stevej5210 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 52 designs submitted by 18 freelance designers.
we require a distinctive logo design for a site dedicated to providing mentorship services to people caring for their aging parents.
We are a start-up so have a open field in terms of design elements and colours. There is a partnership with a company called EldercareABC.com so the colors sand design should not be too close to that brand - you can see that by visiting http://www.eldercareabcblog.com
Bearing in mind that this is a service based on one human being helping another do something very important we would like the design to be professional but not 'cold'. Rather we would like it to suggest mutual support and an optimistic feel to the design and colors.
The actual logo icon needs to imply the support and expertise the client can expect from our company.
The strap-line is 'Caring for Caregivers' I like to have one version of the design with the strap-line and one without.
- Item 1...possibly some sort of flowing element like the line running through the yin-yang design of Taoism.
- I want colors that are bright and optimistic but not gaudy
- I want colors that are good pairs on the 'color wheel'you may like to visit http://bit.ly/13bN1
- Item 1...a design that is very cold / officious looking.
- Should not look like a 'new age' company

|Mural in Entrance (File Photo*)
Currently, Tröegs is only offering self-guided tours, but their website tells us of plans on offering a low-cost, taste-as-you-go, guided version coming in late February of this year. If I understand correctly, you'll even get a souvenir pint glass out of the deal -- not too shabby! Back to the self-guided tour: when you come in the front door, keep going straight through the doors and you'll enter the tasting room. There are multiple barkeeps at the impressively long bar, which includes a growler fill-up station (actually, they have an automated machine that is fun to watch as it fills the growler).
|The Impressively Long Bar
|Growler Filling Station
|Thankfully, this sign was not on the entrance doors.
* The photo I used of the 2-story mural in the brewery entrance is a file photo because it is not currently there. I asked the Trogner brothers what happened, and they said that they are repairing multiple cracks in the wall. Never fear - they assure me that "it will return".

Behind the performances of senior Devante Pritchett and junior Riley Dickard, the Centurions opened the ballgame by getting on the scoreboard first and jumping out to an early 8-5 lead.
UC got baskets from Dickard and junior Quinn Skillin to extend its edge to 14-11 at the end of the first quarter, but Mission Bay outscored the Centurions 8-4 in the second quarter to take a 19-18 advantage into the locker room at halftime.
After intermission, Dickard, Skillin and fellow juniors Brendan Smith and Michael Sohikish scored two, three, four and seven points, respectively, in the third quarter, as UC went on a 16-7 run to create a 34-26 cushion.
That's when Buccaneer junior Isaiah Milan went to work, outscoring the entire Centurion squad 9-0 all by himself and giving Mission Bay a slim 35-34 lead at the end of the third quarter.
In the fourth quarter, Buccaneer junior Jared Kane converted five baskets (including two free throws and a three-pointer) and junior Andre Petties-Wilson added four points of his own, but it wasn't quite enough as UC got six points apiece from Skillin and Sohikish and five from Pritchett in the fourth period to seal the victory.
Sohikish led the Centurions with a team-high 15 points, plus three assists and was followed in the scoring column by Skillin (11 points, eight rebounds, three assists), Pritchett (11 points, eight rebounds), Dickard (six points, four assists), Smith (six points) and senior Kalid Ahmed (two points).
In another Western League contest, UC suffered a tough 75-28 loss to the Cathedral Catholic Dons at Cathedral on Jan. 11.
The Centurions were led by the play of Pritchett who finished with a team-best 10 points on the evening.
With the defeat, UC saw its record fall to 6-9 overall and 1-1 in Western League play on the young season.

The release of a new CD, The Film Music Of Ralph Rainger, is the occasion for my piece in today's Wall Street Journal. Coupled with an article about the contemporary motion picture composer A.B. Rahman, it is headlined, Another Who Has Been Unjustly Forgotten and begins: For years, Jack Benny opened his CBS radio and television broadcasts with "Love in Bloom." The comedian's violin butchery of his theme song became a running coast-to-coast Sunday night gag. As a result, the piece became … [Read more...]

Meet Ralph Rainger
Rainger was a very good pianist. In 1933, Paramount featured him playing his music in a promotional short subject that included cameo appearances by Bing Crosby and Maurice Chevalier. It ends with superimposed shots of Rainger improvising separate parts simultaneously on three pianos. Sound familiar? Of course, but it was three decades before Bill Evans recorded Conversations With Myself. I wanted to put the film directly into Rifftides, but embedding the clip is forbidden. To see it, click … [Read more...]

Freddie Hubbard Is Gone
Freddie Hubbard died this morning in the Sherman Oaks district of Los Angeles. He was hospitalized there since he had a heart attack on November 26. Hubbard was 70. From the trumpeter's first recording with the Montgomery Brothers in 1958, it was evident that reports coming out of Indianapolis were true: the city had produced a remarkable trumpet player, one who might equal another twenty-year-old, Lee Morgan. After his arrival in New York, Hubbard quickly proved the point. The two were the … [Read more...]

With so little video of Lester Young, every foot of him performing on film is precious. Loren Schoenberg calls attention to a performance by Young that showed up recently on You Tube.

"What? You Know About Leo?"
Shortly after I posted the Doug's Picks selection of Wadada Leo Smith's new CD, Tabligh (see the center column), I was in a meeting with Daron Hagen. I casually mentioned Smith. "What?" he said, full of excitement. "You know about Leo?" It turns out that Hagen, a distinguished composer of operas, chamber music and orchestral works, was a teaching colleague of Smith at Bard College and holds him in high regard. That led to a discussion of one of Hagen's -- and my -- favorite propositions, that … [Read more...]
Frances Lynne
From San Francisco comes news of the death of Frances Lynne, the singer who worked with Paul Desmond and Dave Brubeck before there was a Brubeck Quartet. Ms. Lynne went on to sing with Charlie Barnet and Gene Krupa as the big band era wound down. Her first recording, however, was not until 1991 with her husband, John Coppola's band. She and the trumpeter were married for fifty-six years. She was eighty-two years old. Reviewing her CD, Remember, I wrote, "Often discussed but seldom heard, Ms. … [Read more...]

