Anatomy Of An Ultra4/KOH BuggyPosted in Features on December 11, 2013
If you're into off-road racing then you probably know the name Shannon Campbell. Even if you're not into off-road racing, you may still know the name Shannon Campbell. Forty three-year-old Campbell started wheeling in 1992. His first-ever off-road competition was at Top Truck Challenge 1996 where he took First Place. In 1997 he was desert racing in the same Jeep that he drove to win TTC the previous year. From there, his racing career took off and has included winning the incredible King of the Hammers (KOH) twice. Back in 2001 he opened Campbell Enterprises, which continues to this day. His company specializes in everything off-road, including Trophy Trucks, rockcrawlers, trail rigs, short course, Ultra4, and KOH machines.
A few years ago, Campbell rocked the off-road racing world when he built and raced an independent front suspension (IFS) rig at a time when there were no other IFS rigs racing in the Ultra4/KOH series. His follow-up to that rig is the buggy you see here, which is his newest machine. Campbell built the rig over the course of two months and its first race was in the fall of 2012. Like its predecessor, it is equipped with IFS. Campbell says he likes IFS because it offers him the ability to hold high speed and retain drivability. He notes that race buggies with a solid front axle can be "squirrely" in the same situation. Among other things, Campbell's design goals for this rig included simplicity (package components so they could be easily replaced) and a 50/50 weight balance front to rear. Ultra4/KOH vehicles are unique in that they have to be part rockcrawler and part high-speed desert racer due to the vast array of obstacles and terrain they encounter in the course of an average race.
Campbell estimates that only about 10 percent of the buggies that currently race Ultra4/KOH are IFS-equipped. We think that makes his buggy unique and worth a closer look.

About This Series
This is the third installment of the "Anatomy of a…" series. In this occasional series we'll take a look at the tech (or lack thereof in some cases) that's integrated into four-wheel-drive vehicles that we may not normally feature. Some of these vehicles are packed with tech, others may be surprisingly simple, and some may have unique features that are specific to their type of wheeling.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 27, 2012) - Cambridge House International is pleased to announce online registration commencement for the 2013 Vancouver Resource Investment Conference (VRIC). VRIC is the world's largest investor-focused resource conference, held in the resource exploration capital of the world, Vancouver, Canada.
"About 60% of all mineral exploration done in the world is done by Canadian companies," indicates Joe Martin, Cambridge House International Chairman. "You go anywhere in the world and there's someone on the ground from Canada looking for metals…[and] about two-thirds of those companies are headquartered in Vancouver."
The conference will take place on January 20-21, 2013, at Vancouver Convention Centre West, featuring live interviews with the experts. Media coverage will be broadcasted at the center of the tradeshow floor, flanked by over 500 company booths, 2 speaker halls, 6 workshop rooms, and an expected attendance of over 12,000 international resource investors and resource sector representatives. Tyler Bollhorn, founder of Stockscores will host live seminars from the Disnat Pavilion.
Companies in attendance will represent junior resource exploration, media, and financial services sectors. Pre-Registration is FREE at www.cambridgehouse.com or $20.00 at door on the day of the event.
VRIC 2013 video interviews will be available along with many others including billionaire Frank Giustra, Doug Casey, Ross Beaty, Peter Schiff, and Rick Rule, via the Cambridge House YouTube Channel. Footage will be posted shortly after the event, and subscribers to the channel will receive automatic notification.
Additionally, many experts this year have indicated junior resource stocks have reached oversold levels, the likes of which haven't been seen in more than 30 years when measured against the physical resources themselves. Therefore, this may be an opportune time to identify strong companies, those which will have the firmest footing when the markets begin to reignite.
Your ticket to the resource sector is ready! Please register now: VRIC 2013 Registration Page
By registering your attendance online now, you will save a $20.00 entrance fee charged at the door.
We hope to see you there!

Road trips that start in the early morning are sublime. Filled with the promise of open highway and burgeoning daylight. Punctuated by quiet breakfasts, beachfront diners and old tunes on the radio. The cares of yesterday get lost in this world of scenic routes, unfolded maps and gas station postcards. It's certainly true — sooner or later, wanderlust gets the better of us and we take to the road.A couple of weeks ago, I took a weekend trip with Brett along the central California coast.

Hi Alyssa - The title is a lyric from an old standard called "The Lady is a Tramp." Frank Sinatra's recording of it is probably the most well known. I always thought it was a peculiar thing to say, being a southern California native, but it was a fitting title for my rainy weekend.

I love your e-mag. Beautifully, beautifully done. I see that you are using Issuu...but was wondering what you used to design your pages/pdf's - In-Design? I do a photography/travel blog - Chasing Santa Fe - and want to do a quartly e-zine and maybe shorter ones along the way. Let me know when you have a moment. Thanks again for delighting my day...

Hi Cynthia-
I used Photoshop to create these layouts, but InDesign is the proper tool for the job. I really don't have a good excuse for choosing photoshop over InDesign, other than I didn't really plan on doing a magazine from the get go. I started editing my photos in photoshop, and then it evolved from there. I also like being able to edit my photos within the page layout; using InDesign would require you to edit your image in Photoshop, save and then return to the InDesign file to see the page layout with updated image. Small difference, but somehow those instant visuals make it easier for me. However, the workspace gets pretty chaotic with tons of layers; saving each page of the spread into .pdfs is way more of a pain then it would have been in InDesign. Long story short, I wouldn't attempt to use photoshop for a magazine that was any longer than this one.

What a fantastic mag, I really love your work, the photo's are very inspiring, I wish we had such beautiful buildings and country side to shoot here, though my road trip to Bundaberg here in Queensland Australia at Easter, would be far less interesting, bush, Queenslander style pubs and not much more, I'll be taking photos but I could only dream of making them this inspiring! :) Fantastic work! All The Best Louise

Brynn - what a fantastic trip! I love San Diego but I'm a little biased (it's my home county). The coast highway 101 from about Del Mar to Carlsbad is picture-perfect California. Every time I take a drive out there I feel truly blessed!

