widestmedia necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 276 diseños de 34 diseñadores freelance.
We are a media company that acquire premium domains to develop them into super brands, both online and offline.
We are not in the business of rolling out minisites that will just sit in the background, waiting for a handful of visitors.
We develop domains into brands that we take directly to the customer to sell products and services that are in very high demand, and/or not efficiently provided by anyone else.
We are now starting a brand new project that will be our biggest yet!
This new brand will be developed in a phased fashion. However we expect to rigorously promote this brand online, in print, on TV, on billboads and on radio, in almost all first world countries.
Every day thousands of people take it to the air… With so many airlines/travel booking sites to choose from/use, branding is extremely important and at its core lies logo design.
As the brand name suggests, we are targeting the travel industry, with special focus on flights.
The first phase of development will see us offering travel bookings with emphasis on flights. However we will also offer hotels, car hire and vacations.
The latter phases will see us using the ultra premium and category-killer domain Aeroplanes.com to its fullest potential by offering very complex social networking functionalities to the travel industry and aeroplane/flight fanatics.
We are aiming to become an easily recognised and preferred brand in the travel booking industry fairly soon. Our logo will become the foundation of our brand and getting this right is key.
• Must look good in colour and black & white
• Formats eps or other vector format, jpg & gif, tif, bmp
• Likely an elegant symbol/icon accompanying the name, that will be used as a favicon, and used to create a unique ID for the brand
• Elegant, Memorable, Luxury & Trustworthy + Recognizable and UNIQUE (even if when viewed small)
• Creative, amazing, professional design
• Logo must look good online, in print both small (business cards) and big (billboards)
Don't Wants
• Unprofessional work
• Comics
• Cliparts put together
Additional Information
-This is a one-word domain name. The logo should have the ".com" at the end (important).
-The word in the domain/brand name, aeroplanes (called airplanes in America) automatically suggests flying. Hence the symbol/icon in the logo should suggest flying through the use of curved shapes that resemble wings, or an eagle or even an aeroplane.
-Check out this article for some inspiration:
-Ideally, if you can, submit one concept with an aeroplane; and another that uses curved shapes that resemble a wing(s), eagle or clearly suggests flying.
- Can be Aeroplanes.com or aeroplanes.com.
Let us know any questions you might have. We will try to provide you with every information you need to create our logo.
BE AMAZING, BE CREATIVE:-) Thanks!

Skeleton slider Lizzy Yarnold wept tears of joy as she was presented with her medal after winning the nation's first gold in the Sochi winter Olympics.
The 25-year-old from Kent later admitted she had been crying before even stepping up to the podium to become Great Britain's fourth women's skeleton medallist.
She lived up to her billing as the country's strongest gold medal hope since Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean won in Sarajevo 30 years ago to the day and retained for Britain the title obtained by Amy Williams in Vancouver four years ago.
Yarnold's triumph in the Caucasus mountains above Rosa Khutor also makes her Britain's 10th ever winter Olympics champion.
"It's just me - Lizzy," said a disbelieving Yarnold after the ceremony in the Olympic Park as she admitted she had finally begun to come to terms with being an Olympic champion.
Yarnold added: "I was crying before I even went out there. I had to look again and check that my medal was really this colour. It just made it worth every second of work - a whole lifetime of work - for this moment.
"I couldn't stop crying the whole way through. I cry a lot in private but when I've got a job to do I'm very set and serious. The ceremony was a lot more nerve-racking. I didn't know what to do out there."
Her victory ceremony along with an equally overjoyed Noelle Pikus-Pace who took silver, and rising Russian bronze medallist Elena Nikitina, capped an extraordinarily steep trajectory for Yarnold, who recalled how her first skeleton run six years ago as part of a Girls4Gold talent programme left her ready to "throw up".
Last night Yarnold celebrated after her gold-clinching final run by running towards the British fans in the crowd, holding aloft the Union Flag and beaming with joy.
The Yarny Army, which includes parents Clive and Judith, sisters Katie and Charlotte, and boyfriend James Roche, who is a sled technician with the British bobsleigh team, were there to watch her moment of glory.
"I'm so, so thrilled I got myself here after five years through very hard work," she said afterwards.
"As an athlete you give up so much, but on a day like today, with a victory like today's, it's so worth it.
"I showed the world what I am capable of and I wanted to do myself justice and I really can't believe I won that.
Speaking of her family, she said: "I couldn't do it without them, I couldn't do it without the whole British skeleton team, there are so many people that are a part of my journey, so a massive thanks to them all.
"I just believed in myself, I knew I could do it if I put in the hard work and the dedication, I could do it and I have."
Yarnold - who finished 0.97secs clear of the field after four fantastic runs of around 80mph at the Sanki Sliding Centre - is the fourth consecutive British woman to claim an Olympic skeleton medal after Alex Coomber, Shelley Rudman and Williams.
A crowd, including Olympians from other sports, gathered around the big screen at the University of Bath's sports training village where British Skeleton is based to cheer the former grammar school girl on in her final two runs.
Yarnold first received an elite scholarship in 2007 for being a multi-discipline track and field athlete but got involved in skeleton by responding to an advert in 2008 for UK Sport's Girls4Gold talent identification campaign while at university.
She went on to claim her first International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (FIBT) World Cup victory on only her second career start in 2012.
Her first major result came at the 2012 World Championships in Lake Placid, placing above former Olympic medallists to claim bronze and confirming her potential in the sport.
UK Sport has pumped £ 3.4 million into the British Skeleton programme - by far the biggest sum afforded any winter sport - and created a set-up that is the envy of many alpine nations.
Yarnold also revealed last night that she was so relaxed she managed to sleep in between her final two runs down the Olympic track despite being on the cusp of Olympic glory.
She added: "I came back up the track, took my race suit and my helmet off, listened to Bombay Bicycle Club then had a nap. I don't get nervous, I know what needs to be done and I do it."
Figures from Twitter showed an explosion in Yarnold's popularity on the social media site, her number of followers rising from just over 3,500 before the Sochi Games started to over 40,500 today.

Helicopter Pilot Schools - What to Look For
Helicopter training differs from fixed wing training in several ways, but most apparent is that nearly everyone who's learning to fly helicopters wants to do so for a career. Another striking difference is that helicopter flight training costs at least two to three times as much as fixed wing training. For these reasons, many aspiring students choose to earn their private pilot license in fixed wing aircraft. However, when you're ready to sign up for helicopter pilot school, there are a few things you should watch out for. First, avoid schools that either offer you special deals to, or demand that you pay for your training up front. Often these schools go out of business without issuing refunds. Next, check out how long a school has been in business. New schools can be great, but typically, the longer an outfit has been around, the better. As with any big purchase decision, do your homework: contact multiple schools, speak with current students and flight instructors, tour the facilities and aircraft and be aware of the condition of both. We wish you good luck with your aviation goals!

