I agree a lot with Blovski's comments. The non-piety costs of Absolution aren't trivial. I lost a Super-absolved Dragon Isles run because I ran out of ways to clear curse stacks and to level up. I probably would have been okay if I had been more reasonable about how hard I Absolved.
Rogues are always going to break if they are allowed to circumvent their health issue while also stacking damage bonuses. Heal stacking is already weakly supported and I'd rather accept that the Rogue is going to be a bit wonky than chase health stacking into a corner.
Anyone try a Purist Orc Rogue? It's not actually all that good. If you find Glowing Guardian, Earthmother, or JJ in a timely fashion you can make it work, but there are lots of times where it just doesn't. I had an Orc Rogue who got Dwarven Gauntlets at level one, but still couldn't tank a hit from most of the bosses. It was a total shut out.
The classic Dwarven Rogue will consistently work on any map while having non-insane damage, but he doesn't get much attention because most of the balancing discussion is centered on hyper-prepped runs.
Earthmother can also give similar health boosts at a similar level and at a lesser cost of popcorn, while also being easier to escape from, but she doesn't see much use in VICIOUS because the plant spam is terribad on all but the most open of maps. I'm hoping that he new VICIOUS totem will open the field up for her a bit.

Tigers Sweep Saint Louis; Will Face Arkansas-Pine Bluff for Title
NASHVILLE, Tenn. –Tennessee State used the same recipe to sweep Saint Louis on day two of the 2014 Tiger Invitational. The Tigers set them up and the Morris twins set them down. Kate Morris picked up key RBI hits in each game, while Shea Morris closed out both games with saves.
The Tigers thwarted a Billiken comeback in game one for a 4-3 win to close out pool play undefeated. TSU closed out day two action with a 3-0 shutout in the first round of bracket play. The two wins secure a spot on the championship game, as they improve to 11-15. SLU falls to 8-7.
The Tigers used a four-run fourth inning to take control of game one. Kate Morris stepped to the plate with bases loaded and came through with a big double for the second straight game. Morris drove the ball into left center allowing the speedy Kiarra Freeman to charge around the bases right behind Lindsey Burgess and Liz Stansberry.
Stansberry led off the inning with a hit, ahead of the second double of the game by Burgess. Freeman earned a walk to set up the Morris gaper.
The Tigers upped the lead to 4-0 as Rebbekka Gross singled to center to push home Morris from second base.
Hannah St. Clair worked out of a bases loaded jam in the first and settled in to retire 10 of the next 11 batters. Saint Louis would get to the freshman hurler in the fifth, as they used a two-run home run and an RBI double to get with in a run of the Tigers.
St. Clair made way for Shea Morris who entered in the top of the fifth with the tying run on second. Morris would catch Elizabeth Everingham looking to end the threat. The junior would shut down the Billikens over the final two innings with four strikeouts to earn her third save of the season.
St. Clair acquired her second consecutive win in as many games and is now 2-3.
In the night cap, the Tigers pounced for two runs in the third. Kate Morris delivered an RBI hit with a drive through the left side of the infield to score Burgess from second. On the play, SLU tried to throw out Freeman at third, but the throw ended up in left field. Freeman wasted no time, as she sprinted home to give TSU an early 2-0 lead.
Burgess added to the lead as she blasted a solo home run to right field with two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning, making the score 3-0.
Shea Morris entered in the top of the fifth with two outs and runners on second and third. In a repeat of the first game, Morris was able to strikeout a Billiken hitter to avoid any damage. Morris replaced starter Olivia Gamache, who went the first 4.2 innings keeping the Billikens off the board as she scattered four hits and three walks. Gamache fanned five as she earned the win and improved to 3-6.
Morris held SLU hitless during her time in the circle and struck out five of the seven batters she faced to earn her fourth save of the season. It was the second on the day and third of the tournament. The save is the seventh in her career, making her the all-time leader in saves in TSU history.
Burgess finished the day 4-for-6 with two doubles and a home run. Kate Morris recorded four RBI on the day.
The final of the Invitational will consist of the consolation game at 11:00am between Saint Louis and North Carolina A&T. The Tigers will face Arkansas-Pine Bluff in the championship game at 1:15pm. All games can be seen on OVCDigitalNetwork.com.

Brussels Sprouts Stuffed Portobello Mushroom With Mashed Potato Topping
Anyway, I love big portobello caps because they are a perfect vessel to recycle leftovers. Wash, bake, stuff, re-bake, and done! I had some leftover chopped and sautéed Brussels sprouts, along with some leftover mashed potatoes that needed to be used up. There was only enough for one person, which was fine because Mr. Wing-It would rather eat his own foot before he even looks at a Brussels sprout. More for me!
Here's how to make a recycled-leftovers stuffed mushroom:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Gently wash and dry your mushroom. Remove the stem.
Brush a little olive oil all over the mushroom.
Bake it for 10 minutes.
Stuff it with your leftover veggies and top it with your leftover mashed potatoes.
If you want, brush a bit of olive oil on top of the mashed potatoes and sprinkle a little paprika on top.
Bake for 10 more minutes or until hot. Serve!
Brushing a bit of olive oil on top before baking it gives it a nice golden color.
These were the best leftovers I have ever had! Maybe next time I will stuff them with seasoned black beans and top them with mashed sweet potatoes. Or stuff them with a spicy spinach concoction and top them with mashed butternut squash! Oh, the possibilities! Let's dig in...
PS: Have you guys seen the video of Bo inspecting the Christmas decorations around the White House? His WTF (What the Frankincense) face at 1:04 when he's looking at the Faux-Bo is too cute and funny for words!

that looks amazing! I am so hungry.ReplyDelete
Oh my, this looks so wonderful! I can't get enough brussels sprouts, and portobellos haven't made an appearance in my kitchen in quite some time. I'll have to give this a try!ReplyDelete
It's kind of like a shepherd's pie — shepherd's shroom? It sounds scrumptious, but really, I expected the taters to be piped!ReplyDelete
First of all, I LOVE brussels sprouts, so this is definitely an awesome savory recipe.ReplyDelete
Secondly, that video of Bo is too cute :D

We just call them "open cap mushrooms" here in Australia. You can buy smaller ones...or bigger ones and no portobello/portabella argument exists here ;). Those stuffed caps look delicious! I am in the enviable position of suffering a glut of mushrooms. We top dressed our veggie garden with mushroom compost this year and the mushrooms are going mental out there and I have paper bags full of them. I am adding them to everything and have regular open capped mushrooms and Swiss browns so your recipe will be explored in the near future as I LOVE Brussels sprouts and Steve only eats tiny ones with Christmas dinner (a very VERY selective use for Brussels sprouts ;) ) so it's up to me to keep the home fires burning so to speak :)ReplyDeleteReplies
I like it! I'm moving to Australia then! :DDelete
Very enviable position indeed! That must be quite the sight. So I'm moving to Australia and I'm moving into your neighborhood! If you notice any mushrooms missing from your garden... it must be the elves and fairies... not me. Mwahaha!

