sukathesibe necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 102 diseños de 19 diseñadores freelance.
Lincoln Village Animal Hospital
New logo for a 12 year old, highly accredited animal hospital in Waterloo Ontario, Canada, home to R.I.M. in the centre of Canada's tech triangle.
We provide a very high level of care, and clients come to us because they trust our Vet and appreciate her passion and knowledge.
We love pets, of course, but we also love the environment, and definitely would like to incorporate a Green feel into the logo.
Our reception area has a contemporary soothing professional spa-like feel to it…rock wall, earthen tones, stainless steel and glass, composite granite counter, 8m wilderness mural. I've attached a few pictures of our hospital reception and exterior.
Target market is clients looking for the best medical care for their pet.
Diverse clientele, ranging from single, young urbanites to suburban couples 30-55, with or without children, often, but not always, above average income and education.
We would like a dog and cat sillouette on the logo. No breeds with cropped ears, cause its cruel. Veterinarians' favourite dog breed is a Siberian Husky, it would be great to use, as long as it doesn't look like a big bad wolf. Other breeds or generic dogs would be fine, but the images should not be goofy cartoons as we're more sophisticated than that.
We'd like to represent our green, planet friendly environment...and I don't mean a dog and, you know, a tree! More like a connection between caring for our pets and caring for our planet.
Our old logo was clip art express, see attachment, so we'd really like to avoid that this time.
2-4 Colours… Green, grays, earthtones or whatever. Just no neon or shock colours thanks.
Logo should not be too finely detailed, as we'd like it to be identifiable up close or far away, in full colour or in black & white.
I'd like clients to know our name so we would prefer that "Lincoln Village" is featured larger than "Animal Hospital".
Thank you so much for your interest and effort. I'm so excited to see what you have in mind.

Kendrick's two HRs, Pujols' 497th lead Angels
DH drives in four runs, slugger hits three-run shot in Weaver's first win
DETROIT -- Mike Scioscia may have been a little sour about having to use his closer in a game his team at one point led by 10 runs. But everything else about how the Angels began a difficult three-city road trip had to feel comforting to the longtime skipper, from the up-and-down production generated by a shorthanded offense to the way his ace pitcher found his form against one of baseball's most imposing lineups.
Howie Kendrick hit his first two homers of the season, Albert Pujols went deep for the 497th time in his career, Ian Stewart fell a homer shy of the cycle, four Angels hitters had multiple extra-base hits and Jered Weaver pitched six innings of one-run ball against the Tigers, capturing his first win amid an 11-6 rout on a chilly Friday night at Comerica Park.
"It's always nice to get the monkey off your back early on," said Weaver, now 1-2 through his first four starts. "Hopefully, I'll build off this one."
The Angels looked like a team that built off its last one, a gritty, 12-inning win over the A's that ended on Chris Iannetta's walk-off homer late Wednesday night and avoided what would've been a demoralizing sweep in a series where each game was decided by one run.
The Angels played four extra-inning games in their just-completed six-game homestand, but there would be no need for that on Friday.
A lineup that was without without Josh Hamilton (left thumb surgery), Kole Calhoun (sprained right ankle) and David Freese (scratched because of a tight right quad) forced Drew Smyly to throw 64 pitches in two innings, racked up 10 extra-base hits for the second time in five days and put up double-digit runs by the sixth inning, while en route to a 10th consecutive win against the Tigers.
"We've had some tough games," Kendrick said, "but we've been battling. That says a lot about our team."
With a four-seam fastball that was mostly 86-87 mph, a curveball that was thrown as low as 64, a changeup that's in the mid-to-high 70s and a two-seamer he relied on heavily, Weaver scattered three hits, walked three, struck out three and, in typical fashion, recorded 12 of his 18 outs in the air, dropping his ERA from 5.79 to 4.74.
It was the lanky right-hander the Angels expected, a far cry from the guy who labored through season-opening starts against the Mariners, Astros and Mets. As former teammate Torii Hunter said, "Weaver drives a Mercedes, too. He's good."