Carbon Nanotubes are hexagonal in shape and are rolled into tubes. These are thin, long cylinders of carbon and were discovered in the year 1991 by S. Iijima. They are lengthy chains made of carbon which are termed to be the strongest and hardest bonds in chemistry, they are considered to be stronger than sp3 bonds which are used to hold diamonds together. They are large size molecules which come in special size and important physical properties. The reason why Carbon Nanotubes are different among others is because of the fact that they have a very broad variety of structural, electronic and thermal properties and have been developed using nanotechnology which helps in constructing devices and electronic circuits from a single type of atoms and molecules. What do we mean by the term Nano? It means 1,000 millionth of a unit. Hence when we say nanometer, we mean one thousand millionth of a meter.
In case you are an engineer and are hoping to construct something that could last for a very long period of time and could withstand everything including a Category 5 Hurricane, what is the material that is required to make such strong product? Well, you can only achieve it with the help of Carbon Nanotubes.
They have plenty of extraordinary physical properties. Carbon Nanotubes are the only chemicals that have been used to manufacture space elevators. It is considered to be more than 300 times stronger than steel. Infact, it has the ability to allow build towers and buildings hundreds of miles higher up in the air without causing any damage for years together.
In the past, researchers have tried to create cells with the help of plastic, silicon and also human hair. But now they are trying to create cells with the help of carbon Nanotubes and if this research becomes successful, we will get another effective mode of transforming light into electricity. With so many features, it is regarded that Carbon Nanotubes can be very soon seen as an alternative energy source on the priority list. These are not recent discoveries and were discovered several years ago. It has been also proved that it can be used in the construction of buildings, automobiles, airplanes and also soft balls. Though it is considered to be 300 times stronger than steel, yet it is lighter and stronger and even capable of handling a variety of things which cannot be handled by other metals.

When it comes to the films, I wouldn't call myself much of a James Bond enthusiast. However, when GoldenEye hit the N64 back in 1997, it not only kidnapped roughly 12 months of my life, but also effectively changed the entire gaming industry.
For those of you who might not remember, there was a time when first-person shooters only existed on the PC. Many gamers thought that shooters would be cumbersome and frustrating on a control pad (an opinion which still persists among a pretty large chunk of PC gamers), but GoldenEye changed all of that. The critical response was overwhelmingly positive. Players loved the zoomable sniper rifles, split-screen deathmatch, and Oddjob, of course. Console gamers finally had an outlet for all of their multiplayer deathmatch needs.
But a lot has changed since 1997, and people are no longer impressed by zoomable sniper rifles and split-screen deathmatch. Actually, it almost seems risky on Activision's part to revive one of the most beloved games in history if the revision is going to be merely adequate. And even though the single-player campaign is extremely entertaining, the game often delivers heavy doses of adequacy.
Before I plugged GoldenEye 007: Reloaded into my Xbox 360, I fired up a copy of the original N64 title, just to get my bearings. The controls were clunky, the textures looked ridiculous, and the NPCs barely resembled human beings. But if it sounds like I'm being negative, I'm not. Obviously, all of these things were technological marvels on release but, going back in time is impossible for a reason; it's never quite as great as you remember. However, the nostalgia was palpable, and I couldn't help but realize something: Activision wouldn't be releasing a game based on a 16-year-old movie unless the title had some type of nostalgic draw. And it definitely does. But is nostalgia enough of a foundation for a truly great game to be built on? After a couple of evil Russians finally killed me, I powered down the antique console and fired up my Xbox 360 to answer that question.
Anyone who's familiar with the original will definitely notice the similarities. Obviously, the graphical updates are staggering, but it does manage to find its roots firmly planted in the original. (Remember shooting that guard on the toilet?). The dam sequence, which opens the game, should feel especially familiar, even though it has been updated with a swanky new car chase and a few well-placed explosions. The whole thing is more Quantum of Solace than Dr. No, which is probably a good thing.
However, don't expect to ride the nostalgia train all the way through the single-player campaign. In fact, be prepared to get off fairly quickly. Even though Reloaded tips its hat to the source material quite frequently, the entire campaign has been completely reworked (unless you played last year's Wii release. In which case, it's exactly the same).
For instance, Pierce Brosnan has now been upgraded to a high definition rendition of Daniel Craig. In order to effectively pilot Craig through the maze of vents, Russians, and bullets, players must choose the appropriate mixture of stealthiness and brute force.
Actually, this is one of the things that sets GoldenEye 007: Reloaded apart from many of the other games in its genre: the ability to play the game how you'd like. If you're type of player who prefers Splinter Cell to Modern Warfare, Reloaded encourages you to slyly sneak your tuxedoed ass around almost every single level. But if you're the type of player who has those preferences reversed, feel free to grab an automatic rifle and start running at the nearest group of enemy soldiers. Either way, you'll probably be fine.
The reason that you'll be fine has a lot to do with Reloaded's unfortunate A.I. The NPCs are remarkably stupid, which actually adds a bit of nostalgic authenticity but doesn't do much for the gameplay. Before you enter a room, soldiers walk in a predictable loop; when they find you, they run directly at you only to stop firing when they finally reach you; and the ones who actually hide do so in a way that exposes the majority of their bodies. It often feels like an antique run-and-gun shooter.

Contract awarded in big I-40/440 'Crawleigh' project
Crews plan to leave 3 lanes open during 11-mile rebuild
Two firms have won contracts from the N.C. Department of Transportation to rebuild the southern portion of Interstate 40/440 around Raleigh.
The department announced Tuesday the team of Granite Construction Company and RS&H Architects-Engineers-Planners Inc. won contracts. NCDOT engineers estimated the project would cost $193,428,882. Granite/RS&H had the lowest bid of $130,129,000.
The project requires rebuilding 11.5 miles from west of Jones Franklin Road in Cary to north of U.S. 64/264 in Raleigh. The road is more than 30 years old, and is crumbling because of a chemical reaction between the rock and the cement.
Officials will work to leave three lanes open in each direction on the I-40 portion of the project, instead of two. That's expected to greatly reduce traffic backups in and around the project area.

If you fit a new/larger carburettor you have to make sure that you also use the right intake manifold to match. We therefore stock a wide range of intake manifolds for the DELL'ORTO SHB standard carburettor (for small frames with disc valves) that have an outlet of 16-24mm. Be careful when making your order, however, as on intake manifolds with the same outlet it is not only the curvature of the manifolds that are different on the different models, but also the diameter of the carburettor connection and its attachment with two or three (as on the PKXL series smallframes) holes/stud bolts. For perfect functioning it is important to choose an intake manifold which has suitable terminal connections both to the carburettor and to the engine. We therefore itemise the measurements of the carburettor and intake manifolds and the corresponding models to specific detail.
Conclusion: Every Jack has his Jill and every carburettor its matching intake manifold.
SIP-TIP: order the intake manifold/engine gasket (e.g. part no 78543000), intake manifold cover (e.g. 16mm for SHB16 part no 11000300) and air bellow (e.g. art no. 71813000) at the same time.
SIP community user kolbenfresser on part no 21500040:
"Fine. Has a really optimum fit. Including with the adjacent parts. Highly recommended. Especially in terms of the price/performance."

A prototype green modular classroom is being built under an agreement with Portland State University, which the partners hope will be a model for healthy, energy efficient portable classrooms that address overcrowding.
Governor John Kitzhaber, who designated the effort an Oregon Solutions project last year, says "I'm pleased that starting this fall, students in the Pacific Northwest will benefit from improved learning environments that are built right here in Oregon."
The classroom, known as Smart Academic Green Environment (SAGE) is designed to use half the energy of a typical modular, increase the building's portability and improve indoor air quality.
The portable classroom – basically a stand-alone small structure that can moved – features double the number of windows; a heat recovery system that reduces or eliminates the need for heating, ventilation and air conditioning; increased interior airflow; and a steel floor, eliminating the need to pour a concrete foundation.
It costs 15-20% more than a typical portable classroom, but will cost less over time because of easier portability, lower energy use and decreased absenteeism.
"This will be the healthiest affordable modular classroom in America," says Margarette Leite, an architecture professor at Portland State, who initiated the project in 2009 with her husband and fellow architecture professor Sergio Palleroni in response to the quality of portables in their children's schools.
The design was completed this spring by a team including the Department of Architecture and Green Building Lab at Portland State, Oregon Solutions, the Institute for Sustainable Solutions, American Institute of Architects, local portable manufacturer Blazer Industries, State of Oregon Building Codes Division, Portland Public Schools, and Energy Trust of Oregon, among others.
Blazer will build the first two classrooms this summer using donated materials and labor.
Two large national distributors of mobile buildings have committed to purchase a prototype. M Space of Park City, Utah, will display their unit at the entrance to the Greenbuild 2012 conference in San Francisco this November. This unit will eventually make its home in Portland so the team can study the building's performance while in use as a classroom.
The second classroom is being purchased by Pacific Mobile and will be installed at a school in Chehalis, Wash., where the company is based.

