Camras Optical
We're an ophthalmic medical device company with an innovative way of treating the second leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world. Our device, under the inventors name, has been featured at numerous conferences and textbooks. We wish to bring this device out into the market because we feel, based on results so far, that we can actually stop the blindness that results from glaucoma.
The original intent of this device was not to make money (though I'd be lying if that's not a nice benefit) but rather to make an impact and potentially revolutionize the way people are treated for glaucoma and other eye-related diseases. The original inventor of the device was a leading figure in this industry and developed the common treatment for glaucoma today which has saved millions of people's vision.
Our target audience is doctors, specifically ophthalmologists. Doctors will come to this site to gather information about the device, support, and contact info. In addition, patients might also come to this site to understand their options.
We have an idea of what we would like, but it's not limited to just this. If you have something in mind let's work with that as I would like to be involved in the creation of this logo with you.
When you look at our name it's clear that people may be aware of our mission which is to save people's sight. I wish for people to be aware of that. One consideration is that we have a logo that is an eye. The problem is that most eye companies have this. What we were thinking is an eye, but with an abstract design, something similar to java's design (java.com) in that they use wisps of lines to form a coffee cup. We were thinking of that for ours so that it would form an eye. The design should be like the device, clean, crisp, and simple.
The colors should be blue or green or a mixture of the two.
We would like to incorporate the name of the company somehow. We are thinking the logo would go to the left of the name with the name Camras above Optical. If that is the way you wish to proceed then we would need suggestions on the font for the name. If you wish to just incorporate just the name Camras in the logo then that would work as well and it can be a stand alone logo.
Again, if you have a vision, no pun intended, for the logo already, let's see what you have and we can work with it. I'm really excited to hear and see what all of you have to offer and I look forward to working with you.

As word spread about his handmade sausages, a proper butcher shop was opened in 1965. Since then new generations have fallen in love with Stripling's traditional, honest products.

As part of a continuous effort to improve my organization (a.k.a. not lose stuff) I have finally set up Subversion at home. If you are not familiar with Subversion it is an open source version control system used (mostly) by developers to keep up with changes to their codebase.
I've spent most of my career as kind of a "one man team" where I have been responsible for all phases of development and maintenance of code. However, I was exposed to Subversion when I contracted briefly last year in a multi-developer environment. I made a mental note at that time to revisit Subversion at a later date.
At last that date has come…
Subversion is now running at home on an old Gateway pc that I recently "upgraded" from XP to Ubuntu. I'm a total newbie with Linux, but I'll be posting some on it in the future. Thanks to this tutorial the process was ridiculously easy (less than 5 minutes).
The next step was to get an SVN client. My previous exposure to Subversion was in the Windows world so we used TortoiseSVN. I have a PowerBook and an iMac at home though so I hunted down scplugin which integrates with Mac Finder the way TortoiseSVN integrates with Windows Explorer.
Now I just have to get all my code checked in.

Hi guys -
I was poking around on the new BBS site, and thought, "I'll see what they say in the About Us" link...
I got CHILLS by the time I got to the bottom, with your joint (no puns intended!) picture, fading into the snow and road, "Keep heading in the right direction"... awesome. No, beyond awesome! You two are truly pioneers that are also "ahead of your time". I'm so grateful for being part of your/our world, in shifting into a higher, more rational, intelligent, caring and loving vibration!
And so it is.
Warm and bright wishes,
~Lance W.
PS: It's fun to see what Seth and all look like too! Very nice work...beautifully done. And that IS a huge compliment, coming from a nit picking Virgo!

Connect the dots to reveal the humanity within your data.
Putting data management at the core of your marketing turns touchpoints into intelligence.
Centralised, structured data control.
A DMP aggregates first-party data from point of sale, CRM, web, email and other sources, so you can deliver consistent messaging across your channels. A DMP helps ensure all your teams are working with the same audience models and providing a consistent experience.
Identity management across teams.
You can seamlessly manage identities across devices, enabling you to deliver deeper personalisation. A DMP allows you to link profiles to devices so you have a 360-degree view of your customers and the devices they use to interact with your brand.
Audience modelling for new opportunities.
Find similarities among cohorts that will enable you to discover look-alike audiences and reach new customers by using the insights and behaviours of your best customers.
Data monetisation.
Collecting, organising and selling first-party audience data adds value to your enterprise by turning your investment in analytics into additional revenue streams.
Shifting to better audience targeting with Adobe's data management platform.
Leading brands harness data with Audience Manager to improve experiences and optimise campaigns.
"We have a lot of different teams that want to use data. There is so much more opportunity when you can connect [our DMP] to our web team, our email teams."

Director of Brand Marketing, Princess Cruises

"Living up to what the consumer expects of us is challenging. Being able to identify people wouldn't have been possible without Adobe Audience Manager. The response has been fantastic."

