After a seven-year 'break' designing racing motorbikes for KTM, Cesar Rojo burst back onto the mountain bike scene this year with the launch of his first downhill bike and his return to the World Cup start list.
The chilled-out Catalan, who made his name on Martin Whiteley's world-beating Global Racing team alongside the likes of Greg Minnaar and Matti Lehikoinen, took time out from his busy schedule to show us his latest creation, the Mondraker Summum.
"I raced for Global for two years and my best finish was sixth at Les Gets, in my last race!" He laughs. "Seeing Fabien (Barel) on top of the podium in
The Summum is, like its creator; pretty remarkable. The machine sitting in front of us is Cesar's own ride and the culmination of nearly three years' work. He contested four World Cups aboard this very bike this year and his new-found privateer status had a big influence on the final production bike.
Mondraker's Summum looks to be one of the must-have downhill bikes of 2010
"From the start, I was building this bike around exactly what I wanted both as a racer and as a customer," he says. "Coming back to racing as a privateer gave me a whole new insight into what I'd want from a bike.
"I wanted adjustability to be at the heart of the bike. For factory racers, everything is custom-made but every customer is different. This is a race bike first and foremost, and everyone should be able to set it up perfectly for them.
"The amount of adjustability on our bike means you can pick and choose geometry from your previous favourite bikes or try out new setups without having to buy a whole new bike."
The Summum is typical of the 'new school' of downhill bike thinking. It's extremely light, low and visibly slack. "We set the benchmark at 65 degrees and supply the bike with two sets of adjuster cups giving +/-1 degree and +/-2 degrees," Cesar says.
The back end is similarly adjustable, offering four different chainstay lengths courtesy of some neat interchangeable CNC-machined plates.
"I always believed that longer chainstays were better for riding position and allow more grip on the front end but Fabien was always riding very short ones," Cesar says. "He tried the longer ones at
Team rider Fabien Barel piloting his Summum to victory at this year's Andorra World Cup
Barel's input into the bike's development has been key, and barring some lighter weight tubing, his frame is stock. "Fabien had a lot of input into the geometry. We started the season with a base setting that he liked and then altered it as the season went on," Cesar says.
"The best thing about working with him is that he's really open-minded. Of course he knows how he likes a bike to be set up, but he's willing to give your ideas a try. We spent two weeks at his tracks in the pre-season just working on the bike and trying out new things."
Rojo's enthusiasm for the Summum is infectious; it's clear how much of himself has been poured into it. The bike bristles with little tweaks and details gleaned from years of racing.
The head tube is super-low to help get the rider's weight over that raked out front, the cable routing is internal and the Zero suspension system is a work of art.
"I'd always loved floating shock systems and they'd been used in motorbikes for years," Cesar says. "Strength-wise we were able to control more of the forces on the frame and eliminate a lot of the shock hardware downhill bikes tend to accumulate. The Dune was the first bike we launched the Zero system on, and we're looking to expand its use across the range for 2010."
Rojo drew upon his experiences as a privateer racer while designing the Summum
As with most designers, Rojo is a perfectionist and even as dealers start clearing space for the arrival of the first Summums he's already thinking of ways to eke even more speed from the bike.
"At some stage in the future I'd love to make a stripped down race-only model and really try to push the envelope with how quick we can make this platform," he says. "At the minute, though, I think it offers the best combination of strength and weight.
"Mondraker aren't a huge company so we have to offer something more to the customer, hence the adjustability and the weight. It's lighter than a lot of other frames out there but it's not risky; we've never compromised on strength."
Look out for a full review of the Mondraker Summum in Mountain Biking UK magazine soon. If it's half as special as we get the impression it will be, it'll be one hell of a bike.

Demoted to desk work in the pawnshop unit for refusing to be less than entirely aggressive in a politically-connected case, Lester Freamon languished for 13 years in oblivion and developed a sideline making dollhouse miniatures to bide the time. More than a decade later, when knowledge of his original sin had all but disappeared within the department, the bosses shifted Freamon into a special detail with a couple of other aging detectives, thinking him merely deadwood. Instead, Freamon began demonstrating the skills of a consummate investigator, manning the wiretaps for both the Barksdale and Sobotka investigations, assessing the flood of information and remaining steadfast to the mantra that all the pieces matter.
He is relentless when it comes to chasing leads - property, money, paper, wiretaps, cell phones, players - and he's an excellent mentor for younger detectives who heed his advice. When Freamon's storm of subpoenas for the investigation of Sen. R. Clayton "Clay" Davis drew unappreciative eyes toward the department, Deputy Commissioner for Operations William A. Rawls offered Lester the choice between his career case and his colleagues' careers. When Freamon agreed to back off, Rawls decided to put the detective's talent to work in the homicide unit, but Colonel Cedric Daniels' newfound clout eventually reinstalled Freamon at Major Crimes during the Marlo Stanfield investigation.

Jerk Chicken Nachos from 'Ultimate Nachos'
Get the Recipes
Nacho Generator
Build the ultimate custom recipe.
Of the many unique recipes in Lee Frank and Rachel Anderson's new cookbook, Ultimate Nachos, the sweet-and-spicy jerk chicken nachos stood out as a must-try.
As any spice-fiend knows, jerk marinade is a potent blend of scotch bonnet peppers, allspice, scallions, lime, thyme, and a plethora of other spices. The meat, most often chicken, is grilled to add a serious layer of smoke to the flavor profile. Adding cheese and salsa to build nachos is therefore a balancing act, and Frank and Anderson do it with ease. Monterey Jack is a wise choice for its mild meltability, and the addition of sweet mango salsa balances the heat from the chicken. The more traditional toppings, pico de gallo and guacamole, round out the nachos for a final layer of freshness.
Why I picked this recipe: I can't help but crave the numbing spice of good jerk chicken. Why not put it on nachos?
What worked: Between the spicy chicken, sweet mango, melty jack cheese, pico, and guac, there's a lot going on here. But it all works. Make these now, please.
What didn't: Cooking the chicken all the way to 165°F will leave it dried out upon second cooking. Instead, aim for 150-155°F. If that makes you squeamish, remember that it goes back in the oven for 15 minutes!
Suggested tweaks: I'd probably make this with boneless chicken thighs next time for richer meat (and because I can't get enough chicken thighs). You can also go up on peppers (or include the seeds) if you'd like spicer chicken. As written, the chicken has a mild burn but is far from overwhelming. You could also use any number of sweet fruits instead of mango in the salsa if you'd like. Pineapple or peach would be great. If you can't find scotch bonnets, you can use habaneros instead.
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of Ultimate Nachos to give away this week.