Foundation 2025
Follow us:
Montserrat lost most of its heritage during the Napoleonic Wars. However, since the
Monastery was restored in 1844, the museum has formed a valuable collection of artistic works.
Private donations, from the artists themselves, and the sensitivity of the monks have made
this possible.
The Museum is divided into different sections organised in an instructive way. Guided tours are
The arqueology of the Bible lands is represented by an important collection of
pieces connected to countries in the Bible (Mesopotamia, Egypt, Cyprus and
Palestine). The monk Bonaventure Ubach (who died in 1960) gathered these pieces
together and began studies of the Bible at Montserrat, which were continued by
his followers. In addition to the most important pieces which are on permanent
display, the Museum has an alternating show for visitors and scholars of its
Important pieces from Mesopotamia are the
numerous cuneiform tablets in Akkadian, Hittite and Sumerian dating from 3400 BC
to 600 BC. There is also a sizeable collection of stone cylinders, witdh their
seals, which provide evidence of the different periods of Mesopotamian history..
From Egypt, there is a collection of
ancient funerary objects including a mummy of a twenty-five years old woman from
the late period, two sarcophagi, two Canopic vases, statuettes and amulets. .
The collection of objects from Palestine
includes ceramics from a number of biblical epochs, some dating from 4000 BC;
coins, statues of Greek and Caananite gods, Roman and Byzantine glasses, an
extensive collection of lamps, etc. The collection of Cypriot ceramics is also
interesting, with the earliest pieces dating from the twentieth century.
This important collection contains old masters from the thirteenth to the
eighteenth century including works by Berruguete, Morales, el Greco, Bonfigli,
A. de Salerno, Marco Pino, Caravaggio, Luca Giordano and Tiepolo. A large number
of these paintings were acquired in Italy between 1914 and 1920 during the time
of Abbot Antoni M. Marcet. Catalan and Castillian painting is represented by
canvasses from the fifteenth and sisteenth centuries.
The Museum also has a permanent exhibition on the history of the Image of Our
Lady of Montserrat to help pilgrims and visitors understand the historical
evolution of the Image of Saint Mary that is venerated at Montserrat. This
exhibition is entiled Nigra sum meaning "I am a black woman" in reference to the
text in the book of the Song of Songs 1, 5 which says "I am black, but comely",
words which perfectly suit the Image of Our Lady of Montserrat in the physical
sense as well as in the symbolic or theological sense. The exhibition shows the
developments in the rich iconography over the course of various epochs, from the
twelfth century to 1947 when the Image was installed on the throne in the Niche.
There are pieces of sculpture, paintings (Joan A. Ricci, c. 1639; Olga
Sacharoff, 1947, and others), drawings, engravings (some from 1499), medals, etc.
A collection of 160 Byzantine and Slavonic icons.
Phos Hilaron are two Greek words which have derivations also in the Latin laguages
(phos, photos: light, photography, photocopy; hilaron: laughing, hilarius, humorous).
In fact, it is a typical song in the eastern churches where is known and sung by millions of
people in their native languages.This title wants to express the determinant role that both the icons'
light ant the ambience lights, which are golden typically Byzantine, play in this exhibition.
Gold-work is represented inthe Montserrat Museum by a collection of accessories
to the liturgy (chalices, patens, cruets, crowns, monstrances, pectoral crosses,
etc.) from the fifteenth to the twentieth century, which show the development in
techniques and artistic styles. The richly decorated crown and septre offered by
the Catalans to Our Lady in 1881 when she was proclaimed patron saint of
Catalonia are of special importance. There are also the Baroque cruets and
chalice of enamelled gold given to Montserrat by Emperor Ferdinand III of
Austria in thanks for his ictory over Gustavus Adolphus of Italy and the rock
crystal reliquary offered to Our Lady in 1605 by the duke of Mantua and Montferrat, Vicenzo de Gonzaga.
The modern painting and sculpture collection contains a representative selection
of work by Catalan artists who were working between the middle of the nineteenth
and the middle of the twentieth centuries. The initial core, which went on show
in 1982, consists of works from the Josep Sala i Ardiz Collection by artists
such as Martí Alsina, Vayreda, Gimeno, Rusiñol, Casas, Nonell, Mir, Anglada
Camarasa, Picasso and Dalí. Some years later the Xavier Busquets Collection of
French Impressionist paintings was added, with works by Monet, Sisley, Degas,
Pissarro, Rouault and Poliakoff. Works by other artists such as Singer Sargent,
Sorolla, Julio Romero de Torres and Zuloaga complete this section of the museum.
The artists represented mean that the Museum of Montserrat has one of the best
collections of Catalan Modernista and French Impressionist painting in

Fantastic work! This is my second time using their delivery service and both times the flowers and gifts were delivered on time at the right address. I am not from London so the delivery service is amazing For when Valentine's or anniversaries fall on a week day. The bouquets are always beautiful and my girlfriend loved them. The add on gifts are a great idea as well with lots of selection. The only input I have is on Valentine's the flowers were left outside on the porch until I received the email confirmation sometime later, I called and made sure they were received and the flowers were fine. I chalk this up to Valentine's being a really busy day for forest of flowers as they had lots of places to get to, or no one answered the door. I'm just happy I had a confirmation of delivery to make sure they arrived safely. This time I got a lovely text message from my girlfriend saying that the flowers are lovely. The website is easily accessible with easy drop down tabs, and very well organized. The customer service is great when I called. On google it shows that there are 3 forest of flowers but they all have the same address and they all take you to the same website. In all it has been a wonderful experience and I will definitely be using their services again in the future.

"NO!" Following the Fukushima disaster, and after a series of scandals and malfunctions at the country's nuclear plants, public opposition against nuclear energy in South Korea has dramatically increased. Last year alone, the country faced malfunctions at 16 nuclear plants. Here Samcheok villagers rally in opposition to a planned nuclear power plant in their community, 192km from Seoul. Millions of Koreans who live within the 30 kilometer radius of nuclear power plants are at risk from a nuclear accident.

The multiple needles are extremely miniaturized, are manufactured in AISI 316 stainless steel and assembled with laser welding. It is possible to spin any type of polymer, even with the most corrosive solvents and at high temperatures.
The multiple needles inserted in the electrospinning process behave exactly like a single needle, therefore making it possible to leave all the process parameters set for a single needle unchanged and only multiply the flow rate for the number of needles used.
The system features a single Luer connection, exactly like the classic single needles, from which 6 identical tips come out thus making it possible to multiply one's productivity without requiring long process setup times.
Several dimension are available on stock, but we are available to deliver custom products in a few days (different number of tip and diameters, even on the same manifolds).