"The strength has been coming back a little bit," the Mercedes-driving Weaver said. "I've been working real hard at getting the strength back; legs and shoulder stuff. Maybe the angle was a little better on the fastball than normal, but I threw the ball the same way I have been all year. I'm trying to find that happy medium -- not trying to do to much, trying to stay within myself and pitch. I felt like I did a better job of that today."
The runs surely helped, and none were bigger than the ones in the top of the fourth.
Weaver ran into trouble for the first and only time in the bottom of the third, giving up a two-out RBI single to Hunter and then walking Miguel Cabrera. But he battled back from being down 2-0 to strike out Victor Martinez, and his offense reeled off four runs the next half-inning, getting a two-run double from Mike Trout and a two-run homer from Kendrick -- initially called a double, then overturned after an official challenge.
"Very comforting," Weaver said. "Four runs was great. Going into it 4-1 and to come back and score four takes even more pressure off. Especially in a big ballpark like this with the cold weather, you can fill up the zone even more than you would."
Pujols made it an 11-1 laugher in the sixth, with a three-run, line-drive homer over the left-field fence that gave him five home runs and put him three away from being the 26th member of the 500 club.
It was the Angels' Major League-leading 27th home run, after totaling 24 in all of April last season.
"We have the potential to drive the ball as well as any team we've had here," Scioscia said. "There's some different dynamics of the offense, maybe not quite as much team speed, but definitely batter's box offense is there. Even without Kole and Josh, we're still seeing some guys drive the ball well, and that's important."
Josh Wall struggled mightily in his Angels debut, getting charged with five earned runs after allowing all five batters he faced in the seventh to reach and forcing Scioscia to use Ernesto Frieri in the ninth.
But the Angels got a win to kick off a road trip in which they'll face three teams -- the Tigers, Nationals and Yankees -- that went a combined 42 games above .500 last season. And a lot else went right.
"It's a tough road trip, but you can't think about that," Pujols said. "We still have a really good ballclub and we have some good pitching going. We're going to face some good pitching. We just have to get ready to play and hopefully get the lead off the bat like we did today."

When we talk about the poor little rich girl syndrome we think of the bratty Veruca Salt or Paris Hilton; kids born with silver spoons who think nothing of demanding a pony or a squirrel on whim. The poor part of the phrase is of course said with resentful irony, but also with a measure of pity, because we know that while these girls are anything but poor economically speaking, they are poor in character, honour and rectitude. On some level we feel sorry for them, even while hating and resenting them.
But of course not all rich girls are "princesses" and not all poor girls have character. Some are just victims of economic circumstance and do the best they can. Having poor parents is sometimes not any worse than having rich ones.
And privilege isn't always about money or the lack of it. It can be about power, even on a small scale.
I was the teacher's kid and sometimes that was seen as an unfair advantage at school. When I won an English prize, I heard the whispers that my father was the English subject master and they stung. I worked hard to achieve my awards on my own merit. It was important to me, and my father was always at pains, hyper-vigilant in fact, to make sure I was not given any unfair advantage. And then, naturally, after graduation, I was on my own because no-one gave a toss whether my father was a teacher or not. When I got into university, it was on my grades and nothing more.
I did not grow up wealthy or privileged but I do know what it looks like. For a while back in the 1990s I was the personal housekeeper for Gretel Packer, daughter, at the time, of the richest man in Australia.
But Gretel was a far cry from the princess in the gilded tower. She was lovely, down-to-earth and I adored her. In truth, though, while I envied her lifestyle, I also felt sorry for her. How did she know who were her real friends? How did she know when offered a contract, award or invitation, whether it was on her own merit or because of her father?
This week, Frances Abbott is in the news re her scholarship to Whitehouse Institute of Design. The more information that leaks, the dodgier it looks. But I don't blame her. I blame her parents for putting the young woman in this awkward and murky spotlight. I'm sure the Abbotts are a loving and warm family who want only the best for their girls but this was a dropped ball. Politically and personally.