Among Rifftides readers in Europe are the proprietors of three web logs helpful to those who wish to keep up with developments on the continent.

CD: Ernestine Anderson
Ernestine Anderson, Hot Cargo (Fresh Sound). In these 1956 sessions, Anderson's early singing has lost none of its naturalness, musicality or appeal. Her accompaniments by Harry Arnold's big band and Duke Jordan's trio sound equally fresh. I wrote earlier that this was one of the best vocal albums of the 1950s. I am revising that assessment. It is one of the best vocal recordings of the last half of the twentieth century. Sweden's Metronome label originally released this … [Read more...]
CD: Wadada Leo Smith
Wadada Leo Smith's Golden Quartet, Tabligh, (Cuneiform). stalwart of the avant garde for nearly four decades, Smith continues at the head of the pack in free jazz. In this set of four moody, barely-structured pieces, the trumpeter frequently evokes late-period Miles Davis. He sometimes takes the horn below its natural range to explore pedal-tone territory that Davis never visited. Pianist Vijay Iyer, bassist John Lindberg and drummer Shannon Jackson have developed an uncanny ability to react to … [Read more...]
CD: Alexander String Quartet
Alexander String Quartet, Retrospections (Foghorn Classics). The ASQ plumbs the seriousness, assertiveness and sense of glee in quartets 1, 2 and 3 of the Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Wayne Peterson.

He integrates those influences in spirit, not letter. Played by the Alexander String Quartet with deep understanding, Peterson's … [Read more...]
DVD: Bobby Shew
The Bobby Shew Story (Skyhigh Films). The great trumpeter talks about his career -- stumbling into a jam session at age fifteen and discovering that he had the gift of improvisation -- deciding to give up studio work: "I realized I was on a chain like a pet monkey" -- the joy of losing his fear of playing incorrectly: "I'm not afraid of sticking my neck out any more." Interspersed with the interview segments are sequences of Shew performing at the Jazz Bakery with the Chris Walden big band. They … [Read more...]

Gioia traces the evolution of the blues from the plantation work songs that were also one of the roots of jazz. He is persuasive on the role of economics in driving … [Read more...]
Thanks For The Memory
The research into Ralph Rainger that has kept me more or less hors de combat from Rifftides lately included the not entirely disagreeable task of watching The Big Broadcast of 1938. Film musicals still recycled vaudeville in those days, so what we get is a series of blackouts draped over a flimsy structure called a plot. It's an excuse to see, among other things, a few vintage W.C. Fields bits and hear Martha Raye, a drastically underrated singer. Part of the plot involves Bob Hope's character … [Read more...]
Farewell Service For McKenna

It was like partially singing with an orchestra and floating on air at the same time, because he was buoyant," said Daryl Sherman, who had sung with the pianist since the 1980s, including at his final performance in the Oak Room in New York City's Algonquin Hotel. She called McKenna the "Woonsocket … [Read more...]

The 2 p.m service will be at The St. Ann Arts and Cultural Center, 84 Cumberland Street in Woonsocket, RI, McKenna's home town. His sister, Jean O'Donnell, will sing at the service.

It's not every day a city council declines a chance to honor a hometown boy made good. But when that hometown boy becomes famous for his lewd, profane and frequently naked appearances on a late night comedy show, even the most well-meaning local politician might pause. Comedian Daniel Tosh, host of the Comedy Central program Tosh.O, graduated from Astronaut High in Titusville, Florida in 1993; on Tuesday the city council nixed a plan to honor him with a banner hanging from a local water tower.
(MORE: Eye Jabs & Head Raps: Rare Behind-the-Scenes Photos of The Three Stooges)
Councilmembers voted down a proposal from C2C Outdoor, who runs advertising campaigns for Comedy Central and others, to hang a banner reading "TOSH 5.29" on the water tower from May 14 to June 10, in exchange for $7,000, which was expected to be used to help fund the town's 2012 July Fourth celebration, according to local news station WTSP. Mayor Jim Tulley described the proposal as "fraught with peril" during the council meeting Tuesday night, indicating that he has seen Tosh brilliantly skewer people on his popular show, which culls its material — mostly viral videos and submissions by fans — from some of the grossest corners of the Internet. However, the city council was willing to brave potential future public mocking and turned down the idea. "I don't think it's a good use of public property," Councilwoman Martha Long said. "The fact that there is $7,000 being waved in front of us, it's not worthy." The council voted 4-1 to deny the proposal.

hooks simply has a way with words (in my opinion), and she's so self aware and not afraid to bring the fullness into her life, including her sexuality, into her theory, even if she does so subtly. Take this passage, for instance:
"I could not imagine having sex with any man in my parents' house. In their house in some way I am always a child. He wanted to do it there, to defy them. I did not understand this desire. One night we stayed awake while everyone else was sleeping, kissing and touching each other with out clothes on. It reminded me of hgh school, of crazed longings when boys would come over and one of my sisters would be sent to stand guard--to watch, so that nothing sexual would happen. This memory excited me. I unzipped his pants there on my knees in the darkness of my parents' house and sucked his dick until he came in my mouth. Pleasure and danger were there in that passion--the memory of boys afraid to come to our house cause Mr. Veodis might kill them. They all knew Mr. Veodis didn't let nobody mess with his girls. Down on my knees in the dark house of my childhood I was no longer Mr. Veodis's girl, I was my own woman, taking desire into my own hands. There were no spies in the house of love that night. It was our ritual marriage. I had broken the allegiance of family to be loyal to him. Love and betrayal were linked then. "
Ok, maybe "taking my desire into my own hands" isn't so subtle. But still.
There's so much here to unpack, but what strikes me the most is her description of consciously moving away from the rule of her father, from the literal patriarchy she had grown up in.
For me, hooks' description here brings back some unpleasant memories of my adolescence, of being afraid of the fathers of girls I was dating. Fearing fathers was the general rule; though there were exceptional fathers I met who didn't treat their girls (or boys) as property, mostly they did, or seemed to. Such is some of the horrible power of traditional masculinity--no father ever threatened me, because no father ever had to. It was simply understood, by everybody involved, that physical harm could come to me if I was 'caught doing things' with some man's daughter--whether the implicit threat of violence would be carried out or not, it was assumed, and that threat helped to shape my relationships, both to the girls I was dating, and to myself, in ways I still have yet to fully recover from.