While everybody seems to be focussed on the ongoing fight between dinghies and keelboats it should not be forgotten that the boards - kiteboards and windsurfers - are still in a different situation.
One of the topics during todays council meeting was the meaning of "mixed events" in kiteboarding or windsurfing, or, what kiteboarding AND windsurfing in one event could mean. For clarification: as two medals for each kiteboards and windsurfers seem to be unrealistic at the moment, there should be a way to showcase both sports at the Olympic Games, as they represent youth and media appeal probably more than any other sailing class, attracting a new each audience in addition to the coat-and-tie yachtsmen in the harbours.
Plus, both are as diverse as one could even think of, which meets the requirement of the IOC for more diversity as well as its requirement for reducing costs, as both classes would be by far the cheapest of any current Olympic equipment and thus allowing for stronger participation from developing and emerging countries.
A mixed - or "team" medal - in the boards category thus means TWO competitors from ONE country fighting for ONE medal for their team. This can either be two kiteboarders (man and woman) for one medal (and two windsurfers for one of course), or one kiteboarder and one windsurfer of the same gender, again fighting for ONE medal.
Examples of other Olympic sports incorporating such competition formats are team ski jumping, team dressage and the recently introduced team luge, amongst others.
This would strengthen the idea of nations representation rather than individuals and offer something completely new to the IOC, strenghtening the value for sailing to the Olympic Games.
More importantly, it does not force both board sports to start fighting each other - with unknown outcome - but to retain windsurfing and add a new and attractive discipline - kiteboarding - to the ISAFs portfolio.
However, it requires the selection of a slate of ten events that includes a provision of "windsurfing and/or kiteboarding" tomorrow by council - there are more than enough submissions that include this provision for every taste.

Google Apps goes loopy on booted-off Premier subs customers
Mountain View fails to cough up glitch fix
Updated This article was updated to reflect that Google subsequently reported the error had now been fixed.
Google Apps business customers who forget to renew their subscriptions are struggling to reconnect to the Premier version of the online suite because of a system error.
However, Mountain View - which is aware of the problem - is currently offering a shrug of the shoulders to some users who want to pay up their subs and get back online with their Google Apps.
We've heard from readers whose accounts were downgraded after failing to update their Premier status in time.
"It seems to be the case that the automatic downgrade is failing at some point in the process. Furthermore, logging a support request with Google has resulted in silence. I'd try phoning them but you can only do this as a Premier customer and I'm no longer one - despite wanting to be one," Reg reader James Crawshaw told us.
And there are similar complaints about this issue on Google's forum too.
Many have received a generic email from the world's largest ad broker that reads:
This message is to confirm that you did not renew your Google Apps Premier Edition service for [domain name].com. Your subscription has expired and your service has been downgraded to Google Apps Standard Edition.
Shortly, you will find your email account quotas reset from 25 GB to 7 GB. You will also lose access to some Premier Edition features including the 99.9% uptime SLA, integration APIs, and telephone support for critical issues.
If you wish to reorder Premier Edition for your domain, you can do so easily through the control panel: Log in to your control panel. Click 'Upgrade to Google Apps Premier Edition' Complete order for your desired number of accounts. Submit order and pay using Google Checkout.
If you do not wish to renew Google Apps Premier Edition, please tell us about your decision so we can learn about your experience with Google Apps.
Biz customers who missed their subs deadline might agree at this point that Google had every right to automatically downgrade their accounts until such a time that they can make good on those payments.
But here's the rub: some faithful Google Apps customers who want their Premier status reinstated aren't able to do so because of a fancy-pants "redirect loop error".
Worse still, Mountain View has confirmed it is aware of the glitch.
"This redirect issue is an known issue bug and Google Apps tech is aware of this and I have no time frame when this will be fix [sic]," wrote self-styled Google Apps "Volunteer Power Poster" LMckin51 in a thread on the Google forum.
That response followed one customer reasonably asking when the error might be repaired by Google wonks. Many have been complaining about the error for nearly two weeks, with little or no feedback from the online search giant.
"How long should I expect to wait to have this resolved? Seeing as how it appears to be a routine Google glitch that I can't do anything about, this is a LOT of downtime for me to deal with. It's stupid that this happens just as my Premier contract expires, so Google technically isn't guaranteeing my uptime. Any other ideas?" asked PaulBBlair.
The Register has repeatedly requested comment from Google on this technical cockup, but at time of writing - as seems to be increasingly the norm at Mountain View Towers these days - its flacks hadn't coughed up a statement for us. ®
According to Google on this support forum thread, the issue has now been fixed. It said:
Our technical team has fixed this issue. Please log in to your control panel at https://www.google.com/a/(insert your domain name) to follow the necessary steps to renew your Google Apps Premier subscription. If you do not wish to continue using Premier, you can also opt to downgrade to the Standard Edition. As power poster LMckin51 has noted, your data was not impacted by this suspension, just login access to the Google Apps services (Gmail, Calendar, Sites, etc.).
We apologise again for any inconvenience this may have caused.

When most kids complain about something taking too long, their father's response isn't usually as generous as pioneering an innovation that spans the next half a century. But Edwin Land, creator of Polaroid, was not your average dad.
Edwin Land was already an accomplished inventor by 1947, having created the first polarised camera filters (the same tech you find in your sunglasses) and founding Polaroid Corporation. But that year, his daughter wasn't satisfied with what he'd accomplished. Cameras were disappointing. Why'd it have to take so for film to develop? Why couldn't she see pictures now?
Edwin took his daughter's whining as motivation and got to work trying to create an answer to his daughter's frustration - creating a light-sensitive material that acted as both film and photograph. Edwin's first instant film model, the Land Model 95, debuted in 1948 and employed a peel-away film that was (thankfully) replaced by the dry format we know now in 1972. The process skipped the wet mess of a darkroom and granted almost-instant gratification to an impatient generation.

$A holding above 94c ahead of RBA meeting
The Australian dollar is holding above 94 US cents ahead of a Reserve Bank interest rate decision on Tuesday.
At 1700 AEST on Monday, the Australian dollar was trading at 94.02 US cents, down from 94.36 cents on Friday.
The RBA is widely expected to keep rates on hold at 2.5 per cent, but currency traders are waiting on the bank's accompanying statement.
ThinkForex strategist Matt Simpson said prospects for the local currency were positive.
"As long as we remain above 0.935 then near-term targets are 0.945 and 0.950, which is currently supported by a weaker greenback," Mr Simpson said.
"However recent price action suggests it will grind higher and not be as direct as traders would like."
The Australian dollar has been performing strongly since disappointing US economic data last week weakened the greenback.
Meanwhile, markets are pricing in just a two percent chance of a rate decrease on Tuesday.
"With consensus that rates will remain on hold again, markets will be more interested in the RBA's statement," Mr Simpson said.