Because Frances indubitably did receive that scholarship because of who she is not because of her extraordinary ability, above and beyond all her fellow students. That is my solid opinion. I came to it because I know that she will have been gifted, smiled and enveloped in a swaddling of gratuitous entitlements ever since her father began climbing the political power beanstalk.
It's human nature to suck up to the powerful. Always has been, always will be. Some of Frances' teachers, hairdressers, doctors, cab-drivers, friends and possibly the chairman of her college board will have treated her with a deference reserved for those they deemed deserving of a little extra respect. Wherever you have the rich, famous or powerful and their children, you will have sycophants, lurking, always lurking. Even normal people can suffer from that star-struck awe. We all have. (see a gallery of Kevin Rudd selfies for proof!)
I'm sure Frances Abbott has also borne the brunt of cruel and vicious barbs due to her familial connections as well. There will have been those who have sought not to curry her favour but to fry her golden goose. And this week, her feathers are being well and truly plucked.
I'm sure young Frances will be feeling the pain that comes with public scrutiny and wrath and I feel sorry for her. She will perhaps be suffering some degree of guilt for her part in dulling the shine on her father's crown. But I doubt she could have foreseen this. She's the innocent here.
This scholarship does appear to have spontaneously materialised almost exclusively because of Frances' DNA rather than her portfolio and that, to my mind, was an awful thing to do to her. If it was a gratuitous hand-out, then it was an insult to her fellow students by the Whitehouse Institute of Design.
And her father should have foreseen that this could hurt Frances as much as him and he should have declined or declared the scholarship, just to be safe. If not for himself, for his daughter's reputation.
Poor kid. It's one of those first-world, one percenter sort of problems that come from privilege and wealth. Not something my feral five will probably ever have to encounter. Lucky them.

I'm 6'1'', 140 lbs. I'm creating this niche thread as a sort of home base for the members of our forum who are around my height and weight. I see there are a good number of us from reading this thread. Some of this advice is spread around the forum, but it would be nice to have it all in one place, both for ourselves and future lanky freaks who join the forum in frustration. I have created threads for 38L and 36L suits (see my sig). But this thread is a place for more general style advice on clothing our emaciated bodies. Most of this applies to skinny dudes of any height, but these problems are more acute for the tall. Hopefully some of this helps-- please add any info you have for the good of your tall, skinny brothersRule #1: get custom shirts. Little will fit you off the rack. I, for one, have been extremely happy with Vmclothiers.com, but there are many other options. Search SF. Rule #2: pants can be tapered below the knee for $30 Funny how I didn't learn this till the age of 27. The beanpole man can usually find pants that fit passably in the waist and thighs-- it's his tiny calves that create his dilemma. Well, dilemma no more: your tailor can easily taper pants below the knee. Experiment with different hem (i.e. pant leg opening widths). I go with 7.75'' or 8'', myself. To go full GQ, go even smaller. Rule #3: 100% wool pants. Cotton is your sworn enemy! By cotton, I mean khakis, chinos, etc. Not jeans, which is a different topic. Since our legs are basically long sticks, most cottons and wool blend pants will branch off from our bodies and create odd angles on our legs, especially under the knee. Ever wonder why khakis look like utter shit on you? This is why. Even slim-cut and/or tapered. Since cotton and blend fabrics form edges easily and our legs are not filling them out, fabric pops away from the knee, the hem gets caught in shoelaces easily and starts bending and folding. 100% wool, however, drapes softly-- straight down-- and provides the most flattering look for us, especially in the lower leg and where the pants meet the shoes. 98% 2% Lycra is preeettty good still, but not as good as 100% wool; the fabric is decent but a bit too stiff. One exception I know to this general rule is 75% Tencel 25% cotton found in some brands (Marc by Marc Jacobs is one), which hangs more like wool. Needless to say, get slim-cut 100% wool pants. Rule #4: 100% wool jackets. Cotton is, again, your enemy! The same basic rule applies to suit and sport jackets. Cotton clothes are meant to be filled in by the body, and when not filled out, angle away from the body. So a cotton jacket, even in your size, will tend to flare out from your waist. 