SQL Developer, Migrations and Third Party Databases
There is lots to tell you about the trip, the work they are doing and have already released and I'll come back and tell you more another time, right now I want to give you a dip into something you can test in SQL Developer.
Part of the Migration Workbench functionality is the ability to connect to and review the objects in a third party database, such as MySQL, SQL Server and Access. In fact these are the three third party databases the team are targeting for their first release. So the Migration Workbench extension to SQL Developer, will allow you to browse your third party database, and then migrate all or some of these objects and data to Oracle. Very exciting! Well, the full Workbench is only due for next year. What we've added to SQL Developer 1.1 is the ability to connect to and browse a third party database. Here's How:
1. JDBC Drivers: Assuming you have an MySQL or SQL Server database, verify you have the correct jdbc drivers. This Getting Started document on SQL Developer 1.1 has links for you to download the drivers you will need.
2. SQL Developer 1.1: This functionality will only be available in SQL Developer Release 1.1. You can test the functionality with the current evaluation release, 126.96.36.199.71, available from here.
3. In SQL Developer, navigate to the Tools menu: Preferences >Database > ThirdParty JDBC Drivers.
4. Click Add Entry and add your specific jar file.
The jars on this preference panel are used for all third party databases.
5. Now you can add your connections. Navigate to the Connections dialog and add a new connection.
My example is for a MySQL Database. As for Oracle, be sure your third party database is up and running!
6. Test and save the connection. Note, in my example I have an ACCESS connection tab too. This will be available in the SQL Developer releases post Evaluation Release 3 (126.96.36.199.71.)
7. You should now see the third party connection in the navigator. Remember this is read only access you have. However, the appropriate tabs and details are available for you to browse and review your database objects.
Have fun!

This is really really cool!
I can't personally test it (I still owe you TimesTen re-test), but I think you could also post about it in the forum and ask for specific beta testing of this functionality

I run Linux on my desktops and I work with many cusotmers who use Linux throughout their organization on desktops as well. I also use SQL Developer frequently and love the tool!
If I want to run SQL Developer with the Migration Workbench plugin, will you force me to do this under Windows and if so, how long will we have to wait to see SQL Developer with the Migration Workbench extension released for Linux?

You can use SQL Developer on any platform, as you have seen. So the ability to access the non-Oracle databases will be available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X too. The Migration Workbench Extension, when it's available, will also be available for all those platforms, when it is released.

This is great and will let us stay on one UI while connecting to multiple databases. Something that I encountered last week and not sure if I should bring it up here. I am a big Toad user and have found it hard to switch to another UI. Oracle Consultants were here last week, helping us with a BI setup - they convinced me in switching to SQL Developer - so while they were here I used SQL Developer - there was one issue I ran into frequently was seeing the DDL scripts behind tables , I would go to scripts tab and nothing would come up - the consultants here as well noticed the same behavior - I don't remember the version off the top of my head but can that for you. May be I am just hitting a bug from an older version?

We did find some objects do not have the DDL displayed in the evaluation releases, but this has been fixed for the later builds.
There is alos the chnace that you don't have access to the DBMS_metadata packages. Take a look at the FAQ on the Exchange: http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=42626:18

Hello Sue,
not quite related to your blog entry, so answer at your own discretion:
In the Whats New section of the release notes for v.1.1 the first entry under subsection 1.4 General is:
"Import data from spreadsheet (CSV or XLS format) into a table using SQL Developer".
I have however been unable to find documentation on how to do this. Nor have I been able to find any button or menu item for this. Can you supply a quick pointer on how to do this?
Really appreciate it!
- Wed Dec 20, 02:59:00 pm GMT
With regards to my request for help on Excel import, one of my colleagues found the way to do this, by precreating the table, right-click it and select Import.
So you can basically just ignore the comment, and just go celebrate the Christmas holidays instead.
Hope to see some more of your great photos in the other blog, maybe with a christmas theme, though that might be difficult with the current weather situation.
Ok, enugh ranting, wish all the best for you and your family for the holiday season.

Thanks for the info, I like the ability to connect to other databases, I work as a DBA in an ISV and such a tool will only help mind share go Oracle's way. If the developers can have a single point of RDBMS interaction then it will help them. Our product was first developed on sqlserver because it was easier to install and get off the ground, MS are still ahead in this respect.
From my limited experience, Aqua Data Studio is the best for the "all RDBMS" job, but it's not free.
So back to SQL Developer, couple of issues.
I've not managed to connect to a named SQLserver instance, i.e. hostname\sql2005. The driver supplier say it should be possible, and Aqua Studio manages this.
In sqlserver I also get no tables (very few) when I've logged on without selecting a default DB, this is a bit counter-intuitive and not what other MSSQL accessing tools do. Once logged as sa you should really be able to see everything.
Can't see indexes.
I may be being a bit early on this and it appears that MSQL support has only just appeared and will only get better.
Who knows it may replace TOAD in my affections, but only once it does ORCL and MSSQL, thanks for the driver info and keep up the good work.
- Thu Dec 21, 05:58:00 pm GMT
Will SQL Developer ever support SQL Server to do more than just browse? Our product is 85% Oracle, but we support SQL Server for smaller clients. I'm still looking for a JDBC tool that supports both databases nicely.
- Wed Feb 28, 01:18:00 pm GMT
- Sue said...
The main intention is for SQL Developer to support read only connections to third party tools. This is the initial phase for those folk wanting to migrate from other databases to Oracle and can browse what they have before the migration. However, the SQL Worksheet is available and so limited updating is possible. The current focus is not on extending the browsing capabilities, just yet.

Hi, any of you have found a way to connect to named instance in MS SQL server like "server\instance" ?
Thanks, Pablo

You are best asking this quetion on the main SQL Developer forum.(http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=260) Both your question and answer can get lost on the blog.

I am using Oracle SQL Developer to play around with MySQL Version 1.5.1. I can't seem to get the dates displayed as "date" or "date-time-stamp". For example, a date and time portion from a MySQL table is displayed as follows:
What is amiss?
Please help.

