Greg8 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 451 designs submitted by 128 freelance designers.
"ZeroCx Bikes Systems" is a new (Basque company based in North of Spain) that was created in Jan. 2010. ZeroCx sells "Carbon-Ceramic wheels" for serious cyclists and top tri-athletes trough internet.
ZeroCx wheels are very specific wheels because they are very light and very resistant carbon made products. ZeroCx company needs a new logo that will be used as a brand for the website, for the company and also for the stickers on the wheels.
"Zero weight, Zero Drag" is the brand concept.
The Whom and the Why:
ZeroCx founders are keen cyclists, several hawaii ironman finishers, and an ex-spanish national squad triathlete. Among them they pool 20 years experience on pro sports equipment and technology. ZeroCx was initially set up out frustration at the high prices of pro level sports equipment. Pro equipment prices are high when you are surviving on sponsorships and sports grants. Once retired from high-level competition and the founders pooled their knowledge to source and build pro level equipment, both for themselves and their sports friends. ZeroCx was born, at the the urging of these friends, to make the carbon wheels available to all.
ZeroCx is targeting a specific market, our wheels are "very light, resistant and affordable carbon-ceramic wheels" for cyclists and tri-athletes. Our audience is worldwide as we sell our products on internet and we can reach all countries in the world. Our main competitors are Zipp (zipp.com), Campagnolo (http://www.campagnolo.com), Hed. (http://www.hedcycling.com/wheels/), Mavic (http://www.mavic.com), Ffwd (http://www.ffwdwheels.com).
Our clients are mainly men.
Feel free to create a logo without any brand name if you think it's better. If you want you can add the brand "ZeroCx" or maybe just only few letters "ZCx" or match the letters between themselves, at your own idea. We like the words "carbon" and "ceramic". Maybe our webpage can help : http://www.zerocx.com or these videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/CarbonWheels ....

32And a crowd was sitting around him, and they said to him, "Your mother and your brothers are outside, seeking you." 33And he answered them, "Who are my mother and my brothers?" 34And looking about at those who sat around him, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! 35For whoever does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother." – Mark 3:32-35
Here's one of the crucial questions that doesn't get asked enough: Does God have a will for each individual? Think before you answer. Does He have an individualized, highly detailed, inviolable (unbreakable) will for you? Could you defend biblically the concept that God has such a specific will? By that I mean does God have a specific college for you to go to? Does God have a specific church for you to attend, a specific person for you to marry, and a specific house for you to buy? Many of us are familiar with the struggle: you have a realtor and a price range. You find five possible houses but two of them you don't like and three of them are in the ballpark, and you're like, "God, which one is it?" Does He already not only know which one you will chose (His foreknowledge isn't bound by time), but also have a definite will about which one you should choose? We make hundreds of choices every day—are we running the risk of "detouring" from God's will at any and every moment? And what would happen if you make any decision not in perfect agreement with His plans? Does God even have an individual, micro-specific will like that? Because if He doesn't, we're putting ourselves through a lot of torture trying to find it and worrying about something that doesn't exist.
As we'll see elsewhere, I'm not in any way saying that God doesn't have a will. He most certainly does! And I'm not saying that God ever hands over veto power on any decision we make—just think about all the people who have failed in committing suicide and then been transformed by the Gospel. Whatever the freedom and limits of our wills (our decision-making), it isn't in the same category with God's. But there's a difference between thinking that God has a very specific will about every little nit-picky decision we make and realizing that God's will includes letting us make real choices and experience the results of those choices. Notice that Jesus' words in the verse above include the idea that some do and some don't do "the will of God." We need to have a clear understanding of God's will so we can go after it! —James MacDonald
Prayer – Thank You for reminding me today, Father, that You do have a will and really are in control of Your creation. Thank You that Your power, knowledge, grace, and love put limits on just how far wrong I can be. Thank You for extending to me the gift of eternal life, a gift I could have never earned, deserved, or figured out on my own. In Jesus' name, Amen.

LeBrontards will do anything to discredit a great (i.e. Kobe Bryant) to make their king seem unbeatable. LeBrontards will try to deny the fact that NBA Officials help LeBron in his quest for rings and will try to throw random stats into discussions to change topics. LeBrontards will claim that LeBron is the greatest player to ever wear #23 and will try to discredit fans of other teams by throwing in personal insults about the fan, the fan's favorite player, or the fans friends and family.

I'm looking for a tabletop takoyaki grill that I can use in Europe (e.g. not the 110V kind) without needing a giant transformer that would probably cost more than the grill itself because of wattage consumption. Anybody has one just sitting around? Or indeed more preferable... any suggestions where I can get my sticky hands on one? Dying for some Takoyaki... and I can't get them readily here. The only one I've seen online is in the Japan Center in UK and that's a cast iron stovetop one which won't work without a gas stove anyway, since I have an electric hob, it's pretty useless... besides they're sold out at this time. I'm happy to pay shipping for a decent one...
I've never seen one in Europe and I was given a cast iron version as a wedding present so have never needed to search for one.
If I were to look I'd investigate the Danish market and hunt out an Æbleskiver maker. These are the closest European food I've seen to Takoyaki.
Try entering elektriske æbleskivepande into a search engine.
Good idea Loretta! I have cast iron aebleskiver, takoyaki, and poffertjes pans, and round (and long) gem irons. Don't ask me why, I seem to collect the things. The aebleskiver pan has larger holes than the takoyaki one, but apart from that they're pretty much the same. The round gem iron holes are identical to the takoyaki ones, but I've never heard of an electric gem iron.
You can compare them here: http://bronwyncarlisle.blogspot.com/2010/07/new-toys.html

I have never seen them in Europe either but I was looking at getting a transformer to run it off UK mains and they were only less than 10 euros. The transformers are only small and plug directly into the mains hardly any bugger than a normal plug. I have the same problem and have electric hobs. So a solution to that would be a gas camping stove they are cheap to pick up usually around 10 euros and they are portable so you can use it at your table. Plus if you also get a round grill pan for it you can cook korean BBQ style at your table which is a lot of fun. Good look with your Takoyaki adventure. I first had them in China and fell in love with them. So simple yet so tasty.

Whilst you can run an alarm clock or some other gadget with a small wattage with this sort of small cheap transformer, forget it for the more power hungry appliances. For instance, these are no good for hair dryers, toasters or kettles.
The best thing to do is to find out what the wattage is on your chosen appliance and speak to an electrical store and get prices on step down transformers - specifically a 240V (check your country's standard mains voltage) to 100V. Anything that can handle large wattage, lets say above 100watts will cost you more than you probably want to pay (Also a takoyaki grill will very likely run very high wattage, way above 100W). Also stick to 100V for Japanese stuff, you can get 240V-110V but these are mainly for American appliances and although the extra 10V won't kill your appliance, it will put it under strain and you may see degradation in performance. Most Japanese stuff is rated to work to about 110V but this is their limit.
On the other hand, the idea about getting a tabletop gas burner is an excellent idea and could be the most economic solution -Do check the gas intake nozzle as it might use a non European standard fitting, in other words, check the cheap gas burner actually uses gas bottles/refills that are locally and cheaply available.
Camping burners like the ones at http://www.vtarmynavy.com/propane-gas-stove.htm? I reckon they'd do. And I should think the connectors will be standard - the shop will sell you the gas bottles anyway.
Try a gas burner.
A lot of the local restaurants use this type of burners.
We us them for cooking sukiyaki, and shabu shabu at home.
The left overs are great for the bento , though it can be a bit messy. (-_-)
The burners are good for backup during power outages too.
A gas burner is also a good thing to have in case of power outages if your stove is electric. I have a gas cooktop, but have a single induction hob for just in case the gas runs out unexpectedly. As it did once when my house-sitter changed the bottles when I was away and didn't tell me - so the next time a bottle ran out I had no gas at all. Of course it's also good if I'm having a dinner party for lots of people.

