dianne strang needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 35 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
btmr - back to my roots
Dianne and Amber are a mother and daughter research team who are bringing a more modern, vibrant and personal approach to tracing your ancestors. We look at all the angles to help bring their stories to life - what was life really like for Grandpa in the trenches? What did my ancestor go to prison for ( do you REALLY want to know?). We also help international departments, historians and writers find new facts for their upcoming films, books and lectures etc.
We are not 'anoracky' in any way but professional and dynamic and our aim is to engage a younger generation in their past. Can you help us with a neat logo?
We need to wear several hats here. There is no doubt that a lot of people engaged in research are retired and doing it for fun but we know more and more young people who would love to know more about their background or would like to give a family tree as a present to a relative so we need to attract them too.
Nice and simple.
We'd like a tree logo with roots and our 'btmr' lettering. I thought that the trunk of the tree could be formed from the upright of the 't' in our 'btmr'. Underneath we would need to have the words 'back to my roots...' as our btmr is not a brand name - YET!
Nice natural colours - blue sky, green leaves, brown wood etc and I suppose black lettering.
Simple,neat and memorable would be the ideal.
I've drawn a very rough sketch of the initial concept which I will attach. Don't laugh at it!

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is probably one of the best known security measures. To be truly secure however, current security needs demand more than data encryption. SSL is limited in that it does not make a website secure. SSL offers encryption for information sent to and from a website. SSL however has no way of ensuring security at the server level and therefore cannot protect private data stored on a website.
In addition, utilizing website vulnerability scanners alone to protect your website does not guarantee security. Vulnerability scanners usually neglect the security of custom web applications that reside on the web server. This means that if a custom web application has a security flaw; it will not be detected since the scanner is programmed to identify flaws within its signature database.
In order to be truly secure, a web application should be immune to SQL injections, session hijackings, session tampering, cross site scripting and brute force attacks among other vulnerabilities. How can you go about ensuring your web application is truly secure?
Application access
Application access security is implemented by "Roles and Rights Management." For example, a hospital management system should not give a receptionist access to a patient's laboratory tests since their job is only to register patients and schedule appointments. Any menus, forms and screens related to the lab should therefore not be visible. A thorough testing of all roles and rights is thus needed to ensure that every role accesses its own screens, forms and modules.
Data protection
Data encryption is a critical security test. Any data stored in the database like passwords, user accounts and credit card information must always be encrypted. In addition, the flow of critical business information, even within the application must be encrypted to make it safe. When testing for data security, a tester should query the database for business critical and sensitive data to verify that it has been saved in an encrypted format. Of importance are the different "submit" actions and whether any information is being displayed in the address bar of the web browser.
SQL injections
SQL injections are the most prevalent and dangerous attacks on the Internet today. They take advantage of web application vulnerabilities to take control of databases which exposes confidential information. Auditing and remediation of exploitable software vulnerabilities should be an ongoing approach to identify and block any back-end security holes. Recently, Oracle released the Oracle Database Firewall that helps protect against SQL exploits. The firewall provides multiple layers of security making it difficult to penetrate protected databases.
XSS (Cross Site Scripting)
Other ways to ensure web application security includes brute-force attack prevention by account suspension or blocking when login attempts fail and the testing of service access points to ensure that data downloads and uploads have set security restrictions such as virus scanning and file size limits.

January 2014 How To Survive! - Emergency KitsPosted in How To on January 13, 2014
We recently got an email reminder from AAA of Southern California that as drivers, we have a major responsibility to be prepared for anything. As if the Boy Scouts weren't putting enough of that pressure on us already. AAA's thing was about being prepared for breakdowns or roadside emergencies, and among the items on the suggestion list was food, water, blanket, candles, heavy gloves, a copy of the driver's license, umbrella, flashlight with extra batteries, and warning triangles. We used to feel pretty confident when we saw there was half a bottle of water in the cupholder from about a week ago and part of a Snickers bar somewhere in the cabin.
That's our daily driver. And we bet you're the same as us: the trail rig is another story. It's so fully prepped, it nearly looks like the Clampett vehicle—well stocked with similar AAA recommendations, as well as plenty of spare parts. But it got us thinking about pre-made kits and how they'd make life easy on filling our daily driver with essentials—or even redoing our trail rig so that we'd have more space by consolidating. And what we learned is that there's a whole ecosystem out there that goes well beyond the familiar roadside-assistance and first-aid kits.
Apocalypse Kit

Features: There's the Gator machete with fine edge and serrated blades, Camp Axe II, Parang (a modern version of a tribesman's machete, or a true hacker), LMF II knife with a partially serrated blade, Gator Machete Pro, and Epic knife, which has a compact fixed blade.

In wake of Gordon's injury, Aoki makes early DL return
KANSAS CITY -- Nori Aoki is back with the Royals, earlier than expected.
Aoki was recalled from his rehab assignment, reinstated from the disabled list, and put into right field and his former leadoff spot on Friday night against Detroit.View Full Game Coverage
KANSAS CITY -- Nori Aoki is back with the Royals, earlier than expected.
Aoki was recalled from his rehab assignment, reinstated from the disabled list, and put into right field and his former leadoff spot on Friday night against Detroit.View Full Game Coverage
To make room for Aoki on the roster, infielder Christian Colon was optioned to Triple-A Omaha.
Aoki had been out since June 21 with a strained left groin after batting .263 with a .326 on-base percentage in 68 games. He was obtained from Milwaukee during the offseason in a deal that sent pitcher Will Smith to the Brewers.
Aoki was expected to stay with Double-A Northwest Arkansas until at least the All-Star break, but when left fielder Alex Gordon sprained his right wrist, the outfield depth shrank.
Manager Ned Yost had originally insisted that Aoki would be not be recalled right away, but when it became apparent that Gordon's injury would keep him out of the Detroit series, the move seemed appropriate.
"Nori's been feeling good. We were going to try to make it through the All-Star break without him and get him some more at-bats, but with Gordy going down and only three outfielders, it kind of limits what you can do," Yost said.
Because Gordon was not put on the DL, veteran Raul Ibanez started in left field against the Tigers on Thursday night, and he had some problems in the Royals' 16-4 loss, going 0-for-4 and committing an error.
With Aoki back, Yost was able to put Lorenzo Cain back in center field and switch Jarrod Dyson from center to left. He also dropped Cain from the leadoff spot to second in the lineup.
Ibanez, signed to be a part-time player, had started eight of the 10 games -- either in right field or left -- played since he joined the club. He's struggled at the plate, going 3-for-31 with one home run.
"Raul's been going every single day, so we decided to get Nori back up here," Yost said.
Aoki played in three games for Northwest Arkansas and went 1-for-10.
Colon made his Major League debut with the Royals and went 4-for-12 in seven games, including two starts at second base.
Gordon, meantime, is biding his time. His injury will keep him from playing not only against the Tigers but in Tuesday's All-Star Game at Target Field.
"I feel good," Gordon said. "I feel like I could go out there and play, but the trainers are there for a reaso,n and the whole point was not to swing a bat and not re-aggravate it. So as much as I want to go out there and do it, this is what they think is best for the long haul."