Unless I read it incorrectly it appears the police officer involved was a canine handler (does that mean police K9 officer Demo?) and was bitten on the hand and wrist.
The police report contradicts itself... Page 1... type of injury... scratching to hand and wrist.
Page 2... bitten on the hand and wrist. Refused medical attention.
Not necessarily a contradiction. If the text indicates that the officer received a bite, the type of injury could still be described as an "abrasion" or "scratch" as opposed to what we would normally expect to see, i.e. a "puncture". Also, you should consider that many of the various front pages in use around the country have "forced responses" for injury types. So "scratch" may very well have been the best option among the list of ones available.
(And, please. don't anyone smack me for pointing this out, but - if you're going to put this out in public for all the world to see... do a spell check first. )
Yeah, that reflects poorly.

Firefighters kept gaining on the California wildfires Monday with help from lighter winds that made it easier to attack the flames that have killed at least 40 people and destroyed thousands of homes and businesses.
After days of gusts that constantly fanned the fires, better weather offered a chance for crews to get the upper hand more than a week after the blazes started chewing through the state's celebrated wine country.
"The weather has not been in our favor over the past week in general, but we are still marching forward with our progress," said Daniel Berlant, spokesman for California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
Also Monday, a water truck driver died when his vehicle rolled over near one of the fires. No other information was available on the driver or the crash, which happened shortly before daybreak.
The smoky skies started to clear in some places, and thousands of people got the all-clear to return home. About 40,000 evacuees were still waiting for permission to go back to their communities, down from a high of 100,000 on Saturday.
"This is my home. I'm going to come back without question," said Howard Lasker, 56, who returned Sunday with his daughter to their torched house in Santa Rosa. "I have to rebuild. I want to rebuild."
Although the weather was still hot and dry, the calmer winds and the possibility of rain later in the week should help crews tamp down the deadliest, most destructive cluster of blazes in California history.
"Any sort of moisture is welcome at this point," said Scott Rowe, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. "In terms of fire, the weather outlook is looking to be improving."
He predicted a quarter-inch (0.6 centimeters) would fall late Thursday in Sonoma and Napa counties.
Hundreds of people remained unaccounted for, although authorities said many of them are probably safe but have not let anyone know. The number of people under evacuation orders was down to 75,000 from nearly 100,000 the day before.
In hard-hit Sonoma County, Sheriff Rob Giordano said authorities have located 1,560 of the more than 1,700 people once listed as missing. Many of those names were put on the list after people called from out of state to say they could not reach a friend or relative.
Authorities said they will not let people return home until it is safe and utilities are restored. Pacific Gas and Electric Company said it expects to restore power and gas to the area by late Monday.
Many evacuees grew increasingly impatient to go home — or at least find out whether their homes were still standing. Others were reluctant to go back or to look for another place to live.
Juan Hernandez, who escaped with his family from his apartment Oct. 9 before it burned down, still had his car packed and ready to go in case the fires flared up again and threatened his sister's house, where they have been staying in Santa Rosa.
"Every day we keep hearing sirens at night, alarms," Hernandez said. "We're scared. When you see the fire close to your house, you're scared."
At the Sonoma fairgrounds, evacuees watched the San Francisco 49ers play the Redskins on television, received treatment from a chiropractor and got free haircuts.
Michael Estrada, who owns a barber shop in neighboring Marin County but grew up in one of the Santa Rosa neighborhoods hit hard by the blazes, brought his combs, clippers and scissors and displayed his barbering license in case anyone doubted his credentials.
"I'm not saving lives," he said. "I'm just here to make somebody's day feel better, make them feel normal."
Lois Krier, 86, said it was hard to sleep on a cot in the shelter with people snoring and dogs barking through the night.
She and her husband, William Krier, 89, were eager to get home, but after being evacuated for a second time in a week Saturday, they didn't want to risk having to leave again.
"We're cautious," she said. "We want to be safe."
Nearly 11,000 firefighters were still battling 15 fires burning across a 100-mile swath of the state. The blazes have destroyed some 5,700 homes and other structures.
Those who were allowed back into gutted neighborhoods returned to assess the damage and, perhaps, see if anything was salvageable.
Jack Daniels recently completed a yearlong remodel of his Napa house near the Silverado Country Club and watched it go up in flames last week as he, his wife, 7-year-old grandson and two pugs backed out of the driveway.
His neighbors, Charles Rippey, 100, and his wife, Sara, 98, were the oldest victims identified so far in the wildfires.
Daniels, 74, a wine importer and exporter, said he lost everything left behind, including his wife's jewelry and 3,000 bottles of wine in his cellar.
"It's heartbreaking," the 74-year-old said. "This was going to be our last house. I guess we've got one more move. But we're fortunate. We got away. Most things can be replaced. The bank didn't burn down."

Today in History
Tuesday, September 25, 2012
Today is Tuesday, Sept. 25, the 269th day of 2012. There are 97 days left in the year. The Jewish Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, begins at sunset.
Today's Highlight in History:
On Sept. 25, 1789, the first United States Congress adopted 12 amendments to the Constitution and sent them to the states for ratification. (Ten of the amendments became the Bill of Rights.)
On this date:
In 1513, Spanish explorer Vasco Nunez de Balboa crossed the Isthmus of Panama and sighted the Pacific Ocean.
In 1690, one of the earliest American newspapers, Publick Occurrences, published its first -- and last -- edition in Boston.
In 1775, American Revolutionary War hero Ethan Allen was captured by the British as he led an attack on Montreal. (Allen was released by the British in 1778.)
In 1904, a New York City police officer ordered a female automobile passenger on Fifth Avenue to stop smoking a cigarette. (A male companion was arrested and later fined $2 for "abusing" the officer.)
In 1911, ground was broken for Boston's Fenway Park.
In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson collapsed after a speech in Pueblo, Colo., during a national speaking tour in support of the Treaty of Versailles.
In 1932, the Spanish region of Catalonia received a Charter of Autonomy (however, the Charter was revoked by Francisco Franco at the end of the Spanish Civil War).
In 1957, nine black students who'd been forced to withdraw from Central High School in Little Rock, Ark., because of unruly white crowds were escorted to class by members of the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division.
In 1962, Sonny Liston knocked out Floyd Patterson in round one to win the world heavyweight title at Comiskey Park in Chicago. "The Longest Day," 20th Century Fox's epic recreation of the D-Day invasion, based on the book by Cornelius Ryan, had its world premiere in France.
In 1978, 144 people were killed when a Pacific Southwest Airlines Boeing 727 and a private plane collided over San Diego.
In 1981, Sandra Day O'Connor was sworn in as the first female justice on the Supreme Court.
In 1992, the Mars Observer blasted off on a $980 million mission to the Red Planet (the probe disappeared just before entering Martian orbit in August 1993). A judge in Orlando, Fla., ruled in favor of Gregory Kingsley, a 12-year-old seeking to "divorce" his biological parents.
Ten years ago: American schoolchildren escaped a rebel-held Ivory Coast city that was under siege as U.S. special forces and French troops moved in to rescue Westerners caught in the West African nation's bloody uprising. Tropical Storm Isidore drenched the Gulf Coast.
Five years ago: Warren Jeffs, the leader of a polygamous Mormon splinter group, was convicted in St. George, Utah, of being an accomplice to rape for performing a wedding between a 19-year-old man and a 14-year-old girl. (The conviction was later overturned by the Utah Supreme Court; prosecutors ended up dropping the charges, since Jeffs is serving a life sentence in Texas in a separate case.) Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, addressing the United Nations, announced "the nuclear issue of Iran is now closed," and indicated Tehran would disregard Security Council resolutions imposed by what he called "arrogant powers." Japan's lower house of parliament elected Yasuo Fukuda prime minister.
One year ago: Declaring they'd been detained because of their nationality, not their actions, Joshua Fattal and Shane Bauer, two American hikers held for more than two years in an Iranian prison, returned to the United States. Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah decreed that women would, for the first time, have the right to vote and run in local elections due in 2015. Wangari Maathai, 71, the first African woman recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, died in Nairobi.

