Thanks so much. My mother was born and raised in Hawaii and this recipe was the best I've found since I was enjoying a huge slab of it as I watched the sunrise in Hilo Bay 30 years ago.
I remember making bread with my grandmother and she used the potato to bloom the yeast. Her recipe was in pounds of flour and scoops of shortening and it made 60 buns. Thanks for the memories
a vey nice bread thank you for posting this dee

The beds were not very firm.
The front were very friendly and helpful. The housekeeper did a wonderful job keeping the room clean. Did not like the bathroom vent on all the time and could heard 2nd floor room showering very noticeably.

Nice quiet hotel with very clean room & very friendly staff.
Pool could have been heated for a more enjoyable time with the kids. They also should have an elevator. We had a lot to carry up to the 2nd floor.
Good size room and offerings for a full breakfast. I would stay here again.

Sherrill Knezel's Profile
Hello! I am excited to finally have taken the plunge into selling my art on Etsy!
Color is the one true element that can move me. I love juxtaposing vibrant warm and cool colors to evoke playfulness or using neutral warm tones to calm the soul. My work has continued to center on women, children and families as well as the concept of HOME. Most recently I have begun to explore the addition of collage and the written word.
I have been lucky enough to teach elementary art since 1999. This has greatly influenced my own work. I LOVE children's uninhibited use of color and their direct simplicity of line. Both of these qualities have filtered into my own pieces. I feel privileged to work with my students everyday because I learn from them and can help them learn that art is such an important way to tell your own story…

Meet Prince Edward
Welcome to Canada! We took the ferry from Cape Vincent to Wolfe Island, entering Canada. We then had to cycle to the otherside of the island to take another ferry to Kingston. From Kingston, we cycled to Wellington in Prince Edward County, an Island south of Ontario. We cycled about 85km that day. We camped in Doug and Shirley's backyard: They have a beautiful house right on the lake.
"Going Home is such a Ride..."...Dory Previn
... memory too soon?? But the reality of integrating back into 'being home' practicalities is pretty complete at this point. Bags unpacked ( it took a few days to empty that last suitcase), mail opened/dealt with, income tax done ( by my good friend Annie!/ I couldn't face it!!), groceries in, power,phone/internet TV restored after my usual BellHell session with them ( they still haven't gotten it right!!)...and now out in this ...

"Our family of 4 (includes 3yro & 6mth old) had the best beach vacation and we are happy to share our review. BOOKING - Very easy! Owner Mike was prompt with emails and was responsive when sorting out a pricing issue with the condo office. UNIT - super clean and well equipped! Very children friendly especially being on the ground floor with a screened lanai. The kids room can get a tad noisy from the elevator traffic but easier solved with our white noise machine. PROPERTY - the office team was efficient and polite. Their "beach ambassador" Ian was the icing that made our trip more than perfect! Ian took care of us, ensure that we had beach chair and umbrellas, pointed out pods of dolphins as they swam by. People working there are all out nice, even the night security guy,William, who ensured that I was fine as I fished off the docks at night. Other notes: a heads up that the condo office charges a processing fee (like most places) and a damage insurance fee that can add up to over $100-- so plan that into you budget. We will return sooner than later!"Guest: TANYA P. Date of Stay: January 2015 Review Submitted: January 18, 2015View listing
"Every year we come down to stay in Sarasota. We normally stay with a friend, but this year I wanted to have a place closer to the beach. It did not disappoint. Our son brought a friend and they loved the pool and hunting for lizards!! They also commented on how nice it was to have their own beds and a TV in their room. This home was fabulous!! Our friend that lives here stayed a night so for the most part we had 4 adults and 2 kids and had plenty of room. The kitchen was very nice as well. Thanks for letting us stay and we hope to be back next year!!"Guest: McMillan-Jernigan Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: August 5, 2015View listing
"Fisherman's Cove Condominium #A205 was exactly as presented. The unit was clean with a spacious, updated kitchen which was fully stocked. We were happy to be on the second floor where we could get a full view of the gulf of Mexico and enjoyed eating our breakfast in the screened lanai. I must admit I was very pleased to rent a condo which had more than an ample supply of fresh bath towels and linens. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. We so enjoyed listening to the sound of the ocean hitting the shore each night! Every morning, we would head out to the beach with a cup of coffee in hand and search for shells. Tom and Kathy recommended a number of restaurants in the area. Turtle Beach Pub and Turtle's is only 1/2 mile away; and we enjoyed a number of meals there. We also enjoyed Blue Smoke which is located in Siesta Key Village. The Village is less than a 10 minute ride, and is the "action spot" of Siesta Key. We grocery shopped with the locals at Publix which is close to Fisherman's Cove Condo Association. We enjoyed solitude with the convenience of restaurants and grocery stores nearby. We must tell you that Sarasota Bradenton, FL (SRQ) airport is only 25 minutes away. Upon arrival, we were able to collect luggage, confirm our car rental and pick up our car within a half hour. Our departure also went quickly...what a nice way to start/end a vacation!"Guest: Janice K. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 28, 2015View listing
"Beautiful unit! Clean, updated, wonderful modern decor. Excellent high-end kitchen and washer and dryer. Just perfect. Great location, can walk to market, restaurants, and drug store. You can listen to music from the balcony playing across the street. So "Key West"! My only complaint would be that the window shades in the master bedroom need to be darker. The sun comes in hot and strong in the early morning making it impossible to sleep in, even a little - and I'm an early riser! Maybe just add some drapes?"Guest: Ana B.