More than two dozen officers alleged to have abused fellow female officer cadets in the 1990s are rising through defence ranks, a Senate inquiry has been told.
As a consequence, there are doubts hanging over every male officer who passed through the defence force academy during that period.
Gary Rumble, who led the review of abuse allegations in the Australian Defence Force, said those facing such allegations would not have been allowed to remain in any other workplace.
Because Defence had never taken effective action the only way forward now was a royal commission.
However, both Defence Minister David Johnston and Len Roberts-Smith, who heads the Defence Abuse Response Taskforce, are yet to be convinced.
Mr Roberts-Smith said he was required to make a recommendation to the government but had not yet reached a firm view.
"At the moment ... I have difficulty in seeing what a royal commission could do in this space presently which the taskforce is not doing," he told a hearing of the inquiry in Canberra on Wednesday.
Senator Johnston said there appeared to be a reluctance by many victims to suffer the trauma of telling their story to a royal commission.
"It's clear that they don't want that," he told reporters in Darwin.
Dr Rumble said there was a history of sexual assault and defence mismanagement from the time Australian Defence Force Academy opened in Canberra in 1986, peaking in the 1990s and diminishing but not disappearing entirely following reforms in 1998.
"There is a very high risk that the ADF has in its ranks officers in middle and senior management positions with potential to rise further ... who when they were cadets at ADFA ... raped or committed other serious sexual assaults on other cadets or did not intervene while such rape or other assault was occurring," he told the hearing.
Those allegations refer to the so-called ADFA 24 and relate to 15 rapes and nine sexual assaults allegedly committed by male ADFA cadets against female cadets between 1994 and 1998.
Dr Rumble said there were likely many more cases, leaving a shadow of doubt over fitness to lead of every male officer who went through ADFA between 1986 and 1998.
"The broader issue should be confidence about the fitness of officers to be in sensitive roles, just as it is when national security assessment is the issue," he said.
Mr Roberts-Smith said backers of a royal commission were saying it could hold perpetrators to account by naming names, although for the royal commission into institutional child abuse those named were mostly already convicted or dead.
"People who are alive and may be the subject of potential prosecution are in a different category," he said.
Mr Roberts-Smith faced a grilling from Palmer United Party senator Jacqui Lambie who said she and many others believed a royal commission would help address intractable cultural problems within the defence force.
"The core root of the issues is the toxic leadership that has been going on for many years," the former military police NCO said.
To which Mr Roberts-Smith replied: "That's a speech not a question."

Richard Keith Call (1792-1862) served as Florida's third and fifth territorial governor during the 1830s and 1840s. Born in Virginia and educated in Tennessee, Call served in the Creek War and became and aide and protegee of Andrew Jackson. He later served with Jackson in Florida, and returned to the territory in the early 1820s to assist in the establishment of a new American territorial government.
Call would sit in the state legislative council and as Florida's delegate to Congress. He also was a brigadier general in the state militia and in 1836 became territorial governor. While governor, Call commanded troops in the Second Seminole War. He was dismissed as governor as a result of conflicts with the Van Buren administration, but he was re-appointed governor in 1841. Defeated for governor in 1845, he would not again hold public office.
Call frequently changed his political affiliations, being in turn a Democrat, Whig, Know-Nothing, and Constitutional Unionist. As the country lurched toward Civil War in the late 1850s and early 1860s, he remained an ardent Unionist. Though no supporter of the Republican Party, Call opposed secession in the weeks after Lincoln's election and published a pamphlet entitled An Address to the People of Florida from General R.K. Call in which he labeled disunion "'high treason against our constitutional government.'" Call sent a copy of his pamphlet to Edward Everett, a noted northern orator who had unsuccessfully run as vice-president on the Constitutional Union ticket in the election of 1860. In Everett's reply, reproduced here, he thanked Call for the pamphlet and suggested that the U.S. Congress, in an effort to prevent Civil War, might provide Lieutenant General Winfield Scott with dictatorial powers for six months.
Following Florida's withdrawal from the Union in early January 1861, secessionists taunted Call: "'Well, Governor, . . . we have done it!'"
Call replied prophetically, "'And what have you done? . . . You have opened
the gates of Hell, from which shall flow the curses of the damned which shall
sink you to perdition!'"(1)
(1) Herbery J. Doherty, Jr., Richard Keith Call: Southern Unionist (Gainesville: University of Florida Press, 1961), 158.
31 Decr. 1860
My dear General,
I received a few days Since
your favor of the 12th, with
two copies of the pamphlet
containing your address to the
People of Florida. I have
read it with profound attention
& deep Sympathy. Would to
Heaven, that Your wise &
prudent counsels might have
their just influence with your
fellow Citizens!

