HouseOfCards necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 17 diseños de 5 diseñadores freelance.
MyHome.ie is Ireland's leading property and homes portal. Established in 2001, MyHome.ie has transformed the experience of looking for a home for hundreds of thousands of house hunters and has also provided estate agents with an efficient and effective marketing tool.
As the largest property website in Ireland, our target audience are Irish residents over the age of 18.
After the success of our Christmas themed search panel (http://99designs.com/contests/33358) we would like to find design(s) that will work on a permanent basis. We are looking for something simple and clean that will ensure the user's eye concentrates on the search area. The site has 4 major sections that each has its own colour and distinct property type.
For Sale/Residential: Blue (www.myhome.ie & http://www.myhome.ie/residential)
To Rent/Lettings: Red (http://www.myhome.ie/lettings)
Commercial: Green (http://www.myhome.ie/commercial)
Overseas: Orange (http://www.myhome.ie/overseas)
Some of these sections have several types of search i.e. lettings has to rent/sharing/college & holiday homes, you'll see them listed as tabs.
We are open to having the same background design on each with a colouration change/some blending or different imagery for each. This is up to you as the designer. Also we don't wish to make the area flash and are looking to keep the browser/OS dropdowns rather than creating a custom CSS/JS based one for now. The dimensions of the search area bg currently are 988px x 205px. The height can be changed a little if required.
We will leave feedback on all entries. Please not that we are GMT based and will get to all designs during work hours.
The final files should be delivered as layered PSDs.
Edit: After a few designs came in we've noted that the current content (search box and icons to the right) didn't lend themselves. If you find this is the case you are free to alter these as well. All that is required is that search functionality and access to all the links shown is maintained. If it is found that the work done is more than we had expected the prize maybe increased.

As long as you limit the conversation to 2007 and 2011, when they won the Super Bowl, then sure, the Giants are great closers.
Otherwise, their second-half slumps are real, and in their heads.
Under coach Tom Coughlin, the Giants are 53-19 in the first halves of seasons, just 27-38 in the second halves.
"I'm trying not to (talk about it) but you can't hide it. It's been there," Giants defensive end Justin Tuck said, via Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News. "I wish I could sit here and say this team is going to be different from that, but I can't tell the future. All I can tell is we're aware of it and we're trying our darnedest to make sure it doesn't happen again."
Tuck admitted that last week's loss to the Steelers made him think about it, and makes them wonder about the stability of a 6-2 start, when the second half started with a loss that dropped them to 6-3 and brought back those ghosts. After playing the 3-5 Bengals and taking their bye week, the Giants finish with a tougher slate, including games against the Packers, Falcons and Ravens. The good news is, they're 2 1/2 games up on the division, establishing a path to the postseason.
But as history shows, it might not be easy.
"We understand what our history has been in November and it's not a good one (13-20) and we definitely do not want to repeat it," Tuck said. "But the simple fact is we've got to play better. We've got some great football teams coming up. They're going to present huge challenges to us and we've got to be up for that and hopefully we can turn this thing around."
The Giants are like a golfer who's great playing out of trouble — primarily because they have so much practice getting themselves into it to begin with.

Cars 2: My Belated Thoughts
Pixar means many things. Most obviously it's the name of the pioneering film studio in Emeryville, Ca.
For me, Pixar means much more: quality, excitement, entertainment, wonder, thrill, joy.
And, for the first time ever, it means disappointment. It had to happen, the law of averages tells me. To be fair, I saw it coming, but now that it's here, my acute foresight does not make the pain of seeing an average film that is of the Pixar brand any less searing.
The motifs, the morals and the jokes of the film lead me to believe that the movie is more Disney than it is Pixar. The $10 billion in projected merchandise sales also leads me to this conclusion, as does the special toy sections in Target and Ride Makerz, or anywhere else where money be be exchanged for goods.
Pixar's productions, as with most Disney related films, are about overcoming a difference or obstacle. In "UP," Carl faced living a life without his wife and an unfulfilled dream weighing down on him, "Ratatoullie," a rat that loved to cook; "WALL-E," a robot that could love. With "Cars 2," it's a red neck truck that gets mistaken as a spy, and in the process, gets rejected by his friend, who wants him to change.
I wanted Mater to change, too. Next time, be a little less of a push over, Lightning! I'm not endorsing rejecting who you are, but if who you are is as unfunny and bland as Tow Mater, change might not be a bad thing. Especially if you're that kind of person/car and you happen to be starring in a movie produced by my favorite studio. In that case, change, and change quickly, preferably into a new, original character that has nothing to do with a sequel. Like say, a red-headed scottish girl. That sounds like a good idea. A one eyed green walking sphere? Don't change into that.
"Cars 2" could have been made by any studio. That emotion that Pixar films elicit, that connection that is made with the characters, the excitement the plots bring, it's always magical. None of that exists in "Cars 2." It's just one stupid, fart/red-neck/ignorant joke after another. There are some hints of humor that remind you that what you're watching, at one point (the PS, and the PPS from Mater, that was funny), had The Business's most original minds behind it, but the rest of it makes apparent you that they had to hand their baby over at some point to Rumpel Stiltsken. Those 11 films of spun gold had to be paid for. "Toy Story 2" took the necklace, "3" the ring.
It's a movie made for a specific audience, something that has not been done by Pixar: that's how I see it. Obviously, Lasseter and Co. want to make movies that people enjoy, and have been successful in doing so. But the secret to that success is that the movies were made for self satisfaction.They're huge film fans making movies that they would like, which seems like an obvious way to make a film. And it's what they did, until Disney took over, made them release the film a year early, and slowly stripped them of their artistic integrity. When I visited the studios late last year, I was informed that the people in the rooms around me were a little peeved, having been forced to put the film out a year early. Their frustration shows. It also lives in me and all others who truly and devotedly love what they do at Pixar.
Here's to waiting for their next original film, "Brave."

