Thanks Michael. I am looking forward to attending. I enjoy camping so if you know of any good campsites within a short drive of the campus please let me know!
For those wanting to camp, try North Beach, Burlington Vermont. Might be a State Park. You might get a reservation if you don't wait too long. It's a popular place. I think all that is supposed to be posted
Website says it's Monday through Friday, but the schedule only has events from Wednesday through Friday, so when does it actually start?
There's a short course on Monday and Tuesday. The sc program is still being put together. So far the blue square...intermediate, and the black diamond...advanced...courses are set. The green square...beginners...is being worked on . The course and presenters will be posted soon.
The conference begins Wednesday morning.
I'm not familiar with the short course, as I havn't attended before. Is it required to attend the beginner before the intermediate, or can you just attend the intermediate?
Can't wait!!!!
Think your extracted honey is the best around? Your comb honey is like no other? Your honey baked goods are to die for? Your beeswax is the most perfect and the photographs you took will blow the judges away?
Why not come up to Burlington, Vermont for the Eastern Apicultural Society convention in August. Enter those choice products you're so proud of. Show off that unique gadget you made to help you in the apiary or honey house. Snag a blue ribbon for your awsome honey beer.
Don't be shy, your honey really is that good. Enter and you just might go home with a little silver...
Very impressive!
When does registration begin?

Keep watching the web site. Soon I assume. Deadline for the EAS journal was yesterday.
Sounds good.
Do you sign up for each workshop individually, or is it all open once you register for EAS?
I believe you have to register for both if you want both. Short course is Monday, Tuesday, and conference is Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Monday and Tuesday supper is on your own...or with teachers and new found friends downtown Burlington. Wednesday is the picnic at the Webb Estate breeding barn. Might goggle it at Shelburne Farms or Olivia Havermeyer Webb. Thursday is the auction at the Davis center. One of the local breweries is providing honey-brew...if we can get past the regulations. Friday night is the banguet and presentation of awards.
Meals during the day are on you own. Good restaurant at the Davis center where many of the meetings will be held.
I hope to see the mead catagory in the honey show reinstated this year.
I guess the judges were tired of just one or two entries in each class. Too easy to go home with a ribbon.
So,all you meadmakers,come to Vermont and provide some competition.
Just checked the homebrew forum and I see there is a mead catagory this year..... Great!!
Been away for a while.
Best Western has a 4 night special rate that beats the EAS rate if you book soon..Hotel is about 1 mile from campus.
11 yrs, TF 6 yrs, moved to OAV in 2014, MAQS 2016. 6 hives and 5 nucs Zone 4B
i was wondering if mr palmer would know if this eas needs more volunteers?

Actually, it took several takes for the home crowd to get the big moment just right for producers of TV's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition."
The voices swelled to a feverish pitch, consuming the once-peaceful neighborhood with thousands of primal calls. More than 3,000 people were chanting and bobbing, a sea of neighbors and volunteers. Then they stopped, silenced by microphone-wielding producers.
False alarm.
This was TV, after all. It took several pulse-pounding rounds of "Move that bus" before the seemingly unscripted moment of revelation, when a local family would stare in awe at the brand new home on the spot where their old one stood a week earlier.
But the crowd didn't seem to mind. To the legions of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" fans at Monday's big reveal, the repeated takes were chances to rev up their vocal cords as they awaited the arrival of the Hill family and host Ty Pennington at 148 William St.
Onlookers witnessed a spectacle of Hollywood proportions as the Hill family walked into the stunning white house with black trim and wraparound porch that program their 150-year-old home. The Geneva episode will air this fall, as the Emmy Award-winning show begins its sixth season on ABC.
Producers and flashbulbs aside, the moment was real to diehard followers like Denise Cruz, who kept an eye on the progress all week. Like others in Geneva, Cruz has witnessed the impact Tim Hill has made on the community as a coach; the veteran boxer coached her son in both boxing and football. It was his efforts as a boxing coach, free of charge to local youths, that drew the attention of "Extreme Makeover" producers, who landed at the site on Aug. 18 with just seven days to rebuild a new home, a pool and a gym fit for local boxers.
"They're real nice people," she said of the Hill family — parents Tim and Michelle, kids Justina, Jacob and Jayden Hill, and Aleem Whitfield, for whom the Hills act as legal guardian. "I can't think of anyone better who'd deserve something like this."
Producers sequestered the Hill family, shuttling them from their limo to photo ops and, finally, into their new home. Amid the mania, they weren't available for comment on Monday.
Cruz made it her mission to convince her employer, Olympia Sports, to donate fitness equipment for the training facility behind the new Hill home. Like dozens of other local businesses, the store pitched in. Generosity wove through all aspects of the transformation, which took place while the Hill family lounged on the beach in Cancun, Mexico.
Even before crews descended upon Geneva, volunteers had overwhelmed the online queue set up by Mahoney Design and Build Inc., the Canastota-based company spearheading the project. In the end, some 400 to 500 volunteers skilled in various trades put the house together, said building foreman Jeff Dingman.
"Everybody was working right together hand in hand," he said.
That spirit extended to another home in Geneva, a Habitat for Humanity project underway in the city. Surplus siding, tools and sheetrock from the William Street makeover were donated to the project, the third Habitat home in the city and 11th in Ontario County. The house won't go up in the flurry that the Hill home did, but organizers are planning a "Blitz Week" Sept. 6 to 13 to raise the home, according to a release.
Makeover volunteer Sam Stamps watched as the last pieces came together on Monday afternoon.
"It's been phenomenal," he said. "Just phenomenal."
There wasn't much time for sleeping, said volunteer Dawn Nicole Johnson, a Rochester resident. But the thrill of the team effort more than made up for it, said Johnson, who helped build a sidewalk, put together the gym, clean the basement and even serve breakfast throughout the week.
An exhausted Renee Lane, spokeswoman for C&S Companies, which partnered with the Mahoney Design, marveled at the looming white home before her.
"They pulled it off," she said, referring to the countless builders, designers and volunteers. "I'm just blown away by them."