Wolves Reach Agreements With Kevin Martin, Budinger
The Timberwolves roster is beginning to take shape for the 2013-14 season as the team has reportedly reached a four-year agreement with swingman Kevin Martin and a three-year deal with forward Chase Budinger.
Martin, 30, played for the Oklahoma City Thunder last season after being swapped from Houston in exchange for James Harden. Martin averaged 14 points per game last season, down from 17.1 in 2011-12 and 23.2 in 2010-11. The contract is reportedly worth four years and $30 million.
Budinger played in just 23 games after suffering an early-season knee injury last season, his first in Minnesota. The 25-year old averaged 9.4 points per game.
The Wolves' final major task in the offseason will be to re-sign center Nikola Pekovic, who is a restricted free agent.

Since Tuesday, protests have taken a violent turn in Greece and Spain as tens of thousands of people gathered in Athens and Madrid to express discontent over new austerity measures.
In Athens, violence broke out after a 24 hour nationwide strike got underway. At least 50,000 marched towards the Greek parliament building in what was the first 24 hour strike since the election of a conservative-led coalition government earlier this year. Three major unions called the strike to protest against fresh wage and pension cuts, higher fuel taxes and planned job cuts for public sector workers.
In Madrid, thousands of demonstrators besieged the country's parliament building, which was guarded by around 1,500 policemen. The unrest came ahead of a tough budget announcement by Spain's Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, scheduled for Thursday.
Spanish newspapers are reporting that 64 people were injured, 27 of which were policemen. Demonstrators are calling for the protests to continue on Wednesday night and Saturday.

Victor M. Powell — November 25, 1919 — October 6, 2011
George Victor Campbell Morgan Powell, "Vic," a member of the Wabash College community for nearly 65 years, passed away peacefully in his home on Wednesday. He was 91 years old.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, October 16 in the Pioneer Chapel on the campus of Wabash College with a reception to follow. Memorial contributions may be made to the Victor and Marion Powell Scholarship Fund at Wabash College.
Powell served Wabash College in virtually every possible way — Professor of Speech, Department Chair, Secretary of the Faculty, Dean of the College, Executive Vice President, and Acting President.
He spoke frequently about his arrival at Wabash as an assistant professor in 1947 and his plans to stay for no more than two years before moving on. He and his wife, Marion, made Wabash and Crawfordsville their home from that point forward, and he served the College continuously until his retirement in 1989. Powell is survived by his wife and two daughters, Carol Lombardi and Karen McCarthy.
"Whatever his role, Vic was always the greatest and most generous of teachers, a man whose love of the College poured out in his affection for his students and his commitment to their promise, a promise that he awoke through every class and every conversation by his kindness, his rigor of thought and language, and his sheer delight in their learning," said Wabash President Patrick White. "He was one of the greatest of teachers at Wabash, and a consummate teacher of teachers. Anyone who ever had a conversation with Vic learned from him and we all were fortunate to be his students."
Born November 25, 1919 in Fargo, North Dakota, Powell received his bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Minnesota. He served in the United States Air Force during World War II. In 1946, he earned his master's degree and later his Ph.D. from the University of Missouri.
He received the McLain-McTurnan Excellence in Teaching Award at Wabash in 1974. A year later, the National Association of Wabash Men named Powell an Honorary Alumnus and he was awarded an honorary degree, Doctor of Humane Letters, in 1981.
He was a life-long fan of the St. Louis Cardinals and a regular presence at the faculty round table in the Scarlet Inn, the campus diner.
Powell sat down for an interview just weeks before he turned 90, and told Wabash Magazine editor Steve Charles the secrets to good living: "I was born with a near insatiable appetite for fruits and vegetables," Powell said. "I never can eat enough of them. I don't care if I eat meat or not. And I like to walk."
"Sometimes I get up feeling lethargic—and I do, often enough. But by the time I've walked down to the school, picked up the New York Times, and am sitting at the Scarlet Inn with my colleagues around, I'm restored." Read the whole interview here.
Powell was an active public servant in Crawfordsville, modeling for his students a life of civic engagement. He served on the Crawfordsville City Council and Crawfordsville School Board; presided over the Parks and Recreation Board; served on the Crawfordsville Board of Police Commissioners; and was a long-serving member of the Christian Nursing Service Board and the Montgomery County Comprehensive Health Planning Council, to name only a few of the agencies he served.
At Wabash College, Powell was a powerful campus voice, and he taught generations of students to find their own voices and to communicate with precision and clarity.
Powell taught at Dartmouth in 1946 before he was recruited to Wabash by then-Dean Byron K. Trippet. At the time, Wabash's speech department was headed by a legendary figure in the field — William Norwood Brigance — and Powell thought working with him would help launch his career.
Powell's career took off and Wabash's speech department received national acclaim. But something happened along the way — Powell got hooked on Wabash.
"I came here specifically to stay for two years, but I fell in love with the place and then they would have had to throw me out," Powell told Wabash Magazine in 1990 after serving as Acting President. "The essential things that I really like about Wabash are still as they were when I came here. There is not great separation of administration and faculty, and a student wouldn't hesitate to come in to see the president. A general mode of informality has persisted."
Following Brigance's death in 1960, Powell became a full professor and chair of the department. He continued in that role until 1973, when President Thad Seymour asked him to succeed Richard Traina as Dean of the College. He served as Dean until he returned to the classroom in 1981. In 1986, he stepped into the role of Executive Vice President to assist President Lewis S. Salter, and in 1989 he served as Acting President of the College.
Powell was a lifetime member of the Methodist Church. He received the Rotary Club's Paul Harris Fellowship Award for his service to the Crawfordsville community. The Montgomery County Community Foundation honored him for more than five decades of service, and the Christian Nursing Service awarded him its Golden Apple Award for his work at the CNS clinics, Meals on Wheels program, and the FISH clothing closet and food pantry.
Outside of Wabash's formal classroom setting, Powell was an active teacher. He helped develop and teach in the Wabash Institute for Personal Development; taught classes to employees at R.R. Donnelley; served as a consultant for Eli Lilly and Company's sales training program; lectured for Indiana University's summer programs; and chaired the Great Lakes Colleges Association Deans Council.
At the occasion of his 90th birthday, the National Association of Wabash Men paid tribute to Powell, saying in part, "Let this resolution demonstrate the gratitude all Wabash men — and particularly this Board — for his lifetime contributions to the College and for his personal friendship to generations of Little Giants."
Victor M. Powell — Some Little Giant!