Data management platform FAQ.
Which team at my organisation should oversee the DMP?
It will vary by organisation, but often the DMP is managed by a marketing team in close collaboration with cross-functional stakeholders, which may include IT, customer insights, product management or business development teams.
Does Adobe's DMP integrate with third-party solutions?
Yes. Adobe Audience Manager has robust server-to-server integrations with leading solutions, including third-party data providers and data activation partners.
Can a DMP help expand our audience targeting?
Yes. Through look-alike modelling, you're able to identify additional prospects who should be treated like high-value customers.
Should we put a data governance policy in place before implementing a DMP solution?
Yes. To make the most out of your investment, it's important to create data governance policies before implementing a DMP or in parallel with implementation. This ensures alignment between stakeholders so appropriate data is utilised by Audience Manager.
How do I discover audiences with Adobe Analytics?
Adobe Audience Manager has unmatched integrations with Adobe Experience Cloud that allow you to send high-value audience data to the DMP for enrichment and share that enriched data for activation across all your channels.
What are the top security considerations for a DMP?
You want complete visibility and control when you're ingesting data, activating data and managing permissions for users.

Richard Stallman Calls Ubuntu "Spyware"
new posts
Originally posted by peperoni View PostI think he should have told that Windows, OS X, iOS, Android and Ubuntu are all spyware.
Stallman?s comment is by definition not FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt). There is absolutely no uncertainty that Ubuntu sends without any doubt the user?s search terms to Canonical.
Canonical even openly stated to calm the crowd that they get the search terms, not Amazon.
Originally posted by locovaca View PostYour definition of Spyware is misguided. Spyware is simply software that reports back to an outside entity your actions without your explicit consent.
Identity theft, blackmail, etc. doesn't play into it.
Originally posted by Awesomeness View PostIndeed. Spyware is not always also malware. Ubuntu in its default config is spyware and adware. That's a fact and nothing to fight about. Either you don't care any happily use Ubuntu with that option still turned on or you care and simply don't use Ubuntu.
most linux nerds who support the amazon ads entirely miss the point. the problem is not that its inconvenient, but that it is EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY distasteful. its the same reason that terminal is not pinned to the taskbar by default, you don't want to look like you are stuck in 1970s. the ads essentially made ubuntu look like a clown OS, even though the stupid brown toy theme already made it look like a mentally retarded version of osx.
people who want FREEDOM also should avoid the FSF. Because they don't care about FREEDOM. They care about their agenda.
I want to be free and install non gpl, non mit, non bsd licenced software on MY computer. FSF wants to take that away from me.

Stallman again is right as ever.

[QUOTE=Rallos Zek;300302]Stallman again is right as ever. [QUOTE]
Stallman is an idiot, full stop.
This is the same guy who opposes Steam on Linux because playing closed proprietary games with DRM is evil and unethical.
Once again he has proven himself to be completely clueless to what most people WANT to do on their computers. People want software and application, not licenses.
If this luddite really cares about user freedom he should just shut up about people installing non-free software on a free operating system.
Linux users complain about commercial software vendors not offering Linux versions of their software, and when said vendor actually takes the trouble to provide a Linux port, they get flamed because their software is not FOSS.
Case in point:
- AMD did not support Linux with binary blobs until recently. FOSS cried foul that Linux was not suppoted
- AMD released buggy fglrx. FOSS cried foul that the drivers were subpar
- AMD improved fglrx greatly. FOSS cried foul because the closed nature of fglrx prevented them from leaching code that could be used for the free Radeon driver
- AMD released specifications for graphics chipsets. FOSS cried foul because those specifications were 'insufficient'...and they can't even get RadeonSI working properly after alll the noise they make
- Nvidia produces an impressive binary driver for Linux which is updated to support newer versions of xserver much faster than AMD. FOSS cried foul because they cannot steal code from the Nvidia driver to improve their really subpar Nouveau driver
If the FOSS community is so capable, why can't they do everything without crying foul on how they cannot leech code from proprietary sources? Or rather, why do they even have to create 'alternatives' to popular commercial software instead of thinking up of those programs themselves right from the get go? Case in point:
- Adobe KNOWS that people need creative tools like sophisticated video editors and image editing software (think Creative Suite). So did Sony (Vegas), Apple (Final Cut + Aperture) and Pinnacle (Pinnacle Studio), among many others. Why did it take so long for FOSS to come out with GIMP and a bunch of crappy excuses for non-linear video editors a whole decade AFTER Adobe, Apple, Sony and Pinnacle already entrenched themselves in the creative market?
A developer community which has no idea of what today's users actually need to do on a computer has no right to tell people what they should/should not do. Period.
Somebody should steal RMS's passport and netbook again so that he can't post anything for another month or two. Then I'll laugh in his face and proclaim about how his stuff have been claimed by the Free Baggage Foundation, whose goals are to ensure that everybody's baggage and property are supposed to be free for anybody to take.
EDIT: Yes, I use tons of non-free software on my copy of Fedora. Intel's proprietary wifi firmware, Microsoft's Skype, Microsoft's proprietary Office 2007 fonts, Opera browser, Nvidia's drivers, proprietary codecs, etc etc, and nobody, not even Stallman, can tell me that this is wrong. I, and I ALONE, decide what's right for my use. Even if it means spitting in the face of FOSS.Last edited by Sonadow; 12-08-2012, 02:15 AM.

