The UNIONLINE Motor Legal Service is available to GMB members and their families free of charge.

The benefits of UNIONLINE's Motor Legal Service, for GMB members and their families are:

Non fault accident
If you are involved in a non fault accident, your UNIONLINE Motor Legal Service provides a replacement vehicle, organise and handle the repairs, as well as dealing with the recovery of all losses and handling any personal injury claim (provided that your claim possesses reasonable prospects of success at all times).
Fault accident, fire & theft
If you wish to use the service instead of buying your own service, then there may be instances where a higher excess would be payable compared to if they went with their own insurers' choice of repairer. This will be detailed in your motor policy documentation.
With UNIONLINE's new free Motor Legal Service, you as a GMB member, may no longer need to purchase additional motor legal cover from your insurer (sometimes referred to as Motor Legal Expenses Insurance by your insurer).
Whilst generally Motor Legal Expense Insurance from your insurer only covers legal costs relating to non fault accidents and excludes any claims against the customer's own insurer, UNIONLINE can help, regardless of the circumstances of the claim – be it theft, fault, non fault etc…
The service is available 24/7, 365 days per year. The main claims handling times are available from 8am to 7pm weekdays and 9am to 1pm Saturdays.
Outside of these hours, an emergency service operates which can assist you with vehicle recovery in the event of an accident, so you will not be left stranded. Please note vehicle recovery arranged under the scheme will be chargeable to the member but should be recoverable from a comprehensive insurance policy or the person responsible for the accident.
The UNIONLINE Motor Claims Service is operated on behalf of Unionline by Lexelle Ltd – a specialist insurance and accident claims management business authorised and regulated the Financial Conduct Authority (312782) and the Ministry of Justice (CRM3909).

I've just started using Terminal and am very pleased with it. However, I like to have eight tabs open and would like to invoke it so. Other term-ems allow this, e.g. 'sakura -n 8' gets eight tabs. Problem with sakura is the tabs are all the same colour, can't tell where you are.
The Terminal manpage doesn't list this option. Seems a pity; it's the only feature I'm REALLY wanting on what is otherwise my term-em of choice. Can it be done, or could it be added?
This seems to work here (xfce4-terminal 0.6.1 (Xfce 4.10)):
xfce4-terminal --tab --tab --tab --tab --tab --tab --tab

I am wondering if you could explain how you make the assets with transparent backgrounds? For example, I have a black and white photo of my daughters footprints that I want to 'omit' the white part and be able to drop just the footprints on a page. In Microsoft Publisher they have a "Set Transparent Color" tool where you simple click on what color you want to omit. Is there any feature like this in Photoshop?
You are hereForums › Software Specific › Photoshop and Photoshop Elements › Making an object with a transparent background
Making an object with a transparent background
It's hard to know exactly wich way that will works best cause it all depends on the photo But open a new file and set that to transparent Import your picture to it and then it begins
This could work: LINK
Ok-I'm the definition of 'beginner' with Photoshop I think I've figured out how to make the background transparent, and then I put my photo on as a 2nd layer and used the magic eraser to omit the background colors from that layer, keeping only what I want. My problem arises when I try to save it and place it on my page. It shows up with either a black or a white box around it. I don't know how to save it so that goes away.
Save it as .png The backround on your picture should be all grey/white chequered befor you save it
It worked! Another online tutorial I was looking at said to save it as a GIF file-clearly that wasn't working! Thank you so much for your help Jessica!
Oh great I'm just happy to help
Thanks for the tip - am a beginner in Photoshop - have just trie - and it works!
Have you considered creating a layer mask? You select the object, click on the layer mask icon and it removes the back ground. The advantage over the removal of the background over using the eraser tool is that you can refine the selected area.
A Hint when removing something. Duplicate the layer. Hide the original layer. This way if it does not turn out the way you want you can duplicate the layer again and start again.
Thanks for the advice Judy!
I am so much of a beginner with photoshop that I don't even understand what you are explaining! lol! But I am eagerly trying to learn and figure out how to use it! Every little piece of advice will help along the way!
Here are a couple of different tutorials that may help.
This one is for Photoshop Elements
You might try using the magic eraser tool. It is hidden under the regular eraser, it's the bottom one, the eraser with the star over it. Sometimes you get really lucky and it removes all the background in one click and other times you have to click a few times or increase/decrease the tolerance (which is located on the upper tool bar). I use it all the time with good results. If it gets messy, you might try converting the image to a true black and white (Image>Adjustments>Black&White) to give Photoshop a more crisp edge in determining what to cut and what to leave.
I also put a layer under the original image of a vivid color so that as I begin extracting the background I can easily see any stray pixels that remain in the background that need to be erased.
Good luck!
Edited to add: Also, after you remove the background pixels, if you put a stroke around it, it will really show up the stray pixels. Then you an go back and removed the stroke after you get things cleaned up. I'm always surprised when I add the stroke how many strays there were that I couldn't see.
That's some great advice Tina. The first time I tried this I did have quite a few of those stray pixels when I put my picture on my page! I had to go back and erase them but it was really hard to see if I had them all- I will definitely try your ideas next time thanks for the tutorial links Judy- I look forward to watching them! This may be a dumb question but I have a PC not a Mac, will these instructions be quite a bit different for me? Sometimes I can't even find the buttons these tutorials are talking about- perhaps because they are intended for PS Mac?
If you zoom into your work area before starting it does make it easier to she what you are erasing.

For the mayonnaise: In a blender, combine all ingredients and process until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Store covered in the refrigerator until ready to use.
For the fries: Heat oven to 200 degrees F. In a large cast iron skillet, pan, or Dutch oven, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F.
Meanwhile, peel sweet potatoes and cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch planks. Cut planks lengthwise into 1/2-inch strips. Place strips in hot water with vinegar while oil finishes heating. Line a plate with paper towels and set aside.
When oil is heated, drain fries and thoroughly pat dry with paper towels. Add 1/3 of fries to oil and cook until browned and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove fries to paper towels with a slotted spoon and season immediately with kosher salt. Return oil to 350 degrees F and repeat with remaining fries. Hold in oven until fish is ready.
For the fish: Skim oil to clean then return to stove over medium-high and bring to 350 degrees F. Pat fish dry with paper towels then cut into 1/2-inch strips; set aside. In a large bowl whisk together flour, salt, cayenne, and pepper well combined. Add club soda and whisk briefly until a batter is formed (there may be a few lumps left. Place all fish in batter and mix to coat thoroughly. Remove 8 pieces of fish from batter, shake off excess batter, and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden and fish is just cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes. (To test if fish is cooked, break open 1 piece and make sure meat is white throughout.) Transfer fish with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Return oil to 350 degrees F and repeat with remaining fish. Serve immediately with fries and mayonnaise.