raptorshq needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 33 designs submitted by 9 freelance designers.
We're looking to give http://www.raptorshq.com a facelift! We've had the current look for the past two years but would like to make it a bit easier on the eyes and capable of supporting various new media formats.
For now, all we really want is some different ideas on the look of a new site. There are a ton of NBA and sports blogs out there and we'd like to come up with a distinct and innovative look, not to mention one that's not as busy and has space for some advertising. We've been running RaptorsHQ for over 3 years now and have become THE source for Raptors fans and therefore want to make a site that reflects their interests as well.
- Site that doesn't require much scrolling at all (ie - 85% of content above the fold.)
- Site that uses space from left to right better.
- Room for 3 ad units...a banner (as is currently the case), a skyscraper on one side, and perhaps a smaller box somewhere.
- Less red. Yes, we still need some for both the team colous and the Canadian spin, but not as much.
- Some sort of way to identify the following page names: "Raptors HQ Blog," "HQ Game-Day," "HQ Watercooler," and "HQ International." Tabbed browsing, drop-down boxes...whatever you think might look best.
- Space for a schedule on the HQ Game-Day page, as well as divisional standings, a "game-day chat box," and a video viewer (even simply something that can play Youtube clips.)
- Current logo displayed on each page.
- No "hooplife" mentions as we will be leaving the site. (Hence no need for the tabbed browsing names at the top.)

Captain America was causing me a little consternation. Generally, he's a pretty uncomplicated guy—masked patriot, tights, the total valiant package. But on this particular night I was transfixed by his long eyelashes, blond curly hair and high cheekbones. I couldn't stop staring at the star-chested superhero precisely because I couldn't decide if I should call him "him."
The Details
- 450 Fremont St., 489-3724, drinkanddrag.com.
He was dressed as a she who was dressed as the usually macho Captain, not his sidekick Golden Girl. At Drink & Drag—the local drag club, bowling alley and "gaymer" paradise at Neonopolis—things aren't always as they appear. That's especially true when it hosts nighttime events like the superhero party, where glam queens transform into such caped crusaders as the Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Supergirl and, most stunningly, X-Men's Storm (freaky white contact lenses and all).
One-off parties and special costumed occasions keep things fresh at Drink & Drag. Even though the club is less than a year old, there's a danger it could turn into a novelty, a place that doesn't come to mind for your average Friday night. Drink & Drag should be an obvious choice, though, considering you never know what to expect from a night there, between bowling, pool, darts or just drinking with drags.
There is, of course, the standard clientele of out-of-town bachelorette parties sipping Jack and Cokes out of penis-shaped straws. Who would expect anything else from a club on Fremont where kitsch is king? But for regulars, the themed nights, novel dance numbers and view of folks bowling in their skivvies (games are free if you dare to roll in your briefs) help keep the place interesting.
Of course, interesting is subjective, as sharing a lane with a couple not on the same page about underwear bowling quickly demonstrated. Girlfriend sported a cute red bra and matching panties, while her dude was shamefaced in old-school tighty-whities he probably wished he'd gotten rid of years ago. If there's anyone you don't want to look shabby in front of, it's top queens who probably spend more time getting ready for the night than most of us do on our taxes.
The Enthusiast
In the nearby land of the fully clothed, drag queens performed hourly dances onstage, in the lanes and at the bar, including a full-cast number featuring a dozen ladies singing their hearts out to Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero." Afterward the crowd was so keyed up, I thought they might hold up lighters, provoking a sequined, shimmying encore. One can dream.
Between shows and pitcher refills we bowled two satisfying games (I only dropped the ball once). That might be Drink & Drag's dirty little secret: At its essence, it's a sexier, quirkier bowling alley. So even if drag has lost its luster for you—to which I respond with my best RuPaul "Whaaaat?"—the joy of bowling is always present. And sometimes, Captain America, too.

While it may not have been popular marketing theory at the time, the most successful brands figured out decades ago that it takes character to turn a product into a brand. When a brand has character, it takes on an identity of its own. Its every word, gesture, action, became natural expressions which make the brand instantly recognizable.
What is the character or persona of your brand? The company Added Value has a tool called CharacterLab that helps you figure this out.
There is a free demo to try at this site. The demo will give you a series of photos and characteristics to rank. At the end it will give you the character/persona of your business -- if you are a sole proprietor.
Give yourself some time to work through the demo -- it will get you thinking and the sorting isn't easy. But I was very pleased with my results!
Turns out my business is characterized as the Creator/Sage. Just make sure you take notes at the end. I tried to bookmark my results, but when I tried to view that page again, it led me back to the original demo page. Bummer! But understandable.
Once you have your results then the real work begins -- crafting your brand to be in alignment with your character/persona. That includes aligning the language you use, your colors and graphics, web design, and marketing materials to your character/persona.
Knowing your character/persona really takes a lot of the mystery out of creating your brand and telling your stories.
So go have fun!