We haven't gotten decent images yet, but if you missed it, Vitor Meira, who returned to the field after a near-flambe, got tangled with Raphael Matos, his car flipped backwards, landed on its side pod and slid along the wall for about a quarter mile before landing upright. Unbelievable.
The two were successfully extracted from their cars with Matos getting out all by himself, Meira seemed to be beaten up a bit more and walked to the ambulance assisted, he's since been taken to an area hospital complaining of lower back pain. The two cars struck the Safer Barrier so hard it needed some new plates welded in place. We'll have video of the crash as soon as we can because this is one you have to see to believe.
Meanwhile the competition has narrowed to only 23 from the starting field of 33 and Helio Castroneves maintains his lead while Danica Patrick has just snapped up second place. Naturally, the announcers are flipping out at the prospect of a win from Patrick. Ten laps to go folks.

Firstly, thanks for an awesome emulator.
I noticed in some games (Cybercon III, in this instance) that once you save a memory snapshot, the sound is slightly corrupted, like some frequencies are missing (if that makes any sense)?
I've tried re-starting SainT, and the sound works fine when you load up a disk from the beginning, but when loading a memory snapshot, the sound quality is quite bad.
I've tried turning the sound options on and off but no success.

The Chronic-Dev Team has released "Absinthe" which so far is the easiest jailbreaking software I've come across. I did 3 jailbreaks yesterday on the 4S, IOS 5.0.1 in under 10 minutes (not that I was timing it, it's just a snap). I also did a 4, IOS 5 using RedSn0w and the main difference is with Absinthe you don't have to put your phone into DFU mode and you don't need itunes up, it does it all. Once it's done running you'll have an app on your phone named 'absinthe'. just tap it to finish the jailbreak. Viola! Absinthe is out for Mac and Windows with a Linux version on the way.
I'll stick with my rooted Samsung Epic 4G with CyanogenMod 7 ROM though

I went through the photos from three and four years ago, and here are a few favorites from summer's past.
And here's are photos from last year, so Ziggy isn't left out of any old photo fun.
There are some photos I think we must recreate this year, assuming I can get willing participation.
I would so love a re-do of the pillow on Magpie's head, the Uncle and Kelly leg lift, and Ziggy and his tie-wearing, stroller pushing walk on the boardwalk.
And of course, we'll be taking old timey photos like this one of Ziggy from last year.
Happy July Fourth!!
If you're looking for craft and cooking ideas for celebrating the Fourth of July, or random photos of my family celebrating the holiday, check out the July Fourth archive.
This is my weekly installment of Old Photo Friday. If you have an old photo of your own to share, leave a comment below and I'll come by and visit!


text: Though both Raul "Alexis" Ortiz and Joel "Fido" Martinez were active in the Puerto Rican reggaeton scene since they were teenagers, they didn't join forces until 2001 on the compilation Desafio. There was room for only one track, and both wanted to be included, so together they made "El Nalgazo," which ended up doing well on Puerto Rican radio. They decided to continue on as a duo, getting their name out to the public by contributing songs to various compilations and mixtapes, including the regional hit "El Tiburon" on Luny Tunes' Mas Flow, Vol. 2. Nicknamed Los Pitbulls for their tendency to bark while performing, Alexis & Fido released the aptly titled The Pitbulls in 2005. The record was a success, hitting number four on the Top Latin Albums chart and even making it into the Billboard 200. The following year, Los Reyes del Perreo, a collection of nine of their biggest songs plus five new ones, came out. ~ Marisa Brown

San Francisco Assessor-Recorder Phil Ting announced Thursday that the value of the city's real estate grew by nearly $2 billion in the past fiscal year, a contrast to decreasing property values in most other parts of California.
The total roll assessment value, a combination of residential and commercial property values, grew by 1.3 percent to $163 billion during the fiscal year that ended June 30.
"We're very, very fortunate in San Francisco," Ting said. "We still have the strongest real estate market in the state."
He said many homeowners are still worried about the real estate market but predicted "we're going to see a continued resurgence" in the coming years.
Daniel Cressman, executive vice president of the commercial real estate company Grubb & Ellis, said the value of the city's commercial properties are doing particularly well.
San Francisco is "one of the very few markets in the entire country where investment demand for commercial office space is far outstripping the available supply that's for sale," Cressman said.
That has led to property value increases of up to 40 percent in recent years, he said.
John Lee, the former president of the San Francisco Association of Realtors, said the residential market is not doing as well, particularly for middle-class homeowners.
"People worried about jobs can't commit to a long-term financial obligation," Lee said.
He said, "I think the worst is behind us," but predicted the next few years for the market will probably be about the same as the past one.About 18,800 owners of single-family homes received a one-year temporary reduction last year in the assessed value of their properties, saving them a combined $27 million in taxes, Ting said.

The Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper needed lengthy treatment after diving at the feet of the striker Romelu Lukaku during the second half of the goalless draw at Goodison Park.
Brad Friedel looked ready to come on as Lloris was led off the field but the Frenchman appeared to argue for the right to play on. Villas-Boas said: "Hugo still doesn't recall everything about the incident. It was a very difficult moment for us and I am happy he is well.
"I made the call to keep him on the pitch because of the signs he was giving. He was determined to continue and looked concentrated, driven and focused enough for me not to make the call to replace him. The saves he did after the incident proved that right."
The Spurs manager issued a staunch defence of his side's goals' record this season as they missed the chance to go second in the Premier League.
The draw means Spurs have scored only nine league goals this season – three of them penalties. Only Hull have scored fewer among the top 10 teams in the Premier League. Villas-Boas bristled at the post-match questions over his team's lack of penetration and pointed to a return of 30 goals from 17 matches in all competitions – including 15 in the Europa League and six in the Capital One Cup – as evidence of a functioning cutting edge.
"I don't think it is dramatic," he said. "We are on 30 goals in 17 games and it is the second highest ever at the club at this stage so I don't worry about that. Hull are sitting 10th and we are fourth. The chances are coming and sometimes they go your way and the opponent is not there to stop it. The team is creating more chances and more shots. I can carry on about all the good statistics and others can carry on about all the negative statistics and the debate will go nowhere.
"At the moment it is results that have put us in fourth and in one of the spots for the Champions League. You can have more goals, less goals. We all want excitement but right now the team is doing extremely well."
He conceded his team should have been more clinical during a dominant first-half display. "I am not disappointed with that result. In the end it was a good result and the only time Everton had a good go at us was in the last 25 to 30 minutes. We had a very good game and could have been a bit more clinical.
"I am still happy with the team, but because of what Everton did in the final stages it was a fair result. We couldn't be more happy with the players. They pressed well and had great motivation. There was a lot at stake for both teams with the chance to go second and I think we did extremely well."
Villas-Boas accepted the referee, Kevin Friend, was correct not to award a penalty when Jan Vertonghen fell under a Seamus Coleman challenge in the first half and again when the roles were reversed in the second half. "There was minimal contact," he said. Everton's manager, Roberto Martínez, however, believed Vertonghen should have been punished for his touch on the defender.
"They tell you decisions level themselves out over a season but it doesn't happen," Martínez said. "We had a similar situation at Villa and at the Etihad [Stadium]. Seamus gets impeded. He doesn't over-react, he gets back on his feet and it should have been a penalty."

Spam (the computing term) has several definitions according to context but they are all derogatory.
In-game spam Edit
- Sending an overly repeated message or large useless quantity of text in a Chat channel. Also known as Spamming. Players often "spam" the Trade channel with multiple copies of the same message in order to get their message seen. This can be reported to Blizzard by using the "Report Spam" button when right-clicking a player's name in the chat box.
- In an attempt to get members for raids or Achievement runs, players may spam, at set intervals, LFM or LFG requests. They may also spam WTB/WTS messages, or crafting services they may be able to give a player (such as Blacksmithing or Jewelcrafting). As long as this is not overly done, these types of spams are considered acceptable because of the nature of Trade chat and how fast some messages fly by in the channels.
- In-game whispers of "spammers" advertising gold farming services, power leveling services, etc. to a large number of people anywhere in Azeroth or Outland. Spammers may also utilize the in-game mail system as another medium of advertising their services.
- Repeatedly using the same spell or ability in combat. A fire Mage might be accused of "spamming Scorch", a Shaman of "spamming Frost Shock" or a Druid of "spamming Moonfire". Spammed spells are usually instant cast or have a low cast time.
Popular spamming subjects Edit
- Dirge: The level 70 dagger [Dirge] is generally the first thing one may think of when you think of people spamming the general or trade chat. Different servers however will use different items. Some older servers use [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker] instead. Unlike Anal, only a single item is used for this type of spam.
- Gold Farmers: As their name implies, sell gold to players. They generally advertise on level one characters (generally orcs or humans (often the most populated towns of the horde/alliance)). Most gold sellers have names made up from random letters (Hbvfwaer, Hyeftr, etc.) Both purchasing and selling gold or other in-game items using real-world currency is explicitly against the Blizzard Terms of Use and can result in bans and legal action by Blizzard.
- The market for the newly introduced [WoW Token], which can be purchased for $20 on the in-game Battle.net Shop and sold on the Auction House for a set amount of gold per server,[citation needed] has cut down on the Gold Farmers spamming.
- Anal spam: This is becoming more prominent on Trade channels. Unlike [Dirge], there are many different spells and items that could be used with it, varying wildly from "Anal [Dirge]" to "Anal [Herbalism]". More recently, even achievements will be used, such as "Anal Professional Grand Master"
- Chuck Norris facts: Recently, this has not been a problem but some realms still have an onslaught of Chuck Norris jokes in General chat.
History and origin Edit
The term "spam" comes from a Monty Python sketch where patrons order from a menu where nearly every course rattled off contains SPAM, a type of processed meat. At several points, they are interrupted by vikings singing the praise of SPAM. This joke itself is a reference to the exclusion of SPAM from World War II rationing regulations, implying many British citizens likely became sick of eating SPAM.
Spam has been used as the butt of jokes for many years. Comedian Jeff Foxworthy described Spam (the food) as, "Stuff Posing As Meat."
Note that "SPAM" is a registered trademark of a type of processed meat. Lowercase "spam", or "Spam" with the first letter capitalized, is what we use when talking about pointless and/or unwanted text.