Shea Vaughn doesn't look like a grandmother. She doesn't even look like she's old enough to be the mother of actor Vince Vaughn (she's got three other kids, by the way: Victoria, Valeri and stepson Danny). What keeps Shea looking half her age? Her SheaNetics health and wellness classes (sheanetics.com). I sat down with Vaughn to find out why she loves her job for this week's Take This Job and Love It.
Weigel: You combine several different types of methods in your classes, from yoga and Pilates to martial arts and Tai Chi. You describe it as "East meets West" with a nod to the late Bruce Lee, who combined several different fighting styles and philosophies into a way of life that he called Jeet Kune Do. Explain why it's important to use a variety of techniques?
Vaughn: I wanted to make it fresh, creative and challenging. And the challenging aspect is really important. If somebody thinks they are going to find fitness and wellness instantly, they are cheating themselves. They don't want to put the time in. The truth is that nothing is instant. And it's not just about having physical activity in your life, but your diet, and your attitude. It all works together.
Weigel: You talk about using "Five Living Principles" in your philosophy of well-being -- Commitment, Perseverance, Self Control, Integrity, and Love. Why did you choose these specific principles?
Vaughn: These are not words, but things that we bring into our hearts and minds, starting with that contract we make with ourselves to better our lives. I try to get my students to be more present -- to marry mental and physical well-being techniques. Those people who are looking for instant pudding -- they are going to miss the journey. I'd rather do the hard work up front, because if I do, then I know things will get easier. … I always tell people it's about the journey and not the destination.
Weigel: You have almost as many male students as female. Do you find that surprising?
Vaughn: Not at all. Men in general -- even thinking about a yoga or Pilates mat class, they'll look at it and think, "I can't do that move." It's not about the move. It's about the sequences and how they are put together to help them with flexibility to stay in the game and play it longer. I have golfers or basketball players and they say their balance has improved and they become more proficient. Their muscles get more flexible.
Weigel: What's the most rewarding part of seeing your students thrive?
Vaughn: Watching people with health issues feel better is probably the best part of my job. From Parkinson's to back pain or arthritis, people don't realize that by moving and pushing your body, you can improve your flexibility and decrease the pain. My mother was a dancer. She suffered from osteoporosis. She's no longer with us, and I just wish I knew then what I know now.
Weigel: Where can people find your classes?
Vaughn: I teach at several locations on the North Shore, but starting in January, I'll be in the city working with Valeo at the JW Marriott.
Weigel: Valeo?
Vaughn: It's a revolutionary wellness destination that is opening in January. They have a personalized approach to every guest. We want to help each person define and achieve their fitness and wellness goals. Say someone comes in and says, "I only have time for a foot and head massage" -- then that's what they'll get. Again, it's wellness defined by YOU.
Weigel: And finally, I have to ask -- how's everyone feeling about the new addition of Vince and Kyla's 's baby daughter? (Locklyn Kyla Vaughn was born Dec. 18.)
Vaughn: I love all my grandkids. We feel so blessed. Of course I'm biased but Locklyn's beautiful and sweet. Such an angel was delivered to our family.
Do you love your job? Tell us why, and you could appear in a future edition of Take This Job and Love It!

Mail3 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 60 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
Terapi Nord (http://www.terapi-nord.dk)
I am a psychotherapist in Denmark.
I help couples get back together and learn new tools to keep their family together.
I help individuals find their way in life.
I deal with personal development, anxiety, jalousy, selfesteem (I wrote a book about that) and coping.
I am not a doctor and I am not a healer - somewhere in between :)
My website addresses individuals and couples who need help to get better at communications, setting boundries, finding their way or their passion - learning to love themselves.
I also do classes and lectures in selfesteem on schools and companies all over the country.
The webpage has existed for several years and I feel it is time for a new design. I run Joomla.
Right now there is only a menu on the left side and the last link is a list of articles.
I would like it to change so my services, contact info etc is in a topmenu and the articles are in a left menu - easier to see and pick exactly what the client needs.
The website is too dark as it is now, I need it to lighten up - maybe in lavender or similar colors?
The name Terapi Nord must be in Trajan Pro and be underlined with "Giv dig en chance" (give yourself a chance) which is my "slogan".
The blue doodle must be represented somewhere on the front page design - it's not a logo but I have in every other marketing item I have.
I will attach it. You can turn it or place it or show any part of it you want.
I am not going to put different designs on my website, so we are talking about one design for the main page, that will include the top and left menu. That design will be used on all other pages - like it is now.
Not many psychotherapists have websites that are designed I'm afraid, so I can't show you anything I like.

The broth is clear and flavoursome and more fragrant than I expected. I was convinced there was cinnamon in there somewhere which I thought was very unexpected in Vietnamese cuisine. Because of my fear of death by coriander I don't get to try as much Pho as I would like, but this one is a winter winner. The slivers of meat are tender and tasty, and the serve of the silky and slippery rice noodles was huge! Although I tried to eat as much as I could, my efforts hardly put a dent on my big bowl!

Just thought of this…if you are doing the cooking, make sure you aren't also doing the child care. That way madness lies. Decide who is cooking and who is doing everything else. I have been married a long time and my husband and I NEVER cook together and never have. Two bosses = knife crimes. If you aren't having a kids' table, make sure the kids know how to behave at the table or everyone will suffer. And let them get down to play after the main course. I guarantee they will return at the sight of pie and ice cream.