MONTREAL - The Canadian government is laying out stricter rules to ensure clean water aboard planes, trains and passenger ships for drinking, hand washing, oral hygiene and food preparation.
It's been sixty years since Ottawa first introduced regulations, and the Public Health Agency of Canada says it's time to bring them up to date.
The existing provisions "no longer reflect the latest industry or scientific standards," according to a notice posted recently in the Canada Gazette, which posts many government decisions.
Health Canada says the cost of the changes to operators are small enough that travellers won't see any effect on ticket prices.
Under the new rules operators would still have the option of either supplying prepackaged water bottles and ice or offering tap water that would be subject to testing.
The notice says if tap water is used, operators would need to "sample and analyse the water for E. coli on a routine basis."
"Disinfecting and flushing the potable water system would be required should the water or the potable water system be contaminated or suspected of contamination," said the notice.
The changes are aimed at reducing the number of illness among travellers in Canada, "which may contribute to reduced health care costs."
The new rules are now open to a general consultation period, and won't come into force until 2015 at the earliest.
They have been in the works for some time.
A 2005 government audit recommended revising the regulations to reflect the latest scientific research.
Most Canadian airlines have already been working with Health Canada to make some of those changes, the notice said.
Stakeholders in the ferry, cruise ship, train and bus industries have also been consulted.
Peter Fitzpatrick, a spokesman for Air Canada, said in an email the airline is prepared to follow the new regulations, explaining that its policy is to "meet or exceed all government requirements and standards, particularly those related to health and safety."
The main costs associated with the changes will be related to additional water sampling and record keeping, the notice said.
The United States introduced tougher rules of its own in 2009.
The regulations include requirement of sampling, routine disinfection and self-inspection of the aircraft water system every five years.
A 2004 study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency found that water on 15 per cent of 327 aircraft tested positive for total coliform, which is often used to indicate the sanitary quality of foods and water.

Convertible Deals: June 2013
We don't blame you if you're interested in spending the summer with the top down in a brand-new convertible. Our list of convertible deals can help get you there. We've rounded up all the latest offers and incentives on some of our favorite convertibles, proving that a new drop top is more affordable than you might think.
BMW 1-Series
The 1-Series is BMW's smallest 4-seater. Although it's also available as a coupe, the best June deals apply to the soft-top 1-Series convertible. For lease shoppers, the top deal is on a 128i. That model can be leased for $379 per month for 36 months after $3,600 down at lease signing. For drivers who prefer the power of a 135i, BMW is offering payments from $449 per month for 36 months after $3,674 due at signing. Qualified shoppers looking to finance can also get a good deal on the 1-Series this month, as it's available with interest rates as low as 3.05 percent.
Chrysler 200 Convertible
The Chrysler 200 Convertible is a midsize, 4-seat convertible based on the brand's 200 sedan. In June, Chrysler is offering three incentives on the 200 Convertible.

Best of all, those deals are available whether shoppers choose a V6 model or a V8-powered Mustang GT.

Although it's rarely discounted, the Wrangler has a good lease offer in June. The best deal is on the 2-door Wrangler Sport. That model starts at $299 per month for 36 months after $2,499 down at lease signing. For shoppers who would prefer the larger Wrangler Unlimited, that model is available with the same money down and lease payments starting from $329 per month.
Mercedes SLK
The recently redesigned 2-seat SLK is Mercedes' smallest convertible. In June, it's available with two strong lease offers. The first applies to the SLK250, which offers a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. Through the end of the month, that model is available with payments from $499 for 36 months after $4,459 at lease signing. For drivers who prefer the muscular V6-powered SLK350, Mercedes offers that model with payments from $619 per month after $4,739 down at lease signing. Unfortunately for finance shoppers, Mercedes isn't offering any low-interest deals on the SLK this month.
What it means to you: Several great convertible deals are out there for shoppers looking to enjoy the summer with the top down.

5 Queer Films Better Than 'Call Me By Your Name' (& Where to Stream Them)
It isn't surprising that so many in the community are swooning over "Call Me by Your Name" - here is a movie adaptation of a popular novel that more than delivers with fine craftsmanship, lush visuals and seductive chemistry between its two lead, Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer. Many are calling it the best movie of the year. It already cleaned up with awards from critics groups and is likely to get several Oscar nominations later this month. On top of that, the film has also done very nicely at the box office in limited release, making it the most successful LGBTQ film released in some time.
But what of other films that explore queer romance? I can count at least ten films that do a better job at delving into the love lives of LGBTQ people than "Call Me By Your Name." (Sorry, can't call myself a big fan of the film.) Below are five personal favs available for streaming that you may have missed or may want to watch again that fill that fill that need to swoon.
James Wilby and Hugh Grant in "Maurice.
Maurice (1987)
Buoyed by their success with "A Room With a View," the producing team of James Ivory and Ismail Merchant followed up with another adaptation of an E.M. Forster novel, this time the deeply personal work that wasn't published until after his death. The closeted Forster suppressed "Maurice," first written in 1913, and it was not published until 1971, due to its subject - a gay love story set in Edwardian England that dared to have a happy ending. Ivory's lush film version features James Wilby as the titular character, a member of the aristocracy dealing with his attraction for a college chum (played by Hugh Grant) and a working class youth (Rupert Graves) amidst the virulent homophobia of England in the years following the Oscar Wilde scandal. It is not surprising that Ivory's film brings to mind "Call Me by Your Name" - the 90-year old Ivory did the adaptation of André Aciman's novel and is a front-runner to win his first Oscar for his adaptation.

John Paul Pitoc in "Trick."
Trick (1999)
This delightful comedy, directed by Jim Falls, takes a story line that would have been right at home in a Doris Day comedy from the 1960s, updating it to New York at the end of the last century. Innocent Gabriel (Christian Campbell), an aspiring Broadway composer, meets hottie Mark (John Paul Pitoc), a more experienced go-go boy, at a club. They attempt to hook up, but are thwarted at every attempt by self-involved friends, selfish roommates, angry ex-tricks (the furious and terrifying Coco Peru) and just some bad luck. What made "Trick," which also stars Tori Spelling, so special was that it was one of the first LGBTQ romances that gleefully looked at gay romance in the shadow of HIV.

