BiggerBids (or Bigger Bids) http://www.biggerbids.com
BiggerBids allows eBay sellers to give their auctions a professional look and feel, while automating many of their repeated selling tasks.
In a nutshell, the eBay seller types in the details about the item they are selling, uploads pictures of that item and then chooses a layout that best meets the needs of that auction. They can then post that professional looking auction to their favorite auction site (generally eBay).
We appeal mainly to online auction sellers (mainly eBay sellers). However, those sellers do have BiggerBids branding on their auctions, so it's important that our logo also appeal to the general shopping community.
Less is more. We're searching for something truly unique that does more than dress up our domain name. Please note: we are also making major changes to the design of our web site, so please ignore the design you see there.
We have no restrictions on specific colors that are to be used, nor on specific ideas for designs. We want to experience your creativity.
Below are some of my favorite logos that convey the type of branding I'd like BiggerBids to have. As you can see, less is more and creativity is key.

Notice how many of those concepts incorporate a design into the actual text and make a great use of whitespace?
Added After the contest has begun:
> Think ecommerce. Think along the lines of online transactions. Person-to-person sales/transactions. However, we don't want to incorporate actual currency (collar bills, coins, etc) into the design.
> Think improved communications. In many ways, we offer our customers improved communications with their customers by way of better auction layouts. The theory there is that when a potential customer is looking at a well organized auction item, they can get the information they need quicker. In turn that puts a feeling of ease in the buyer's mind, knowing that they are dealing with a professional seller.
> Get away from the gavel (that thing that looks like a hammer that an auctioneer holds). We help online sellers look more professional in their online auctions. We are not an auction house. So although I get the gavel reference, it feels a bit too "old school" for our purposes.

Baltimore man indicted in infant's death
Autopsy: Baby suffered fractured ribs, liver lacerations
The father of a baby whose death is ruled a homicide has been indicted and remains in jail.
Indicted Wednesday by a Baltimore City Grand Jury, Dion Ware faces charges of second-degree murder, assault, reckless endangerment and child abuse in connection with the death of his 7-week-old son, Kearri.
Autopsy results show Kearri had multiple fractured ribs, multiple liver lacerations, other injuries and bruises.
Police said officers were called Nov. 26 to an apartment building in the 300 block of East 22nd Street, where they found the 22-year-old Ware on the front steps with Kearri. Ware was asking someone passing by to use a cell phone to call 911.
According to a court charging document, Ware told police he checked on his son "and noticed that the infant was making a strange noise, like he was having trouble breathing." Ware told officers he picked up his son and "tried to resuscitate him by giving him cardiopulmonary resuscitation," but Ware said he realized he "was pushing too hard while doing CPR."
The next day, Ware talked to detectives and, according to the charging document, admitted to holding his son, claiming that as he tried to put the child in a playpen, the boy fell out of his arms and "hit his right side on the rail of a pack and play and then fell to the hardwood floor, striking his face."
Ware told investigators he picked up his son, wiped the boy's face and put him in the playpen. During a later check, he said he noticed the child was having trouble breathing, according to the charging document.
Ware told police he "observed Kearri wasn't breathing" and that he "attempted to perform CPR on Kearri but he could not revive him."
The medical examiner ruled that he infant's injuries were not consistent with the child simply being dropped to the floor.

It's 9 a.m. on Sunday morning and the otherwise peaceful Infinite Corridor is electrified by 20 high school and MIT students chanting, "we are Achievers, Amphibious Achievers!"
The chant has become a trademark of Amphibious Achievement, a dual athletic and academic mentorship program that brings 18 high school students from the John D. O'Bryant School in Boston to MIT every Sunday. The goal of the program is to promote "success in and out of the water" through aquatic sports, generally inaccessible to inner-city high school youth, and through SAT-based tutoring.
This connection between athletics and academics was what two MIT sophomores, Noam Angrist and Ron Rosenberg, were looking to tap into when they founded Amphibious Achievement. Both Angrist and Rosenberg have been coaches and athletes in crew and swimming, respectively, throughout their lives. As athletes, they learned about the benefits of sport first hand. As coaches, the benefits became even clearer.
"After each of my seasons coaching, naturally the kids became better athletes, but parents told me that their kids also became more disciplined in school and more respectful at home," Rosenberg said.
"We wanted to latch on to the spillover effects of athletics in a meaningful way," Angrist said. "We realized, however, that there wasn't a program [at MIT] that provided that outlet. So, we created one."
The program runs every Sunday, beginning with the two-hour athletic portion. Swimmers are taken to the Olympic-sized aquatic facilities at the Zesiger Center, while rowers are taken to MIT's Division I Pierce Boathouse.
The MIT student coaches focus on developing technical skills early on in the program through unconventional drills. Rowers learned the basics of rowing posture and body swing via rocking back and forth on an ergometer to the rap song "Lean with it, Rock With it." At the same time, swimmers learn body alignment through static and dynamic yoga exercises out of the water. Further on the students focus on stamina training that culminate in competitive relays.
For Achiever Ernest Mejia, the skills he gains as an athlete are especially meaningful, "[rowing] has been good for me. It has also taught me various skills that I can apply in the classroom such as motivation, teamwork, ethics and perseverance."
The lessons learned in athletics are transferred to academics as Achievers transition to the classroom after eating lunch. The academic portion is guided by a unique 60-page curriculum, drawn up by Academic Coordinators and sophomores Camila Caballero and Kimberly Aziz. "The curriculum is challenging," Caballero said, "we set the bar very high." In the critical reading portion, for example, Achievers read The Economist, answer SAT-style questions about the article, which are prepared beforehand by their tutor, and present to the class both key ideas and relevant connections to the outside world.
Aziz and Caballero have also enhanced the lesson material with interactive activities. Using YouTube clips that combine complicated math concepts with pop culture they are able to teach problem solving skills and keep the students interested. Similarly, in the grammar portion, Aziz and Caballero have introduced a competitive Jeopardy!-style game where students compete in teams to revise sentences on the board, and then explain their revisions for equal credit, in the shortest amount of time. At the end of the day, Aziz and Caballero also hand out "Opportunities to Achieve," small at-home assignments that team members can score points on upon completion.
These activities exemplify the four core ideas on which the curriculum is based: friendly competition, tangible incentives, advanced resources and high expectations.
Angrist and Rosenberg attribute the success of the program to Amphibious Achievement's executive committee and Mentor Corps. "Our team is tremendous," said Angrist and Rosenberg about the 13 MIT students that run the program. "Not only is every member passionate and talented, but we also have a lot of fun." Maybe that explains the whimsical "We Are Achievers" chant.
Fueled by the program's initial success, a third segment, Career Days, was recently launched. On a weekly basis, the Career Days team runs career-building and self-presentation workshops for the Achievers on the John D. O'Bryant School campus. "Most recently, the students have been working on the content and formatting of their resumes," said Adie Angrist, a sibling of one of the founders and the Career Days coordinator for Amphibious Achievement. "When asked about activities for her resume, Achiever Dalesha St. Louis chuckled and said 'but I don't do anything.' In five minutes Dalesha went from 'I don't do anything' to realizing that she helped organize a bake sale that raised $200 for her Step Team's uniforms."
The program has already received national attention at Teach for America's Lead Now Conference, a week-long leadership seminar for more than 550 nominated scholars. At the conference, Angrist was one of two student panelists, where he spoke about the unique structure and impact of Amphibious Achievement.
Amphibious Achievement has also garnered significant support from the community and is closely partnered with MIT's Public Service Center, the COOP, Cosi, K&B Sportswear, MIT Athletics, and Au Bon Pain. Holly Metcalf, head coach of MIT Women's Openweight Crew team and 1984 Olympic gold medalist, has further served as an advisor to the program. The support of local sponsors has been instrumental as Amphibious Achievement has continued to provide both youth and MIT students with a broad array of resources, including binders, books, T-shirts, sports equipment and food.
While eating lunch with the tutors, Denise, a devout Achiever, notes "The first thing I think of when I wake up for Amphibious Achievement is, 'Wow, it's early and it's Sunday,' which I never used to like, but now I do. I look forward to it."

