Wynn avait besoin d'un nouveau design de logo et a lancé un concours sur 99designs.
Un gagnant a été sélectionné de 75 designs proposés par 25 designers freelance.
The Little Apron.com
We are a division of The Perfect Apron - which is a network of retailer sites dedicated to becoming the main provider of all types of aprons to buyers around the world. We are ecstatic to launch The Little Apron - a website that is going to focus on offering the most adorable, precious little aprons to the world! The site also ultimately will potentially sell cooking books for kids and other chefwear/apparel for kids. We are looking for fun and youthful, but elegant and classic. Think Polo meets Osk Kosh meets Sur La Table.
We are targeting anyone who is in the market to purchase a children's gift. This could be mothers & fathers, grandmothers & grandfathers, aunts & uncles, etc. But we think that most likely the target demographic will be mothers - who are excited to get their little one a fun apron and to share culinary stuff. But we really must make a logo/brand that feels friendly/comfortable to wide range of demographic - man & woman, young and old alike. Fathers should feel comfortable to come to the site and order as well. So logo shouldn't be overly feminine or anything - it should appear to both sexes.
Winning design must incorporate one or more apron icons in the logo.
The font must be unique and the font must meld with the iconic imagery created/found to represent the apron. Best logo will meld text with the icon in a creative, simple, powerful way.
Logo must be able to stand with or without the ".com"
To give you some inspiration, the children's aprons we will be selling will include both vibrant solid colors, and also fancy fun colorful patterned options - see the following URLs to give you an idea for how vibrant some aprons are...
Note we also will be carrying plain colors (red, green, blue, white, black, pink) of soft, nicely weighted kids' aprons as well. They are not all so multi-patterned.
Logo should probably be 2-3 colors - we are not particular about colors at the moment - you can pick whatever you think conveys youth, fun, cooking, aprons, bliss.
Again, think Polo meets Osk Kosh meets Sur La Table (http://www.surlatable.com/)
Good luck.

Would you know what to do if someone you know needed Mental Health First Aid?
Would you know what to do if someone you know needed Mental Health First Aid? According to a release from Dodge City's Area Mental Health Center (AMH), you are more likely to encounter someone — a friend, family member, coworker, neighbor — in an emotional or mental crisis than someone having a heart attack. In fact, studies show mental disorders are more common than heart disease and cancer combined. In an effort to help people recognize the signs and symptoms exhibited during a crisis, Dodge City's AMH Center is offering a 12-hour course on Mental Health First Aid. The focus of the course will be on a five-step action plan to offer initial help to people with the signs and symptoms of a mental illness or who are in a crisis, and connect them with the appropriate professional, peer, social, or self-help care. The course will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. Jan. 7, 14 and 21 at the Area Mental Health Community Services building in Dodge City. Enrollment is open to the public and AMH is encouraging everyone from teachers to leaders of faith communities to attend. According to Regional Director for AMH Vicki Broz, the class is limited to 30 people. During the course, participants will learn the potential risk factors and warning signs for a range of mental health problems including depression, anxiety/trauma, psychosis, eating disorders, substance use disorders, and self-injury. There will also be a segment on understanding of the prevalence of various mental health disorders in the U.S. and the need for reduced stigma in local communities. According to Regional Director for AMH Vicki Broz, this year marks the first time a mental health first aid course has been offered for the community. "In the past, we have offered the training only in-house to our staff," Broz said. She said the professionals at AMH use the training everyday through their contact with clients as well as their own team. Broz gave the example of knowing how to approach and recognize signs a withdrawing co-worker may be exhibiting. "The training teaches you how to ask the right questions and talk openly about a situation versus just turning your head and not addressing a possible issue," she said. Registration forms are available at the Area Mental Health Center located at 2101 Highway 50 Bypass, Dodge City. For more information or to register by E-mail, contact Broz at firstname.lastname@example.com or (620) 227-8566. A fee of $15 per attendee will cover the cost of a book that accompanies the course.

Pup DOW
Hi guys! It's pup time. As promised, I am sharing with you the Pup days of the week patterns. You may recall that they were #2 on your list of requests, after creepy lambs.
This pup is everything I want in a dog - charming, fluffy, resourceful, and helpful. He mends, he dusts, he shops, he does the wash, he even does the ironing! I especially love the gingham-looking lettering for the days of the week - hey if resourceful fluffy pups aren't your thing, you can still stitch the lettering.
As always, let me know if you've stitched this pup, have memories of this pup, or anything noteworthy or totally trivial to share. Enjoy the pups! :)

Creepy Lamb DOW
Ask, and you shall receive... weirdness! The clear winner in the poll for the DOW pattern you wanted to see next was - creepy lambs!
Okay, they're not TOTALLY creepy. I mean, they're a little endearing, if you can ignore the glassy stare, the fact that they only have one tooth, and that they're camped out on your ironing board, knitting you a sock, washing your clothes, baking, and dusting.
Thanks for your responses to the poll! :) Bears tied with Puppies for second place, so I plan to scan those in the coming weeks. Next was Angels, which are pretty adorable, so I'll also share those. Coming in dead last were Poodles. Poor poodles!
Enjoy your creepy lambs - let me know if you stitch them, what you plan to stitch them on or who you're stitching them for. Have an awesome week, you guys! :)

Custom pillowcase pattern #2
Hey guys! Back again with more ideas for pillowcases. I started off with a simple cross stitch font and a sweet little bird design. I realize there's a whole host of cute, weird, or funny things you could say on these but I thought the basics would be nice:
Hope you enjoy and as always, please comment if you've stitched these - I'd love to see them!

Custom pillowcase pattern
This week, I decided to do something a little different... instead of just bringing a few old patterns out of the vault, I decided to combine them to make a new vintage pattern!
I started off with those two images at the top, which are very nice as is, but I thought that together they'd make a really pretty pillowcase pattern. I added a few french knots on the "Hers" pattern, and if you know a "His" who won't mind a pillowcase so thoroughly girlified, you could try the "His" pattern, too:
I like all the detail you could work into this pattern - and if you stitch it, be sure to leave a comment or send me an email, I'd definitely love to see it! :)

Dutch Days of the Week
Here's a little Friday freebie for you! In my early days of scanning, I had SO MANY transfers to catalogue, that I never tried to scan a whole set. For peeps who love Days of the Week patterns (like me), that was surely a bummer.
So, I thought I'd scan all of these Dutch girl days of the week patterns for you. I found them unmarked, and they don't look like any transfer pattern companies I'm familiar with - the lines are dark blue, and they're a bit yellow with age. The lines are much simpler and thicker than some of the other patterns I usually scan, but I think she's pretty charming just the same.
Hope you like these, and stay tuned for tomorrow - when you'll see a guest post by Beth about an exciting vintage pattern contest starting soon! :)