Former neighborhood watch leader George Zimmerman wants to use the school records of Miami Gardens teen Trayvon Martin as part of his defense strategy.
Zimmerman's attorney said Friday that he has sent subpoenas to the schools attended by the 17-year Miami-area teen. The schools include Norland Middle School, Miami Carol City High School, Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High and Miami-Dade County Public Schools.
The subpoenas request disciplinary notices, suspension notices and tardiness records, among other things.
Zimmerman Case Assigned to New Judge
Zimmerman's attorneys, in a posting on their website, said they will be issuing subpoenas for other items in the coming weeks, including potentially relevant data from social media platforms, reports related to chain of custody to key evidence, interviews and more.
Zimmerman is charged with second degree murder for fatally shooting Martin during a confrontation in a gated community in Sanford last February. Zimmerman is pleading not guilty, claiming self-defense.
The delay in Zimmerman's arrest led to nationwide protests.
Zimmerman Wants Stand Your Ground Hearing
The request for school records indicates Zimmerman may try to portray Martin in an unflattering light as part of his defense strategy.
Shortly before coming to Sanford for a visit, Martin had been suspended from school for tardiness.

'Flexible' Kruse confident of World Cup spot
Borussia Monchengladbach forward Max Kruse is confident that his "flexibility" will ensure he makes Germany's FIFA World Cup squad.
The 25-year-old has eight goals in 17 Bundesliga appearances this term, a return that has helped Lucien Favre's side to third in the standings.
Kruse has six caps and one goal for the national side, and has been a regular member of Joachim Low's squad since August.
He feels he is being rewarded for a series of impressive domestic displays and hopes to be among the 23-man squad for the showpiece event, which starts in Brazil later this year.
Speaking to Sport Bild, he said: "If one has been invited since August, always, that says something.
"I think that the national coach rewarded my performance at the club.
"I know we have 25 to 30 players that have hope (of going to the World Cup). At the end only 23 (can go).
"I guess I am the type of striker that is most flexible. I am not a (Miroslav) Klose or (Mario) Gomez."

It's been a long week of sickness that has finally abated but has left me quarantined in my home for most of the past seven days. So today I leave you with Quotes of the Week--may you make more sense of them than I do.
Overheard after running club: "I'm so sweaty I bet you could put your finger at the top of my nose and it would just slip right off with all the sweat. See? See?"
Overheard during Basic Training in the garage: "They ought to make bombs in the shape of kitchen utensils. Then you when you needed to bomb somebody you could just say, 'Hey, here's some kitchen utensils!'"
Overheard during a game of "Trick-or-Treating Legos" (don't ask) I heard an unnamed adult--not me--say, "Tell us about the vampires. Make it short but interesting."
Overheard during snacks at the kitchen counter: "Marc loves anything grape. ANYTHING. Except prunes--he doesn't like prunes."

Why is Sansa Still Alive, Again?
Game Of Thrones Season 3 Episode 1 recap
We're back! Delightfully, though it's been almost a year, absolutely nothing has changed in Westeros since we were last there, except for perceptions. I spent most of the fist episode going "okay, so here's who they didn't kill".
Of these, to me the most curious is Sansa. No longer of any use to Joffrey, wouldn't you think she'd have been disposed of by now, especially when she didn't go off with the Hound? I really enjoyed the training Cersei was giving her last year, but given that her attention seems to have now shifted to how much she hates Margaery Tyrell, is there really any use for Sansa?
I fear that the answer is "to give Shae something to do", and I really don't know why. Partly it's been a while since I've seen these people, and partly it's due to that actress' really limited acting abilities – but when I saw Petyr Baelish bidding Sansa to go away with him and not tell a soul, and Roz and Shae whispering that he couldn't be trusted, do you know who I suspected? Roz. And Shae. She's not winning me over, no matter how much Tyrion still likes her, though he spends most of his time just chiding her for being in his presence, so there's that.
What will become of Tyrion? He's not happy, obviously, and not feeling proud because of his moments, however fleeting, in battle. One of the reasons I like this character so much is because he is, somehow, some way, still vulnerable. Not just in the manner that makes him beckon Bronn to his side (highly amusing, that whole sequence) but in that he's still, even now, hopeful that his sister of his father might show some stroke of humanity. I don't know why he's so foolish as to think it could happen, but he is, and you can see it in his face every single time. I almost want to chuff him on the shoulder and tell the little soldier to buck up.
I wrote this, last year:
"Once Tywin gets full scope of just how insane Joffrey is, won't he have to think a little about what role his youngest son played, even if it didn't end in his triumph in battle?"
And now it seems just so naïve. There's cold, and then there's really chilly, and then there's absolutely no conception of anything like human behavior to a man who is arguably born of your blood. This is where you can't help but feel bad for Tyrion - his bitterness gets reinforced over and over again because his family are such dicks. But I actually believe he'd like to let his guard down if one of them ever did say something nice to him – he's just so exhausted of waiting for that day. The absolute preposterousness of his taking over Casterly Rock was, well, preposterous, I guess – so who will he become now? While we're on the subject of Tyrion's messed-up family, can someone possibly explain why Tywin Lannister is so anti-whore? It doesn't really make sense, I feel. Does it?
Meanwhile, Robb and Catelyn and his annoying wife Talisa are heading up the boring brigade, but the part I didn't understand was whether or not they'd been told that Bran and Rickon were (allegedly) burnt to a crisp? How did that bit of gossip not escape Winterfell? I know he says they "haven't been found", but um, weren't they allegedly on the end of those ropes? Isn't that what we (the royal, Winterfell-citizens we) were supposed to think? Like nobody else knows they're off with Hodor. (Hodor!) Do they?
For that matter, is Baelish the first one to say that Arya's alive? It's so exciting to hear it spoken aloud, and among all the other wonderings going on about alive or dead (I can only imagine the fate befallen Theon Greyjoy) it kind of made a moment of delight.
Finally, the Khaleesi. And her dragons – or just one, since that greenscreen/CGI extravaganza was so expensive. Fine, so she'll purchase some nippleless warrior robots and she and Jorah know they're better people than most, but for the love of all that's good and holy, could we have some stuff happen soon please? I mean, aside from a little assassination-attempt-by-possessed-urchin, which was weirdly timed, I still don't know if she actually fears anything except the constant barfing of the Dothraki (sorry, sorry!) More next week, please. Like, does Stannis Baratheon not get wind that there's a white-haired Targaeryen who thinks she has a chance?
Oh. Also, Jon Snow can do no wrong, I love Ygritte, and I further appreciate that there was a giant in the midst. I have, however, a lot of anxiety over Sam.
(Lainey to Duana: when the stuff happens, GET READY. Steel yourselves for Episode 3 and onwards.)