The nine horses named below comprise the field for the 138th Preakness Stakes. Post positions will be drawn Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. and will be telecast on HRTV.
ORB -- Orb got well acquainted with his new surroundings at Pimlico Wednesday morning. The Kentucky Derby winner, who arrived from Belmont Park on Monday and walked the shedrow of the Preakness Stakes Barn Tuesday, made his first appearance on the racetrack at approximately 6 a.m.
The Shug McGaughey-trained colt jogged once around the racetrack under exercise rider Jenn Patterson while accompanied by a pony.
"Everything was really good. He turned and jogged the wrong way. He was moving really well and full of energy. He appears to be settled in back here and I'm pleased with what I see," said McGaughey while his Derby winner grazed in the grassy area near the Preakness Stakes Barn.
The son of Malibu Moon followed up his early-morning activity with a visit to Pimlico's indoor paddock, where McGaughey plans to saddle him instead of the customary Preakness saddling area on the turf course. Orb walked around the saddling area under the cover of the grandstand and stood quietly in a stall while being attended to by Patterson, whose work with the likely Preakness favorite has received high praise from McGaughey.
"Without her, we wouldn't be here. It's not only her riding ability, it's her horsemanship and dedication to the whole thing," said McGaughey, who detailed the many miles logged and hours worked by Patterson while working with Orb in Florida and Kentucky. "Nobody will know how much I appreciate her and what I think of her and her abilities. The rapport we have between each other… I think it's a pretty remarkable relationship."
Orb, who came to Pimlico riding a five-race winning streak, including a 2 1/2-length Kentucky triumph on May 4, has amazed his trainer with his development.
"I think there's more there. What really surprises me is how he comes out of his races, not only mentally, but physically," the Hall of Fame trainer said. "I looked at him just a second ago with the blanket off of him. Looking from behind, the sun was shining on him, and I was looking at a different horse than I saw a week ago and two weeks ago.
"His work at Belmont on Monday was something I had never seen, maybe before -- the way he finished up with very little urging, if any; the way he was striding out and the way he was holding his leads. He's sure come a long ways since the Florida Derby. I think there's more there, but he's got to tell us that. I can't wait to run him on Saturday afternoon and, maybe we'll see something special."
McGaughey admitted that the thought of a Triple Crown sweep has crossed his mind.
"I wouldn't be telling the truth if I said, 'No.' I try to block it out, but if you're in this position, anybody would think about it. Of course, you get reminded of it quite often," McGaughey said. "It's a thrilling thought, but we've got to get by Saturday. If we get by Saturday, it'll be quite an interesting three weeks."
DEPARTING – Departing completed the Churchill Downs phase of his Preakness preparations by galloping 1 1/2 mile and then standing in the starting gate on a warm and breezy Wednesday morning.
Regular exercise rider Trina Pasckvale was aboard for the morning activity for Departing, who was scheduled to fly to Baltimore this afternoon.
Trainer Al Stall Jr. said the trip to the gate was a normal part of Departing's routine.
"He was fine in there. He stood in there for about a minute and a half and he never has had an issue that I have noticed," Stall said. "You have to do your homework before you take the test."
Stall expected to be in Baltimore for Wednesday afternoon's Preakness post-position draw.
"The draw does not matter, because there is going to be speed in there," Stall said. "Goldencents, Titletown Five, Oxbow – I know they will be in front of us."
GOLDENCENTS – Trainer Doug O'Neill sent the Santa Anita Derby winner out for his usual 8:30 a.m. gallop and a brief schooling session in the paddock Wednesday at Pimlico Race Course.
Trainer Doug O'Neill said his confidence is returning to the level that it was at Churchill Downs prior to Goldencents' disappointing finish in the Kentucky Derby over a sloppy, sealed racetrack.
"We were definitely disappointed with our effort in the Kentucky Derby," said the 44-year-old trainer. "We thought we were coming into it in good shape, but we think it was the track. You've got a different track here, a shorter stretch and tighter turns. Our guy is doing really well here. And with a smaller field and good weather, I think we can turn the tables on Orb."
Kevin Krigger, who came to Baltimore with Goldencents three days after the May 4 Derby, believes his decision to stay East will pay dividends.
"For me just being on him every day and making sure he's doing everything the way he should be doing, it is a thrill for me," he said. "I'm enjoying myself and the horse is enjoying himself. He trains like he's ready to run a better race than the Derby."
The atmosphere around Barn B at Pimlico is considerably more subdued than it was last year when I'll Have Another was the center of attention.
"It is a different vibe, but it's a good vibe," O'Neill said. "I think it's all good pressure really. Everyone here in management is so kind to us and has bent over backwards to make us feel at home. The Derby and Belmont are corporate events. There's more of a small-town feeling here and it's easier to relax and enjoy it."
Dealing with the Derby disappointment is also becoming easier for him.
"It's tough because we know how competitive and how tough Goldencents is, but it's the first time Goldencents has ever been in that scenario where he was getting a lot of kickback," O'Neill said. "That wasn't one of your standard wet-fast kind of tracks. It was almost like peanut butter out there, and you could see that the horses that were involved early ended up being in the back of the pack and the horses that were in the back of the pack early ended up being first at the wire."
Goldencents, who has three stakes victories on his resume, had never been worse than fourth in any of his previous six starts before the Derby. He won the Delta Downs Jackpot as a 2-year-old and the Sham in his 3-year-old debut in January.
"This business is definitely full of a lot more losses than wins," O'Neill said. "So you celebrate all the wins,and it re-energizes you."
O'Neill said he plans to sit down with Krigger and review old tapes of Preaknesses past, much like he did last year with I'll Have Another's rider, Mario Gutierrez.
"Kevin and I have talked about that," O'Neill said. "I think it's good for Kevin. Probably he needs my input like a hole in the head, but I think it's something where these tracks are all a little bit different. Here the turns are a little tighter, the stretch is a little bit shorter. Watching the past runnings of the Preakness can only be beneficial, so Kevin's been kind enough to say, 'Let's do it, let's watch and see what we can learn.' "
"You can never look at those old Preaknesses too many times," said Krigger, who is riding in his first. "To sit down and watch them with Doug will open up a different mind frame about the races, because we'll have our own ideas about each race. We'll put them together and end up on the same page as we usually are."
GOVENOR CHARLIE – Bob Baffert said he is convinced that the Midnight Lute colt is ready for the Preakness and is capable of giving him his sixth victory in the Middle Jewel of the Triple Crown.
Govenor Charlie will be making his fourth career start in the Preakness. After finishing second in his debut on Jan. 19, he broke his maiden on Feb.17 and won the Sunland Derby by five lengths on March 24. He has recovered from a minor foot injury that caused him to miss the Kentucky Derby.
Baffert said Wednesday that Govenor Charlie must turn in a big performance at Pimlico to be a big factor in the Preakness.
"He needs to run his race back that he ran at Sunland," Baffert said. "I think if he runs that race back, he's going to be very, very competitive. That's the way he's been training. It's a different group of horses he's running with and it's a classic, but he's bred to run that far."
Govenor Charlie's grand-sire, Real Quiet, won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness in 1998. His second dam is Hall of Famer Silverbulletday, whose 15 career victories included a runaway win in the 1 1/4-mile Alabama.
Baffert waited to commit Govenor Charlie to the Preakness until he saw how the colt came out of a timed work Monday at Churchill Downs. Govenor Charlie covered six furlongs in a sharp 1:10 4/5 and galloped out seven furlongs in 1:24 4/5.
Prior to boarding a plane for the trip to Maryland, Govenor Charlie jogged a mile at Churchill Downs Wednesday morning. Govenor Charlie was accompanied to Pimlico with a pair of stablemates: Zee Bros, who's set to run in the $100,000 Chick Lang Stakes on Saturday, and Fiftyshadesofhay, who's entered for the $500,000 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes on Friday.
ITSMYLUCKYDAY – Itsmyluckyday, who was vanned from Monmouth Park Tuesday, visited the racetrack at Pimlico Wednesday morning for a light jog.
"He was great. We couldn't have asked for any better," said Frankie Perez, assistant to trainer Eddie Plesa Jr. "He's been giving us 110 percent training-wise. He's happy. He was happy arriving here, and he's doing great. He's ready to run."
The Gulfstream Park Derby and Holy Bull winner, who finished fifteenth in the Kentucky Derby, will be ridden for the first time by John Velazquez.
MYLUTE – Mylute jogged a mile shortly after the track opened at Churchill Downs Wednesday morning before boarding a plane bound for Baltimore.
"He got new shoes yesterday and jogged a mile this morning, so we are good to go," said trainer Tom Amoss, whose Kentucky Derby fifth-place finisher had worked a half-mile in 49 3/5 seconds Monday and walked on Tuesday.
OXBOW/TITLETOWN FIVE/WILL TAKE CHARGE – D. Wayne Lukas sent his three-pronged Preakness threat onto the track early Wednesday morning for some light exercise, and he said he was more than pleased with the way they handled the 12-hour van ride the day before.
"They were great," said the 77-year-old Lukas, who is looking for his sixth Preakness victory. "I was pleasantly surprised this morning. I did a little with them, just jogged them and tried to let them get their energy level up, but they were excellent out there this morning. I was really surprised at how well they shipped."
Oxbow and Will Take Charge have an experience edge over Titletown Five and are coming off sixth- and eighth-place finishes in the Kentucky Derby, but Lukas gives all three a chance to be factors in the Middle Jewel of the Triple Crown.
"If you look at the aerial view of the Derby and study it, Will Take Charge ran one hell of a race," Lukas said of the Rebel Stakes winner. "He was totally stopped. He was moving probably better than Orb at that point. Whether he'd have finished with him is speculation at best. I think he'd have been second. He's not a stop-and-start horse."
Oxbow chased the frantic pace set by Palace Malice in Kentucky and still managed to hold on for sixth while most of the others who went out early faded to the back of the pack. Lukas said he has come back to himself quickly despite the demanding Derby trip.
"He worked this week at Churchill (four furlongs in 49 4/5 seconds) and Gary (Stevens) said that was the most relaxed, the best he's ever had him work, so he's a factor in here," Lukas said. "With the sixteenth of a mile shorter and everything, he'll be OK."
Stevens, who rode both Oxbow and Titletown Five in their respective last starts, will be replaced on Titletown Five by Julien Leparoux. Jon Court has been replaced by Mike Smith on Will Take Charge. Lukas said he wasn't displeased with Court's performance.
"I thought if we could get three world-class Eclipse riders, I'd be remiss if I didn't give my clients that opportunity," Lukas said. "I ran it by them, and they were excited about it. Nothing against Jon Court; I rode him all spring with good luck, but I think it's the coach in me. I always tell those riders we're just gonna date, we're not gonna get married."
The unknown commodity of the Lukas trio is Titletown Five, co-owned by the trainer and two former Green Bay Packers, among others. The colt's name comes from the nickname for Green Bay and Hornung's uniform number.
"He's a very talented horse," Lukas said of the son of Tiznow, who ran fourth in the Derby Trial after a ninth-place fade in the Louisiana Derby. "He's been behind all spring, but he's got a lot of ability. He's a beautiful mover; he's got a high cruising speed. Willie Davis and Paul Hornung and those guys – it means a lot to probably be in the main arena here, and I own part of him, too, so I thought it was worth a shot."
Lukas is hoping Titletown Five will be able to display a bit more restraint in the Preakness.
"I think Leparoux on him will get him to probably be forwardly placed, but not like his last two," Lukas said. "He got in a speed duel in the Derby Trial and it really was ridiculous in the Louisiana Derby."
Lukas, who has won 13 Triple Crown races to tie "Sunny Jim" Fitzsimmons for the all-time record, knows he is facing an uphill task, but he did it before here with a Derby also-ran, Tabasco Cat, who was sixth in 1994.
"I think Orb's the horse to beat," Lukas said. "He has to come back a little bit to us and we have to move forward. I'm not running for second, however. That's not my style. If I had my choice, I'd like to see 30 of them in here because I'd know Orb would be behind at least 25 of them. I think if he gets by this one he's got a great chance (to win the Triple Crown)."