Ah, sure, but I personally use kickstart at home as well, where I run a cluster that is extremely inhomogeneous, as it consists of whatever hardware I've bought, per year, over the last umpty years. There is "professional cluster" -- a big server room where your point is absolutely correct. There is "learning cluster" where it may well not be correct -- these are the ones I advise e.g. high school students who are often using leftover networking parts and old computers. Then there are "personal/development clusters" like my home cluster, which is basically a notch up from a learning cluster but way short of a true pro-grade production cluster. And even pro-grade production clusters exist (usually) in an organization-wide LAN, where the ultimate endpoint is a user's desktop or laptop. Sure, these aren't always kickstart installed but life is a lot easier in most environments if they are. Ultimately, a cluster is just a specialized LAN and very similar tools function for scalable LAN installation, maintenance, and management and for cluster installation, maintenance and management. The primary differences are only in the selection of packages, as there are cluster designs where the cluster IS all the desktops in an ordinary LAN, and in a LAN where everybody is just browsing the web, reading mail and so on such a LAN permits one to recover a huge number of otherwise wasted cycles for zero marginal cost. >> and checkpointing of some sort on the script(s) that finish off the system, >> so that if a particular package crashes the install one can just remove it >> from the list and restart the package list install to pick up where it left >> off and deal with the missing piece later > > I think that this is a limitation in updating the RPM database; you make a > transaction with a set of packages which has to have dependencies satisfied; > if you want to eliminate one package you need to recompute the package set, > as removing that one might remove many others pulled in through dependencies > trees - so it's not so easily checkpointable. I agree, but yum has a plugin now called "skip-broken" that can manage all of that in real-time. It is, however, a plugin and would need to be installed before running the second-pass yum, and there is still the issue of documenting it and being able to deal with it. As always, I'm thinking of a specific case where I was installing at home from a freshly created mirror (so I didn't have to squeeze five or six installs through a small pipe -- it is much faster to squeeze one mirror, then do the five or six installs, then maybe update locally, and faster still to just carry my laptop to Duke and do installs there on a gigibit backbone:-). One of the mirrored packages was broken with respect to the repo dependencies, and it was a total pain to fix. And of course I had to do 2-3 installs to get one to come out right. skip-broken and protectbase plugins are pretty much a walking, talking solution to most of the real evil that can occur here, but they do rely on the soon-come two pass install to be useful in the general installation cycle. >> Of course this requires a binary and configurational standard at LEAST >> through the base install (the kernel, glibc, /etc layout, more base-class >> libraries). > > ... and packaging.

And that's where a big problem > lies... I agree, no question about it. For a while yum and rpm and apt persons where talking and working a bit on seeing if they could come up with a universal and sharable scheme here. These are the Forces of Good I was referring to. However, I'm not in touch with how much progress they've made with it. Packaging has room for infinite evil -- dependency loops or worse -- and often that evil creeps in in spite of distro managers and testing processes designed to keep them out. 8 to 20 thousand packages, all contributed by and maintained by volunteers, some of them obsolete, some of the functional "by accident" but subject to revealed bugs as stuff changes around it. It is really like the dancing bears: It isn't how gracefully they dance that is amazing, but that they dance at all...;-) rgb > > -- Robert G.

Is it just me or is he now entering go-to status on this team?
The speed is no secret to anyone in this league anymore and it's what puts him on the highlight reel just about every week; I'm talking about his overall performance and impact in games.
Not every catch is the cleanest, but I'd have to say he's got above average hands and he's never shown me reason to be concerned with his ability to outright "just catch the ball" (unlike Sweed).
The past couple of weeks the announcers and anyone who pays attention have noticed more than a few of his routes are opening up underneath now and he seems game to go over the middle; which in time will only enhance the dynamic he brings to the game as defenders can now not only lay off and start giving ground at the snap.
I've not heard a single issue of the kid not working hard, never heard him whine for not getting an extra ball or two thrown his way, he seems to know and understand his role. Ben seems to unafraid to look his way in clutch moments which can only build on that confidence.
Last night he BATTLED for the ball, made adjustments on the ball while in the air (that pass by ARE SHOULD have been intercepted but MW just did everything right.
My question to the nation is this, I've been so focused on the OL in the run game I've not really paid attention to his efforts blocking in the run game can anyone provide some insight there?
No disrespect to Harrison whom I saw won a vast majority of the Ironman votes for last night and deservedly so, I just cannot look past what this kid means to the team and how bright his future is.
I'm drinking the kool-aid and my glass is full!

We've been so busy around here that we forgot our own Mobile Nations roving reporter Simon Sage managed to get some one on one time with the Samsung ATIV S (see our camera samples from earlier). The ATIV S is headed to Rogers in Canada, among a few other lucky networks (no such luck here in the States, at least so far).
The video is fun to watch only because you can get to peep how big that 4.8" screen is and how great it looks in AMOLED. Throw in that super thin body, a massive 2300 mAh battery, 32GB of storage, memory expansion and yeah, we're wanting to play with one. It's also interesting to note that you can turn the phone on via the physical Win key--the only Windows Phone 8 device with such a configuration--kudos to Sammy for that one. Too bad we can't think of a way for Nokia or HTC to do the same and keep their slick designs. Can't have it all!
Other than that most of the video is just a tour of Windows Phone 8, which many of you should be familiar with by now.