Tom Cullen and Chris New in "Weekend."
Weekend (2011)
Andrew Haigh turned heads with his intimate film about two men whose lives changed forever after they hook up one night. Boyish Russell (Tom Cullen) meets the more-worldly Glen (Chris New) on a Friday night in a provincial British gay club. Over the next 48 hours the pair hang out, take drugs and have sex, gradually realizing there is much more to their relationship than initially thought. Haigh was said to have made the film as a reaction to most LGBTQ film he had seen; movies that never represented his experiences as a gay man. ("I haven't got muscles and I don't live in West Hollywood," he told the New York Times in an interview.) And the quiet authenticity he brings to the film, which he also wrote, makes it an evocative romance. ""Weekend,' which is about the risks and pleasures of opening up emotionally in the presence of another, remains true to the unsettled, open-ended nature of the experience it documents. And for exactly this reason - because Mr. Haigh avoids the easy payoff of either a happy or a tragic ending - it is one of the most satisfying love stories you are likely to see on screen this year," wrote A.O. Scott in reviewing the film in the New York Times.
Where to stream: Available on FilmStruck and for rental/purchase on iTunes, Amazon and YouTube.
Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara in "Carol."
Carol (2015)
Todd Haynes' 2015 film "Carol" was picked in a poll by the magazine Sight and Sound as the best LGBTQ film ever made. There is certainly a case to be made for that citation. Adapted from a pulpy 1952 novel by mystery writer Patricia Highsmith ("Strangers on a Train"), the film follows the romance a middle-aged suburbanite named Carol (Cate Blanchett), and a younger artist (Rooney Mara). Haynes and his screenwriter Phyllis Nagy skillfully texture the evolving love affair between these women with a commentary on gay oppression during the early years of the Eisenhower administration. A rich, resonant film buoyed by superb performances by Blanchett and Mara.
Where to stream: Available to watch on Netflix, Showtime Anytime and DirectTV. Available for rental/purchase on iTunes and Amazon.
Geoffrey Couët and François Nambot in "Paris 05:59: Théo and Hugo."
Paris 05:59: Théo and Hugo (2016)
Those who may be disappointed with the antiseptic sex scenes from "Call Me by Your Name" need only to look at this French drama by the team of Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau. They begin their film (told in real-time) in a Paris sex club where its titular characters meet in an orgy. That expressionistic sequence (naked men bathed in red neon) gives way to gritty reality when Hugo (François Nambot) tells Théo (Geoffrey Couët) that they had unsafe sex. Théo, it turns out, is HIV-positive, which sends the couple to a hospital emergency room for prophylactic therapy. Despite Hugo's initial anger, the pair stick together and spend the duration of the film wandering the dreamy, gold-lit streets of Paris (beautifully photographed by cinematographer Manuel Marmier) getting to know each other in this modern romantic fairy tale that begins in sexual fury and ends with tender kisses.
Where to stream: Available to stream on Hulu. Available for purchase on Amazon.

Love them or hate them, every year Blendtec tests out its latest power blender against the latest tech toys. Normally we don't have to wait very long for the latest iPhone to get the treatment; last year it was on launch day and the blending managed to upset quite a few folks who couldn't get their hands on one for whatever reason. This year we have had to wait a few weeks since launch and it's done a bit differently to normal. Blendtec has pitted the iPhone 5 against the Samsung Galaxy S3.
It's time for Tom to get a new phone. So which one should he get? The new iPhone 5, or the Samsung Galaxy S3? You know how he will decide. Which blends best.
As you would expect, both phones end up as a pile of dust; such a waste of expensive electronics. Having said that, it is a great marketing initiative by Blendtec, at the time of writing, the video has already received over 106,000 views and was only released yesterday. Not a bad way to create interest in your blenders for just the cost of a couple of phones.

The Cyberpolitics Of Cyberbellicosity Cyberpushing Cybersecurity To Cyberprevent Cyberwar
from the cyber-cyber-cyber dept
First off, there's the fact that, for all the vague talks of "threats," the only real evidence of "cyberattacks" to date all seem to point to the US. So, if we're worried about attacks directed back at us, perhaps we shouldn't have kicked off the effort by showing the rest of the world how it's done. And, no, Senator Feinstein, the problem isn't the leak, but the action. As Harper points out:
The likelihood of attacks having extraordinary consequences is low. This talk of "cyberwar" and "cyberterror" is the ugly poetry of budget-building in Washington, D.C. But watch out for U.S. cyberbellicosity coming home to roost. The threat environment is developing in response to U.S. aggression.Of course, the "urgency" that we keep hearing about is almost certainly political. Should some attack actually happen, no politician wants to give his or her opponents the opportunity to point to their failure to pass "do something!" cybersecurity legislation during a campaign. As Harper points out, the real fear from politicians isn't a cyberattack, it's a political attack:
This parallels the United States' use of nuclear weapons, which made "the bomb" (Dmitri) an essential tool of world power. Rightly or wrongly, the United States' use of the bomb spurred the nuclear arms race and triggered nuclear proliferation challenges that continue today. (To repeat: Cyberattacks can have nothing like the consequence of nuclear weapons.)
Senator Reid has gone hook, line, and sinker for the "cyber-9/11″ idea, of course. Like all politicians, his primary job is not to set appropriate cybersecurity policies but to re-elect himself and members of his party. The tiniest risk of a cyberattack making headlines to use against his party justifies expending taxpayer dollars, privacy, and digital liberties. This it not to prevent "cyber" attack. It is to prevent political attack.He then goes on to highlight a bunch of former government officials who sent a letter to Senate leaders urging them to pass cybersecurity legislation "as soon as possible" since it's "critically necessary to protect our national and economic security." Of course, what the signatories of that letter really mean is that they want to protect their own "economic security." Every one of them has moved to the private sector and is in a position to profit greatly from a freakout over cybersecurity...
And yes, in answer to the URL I mentioned at the beginning, using cyber does, in fact, make you look like an idiot in most cases. But for the amount of profit and spying power at stake? It doesn't seem like many in DC care that much.

Looks really interesting and I will definitely be checking it out.
A few weeks ago I thought I would be watching barely anything, not suddenly there are all these shows I want to try out (will need to learn some good time management).

I am not too fond of what A-1 Pictures does with their characters' designs. Hated SAO's too. At least the animation is wonderful.