Yes the red clovers nectar is of no importance unless it is very dry and the corolla tubes are stunted so the bees tongue can reach the nectar but they are a pollen source. White clover however is a great nectar source. Right now though my bees don't care for the white clover, just the blackberry blossoms as far as I can tell.As far as your bees go I would highly recommend you add more supers before you think they are out of room, even if you don't want the honey, the bees can use it come winter. If they put up enough honey for winter and still have enough left in spring you wont need to feed them sugar water either. And unless you want to be in my situation, you may prevent them from swarming. I don't know what part of Wisconsin you are from but if you have woods, wetland and dairy farms near your bees you may have nectar till near or up to frost.
move them 4-5 miles, pick up queens, and introduce queens next morning.
Michael Bush and TWT: Did you read my post well."I have no brood, larva or eggs, and believe I found hatched queen cells but I still have no eggs" Thats as of Tuesday last week. They could have swarmed almost a month ago for all I know.
To whom it may concern: I grew up in the area I have my bees. I know what plants grow there plus have the knowledge of my elders who farmed there and have the knowledge that they learned and from there elders when they grew up. Every area is different but Trees depending on the area can give you nectar and pollen in huge amounts. Farmers need hay crops, grow soybeans, and hopefully have clover. Wetlands tend to have lots of bloom in late summer and fall like Golden Rod. In my area I have field thistle which blooms till frost. My uncle used to let a commercial beekeeper put his bees there in fall. The beekeeper claimed that he could take all his honey and the bees could put up enough honey off the field thistle to survive the winter. I guess he said "when I found field thistle I thought I was going to be rich" then laughed. I'm sure he never realized his riches and is why he laughed. He has now passed away so I guess all the field thistle is mine. Anyway I guess my point is, if there are any old guys around, preferably farmers, I would get to know them if you can because from them you could learn more in a week what grows around your area then you may on your own in a lifetime. For you local WI beeks just search nectar sources in google and you should find a link for norther nectar sources. If you don't know what they are the old boys should. Then you know some of what You got and what to expect.

The Transition to Wellness Programs
Recently, our industry's focus has been shifting from "fitness" to "health."
Consider weight control, still the No. 1 reason why people begin an exercise program. Although the desire to lose weight is still predominantly for appearance reasons, there is an increasing awareness of the health implications of being overweight. More and more we hear about members being concerned about their health, desiring to not just "lose weight" but to "feel better, reduce stress, improve overall health, increase energy, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and perform daily tasks easily."
As the industry shifts, so must the programming shift to meet the needs and goals of the membership. Granted, fitness programming is an integral part of our clubs and will always remain so; people still join to exercise and get fit. But the time has come to develop more health-oriented programs, or wellness programs, to help members achieve their health-oriented goals.
So how does this type of programming differ from typical club programming? "Fitness programming" can be defined as being motivational and exercise-oriented in nature. Fitness programs are fun, scored, recreational, sports-oriented or one-on-one.
"Wellness programming," on the other hand, can be defined as being health-oriented and educational in nature. Wellness programs include traditional and nontraditional methods of preventing and treating special health concerns. They cover everything from weight management, cholesterol reduction, acupuncture and healing herbs.
We are moving from "Fitness = Exercise + Diet" to "Wellness = Exercise + Healthy Eating + Education." Still, this move will take time, especially as far as members are concerned. They won't suddenly stop viewing a club as a fitness facility, referring to it as a wellness facility instead. So when making the transition, consider your members before deciding what your wellness programs will look like.
Begin by assessing the goals of your members. Check interest surveys or needs analyses that new members and prospects fill out during the sales process. Review the medical and exercise history questionnaires members complete prior to their fitness assessments. Do an informal survey by asking members what health issues concern them.
Once you have information and can make some assumptions about what would interest members, set up a network of qualified presenters, people who can come in and speak about issues that apply to your members (e.g., cholesterol). Look within your community for physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors, nutritionists, psychologists, etc., who would like to deliver information to your members. If you have qualified people on staff, even better.
Interview several providers of the same services to ensure that they not only have the proper credentials, but that they also will connect to your members. Each club has a general "personality." It is important to match the personality of the presenter with the personality of the club. You may learn this the hard way, through trial and error. Persistence is the key.
Keep a narrow focus initially. Interview only those practitioners whom you feel are appropriate based on your wellness program assumptions. For example, while you personally may be interested in past-life regression as a way of relieving stress, your general membership may not. Best to start with what is more traditional. Wait until you have a few programs that work before you loosen the hold on the reins.
Tips for Establishing Your Wellness Programming
- Members are in the mind-set of coming to the club to exercise. It takes time to shift the focus.
- A club setting and a corporate setting are two completely different things. If you set up your club wellness program like you would set up a corporate wellness program, you may be disappointed.
- Be careful of alternative health care providers. They are not regulated, and may not have to be licensed. Some alternative therapy can be very questionable, unsafe, dangerous, etc. You should also be careful of your own biases. Just because your sister practices magnet therapy doesn't mean it is approved or tested.
- Initially, keep a narrow focus.
- Interview several providers of the same service. Be sure they have proper credentials and that what they say and how they say it will be received positively by your members.
- Learn through trial and error. What works at one facility may not work at your facility.
Categories of Wellness Programming
- Weight management
- Stress management
- Nutrition classes
- Health screenings
- Alternative health topics (acupuncture, herbal medicine)
- Special populations (seniors, women, men, children)
- Anything else related to health
Typical Club Member Goals
- Lose weight for appearance
- Feel better
- Reduce stress
- Improve overall health
- Increase energy
- Lower blood pressure/cholesterol
- Perform daily tasks easily
Determing Whether to Charge for Wellness Programs
- Determine the cost of delivering each program
- Decide on the true "value" to the club of delivering the program
- Offer some programs for free, charge for others and assess attendance

I shopped differently this year. I skipped all of the seasonal sales. By my estimate, I've saved at least $200 and possibly much more.
Last year, and the year before, I scored hefty savings by purchasing my entire wardrobe for the year at upscale stores at thrift store prices. Basically, all of the national chains sell their summer/early fall clothing at super cheap prices in Aug. and September. Those items work well year-round in Miami. Two years ago, for instance, I purchased a $100 jacket for $15 at Ann Taylor Loft and last year: a $129 skirt for $30 at Anthropologie.
Usually, I "save" by purchasing cart-loads of clothes at steep discounts. But this year, I purchased nothing new for the summer/fall season. Here's why:
1. Too much of a good thing. In previous years, I purchased far more than I needed. I have barely worn some of my past purchases. When I can find the back of my closet and the bottom of my clothes cabinet, I'll go shopping again.
2. Not enough time. I've been too busy to shop. I've found other hobbies that are more satisfying and less expensive. Besides, I'd rather spend my extra time with my kids or use my spare time to earn more money.
3. Free clothes. My sister-in-law gave me a lot of great hand-me-downs in terrific shape. Why do I need more stuff?
4. I found better uses for my money. We fixed the car; attended my parent's 50th Anniversary and paid bills. With all of that going on, do I really need another skirt?
5. Sale items often fickle flavor-of-the month items: For the most part, I purchase classic items. But last year, I purchased a black handkerchief skirt and two short jackets that now look sooo dated. I still like them, and wear them, but I learned a valuable lesson: Don't invest in hot-flash fashion trends.

I second 1, 3 and 4 but in regards to fall clothes. I don't know if I'll actually buy something some time soon, but it's the first time that I'm not planning purchases for the new season or coveting something. Hey, it feels nice. He he!

Yonder Alonso Promoted to Double-A
It'll be interesting to see how Yonder fares outside of a pitcher's park like Sarasota. Carolina isn't a hitter's paradise, but it is more friendly to the lumber than Sarasota. The early returns are certainly good, as I write this Yonder is 3-4 with 2 doubles, 2 runs, and 2 RBI in his Carolina debut.
Despite the personal problems of Joey Votto, it's difficult to envision Yonder as being a solution in the immediate future. Still, if he proves up to the task of handling double-A pitching, it shouldn't be long before he forces his way to the MLB level. Whether that will be with the Reds or another organization is the question of the day.