The Home Secretary's refusal to tell scores of immigrants and refugees why they have been refused British citizenship has triggered a legal battle over "secret justice".
Theresa May declared that she was not satisfied the unsuccessful applicants were "of good character".
But she said she could not give the reasons because of "national security" considerations.
It is understood that up to 100 applicants are going to the High Court to seek damages and declarations that they are victims of a breach of natural justice.
They want rulings that the decisions to refuse naturalisation under the 1981 British Nationality Act without giving adequate reasons were legally flawed and a violation of human rights.
The Home Office has indicated applicants were turned down because there was "reason to believe" they had made "extremist" Islamic statements to others or in some other way acted in a way that might threaten national security.
The applicants argue in their requests for judicial review that they are being denied the fundamental "right to know" enough of the evidence against them so that they can seek to rebut it.
Counsel for one applicant described her client as the victim of "secret denunciation - the stuff of nightmares".
Before the cases can be heard at London's High Court a highly controversial preliminary issue has to be resolved.
It amounts to: can the Government use a "closed" procedure to fight off the pending legal challenges.
This would involve excluding the applicants from court while secret evidence said to be "security sensitive" was put before a judge.
Recently Justice Ouseley heard opposing submissions from lawyers for the applicants and for the Home Secretary and will shortly give what could be a landmark decision for "secret justice" cases in which national security issues are raised.
The judge heard argument in the four lead cases of AHK, AS, FM and AM, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
James Eadie QC, representing the Home Secretary, argued that a "closed material procedure" (CMP) should be adopted at the pending hearings.
Lawyers for the applicants said this would hit at the fundamental principles of natural justice and fairness that underpinned the rule of law.
They urged the judge to order the Government to follow the more traditional route of applying to the court for security sensitive material to be kept confidential under what they contend would be a fairer "public interest immunity procedure"(PII).
The PII process would mean a judge deciding what material should be disclosed openly in the interests of the fair administration of justice and what should remain undisclosed to protect national security interests.
Crucial to the "CMP v PII" dispute is the Supreme Court case of Al Rawi, in which the Government wanted to use closed evidence to rebut human rights abuse claims for damages brought by claimants, including a former Guantanamo Bay detainee.
The Supreme Court justices ruled that, as there was "no statutory authority" for any form of closed evidence process, its use was "impermissible".
At the High Court, Eadie submitted to Justice Ouseley that judicial review cases in which Government decisions came under challenge were different from the situation in Al Rawi.
In written statements before the court, Eadie argued that naturalisation was "a privilege not a right" and, although the context was a relatively serious one, it was not to be compared with Al Rawi, which alleged claims of detention, rendition and mistreatment.
Even though there was no specific statutory authority for CMPs, judicial review cases involving security sensitive material should be regarded as in "a special category" and closed evidence admitted, submitted Eadie.
There was nothing "fundamentally inimical to the rule of law" in having a closed process.
Eadie said it would be ironic if cases about applicants wishing to become British citizens required the disclosure of information "that might put at risk the safety of British citizens".
He contended the PII process provided no solution as to how the court should proceed in a case where the Home Secretary's decision was based on sensitive material which could not be made open.
Lawyers for the four applicants argued the closed evidence approach would be unjust.
Stephanie Harrison, representing AS, said it would breach "a fundamental principle" contained in the Al Rawi ruling - "the right to know the case against you".
Introducing closed material in judicial review proceedings, and excluding the applicants from court while it was considered, would be both controversial and inherently unfair.
Ms Harrison described AS as a refugee from Libya who has lived continuously in the UK since September 2000.
The 43-year-old applied for UK citizenship in 2005, but the secretary of state refused in August 2008 on national security grounds, saying that to give reasons would be "contrary to the public interest".
AS challenged the decision. He was told in January this year his naturalisation had been refused because there was reason to believe he had made statements "of an Islamist extremist nature" to a number of individuals.
There was also reason to believe he had been involved in "a range of activity for the purpose of advancing an Islamist extremist agenda".
Ms Harrison argued that was still insufficient information to allow AS to make effective representations to rebut the allegations, which were "deeply damaging" to his reputation and had left him stateless.
"Citizenship is the foundation status in any society for exercising important civil and political rights," she argued.
"Critically what is an issue is not just the denial of citizenship but the implication that you are of bad character, and more significantly there is the allegation you are involved in activities that threaten the national security of the UK.
"It could not be more serious in terms of reputation and all that that may mean."
"It is secret denunciation - the stuff of all nightmares."
The Home Secretary had failed in her public law duty to give proper reasons and the applicants should be given a fair opportunity to challenge her decision at the High Court, argued Ms Harrison.
If closed evidence was allowed, AS could lose his case and never know the reasons why.

Pirates designate Wandy Rodriguez for assignment
PITTSBURGH -- Languishing near the bottom of the NL Central a year after making the playoffs, the Pittsburgh Pirates couldn't wait any longer for struggling left-handed starter Wandy Rodriguez to get it together.
The Pirates designated the 35-year-old veteran for assignment Thursday, less than 24 hours after Rodriguez gave up six runs in 1 2-3 innings in a 9-8 victory over Baltimore.
"In our mind we felt best served to cut ties because in my mind I'm thinking, `You know what? I've seen guys of his ilk pitch backwards and recreate themselves.' ... We didn't feel that was our best option," manager Clint Hurdle said. "He's healthy his arm is healthy. He said it best, `Sometimes you give everything you got and it's not good enough."
Rodriguez was 0-2 with a 6.75 ERA in six starts this season. He spent time on the disabled list earlier in the year with a right knee inflammation. Though he insisted the knee was "OK" after his poor outing on Wednesday, Rodriguez allowed he was frustrated by his ineffectiveness.
The Pirates plan to fill Rodriguez's spot in the rotation with either right-hander Brandon Cumpton or left-hander Jeff Locke, an unlikely All-Star a year ago. Cumpton is 0-1 with a 4.26 ERA in two starts with Pittsburgh this season and has been dominant at Triple-A Indianapolis, where he is 4-1 with a 1.35 ERA. Locke is 1-1 with a 3.86 ERA at Triple-A.
"We've got a really good, real challenging decision," general manager Neal Huntington said. "We've got the ability to make a change if it doesn't work or have another option come up if we face another injury while we probably will."
Cutting Rodriguez will be costly for a team with one of baseball's lowest payrolls. Acquired in a trade with Houston in 2012, Rodriguez is scheduled to make $13 million this season, with the Pirates picking up $7 million of the tab. Rodriguez went 11-10 with a 4.16 ERA in 30 starts with the Pirates.
Huntington acknowledged the move will certainly raise eyebrows in a clubhouse that began Thursday at just 19-26 and well back of front-running Milwaukee in the NL Central. Yet Huntington felt it's one the team had to make. Pittsburgh's starting rotation -- a major strength while the team pushed to its first playoff berth in more than two decades last fall -- has regressed significantly. The four starters not named Gerrit Cole are a combined 1-17 this season.
Pittsburgh replaced Rodriguez on the roster Thursday by activating catcher Russell Martin from the disabled list. Martin hasn't played since straining his left hamstring against St. Louis on April 25. He will have to serve a one-game suspension for his role in a brawl against the Milwaukee Brewers last month and is expected to return to the lineup on Friday against Washington.

Images above from Curious 2012.
Tiptoe through one of London's most picturesque cemeteries, looking out for works of art. From this weekend the Curious art trail can be explored in West Norwood Cemetery. 21 artists will position site-responsive works around the burial ground, one of London's 'Magnificent Seven'. The installations use various media, including ceramics, sound, textiles, photography and even poetry, and are curated by Jane Millar. To give you a flavour, we've appended a few shots from last year's trail, which included a bus stop in the middle of a plot, a coffin-shaped rocking horse and ghostly outlines of graves. What sepulchral curiosities can we expect this year? We're dying to find out.
The trail opens this Saturday (22 June) and will remain in place until 28 July, and watch out for events on 6, 7 and 21 July, and the private view (all welcome) on 21 June, 6-9pm. Entrance is free.