Programming on Android is 97 kinds of awful.
The default choice is to use JUnit, which is mostly useless if you are using anything in the android.* namespace as a regular JVM will grind to a halt and die.
If you use robotium, you're now involving at least an Android VM, or possibly running on real hardware – but the costs is that you will need to either spin up that VM or you need to have a device plugged in. Running tests involves loading code into your Android machine, starting up a full application and then instrumentation. This is slow and painful.
For Mozilla Stumbler, we made the choice to use robolectric[1] Robolectric fixes the "time to run tests" problem really well. Tests run in a regular JVM, they run reasonably quickly and you can get things running in a continuous integration platform without too much pain. We use it on Travis for the stumbler. Robolectric will play nice with JUnit4 so it's not entirely jarring trying to wrap your head around it.
Your best bet here is to start reading some code to see what to do – a good place to start is the code that tests our software update in github.
@Config(emulateSdk = 18) @RunWith(RobolectricTestRunner.class) public class UpdaterTest { private Context ctx; private MainDrawerActivity activity; @Before public void setUp() throws Exception { ctx = Robolectric.application; activity = Robolectric.newInstanceOf(MainDrawerActivity.class); Updater.sLastUpdateCheck = 0; } @Test public void testUpdater() { IHttpUtil mockHttp = new MockHttpUtil(); Updater upd = new Updater(); upd = spy(upd); // Setup mocks. // Replace the HTTP client and clock MockSystemClock clock = new MockSystemClock(); long now = System.currentTimeMillis(); clock.setCurrentTime(now); ServiceLocator.getInstance().putService(IHttpUtil.class, mockHttp); ServiceLocator.getInstance().putService(ISystemClock.class, clock); // skip the exclusive wifi-only check doReturn(false).when(upd).wifiExclusiveAndUnavailable(Mockito.any(Context.class)); assertFalse(upd.checkForUpdates(activity, "")); assertFalse(upd.checkForUpdates(activity, null)); assertTrue(upd.checkForUpdates(activity, "anything_else")); assertEquals("1.3.0", upd.stripBuildHostName("1.3.0.Victors-MBPr")); assertEquals("1.3.0", upd.stripBuildHostName("1.3.0")); } }
Things to note:
You're going to need the two annotations
@Config and
@RunWith on the test class to ensure that robolectric is enabled when your test is executed. If you forget these – you're going to get bizarre errors when the regular JUnit4 tries to execute your testcases.
If you haven't used JUnit in a long time, you're also going to have to get used to the
@Before and
@Test annotations. Apparently things have changed in 10 years and methods named
setUp or starting with
test are no longer automatically picked up by JUnit.
There's quite a bit happening in this little test. The Updater class is instantiated and we immediately wrap that with
a mockito spy. This lets us dynamically stub out behaviour – usually to no-op some function. In this case, we want to trick the Updater into thinking that a network is always available.
We also use a service locator pattern to dynamically inject dependencies into the stumbler. In this test, we inject
a fake system clock so that we can instrument time. The Updater class checks the system clock periodically – we want to
ensure that our test case runs the Updater with a known time.
The rest of the test case is the usual JUnit assertions.
If you run the tests from command line using :
make test, you'll get nice HTML output showing you your test results under the
android/build/test-report/github/unittest/index.html path.
Library tests are also executed by
make test and will show up under
Those are the basics – robolectric lets you instrument android UI bits as well which I'll cover in the next post.

According to officials with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, there is little economic evidence that commodity prices are being systematically driven by speculators.
Jeffrey Harris, CFTC's chief economist told the House Agriculture Subcommittee on General Farm Commodities and Risk Management, that the CFTC analysis was based on the following reasons:
• Prices have risen sharply for many commodities that have neither developed futures markets (durum wheat, steel, iron ore, coal, etc.) nor institutional fund investments (Minneapolis wheat and Chicago rice).
• Markets where index trading is greatest as a percentage of total open interest (live cattle and hog futures) have actually suffered from falling prices during the past year.
• The level of speculation in the agriculture commodity and the crude oil markets has remained relatively constant in percentage terms as prices have risen.
• Our studies in agriculture and crude oil markets have found that speculators tend to follow trends in prices rather than set them.
• Speculators such as managed money traders are both buyers and sellers in these markets. For example, data shows that there are almost as many bearish funds in wheat and crude oil as bullish funds.
"Simply put, the economic data shows that overall commodity price levels, including agriculture commodity and energy futures prices, are being driven by powerful fundamental economic forces and the laws of supply and demand," Harris said. "These fundamental economic factors include increased demand from emerging markets; decreased supply due to weather or geopolitical events; and a weakened dollar.
"Together, these fundamental economic factors have formed a perfect storm that is causing significant upward pressure on futures prices across-the-board."
The testimony flies in the face of testimony made April 22 at an agricultural forum held at the CFTC, where several cotton merchants and grain handlers said speculators were to blame for the extreme price volatility which nearly paralyzed forward contracting of crops in early March.
Joe Nicosia, CEO of Allenberg Cotton Co., said one category of speculator, index funds, "have turned futures contracts into investment contracts, thereby defeating the purposes for which agricultural contracts were created. The result has rendered the agricultural contracts, particularly the cotton contracts, ineffective for hedging against price risks, the discovery of prices and the actual pricing of commercial transactions."
Nicosia said the CFTC "doesn't have the information to determine what went wrong. So much is taking place off the exchange. Fundamentally what took place was a systematic approach to push prices higher. You saw larger volume and larger prices than ever existed in night sessions while the industry slept."
Harris said that given the widespread impact of the higher futures prices, the CFTC "will continue to collect and analyze our data closely, including continuing discussions and work with academic institutions, industry experts and other government experts and economists."