Any plans to write a piece on the struggles of Bruce at the plate?ReplyDelete
He seems to be falling into the trap of Encarnacion from a year ago. Pulling the ball too much, consequently hitting for low average but lots of power. I'm speculating he's putting too much pressure on himself to replace the departed production of the big sluggers.
He should be taking a page out of Votto and Heisey's book. Stay patient, see the off speed stuff and hit the ball to the opposite field.
Hey roc,ReplyDelete
Thanks for the idea. I'll take a look at Bruce and see if I can find any significant red flags on him. I have a few suspicions already, but I'll hold off until I dig in a little deeper and see what conclusions the research suggests.
Anyway, thanks, I'll take a look and and write something up.

Calvert DeForest (July 23, 1921 – March 19, 2007), also known by his character Larry "Bud" Melman, was an American actor and comedian, best known for his appearances on Late Night with David Letterman and the Late Show with David Letterman.
Calvert DeForest as Larry "Bud" Melman giving hot towels out at the Port Authority as people get off the bus. Nov. 16, 1983
Late Night with David Letterman, Custom Made Show #2 (1984). Dave puts Larry in a bear suit and sends him down the hall to get change.
David Letterman pays tribute to the late Calvert Deforest (aka Larry "Bud" Melman)
Little has been published about his early life. He was born to Calvert Martin DeForest, M.D., a physician who died in 1949, and Mabelle (Taylor) DeForest. He was a cousin of actor DeForest Kelley of Star Trek fame, and Bebe Daniels, a silent film star who survived the introduction of sound. Radio pioneer Lee De Forest was Daniels's second cousin. The exact family connection of Lee De Forest to Calvert DeForest is unclear.
DeForest attended Poly Prep Country Day School in Brooklyn, New York. He worked for many years for the large pharmaceutical company Parke Davis, which was later acquired by Pfizer. He had aspirations of acting but was discouraged by his mother, who was briefly an actress herself. After her death in 1969, DeForest did part-time backstage work, which eventually led to acting work.
Work with David Letterman
He is credited with four films from 1972 to 1982 and, after his first appearance with David Letterman, appeared in 15 other films or television shows.
The Associated Press noted: "DeForest's gnomish face was the first to greet viewers when Letterman's NBC show debuted on February 1, 1982, offering a parody of the prologue to the Boris Karloff film Frankenstein. 'It was the greatest thing that had happened in my life,' he once said of his first Letterman appearance."
The Melman character also opened Letterman's first CBS show under his own name, but as essentially the same character, when Letterman moved from NBC to CBS in 1993. The name change was made because the character of "Larry 'Bud' Melman" was considered the intellectual property of NBC. Melman also appeared as "Kenny The Gardener". He continued to appear on Letterman's show until his 81st birthday in 2002 before retiring from acting. DeForest often "drew laughs by his bizarre juxtaposition as a Late Show correspondent at events such as the 1994 Winter Olympics in Norway and the Woodstock anniversary concert that year." One of DeForest's more memorable skits came on Letterman's May 13, 1994, show. The host stated Johnny Carson would announce the evening's Top 10 list, at which point DeForest, as Melman, appeared as "Johnny Carson." On DeForest's exit, the real Johnny Carson appeared in what would prove Carson's last television appearance. DeForest was also noted for his remote interviews in which he would ask the interviewee a question, but pitch the microphone to the interviewee too quickly, resulting in a fade out of the last part of the question.
Letterman noted after DeForest's death: "Everyone always wondered if Calvert was an actor playing a character, but in reality he was just himself: a genuine, modest and nice man. To our staff and to our viewers, he was a beloved and valued part of our show, and we will miss him." When asked how he'd like to be remembered, DeForest responded "Just being able to make people laugh and knowing people enjoyed my humor. I also hope I haven't offended anyone through the years."
Other appearances
He was co-host (in charge of the digital switcher) on the local SF Bay Area radio program, 10@10, on KFOG-FM with Dave Morey.
In 1985, he appeared in the music video for the Run-DMC song "King of Rock" as a security guard.
In 1989, he appeared in the Special Ed video for the song "Think About it" as the villainous Dr. Norecords.
In 1994, he wrote a humor book called Cheap Advice.
In the late 1990s, he often appeared in various television ads including ones for Tropicana Twister, 1-800-Collect and Little Caesars.
DeForest also appeared on the hit albums Americana and Ixnay on the Hombre by The Offspring, doing some of the voices that can be heard before and after certain tracks. In late March 2007, a 20-minute clip of DeForest recording the voices for their album was posted on The Offspring's website.
He appeared at Woodstock 1994 to announce Nine Inch Nails late night set by proclaiming, "Ladies and gentlemen, punch your balls off and please welcome Nine Inch Nails!"
He appeared on the first episode of the 1996 series The Dana Carvey Show on ABC.
He appeared as one of the clubhouse gang in an episode of Pee-wee's Playhouse.
After years of poor health, DeForest died at Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip, New York, on Long Island, on March 19, 2007. Per his request, no funeral services were held; he was cremated and his remains were interred at Pinelawn Cemetery, Farmingdale, New York. By all press accounts, he left no surviving relatives.