HunterXHunter is still ongoing well into the fall! It might be among the better side, from the looks of it, but it's too early to call it the best when there are strong competitors in the run as well.
Mind you, I won't mind it much if they decided to expand on the novel and add a lot of new content that makes it fit into 24-26 episodes, since I think there is more to the premise and the world here that could be explored. But still, I'd rather they keep it short and do it well.

Well, personally I prefer to err on the side of caution far as adaptation length goes. Everyone told me I was crazy last year for thinking that two cours wouldn't be enough to properly adapt the Persona 4 storyline, but hey, I was right, we got a rushed story with comparatively small emotional impact. One cour might be good enough, but two cours would definitely be good enough (to both cover the entire storyline and pace things well instead of breezing through through the high points ala a SparkNotes-style checklist, which a 12 episode show might or might not do); and I personally rather like when anime adaptations include some original material. I would also like to be able to spend a decent amount of time in each time period, since the lengthy scope of the show is a big appeal to me and would love to have each time period be of a cozy length (which to me means a not-brief length).
Of course, I seem to be more lenient than many people here when it comes to judging what's padding, and what's actually not a waste of time. There's such a thing as meandering around too much, but to a fair extent I think it's nice to have some episodes stop and smell the roses rather than have the narrative moving forward to the climax at all times, refusing to include anything that isn't absolutely necessary. I think that every episode of a series should contribute something, but that something doesn't have to be the main plot; focusing on a single character, a relationship, or pretty much any given component of the series works for me.
(That was all more of a random tangent than anything, I know you didn't really say anything opposite from what I wrote)

So, it's not that I'm disagreeing with you on any of that, but in this case, I feel like having it go for longer than one cour might not be end up stretching it too thin. I usually slightly value show which are more compounded and written in a tighter fashion, because I think they get to the point they are in direct and stronger manner, and they don't waffle around too much. That's not always the case just going by some of the shows I've listed and I enjoyed greatly in the past, but there have been times were I felt like many shows could have been better had they cut down on parts and tried to not do too much. Less is more in those cases. I don't get the impression here that there will be much waffling, if anything like you mentioned it might be better to get to know about each time period better and get to see how ddo these kids change as they age and grow, but as a rule of thumb I prefer if they kept it short and precise.
Of course, like I said, I haven't read the book, and I'm simply going by how it's a 1000 page novel, so I don't know if in those 1000 pages there is material to cover 3 cours or just enough for 1. I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong if the show ends up being 2 cours and they decided to expand and explore more on the novel here, and if it all ends up being a great watch then that's all the better for me.

And hey, I never said anything about it being out of bounds or you shouldn't be looking ahead, just that this season's line up has a few promising series' coming up so it's going hard to figure out which is going to be the best (I suspect there are going to be a lot ties early on).

I mean, the impression I got about the novel and the anime is that the way they'll be approaching the subject is by showing how children develop sexual behavior and orientation as they grow in a post apocalyptic environment devoid of the social rules and values of the modern world. The posters on this thread gave me the impression that the manga is mainly turning that into a fetish with it getting into explicit sex scenes.

The anime has a much less erotic and more stylized art-style so I'm sure the tone and execution of the sex will be completely different.

25 episodes confirmed. 9 DVD/BD volumes - 1 ep in vol1, 3 eps in vol2-9.
They'll probably cover each book in 8-9 episodes, which seems more than enough.

Vikram Seth's blockbuster "A Suitable Boy" has 20th anniversary
The international bestseller, "A Suitable Boy" by Vikram Seth, celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2013. I've just re-read it, and it's just as good as I remembered. One of the longest novels ever published in one volume — at 1,474 pages in paperback — it's an epic tale set in India a few years after Independence, with lyrical writing and vibrant characters.
Despite its massive length, it's got an enormous and dedicated fan club. I'm not the only person to love it so much that I read it again — some fans read it twice when it first came out in 1993, and re-read it again recently. I just re-read it along with my friend Marjorie, who texted me: "I'm coming into the home stretch now (last 350 pages) and slowing down because I don't want it to end." Then, when she finished: "Now whatever I read for awhile will pale in comparison."
A Suitable Boy starts with a mother who is trying to find a suitable husband for her daughter, Lata, kicking off with this simple sentence: "You too will marry a boy I choose," said Mrs. Rupa Mehra firmly to her younger daughter.

Challenge ho!
Yeah, I figured I'd start with a random, crazy comment. You know... In keeping with Ionia's style.
I'm ill. Don't judge me! RAR!
Draw Ionia as she is, or even humanized, or as an animal, or any damn way you want. Keep her main features intact. Obviously we want to be able to see that it's still her.
I'm curious about how you guys will draw the crazy SOB. :P
About Ionia
She is a female robot who is part of the human protection squad known as Hellas. She has a robot cat companion called Melty who doubles up as a gun, as Ionia is very defenseless without it.
Her main abilities are her water tanks which can hold a large amount of water. She can use her onboard condensers to create clouds, mist, rain and even use her gyros in water to produce whirlpools, waves and adjust currents temporarily.
When she gets nervous, her condensers have a habit of poofing out clouds of mist which causes her much embarrassment.
Personality-wise, she is very friendly, but is also very dense. She is clumsy and awkward, but has a 'heart' of gold.
She enjoys hanging around with humans and loves dancing and singing traditional Greek songs with them.
She can't, however, get angry. This is due to her personality being cut down the middle (So-to-speak) when Aetna was removed from her and placed in her own body. When she SHOULD get angry, her processor fritzes.
- Keep to site standards
- Can be coloured or uncoloured
- Keep true to the original design but have fun mixing it up
- Remember her personality (IE: Pics of her being OOC will be disqualified.)
- Enter as many times as you want
- Can't draw robots? Draw her in another way then!
- Remember - Ionia is and always will be copyrighted to moi