Isaac Holeman '09 is heading to Africa after graduation. Far from a safari vacation, Holeman will start work in Malawi with FrontlineSMS:Medic, a venture he co-founded to support community health workers in the developing world with mobile technology.
A biochemistry and molecular biology major, Holeman has earned numerous academic honors in his time at Lewis & Clark, including membership in the prestigious Pamplin Society of Fellows as well as being named a Rogers Scholar. Most recently, Holeman received a fellowship from the Compton Foundation's Mentor Fellowship Program, which promotes the creativity, commitment, and service of ten graduating seniors across the country with the funding to implement a self-directed project.
Holeman hopes his project will aid communities with little infrastructure, where the transmission of basic yet life-saving information still depends on health workers walking up to 100 miles. By integrating a free program that turns a laptop and a mobile phone into a central communications hub and an electronic medical record system, the FrontlineSMS:Medic team will help to link workers in the field with health centers and hospitals.
"Isaac's project is extremely innovative and will help launch him on what we all know will be an extraordinary career in public health," said Professor of Economics Eban Goodstein.
As commencement nears, Holeman talks about how he has prepared for this work and shares his hopes for the project and the future.
Can you explain a bit about FrontlineSMS:Medic and what you'll be doing for the organization?
A few months ago, I began working on a project using cell phones to empower community health workers in poor rural areas, mostly in East Africa. My initial vision was to give cell phones to health workers so that they could send text messages to doctors, and also write a program that would enable them to access electronic medical records with their phones. Since I started out, the project has grown a lot; I've teamed up with other students here at Lewis & Clark, as well as the undergraduate and medical schools at Stanford, and we decided to launch under the name FrontlineSMS:Medic. We've lined up some really great clinical partners, so we'll be setting up this technology with at least 15 global health organizations across several continents in the next year. I'll spend most of the year based out of Malawi, working with several health centers there, as well as directing implementation across the globe via e-mail and Skype.
How have your classes or extracurricular experiences at Lewis & Clark prepared you for this work?
I'm a biochemistry and molecular biology major. If I had not been a part of this rigorous, very challenging major, I just don't think I would have the confidence to do what I'm doing right now. I have had some incredible experiences working with technology with friends here on campus, as well as with the vibrant open-source tech community in Portland. I used to think my fascination with technology was just a hobby. It was only recently that I discovered the field of global health informatics and realized that I could design a career that would bring together technology, information, and global health. Finally, studying abroad in Havana, The Netherlands, and Guatemala were all important experiences that prepared me to begin planning FrontlineSMS:Medic.
What other international experiences have you participated in, and what impact have those experiences had on you?
Choosing to study in The Netherlands between high school and college was probably the best decision I've ever made. When I finished high school, I was relatively egocentric and narrow minded, and, frankly, that lifestyle was not making me very happy. While abroad in Holland, I ended up selecting Lewis & Clark for it's global and political ethos, and I've been thinking more and more about global citizenship since then. After my sophomore year, I spent about two months in Guatemala, learning Spanish and participating in a human rights delegation that taught me a lot about the practice of human rights (which is worlds away from the philosophy or scholarship of human rights). Just a few weeks after returning to The States, I left again for Havana, Cuba, with about 25 other LC students and a professor of sociology. I spent most of the semester conducting an ethnography at a walk-in clinic in downtown Havana. It was my first extensive qualitative research project, and a fascinating peek at a health system that is very different from our own.
You've been an advocate for health care reform in this country by working with the Archimedes Movement. You were also a vocal supporter of the Obama campaign. What changes do you hope to see in the sector in the next few years?
My freshman year at Lewis & Clark I started working with the Archimedes Movement and learning from visionary leaders like Liz Baxter and former Governor John Kitzhaber. For about four years, we've been trying to inject one big idea into the health care debate: the way we finance health care is distinct from the way we deliver it. Changing the financing mechanism alone will not get us out of this mess. Changing the structure of our delivery system will not be easy—one in 11 jobs in our economy is related to health care, and it's not surprising that hard-working people want to keep their jobs. If we want to make our country viable again, patients and providers will need to commit to being citizens first and stake-holders second. This idea is not mainstream yet, but it's increasingly common in policy circles, and I fervently hope that President Obama will make it a pillar of our health reform agenda.
Given the growing need for human services and funding challenges, how do you hope to make a difference?
I'm carving out a path in global health informatics, and I'd like to spend my career cultivating entrepreneurial educational systems that address real problems rather than just training people to get high paying jobs. For the next year, my work with FrontlineSMS:Medic will be supported by a Compton Mentor Fellowship, and subsequently I'll attend medical school. I will definitely continue to engage in the political process, but I'm probably too unconventional in my political philosophies to run for elected office under either of the dominant political parties in the U.S. I can imagine working with the World Health Organization, but who knows? For now, I'm content working hard and listening intently for the coy knock of opportunity.

On May 15th of 2011, Harvey Mudd College streamed its commencement ceremonies for the first time. With the successful collaboration of multiple teams, it went very well from the start of the preparations to the end of the event. We thank all those who worked tirelessly to make this first step as smoothly as possible.
Judy Augsburger, Senior Director of Advancement Communications, wrote about her impressions that:
I was delighted with our first livestream of commencement. The three camera shoot was well directed and the footage looked lovely. We had a total of 278 views during the ceremony, which was more than I thought we would get given that our main promotional efforts were geared towards the families of graduates, of which we had just 178.
It was rewarding for me to get a phone call at the start of the ceremony from a grandparent who was trying to access the livestream to see his grandson graduate. I talked him through some rudimentary browser features (now I know I'm not cut out for computer support services!) until he could see the ceremony. He was quite happy for the opportunity to watch his grandson get a diploma live.
A real advantage for our office of livestreaming commencement is that the video is recorded and saved in the livestream archive, and available to upload immediately. We posted it quickly to our YouTube channel and within four days it already had 481 views. We couldn't have posted it so quickly if we had needed to go through all the footage and edit it; editing takes quite a bit of time. So we are pleased that we could provide the video quite quickly to those who couldn't watch it live, but wanted to watch it soon after and experience some of the excitement and joy of the moment.
And about the technical aspects of the commencement live streaming prep and production, our Media Services Technician, James Sadler, reported that:
Streaming was done using Livestream.com and was done in standard definition. University of La Verne's LV3TV camera and production crew were brought in to handle the three camera production and mixing. Audio was handled, as usual, by Nelson Sound and they gave the LV3TV crew a drop from their mixer board. This allowed Michael Meyka to watch over the whole production and James Sadler to make sure the streaming end of everything was up and running consistently.
The LV3TV team received a network drop coming out of the McAllister building next to the commencement site. The network connection was thoroughly tested by CIS staff members on Friday the 13th to make sure it was strong and didn't hit any firewall issues. On the following Saturday, an actual stream was tested to verify again that everything would work properly. After trying a few different options, they decided that using a PC laptop with Wirecast 4.1 installed to send the video to Livestream.com was the best solution.
During the commencement, the stream went extremely smoothly with no hiccups or issues. Here are a few stats from the live stream: peak number of viewers: 77, total number of live views: 278, number of countries viewed in: 10, and replays to date (05/18/2011): ~200.
The commencement video is available on HMC's YouTube channel.