Atlanta: Totino's Flashbacks and a Pie for Friday the 13th at Jack's Pizza & Wings
Jack's Pizza & Wings
676 Highland Avenue, Atlanta, GA 30312 (map); 404-525-4444; jackspizzaandwings.com
Pizza type: NY-style
Oven type: Gas
The Skinny: Smoky hole in the wall strives for greasy goodness and delivers
Price: Large cheese, $12.49; Large Jason, $21.99
I have a thing for restaurants that don't take themselves too seriously. Of course, there's no shortage of places that do... but with the recent fancification of pizza, sometimes I just want a break. I've written about it before, but for all the double zero infatuation and San Marzano snobbiness floating around in piedom these days, there are times when I crave something far simpler, something that takes me back to when pizza was spelled with a lowercase p. Sometimes I want it to be about not the kind of oven it was baked in or the exotic origins of the toppings on it... but about the way a disc of dough and sauce and cheese and assorted stuff can make me feel. It was the first "fun food" most of us ever had; why don't more places have fun with it anymore? No pretense, just pizza. That's what I want. That, and maybe Jell-O wrestling. Thank you, Jack's Pizza & Wings, you get it.
A very dark, very smoky hole in the wall in Atlanta's historic Old Fourth Ward (that's O4W in Hipsterese), Jack's does indeed host Jell-O wrestling events several times each summer. That would seem to be a pretty adequate indicator of their irreverent approach to things. But even if you happen in on a gelatin-free night, it's evident that Jack's is not a stuffy, full-of-itself pizza shrine—just a neighborhood joint concerned with little more than slinging tasty pies. The menus bastardizing the Pabst Blue Ribbon and Jack Daniel's logos don't put you at ease? Try the old-school cartoon-character lunch boxes that house the seasoning shakers and condiment packets. They're a good clue that you won't find speck or truffle oil on the toppings list.
What you will find is a roster of just under 20 pies, with many of the combinations you're used to seeing, and a handful that you've never seen anywhere else before. I started with a sausage pizza, to get a baseline sense of what Jack's is all about.
When that scattering of superfine sausage crumbles hit the table, with fennel seeds visibly glistening under a coat of grease, my first thought was, "Totino's!" Though I instantly flashed back to all those cheap freezer-section pizzas I inhaled in high school and college, the rest of this pie was an obvious upgrade. Puffy, chewy dough with some sizable air bubbles, thick, tomatoey sauce, all of that sausage shrapnel in every single bite—this was the pizza that all of those frozen grocery-store models of my youth wanted to be. Served with each pie at Jacks' is a tub of garlic parmesan butter—like Papa John's garlic dipping sauce but without the mass-produced taste—that a server promised would be "as delicious as it is bad for you." Dear God in Heaven, she was so right.
Jack's can take a basic pie and turn it into a sloppy gorgefest that more than satisfied my inner 15-year-old. But if you're like me, a big part of being a teenager was occasionally doing something absolutely and positively crazy... just to do something absolutely and positively crazy. Jack's got a pizza for that, too. Right on cue for Friday the 13th, may I present... the Jason.
Do not adjust your monitor settings. That is mac and cheese. And a shitload of huge bacon crumbles. On pizza dough. Yes, it's a stunt pizza. Jack's actually has three stunt pizzas on the menu: in addition to the Jason, there's also the Beanie Weenie (with BBQ baked beans, bacon, and hot dogs), and the Soul Food (a gravy base with mashed potatoes, collard greens, and fried chicken).
I hadn't been expecting much from the sausage baseline pie and was blown away, but I had truly high hopes for Jason. I mean, again: mac and cheese. And a shitload of huge bacon crumbles. On pizza dough. But this was a case of the total being dead-on equal to the sum of its parts. The Jason tasted exactly like mac and cheese. And a shitload of huge bacon crumbles. On pizza dough. And like the slasher-flick character of the same name, this Jason had a tendency to come back from the dead, expanding in my stomach and making me feel twice as full with every bite. It may be the perfect shock-value pizza and (I suspect) a superb hangover helper... but not the you-gotta-try-this revelation I had secretly wished for. I ended up going back to work on that sausage pie, and boxing up the Jason to take home to my kids, who, of course, loved it. Because, after all... pizza is supposed to be fun, remember?

Ubisoft's two big holiday releases don't just share numerals and second words starting with "cr". They also both begin, bizarrely, with almost exactly the same quote.
Yes, of all the books, movies, TV shows and historical figures that are out there for developers to lift quotes from, both Far Cry 3 and Assassin's Creed III begin with the following line from Lewis Carroll's classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland:
In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.
You can see it in action above. In Assassin's Creed, Shaun says it as you're about to open the door to the temple in the game's intro sequence, while in Far Cry 3, it's the first thing you see when you fire up a new singleplayer campaign. Both make sense given their individual context, I guess, even if Shaun's selection feels a little forced and Far Cry 3's intro cuts next to bros downing brews on the beach. And yet...
The games share almost nothing thematically or aesthetically. In fact, about the only things they've got in common are those listed in the opening paragraph. Oh, and... this quote. Sure, it might be some strange branding exercise, but it's more likely both teams thought they were being very clever, then had an "oh shit" moment when checking out the end product of their labelmates. What are the odds!

Imagine walking into a doctor's office and requesting to be cured of addiction, a personality disorder, chronic pain, and obesity – all in the same visit. Think your request would be taken very seriously? If your doctor was Sadhguru Jaggi, it would not only be taken seriously, it would be routine.
Sadhguru is an international speaker, author, and Yogi who specializes in Isha yoga. Isha yoga is unique from what is traditionally practiced in the United States in that its approach is entirely holistic; that is, the focus is on all aspects of body, mind, and spirit. The connections that develop between these three areas during the practice of Isha yoga are so intertwined, in fact, that Isha yoga has been said to transcend modern medical knowledge and scientific study.
Part of the mystery surrounding Sadhguru's methods comes from the health benefits that his practitioners report. Many find themselves cured from addictions, relieved of chronic pain, and renewed with mental energy and clarity. Others report reductions in shyness, anxiety, depression and fear. Some even find solutions to long-held disorders that not even doctors are able to cure.
That's not to say, however, that the benefits are difficult to reach – most of Sadhguru's methods—after the initial learning program—take only twenty minutes to practice. And, unlike what is traditionally practiced in the United States, Sadhguru's form of yoga can be practiced by individuals at any level of fitness. According to Suma Shewale, of the Isha Foundation (http://IshaYoga.org), finding a Yogi who is willing to share their understanding of the mind-body-spirit connection is rare.
"Sadhguru had certain dramatic events occur in his life that made him see a lot of suffering in people," says Shewale. "If it wasn't for him wanting to eliminate a lot of that suffering, it's doubtful if he would be so open to sharing his methods."
During October and November of 2006, Sadhguru plans to conduct his program in three U.S. cities: Detroit, Atlanta, and Tampa, Fla. The introductory program is five days long, consisting of a three-hour sessions during the week and full days on the weekend. After the initial program, participants are able to use the knowledge and apply it to their personal lives.
"It's so much different from what people are used to regarding lifestyle changes," says Shewale, "This isn't one of those things that only lasts for two days or a couple of weeks. It goes beyond simple motivation and inspiration; this is something very rare and unique."

Blake Shelton on Miranda Lambert: 'She's My Life'
Blake Shelton and the other 'Voice' coaches sat down with host Carson Daly and he cleared the air once again about his relationship with Miranda Lambert, which constantly seems to be the center of tabloid headlines.
Shelton, Shakira, Adam Levine and Usher all sat down with Daly and dished on things that fans may not already know. Each artist got personal and Shelton spent his time talking about wife.
"I would take this opportunity to say to clear the air," Shelton begins to tell Daly on 'Today.' "You may pick up a magazine or a tabloid any day of the week that'll say something about, you know, my relationship with Miranda and it's in turmoil and divorce."
He's got that right. Their two faces seem to always be the subject of controversy -- no matter what it may be. Lambert's pregnant, Shelton's cheating or worst of all the two are headed for divorce. Shelton says there's absolutely no truth to the turmoil and divorce rumors.
"The truth is I've never felt a stronger bond with, not only with her, but with any other human being in my life," he gushes over the reigning Female Vocalist of the Year. "I mean Miranda and I have ... she's my life."
You can watch Shelton alongside the other coaches Monday and Tuesday nights on 'The Voice' on NBC.