He was once a powerful king, but the powers that be judged him unfit, he was cast out to wander the desert, alone and unloved. Then, lo, by a miracle he was lifted up, cleansed of his sins and reborn a new and decent caring man who will carry the message of helping the poor and tending the sick in his heart and on his lips for all time. We're talking of course about Charlie Crist, former governor of Florida and now a former Republican:
Slate — If you're going to become a Democrat, is there a better place to make the long-awaited shift final than at the White House? That's exactly what former Republican Florida governor Charlie Crist did Friday night when he signed the papers to change his party affiliation from independent to Democrat at a Christmas reception held at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. And he got a celebratory fist bump from President Obama himself, reports the Tampa Bay Times. "What changed is the leadership of the Republican party," Crist said Friday night. "As I said at the convention, I didn't leave the Republican party, it left me. Whether the issue was immigration, or education, or you name it—the environment. I feel at home now."
Oh, that hurt. A bearded man making the switch at the White House in cahoots with the Kenyan Usurper in Chief.

This fall, traditional rich tones get an update — they are going matte. Possibly the coolest, most wearable trend I spotted backstage at New York Fashion Week — nails were decidedly un-shiny. Matte black, navy and burgundy polishes were shown at Nonoo, Karen Walker, Tibi and Rebecca Taylor. Deborah Lippmann featured the. most. gorgeous. matte color at the Honor show using a new formula with a shade called Harem Silks From Bombay — unfortunately it's so hot-off-the-presses it won't be available until the end of the year (I know, I know, that feels like forever). But don't worry, you can still get the look now. Lippmann suggests using a combo of:
Deborah Lippmann Nail Color in Dark Side of the Moon, $17, and Deborah Lippmann Nail Color in Wicked Game, $17,
Top with her ultra-matte topcoat Deborah Lippmann Flat Top, $20
Here are a few other awesome matte top coats to try and get the effect:
Essie Matte About You Finisher, $10
Rescue Beauty Lounge Matte Top Coat, $18
What do you think? Shiny or matte?

Coach Johnson necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 38 diseños de 8 diseñadores freelance.
If drawing people is your skill, then this contest if for you. I'm soon to launch a blog that will have two characters. Looking for something fun and creative, nothing too real, but nothing too fake. Need full body characters in multiple poses.
What's up everyone? First off, thank you for taking the time to explore this contest. This is my third contest here on 99 Designs and the first two have been awesome! Looking forward to some more great work this time around.
I'm in need of two characters for my upcoming leadership coaching website/blog. I run a leadership coaching site that targets young business professionals between the ages of 18 and 28. Part of what will set our content apart is the interactive manner in which we will deliver it (podcast, video, webinar, etc.). But for the times where we use traditional text, we want to create characters that visitors can establish a connection or relationship with. We will have several characters down the road, but will start with two for now. Here is a little information on both!
I'd like both characters to have kind of a cartoon look to them but not too fake. Characters should be warm and inviting, big smiles, no matter what position you draw them in. And both characters should appear neat, clean, and well dressed.
The first character will actually be me. I've uploaded some pictures of me as I would like the character to resemble me as much as possible.
Here are my features:
Ethnicity: African American
Hair Color: Black
Hair Type: Low fade/buzz
Facial Hair: Goatee (sideburns down to ear)
Skin Color: Light skin
Attire: suit and tie
Build: Tall and athletic
Age: 25
I would like this character (Coach Johnson) to be a full figure character and I'd like to see him in at least three different poses, all in which he will be smiling and look inviting. I'll let you explore here, but here are some character positions that would interest me:
1) natural standing pose
2) sitting down at a desk
3) standing speaking into a microphone
4) standing pointing (kind of like the Uncle Sam look)
5) standing and looking like giving a speech (maybe even behind a podium)
6) maybe smiling with a wink or thumbs up
7) standing in front of a blank projection screen like presenting (I could put my logo there)
The second character needs to be an older gentlemen between the ages of 60 and 70. This character is going to be the old wise man who gives good advice. There will be a section of my site that gives a quote of the day and this is the guy who will give it and explain it.
Here are his features:
Ethnicity: White
Hair Color: Grey
Hair Type: Balding
Facial Hair: None
Skin Color: Tan
Attire: Suit and tie
Build: Short and chubby
Age: 65
I would also like this character to be a full figure character and would like to see him in two positions. Feel free to try any of my suggestions from above or come up with your own here.
Please note I'm asking for a character set here. I've seen some great sets on this site. At least two positions for the old guy and at least three for the younger one. Feel free to submit more if you like, it may help you in the case of a tie breaker!
If you have any questions please feel free to send me a comment at any time! Happy designing!
The description is pretty detailed, I'd just tie in to make the characters large enough that I can resize them later. Vector images would be nice so they don't blur if I stretch them.
Would REALLY like the Coach Johnson character to look alot like me so here are some links to pics of me!
Nothing copied from another site, be totally original.
Nothing too fake or cheesy looking, want it to be a balance between reality and cartoonish.