100% wool will fall down, not stick out. Rule #5: double-vented jackets work best Single vented on the ultra thin man is playing with fire-- if the jacket's unbuttoned or just normally sized on you, there's a danger that the single vent will flare out on you, creating an extremely bad silhouette. A double-vent will fall down no matter how little your pathetic chest is filling in the jacketThat said, if the jacket actually fits you properly, single vent is fine. What about Dior Homme, you ask? The reason single vent works on Dior is (I assume) because the jacket is sized/cut tighter in the chest and waist than most other brands and because the jacket is short (i.e. does not cover your entire rear), it has less tendency to flare. A ventless jacket has a similar problem to single vent-- the bottom of your jacket may bell out when unbuttoned if made from cotton. Nudie Slim Jims The best cut jeans for tall skinny man. Fits right in the upper thigh but isn't flamboyantly low-rise or tight in the crotch. Slim, but masculine. Fits right, but doesn't look like "skinny jeans." Sweaters: finally, some good news A medium sweater in almost every American brand is cut for what's considered the "average" male size: a 40R. The good news for us is that since sweater fabric is soft and drapes differently from a suit jacket, medium sweaters from most brands work well even for men who wear 38 and 36 chest suits. Some brands that work For pants: Theory, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Marks & Spencer (the tall skinny guy's best friend), H&M, Kenneth Cole, Ted Baker... Know any others? Other stuff: most Swedish brands (Nudie, Acne, H&M, etc) are cut for us, since Swedes are tall and not fat. German brands: Adidas, Puma, Hugo Boss... again, because we resemble German build more than American (which is shorter and wider). That's a start-- chime in, fellow Ichabod Cranes.

There will be no Triple Crown this year, either. Doug O'Neill, the trainer for I'll Have Another, just went on The Dan Patrick Show and declared the horse is "officially out" of tomorrow's Belmont Stakes because of a "little problem with his left front leg." O'Neill also thinks I'll Have Another will not compete again. It's the first time since 1936 the winner of both the Kentucky Derby and The Preakness will miss the Belmont because of an injury. The rest of us are now free to ignore tomorrow's race.

Wherever Kate Mason goes, she is never without insect repellent.
Even in the middle of winter the 42-year-old reaches for the spray, applying it liberally each morning, like other people brush their teeth.
She carries it in her bag so she can continue to apply it all day long - because not doing so can have far-reaching consequences.
"You would hope the cold weather would have killed off insects but I can't take the risk of getting bitten," she explains.
And it's not just insect bites that Kate lives in fear of.
"I can't shave my legs in the bath or shower now either, as the slightest cut could be devastating. Instead I have to use an electric razor which is not as effective.
"I have to moisturise my legs every day, and am constantly checking for marks or cracks on my skin, I can't walk around in bare feet either."
Kate is living with the effects of having her lymph nodes removed as part of her treatment for cervical cancer. She is now at high risk of lymphedema in her legs. People with the chronic long-term condition struggle to drain fluid from their body, meaning any infection from something as small as a spot, bite or skin nick would see Kate's legs balloon up, potentially leaving her immobile.
The mum-of-two was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August last year.
She had attended every smear test offered to her and had not had an abnormal smear result before 2017. However, she had lived with a strain of the HPV virus associated with cervical cancer since it was picked up during a routine test in 2014. Between 2015 and 2018, Kate started experiencing irregular periods – something that had not happened previously – and occasional bleeding. From 2017 onwards Kate started to suffer with water infections for which she sought medical advice.
"When I was first told about the HPV virus, I wasn't that concerned," she recalls.
"Then last year I had another smear which showed borderline changes. That is when I started to get really concerned."
Last May, tests revealed the HPV virus was still present, and following further tests she was told she had cervical cancer.
"Nothing can prepare you for the news that you have cancer," she says.
"When I heard those words my life was turned upside down. My head was in a spin and I was scared about what the future would hold, not only for me but my children."
Kate, who lives in Sheffield, and runs a wedding business, has two daughters Isabella and Kitty, aged 11 and five.
Doctors told Kate there was a five per cent chance that the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes. She was told that if the cancer had spread, she would never know and it could kill her.