I really liked the main character, Emily, in this book. She was one of the fastest runners in school. I like to run too. In the beginning of the story Emily is not nice to the new girl, Dawn. She slowly begins to realize that Dawn can be nice once you get to know her. It is always good to be nice to new students in your class. It is hard for them to come to a new school.
If you like to read stories about kids your age you will like this book. The students do a lot of the same things we do in our school. This is also a book about friendship. If you like to read about making new friends you will like this book.


text: Farmland Price Plateau Ahead, Bankers Say May 17, 2013 12:00 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Nate Birt Top Producer Managing Editor Email Farmland values continue on an upward path in 2013 compared to year-ago rates, but more modest movement is expected as the year progresses, according to a Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago survey of more than 200 district agricultural bankers. "Lower crop prices could slow the upward trend in farmland values," the bank reports, referencing USDA forecasts that tight stocks for corn and soybeans will ease. "Many District bankers responding to the survey appeared to share this view: For the second quarter of 2013, 19% predicted farmland values to increase, while 4% expected them to decrease; the vast majority anticipated farmland values to be stable." (See related: Sell Land to Build Up Savings?) Other findings outlined in the report: Agricultural land values grew 4% in the first quarter of 2013 compared with the fourth quarter of last year, less growth than reflected in the previous survey. 15% year-over-year growth in ag land values for the period 11% growth in farmland cash rental rates compared with last year's rates State-by-state variation: Wisconsin farmland values fell 3% year-over-year for the quarter, while Michigan saw better growth compared to the previous quarter. Illinois and Iowa saw increases comparable to those of the previous quarter. Similar findings were noted in a Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank report covered by the Wall Street Journal. There, prices for nonirrigated farmland rose 3.4% from the previous quarter, less than a 7.7% increase recorded for the same period one year ago. In the St. Louis region, the value of quality farmland fell by an average of 2.3% quarter-over-quarter, while ranchland and pasture fell by an average of 5.1%. "Much of the 2013 crop inputs have been paid and they still have low operating loan balances," one banker told the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis in its quarterly report. "But there is a group of young farmers that have only seen the 'buy today because it will be higher tomorrow' and are accumulating some high debt totals. If asset values cycle down they could be put in a difficult financial situation with a resulting high debt ratio and large debt service requirements. The recipe for lower land values will be lower grain prices, meaning lower net income to service those debt requirements. Very similar to my early lending years of the early 1980s." Meanwhile, the financial condition of livestock and poultry producers in the St. Louis bank's region largely remains unchanged from a year ago, respondents say. One-third of the 55 reporting banks saw a modest or more significant deterioration in financial condition, while 47% said financial condition has not changed. Back to news

Groundspeak Weekly Newsletter – August 10, 2011
What to Place in a Geocache
A few of the Groundspeak Lackeys went geocaching this weekend. We went on a long hike to a geocache in the mountains that hadn't been found for nearly a year. It was in a beautiful spot and the snap closure geocache container was in perfect condition on the outside, but inside was a different story. It contained two empty chewing tobacco containers, a jolly rancher, a pack of ibuprofen, a few miscellaneous pills, a business card and a few other small things.
The "other small things" were things you would expect to find in a geocache – a fun key-chain, a small mirror and a plastic horse. But when we retrieved the key-chain, we found that it was covered with blue goo. The culprit was the Jolly Rancher, which had melted and escaped its wrapper. Although a Jolly Rancher may seem like a fun thing to place in a cache, food and other scented items do not make good SWAG. They can mess up the inside of the cache container or attract animals.
The tobacco containers and pills were not great cache contents either. Geocaching is a family-friendly activity and the items you place in a cache should reflect that. If you were a 6-year-old geocacher, would you want a pack of ibuprofen in exchange for your toy? Consider what type of SWAG makes sense for an audience of all ages. Please remember, the item that you place in a cache should be of equal or greater value than the item that you are taking.
Fun items to trade include small toys, patches, pins, or an item that symbolizes who you are (a signature item).

What Makes a Man: 22 Writers Imagine the Future
Rebecca Walker
Riverhead Books, 2004 - Fiction - 252 pages
One of Time magazine's 50 Future Leaders of America brings together novelists, essayists, men, and women to talk about the future of masculinity.
What does it mean to be male in the twenty-first century? What does the concept of masculinity even mean in the wake of four decades of modern feminism? What makes a man a man today and a woman a woman? Are those distinctions even real anymore? In this groundbreaking collection, Michael Datcher, Michael Moore, Anthony Swofford, Ruth Bettelheim, and a whole host of the world's most influential authors address these questions and many others. Through diverse themes that touch all of our lives-including sex, grief, power, money, family, privilege, violence, marriage, and work-these accomplished contributors lend their unique perspectives as they share their thoughts, experiences, and stories on forging new men and defining masculinity in a constantly changing world.
Rebecca Walker's feminist anthology, To Be Real, published nearly a decade ago, is a standard text in women's studies courses across the country. Considered one of the defining texts of contemporary feminism, To Be Real successfully bridged chasms between generations and ideologies. Similarly revolutionary and challenging in scope, What Makes a Man will be the first book to articulate and define the contours and concerns of a new generation of men.