Schafer becomes fourth hitter to bat leadoff for Braves
DETROIT -- As the past few weeks have elapsed, the Braves have been constantly reminded that they do not have a legitimate leadoff hitter on their roster. Andrelton Simmons, who began the season in that role, has shown some recent signs of encouragement.
But when his team concluded what has been a disappointing 10-game road trip with Sunday night's game against the Tigers, Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez penciled Jordan Schafer's name at the top of his lineup. Just 24 games into the season, Schafer became the fourth leadoff hitter the Braves have utilized.
"We don't have that perfect candidate, and there is very little out there at the Major League level that is the perfect candidate to be the leadoff guy," Gonzalez said.
With the Nationals starting three right-handed pitchers during this week's series, Schafer could get a few more starts at the top of the lineup. But Gonzalez said he has not given up on the idea of continuing to try Simmons in the leadoff role.
Braves leadoff hitters entered Sunday ranked 28th in the Majors with a .211 batting average and 27th with a .276 on-base percentage. The second spot in their lineup ranked last in the Majors with a .126 batting average and 26th with a .252 OBP.
As a result, the Braves have not been able to take full advantage of the power supplied by Justin Upton, who hit 11 of his Major League-leading 12 home runs without any runners on base.
Upton was the only Braves player to play in each of the first 23 games and he batted third in each game. But he entered Sunday with just 12 at-bats with runners in scoring position. Four of his teammates had recorded a higher total.