Congressman Tom Graves (R-GA-14) has an editorial posted over at Martha Zoller's site and distributed by his communications office concerning the state of the Veterans Administration and the massive backlog they have of veterans' claims:
I recently held a Veterans Benefits Fair at Berry College where we afforded veterans and their families the opportunity to learn about the benefits they've earned and meet privately with representatives from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The regional VA representatives who worked the fair were knowledgeable and helpful, and it's obvious they care deeply about the people they serve. I plan to work with them again to host similar events in the future. Although it was a good day, as I spoke with the heroes from our congressional district, I heard a lot about the deep and disturbing problem gripping veterans across the nation: the massive VA backlog.
Despite having their budget increased by over 40 percent since 2009, the Department of Veterans Affairs has left hundreds of thousands of our veterans waiting for the care and services they have earned and deserve. Pending claims for benefits with the VA have increased from 391,000 to 890,000 under the Obama Administration. About 70 percent of the claims have been pending for at least four months, if not for years. San Francisco's Bay Citizen reported that 19,500 veterans died while waiting for their claims to be processed in fiscal year 2012. Making matters worse, the VA is still operating in the last century as it struggles to transition from paper files to an electronic system.
This backlog—leaving hundreds of thousands of veterans waiting in line for payments and services—is simply immoral.
I could point to the headstones at Arlington Cemetery, the countless stories of heroism from WWII to Afghanistan, the sons and daughters of Georgia who bear the scars of service on their minds and bodies, and the military families who live through and with it all. But, we know these things, and that is why the backlog is immoral. We all know about our veterans' sacrifices, and yet our country has still failed them on a scale of such magnitude.
The veterans, their families and the taxpayers who fund the VA deserve action. To date, the VA's response to this crisis has been to announce a plan to process veterans' claims in 125 days or less by the end of year 2015, with 98 percent accuracy. They've aimed for 125 days because claims that take longer are considered "backlogged." That means, by the VA's definition, they will "eliminate" the backlog even as veterans still wait at least four months for a claim to be processed. Even then, an initial claim might be denied and it could take a veteran months or years for an appeal to be processed. Our veterans deserve far better than such a low standard.
If we ask our troops to rush into battle, we must not then ask them to wait for their medical and disability claims. I challenge Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki to set a higher standard and cut the wait time to 30 days. Our veterans deserve to have the peace of mind that their claim will be processed in a month's time, and not a day longer. Some might say such a standard is impossible or unattainable, but consider this: we depend on our service members to do extraordinary things for us, so shouldn't we seek to do the same for them?
Additionally, I'm announcing my support for the Veterans Timely Access To Health Care Act (H.R. 241), which would ensure that veterans seeking primary or specialty care with a VA medical center receive an appointment not later than 30 days from their initial request.
It's also time to think outside the box when it comes to fixing the VA. In a digital age, they are under a crush of paper files—literally. An inspector general report on the Winston-Salem VA office found that 37,000 claims folders were stacked on top of file cabinets. The August 2012 report said, "The excess weight of the stored files has the potential to compromise the structural integrity of the sixth floor of the facility." The VA has spent hundreds of millions dollars to transition to paperless claims processing, called the Veterans Benefits Management System, but a February 2013 report from the VA Inspector General spelled out in stark terms that the program has made little progress.
Why don't we ask tech giants like Apple, Microsoft, Google and Facebook to help? Our veterans deserve the best system, and it makes sense to ask some of the most innovative companies of our time to either collaborate, or bid for a contract, to create a paperless claims system of ease and efficiency for veterans and the employees at the VA.
We must aim higher for our heroes. The Department's goal of improving from a failing grade to a C- is unacceptable. It's long past time to set standards and build a system that truly shows we are a grateful nation for the service and sacrifices of our veterans and their families.

Ohio House strikes down "inherently vicious" designation of pit bulls
The Ohio House of Representatives this afternoon struck down the long-held designation of pit bulls as inherently vicious under Ohio law. The modification to the law was made as an amendment to House Bill 55, which proposes to modify Ohio's animal cruelty statutes and allows for animals to be included in domestic dispute protection orders.
Currently, pit bulls are designated as "vicious" under Ohio law, triggering various requirements for their owners, including special insurance. The amendment to eliminate the breed discriminatory provision in Ohio law passed by a vote of 86-10, and HB 55 as amended was approved 93 to 3.
Ohio is the only state in the country to designate pit bulls as inherently vicious under state law. Both the OVMA and AVMA have long opposed breed discrimination language in law. OVMA supported the amendment to HB 55 , as well as the bill as passed. The legislation now goes to the Ohio Senate for consideration.

Before one starts a review on the new TT3D: Closer to the Edge movie, one should note the film's underlying purpose. Funded by the Isle of Man government, the hour and a half long movie is designed to promote the Isle of Man as a tourist destination, to promote the controversial fortnight-long TT racing event in a favorable light, and to cultivate potentially new fans of the TT by providing a primer to this year's racing action. Part documentary, part advertising, there is accordingly an agenda with this film.
Now with that caveat of information brought to light and understood, I can go on to say that TT3D: Closer to the Edge is an enjoyably great film that makes you range the gamut of emotions as it follows John McGuinness, Ian Hutchinson, and Guy Martin through the 2010 Isle of Man TT. Though the use of 3D filming is gimmicky at best, the short version of this review is that this is a movie that will end up on my DVD shelf as soon as it becomes available.

Take Me Out To The Ball Game
5 comments:
You got to get that ride and put some 22's up under that sucker and you be pimping that wagon.ReplyDelete
I think the "white whale" has been calling out for you.ReplyDelete
And yeap, I think summer left this weekend when I started out my rides with a wind breaker.
Yes - that wagon is calling my name - even though no one else "gets it" at the moment.ReplyDelete
22" wheels? Nah. Some older style Cragars maybe.
@Dan OReplyDelete
Not sure about the first sport you're referencing there, I thought Mariners were people who live in the Marine Layer.
As for the wagon, I can tell you I spend too much money on my cars and can't wait to be done with it. Get the most effective car you can for the cheapest car you can. Then put a bling bike on top. Wagons RULE. I've driven them my whole life.
Summer is passing...bummer...snuck out on Bike #1 yesterday. The "fair weather" and "bad weather" bikes are both on deck for tuning and prep. Ugh.
Yeah, I'm not a baseball fan at all. My son digs it though - no problem there.
Wagons are great - additional room without the full size boat - usually. I skipped the wagon mentioned and went for a the $500 Jetta deal off a friend. Can't get much cheaper then that.
My wet weather rig - the Ibis 'cross/commuter - needs some serious work. Totally wasted chainrings, bb, cassette and chain. The left STI shifter is flaky as well. Time for the full overhaul.