text: Analytical headphone + dac& 2017-06-27 18:44:02 I am looking for analytical/non-colored/studio headphones (semi-open or closed) and dac+amp. The max I am willing to spend is 1200€, but I do not want to max out if there is no substantial benefit compared to cheaper options.Based on many opinions I have read, it appears DT880 (600 ohms in particular) is the most recommended for what I am looking for. My only concern is that it was released 12 years ago and I am surprised that no other better headphones were release until then. I am not a fan of non-detachable audio cable, but that a minor thing.I have tried analyzing frequency response charts for DT880 and other contenders that got very positive reviews for being analytical. Apart from Sony, I do not see why one from that list would be better than another, even if compared to HD800. I am not sure how people make definitive conclusions just by looking at these charts: http://graphs.headphone.com/index.php?graphID%5B0%5D=2751&graphID%5B1%5D=853&graphID%5B2%5D=703&graphID%5B3%5D=2361&scale=30&graphType=0&buttonSelection=Update+GraphAs for dac+amp, I do not need any extra features apart from USB in, analog out and a volume knob. It looks like it is not the right time to buy a dac as manufacturers are just starting to adopt ES9028/ES9038 and there is not much to choose from. I have picked quite an unusual device – HUD-DX1. On paper, when op-amps are replaced and when proper power is used it should be analytical enough to get most out of DT880.Please let me know what you think of my choice. Can you offer me anything better for the money I have?

Computers do not require Internet access all the time; neither do switches utilize all ports at all times. When a computer or network equipment is shutdown, switches often remain on and continue to consume considerable amount of power. With Green Ethernet technology, D-Link switches can automatically detect link status and reduce power usage of ports that are idle. Computers or any connecting parties set to standby mode (not power off), however, will not provide significant power savings.
The Green Ethernet switches have the ability to analyze the length of any Ethernet cable connected to them for adjustment of power usage accordingly. Shorter lengths require less power.
For a traditional switch, power consumption remains constant even when the ports are not in use. In a standard workday scenario where PCs are used for 10 hours a day and powered off 14 hours a day, and connected to the switch using 20 meter cables, D-Link's Green Ethernet can save up to 25% power used for each system.
Get the blazing speed of Gigabit Ethernet with the D-Link GigaExpress DGS-1024D, a 24-port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Switch that delivers power, performance, and reliability in one cost-effective, space-saving design. Increase the speed of your network server and backbone connections, or make Gigabit to the desktop a reality.
Power users in the office, workgroup, or creative production environment can now move large, bandwidth-intensive files faster. Transfer graphics, CGI, CAD, or multimedia files across the network instantly. The versatile and compact 1RU height design of the DGS-1024D enables the device to be rackmounted in a standard 19 inch rack, while conserving valuable rack space.
It features a non-blocking switching architecture that filters and forwards packets at full wire-speed for maximum throughput. An 8K MAC address table provides scalability for even the largest networks. Address learning and aging, 802.3x Flow Control for full-duplex mode, and back pressure flow control for half-duplex mode alleviates traffic congestion and ensures reliable data transmission.
Designed using industry standards, it is compatible with virtually all 10, 100, and 1000Mbps Ethernet devices and other vendor equipment. The D-Link DGS-1024D 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Switch protects your existing network investments while providing you with a straightforward migration path to faster Gigabit speeds.
The auto features of this gigabit switch make installation plug and play and hassle-free. No configuring is required. Auto MDI/MDI-X crossover on all ports eliminate the need for crossover cables or uplink ports. Auto-negotiation on each port senses the link speed of a network device (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and intelligently adjusts for compatibility and optimal performance.
It also features diagnostic LEDs which display status and activity, allowing you to quickly detect and correct problems on the network. Every port also supports a cable diagnostic feature that helps to detect cable related problems.

The Tennessee State University women's basketball team will play its second game in three days when the Lady Tigers host UT Martin in an OVC match-up on Monday, Feb. 18. Game time is slated for 7 p.m. in the Gentry Center.
Tennessee State is coming off a, 54-53, home win over Belmont on Saturday. With the win the Lady Tigers won their third straight and improved to 11-12 overall with a 7-5 mark in the league. TSU is 3-2 at home in league play this season. The Lady Tigers are fourth in the OVC East Division standings.
Tennessee State's three top leading scorers are Kesi Hess (12.2 ppg), Simone Hopes (11.5 ppg) and Jasmin Shuler (9.5 ppg). Hopes also leads the Lady Tigers in rebounding with 6.6 boards per outing.
As a team, TSU is averaging 60.7 points per contest while shooting 36.9 percent from the field and 29.0 percent from beyond the arc. TSU is currently connecting only 67.0 percent from the free-throw line while committing an average of 16.6 turnovers per game.
TSU averages 37.8 rebounds, 10.7 assists and 10.5 steals per game. The Lady Tigers are under first year head coach Larry Joe Inman.
The Tennessee State University women's basketball team won their third straight contest with a 54-53 win over Belmont University Saturday night in the Gentry Center. TSU saw a double-digit lead disappear within the last five minutes of the game but the Lady Tigers were able to hold the Bruins off. Rachel Allen knocked down what would prove to be the winning free-throw with 17 seconds left to propel the Lady Tigers to the win. Simone Hopes led TSU with 11 points while Kesi Hess added 10. Rachel Allen and Jasmin Shuler added eight points apiece.
UT Martin is coming off a, 75-61, win over Southeast Missouri at home. The Skyhawks have lost three of their last five and sit in third place in the West Division. UTM has an overall record of 12-14 with a 7-5 OVC mark.
In the Skyhawks' most recent victory over SEMO, four players posted double-digits in scoring led by Jasmine Newsome's 27 points. Newsome also had 10 rebounds for a double-double. Heather Butler posted 23 points while Shelby Crawford (11) and Rickiesha Bryant (10) also registered double-digits. Bryant had a game-high 13 rebounds for a double-double.
As a team, UTM is averaging 71.9 points per game behind a .414 shooting percentage. UTM is shooting .325 from beyond the arc and recording 34.2 rebounds per outing. The Skyhawks register 15.2 assists, 13.3 turnovers and 9.2 steals per contest.
Heather Butler (21.8 ppg) and Jasmine Newsome (21.2 ppg) lead UT Martin in scoring. They are also the OVC's top scoring leaders. Rickiesha Bryant (8.5 ppg) is the third leading scorer and leading rebounder for the Skyhawks.
TSU vs. UT MARTIN
Tennessee State and UT Martin will meet for the 56th time in the series history. UTM holds a slight 28-27 series advantage. Last season, UTM claimed both meetings between the two teams, including an OVC record-breaking contest in which the Skyhawks defeated the Lady Tigers, 114-105, in the Gentry Center. UTM won, 105-90, later in the season.
TSU vs. UTM, BREAKING RECORDS
In the 114-105 loss to UTM last season, the point total marked the most points TSU had scored in a game since posting 106 against Valparaiso in the 1990 season. Additionally, the 219 combined points from both teams set a new OVC record as Morehead (110) and EKU (106) previously held the record from the 1992-93 season.
Live video of TSU vs. UTM will be available on OVCDigitalNetwork.com.
TSU will hit the road to face SIU Edwardsville on Monday, Feb. 25 before returning home to host Morehead State (Feb. 28) and Eastern Kentucky (March 2) in the final regular season games of the season.