Hotels in Kristiansand
Calling all outdoor lovers! Beautiful Kristiansand is the perfect destination for a short trip with its wonderful nature and vibrant city life. Lying in the heart of the city close to cultural attractions, great shopping and delicious fish restaurants is the exclusive Radisson Blu Caledonien Hotel. Let the expert staff there help you plan sea cruises, fishing trips and hiking like you've never experienced before!
Kristiansand and the surrounding area is aptly referred to as the festival region. The city is home to all manner of music festivals, short film festivals, children's festivals and puppet theatre festivals. It was recently voted the best cultural city in Norway due to its strategic work in developing such an broad spectrum of cultural activities. The new concert and theatre house, Kilden, opened in 2012 and audiences have since been flocking to its concerts and other performances. Kilden offers all aspects of culture, such as pop, rock and stand-up in addition to theatre, classical music and opera.
Dyrepark is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Norway, with more than 600,000 visitors a year. The park has animals from all over the world, as well as numerous other activities for adults and children.
Kristiansand is a multicultural and open city with as many as 135 nations being represented. The increasing demand for labour has led to a rise in immigration and several major companies both from Norway and abroad have offices here. Outdoor clothing manufacturer Stormberg has its head office here, as does Hennig Olsen Is. The company started in the back room of a kiosk in 1924. Sven Hennig-Olsen had brought recipes and ice cream making equipment back from Chicago. The son led the company from a business in the basement to become one of Scandinavia's leading ice cream manufacturers and Paal Hennig-Olsen, third generation ice cream manufacturer, now heads one of Norway's few surviving privately owned companies in the food industry. The company currently has approx. 250 FTEs.
Kristiansand has plenty to offer and even if the city is predominantly a summer city, there is also plenty to do there in the winter. Winter in Kristiansand has its own charm and may surprise you with activities you didn't expect to find here. Visit Kristiansand and get a nice surprise!
As well as being an exciting shopping street, Marken is also the main artery of the city. It goes from the lake, across the city and up to the forest. The square in the centre of Markens is full of fruit and veg stalls bulging with fresh fruit and gorgeous fresh vegetables. The surrounding area offers a great selection of small and large shops. At the top of Markens is Slottsquartelet, an exciting fashion store at the end of the pedestrian mall. The centre contains dozens of beautiful shops, including fashion retailer Høyer, Olivia's Hus and HM Home og Herre. This part of town also has an excellent collection of children's clothing stores. The side streets off Markens contain several interesting boutiques. Skippergata is particularly good with its mix of interiors, clothes and shoes, cosy cafés and florists, to name but a few.
Kristiansand's city centre is known as Kvadraturen and in the corner of Kvadraturen is Posebyen. This is Northern Europe's biggest collection of single-storey, wooden terraced houses from the 1700 and 1800s. Every Saturday, local artists and arts and crafts enthusiasts put up their stalls in the streets here at Poseby market. Don't miss the interesting arts and crafts sold here. It's a great place to hunt for treasure, antiques and delicious food. Poseby market is located between Kristian IV's street and Kronsprinsens street.
The Kristiansand region's numerous shopping opportunities attract shopaholics from all over Agder, and indeed the whole country. That's because you will find most things here, from international chain stores to gorgeous niche boutiques. Perhaps you're looking for something in particular? Or just window shopping? Or perhaps it's just the excitement of finding small local shops that awakens the shopaholic in you? Regardless of what you're looking for, you'll probably find it in Kristiansand.
Dyreparken and Sabeltanns Verden are probably the best known attractions and a must-see on a trip to Kristiansand. Dyreparken is open daily and is a fun and educational place. Here you can see otters, meerkats, lynx and orangutans, lions and giraffes and many, many more. This is where Julius grew up and you can learn all about how the animals live, or join in at feeding time and maybe even stroke a goat or two? In the winter the Nordisk Villmark area is particularly exciting and a perfect experience for all the family.
In Captain Sabertooth's Kingdom you will experience a real Caribbean pirate village with a pirate fort and market square. The pirates hide around every corner, and maybe you will even see Captain Sabertooth himself!
Kardemomme town is a true copy of Torbjørn Egner's original and here dolls Tante Sofie, Kasper, Jesper and Jonatan, Chief of Police Bastian and Tobias will appear when you least expect them. The town also has a working tram identical to the one in the book and Tram Driver Syversen who drives it. You can also send a letter or postcard from here, because Kardemomme town has its own fully functional post office, with post code 4609 Kardemomme by.
Kilden is Kristiansand's latest venue, which accommodates Agder Theatre, the Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra and Opera Sør. With numerous exciting performances all year round, it's the perfect place for a cultural top-up. Enter the world of Prøysen, be seduced by Tosca or take the kids to see Putti Plutti Plott. Kilden has a wealth of experiences waiting for you.
Radisson Blu Caledonien Hotel is perfectly located for exploring all that Kristiansand has to offer. Just a short walk away and beside the Christiansholm fortress is Tresse, a recreational area with a park, play area and basket ball court. In the winter season from December to mid-March, join the skaters and dance across the ice right in the heart of the city, the sea wind in you hair.
At Bystranda in Kristiansand lies Aquarama, a fantastic new waterpark where children can have fun in the water and the adults can enjoy being big kids again. With plenty of pools to choose from, all with different water temperatures, and water slides, islands, rock pools and surf waves, Aquarama is the city's main activity centre.
From the end of November, the hotel's traditional Christmas buffet with dishes full of both hot and cold Christmas fare, is served in the Caledonian Hall. The hotel's band with vocalist Pål Rake, known from summer concerts at Fiskebrygga, provides the entertainment.
Kristiansand has its own brewery, Brygghus and around the Fiskebryggen area restaurants are packed close together making it easy to find your favourite.
One of the best restaurants in the South is located in Fiskebryggen in Kristiansand. The restaurant is on the sunny side of the street and sheltered from the wind, surrounded by pretty piers and cosy wooden houses. Bølgen & Moi Kristiansand serves excellent food with wine that goes perfectly with your dish. At the restaurant, Kjell Nupen, one of the country's best-known artists has provided art for the walls, decor in the kitchen and a spectacular glass painting. Bølgen & Moi serves food al fresco on the quay and a more luxurious meal inside.
Gastropub KICK Malt & Mat in Dronningensgate has a simple philosophy: Genuine handiwork equals authentic flavours. The gastropub concept comes from England and is the term given to a pub specialising in serving quality food. At KICK Malt & Mat you can choose from the day's special, a 3-course gastropub meal and delicious burgers, as well as fish, meat, soups and salads - all at reasonable prices. Every dish that leaves the gastropub's talented kitchen contains the market's best and freshest ingredients. Premium beef is minced daily and grilled dishes such as spare ribs and steak are beautifully prepared at KICKs Josper charcoal grill. Burgers are served in home-baked buns with home-made ketchup. Beer is a staple at KICK Malt & Mat and the pub serves over 20 different types of draft beer. Most of them are British, but you will also find Norwegian and international beers alongside those from microbreweries. Kick has its own stage for concerts and various entertainment, as well as a nightclub.
Now Kristiansand has its own brewery - in the heart of the city. Here beer from its own microbrewery is brewed using the brewery's own recipes. The brewer often fills his kegs with new and exciting beer types. Christianssand Brygghus serves freshly brewed beer by the glass and generous portions of food on your plate. Brygghuset is a place where excellent food and a good beer culture is the focus. The kitchen prepares most of its food on a charcoal grill and the menu is seasonal and based on what local suppliers can offer.
The Kilden cultural venue delivers first-class concert and theatre performances in a building whose architecture is also stunning.

Champions of Krynn (PC) review
"The AD&D Gold Box games never evolved terribly much, but on the other hand, they never did anything too wrong, either. And though the Krynn series moved to a different continent, you really have more of the same. You have a new race and moon phase-dependent magic classes, and some new monster names and character classes. There's a tricky end series it's hard to turn back from, but all in all it's a comfortably little game you should be confident you can plug-and-chug through. It's great to feel ..."
Community review by aschultz (April 07, 2009)
Andrew Schultz used to write a lot of reviews and game guides but made the transition to writing games a while back. He still comes back, wiser and more forgiving of design errors, to write about games he loved, or appreciates more, now.

The impressive elm tree in front of Arthur Negus Fuller's (1879-1945) studio, the Little Brown House, dwarfs the lone figure of a woman walking down Albany Road in Deerfield, Massachusetts. Arthur was the youngest son of George and Agnes (Higginson) Fuller of Deerfield, Massachusetts. In 1919, he bought a printing press with his brother, Henry, for their shared Boston studio, and in 1920, they bought a second press for their studio at the Little Brown House. Arthur's first intaglio etchings date from this time. His earliest intaglio, or colored, etchings were printed with a single pass through the press. Fuller accomplished this by first inking the lines on the copper plate, wiping off the excess, then lightly daubing ink where he wanted color, using the tip of a twisted cloth, à la poupée. Consequently, each intaglio print in an edition is slightly differently from the next.