Signature Lighting Tutorial
For Photoshop CS3 and CS4
Okay people, a few of you have been nicely commenting on the lighting in my signatures, so I thought I'd make a tutorial. It's my first attempt at something like this, so apologies if some parts are explained well enough. I've decided to make the tutorial accessible to users of all skill levels, so if you're a veteran, expect some easy parts.
Anyways, in this tutorial you will learn about render lighting, as well as some decent gradient maps to add that *zap!* to your sig. After you finish with the tut and have create a sig with it, feel free to post your outcomes in my thread here. It would be great to see what some of you can come up with.
I will be using the above signature to demonstrate, so expect an outcome somewhat similar. Good luck.
Step 1
Open up a blank canvas. All of my signatures are at 370x160, but you can use whatever size you want. Make sure the background is set to Transparent and the resolution at 72.
Step 2
Pick your render and insert it into the document. Resize it to however you see fit using Transform. A good tip I learnt is to hold 'Shift' when resizing, as it keeps both the height and the width the same, stopping the image from becoming squashed/stretched. The render should be on a separate layer and you should now have two layers.
Step 3
Pick two colours from your render. One should be a lighter colour and the other a darker. Make sure that your lighter colour is set as the foreground colour. Now, select the gradient tool, and set it to Radial Gradient. On your 'bg' layer which should be beneath the render layer, draw from the bottom of the canvas to around the top, aiming for it to be just to the side of the render. See the image if you don't understand.
Step 4
Create a new layer and rename it to 'lighting'. Using the 'Paint Bucket' tool, default [G], fill this layer completely black, then set it's opacity to 70%. This layer should be above all others. Now get out some 'Basic Bushes' and select a Soft Brush at 80px. Hide the 'lighting' layer and now select the 'Eye Dropper' tool, default [I]. Once again select a bright colour from your render, not necessarily the same as before, but it doesn't matter. Now unhide the 'lighting' layer and get out you brush. Right now, it should look something like this.
Step 5
Still on the same layer with your brush selected, brush where you want light to be. Try to keep the brushing over the top of the render, as this is what we want to add light to. The aim of this layer is to create some artificial light, and we will add the source of that later, so consider this when brushing. Below you can see what I did.
Step 6
Now that you have added the brushes, set the 'lighting' layer to Linear Dodge and at 40% Opacity.
Step 7
Create a new layer and rename it to 'burned'. Now go to 'Image' then 'Apply Image' (you may have to click 'Show All Menu Items in order to see this). Now select your burn tool and set it's size to a Soft Brush at 300px. The 'Range' should be on Midtones and the 'Exposure' at 20%. Now, as if brushing, brush over the 'burned' layer. Note: try not to brush over where you want the lighting/light source to be. The aim of this layer is to darken the rest of the image so that attention is brought to the lighting and render. See below for what I did.
Step 8
Just like what we did in 'Step 7', create a new layer and Apply Image. Rename this layer to 'b/w gradient map'. Now hit Shift + D to set your foreground and background colours to default (black + white). Then, still on the 'b/w gradient map' layer, go to 'Image', 'Adjustments' and then 'Gradient Map'. Don't change any of the colours as they should already be black and white. Hit 'OK'. Set this layers opacity to 30%.
Step 9
Repeat 'Step 8', however set your foreground colour to #4300A7 and your background colour to #E66700. Rename this layer to 'p/o gradient map'. Set this layer to Soft Light. I kept the opacity at 100%, however it depends on your render as to what will look better, so set at whatever opacity you wish.
. .
Step 10
Note: This step is optional. Once again create a new layer and apply it. Then go to 'Filter', 'Sharpen' and then 'Sharpen'. I decided against doing this, but on other signatures I have created using this tutorial, I have carried out this step.
Step 11
Create a new layer. Get out your brushes again, but set the size to a Soft Brush at 300px. Wherever you brush is going to become the 'Light Source', so take this into consideration. I brushed at the top of the image. Rename the layer to 'light source'. See below.
Step 12
Add a border, some shapes and some text, and bob's yer uncle.
Thanks for reading and I hope this is of some benefit to some of you! All you have to do now is post the outcomes here. Post up if you are stuck or don't understand anything, or if you want to make a suggestion.
Peace out,

Unfortunately I have not touched Elements in such a long time I don't even remember what it looks like. So I can't help you more then this.
However, unless the image is simply removing a solid color and some minor junk in the background, extracting will almost always take lots of time and effort.