Stop rust in its tracks! Our 2-Pc. Rust Encapsulator Kit has been reformulated with TWICE the corrosion resistance!
16-oz. aerosol (covers about 10 sq. ft.) plus 1-quart can (covers about 50 sq. ft.)
Twice the corrosion resistance of our original formula for greater durability (tested to 500 hours in a salt-spray chamber)
Epoxy-fortified for better adhesion and topcoat compatibility
Penetrates deeper to prevent rust from spreading or forming, even in hard-to-reach areas
Cures faster, and the low-VOC formula is acceptable in California
As seen on "My Classic Car" TV show
You thought it was good before…wait 'til you try this Rust Encapsulator! It seals and stops rust and corrosion from spreading, but it performs even better than our original formula. Tested against well-known brands, the Eastwood Rust Encapsulator has proven to be superior in sunlight resistance, preventing rust creep, and overall durability.
More Info
Eastwood Rust Encapsulator has been tested by an independent lab to be one of the most effective rust-preventive products yet. Rust Encapsulator is a great primer for floor pans and other under-body parts. It fills tiny pin-holes and surface irregularities, and is compatible with lacquer, enamel and urethane topcoats (including Eastwood Chassis Black). For the absolute ultimate rust remedy, first brush or spray-on Eastwood Rust Converter, then prime with Rust Encapsulator. Contains no isocyanates. Heat-resistant up to 400 degrees F. Made in the USA.
16060Z Rust Encapsulator Black, Aerosol
16065ZP Rust Encapsulator Black, Quart
In places where little or no surface prep can be done, our Heavy-Duty Anti-Rust (16017ZP) is actually a better choice for applying into blind areas such as box sections.
Use a wire brush to remove loose rust, scale and paint, and remove dust, grease and oil deposits. Feather surrounding paint with 220-grit sandpaper. Brush-apply directly from the can, thin 20% with lacquer thinner to spray, or use the aerosol. A single coat dries to the touch in 20 minutes, and is thoroughly dry in 3-4 hours at 68 degrees F. For greater durability, a second coat can be applied 1 hour after the first. Allow 6-8 hours after the last coat before applying topcoat. Use over or under body fillers.
(Q) Can Rust Encapsulator be applied with the Undercoating System?
(A) Technically, yes, but this application isn't recommended because Rust Encapsulator requires surface to be free of grease, oil, and loose rust. The best product to coat inside box sections is the Heavy-Duty Anti-Rust (16017ZP). This waxy, oily product flows into pinch welds and through rust to seal surfaces from contact with moisture and air, but cannot be painted over, so it's only suitable for inside box sections that don't show. Use lacquer thinner for cleanup.

If you were an 80s or 90s baby, then chances are you were around for Britney Spears and her infamous "Hit Me Baby One More Time" music video. For some reason Britney's sexy school girl outfit started a craze and from then on the sexy school girl costume has been guaranteed to show up at any Halloween party. Anyone who has had to wear a real school uniform knows that you would probably be immediately removed for wearing Britney's altered uniform, which makes it all the more fun to wear for Halloween! Getting the sexy school girl look is so easy and we have some great ideas on how to get the perfect look with some luxury designer swimwear.
You can obviously look to the pop queen herself for your school girl inspiration, but Britney hasn't been the only celeb to pull off this sexy uniform look. Katy Perry has rocked the school girl look on stage and we must say it's a good look for her. Maybe it's because she already has that super sweet girl with a naughty side style, but whatever it is we love it! Another school girl look made famous by the celebs is of course the fashionable version from Gossip Girl. Serena and Blair opted for a more fashionable version of their plaid skirt and white blouse look by adding accessories and of designer everything! Whichever style you model your sexy school girl costume after, one thing is for sure, the plaid mini skirt is a must and pig tails are always a plus.
Whether you pair your plaid skirt with a little cardigan or a loosely buttoned blouse, you are going to want something fun to wear underneath! The Lady Lux Director's Cut Bandeau Bikini is plaid perfection and will work seamlessly with your sexy school girl costume. After fashion week, it is obvious that plaid is going to be a huge trend for the next year so this sexy designer bikini will be a popular style after Halloween has come and gone. Shop this sexy swimsuit and more bandeau bikinis at the online Lady Lux boutique.

Betsy Ross and the American Flag
Was This Her House?
There is almost no doubt that as of 1785, Betsy Ross and her third husband, John Claypoole, lived on the north side of Arch Street, between Second and Third Streets, which is the present location of the Betsy Ross House. Although it cannot be definitively established, the evidence points strongly to the conclusion that Betsy Ross lived either in the house which is now 239 Arch Street or at 241 Arch Street, now the garden of the Betsy Ross House.
In attempting to establish whether Betsy Ross lived at the site which is now the Betsy Ross House, (presently numbered 239-245 Arch Street), one may begin with the earliest Philadelphia city directories, published in 1785. Prior to that date, the only record of Philadelphia residents were the militia and tax rolls. Unfortunately, these records listed only property owners and neither Betsy Ross nor any of her three husbands owned property.
The earliest city directories were published in 1785 by Frances White and John MacPherson. These directories were used from 1785 until 1791 when they were replaced by a new directory, using a different numbering system. Under the crude system utilized by White, the entry for John Claypoole in 1785 was:
"Claypoole, John, upholsterer, Arch b. Second and Third Streets."
Unlike White, MacPherson assigned numbers to the location in his directory. He assigned numbers to locations on east-west streets such as Arch Street, by beginning at southeast corner of Front Street and numbering consecutively westward to the last location; he continued numbering eastward along the north side of the street to the northwest corner of Front. Thus, between the years 1785 and 1791, the locations between Second and Third Streets on the north side of Arch were numbered from 329 to 353. John Claypoole is listed in the MacPherson directory as:
"Claypoole, John, Upholsterer, 335 Arch Street"
As the 1785 directories placed the location of Betsy Ross and John Claypoole on the north side of Arch Street between Second and Third Streets, they support the fact that Betsy Ross once occupied the present Betsy Ross House which is also on the north side of Arch between Second and Third. More precisely, one might question whether the house numbered "335 Arch" (the Ross-Claypoole residence in 1785) under the MacPherson numbering system corresponds with the locations numbered "239-245 Arch Street" which comprise the Betsy Ross House today.
The answer is somewhat complicated because the numbering system used today, which assigns the numbers "239-245 Arch Street" to the Betsy Ross House, was not instituted until 1857. Prior to that time two different systems were used. From 1785 to 1791 the above-described MacPherson system was in effect and, as above noted, Betsy Ross occupied "335 Arch." From 1791 to 1857 a second system was used. In 1791 Col. Clement Biddle published a directory that replaced the MacPherson directory. Biddle used the system of numbering houses alternatively from one side of the street to the other, increasing from east to west, as is done today. However, whereas today the numbers between Second and Third Streets on the north side of Arch range from 205 to 249, under Biddle's 1791 system which was in effect until 1857, the numbers ranged from 57 to 99.
To determine whether the Claypoole residence in 1785, then numbered "335 Arch Street," corresponds with the present site of the Betsy Ross House, one must determine first, the numbers assigned to the Betsy Ross House under the Biddle system from 1791-1857, and second, whether that number or numbers correspond with the location numbered "335 Arch Street" in the MacPherson directory. One might focus on determining the corresponding numbers of the house at the Betsy Ross House, presently numbered 239 Arch Street.
The location now numbered "239 Arch Street" was numbered "89 Arch Street" under Col. Biddle's 1791 system. No historian disputes this. The fact is confirmed by a photograph of the tailor shop of "P.H. Mund" with a shop numbered "87" to the right and a shop numbered "93" two doors to the left. A chain of title report prepared by the Philadelphia Historical Commission shows Philip Mund as owner of the shop located at what is presently numbered 239 Arch Street as early as 1866.
The question, therefore, becomes whether the "335 Arch Street" of 1785 corresponds with the "89 Arch Street" of 1791. It is not helpful to look for the Claypooles at 89 Arch Street in the 1791 directory as the Claypooles had moved from Arch Street to a home on Second Street near Dock Street by that date. Therefore, John Claypoole is listed in the 1791 directory as 80 So. Second Street and the individual listed at 89 Arch Streeet is "Thomas Carmalt."
There is evidence, however, that Betsy Ross did occupy the location numbered 89 Arch Street. In a sworn statement dated July 31, 1891, Betsy Ross' daughter, Rachael Claypoole Fletcher, stated:
"[The house in which my mother made the flag] was on the north side of Arch Street, a few doors below Third Street, above Bread Street, a two story house, with attic and a dormer window, now standing, the only one of the row left, the old number being 89; it was formerly occupied by Daniel Niles, shoemaker. Mother at first lived at the house next east, and when the war came, she moved into the house of Daniel Niles."
Despite the seriousness with which a Quaker, such as Rachael Fletcher, might have taken an oath, the reliability of this affidavit has been challenged on the ground of faulty recollection and self-interest. Not content to rest on the Fletcher affidavit, others have suggested that the house occupied by Betsy Ross was in fact 233 Arch Street (old number 83) [Joseph Jackson, "Arch Street's Place in the Annals of Old Philadelphia," Public Ledger, Nov. 30, 1913] or 221 Arch Street (old number 71). ["Flag House or Not, Who Knows?", North American, December 29, 1899]
One might independently determine whether number "335 Arch" of 1785 corresponds with number "89 Arch" of 1791 by examining the individuals listed between Second and Third Streets on the north side of Arch during this six year period. One can arrive at a rough correspondence of numbers by finding an individual who remained stationary from 1785 through 1791, thus appearing in both directories. One then counts the number of houses between the Claypoole location (335 Arch) and the stationary individual in 1785 and then counts this number in the same direction from the stationary individual's residence in 1791.
The 1785 MacPherson directory [Taken from George Canby's copy of the 1785 MacPherson directory. In 1785 Arch Street was alternately known as Mulberry Street.] and the 1791 Biddle directory list the following entries for the site between Second and Fourth Streets on Arch.

