Learn about the McAfee commitment to corporate responsibility.
Integrity and trust form the foundation of good corporate citizenship and frame McAfee's relationships with customers, shareholders, employees, suppliers, and local communities. Through our adherence to ethical business practices, and through timely, accurate, and consistent financial reporting, we continually enhance shareholder value and maintain industry leadership in all aspects of corporate governance.
We are proud of the significant steps that McAfee has taken to create a culture of ethics and leadership in corporate governance. Beginning in 2001, we made systematic changes to our governance and business practices. We created Global Audit Services, an experienced team of auditors whose primary mission is to monitor internal controls throughout all business units and geographies. These essential checks and balances ensure that internal financial transactions are processed correctly, accurately, and on a timely basis. We provide transparent, timely, consistent, and credible information that complies with legal and regulatory requirements to the investing public.
A cornerstone of our commitment to corporate citizenship is the McAfee Ethics First program. This comprehensive plan provides employees at all levels with the tools and resources they need to make ethical decisions. It covers employee hiring and training, company communications, and regular audits to ensure that we are continually evaluating the effectiveness of our corporate policies.
McAfee's anti-corruption and anti-bribery policies comply with federal laws and include a required compliance training course for all McAfee employees, as well as designated channel partners and distributors.
McAfee Ethics First enhances communication and promotes safety, security, and ethical behavior across our entire business. It consists of:
Our success is dependent on these enduring values, and no achievement is ever worth the expense of compromising ethical behavior. These values are also expressed in the McAfee Standards of Conduct.
As a key component of McAfee Ethics First, we offer an anonymous hotline for addressing suspected violations. EthicsPoint, a third-party vendor, hosts an online tool that allows employees, customers, distributors, resellers, and suppliers to share information in support of the McAfee Ethics First program.
The McAfee Standards of Conduct emphasize the importance of our business relationships and outline basic principles for expected behavior, including:
View the complete McAfee Standards of Conduct.
As a matter of policy, McAfee and all its subsidiaries, as well as all directors, officers, employees, and contractors, must comply with the following anti-bribery initiatives:
FCPA Training
All McAfee employees, as well as designated channel partners and distributors, are required to take McAfee's online FCPA compliance training course on a periodic basis. Violations of the policy may result in discipline, up to and including termination of employment or the existing business relationship with McAfee. FCPA policy is administered by the McAfee legal department; suspected violations can be submitted through the Ethics First reporting system.
Exports and re-exports of McAfee products are subject to U.S. export controls and sanctions administered by the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) under the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR).
This page provides export control information on McAfee software and hardware products. McAfee products provide encryption features that are subject to the EAR and other U.S. laws. These features have been approved for export from the United States, subject to certain requirements and limitations. You may find the information on this page useful for determining exportability to particular countries or parties, and for completing export or shipping documentation, recordkeeping, or post-shipment reporting.
Although we provide the information on this page, you remain responsible for exporting or re-exporting McAfee software in accordance with U.S. law. We encourage you to seek appropriate legal advice and/or consult the EAR and the BIS Information Technology Controls Division before exporting, re-exporting, or distributing McAfee software and hardware. The information provided here is subject to change without notice.
The following information on definitions is based on U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR). For more information on the EAR, visit the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) website or contact its offices directly at one of the telephone numbers listed below:
Re-export of McAfee items
Non-U.S. and U.S. companies re-exporting McAfee products or technology must comply with both their local export rules and with U.S. re-export regulations. Guidance regarding re-exports and other offshore transactions involving items of U.S. origin can be found at http://www.bis.doc.gov/Licensing/ReExportGuidance.htm.
McAfee products may not be exported or re-exported, either directly or indirectly, to any country embargoed by the United States, or to any country considered by the United States as a supporter of international terrorism, without proper authorization from the U.S. government. Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria are embargoed destinations.
McAfee products may not be sold, exported, or re-exported to any person or entity designated as prohibited or restricted by an agency of the U.S. government. Exports to companies, organizations, or persons listed on the Specially Designated Nationals List, the Debarred List, the Entity List, and other governmental lists are prohibited. Please visit the BIS website and review the prohibited U.S. government lists.
McAfee products may not be used directly or indirectly in the design, development, fabrication, or use of nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons or missile technology without U.S. government authorization.
The BIS uses the Commodity Classification Automated Tracking System (CCATS) to assign code numbers to products it has classified against the Commerce Control List (CCL). The CCL contains items subject to BIS export license requirements. McAfee lists CCATS numbers on our product matrix.
A deemed export is any release of technology or source code, subject to the EAR, to a foreign national within the United States. Such a release is deemed to be an export to the home country or countries of the foreign national. This deemed export rule does not apply to persons lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States or to persons who are protected individuals under the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1324b(a)(3). Additional information on deemed exports can be found on the BIS website.
Technology or software is released for export through:
Delivery of McAfee cryptographic products does not imply third-party authority to import, distribute, or use restricted and non-restricted encryption.
Importers, distributors, customers, and users are responsible for compliance with U.S. and local country export laws and regulations. McAfee strongly recommends that importers, distributors, and users investigate such regulations before deploying encryption products. McAfee encourages customers to contact their local freight forwarder, consultant, or attorney with knowledge of international export requirements.
An Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) is assigned to a product by the BIS. An ECCN is an alphanumeric classification used in the EAR under the Commerce Control List (CCL) to identify items for export control purposes.
ENC/Restricted products may be exported or re-exported to most civilian and commercial end users located in all territories, except embargoed destinations and countries designated as supporting terrorist activities. Countries listed in Part 746 of the EAR as embargoed destinations requiring a license are Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria.
Government entities not located in the following countries require a U.S. export license in order to obtain restricted non-retail strong encryption items: Austria, Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, and United States.
ENC/Unrestricted products are eligible for export to any end user, including government, in all countries except the following embargoed countries: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria.
Any person born outside the jurisdiction of the United States, subject to a foreign government, and not naturalized under U.S. law is considered a foreign national. This includes foreign national contractors and vendors. For the purposes of the EAR, a foreign national subject to the U.S. deemed export rule is not a citizen of the United States and not a legal permanent resident (i.e., not a permanent resident alien or green card holder).
A U.S. export license may be needed before disclosing certain kinds of software or technology to a foreign national if:
Foreign central, regional, or local government department, agency, or other entity performing governmental functions.
An authorization described in part 740 of the EAR that allows the export or re-export, under stated conditions, of products subject to the EAR that otherwise would require a license. Unless otherwise indicated, these License Exceptions are not applicable to exports under the licensing jurisdiction of agencies other than the Commerce Department.
Mass Market products are eligible for export with No License Required (NLR) to any end user (including government) in all countries except embargoed countries and those that are designated by the United States as supporters of international terrorism: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria. Mass Market products are eligible for de minimus treatment.