First Credit Union of Scranton was founded in 1934 as the Scranton Postal Employees Credit Union. It was the first credit union in Scranton and one of the first in the state. The credit union later changed it's name to the Scranton Federal Employees Credit Union, and in 1997 the name was changed to First Credit Union of Scranton.
Credit unions are democratically owned and controlled institutions based on 'people helping people' principles. Credit union boards of directors are elected by members; each member has an equal vote, regardless of how much he or she has on deposit. Only members may serve as directors, and directors serve without compensation. Credit unions have no outside stockholders, so after reserves are set aside, earnings are returned to members in the form of higher dividends on savings, lower loan rates and lower cost services.
Founded on the basic democratic premise of the cooperative movement, credit unions believe that access to low-cost financial services is critical to the health and stability of ordinary citizens. In fact, nearly 80 million Americans trust that their credit union will provide the services to improve their financial well being. Credit union membership offers many benefits. Services offered range from simple savings to home equity loans to IRAs. Study after study has revealed that on average, credit unions provide the best financial offerings with fewer fees, lower rates on loans and higher rates on savings. And credit unions continually score higher than all other financial institutions in consumer satisfaction surveys. Credit unions strive to deliver the best possible service to their most important asset -- their members.

The "Old Folks Concert" was a fundraising show put together in February and March of 1891 to purchase a motor for the organ of the Second Congregational Church in Greenfield, Massachusetts. Although the show was led by one of the professional troupes that conducted Old Folks concerts throughout the country, the chorus and a few of the principle singers were locally recruited. Most of the local singers' costumes came from their own family's heirlooms, detailed in a newspaper account as "crinolines, balloon sleeves, baby waists, powdered puffs?ruffled shirts, knickerbockers, knee-buckles and shoe-buckles, wigs with queues, [and] cocked hats." The songs were from the early 19th century or earlier, and ranged from "I'm the King o'er the Land and the Sea" to "The Old Man's Head is Bald." The climax was the appearance of "George and Martha Washington," two local children dressed as the famous couple. The hall was reported to have been crowded and the concert grossed more than three hundred dollars. The idea of an "Old Folks" concert, one that mixed older music, slapstick, costumes and some history was created by "Father" Robert H. Kemp (1820-1897) of Massachusetts, who gave his first Old Folks style concert in December, 1855. The image of the older woman in the bonnet in the center of this poster was something of a trademark for the group.

Just came in from a walk and it is a frigid 27 degrees. Interesting that I saw a couple of kids playing catch. Not with a football, but with a hardball and glove. Damn, that must have stung their hands.
To me, baseball season gets underway in my mind the day after the Super Bowl.
Is it me, or does the pre-game get longer every year. The game starts at 6:30 p.m., but the pre-game began before 11 a.m.. Seriously, a pre-game that lasts twice as long at the game itself? I've always thought the NFL was a little full of itself, but more power to them if their showcase lets the networks sell the time.
I usually find some hook for a rooting interest in the game, but I don't have a dog in this fight.
On one hand, after growing up in Cleveland, it is extremely difficult to back Baltimore. Even without that variable, there's always the Ray Lewis factor. He's been one of the most self-glorifying figures in sport and it is tiresome. Dancing after the Indianapolis game and taking off his jersey after the New England game was just another example of his me-first attitude. And, by the way, the Ravens aren't in the Super Bowl because God willed it.
From his Look At Me dancing, to this new image, it is just boring. Now, I'm hearing some commentators on ESPN call him "great" and "the greatest leader in the history of team sports." What about Mickey Mantle, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, Bill Russell, Peyton Manning, Roberto Clemente, Johnny Unitas, Walt Frazier, Babe Ruth and countless others.
Lewis has been a great player, but he's not even the greatest linebacker of all time. Say hello to Lawrence Taylor and Dick Butkus. I'd even take Jack Lambert over Lewis.
My Cleveland roots aside, the Lewis story has grown boring and tiresome. The NFL is so concerned about its image, yet they continue to glorify Lewis, as if those two people were never killed and he had nothing to do with it. He's been given a free pass by virtually everybody and it is disgraceful.
I have never seen the attraction with Lewis, who is one I wish would just disappear. Of course, he'll be on TV. Maybe he'll preach at halftime.
The 49ers aren't a day at the beach, either.
Jim Harbaugh is another who I find it hard to cheer for. I don't like how he handled the Alex Smith situation and he's got a lot of chest thumpers on his team.
The NFL is making a big deal about player safety, yet Smith, who was having a good season completing 70 percent of his passes, did all the right things yet lost his job after sustaining a concussion. What kind of message does that send? Harbaugh's decision hasn't bitten him because the 49ers reached the Super Bowl. But, who is to say they wouldn't have gotten there with Smith?
Both these teams are difficult to root for outside their home areas. There's not heart grabbing hook, although Harbaugh vs. Harbaugh is a great storyline, although it doesn't have you gravitate one over the other.
For me, I'll watch the Celtics this afternoon, enjoy the Super Bowl from an objective perspective and maybe a rooting hook will emerge. If not, I'll just have some more wings.
Take care and enjoy the game.