Hello lovely people! Today I wanted to share my obsession for turtleneck sweaters. They resurface every winter and immediately create an elegant and sophisticated dimension to my looks. I particularly love to style turtleneck sweaters with a 70's feel by teaming them with a mini skirt and maxi collar winter coat. I often refer back to Mary Tyler Moore when I think of the perfect 70's turtleneck ensemble. I adore the fashion on her show! I encourage you all to invest in a classic turtleneck sweater to add to your winter wardrobe. Team it with either a wide leg trouser, leather mini skirt, pencil line skirt or even a full silk skirt and then of course layer with your winter coat and you'll make a statement.

Checkout HYPNOTEXT,
the 'web take' of the book, by Peter
(more about Peter Halley HERE)
Rhythm Science makes the UK Guardian Observer's
list of Books of the Year!
"Paul D. Miller - aka DJ Spooky, that Subliminal Kid - is an underground
treasure. An African-American cultural theorist-cum-musician, his Rhythm
Science (Mediaworks) is a sharp, sweetly designed little number, a manifesto
for his way of looking at the world. Tracing connections between Duchamp,
Debussy, the Wu Tang Clan and the everyday creativity he saw growing
up in Washington DC, he shows how art and idealism can activate each
other in this era of sampling and 'multiplex consciousness'. In its
range of reference and its fruitful speculations, it reminds me of our
own Kodwo Eshun's groundbreaking More Brilliant Than the Sun (Quartet)
of a few years back."
--Diran Adebayo, Writer
"Once again, Paul Miller has pushed the sonic arts and sciences
to a new level, and in the process re-mastered literary form. I guarantee,
this book will mess with your head, but in a funky way."
--Robin D.G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams:
The Black Radical Imagination
"Dj Spooky and COMA, together sampling provocative thoughts and
creative graphic design, have made Rhythm Science a fascinating
addition to today's book culture."
--Bernard Tschumi, Dean, Graduate School of Architecture,
Planning, and
Preservation, Columbia University
"We've ended the century of broadcast culture -- when manufacturers
produced the culture we consume. In this brilliant and beautiful book,
Paul Miller gives us the rhythm of sampled culture -- culture created
by those who can remix, and by technologies that enable anyone to remix.
Rhythm Science is science; it is art; it is the story of how
freedom would build better science and art. Dark, with bright flashes,
in tempo, with syncopation, it is a companion to the next stage, if
we're allowed that next stage despite law that would keep us locked
in the past."
--Lawrence Lessig, Stanford Law School, author of The
Future of Ideas: The Fate of
the Commons in a Connected World
"In Rhythm Science Miller remixes sounds and ideas with
equal dexterity.
A new vibe for a new world."
--John Akomfrah, film director
"It wouldn't much surprise me if DJ Spooky invigorates the intellectual
world someday as Professor Spooky or even Chancellor Spooky."
--Bruce Sterling, author of The Hacker Crackdown
and Tomorrow Now: Envisioning
the Next Fifty Years
"Paul Miller has got the brilliant negro thang down cold. This
is a meditation on music and self in which Paul plays with words much
the way DJ Spooky plays with sound."
-- Touré, author of The Portable Promised
"Miller's insights as a practicing and successful DJ are fresh
and unpretentious."
-- Publisher's Weekly
"Rhythm Science is a small book that makes a
huge leap for the culture of
the now. It's software for your head. Upgrade your grey matter.""
-- Roy Christopher, SLAP

The leaders of Zhejiang Sci-Tech University in Hangzhou, China, and SUNY Oswego have signed a "two-plus-two" agreement to jointly deliver bachelor's degrees to Chinese students in three majors: business administration, human resource management and marketing.
Oswego President Deborah F. Stanley hosted a delegation from the Chinese university led by ZSTU's chairman, Fei Junqing.
The agreement outlines degree programs in which students study for two years at ZSTU and then transfer to Oswego for the final two years of study, receiving degrees from both institutions, said Richard Skolnik, dean of the School of Business.
Skolnik said that he anticipates the first cadre of students to arrive at Oswego next fall, numbering 30 to 45 in all across the three majors.
At the formal signing ceremony, President Stanley said, "This agreement is full of promise for our two institutions, for the students who will earn these distinctive and empowering academic degrees, and for the communities here and in China where they will learn and practice their professions."
Oswego and ZSTU first established their partnership four years ago. More than 60 students from Zhejiang have studied at Oswego since 2007.
Oswego previously signed a similar agreement with Nanjing University of Science and Technology.

For paraplegics, one of the most exciting prospects is an exo-skeleton that they would be able to control with their mind. It would allow the paralyzed to not only walk and move on their own accord, but give them a new lease of freedom they would otherwise be denied. Scientists from the Duke University Centre for Neuroengineering in North Carolina have made a breakthrough in this field by training monkeys to control virtual arms on a computer with just their brain.
In an article in the journal Nature, the team describe how the monkeys were able to use the virtual arm to sense the texture of different virtual objects. This means paraplegics could not only move, but experience touch as well.
The rhesus monkeys were trained to control the arm solely by electrical activity generated in their brains. As if they were moving their regular arm, the monkeys were able to send out signals to control the arm while simultaneously getting electrical feedback to understand the texture of the objects that were touched.
Speaking about the research to the BBC, Professor Miguel Nicolelis said, "It provides us with the demonstration that we can establish a bi-directional link between the brain and an artificial device without any interference from the subject's body."
The monkeys, named Mango and Tangerine, also learned to play a video game with the virtual arm, where they had to capture three separate targets. Each target was identifiable by a different joystick vibration.
Of course there will be many who disagree with the use of monkeys in such experiments, especially as multiple electrodes were implanted in their brains and connected to the computer screen. However, these electrodes allowed the monkeys to then control the motor functions of the arm.
"We have an interface for 600 channels of brain signal transmission, so we can transmit 600 channels of brain activity wirelessly as if you had 600 cell phones broadcasting this activity. For patients this will be very important because there will be no cables whatsoever connecting the patient to any equipment."
The team is now working on a exo-skeleton that would be controlled by the user via sensory feedback. "When the patient commands this vest to move, it will not only carry their body it will provide the sensory feedback so that they know if they are stepping or walking or grabbing objects," Nicolelis explained.
The University is leading the Walk Again project, which is hoping to see the development of a fully operational exo-skeleton by 2016 that will be demonstrated at the Olympic Games. This technology would enable thousands of paralyzed people to move and touch again.
Of course, it could also see monkeys controlling exo-skeletons with their minds – we've seen Rise of the Planet of the Apes! The results could be disastrous.