85 - William Montgomery
83 - William Sellers
81 - Joshua Howell
79 - Ann Vaux
77 - Joseph B. McKean, Esq.
75 - James Lewis
73 - Georqe Gideon
71 - Jacob Christler
Comparison of these lists shows that several occupants remained in the same location between 1785 and 1791. William Heysham appears in both lists at 324 Arch Street in 1785 and, in 1791, 107 Arch. Lesley Ashburn, listed at 327 Arch in the 1784 directory, no doubt corresponds with Lesley Eastburn at 101 Arch in the 1791 directory. Alexander Wilcox is listed at 325 Arch in the 1783 and Alexander Wilcocks is listed at 105 Arch in 1791. Similarly, William Sellers, at 339 Arch in the 1785 directory, appears in the 1791 directory at 83 Arch.
The best candidate for fixing the 1791 number of 335 Arch is William Sellers, as he is the closest to that location. Between 339 Arch and 335 Arch in 1785 are four locations. Counting four locations westward from the Sellers site, 83 Arch, in 1791, one arrives at 91 Arch Street. It is reasonably certain, moreover, that Sellers remained in the same location between 1785 and 1791. The census report of Philadelphia head of families [Historical Society of Pennsylvania, 1300 Locust Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.] shows that in 1790 William Sellers lived between Joshua Howell and William Montgomery, as he did in 1791. The 1790 census date was no doubt compiled between 1789 and 1790. This comparison of the 1791 and 1785 directories, therefore, places the site that Betsy Ross occupied in 1785, at 91 Arch Street under the 1791 directory. This site was renumbered 241 Arch under the system used today; 241 Arch Street is presently the garden of the Betsy Ross House.
This conclusion must be treated with some caution, however. There is no certainty that the number of houses between numbers 339 Arch and 335 Arch in 1785 is the same number of houses between 83 Arch and 91 Arch in 1791. The MacPherson directory is extremely imprecise. MacPherson not only assigned numbers to houses but to stables and outhouses as well. In addition, he made provisions for "the numbers of houses that probably will be built upon improved lots within the boundaries." [emphasis supplied]. The possibility remains, therefore, that number "335 Arch" of 1785 corresponds with a location to the immediate east or west of 91 Arch (today 241 Arch) including 89 Arch Street (239 Arch Street today). It is also possible, as Rachael Fletcher indicated in her 1871 statement, that Betsy Ross lived at more than one location on Arch Street — perhaps occupying both 91 and 89 Arch Street (241 and 239 Arch Streets, respectively, today).
The system of finding an individual who remained in the same location between 1785 and 1791 has been used by others to show that the Claypoole site at 335 Arch corresponds with 83 Arch Street in 1791, subsequently 233 Arch. One historian [Joseph Jackson, see earlier] chose Alexander Wilcox as the stationary figure. Wilcox is listed at 325 Arch in the 1785 directory and at 105 Arch in the 1791 directory. This historian counted ten locations between 325 and 335, the Claypoole site, in 1785. He then counted ten locations from 105 Arch in the 1791 directory and, apparently skipping number 87, arrived at number 83. However, number 83 in 1791 quite clearly corresponds with number 339 Arch, not 335 Arch, in 1785. This can be established by noting that, as discussed above, William Sellers, occupant of number 339 in 1785, remained at the same location in 1791. The listing for Sellers in 1791 is 83 Arch Street. Therefore, that writer must be in error. Moreover, because MacPherson's directory was overinclusive, it is unlikely that the number of listed locations between 325 and 335 Arch, a distance that crosses Third Street, would remain the same in the 1791 directory; it is more likely that the number of locations listed in the 1791 directory, which did not include stables, outhouses and prosppective buildings, decreased.This analysis undermines the contention that Betsy Ross occupied the house located at 221 Arch Street. [See North American, December 1899, see above.] With little more to support it than an affidavit by an individual in 1899 stating that in 1876 "everyone knew that the Betsy Ross house was at number 221," this theory places the Claypoole site far to the east of the location indicated by the 1785 and 1791 directories. Moreover, if one examines the city directories and attempts to find the 1785 location of what is now 221 Arch Street the contention can be disproved. Number 221 Arch Street of today corresponds not with number 335 Arch Street (the Claypoole listing) of 1785 but with number 345. Number 221 Arch corresponds with number 71 Arch of 1791. In the Biddle directory of that year, the listing for 71 Arch is:
- "Jacob Christler, Shopkeeper"
- "Jacob Crysler"
One can confirm the identity of "Jacob Crysler" with "Jacob Christler" through an analysis similar to that used above in determining the 1791 number of 335 Arch Street. 83 Arch Street in 1791, the residence of William Sellers, corresponds with 339 Arch in 1785. There are six locations between 83 Arch and 71 Arch, the residence of Jacob Christler. Counting six locations eastward from the 1785 equivalent to 83 Arch — 339 Arch — one arrives at 345 Arch, the residence of Jacob Crysler. Number 221 Arch Street was owned and occupied by the Christler family from June 8, 1761 until December 2, 1826. 221 Arch Street, therefore, was not the 1785 residence of the Claypooles who occupied 335 Arch, but of Jacob Chrysler, who occupied 345 Arch.
The contemporary historical evidence, therefore, shows that the Claypoole residence of 1785, "335 Arch Street," is now located at either 239 Arch Street or 241 Arch Street. It becomes clear when the search of directories, the affidavits and other evidence has been analyzed that no evidence exists which belies the conclusion that the site of the Betsy Ross House is the location where Betsy Ross lived when she made the first flag of the United States.