Restaurant General Managers
Pride in our Work – Served Fresh Daily
Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment? Are you always looking for something new to learn? If yes, you'll fit right in.
At Paradigm, our employees are trained on all aspects of each position that it takes to serve our guests with what we title as $6 Service, to prepare our best in class products, and to maintain our facilities to guest ready standards. Our employees take pride in doing their jobs well and exceeding our customers' expectations. Plus, there's something really awesome about the buzz our commercials create and knowing you're a part of the company who makes them.
A General Manager is responsible for directing the daily operations of the restaurant. The General Manager ensures all employees are performing their job responsibilities. The General Manager develops and executes the business plan for a million+ dollar restaurant.
Management teams who open our new restaurants are given an extra incentive for the first two years of operation. We double the above bonus for the restaurant management team, that is for the GM, RM and SL's. When a restaurant is converted to a Hardee's/Red Burrito we increase the $19000 bonus potential by 15%($2850) which takes this to $21,850!
We also have a bonus system in place for any GM who internally develops a new GM, we pay matching bonus from that new GM's earned bonus from the restaurant the new GM takes over for the first year. That means a GM can bonus off of their own restaurant and receive the same $$ that their GM they mentored earns at their own restaurant. If you are a great developer of people this bonus is for you. There is no limit on the number of GM's you can develop except for the number of restaurants we have. We believe in internal development and have put this bonus incentive together to reward those that know how to attract, train, retain and develop our leaders of tomorrow.
Our Multi Unit Managers oversee on average 6 restaurants. The District Managers(MUM) receive 30% of whatever their standard restaurants earn in bonus. 6 Standard Restaurants X $19000 = $114,000 X 30% = $34,200 bonus potential. On top of this we have a quarterly top DM bonus of $2500. Add to this any new restaurant, or Red Burrito conversion increase in their teams potential bonus and the DM receives 30% of these increased bonus dollars as well. The DM would receive 30% also of the mentoring program described above.
We believe it takes extra work to develop people, open new restaurants and or convert a standard Hardee's restaurant to a Hardee's/Red Burrito operation and we have put the incentives together to reward a job well done. We have other incentives that are too many to list but we know you will be more than satisfied with our reward system. If you are a manager focused on success and have been looking for a company that will reward your excellence, Paradigm Investment Group, LLC is right for you.

Andrew Weiser picked up his seventh victory of the summer Thursday night to lead the Dodge City Rangers to a 3-0 victory over the Pratt 86ers in American Legion action.
The Rangers completed the sweep with a 10-2 victory in six innings in the nightcap.
Weiser gave up four hits and three walks while striking out eight to record the seven-inning complete game victory.
"He's been on his game this entire summer," said Rangers head coach Chris Chilton. "With him on the mound, no matter how are bats are swinging, we have a chance to win. He's been throwing strikes and inducing groundouts and double-play balls to get us out of trouble."
Dodge City (25-5) scored single runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth.
Andrew Balderaz crossed the plate the first run when he singled, stole second and later scored on a throwing error on a ball hit by Gideon Wells.
Balderaz hit a RBI sacrifice fly in the fifth and Drew Chance hit another in the sixth to complete the scoring.
Dodge City scored a run in the top of the first on a RBI single by Wells, with Pratt scoring a run in the third inning.
The Rangers added four runs in the top of the fifth on RBI singles by Jordan Doan, Grant Meininger and Collin Gifford and Balderaz scored on an error.
Dodge City scored five more runs in the sixth. After loading the bases, Doan was hit by a pitch to bring in a run, Wells induced a bases-loaded walk, Meininger had another RBI single, Balderaz scored on a wild pitch and the final run came due to an error on a ball hit by Gifford.
Juan Carlos Vallejo was the winning pitcher for the Rangers. He gave up two runs (one earned), four hits and three walks while striking out four to earn the decision on the mound.
Dodge City's next games are Monday in a home doubleheader against Hays Thomas More Prep.

The colour of a lamp is defined as a measurement called kelvins. A standard GLS light bulb in your house would be 2,700 kelvins which is in the warm colour spectrum and a lamp with 6,000 kelvins would be at the very cold white spectrum. Getting the right colour temperature of a lamp does matter as the warm coulour wavelength helps to soften skin tones and gives a warm soft relaxed feel and at the other end of the scale a 4,000 to 6,000 kelvin lamp colour would be used in offices or a fast food restaurants to make you feel less comfortable and relaxed and more alert. There's nothing that can sour your opinion of a compact fluorescent or LED lamp like buying a 4000K or 5000K bulb when you meant to buy a 2700K bulb, or vice-versa. When you buy a new, energy efficient bulb, keep your application and color scheme in mind and make sure to buy the bulb with a color temperature to match.
The amount of light that is produced by a lamp is called lumens and the more lumens
the lamp has the brighter it will be. Lumens work in conjunction with kelvins and
watts should not be taken in isolation of each other, for example if you had a very
warm white lamp at 2,700 kelvins and it produced 300 lumens and you then had another
lamp which was a cool white 6,000 kelvins which also produced 300 lumens the cooler
lamp colour would always appear brighter to the naked eye than the warmer one this
is due to the receptors in the eye that react better to a white light spectrum. Another
factor on how bright a light may appear is contrast so if you shine a white 6,000
kelvin light on to a dark wall and a warm 2,700 kelvin lamp on to a white wall the
warmer lamp would appear brighter due to the contrast of the material it is focused
on. So when choosing a lamp always take in to account the area you want to illuminate
and think about Kelvins ( colour ), Lumens ( brightness) and contrast
( colour of area ) The more lumens produced per watt the more energy efficient
the lamp will be, for example you can have a 25w candle lamp that produces 170 lumens
or a more energy efficient 18w candle lamp that produces 180 lumens so even though
the wattage is smaller the lumens are greater which makes it use less electricity.
That's what makes LED lights so energy effective as they can produce 700 lumens from
a 5w lamp.
Light levels are measured in something called LUX. Put simply LUX is a measurement of light falling on a given surface area. For example an average LUX of 200 would be needed for an outdoor tennis court for recreational purposes and a side street walkway would have an average of 5 LUX. To calculate lux levels you need a very good calculator or computer as there is a number of factors that need to be taken in to account.Lux levels can be effected by a beam angle of a lamp, for example if you had a 50w 38 degree MR16 halogen lamp at 3 mtrs from the floor and another 50w 10 degree MR16 lamp placed next to it, the one with the 10 degree beam angle would record a higher lux level due to the concentrated light in a small area so you could drop the 50w lamp to a 35w lamp to save energy and still achieve the desired light level.