I read often about training at 85% of your 1 rep max to get the full benefit. Sometimes articles refer to training at 75-85%.
In my training this would seem almost impossible. My 1RM for squat is 100kg and I am about maxing out at 80kg 5x5. If I get up to 5x5 85kg I would imagine my 1RM would jump to 110kg (I hope).
Bench my 1RM is 95kg and 5x5 I am lucky to get 72.5kg when maxing out which is only just 75% of 1RM.
Deadlift 1RM should be about 150kg so 85% would be 130kg which is far off my current 5x5 110kg.
So should I HTFU and try get close to 85% doing 5x5 or should I just keep on going and not worry too much about this percentage rubbish?
What is your experience of training compared to your 1RM?

JACKSON, Mo. (AP) – A frustrated judge, begrudging prosecutors and chagrined family members all conceded Thursday that offering a plea deal to a southeast Missouri man accused of killing his estranged wife, a mother of 5-year-old triplets who was missing for almost two years before her body was found last week on an island in the nearby Mississippi River, was inadequate.
But it was the best option available, they said, because 42-year-old James Clay Waller II was the only person who could lead authorities to Jacque Waller's body, while ensuring a conviction and offering grieving family and friends closure for the 39-year-old mother who disappeared in 2011.
Clay Waller was given a 20-year prison sentence Thursday after pleading guilty to second-degree murder and admitting in a barely audible voice _ inside a packed Cape Girardeau County courthouse _ that he'd murdered the triplet's mom. The shaken inmate struggled to admit choking his wife to death before dumping her body on an island on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River nearly two years ago.
Before being sentenced, Clay Walker also listened to his 7-year-old son publicly disown him for life, calling his father a "big, fat jerk."
"You killed our mom," the child said in a taped statement. "I thought you were a good guy. Now I know you're not … I wish you weren't my dad."
Few left the courthouse satisfied with the outcome. Both Jacque Waller's sister and Circuit Judge Benjamin Lewis said they weren't happy with the lighter sentence, but had few options. The plea was conditional on Clay Waller II leading investigators to his wife's body and his confession in court. Her body wasn't found until May 29 in Alexander County, Ill., and Clay Waller continued to share details about the killing with investigators earlier this week.
"I did not want this deal," said Waller's sister, Cheryl Brenneke, who has custody of the triplets and plans to adopt the two girls and one boy. "My mother and father and these children deserved to bury her, though."
Lewis acknowledged that "there will be a number of people critical of this plea agreement. However none of those critics could provide the body of Jacque Waller."
"That is not what you deserve, but it will have to do," he said in handing down the 20-year sentence. Under the original charge, Waller could have faced the death penalty or life in prison without parole.
Clay Waller is serving a five-year term in federal prison for threatening Brenneke over the Internet. His sentence in the murder case will run concurrent with the federal case, officials said. Under Missouri law, he must serve at least 85 percent of his sentence _ or 17 years _ minus time served.
He was originally charged with first-degree murder and arrested in April 2012 even though her body had not yet been found. He had faced a September trial in Cape Girardeau County Circuit Court.
"It's bitter, because Jacque Waller was sentenced to death, and her family was sentenced to life without Jacque," said Cape Girardeau Sheriff John Jordan.
Prosecutors said they insisted on at least a 20-year sentence, though Waller's public defenders tried to negotiate a more favorable deal. County prosecutor Chris Limbaugh said he expects Waller to serve the entire 20 years.
"It was decided that it was more important to get Jacque back," he said.
Jacque Waller had been missing since June 1, 2011, the same day the couple met with a divorce lawyer and argued over money after living apart for the previous three months.
Her Honda Pilot was found along Interstate 55 a day after she disappeared, its tires slashed, after the car had been seen the day before at Clay Waller's home. Several searches since then turned up sporadic leads, including the discovery of her purse near where the car was found.
The FBI said last year that Clay Waller suggested to his father that he had broken Jacque Waller's neck and buried her in a hole that he had dug in advance. But Clay Waller had previously not made any confession to police, and his father died before he could testify.
Waller spoke softly as he admitted guilt, his voice barely audible in the packed Jackson courtroom. He kept his back turned as Brenneke spoke, facing the judge but glancing downward while fidgeting in place.
"We got in an argument," he said, describing an assault on his wife at the Jackson home he was living in after the couple split. "I lost my temper."
But investigators said Waller already had planned to kill his wife, digging a 6-foot hole in the sand the previous day and scouting out the burial location via helicopter. Jordan said Clay Waller lured his wife to his home by convincing her that their son was there. Instead, the child was with Clay Waller's girlfriend.
Jordan said Waller was motivated in part by jealousy. Before her death, Jacque Waller had again found love with a new boyfriend, and the couple planned to move in together, her sister said Thursday.
Brenekke spoke to Waller with rage and contempt, her voice quavering.
"To someone who has always considered himself the smartest guy in the room, you just look like a skinny, washed up, murdering con man to everyone in this room," she said. "I knew immediately that you killed my sister."
After Brenneke spoke, Waller heard the taped statement by his son in which the child said, "I never want to see you again for my entire life."
Stan Rawson, Jacque Waller's father, said the family accepted the plea deal in order to remove the uncertainty over their daughter's fate. He said Jacque Waller was a long-time victim of domestic abuse, and blamed himself for not taking his daughter's warnings about Clay Waller's temper seriously.
"She thought she could control him," Rawson said. "Needless to say, she couldn't."