Rodney Atkins Says 'Every Day Is Brighter' Thanks to Fans' Prayers During Divorce
The past several months have been quite challenging for Rodney Atkins, as he continues to go through a highly-publicized divorce with his soon-to-be ex-wife, Tammy Jo. Atkins filed for divorce after 13 years of marriage following a late-night argument which ended on a very sour note — with Atkins getting arrested. His wife made serious allegations against him, claiming domestic abuse, though the singer has since been cleared of all charges.
Fans have continuously kept Atkins — and especially his 10-year-old son, Elijah — in their thoughts and prayers over the past four months since his arrest, and the singer says all the support has not gone unnoticed. "It's been a time that I can definitely feel people praying for my family," Atkins tells Taste of Country. "I had no idea the support and the love that was out there from people. It's carried me through the darkest times. It's amazing when I sing 'Going Through Hell' and I realize that's going to happen again with something else. I think God always has a plan. God puts situations in your life [that make you think] it's something you can't get through, but because of the support system around you, you do. It's been amazing. With what I've been through, I just pray to do the right thing and say the right thing, and if I don't know the right words, God will put them in my mouth. [If I] take the high road, the right thing will happen."
And at the end of the day, Atkins continues to live his life on a positive note for the sake of his son, who undoubtedly looks up to him. "I will never say anything derogatory or go down that road of being derogatory [when it comes to Tammy]," Atkins says, adding that his little boy is keeping a normal life and will play little league baseball this spring. "I'm not going to do that … that's Elijah's mom."
Throughout the media frenzy surrounding his divorce, fans have continued to request Atkins' songs, buy his albums, and most importantly, support him with concern and love out on the road. "I just cherish every second and every single person that comes up on the road, no matter where I'm at," he says. "They know I'm me … they know who I am … they know the songs. That's me. For folks withholding judgment with all this stuff going by, they've been unbelievable. Someone carried me through this, and every day's brighter [because of] the prayers and the faith. I'm doing great … definitely."
Next up for Atkins is joining the 2012 Country Throwdown Tour, which is set to kick off May 18 in Gulfport, Miss. Click here for a full list of those dates, as well as Atkins solo dates throughout the year.