WESTCHESTER, Fla. - One man has been arrested after nine high school students were transported to two area hospitals Thursday after eating brownies containing an unknown substance, according to the Miami-Dade School Board.
The incident happened at Miami Coral Park Senior High School, located at 8865 SW 16th Street, about 11 a.m.
"There was a girl just on the floor and she was awake but on the floor," said Stephanie Acosta.
"People just on the floor, fainting, and then a lot of people thought there was more and then everyone found out there were a lot of classes happening," said Walter Viera.
According to the district, one of the students named at least 10 others who shared in brownies off campus before schools.
The district said 22-year-old Dionisio Lockridge, not a student of the school, was arrested Thursday. A large amount of marijuana was found inside his home, along with cocaine, said officials.
A school official said the brownies were recovered and submitted to the Miami-Dade crime lab for testing.
School officials called a "Code Yellow," locking down classrooms until students went to lunch.
The students were taken to Kendall Regional Medical Center and Miami Children's Hospital as a precaution. A tenth student was treated but not transported.
Their parents were notified. Several parents at the school said the brownies were filled with drugs.
"We don't know if it's true or not," said Juan Riobo, a father. "We want to get our kids and they don't let us get our kids."
"They were like, 'I'm going to pick you up just in case,'" said Lorena Lopez. "Whoever did it is going to feel very bad because they caused total mayhem in school."
"Miami-Dade Schools Police are investigating the matter to identify the substance that the students ingested as well as the source of the substance," read a statement from district school spokesman John Schuster.
Lockridge was arrested for the drugs found inside his home and transported to DCJ. Officials said he has multiple charges, including possession of marijuana with intent to sell, possession of marijuana, possession of cocaine and possession of a controlled substance (Xanax).
Schuster said more arrests may be expected as the investigation continues, and any further charges are awaiting the lab results.

What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Identity Thief is full of (comic) mayhem, with cars crunching into each other (sometimes on purpose) and characters shooting at each other, stealing from each other, and generally creating as much chaos as possible. The premise centers around a thief (Melissa McCarthy) who steals someone else's identity; he (Jason Bateman) then proceeds to try to get her to clear his name. In the process, they get embroiled in tons of hijinks, some of which are sexual in nature (though not with each other); there's simulated sex, but no nudity. Expect lots of innuendoes and plenty of swearing (including "f--k" and "s--t"), plus some racist jokes, drinking (wine, hard liquor), and product placement.

The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) Federal Transportation Legislation eliminated the dedicated funding for the Safe Routes to School Program (SRTS). The work that was eligible under the former SRTS program is now included in the new Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP). The Texas Transportation Committee proposed for adoption of the administrative rules for the TAP on June 26, 2014. The proposed rules are out for public comment. It is anticipated that the final rules will be presented to the Texas Transportation Commission for approval later this year.
As outlined in MAP-21, each Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) serving an urbanized area with a population over 200,000 will implement the TAP for the award of funds in that area. You may contact the MPO in your area to acquire information on the implementation of their TAP funds.
The Safe Routes to School National Center is still operating and has many resources available to help communities implement an SRTS program.

tallann needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 78 designs submitted by 20 freelance designers.
Tallann Resources
Tallann Resources is a brand new consulting company that focuses on the temporary staffing and perm recruiting industry. I am a 20 year industry veteran that is looking to leverage my expertise to help staffing and recruiting companies be more competitive and profitable. The word Tallann means "talent" in Gaelic, which is a reflection of my Irish heritage. In addition to consulting, other services will include workshops and seminars.
My target audience is owners and executives of temporary and perm staffing companies, staffing and HR industry associations, and HR executives in the United States. There are thousands of staffing companies in the US, and most of them are small business owners.
The company image I want to create is one of an experienced professional, but also that shows my creative and fun side. I'm looking for professional and high-end without looking stuffy.
I would like to incorporate subtle gaelic/irish elements in the logo as far as the color, font, etc. This logo will be used for my website, business card, stationery, and brochures. It shouldn't be over the top Irish, but when I tell someone what Tallann means they should see the connection. I imagine the logo will include shades of green, but I'm open to others if you want to experiment.
I'm excited to work with the designers on this site - I've been very impressed with what I've seen in other projects!

- In a dutch oven, melt butter. Add flour and stir until smooth.
- Slowly add milk, stirring constantly over medium heat until bubbling and thick.
- Add cheese and stir until melted.
- Add ham and vegetables with liquid they were cooked in.
- Heat through, be careful not to boil as soup may scorch or separate.

Terri's Notes
~ A 'loaded baked potato' in a soup!
~ You can easily use chicken or vegetable broth in place of water.
~ I've lighten it up by using only 8 oz. of cheese in the soup.
~ For a quick one pot version, start vegetables in dutch oven. When they are tender, add butter. Mix flour in COLD milk to get out the lumps before adding to the pot! Once it's bubbly and thickened, add cheese, ham and season.

Mary Ellen O'Connell is a fierce critic of America's drone program, which she says is illegal outside war zones. Among legal scholars, O'Connell is in the minority, but her views are gaining momentum.
Researchers at New York University and Stanford University issued a report last month that claimed many U.S. drone strikes appear to be unlawful because they don't meet the strict legal standard for killing outside of a war zone, which must be to stop an imminent threat to life when no other means is available.
While some drone strikes may be categorized as war crimes, O'Connell and her supporters agree that the war in Afghanistan is lawful because terrorists who attacked America on September 11, 2001 found refuge there. However, O'Connell maintains drone killings in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia violate laws of war intended to protect non-combatants.
Who should be responsible for monitoring and sanctioning international drone strike activity? Where should the U.S. draw the line when it comes to killing outside of a war zone?