Narrowing the ANSI Contrast Performance Gap
Evan Powell — Sep 30, 2008
The review of the Sanyo Z700 has just been posted. Don't miss this one if you are looking for 1080p at a rock bottom price. As we did last year, the reviews of this year's 1080p models will be posted, initially, without the 5-star ratings. We want to be able to do some shootouts before making final 5-star rating assessments.more
No Star Assesments Just Yet
Evan Powell — Sep 29, 2008
Well, we were able to get the Sanyo Z60 review posted last week, but I decided to hold the Z700 review until tomorrow. The reason is that we have received the Mitsubishi HC7000, and the Panasonic AE3000 is arriving today. Since we have the opportunity, we want to see these units side by side before publishing any comments.more
Gaming and Projectors
Evan Powell — Sep 22, 2008
We currently have the newest Sanyo units, the Z700 and the Z60, in the review process. We will get them both posted this week. Following those, if the review units arrived on schedule, will be the Mitsubishi HC7000 to be posted next week, and the Panasonic AE3000 will be the week after.more
CEDIA Wrap Up
Evan Powell — Sep 9, 2008
The CEDIA trade show has wrapped up for another year, and our review of the show has just been posted. Fascinating things appeared at this show. The big competitive battle this fall between LCD and DLP will be in the area of ANSI contrast. The latest LCD products are showing contrast potential that nobody ever thought would be possible with LCD. We are anxious to get our hands on some of these new high contrast models to see what they can really do. We are working with the vendors to schedule the delivery of review samples of all of the latest releases.more

markowen needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 74 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
Designer Avenue
We are an online high end designer fashion outlet selling authentic, last season collections from well known high end European designer labels at a heavily reduced rate.
We are a young female team who are selling high end designer products such as Prada, Gucci, Tiffany & Co, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Versace etc. from last season's collections at a reduced rate. The majority of people can not afford such expensive products at full retail price, our objective is to make these items very affordable for them.
We are a young and enthusiastic new business, targeting mostly females, although, we do sell a few men's products as well. We will be selling everything including: shirts, handbags, purses, wallets, cologne & purfume, jeans, keyrings etc.
We would like our logo to fun, yet professional at the same time, as to inspire our customers with confidence when shopping on our website.
Our business name "Designer Avenue" must be featured in the logo design with your choice of also using the by-line "Australia's Largest Designer Outlet".
Some ideas we had were: the use of soft pastal colours which would appeal to other females; the use of a street sign in the logo with a Rodeo Drive feel / setting in the background and maybe a woman with a handbag prancing along the street.
Our logo must be classy, designer, chic, fun, playful (but not childish) & professional. These are just some of our thoughts, but we will leave it to the experts as we are open to your suggestions and ideas.

ST. LOUIS — U.S. corn growers may surpass last year's record production despite lesser acreage devoted to the grain, but corn prices later in the year could be lower, a federal report forecast said Friday.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's first World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report of the year envisions the nation's farmers producing 13.9 billion bushels of corn this year, up slightly from last year's record.
Higher yields are expected to offset the lesser acreage devoted to corn, according to the closely watched report, which estimated farmers would harvest 165.3 bushels of corn per acre, up 6.5 bushels from the previous year. Corn acreage is expected to be 91.7 million acres, down from 95.4 million acres.
But the season-average price for corn was forecast to be lower at a range of $3.85 and $4.55 per bushel, down from $4.50 to $4.80 a year earlier.
U.S. soybean production also is expected to be high, increasing by 346 million bushels to reach a record 3.64 billion bushels. A big part of the reason: The USDA expects farmers will plant 81.5 million acres of the crop, 5 million acres more than last year.

If the All-Star voting closed today, Marlins second baseball Dee Gordon and right fielder Giancarlo Stanton would be starting for the National League.
Gordon leads NL second basemen with 934,249 votes from the fans, a healthy margin over Kolten Wong of the St. Louis Cardinals (582,238).
Stanton ranks third among NL outfielders, which would put him in a starting role for the July 14 Midsummer Classic at Cincinnati's Great American Ball Park. Stanton has 746,926 votes, trailing the Washington Nationals' Bryce Harper (1,116,582) and the Cardinals' Matt Holliday (979,008).
Harper's total is the most of any National League player.

timhaines needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 19 designs submitted by 5 freelance designers.
I've built a game that teaches people how to read katakana and hiragana. It works well, and I've tried making it look nice, but I'm a programmer, so I can either make it look crap or shite. Preferably, I'd like it looking ace. Will this be your first iPhone app design?
Design the 480 x 160 screen with 4 states:
State 1) Game first loads and it doesn't show and answer feedback.
State 2) Player has put in an incorrect answer, and the correct answer is shown as feedback (pictured in my screenshot)
State 3) Player has put in a correct answer - game should show 'Yes' or something to indicate the player entered the correct kana.
State 4) the user has entered the correct answer, and also leveled up. I mentioned I'm currently using a yellow star on the left to indicate this.
See the screenshot at http://ims.co.nz/default.png which shows state 2, the incorrect state
There will likely be future work awarded (game icon and loading screen + next game) to the designer who wins this competition.
Please read the brief and see my comment(s) below to get an understanding of how the game works. If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch I can supply you with a copy of the game.
I need a complete redesign to make this game look awesome. You can see a copy of my work in progress here: screenshot
Here's the shown game features
- The keyboard is fixed. We can't change those. This leaves a workable area of 480x160 pixels- Under the spotlight is katakana symbol, in bold black. This is shown to the player. They need to use the keyboard to type in the english translation of this katakana. After they press return, the result is shown and the textbox is cleared
- If they get the answer incorrect, then the correct translation is shown on the right in a red background (or something to indicate the answer is wrong). I also show what the user typed. I've considered turning this in to a button which shows the stats/clues page (see below)
- If they get the answer correct, then the word Yes! is shown, perhaps with a green background.
- The current level and score are shown at the top.
- In the top right there's a button that offers to start a new game. This isn't very clear at the moment. Clicking the button shows a standard iphone overlay which I don't need a design for.
- In the top left, the % complete is shown, which also doubles as a button to show stats. This also isn't very clear at the moment. The stats are shown on a new screen, which I don't need a design for. At first, this button also had a word next to it. I tried switching between 'Progress', 'Stats', and 'Learnt', and in the end I removed the words. If you want to put one in again, that would be fine.
- At the moment, when the player level's up, I show a big yellow star with the words 'Level Up!' in the empty space in the left.That's all there is to the play surface of the game. Feel free to start from a blank slate, and design it however you like. Alpha channel pngs are all good if you'd like to use those.
- Possibly keep the katakana symbol and the textbox in the center screen (horizontally), as that will be the main point of focus. I've tried moving it to different positions, and it makes game play a little awkward.
- I'd like for each element (asset?) of the screen design to be delivered as independent png's that I can slightly tweak (reposition, resize etc) in fireworks - preferably with layers? I'm a fireworks newb, but I can do the basic resizing, moving, rotating etc.