Sooner or later, the cool self-assurance of citizen non-politician Ben Carson was bound to betray him. His categorical statement that "I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that," was astoundingly un-American in itself.
Particularly as an African-American seeking the highest office, he seemed unaware or at least unconcerned that he was challenging the Constitution he so stoutly and repeatedly defends on other occasions.
Secret Service agents nursing their wounds from the recent disclosures of incompetence in protecting the president should read Carl Sandburg's account of how one of their forebearers failed in his assigned task on the fateful night in April 1865 when Abraham Lincoln went to Ford's Theater.
Sandburg in the third volume of his masterful biography, "Abraham Lincoln: The War Years, 1864-1865," gives a chilling account of how John F. Parker, a District of Columbia police officer and one of four assigned to safeguard Lincoln, botched the job.
Democrats from around the country, and political chroniclers as well, again flocked to Iowa last weekend for retiring Sen. Tom Harkin's annual steak fry, a traditional event for raising cholesterol levels and presidential ambitions.
In reluctantly deciding to take the fight against the terrorist Islamic State into Syria, President Obama finds himself caught in a political and military version of "Catch-22."
He is poised to launch heavy air attacks on the Islamic State for the threat they pose to the Western democracies, theoretically from Western turncoats with British and American passports who could return as suicide bombers.
As the crystal ball on the 2016 Republican presidential nomination remains blurred, two-time loser Mitt Romney appears willing at least to entertain the possibility of trying a third time.
In addition to occasional comments on matters he knows a lot about, including setting up a health-care insurance plan (in Massachusetts) and how to create jobs as well as personal wealth, Romney has now put on a hat as a defense and foreign policy expert.
In an exhaustive new book, journalist and researcher Ken Hughes makes the case not only that Richard Nixon, as a presidential candidate, committed treason by interfering in peace negotiations in Vietnam, but also that he sought to use the circumstances to enhance his election chances on the eve of the 1968 presidential campaign.
Hillary Clinton's tactical retreat in her soft apology and meet-up with President Obama at Martha's Vineyard, after her ill-timed criticism of his "failure" in aiding Syrian refugees, indicates she may not be quite ready to put her best foot forward for the 2016 presidential race.
Her remark in her interview with The Atlantic magazine, otherwise fulsome in praise of him, came at a time Obama is struggling with a full plate of foreign policy woes.
Even as President Obama continues to insist that there will be no return of American "boots on the ground" in Iraq, stark reality is severely testing what has come to be known as the Obama Doctrine — that the use of U.S. military power has limits defined by America's own national interests.
His decision to airdrop humanitarian aid to a non-Islamic ethnic group isolated in Kurdish Iraq by threatening forces of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), and authorization of air strikes against the militants is a reluctant first step in that direction.
No one could have been more pleased to see the arrival of Congress's five-week summer recess than House Speaker John Boehner. It offers a welcome breathing space in the seemingly endless civil war between his Republican caucus's far-right conservatives and its moderate establishment members.
On the day that saw the double whammy of the downing of a Malaysian Airlines over Ukraine and the Israeli invasion of Gaza, President Obama seemed at first conspicuously unengaged for a man customarily regarded as the leader of the "free world."
He had started the day in Delaware making a pitch for more bridge and other infrastructure repair, and then went blithely on to New York for more political fund-raising.
This Independence Day weekend was marked not only by patriotic, flag-waving parades and fireworks. It also features a sharp declaration of independence from Congress by a president frustrated by the legislative headlock its Republican members hold on him.