I started at 6am this morning. Basically it is all done except I need to install the top cap, height marker and I want the padding to "relax" before Icomplete fitting it. I have a completed picture except tools are still scattered about. I left a note for my son to clean up because i had to get to work. Tonight I will post fresh pics of what the whole install looks like.
It all went very smoothly exactly according to the instructions except in retrospect I learned the following:
1) If you are going to pour cenet, move all of your components VERY far away from the pour. it splashes a lot and got on my components. I washed them off but there are still residual traces.
2) I was able to mount the glass backboard "myself:" as long as my wife pushed and stabilized from underneath.
3) When mounting the glass on the frame, keep the bolts lose. The holes in the glass are protected by silicone gaskets that move around and potentially occlude the hole. It is easier to adjust if the glass is slightly lose ( although secure ! ) and tighten completely AFTER the goal is installed.
4) to put the goal up, start with ONE screw in the top slot. secure with washer, lock washer and nut. Go get the next set and then secure the other top slot ( instructions say to install both bolts in goal before lifting to mount. my way is better).
5) I almost put the top cap on the post before i lifted it into place but i was sure there must be a reason that the instructions called for it last when it was obviously going to be so much more difficult. I figured I was going to need to get my hand in there for a step that was not obvious to me. Actually – NO ! Put the top cap on BEFORE you lift the post. It would have been way easier.

On the other hand, perhaps you want your space to look cozier (and you need some storage). Stash baskets, trunks and old suitcases under simple legged coffee tables to ground spaces that are otherwise too open. Solid tabletops usually have a very square corner. If you have little kids or the circulation is tight, allow extra space at the ends so it's easier to get around the corners without hitting your shins. Go for color with an upholstered coffee table, as it will draw people to the surrounding sofas and chairs. Top it with a tray to hold books and other items. Choose your fabric wisely, since people may want to put up their feet (and shoes). Outdoor fabrics can be smart; steer clear of linen and fabrics with high amounts of rayon or viscose. Take a swatch home and test it out with dirt, red wine or whatever you think your coffee table will encounter, to make sure your fabric choice can handle it all.

BMA's Banquet
So Boulder's finest chamois-wearing crowd traded in their lycra and helmets for some finer apparel and linen table cloths for its annual fund raising banquet. It was a RIOT and all for a great cause: Trail advocacy for the fat tire set!
Thanks to Oskar Blues, we all had our fill of FREE Pale Ale and Old Chub (make note to self: Old Chub is like 10% alcohol! Limit to 3...strike that TWO...of those bad boys). The night was filled with great speeches including our Mayor Shaun McGrath who's leaving to go work with Obama campaign (and a MASSIVE supporter of the VBP and biking in general), the VBP committee indicating our massive momentum and fund raising as well as BMA award winning speeches. These are the folks who volunteer to make trails for ALL of us to ride.
I had my CrackBerry firing off shots of random folks doing stupid things while high on Old Chub, but my home girl Sonya got some great photos and also has a nice write up on her blog.
I'd make this a sure thing next year if you ride trails anywhere near Boulder!

My Thought for the Day can be found, here. If you like it, please let us know with an official thumbs up.
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This is a nice recipe to have on hand when you are short of time and have a hungry crew waiting to be fed. I found the recipe in Family Circle magazine and make it once or twice a year. It is not a recipe that will make or break your reputation as a cook, but it is simple and satisfying and children love its creaminess. The casserole can be on the table in about 30 minutes from start to finish. While the dish is moist and creamy, there is not a lot of sauce, so you'll probably want to serve it with a side of rice rather than noodles. I like to keep a handful of recipes like this on hand, specifically for busy days. I hope you'll file this recipe for busy days of your own. Here's how this very simple casserole is made.
Creamy Chicken and Broccoli Casserole...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Family Circle magazine
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 large onion, chopped
4 cups broccoli florets
1 can (14.5 ounces) petite diced tomatoes, drained
1/4 cup reduced-fat scallion and chive cream cheese (such as Philadelphia)
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1) Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to pan and cook for 4 minutes or until browned. Remove chicken from skillet.
2) Reduce heat to medium and add 1 teaspoon oil, onion and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper to skillet and cook for 5 minutes or until softened. Add flour to skillet and cook 1 minute, stirring. Add broccoli, thyme and 1/2 cup water to skillet. Cover and cook for 4 minutes or until broccoli is crisp-tender.
3) Remove cover and add chicken, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, tomatoes and cream cheese to pan. Stir until well blended. Yield: 4 servings.