Survivors of Oregon bus crash prepare to go home
PENDLETON, Ore. – Some of the survivors of a fatal bus crash on a rural Oregon highway retrieved their passports and other belongings Tuesday so they can finish their journey to Canada.
At least 14 survivors remained hospitalized in three states after the weekend crash that killed nine and injured 38 others. State police escorted others one by one to collect their property, which was strewn across a hillside as the tour bus careened 200 feet from a partly icy roadway Sunday.
The bus was returning to Vancouver, British Columbia, on the final leg of a nine-day tour of the western United States. The trip was organized by a British Columbia travel agency to carry tourists traveling in small groups. Most of the passengers were Korean.
The Red Cross said some of the survivors were too terrified to get on another bus, so a nearby Ford dealer offered to drive them in smaller passenger vehicles. Some were expected to begin the trip on Wednesday.
"The pieces are kind of getting into place about getting back to normal, and they want to go home," said Mary Naman, a registered nurse from Portland working with the American Red Cross to help survivors.
Red Cross workers are helping about 15 survivors who remain in Pendleton, trying to make them as comfortable as possible while they wait for police to release their belongings and for the logistics of their return trip to be worked out. One local volunteer, who is Korean, planned to make traditional Korean food for them, Naman said.
Many of the survivors did not know each other before the trip but have supported each other and formed a close bond through shared experience, said Sandy Ramirez, a Red Cross psychologist. While they're eager to get home, it will also be tough to separate from the other survivors who understand what they're going through, she said.
State police and National Transportation Safety Board investigators were expected to finish an inspection of the bus Tuesday.
Oregon State Police identified one of the nine victims as a 57-year-old Washington man. Authorities said Dale William Osborn of Spanaway was killed in the Sunday crash and his wife, Sue Osborn, remained hospitalized in Pendleton, about 200 miles east of Portland.
His daughter, Jennifer Sherman of Colorado Springs, said she was told her father was hit in the head by a rock while her mother was thrown into a river bed. She last spoke to her father two weeks ago.
"He was very happy," Sherman said. "He's a very good man."
Authorities have not yet released the names of the other eight people who died, but police said the four men and four women were of Asian descent and one female victim may be a juvenile.
Two families are expected to arrive from South Korea later this week, said Vice Consul Chul Ho Choi, who came to Pendleton from Seattle to help authorities translate, identify victims and notify relatives. Relatives of all victims have now been notified, he said.
Chris Huxoll, sales manager at Legacy Ford in La Grande, Ore., said the dealership will probably use new sport-utility vehicles with four-wheel drive to be sure survivors can safely make the 420-mile trip to Vancouver.
"We are extremely sensitive to the fact that these kids and adults don't want to get on a bus," said Casey White-Zollman, a volunteer spokeswoman for the Red Cross.
Police said Monday they still weren't sure how fast the bus was travelling before the crash.
It could take a month or more to determine whether the driver, a 54-year-old man from Vancouver was at fault and whether he'll face charges, Oregon State Police Lt. Gregg Hastings said.
The bus was traveling westbound in the left lane of Interstate 84 when it hit a concrete barrier, veered across both westbound lanes and plunged through the guardrail and 200 feet down the embankment, Hastings said. The NTSB said the bus rolled at least once.
The interstate links Boise, Idaho, and Portland, Ore., through the Blue Mountains and the Columbia River Gorge.

For episode 16, they did a great job of packing in all sorts of interesting plot and character developments, while also effectively setting up the next battle. Every major protagonist cast member had at least a few good bits, and the overall storyline is chugging along nicely. And the added political intrigue was a nice touch.
The 2nd half of this show has been rock solid, and I'm definitely looking forward to more.

All the time in MJP academy doesn't count since it is just training. After being mind wpied, it is certain that they will get some indoctrination to build up loyalty.It is not really illegal when you come right down to it either.

So...we are finally getting into the real dramatic stuff now. This is what I am used to in my mecha: political underplay, teens beginning to go emo because of their skills (or lack thereof), enemies with ulterior motives, bland damsels who are completely "perfect" and the boys who declare that they will save them.
Ahhh....it took MJP a while to get to this point. But like most war mecha shows, it was all bound to show up sooner or later.
However, this all seems to be the calm before the storm, and I can't really tell what's going on with Ange. Izuru could really be with Kei or Teoria, however I continue to lean towards the Lacus clone. Asagi is clearly falling for Kei, but she hasn't noticed.
It seems that the GDP aren't as global as we thought and we actually do have them split up into national groups. "Japan" has the newest tech and wants to keep a monopoly on it. All the other groups follow suit and we now have a small petty cold war going on amongst the actual war against the Wulgaru.
Speaking of the Wulgaru, Orange Leader, my favorite of them, has a plan of action and we're not sure what he aim is. Red Leader is distracting the armed forces so that Orange Leader's team can have enough time to do what he needs to do. However, Purple Leader is on the move, and he seems to have his own ideas.
With drama continuing, I give this a 7.8/10.
Also, did anyone else notice the "Red Comet" restaurant in joke? Cute.

Next ep preview:
EDIT: btw, for those who have an interest in the Majestic Prince manga, the latest chapter (ch.23) shows the ASHMB demonstration (the event where Tamaki almost breaks the sound barrier above the Academy) from the students' point of view and ends with the bus salute scene.

it look like Llein is really angry + stop underestimated lamata even though he still don't like them but he was going all out from the beginning with his upgrade mech
I guess his fight against black 6 let him learn it's not game in park (fight against weak enemy) but kill or be killed situation ( fight against strong enemy)
I guess he deserved /clap since character like in anime mostly end up annoying
e.g: don't believe that they are weak because they are from noble line but have no power to back that arrogance
Tamaki..... really? how the hell did you though of your self as Team Fail ace?
too bad they don't sell the manga in Amazon kindle...

Since I don't read manga I would have never known. As for this episode it returns to the good parts although how did GDF know Klein's name? At the very least how did they know he was the one piloting his machine? It also seems like Teoria was considered simply MIA until the hacking a couple episodes back.

Question: Lamata as the Wulgara call the humans. Are Lamata body parts for them or what? They cultivated these Lamata and when they get to certain level of Civilization they cultivate them.. But is this like Vandread and they use them for body parts or something else?