The longest day came and went without so much as a whistle. The Alexandrians of Egypt figured out more than 2,000 years ago that on the summer solstice, when the sun was almost as high in the sky as it would ever get at noon, they could gauge the height of a structure or tree simply by using a Pythagorean theorem: Measure the length of the shadow that the sun cast. It's the same as the height of the object you are measuring. The old isosceles triangle ploy. I'm not sure it works at this latitude in this part of the world.
Friday's downpour precipitated at least two big events in the local amphibian world. Saturday night, Andy Sabin was out listening and looking for eastern spadefoot toads. After a considerable rain during hot weather times, these fossorial, seldom seen creatures come out in droves. Andy was on Atlantic Avenue near the ocean in Amagansett when he found spadefoots crossing the road on the way to the breeding pond. How they know where to go to mate after a year or more underground is a question that even the Alexandrians would not be able to answer. I guess they are born with mini-global positioning systems, a sense and memory of direction that few humans possess.
Interestingly, they start calling before they've even dug themselves out of the soil. The ground can be practically pulsating with their duck-like quacking, and if you didn't know about spadefoots you'd think that you were about to witness the emergence of the walking dead. Because of its very dry climate, Australia has as many burrowing frogs as ones that stay above ground all year. North America has a mere handful, all spadefoots. They have specially designed "paws" for digging, thus the modifier "spade" in their common name.
I was 17 when I first learned about this species on Long Island. It was 1952 and I had driven from Mattituck to Riverhead to take in the stock car races on a sultry July Saturday evening with the windows open. I hadn't heard anything unusual on the way. A big thunderstorm with pouring rain interrupted the races. On the way home after the rain had stopped, I heard strange sounds coming from a wetland depression on the north side of County Road 58, before the roundabout.
I stopped the car and listened. The sounds got louder and louder in a tumultuous cacophony that was much like the late afternoon chorus of hundreds of crows settling down at a wintertime roost. But the sound was coming from below, not from the canopies of trees above. I figured it must be some kind of frog or toad.
When I got home, I got out my edition of Roger Conant's "A Field Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians," which I still use today. Looking through the section on frogs I came across the eastern spadefoot and its voice, "an explosive grunt, rather low pitched, short in duration, but repeated at brief intervals. Some persons liken the sound to the call of a young crow." That was it, my first Long Island spadefoot toad. I didn't hear another until I went out listening for frogs the evening of Hurricane Belle in July of 1976. I came across a bunch cawing away on Sandy Hollow Road on my way to North Sea in Southampton.
On Saturday evening on the way home from a party in Montauk I got caught up in a traffic jam where Route 27 leaves Hither Woods and descends onto Napeague. I had the windows open and was treated to a bunch of tremolos of a pitch close to C above middle C. They were coming from both sides of the road just west of where Montauk Highway and Old Montauk Highway merge. I knew immediately what they were. Gray tree frogs. There had to be hundreds of them calling. On that 1976 July evening when the spadefoots were calling in Southampton, they were joined by a chorus of gray tree frogs.
I took the back roads on my way back to Noyac, stopping and listening at this and that waterhole. I didn't hear any at Chatfield's Hole on Two Holes of Water Road in Northwest, but around the corner, there were dozens calling around Crooked Pond off Bull Path. Crooked Pond is little more than the size of your average living room, but it is evidently home to gray tree frogs, and that in and of itself makes it all the more worthwhile.

Arsonists must have
not been thinking
To the person or persons unknown:
What was in your mind the night you torched the 90-year-old building in Grant County Park?
After reading the "Guest Column" by Chuck Estridge that sounded like every television political commercial, I had to respond to the falsehoods and inaccuracies that the column contained.
Choose city council members wisely
"Two public meetings, two votes, two different outcomes." " I was against the project but now I am for it." "I said then, it's not my first choice for our city but where it's located on the west side of 75, the impact would be extremely small to the city. If it was on the east side of 75, I wouldn't be for this."
These statements were from elected officials that voted in favor of "A" truck stop.
Brian Linder is 'better' candidate
"We deserve better" has become the hue and cry at election time. But, how do we get "better".
I suggest, if we want better, we take some time to look at who and what is being offered from candidates for any office in question.
Bredenberg is a
man of integrity
I'm writing to support my friend, Richard Bredenberg, running for re-election to the Grant County School Board. I've known him 40 years and can say he's a man of integrity and will always have the children's best interest at heart. He's taught in the public school system 33 years and 10 years at NKU.
I called the Central Kentucky Blood Center in Lexington to check on how much blood I have donated over the years. Their computers show a total of 86 units of blood.
I called Hoxworth Blood Center in Cincinnati and checked and I had donated eight units to them over the years.
Let's Make Em'
Larn Anglish!
I thought of the old "why don't they learn English when the following happened. How does the old quote go, "Oh, to see ourselves as others see us?"
On a recent stop at a hotel in Tennessee, we were chatting with the desk clerk. She asked where we were from, and when we told her Kentucky, she said, "I wouldn't have guessed that."
"Why," I asked?
"You don't talk like I would have expected."
During the 2008 election in Pennsylvania, two black panthers dressed in tactical garb and with billy clubs, stood outside a voting station to intimidate white voters. Newly elected President Barack H. Obama appointed Eric Holder as Attorney General and head of the Department of Justice, who then refused to prosecute because of their skin color. Are we being a little racist there Eric? Imagine if the equally racist offenders had been K.K.K. They would be in prison and we would still be hearing about the offense on CBS/NBC, etc.

Microsoft continues to show its iOS portfolio some attention with todays launch of a major update to their OneNote application for iPhone and iPad. Following the — albeit limited — launch of Office for iOS, OneNote has been redesigned from the ground up with a mostly new codebase and a new, cleaner interface that is more consistent across platforms, as well as a more consistent, rich editing experience. So, the notes you create on your Windows 8 computer will look virtually identical when you open them up on your iPhone or iPad.
The update also adds SkyDrive Pro and Sharepoint syncing, important for those users who rely on OneNote as part of their business solution. The iPad version gets the Office Ribbon UI along the top of the display, instantly familiar to anyone who's ever used Microsoft Office for any length of time. The update also puts an end to the 500 note limit for free users. From now on, create as much as you like, for as long as you like. Truth be told, OneNote is one of only a few Microsoft apps I've ever found myself using for any length of time, and this new version really isn't bad. Grab a copy from the App Store now, and be sure to let us know how you're finding it.