If your club receives little in the way of member complaints, you may have reason to pat yourself on the back. On the other hand, it may indicate that your customer feedback systems are inadequate.
Consumer research suggests that only 4 percent of dissatisfied customers make a company aware of a problem. Nine out of 10 customers will not complain but will simply stop doing business with the company.
Members and guests may have a number of reasons for choosing not to inform you when their experience falls short of expectations. They may be reluctant to spend time and energy voicing their opinions if there are no clear paths for sharing feedback—if they believe the process will be inconvenient or uncomfortable—and if they doubt their feedback will make a difference.
To avoid blind spots in service delivery, club owners must take steps to ensure that they gather and act on member feedback efficiently and effectively. Here are some suggestions for how to do so:
- Make complaint procedures highly visible and accessible. Suggestion boxes, question-and-answer boards and opendoor policies encourage members to share their thoughts, complaints and concerns spontaneously. When they do so, follow up promptly to acknowledge member concerns and offer solutions. Promote a variety of convenient methods for members to document their suggestions, praise and complaints, including pen and paper, online and face-to-face formats. The ability for members to remain anonymous will encourage broader participation and candor.
- "Own" the complaint. Your team members have invested time in building relationships with members, and they likely uncover frustrations or unmet needs in the course of daily conversation. Coach team members to take responsibility for acting on any complaints they hear. Enhance your members' trust by eliminating the need for team members to pass problems on to corporate or management. Give them leeway to resolve issues without a lot of red tape.
- Read between the lines. Your members' body language imparts a great deal of information about the experience they are having in your club. Recognizing signs of displeasure, even before they have been verbalized, gives team members an opportunity to smooth things over swiftly. Some glitches can be overcome with a proactive smile or apology, but other difficulties, such as long shower lines, parking problems or equipment shortages, may indicate bigger issues on the horizon that could negatively affect retention.
- Collect data. Gathering information on a regular basis, both internally and externally, assists companies in making good strategic decisions. Tracking objective data, including club attendance and program participation, helps companies gauge utilization and overall satisfaction. Subjective evaluations, such as secret shopping reports and member surveys, also can yield a wealth of valuable information and, if administered consistently, provide a great basis for comparison over time. While unstructured data, such as information obtained from a focus group or member advisory committee, may not be reliable for making broad generalizations, it can provide meaningful context for other quantitative data. Regardless of what methods you use to gather data, the most important thing is to understand the results and act on them.
- Tune in to conversations outside the club. Even if members do not share their grievances with you, they are likely to tell friends, family and acquaintances about their experiences in your club. Social media has made it easier for customers to publicly share their opinions. In addition to managing your own digital presence, monitor other channels your customers frequent. Participating on social media networks can help you create positive momentum for your club, conduct market research and develop stronger relationships with your members. You may occasionally encounter criticism, but think of it as a chance to demonstrate how responsive your company is to its members. Resolving a member complaint positively and publicly is a powerful display of your commitment to customer satisfaction.

Anouther Twitter Iphone Tool
Read more...
Really iPhones are ideal for using twitter. iPhone can be used as a break from a computer or in locations far from the wifi. Ultimately someone can walk down the beach and promote their online business from their smart phone.
TwitterFon is one such iPhone twitter application. Twitterfon also has a paid service with more features for the professional twitter user.
I wonder if Twitterfon has automation too? I think that would be cool setting up automated twitter accounts right from the iPhone.