Galaxy GeForce GT 640 GC 1GB DDR3 Review - GK107 is no GK104
The GK107 GPU
Video News
If this is not a complete waste of a card i dont know what is. looks like im buying a 6770... or an ageing 450...
did you try some overclock on this card? particularly the core,
this card as it is is far from a good choice at its price point, BUT with DDR5 and a higher clock it could probably compete well with the 550 Ti,
and that's one of the reasons why I think there is no GT 640 DDR5 right now... high demand for gk107 on mobile and OEM!? and still significant stocks of old gf106 stuff for sale (GTS 450, GTX 550 Ti)?
it's the only explanation I can see...
Would this make a good dedicated physx card?
Damn, that's pretty bad.
Where is comparison to GT 440? Comparing GT 640 to GTS 450 is like comparing GTX 550 TI to GTX 460.
BTW can you post synthetic from CUDA-Z, I'd like to see if float to double precision, and float to integer, ratios are the same as on GF 104.
If prices are as they are now, this is a perfectly valid comparison.
You wouldn't believe the amount of DDR5 GTS 450's & gen 2 460's im selling. Hell, the DDR5 440's outsell the 610,620 etc. 5-1.
GTS450 and the slim 550's are VERY popular for (ATX) HTPC use right now. With the exception of the 670,680 the entire 600 line is a total dud thus far..At least that what the consumers are saying with their wallets.
One good use for the GT 640 - works OOB in a Mountain Lion hackintosh. Much faster than integrated HD 3000
Which GT 640 did you use? The one reviewed here?
Hello guys, just wondering how does this card comapre to the nvidia gt240 i have with 1 gb ram ddr5.im looking to boost the graphics a bit.it has to fit into a hp case at the moment so i cant do a big card and the other limit im having is my 350 watt power supply,are the cuda cores the most important thing to look for or clock speed ?? thanks
If your on a budget and cant upgrade PSU
Galaxy - GeForce GT 440 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 Graphics Card
Is about as good as it gets.
I dont recommend buying the 640 if your PSU is rated at 350, because its pushing it, your system uses some of that 350 up already. It might be fine, but might not be either.
Its a valid review, but its missing the big sellingpoint of the NVIDIA 640.
Its a little faster then the 440 or 450 and It uses 350w power vs 300w power.
If your on a budget, don't really game, maybe only play one game like WOW or Diablo III. This is an amazing card.
I really didnt want to spend 200$ and buy a 150$ card + a new PSU just for 20~ fps
This is perfect for modded minecraft and a bit of light work in blender and other art programs.
I am happy with this graphics card but I am no expert. I can run Starcraft 2 on Ultra settings and Train Simulator 2013 on High settings. Milkdrop looks great. I can't run everything at full hd but it runs quietly.
Can the GT 640 support 3 displays out of the box without any active adaptors?
You guys have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
This card could easily run any game you throw at it at modest resolutions on medium to high settings.
Unless you're playing on a 40 inch display or multiple 20 - 30 inch displays, you're not going to be able to tell the difference visually between high and ultra in 90% of the games out there.
The GT 640 (And the GT 440) are probably two of the best budget cards on the market from NVidia.
I agree the GT440 DDR5 is one of the most underrated cards, Ive been using it for a couple years now and have it overclocked to almost 900 mhz and it plays all of my games well, not everyone has the money for the high end cards, Im gonna try this card out soon.
I just picked this card up a week ago or so for about 80 dollars at my local best buy. I'm running an aged Core 2 Duo 2.13gh and a limited 375watt psu. I was originally using a GeForce 9500GT...I am in that realm where I don't have money to throw out on a whole bunch of crap for a PC right now - - but I needed a little extra horsepower to play games like Tomb Raider and such. 6 or 8 months from now - -I may be in a better situation...but for now - - I had limited options and took a gamble on the 640 (This exact card, incidentally). So far, it rocks. Paired with this older processor and such...I don't really notice any of the "limitations" drawn from only having DDR3 ram and such. I am not rocking a Core i7 in this thing. I have a Core i7 machine back home with my parents that is running a 560 Ti - but i'm in Virginia..that thing is in Florida - - gotta do what I can with what I got. I'm also running on a 1280x1024 display, so I don't have super high resolutions to try and run at either. And oddly I can play Battlefield 3 Campaign with my presets from my Core i7 machine which are all Ultra. Don't really know why it's playable or if it's just a bug, but it seems to work just fine and without any really noticeable lag, will have to load up fraps and check the framerate. But in the end, for anyone with technical restraints and monetary restraints, I can say that this card is worth it... If you can get it under 100 dollars - - it's definitely worth it, and even more so if on an older machine like me.
can the galaxy geforce gt 640 support 300w psu?
Yes, it can, very suprisingly. Just expect to make a few tradeoffs.
I originally bought this exact card from Best Buy to put in my aging Dell machine on a Pentium 4 3ghz with 4gb of DDR2. FAR from modern modest specs, but I was on a budget.
Recently I upgraded to a budget gaming desktop (Also from Best Buy), the Gateway DX4885, which has a 3.16 ghz Core i5 with 8gb of DDR3. I got the system home and found out that they used a BTX Power Connector with a meager 300w supply, which makes upgrading next to impossible without changing the motherboard or buying from Gateway directly. I plan to eventually change out the board for something mainstream with more features, with an ATX connector, since the case itself is a regulard ATX case with a non-standard motherboard and supply. I have a 450w supply I had only recently purchased when the supply died on the replaced machine.
The GT640 would not boot without disconnecting the DVD drive, due to lack of power wattage. Howevever, removing power to the DVD drive (which I rarely need anyway) left me with enough wattage to power both the graphics card, and to also use the dvd SATA and power connectors for an extra notebook-size 1.5 TB HDD.
Ive owned this card more than a year and can tell u that any game is playable comfortably provided shadows and anti-aliasing are disabled or lowered.