text: On December 3rd, 2005 over a quarter of a million people and one robot swam as part of the World Swim for Malaria. Money raised by the project will be used to buy mosquito nets to protect children from malaria. Robot AMOUR, project of the Rus Robotics Laboratory, swam at 4pm EST. Daniela Rus reports that "AMOUR swam 10 graceful laps, navigating from one end of the pool to the other entirely on its own." AMOUR swam forward and used a pair of front IR sensors to detect the edge of the pool. At the end of a lap AMOUR turned to face forward for the next lap. Once in a while AMOUR would stop, turn right and turn left to make sure it was not too close to the side of the pool. Preparing for the swim led to several research insights. "The project inspired us to develop two additional skills to our underwater robot's control. We developed an underwater acoustic network with the goal of using the acousting system to localize and track the robot. The acoustic network enhanced the navigation system of the robot by removing the dependence on poor dead reckoning. We also developed new algorithms for turning in between laps," said Rus. The AMOUR project raised $1359, this means 272 nets for the children in the affected regions. World Swim for Malaria's goal is to have one million people take part in the swim.

Second ingredient is a named meat product
Inadequate meat content, mixed quality ingredients, fat of unidentifiable origin, controversial filler
The second ingredient is a named meat product, in meal form. There is a further meat meal ingredient 9th on the ingredient list, but this is too far down to make any significant contribution to the meat content of the food. This is a fish meal ingredient, but we find no guarantee on the manufacturers website that protein sources are ethoxyquin-free (ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative commonly added to fish destined for meal, and is believed to be carcinogenic).
The grains are of mixed quality. Rice is decent quality grain (and the main ingredient in the food), but rice bran is a grain fragment we consider primarily filler. In flour form (in dog food, commonly a byproduct of human food production) is a grain fragment. Powdered fiber is sawdust.
Poultry fat is a further low quality ingredient rarely found in anything but very low quality foods. Poultry fat is an ingredient of unidentified origin for which it is impossible to determine source or quality. Unidentified ingredients are usually very low quality. AAFCO define this as obtained from the tissues of poultry in the commercial processes of rendering or extracting. It consists predominantly of glyceride esters of fatty acids and contains no additions of free fatty acids. If an antioxidant is used, the common name or names must be indicated, followed by the words "used as a preservative".
Beet pulp is controversial filler which appears to be used in large quantities in this food. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
We note that this product includes synthetic vitamin K, a substance linked to liver problems and that is progressively being removed from better quality dog food products.

Prize will expand use of life-saving neonatal device in Africa
Award will fund international rollout of student-created breathing technology
HOUSTON — (Nov. 14, 2013) — A low-cost device that Rice University bioengineering students invented to help premature babies breathe more easily will be rolled out to teaching hospitals in three African nations, thanks to a $400,000 award from pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and London-based charity Save the Children. The technology, which is known as "bubble CPAP," earned the top prize in GSK and Save the Children's inaugural Healthcare Innovation Award program.
The prize was won by Friends of Sick Children in Malawi, the charitable arm of the pediatric department of Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre, Malawi. The hospital, the University of Malawi College of Medicine and Rice University's Rice 360°: Institute for Global Health Technologies are already partnering to distribute bubble CPAPs to 27 hospitals throughout Malawi. The funding from the Healthcare Innovation Award, along with backing from the Ministry of Health in Malawi, will allow Friends of Sick Children in Malawi and its partners to share the life-saving technology with teaching hospitals in Tanzania, Zambia and South Africa.
"This remarkable project shows what can be achieved through grassroots innovation, and we are delighted to be able to recognize the hard work of all involved," said GSK Country Manager Todd Mavende, who announced the award winners in London. "It is saving lives of Malawi's children today and can make a difference for millions of children around the world tomorrow."
The Rice-invented technology is a low-cost version of "continuous positive airway pressure," or CPAP, a standard feature of most neonatal units in the developed world. CPAP helps babies that are in respiratory distress by keeping their lungs inflated so they may breathe more easily. Respiratory distress claims the lives of about 1 million African newborns each year.
With a price around $6,000, conventional CPAP machines are too expensive for hospitals in the developing world. In 2010, a team of senior students from Rice University in Houston, Texas, invented bubble CPAP as a low-cost alternative. The team members — Jocelyn Brown, Michael Pandya, Joseph Chang, Haruka Maruyama and Katie Schnelle — created the technology as part Rice 360°'s award-winning, hands-on engineering education program Beyond Traditional Borders (BTB).
In clinical trials at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital, bubble CPAP was shown to increase the survival rate of newborns with respiratory distress by 27 percent. It is estimated that the technology could save the lives of 178,000 African children if implemented continentwide.
In Malawi, bubble CPAP has been renamed "Pumani," which means "breathe easy" in Chichewa, one of the languages spoken in Malawi. Pumani costs about 15 times less than traditional CPAP, and Rice 360°, Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital, the University of Malawi College of Medicine and the Malawi Ministry of Health are working together to distribute Pumani to Malawi's 27 government hospitals.
"We are thrilled to be working with Friends of Sick Children in Malawi, and the University of Malawi College of Medicine to expand the Pumani program and begin replicating its success in Tanzania, Zambia and South Africa," said Rebecca Richards-Kortum, Rice's Stanley C. Moore Professor and chair of the Department of Bioengineering and director of both BTB and Rice 360°.
"The award money from the GSK-Save the Children Healthcare Innovation Award program will allow us to extend the reach of this life-saving technology and save thousands of lives," said Maria Oden, director of Rice's Oshman Engineering Design Kitchen and co-director of BTB.
Pumani was one of five winning projects selected GSK and Save the Children from nearly 100 applications from 29 countries.
In September, Pumani was chosen by the United Nations as one of 10 "Breakthrough Innovations That Can Save Women and Children Now." Thanks to the designation from the UN's Every Woman, Every Child program, Pumani was displayed for the U.N. General Assembly Sept. 23 as part of an effort to mobilize governments, multilaterals, the private sector and civil society to address the major health challenges facing women and children around the world.
Later this month, GSK and Save the Children will convene a roundtable discussion with stakeholders and policymakers to honor the Friends of Sick Children in Malawi and to discuss the impact of the award on health innovation trends in Malawi.