Comments on CSS Sprites2 - It's JavaScript Time
by Dave Shea
86 Reader CommentsBack to the Article
I know it seems like a terrible idea at first glance, and there are obvious caveats (speed - though John Resig is testing a new, fast selector engine, JS support, complexity, verbosity etc) but then again.. Variables! Conditionals! Effects!
It does open plenty of doors that spec creators/browser developers aren't going to be opening any time soon which web designers/devs have been kvetching about for a while - food for thought anyway :)
Anyway, it looks like jQuery (or your framework of choice) techniques are going to be a standard part of the modern web designers arsenal, so it's nice to see them applied to some of the 'old faithful' CSS techniques :)
I have it at http://d7nh.com/. The navigation uses not only fadeIn and fadeOut, but also jQuery animation
It's nice to have jQuery all around :)
I love the idea of sprites. I really think that using flash to animate things is ineffective in it's intent, and I don't think it's js counter part is much better. I think the reason why flash is not cool is because of the animation. I think others would agree as well.
In the section "Initializing in jQuery" you use the code
$(".nav").children("li").each(function() {
This could be done more efficiently (and more straight forward if you ask me) with the following:
$(".nav li a").css({backgroundImage:"none"});
I may be missing something but the anonymous function to get the second array of children a tags seems a bit much…
Otherwise, awesome article! Thanks, Dave!
I've been using jQuery on every project for about six months now. I'm always surprised by how quickly it renders and how well in runs in IE6. It can even handle some very complex page elements that are typically reserved for Flash. Here's an example of I put together of IGN's Flash slideshow, built with jQuery, as an example of its durability. "IGN Flash Slideshow in jQuery":http://www.setsolid.net/ign
I am so glad jQuery is becoming more and more used as a flash alternative that I may shed a tear of joy. I've been using it for just a few weeks now, but I can already see its power and ease of use in many situations where I would otherwise struggle with complex javascript at the point of giving up. Anyway, thanks for the nice article Mr. Dave.
Is this method actually *needed* (and I am not meaning _critical_ for UX)? And what is this technique's *impact on performance* (load time, especially if inexperienced users don't already use jQuery in their projects)?
No need to answer I guess.
When hovering over the items in the third example I see the items shortly stick out at the bottom in a flash which looks a bit weird. Browser: FF3 Mac OS X.
Small unrelated side note: The submit button for the comment form on ALA cannot be clicked in FF3 and in safari you can ONLY click the 1px white inner border. You may want to fix that.
Is overriding the paragraph opacity necessary? The lack of sub-pixel text rendering is far from pretty. It renders rather jaggy here in both Firefox and Safari. Unacceptably bad.
I saved a copy of the article page and added "p { opacity: 1;}" to the stylesheet to override the 0.9999 to see this bug for myself. I tested in Firefox 3.0 and Safari 3.1.2 on Mac OS 10.5.4 and couldn't reproduce this.
I also noticed the referenced mezzoblue article is from 2006. Rather old in the non-IE world. If anyone can reproduce this and thinks any flickering is worse than bad font rendering, please comment.
If this bug does still exist in commonly used browsers, perhaps a bit of runtime JS to workaround those instances is in order rather than a blanket feature downgrade.
P.S. My browsers are also affected by the submit button bug mentioned by Marco. I managed to activate it by tabbing and pressing enter.
Javascript as a programming language has been treated like no other. The overall lack of understanding has quickly resulted in enforcing the "cut and paste"? style of programming where you don't necessarily want to know how and why something works, just as long as it does. It has also resulted in the assumption that one could, for example, use the coding styles learned from CSS or PHP etc. in Javascript. Usually we'd bother to learn a language (and learn it deep, like Douglas Crockford has been saying for years) before using it, but that hasn't been the case here and it has set the language back quite a lot.
That said, there's nothing wrong with using jQuery as a gateway into the language. It does, however, put enormous pressure on the gatekeepers who make the tutorials and who dish out "best practices". Again, I'm not criticizing _this_ article, at all, but it should be noted that a generation of mindless Javascript "programmers" will lead to problems, and in my opinion fixing those problems will make the transition from tables to CSS seem like a walk in the park.
(oh, and your submit button is broken in Safari - there's a clickable area with a height of only 1px )
Concerning the eas-up that Nic Johnson suggested I admit, Dave Shea, that he optimized "too soon". However I think also your second snippet can be done more efficient and especially more maintainable. I would transform it into:
var current = $(".nav").attr("class").replace(/.*current-([^ ]+).*/, "$1");
$(".nav li:not(."+ current +") a").css({backgroundImage:"none"});
Most notably due to the regular expression I use this will work even if your ul.nav has additional classNames. Plus this is a great example for the power of jQuery's CSS-selectors!
Anyways I really do like your unobstrusive way of creating menus with smooth effects.
Oh, I see that textile messed up thes javascript I just posted. Each dot in the regular [removed]inside the two slashes) is followed by an asterisk * (which textile turned into *bold* text). The variable called current is then inserted into the jQuery selector using two plus-signs + on each side (which textile turned into +underlined+ text).
bq. When hovering over the items in the third example I see the items shortly stick out at the bottom in a flash which looks a bit weird. Browser: FF3 Mac OS X.
Yes, when all three examples are viewed together, as they are at the top of the page, there is a brief extra hover at the bottom, just as you describe. But this only occurs at the top, where all three examples are viewed together. The actual examples work fine individually—and that's how they'd be used.
bq. Small unrelated side note: The submit button for the comment form on ALA cannot be clicked in FF3 and in safari you can ONLY click the 1px white inner border. You may want to fix that.
Thanks for calling that to our attention. *It happens only on this article*, and it appears to be caused by an unforeseen interaction between our code and Dave's. We're looking into it now.
Thanks for a great article Dave. I'm a long time fan.
Just thought I'd point out a small bug. Mouse-down on an item changes it to the active state. If you then drag outside the item, it stays active. In other words, a click-and-drag on an item makes it stay in the active state.
I made a quick fix that seems to work. I just duplicated the line from the mouseup handler to the first line of the mouseout handler. So the mouseout handler looks like this:
mouseout(function() {
$("div.nav-" + myClass + "-click").attr("class", "nav-" + myClass);
$("div.nav-" + myClass).fadeOut(200, function() {
Small suggestion for improvement: If you click a button and release outside of the navigation, the button will keep it's pressed state. I now it's a little nitpick but still: it feels weird.
Apart from that I really enjoyed the article! Well written, easy to understand and a beautifully designed example. That's what I love ALA for.
My example above looks broken. Anyway, all I did was to add this line to the beginning of the mouseout handler.
$("div.nav-" + myClass + "-click").attr("class", "nav-" + myClass);
(How should code blocks be posted? All white-space is mangled and it interferes with Textile.)
@Reimar Servas: Hivemind! =D
Is the opacity change on P tags really necessary? In Firefox 3 with Cleartype enabled the text is beginning to strain my eyes.
I also notice that the background images sometimes shift 'out of bounds' as they begin to animate.
My question would be: what does this add? A visually nice gimmick, but with no added value. Pure CSS or the heavier, kinda exclusive JQuery version? Feels weired to me adding KB and markup to a page without improving, say usability.
Call me a silly billy, but wouldn't this be achievable with no jQuery using animated GIFs as background images to the link? (Dave knows my fondness for the animated GIF.)
Call me a silly billy, but wouldn't this be achievable with no jQuery using animated GIFs as background images to the link? (Dave knows my fondness for the animated GIF.)
Thanks fo a very detailed practical quality article!
I haven't looked at it in detail yet, but I know from experience (implementing a fade in/out on text links for the nav on my site) that making the fades behave nicely can be a little bit of a headache (they tend to keep on fading in/out long after your mouse is gone if you pass over a few times in a row…).
I'm surprised some people would complain about the fact that it "doesn't add anything" in terms of usability and therefor dismiss the whole thing as pointless. This technic doesn't "remove" anything either… and it sure looks nice… If you think it's pointless, you must not listen to your clients very carefully… ;)
Thanks Dave, I'll make sure to go over the details this weekend and see how you've implemented it :)
Being a long term jQuery user I'd go all the way and make the generateSprites function a jQuery plugin. Would look like the following:
$('ul.nav').sprites('current-', true, 150, 'slide');
I just remembered all the confusion and hatred that CSS Animations have caused a couple of months ago when they were proposed by Apple.
And here - a whole A List Apart article at length explaining how to implement in a lot of non-semantic Javascript code something, that is a purely design decision and could be done with the above-mentioned technologies in two lines. *Sigh*!
The articles states, "The most compact version of jQuery weighs in at 15k."
But this is only for the minified, g-zipped version which may not be a viable choice for many. Plus the time to decompress must be taken into account.
jQuery's full size is 97kb.
And in practice, there is little difference between the full version; the minified and g-zipped version; and the packed version. (The last choice created with Dean Edwards Packer)
In all but the full version there is overhead related to decompression.