The proposal will go for final vote before City Council Thursday
by Pete Mazzaccaro
The NBC 10 news truck in front of Chestnut Hill Hospital suggested that the Chestnut Hill Community Association's special board meeting Monday night to vote on Bowman Properties' Magarity development might be big news – a high-tension debate pitting business interests against historic character and residential comforts.
A sizable crowd of nearly 100 residents was packed into the hospital's Lea Auditorium, but the two-and-a-half-hour meeting inside was anything but tense.
After a long discussion in which both the pros and cons of Bowman Properties' plans to convert the former car dealership at 8200 Germantown Ave. into a mixed retail and residential development anchored by a 20,000-foot grocery store, the CHCA board voted unanimously (22-0) to approve the project.
The final agreement, in which the CHCA voted to endorse a bill before City Council to change the properties, was won by Bowman Properties agreeing to a Community Development Agreement and a number of concessions on design, including a slight reduction in height, a 3-foot setback off of Hartwell Lane and an agreement to make the commercial portion of the property C2, which conforms to much of the commercial zoning on Germantown Avenue.
John Landis, a member of the association's Land Use Planning and Zoning Committee and a special subcommittee that negotiated the deal with Bowman and three near-neighbor representatives, said the process that produced the agreement had been very successful, even if the committee didn't get all the concessions from Bowman it would have liked.
"This process really brought out the quality of design, " he said. "This is a very good precedent. This is a very good building. These were tough negotiations. Yet neither side misled the other. Both sides dealt with each with integrity and honesty. At the end, this agreement represents a hard and fair negotiation with all sides operating with purpose and integrity. I think the notion that you can't do business in Chestnut Hill will be reversed."
Though many congratulated the work of the subcommittee, some of its members said they would have liked to get more. Neighbor John Beckman, who served on the subcommittee, said he ultimately supported the agreement because of a "calculus of political reality."
"We were working with a deadline," he said, adding that he had heard that Bowman's managing partner Richard Snowden had called the project a "slam-dunk" when it came to votes before the CHCA and City Council. "I had no reason to disbelieve any of his assertions that this rezoning would happen. It was the best thing we could do given the political calculus. Others had different opinions."
The final agreement the CHCA voted to endorse comes down to several zoning changes to be voted on by Philadelphia City Council on Thursday, Dec. 15. The specific bill will convert to C2-commercial, the portion of property on which the market sits and will change to R10B-residential, the portion along Shawnee Street where six town homes will be built.
Those changes, according to Bowman attorney Matt McClure, were necessary for the firm to build anything on the property. He addressed charges made by opponents of the plan that the zoning bills are "spot zoning" or designed to circumnavigate the regular process. Zoning variances, he said, were not an option.
"You can't do anything [with the property] without seeking relief," he said. "Our options were to go to the courts for judicial relief or go to legislation. Large scale relief cannot be done by variance."
Some near neighbors who oppose the project addressed the board, and most had the same concern. All said they supported the principle of mixed retail and commercial for the site, but were concerned that the 60-foot tall building on the Avenue was too large and out of character for the neighborhood.
Cynthia Brey, a member of the LUPZ was among many who questioned the need for such a large building. She was also concerned that abutting neighbors were not apparently polled by Bowman, a requirement for any project that asks the CHCA for support.
"What bothers me most is the fact that there are Germantown Avenue design guidelines [that require 3-story limits and narrow storefronts]," she said. "By ignoring that, we've set a process moving."
Other questions to the CHCA board addressed a petition opposing the project signed by 1,500 residents of Chestnut Hill and Mt. Airy.
Shawnee Street resident Eric Spaeth said he was concerned that the process and the vote before the board was flawed and wondered how the CHCA could reconcile its support for the project while so many in the community are clearly not happy.
"What is it going to mean for an association when such a major portion of its constituency speaks out against a proposal, and it doesn't seem like it's being listened to?" he asked, referring to the petition. "There are 600 [names] plus or minus from Chestnut Hill and another 900 from Mt. Airy. I'm concerned about that, and I think you should be concerned about that too."
The voices of concern, however, didn't outweigh a great number of comments – some from residents and others by business people – in support of the plan.
"I want to just lend my support to the project," said Larry Goldfarb, an architect and resident of Rex Avenue.
"We don't have many planning tools in urban America," he said. "All this noise about spot zoning – zoning is planning. Who makes a plan and doesn't revisit it? It's a perfect opportunity to revisit. I think this is a project that will lend new energy to a community that needs it."

'Secret Life of Superheroes' Imagines Comic Book Heroes' Private Moments
You can't expect classic comic book heroes like Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman to act "super" all the time, can you? Even superheroes have to brush their teeth, pick their noses, scratch themselves down there, and pound back a few pints every now and then.
That's the idea behind artist Gregg Guillemin's clever new print series 'The Secret Life of Superheroes.'
You can see some of our favorite superhero private moments below (including a provocative shot of Wonder Woman reaching below the lasso), and you can view all of Guillemin's awesome and hilarious prints, which also include Spider-Man biting a burger and Catwoman picking her teeth – at Society6.

Comic 522: Is There One For XKCD Sucks?
This one just doesn't do it for me. I doubt they are real figures, and even if they are, it just makes me say "so what?" And seriously, Randall? This one isn't even a chart comic. You didn't even draw anything. At all. You just put words out there. That is what blogs are for. Comics ought to at least be visual.
There's just nothing here for me to talk about. It isn't funny. And I am pretty sure none of that information is real. (It is not available on Google Zeitgeist. Google doesn't usually release this sort of data.) And the Wasilla jokes? What happened to being apolitical, Randall?
If it's fictional it's a bad joke. If it's real he didn't do anything interesting. LAME. ALL. ROUND.
Anyway, thank you all for reading. Thomas will be taking over next week. I am excited! You should all be, too. It has been a pleasure, and all of you are awesome, generally speaking. But while Rob season is over, I will always live on in your hearts and minds. And in my blog, which I won't link to because that would just be shameless. But every time you are making out in public places, think of me.
Hugs and kisses!

Isn't "I hate this website" a reference to xkcdsucks? Maybe I'm just being hopeful here.ReplyDelete
Two (unfunny) Palin jokes in one strip is pushing it.
I think it's internally referencing Google. Google is located in Mountain View, I believe.ReplyDelete
The alt-text made me throw up a little in my mouth. I mean, hey, slash is fine but wtf? Really, Randall? There's a fine line between funny sex jokes and just random sex talk that make people laugh out of sheer shock and confusion.ReplyDelete
Good-bye, Rob, you have been good to us.
Yo Randy you've mentioned that goddam babby thing twice -- TWICE -- in the recent past. It is not funny.ReplyDelete
This is the first time I feel Randall would have to explain himself. If He'd compromised his apolitical stance for a great joke I wouldn't complain but for some cheap "Palin is stupid" jokes? I'm disappointed. Is that creepy alt text a way to keep some kind of even score between Democrats and Republicans? I have to agree with Amanda on that one.ReplyDelete
Is it a new XKCD trend to have comics with less/no art on friday? It feels that way, but pehaps it's just me.
I find it ironic how the lovers and haters of xkcd create lulz, but not xkcd itself. Look at the bottom of Encyclopedia Dramatica's List of Unfunny Things and check ED's xkcd article for lulzy xkcd (mis|dis)?information.ReplyDelete
The xkcd ED article links us to a simple, intuitive and informative website quite similar to an earlier website with simple, intuitive and informative content and a similer page of the simple, intuitive and informative kind
first, cheers to rob for doing a great job these past few weeks.ReplyDelete
second, this comic blows. you guys all covered it.
and the raptors on hoverboards in somerville - is that where munroe is? i don't get that one..
That one confuses me. I'm pretty sure Randall is in Cambridge, MA. As is the heart of nerddom in the Boston metro. I don't know why he would pick Somerville.ReplyDelete
Look, I realize the blog is under temporary management, but I still find it vaguely bothersome that both of you have criticized XKCD for visual laziness, while Carl has held up Dinosaur Comics as an exemplary comic...ReplyDelete
And with all due respect to Amanda, the alt-text is pure comedy gold.
Ah, Pat, but DC is limited because of its (what you call) "visual laziness." This is what makes DC great--it has to be funny even with these limits, and it is! If it were the same joke everyday, that'd be different. Or if it were a different non-funny joke everyday, that'd also be different. But it's still funny, and Ryan North makes his characters look different with his different comics.ReplyDelete
Make sense? XKCD is no more than text.
LOL captcha is "ennis." Brokeback Mountain, anyone? And with this slashy business going on...
Pat: I am criticizing XKCD for being visually boring more than visually lazy. The art does nothing for it. Dinosaur Comics has art which, despite all of its laziness, works /really well./ReplyDelete
Ryan North's simplicity is brilliant; Randall's simplicity works against him at every turn.
I mean, look. A comic which is literally just text is /not a comic./ A comic which is the same drawing every day? That is stretching the medium. He easily could have failed if he decided to change the artwork. Thankfully, he did not do so.
As an aside, I am a writer. I am not a very visual person, so I am very easy to please, visually speaking. If you still manage to bore me visually, you are DOING IT WRONG.