According to Fujitsu, a global growth inhibitor for digital transformation is the lack of sufficient talented staff with the right skills. Fujitsu is countering this – to both better enable its customers, and as part of its own ongoing process of digital transformation – by focusing on building and retaining a skilled workforce that reflects the diversity of its customers and society as a whole. At the same time, Fujitsu places an emphasis on maintaining the atmosphere of mutual respect, trust and communication that is proven to be essential to effective teamwork.
To ensure that Fujitsu provides a truly diverse and inclusive workplace, Steven Cox will identify and evaluate diversity best practices in private sector companies, third sector (voluntary and community) organizations and academic institutions. Cox will focus on topics including gender and sexual orientation, ethnicity and religion, disability and the ageing workforce. A key element of his remit is to identify leaders in the emerging sectors of robotic process automation (RPA) and artificial intelligence (AI), and determine how they are successful – in the context of different cultures, geographies and markets – in reconciling the requirements of increased automation with genuine workplace diversity. Cox's findings will form the basis of a new worldwide Fujitsu Diversity and Inclusion program.
Duncan Tait, SEVP, Head of EMEIA and the Americas at Fujitsu, comments: "Fujitsu is a long-term advocate of diversity in the workforce, and with the appointment of Steven Cox as Diversity and Inclusion ambassador, we are placing this issue firmly at the center of our organization. To continue to provide world-class service to our customers, and to stay at the forefront of technology innovation, we are wholly committed to creating an inclusive work environment in which every employee - irrespective of their age, gender, ethnic origin, race, religious belief, sexual orientation, disability or marital status – can contribute and thrive. As an indication of the importance we place on operating as an ethical and responsible business, we have asked Steven to thoroughly investigate this field and to drive the development of our own world-class diversity and inclusion program."
Steven Cox, Diversity and Inclusion Ambassador for Fujitsu, says: "Having a diverse workforce and an inclusive workplace is good for business and for the people working there. Digital transformation and in particular automation and artificial intelligence are set to change the way we work, which will affect future workplace cultures as well as workforce expectations. Excellence in diversity and inclusion enables the attraction and retention of the very best talent for that future – by ensuring a focus on bringing out the best in people, regardless of religious beliefs or cultural backgrounds, physical capabilities or sexual orientation. In this pioneering new role I am looking forward to working with exemplar companies, institutions and academics to develop insights that will be mutually beneficial and invite them to engage with us to do so."
Fujitsu is the leading Japanese information and communication technology (ICT) company offering a full range of technology products, solutions and services. Approximately 156,000 Fujitsu people support customers in more than 100 countries. We use our experience and the power of ICT to shape the future of society with our customers. Fujitsu Limited (TSE: 6702) reported consolidated revenues of 4.7 trillion yen (US$41 billion) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016. For more information, please see http://www.fujitsu.com.

Top 20 Hottest Holiday Gifts for Photographers for $50 or Less: Shopper's Guide
(Not quite 20 anymore – as we tried to remove older products that are not available anymore)
Hanukkah and Christmas are coming. If you are looking to buy your photographer friends or relatives gifts this holiday season, but cannot quite afford to get them each a new Canon SLR or a shiny new professional series L Lens, you will love these fun, creative ideas! If you are a photographer, make sure to "share" a link to this post so you can get some of these fun goodies too! Make sure to SHARE this post on Facebook and Twitter if you enjoyed it, and to leave a comment letting us know your favorite item on the list. Mine is the lens mug, but there are a bunch of close 2nds.
Lens Mug: While it might not be as good as the "real thing," photographers need caffeine! And what better way to drink it than in a lens. These make amazing gifts and work well for both beverages and as pen and pencil holders, which is how I use mine.
MCP Actions e-Gift Cards: Want the perfect, paperless gift? How about giving some Photoshop actions, Lightroom Presets, or Photoshop online training to a photographer this holiday season? Since you may not know exactly what is on their wish lists, an e-Gift Card is perfect! Available in $25, $50 and more… (cannot mention those other denominations since the title is $50 or less…)
Designer Camera Straps: These new Mod camera straps by jill-e designs are fun and functional. Lots of others to choose from too.
Lens Bracelets: A whole new twist on manual focus. Instead of adjusting focus, you get to wear these replica focusing rings on your wrist!
What the Duck Cartoon Book for Photographers: This book is perfect for those who love to laugh and enjoy taking pictures. Both hobbyist and professional photographers will find humor in these duck photographer cartoons. At this price, it makes for a great stocking stuffer.
Camera Necklace: How fun is this old time camera necklace? I love it. Simple, cute and affordable.
Camera Cufflinks: What a fun gift for the male photographer. Great for the wedding photographer that has to get dressed up to shoot.
Camera Dial Cufflinks: These are equally as fun and slightly more casual cufflinks for the male photographer.
Cell Photo Wide Angle Lens, Fish Eye, Telephoto and Macro Lenses: You know you want more flexibility when you are on the go. These cell phone lens attachments are super fun, creative and make a great gift.
Vintage Camera Bookends: These are just sweet! I would love something like this for my office. Hint, hint… And while on the topic, I have always wanted an old fashion vintage camera to display. Lots of these on eBay.
The Gift of Time!: The most valuable thing I can think of is time. We never have enough of it. Autoloader is a program that works inside Photoshop CS3, CS4, or CS5, and I use it to batch edit my images. You have to use it to truly understand. But it is a great gift for any Photoshop enthusiast who spends too much time editing! See a video tutorial of how it works and how I use it.
Wooden Digital Frame: You take beautiful pictures. Why not display them in a digital picture frame?
Photo-opoly: This gift can go both ways. Buy it for a photographer OR photographers, you can buy it, fill it in and give it as a completed game to your friends and family. If you love Monopoly, you will cherish this even more.
Understanding Exposure: This classic book by author Bryan Petersen is a MUST HAVE introduction to photography. If you have a new photographer on your holiday shopping list (or if you are one), you need this book!
Personal GPS Location Finder: As a photographer, do you ever wander from place to place, only to realize you are lost? Bushnell's personal GPS location finder will help you find your way back to where you started. So now you can roam wherever you want, check out new locations, and find new areas to shoot…and still make it back.
And lastly … this one does not cost you anything! Our free Photoshop actions and Lightroom presets. Enjoy!