Cleopatra (klēəpă´trə, –pā´–, –pä´–), 69 BC–30 BC, queen of Egypt, one of the great romantic heroines of all time. Her name was widely used in the Ptolemaic family; she was Cleopatra VII. The daughter of Ptolemy XII, she was married at the age of 17 (as was the family custom) to her younger brother Ptolemy XIII, and the two inherited the crown in 51 BC The force and character of the royal pair was, however, concentrated in the alluring (though apparently not beautiful), intelligent, and ambitious queen. She led a revolt against her brother, and, obtaining the aid of Julius Caesar, whose mistress she had become, she won the kingdom, although it remained a vassal of Rome. During the war, her young brother-husband was accidentally drowned in the Nile. She then married her still younger brother Ptolemy XIV, but she followed Caesar to Rome; there she bore a son, Caesarion (later Ptolemy XV), who was said to be his.
Returning to Egypt after the murder of Caesar and the battle of Philippi, she acceded to the summons of Marc Antony to meet him at Tarsus. She famously arrived (42 BC) on a gilded, purple-sailed barge, reclining on a divan and luxuriously attended. Intending to demand an account of her actions, he fell hopelessly in love with her. Cleopatra, conscious of her royalty and even her claims to divinity as the pharaoh's daughter, seems to have hoped to use Antony to reestablish the real power of the Egyptian throne. They were married in 36 BC Most of the Romans feared and hated Cleopatra, and Octavian (later Augustus) undertook to destroy the two lovers. Antony and Cleopatra were defeated in a battle off Actium in 31 BC, and, returning to Alexandria, they tried to defend themselves in Egypt. When they failed, Antony committed suicide by falling on his sword. Cleopatra, faced by the cold and unmoved Octavian, also killed herself. Her schemes ultimately failed, but her ambition, capability, and remarkable charm have left a great impression on history. Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra, based on Plutarch, describes the tragic end of the queen's career, and Dryden's All for Love: or, The World Well Lost is a reworking of Shakespeare. Caesar and Cleopatra, the comedy by G. B. Shaw, deals with the early years of her story.

Hi. These are just my thoughts that I put into words during this quarantine. I also miss the beach so much so I'm attaching the photo I took during my last beach trip. Thanks and stay safe! ???? ----
Lately, it has been a roller coaster ride of emotions. You were happy and then you just found yourself feeling empty and lost the next day. Sometimes, it occurs all at once. All the aversion and the doubts, the frustration, the feeling of not feeling anything but sadness. It's all gonna drown you. And it's not gonna be easy. You're gonna question all that you're doing- if in any case, you're achieving anything or if you're succeeding with the path that you take. You wonder if you're now heading to the right direction or still lost and wandering. We all fight these kind of thoughts and struggles.
In life, you can never be happy and content at all times. All the broken pieces will remain to be broken. You're still gonna breakdown at some point; you're still gonna cry. But don't be hopeless. Even though life is throwing you with so many reasons to give up, please fight. Don't be hopeless. I'm gonna agree with you, if you'll say "it's not easy" But none of the things that are worthwhile in life is ever easy.
I wish you well.
, Marj
I know that right now, things are not okay. There's a deadly virus. You lost your job. You have no money and you have to pay your bills. You suddenly broke up with your boyfriend. You can't figure out what's going on. It's like you're facing blank walls and you're lost in a different world.
You are sad, confused and totally scared. But dear, you don't have to keep it all inside. You can talk about it. Telling your fears and troubles is not a bad thing. It's never wrong to be honest. It maybe frightening at first but it will make you feel better. Don't be afraid to ask for help. It took me a while to learn this. It was a complete struggle and I forced myself to believe that I was okay even if I was not.
For many years, I kept everything to myself. And it was very difficult to fight my battles alone. I even reached the point when I wanted to give up because I was already tired of all the fears, pains, rejections and disappointments. Until I have learned to accept that sometimes, things don't go our way. And it's okay to fail, to cry, to be different, to get angry, to feel negative emotions because it makes us human. Admitting that you're not okay and knowing that it's okay is your first step to healing.
You don't have to be perfect. You have nothing to prove to anyone. Your mistakes and failures do not make you any less. And if you're going through a hard time, talk to people you trust. Remember that your feeling is valid, no matter what it is. So, don't be afraid to show your emotions. Nothing is wrong with that. That's what I did and it really helped me a lot. Think of the things that make you happy. Do them all over again. Choose to relax and appreciate everything that you have. And don't forget to pray. Life is beautiful, so, always take care of yourself.