Greg Robinson is viewed as one of the safest offensive linemen to arrive through the draft in many years, but the St. Louis Rams rookie is struggling with his switch from bookend to guard.
"It's frustrating that I'm not up to pace right now because the playbook is more intense and things are changing but once I get back to where I'm comfortable, things will calm down and I can be myself out there," Robinson said this week, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com.
The No. 2 overall pick will ultimately make his way back to left tackle -- where he'll stay for years to come -- but for now Robinson is busy learning a position that he hasn't played since high school.
"I didn't know what to expect, honestly," said Robinson, after playing exclusively with the first team all offseason. "I put a lot of pressure on myself because I like to challenge myself. It's something I want to do and just stand out to the coaches and let them be comfortable with their choice."
Play-caller Brian Schottenheimer crowed about "how strong he is, how athletic he is," calling the former Auburn blocker a "naturally talented" athlete bound to pick up the system in time.
Robinson is battling through some stuff, but he's already won us over with an honest quote or two that flies in the face of this silly season's rash of hyper-tired storylines.
In the latest episode of the "Around The League Podcast," the heroes discuss the winners and losers of minicamp season.

New styles from timepiece legend Ingersoll. Classic & complicated automatic mechanical watches featuring power reserve meters, dual timezones, exposed movements, retrograde displays, triple date calendars, chronographs and more!
Check out the entire Ingersoll Watch Collection
Over the course of their highly successful careers, Robert and Charles Ingersoll -- founders of one of the oldest American watch companies -- are acknowledged to have reached many milestones in the development and sale of pocket watches and wrist watches.
In 1880, the two sons of Orville Ingersoll -- a farmer from Michigan -- founded their enterprise in New York by producing and selling various articles for which they believed there was a general demand. Until that time, pocket watches were expensive luxury items, available to an exclusive few, because their manufacture entailed a great deal of highly skilled labor.
The Ingersoll brothers pursued ambitious aims: on one hand to sell watches to a broad public and on the other hand to offer reasonable prices while providing high quality. Alongside the existing hand-made watches, in 1882, thanks to Henry Ford, they succeeded in developing automated production, first for pocket watches and later for wrist watches.
Manufacturing high quality items under the motto of "One watch exactly like the other," they charged the very reasonable price of one dollar (a single day's wages at the time). This was how the so-called "Dollar Watch" or "Yankee" was born, of which over a million were produced. The advertisement for them, at the time, read: "The watch that made the dollar famous." The Ingersoll brothers achieved considerable success through their innovative sales policy.
By the end of World War I, Ingersoll was able to demonstrate sales of 50 million pocket watches along. Ingersoll customers included speakers of 20 different mother tongues. Even Mark Twain, whose "Tom Sawyer" and "Huckleberry Finn" embodied the quintessential image of the young American, was so eager to own a "Dollar Watch" that he sent his order directly to the company. Thomas Edison relied on his "Yankee" and even Theodore Roosevelt mentioned that while hunting in Africa he was described as "The man from the country where Ingersolls are produced".
The history of the United States is reflected in the Ingersoll legend. A legend that lives on!

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) Iranian sports fan and activist Darya Safai returned to the Olympic volleyball venue Monday repeating her message and hoping the whole world hears: ''Let Iranian Women Enter Their Stadiums.''
After discussions with about a half-dozen venue officials leading up to the Iran men's team's match with defending champion Russia, she was allowed to stay and hold her sign in a front-row, courtside seat.
''They said I can stay. I am here to stay,'' she said.
On Saturday, she was in tears when security officials told her she would have to leave if she kept it. Olympic officials do not allow political statements at the games, though the 41-year-old Safai insists ''it's a gender message.''
Her tears were of joy Monday, when Iran lost in straight sets but her voice was heard. She posed for photos with fans, giving the thumbs-up sign and a peace sign.
''This sign to me, it means a lot,'' said Safai, born in Tehran but living in Belgium. ''The people protect me.''
The Olympics have provided the chance for some Iranian women to see a volleyball game for the first time.
Women are generally banned from all-male sports events in Iran. The men's volleyball team reached its first Olympics and still had a shot at the quarterfinals.
Safai initially sat in a seat that had better visibility for television cameras, even though she paid for a different one. By the third set, she had to move once someone came for that seat.