Fantasy Musings on Dumb Mistakes We Won't Repeat for the Third Time
There, at the top of our list, was Johan Santana. Having made the transition the year before from the bullpen to the rotation with aplomb, we had the 25 year-old hurler in our sights as our top pick after the keepers were tucked away.
(Yes, that's how you managed your keeper lists in Yahoo in 2004. We've come a long way baby.)
But in the moments before the draft, we were struck with a sudden panic over the next name on our list: Kaz Matsui. Would he make it back to us? We'd have 19 picks after Johan to get him, and we couldn't imagine him lasting that long. Who could resist this new demi-god of Japanese baseball excellence? The New Ichiro! The thought of seeing Matsui put up a decade of high-average, high-steal, high-run totals with a little bit of power mixed in at a premium position like shortstop (seriously!), and to have passed over all of that goodness? How could we have lived with ourself?
And besides: It's not like everyone knew about Johan Santana, right? We'd have a good shot at getting him in the next round...wouldn't we?
As our moment on the board came up, we confidently selected future All-Star, Hall of Famer, Gold Glove, Silver Slugger and Bronze Spikes winner Kaz Matsui.
And with the very next pick, our pal Darren selected Johan Santana. And he's kept him ever since.
We spent much of that season staring on in disbelief as Santana went on to win the Cy Young (and Darren went on to win the league), while Matsui would fumble his way through 114 games to the tune of a 0.4 WAR. (We didn't know what WAR was then, but there were plenty of conventional metrics that convinced us to toss Matsui to the scrap heap before the season was out.)
And as a result of such a folly, we saw our team fall back from a second place finish the previous year to a fourth place finish in 2004.
We should have learned our lesson. But somewhere along the line, the pain that we felt in that season would cease to seem tragic in our memory of it, and came of more as a farcical anecdote. And so, somewhere in the early-middle rounds of a 2008 draft, we found ourself jumping ahead on our list and grabbing the brand-new, can't-miss Japanese phenom, Kosuke Fukudome.
Once again, Fukudome didn't last much more than half a season on our roster before we tossed him asunder, probably in favour of one of the game's true greats...like Ryan Langerhans or Austin Kearns. Whoever it was, they helped lead us to an inauspicious ninth place finish (out of ten teams) that year.
All this is prologue to one immutable law of our fantasy baseball draft season: We will not draft Twins newcomer Tsuyoshi Nishioka. No matter how many great things we hear about him, of how he'll fit perfectly in the lineup between Denard Span and Joe Mauer, and will in all likelihood score 200 runs without really trying this year, he will not find respite on our roto rosters.
When it comes to fantasy baseball, our road to abrogation generally starts with the selection of a first year position player from Japan.

Actually, I gave up Santana for that shortstop who plays for Florida a couple seasons ago.

This theory can probably be applied to all prospects/young studs.
My first non keeper pick a couple years ago was Chris Davis, after he had that sensational half of a season, then my next pick was Jay Bruce. Because it's a keeper league people tend to think "I'll be able to keep this guys for 10 years" when making selections, then often that player is waived at some point during the season after killing your team in several categories.

I am debating whether or not to slap a keep tag on Matt Weiters. I assume it would be stupid, but such promise!
- March 10, 2011 at 4:31 PM
It's interesting that you're allowing YOUR past mistakes to cloud your judgment going forward. There will be other Japanese players worth drafting in the future and if you keep this strategy of blaming over-hyping instead of your poor judgment you will miss out on them.
The reason Matsui didn't work out for you was not that he wasn't worth drafting, it's that you didn't even follow your own draft board when it came down to it.
Trust your rankings if you've done your homework and don't be afraid to take the next Matsui or Ichiro AFTER you take the next Santana.

Earl Clark, combo forward
HT: 6-10 WT: 225 COLLEGE: Louisville AGE: Turns 24 on Jan. 17, 2012 NBA SEASONS: 2011-12 is his third. TWITTER HANDLE: @3eaZy HOW HE CAME TO ORLANDO: Traded from the Phoenix Suns with Earl Clark and Hedo Turkoglu for Vince Carter, Marcin Gortat, Mickael Pietrus, a 2012-first-round pick and cash on Dec. 18, 2010. . . . Re-signed with the Magic for two seasons on Dec. 15, 2011. SCOUTING REPORT:Magic coach Stan Van Gundy raves about Clark's potential as a defender. Van Gundy loves Clark's quick feet and long arms and has said he will try to play Clark off the bench against some opponents' top scorers -- guys such as Kevin Durant, LeBron James and Paul Pierce. That said, Clark doesn't have much experience in crucial situations, and Van Gundy has been reluctant to use him in key spots in the past. Clark is a "tweener": He doesn't have the bulk right now to be a power forward, and he doesn't have the refined offensive game to fit in offensively as a small forward. Still, Clark says he would embrace the role as a defensive stopper. ODDS & ENDS: Clark was born in Newark, N.J., and he has said New Jersey is his favorite travel destination. . . . He says his mom, Brenda Clark, had the biggest impact on his athletic career. . . . When he was a child, he pretended to be Allen Iverson. Click here to see our Earl Clark photo gallery

New Dog Shower at Crissy Field
Post general kiteboarding discussion topics here!
Moderator: BayAreaKite
Re: New Dog Shower at Crissy Field
Cuteness must be a factor in SFBA's feasibility studies because that picture is adorable
Re: New Dog Shower at Crissy Field
What improvements are needed and what issues are at hand at other sites is for the community who frequent those sites to decide.
It's ok, I'm not upset, I'm just saying they don't seem to have had much relevance to me in the past or presently, and if money is used to install dog showers at Crissy, I'm not renewing, that's all.
The dogs are really cute though...
Re: New Dog Shower at Crissy Field
But not in the shower? can they poop in the shower?
Riding used and closeout kites and boards from e-bay,craigslist,ikitesurf, and local surf shops.
Re: New Dog Shower at Crissy Field
that pic reminds me of jail, a white dude a mexican dude and a black dude all waiting in the shower