The Wulgaru, OTOH, are faced with a different quandary: basically their own species' evolution has reached an impasse and they seek to significantly lengthen their own lifespans. So they devised a VERY long plan wherein they'd seed other worlds with basic Wulgaru DNA, wait for Wulgar-oids to show up and reach a certain level of biological maturity, before swooping down on them to collect the forked/mutated DNA, which will have evolved differently due to the different environment and might have new/unknown gene combinations that could hypothetically allow the Wulgaru harvesters to reach their goals: kickstart their own species' evolution back to life and get a better shot at immortality (or close to it).
Or get power-ups - maybe they want to gain greater muscle volume, faster reaction times or even ESP abilities, who knows.
Basically their philosophy is this: "we didn't find a way to modify our own DNA, in order to get our natural evolution back on tracks, so we're going to let Mother Nature figure it out for us. And when the time is right, we're going to steal her work and claim it as our own."
As for "lamata", well, it might mean something like "cattle" or "guinea pigs" for all we care. Or "genetic treasure chest". Or "designated prey".
@DuelGundam2099: it's possible Klein's been using the same, customized mech (maybe it has a unique neon lining pattern or anatomy) for years/decades, so Theoria could have recognized it from reconnaissance photos/readings provided by Simon.

Haha, Patrick's eagerness went down since Tamaki never came. Ah the power of love, it has it's downs for sure. So what will happen now? Team fight or will Izuru go Seed mode again?
Amway, another nice episode.

I was kind of hoping Asagi would engage Klein, and go seed mode, maybe next week. Izuru really shouldn't be the only person with an upgrade. Hopefully Kei's comment about Asagi's Harmonic levels being his highest ever is a clue that he'll step up to the plate more.

"...But if you're in the market for a smart phone and can afford $499, you might want to wait until June for the Apple iPhone. The Apple entry is so full of promise that anyone buying a smart phone in 2007 should at least wait for the full reviews and a chance to try it out."

An incredible video of Throbbing Gristle recording their album Heathen Earth in one take, on a Saturday night between 20.10 and 21.00 hours, on February 16th 1980. The album was recorded in front of a small audience of friends and associates, at the Industrial Records studios, and was filmed by Monte Cazazza on a single camera, with "certain visual information" included by TG.
"The soundtrack of this tape was taken independant of the 8-track audio master recording and it remains 'live' and unremixed and consequently differs from the album in some places. Like the TG sound itself, the quality and content of this recording cannot and should not be compared with conventional commercial recordings…"
Tracklisting: as provided by Genesis P-Orridge:
01. "Cornets" (that's all we ever called it on gig sheets etc, boring hey!)
02. "The Old Man Smiled" (this is a song I wrote. Originally I was messing about on my own in the Death Factory, at Martello St. I got a rhythm I liked on my COMPURYTHM drumachine. Then a fuzzed lead bass guitar sound. So I recorded it. Maybe 15 minutes or so. One section made it onto 20 Jazz Funk Greats as "Six Six Sixties" I believe. But I always wanted a longer version. So after I came up with a story telling lyric primarily about William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin in Tangiers and their stories of Captain Clark, boys etc I decided to do the NEW song on Heathen Earth. We did it live a couple of times too. At Oundle School for eg.) For Heathen Earth we used my original cassette as the basic track.
03. "After Cease To Exist" (yes, a new version for Heathen Earth)
04. "The World Is A War Film"
05. "Dreamachine" (Brion Gysin LOVED this track. Said it was best music, equal with The Master Musicians Of Jajouka to use his dreamachine. The rhythm had already existed (one of Chris Carter's gems). So I always think happy thoughts of Brion, Bachir Attar and others listening with eyes closed in Paris at his apartment opposite the Beaubourg Museum in Rue St Martin. Ah, happy daze.)
06. "Still Walking" (A permutation of 'meaningless' phrases cooked up by myself and Sleazy, that were repeated over and over as the musics rythm gave shape to the shapeless. Chris and Cosey were shy of vocals at that time. It was partly a formula to get them to begin using their voices that I suggested based on Gysin's theories and my own experiences of gaining confidence with microphones simply by using them.)
07. "Don't Do As You're Told, Do As You Think" (To be honest I think this is the weakest vocal track and lyric. Someone, a journalist or Sleazy or both suggested we should have a "positive" message! Ugh! Certainly Sleazy persuaded me to try and this is the resultant track. I still find it embarassing and wish I'd never listened to him. It would have been better as an instrumental. Ah well…)
08. "Painless Childbirth" (Named after a 10 inch vinyl album I found in a junk shop from which the voice was stolen.)
A great video of a brilliant performance by an excellent band.

We're just one sleep away, as they say, from the first game of the
2015-16 regular season new era of Sabres hockey.
How will the season shake out? Are the playoffs a possibility? I'm not sure it makes any sense to ask.
It will be a curious season, one not so much defined by the number of wins, but the incremental growth of the team and its young stars, headlined by Jack Eichel. Of course – and Jack will tell you this – we should see plenty of headlines from Evander Kane, Ryan O'Reilly, and Tyler Ennis as well. Sam Reinhart and Zemgus Girgensons could generate some surprising production against lesser NHL talent on the third line. The offense is young, and remarkably talented.
The defense is an interesting mix of youth and veteran stop gaps. The continuing emergence of Rasmus Ristolainen and Mark Pysyk will be a welcome sight as the season rolls along.
In goal, Robin Lehner will be proving to the NHL that he is the starting goaltender that Tim Murray is wagering on.
There's a lot of youth and a lot to prove here in Buffalo.
So, I'm not going to try to sell you on wins. Those W's will happen, but let's allow this group time to learn to play together under Coach Dan and against the more inveterate and finely tuned squads of the National Hockey League.
I was going to pour over my posts from last year, and remind you all just how awful it was back then, and how much better it will be – or already is – in Buffalo this year. But who the hell wants to be dragged through any of that anymore? Let's be adults, and just shoulder the burden of the past.
Let me tell you about my boy, instead. After all, he's one of the generation that is inheriting this generational team.
This morning, my son woke up eager to vote for the Sabres' goal song. His first words to me were "IT'S HOCKEY EVE!" He's got the front page of The Buffalo News' NHL preview tacked up on his wall, and will tell anyone listening that Evander Kane is going to be that Ovechkin we've always wanted (or "Ovech-chicken" as he prefers to say, since that's how he mispronounced it on his first try a couple years ago, and the joke just stuck, as fun things tend to do). He'll also mention O'Reilly and Reinhart at times, but he always goes back to Kane. Maybe because, pre-Eichel, that's where the fun started for him. Mostly because he just wants to see more goals this year. Those are also fun, or so that's what I think I remember. It's been a while.
I've been showing him clips and highlights of Eichel since the draft. I've done my due diligence as a hockey fan parent to explain what a generational talent is, how rare they are, and how lucky he is to grow up watching one. Of course, by the time I get through with the lecture, he's tuned out. He doesn't want things explained to him. He just wants the season to get started, already.
He just wants to say things like this:
"Here we go now Here we go now Here we go now Here we go now Somebody make some lunch in this joint, maaaaan" The Boy, just now. #catchy
— Scott Michalak (@ScottyMCSS) October 6, 2015
And what of that Eichel kid? Like my boy, there are so many fans out there who have no idea what it is like to watch a hockey team with this kind of talent. I'd like to describe it for you. After all, I've lived through and enjoyed the thrills of the Perreault and Hasek eras. But again, I won't bore any of you with wordy memories of thrills long gone.
If you insist on a season prediction, we'll go back to The Boy, who, even full of his own youthful exuberance, tells me that "The Sabres will win half and lose half." He says it with a shrug, as if becoming instant winners doesn't really matter. He gets it. He's going to have a lot more to cheer for this year, be it through Eichel, or any of the other "Ovech-chickens" that will keep that goal song playing all season long. He's going to have a lot more fun. And as his father reassures him, there are some great years coming our way.
The wins will come, but take The Boy's advice, and be patient. Enjoy the ride.
As for me, I'm more than satisfied with my generational part in all of this. I'm ready to sit back in my E-Z chair, looking forward to watching this team and my boy grow up together into a couple of champs. Who on this sporting earth could ask for anything more than that?
Hockey eve. This house is ready.
Go Sabres.