With the world suffering by crisis and chaos today, where everyone of us seems to be caged, may be in our home, in our thoughts, with our regrets, or even with someone whom we can never have, while sulking in our house with our home works and household choirs, there are those idle moments when I stop and stare into oblivion, I can't help but to think about those moments where we are the happiest, or we are the most sad, we have our own highlights of our life, either our downfall or shortcomings, sometimes our triumphs, but how about those moments caught in between but played as much as important episode to those we remember the most?
Sometimes you can't help but to think about those moments in between. We think that our life is built by big moments, but little do we realized how little they play in our lives, we barely even consider the little things, that made a huge impact in our lives, maybe it wasn't about the medal you've got from winning an essay contest, but the stranger who let you borrow his/her pen because you forgot yours at home, maybe it wasn't the brand new watch that your parents gave you as a present but the person that you saved unconsciously, asking you what time is it because he/she was worried he/she might be late for the class.
Admit it, or not, we have all took those moments for granted, those moments when everything is in between. In times like this, where a crisis is on the midst, our mind often wanders elsewhere, there will always be that moments that the silence of our room will be filled by the cacophonies of our thoughts that strangle us in the subtle ways. The only solace we could find in this misery is sometimes our memories, not the big ones but those moments we once thought idle, who would have guess that the last time you drink your favorite coffee was a month ago, or the comfort of your favorite street you passed after school, hoping you could meet the person you want to talked to accidentally, the way you rush to the favorite fast food chain after a tiring day, hoping for a cone of ice cream, our life will always be built by these moments.
There will always be something in between, that stiches two extremes into a one fine art, between love and pain, there is learning, the midnight always reminds us that yesterday is over but there is always a tomorrow waiting for us to rise, between our dreams and our failures, there is hope, the wisest person sometimes understand that life is a prism, it can blind us with all the colors and wonders of its side, but there is one source of light that made all those colors possible. Take a chance to be that light, that sees not only the parts that we hide, nor the highlights of our lives but those moments of everything in between.
TITLE: Good night
It was the morning of May 5; I went to the ICU to take the morning shift. I peeked from the sliding door and saw a female doctor and 3 nurses probably making their rounds. Half asleep, I entered the room not realizing what was happening. I sat in front of my grandma's bed, waiting for the doctors to leave. My aunt was crying from the corner of the room, I thought that perhaps my grandma was deteriorating. Then the monitor on the upper left part of the bed kept beeping, then the lady in white coat announced "time of death 8:50".
Everything froze, I didn't understand a thing. I saw my aunt hug our grandma so tight, shaking out of grief and desperation. I sat there frozen and speechless, it was so surreal I thought it was a dream. My sister who was sitting beside me took a few heavy steps towards grandma's bed. She hugged our grandma and whispered words lost in between her sobs.
When it was my time, I held her right hand, the hand I used to wipe and hold. It wasn't cold, it was still warm, soft and wrinkly. The bruises from countless injections she endured. I pressed her hand trying to wake her up, more tears rolled when she wouldn't respond. "Inang! Agriing kan a, bigaten!" (Granma wake up, it's morning already) I wrapped my hands around her, she's the same Inang I used to hug but this time she isn't hugging me back. I tried to wake her up a couple more times more desperate than the last. I wanted to see those little eyes open again and look at me. I wanted her to ask me "apaya nakkong?" (why my dear?) once more. How about calling me miss Universe when she forgets my name. I loved her and will love her even if she calls me the wrong name.
I still remember the night she held my hands so tight she said " haan nak panpanawan a, ta nu matay nak ket haan ko nga maymaysa." (Please don't leave me so that if I die, I will not be alone "I hope I fulfilled my promise to her I hope she didn't die lonely but happy. The room was enveloped with grief engraved in the cries we made but in the middle of the room, there she lies. She laid still, she looked so serene and peaceful. It looked like she was having a good nap. It was the first time in years that I saw her sleep so tight.
After all the restless nights she can finally sleep. I wiped my tears as I marvel the way she looked. It was a painful but beautiful sight. I wanted her to wake up but how could I ask that if she looked so peaceful now? After all the pain she endured she is finally resting. I couldn't ask her to come back when I know she's in a better place. She is free now, free from pain and suffering. I stop waking her up and held her hand tightly, in between my cries I bid goodbye. To my dearest Inang Nani, go on find the light. I know Tatang and Tito are waiting for your arrival. Rest well Inang, Good night.
Loneliness that Turned into Beautiful Solitude
Are you one of those many people who experienced loneliness? The moment where you do not have someone else to rely on. Have you experienced it? Going home with a lot of thoughts running in your mind but no one was there to listen. Have you ever felt bad for yourself? In realizing that you were the only one left. When every one else was leaving. When most people around you have chosen others over you. Have you experienced the pain? The pain of being alone? A lot of people are afraid to be alone for various reasons. Some people says that they are just used to something that there is always someone out there for them. Someone who is always there. Someone who is always ready to accompany them in all. Someone who is always willing to stay. Stays in your best and most especially at your worst. While others simply do not have the courage to face the world of loneliness. I, experienced the pain of loneliness but gained a lot of benefit from it.
Living alone is not a simple thing for me to do but for me to survive and acquire proper education, I have to. I have to learn to live alone. In living alone, I had face a lot of difficulties. I encountered a lot of problems that were made to be fixed by many but was able to get it fixed by myself. Yes it was hard, it is hard. It was never easy to begin with. There will be times or days that it can make you drain and cause you countless sleepless nights. Yes, it is painful. But we have to realize that in loneliness, we can also find peace in ourselves. The "YOU". The genuine "YOU".
People are so afraid to experience loneliness. Most of us do not realize that with so much fear of being alone, we started to forget that good things come from being alone. As time pass by, I got used in solving problems by myself, I learned to live alone, I saw the "beauty of loneliness" that's how my loneliness slowly turned into beautiful solitude. As time passes by, I realized that there are a lot of good things that you can get in being alone. So, for those who are reading this, I hope you guys learn to appreciate the beauty of being alone.

WASHINGTON — Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is calling Barack Obama "one of the most ineffective presidents" he's ever seen, and says he can beat him next year.
Romney tells NBC in an interview that while Obama wasn't responsible for the recession he inherited, "he made things worse. He's failed."Story: Romney sets date to announce presidential run
Romney also says he thinks Obama lacks "a cogent assessment" of world affairs. The Republican charges, in his words, "The Arab spring came, one of the greatest opportunities we've seen in decades, and we've been flatfooted."Story: GOP presidential contenders drift to the right
Romney, who plans to formally get into the GOP race later this week, says he doesn't think his Mormon faith will be an obstacle to winning the GOP presidential nod, saying "we're not electing a pastor in chief, we're electing a commander in chief."

- New medal for greatest point increase for a time period or for a winning streak
- Medal would be awarded to a member based on an increase in points for a time period. The increase could be based on raw points, percentage of increase, or whatever formula we can come up with. Another idea would be to have a medal for a 10 game win streak in various styles of play (quads/trips/dubs/ single)
How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
- I feel the number of games created and played would increase. The more medals the better IMHO. Owning this medal would show who was the "hottest" player(s) that day.

Curtain fence spooks cattle but allows boaters to navigate through
By Jim Mimiaga Journal staff writer
A creative solution to a vexing problem between upper Dolores river boaters and area ranchers is moving forward.
After spring runoff when ideal boating flows disappear, cattle fencing is strung up across the river to control herds in the valley.
A rushing river is a natural fence for cattle, but at low flows they don't see it as an obstacle and can wander away.
The problem arises when there are significant monsoon rains in late summer and fall. The river again becomes a torrent, giving boaters a much appreciated second season.
However, ranching operations still have cattle fencing across the river during that time, causing a potential hazard for downstream boaters.
A few boater run-ins with fences have occurred in recent years from Bear Creek to Dolores. Most have been minor, but one last year was more serious after a man on a paddle board was snared by barbed wire that was just under the surface. He escaped.
After the accident, the Dolores River Boating Advocates collaborated with ranch owner Bruce Lightenburger to plan a boater-friendly fence that also deters cattle.
Two PVC curtain fences will be installed at the points where the river enters and leaves Lightenburger's ranch.
"Boaters can maneuver through it, and it spooks the cattle, so it is a safe alternative that works for ranchers and boaters," said Lee-Ann Hill, program coordinator for the DRBA.
The new fence is a high cable is extended across the river with PVC pipes spaced 1-2 feet across that hang down to the water.
"The white pipe is highly visible, and the boaters can easily push through it," said Wade Hanson, a DRBA board member working on the design. "It moves in the breeze and is a visual barrier to the cattle."
Boaters will notice the first fence at the bend where the river turns west near a large silver hay barn. The second will be installed as boaters exit the private ranch.
The fences would be removed during the winter off-season.
Hill said the boating group will pay for the materials, expected to cost $1,200. Volunteers are planning to install the fences in June in cooperation with Lightenburger and his ranch foreman.
"The local rafting group reached out and have been a pleasure to work with," Lightenburger said. "This new type of fence solves their problem and keeps my cows in. It's a slam dunk for both of us."
Reports from boaters on the upper Dolores River are that there are no fence hazards, just frigid water, snow squalls big-water rapids.