CapComm necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 137 diseños de 42 diseñadores freelance.
Empire International Energy Services
Empire International Energy Services is an independent oil and gas field services company with offices in Canada, Germany and Romania and customers in Canada, Germany, Romania, Russia, Poland, Oman, Nigeria, Hungary, and several other Eastern European countries. It has subsidiary companies which engineer, manufacture and supply oil and gas well servicing equipment to international markets.
The company requires a powerful visual identity, beginning with a corporate logo and name brand ID that reflects its primary connection with the global oil and gas industry.
The logo should help position Empire as a capable, experienced, technologically-advanced company in its field.
Empire's market is comprised of companies that are involved in exploration, drilling, and production in the petroleum industry around the world. Customers cover a wide spectrum, from small local operators to multi-national oil companies. It's a macho industry - powerful hi-tech equipment often working in challenging locations, like deserts, offshore, or the frozen north.
The logo will be used in all corporate communications, including a corporate website.
Potential investors are also a communications target, so the logo should enhance the company's strength, credibility and future potential. (I know, I know ... that's a tall order for one little logo, but you can do it :-) ... Amaze me.)
Obviously, the logo should be strong (but not threatening) ... industrial on a global scale... bold, clean, symbolic shapes would be appropriate. The logo should somehow include the text - "Empire International Energy Services", either by itself or in combination with a symbolic graphic component.
The client has no specific color preference, but colors should probably also be bold and radiant. Not to impose design restrictions, but "energy" suggests heat - red, orange, yellow. Burning hydrogen & natural gas flames are blue, sometimes with orange. Again, no restrictions, but I don't really see pastel greens and lavender hues here.

I have a 7 mo. old puppy and at my first vet visit for immunizations, I wanted him micro-chipped. My vet said he would do it if I absolutely insisted, but that it is excrutiatingly painful and would prefer to do it when he was put under to be neutered. I did wait because I didn't want to cause him any pain if I knew I would have him neutered in a few months anyway. But I was wondering what everyone's experience was in having it done along with vaccines?

NEXT up in my look at big-name beers in little green bottles that all seem to come from north-west Europe is Beck's Imported. Now, I've tried some Beck's before. It was alright, but quickly became lousy. That however, was probably not the imported stuff. So it's with… not an open mind. More a mind that is slightly ajar that I approach this small green bottle of Beck's Imported.
First impression is that this little green bottle looks almost identical to its competitors. The glass is green. The bottle is the same shape. And the front label all ensures that you confuse it with every other bottle of premium continental lager.
But this bottle has a secret weapon. Neck foil.
Not the sort of gold foil that wraps all the way up to the bottle top. This one is solver and simply wraps around the neck. It doesn't say much either. Simply have the "Beck's" name; the unusual logo featuring a key on a red shield; and the all important word, "Imported". Not fancy, but it achieves its goal.
The front label looks familiar. Haven't we seen a roundel like this before?
Yes we have. Heineken and Stella Artois are just two that you'll confuse this bottle of Beck's with. Sticking to tradition or being unoriginal? Leave your thoughts in the comments at the end of this post.
As for what the label itself says, the borders are always the best place to start. The top gives the name of the brewery as "Brauerei Beck & Co". With the bottom giving the place of origin as "Bremen Germany". We get a proper look at their "Reg Tm" which is unusual indeed. Does anyone out there know what the key on the red shield means?
This beer also appears to be an award winner. Something about Bremmen in 1874. And an award from the International Exhibition at Philidelphia in the USA from 1876. That's a reasonable heritage. But should we be worried by their lack of competitive success over the intervening 130 years?
Over on the back label, the restraint from the front is replaced by the multi-lingual blocks of text that we've become familiar with, with exported beers.
Just underneath a dozen different languages for the word "beer", is something unusual. And German. In a little box entitled "Beck's Quality", we learn that this has been "Brewed Under the German Purity Law of 1516". Because in Germany, even the concept of purity has order and rules.
The ingredients that we're told about are "water, malted barley, hops". Oddly, the vital statistics for this bottle are almost hidden away. You need to go looking for them in order to discover that this is a 33 centilitre bottle with an alcoholic volume of 5%. On the other hand, you probably already guessed both of those details.
For the curious, there are addresses on this label too. There a the full German postal address. And a website address, which is www.becks.com.
So, is Beck's Imported going to be another indistinctive yet well-made lager? Probably. But I better check to make sure. Time to crack open this bottle.
As has been the case with most of these lagers, this one comes with an excellent head. Not too frothy or uncontrollable. Yet it leaves a good, fairly consistent layer of foam on top of your drink.
This colour is little surprise either. It's a pale yellow. Maybe a shade darker than its near competitors. It's a similar story with the smell. There is the slightest of aromas of malted barley. Very lagery. But somehow fuller than either Carlsberg or Heineken. Not as much as Stella Artois however.
The taste, regrettably, is on the cheap and horrid side of average. It might not say "lager" anywhere on the bottle, but that's definitely what I'm tasting. And it's below par. The flavour is surprisingly strong and full-on. Unlike the few I've tried recently. It tastes of a blend of malted barley and hops. But all you end up noticing is the 'sharp' and lingering bitterness.
After a few gulps, I can see a few reasons why you should consider trying Beck's Imported . It has flavour. More so than some of the watery lagers I've tried recently. Even if that bitter lagery taste isn't to my taste, it will be for some of you out there. The quality of the product is roughly where I expected it to be. All of which gives it a clean and fairly drinkable character.
Predictably though, there's a lot to put you off. I found the taste vile. Something you will too, if you don't much like lager anyway. If you drink a lot of these on a night out and forget to brush your teeth before going to bed, you are going to have monumentally toxic breath the next morning. And it will make you burp.
How can I sum up Beck's Imported? Or for that matter, the domestically produced Beck's? Well, it's adequate. Barely. But ultimately, not something you drink by choice. This is something you drink because it's the only beer the bar serves, or because your local supermarket or off-license has a good deal on the caseload. In other words, it's what you drink because you have to. If, however, you get a choice in the matter, then choose something better.
Rating: 2.35
Have you tried Beck's Imported? Or ordinary Beck's? What did you think of it?