Re: New Dog Shower at Crissy Field
Hey, no SFBA officer is getting payed, it is all volunteers. They represent our user group to many city, county, state and Federal Agencies. It also provides a way for different agencies to reach out to us and have someone to contact when something comes up.
Bayareakite has been very good in helping east bay sailing sites going smoothly with organized beach cleanups etc.
The shower deal I am sure will not plaese everyone, but it was critical and politicly expedient in working with the NPS and other user groups, and it is just a small loan that will be payed back to SFBA and it was approved democraticly by the board members.
This is my last post on the matter. I was just trying to be informative....out of here.
I am posting two example letters from 2010 as a representation of the SFBA efforts on our behalf, there are others, but this is what I found online first.
September 10, 2010
Mr. Bill Wycko
Environmental Review Officer
San Francisco Planning Department
1650 Mission St., Suite 400
San Francisco, CA 94103
Re: Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the Treasure Island / Yerba Buena Island Redevelopment Project – Case No. 2007.0903E - Comments and Questions on the DEIR
Dear Mr. Wycko:
After many years of public meetings and verbal assurances regarding both the interim and future uses of Treasure Island, the San Francisco Boardsailing Association (Boardsailing = Windsurfing + Kiteboarding) hereby submits comments and questions that we would like to see addressed regarding the "Environmentally Superior Alternative" chosen as the preferred alternative in the DEIR referenced above.
We appreciate the time and cooperation extended over the years by City officials and other stakeholders in incorporating our long-term vision for boardsailing into the Treasure Island Redevelopment Plan. However, because the northern end of Treasure Island is one of the premier, world-class boardsailing locations in the United States, the complete omission of any specific reference to interim and future boardsailing access and facilities in the DEIR raise cause for concern.
One of the premises upon which we have based our access discussions has been the "Proposed Actions and Alternatives" as stated in the "Transfer and Reuse Naval Station Treasure Island Final EIR 2006", which states in Chapter 2-8:
Recreation Facilities
Several recreation facilities continue to be used on Treasure Island as a venue for regional sports activities. These include the baseball field which serves as the home field for the San Francisco Little League, including regional competitions; the soccer field located in the middle of the Island, which is used by soccer and rugby teams from around the Bay Area; the Great Lawn; and various other open space recreational facilities such as parks, trails and ball-fields. Boardsailors and users of other water oriented recreational crafts use the shoreline of Treasure Island, launching from the boat ramp at the northern corner and landing regularly along the northern shoreline of the island.
Based upon previous experiences with EIR decision documents we believe it necessary that the public components of the Plan be clearly summarized and articulated in the Final EIR for them to carry any weight during the development process. The objective of an EIR is that it look for adequacy and completeness and a good faith effort of full disclosure. Our impression of the project scope presented in this DEIR is one of a "market driven" development, with little priority placed upon the implementation of public improvements so frequently presented during planning discussions.
While our expectation is that the draft "Design for Development for Treasure and Yerba Buena Islands" ("Design for Development") will be formally adopted in connection with the Redevelopment Plan, it is also our understanding that the Design for Development (D4D) document will exist as a guideline for future "Island" development, more or less in place of building and zoning codes as applied in non-redevelopment. As such, the D4D is more of a guideline for Island development and should not be misconstrued as law. To be more specific, "Section 2:: T1 Public Open Space" of the D4D states in the Standards Column that "T220.127.116.11 – Two loading areas and amenities for boardsailing shall be provided in two locations near parking areas." While we applaud this description, either this type of specificity needs to be included in the final EIR, or the D4D needs to be adopted as is, and as an appendix to the EIR such that it carries the same force of law. In no section of the DEIR do you find significant discussion of Public Open Space and/or its environmental impact, positive or negative.
While we understand that the substantial downturn in the housing market complicates the
City's and the project applicant's ability to provide improved access during the initial stages of construction, we believe that the DEIR should specifically describe incremental access and phasing of Public Open Space and Facilities.
In addition, mandates of the Mac-Ateer Petris Act provide "maximum feasible public access consistent with the project" to apply to all and interim stages of construction as well. Presently, windsurfers, fishermen, walkers, and kayaks use the levee road and launch from the Island. We think that those users should be able to have improved use of the existing facilities, which can be accomplished without any construction, but merely by reopening the parking lot adjacent to the launching ramp. Such options should also be address in the DEIR.
In Summary, please address the following questions:
1) Why is there complete omission of any specific reference to interim and future boardsailing access and facilities in the DEIR?
2) Why is there no reference to the "Proposed Actions and Alternatives" as stated in the "Transfer and Reuse Naval Station Treasure Island Final EIR 2006", Chapter 2-8?
3) Why does the DEIR not provide specific project scope for Public Open Space and/or its environmental impact, positive or negative?
4) Why does the DEIR not specifically describe "maximum feasible public access consistent with the project" to apply to all and interim stages of construction, including incremental access and phasing of all Public Open Space and Facilities during project development?
In closing, the DEIR does not include the specific depiction of public access that had been agreed upon in earlier versions of the plan. While that detail is included in the D4D, plans and graphics should be part of the Final EIR. The Final EIR should make it clear that part of the long term plan for the 300 acres of parkland is the specific provision for continued and improved access to the water.

Subject: Comments on the San Francisco Bay Area Water Trail Plan Draft Revised Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
Dear Ms. Buell:
The San Francisco Boardsailing Association (SFBA – Windsurfing & Kiteboarding) submits the following comments on the Bay Area Water Trail Draft Revised Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The State of California Coastal Conservancy (SCC) has long had a mandate of improving access to the coast, and over time it has created significant enhancements enjoyed by many. To our disappointment, however, much like the initial Water Trail (WT) EIR, this Revised EIR also does not meet its main objective of adequacy and completeness in its good faith effort of full disclosure.
Overall, the EIR provides for a rather timid approach of adding existing Bay Area Windsurfing and Kiteboarding sites to the Water Trail, treating existing sites as if they were expansions into sensitive areas of the Bay rather than as an opportunity to educate an existing group of users. Additionally, no improvements such as restrooms or outdoor showers are possible with this EIR, and the process for adding existing sites to the Water Trail is so unwieldy that we question whether many site managers have the patience and resources during these difficult times for local government's recreation budgets. As a result, we believe SCC risks losing the support of the people who should be considered partners, constituents and targets for your own education efforts.
List of HOS's Omits Many of the Existing Sites Used by Windsurfers and Kiteboarders
The EIR notes incorrectly on page 2-19 that only sixteen (16) of the one hundred and twelve (112) sites in the WT plan are windsurfing and/or kiteboarding sites, and a number of these are excluded from the list of HOS's. Thus, the listing of existing windsurfing and kiteboarding sites will likely be required to go through an extensive designation process, or more likely, continue to be used without any potential grant funding through the water trail or any associated stewardship or education efforts.
The following popular windsurfing sites are included as HOS's in Table 2.3.2-1: Berkeley Marina (A26), Emeryville Marina, San Leandro Marina, Crown Memorial Beach in Alameda, Pt. Isabel, Shimada and Vincent Parks in Richmond, Candlestick Point, Crissy Field, Third Avenue, two sites in Benicia (Matthew Turner Park and the Ninth Street Launch and beach) and Coyote Point Beach. This is only thirteen (13) of the twenty-four (24) sites that are currently in use, and includes only four (4) sites used by kiteboarders — Crown Memorial, Third Avenue, Crissy Field, and Vincent Park.
The Revised EIR also excludes from HOS consideration existing windsurfing and kiteboarding launches at Albany Beach, Point Emery, Treasure Island, Rod and Gun, Larkspur Landing, Remillard Park, San Quentin, the Cove near Presidio Yacht Club and Rodeo Beach. Adding the Treasure Island site at this time may be difficult, since it is still considered Navy property.
Our members use all of these sites, and including them at this time would promote educational efforts that would decrease, not increase, any potential impacts. As currently designed, the SCC would adopt a plan that would defer educational efforts indefinitely and perhaps permanently if local governments find the requirements too onerous. As a result of the constrained set of HOSs, the Water Trail includes no sites for windsurfing or kiteboarding in either Marin County or Santa Clara County, where a number of our members live and/or work and have pioneered sites on their own. To these users, the Water Trail effort provides no benefit and thus sacrifices the ability to reach existing members who sail from these sites.
Trailhead Designation Process is Unwieldy and Lacks Transparency
It is frustrating for Non-Motorized Small Boat (NMSB) users that five years after the State Legislature declared that:
Water-oriented recreational uses of the San Francisco Bay … are of great benefit to the public welfare…
and established policies of
…protecting endangered and threatened species, and species of special concern…
and encouraged SCC to undertake projects during the period when the plan is being prepared, that we find ourselves with another Draft EIR that will not actually designate any of the existing sites. In the case of many of the existing windsurfing and kiteboarding sites, it seems to require an extensive and expensive further planning process, requiring "much more detailed Trailhead Plans…with site-specific CEQA review." If local governments are discouraged by these requirements, these sites will remain in use, but without the benefits of education and user awareness. This seems to be counter to SCC's objectives.
New Sites are Needed
Many of our windsurfers and kiteboarders are interested in windsurfing after work in areas close to their work sites. In fact, many of our members (including your's truly) have chosen specific locations within the Bay Area as their home and workplace specifically for the world-class windsurfing and kiteboarding sites and opportunities, and a good number have chosen professions and employers based upon the ability to windsurf and kiteboard in the mid-to-late afternoons when the wind is at its strongest. Many of our members are familiar with the provisions of the California Constitution, and often view launching their boards or kites as a fundamental right, as Section 4 of Article 10 of the Constitution provides:
No individual … shall be permitted to exclude the right of way to such water … or obstruct the free navigation of such water; and the Legislature shall enact such laws as will give the most liberal construction to this provision, so that access to the navigable waters of the State shall always be attainable for the people thereof.
When no workable process to formally establish new sites is available, our users have used existing segments of the Bay Trail, or beaches or other access points to reach the Bay. The following recent experience with kiteboard launching in Corte Madera marsh should illustrate the potential concerns of not providing for our members needs:
The California Department of Fish and Game (CA DFG) manages the Corte Madera marsh as a wildlife refuge. Their web site includes the following language: "Only lightweight hand-carried boats may be launched within the reserve." Local kiteboarders began to launch their kites from the marsh, believing that their lightweight hand-carried boards fit within that definition. However, the spreading of kite-lines in preparation for launch affected about half an acre of marsh grass.
This experience illustrates the need for new sites to accommodate the growing sport of kiteboarding, and that absent suitable sites… users will pioneer new sites. Clearly the incident in Corte Madera marsh did not occur as a result of having designated an existing site part of the Water Trail; but instead because the existing sites were not considered safe by kiteboarders. If the SCC establishes an unwieldy process that does not meet user needs, the result could be something that none of us can influence or manage as users pioneer new sites and regulators try to respond.