Longboat Key Building Official Randy Fowler resigned Thursday, June 18, citing frustration over recent layoffs and how the building department's finances were handled in recent years.
"Trying to work through budget issues and staffing issues got to be too much," said Fowler, the longest tenured employee at the town. "It got to the point in time where it just wasn't working for me anymore."
A year ago this month, Fowler told The Longboat Observer that, in his opinion, the building division of the Planning, Zoning and Building Department has been overcharged for town services, which created a false operating deficit.
Fowler says the building division has provided $12 million in revenue to the town's general fund over the past 10 years. However, Fowler says that at least 44% of each year's building-division revenue has been paid to the general fund to pay for administrative services the town provides the department, with the remaining revenue used to pay for the division's direct expenses.
The town, Fowler said, has charged the department too much for administrative costs. He also believes that the building department's losses in the past couple of years could have been avoided if the town hadn't decreased its permit fees years ago.
Fowler also claims that the building official should be in charge of the department, because, according to state statutes, a building official is deemed an administrative supervisor.
Town Manager Bruce St. Denis disagreed with Fowler's claims last year and did so again this week.
"Randy's expertise is in the building department only," St. Denis said. "Randy was not a department director. Our finance director and finance consultants advise us on how to properly run the department."
The final straw for Fowler, however, came when an inspector, a plan reviewer and an administrative assistant were laid off in May from his division to save the town a combined $200,000.
Fowler said he was out of town at a conference when he heard the news and said he was upset that the decision was made without his knowledge.
Planning, Zoning and Building Director Monica Daigle, however, disputes Fowler's claim.
"I would never make a personnel decision that impacts the building official without consulting Randy first," Daigle said. "Randy and I had many discussions about layoffs that were pending, which people might be laid off and in what order those layoffs could occur."
Daigle sent an e-mail to town employees Friday, June 19, in which she named building inspector John Fernandez as the interim building official, effective Monday, June 22. Fernandez's salary rose from $61,776 to $72,404.80 when he accepted the interim position.
Fernandez is the former Holmes Beach building official and has the necessary licensing for the position, Daigle said. Fernandez has been a building inspector for the town since 1996.
In the interim, Daigle will assume Fowler's former role as the town's code administrator.
Fowler's departure also led to the re-hiring of Belton Wall effective Monday, June 22, at his former salary of $57,574.40. Wall was one of the three building department employees laid off in May.
Daigle said Wall was re-hired "to facilitate the reorganization of the department" due to Fowler's departure.
Town accountant Sandi Henley said the revised savings amount from the building division will be reflected in the Aug. 1 recommended budget.
Fowler, who just last year received a pay raise, an additional two weeks vacation and the ability to draw his pension while collecting a new annual salary of $92,622.40, requested a three-month salary payout as an at-will employee, in addition to the payout of his unused vacation days and a year's worth of medical coverage.
St. Denis, however, said Fowler will not receive a three-month salary payout because he resigned and was not terminated.
Fowler's official last day as a town employee is Friday, July 3. Fowler is currently using medical leave and discretionary time because he injured his Achilles heel while performing inspections that were formerly done by an inspector.
"My job was not to dig the holes and town staff made it that way," Fowler said. "I'm leaving on my terms."
But despite his departure, Fowler said he's not leaving as a disgruntled employee.
"I still own property on Longboat Key and have a lot of ties to the community," Fowler said. "It's my home and I just want to see it run properly."
Longboat Key Building Official Randy Fowler resigned Thursday, June 18, citing frustration over recent layoffs and how the building department's finances were handled in recent years.

Two people shot Tuesday night remain hospitalized with serious injuries as police seek the public's help in finding the man who shot them.
Police are asking for the public's help in finding the man who shot two people sitting in a parked truck in a northeast Canton neighborhood Tuesday night.
Theresa Grant, 48, of Wallace Avenue SE, and Larry Blair, 55, of Edwards Avenue NE, remained in Mercy Medical Center Wednesday morning where they were being treated for gunshot wounds, said Capt. Dave Davis, who heads the police department's Detective Bureau.
Grant, who'd been shot in the head, was in critical condition, he said. Blair's condition was unknown. Blair had been shot in the arm.
The shooting occurred at 9:51 p.m. Tuesday in front of a home in the 900 block of Sandal Place NE.
Grant and Blair were sitting in the parked truck in front of the home when a man wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt approached and fired several shots into the truck, Davis said.
As he fled the scene, the victims got out of the truck and ran up onto the front porch of the home, trying to get help.
Police arrived to find them on the porch.
Detectives believe that neither Grant nor Blair knew the man who shot them.
Davis said anyone with information about the shooting or the gunman should call detectives at 330-489-3144 or the city's anonymous tip line at tip411. Text message the police department by texting the word CANTON and then the message 847411, which is also tip411.

Police: Drunk Auburn mom crashes car while driving with 5 children
AUBURN (AP) -- Authorities say a central New York woman was drunk and impaired by drugs when she crashed a car into another vehicle, injuring her three young children and two others riding with her.
Police in Auburn say 28-year-old Michelle Andujar hit a parked sports utility vehicle around 11:20 p.m. Wednesday. Officers say the five children ranging in age from 1 to 10 weren't restrained and all suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Police say a woman riding with Andujar was the mother of the other two children, including a 4-year-old who was sitting on her lap.
The charges against Andujar include driving while intoxicated and endangering the welfare of a child. The other woman also charged with child endangerment.
It couldn't be determined if Andujar had a lawyer.

Hi there, my name is Ian I am seeking tennis partner for mixed doubles tournament in Abbotsford . let me know if you are interested. Thanks, Ian"
Hi Lindsay,
Are you still looking for hitting partners (weekends or weekday evenings)? You can look up my profile. I am just looking for a hitting partner. I am not looking for a match (I doubt I could give you much of a match these days as I do not play very regularly anymore and have not played competitively for quite some time now). If you are interested in just hitting, then please send me a message.
I live in West Vancouver, but I can drive to Kits or wherever. I could also meet up after normal office hours Monday to Friday as I work downtown (while there is still daylight).
I'm looking for practice partners who can keep up with me. My current tennis partners can't really hang in anymore.