Transfer Admission Requirements
Applicants must present a record of academic achievement that indicates the ability to do successful work at CMC. There is no minimum gpa required for admission. Nor is there any gpa which will guarantee admission. However, we recommend that applicants have a college gpa of at least 3.3. The Admission Committee also considers factors such as course selection, reasons for transfer, recommendations, extracurricular involvement, writing ability and personal circumstances. Interviews are available for students who have questions about the admission process.
It is advisable that you meet with your college representative early in the transfer process to ensure that courses will transfer to CMC and meet the general education requirements. A grade lower than a "C" will not earn transfer credit at CMC.
CMC requires 32 courses for a Bachelor of Arts degree and you must complete 16 courses while at CMC. Four courses per semester is the normal load. To convert semester units into CMC's course equivalency, divide the number of transferable units by four (e.g., 64 transferable units divided by 4 equals 16 courses). To convert quarter units into CMC course equivalency, divide the transferable units by 6. There is no minimum number of units needed for transfer.

In its first public announcement since the federal budget sequestration, Tobyhanna Army Depot unveiled $309 million of budget cuts that will result in furloughs of 5,136 civilian employees.
Facility managers and the unions are working on the details of the furlough, in which the 5,136 employees will be required to take 22 non-consecutive furlough days between late April and Sept. 30 unless the federal budget impasse in Washington, D.C., is solved.
The cut to the depot's funding amounts to 35 percent of its total operating budget.
"Everyone is concerned," said depot spokeswoman Jacqueline Boucher. "But everyone is resolved to continue to support the warfighter."
Just about everyone is affected, as well. While there are some exemptions to sequestration, it will hit nearly all civilian employees, up to Deputy Commander Frank Zardecki, the top civilian at the depot, Boucher said.
The depot is the U.S. military's primary facility for the repair and maintenance of communications and electronics equipment. It is also an economic cornerstone of Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Sequestration has already had an impact, as the depot on March 1 accepted early retirement of 150 employees under the Voluntary Early Retirement Authority and the Voluntary Separation Incentive Payment programs. Under a hiring freeze, the depot will not fill those positions. The depot has also restricted the purchase of supplies, limited travel, and put off plans to modernize or upgrade depot facilities and equipment.
In Monroe County, the depot is a major component of the region's economy, ranking as one of the largest employers in Lackawanna, Luzerne, Monroe and Pike county residents, most of which are skilled and better paid than average area workers.
Teri Ooms, executive director of the Institute for Public Policy and Economic Development, said the announcement is not only bad news for the families involved, but for the communities in which they live.
"These families are living in a time when prices of the basic necessities have climbed and now they are hit with a large loss of income," she said. "Beyond those households, this will have a ripple effect - direct and induced economic impacts - as people making less spend less on everything from retail, to services and entertainment."
The depot is awaiting further guidance, Boucher said.
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey said the indiscriminate cuts the sequester forced on an essential military support facility don't make sense.
Meanwhile, Chuck Leonard, executive director of the Pocono Mountain Economic Development Corp., is waiting to see how bad the cuts in payroll and purchasing impact the region's economy.
"It seems crazy we are in this situation," Leonard said. "I hope it doesn't last and that there is some sort of resolution."
In an address last week, Depot Commander Col. Gerhard P.R. Schröter asked depot employees to remain focused.
"I know this issue has been weighing on all of us," he said. "Our warfighters continue to rely on Tobyhanna and they deserve our finest efforts everyday."

American chemist
Linus Carl Pauling was born in Portland, Oregon, on February 28, 1901, to Herman and Lucy Pauling. Growing up in Oregon, Pauling and his family
Two-time Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling. Pauling's early work in chemistry earned him the world's respect, but his later work on nutrition was controversial.
did not have much in the way of material wealth, especially after his father's death when he was only nine years old. However, Pauling was exceptionally bright and found many ingenious ways to make money, including delivering milk, running film projectors, and working at the local shipyard, to support his mother and two younger sisters.
Pauling was a gifted student and earned a scholarship to Oregon State University where he earned his Bachelor of Science degree and later went on to earn a Ph.D. in chemistry at the California Institute of Technology. As a young scientist, Pauling first became known to the world of chemistry with his use of X-rays to examine the molecular structure of crystals. Pauling later began to focus his research on the way molecules bond and his insight led to the creation of many of the medicines, dyes, plastics, and synthetic fibers people continue to use today. His work was so influential that he was recognized in 1954 with the prestigious Nobel Prize for Chemistry. In fact, Pauling is the only person to ever win two unshared Nobel Prizes—he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1962.
After being awarded his second Nobel Prize, Pauling began to study the role of nutrition in fighting disease. Pauling had spoken about the importance of vitamins and minerals to maintain health in the late 1930s, but he did not pursue research on the subject until almost thirty years later. Pauling proposed that large doses of vitamin C could protect a person from the common cold, and he wrote the book Vitamin C and the Common Cold in 1970. It quickly became a bestseller. He also believed in vitamin C's power to combat the flu, certain types of cancer, heart disease, infections, and even old age. In addition, Pauling suggested that other vitamins, such as vitamin E, and vitamin B also worked to fight disease and prolong life. In fact, Pauling believed that virtually all illnesses could be attributed to some form of vitamin deficiency.
Although Pauling was recognized all over the world for his theory on the power of nutritional medicine, medical doctors and nutrition scientists often criticized his beliefs. Many scientists did not agree with Pauling's ideas about vitamin therapy and the impact of vitamins and minerals on a person's health. They even tried to disprove Pauling's ideas by conducting research studies to show that vitamin C did not prevent colds or cancer. However, many of these studies were flawed, and Pauling was always able to respond with his own research data and logical reasoning to support his beliefs.
Pauling died of cancer at the age of 93 in August 19, 1994, at his ranch near Big Sur on the California coast. Before he died, he said that vitamin C had delayed the cancer's onset for twenty years. Pauling was awarded many prizes and received distinguished honors for his contributions to the fields of chemistry and humanity. He has been recognized as one of the most influential scientists of the twentieth century.