Kate opted to have her lymph node removed, saying that her obligation to her two young children outweighed the risk of potentially developing the lymphedema which would not kill her like the cancer would. She also underwent a full hysterectomy.
Today, Kate is clear of cancer. However, she attends regular hospital appointments, as she is still at risk of it returning for five years.
"Although I no longer have cancer, that's not the end of it," says Kate, who has surgical scars, and lives with leg pain which makes exercising more difficult. Previously she enjoyed running with her partner Rob and had completed half marathons.
She adds: "At first we didn't know what to do, but when the news of my diagnosis started to sink in I started to find out about the support that is available. Charities like Jo's Trust have been amazing."
Kate is sharing her story this month as part of Cervical Cancer Prevention Week, which runs from January 21 to 27, in the hopes that her message could encourage other women to take up their cervical screening appointments.
"I just hope that by speaking out, other women and their families will realise the help and support available to them," she said.
Rebecca Hall, specialist medical negligence solicitor at Irwin Mitchell - currently representing Kate to help establish answers to concerns she has about her care - adds: "The last few months have been incredibly difficult for Kate and her family as they attempted to come to terms with her diagnosis and the effect it will have on her life.
"Early diagnosis is key to beating cervical cancer therefore it is vital that women fully participate in the NHS screening programme, are aware of the symptoms, and if needed, ensure they receive medical advice as soon as possible.
"It is important that women diagnosed with the disease do not feel alone as there is help and support available."
Cervical Cancer Prevention Week is organised by charity Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust.
Visit www.jostrust.org.uk for details.
What you can do to prevent cervical cancer:

National Hurricane Center
Centers for Disease Control & Prevention
Welcome to the Weather Underground storm surge pages! Before accessing our storm surge inundation maps for the U.S. coast, we recommend you familiarize yourself with how to interpret these images by reading on. If you live near the ocean, the storm surge is the most dangerous part of a hurricane's hazards. The high death tolls of the ten deadliest U.S. hurricane disasters, including the Galveston Hurricane of 1900 (over 8000 killed), the Lake Okeechobee Hurricane of 1928 (2500 killed), and Hurricane Katrina of 2005 (1833 killed), were primarily due to the storm surge. The storm surge is water that is pushed onto shore by a hurricane. It is rarely a "wall of water" as often claimed, but rather a rise of water that can be as rapid as several feet in just a few minutes. The storm surge moves with the forward speed of the hurricane--typically 10 - 15 mph. This wind-driven water moving at 10 - 15 mph has tremendous power. A cubic yard of sea water weighs 1,728 pounds--almost a ton. A one-foot deep storm surge can sweep your car off the road, and it is difficult to stand in a six-inch surge. Compounding the destructive power of the rushing water is the large amount of floating debris that typically accompanies the surge. Trees, pieces of buildings, and other debris float on top of the storm surge and act as battering rams that can cave in any buildings unfortunate enough to stand in the way. If you receive an evacuation order for a hurricane storm surge, it is a very good idea to get out sooner rather than later. The storm surge can begin to rise a day before the storm hits, cutting off escape routes when low-lying highways are flooded. This is particularly true along the Gulf of Mexico shore.
Figure 1. Hurricane Katrina's storm surge pours over the 8-foot high north levee of the MRGO/Intra-Coastal Canal, directly under the Paris Road Bridge in eastern New Orleans. The photo was taken by Dan McClosky, the manager of Entergy's Michoud Power Plant. According to an interview at wwltv.com, "there were waves up on top of that, that were probably 15 to 18 foot on top of what you saw from the hurricane protection levee that was out there," McClosky said. Mike Collins of Austin, Texas has put together a nice in-depth description of this photo, which was judged as being authentic on the hoax debunking web site snopes.com.
The storm surge is created by wind, waves, and low pressure
There are three mechanisms that contribute to the storm surge:
The storm surge depends greatly upon the size and intensity of a hurricane, the angle that it approaches the shore at, how deep the water is close to shore (the slope of the seabed at the coastline), and how fast the hurricane is moving. This is discussed in much more detail in our web pages, A detailed view of the storm surge: comparing Katrina to Camille, and General characteristics of storm surges.