The creator of jQuery, John Ressig, thoroughly discusses the the trade-offs here:
Also, a recent study by Yahoo surprisingly found that 40-60% of Yahoo!'s users visit with an empty cache.
Ressig addresses this issue as well:
"...according to Yahoo's research on caching, approximately 50% of users will never have the opportunity to have the page contents be cached. Thus, making sure that your page loads quickly both on initial load, and subsequent loads, should be of the utmost importance."
The article understandably puts the best face possible on the download costs but be aware.
In case anyone cares, I re-wrote the JS as a Lowpro behavior class. It requires Prototype, Lowpro and the Scriptaculous Effects file be included first. It's here if you want it:
You activate it like this:
'.nav': NavSprites('nav', 'current-', 150, 'slide')
See it in action here:
Main advantage is that it's a single event listener using event delegation. I also have a Jquery/Lowpro version but that is a pretty niche group.
Not to go over this again, but your initial jQuery could be redone in a much cleaner way—sans regex. The current section designation should be attached to the appropriate element as the "current" class, not as an odd hyphenated combination in the parent class. Also, if the page is built dynamically the list will be made in a loop and the class assignment can happen much easier there.
Assuming the "current" class is attached to the list elements, not the parent list:
$('.nav').children('li').each(function() {
if (!$(this).hasClass('current')) {
Sorry for the non-breaking muddles in my post above. Proper code:
$('.nav').children('li').each(function() {
if (!$(this).hasClass('current')) {
Also, the reason the submit button can't be clicked is because the syndication paragraph is jumping over top of it.
... you've got an honest face.
Does sound like a browser bug, I agree. Will test it in Opera and add it to the bug tracker (after looking at some godforesaken ancient document that specifies animated GIFs to find out if it is actually a bug.)
in example 1, you mention that you have included :focus - making it nice for keyboard users. subsequently, you quickly take it away again via jquery from example 2 onwards.
To those that argue this unnecessary could easily argue that of a number of things when it comes to design. Is a gradient necessary? Are rounded corners necessary? Why not just give it a background colour and be done with it, Dave?! Think of the bandwidth of having to download all those extra images! I throw my arms up in disgust at the wasted pixels…
Or we could just marvel at how pretty it is.
As Snook pointed out, not everything in a web-site is purely created for improved usability. This example adds some nice aesthetic functionality that is only meant to please the viewer. That has the same goal as putting in gradiants and illustrations.
An impressed viewer is more likely to accomplish your site goals, because they enjoy using it, and will thus continue to the end.
Plus, this degrades nicely, so there's not much loss, the only downside could be the filesize, and in that case, I'd say whether or not to use this would depend on your target. Aim your web-site at consumers with modern technology, and this makes it pretty.
Dave, really great article. One minor nit - when I clicked your link "Google is now hosting jQuery" [ http://code.google.com/p/jqueryjs/ ], I expected it to go to http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlibs/documentation/index.html#jquery which contains the CDN url for jQuery. This would be the recommended one if people are hoping users would have a cached copy as another site may have already referenced it. It's correct in your example code, but not obvious from the link you've given (which is to the google code project page).
Love the article…
Question though. I'm working on a project that I would like to use this functionality on. My original design has a main nav menu similar to the one in the example, with 4 links. These have a submenu of links that appear on mouseover of the main nav links. I've been able to successfully add the functionality in this article, but when you move the cursor into the submenu links, you obviously lose the hover state on the main menu, thus creating some minor confusion on which set of submenu links you are viewing.
Is it possible to call the hover effect into focus using a mouseover call from somewhere else on the page? I'm new to jQuery and can't quite figure out how to accomplish this. Thanks for any help and I hope I explained things thoroughly.
Nevermind…I think I got it figured out. I basically copied the attachNavEvents function and assigned different ids, and then referenced the ids of the main nav section in the new functions. Fun stuff.
Just so you know, the official place to point your jquery src at on google should be done as described here: http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlibs/documentation/index.html#jquery
Hi guys,
How does this method affect the optimization of the page on the search engine (Google in particular)?
I know that if you disable the css, you will still see all the links on the menu, however on the css the link itself has a text-indent:-9000px;
In Google Quality Guidelines, it states to avoid hidden text or hidden links.
Your site may be removed from the Google index, and will not appear in search results pages.
Any feedback appreciated ...
Cheers, :)
This is cute technique and an interesting article, but does nobody write without jquery [et al] anymore? I'd be far more interested in seeing actual code to do this, not meta-code.
I've never been a big van of javascript "frameworks" in general, since they seem an extra layer of abstraction on an already simple scripting language.
For those unwilling to snuffle through script, I have something similar that can be applied through a class-name in my classBehaviours collection: http://www.classbehaviours.com/details.php?id=cosmetic-mouse-interaction
I didn't take the "sprite" approach though, my "animated class-name" example could be adapted for that.
@ *Joy Budiman*: Here is a link you should find helpful. It was posted on Google's Webmaster Help forum and linked too from Google's Webmaster Blog a few days ago. "Google's Clarification on Hidden Text":http://groups.google.com/group/Google_Webmaster_Help-Indexing/msg/d6aa4da7a87e5230
I was trying to do something similar recently but which added an additional hurdle: using transparent PNGs. I finally figured out a way to get them to display properly as background images in IE6, only to find out that you can't change their background position, rendering the whole concept of CSS sprites useless.
Any ideas on how to get around this? Could the same method work with individual images set as background images for each list item?
I have a hard time figuring out the benefits of the CSS technique used to define the current element. Using a current class on the li would greatly simplify the JS and the CSS a bit too.
Is there a particular reason for this structure or is it an IE 5 inheritance ?
CSS Sprites is a nice yet extremely hard to manage menu effect. But this is not CSS Sprites2. I've played with this method before, and it has little relation to CSS Sprites. Seems a little audacious to call it that.
That said, jQuery rocks, and I'm always glad to see it get some love! :)
Great technique, useful especially when you need jQuery for other tasks too.
I modified the script a little to suit my needs adding focus() and blur() events to make it more usable for keyboard navigation. That was the only thing I was missing in the example
Took a look at your article and decided to go ahead and make it happen. With some tweaking of the 'sprite' I managed to get the same image to function as both the unfocussed and focussed tab, and the various images that sit on top of it. You can see it here:
Thanks for the inspiration!
Perhaps somewhat off topic, but why is it that so many love to quote Jeremy Keith and unobtrusive scripting, while at the same time missing the boat by ignoring the principles of graceful degradation or "Hijax"?
From an accessibilty perspective, what's the difference between refering to a plain "#" or using inline javascript in navigations? While in the past, it might have been a bit of a struggle to hijax URLs, but the "preventDefault" method in jQuery (and MooTools ...) has made it so easy. Can't we just use it?
I personally don't find the one that changes colors particularly useful, and I find the animations annoying. If anything, this slows me down, not a good thing for the web.
For this to be Section 508 accessible, there needs to be a way to turn the animations off.
This is a bit of an aside, but what happens when images are turned off. As far as I can tell the whole menu disappears. Are we assuming with the css sprites that users who disable images will also disable css.
You mentioned in your original article that there was no known way around this. Has anything changed? And do you see this as an issue?
Great article, Dave. I might even read it again just to pound it into memory. Although I noticed one slight bug: your :focus lacks the removal of a border. If you click (and hold) on an element in Firefox 3.0.1 (not sure of others) you see a read border around the element, and when released—as the focus still holds—a blue border is shown. Obviously a bit tacky for the perfectionists in the group.
Great article either way, perhaps soon these sorts of tricks can just remove the useless flash objects from the web, and only keep the truly unique ones.
Thanks for the tutorial, great effect… however, it appears broken in IE6. Has anybody gotten this to work in that browser?
very good article for beginners and experienced worth to read and recommend
Interesting technique! I have been toying with it for a while, and am now using it in the website I'm currently working on. However, I didn't want to rely upon a large JavaScript framework, so I actually wrote my own custom animation code. It condenses to not much more than 3K. (Just over 4K uncondensed.) I've went some way into abstracting it and adding some more advanced functionality, and it doesn't look like it will go over 8K uncondensed; it's currently at about 4.5K. If I can make it easier to drop into place—the trade-off for conciseness is complexity, in this case—would anyone be interested?
Not sure if it's your script or CSS, Dave, or if it's just the ALA's lack of support, but keyboard support should be added. I can't of a reason why it would be left out.
@Bruce Lawson, re: animated GIFs. I tried that ("see experiment here":http://green-beast.com/experiments/css_flashy_links.php) and it works nicely (don't use a looped animation solves the looping problem), but only in Firefox. It seems to behave differently in all browsers, thus Dave's solution is better (albeit lacking in accessibility).