Swedish Consumer Price Index Prices are collected by Statistics Sweden's enumerators through visits to stores and by telephone or centrally from Statistics Sweden. Price information is collected for the 15th of the month, or during the week that the 15th falls. The sample of representative products and their weights are revised at the beginning of each year. Changes in the composition of consumption are gradually reflected in the CPI through this process. Information from the national accounts about the composition of private consumption (information for three quarters plus the forecast for the fourth quarter) is used as the basis for revising the weights. The CPI is computed as a chain index with annual links. Each annual link measures how much the average price level in the year concerned has changed from the average price level of the preceding year with weights based on the geometric mean of the consumption volumes of the two years concerned. Price changes that could not be included in the calculations during the year are also included in this link. In addition, certain methodological changes and adjustments caused by better statistical information can be taken into account in this link.This index carries the official Swedish CPI data, never revised.

Peugeot Citroen's new air-powered car: Batteries not included
PSA Peugeot Citroen says its new C3 VTi 82 hatchback–which it unveils at a motor show next month–will go 81 miles [per gallon], in optimum conditions. That's compared to the Toyota Prius's roughly 45 mile performance. And there's no need for expensive, and heavy, lithium batteries.

She's not there (She's still here)
From a letter penned in 1993 by my friend Lee, who can now scarcely find words at all.
Steve & I saw Indochine last night. Horrors! I've lost the ability to sit still that long even for La Deneuve. When I left the movie I was saying to Steve that it was remarkable how they handled the time in the movie and this blah blah metaphor for the blah blah relationship between France and Indochina and how leaving the Japs out compressed the blah blah and effectively blah blah. This morning I woke up still thinking about it — or seeing it, really — and there on the screen of my mind was the word SONY. No wonder they left out the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Well, I loved it anyway. A French Gone with the Wind. [April 1993]
Texas Charm and an iPhone
When I was growing up, I was afraid of two things: my mother and Russians. We had to practice duck-and-cover drills, and even as a grade school student I had to swear each year on a form that I was not a communist. I had nightmares of bombs falling from the sky. I still do sometimes, though I know Commies are now a symbol for other threats in my life.
I don't think anybody other than Mitt Romney now thinks Russia is a threat to anybody. I think we mostly feel sorry for them — they seem rather pathetic, don't they? And I don't mean that in a mean way (not even after yesterday). I mean it more in a southern "bless your heart" kind of way. Mean, no — condescending, probably.
By the time my friend Lou Thompson asks the rhetorical question, "I mean really, do I look like I'd start trouble? Just wait before you answer that," I bet you will want to read all the way through to the end of her post from The City Formerly Known as Leningrad, St. Petersburg.