DWill on Telegraph TV (UK)
June 4, 2009
You know that feeling you get, or are supposed to get, or hear about from others, when you hear a sappy song or come across an old picture that reminds you of someone from your past and you get that feeling deep inside you and miss them from the depths of your heart? Watching this video, that's how I feel about DWill. I feel like it's been so, so, incredibly long since I've seen him and I just want him back where he belongs. Thrilling me on the court.

OWASP Newsletter #1 – December 1st 2006 to December 31st 2006
Welcome to 2007 from all of us at OWASP!
I would like to take a moment to welcome you all to our first edition of the OWASP newsletter and introduce myself. My name is Aaron Holmes and I have had the pleasure of working on the OWASP website as part of the OWASP Autumn of Code (AoC) 2006. It has been a rewarding and educational experience for myself, and I feel OWASP has benefited greatly by the many excellent projects which have been developed and advanced through the AoC 2006 program. With all this activity and excitement, we have decided that we should produce and distribute a regular newsletter to keep everyone up to date on the direction of OWASP and our many great projects. We invite your feedback and news submissions which can be submitted to [email protected] and [email protected] Enjoy!
In the next newsletter we will take a deeper look to the AoC projects and explain how they can benefit you.
Until next week, happy coding!
Aaron M. Holmes OWASP Newsletter Editor and Website Developer
OWASP Autumn of Code (AoC) update
The end of 2006 marks an important time for OWASP with the successful completion of the Autumn of Code 2006. Four of the nine original projects have been completed and are now officially closed. The completed projects include CAL9000, OWASP SiteGenerator, OWASP Report Generator, the Testing_Guide, and the Owasp.org Website and Branding project. Additionally, three other projects are up for completion and will be finalized in the very near future; including Pantera (Web Assessment Studio Project), new WebGoat lessons, and OWASP Tiger (formally named Owasp.net Tools). The remaining two projects, WebScarab NX and LiveCD have been granted 2 month project extensions.
All projects have seen great developments which have been made possible by the hard work and efforts of our AoC participants, project leaders, community members and owasp membership fees (used to pay the AoC sponsorships)
Featured Projects: ORG and OSG
OWASP Report Generator (ORG) and OWASP Site Generator(OSG) are projects that have recently been updated through the Autumn of Code.
OWASP Report Generator (ORG) is designed for security consultants and aims to aid the creation, management and reporting of security audits (i.e. penetration testing, security assessments, etc). With ORG you can centrally manage and track security assessments projects, while reducing considerably the time spent on non-testing activities. ORG allows for the easy (using Altova's Authentic XML WYSIWYG editor) and quick: a) record/document findings, b) create reports in multiple formats and c) track the findings till they are fixed (additional features: Image copy and paste, Nmap import, plug-in extension,automatic xsd schema verification, archiving and data exports). All data is stored in XML files and all reports (in HTML, PDF, Powerpoint or Excel) are created using XSL transformations.
OWASP Site Generator(OSG) is a teaching tool that can be used to create dynamic sites build from a predefined list of vulnerabilities (data stored in XML files and new dinamic websites loaded in seconds). This allows for security trainers to show specific examples of problems and for developers to look at real vulnerable code. It also will allow the assessment of the effectiveness of Web Application Security Scanners and Web Application Firewalls.