Orphaned Baby Bunnies: Wild and Domestic
Wild Rabbits – Orphaned or Not?
Wild babies are most often not orphaned! Many people mean well when they contact HRS after discovering an "abandoned" nest of wild rabbits. Often they wish to "rehabilitate" them with some advice from others. The reality is fewer than 10% of orphaned rabbits survive a week, and the care that people attempt to provide can be illegal, unnecessary, and potentially harmful. The best thing you can do is put the bunny right back where you found him, in the general area, as the mom will only come back at night to call and find him. Leave the area. If injured, please contact a Wildlife Rehabber or rabbit vet immediately. Other Wildlife Rehabbers USA States A- M, and Wildlife Rehabbers US States N-Z and International Rehabbers. Also search for your state/country and wild rabbit rehabbers. If you find one whose eyes are open, and he appears healthy, leave him be. If picked up, go put him back outside.
I/My Dog/My Cat Found a Rabbit Nest! What Do I Do?
Rabbits hide their nests in plain view, often putting them in the open, sometimes in the middle of the lawn, as well as in brush piles and long grass. If you find a nest that has been disturbed, do all you can to restore and protect it. Do NOT bring it inside. If a dog has discovered the nest, keep your dog away from the area and reconstruct the nest with grasses. If need be, you can move the nest a few feet away where safer, even up to 5-6 feet away. A moved nest should always be covered with string in a tic tac toe pattern and monitored to be sure the mother found it and came back to the babies. She will scrabble away the surface area to feed her babies beneath her and then scrabble the earth, grass, leaves, back over the nest to hide it again so it's pretty easy to see if the string has been disturbed.
NOTE: Babies should never be put back into a nest that has been flooded with water, has bugs/ants visibly crawling in and out, or if a baby has been killed and there is blood in the nest. Use common sense. Baby bunnies who have fleas are compromised and should be immediately taken to a wildlife rehabber.
Rabbit mothers nurse their babies for approximately 5 minutes a day. Both wild and domestic mothers will be in the nest or nest box early in the morning and then again in the evening. The milk is very rich and the babies "fill up" to capacity within minutes. Mother rabbits do not "sit" on the babies to keep them warm as do some mammals and birds. They build a nest with fur and grasses which helps to keep the babies warm in between feedings. For domestic/pet rabbits, do not force a mother rabbit to sit in the nest box. You can pick up the babies and see if they are feeding by checking the size of their stomachs (should not be sunken in), the pinkness of their skin and activity level (they should not be blue in color or sluggish in movement) and the amount of time that you hear them crying (baby bunnies should be quiet most of the day….if they are crying constantly then they are not getting fed). If you come across a nest of wild bunnies, and the mother is nowhere to be seen, please DO NOT disturb them. This is normal behavior. By removing them from the nest, you are greatly reducing their chances of survival. The mom will only return at night, and not if you are watching.
If your dog disturbs a nest, or you find a wild bunny with his eyes open, please put him back if not injured. Mom will be coming back at night to call and feed him only once in the middle of the night. Do not take the bunny inside or feed him! IT IS A MATTER OF HIS/HER SURVIVAL AND UP TO US AS HUMANS TO LEAVE NATURE BE AND LET THE MOM CARE FOR HER YOUNG. We often hear of mothers moving their babies and their nests, and have seen moms come back every night for up to a week to look for her missing baby. Do not take the baby from the mom or she will be frantic. Many call or write saying, "… but it is raining, etc., " but remember, these are wild bunnies and belong out there.
I/My Dog/My Cat Destroyed a Wild Rabbit Nest! What Do I Do?
Remake the nest as best you can with grasses, hay, straw in the same place. Nests can be moved to a safer place up to 10′ away from the original site and can be reconstructed if necessary. To make a new nest, dig a shallow hole about 3″ deep and put into it as much of the original material as you can recover, including the mother's fur. Add dried grass as needed, and put the young back. Mother rabbits return to the nest to nurse only at night, staying away as much as possible so as not to attract predators. To determine if the mother is returning, create a tic-tac-toe pattern over the nest with straw, grasses or tiny twigs. Wait 24 hours to see if the twigs have been disturbed. She may be able to feed them without moving the twigs much, so double check–If the babies look healthy, are warm, then the mother is coming back. If they are cold, dehydrated, get them to a professional; do not care for them yourself. Please contact a Wildlife Rehabber or rabbit vet immediately. Other rehabbers: Wildlife Rehabbers US States A- M, and Wildlife Rehabbers US States N-Z and International Rehabbers.
How Do I Know If the Wild Baby Bunnies Need Help?
Very young wild baby bunnies with eyes closed and ears back rarely survive in captivity, even given the most expert human care; and so it is very important to determine whether they really need help. Try to assess whether the infants seem warm and healthy or cold, thin, and dehydrated. One test for dehydration is to gently pinch the loose skin at the back of the neck. If it does not spring back in one second, or stays in a "tent," the bunny is SEVERELY dehydrated and needs rehabilitation IMMEDIATELY by a professional rabbit vet or rehabber. Another test is to stroke the genital area to stimulate elimination. If the pee is brown and gritty, the mother rabbit has not been there to help the bunnies urinate. The brown, gritty urine is toxic, and the infant bunny must be cared for by a professional. Please contact a Wildlife Rehabber or rabbit vet immediately. Other rehabbers: Wildlife Rehabbers US States A- M, and Wildlife Rehabbers US States N-Z and International Rehabbers.
Older baby bunnies who are found outside of the nest may not be orphaned or in need of assistance. This is most often the case. Baby cottontails are born without fur but develop a full coat in a week. Their eyes open in 10 days, and in three to four weeks they are weaned. At this age, they may explore the world outside of the nest but return there to sleep. They are not ignored by the mother but stay with the family group until four or five weeks of age. To determine whether a bunny of this age needs assistance, first see if the bunny feels cold to the touch; perform the dehydration test. Also look for bleeding, convulsing, fly larvae, broken limbs; if any, get to a rabbit vet or emergency vet immediately. If he is just out and about, leave him be. He is discovering his world, waiting for mom to return at night when we humans are asleep. Don't assume because he is letting you pick him up, he needs help. They are prey animals, taught to freeze when a predator (or human) approaches. Leave him be!
What if the Baby Bunny is Injured?
Either call or take him to your local rabbit vet, humane society or animal shelter/animal control. Call first as often they will come pick up the baby. If after hours, contact a local emergency rabbit vet or rabbit vets found here and also here. The best thing you can do for an injured wild baby bunny is to get in touch with a skilled Wildlife Rehabber found here or Other rehabbers: Wildlife Rehabbers US States A- M, and Wildlife Rehabbers US States N-Z and International Rehabbers.
Is there anything I can do to avoid orphaning wild baby bunnies?
The harsh reality is that many of us who care about wild baby bunnies may be contributing to the suffering and death. House cats who roam outside will kill about every other time they go out. And unlike feral cats who hunt because they are hungry, and kill immediately, house cats maul and torment their prey, sometimes skinning baby bunnies alive. Cat owners need to provide managed outdoor habitats for their cats – such as windowboxes or pens. Providing a bell on your cat will help warn the wildlife if you cannot keep him inside. Keep your dogs on a leash with you if you see a rabbit nest.
Lawn chemicals can produce convulsing death in baby rabbits. According to the Poison Control Center for Animals, lawn applications that contain herbicides are not directly toxic to small animals; but they may make toxic plants more palatable to them and may make the animals sick for a few days. Products which contain insecticides, such as Dursban or Diazinion, which are added to many lawn products to control fleas or grubs in the lawn, are toxic.
The Bunny is Wild and Really Orphaned – How do I care for it?
Again, make sure you KNOW for sure the mom was killed and the bunnies are abandoned (not warm, etc.). You will not see the mom. The mom will only come back in the middle of the night to feed her babies. If the mom was killed, the best thing you can do for a wild orphaned baby bunny is to get in touch with a skilled rehabilitator. In the meantime, call your local humane society or animal control and one of these vets for a wildlife referral: Rabbit Vets and Pet Bunny Vets. A great directory of local rehabilitators can be found here and here: Wildlife Rehabbers US States A- M, and Wildlife Rehabbers US States N-Z and International Rehabbers.
How much formula should I feed a Wild Orphaned Bunny until I get him/her to a rehabber?
The following is a guideline for the daily amount to feed a TRULY orphaned wild bunny (mother was killed, etc.) Remember with wild bunnies, the mom only comes back at night to call and feed him once or so for 5 mins; please put him back for her if just found and healthy. She leaves them alone between feedings. Don't assume they are abandoned! Wild rabbits NEED a skilled wildlife rehabber. You should not feed at home or the chances of their surviving is extremely low! Most die from bloat, wrong feedings/stress. These feedings are NOT meant to take place of an actual rehabber, but for someone only who may live too far from a rehabber and is faced with a wild mother, killed, for example. All others need to call your humane society/these contacts to locate a rehabber near you: Wildlife Rehabber. Other rehabbers: Wildlife Rehabbers US States A- M, and Wildlife Rehabbers US States N-Z and International Rehabbers. It is vital!