Artists & Projects Directory
The America Project
The America Project is a national program that stimulates critical citizenship, imagination, and civic dialogue through creative process and public engagement, placing artists in leadership roles to enlist diverse community members in exchanges that promote common purpose and visionary thinking for social change.
As envisioned by the project's founder, artist Sekou Sundiata, The America Project questions what it means to be both a citizen and an individual in the complex, hyper-kinetic society that is the United States of America today. The program places artists at the center of that investigation, and supports creative projects that bring people into a shared civic process; that are grounded in, and meaningful to, a particular community; and that effectively speak to broad audiences across the U.S. about the critical issues of our time.
In Sundiata's words, The America Project creates "a We/Ours out of I/Me/Mine in moving towards gatherings of good conscience, honest critique, and common purpose... with the hope that it will be carried forward into other gatherings, in other settings. It is both an example and a promotion of a useful democratic practice."

Rock stars and athletes aren't the only ones making a comeback this year. Cottonseed oil — once the darling of the edible oils industry — is hitting the road to promote its ability to help food processors and foodservice operators produce healthier foods free of artificial trans fats.
A new Web site launched by the National Cottonseed Products Association, CottonseedOilTour.com, takes visitors on a virtual cross-country tour of cottonseed oil success stories.
Visitors learn how their food industry peers, from chip manufacturers to ballpark concessionaires, have adopted cottonseed oil to remove trans fats, improve food quality and even boost performance.
The NCPA is the national trade association for the cottonseed processing industry.
Use of cottonseed oil for salad or cooking oils rose dramatically in 2006, nearly doubling from earlier years to 551 million pounds, notes NCPA executive vice president Ben Morgan, who attributes the growth to increased demand for oils that are stable without hydrogenation.
"We also know that numerous crushers and oil suppliers are reporting strong demand for cottonseed oil, and many are rolling out new zero-trans cooking oils made with cottonseed oil.
"New York City's decision to ban trans fats in restaurants last July has been a coup for our industry," which, he says, was left with about a 250-million pound surplus after Frito Lay converted to sunflower oil in 2006.
"We are now filling that void thanks to the efforts of our membership and oil suppliers who are reintroducing food service operators and food processors to this versatile vegetable oil, valued for its high stability and neutral flavor."
While total U.S. cotton production is estimated at 17.8 million bales in 2007-08, compared to 21.6 million bales in 2006-07, Morgan is confident that cottonseed oil will be able to help meet the demand for trans-free oils, particularly in niche markets.
"Cottonseed has long been considered the 'gold standard' oil in frying in potato chips, for instance, and it's becoming recognized as a solution for maintaining taste in zero-trans bakery products," he says, noting Dunkin' Donuts' recent switch to a cottonseed oil blend.
Cottonseed oil is one of only a few oils that are stable in the beta-prime crystal form, which promotes a smooth, workable consistency valued in the bakery and snack business.
According to Robert Reeves, president of the Institute of Shortening and Edible Oils, Washington D.C., "Cottonseed oil fits into the various ways of creating a trans-free product, including high-stability cooking or salad oils, shortenings and spreads. It can help restaurants and snack producers successfully produce trans free alternatives."
With its new campaign, NCPA aims to increase awareness among food industry professionals, as well as consumers, on the benefits of cottonseed oil.
"While demand for cottonseed oil is up, there is still much to be done," Morgan says, referring to a recent NCPA-commissioned survey of food industry professionals, a majority of which had low awareness and a limited understanding of cottonseed oil and its benefits.
"We plan to change that with the tour," he says, adding that direct mail, online advertising and public relations will round out the campaign. "We're going to have some fun."
For more information on NCPA and cottonseed oil, contact Amy Dennis or Heidi Nelson at (503) 274-0086 or visit www.cottonseedoiltour.com.

You probably never heard a mother brag, "My son, the biologist!" but maybe she should.
Job site CareerCast is out with its annual list of the most overrated and most underrated jobs for 2013, and as it turns out, biologist is one of the most underrated.
"These are jobs that most people look at and think 'eh,' when in fact they typically have a strong hiring outlook, rising salary, a fair amount of autonomy and the people who have them tend to really like them," said Tony Lee, publisher of CareerCast.
Think: That guy with the pocket protector and calculator. You weren't nearly as dazzled by him as the stockbroker in the pin-striped suit. But he is totally in demand. Boom! Underrated.
This list is, for sure, more subjective than, for example, CareerCast's best and worst jobs. But the economic recovery has provided some objective criteria for the list, Lee said.
"As the economy slowly improves, that changes how various jobs end up getting ranked—their hiring outlook improves more than another and it might move up the list, or the average salary increased," Lee said.
The housing recovery has played a part for several jobs that have seen their hiring outlook improve as the housing market improves.
And, of course, there's that little factor called supply and demand—if there aren't a lot of applicants for a particular job, the salary goes up. Or, if you're starting to see a lot of turnover on your staff, which does happen as the economy and job market improve, what's the first thing bosses try to do to keep talented employees? Raise their salary. Combine that with a job that a lot of people say "eh" about and you've got one of the most underrated jobs.
To come up with these lists, CareerCast takes a look at 200 jobs, using Labor Department and other statistics. On average, Lee said, the hiring outlook for most jobs is about 12 percent, meaning hiring is expected to increase by that much through 2020. For some of these underrated jobs, it's as high as 30 or 40 percent. What's particularly encouraging, he said, is that CareerCast has found more job openings for each one of the jobs on the list than they've seen in at least the last five years.

Are you kidding me? This is the most popular map I've made.
not kidding at all. the map simply isn't played by a lot of people.
it has just 5379 games in 450 days. that's less than what classic gets in a week.

i'm 99% sure it won't. at least not in the long run. all revamps so far have caused a temporary spike in the games created immediately after the revamp is done. but soon enough everybody realises it's just the same old map with prettier graphics and the number of games returns to normal.
basically if a map has great gameplay it will be played regardless of graphics. your map has a simple classic gameplay that doesn't make it stand out in a crowd. it's not big to fit long 8 player games, it's not small like doodle for people to play russian roullette on it. it's of average size and any normal gameplay map of average size competes with classic. and obviously loses... badly.
so i'd rather see you work on something new, something better, something different than a revamp.