Re: New Dog Shower at Crissy Field
It is informative, if it is the form of a loan, that's fine. And kudos to you for all your efforts and everything you do, many of us know you put a lot of time effort into things asking nothing in return. Don't stop. My response is no criticism of your efforts nor any criticism of the SFBA as far as BAK is "officially" concerned.
My post was(is) my personal opinion that the SFBA providing a dog shower for dog owners is ridiculous. I love dogs, they're awesome! In many ways, better than people.
Official BAK position: "SFBA is good, it has its role, we appreciate their unpaid efforts, support it."
New Dog Shower at Crissy Field
Way to back pedal Ollie. Ever considered politics?
But seriously, thanks for all you do here at BAK thanks to SFBA as well.

Ha, well, glad someone noticed!
I like to be able to post my personal opinions here sometimes, but am the same time need to moderate myself and honor my role to lend support to worthwhile things and what is in the interest of the greater good for the community and sport. So, I guess like politics sometimes...

Yes, that was me you saw roaming through our pasture, following leader dog, Tinta, recently. We continue to investigate and try to figure out what is going on with our almost summertime weather (the very warm temperatures) and the lack of snow in our vast mountain chain. Sometimes I wonder if this is the start of yet another dust bowl. Ken Burns surely did a masterful job portraying the last one recently on PBS channel.

Not everyone who owns an iDevice regularly interacts with Apple's media ecosystem—especially since the launch of Amazon MP3. But although Amazon MP3 customers have always been able to download their music on a computer and transfer it to their iPads through iTunes, they haven't been able to benefit from Amazon's companion app/service that lets you stream music directly from the cloud. Until today, that is—Amazon announced that its Cloud Player app, previously only available to iPhone and iPod touch, is now available for iPad and iPad mini users as well.
The app, which has been available on other iOS devices since last summer, allows users to buy music from Amazon and have it automatically transferred to Cloud Player, streamable from any iOS device. Users can also opt to download music from the cloud for offline use, though it must still be played through the Cloud Player app. Anecdotally, I know a good number of iPad-using Amazon customers who have been grumbling about the lack of a "real" iPad version of this app (they tend to use the iPhone version, blown up to 2x), so Wednesday's release is sure to make plenty of users happy. If you've already downloaded a version of Cloud Player for iPhone or iPod touch, you don't need to download it again; Amazon updated its existing app to be universal.
But Amazon giveth and Amazon taketh away—if only temporarily. The company also just issued an update to the Kindle iPhone and iPad app—version 3.6.1—but is now warning iOS users not to install the new version of the app. The latest version apparently has a bug that will delete your entire Kindle library, and Amazon is aware of the issue. "If you are an existing Kindle for iOS user, we recommend you do not install this update at this time," the company wrote in its App Store description, so if you haven't updated in the last 12 hours or so, it sounds like it's worth waiting until a new version can be released.

Trace Adkins Medley Opens 2011 American Country Awards
The 2011 American Country Awards began with a medley from host Trace Adkins. The 6'6" singer had yet to be joined by his diminutive co-host Kristin Chenoweth when he sang 'Honky Tonk Badonkadonk,' 'Just Fishin'' and 'Ladies Love Country Boys.'
A gander of tight-jeaned country cuties joined the big man onstage for the first and last songs in his medley. Adkins was dressed in all black, including a long leather jacket, tight black jeans and his signature black cowboy hat. He immediately seemed much more at ease in these opening moments than he was during the first hour of last year's telecast.
After Adkins finished, he reluctantly introduced his co-host, saying the networks brought her along to keep him in line. "Make some noise for my opponent tonight, Kristin Chenoweth," Adkins said, pointing to the actress-singer who was dressed in full boxing garb, including gloves. She gave fans and stars like Carrie Underwood a fist bump before making it known she was anxious to get her hands on Adkins.

Very cool well and camel! I like your schedule board idea!ReplyDelete
What a great update! This looks like a terrific, flexible scheduling system. We just may try it... or some authoritarian version where I choose the days' activities, but they can pick the order.ReplyDelete
I wasn't sure which game you meant, because the image isn't working, but I looked on Amazon and it looks like you mean the Eric Carle ABC game. I am surprised you like it - haven't seen it myself, but 8 amazon reviewers say it's dull and terrible (vs 1 who says it's okay!).
Is that the game you mean?
It's the ABC game by Eriv Carle-ReplyDelete
I guess the game really depends on the kids playing- It is a very simple game, but my little guy (5) loved it... he has a great concentration span, like I said, my 3 year old wasn't too interested:)
FYI - I included a few links to you in the latest (Kislev) Jewish Homeschool Carnival. Check it out! http://bit.ly/broPUtReplyDelete