Anti-Syrian Blame Game Escalates
By Stephen Lendman
Since early 2011, ongoing blame game strategy holds Syria responsible for Western-enlisted death squad crimes.
In August 2011, the Human Rights Council (HRC) appointed a so-called Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria (COI). Paulo Pinheiro heads it.
His mandate is pro-Western propaganda. Credibility isn't his long suit. His reports bear testimony to his bias. He wrongfully blames Assad for insurgent crimes. He's done so throughout his tenure.
Washington calls the shots. Pinheiro and other COI members salute and obey. So do HRC officials. Truth is verboten. False reports up the stakes for full-blown US-led NATO intervention.
On June 4, 1,000 US marines arrived in Jordan. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel approved them along with deployment of F-16s, Patriot missiles and other weapons.
Operation Eager Lion 2013 is pretext. Eighteen countries will participate. Exercises begin later in June. They'll last two months. According to US Central Command spokesman Lt. Col. TG Taylor:
"In order to enhance the defensive posture and capacity of Jordan, some of these assets may remain beyond the exercise at the request of the government of Jordan."
Jordan needs no enhanced defensive posture. Deploying US troops and weapons near Syria's border is provocative. Perhaps COI timed its new report release with their arrival. More on that below.
Pinheiro admits anti-Assad forces commit violations and abuses. They pale, he says, compared to government wrongdoing. He lies saying so. He's paid to lie.
On June 4, COI issued its latest report. It covers the period January 15 - May 15, 2013. Three others preceded it.
The UN News Centre headlined "Independent UN panel calls for diplomatic surge to end 'daily reality' of war crimes in Syria."
Syria was invaded. There's nothing civil about ongoing conflict. COI persists in characterizing it that way. Doing so distorts reality on the ground. COI's report states:
"War crimes and crimes against humanity have become a daily reality in Syria where the harrowing accounts of victims have seared themselves on our conscience. Referral to justice remains paramount."
COI discussed "systematic imposition of sieges, the use of chemical agents and forcible displacement."
According to Pinheiro, "Syria is in free-fall. No one is winning and will not win the war. More weapons will only lead to more civilians dead and wounded."
He stops short of truth and full disclosure. It's not his mandate. Syria was invaded. It's victimized by Washington-initiated aggression. Obama bears full responsibility.
Pinheiro urges dialogue to end conflict. How can it when Obama prioritizes war? So far, proxy foot soldiers wage it.
Ending hostilities requires calling them off, halting all funding, arming, training and directing, as well as telling complicit allies to cease and desist all anti-Syrian activities.
Pinheiro's a willing co-conspirator. "We ask that States exert influence over the parties to the conflict to compel them to protect civilians," he urges.
Only one state matters. Washington calls the shots. What it says goes. As long as Obama prioritizes regime change, expect conflict to continue.
COI ignores the grim reality. It was formed to do so. It's a pro-Western tool. So-called findings were based on 430 interviews and "other collected evidence."
Who was interviewed wasn't explained. Clearly anti-Assad elements were featured at the expense of government loyalists. More on Pinheiro's report below.
On June 2, Al Manar reported a recent NATO study. Western organizations conducted it. The World Tribune said it shows Syrian forces winning decisively.
On June 4, Western media reported Syria in full control of Qusair. It's a strategic town bordering Lebanon. It's part of an insurgent supply route. According to General Yahya Suleiman:
"Whoever controls Qusair control the center of the country, and whoever controls the center of the country controls all of Syria."
Syrian state television said "Our heroic armed forces have returned security and stability to all of the town of Qusair."
NATO said 70% of Syrians support Assad. They do so for good reason. They're alarmed about Al Qaeda, Al Nusra, and other extremist elements waging war, committing atrocities and other crimes.
According to an unnamed Western source, "Assad is winning the war mostly because the people are cooperating with him against the rebels."
He omitted explaining why. They want no part of foreign invaders. They reject US-led belligerent intervention. They want Syrian sovereignty respected. They want no outside force deciding who'll rule their country. Above all, they want peace and stability restored.
According to COI, government forces and affiliated militia committed "murder, torture, rape, forcible displacement, enforced disappearances and other inhumane acts."
Pinheiro calls ongoing conflict part of Assad's systematic attack on civilians. He lied saying so. Assad's doing his job. He's battling foreign invaders. He's obligated to do so. Syrians express gratitude.
Pinheiro admits anti-government forces commit crimes of war and against humanity. According to COI's report:
"The violations and abuses committed by anti-Government armed groups did not, however, reach the intensity and scale of those committed by Government forces and affiliated militia."
At the same time it says:
"Anti-Government armed groups have committed war crimes, including murder, sentencing and execution without due process, torture, hostage-taking and pillage."
"They continue to endanger the civilian population by positioning military objectives in civilian areas." Government soldiers and noncombatant civilians were executed in cold blood "without due process."
Gruesome videos revealed brutal anti-Assad atrocities. Western media largely ignore them. Big Lies substitute. Syrian forces are blamed for insurgent crimes.
Pinheiro suggests Assad's forces target internally displaced Syrians. Chemical weapons have been used by both sides, he said. Assad bears most responsibility, he claims.
COI's report cites four attacks. They include March 19 on Khan Al-Asal, Aleppo, March 19 on Uteibah, Damascus, April 13 on Aleppo's Sheikh Maqsood's neighborhood, and April 29 on Saraqib, Idlib.
"There are reasonable grounds to believe that limited quantities of toxic chemicals were used" in these incidents, said COI.
Precise chemical agents used, their delivery systems or perpetrators aren't clear, it said. Other incidents remain under investigation.
No evidence whatever links Syrian forces to toxic chemical attacks. Plenty shows insurgents used them. In late May, Turkish forces arrested 12 suspected Al Nusra fighters.
They were seized in southern Turkey. They were caught red-handed with a two gm cylinder of sarin nerve gas.
Initial Turkish media reports said four and a half pounds of sarin were seized. US media scoundrels said nothing. They largely support aggressive war on Syria.
Along with sarin, Turkish police found handguns, grenades, bullets and various documents. A planned Al-Nusra bomb attack in Adana was foiled. Many Alawites live there. They're Assad loyalists.
On May 5, COI said testimonial evidence indicates "rebel forces" used sarin. A day later, it suggested "no conclusive findings."
Other reports confirmed anti-Assad elements using chemical weapons. Syrian forces confiscated two cylinders of sarin used by insurgents in Hama.
It bears repeating. No evidence whatever shows Syria's military or other pro-government elements used sarin or other toxic agents.
False reports claim otherwise. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius accused Assad of using them. He did so based on alleged tests France conducted. Results were sent to the UN, he said.
On June 5, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) headlined "Syria: UNHCR Committee Insists on Exaggeration, Ignores Crucial Events," saying:
Syria's permanent HCR representative Fayssal al-Hamwi addressed the body. He accused it of premeditated exaggerations. It paid little attention to vital information too important to ignore.
"In spite of our warnings against using sectarian expressions," he said, "basically rejected by the Syrian society, the committee used such terms and ignored in its conclusions and recommendations the causes of deteriorating the social and economic situation, including the unjust unilateral sanctions imposed by some Arab and western countries on the Syrian people."
Russia's permanent Geneva-based UN representative Alexei Borodavkin said COI's report stopped short of "honest positions."
It downplayed or ignored insurgent "terrorist acts." It omitted explaining the harmful effects of unilateral economic sanctions. It's "politically biased."
False anti-Assad accusations persist. Repeatedly he's been accused of foreign death squad atrocities. Eye witnesses point fingers the right way. Western media ignore them.
Recent White House and State Department comments suggest Obama appears heading for full-scale intervention.
With marines, other US forces and heavy weapons on Syria's border, anything may happen any time. If Libya 2.0 is launched, expect Israel to be involved. Israeli air attacks may initiate it.

Greta Grossman Grasshopper Floor Lamp
The iconic Gräshoppa lamp was first produced in 1947. The tubular steel tripod stand is tilted backward and the elongated aluminium conical shade is ball-jointed onto the arm; so the light can be directional, yet the glare is minimal. Both stand and shade are powder-coated. Accepts 1 × 40watt max E12 incandescent bulb or CFL (not included).
The most iconic products Greta Grossman designed in the 40's and 50's were the Gräshoppa floor lamp and the Cobra floor and table lamps. Grossman was highly influenced by European Modernism, which had been imported to the US by influencial architects, such as Walter Gropius (founder of the Bauhaus) and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Grossman, in turn, played a significant role in defining the aesthetic of mid-century Californian Modernism. Today, Grossman's product designs are highly collectible and are sold at auctions all around the world. Grossman's products are unique, modern classic designs.