LOS ANGELES - If LeBron James and Tracy McGrady end up as teammates, that union of All-Star swingmen might have to take place in Cleveland.
While discussing his own future with the Knicks, McGrady revealed Sunday that he believes James, expected to be the top free agent of the 2010 class, isn't coming to New York.
"To me, in my honest opinion, I don't see it happening," said McGrady, who missed Sunday night's 113-107 win over the Clippers with a sore knee. "I really don't. It's set for him right now."
That's a dramatic change in thinking from when McGrady joined the Knicks in February and was optimistic about the possibility of playing with James in New York. Although McGrady told reporters that he "would love" to play for the Knicks next season, there is a sense that he has soured on the club.
Mike D'Antoni has reportedly let it be known that he doesn't want McGrady back. D'Antoni has denied making up his mind on McGrady, and there is also the issue that the final call on whether to re-sign McGrady will be made by team president Donnie Walsh.
The fact that an unfavorable story about McGrady's future surfaced and quoted unnamed sources close to D'Antoni could be potentially damaging to the Knicks' free-agent plans. Walsh believes that D'Antoni's strength this summer will be to recruit free agents to New York. However, he has had a falling-out with several former and current Knicks, including Larry Hughes, Nate Robinson and Eddy Curry.
All three have strong connections with James, and players do tend to talk. McGrady is respected around the league and anything he says about the Knicks - either positive or negative - could resonate with his NBA brethren.
And his experience with the Knicks hasn't been good. The team continues to fall in the standings and reports that D'Antoni doesn't want McGrady back don't help matters. In fact, McGrady joked that top free agents don't want to come to New York "because of you guys" - a reference to the three New York newspaper reporters traveling with the team. Coincidentally, the Lakers' Ron Artest said in November that players are afraid of the New York media.
Of course, McGrady has a say in his future and there is no guarantee that he wants to return. McGrady said last night that he wouldn't consider the Knicks unless they sign two elite free agents and he feels that James and Dwyane Wade will re-sign with their respective clubs.
Most Read
"This is definitely my final run and I want to make sure this is the right decision," said the 30-year-old McGrady. "I know I'm not in a position to make a lot of money, I've been hurt.
"I'm not looking to go in anywhere and be the man again. My time on that is past. But I still can be an effective ballplayer. ... I don't care about being the man."
POINT MEN: Al Harrington scored six of his 26 points in the final 1:12 and after the Clippers had tied the game at 103. David Lee scored 29 to lead the Knicks, who improved to 27-49 and avoided a 0-5 trip. They return home to face Boston tomorrow.

Greenlaw likes to make comics, animated shorts, and funny voices.
You might want to use Micro-Set (red bottle), it goes on top of the decal after your place it on the model…don't touch the decal after you put the Micro-Set on…its common for the decal to wrinkle after applying Micro-Set. When dry use (we use spray lacquer) seal with gloss or flat coat.
Micro-Sol – you might want to test for color affects on a scrap test piece before using…we've had some slight staining on tones of Tamiya grey occur…YMMV. We've gotten around that by using a coat for Future wax (yes the floor stuff…note it's trade name has recently changed) applied via airbrush before using Micro-Sol…this has two effects..protects the paint and secondly the decal snuggles down into the wax surface and the edges disappear producing a very smooth surface with little/no transition to the decal.
Questions on your post-processing…
1) were you sanding the piece to smooth it out? if so, what grit(s) did you find most useful? How long did it take for the sanding or other post-processing steps?
2) How easy were the artifacts from the support structures to remove?
3) Have you tried printing anything with very fine detail? Would love to see an example of say small rivets/bolts or similar 🙂