The president was asked about the movement to legalize marijuana amid a lengthy interview with The New Yorker. "As has been well documented, I smoked pot as a kid," Obama responded, "and I view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes that I smoked as a young person up through a big chunk of my adult life. I don't think it is more dangerous than alcohol."
When pressed whether marijuana is less dangerous than alcohol, the president said yes, "in terms of its impact on the individual consumer."
Obama said legalization of recreational marijuana use in Colorado and Washington is an important "experiment" and may help remedy the disproportionate number of marijuana-related arrests and incarcerations among minorities in America, where marijuana is classified as a schedule 1 drug, the same category as heroin and ecstasy.
"We should not be locking up kids or individual users for long stretches of jail time," the president said, "when some of the folks who are writing those laws have probably done the same thing."
Still, Obama said he has told his daughters that smoking marijuana is "a bad idea, a waste of time, not very healthy."
R. Albert Mohler Jr. responded that "any parent who reduces the arguments is a parent that better be ready for his children or her children to smoke marijuana or to do whatever he supposedly doesn't want them to do but can muster only an argument that it is a waste of time, a bad idea and not very healthy."
Obama's statement "really doesn't get at the heart of the issue," Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, said Jan. 21 in his daily podcast The Briefing. "It doesn't even get to the issue of intoxication whatsoever. It doesn't deal at all with the reality, as has now been well documented, that in the adolescent brain marijuana has a very dangerous and long-lasting, if not permanent effect. It doesn't deal with the whole issue of impairment. It doesn't deal with the potential of addiction, which again goes way up when you're dealing with adolescent smoking."
Mohler acknowledged that Obama "holds up a pretty good model of fatherhood" and likely said "a great deal more to his daughters than he told The New Yorker" in the mid-January article. But it is troubling that the president did not make a stronger public argument against marijuana use, he said.
When asked about the president's statements, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Jan. 22 that Obama remains opposed to nationwide decriminalization of marijuana and has not changed his position on the issue. Carney underscored the president's argument that minority Americans are prosecuted for marijuana use disproportionately.
Mohler agreed that America's drug laws need to be reformed, but he said it is illogical to imply that no users should be punished because not all users are punished. Obama seems reticent to take a strong stand against marijuana at least in part because of his own drug use growing up, Mohler said, a common mistake among parents in recent generations.
"If only the sinless can talk about the avoidance of sin and the reasons for avoiding sin, then we as a human race are doomed, because as the Bible says emphatically clearly, 'All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,'" Mohler said, referencing Romans 3:23.
Lonnie Wilkey, editor of the Tennessee Baptist and Reflector, said it sends "mixed signals" to younger Americans when society condemns cigarette smoking but leaders dismiss marijuana use as merely "a vice."
"As to whether marijuana is 'no worse than alcohol,' that's up to debate," Wilkey said on his blog. Abuse of either substance "impairs your thinking and potentially endangers others."
Before Obama's comments were published, J. Lee Grady, contributing editor of Charisma Magazine, offered five reasons why "legalizing marijuana stinks":
-- Marijuana is highly addictive.
-- Marijuana "can ruin your future," leading to school dropouts, auto accidents and a general lack of motivation.
-- Marijuana can ruin children's lives. Among other negative consequences, adolescents who smoke pot risk brain damage, according to an article in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology.
-- Marijuana causes serious health problems, including heart attacks and lung cancer.
-- Marijuana "can ruin your sex life," leading to impotence, infertility and testicular cancer.
"People from every side of the political spectrum have called for decriminalization of pot -- from Pat Robertson and Sarah Palin on the right to Bill Maher and Rachael Maddow on the left," Grady wrote. "I understand their concern: Huge numbers of people are in prison today for drug possession -- and the cost of caring for our inmate population is overwhelming. But why do we have to swing the pendulum to the other extreme and treat marijuana like it's a mild, over-the-counter medication?"
Medical marijuana
Meanwhile Russell D. Moore, president of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, said in a podcast released Jan. 23 that even so-called "medical marijuana," which is legal in 18 states and the District of Columbia, poses ethical problems.
On one hand, it is not a sin for an ill individual to use marijuana prescribed by a physician, Moore said. He cited Proverbs 31:6, which references giving alcohol to someone who is dying or in great distress.
"There are all sorts of mind-altering drugs that are given to severely ill people in order to correct their illness, and sometimes even to put them out of consciousness. I would think of morphine, for instance. I think that's ethically alright," Moore said in the Questions and Ethics podcast.
Yet medical marijuana, contrary to the claims of its advocates, is not primarily a drug prescribed for people in unbearable pain or on the verge of death, Moore said. Quoting a CNN article, he said only 2 percent of those prescribed marijuana in Colorado suffer from cancer and only 1 percent from HIV/AIDS. Ninety-four percent cite "unspecified pain" as the justification for their pot prescriptions. The average user of medical marijuana in California "is a 32-year-old white man with no life-threatening illness but a long record of substance abuse," Moore said, quoting CNN.
Medical marijuana "is not something that is being given to people with terminal cancer, fighting off in a hospice sort of situation those last stages of pain," Moore said. "It's something that is being given very indiscriminately with a substance that has a long cultural history in this country of essentially inducing a kind of immediate drunkenness, which of course is prohibited in Scripture for a believer."
Moore said he would vote against medical marijuana if he lived in a state where it was on the ballot.
"It's not because I don't have compassion for people who are dealing with difficult illnesses," he said, "nor is it saying that some terminally ill person who takes marijuana at a doctor's order is personally sinning. I don't think that's the question. I think the question is: What does the normalization of marijuana usage do to people?"
Moore continued, "Wherever we have medical marijuana coming in, we have marijuana usage going up. That is not a good thing. I think that most of us can agree marijuana doesn't do anything good for a work ethic, for someone's life, and the people who tend to get hurt in all of these situations aren't those who are in the cultural elite, who often are the ones who are normalizing these things culturally."
Moore added that legalization of recreational marijuana also is ill-advised.
"Just as big tobacco was an industry that had a cheap product that was able to hook people in, we have the same sort of industry involved here with marijuana," Moore said. It is "simplistic" to argue that legalization would eliminate the black market and reduce use. "I don't think that bears up in terms of history," he said.
Ministering to users
Meditating on Scripture is perhaps the best path to overcoming marijuana use, according to an e-book by Baptist Press editor Art Toalston. He urges drug users and others mired in such ills as pornography to focus in particular on Matthew 5:6, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."
"Begin memorizing these words, which were spoken by Jesus," Toalston writes in "Meditation and Morality: Praying for a Better Way." "In doing so, you will be engaging in a form of meditation. Even if it's just for a few moments, or several times during the day, this simple form of meditation on the words of Jesus will begin to nurture a winsome, intriguing morality in your soul. These words will have an effect, perhaps dramatically, perhaps subtly, perhaps both, even as your struggle or your affliction with immorality may continue to fester or rage."
Users of marijuana and other harmful drugs already "meditate" on their drug-induced "euphoria," musing on past and future use, Toalston writes. But their meditation often ignores the negative aspects of their behavior and needs to give way to a more positive form of contemplation.
"Sadly, their meditation may not stretch toward ruthless drug cartels and gangs who murder and maim in order to amass illicit fortunes through the delivery and sale of drugs to distant users oblivious to the mayhem," Toalston writes. "Sad, too, is the stunted meditation that drug use is relatively harmless, dismissive of research showing that medical harm from marijuana can be similar to cigarette smoking or research demonstrating the toll marijuana-impaired driving can take, akin to drunk driving, on innocent victims killed or injured by a drug user's thoughtlessness."
Ultimately Toalston advocates new spiritual birth as the antidote to marijuana use and other struggles with immorality. He explains how to turn from sin and trust Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, an act that will make drug use begin to lose its appeal.
"Supernatural results then begin to unfold," Toalston writes. "These may occur dramatically or perhaps imperceptibly until weeks or months later when you begin to see how your life is being transformed and the lure of immorality is waning. Some of the changes may seem monumental; others may be part of an incremental process."
Other resources related to drug use are available on the ERLC website, erlc.com.
Moore urged Christians to prepare for both political engagement with marijuana advocates and ministry to individuals affected by the drug.
"On the left there is a progressive acceptance of marijuana use that comes out of the counterculture," Moore said. "And then on the right there is a libertarian understanding of decreasing law, of personal autonomy, individual autonomy and those sorts of things. Those two things come together to make marijuana legalization for various reasons more and more likely in this country. So even if you're not addressing this where you are, you probably will be soon."