Captcha: phone. How appropriate, because Randall totally phoned it in here.ReplyDelete
Well, firstly, is it obvious, to an American, that the mention of Chicago, IL is a reference to Obama? Stop me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression that Chicago was quite a big place. And secondly, all the other things that are wrong with this comic. (Alt-text was funny, though.)
And yeah, the Dinosaur Comics obsession does get a bit much, sometimes. Because while it is funny, it is the same joke every day: basically North takes something which is unfunny and WRITES IT IN ALL CAPS AND OMITS THE FULL STOP
and it becomes funny. How on earth does that work?
google actually does release this data, via google trends.ReplyDelete
here are the actual top cities:
installing ubuntu: san francisco, ca
running for president in 2010: n/a
lincoln fan fiction: n/a
raptors on hoverboards: n/a
how is babby formed?: n/a
i hate this website: n/a
so yeah just in case this was really in any doubt, it's just a bunch of bad memes accompanied by non-jokes. the men kissing thing is true, though.
Ah, thank you for the information! Yeah, this is not funny in the least.ReplyDelete
I don't dare to brave the forums. Anyone? Are they accepting it as Gospel truth?
- DoubleBlackbirdDecember 27, 2008 at 4:51 PM
No, most of them (most of them) are being rather sensible. Although there's some pretty poor limericking goin' on goin' on in that thread.ReplyDelete
For a strip that doesn't like to be political, he sure is pushing it. Also, Palin jokes were a lot better when she was actually important. All of us were making those back in, oh, september. But it's nice that you are trying to catch up, I guess?ReplyDelete
On the alt-text here: I found it pretty gross but I must admit that "formed a more perfect union" was good.
Wooooo we are on encyclopedia dramatica. That means we're important!
I guess I am the only one who thought this comic would have been funnier if he had found actual ironic google trends? I don't know how many of them there would be, but as it is we just have "ha ha, here's what some people are really like, contrary to their well-known stereotype!"
Fun fact: top searches for "xkcd" is....cambridge, MA! Now how on earth would that make sense....
- AnonymousJanuary 1, 2009 at 9:35 PM
i see the palin jokes are getting old, but wouldn't the lincoln fan fiction refer to obama? to balance the tables out in a way?
I think if he wanted a joke that was really obscure but also much funnier, he would have made it "Doris Kearns Goodwin" fan fiction, because it felt like 90% of references to Lincoln were about how he put his rivals in his cabinet and that in turn meant everyone was quoting Goodwin's book Team of Rivals. But no, out level of depth here is just "ha ha, Obama is gay for abe lincoln!"ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 2, 2009 at 11:19 AM
point taken. but if it had sunk to palin levels, gay obama almost evens it out...ReplyDelete
though a joke about florida's nurising homes and mccain would round it out nicely.
- AnonymousMarch 24, 2009 at 3:06 PM
you are all stupid. you cant simply understand the xkcd cuz u have no sense of humors. maybe if you had a soul you could understand. but without it you have too much trouble. one day i will have babby with xkcdReplyDelete
aw crap they figured us outReplyDelete

Sliding Stay 6"
This brass sliding stay from England is the simplest stay we offer. The bar is fitted with a pivoting foot at one end and a rivet at the other. Between these obstructions slides another foot consisting of a collar pivoting on a mounting plate. Ours are machined from solid brass and beautifully finished. The most common application for these stays is to prevent a lid or flap from falling backwards. On casual study the sliding stay will seem the obvious choice for many applications where a hinged panel need restraint. Think twice before committing yourself to this type of stay as the amount of internal clearance needed is significantly greater than for a similar sized folding stay. Mounting instructions can be found in our instructional pages.
Plate: 1 3/8" x 7/16", Folded Length: 6"

About blackops2
I think libraries just need to evolve. i know of only a few libraries in my state where you can actually "check-out" ebooks. all libraries need to go to this system and provide training for the older masses who dont understand it.
also, the library is a place for more than just reading. it is a productive hangout and a place for people to do research, be alone, concentrate, cool off in the summer, etc. it is sort of like a free boys and girls club to an extent.
a bit of library reorganization and evolution is necessary and can help in bringing in a new age of libraries and their usefulness.
i like this little tid bit. the school district i work in pays starting teachers 27,000/year. yet, we require teachers to have a bachelors degree (conservatively $50,000/4 years), have special certificates, and have student teaching experience.
why? we rag on our teachers, but we aren't exactly making it easy for the most highly capable to enter the profession. I remember when the valedictorian of my class decided to go to school for elementary education. everyone was up in arms. why would this smart person use their intelligence for such a painfully low salary? sad, but true.
...not to mention how labor was organized and paid for in other countries. sorry...i had to!
you are right. because, as we know, Steve Jobs showed us just how important it is to "present" an item--not just at his presentation shows, but how he chose to package his items.

- The Structural Materials Testing Branch (SMTL) tests products that include reinforcing and prestressing steel, elastomeric bearing pads, prestress anchorage systems, seismic bearings and restrainers, steel plates and rebar coupling systems. The branch has available universal testing machines capable of tension, compression and cyclic loads of one to one million pounds force.
- Concrete Materials Testing Branch
The Aggregate Lab determines if the aggregates proposed for use in portland cement concrete on State contracts comply with the California Standard Specifications and ASTM Standards. The tests performed to determine compliance include: grading, specific gravity, absorption, sand equivalent, Los Angeles Rattler, cleanness value, durability, soundness, color, crushed particles and R-value.
The Cement Lab performs tests on the cement used in portland cement concrete to determine if they comply with the California Standard Specifications and ASTM Standards. These tests include Blaine fineness, compressive strength of mortar cubes, consistency, setting time, autoclave expansion and shrinkage of mortar bars. The Cement Lab also performs sand mortar testing for the Aggregate Lab.
The Concrete Lab produces concrete mixes that may be used to check on a Contractor's proposed design or to determine the amount of cement required to produce concrete of a specified strength. Concrete can be tested for compressive and flexural strength, modulus of elasticity, shrinkage of concrete specimens, and freeze-thaw resistance for concrete to be used in mountain areas. Fast setting materials are tested for repair and rehabilitation of concrete structures, which include the use of polyester and methacrylate resins. Additionally, the Section tests aggregate and concrete for alkali silica reactivity (ASR) as well as chlorides and the cement content of hardened concrete.
- The Corrosion Technology Branch is responsible for technologies and design practices that prevent, control or mitigate corrosion on transportation facilities.