Yeeeah, I really need to get around to playing these games.
Oldschool theater projectionist explaining an 'alarm' system that was common back in the day to warn projectionists that they were about to need a reel change. According to him, systems like this are the reason there are often long, sustained vertical scratches on all those old film prints.
I just thought it was kinda neat.
Yeeeah, I really need to get around to playing these games.
If it were a game, they'd advertise it that way. This - like most of the things parading around as games lately - is not a game. It is a movie with a limited amount of interactive busywork you have to do to unlock the next movie clip. This is "Interactive Entertainment", which sounds like one of those alternative phrases for something, like how "Graphic Novel" is a fancy way of saying "Comic Book", but IE is something else entirely. Modern games are more like interactive movies than games, and they spend a lot of effort removing unwanted things like challenge, complex interaction and AI so they can focus on scripted sequences and graphics.
That Supernatural/Eye of the Tiger clip cheers me up all the time. It's awesome

Last edited by MadBadCoyote (2012-02-22 02:32:39)
Why would you skip the first one? It's the best. They pretty much neutered the RPG elements in the second and it became a story heavy shooter more then an RPG.

How did I miss that one of the Conchords wrote the songs for The Muppets?!
don't get me wrong.. i love every single tidbit of mass effect's story, but i just really didn't care for the gameplay of the first one.
I felt that most of the game took a looooong time to get somewhere. Riding in the slow ass Mako, and the slow ass elevators...
also the combat felt a little wonky.
When the 2nd one came out, I felt like it didn't bullshit around 1/2 the time. And that if you were to introduce someone to the series, they could start with the 2nd one and be brought up to speed quickly with the story.
.... but i haven't played it in a while, so i might be proven wrong when i do my massive playthrough of all 3 in a couple weeks.
Oh shit, forgot to put this video in:

Seriously, tho, the idea that Ghibli is run by hollywood is laughable. Also, these films are both adaptations of extremely popular classic children's books. What the hell, man? Put anything into your film about not destroying the environment and you become some kind of anti-american terrorist sympathizer.