Did you confirm whether session binding is creating issues?
There is a secion in the doc, that discusses this issue: "Session Binding Not Working in An OracleAS Forms Services Configuration" under "Troubleshooting"
3. Re: Using WebCache provide 30% degradation of the application (Forms/Report547713 Apr 20, 2008 12:58 AM (in response to 447554)Hi Einstein,
I am not giving any solution to your issue rather seeking your help.
I have setup 2 Apps servers version (10.1.3.0) apps1.mysite.com:7777 and apps2.mysite.com:7777 and the url for application is as following:
I have installed and setup one webcache version (10.1.2.1) wc.mysite.com:7777
Can you help me how I can configure these two apps servers with webcache. I am very confused with origin server and site definition. I have gone over to some docs but still Dont know how to configure the above apps servers and applications with the webcache. As you have already done it so i am looking some help from you. What to define in Origin Server and what to define in Site Definitions and how I can access my application through webcache.
4. Re: Using WebCache provide 30% degradation of the application (Forms/ReportMichael Armstrong-Smith Apr 21, 2008 10:58 AM (in response to 547713)Hi Naveed
Do you have a copy of my Discoverer 10g Handbook? While pages 803 to 808 specifically discuss setting up Discoverer to run in a load balanced environment using WebCache, I believe the principles are the same for Forms and Reports.
I'm unable to print all of the instructions here because there are too many. However, you've got to go into the WebCache Manager. Typically this is launched from port 4000 as follows:
You'll have to provide a username and password (user = ias_admin) then the option to configure Origin Servers can be found on the left hand side of the screen. Likewise you should also find Site Definitions in the same place.
I hope this helps
Best wishes
Michael Armstrong-Smith

I have 2 assemblies:
Assembly 1:
interface IWeapon {
int Might { get; }
public class Sword : IWeapon {
public int Might {
get { return 10; }
Assembly 2:
interface IWeapon {
int Might { get; }
var catalog = new AssemblyCatalog(typeof(Ninja.Sword).Assembly);
var container = new CompositionContainer(catalog);
// not allowed to use the IWeapon def in assembly 2
var sword = container.GetExportedValue<IWeapon>("sword");
I know how to get this to work. I can either ask the MEF (Managed Extensibility Framework) for the object, or get it to export the correct IWeapon instead of just the object by name.
Can MEF do the "duck" typing for me and return a proxy object if all the interface points are implemented?

Preparation is under way for turning First and Second streets into two-way thoroughfares in downtown.
City crews began working last week to upgrade water lines under the pavement, a first step leading to two-way traffic by this fall or early next year, Jack LaRochelle, city public works director, said Friday.
It makes sense to do the water work now rather than after the streets are repaved and restriped for the change in traffic flows, LaRochelle said.
The City Council approved the return of two-week streets in downtown last year after merchants and property owners said it would help businesses, and public works did a study, which said it would work.
Before First and Second become two-way between Main and Jefferson streets, the city will be removing several traffic lights at Randolph Street intersections and reconstructing curbing at Main Street, LaRochelle said.
Two-way traffic may start late this year if the weather cooperates or next spring, he said.

Unfairly taxed
"Can stores arbitrarily decide what items to charge sales tax on, or are there specific rules laid out by the state?" a reader wrote to me last week. "I have shopped at Walmart and gotten charged for tax on slippers ("that's because you don't really need them" the cashier told me when I complained) and on a newspaper ("that's because we charged so much less than the cover price").
"Last night I bought an item online. At the online checkout, the item's tax was correctly added in, and then the shipping cost. Today, when I received email confirmation, the amount had changed—the tax was on the total cost of the item and the shipping. Can they just arbitrarily do this? And if not, who can I complain to?"
The short answer to both questions is "no." There are detailed rules on what is taxed and what is not taxes and the explanations the reader got are nonsense. Clothing and footwear are exempt from New Jersey sales tax. The only exception is for certain athletic equipment "that is worn only in conjunction with a particular sport." Specificlaly mentioned in the New Jersey Sales Tax guide are sneakers, sandals, steel-toed shoes, footlets, boots and, yes, slippers.
As far as newspapers go, the price has nothing to do with whether or not it is taxed. The tax guide could not be clearer, "The sales of newspapers are exempt from sales tax. Magazines and periodicals sold by subscription are exempt [but] magazines sold as single copies are taxable when sold in printed form." I guess you could have a dispute over whether a publication is a newspaper or a magazine, but that's the only question as far as taxation goes.
As far as sales tax on shipping and handling, here's the rule—and it's not arbitrary: Effective October 1, 2005, "handling charges are included within the definition of delivery charges, and are therefore exempt from tax whether or not they are separately stated to the purchaser." Prior to then, a shipping charge was not subject to New Jersey sales tax, but a separately stated handling charge "could be considered part of the taxable receipt (amount on which sales tax is due) because it occurs prior to actual shipment. However, when 'shipping and handling' charges were billed together, both amounts were considered exempt transportation charges for New Jersey sales tax purposes."
For a full list of what is taxed and what is not, get Bulletin S&U 4 from the Department of Taxation. It's available online at http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/pdf/pubs/sales/su4.pdf.
There are a couple ways to get your money back. A reader with a similar problem sent an email to the merchant with a copy of the regulation attached and got a refund. You might accomplish the same thing by making a printout of the sections of the tax guide that pertains to clothing and newspapers and take them to customer service at Walmart, along with the copy of your receipts (admittedly, a lot of work for a small amount of money). I would also send the information about the overcharging to the Department of the Treasury in Trenton so that state regulators can look into these illegal practices.