A two-door, front-wheel drive coupe, the Hyundai Scoupe made its debut to the U.S. market in 1991. Based on the Hyundai Excel sedan, the economical and compact Scoupe enjoyed a four-year run of production before being discontinued. In 1993, midway through the car's production run, Hyundai made several notable changes to the Scoupe. The car's unique name, which was pronounced ""scoop,"" was intended to be a combination of the words ""sporty"" and ""coupe."" Hyundai eventually fazed the Scoupe out in 1995, replacing it with the Hyundai Tiburon.
The two-door Hyundai Scoupe was produced during an era when Hyundai was considered a somewhat down-market brand, known for producing vehicles that while affordable were regarded as less than reliable. However, consumer reviews indicate that the Scoupe was fairly reliable. The Korean-manufactured coupe was a sub-compact car that offered drivers several choices in regard to transmission and trim level. The Scoupe was also notable in that it featured a suspension that was tuned by Lotus of England. The Scoupe ostensibly offered seating for four. However, space in the rear seating area was extremely limited and the car's compact stature made entering and exiting it something of a challenge even for average-sized individuals. Engine options consisted of either a 1.5-liter four-cylinder rated at 81 horsepower or a more muscular 1.5-liter four-cylinder that had an output of 115 horsepower.
In addition to its small engine and compact size, the Scoupe was also fairly lightweight. In its day, the Scoupe offered drivers reasonably good performance and an entry-level price. While all versions of the Scoupe were fairly maneuverable, the turbo version of the Scoupe offered reasonably good acceleration. The GT version of the Scoupe notably represented Hyundai's first foray into the sports car market. The Hyundai Scoupe famously made an appearance on the BBC-produced automotive television show ""Top Gear"" when the hosts were presented with the challenge of locating the ideal car for a 17-year-old driver.
1995 was the last year the Hyundai Scoupe was produced. Final Scoupe models were available with either a four-speed automatic transmission or a five-speed manual transmission. Both transmission options were equipped with overdrive. The Scoupe was also equipped with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that was rated at 115 horsepower.
The 1995 Hyundai Scoupe was available in three different trim levels: the base two-door coupe, the LS two-door coupe, or the turbo two-door coupe. Beneath its sporty-looking notchback coupe body, the 1995 Scoupe featured the same front-wheel drive platform as the Hyundai Excel sedan from which it was derived. However, the Scoupe did feature its own unique lightweight exterior sheet metal.
Other features and options for the 1995 Hyundai Scoupe included air-conditioning, power steering, steel wheels, and a stereo system with AM/FM radio. There was also the option to add a cassette player.
One of the main advantages of buying a used Hyundai Scoupe on the used car market is the model's affordability. While reviews of the car remain mixed to this day, the Scoupe is undeniably an affordable used car option that offers excellent fuel economy along with reasonably good performance.
First year models of the Hyundai Scoupe were powered by the same 81-hp 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that was found in the Hyundai Excel. However, in 1993 Hyundai introduced the more powerful 115-hp version of the engine. That same year Hyundai made a number of other notable improvements to the Scoupe. Among other things, models from 1993 onwards were outfitted with the same ""H"" logo that appears on Hyundai models manufactured today.
Models from 1993 through 1995 also included features such as new flush headlights along with body colored side moldings, redesigned front sheet metal, new taillights, and redesigned rear bumpers. Turbo models from the final two years of the Scoupe's production run are all equipped with five-speed manual transmissions. However, base and LS models also offered drivers the option of a four-speed automatic transmission.
Good fuel economy was a constant during the Scoupe's run of production. Base models equipped with manual transmissions produced between 1991 and 1992 achieved 26/34 mpg city/highway. Those from the same era equipped with automatic transmissions were capable of achieving 25/32 mpg city/highway.
Despite its surprisingly good performance and the fact that it earned decent marks for fuel efficiency across all the years it was manufactured, the Scoupe was also known to be noisy and lacking in rear seat room. And while acceleration on the turbo edition was good, base, and LS models lacked pickup for the most part.

Coupe, Sports
The 1995 Hyundai Scoupe is a two-door coupe that is based on the Excel, and its name is a combination of the words sporty and coupe.

here is my setup for my media server (before i moved)
I have a server that hosts my move and music collection. they are all in a folder on a 1TB drive. (you can pick one up for a hundred bucks now. the server is wired to my router and is running Winamp remote and registered it with Logmein.com for easy desktop administration. Now, on my PS3, i can see the Orb (winamps service, all free) and listen and watch my entire collection. it can be accessed anywhere on the internet my going to Orb.com, and I can log in and listen or watch movies at work, friends house, etc. if there is something wrong, i can log onto the desktop (again, from anywhere on the internet) and see my desktop. I mainly use this for when i want to start a download while im at work, and when i come home, it will be ready for me. i was playing around with making it a web server as well and installing a web application that will allow my friends to register and logon the the server and stream my media too.

I often use the phrase "Life is good" when describing life in Bluffton. I am so proud of what is taking place in our town and I feel that Bluffton is at the tipping point of tremendous success.
The town is taking steps to move forward on economic development, with the creation of our Bluffton Development Corporation as well as the creation of the Don Ryan Center for Innovation. Staff has worked relentlessly on the May River Watershed Action Plan, our Unified Development Ordinance, and CIP projects just to name a few. Real estate sales are continuing to rise and businesses are looking at relocating or opening in Bluffton. Our county and state road projects are moving forward and Bluffton High School continues to see positive results in test scores, its graduation rate and more students going on to college.
This past week I was asked to attend the festivities surrounding college signing day and I will tell you it was a "Life is good" kind of day. Bluffton High had a record number of football players decide where they will attend college, and this is just the beginning.
I expect more student athletes in all of our sports decide to play their sport in college, in the upcoming months. Nine young men were given the opportunity to not only continue their passion in football, but more importantly to further their education - an education that may have been difficult to get without the hard work that these athletes put in the classroom and on the football field.
The support that our community has given to Bluffton High School is unbelievable and our students recognize and appreciate it. For those of you who have never taken the time to visit any of our schools in Bluffton, I would encourage you to do so. Like I said earlier, life is good.
Recycling challenge
We are coming to the end of our recycling challenge with Waste Management and Johnson & Johnson. The results should be coming in very shortly, and the representative from Waste Management will be at our next council meeting to update everyone.
I want to thank all of the citizens from the town of Bluffton and Sun City who participated in this and my hopes are we all learned how important it is to recycle.
If you ever have questions about our wonderful town, don't hesitate to contact Town Hall at 706-4500 or email Lisa Sulka at firstname.lastname@example.com.