I bally love a good wedding. And so an entire weddingy weekend was just bliss. I was honoured to be be invited to our friends Katie and Peter's wedding, and even more delighted that it was all taking in place in Austria! If you've read my last few posts you'll know that I was lucky enough to take a holiday to Vienna in November for the Christmas markets, and I was only too happy to get back there in the sunnier weather…..
Friday started out a little stressful, as in taking a little holiday, we had to leave the pup for the first time! It was worse still because Adam's mum, who would usually look after him for us, is away at the moment so he had to go to her friend…..she's a long time dog owner and lover though and we got him used to her and her house over the last few weeks by going for walks together and visiting her cute little cottage. Still, I was a bit of a wreck and properly welled up as we left him, despite the fact that he was clearly very happy to be having a bit of a holiday of his own!
After dropping Cooper off, we made our way to the airport and had a nice leisurely journey to Vienna. We had a couple of hours to spare at the airport at that end, before the coach arrived to take us to the wedding venue, so we indulged in a nice big dinner….I love the food in Austria, and very happily yummed up a large helping of Wiener Schnitzel with parsley potatoes, as well as some excellent coffee…..there's no pretence with Viennese food, but it's all such great quality and so very tasty!
After a few more guests had arrived on a later flight, our little coach took us south towards Graz, to the little village of Bad Waltersdorf where the wedding venue is. We made the journey fun by taking along some very sweet fizzy wine and lots of sweets, and so it didn't seem too long a journey at all. We were taken directly to the Schloß Obermayerhofen and walked through the castle grounds up to the idyllic little chalet at the top of the hill. The Gaisrieglhof is a 250 year old farmhouse from nearby Pöllau, rebuilt here and used for the traditional pre-wedding gathering. Some guests had dressed in the traditional national dress, including the beautiful bride, and there were traditional musicians playing and wearing wonderful lederhosen! It was lovely to have a little pre-wedding catch up with everyone and drink a couple of glasses of the delicious local wine after our journey!
After our long day prior, we enjoyed a bit of a lie in on the Saturday morning and spent most of the day getting ready for the wedding in the afternoon. It was great fun getting ready with some of Adam's lovely old school friends, and at 2pm we all took a taxi up to the Schloß from our hotel to start the celebrations. We were greeted by lovely cold drinks and yummy nibbles as part of the Agape feast, and before long watched the stunning Katie walk down from her room. We moved through to the pretty meadow behind the castle, where a cute gazebo surrounded by chairs was set up for the civil part of the wedding….it was beautiful to be out in the open air and the weather was certainly kind! There was a Catholic ceremony after that, in the gorgeous Baroque chapel, then music and fizz out on the castle's terrace as the couple had lots of photos taken.
The wedding breakfast took place in another of the castle's incredible rooms, and we were treated to an exceptionally good dinner (asparagus soup with herb dumplings, wild garlic ravioli, crusted lamb and a trio of chocolate desserts!) alongside some wonderful local wines. The speeches were all very funny and touching, and after dinner the happy couple took to the floor for a very impressive tango for their first dance.
We whiled away the night chatting, drinking and dancing, and having a lovely time in great company. There was a midnight feast of gulaschsuppe (possibly my favourite thing we ate on the whole trip and absolutely divine!) and so we were very contented indeed when we finally got to our beds.
After breakfast and checkout on Sunday morning, another coach took us back to Vienna airport where we dropped off our bags and then made our way into the Vienna Mitte to spend a few hours before our flight home. We'd not managed to visit the popular Zanoni Eis gelateria when we were there last, so that was an obvious choice….. we were a little overwhelmed by the masses of flavours though, but did finally manage to choose six different scoops to fill a nice large tub with (nutella, melon, pistachio, strawberry, coffee and chocolate!). They were all super-yum, but the melon was a definite favourite, and the treat was very welcome in the city heat!
We had a little mooch around the city after that, going back to the fun clock in the town and also heading back to the wonderful Cafe Pruckel next to the Stadtpark…..we yummed up very naughty iced coffees that were drowning in cream and chocolate! We walked off the treats round the sunny park, and then slowly made our way back to the airport for the flight home.
We were lucky enough to catch a lift home with some other friends who'd taken the same flight, so our journey wasn't too arduous. Still, we were pretty exhausted when we got back and flaked out almost immediately. The house didn't feel like home though until our precious pup was delivered back to us on Monday morning….I'd missed him so terribly and despite having had a wonderful little holiday of his own and loving all the attention from his new friends, he seemed delighted to see us too!
Hope you had a lovely sunny weekend too!

I just visited a site and was offered a free online scan by Spyware Doctor (I think) So I ran it and it came up with 4 items in around 2 minutes. A full scan of this system with AdAware, SpyBot, Ewido or Microsoft Antispyware takes between 10 and 20 minutes each.
I am then told that to remove this spyware I have to purchase the product.........
Go figure
I ran a safe mode scan with all the products I have mentioned and they found nothing..................?
I rest my case.

Another thing that also took up my time the past few weeks was Jordan. I wanted to spend as much time with him as possible because as of Sunday he left for Korea, and will be teaching there for the next year. He's been there only a few short days and is already being challenged and having an amazing time, I am so happy for him and cannot wait to continue hearing the stories he will have to share!
As for me... I've gotten my g2, I finally got the official card in the mail yesterday, what a horrendous photograph of myself, that's an understatement to be quite frank. I gave a little screech when I saw it, it was horrible. But, I'll be able to re-take it soon, so I look forward to that. I have a job. I potentially have a job in Montreal for the summer. I am planning on visiting Jordan in Korea at the end of my next potential job i.e. end of August beginning of September. I'm looking forward to what the future holds. I've set some new fitness goals, and I'm looking forward to reaching them; one of them including a goal to climb a rock wall at the nearest rock climbing centre in town!
As for recipes... I have one I am going to share with you guys that I've absolutely fallen in love with. My breakfasts have pretty much been a staple of smoothies lately. I've been buying the biiiig 454g tub of spinach each week and going through them by myself. I throw spinach in my smoothies, with whey, chocolate milk, water, and fruit, they are incredibly delicious and filling.
One of my favourite smoothies, was one that I should have posted for St-Patrick's Day, however due to work circumstances and other I was put far behind, but here is the recipe. This is insanely delicious, the colour is beautiful and all natural, the flavours are bold and refreshing. I really enjoy this! This is great because... well, I've never ever enjoyed chocolate milk as I've said numerous times I'm not a fan, but mint chocolate chip ice cream has always been a favourite of mine, and this sort of reminds me of it. Instead of peppermint extract you can use a few mint leaves (which I've been doing this week), you can use cocoa powder, semi-sweet chocolate chips, regular soy milk or any soy milk, it's really versatile and you'll get similar fantastic tastes'.
Shamrock Spinach Smoothie
Recipe by me
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 large frozen banana
- 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
- 1/2 cup soy chocolate milk
- 1/2 cup water
- Carob chips for topping
Blend everything together in blender.
I'm hoping that this week I'll be able to have a little bit more time and share tome amazing vegan recipes I've been indulging in! Hope to see you all soon!
Hope you're enjoying yourselves, and the beautiful weather out there.