Figure 2. Depiction of a fifteen foot hurricane storm surge occurring at high tide of two feet about mean sea level, creating a seventeen foot storm tide. Note that there are 10-foot waves on top of the 17-foot storm tide, so the external high water mark (HWM) left on the outside of structures by this hurricane could be 27 feet or higher.

Definitions: storm tide, storm surge, high water mark
The storm surge is how high above current sea level the ocean water gets. The number we are most interested in regarding storm surge is how many feet above mean sea level (MSL) inundation will occur. This number is the storm tide, not the storm surge. The storm tide is the height of the storm surge above mean sea level (MSL), corrected for the tide. For example, in a location where high tide is two feet higher than mean sea level, and low tide is two feet lower than mean sea level, a 15-foot storm surge would cause a 17-foot storm tide if the hurricane hit at high tide or a 13-foot storm tide at low tide. Keep in mind that on top of the storm surge will be large waves capable of causing severe flooding and battering damage, and these waves are not included in storm surge forecasts. The waves on top of the storm tide break when they reach shallow water, and create an external high water mark (HWM) on structures. The high water mark can be much higher than the storm surge or storm tide. For example, the maximum storm surge of Hurricane Katrina was 27.8 feet in Pass Christian, MS (measured inside a building where waves couldn't reach). However, the highest high water mark was much higher--34.1 feet on the outside of a building in Biloxi, MS, where a high tide of about 1 foot combined with 11-foot high waves on top of the 22-foot storm surge to create the 34.1 foot high water mark.

This was from my run last night! Right now I'm on an endorphin high and it's because I'm finally getting into a routine of running. I cannot lie, fitting it all in for me is a very hard task. I work around 55 to 60 hours a week, I try to spend time with B when he's actually home from work, since his schedule changes so often, I have friends and family that I try to see as often as possible and I do try to do my hair every day so I don't look completely homeless. I try to cook and clean as much as possible around the house and sometimes it's just a lot.
I struggle with dealing with the disappointment of skipping a run. In the past I would get really discouraged when I missed a run and would let it really derail my training. This time around I'm taking it all day by day and working my hardest to fit it in and still have a happy medium with my social life. I sometimes try to fit too much in and beat myself up over it, which isn't fair to anyone. Running is fun, it brings me happiness and allows me to clear my mind but running isn't my entire life. I need to remember balance and that missing a run isn't going to completely ruin my training. I need to remember than when I spend time at home when B, or decide to take the dogs for walk instead of going for a run, I'm not ruining my training plan, instead I'm enriching my life.
Last week I was really happy with my mileage of 22 miles for the week. It's been a long time that I've ran that much in a week. I have to get in 30 miles this week and I'm 1/3 of the way there already with 10 miles under my belt thus far.
Doing double days is difficult for me, but I know it's going to all pay off when Ragnar comes around and I will be running on tired legs, quite a few times. I also know it will help with the Dick's Pittsburgh Half two weeks after and I won't be feeling tired and hopefully my legs will be fresh! I do know that when I am feeling a bit down, I watch the #runfor videos… they always are so inspiring and I would be lying to say I don't look forward to them each week!
Monday I ran with B in the evening (he hates running) and I did a double day running 4 miles in the morning and 4 miles at night yesterday. My legs didn't feel terrible after my morning run or my evening run and with Wednesday being my planned rest day I felt pretty normal. If I had time to go for a run I would have today.
Tomorrow I have another long morning run of 7 miles and then Friday I have a shorter run, which I want to push the pace on. I want to run hard for 5 miles just to see where I'm at. Saturday I'm going to do another 8 mile long run in the morning and Sunday I will take a rest day for family activities and celebrating Easter! I would like to do a double day on Sunday, but it's just not in the cards.
I have still been foam rolling a lot, and it seems to be helping my IT Band. My confidence is finally back and I feel completely normal when I run, instead of being so worried about how my legs are going to feel afterward. It's a freeing feeling.
I'm just so happy to be pain free and able to run.