The Community School of Cleburne County (CSOCC) held its Open House on Saturday.
The Community School of Cleburne County (CSOCC) held its Open House on Saturday. Doors were opened for the public to visit the school and learn about the mission and operations of one of the county's greatest resources. Visitors were treated to delicious food and staff members were on-hand to answer any questions about the school.
Although the school has been here decades, many people are just now truly discovering what an inspiring and important place CSOCC is for the community. Words such as "amazed" and "very impressed" were heard from visitors such as Mark Johnson of the Sugarloaf Heritage Council and Libby Jackson, wife of our own Sun-Times columnist Jerry Jackson.
County Judge Jerry Holmes was present to present the school with a $2500 donation from corporate sponsor Southwest Energy. Other gracious donors included Red River Dodge, Payton Chevrolet, Aromatique, Senator Missy Irvin, Lindsey's Rainbow Resort & Pot O' Gold Restaurant, Red Apple Inn & Restaurant, Red Apple Golf, QuickSigns of Heber Springs, Charlie Evans, Patty Elmore, Dr. Brenda Gulledge, and Judge & Mrs. Jerry Holmes.
The school was open to all visitors and the public showed up to get a glimpse of this local treasure. In addition to an open invitation to the public, the school sent personal invitations to local elected officials, doctors, and other community leaders. Of all the community leaders invited, few actually attended the open house. It is for this reason that special mention should be made of those community leaders that attended to show support for a local institution devoted to helping our disabled and challenged children. Community leaders that attended were Libby Jackson, Mark Johnson, Chris & Mrs. Foster, JP Steve Choate, Dr. Alan Sugg, Judge & Mrs. Jerry Holmes, Representative John Payton, and Economic Developer Dara Samuel.
At Springfest this weekend, the Heber Theatre will be presenting "Sagebrush Sidekicks" a western comedy by Geff Moyer to help support the Community School. Admission will be donations only and all proceeds will benefit CSOCC. The production will be at the amphitheater in Spring Park on Thurs April 25 at 7pm, Friday April 26 at 7pm, and Saturday April 27 at 4pm.
For those who missed the Open House, the Community School welcomes anyone who would like to tour the facility and learn more about the important work they do. To learn more about how you can help the Community School of Cleburne County, whether it through donations, volunteering, making referrals, or just touring the facility contact them at 501-362-0943.

I take no credit for any of this, all I've done is taken the unlimited complexity and bounds, then the one with just the complexity, and removed the parts that made the bounds Unlimited. The reason for this I think is fairly obvious. The Unlimited C&B edition at least for me was the only one that worked while the Unlimited C version just didn't do anything at all for some reason.
The Unlimited C&B edition had a bug that caused the adjustment bubbles to be over sized and in a lot of cases pretty much broken. While I understand this can't be corrected, I couldn't stand this personally and decided to find the difference between the two and fix the problem. Davo is still the owner of this mod and as stated previously, all I've done is taken the parts (literally just three lines of text) that modified the bounds out of the XML files relevant.
So far I haven't had the over sized bubbles and the editor works as it should. Hopefully this helps more then just me.

By Constance Garcia-Barrio
During a rehearsal of the Nutcracker Ballet in 2003, some Pennsylvania Ballet dancers stretched, others did "pliés," and still others beelined to the massage table of Mt. Airy resident Paul Millwood.
"There's a short time between acts, so you have to work fast," said Millwood, 51, a member of the American Massage Therapy Association and owner of Restorative Muscle Therapy. "When the principal dancer told me she wasn't hitting her arabesques, I worked on her for about 10 minutes and released restriction in the muscles surrounding the hip." When she returned to the rehearsal, she could do the position that had eluded her.
Whether Millwood works with dancers, athletes or people recovering from injuries, he relies on touch. "I don't deny the value of MRI's and CAT Scans, but palpation, the art of diagnosing by touch, is being lost," he said. "A well trained hand in assessment mode sees as if it had eyes. For example, it discerns different qualities of temperature, such as heat from inflammation or coolness from poor circulation."
Millwood graduated from the Utah College of Massage Therapy and passed the National Board Certification exam, but restoring by touch seems to have come to him as a birthright. A fourth-generation healer, he was born in Jamaica in St. Andrew Parish on the western edge of Kingston. In childhood, he worked under the tutelage of his grandmother, Adrianna Louise Millwood, a traditional Jamaican healer. "Someone in the community would refer you to her when you really needed help," he said. "You moved in for a few days, sometimes because of a physical ailment, sometimes because of a nervous breakdown. My grandmother also made protective talismans for people, and she was instrumental in bringing telephone service and electrical lines to the community. She used to say, 'I'm a well-beknownst woman.'"
Mrs. Millwood would gather herbs to make ointments and liniments, and then have Paul rub them on her patients. "This task, done hundreds of times, taught me the nuances and value of therapeutic touch," he said.
By 1971, economic opportunity had brought the four Millwood brothers, including Paul, and their parents to Germantown. He attended St. Francis of Assissi School. "My first vivid memory is of snow," he said. "On the way home from school one day my brother Calvin and I played with fresh snow with our bare hands. When I got home, my fingers were burning. For years I thought of snow as burning like fire."
St. Francis made Millwood feel welcome and provided a stepping-stone to George Washington High School. After graduating in 1979, he enlisted in the Marines, where he repaired military vehicles. He made a smooth transition to civilian life four years later working as a mechanic at Fred's Cycle Shop near Broad and Hunting Park.
Millwood not only faced the challenges of mechanics but those of life head on. He married, later divorced and reared his son, Patrick, who attended Henry School in Mt. Airy. Once Patrick was grown, Millwood entered the Utah College of Massage Therapy. The yearlong program renewed and deepened his childhood knowledge of therapeutic touch, and he enjoyed the rigorous curriculum.
The program called for more than hours of doing massage. "We got to watch med students prepare and examine bodies at the university's cadaver lab," Millwood said. "We learned the body layer by layer."
In 2002, a scant two years after graduating, Millwood had a revelation while treating a member of the United States Ski Team just before the Olympics. "He was a first-time client, and I was working on him cautiously, but he wanted aggressive stretching of his adductors, the muscles that pull the legs closed. He said, 'Please understand that I ski at speeds of more than 60 miles an hour, and if I catch an edge at that speed, only my adductors can save me.' That conversation helped me realize that high-performance athletes must address small problems fast to avoid injury," said Millwood, who likes to ski, swim, bike and play tennis and soccer. "Prevention comes first."
Some clients arrive with chronic pain, like the stellar lacrosse player had suffered a blow to the back 15 years earlier. "She lived in pain and could barely walk. I worked on her with hot compresses and an alcohol-based liniment I formulated myself. A week later, she was doing fine."
Millwood attributes his success to a gift. "I try to be a good steward of the gift of touch, to reach to the point where the body trusts my touch. Knowing anatomy and physiology is just part of good stewardship of the gift.
"When a structure is ready to be healed, it presents itself to me," said Millwood, who has worked with the New York City Ballet and at Philadelphia Sports Clubs. "It may be five or six layers deep in the body, but there's a moment when that structure comes right to the surface of the skin. I stop the session and check with the client to be sure that I'm working on the problem area."
Some people who come to Millwood hope to gain more mobility. One such man, who had knee replacements scheduled, decided to try Millwood first. "I did a detailed assessment of all of the muscles crossing his knee for this patient, who's almost 70. Some were weak or tight, and had almost no pliability. Seven sessions brought him back to 80 percent of function."
Millwood has just begun as a volunteer with Work to Ride, a nonprofit organization that provides activities centered on horsemanship for disadvantaged urban youth from ages 7 to 19. He gives massages to riders, and sometimes to horses in pain. Millwood's specialties range from Russian Sport Massage to prenatal massage, yet his success goes back to his roots. "Whenever I work," he said, "I feel my grandmother standing with me."
For more information, email firstname.lastname@example.com, visit www.ibkinetcis.com (a website that's being rebuilt) or call 215-867-9425 to learn more about the free knee care clinic the on second Saturday of the month.