Business is looking good for two UCSC students
Fingers were crossed, breaths held in, and nervous smiles exchanged in a silence that seemed to swallow the room. After months of rigorous preparation, seconds separated two UC Santa Cruz students from their $12,000 grand prize.
On Friday evening, May 21, students, faculty and community supporters congregated at Terra Fresca for the final round of UCSC's second annual Business Plan Competition. Founded last year by a group of students in collaboration with faculty members, the competition aims to promote and fund innovative entrepreneurship among UCSC students. This year, the competition began in March with more than 30 submissions of executive summaries.

Lee-Barrett Pleased to Be Playing After Up and Down Season
Tuesday, 14th Feb 2012 14:00
Keeper Arran Lee-Barrett has reflected on what is proving to be a topsy-turvy campaign with no lack of competition for the Town first team berth.
Despite England squad man David Stockdale (Fulham) and Alex McCarthy (Reading) both arriving at Portman Road on loan, as well as Richard Wright returning for a third spell with the club, Lee-Barrett has clocked up 10 appearances.
The Ipswich-born keeper, who is contracted until June 2013, said: "On a personal note I am very pleased to be playing. It has been up and down with patches where I've played and others where I've been out of the team. But it's a squad game and everyone at the club is important."
Asked how he reacted upon hearing the news that McCarthy had been signed on loan, Lee-Barrett admitted: "It was disappointing but you just have to keep going."
And when the conversation turned to the possibility of a new loan defender being recruited to fill the gap caused by Sonko's absence, the goalkeeper commented: "I think we've got a couple of good defenders in Damo and Tommy.
"But if the manager wants to bring someone in that's his decision. Any player joining us will find it's a good dressing room to come into. We're all together and we'll welcome him.
"It's been great for confidence winning our last two games and collecting the points to move up the table. I feel we have done well in our last four games and it was nice to see us taking that into Saturday's game against Middlesbrough."

Just-discovered court documents 'are a living part of history'Breaking News
"It gives you a sense of perspective on humanity," said Durham Clerk of Superior Court Archie Smith, who recently found the yellowing, timeworn documents while rummaging around his office area.
"These papers exhibit the full gamut of human emotions," he added. "They prove that two age-old sources of conflict applied back then, just as they do now. I call them the nances: romances and finances. It seems like the more things change, the more they stay the same."
Normally an ebullient man, Smith is transported to new heights of enthusiasm when talking about his precious discovery.
"Any person sensitive to history will treasure this," he said. "These papers are superb vignettes of life as it was lived long ago. They are tangible, physical monuments to the past, a living part of history. They can't be duplicated."
The documents are written in longhand script and bound together with straight pins and various other fasteners from the days before staples.
A few of the papers are in faded envelopes with 2-cent stamps still attached. Back then, the fee for filing a civil complaint was $18, compared to at least $70 today. Witnesses in 1883 were paid 5 cents a mile for travel to and from the courthouse.
And when someone wanted a divorce on grounds of adultery or any other complaint, he or she had to take the case before a jury -- a requirement that vanished decades ago.