To make a long story shorter, we had a great time browsing and people watching, but I didn't get the spinning wheel — a small flax wheel in good shape which went for nearly $200. (I should mention here that I already have a great wheel, that I got for a steal at another estate auction!) I also bid on a lovely secretary, the kind with a glass-door bookshelf above the hideaway desk. I wish I could post a picture for you (lesson learned: bloggers should take pictures even if they don't buy anything). The secretary was skinny, still had the key to its desk, and had that dark, almost black finish that I see in very old furniture in this area. And here I'll mention that dealers were present — I could have bid a little higher, but I didn't stand a chance.
I did find one thing, though, and came home satisfied without losing all my money! A stack of old postcards; I had seen only the top one because they were in a glass case until time to sell. I was very happy as I flipped through my new treasure to find that many of them were local. They had been written on and posted (with 1 cent stamps), dating around 1900 to 1909. The addresses consisted of just a person's name and the city — that's all they needed back then.
|Postcards - several are 100 years old.
A few were actual photographs, with that negative sheen on the dark portions.
A few birthday cards and letters were thrown in the lot. One letter, however, was written not in the early 1900s, but during World War II. The contents are so fascinating — not only great genealogical information, but also juicy gossip from a young local woman — that I'm considering posting the contents. But I need to check with a few people, first, because the author is local and may still be living.
Another thing I noticed was the use of the word "thy" on a couple of postcards, by the same writer to a friend. It could have been an endearment, but with the Quaker presence in this area and the timeframe, I wouldn't be surprised if the author spoke and wrote the second person familiar all the time.

THOMSON, Ga. — Investigators combed Georgia woods Thursday for clues about what led a small jet to overshoot an airport runway and crash, killing five people on board and injuring two others.
Among the seven passengers on board when the plane crashed Wednesday night were five people who worked for a vein clinic in Augusta in eastern Georgia, according to a doctor who works at another Vein Guys clinic in Nashville, Tenn. It was not immediately known if any of them survived.
Thomson-McDuffie County Sheriff Logan Marshall said two survivors were taken to hospitals. A man was in critical condition at Georgia Regents Medical Center in Augusta, hospital spokeswoman Christen Carter said. The condition of the other survivor, and where that person was taken, is not known.
The plane had taken off from Nashville, Tenn., and crashed while it was landing at Thomson-McDuffie Regional Airport, about 30 miles west of Augusta, Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said.
Georgia Bureau of Investigation spokesman John Bankhead said the five dead were taken to an agency lab in Decatur for autopsies. They have not been identified.
Five of those on board are affiliated with a vein clinic in Augusta that also has offices in Tennessee, said Dr. Stephen Davis, a plastic surgeon who works for the Vein Guys clinic in Nashville. Davis said those on board were: Dr. Steven Roth, two ultrasound technicians, a nurse anesthetist and a secretary. He said Roth regularly flew to Vein Guys clinics in the region, though other doctors working for the clinic did not travel.
Davis said his brother Dr. Keith Davis and Roth co-founded the clinic in Augusta. He described Roth as "a great guy, a great doctor, devoted to patients and his family."
Assistant County Fire Chief Stephen Sewell told the Augusta Chronicle that the two survivors were a pilot and a passenger. But he provided no additional information about those aboard.
A brush fire flared near the crash scene, in woods behind an industrial plant about a half-mile from the airport. Witnesses reported power outages that prompted a utility to send workers to the site, the newspaper reported.
The crash site was on the opposite side of a state highway from where the runway ends.
Patricia Reese and her husband live in a farmhouse near the site. She said Thursday they were watching TV on Wednesday night when they were startled by noise and a power outage.
"The lights blinked and went off, and all of a sudden we heard this noise," Reece said. "It sounded like thunder that just kept going on and on."
Reece's husband grabbed a flashlight and they headed into the pitch-dark field behind their home. They soon saw flashing lights from emergency vehicles and thick smoke pouring from the woods, she said.

daily monthly fortnightly weekly
..food for thought that is
its been a while we are unsubscribing and re subscribing and trying to get entertainment from the print media.
we all rethink (frankly get bored) of what we have been reading at some point of time or the other.
times of india is like is a pepp up. it comes with a lot of colourful supplements and the pepping up part is – u can browse through almost all of that before u finish a cup of tea. i mean theres too much visual relief
but little to read and think about. apart from politics and violence which if you chose not to read,
you can catch up the next day. all of it will look similar. then they have one editorial page, where the bachis and jugs of the world write till sarcasm kills.
too much footage for that one.
next, DNA. its concise and no frills. reader feels the same – no frills. 🙂
economic times is something we have settled to. it has something for everyone, yes they manage good matter without losing focus on economics of course.
now theres this entirely different category – magazines for women, which i am interested in.
a good magazine for a woman on the go should talk about issues that matter to her, money management the way women want to learn about (its much simpler than what they talk about in economic times hahaha), about homes, about quick kid lunches tips maybe, about kitchen tricks, about work life balance, about careers…in practical ways which i can conform with.
a little research in the area, showed me a wide spectrum on reading habits.
femina, the most leading fortnightly is just toooo glamourous for a normal woman to feel
good about anything. you pay 75 bucks every fifteen days to only and only see that u donot have designer
velvetty diamond studded footwear to match every dress, and have to remind yourself after every two pages that you are not in the modelling profession and hence donot own all those make up products and evening gowns. awwww gosh.
theres a magazine called "me" sent out be the DNA newspaper guys. i got it for a few months. it talks about successfull women, travel, and some trivia everytime. better. a lot of data though and no heart to heart connection.
in the us of a there was a good magazine i always read the redbook magazine. very balanced content and interesting issues.
compare that to the indian magazines and theres one thats close – new woman. balanced, all round content that matters. right now i am reading this before my noon siestas.