Quest for Arete necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 90 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
Quest for Arete
The creators of Quest for Arete (ARE-a-tay), a new collectible card game (CCG), are seeking finalized designs of the game logo. "Arete" is a Greek term meaning "excellence." The logo is a stylized lowercase "a" to represent the term "arete."
Quest for Arete is a CCG where players take on the role of a sorcerer's apprentice and use their skills and training with magical elements (each represented by a card) to create spells, collect rare elements and customize their card decks to achieve excellence.
In the game the apprentices are charged by their master to go into the world to restore the spirit of excellence that is missing from the land. Each must duel any other sorcerer's apprentice they meet. Every duel, won or lost, increases their knowledge and mastery of the elements and their own excellence. As they increase their skills and understanding they can collect and use more powerful elements and customize their deck of cards.
Look for more design contests for Quest for Arete card art and frame design. Check us out at questforarete.com (coming soon)
Collectible Card Game players (existing and new) age 10 and up
Game retailers and distributors
The Q4A logo will be used on all the game's marketing communications.
The goal is a simple, elegant design easily recognized and associated with the game.
The immediate use of the logo will be on the initial decks of cards, packaging and advertising media.
We are seeking a variety of looks for the design, such as embroidered in fabric, minted in coins, worked into leather, on the breastplate of armor, etched in stone, appearing in flames or smoke, etc.
The attached examples include
- a character art piece in which the logo is visible in the flames of his torch.
- a character art sketch with the logo on the subjects' clothes
- a rough outline drawing of the basic shape of the logo

HAMPTON, VA — The Navy is changing its fitness programming in response to rising obesity rates among recruits. The service has a new Navy Operational Fitness and Fueling Series (NOFFS) program and a new protocol in place for body fat standards.
The NOFFS program was previewed last month at the Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Conference in Hampton, VA.
"NOFFS is seated in injury prevention principles," says Lisa Sexauer, fitness, sports and deployed forces commander, Navy Installations Command Fleet and Family Readiness. "Sailor durability is important to NOFFS."
Sexauer notes that NOFFS incorporates movement patterns used in rehabilitative settings that were adapted to work in a fitness environment. The program includes training in movement preparation, multidirectional movement training, strength training, cardiovascular training, recovery training and nutritional fueling strategies.
Earlier this year, the Army updated the fitness part of its basic training program, citing the need to break in more sedentary troops gradually to prevent injuries and prepare them for more rigorous training later.
More than 9 million young adults aged 17 to 24 are too overweight to join the military, according to a Mission: Readiness report released in April, titled "Too Fat to Fight." Mission: Readiness is a group comprised of retired military leaders. The report also found that during the past decade, the number of states with 40 percent or more of young adults considered overweight rose from one state to 39 states. The report analyzed data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In another move designed to address the obesity epidemic, sailors who exceed the Navy's body-fat standards can no longer get a waiver and receive a passing score on the semi-annual physical fitness assessment (PFA), the Navy announced last month. Previously, sailors who did not meet the body-fat standards could get a waiver on their body composition assessment (BCA) if their overall scores were excellent or better in other areas of the evaluation. Last year, about 1,595 BCA waivers were granted for active-duty sailors.
The maximum BCA is 22 percent body fat for men aged 17 to 39, and 33 percent body fat for women aged 17 to 39. Sailors aged 40 and older are given one additional percentage point.
The new requirements will take effect July 1, which marks the start of the fall 2010 PFA cycle. Those who exceed Navy BCA standards will be scored as a PFA failure.
Nearly 15,000 potential recruits fail military physical fitness entrance exams every year because they are too fat, according to the Mission: Readiness report.
NOFFS will be rolled out to the fleet in late June and will be included in the command fitness leader course by 2011, Sexauer says. It was developed so sailors could perform the exercises on existing equipment or by using bands and straps from Navy Fit Kits.
"NOFFS leverages sources we already had out there," Sexauer says. "NOFFS equipment was based strictly on what we had already provided to ships."
Sailors will be able to use NOFFS laminated exercise cards as guides during physical fitness training. To help Navy personnel correctly perform the 90 exercises identified in the program, officials conducted a photo shoot for the cards last September and plan to develop instructional videos to further explain the exercises.
The Navy worked with Athletes' Performance Institute (API) to develop the system and conducted focus groups with more than 750 sailors.
"We have taken a comprehensive approach working with the Navy, including looking at the strength program, warm-up and cardiovascular fitness demands of a sailor," says Paul Cauldwell, performance specialist at API. "We also looked at the nutritional needs a sailor has both abroad and while they are deployed."
The NOFFS program incorporates five main principles: eat clean, eat often, hydrate, recover and mindset. NOFFS also will feature a nutritional booklet for sailors that features menus and nutrition rules.

Laurent Doll
Laurent Doll was founded to bring high quality design & manufacturing to both American Girl and other 18 inch doll furniture, doll clothing and young girl clothing. Our furniture is manufactured of quality hardwood, uses mortar and tenon joints and comes in multiple finishes. Where appropriate, our furniture is adorned with classy, attractive linens.
Our matching doll and child dresses strive to make every doll owner and her doll feel special in charming "party dresses" for those special occasions that arise in every girl's life. Textile choices include enchanted chiffon and taffeta to delight every wearer as she "swishes" across the floor.
Moms and grandparents of young girls aged 7-12. We are positioning ourselves as a quality/ luxury brand for our segment so our logo should reflect a more upscale, traditional look that is also fun and speaks to the fact that we make things for kids. We chose a french name to reflect this brand positioning as well.
You can see our current website at http://www.laurentdoll.com. The entire site and product line are being overhauled because frankly they are not good-and that means the logo, website, product line and product pricing. Other sites to look at include http://www.americangirl.com and http://www.strasburgchildren.com. American Girl is the doll that we are targeting and Strasburg Children sells similar dress styles at the price points we also sell.
We are selling doll clothing & furniture and young girls clothing, so the logo needs to be a balance between a traditional image that would reflect quality/upscale positioning and fun for children. We recognize this is not an easy thing to pull off since they are somewhat contradictory requests. The goal is to make the parents comfortable with buying from us and that they are getting a quality, upscale product that their kids or grandkids will love and love to play with or wear.
We hope to extend the brand to young girls and boys clothing and then children's furniture, in which case we would change the name to Laurent (dropping Doll from the name). This is something to consider as you design.
We prefer a logo that incorporates the name into the logo design but preferably would include some sort of icon treatment as well.
Preferred but not required colors are Pink R 252 G 234 B 241 and Brown R 93 G 43 B 42

Most polls show that American voters have already made up their minds for which presidential candidate they will cast their vote on Nov. 6. Most pundits agree that President Obama and Governor Romney are arm-wrestling over a handful of undecideds out there. Probably true.
But there are also a host of other races — U.S. Senate and House, gubernatorial, state and local — and ballot initiatives from Hawaii to Puerto Rico that are on the ballots. There is a lot more at stake than the White House. Catholic voters have a lot to consider this fall.
In this month's issue of The Catholic Answer, published by Our Sunday Visitor, veteran journalist Russell Shaw says in his cover story, "How Catholics Should Prepare to Vote," that there are five key principles to help voters discern important matters before they step into the voting booth. Shaw, a keen observer of the American Catholic experience, bases his point not on the current passions of one group or another, but on church documents, especially "Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship," a statement of the U.S. bishops meant to help Catholic voters.
Catholics have been participating in American political life since the beginning of the republic, and today there are some new challenges to consider. Shaw reminds us that voting remains an important responsibility of being a Catholic and a citizen, and his five principles help remind us how serious that responsibility is.
How do you discern how to cast your vote? How do you consider your faith at the ballot box?