Because no one reads the newspaper, and SportsCenter's anchors are too perky for this early in the morning, Deadspin combs the best of the broadsheets and the blogosphere to bring you everything you need to know to start your day.
•Schefter reports that both Peyton Manning and Drew Brees will receive hefty raises this offseason. No! Terrible idea! You know how hard players play in their contract years? Now neither guy has anything to play for on Sunday.
•Kansas nearly falls to the curse of No. 1, but escapes Colorado in overtime. Which is sad, because Villanova was really looking forward to their chance to lose their first game atop the polls.
•Ottawa won its 10th game in a row, with Daniel Alfredsson scoring twice in the final minute. They've got all the momentum in the world; wouldn't it suck if something came along and shut down the NHL for a couple of weeks?
•Via Steinberg, Hugo Chavez has banned all non-sports related signs from Venezuelan baseball games. Would this cover those "spell 'ESPN' with one letter from each word" signs? If so, he can count on my vote! (Not that you have the choice of voting against him.)
•Animal Planet has released the starting lineups for Sunday's Puppy Bowl VI. Hey, I'm working Sunday...maybe you guys want someone to liveblog the Puppy Bowl? I could liveblog the Puppy Bowl. Please ask me to liveblog the Puppy Bowl.
(I'm told by the reader who sent in today's screengrab that this is something called Gino The Ginny. I have no idea what that is. Apparently a MySpace thing.)
It's Thursday, so wakey wakey, eggs and bakey.

Lawyers are ready to help during these stressful times. Schedule your consultation >
If you or someone you love has suffered a spinal cord injury, you will obviously deal with important medical and emotional issues related to the injury. If a spinal cord injury is the result of a vehicle accident, boat or bicycle accident, a slip and fall, or a physical attack, or you have been injured at work, or injured as a result of medical malpractice, then you may be entitled to compensation for your injury. Compensation typically covers your present and future medical bills, lost wages, and your pain and suffering, including your lost ability to enjoy the things in life that you would have otherwise been able to enjoy. Even if you think your injury occurred purely by accident, the law often imposes liability in ways that you might not be aware of. It is important to discuss your situation with an attorney experienced in spinal cord injuries, to understand your rights and get the compensation you are entitled to under the law.

When 'Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park' Debuted on TV
Looking for a great... well, good... OK, really cheesy science fiction rock and roll movie to watch on Halloween? Well, you can always travel back in time with Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park, which aired on Oct. 28, 1978 as one of NBC's Movies of the Week, and is now available on DVD.
If you weren't watching your television set that infamous night, consider yourself in the minority. Kids all over America anticipated this film for weeks, and trick or treating became secondary. In some countries overseas, it was even released in movie theaters under the name Attack of the Phantoms.
Kiss were at the top of their game by this point. There was no escaping them (not that you wanted to) and the only territory left for them to conquer was the movies. Based on the superhero-like characters they played in their concerts -- Paul Stanley (Starchild), Gene Simmons (Demon), Ace Frehley (Spaceman) and Peter Criss (Catman) -- the band set out to battle the wicked inventor Abner Devereaux and his "evil" robot version of the band, all to save a California amusement park from destruction.
Though horror director Gordon Hessler and producers Hanna-Barbera were involved, the film just couldn't be saved. There was an initial excitement about seeing the band on television, but it soon became painfully obvious that Kiss fared better as musicians than actors -- even the biggest of fans admitted 'Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park' just didn't cut it. The band was embarrassed by the end result, but, as tends to happen with such odd projects, the film is now regarded as a cult classic.

The investigation into Marine Gen. John R. Allen is now focused on 60-70 emails exchanged with Florida socialite Jill Kelley, a U.S. defense official said.
The official told The New York Times the emails with Kelley might violate Defense Department policy and regulations or military law. While the two exchanged several hundred messages, only some "bear a fair amount of scrutiny."
Kelley had an unofficial but close relationship with members of the military at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, the headquarters of Central Command, becoming friendly with Allen and CIA Director David Petraeus, who resigned this month. Her email exchanges with Allen came to light when she complained of receiving harassing emails that turned out to be from Paula Broadwell, Petraeus' biographer and one-time lover.
The investigation has delayed Allen's appointment as NATO commander in Europe. While the official said as many as 15 investigators are working seven days a week on the Allen investigation, it could still take some time.
The defense official said the FBI gave the Defense Department the emails.
"They just forwarded the evidence," he told the Times. "People have to go through and decide if they fit one of three potential violations."

Sunday 27th february BFV / BF42
ok people, if you still have your BFV or BF42 disks i suggest you get the game installed and patched. Sunday 27th 8pm i want as many as possible for a session. We can find a server to jump on, make sure you have xfire on and running my xfire ID in case you don't have it is "ftajaz" . I want people to post up on here if they would prefer BF42 of BFV. We will go with the majority vote.
It's time for |FTA| to get gaming again and to get the community spirit flowing again.
This Sunday I'm at a LAN in Uttoxeter unfortunately. #
Also does everyone use steam? I stopped using xfire a long time ago as I had far too many different IM programs running I've cut down to Steam and Skype. Might be worth creating a steam group as you can send game invites out to everyone in the group.
my steam is ukjazman :)
so apart from myself and krepper it looks like nobody is interested then?
I really, really want to and bought BF2 Bad company etc but played it for a sum total of 30 seconds (lol no lie!) and haven't had time to touch it since. I just have no time for gaming which totally and utterly sucks I really do hope this changes in time but there is chace currently.
All this work is the main reason why I haven't done much with the game server I set up either, would love to give you all the details but it all nees tweaking and I just can't do it atm :(
Hello chaps hope your all fine and dandy :)
The {SAS} have been having some thoughts of similar retro action !
Clicky Penn spotted this and linked this thread on our forum - so thought id do visa versa and possibly hook up for a bit of '42 gheyness ?
Cheers lads ;)
sounds good m8