AT&T may have tried and failed to scoop up T-Mobile's precious swaths of wireless spectrum, but that doesn't mean the air is off the market. On Monday, Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile announced a complex deal of spectrum swaps and sales that, Verizon hopes, will help earn regulatory approval for Verizon Wireless's proposed $3.6 billion purchase of unused spectrum licenses from cable companies. T-Mobile had been one of many voices opposing that deal, saying it would effectively put even more spectrum into the hands of the company that's already the nation's largest mobile operator — which could be bad for competition and (ultimately) for consumers. Verizon says it needs the new spectrum to continue to innovate and meet demand for ever-more-robust mobile services.
The latest deal will unquestionably benefit T-Mobile as it attempts to bootstrap itself into an LTE operator — and a possible iPhone seller — in the wake of AT&T's aborted takeover. But will it also have the effect of making Verizon Wireless virtually unchallengeable in the mobile arena, giving it a stranglehold on digital services?
What's the deal?
The proposed deal between Verizon and T-Mobile has the companies both swapping and selling advanced wireless services (AWS) spectrum licenses in some 218 markets around the United States, including major markets like Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland, Minneapolis, and Seattle. Although the exact spectrum licenses won't be known until the companies file with the FCC, some of the exchanges will apparently be simple swaps: T-Mobile will be give Verizon Wireless some of its spectrum licenses; Verizon will give T-Mobile some of its licenses. T-Mobile will also be buying AWS spectrum licenses from Verizon for an undisclosed amount.
The deal is contingent on Verizon Wireless's proposed $3.6 billion acquisition of 122 spectrum licenses from cable companies including Comcast, Time Warner, and Bright House networks (jointly represented by a purpose-built firm called SpectrumCo). Some of the licenses Verizon wants to transfer to T-Mobile would be acquired from those companies. It sought out the cable companies' spectrum licenses in order to fuel its 4G LTE expansion; however, it is willing to make a deal with T-Mobile so both companies can better align their spectrum offerings in key markets—and offer more mobile bandwidth.
Verizon plainly hopes that selling some of the AWS licenses to T-Mobile will earn the FCC's approval of its spectrum purchases, which have run into opposition from both consumer advocates and Verizon's competitors, who say it would put too much spectrum into Verizon's hands. T-Mobile has been one of the most vocal opponents of Verizon's planned spectrum purchased, which makes the latest bargain a change of tune. Presumably, the proposed new deal with Verizon will be OK with T-Mobile, so long as it gets those AWS licenses.
T-Mobile and AWS
How would T-Mobile benefit? According to the company, it will gain AWS spectrum licenses covering some 60 million people, and improve T-Mobile's spectrum offerings in 15 of the top 25 markets in the United States. This boost could be crucial for T-Mobile, which has struggled as the only national mobile operator in the United States without a clear plan to transition to 4G services. (Never mind that T-Mobile has been billing its own flavor of amped-up HSPA+ as 4G for a couple years now.)
So, T-Mobile took the $4 billion consolation prize it got from the failed AT&T takeover and announced plans to upgrade its existing network, including plans for nationwide LTE service. However, T-Mobile's eventual LTE service will be a bit different from those being offered by the likes of AT&T and Verizon Wireless at the moment, for technical reasons. AT&T and Verizon both use 700MHz spectrum blocks, while T-Mobile's frequencies will be much higher in the AWS range. That means T-Mobile's network won't penetrate buildings as well as LTE networks built in 700 MHz blocks, but the move is still T-Mobile's best shot since it actually owns more AWS licenses than any other mobile operator.
There's no way T-Mobile is going to be able to acquire licenses to offer LTE services in the 700MHz block on a nationwide basis, so it must leverage the AWS assets it already owns. Acquiring additional licenses from Verizon Wireless would let T-Mobile expand AWS coverage in key markets, and the spectrum swaps enable both companies to align the licenses they own in particular markets into contiguous blocks to maximize mobile bandwidth.
Verizon and AWS
Here's the thing: T-Mobile isn't the only company banking on AWS licenses to make LTE work: Verizon and AT&T are betting on it too. Verizon and AT&T hold the majority of the 700MHz licenses in the United States, but neither company thinks it has enough holdings in the 700MHz bands to provide enough LTE service for everything businesses and consumers are going to want to do with mobile broadband from now until the end of time. So they're also both very interested in AWS spectrum licenses they can use to supplement their 700MHz holdings.
T-Mobile's extensive AWS licenses were one of the main reasons AT&T was willing to pay some $39 billion to acquire T-Mobile. Since the AT&T/T-Mobile merger fell apart, AT&T finalized a deal with Qualcomm to purchase 700Mhz spectrum that had been used by the company's failed MediaFlo mobile TV technology. However, AT&T got outmaneuvered by Verizon Wireless when it came to cable companies: Verizon's $3.6 billion deal would net AWS licenses that are basically sitting unused. Cable companies bought them thinking they needed to get into the mobile market, but have never done anything with them.
So Verizon would both score AWS licenses it can use to supplement its LTE capacity in the 700MHz band; and optimize those licenses in key markets, making sure it has the largest contiguous blocks possible to offer more bandwidth. SpectrumCo members (Comcast, Time Warner, and Bright House) will be able to resell Verizon Wireless service — think of those "quadruple play" bundles combining voice, cable, Internet, and mobile.
Verizon and competition
If both of Verizon's deals go through, (with the cable companies and then with T-Mobile), T-Mobile will have more spectrum licenses and potentially be in a better position to roll out LTE services nationwide. That, in turn, increases competition in the mobile broadband arena, and that's got to be a good thing, right?
Verizon Wireless certainly hopes so. It is apparently looking to this add-on deal with T-Mobile to assuage regulatory concerns about the deal with cable companies. But not everybody is convinced, and for good reason: The deal will still see Verizon Wireless — already the nation's biggest mobile operator — getting more spectrum licenses. Not only that, the deal effectively makes cable operators its customers through the resale agreements, and puts Verizon in a position to potentially get its new best buddies (the cable companies) to agree to sweetheart deals — perhaps some agreements on how to handle backhaul traffic or agreeing to limit delivery of over-the-top video services that might lead consumers to ditch cable TV service.
"The true danger lies not only in the concentration of spectrum in the hands of the leading wireless provider, but with the cozy, cartel-like arrangements between Verizon, Comcast, and the other MSOs party to the deal," wrote Public Knowledge senior VP Harold Feld in response to the proposed Verizon/T-Mobile deal.
Verizon Wireless would likely argue the cable companies were never its competitors anyway. After all, they'd never really done anything with their spectrum licenses and had never set themselves up as mobile operators. However, that narrow view may not hold water with regulators, who will be looking to see whether the deal with Verizon forbids cable companies from making similar reseller arrangements with other mobile operators, or how it could spill over to impact other services like online video.
And, weirdly, up until last week, T-Mobile was one of the most vocal opponents of Verizon's proposed spectrum acquisition from cable companies. Economists, regulators, and other industry watchers often assess the amount of competition in a particular market using the Herfindal Index (aka the Herfindahl–Hirschman Index, or HHI). There are no units for the index, but, basically, the higher the number, the less competition there is in a particular market. T-Mobile submitted an analysis of what Verizon's proposed spectrum deal would do to the market for LTE services in major U.S. markets (PDF). T-Mobile's conclusion? Of the 728 markets for which T-Mobile has data, 688 (95 percent) already quality as "highly concentrated" markets. After the proposed acquisition, that number would change to 716, and six of the top ten markets in the U.S. would have their concentrations increase 16 percent on average — meaning the HHIs would jump more than 500 points to totals over 3,500.
The future
Verizon and T-Mobile indicate they're hopeful both deals will be approved by the FCC later this summer.
T-Mobile will presumably withdraw its objections to Verizon's cable company deal, now that it has made its own side-deal with Verizon — and the exact impact of the spectrum acquisitions and swaps on the overall HHI numbers for individual markets can't be calculated until the full dossier of license changes is revealed. It may not be quite as dramatic as T-Mobile calculated last week.
However, it's impossible to imagine that Verizon Wireless will come out of the deal with less concentrated holdings in key markets than it has now — which, if T-Mobile (and Sprint and other members of the Alliance for Broadband Competition would have us believe) already represents a highly concentrated market with very limited competition.
In other words, if the deals are approved, Verizon will increase its control of LTE spectrum capacity, but T-Mobile will have managed to carve out a fiefdom for itself that, Verizon hopes, will convince the FCC mobile broadband competition is alive and well.