Are You Well Equipped for Severe Weather Driving Conditions?
Driving in perfect weather is hard enough, but when severe weather hits, it's important to take extra precautions. You probably already know that slowing down and increasing concentration can make a big difference. But these extra precautions for specific kinds of weather can help you get to your destination safely.
Tips For Driving in Ice or Snow
- Slow down. Bridges and overpasses freeze first, so take it slow and avoid sudden changes in speed or direction.
- Keep windows clear. Visibility is crucial, especially in bad weather. Turn on the lights and wipers and crank up the defroster, if necessary. Scrape the ice off of your windows before you leave to ensure proper visibility. Also make sure that all items are removed from the back window area. If you're still having trouble seeing, carefully pull over to a safe location well off the roadway.
- Brake cautiously. Abrupt braking can cause lock-up and loss of steering control. If you have anti-lock brakes, apply constant, firm pressure to the pedal.
- Resist the urge to "floor it." If you get stuck in snow, straighten the wheels and accelerate slowly. Avoid spinning the tires. Use sand or blocks under the drive wheels.
Tips For Driving in Rain
- Turn on wipers. Yes, it's obvious, but remember to keep them maintained. A beam wiper blade will provide more uniform contact with the glass in the rain. Wipers should be replaced every six to twelve months for optimal performance.
- Use headlights. Visibility is usually compromised in rainy conditions. Headlights can help. All states have laws requiring the use of headlights in low visibility, and many states require headlights when wipers are in use.
- Keep windows clear. The defroster or air conditioner may help keep windows and mirrors clear.
- Be patient. Take it slower than normal. Leave more room when stopping. Wet pavement may cause loss of traction and lead to sliding or hydroplaning.
- Go around. Never cross a flooded roadway, because it's tough to tell how deep the water is. Take the time to find an alternate route. The last thing you want is to get caught in a flash flood.
- Turn off cruise control. When roads are wet it is best to allow the driver to control speed and react to conditions.
Tips For Navigating in the Fog
- Turn on the low beams and fog lights. Day or night, headlights should be on and set to low beam. High beams can worsen visibility as they reflect off the fog.
- Wait it out. If you're having trouble seeing, safely pull over to the right side - well out of the traffic lane - and turn on your emergency flashers. Wait until visibility improves before continuing.
Tips For Handling Your Vehicle in High Winds
- Look out. Keep an eye out for flying debris. And use extra caution near trailers, vans, or vehicles carrying lightweight cargo.
- Some cars shouldn't be driven. It's best not to drive a trailer, van, or other "high-profile" vehicle (autos with high centers of gravity like SUVs and trucks) in high winds.
Severe Weather Driving Tips
- Turn on headlights and wipers.
- Listen to the radio. Tune into a local weather station for storm and traffic updates.
- Never try to outrun a tornado. Get out of the car and find shelter. If you can't reach a safe structure, lie down in a ditch or low area. Stay face down to protect yourself from flying debris, and cover the back of your head and neck with your hands. Stay alert for flash floods.
- Don't wait. Leave low-lying areas and move inland.
Driving In All Types of Weather
- Buckle up. Every trip, every time.
- Focus on your destination and avoid distractions.
- Emergency Kit. Pack and store an emergency kit in your trunk or cargo area with items you could use in the event of a roadside situation.
- Recalls. Check to be sure there are no safety recalls on your vehicle.
Special Tips for Commercial Drivers
- Watch out for Rollovers. Due to their large surface area and high center of gravity, commercial vehicles can be highly susceptible to rolling over in high winds. Be sure to assess safety and weather conditions before you get on the road.
- Severe Winds. Due to trucks feeling greater impact in high winds, they possess sufficient risk of winds veering them out of their lane of travel in severe weather.
- Lost or Damaged Cargo. If your cargo becomes lost or damaged in severe weather, stop and pull off the road. Contact police to warn and divert traffic to lanes without debris. Remove debris from road, as long as you can do it safely - or wait for police. Place flares near vehicle to warn upcoming vehicles.