David Vassilian necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 108 diseños de 41 diseñadores freelance.
You get to name it as well! You get to develop and coordinate the name, logo and theme.
We are 2 partners looking to start our dream express car wash. It will be a $5 fully automated exterior express car wash with 90 feet of state of the art computer controlled multi-wash stage equipment and environmentally friendly biodegradable soaps. 90% of the water will be recycled as well. Customers drive up to an auto teller machine, select their wash, pay with cash or credit card and drive their cars in one side of the tunnel dirty, and in less than 5-minutes they come out clean, dry and shiny. We will also offer free self serve vacuums for customers to clean the inside and touch up their cars. We will offer a top quality exterior car wash at a great $5 price, in less than 5 minutes, free self serve vacuums and open longer hours of 6am to 9pm 7 days a week.
Everyone that owns a car. Including "soccer moms" who don't want to unload the kids and shopping bags out of the car, males and females ages 25 - 60 who are busy on their way to work, shopping, sports, and don't have time to wait 45 minutes and pay triple plus tip at a full service car wash. Also car owners who don't like car wash employees in their cars or who don't want to unload valuables and shopping bags to get a car washed. People who are environmentally conscious about home washing water waste and runoff into storm drains. Also, apartment renters with no place to wash.
People who like to do things themselves and know they can clean the interior better than a stranger at a full service car wash. It can also be a family event where kids can help clean and vacuum the interior of their family vehicle.
Also, any car owner who is looking for great value. $5 and 5 minutes for a car wash is not worth the 1 hour of a persons time of washing and drying a car at home. Also, this is a better value than the $3 self service coin spray wand car washes where you have to get out, wash and dry your car yourself and pay a $1 for a 2 minute vacuum.
Also, any car owner who is fed up going to a slow $5 gas station wash that makes their car look worse than when it was before going through the wash.
Small fleets of plumbing vans, taxis, etc.. will also appreciate the speed and value.
We are looking for a creative logo, name and theme to represent our Express Car Wash.
We would love to have the logo, name and theme incorporate Quality, $5 price, 5 Minute Speed of Service, Free Vacs, Water, Cars, and Fun but here are a few things to think about:
1. No Cartoons - we want it to be playful but not cheap or childlike.
2. Nothing too elegant. We want the locals to feel like they can afford to have their cars washed here a couple times a week.
3. The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. We want something that stands out and implies Quality.
4. The car wash facility is located in car loving So. California.
5. We would like to be the cool and hip place.
6. The operation is "eco-friendly" by using recycled water and only bio-degradable chemicals.
7. The words "Car Wash" should be a dominant factor in the name.
Here is an example of a logo that we like:
Here is an example of what we are trying to avoid:
Please feel free to experiment with colors, themes and names!
The files we will require are:
Print and Web file format
Please no stock images or clip art in the logo.

Serial rapists are nothing new to Charlottesville. In 1975, when rapes were at an all-time high, the Cavalier Daily routinely referred to the town as "rape city," according to Coy Barefoot in his book, The Corner.
What caused Charlottesville rape statistics to spike in the mid-'70s? Barefoot draws a correlation to the admission of women to the University of Virginia in 1970. "Clearly, that's why the numbers went up," he says.
Jim Haden, who was a lieutenant in investigations with the Charlottesville Police Department then, concurs that UVA's going coed had an effect on the number of rapes– 15 to 20 a year– in Charlottesville. And prosecuting rapes was a much more difficult process then without the benefit of DNA evidence.
"We had to come up with a suspect," he says. Police could use semen swabs and vaginal swabs, but "If the blood types were the same, there wasn't much you could do" he says.
The biggest development during the '70s, recalls Haden, was the development of the PERK kit. The Physical Evidence Recovery Kit standardized a wildly varying process of collecting evidence, providing a specific procedure for doctors and nurses to follow.
John DeKoven "Deke" Bowen, who was police chief at the time, remembers extensive stake-outs of the university area. "We had a series of sexual assaults in the university area," he says. But he adds, "I can't think of anything with the brutality of these" latest rapes.
Virginia's DNA databank gave a definite advantage to police in the late 1990s in catching offenders, leading to convictions of four Charlottesville serial rapists.
Calvin Perry was a convicted murderer out on parole when he raped two women on the same weekend in April 1993. Thanks to a DNA cold hit, he was indicted seven years later in June 2000, and on March 22, 2001, in Charlottesville Circuit Court, he was sentenced to life imprisonment, with all suspended except for 25 years.
UVA student Christopher McAllister was a suspect in four sexual assaults, according to police. He was arrested in 1997 and indicted for a 1994 assault and battery and for intent to commit rape in 1995. On April 14, 1998, he was sentenced to 65 years in prison, with 48 years suspended.
Shannon Malnowski, one of Charlottesville's more notorious serial rapists, is suspected of assaulting at least four women, including a 78-year-old woman off Rugby Road on July 4, 1997.
When a woman was attacked July 28, 2000, at the Charlottesville High School track, witnesses mentioned seeing a black male riding a bicycle in the area. Police officers tied that detail to a report that after a fight with his girlfriend, Malnowski had ridden off on a bicycle. When his DNA sample was analyzed, it tied him to the rape of the elderly woman, as well as to a November 1996 assault.
On November 9, 2001, Malnowski was sentenced to life imprisonment in Albemarle Circuit Court. Two weeks later on November 26, he was sentenced in Charlottesville Circuit Court to 50 years in prison.
On April 17, 2001, Michael Plum grabbed a woman in daylight and assaulted her in Tonsler Park in an attack so brazen that people were reporting it on their cell phones, according to police. His DNA matched that found in the attack of a UVA student who was raped at Beta Bridge in 1998. Plum was sentenced to 185 years in prison, with 120 suspended.
Police note one big difference in the local serial rapists: They describe Malnowski and Plum as opportunist rapists who acted on impulse in their attacks, unlike the predator who's currently hunting for targets in Charlottesville.

NORFOLK, Va. - The body of a pilot who had been missing since a helicopter crashed last week off the coast of Virginia has been recovered, the Navy said.
U.S. Fleet Forces Command said divers recovered the body of 39-year-old Lt. Sean Christopher Snyder, of Santee, Calif., on Tuesday, a day after locating the helicopter's cockpit.
Five crew members were aboard the MH-53E Sea Dragon when it crashed Jan. 8 in the Atlantic Ocean about 18 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach. The Navy says the helicopter was taking part in routine mine countermeasure training when it crashed.
The other four crew members were pulled from the water, but two died later at a civilian hospital. The other two have been released from the hospital.
A memorial service for the three crew members killed in the crash has been planned for Friday at Naval Station Norfolk, where the helicopter's squadron is based.
"The family is truly thankful to the men and women of the United States Navy," Snyder's family said in a statement released by the Navy. "Sean was a man of honor and a true hero, not only to his country, but also to his wife, children, family, and friends. Our strength and trust remain in Christ."
The other sailors who died in the crash were Petty Officer 3rd Class Brian Collins, 25, a pilot from Truckee, Calif., and Lt. Wesley Van Dorn, 29, a crewman from Greensboro, N.C. The Navy has not released the name of the two crew members who were injured.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