Crash Training Program (J Friel)
In fact, I did start the program with a trip to the Gold Coast last week and a couple of discovery rides on the Hinterlands. They were great rides in amazingly beautiful places but they were hard rides as well. Unfortunately, they proved to be fairly taxing on the shoulder, indicating that I needed to decide on training or fixing my shoulder.

House Democratic Leader Pelosi endorses freedom to marry plank in 2012 platform
February 15, 2012
It's only been two days since we launched our Democrats: Say I Do campaign calling on the national Democratic Party to include a plank in support of the freedom to marry in its 2012 platform, and already we have the endorsement of one of the party's highest ranking elected officials, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. In an exclusive with Metro Weekly's Chris Geidner late last night, Pelosi's spokesman Drew Hammill stated, "Leader Pelosi supports this language."
We're thrilled to have the support and endorsement from one of the Democratic Party's most influential leaders. Our Founder and President Evan Wolfson released this statement:
"Freedom to Marry is proud to have Leader Pelosi joining our call to put the Democratic Party squarely on record in support of the freedom to marry as part of the national platform. A strong majority of Democrats and Independents support the freedom to marry, and standing up for all families is not just the right thing to do morally, it's also right to do politically. I hope more people will quickly join Leader Pelosi by signing Freedom to Marry's Democrats: Say I Do petition so together we can get the party, and the country, where the majority of Americans already are."
And it's not just House Leader Pelosi who is picking up on the momentum of this campaign- in less than 48 hours, our petition has generated nearly 10,000 signatures from supporters nationwide!
Between now and the Democratic National Convention in September, we'll organize around the country to urge the party to include the freedom to marry plank in its platform. Building on the momentum of House Leader Pelosi's endorsement, we'll continue to enlist party leaders, elected officials, marriage advocates, and every day voters to demonstrate the widespread support amongst members of the Democratic Party to the Platform Drafting Committee.
The proposed language for the plank builds on previous, less explicit planks endorsed over the past two presidential election cycles, and states:
"We support the full inclusion of all families in the life of our nation, with equal respect, responsibilities, and protections under the law, including the freedom to marry. Government has no business putting barriers in the path of people seeking to care for their family members, particularly in challenging economic times. We support the Respect for Marriage Act and the overturning of the federal so-called Defense of Marriage Act, and oppose discriminatory constitutional amendments and other attempts to deny the freedom to marry to loving and committed same-sex couples."
Click here to add your name to the petition calling on the party to adopt the plank and then share this action with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, and via email.

Boy, 6, Drowns In Pool On Cruise Ship
MIAMI (AP) — Carnival Cruise Lines says a 6-year-old boy has drowned in one of its pools while at sea.
The company says in a statement that the Carnival Victory ship was on the last leg of a four-day Caribbean cruise on Sunday when the boy drowned. He was at the pool area with other family members.
The ship arrived Monday morning at Port Miami.
The Miami-Dade Police Department is investigating and identified the boy as Qwentyn Hunter of Winter Garden, Fla. Investigators say the boy was with his 10-year-old brother in the pool at the time. Passengers immediately pulled the boy from the water and began CPR, but the child was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say the drowning appears to be accidental and foul play is not suspected.

Tani did sculpt a 1/100 Terror Mirage that had one of its legs standing on top of a rock-like base.
Yen-Xing was listed as non-scale in Model Graphix, but 1/100 sounds about right. This kit is huge, over 30cm in height, if I remember correctly. With that said, I think 1/100 is the correct scale.
So far I can only find this picture of Tani's 1/100 Terror:

There is a lot of information out on the web about soundcard/radio interface hardware. If you decide to use any kind of software that employs your computer's soundcard as a TNC, you will need to buy or build such an interface. (If you use a serial or USB connected external TNC then you don't need a soundcard interface.)
This device is not mode or band specific. You can use the same device that you employ for other digital modes (PSK, slowscan, RTTY, etc.), as long as it will connect to the radio and the computer combination that you are going to use for APRS. For example: if you use your Icom 706 mkIIG (an all-mode HF through 70cm rig) for PSK-31 on HF, you probably can use the same soundcard/radio interface device for APRS. Just set up the radio for the mode, band and frequency used in your area for APRS operation, and run your APRS software instead of your PSK software.
The task is to connect the audio inputs and outputs between the radio and soundcard. Solutions range from direct connection to electrically isolated systems using audio transformers or optical coupling. Some provision for keying the radio is also useful. Usually this involves a connection to the computer via serial port (USB or rs232) or parallel port.
This is a good opportunity for doing a little junkbox homebrewing. The guts of old computer modems usually contain audio isolation transformers, rs-232 ports and other hardware bits.
For an off-the-shelf solution, West Mountain Radio's RigBlaster units are popular.

What is Echinacea Angustifolia?
The Eclectics were a group of Doctors who used primarily botanical medicine from the 1830's until the 1930's, and were largely responsible for popularizing Echinacea angustifolia. The Lloyd Brothers were pharmacists and botanists who supplied the Eclectics with "Specific Echinacea" and Echafolta; a purified and potent form of the plant medicine made from E. angustifolia root. Prof. John Uri Lloyd studied this botanical remedy for thirteen years starting in 1885 without determining the exact chemical composition of the acrid tongue numbing chemicals now known as alkylamides or isobutylamides. It was and is still used as an "alterative" which is a class of plants known to support the removal of cellular waste while maintaining healthy uptake of nutrition at the cellular level. Before the Eclectics even thought of using Echinacea it was used by Native American medicine men and holds an honored place in the folk culture of many tribes of the plains as depicted in their artwork, particularly their beadwork. It was more than a medicine to our Native ancestors and was honored as a Spirit. This is one of the most widely used and storied medicinal plants in North American history.
What is Echinacea Angustifolia Used For?
The exact mechanism of Echinacea angustifolia's effect on the mucosal membranes has not been fully understood until recently. Research conducted by Gaia Herbs and several institutions and Universities has elucidated compounds that have restructured our understanding of how Echinacea works. These compounds are called RxA Factors and represent the alkylamide fractions known as isobutlyamides. RxA Factors are found in the roots of E. angustifolia and purpurea and also in the mature ripe seed of E. purpurea. RxA Factors help maintain a healthy inflammatory response. RxA Factors supports the tissues of the sinuses and throat that are exposed to airborne stressors and help support an acutely challenged immune system.