Security at the Sears store in the Rhode Island Mall told police on March 13 that they saw Keith J. Shalvey, 30, of 14 Sherri Dr. in Coventry buy several items from their tool section and then got back to the automotive section and use the shopping bag to conceal three wrench sets before he walked out of the store without paying for the concealed wrenches that cost a total of $144.95 He was later released with a summons.
A Providence woman was accused of taking a comforter set worth $179.20 from the stock at Kohl's in the Rhode Island Mall and presenting it at the return counter as a merchandise return on March 20. Jocelyn B. Marcotte, 33, of 160 Broad St. in Providence was charged with obtaining money under false pretenses and being a habitual shoplifter after her record was checked and police found merchandise from other stores and an EBT card that did not belong to her. She was held for arraignment.
Jacelyn Blow, 25, of 100 Main St. in Hope was charged with stealing $236.64 worth of Enfamil from the Shaw's supermarket on Warwick Avenue on March 19. Police said they also found prescription drugs and five syringes on her. She was held for the Bail Commissioner.
A 29-yearold Saunderstown woman told police she was inside Planet Fitness on Pace Boulevard around 7 p.m. on March 24 and returned to find the passengers side window smashed and her purse missing. She said there were numerous credit and bank cards in the purse, along with her identification and $1,000 in cash. No witnesses.
Officer Christian Vargas reported he was dispatched to the Dunkin Donuts at 860 Post Rd. on March 19 around 4:40 p.m. for an accident with no injuries. He said he arrived to find a pickup truck pushed up onto the curb with substantial rear end damage. He said the driver of the pickup told Vargas he was in the lot, drinking his coffee when he was violently rear-ended by a black Jeep, and then pointed to the Jeep, a few spaces over. Vargas said the driver was still behind the wheel of the Jeep and mumbled when he was asked about what happened and said he claimed he spilled coffee on his lap and was distracted and that caused him to lose control of the Jeep and he hit the back of the truck. He said he asked the drivers for their paperwork and noticed that the Jeep driver was unsteady on his feet and leaned on the vehicle to keep his balance. He said the man had little luck locating his papers and ended up spreading them all over the ground beside the driver's door. He said the driver appeared to be under the influence of some drug and the driver said he was on methadone but denied taking any additional drugs. He did admit he had a prescription for Oxycontin but did not take any that day. Vargas requested that an officer certified in narcotics recognition be dispatched to the scene. Officer Jedidiah Pineau arrived and examined the driver and said he suspected the driver was on drugs because of his demeanor and the constricted pupils indicated the driver was on drugs. He said the driver failed a field sobriety test and said he had knee surgery about a year before but agreed to try the test. Vargas said he stopped the test when it appeared the driver might hurt himself. He said a portable breath analyzer indicated no alcohol. Thomas R. Carlo, 52, of 139 Aborn Ave. in Warwick was arrested for suspicion of DUI and taken to Kent Hospital where he refused to take a blood test. He was taken back to headquarters where he was processed and charged with DUI and refusal and then taken back to Kent for detox. Vargas said an inventory search of Carlo's vehicle turned up a prescription for oxycodone and two empty prescription bottles, one for soma and another for oxycodone. The bottle that contained pills had 42 30mg pills left from an oxycodone prescription for 75 pills that had been filled the day before. He said he asked Carlo where the other pills were and he told him he left them at home. Vargas said he told him earlier that he had moved out of his home and taken all his belongings with him. He was charged with DUI and refusal.
Officer Hovsep Sarkisian reported he was on patrol around 1:30 a.m. on March 24 when he got a call about an intoxicated woman assaulting a customer at the Sunoco station on Post Road who then fled onto Kilvert Street. He said Sgt. Thomas Snow called in that he had located tphe suspect vehicle on Jefferson Boulevard and was following it and that he was pulling it over. Sarkisian said he met Snow near the Route 37 ramp and told him he saw the car swerving in and out of lanes and over the double yellow line before he stopped it. Sarkisian said the woman appeared to be intoxicated and smelled of alcohol. He said she claimed she only had one beer. He said the driver agreed to a field sobriety test and failed it. He said she was also given a preliminary breath test and blew a .141 on the portable analyzer. He said he transported Samantha J. Paolino, 21, of 138 Shadow Brook Dr. in Warwick became belligerent on the way to headquarters and threatened to sue Sarkisian and called him a "bitch" and other usually feminine insults and said he was harassing him. He said he asked her to take a breath test at headquarters and she asked him for advise and he told her he could not advise her and she had to make up her own mind. He said she eventually refused the test but continued to threaten to sue him and have his job and his house. Paolino was charged with DUI and refusal and later released to a sober adult.
Officer William DiGiulio reported a drunk driving in progress on March 24 around 1:25 a.m. The driver of a van told the dispatcher he was following the car on Post Road near Roger Williams Auto Sales when he had to drive off the road to avoid being hit by the car and had followed it onto Coyle Street and then onto Prospect Street, where the suspect pulled off the road. DiGiulio said he arrived there about the same time and other police arrived and took a statement from the witness while he gave a field sobriety test to the suspect. He said the driver told him someone was following her and that was why she pulled over. He said she smelled strongly of alcohol and appeared to be drunk and failed a field sobriety test. He said he arrested the driver and took her to headquarters where she blew a .154 and a .160 blood alcohol content on the breath test.
Officer Michael Walker reported an accident in the area of 4162 Post Rd. around 2:15 a.m. on March 23. He said he found a Nissan Pathfinder with heavy front-end damage from colliding with a telephone pole hard enough to break the pole at the base. He said a female standing beside the SUV said she was the driver and told him she was reaching for her cell phone when she lost control and hit the pole but Walker said he noticed she smelled of alcohol and had bloodshot eyes and had difficulty maintaining her balance. He said she agreed to a field sobriety test and she failed it. He said she also agreed to a preliminary breath test on the portable analyzer and that indicated a blood alcohol content of .266. He said Warwick Rescue arrived and said she should be taken to the hospital for evaluation because she was not wearing a seatbelt and her head had cracked the windshield. Walker said Briana J. Derry, 30, of 80 Ferncrest Ave. in Cranston refused a blood test at the hospital and was charged with DUI and refusal and left in the car of the hospital staff.