I am using this technique with transparent png's as background images. It works fine in FF, Safari and Opera, but not in IE7.
On the hover state, and just for a moment, a black background fills the area that should be transparent, and then suddenly it gets transparent as it should. It looks as if the browser was too slow rendering the transparency.
Any idea on how to fix that?
I've just done a writeup on how to turn this technique into a plugin. I've also added a lot more animation flexibility. The writeup is here:
This is really an interesting technique. And probably there are also some other fields except from the navigation where you can use the sliding background. You only have to be creative!
I think this article is quite lacking. We "all" know about CSS sprites by now and this cut and paste jQuery fluff just isn't enough to be a whole article? I think you should have made this whole article a "Part I" and then expanded on the concept adding sub navigation, sub-sub.. navigation.
You should and also have made some real-world examples where this actually would improve anything that we have not yet seen that much of - this "we" see every day and it just isn't worthy of an ALA-article? ...
Good instructions for newbies though.
Terribly sorry to be posting on the CSS Sprites2 thread, but the comments link on the original Sprites page seems to be broken. I'm working on a vertical menu application for the original Sprites, but I'm having some problems translating the code—specifically I'm having trouble assigning a larger height to a taller link. The link in question is the "Get Tapped In" link on the left side here: http://www.woodntap.com/new/
This is the CSS: http://www.woodntap.com/new/css/wnt_home.css
I'm sure I'm just overlooking something fairly obvious—any ideas?
@Brian Lee
The link elements are only as high as the text which they contain. You need to give the anchor a bit more height:
bq. #tapin a
height: 75px;
Well that didn't exactly render how it showed in the preview.
How is one suppose to quote code with this Textile thing anyway? (Markdown support and an accurate preview would be nice).
Of course—just as obvious as I expected! Thanks for the help, Jason.
I rewrote CSS Sprites2 in Prototype and script.aculo.us. My version of CSS Sprites2 is almost exactly the same as the Dave's: it requires the same HTML, the same styling and includes a similar pre-built function used to invoke it. However, the Prototype version also includes keyboard support: there's a matching focus, blur, keydown and keyup event handler for each mouse event handler.
You can get it here: http://jeffreybarke.net/2008/11/css-sprites2/
I noticed that if you mousedown and then dragout out of the button area. it stays in the hover state.
This script does not work for the effects advertised in this site. It will work for just a basic background swithout.
If you are just looking for a basic rollover, it will work.
However, there are much simpler scripts out there for his .
The sprites2.js DOES NOT WORK.
Tested in FF3, IE6 and 7 (who cares about Safari)
Glad i could save someone a few minutes!! :(
External scripts are usually used by advertisers. Personally, I have them disabled. and so do other people. For example the confused people in previous comments that claim the example script doesn't work. caching isn't everything, and it's not worth the security risk you put your users in. Google APIs or not, you can't trust them. or at least your users wont.
The examples embedded in the article itself don't seem to be working for me in IE6. I'm on a mac and using VMware Fusion to test in IE6—perhaps that's the problem? Works in FF and IE7 in Fusion, but in IE6/Fusion I have to hover over a button for about 7 seconds and then it finally just switches to the rollover state. I don't have a resource, at the moment, to test in IE6 without Fusion. Any clues anyone?
I have been a hold out - using unobtrusive javascript rollovers instead of sprites. I finally tried it out and must say that sprites were easy to implement, made the development process faster since I had fewer images to slice and I really liked using the fade in for the menu tabs on my website.
One glitch I've seen that is driving me crazy, and it only happens for my Mac in my Firefox, not in my Safari and not for my PC friend in Internet Explorer…
When I hover over a button, then hold the cursor there for a second or two, and move it WITHIN the <a> the sprite refreshes. I don't even move it outside of the button, any movement within the button after a delay refreshes the image and causes a new fade in. Its similar to a flicker or a flash, and completely ruins the continuity of the menu.
Any ideas what this is and how to solve this?
I found a machine with IE6, to test on, and it works! so, i guess it's just an issue with testing in IE6 on my mac, using a virtual machine / VMware Fusion. Thanks!
Great article, I may say. I've tried to attach this effect on my Wordpress blog these two days but with no success. No matter how much I trie I can't get it to work with the built-in list command (wp_list_pages) in Wordpress. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make this work with Wordpress?
Finally after a few months waiting on my queue, I completed the mootools port:
same compatibility level as the version in this article, so if you are into mootools you can get the same experience in "the other side of the fence".
Hi. I don't like absolutely positioned navigation elements. They're useless for practical purposes.
I am trying to get this example working with the following HTML:
<ul id="nav">
<li><a >Articles</a></li>
<li><a >News</a></li>
<li><a >Contact</a></li>
My CSS is like this:
/* Nav */ ul#nav { padding: 0; display: block; float: right; margin: 5% 20% 0 0} ul#nav li { background: transparent; margin:0; padding:0; height: 20px; list-style:none; width: 130px; display: block; border: 0 } ul#nav li a { background: url(/av/nav.png) no-repeat; width: 130px; display: block; height: 16px; text-align: left; text-indent: -10000%; margin:0; overflow: hidden } a#arti { background-position: 0 0; } a#arti:hover, a#arti:active { background-position: -129px 0px;} li.curr a#arti, li.curr a#arti:hover { background-position: -258px 0px; }
..and so on. Basically the code is NOT working. What do I need to do to make sure non-absolute items work too?
Whats with the textile drivel here? A website about web design cannot use a more modern system for commenting that allows us to post some simple code?
For so much effort as to include a JS file and whatnot, this simply does not work.
(1) In Firefox in Mac (which is quite a prevalent environment now) it flickers forever.
(2) Doesn't work consistently in IE7. Sometimes the animation doesn't happen at all, and other times happens jerkily.
(3) This whole shebang doesn't work with a vertical sprite at all. Silly shite.
Sorry. I appreciate the effort on the part of the writer, but even with loads of tweaking, this drivel simply does not work with vertical sprites because of the DIV that is appended to the css links. That may work for horizontal sprites, but in a vertical menu it is all over the place.
This menu is beautiful and is a wonderful tutorial for those new to jquery and manipulating css. Thanks very much for the post, I have benefitted from this tremendously!
I love the way you have this packaged up. How difficult would it be to introduce parameters for the image positions as opposed to hard coding?
Try as I might, I can't get this to work. I'm seeing nothing on rollover (in FF3 Mac) and then, on rollout, it switches to the rollover state for a few milliseconds and then fades out. In Safari, when I rollover, it flickers and tries to run the fade in/fade out over each pixel I move the mouse. When I look in Firebug in FF3, rollout causes a slew of classes to be created and then they slowly remove themselves. In Safari, moving the mouse in rollover causes the same thing. Active state works fine, though.
I thought it might be an issue with the newer version of jQuery, but I switched out 1.3.2 for 1.2.6 and still had the same issues.
I have pretty much no experience with JS, so I'm at a loss to troubleshoot it. Any ideas?
I'm also having issues with my buttons flickering in FF3 for the Mac and one of my associates sees it in FF3 for Windows. However, when I check the page showing the final example in your article in the same browsers the rollovers work beautifully. I'm using a similar structure in my menu and the same js file, so the only thing I can think that would be different is the CSS. I'd love to figure out a fix for this because it's a great effect.
Thank you for the great article.
By removing onmousedown- and onmouseup-events though I'll reduce the size of the js and css in half, and still have awesome results.
Hi There,
Thanks for a great insight into jquery sprites!!
I have tried to apply this tut to a menu I am working on and it seems to work fine apart from the selected state.
I can only get a selected state to work for the second li item??
I change the <ul class="nav current- "> to my required state and nothing happens.
My menu list is - Home, Team, Contact Us and Links. I have changed the references in the css and script.js (from example 5) to match and still n luck?
Do you have any suggestions??
I've been playing with this using transparent PNGs for the menu, and it is not working correctly….I think.
When the page loads, I see is the menu starting position rendered correctly. However, the rollover events are not correct, because both the normal state and the hover state are being shown.
I believe this is because the menu image is applied in two places, but only one is being turned off on events. The menu image is applied to ".nav" and to ".nav .home a:hover" but the ".nav" class background is not adjusted. So it continues to show through the :hover state due to the transparent nature of the PNG.
Is there a solution for this? Help is very much appreciated.
I just want to one pixel image repeat.however,the result is't enough to answer my question,all about css sprites links,I need you help? thank you!
Hy there.
I tooked the time to read all the comments and saw that nobody asked about my problem.
I managed to addapt the menu to my website and get rid of absolute position. But i'm having trouble, since my menu is generated, every li has multiple clases. How can i make the js code to work ..is there a posibility to ajust in such a matter that will get only the first class of the li?
Thank you for your help.