Back in the day, the No. 1 source in town for Psychotronic movie rentals was a little shop on Lead called Wavy Brain—which was owned and operated by none other than local filmmaker Scott Phillips (creator of The Stink of Flesh and the upcoming Gimme Skelter). Every week, I would make the trek into town from Los Lunas in order to soothe my burning desire for all things trash cinema. One fateful day, I asked Scott if he could help me find the title of the film Patricia Arquette's character was watching on TV in True Romance. I can still remember that day like it was yesterday. It was the day everything changed for me—as if I had undergone some sort of cinematic revelation. It was, of course, the day I was introduced to John Woo films. (She was watching A Better Tomorrow II, by the way.)

Werner Herzog puts his actors through hell, with heavenly results
As a filmmaker, Werner Herzog is noted for his attraction to epic stories of men and their single-minded (some might say obsessive) quests to conquer and/or overcome their surroundings. This isn't all that surprising, given that Herzog himself is often categorized as a man on a single-minded (some might say obsessive) quest to conquer and/or overcome his surroundings. With classic adventure dramas films like Aguirre: the Wrath of God, Cobra Verde, Where the Green Ants Dream and Fitzcarraldo, Herzog gained as much of a reputation for the lengths to which he was willing to push himself, his cast and his crew as for the stunning, primal images he captured.

"Mad Men" on AMC
Late summer isn't traditionally the time of year for quality TV. Right about now, the networks are dragging out their fourth round of reruns and as many singing/dancing competitions as schedules will allow. But this year, a number of channels (basic cable channels, anyway) have decided not to abandon their audiences to the vagaries of beach weather and cineplex blockbusters. Last week alone, FX cranked out its fancy new legal thriller "Damages" (with Glenn Close, no less) and AMC launched one of its rare forays into weekly drama, the innovative period piece "Mad Men."

"Who Wants to Be a Superhero?" (Sci-Fi 7 p.m.) Who would have thought a show about ordinary people dressing up in tights and trying to act like superheroes would be so oddly touching? And yet, last season had plenty of teary moments. Let's hope this new season proves equally silly and heartfelt.
"Mind Control With Derren Brown" (Sci-Fi 8 p.m.) Derren Brown is a mentalist—that is, he claims no supernatural power but seems to possess an uncanny skill at reading people's minds and influencing their behavior. Freaky cool.

New York City police stops of hundreds of thousands of people each year are in the spotlight as city lawmakers consider setting new rules for the stop-and-frisk practice and even appointing an inspector general to monitor the police department.
It is too soon to say what laws, if any, will result from City Council hearings on the proposals, beginning Wednesday.
But after years of complaints that the practice discriminates against minorities, the hearings signal the public debate has gotten loud enough that lawmakers, not to mention candidates in next year's mayoral election, feel they have to be heard.
The controversy is playing out amid the contest to succeed term-limited Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has defended the practice. All the likely top contenders have made a point of saying they are concerned about stop-and-frisks, including Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who has near-total control over which efforts get to a council vote.
Quinn said at an unrelated news conference Tuesday that she wants "ongoing reform" of stop-and-frisks but hasn't decided whether to support any of the proposals.
Besides creating an inspector general's post, the measures would require officers to explain why they are stopping people, tell them when they have a right to refuse a search, and hand out business cards identifying themselves. Another proposal would give people more latitude to sue over stops they considered biased.
In stop-and-frisks, officers approach, question and sometimes pat down people police say were behaving suspiciously — acting like a lookout or carrying a pry bar, for example — but weren't necessarily sought in any particular crime.
The stops became an integral part of the city's law enforcement in the mid-1990s, but the numbers have risen since Bloomberg took office in 2002. Officers made a record 684,330 of the stops last year, seven times the number in 2002. They stopped about 337,000 in the first six months of this year.
Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly credit the practice with deterring violence and helping drive down New York's crime rate to the lowest among the country's 25 most populous cities, as measured by the FBI.
"The last thing we need is to have some politician or judge getting involved with setting policy," Bloomberg said at an unrelated news conference Monday. "Because you won't be safe anymore. Today you are."
But stop-and-frisk critics point to other statistics: Some 87 percent of those stopped last year involved blacks or Hispanics, and about 12 percent of the stops resulted in arrests or tickets. Opponents say the figures add up to racial profiling that does little for public safety.
"We all want a safe city … but discriminatory policing has grown significantly in recent years. I don't believe it actually makes us safer because it frays the bond of trust between police and the community," said Councilman Brad Lander, a lead sponsor of the inspector general proposal.