OWASP News Headlines (from here on owasp.org)
- Jan 2 - The Best Security Books Reference OWASP - There are over 50 security books that reference OWASP. Many of the authors are contributing to OWASP, speaking at our conferences, and participating in our chapters. Some of the books just recommend OWASP, but many are structured around OWASP, and others have whole chapters dedicated to our tools.
- Nov 28 - JBroFuzz 0.3 Released - This version adds a more stable core, length updating for fuzzed POST requests and allows you to specify your own fuzz vectors in a separate file.
- Nov 26 - OWASP Report Generator 0.88 Released - A tool for security consultants that supports the documentation and reporting of security vulnerabilities discovered during security audits.
- Nov 26 - OWASP Site Generator v.70 Released - A tool that allows the creating of dynamic websites based on XML files and predefined vulnerabilities (some simple, some complex) for testing application security tools.
- Nov 14 - Three great new OWASP projects
- OWASP Encoding Project A nice encoding library that supports Java, .NET, PHP, Python, Perl, JavaScript, and Ajax.
- OWASP WSFuzzer Project A fuzzing tool for Web Services to support penetration testing efforts.
- OWASP Insecure Web App Project A realistic but insecure Java EE web application for use in learning and testing tools.
- Nov 12 - New OWASP App Security Search Engine - We're beta-testing a new Google-powered search engine for application security. The engine indexes the OWASP site and all the other sites dedicated to application security on the Internet.
- Nov 7 - OWASP Hits Two-Million Page Views - Thank you all for your support! We serve approximately 1/2 million page views every month.
Application Security News (from here on owasp.org)
- Dec 14 - JavaScript error handler leaks information - An attacker can find out whether you're logged into your favorite website or not. They include a script tag where the src attribute doesn't point to a script, but instead to a page on your favorite websites. Based on the error the script parser generates when trying to parse the HTML of the page that's returned, the attacker can tell whether you're logged in or not. Should extend to access control easily. Protect yourself with CSRF protection.
- Dec 13 - UCLA spins massive breach - Why not just say what measures you've really taken? Are all developers trained? Do you do code review and security testing? "Jim Davis, UCLA's chief information officer, said a computer trespasser used a program designed to exploit an undetected software flaw to bypass all security measures and gain access to the restricted database that contains information on about 800,000 current and former students, faculty and staff, as well as some student applicants and parents of students or applicants who applied for financial aid. 'In spite of our diligence, a sophisticated hacker found and exploited a subtle vulnerability in one of hundreds of applications,' Davis said in the statement."
- Dec 10 - MySpace and Apple mess - MySpace and Apple show how NOT to handle security incidents (see also How Not to Distribute Security Patches)
- Dec 2 - Oracle blames security researchers - "We do not credit security researchers who disclose the existence of vulnerabilities before a fix is available. We consider such practices, including disclosing 'zero day' exploits, to be irresponsible." So the question on everybody's mind - is the Oracle Software Security Assurance program real? Or are David Litchfield and Cesar Cerrudo right that Emperor has no clothes?

Updated A Japanese chap is a bit browned off after a hospital wrongly diagnosed him with rectal cancer, whipped out the offending section of digestive tract and fitted an articial replacement.
According to the Mainichi Daily, the poor bloke had surgery back in March at a university hospital in western Miyazaki prefecture to remove a tumour, but subsequent tests on the excised tissue showed no signs of the suspected cancer.
The unnamed victim has now filed an action in Miyazaki District Court looking to take the hospital for 35 million yen (around £231k). A hospital spokesman confirmed: "We realise the complaint has been filed. We will take appropriate action after examining the case." ®
Thanks to Tokyo-based reader Mark Brown for this technical clarification: "I think this may be a simple mistranslation - the characters 人工肛門 in Japanese directly reads as 'artificial rectum' in English but the meaning is actually a colostomy or an ileostomy."

2004 Suzuki XL7 LX Review - Long-Term Update
10,000 Miles With Suzuki's Versatile Mini-Ute
We at Four Wheeler have always looked at the compact SUV segment with curiosity and admiration. These smaller, lighter, more affordable vehicles play an important role in the hierarchy of traffic culture. Around here we've listened to faultfinders complain about long-term vehicles and their burden of size, ever increasing like the lunch lines of a fast food joint. Not so with the XL7, which is small enough to squeeze into compact parking spots, yet big enough to seat seven. This micro machine fills the gap where larger vehicles must continue onward, longing for a void absent of potential door dingers.
Our XL7 is a five-speed model, so it feels even more go-cartish and nimble than predicted. A torquey 2.7L V-6 produces 185 hp and does so sparingly when it comes to fuel consumption. Our long-term logbook has produced some impressive mpg numbers, making it a staff favorite for commuting and road trips alike. Interior comfort is average, and all the modern conveniences you'd expect to find in an SUV are present and easy to operate. The optional seven-speaker stereo system features a separate powered subwoofer under the driver seat, which we found adequate for most of today's pop music.
Base price: $21,399
Price as tested: $21,749
Four-wheel-drive system: Pushbutton-activated two-speed transfer case
Miles to date: 10,688
Miles since last report: First report
Average mpg: 17.3
Best tank mpg: 20.6
Worst tank mpg: 14.8
7,500-mile service: $31.74
Hot: The 2.7L, six-cylinder, 24-valve DOHC engine supplies its bountiful 184 lb-ft of torque at a low 4,000 rpm; the suspension is well matched for the lightweight chassis and has no problem taking speed bumps way too fast (in mom's opinion); well-balanced proportions of cargo room and seating capacity for those who venture beyond the paved confines and cramped parking lots of the city.
Not: The XL7's five-speed manual transmission has very narrow gates, which make shifting difficult. At least two of our testers complained about missing a shift during normal driving conditions; the not-so-flexible suspension system makes the 'Zuk less than impressive off-pavement; no traction control and no locking differentials mean the little XL7 is left spinning its tires with the slightest variation of loose terrain.
* "Very little road noise."
* "Quick and zippy around town."
* "Great gas mileage out of the small tank."