I was also sent these two lovely Instant Smooth Highlighters from Clarins.
These two limited edition highlighters are a mixture of the Instant Smooth Skin Perfector (I product I adore) and a highlighter.
Natural is a sheer dewy peach with shimmer and Bronze is a golden caramel.
I really like these and I'm not really one for messing about with highlighters – why? because I love instant touch, and these two highlighters have almost the same texture – covers pores and sets quickly on the skin.
Natural is nice for pale ladies but I used this with no problems at all. Also nice on the lips.
Bronze seems quite warm in the pan but it blended away into a subtle bronzer.
On my cheek – bronze as a blush and natural around the tip of the cheek bone:
The look is really suble – love it! Will be using this for the dewy effect. Anything to powdery is a no-no for my dry skin at the moment anyway!:
Yay or Nay?

Walnut/Ordinary Programming/Hello World
From Erights
Hello World
We will show Hello World as both an E program and a rune script. Rune first: just type
? println("Hello World")
when you hit the Enter key, you will get
Hello World ?
To run an E program, put "println("Hello World")" into a text file. Make sure the file extension is ".e" (to run Swing-based apps, use extension ".e-awt", and to use SWT-based apps, use ".e-swt"). Type
java -jar e.jar --rune textfilename.e
into a command shell (a DOS window under Windows, or a Cygwin or Unix shell, such as bash). The greeting will be printed to your display.
Now that you have started rune and run Hello World, it would be a good time to look at your trace log folder for the first time to make sure you know where to look. If you are on Windows 95, the trace log will default to <Windows directory>\temp\etrace. The etrace folder location can always be found in the eprops.txt file in the E installation directory (under Unix, you will have created eprops.txt yourself from eprops-template.txt). You should, after launching rune, find one file in the trace folder, which is the trace log created for the rune session. It will probably be empty, unless you have gone wild experimenting with Hello World.

The logo will be used on a new Word Press powered web-site as well as on print collateral for the business. Please use a max of 3 colors so that the logo can be easily printed.