- Capital One Cup
Swans ballboy won't press charges on Hazard
South Wales Police will not investigate the incident between Eden Hazard and a ballboy in the 0-0 draw on Wednesday night, after the youngster said he would not press charges.
Hazard was sent off by referee Chris Foy in the second half after he appeared to try and kick the ball from underneath a ballboy who was laid prone on the ground.
In a statement Chief Superintendent Josh Jones, of South Wales police, said: "South Wales is aware of the incident involving a ballboy at the Liberty Stadium in Swansea tonight. We are making arrangements for him to be interviewed. South Wales Police takes such matters very seriously.''
However, after the ballboy met with police at the stadium it was revealed that he would not be taking any further action.
After the match Chelsea manager Rafael Benitez said that Hazard and the ballboy had exchanged apologies in the dressing room after the match.
"I didn't see the incident from the bench, but afterwards the boy came in to talk to Hazard, and both apologised to each other," Benitez told Sky Sports.
"The boy knows he was wasting time, Hazard was frustrated because he wanted to get the ball back. They apologised, they made a mistake, and that's it. We're disappointed because we lost a player but the best thing is to move forward."

Your piercings can shrink back down after stretching them, as long as you do not stretch them too fast. If you stretch your piercing to fast you can cause a tear in your piercing that will develop scar tissue. The key to keeping a happy piercing is to stretch slowly.
Body Jewelry By The Chain Gang has Double Ended Stretching Crescents which you see to the left and are great to very slowly stretch to another gauge. It is a slow process, but you will not tear your piercing either which other then the obvious, will also help you if you should ever want to let your piercing shrink down some.
Once you have stretched the piercing out some using the Crescents or Weights, then you can use the Insertion Tapers to insert your new larger body jewelry.
Another way to help stretch safely is to use additional weight. If you like to use weights to stretch your piercings make sure you do not use a really heavy weight, because it can cause your piercing to disfigure and this will prevent it from healing back to normal.
Another thing to factor in is how big did you stretch you piercings. Most piercings that are no larger than a 0 Gauge normally do go back down as long as you did not cause any scar tissue during the stretching. This process may take a while but there is hope. Over the 00 gauge, may shrink down some, but it is unlikely that they will ever go back to where they started.
And last but no least, how old is the piercing? If it has been several years then it may not go back either. Stretching is something to take very seriously as you may have these holes that you made for the rest of your life.
My best advice is to stretch slow and do not do this "just because". Think about it just in case it is not what you want to have for the rest of your life. I always look at anything like this as if it was permanent, that way you are sure when you make your decision.
At Body Jewelry by The Chain Gang we produce some of the very finest Quality Body Piercing Jewelry and Adult Toys in the Industry. We are also always happy to help you whenever we can. Just email us. email@example.com www.TheChainGang.com

- Programme Notes
The work is scored for solo piano and an ensemble of ten players, comprising clarinet, baritone saxophone, trumpet, trombone, tuba, percussion, 3 violins and double bass. It is in two movements. The first was originally entitled Study for a Coda, and casts the pianist in the deliberately restricted role of musical director, with a semi-soloistic continuo part. The soloist is released, and claims centre stage, at the beginning of the second movement. This has two parts: firstly, a slow ciacconetta, which runs through six divisions upon a seven-bar chord sequence announced by the piano; secondly, a fast brawl in a tonality discovered by an unexpected resolution of the last cycle of the ciacconetta. The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians describes the mediaeval English dance which this section might evoke (from the French branle) as a form of round-dance: "the linked dancers. . . face inwards to the centre of an arc, or a full circle, moving sideways to the left and the right".

The State of the State and State of the Union addresses have become colossal wastes of time in the public calendar.
Neither Gov. Pat Quinn nor President Barack Obama offered any specific action steps for how to attain their objectives in speeches given this week. Both speeches sounded like campaign rhetoric. Quinn is running for re-election, and Obama hopes to get out the vote for Democratic representatives and senators this fall.
We don't mean to pick on Quinn and Obama. These types of speeches have been notably predictable for years, tending to sound like the self-appraisal portion a job performance review - "I've done a great job and here's why."
Of course, there's no shortage of opinion about these speeches, and predictably, those opinions fall along party lines. Neither the speeches nor the responses from the opposition serve any purpose, especially in an era in which the partisan divide has never been wider.
We're thankful that Quinn's speech lasted only about 40 minutes and was delivered at noon so it was easy to tune out. Obama, however, was all over prime time TV and talked so long that some newspapers missed deadlines.
The presidential speech has become a made-for-TV event that reinforces the president as celebrity more than it does provide a serious forum for our head of state. It wasn't always so.
George Washington and John Adams delivered state of the union messages to Congress, but from Thomas Jefferson to Woodrow Wilson, presidents sent written reports on the condition of the nation and their legislative agendas to Congress. Wilson resumed the Washington-Adams practice of addressing Congress in 1913.
In 1934, Franklin D. Roosevelt was the first president to use the term "state of the union." State of the Union had become generally accepted as the name of the address by 1947.
Technology changed how the message was delivered. In 1923, Calvin Coolidge's speech was the first to be broadcast on radio. In 1947, Harry S. Truman's was the first on TV. In 1997, Bill Clinton's was the first broadcast live on the Internet.
Today we have Twitter, Facebook and other social media to spread the message and compile the responses. Perhaps one day the president's message will go through social media without a corresponding TV show.
We wouldn't mind seeing a return to the written reports. Watching TV is a passive, mindless activity where the message is controlled by the images you see.
It takes a greater level of mental activity to read, digest and understand information presented in written form. It would be a better use of the public's time to use its brains more and its butts less.