By rule, Red Sox manager Terry Francona's ejection on Friday night was standard operating procedure. Fine. Whatever.
And by rule, the move that Tim Wakefield made that resulted in said balk call, may have been by rule a balk. Wakefield disputed that, as did his teammates, but maybe it was a balk. Fine. Whatever.
It's everything else that followed after that moment that Major League Baseball should be embarrassed about.
Francona came out to have a word with home plate umpire Angel Hernandez, the man who called the balk. The conversation should have and likely did start with a question in how in the world Hernandez could decipher the angle in which Wakefield was stepping toward third from home plate. But I digress.
Technically, you're not supposed to argue balks, so Hernandez went by the book and gave Francona the heave-ho. Sure, Francona went off (perhaps in an effort to spark his lethargic team, already trailing en route to another loss), giving Hernandez a piece of his mind and the Fenway Park sod what was left of his tobacco and gum concoction.
But that should have been it. Francona would have gone down the tunnel, into the clubhouse and do whatever it is ejected managers do until the game ends. That should have been it except for the fact that Joe West was in the building, so naturally, he felt the need to get involved.
West came waddling in from third base, got himself in between Francona and Hernandez while simultaneously getting himself in the spotlight, the place he so desperately loves to be.
This move, however, was did not surprise Francona one bit.
"Joe, as we all know, always wants to be in everybody's business," Francona said of West. "That was me and Angel. Joe didn't have anything to do with it. Didn't appreciate what he did. I think he was wrong."
West has a reputation in baseball circles for loving attention. That, you see, is a problem when your occupation is a major league umpire, and the truest judge of whether or not you're doing your job well is whether or not you get noticed. If you go unnoticed, you're probably doing something right. Joe West never goes unnoticed.
Naturally, West didn't stop at just injecting himself into the brouhaha in front of home plate. He then proceeded to grab Francona and physically restrain him. This is where the biggest problem is.
If for some reason you switched roles, and it was Francona grabbing West, you can bet your bottom dollar that Tito would be getting a phone call from Joe Torre (now the MLB disciplinarian) and a subsequent unpaid vacation.
Instead, West will likely walk away from the incident scot-free, ready to stick his nose where it doesn't belong again, as he has for so long. Quite frankly, it's embarrassing.
Umpires, players and coaches all share the same field. Players and coaches are to be held accountable for their actions, especially when they cross the line in a fit of rage. Umpires all too often are given the benefit of the doubt by the league and are allowed to keep on making spectacles with no repercussions.
MLB needs to do something about it. When I pay top dollar for MLB tickets, I'm doing so because I want to see the best baseball players in the planet. I'm not paying to see Joe West. Or Angel Hernandez. Or anyone else in blue.
Until baseball starts to discipline its umpires for actions like West displayed on Friday night in Boston, umpires like West will continue to inject themselves into the show.
Should Major League Baseball discipline its umpires for actions like Joe West showed on Friday night? Share your thoughts below.

Leonard, Jenny; Zinner Henriksen, Helle (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Enterprise Systems have become the default support systems for business processes in commercial organisations. Their promise of increased efficiency and effectiveness fits well with profit-based strategic objectives, and can be linked directly to customer choice. The last fifteen years have seen extensive implementation of Enterprise Systems in the University sector. While efficiency and effectiveness may be important in this sector, they are not linked directly to customer choice – the concept of a customer is complex, and choices may include many influences which are unaffected by administrative processes. Using one Australian and one Danish University as examples, an analysis of the benefits from using Enterprise Systems in Universities and in supermarkets is undertaken. There are some differences in the nature of those benefits. More importantly, differences in links between those benefits and the effect on customer choice are pronounced, with significant impacts for research and practical implications of Enterprise Systems.

A hacker grabbed the Social Security numbers of more than 22,300 current and former students at the University of Missouri, the school said Tuesday. It is the institution's second data break-in of the year.
According to university officials, the attack was launched from IP addresses in China and Australia and used a Web form for tracking the status of queries to the school's IT help desk. The hacker accessed the names and Social Security numbers of school employees during 2004 who were also current or one-time students; those records had been compiled for a report, but overlooked rather than deleted.
IT staffers noticed unusual activity that began around 5:30 a.m. CDT last Thursday, then tied a large number of database query errors to the problem on Friday. Logs showed that the attacks ended at 9:34 a.m. Friday. That day, technicians disabled the account used to access the database from one IP address in China, the other in Australia. The FBI was alerted on Monday.
"The hacker was able to reach the information by making thousands of queries over a span of hours, allowing the identities to be exposed one at a time," the university reported.
A Web page and toll-free telephone line has been set up to take questions from students, the school said. Officials are also contacting as many of the affected people as possible.
On Tuesday, the toll-free line was overwhelmed, a school spokeswoman said today, and some callers heard a recording that the desk was closed. That problem has been solved by boosting the staff answering the phones. Computerworld confirmed that the hot line was working today, with wait times of approximately three minutes.
This is the second incident at the University of Missouri in recent months. In February, the school acknowledged that a server attack in January might have exposed the identities of 1,220 researchers on the university's four campuses. The spokeswoman declined to comment on whether there could be any connection between the two events.
In its message to potential identity theft victims, the school said it "takes this matter very seriously" and noted it wasn't the only organization to be attacked. "All companies or organizations using the Internet to serve their customers face this challenge." Last year, reported the Columbia Missourian, then-university president Elson Floyd ordered that employee Social Security numbers information be deleted from online databases.
Universities are a frequent target of identity thieves, according to the data breach chronology compiled by the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse. Since Jan. 1, 27 colleges or universities have been victimized by attackers. The list includes well-known institutions such as Notre Dame, Ohio State, Purdue and Rutgers. Several, in fact, have been hit multiple times: Notre Dame, the University of Idaho and the University of New Mexico each suffered two attacks in the first four months of 2007. keywords