Feeding of True Orphans Age + Amount (This WILL vary SO MUCH depending on type of rabbit. It is impossible over the Internet to see your particular rabbit, so this is only approximate.) Use KMR kitten or KMR kitten plus Goat milk, regular not low fat. Add a pinch of acidophilus (aka Probiotic) to the formula to promote healthy gut flora. Formulas vary depending on region. Avoid Esbilac and any puppy formulas! FEED TWICE A DAY ONLY for healthy babies. It may be easiest to start with a 3 cc/ml syringe or an eyedropper. Feed only with the bunny sitting UPRIGHT, and point syringe down towards bottom or side of mouth, so if too much comes out, the baby does not aspirate. At first, they may only take a few drops at one feeding until they are not stressed and used to this.
Newborn to One Week: 2 – 2+1/2 cc/ml each feeding (two feedings per day).
1-2 weeks: 5-7 cc/ml each feeding (two feedings per day). (depending on bunny..may be much LESS if smaller rabbit!) Newborn babies (if eyes closed) all need to be stimulated to urinate and defecate prior to or following feeding until their eyes open. (Except Jackrabbits do not). *See how to below.
2-3 weeks: 7-13 cc/ml each feeding (two feedings). Domestic eyes open at about 10 days of age. Start introducing them to timothy and oat hay, pellets and water (always add fresh greens for wild ones).
3-6 weeks: 13-15 cc/ml each feeding (two feedings–again, may be LESS depending on size of rabbit! A cottontail/brush bunny will take so much less!! Half this at most.) Cottontails wean and release about 3-4 weeks and jackrabbits much later (9+ weeks), whereas domestic rabbits are 6 weeks.
6 weeks-9weeks for Jackrabbits only, continue up to 9 weeks with formula, gradually changing to a dish for the warm formula, replacing the formula after 9 weeks slowly with a a dish of cup-up tiny banana or apple pieces.
Wild rabbits NEED a skilled wildlife rehabber. These feedings are NOT meant to take place of an actual rehabber, but for someone who may live too far from a rehabber and is faced with a wild mother, killed, for example. Please call your humane society or these contacts to locate a rehabber near you: Wildlife Rehabber. Other rehabbers: Wildlife Rehabbers US States A- M, and Wildlife Rehabbers US States N-Z and International Rehabbers.
*After each feeding it is important to make the bunny defecate and urinate (brush bunnies/cottontails only..if the eyes are not opened yet) to keep the intestinal and urinary system running smoothly (just UNTIL their eyes open). No need to do this for jackrabbits; they go on their own. Use a cotton ball moistened with warm water after eating, and gently stroke the anal area until the bunny starts producing stool and urine and keep stroking until the bunny stops. You are reproducing the behavior of the mother rabbit who would lick her young to stimulate them to go to the bathroom and to keep the nest clean. Handle a wild rabbit only during feedings as excessive handling can be extremely stressful/potentially fatal. Wild rabbits don't need heat if furred and healthy. Wild rabbits should not be fed at home, but get them to a professional rehabber as it IS CRITICAL for their survival and to be with their own kind. Most die from overfeeding and/or stress.
As soon as the wild bunnies' eyes are open, you may introduce them to plain alfalfa pellets, hay, such as oat hay, timothy, alfalfa and veggies such as carrot tops, Italian parsley, dandelion greens. Dandelion greens and hay (timothy and oat hay) are extremely important for wild rabbits. You can add whole oats from a feed store, and some grated carrots. The greens must be fresh, rinsed, and replaced if not eaten in a few hours. You can place them in a cup of cold water with just the tops sticking out to keep them fresher. (For a domestic rabbit baby, see section under the Domestic heading). Wild cottontail and brush bunny rabbits should be released as soon as they are eating hay and greens and are approximately 5 inches in body length and run from you. Jackrabbits (hares) are not ready until 9+ weeks. They will be small, but the longer you keep them, the more agitated and difficult to handle they will become and the less likely their chances for survival in the wild. Release ONLY at dusk or dawn. Jackrabbits will be much larger and are released after 9 weeks when ready. Make sure they get exercise daily. Jackrabbits mature much slower than the brush/cottontails and need to develop strength. If they are ready, earlier, they will let you know.
WARNING: Jackrabbits really NEED a skilled wildlife rehabber as they can run from you, throw themselves into walls to get away; many have died or severely injured themselves in captivity as they are so very wild. Please DO NOT raise them if you are not a skilled wildlife rehabber. This is vital. Noises and sounds easily frighten the jackrabbit and they are not able to be handled after 9 weeks. Often, sadly, we get reports of how a well-meaning person who tried to raise a wild rabbit, only to find it literally died of fright or got injured inside the cage. They are wild and belong with their own kind, out in the wild.
Jackrabbits really enjoy being raised together, whereas cottontails/brush bunnies may fight and do fine alone. Give them a carrier as their place of privacy (line with thick towels) with plenty of fresh hay and greens described above. Again, wild rabbits need a skilled wildlife rehabber; it is critical to their survival.
The Bunny is DOMESTIC (i.e., pet rabbit, NOT wild) and Really Orphaned – How do I care for a domestic baby?
Remember that both the domestic pet rabbit and wild bunny moms only feed their young usually once in the middle of the night. Don't assume the mom is not caring for them if you don't see her nurse them. Check their tummies to see if they are round and the babies are warm in the morning–this means she is caring for them. In the rare situation that you have an orphaned domestic bunny, such as when a domestic rabbit mom is sick or refuses to care for her young, you will need to feed the babies. Overfeeding is a leading cause of death in these youngsters which results in fatal intestinal disease.
If truly orphaned, use KMR KITTEN powder formula (can also use Meyenberg Regular Goat milk found at Safeway in the milk section or Whole Foods until you can find the KMR KITTEN formula), and follow the directions on the can. It may be easiest to start with a 3 cc/ml syringe or an eyedropper. Some use pet nurser nipples on the end of a luer lock syringe, or a teat cannula on the end of a syringe. Feed only with the bunny sitting UPRIGHT, and point syringe down towards bottom or side of mouth, so if too much comes out, the baby does not aspirate! For those who are slow to learn nursing, SC fluids may be necessary to prevent electrolyte imbalance or dehydration (check with a vet on this only!!). Domestic buns with closed eyes should be fed 2 x a day, and the number of feedings gradually decreased until they are weaned. If their eyes are still closed, you need to stimulate their bottoms with a warm moist towel after feedings to help them to pee. (Domestics are weaned about 6 weeks compared to wild bunnies who are weaned about 3-4 weeks for cottontails and 9+ weeks for jackrabbits). Bloat is commonly associated with too frequent feedings and too much at one time.
Feeding Amounts for DOMESTIC/PET Orphaned babies*: Feed twice a day up to these amounts: Newborn– 2.5 cc/ml each feeding. One week old: 6-7 cc/ml each feeding. Two weeks old: 12-13 cc/ml each feeding. Three weeks to six weeks: Up to 15 cc/ml each feeding (a.m. and p.m.). Note this is for DOMESTIC, NOT WILD bunnies. Each bunny varies. If this is a smaller rabbit, he will consume much less. Do NOT overfeed! Contact an HRS contact, rabbit vet, to be sure.
*After each feeding it is important to make the bunny defecate and urinate (if the eyes are not opened yet) to keep the intestinal tract and urinary system running smoothly (only UNTIL their eyes are open). Use a cotton ball moistened with warm water and gently stroke the anal area until the bunny starts producing stool and urine and keep stroking until the bunny stops. You are reproducing the behavior of the mother rabbit who would lick her young to stimulate them to go to the bathroom and to keep the nest clean.
Provide a soft nest area in a box with clean towels, and cover the babies so it is dark until their eyes are open. Do NOT provide extra heat if the room temperature is at least 65 to 70 degrees F because excessive heat can be fatal. If the room is cooler, then you may place a heating pad on a low setting under no more than HALF of the nest so the bunny can move to a cooler area if it gets too warm, and be sure there is no way the mother rabbit can get to or chew the electrical cord!
For domestic rabbits, if you have a healthy adult rabbit at home and you can collect cecotropes (the soft, chain-like droppings that the rabbit usually eats) then these can be mixed with the KMR to give the baby bunny normal bacteria for its intestinal tract. Only one cecotrope per day for 4-5 days is needed. This is particularly important for rabbits under one week of age. Also good is to sprinkle acidophilus powder, also called "Probiotic" from human capsules in the milk a little each time for healthy flora for both wild and domestic bunnies.
As soon as their eyes are open, you may introduce the bunnies to plain alfalfa pellets, hay, such as oat hay, timothy, alfalfa. Please refer to the handout Care of Rabbits for more information on diet for domestic, pet rabbits. You may reach email@example.com for domestic/pet rabbit questions. Below is the email for wild rabbit questions: firstname.lastname@example.com (wild) (If links above did not answer your question).
(See above for wild rabbits). For all rabbits, avoid ANY regular milk, puppy formulas, etc. Use KITTEN formulas like KMR. Avoid Esbilac. Feed only upright.