He attends high school and has a close group of friends: Leah (Katherine Langford), Nick (Jorge Lendeborg Jr.) and Abby (Alexandra Shipp). But Simon has one big secret that no one knows about he is gay.
He starts writing emails to an anonymous classmate online, who is also gay. He slowly starts falling for this anonymous friend. They exchange emails on a daily basis, discussing the possibility of coming out to their parents and their close friends, but fear theyll be ridiculed by the other students.
When someone finds out his secret and threatens to reveal it, Simon feels like his world might fall apart.Based on the novel Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli.

prize draw to celebrate the first birthday (tomorrow) of the 'Genealogists for Families' project.
The main prize (a team T-shirt) was won by Kelli Taylor in Canada.
Two small consolation prizes were won by Roger Moffat (a New Zealander currently living in the USA) and Doug (also in the USA).
Congratulations to the winners, and my sincere thanks to those who took part.
~ ~ ~
Join Genealogists for Families. Together we can make a difference!
In 2011 we won an award for Best New Community Project. Join genealogists worldwide (and our relatives and friends) who have found a simple way to make a big difference.
We enable people without access to traditional banks (including many women) to expand their businesses, educate their children, save for the future and raise themselves out of poverty. Through Kiva, a non-profit organisation working with microfinance institutions, you choose a borrower to support with a loan of just $25. Similar loans by other lenders are combined until the required total is reached. As your money is repaid you can withdraw it or lend it to someone else. Money that is loaned over and over again does more good than a one-time donation. Join 'Genealogists for Families' - together we are making a difference!

Eating Well
Eating well includes making healthy food choices that taste good. Peanuts make eating well easy. Peanuts are enjoyed by all age groups and the research shows that all age groups benefit from eating them. Peanuts are a whole food that packs in a lot of nutrition into just one serving. And when used in cooking, the unique flavor of peanuts, peanut butter, and peanut oil adds depth and fulfillment in addition to quality nutrients.
Living a healthy lifestyle or trying to lose weight may seem challenging at times. Oftentimes, there is the thought that being restrictive of certain foods or of fat is the best approach. Numerous diets that incorporate peanuts, however, show that people do better on diets that don't cut out such wholesome foods or healthy fats. Eating recommendations set by different health authorities also factor in peanuts, as the benefits of consuming them are clear.
From the healthy fats, protein, and fiber in peanuts to their micronutrients and bioactive components, peanuts can help improve how you perform each day. A majority of the food pyramids that have been developed for various cultures and population groups to help us apply healthy eating on a daily basis include peanuts.
Learn more about how to use peanuts each day for your health and performance by clicking the links below. Also learn the facts on peanut allergy and how it can be successfully managed.

Emotional Commercial Reminds Us That Families Are Forever [VIDEO]
At one time or another, all families experience tensions.
Sometimes this can be as little as a small disagreement, or sometimes as large as family members vowing to never talk to each other again.
This video serves as a poignant reminder that no matter how deep the anger and hurt may be, nothing is impossible...because families are forever.

What is enlightenment? Is it a myth or is it real? On The Science of Enlightenment, you will learn that the liberated state is as real as the sensations you are having right now. For it is through the investigation of your own thoughts and feelings that you can awaken to clear insight and a happiness independent of conditions: the state of enlightenment.
Through his expertise in both science and spirituality, meditation teacher Shinzen Young demystifies the principles of awakening hidden within the world's great spiritual traditions and shows you how to use them in your own life.

Here, in an unequaled 14-CD course covering traditional teachings, scientific insights, and practical instructions, you will test for yourself the discoveries of the great wisdom traditions, including Buddhism, Christianity, Jewish mysticism, Sufism, Hinduism, shamanism, and many others.
Why is single-pointed concentration so highly regarded on every contemplative path? How do you move beyond emotional/intellectual blocks and into a state of highest presence? Where do psychic powers and other mystical phenomena fit in the architecture of enlightenment? How do you know if your meditation practice is working?
Course objectives:
- Discuss the benefits of having a regular meditation practice
- Recognize the similarities between the world's oldest and largest spiritual traditions in terms of practices of concentration and ideas of enlightenment
- Utilize meditation practices that focus on relaxation, the body, thinking, the sense of self, expanding and contracting, and the sensory field
- Describe the meaning of enlightenment and the Buddhist practices used to reach enlightenment
- Summarize the Buddhist perspective on the self, "the no-self," and how this is brought into meditation practice
- Apply Western scientific knowledge to Eastern spiritual practices in order to understand the benefits of both
- Identify the differences between reaching the source of consciousness/enlightenment, and the realm of power/new age phenomena
On The Science of Enlightenment, Shinzen Young elucidates these questions with precision and intelligence, demonstrating why he is regarded as one of the Western world's most articulate and understandable teachers of classical mystical experience.
The search for awakening is not limited to a chosen few. It is a field open for you to investigate—once you possess the inner technologies to do so. Now you can begin that investigation with The Science of Enlightenment. Includes six complete guided meditation sessions.
Learn More About:
- Six common traps on the path to awakening - and how to avoid them

Review for The Science of Enlightenment Review by Kathryn Jarrett L
I highly recommend Shinzen Young's CDs "The Science of Enlightenment." His discussions would benefit someone entirely new to Buddhist philosophy and practice and simultaneously bring practical and helpful information and insight to a practitioner with decades of meditation experience. Young's friendly, unpretentious approach was easy to listen-to, and at the same time, his discussion was clearly informed by his own practice, extensive experience and impressive scholarship.

Review for The Science of Enlightenment Review by Jeb W
This is an incredibly educational, ceaselessly engaging series. My wife and I find ourselves listening to it long after we've lost the cognitive capacity to process the material anymore (like children fighting sleep because they don't want to miss out on anything)! These fourteen discs are absolutely replete with wisdom, offering the avid learner heaping helpings of brain candy alongside hours of masterful guidance on the practical aspects of meditation. I bet you'll really like it ;) (Posted on October 4, 2014)
Review for The Science of Enlightenment Review by Bridgit
I'm not through all of the talks yet, but they are amazing. I am learning so much and they are really helping me to deepen my practice. There are some guided meditations included as well which really take you down deep. (Posted on September 30, 2014)
Review for The Science of Enlightenment Review by Kathleen O
This is the best complete set describing meditation I have ever found. Shinzen does a beautiful job!!! I recommend it to everyone I know and they love it too!!! Thank you Shinzen for such a beautiful set on meditation! (Posted on September 11, 2014)
Review for The Science of Enlightenment Review by NEO P
I am still on session 16 but this is one of the best dharma talks I've heard. Juicy with so much information that you cannot get the first time--in fact if you are distracted for a couple of minutes you miss out something--so I know I will have to hear it again and again! Shinzen explains everything in a very lucid, 'doable' way. Have done the 3 meditations so far and they are excellent as they are not overly guided with longish silences in-between (I wouldn't mind longer silences as too much running commentary irritates me but still good). thank you shinzen young. (Posted on April 20, 2014)
Review for The Science of Enlightenment Review by Linda T
I highly recommend this program, it is a treasure trove of information and wisdom on meditation. I have listened to it several times and use it as a resource. (Posted on April 24, 2013)
Review for The Science of Enlightenment Review by Fabien
One of the most intelligent dharma talk you will ever listen if you can totally concentrate on Shinzen's words. Yes, there is a lot to take in but you don't have to listen to it in one go. lol When he's talking about "Enlightenment", he's also talking about "Awakening" (ie Liberation). The two terminology are identical. If you are seeking liberation, then it is one of the most accurate and detailed presentation you will ever listen to. English is not my mother tongue and I have never been scientifically inclined, yet Shinzen makes it easy to understand. Amazing work!!! (Posted on December 5, 2011)