Scientists Hope To Attract Millions To "DNA.LAND" (nature.com) 32
An anonymous reader writes: Started by computational geneticist Yaniv Erlich, and geneticist Joseph Pickrell at the New York Genome Center and Columbia University in New York, DNA.Land is a project which hopes to create a crowdsourced DNA database for genetic studies. Nature reports: "The project, DNA.LAND, aims to entice people who have already had their genomes analyzed by consumer genetics companies to share that data, allowing DNA.LAND geneticists to study the information. Although some consumer genetic-testing companies share data with researchers, they provide only aggregate information about their customers, not individual genomes. Because the data are not always accompanied by detailed information on patients' health, they are of limited use for drawing links between genes and disease."

Quito (PRWEB) September 19, 2013
On Tuesday September 17, 2013, the Arbitration Tribunal hearing the matter brought by Chevron Corporation and Texaco Petroleum Company against the Ecuadorian State issued a partial award in which it decided certain issues related to Chevron-Texaco's claim that the Republic allegedly breached the Settlement Agreement signed in 1995, in relation with third-party environmental claims against Chevron.
In its decision, the Tribunal –constituted under the UNCITRAL Rules– agreed with the Ecuadorian legal defense in finding that the aforementioned Settlement Agreement did not preclude the Lago Agrio plaintiffs from asserting claims "in respect of their own individual rights". According to the Tribunal, the Agreement refers to claims that Ecuador might raise in the exercise of their own rights and not to claims by third parties acting independently from the state in the exercise of their individual rights.
The Tribunal, however, found that the 1995 Settlement Agreement barred third parties from asserting "diffuse" or "collective" claims, as these would have been the subject of the release conferred by the Government at the time.
In this regard, the Tribunal expressly declined to address at this time the question whether the claim of the Lago Agrio plaintiffs sought the vindication of their individual rights or diffuse rights, or both.
Although the Tribunal concluded that Chevron is a "releasee" under the Agreement referred above, it rejected oil company's argument that the Agreement contained an implicit "hold harmless&q