Oregon State Police, Oregon Department of Transportation, and Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife urge motorists to be on alert while traveling, as more wildlife appear on or along highways at this time of the year.
November has the highest number of reported wildlife-related collisions.
According to statistics from ODOT's Crash Analysis & Reporting Section, wildlife-involved traffic collisions have been on the rise in Oregon.
Last year, ODOT received reports of 1,283 such crashes, up from 1,199 reported in 2011, and approximately 30 percent higher than the number reported in 2007 (903 reported crashes). Officials believe the numbers are actually higher because most collisions involving wildlife result in property damage only to the involved vehicle and do not get reported to police or DMV.
A glance at ODOT's emergency response dispatch center log for a three-month period shows more than 1,000 reported crashes involved wildlife, and that was just in southern Oregon.
Recent examples of these crashes:
On Oct. 31, two people traveling at night westbound on Highway 140W near milepost 65 swerved to avoid a deer in the road. The vehicle's driver lost control, traveled across both lanes, and overturned after striking an embankment. Both occupants were not injured. On Sept. 24, a commercial truck driver traveling at night eastbound on Highway 26 near milepost 82 in Wasco County struck a bull elk. The truck and tanker trailer overturned, blocking the highway for several hours. The truck driver received serious, but non-life threatening injuries.
On Sept. 8, a commercial truck driver traveling before sunrise southbound on Highway 97 south of Grass Valley swerved to avoid several deer in the roadway. He lost control and rolled off the highway. The truck driver received non-life threatening injuries.
On June 23, a motorcyclist traveling during daylight hours on Highway 19 west of Spray in Wheeler County struck a deer and was found deceased by a passing motorist.
ODOT statistics indicate since 2003 there have been more than 9,400 reported wildlife-involved collisions in Oregon, 30 of which resulted in a fatality. More than a third of the total reported crashes occurred September-November. Since 2008, Oregon counties with the highest number of reported wildlife-involved crashes are Lane, Clackamas, Deschutes, Douglas, and Jackson.
During the last 10 years, the top five months with the highest number of reported wildlife-involved crashes were:
November (1,256 reported total crashes / 178 reported in 2012) October (1,125 reported crashes / 164 reported in 2012) September (1,013 reported crashes / 152 reported in 2012) July (1,010 reported crashes / 145 reported in 2012) August (965 reported crashes / 112 reported in 2012)
OSP, ODOT and ODFW urge drivers to be aware of the possible dangers associated with animals on or near our highways. Extra vigilance is required. The following information may help reduce animal/vehicle incidents:
Te annual deer rut season typically lasts from late October to mid-to-late November, increasing deer activity and increasing the potential for deer to cross roads. During the next few months there will be fewer daylight hours and visibility will be challenged by darkness and winter weather conditions. Be attentive at all times, especially sunset to sunrise for any potential hazard on or near the highway. When driving in areas that have special signs indicating the possible presence of animals/wildlife, please use extra caution because these signs are posted for a reason. Be extra careful in areas where there is a lot of vegetation next to the road or while going around curves. Wildlife near the road may not be visible. Remember that the presence of any type of animal/wildlife could also mean that others are nearby. When you see an animal/wildlife near or on the roadway, reduce your speed and try to stay in your lane. Many serious crashes are the result of drivers swerving to avoid wildlife or other obstacles and they crash into another vehicle or lose control of their own vehicle. The same advice applies for smaller wildlife like nutria or raccoons - try to stay in your lane and do not swerve for these animals. They are less dangerous to vehicles than big game animals; losing control of the vehicle is a larger concern. Always wear your safety belt, even the slightest collision could result in serious injuries.

Wall Street Journal Europe editorial page editor Brian Carney is on the phone with me now from London ... Brian is is giving Greece is money counterproductive is it essential to its survival or is it though ... I and probably both allied to ... the increase needs this money to stay afloat that still running deficits and they can't borrow in the ... the private markets it's just a year out of the massive restructuring of its on private sector debt isn't ... you know if it doesn't keep getting a lifeline from the EU and IMF we can pay its bills and its civil servants in the the the government is in really dire Straits and ... what happens is every few months the yuan the IMF review Greece's progress and they discover that it missed its target of ... cutting the civil service its missed its target on that is the reduction in ... the misses all of its targets every time and every time is that ... both were impressed with their progress and here's another few billion and then they ... they go on until the next few billion is doing they have to pay back some in the European Central Bank or somebody like the women that ... they hand them another tranche of this a ... good thing is that ... thinking you can't get out of it because they can't walk away from Greece at this point apiece huge admission of failure ... but ... you know they ... they can't get this money backing Curtis's debt to GDP is up but uh hundred and sixty percent in on its way that you know ... maybe two hundred percent and ... you know so ... the EU at a certain point it's going to have to ... you know ... admit to itself that this money that is supposedly landing decreases really money that they are giving them that it will vault the payback or we ... won't be paid back in our life on the table and up with an infinite maturity or something like that I mean ... this is money that they still retain their landing because the Germans can admit ahead of an election in September that they've given all this money away and then never get to see it again ... but they can stop giving it either because of Chris collapses so worried about what that was due to the air all Brian is so what should be used to is there a way ... to take to get the EU out of this terrible situation ... well ... if they can get greasy into a balanced budget right so where it is not spending more than it is toxic ... then they can ... all stop giving them money and they can ... discover the far right off the debt that they ... have to have given grace but that they are owed from Greece ... and ... yet the surge ... give up and say look we service ...

What a beautiful piece of heartache this has all turned out to be. Lord knows we've learned the hard way all about healthy apathy. And I use these words pretty loosely. There's so much more to life than words..