OK, here's the deal....
My friend Sara & I are going to be making a quilt for our friend's daughter's wedding. The bride likes those 1970's style aqua/turquoise & brown prints. This is what we are considering - a single Irish Chain, using those blues & browns in maybe Moda Marbles. Then, for the alternate blocks, I found some Michael Miller fabrics, in his "dumb dots" line, that are the right colors. One alternate block with polka dots, & the other with a print that will read a little darker. I ordered some of the M.Miller fabrics for samples, but, of course, 2 are backordered! Here's a pic of the one that came today, and a diagram of the quilt, with tan & aqua "standing in" for the print fabrics.
What do you think?
The backordered print is a denser pattern, more brown
Here's the layout of the quilt

Just Back From... A Family Vacation in Germany & Austria
With three kids in tow, Ron and Deanna Wetsch made a two-week trip to meet their eldest Caitlin, a student at Heidelberg University, and explore the castles and Alpine churches of Germany and Austria.
Great local meal… Dinner in Heidelberg. It was Christmas, and there weren't a lot of restaurants open, but we went into Palmbrau Gasse, a small quaint place that's one of Caitlin's favorites. We each had flamkuchen, a German-style pizza made with crème fraîche (a type of sour cream) rather than a standard tomato sauce. After a long, cold day of hiking around Heidelberg and the castle that overlooks the town, it was absolutely delicious.
Our favorite part… Exploring the ancient German city of Trier, located on the French-Luxembourg border. Originally settled by the Romans in the first century B.C., the town has Roman baths and a colosseum that are still standing. We visited several cathedrals and wandered around the old city, then went to the Christmas market in the picturesque main square. We sampled treats from the many different stalls and, of course, a mug or two of gluhwein (a hot mulled wine).
Worth every penny… Prior to the trip, we paid to download a Germany-Austria-Switzerland map for our GPS. I can't imagine trying to find our way in and out of some of these ancient cities, with their narrow cobblestoned and one-way streets, without it. The map was worth its weight in gold and saved us a lot of time.
Total rip-off… Driving into Austria on the autobahn, you are required to buy a window sticker (called a vignette) at the border for €8, which allows you to travel on their autobahn for 10 days. It isn't explained very well at the border, but if you fail to buy it on the way in, they will fine you very heavily (€110) when you try to get back out of the country. Luckily, the friends we visited in Austria warned us beforehand.
Fun surprise… In Bavaria, we spent part of an afternoon visiting the Wieskirche (church) in Wies and the Ettal monastery in nearby Ettal. Both were free (except for parking) and boasted absolutely beautiful rococo interiors. Also, both are located in small towns, with no crowds or traffic. The monks at the monastery even brew their own beer, which is available at nearby stores, and was quite good.
Overrated… The Neuschwanstein castle tour was a bit disappointing, as it involved a fairly long wait, especially considering it was off-season. And the brief tour itself was not very informative. But with three daughters who grew up watching Disney's Cinderella, we had to see it.
Moment when things got tense… We had a scheduled four-hour layover in Manchester, where the airport had an archaic and confusing system for transferring passengers and baggage between airlines. When we arrived, we talked with fellow travelers who had been stuck at the airport due to the blizzards occurring throughout Europe. One passenger was at the airport for her fourth straight day. Our layover eventually doubled to eight hours, but we made it out and arrived in Stuttgart with our luggage intact. Next time I will try to fly the same airline throughout or at least avoid Manchester.
Hotel we liked… We avoided hotels because, with a party of six and the small size of many European hotel rooms, we would have needed to rent two or three rooms each night. That would have busted our budget. Instead, for half the cost of the hotels, we rented an apartment in Heidelberg near the old city through homeaway.com and then one floor of a large chalet in Weissenbach in the Austrian Alps through tyrol.tl. Having the extra room to spread out and a kitchen where we could keep food and drinks was a definite plus.

Gift Cards
We have been selling gift cards through our main business for a while. We decided to branch it off as a separate website to be promoted on its own.
I am known for outrageous advertising, fun designs, and creative marketing. I want this website to resemble that unique, fun, outrageous creativity....while still having the feel of a reputable business.
health club owners, personal training studios
The website development is very simple. We only want a few pages, and those pages will not link to many (if any) sub pages.
BUT >> The few pages we do have, we want a really cool edgy design that will impress prospects. So what we lack in quantity of pages, we want to make up for in quality of design.
I tried to be very detailed in my project description you will find attached. I think I would like a lime green/gray/white theme. But I'm open to other color themes as long as they are fun and vibrant. I also mentioned a website that has a good layout in the attached description.
I also attached a design I found on this site that has a cool 3D feel to it and good colors and fun fonts and layout.
I would like you to have fun with this design.
I recognize that you may be limited in creativity somewhat with a wordpress platform, but I feel WP will be important for our SEO efforts.
And speaking of SEO, please use text when possible instead of graphics on headers and bullets, etc so that Google can spider the keywords. I understand to make a really nice graphical website, some areas will be graphic heavy, but when possible try to keep it Google friendly please.
I will respond quickly to all designs to help you design the perfect site for us!
Have fun!

P.S. A $50 Bonus if you can add a cool logo we like that goes well with the theme you design.