Clinical Trials
Prospective Evaluation of Etravirine for HIV-infected Patients in Need of Lipid-lowering Drugs (ETRALL)
Calmy Alexandra
Janssen-Cilag A.G., Switzerland
Information provided by (Responsible Party)
Calmy Alexandra, University Hospital, Geneva
First received: February 27, 2012
Last updated: December 11, 2013
Last Verified: December 2013
History of Changes
Dyslipidaemia, characterized by raised triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)
cholesterol and reduced high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels, is common in
HIV-infected individuals, and has been associated with HIV infection itself and
antiretroviral therapy (ART). These abnormalities are well-established markers of
cardiovascular (CVD) risk in the general population. Studies have suggested an increased risk
of CVD associated with ART exposure over and above that conveyed by traditional
cardiovascular risk factors. In HIV population to reduce lipid parameters, the most usual
clinical strategy remains to add a statin treatment.
Recent studies suggested ART switch can represent an interesting alternative to statins to reduce lipid plasma levels.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the frequency with which the replacement of LPV/r (lopinavir/ritonavir), ATZ/r (atazanavir/ritonavir), DRV/r (darunavir/ritonavir) or EFV (efavirenz) by ETR (Etravirin) in dyslipidemic patients with suppressed viremia would obviate the necessity to administer statins.
A prospective, phase III study in which the statin treatment of dyslipidemic HIV patients on antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) will be interrupted during 4 weeks is proposed.
At week 4, patients qualifying for a lipid lowering drug (calculated LDL-C≥ 3mmol/L) will replace EFV, LPV/r, DRV/r or ATZ/r by ETR. The proportion of patients not qualifying anymore for a statin treatment at 12 weeks (i.e. after 8 weeks of ETR treatment) will be determined. Additionally, the lipid level changes will be assessed at 12 weeks. Inflammatory markers will be measured at baseline, at drug switch and at the end of the study
Study drug will be provided by the drug manufacturer (Janssen-Cilag, AG). Compliance for study drug will be done at week-4 and week-12, Returned study medication will be counted and the amount notified on the Case Report Form (CRF).

Hungry Z, NBC Chicago Street Team
The Taste of Chicago was born July 4th in 1980, and is now the second largest tourist attraction in Illinois. For 10 days, this free admission festival is the place to be, injecting the city with a spirit of hunger and attracting a few news stories along the way. To add some spectacle to all the gluttony, there will be live performances by Ne-Yo, Counting Crows, Wallflowers, Barenaked Ladies and more.
In the midst of these hard economic times, Taste will offer a better value than ever this year. Each restaurant will offer a choice of two Taste portions instead of one. The taste portions are smaller and cheaper sample versions of the regular-sized portions.
Fifty different vendors will be vying for a spot in your belly, but not all of them deserve it. Must-try items include B.J's Mustard fried catfish, O'Brien's Celtic corn, Original Rainbow cones, and Garrett's caramel and cheese popcorn.
Visit NBCChicago.com for a full list of Hungry Z's Taste hits and misses.

Alright, fine. So we got a new trailer not even two weeks ago. And then that trailer was recreated in GTA IV, but that doesn't count!
Basically I won't be satisfied until Rockstar releases the next GTA title, so creations like this one by Patrick Brown hold me over until then.

Here we go again! It's baseball season, and all I can do is grumble. You'd think I was a Mets fan, or that my team was any one of a number of basement dwellers, the way I feel. I'm a Yankee fan, I'm supposed to be on top of the world all the time—that's what ol' G. Steinbrenner demanded, win the World Series every year or you're losers. Okay, that, I think, went a little too far in wrecking morale. Still, he may have been a tyrant, but what's gone on since Georgie's demise is a nightmare.
As the 2014 season opens, I am facing the loss of Mariano Rivera (gracefully retired), Andy Pettite (ditto), Curtis Granderson (sold to the Mets by some moron in the Yankee org) and Robinson Cano (also moronically sold). Even outside of the Yankees I face a heavy loss: Barry Zito, former Oakland A and SF Giant, one of my favorite players and human beings, seems to have vanished after the Giants failed to renew his contract (and who could blame them? But that's another story.
Last but not least, as we raise the curtain on another year of baseball, the one Yankee remaining on the team that saw its last period of glory during the late '90s and early '00s, Derek Jeter, announced this year as his Swan Song—so don't bother shouting "Next year!" if things hit bottom. And, indeed, the guys lost their first game yesterday against one of my most hated teams, the F.O.B. (Friends of Bush) Houston Astros.
My allegiance to the New York Yankees is, like some people's allegiance to a particular religion, by birth and by choice. I'm a Yankee fan by birth: I was born in the Bronx. But I chose to be a Yankee fan because in this one area of life, unlike politics and a few others I'll decline to mention here, with the Bronx Bombers I get to be a winner more often than not. Unlike the hapless Met fan, I get to experience joy more frequently than pain. At least, that was the deal for decades. Now my Yankee fandom is going the way the aging experience goes: it's all about loss, as beloved players and managers leave. No choice have I but to butch it out and adjust, the way I do over the loss of teeth and energy.
One thing I don't have to lose, though, is hope: the Yankees might be great this year. As the little kid in Angels in the Outfield says of the improbable all throughout the movie, "Hey, it could happen!"
So Play Ball!