This still doesn't feel real to me at all, although leaving in general (or disappearing from my current life, anyway) does. My apartment has been a mess of attempting-to-pack for the last month, since my original plan was to move out a month early and save rent that way, but the reality is I was nowhere near ready to leave at that point. I've done about half of the goodbye things that I know I'll be doing, and today I put in my last hour at work. I was supposed to be there 'till Friday night, but I've been going home sick more often than not the past two weeks, with these terrible drowsinesses (mostly from the heat) and random other symptoms (most likely from stress), and decided that putting in two and a half more days there was just not worth it. I mean, I need to in a capitalist sense, or just in the responsible sense of being entirely caught up financially by the time I leave.. but the reality is that if I get sick enough to not be able to leave, or if I get stressed out enough that I have a breakdown at bootcamp, I'm not gonna be ok financially or otherwise. So, I called tonight and told them that because of stress, I wouldn't be returning to work. They were very fine with that, even though they're incredibly busy these days.
This weekend, my mother, brother, and niece will hopefully be coming up for a visit before I leave. And then next week I've got a bazillion more attempts at hanging out with people one-last-time, and then I'm off on this crazy new adventure.
As long as Kerry doesn't get elected, I'll have job security for the next five years.
I've already given Beth all the information she needs (I think) for my blog and email account so that they don't go poof while I'm gone, and so that I can update everyone during bootcamp, and in one central location.
So I guess that's all there is to it this time, really.
The part of me that feels like all of this is more final than not is getting bigger these days.. The part of me that knows it won't ever be back. But I will, most likely. I always am.
Here's to restless nights before big changes.. and here's to big changes that will hopefully make nights less restless.