These tips may help ease some anxiety on the road during all kinds of weather. However, the unexpected can still happen. Learn more about how State Farm® can help after a crash.

So you want to go out and have a good time. It has been a long week and you're looking forward to relaxing. Drinks with your friends at the local bar, dinner and a movie or maybe a ball game… Sounds good!
The designated driver is a great way to be safe when you are out and having drinks. The person who is the designated driver swears off alcohol for the event and promises to get everyone home safely. Sounds simple and easy, right? Sure, as long as the designated driver has a plan, along with the rest of the group.
First and most important, the designated driver cannot just be whoever is the least drunk! Many people are probably guilty of having "just one glass of wine or a beer" before getting behind the wheel. Depending on a number of factors, that one drink could be 'one too many'! So make the decision on who will be the designated driver before going out, and then stick to the plan. Take turns being the designated driver on different occasions, so it is not always one person who is responsible.
It is important that the designated driver gets possession of the car keys first, before going out. This way, the designated driver won't have to get them later possibly under uncomfortable circumstances. The designated driver gets the keys first to ensure he or she is the only one equipped to drive.
The designated driver makes a commitment to stay sober for the duration. If you have a large group of people you may need to have more than one designated driver. As always, if you know you will be drinking, you want to make a plan and stick to it. Where you are going, who else is going, and how you getting there are all things to consider before heading out.
Having a designated driver doesn't mean you can go crazy and become so intoxicated you are unable to think straight. If you're totally out of control there is a very good chance you will end up in some kind of trouble that your designated driver cannot protect you from!! So play it safe and give yourself a limit on how much you are drinking too. Make sure you thank your designated driver while you're at it. Maybe paying for the gas or buying dinner, for example. It's a small amount to pay compared to the cost and embarrassment of a DUI or worse, the cost of a life.
The best two ways to avoid a DUI are to either not drink or not drive. So let someone else do the driving.
A DUI is a Costly Mistake, then you know how just how financially painful a DUI can be. Clearly, you should avoid a DUI at all costs! Consider how much cheaper and safer it is to take a taxi, bus, or heck, even a limo. By now you realize that you could take a dozen limousine rides and not spend nearly as much as a single DUI. We have lots of tips on getting around town without driving. Our first tips involve your phone.
This creates a perfect segue to our Taxi tips…
When you're out having fun, who wants to worry about how to get home later? A designated driver service provides you with a responsible, sober driver to chauffeur you and your friends to your destination without the worry of operating a vehicle while under the influence. THE WHISKEY COMPANY will provide an environment that supports safe and responsible alcohol consumption. Also, THE WHISKEY COMPANY has established the use of a designated driver program that will assist those patrons that cannot drive because of alcohol consummation. The program will include the services of Uber, local taxi, service, and the use of National Directory of Designated Driver Services (herein "NDDDS"). A list of services providers below with numbers can be used and or provided to patrons at any time:
Dryver Driving Service – 1-(877) 823-6933 – https://www.dryver.com/
iDrive Your Car – 1-(888) 888-7897 – https://idriveyourcar.com/
Finest Chauffeurs – 1- (646) 387-2728 – http://www.finestchauffeurs.com/
The Use of cell phone electronic applications will also be a means to help with the THE WHISKEY COMPANY designated driver program. Many companies now offer a location-based app that makes hiring a designated driver easy. This type of service is generally used through the use of cell phone technology. This designated driver service will also be provided to patrons. THE WHISKEY COMPANY, will when required, will participate in these services and pay service provider, whom will assist patron(s) by driving them to their destination. When possible THE WHISKEY COMPANY will attempt to collect patron's information and add it to the nightly activities log. Below are some resources:
Uber is a technology platform, which smartphone apps connect driver-partners and riders in cities where Uber operates, use your rider app to request a ride. When a nearby driver-partner accepts your request, your app displays an estimated time of arrival for the driver-partner heading to your pickup location. Your app notifies you when the driver-partner is about to arrive.
One way Shofer – Our Shofers can meet you at a specific location and drive you home. Rent-a-Shofer – Have a Shofer meet you at your home and drive you around in your car.