Almond brittle with gingerbread spiceSunday, November 22nd, 2009
Easiest Christmas candy recipe ever and truly delicious! I made a batch while waiting for my two pound cakes (for some Trifle) to bake.
Almond brittle with gingerbread spice
(adated from a recipe that I found in a Swedish newspaper)
200 ml caster sugar
25 gram butter
1 tsp gingerbread spice
0.5 tsp cardamom
100 gram peeled shaved almonds
Put sugar and butter in a frying pan. Let melt on low-medium heat while stirring (preferably with a silicon ladle). When the mixture has become golden coloured add spices and almond. Combine carefully, the almonds will most likely cool the sugar so it will become lumpy. Just heat carefully until the mixture is runny again.
Pour the mixture over a big baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with another parchment paper and carfully roll with a rolling pin until spread thinly and evenly. Allow to cool, then break into pieces.

FALMOUTH, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts state trooper reportedly driving erratically in Bourne earlier this week has pleaded not guilty to drunken driving charges.
Robert Gilmore was released on personal recognizance after his arraignment Tuesday in Falmouth District Court.
The 38-year-old Gilmore, a 14-year department veteran, was on medical leave for an injured knee when he was pulled over Monday in Bourne after town police received reports of an erratic driver and a woman called to say someone was trying to run her off the road.
His attorney refused comment.
A state police spokesman tells the Cape Cod Times (http://bit.ly/10eyW2C) that a hearing is scheduled for Wednesday to determine whether Gilmore will be suspended from duty.

Did you have those custom made?
Yes, all Coco mats are made to order. Cocomats.com
Hadn't ever heard of them, but I think I'll order mats for the Scirocco from them, when the time comes. Thanks!
Same here, the bunny needs new coco mats! Thanks!
Changed the crank position sensor yesterday, fairly certain it is the source of an oil that has sprung. The usual suspect the oil cooler seal is good. What annoying job, you have to remove the front motor mount to get it out.

Injen!?! Ricer!
What's that last pic of?
I believe it to be the heater and vacuum ports, no?
Yeah, just showing how it reuses all of he stock emission parts, that in particular part surprised me. And yeah, I know Injen is typically "ricer" stuff. But the quality is outstanding. Can't think of any euro brands that ever made an intake this nice for a mk3.
Now that's impressive!

mMail was created due to increasing frustration with the limitations of the built-in PHP mail() function, and the seemingly complex and obtuse installation and usage cases for other, popular-ish mail() function substitutes.
I guess what we were looking for was something that could send email in just a few lines of code, that was small, easy to use, supported some small features (like inline attachment zipping) with just a few parameter settings or two, and a good range of sending formats (text, html) with support for embedded graphics (like the email stationary in Outlook Express).
We also wanted to overcome the dependency on the mail() function's lack of SMTP AUTH and non-existent support for secure SMTP sessions (i.e. ssl and tls).
The end result is mMail which allows you to:
Installation of mMail is simple. Just include it:
In your PHP script and create as many instances of the mMail object as you need (you need to configure each one, of course).
Take a look at the included sample php scripts to get an idea how to use and configure the mMail object.
This PHP class has been tested extensively on PHP5.2.5, and should have no problems working with that and better.
Internally, the only external "requirements" are the PHP Tidy class (http://sg2.php.net/tidy) and the PHP ZipArchive class (http://sg2.php.net/zip). In both cases, should the classes be unavailable mMail will switch to passthru mode, gracefully disabling the affected feature(s), put a warning in the error log and leave the affected data unprocessed (i.e. the mail should still get sent).
As the distributable version of the class is encoded and encrypted using the IonCube Encoder you will also need to add the IonCube Loader to your extensions by editing your php.ini file. You can get the instructions and download the necessary binaries here:
mMail is provided to the PHP community at large for no cost, but it did take time and effort to build and continues to take time and effort to enhance and fix. If you really find it useful or have really benefitted from using it, or you just want to show appreciation please donate USD5.00 to firstname.lastname@example.com with a nice note on how it's helping you. It's a real vote of confidence and encouragement :).

Coconut vanilla milkshakeSaturday, October 8th, 2011
According to our weekly menu we were supposed to buy take out yesterday. But my husband came home and said that he wanted to make us burgers. And who am I to decline him? He made us delicious burgers with blue cheese and bacon on top. And I made my favourite guacamole from Dos Caminos in New York City. I've been there two times now, last year with Lena & Anne and the year before that with my husband. In a couple of week's I'll visit again. I just love their guacamole and Mexican street corn. Yum! Anyway, back to last night. I decided to make some coconut vanilla milkshake to go along with the burgers. I found a nice recipe in Bobby Flay's cookbook "Bobby Flay's Burgers, Fries, and Shakes", but I decided to use different proportions and quantities. The outcome was wonderful, creamy and delicious!
Coconut vanilla milkshake
(Makes two very large glasses)
250 coconut cream (this is not the same as coconut milk!)
250 ml whole milk
400 ml high quality vanilla ice cream, packed into a measuring cup (yes, ml/dl is actually used for volume too)
optional: desiccated unsweetened coconut
Combine milk and coconut cream in a blender until smooth. Add ice cream and blend until incorporated and fluffy. Pour into two large glasses and serve immediately. Optional: add some desiccated unsweetened coconut on top.