Kirstein, Lincoln
Lincoln Kirstein (kûr´stīn, kĬr´–), 1907–96, American dance and theater executive and writer, b. Rochester, N.Y. One of the most significant figures in 20th cent. American ballet, Kirstein was cofounder of the American Ballet and the School of the American Ballet in 1934 and of Ballet Caravan in 1936. He is best known for helping to establish the New York City Ballet, and was its general director from 1948 to 1989. Together with choreographer George Balanchine, whom he brought to the United States in 1933, Kirstein encouraged the development of a truly American style of dance. He was the author of many books on dance, including Dance (1935), a compendious history; Ballet Alphabet (1939); The Classic Ballet, Basic Technique and Terminology (with Muriel Stuart, 1952); Movement and Metaphor (1970); a history of the New York City Ballet (1973); Nijinsky Dancing (1975); and Ballet: Bias and Belief (1983).
A man of enormous refinement, varied interests, and definite tastes, Kirstein was also the author of numerous essays, many collected in By With To & From (1991); a novel (1932); two books of poetry (1965, 1987); dance and art criticism; and several works on modern figurative artists, including the definitive biography of Elie Nadelman (1973) and two studies of Pavel Tchelitchew (1947, 1994). In the U.S. army during and after World War II, Kirstein was instrumental in recovering for their owners works of art plundered by Nazi officials during the war. As a producer he worked with the American Shakespeare Theatre at Stratford, Conn., and for many years presented the 12th-century musical drama The Play of Daniel annually at Christmas in New York. Kirstein also promoted cultural exchange programs between Japan and the United States.

Presidential Commitment
Among the greatest challenges that institutions of higher learning face today is the necessity to help students come to a deeper and more resilient understanding of the diversity of peoples that constitute the world in which we live. One way such understanding is cultivated is by awareness that our life together is deeply enriched by the cultural, racial, and ethnic qualities each of us embodies.
We take "cultural pluralism" to mean recognition that difference is not opposed to community, that difference is both inescapable and indelible in any coming together. Thus we pursue "diversity" not as something external to our community nor with the assumption that more "difference" is better but because it is at the heart of who we are and what we do.
The College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University are committed to the promotion of a diverse community, one in which students, faculty, and staff venture from their comfort zones for the sake of learning, develop a critical perspective on the creation of difference, and pursue self-exploration with the knowledge that understanding yourself requires engagement with others.
We, the presidents of the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University, are conscious that our dedication to cultural pluralism requires immediate and sustained efforts. As presidents of these two institutions, we are committed to support this process and we count on your generosity to contribute in creative ways to this mission.

What become a passion started out as almost a necessity. Her family wasn't very wealthy so she didn't have many of the things teenagers often take for granted.
"My mom is my rock," said Frazier, the youngest of three children raised by a single mother. "I didn't want her to stress out as far as having to buy me clothes because now I could make my own clothes since I was learning to sew."
Frazier told her sewing teacher that while she enjoyed sewing, she wanted to make and create her own items. The teacher introduced her to the concept of fashion design and helped her pick out some schools. Her school of choice was Stephens College, which had a reputable fashion program, located about two and a half hours outside St. Louis, where she was born and raised.
She was initially denied admission to the program because of poor high school grades, but she prevailed by writing a heartfelt letter explaining why she needed to be there.
"I am the type of person that doesn't let a closed door stay shut," said Frazier. "They came back and accepted me on a trial basis. I went on and I graduated."
She was even invited back to Stephens as a juror to evaluate the senior collections in a competition that determines who will get a fashion show. She is excited about returning to her alma mater later this month for the competition, an honor extended only to those alumni who have established themselves in the fashion industry.
Frazier's designs have been worn by notable clients like Wendy Williams, Angie Stone and Queen Latifah. She's even hemmed a pair of pants for Janet Jackson. She has been featured twice on BET's "Rip the Runway" event, a highly anticipated annual showcase of the work of primarily black fashion designers. Most recently, she was a contestant on season six of the popular television series "Project Runway."
Despite her growing success, she'll be the first to admit she often finds herself struggling to make ends meet.
"I'm the type of designer, I grind and I hustle," said Frazier. "Sometimes for a long time I would have to waver between do I pay this electric bill or do I buy this fabric because I have this vision? Maybe this could be the one."
Part of the reason, she explained, is because she never wanted to design for a design company. In an attempt to remain true to herself, she avoided major design companies because they tend to create clothes based on the trends of the season. When she did work for companies, it was in a production or technical design capacity.
Picking up the business aspect of fashion along the way, she founded her own company, Qristyl Frazier Designs, which specializes in fashions for women age 22 to 55, size 4 to 24. Though she caters to women of all sizes, her focus now has shifted to women who are plus size, or as she's coined it, "plus sexy."
"Plus sexy is really about having ownership of your curves and feeling good about yourself. If you have a little more hips or a little more booty or you're top heavy, that's okay, I call it plus sexy. Women need clothes that they can wear and feel good in every single day," said Frazier.
She has customers all over the United States, from Miami to Milwaukee to Oakland to Phoenix, but to get to where she wants to be, she realizes she needs to land a major sponsor. In the past, the lack of steady financing always prevented her from moving forward.
"It does get exhausting because I have been doing this for so long, but I don't know what else to do. I've put this much into it, I can't stop now," said Frazier. "And I'm not going to stop, because I have faith. I have a strong foundation of faith, and it'll get me there."

Stanczyk is stuck on Pacanow. So I thought I would collect the metric statistics for all events (Births/Marriages/Deaths — Ur./Mal./Zg.) and individuals from the marriages.
— sample data collected:
On marriages, I wanted to figure out how many times a person was from outside the parish. On all events, I wanted to know how many of each per year and the totals, plus the net growth (Births-Deaths) of Pacanow population (catholic).
I also hope that someone from Poland a genealogist or a resident of Pacanow or an archivist can answer one question: Is there any existing metric data for Pacanow before 1875? It would also be nice to know why, if there is no data or where if there is data.
A neighboring parish, Biechow (my grandmother's parish), has the same data available online from the National Archive (AP), but has data from late 17th century (w.) up to about 1850 (from Diocesan Archive – AD). Again why is there a gap between 1850 and 1875 in Biechow in the AD/AP data? Why is there no record of Pacanow data in the Diocesan Archive (AD)?