HIROSHIMA, Japan (Aug. 20, 2012) – The U.S. Under-20 Women's National Team opened play at the 2012 FIFA Under-20 Women's World Cup with a 4-0 victory against Ghana at the Hiroshima Big Arch Stadium as forward Maya Hayes scored a second half hat-trick.
Germany defeated China, 4-0, in the second match of the evening meaning the Americans and Germans are tied atop Group D on points, goal difference and goals scored.
Hayes' true hat-trick increased her international goals total at the U-20 level to 15 while the U.S. also benefited from an own goal in the 20th minute. The hat trick was the 10th for U.S. player in a FIFA World Cup at all levels and fifth for a female player, following Carin Gabarra and Michelle Akers (five goals) in the 1991 FIFA Women's World Cup in China, Kelly Wilson in the 2002 FIFA U-19 Women's World Cup in Canada and Sydney Leroux in the 2010 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Germany.
The USA will next face China PR at 5:50 a.m. ET on Thursday, Aug. 23. The match will be broadcast live on ESPNU and ESPN3. Fans can also follow the match on ussoccer.com's MatchTracker and on Twitter @ussoccer_ynt.
The match was played in sweltering temperatures that reached the high 80s and the young Americans started the game with a touch of nerves. Ghana's Florance Dadson had the game's first two shots, including one on goal in the fourth minute and created a near breakaway two minutes later. U.S. captain Julie Johnston was able to scramble back and disrupt Dadson's run, causing her to shoot wide.
The USA then settled down and played some excellent ball-possession soccer the rest of the way against a talented Ghanaian team that featured eight players from the side that tied the USA 1-1 in the opening game of the 2010 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.
The USA's first legitimate scoring threat came in the 20th minute off a corner kick from the left side as Vanessa DiBernardo's service found Morgan Brian, who skied over the pack of players to drill her header off the crossbar. The ball deflected down into the goal box, bounced off the leg of Ghana defender Linda Addai and ended up in the net.
Ghana goalkeeper Patricia Mantey made some clutch saves in the first half to keep things tight, including diving to her right to put a glove on Brian's volley in the 28th minute, and then pushed away a solid Chioma Ubogagu strike to her left in the 36th minute.
In the 41st minute, Ubogagu beats Mantley to through ball in the penalty box and dance around her, but with the Ghana 'keeper caught way out of her goal, she sliced her shot at open net wide left from a tough angle at about 16 yards out.
The USA got its second goal at the perfect time – just five minutes into the second half – as Hayes scored her first off a header to make it 2-0. Right winger Kealia Ohai dribbled in from the flank just inside the penalty area and crossed to Hayes, who got in front of Ghana defender Rosemary Ampem and clinically directed the ball past Mantey.
Two substitutes combined to set up Hayes for her second goal and the team's third when Katie Stengel ran onto a throw-in from the right near the end line. Stengel looped in a cross that was flicked on by the head of Samantha Mewis, who was making a run straight up the middle. The ball bounced past a defender to Hayes who easily bounced her shot into the corner from six yards out to make it 3-0.
Hayes completed her trifecta in the second minute of stoppage time after she ran onto a through ball from Mewis and chipped over Mantey, who had gone low in an attempt to block the shot.
The teams had 13 shots each, but none of Ghana's troubled U.S. goalkeeper Bryane Heaberlin as they were all from distance. Heaberlin made three saves for the USA while coming off her line well to cut off through balls, and benefited from a back line that didn't let the speedy Ghanaians get free over the 90 minutes.
Additional Notes:
- The U.S. U-20 WNT improved its international record to 13-1-0 in 2012.
- The USA posted its 11th shutout victory of the year.
- The U.S. benefited from an own goal for the first time this year in international play. The USA has scored 55 goals in international matches this year.
- Samantha Mewis replaced Sarah Killion in the 72nd minute and picked up two assists in her 19 minutes of play.
- Katie Stengel replaced Chioma Ubogagu in the 61st minute and the USA made its final sub in the 81st as Mandy Laddish came on for Morgan Brian.

Today's "Positive Thought"
I love the words from today's Positive Thought from Jeremiah 3:19: "I am happy to treat you as my child, and I hope you'll call me Father."
When I think of God being actually HAPPY to call me His child--not doing it because He has to--it changes how I think about Him in every way. And when I realize this, I'm more than happy to call Him Father.

Czech Photography of the 20th Century
Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague
1st Part
23 June to 25 September 2005
House of the Stone Bell
2nd part
29 June to 9 October 2005
Municipal Library
3rd Part
1 July to 9 October 2005
With more than 1,200 exhibits from many collections, foreign as well as Czech, Czech Photography of the 20th Century is the largest comprehensive exhibition project here to date, presenting the main trends, personalities, and works of Czech photography of the last century
. It follows on from a number of previous exhibitions featuring various periods of Czech and Czechoslovak photography compiled by Rudolf Skopec, Anna Fárová, Antonín Dufek, Jaroslav Anděl, Pavel Scheufler, Daniela Mrázková, Vladimír Remeš, Josef Moucha, and other historians and curators of photography.
The exhibition originated as a special project under the auspices of the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague and is being held in collaboration with the City Gallery Prague.
The tremendous quantity of work, mostly period originals, means that the exhibition must take place at three different locations. The Museum of Decorative Arts is where the introductory part is being held, with Impressionist and Art Nouveau Pictorialism, news and documentary photography of the 1910s and the 1920s, purist Pictorialism, picture poems of Czech Poetism, works made during the transition from Pictorialism to Modernism, and the beginnings of abstract photography.
In the City Gallery Prague at the House of the Stone Bell, the exhibition comprises works from various avant-garde movements, from Constructivism to New Objectivity and Surrealism, as well as traditional portraits, social-documentary photography, works by German photographers living in interwar Czechoslovakia, and documentary works from the beginning of modern photojournalism, the Second World War, and the three years of restored democracy from the liberation to the Communist takeover.
The third section, the most extensive, is in the City Gallery Prague exhibition halls at the Municipal Library, covering the development of photography from 1948 to 2000. It features Socialist Realism from the harshest period of Communist totalitarianism, works created outside the official mainstream, works in the spirit of the poetry of everyday life, Art Informel, staged photography, photography in Conceptual Art, Land Art, and Body Art, various trends in documentary photography and photojournalism, multimedia works of the last three decades, the renascence of photographic portraiture as well as works by a number of contemporary artists employing photographic media. The exhibits are placed in individual sections based on period, topic, and style considerations, and are accompanied by books, journals, and catalogues from the relevant period.
Not wanting to prepare an exhibition merely of works by the most important photographers such as
Drtikol, Sudek, Rössler, Funke, Štyrský, Koudelka, Saudek, Štreit, and Kratochvíl
, we have sought to document various creative trends with photographs by lesser known and sometimes even totally forgotten photographers.
The exhibition is accompanied by a Guide to Czech Photography published in Czech and English versions by the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague and KANT.
The Patron of the exhibition is Livia Klausová, wife of the President of the Czech Republic. The exhibition is supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.