Elizabeth Suda is the founder of sustainable fashion company Article 22. Among the brand's many worthy designs are the peaceBOMB bracelets, which are made from Vietnam War-era bombs by rural artisans in a part of Laos heavily afflicted by the U.S. bombardment during the Secret War, 1964-1973. Not only are the bracelets incredibly unique, but each purchase supports income generation for artisan families in Naphia Village and helps them create sustainable businesses. A donation is also made to the community bank that funds infrastructure projects including roads, light poles, and electricity for the school and other communal areas. Suda shot some amazing footage in Laos that helps hit home the impact of this project. We spoke to the entrepreneur about what inspired peaceBOMB, the rise of sustainable fashion, what new pieces she's working on, and more…
The Fashion Spot: Can you tell us a little bit about Peace Bomb and how you came up with the idea to work with Vietnam War scrap metal?
Elizabeth Suda: I was in Ban Naphia on a textile research assignment with the RISE Project of Swiss NGO, Helvetas. The NGO had been working there to bring sustainable electricity through a hydro-powered generator. Now, they were ready to take the next step to help villagers use the new electricity in a way that would help them use their time better and even generate income. In a country where 80% of the population derives a livelihood from subsistence farming, there is little left to sell on the market to earn disposable income. Handcrafts such as textiles are one way for rural communities to generate much needed income that allows them to purchase school uniforms, gas, soap, etc.
I had heard that there was another special craft in this particular village: melting bomb metal and casting it into spoons. I was touched when I saw the artisans transforming bombs dropped by my country into spoons that are useful for their community, which eats a lot of soup!
Transfixed by their creativity and determination to turn negative to positive, I had one of those aha moments: to create a bracelet that would tell their story back home in the U.S. and the world over.
tFS: Was it an easy transition from spoons to bracelets?
ES: At first the artisans were surprised by the idea of making a bracelet. A spoon is used to eat, but a bracelet? After a few attempts they said the bracelet was too difficult to make. Then, two young metal smiths whose fathers taught them the trade figured it out. Now, a year and a half later, they are always motivated to try new things. Before, they were reluctant to take risks and try new things if they weren't sure it would sell.
tFS: What have been some of the biggest hurdles in bringing Peace Bomb to market?
ES: Telling a complex story succinctly. Laos, the most heavily bombed country in history, is also one of the poorest in SE Asia. By buying back the bombs, consumers help develop the local economy and raise funds to clear unexploded bombs from their farms and fields.
For each peacebomb bracelet sold, ARTICLE 22:
- Pays artisans 4x the local market rate.
- Donates to the village development fund that pays for electricity in communal areas and gives micro loans to poor families.
- Donates the equivalent of the cost of clearing three square meters of bomb-infested land.
tFS: This process must be very rewarding. Can you tell us about anything particularly memorable that has happened in your work with the local artisans?
Seeing the impact of additional funds on artisan families. One of our artisans was in a motorbike accident and because of the extra income that his metal craft generates he was able to pay for his hospital stay and medication. Disposable income gives people freedom and in changes lives.
tFS: You shot some amazing footage while in Laos. How did the experience impact your approach to your fashion business?
ES: For ARTICLE 22, the jewelry is the story and the story is the jewelry. The peaceBOMB bracelet is about bringing the bombs full circle—connecting a war torn past, with the present conditions of an underdeveloped yet culturally rich population, with a future filled with potential. The film and bracelet give the artisans a way to tell the story and give consumers a way to join the artisans, take action, and make a difference. It is about trade not aid.
tFS: You were able to generate the funds needed to shoot the film in just 40 days. Any secrets?
ES: We worked with London-based, Big Balls Films, to crowd source the funds to make the film on Kickstarter.com. We presented a fundraising teaser film about this village craft. One hundred family, friends, and complete strangers were moved to pledge funds to support the making of this film. In return, we sent them postcards from Laos and peaceBOMB bracelets with thanks.
tFS: Peace Bomb is part of your sustainable fashion company, Article 22. Where did that name come from?
ES: ARTICLE 22 is the 22nd article of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was passed in 1948 and provides inspiration for the work that we do.
tFS: Have you always been interested in design and eco-friendly design in particular?
ES: I studied history and art history. I loved discovering the concept behind a movement or an aesthetic and how it fit in to a larger chronology. At the same time, I have always had a tendency toward creation, whether making handbags or refurbishing footstools. I like the process of transformation. A dirty little secret is my obsession with junk! It always feels like treasure. I love the process of thinking about what something can be—the actual or imagined process of transformation—old to new. The limitation of an existing, but perhaps wounded, object inspires resourcefulness and a different type of creativity than when you have any material at your disposal. It becomes about solving a problem. And then, suddenly, there is not only an object, but also a story.
tFS: Peace Bomb aside, what are some of the materials that go into making your pieces?
ES: Because artisan production methods are traditional – casting from handmade wood and ash molds – we apply sterling silver chain finishings here in NY. The shiny or oxidized silver is a complement to the muted aluminum and allows us to diversify designs.
tFS: Do you come up with the designs or do you work with the artisans to conceive them?
ES: My sister Wallis, a designer and textile artist, and I develop the prototypes and the artisans cast them. The artisans are getting very creative and bring ideas about different polishing and production techniques. We work in collaboration and usually within the limits of their handmade wood and ash molds.
tFS: There has been such a rise in sustainable fashion brands – what do you attribute that to?
ES: Consumers are beginning to think more about how goods are made. They realize that their dollars can make a difference—that what they wear cannot only look good, but also represent that difference. Basically, consumers are more curious. They're asking questions, which is the only way to create change.
tFS: Can you tell us about some of the new designs you have launching this month?
It's all about the design. If the form and function don't translate to the product, it almost doesn't matter how compelling the story. Design and story must work together.
I'm still in love with the first design—the simple bangle bracelet that brings the bombs full circle. It's the physical manifestation of buying back the bombs. Because the bangle is so solid, we began to engrave it with the story:
Other bangles from the engraved collection proclaim on the exterior: IheartPEACE and NYheartsPEACE. The heartPEACE Collection will grow as many new locations are added throughout the year.
Two new made-to-order bangles are inspired by traditional peace symbols: the iconic peace sign and peace ribbons. Hand cast in New York, the sterling silver finishings are oxidized and then wrapped around the peaceBOMB bangle. Also new is the identification tag-inspired Tag Wrap Bracelet, which comes with two interchangeable leather cords and a peaceBOMB tag. Great unisex style to layer with bangles and other wraps.
Necklaces are completely new territory for us. Our iconic ARTICLE 22 peacebomb tag is built into the closure of each design. The Story Charm Necklace tells the story from bomb to spoon. The minimalist Tribal Triangle and Bar Tag necklaces are a modern interpretation of indigenous aesthetic inspired in part by village weaving. The sculptural bomb shard necklace is the only piece 100% sterling silver and made in NY. It is cast from a piece of ordnance that was removed by expert bomb technicians from the ground.

Starbucks To Step-up Non-Coffee Sales
Posted by TheShot on 10 Jul 2006 | Tagged as: Consumer Trends, Starbucks
Starbucks, the chain formerly known as "Starbucks Coffee" that was also once known as a coffee company, is apparently seeking to continue its evolution towards a general retailer: All Headline News – Starbucks To Step-up Non-Coffee Sales – July 10, 2006.
Starbucks is bulking up its sales team to offer more merchandise for the upcoming holiday season. I suppose if I am going to get my oil change there, I may as well purchase my car parts from them too.

[…] As the number of specialty coffee shops tripled over the past decade, cafés and coffeehouses have become a magnet for today's youth in a way we haven't seen since the invention of PacMan. Starbucks' day care must be just around the corner. OK, the Philadelphia Inquirer did not print that part, but they did print this: KRT Wire | 11/21/2006 | Coffee is the brew of a new crew of youngsters. […]