Healthy Coffee?
Posted by TheShot on 31 Oct 2006 | Tagged as: Coffee Health, Consumer Trends, Quality Issues
You know the phrase "knowing just enough to be dangerous"? A good example can be found in the regular stream of rip-and-read medical research press releases that appear in the daily media cesspool. And scuttlebutt on the health benefits and detriments of coffee are in steady supply.
I promise not to go off on my usual tirade about mainstream media's sorry state of science and medical reporting. But I'd like to tackle the more general issue of how food-as-medicine thinking can create a sorry world of over-anxious people and sterilized, unenjoyable edibles (and drinkables).
First, take a lot of the salesmanship buzz about the growth of tea consumption in the press these days. Inevitably, they play the health card. We learn that tea drinkers have always known it's better for you than coffee, and now there's proof (thanks to one study that apparently suffices as the basis for all our health care decisions). We learn that consumption of tea is on the rise because of rising interest in the health benefits attributed to tea.
Don't get me wrong — I enjoy tea and all its yummy anti-oxidant goodness (just call them "flavor crystals"). But how much should my choice of beverage be dictated by an actuarial assessment comparing my mortality risk of cancer or stress hormones? Even if this uncoordinated media mass of medical non-sequiturs truly came to a coherent conclusion that I had a 0.16% higher risk of cancer by drinking coffee instead of tea, when does that statistic become the prime determinant of what I should consume? Flavor, apparently, is just an inconvenience.
Tea aside, coffee itself has been alternately viewed as a monster or savior, depending on your study du jour. An alarmingly obese America seems very worried about the nine-calorie coffee, despite its regular consumption for hundreds of years. Over the weekend, one cited study claimed coffee harmed sperm — arguably taking a page out of the "smoking may reduce the blood flow and causes impotence" threats you now see posted on cigarettes in the U.K.
When health concerns kill food
I'm not advocating ignorance. Everyone is capable of making personal choices based on available information. But when alarmist health-consciousness sets the standard, we all suffer.
Oddly enough, take the example of pork. While in Portugal, I was lucky enough to eat quite a bit of proco preto — literally a "black pork" that comes from a special line of pigs in the Alentejo region that's popular around Lisbon (black is the color of the animal, not the dish). Porco preto, like any other pork in Portugal, tastes nothing like pork in America. Why? Because at some point Americans got the idea that pork was the taste of premature death on four hooves. So pork was bred to be leaner, drier, whiter, and without any flavor — and ultimately not worth eating for many.
A more famous example concerns unpasteurized cheeses (i.e., cheeses that are not pre-heated to kill off some bacteria). America can claim production of a number of good cheeses, but many of what are considered the best cheeses in the world are unavailable here due to U.S. pasteurization laws. Roquefort, Camembert, Brie … safely consumed for centuries, the real deal may carry a rare risk of salmonella or E. coli. But there's a good reason the French call pasteurized cheese "dead cheese".
Moderation and personal choice should always play a role in our food supplies. But when we've let the forces of health paranoia rule our choices, most everyone loses out. We've made ourselves sick and made our food far less appealing in the name of health fads and the conventional wisdom of the moment. All of which is another major reason why, when someone presents me with another study du jour that says coffee may cause additional limb growth, I just want to smack them upside the head with the third arm growing out of my back.

[…] Which brings me to a somewhat related, disturbing news item released today about the introduction of a new style of coffee in that coffee-as-medicine vein: Slimming coffee to launch in UK. Here we learn, "the drink, named CoffeeSlender, uses a novel, coffee-derived ingredient called Svetol that has been shown in studies to aid weight loss during a diet." I suppose that after extensive market research, Café Bulimia just wasn't as appealing — even if it is what all the top models are drinking. […]
[…] There is something bizarre about the media's unhealthy obsession with the health merits of coffee. Now this is one case where I truly believe the media are just delivering what consumers want from them. And I've already written about this subject. But a prominent article in this month's Wine Spectator by Mark Pendergrast, author of Uncommon Grounds: The History of Coffee and How it Transformed Our World, prompted further questions for its ironic double standard.

Brahmi is one of the main rejuvenating medicines in Ayurvedic medicine – the topic regularly covered by UK Natural Healthcare Hub. The website mentioned shared a comprehensive post on herbal remedies for depression, where Brahmi is described as an incredible tool for maintaining and strengthening of nerve and brain cells. Brahmi improves memory, increases longevity, slows down aging and gives the desired strength to the aged patients. It strengthens the immune system, cleansing and nourishing it, and also improves the condition of adrenal glands. The medication is fairly referred to the list of the most efficient herbal remedies for depression.
Brhami effect under the microscope
Brahmi contains alkaloids, saponins and a range of other glycosides. The preparation improves metabolism and has a cooling, rejuvenating, antipyretic, diuretic properties and strengthens the nerves. Stimulating brain processes, Brahmi enhances thinking performance. Moreover, it is used in Ayurveda for the treatment of asthma, crackling, mental disorders, having a mild nuerotonic and cardiotonic effect. Just like many herbal remedies for depression, Brahmi acts as a sedative; it reduces anxiety in children and prescribed in treatment of mental anxiety of various complexities. At the same, the medication is a strong blood-purifying agent on the specific effect of chronic skin diseases.