Hippie: (after hearing Max wants to avoid the draft)You still have options man.
"So how do i do normal
"It's been known for a train to jump its track. It's ok, so you'll know, most times they come back. It's ok to lose your life, when you finally see your birth. It's ok to say, "I love you," and figure sometimes it's gonna hurt.
"As a comedian, you have to start the show strong and you have end the show strong. Those are the two key elements. You can't be like pancakes, all exciting at first, but then by the end you're sick of 'em!"
"Hey, this is weird! I ordered one frozen yogurt and they gave me two. You don't happen to like frozen yogurt, do you?" "I love it!" "You're kidding! What a crazy random happenstance!"
"Only one more trip," said a gallant seaman,
"It was Flannery O'Connor who said that 'grace must wound before it heals.' Her words help me to separate what is most true about life from the things we want to be true. We want life to be painless. True grace is a hard sell because in order for the human heart to understand forgiveness and love, it must first experience darkness and isolation. A life lived under the rule of grace is a life of need which allows us to receive an appreciate the gift of the giver of grace. This is why we will always have the poor with us; this is why God will not allow us to ignore injustice; this is why we are called to a life we cannot handle alone, which can and will break us in the effort to live it -- because grace must wound before it heals."
Regarding 2007:
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
I thought Christmas Day would never come. But it's here at last, so Mom and Dad, the waiting's finally done. And you gotta get up, you gotta get up, you gotta get up, it's Christmas morning.
O little town of Bethlehem,
Walk humbly, son
Strings of lights above the bed
"In a little while I'll feel better
"Please tell me once again that You love me. That You love me. Please tell me once again that I matter to You and You really care. Please tell me once again that You're with me, forever. It's not that I could ever doubt you, I just love the way it sounds. I just love the way it sounds."
"Every once in a while, a bannerzen posts."
"7:30. What kind of people have to be at work at 7:30?"
have you seen my love
Traveling is significant because it takes so much effort. Either you're going to some place you love, or you're leaving some place you love. Usually it's both.
I think I have Bond's ability to get into trouble but not his ability to get out of it. Someday I'll be in some foreign country with 5 thugs with automatic rifles pointed at me, and I'll just.... fart
"You had no alternative .. We must work in the world. The world is thus." --- "No .. Thus have we made the world."
The summer ends and we wonder where we are And there you go, my friends, with your boxes in your car And you both look so young And last night was hard, you said You packed up every room And then you cried and went to bed But today you closed the door and said "We have to get a move on. It's just that time of year when we push ourselves ahead, We push ourselves ahead."
Looking out the bedroom at this snowy TV.. ever since commencement, no one's asking 'bout me. But I bet before the night falls, I could catch the late bus.. take small provisions and this Beethoven bust. I could find work in the outskirts of the city, eat some fish on the way.. befriend an old dog for a roadside pal, find a nice couch to stay -- a pull-out sofa, if you please!"
Ooh! Get me away from here I'm dying
"The trouble with folks like Brownie is they hold their life in like a bakebean fart at a Baptist cookout and only let it slip out sideways a little at a time when they think there's nobody noticing. Now that's the last thing on earth the Almighty intended. He intended all the life a man's got inside him, he should live it out just as free and strong and natural as a bird."
"Life is a phantasmagoria .. It is a pell-mell of confused and tumultuous scenes. We try in vain to find a purpose - to bring an order, a unity to life. I suppose that is the appeal of art. Art is the blending of the real and the unreal, the conquering of nature. It is real enough for it to reflect life, but has the unity that life lacks."
"in time memories fade.
I've always had this feeling about Patty that she's complex and intriguing...I like Patty alot. She's got a good heart and tells terrible squirrel jokes.
"Try to remember that world-weariness isn't necessarily a bad thing. In the book of Mark, I think its Mark, Jesus looks at a blind man and sighs. Jesus sighed before even telling the man he would be healed. He sighed, and I'm not sure that there's a much more human expression of frustration than this. Faced with the horrid picture of a cursed earth and looking into the white eyes of a man blind from the day he was born, He sighed. The Creator of the universe in human form was sad "of the evils of this world," the world He created. Your Creator sighed for you in the same way before He healed you and made you His."
After the last secret's told
After the last bullet tears through flesh and bone
After the last child starves
And the last girl walks the boulevard
After the last year that's just too hard
There is love
-- Andrew Peterson, After the Last Tear Falls
"when you most need people, you don't need perfection - just to know someone gives a damn"
"My brother's always [telling me], 'You should be more mysterious--boys like that.' But I'm not good at that. It would just make me more uncomfortable."
"Loners want to kill you, but not for any particular reason, and they'd probably like you if they weren't being guided by the violent voices in their head."
"No one wants to oil a snake these days!"
Her mom: "We're all safe."
-- Jamie Bevill and her mother during Christmas-Decorating dinner, December 20, 2002
i'd throw out all my shoes
i'd set up cans for friends
to dump their shoes senseless shoes
a pioneer of callouses
lordy-be and bless my soul
i'd be a barefoot spaceman
the first you'd ever know"
"The best way to have God's will for your life is to have no will of your own!"
"Generations circle and each one atones. The sins of the father are seperate from my own. In Pilgrim's Progress, it's forgiveness that makes whole, and as time levels and consoles, I place the daisies in your bowl."
"For a moment he just stared at her. Then, with an urf-urf-urf of laughter, he turned back to the controls."
"It's on the internet.. so, then, it must be true."
"Be at least as interested in what people can become as you are in what they have been."
Blessed be the rock stars!"
Get up for the shower.. wash and scrub and scour every part as if a cleaner man could better bear the shame..
"She was eating gnarly amounts of calcium."
Homeless man to girl trying to give him money: "No, thanks, ma'am. I never work on Sundays."
"Wow! I never thought I'd need a radar-guided spatula!"
"Isn't it great that I articulate? Isn't it grand that you can understand? ... I can talk, I can talk, I can talk!"
I believe that people laugh at coincidence as a way of relegating it to the realm of the absurd and of therefore not having to take seriously the possibility that there is a lot more going on in our lives than we either know or care to know... I suspect that part of it, anyway, is that every once and so often we hear a whisper from the wings that goes something like this: "You've turned up in the right place at the right time. You're doing fine. Don't ever think that you've been forgotten.
When I lay these questions before God I get no answer. But a rather special sort of "No answer." It is not the locked door. It is more like a silent, certainly not uncompassionate, gaze. As though He shook His head not in refusal but waiving the question. Like, "Peace, child; you don't understand."
CCM: You've spoken a lot more about crying than I ever thought you would.
"Youth is not a period of time. It is a state of mind, a result of the will, a quality of the imagination, a victory of courage over timidity, of the taste for adventure over the love of comfort. A man doesn't grow old because he has lived a certain number of years. A man grows old when he deserts his ideal. The years may wrinkle his skin, but deserting his ideal wrinkles his soul. Preoccuptaions, fears, doubts, and despair are the enemies which slowly bow us toward earth and turn us into dust before death. You will remain young as long as you are open to what is beautiful, good, and great; receptive to the messages of other men and women, of nature and of God. If one day you should become bitter, pessimistic, and gnawed by despair, may God have mercy on your old man's soul."
""Don't go matchmaking for me, Ilse," said Emily wit a faint smile... "I feel in my bones that I shall achieve old-maidenhood, which is an entirely different thing from having old-maidenhood thrust upon you."
"I wish Aunt Elizabeth would let me go to Shrewsbury, but I fear she never will. She feels she can't trust me out of her sight because my mother eloped. But she need not be afraid I will ever elope. I have made up my mind that I will never marry. I shall be wedded to my art"
"Tomorrow seems like a long ways away. But it will come, just like any other day... Deep inside, where the wounded creatures hide, I am afraid. Maybe I got lost somewhere along the way somehow. Please rescue me... Yea, though I walk through the valley of the dark shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For you are with me... Though I fear, though I am afraid, You are with me. Though I'm angry, tired, broken down and confused, You are with me. Though I sin like I've never sinned before, lose myself right out an open door, You are with me."
"The invisible people agreed about everything. Indeed most of their remarks were the sort it would not be easy to disagree with: "What I always say is, when a chap's hungry, he likes some victuals," or "Getting dark now; always does at night," or even "Ah, you've come over the water. Powerful wet stuff, ain't it?"" -- C. S. Lewis, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
"When People object... that if Jesus was God as well as Man, then He had an unfair advantage which deprives Him for them of all value, it seems to me as if a man struggling in the water should refuse a rope thrown to him by another who had one foot on the bank, saying, "Oh but you had an unfair advantage." It is because of His advantage that He can help."
"But, you know, as a Christian, one of the big questions you always ask yourself is, "So we believe in Jesus, we believe in the teachings of the church, but what does that look like when it's lived out?" Because surely, one of the things that Jesus said that I think we often overlook is, "The person who hears my words and does them is like the wise man who built his house on the rock." He didn't say "the person who hears my words and thinks about 'em" or "whoever hears my words and agrees with it." But he said, "Whoever hears it and does it."
"find that which gives you breath and grants you more to give
"I have packed all my belongings. I don't belong here anymore. This pair of sandles, one pack to carry, this old guitar and this tattered old Bible. And I know I won't be afraid. 'cause I know, I know Home is where You are."
"Open up your weepy eyes, everyone is dancing. Angels peer through sweet disguise, through a fire of cleansing.
"Long hair, no hair; Everybody, everywhere:
Breathe Deep, breathe deep the Breath of God!"
"You may be bruised and torn and broken, but
you're Mine!"
"I don't deserve to speak, and they don't deserve
to hear it. It's makin' me believe that it's not
about me."
"Kickin' against these goads sure did cut up my
feet. Didn't your hands get bloody as you washed
them clean?"
"They say God blessed us with plenty. I say
you?re blessed with poverty. ?Cause you never
stop to wonder whether earth is just a little
better than the Land of the Free"
"Computers will know everything in the 21st
century. They'll be like me in the 20th

We're a young ad and e-commerce analytics company founded by two data geeks. We use an e-commerce merchant's data to predict what people will do, click or buy next or in the future and optimize ad spend and other business metrics with those predictions. Our algorithms are much more adaptable than the standard predictive analytics techniques, and we integrate flexibly as SaaS with a strict minimum of fuss.
We work with younger, nimbler and more exciting e-commerce companies: those with exciting business models, those in an extreme growth phase and those who are staking out new markets via the application of extreme technology. We're not in competition with the IBMs or the SASs of this world; their technology just doesn't adapt to our clients. We're also not a faceless ad channel as we work together with our clients and the ad ecosystem to optimize their ad spend.
Up until now, we've been concentrating on building our tech and our client list and generally staying under the radar. But we've got a big announcement coming up soon and we need an identity.
1. New, fast-growing, young or different e-commerce sites looking to optimize their advertising spend and their business
2. We are looking to generate some buzz in the near future
3. Eventually, we plan to have an API for a service that site owners and hackers could use more generally
4. Developers that want to do a skunkworks project on their site; not necessarily the CEO (though it's got to be CEO acceptable).
We are b2b, so we don't want anything that's too way out.
Something that says "opposite of SAS or IBM, young, flexible, nimble".
Distinctive enough that we can get some brand recognition when we make a buzz
Not too pastel in the colour scheme.
If possible, try not to incorporate the text too closely into the logo. We may want to change our trade name but not the logo.
Apart from that, please be very creative.