MOS necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 226 diseños de 59 diseñadores freelance.
Prudential Real Estate
We are a group of existing real estate agents in Australia's largest city, Sydney. We intend to create a new real estate group and our branding is the central element of our marketing. The logo you will create may well live on for many decades to come and hopefully become as memorable as Coca-Cola or Apple - especially for our target audience in Australia.
Prudential Real Estate (as part of the worldwide Prudential Group) is a dominant real estate brand in the USA. They have no plans to open in Australia and this has provided an opportunity for us to begin from scratch.
We are interested in a logo that says things like ... sure, stable, secure and trustworthy. We have no preference for colour except that dark blue is recognised by most psychologists as a colour that communicates dependability. However, in Australia, it seems that so many brands are a combination of dark blue and orange that we feel we should stay away from this colour mix.
The logo must include the word "Prudential" but does not have to include the additional words "Real Estate".
In addition, we have created a symbol to go with the word "Prudential". You'll find an example of this "fast-forward" symbol in the attached file. Not all of us are convinced this symbol is worthwhile - maybe it needs to be jazzed up a little or maybe you have another idea for a symbol. You decide.
Our target audience is residential and commercial property owners in suburban city locations throughout Australia.
The predominant age group is 30 to 60 years old - therefore only about half (the younger half) could be considered computer or internet-savvy right now. However, as time goes by this group will grow.
Because our target audience are property owners it could be said they are generally conservative in their thinking and careful with their money. They are interested in carefully considered, long-term investment in property - one of the most stable investment products in Australia.
Our aim is simple - a logo that will be remembered by our target audience.
It will not only appear on our letterhead but on business cards, window displays and brochures. Most importantly it will also appear on hundreds and hundreds of yard signs in the suburban front yards of our clients indictaing their home is FOR SALE.
Yard signs are the single greatest marketing edge real estate agents have over any other business or service in the world. Brand penetration is strengthened whenever someone drives by one of our yard signs erected in the front garden of one of our properties and is treated to a further exposure of our brand - over and over again.
The final design should be in the ratio of 15:100 (15 units high and 100 units wide). It should also be able to be reproduced in reverse.

The San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens both made Super Bowl XLVII after dramatic in-season changes to their respective offenses. While Alex Smith remains with the 49ers as a backup quarterback, fired Ravens coordinator Cam Cameron can only watch on television now.
"No hard feelings," Cameron recently told Robert Klemko of USA Today. "I had a great, great five years. I respect the decision they made. That doesn't mean I have to like it."
It's hard to argue with the results. The Ravens' offense has been more effective and varied since Cameron was replaced by Jim Caldwell. Cameron can't help but root for the team that employed him for nearly five seasons.
"It's funny, you go from being an offensive coordinator to a fan in a split second," Cameron said. "People think that's hard to do, but for me, it's not hard. How can you not pull for Joe and Matt Birk and Torrey and Jacoby and Ray and Marshal and Dennis, and Ray Lewis?"
Cameron deserves credit for his attitude. He contributed a great deal to the Ravens' success over the past five years, but this has to be a devastating turn of events for him. It's unclear where or if he'll work next season. Meanwhile, the Ravens' offense took off without him.
Winning has a way of smoothing over hard feelings, though. We suspect Cameron would get a ring if the Ravens win on Super Bowl Sunday.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship – Group A
Jan. 13, 2014
U.S. U-20 WNT head coach MICHELLE FRENCH
On being able to rest quite a few players in the third group match:
"It was obviously super important because there are some players that have played a lot of minutes and to have the opportunity to rest them and give them extra days of rest will be huge for us in the semis."
On the match
"It took a little while for us to display some sort of patience, whether it was cutting inside into numbers on the dribble or playing balls that were trying to split defenders when we could have played simple and wide. But, we finally ended up getting a goal, and we were especially dangerous on some set pieces in the first half. During the run of play in the second half we showed what we can do to be dangerous."
On her impressions of the team after all three games:
"We have a lot of versatility in our players in regards to the positions they can play. When we demand things of them, they're able to translate that information and put it on the field to show us that they understand the things we are working on. Lastly, they have a fight to them. They respond when they know they haven't played well so to know those are some the characteristics of this team will be great moving forward."
On the back line and goalkeepers allowing zero goals in group play:
"We continuously have been working on the continuity within our back line and we've spent a lot of time off the field with film. The fact they were able to go out there and execute the things we are asking them to do is great. We know as we move forward, there's going to be some more challenges ahead of us, so there' s still some areas we need to clean up to keep a clean sheet throughout the tournament. With having a new back line coming into this tournament, they've done really well."
U.S. U-20 WNT midfielder RACHEL HILL
On the match :
"I think we had a hard time getting into our rhythm at the beginning of the game, but as time wore on, we started to connect passes more, work together more and our movement was a lot better. That played a role in helping us get the game going."
On what her favorite goals were from the night:
"Too many. "Sav" [Jordan] put in a solid PK, I think McKenzie finished well today, she had some solid goals, Mallory really lit it up when she came in, so I think everyone did well today."
On her one-goal, four-assist performance:
"I think I did pretty well. I saw the field pretty well tonight. Some passes were a little off, but then you've just got to work hard to get it back."
U.S. U-20 WNT defender BRITTANY BASINGER
On the match:
"We started off slower than we wanted, but we finally got it under control and started knocking the ball around like we wanted to. We kept possession and then the goals started coming."
On winning 10-0:
"Our goal is always represent the USA as best we can and work as hard as we can for each other. We want to make a statement for the next game, and I think we're ready."
On scoring a goal as a left back scored from a tight angle near the end line:
"I'm not really sure what I was doing up there, but when I saw it come off the 'keeper I was ready to knock it in."
On looking forward to the semifinal:
"The next three days we're just going to try to get our legs underneath us and get ready for the semifinal because that's the game that will get us to the World Cup."
U.S. U-20 WNT forward MCKENZIE MEEHAN
On the match:
"We weren't that satisfied with the first half because we weren't clean in our passing and we weren't keeping great possession. We were getting a little anxious and going up the middle instead of playing wide. But at halftime, we made some proper adjustments and had a better second half."
On her hat trick:
"A lot of the goals were team goals. The first one I was just in the right spot on the corner kick and the last one Rachel hit a really good ball and I just took a touch and finished it."
On moving on to the semifinal:
"We're excited for the playoff part of this. We came here to qualify for the World Cup so now that's on the line in the next game. We are taking it one game at a time, but we want to win the semis and go on to win the whole thing."