Najiba scrabbles through cupboards frantic for something sweet. She claws at her mother, urging her to help. Najiba, though only 13 years old, lives in the Sanga Amaj drug addiction rehab clinic in Kabul with her mother, Zainab – who is also an opium addict, a habit acquired from her husband and passed on to her daughter.
"When she was born, she kept crying, so after two months or so I started giving her opium to keep her quiet," says Zainab. (Her and Najiba's names have been changed to protect their privacy.)
The result is a drug dependency that Najiba is now desperately fighting.
Yet she is neither alone among Afghan children addicted to opium, nor among the worst affected. For starters, she's one of a small minority getting professional help.
Opium as a pacifier
Opium is used in parts of Afghanistan to quiet babies and, in poorer households without access to medical help, to relieve pain – trends exacerbated by decades of conflict. Economic pressures and fragmented families have meant that women have less help at home and are more likely to give opium to cranky children, to free themselves up to do housework.
"Opium is sometimes used as a child-rearing method," says Preeti Shah, a Narcotics Affairs Officer of the US Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) in Kabul.
The conflict has also left people with deep physical psychological wounds, which they try to numb with narcotics.
A two-year pilot study by the INL on drug addiction and household toxicity in Afghanistan found that babies as young as nine months were testing positive for narcotics, says Thom Browne, deputy director of the INL's anticrime programs. It also found that in many cases, the level of toxicity in young children was several times higher than that in adult heroin users. The study, which looked at 30 households in three provinces, will be expanded to cover 2,000 households in 22 provinces next year.
While other countries also face cases of babies born with addiction, in Afghanistan the problem deepens as parents continue to administer drugs to their children. According to a recent report by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), up to half of drug users surveyed gave their children opium. The INL found in their study of Afghan drug users' homes significant samples of opium in the air, bedding, eating utensils, toys, and other items that children come into contact with.
Treatment as taboo
Treating drug addiction is not easy anywhere, but is especially difficult in Afghanistan because of social and cultural stigmas against females going outside the home. Many families are reluctant to let women come and stay at Sanga Amaj for the 45-day treatment period, let alone the preferred 90-day period, says Latifa Hamidi, the doctor who oversees the clinic. Even surveying women proved near impossible – they constituted only 3 percent of the UNODC's sample size.
Even more helpful would be treat the entire family, says Gilberto Gerra, the UNODC's chief of drug prevention. Otherwise, "if a woman goes back to a home where her husband is using drugs, the risk of relapse is very high."
Although cultural taboos prohibit men and women being treated together, the INL hopes to build treatment centers for men and women near one another, to allow family members to visit one another. Sanga Amaj, which opened in 2007, represents a step in that direction, by treating women and their children together.
The clinic's 33 patients include 15 children, the youngest of whom is 3 years old. Zainab and Najiba have been here for two weeks. In addition to attending group therapy sessions and receiving medical treatment, during they day they exercise, sit in religion classes, and learn skills like sewing and embroidery. At the end of their time, they will go home to Zainab's husband, who has already undergone treatment. If Zainab and Najiba stay clean, they will be entitled to free medicine from the clinic.
Facilities like Sanga Amaj are few. Kabul only has four, which can handle about 100 patients. Of Afghanistan's 1 million drug users, at least 90 percent have no access to treatment, according to the UNODC.
Expanding treatment facilities would require considerable foreign aid and expertise, but does not rank high on donors' list of priorities. These include instead ending the poppy farming and drug trade that make Afghanistan the supplier of 90 percent of the world's opium.
"Afghanistan is known for being a supply country," says Ms. Shah. "It is time to recognize it is a demand country as well."

MortenK necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 116 diseños de 31 diseñadores freelance.
Vitesse / Vitesse Digital
We're a 1 year old startup, which have recently changed our name to "Vitesse", meaning "speed" in French.
We focus on selling software development services, as well as dedicated offshore personnel to customers primarily in the marketing and advertising sector, as well as in the more "hardcore" software development industry.
We're relatively young, fast and efficient and have a large international network. We want to leverage quality offshore suppliers by selling their products and services in markets, which they themselves often can not reach.
For our clients, we help describe their vision based on their needs (writing software specifications, vision / scope documents etc). After this we help them find the best team / company for the job / need.
As such, we do a lot of international business, connecting clients in one country with suppliers in another.
Regarding the name: Our corporation will be named Vitesse Digital, but our brand will possibly just be "Vitesse". If someone comes up with an interesting logo for the name Vitesse Digital, we will definitely consider this.
As mentioned, our clients are primarily in the marketing and advertising sector, as well as in software development. Most of our suppliers are naturally in IT, usually software development / IT consultancy. Obviously we have clients and suppliers in many different countries, so the logo should hopefully cater to an international crowd.
We have initially thought of something which looks classy, and possibly a bit conservative. Initially, we envisioned "Vitesse" or "Vitesse Digital" written in black on a white background, in some form of classic font, and possibly with some special V character. The idea was to signal style, high-class and serious business.
Right now we are a bit in doubt though, as we obviously want to hit our target group in the best way. We are not completely sure, that we should go for a conservative look, so if the designers out there has any great ideas, we'd love to see them.
Some of our values are speed, efficiency, building high value for our clients and a dependable delivery. I guess the logo needs to say "these guys are dependable professionals".
So as you can se, we don't know exactly what we want, but we want it when we see it ;)
We have now gotten very good submissions, which I think match exactly what we describe in the above.
I know this will sound horribly vague, but we want to try and see something which is a bit more funky / upbeat / high quality agency / young startup (without going too much into animal mascots and the like).
We'd love to see a logo in a design style, which strenghens what we stand for. What we stand for is ofcourse sales and offshoring, but also high quality web solutions, like large websites, webshops, flash games, ria web applications etc (as this is what we sell to our clients).