Color palette: September 2015
I'm posting a new palette each month for a year. This is September's palette. It was inspired by the photograph below.
Here are all nine palette posts so far.
Cut by Occam
I'm posting a new palette each month for a year. This is September's palette. It was inspired by the photograph below.
Here are all nine palette posts so far.
A crummy user experience is rarely caused by a single overarching problem. Major issues are usually discovered and remedied in the design and development phases (but not always).
Most of the time, a crummy user experience is the result of many smaller but still grating issues that cause friction, fatigue, frustration and, eventually, failure. These are the thousand cuts of a bad user experience: broken buttons, confusing labels, outdated content, unhelpful error messages, and so on.
"The details are not the details. They make the design."—Charles Eames
Most organizations, however, are perpetually in Projects and Initiatives mode, not fix-it mode. They're chasing the enticing shiny ball, and ignoring all the broken toys strewn around the play room. They're so focused on What's Next that they're building mountains of tech and product debt.
The recent, enthusiastic embrace of the MVP as a preferred means of releasing products and services isn't helping things: before they've made their minimally viable products more viable, organizations are on to the next initiative, leaving frustrated users in their wake.
My advice? Eat your own dog food; I'm constantly amazed how few people use the stuff they offer others. Do frequent user observation and testing. Listen to your customer support team. Scrutinize your analytics for abandonment points. Keep an eye on social media. Dedicate time and resources to regular housekeeping.
Most of all: have pride in what you do. If you're comfortable with lots of little failures, you probably deserve the inevitable big failure that's surely headed your way.
Most of the design work I've created in the past 20+ years — apps, websites, software — has disappeared. Vanished. Never to be seen again. If I had to guess, I'd say less than 5% is still around.
Design in the digital age is fickle. I'm certain that all or nearly all of my work will be gone just a few years after my last project has launched. I'm okay with that.
I don't mind making things that people use for just a moment. It's design that's meant to be consumed and forgotten. The lasting artifact, if any, is what my work helped them accomplish.
Did my work help someone learn something, or complete a meaningful goal? If so, then those short-lived pixels were put to good use.
I'm not alone, by the way: all digital designers, which is most designers today, create ephemera, work that's so transient it disappears the moment the power goes out or someone forgets to pay the hosting bill.
It's okay. Let the pixels die. But before they die, make sure they lived well.
We'd like to tell you that our redesigned logo is a sign of our renewed commitment to our core brand attributes of innovation, integrity, and service. We'd hope to say that our new logo builds upon our unique heritage, but also allows us to take a bold new step forward into a future that requires greater adaptability and innovation than ever before.
We hope that you'll see that our new logo represents both solidity and movement, steadfastness and adaptability, and sends a clear signal that we're building on our long-established history while opening the next exciting chapter of our brand story.
But the truth is that we just got tired of the old logo the same way you wake up one day and decide it's time to paint the bathroom. Also, our biggest competitor recently refreshed their logo and got a lot of press for it.
Plus, the marketing team was recently criticized for not "moving the needle" enough in Q3.
That's why we recently solicited bids from some of the most prestigious branding and identity agencies in the world. After weeks of thoughtful due diligence, we selected a creative partner we felt would be able to interpret the spirit — the very essence — of who we are as an organization, and manifest that in a brand identity that reflected us in a way that was fresh, unique, and yet somehow familiar.
And in fact our agency partner delivered above and beyond our wildest expectations. Too much so, in fact. The work they developed was just a little too fresh, a little too innovative, and maybe not quite familiar enough.
So after all was said and done, we ended up settling on a logo that was designed by Sue in Accounting. And we're damn proud of it.
I'm posting a new palette each month for a year. This is August's palette. It was inspired by the photograph below.
Here are all eight palette posts so far.

Did our review for this title help you decide to do any of the following?
Submitted by johnwilliams on
Jump to navigation
Parents need to know that Hildegard Sings is a lighthearted and funny interactive book starring Hildegard Rhineheffer, a hippo who dreams of becoming an opera star. When Hilda loses her voice on the eve of her big debut, readers must help her overcome her stage fright through a variety of simple activities that involve dragging and tapping the screen. An iPhone version is also available for $.99.
HILDEGARD SINGS offers kids appealing watercolor illustrations and a humorous story that spoofs famous operas like "Madame Butterfly" ("Madame Butterball"), and "The Magic Flute" ("The Magic Snute.") Each page has an interactive element, like dragging food into Hilda's mouth (she loves eating almost as much as singing), popping bubbles in a bathtub, or raising the curtain to reveal the performers on-stage. There isn't as much interactivity as some other book apps, but the actions complement the lighthearted story nicely.

This will be my first shower and was wondering if someone could
explain what to expect. I know the max will be 8/12-13. Before then,
will we see gradually improving conditions? During the max, are there
any special operating procedures or events?

- In my experience, Bill, focussing on these these major showers (Perseids,
Leonids, etc) is somewhat folly when using high speed meteor scatter
techniques, whether that's FSK441, high speed CW, or whatever else. They
are more beneficial for traditional slow speed MS usage (rapid-break SSB
and handsent CW). The burns tend to be notably longer, lasting several to
tens of seconds where you can often make several separate complete
contacts in each burn and the 30 or 60 second sequences used in high speed
techniques then actually tend to hinder rather than help.
Having said that, they can be useful for making possible the really long
haul MS contacts (at or beyond 1400 miles or so) or when trying to
complete contacts on frequency bands above two metres.
The above holds true IMHO at least during the peak of the shower.
I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here but high speed MS techniques such
as FSK441 and HSCW are most effective during the other 350+ days of the
year when there aren't any major showers in effect. You really can work
REAL DX on 144MHz via meteor scatter every day of the year. Admittedly