We know that this nation apparently places great store in just what plays in Peoria, but what about the things that didn't play here? That's what Peorians Greg Wahl and Charles Bobbitt sought to find out in their new book, "It Didn't Play in Peoria: Missed Chances of a Middle American Town." The result is a folksy approach to Peoria history, cruising through a lot of information that we've heard before but also coming up with a number of items we haven't.
We know that this nation apparently places great store in just what plays in Peoria, but what about the things that didn't play here?
That's what Peorians Greg Wahl and Charles Bobbitt sought to find out in their new book, "It Didn't Play in Peoria: Missed Chances of a Middle American Town."
The result is a folksy approach to Peoria history, cruising through a lot of information that we've heard before but also coming up with a number of items we haven't.
Understand that the authors are not maligning the River City through this dissertation. One need only read the introduction to understand their respect for Peoria as they tick off some of the city's credits: The oldest settlement in Illinois; a distillery/brewery center; a center for entertainment and a symbol of strength during hard economic times.
But the focus here is not the city's whiskey barons or the long association with earthmoving giant Caterpillar Inc. Instead we find out - in anecdotal format - what didn't come the city's way.
"Unlike other everyday cities, Peoria came close to greatness on more than one occasion, only to settle for less time and time again," note the authors.
Behind this investigation into Peoria's past potential is an appreciation for "One of the most misunderstood cities in America - unappreciated for anything other than the role as the quintessential bland and boring backwater."
What fascinates Wahl and Bobbitt are this backwater's near misses - detailed in a lighthearted manner that makes for an easy read.
We learn that Peoria:
- Almost landed Illinois State University but lost out to Bloomington and a horse.
- Could have been the home for another university if the family of Washington Corrington, a successful 19th-century farmer, hadn't contested his will and diverted the $10 million Corrington had earmarked for the project.
- Could have been been the home for the Krispy Kreme doughnut empire.
But perhaps the biggest loss of all is Peoria's lack of "Spirit." Gracing the cover of "Didn't Play" is Charles Lindbergh, the pioneer aviator with a Peoria connection. Lindbergh, who bailed out over central Illinois on several occasions while shuttling mail between Chicago and St. Louis, knew Peoria as one of his regular stops.
"History shows that there was in fact a close association (between Lindbergh and Peoria), one that could have been world-famous had the city not missed its chance by the slimmest of margins," note the authors, referring to the fact that Lindbergh may have asked Peoria city fathers for backing for his solo flight across the Atlantic before winding up in St. Louis.
History shows? Perhaps. "The idea that Lindbergh went to Peoria first with his transatlantic proposal works even with the lack of a paper trail and the silence of the people involved," write Wahl and Bobbitt.
Had the backing for Lindbergh's proposed flight (estimated at around $20,000 - big money for 1927) come from central Illinois backers it might have been the Spirit of Peoria - not Spirit of St. Louis - that received worldwide acclaim.
"To be fair, the business elite of Peoria had every reason to turn him down. It was a classic case of great idea, wrong guy," wrote the authors, adding: "The Peoria men must have known about (Lindbergh's) airmail-route crashes on Sept. 16 and Nov. 3 outside of town. If he couldn't fly between Peoria and Chicago without crashing, they could be excused for wondering how could he possibly fly across the Atlantic without dunking himself - and their money - into the ocean?"
The book also provides insight into one of the great mysteries of our time: Why would the Boston Red Sox ever trade budding superstar Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees in 1920? Peorian Harry Frazee was evidently at the heart of the whole thing.
I like the irreverent style that Wahl and Bobbitt demonstrate in this book but their focus wanders off theme into some much-traveled territory: That is, what has played here, recounting the exploits of favorite sons like Richard Pryor and Philip Jose Farmer.
Before rehashing Peoria's familiar past, there might have been some other missed chances to speculate on. Such as how Peoria missed out on being the state capitol - and the part Abe Lincoln played in favoring Springfield. Then there's the No. 1 NBA draft pick that never played a minute of pro ball. That would be Bradley's "Squeaky" Melchiorre, involved in a 1951 gambling scandal.
Uneven at times, "It Didn't Play in Peoria" is nevertheless an entertaining read. Even when delving into what might have been, the book relates how history can always be a source of fresh ideas.

shaxs brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 59 Designs von 15 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
I already had a logo and brand created for an earlier project. I have a new product in the works and need a company logo. So, you will keep the logo colors and ideas the same, just change the text and an appropriate icon for the new logos.
I need two logos updated. Price for one is $125. I will be picking two winners.
Clever Technology / Clever Help Desk
Web Solutions That Are Clever / up to designer
Desired Color Scheme:
See attached logo
Desired Style:
See attached logo
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai)
Please see the attached logo. There is a thought bubble with an tool, hence the name Clever Tools. For this contest, all I need you to do is add an appropriate icon to the thought bubble and change the text. Thats it. Super easy. Attached is an EPS which I believe gives you a source file to work with. The new logos need to stay in vector format and keep the same style and feel.
Logo 1: Clever Technology - I need a general logo for the company. So, replace the icon with something that depicts technology. Change the text to Clever Technology and change the tagline to 'Web Solutions That Are Clever'.
Logo 2: Clever Help Desk. This new software service is going to be a hosted solution for help desks. After trying many different help desk and encountering nothing but bloated software that never works, I am creating my own for me and also to provide it to other people who need a high quality, web 2.0 help desk. So, the icon needs to depict getting help. You will need to change the title to 'Clever Help Desk'. I will leave the tagline up to you as I am drawing a blank.
So in review. I will be picking 2 winning logos. You could win both, or you could win one. Each winning logo will get $125. Again, you will not need to do too much work to get these changed, so I think the compensation is fair. Also, I reserve the right to pick a winner before the contest ends. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Australia is in the midst of an energy revolution. The growth in solar power, energy storage and smart control technology has the potential to change the way our society produces, uses and sells energy. To help us prepare for this future, AusNet Services is trialling Australia's first mini grid in an established community.
A mini grid is a local energy system made up of individual customers that have the capability to generate, store and export power. A control system enables these customers to operate as a unified energy community. Most mini grids remain connected in some way to the larger network.
As shown in the diagram, the project involves powering 14 homes in a suburban street with a combination of (1) solar panels, (2) 10kWh storage batteries and (3) the main power grid.
Each residence is equipped with advanced energy management, communications, monitoring and safety systems. This enables individual participants to capture, store and optimise the use of both solar and grid energy to achieve aims such as reducing their power bills or increasing their use of renewable solar energy.
In addition, all 14 homes can operate as a unified energy system, i.e. a mini grid. Energy can be shared between homes via the mini grid network (4), while the entire mini grid can interact with and support the main power grid. For the majority of the time the mini grid remains connected to the main power grid, but it is also designed with the ability to disconnect and operate independently for short periods.
One of the most technically-advanced components of project is the stabiliser (5), which allows the mini grid to operate independently of the main grid. The stabiliser is a smart battery storage system that smooths out short term variations in energy supply and consumption across the mini grid by either delivering or absorbing power. The stabiliser is unique in that it operates using renewable and stored energy, whereas typically, mini grids use a large diesel generator to ensure stability when operating independently.
The stabiliser is connected to the main power grid by a switching device (6). It uses this device to control the transitions of the mini grid to and from the main power grid.
The entire mini grid is managed by a cloud-based software platform called MicroEMTM (7), developed by our project partner GreenSync. This software is in constant communication with the power system at each home, as well as the stabiliser and switching cabinet. The software platform monitors and analyses data and sends alerts and notifications to the 24-hour operations team, ensuring safety and applying the mini grid operating parameters. This software will evolve to control the mini grid in a variety of ways.
The diagram below shows the main components of the Mooroolbark Mini Grid.
AusNet Services will run three main scenarios that will explore different aspects of the mini grid and how it interacts with the main grid while accounting for customer and network needs. These scenarios are:
#1: Grid Interactive. Each house operates in grid connected mode, using solar power, batteries and the grid to create efficient power storage and consumption, as well as supporting the network by reducing peak demand, smoothing power flows and improving power quality.
#2: Secure Power. Each house operates in off-grid mode, using the individual solar power, batteries and demand/consumption management approaches to optimise energy use.
#3: Energy Island. The mini grid community operates independently of the main grid, using power sharing to balance energy generation and consumption in a stable, secure way.
The electricity grid is shifting from being a one-way pipeline that carries energy from large power stations to the customer, to a multi-directional web that supports a wide range of renewable and distributed energy sources. Customers are already becoming active participants in the power grid.
This situation brings considerable challenges to network operators, but could also provide major community benefits.
Each of the mini grid scenarios will give us a better understanding of how to adapt to a future in which we support our customers' diverse energy choices, while operating our network as efficiently as possible.
Refer to Demand Management for other related projects.