This is either the first clip from Ridley Scott's "Prometheus", or the beginning of a viral marketing campaign for it. Either way, it's very cool and it has Guy Pearce.

I'd say viral marketing campaign. It's actually also on the TED site itself: http://blog.ted.com/TED2023/ and currently linked from the TED front page.
The website is also real.
That was so epic. I am so ridiculously psyched for this thing now. If the whole thing is that good, we're in for something special.
Awesome and genius clip. Fantastic turn from Guy Pierce too.

Shower Gels
LUSH Shower Gels and Smoothies are spectacular; you'll smell lovely all day after a top to toe shower. We design them not only to clean your skin, but also to impact your mood. Choose one to feel comforted, revitalized or, like you've just taken a walk in freshly mown grass. We make them by hand in small batches with herb, flower and fruit infusions and essential oils and just the right amount of cleansing stuff to get the dirt off.
The almond oil in Creamed Almond and Coconut Smoothie is from the Prunus dulcis, the one with pink blossom. We whip it up with plant butters, a gentle soap mix plus ylang and jasmine essential oils to make your skin feel extra lovely.
If you don't have a shower and our shower gels make you wish you did, we'll let you in on a secret; you can also use them in the bath.
If you're in a real hurry you can use our shower gels as shampoo. For regular use we recommend that you choose a shampoo specific to your own hair type but a shower gel won't hurt you, and they do make your hair smell gorgeous.
We like to turn everything solid to save on packaging but we still keep a handful of bottled shower gels for traditional types.

The Polk County Christian Coalition will sponsor its 14th annual "Sanctity of Life" march and memorial in downtown Cedartown on Saturday, Jan. 26.
According to organizer Larry Tolbert, the event will begin at 11:45 a.m. with a silent march from the parking lot adjacent to Polk County Farm Bureau and proceed north along Main Street to Polk County Courthouse No. 2.
A formal observance will be held on the steps of Courthouse No. 2 at noon with prayers, scripture reading, reports from local crisis pregnancy centers and the placement of memorial crosses on the courthouse lawn.
The event will be conducted in an orderly and respectful manner in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, Tolbert said.
The public is invited to attend and participate. The event will be held regardless of inclement weather. Signs are welcome to be carried and displayed along the march route in harmony with the event theme. Elected officials in attendance will be recognized.
"This marks the 40th anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion-on-demand through all stages of pregnancy in all 50 states," said organizer Larry Tolbert.
"Over 50 million pre-born babies have been lost in America alone. The coalition began the annual observance out of concern in taking a public stand against the practice."
For further information, please contact Larry Tolbert, principal organizer at 770-748-0396 or Suzanne Stewart, communications coordinator at 770-595-1642

Count Silvio wrote:Aren't finish and aftertaste the same things?
Count Silvio wrote:Help me create a rating system for my rum/whiskey reviews. I care about the bottle but it is not significant. I care about the aroma but it is not as important as the flavor which matters most. The aftertaste is perhaps a little more important than the aroma. I also take smoothness into consideration but I believe rum/whiskey should still have a bite.
This is what I have considered using:
Presentation: x (5)
Aroma: x (20)
Flavor: x (40)
Aftertaste: x (25)
Smoothness: x (10)
Overall score: xx
What are your opinions and suggestions?
Count Silvio wrote:I find myself speechless infront of your expertise.
Scottes you have made excellent points and I've changed my mind on a few things, very informative and helpful post.
RumRunner, a very detailed tasting process. If taken all these phases of tasting into account it seems like a hard task to give a score. How did you present the final score?
P.S. Perhaps as an ex-taster you could comment on my rum reviews and tell me if they are accurate or if I am way in the woods. Surely you have had the pleasure of tasting one of them?
Scottes wrote:This is bothersome to my current blogging style. Currently I:
1) Research the rum and try to find some interesting info about it, or the distillery, etc.
2) Taste and take notes.
3) Research some more, google around, read some forums.
4) Taste again and take some notes.
Generally at this point I will have some questions, mainly about particular tastes or smells. My palate is not yet refined enough to identify every single little taste it encounters. (My "taste-memory" sucks, I think.) So I will then:
5) Research some reviews to see if they help me identify some of my questioned points.
Often the other reviews help me identify some tastes or smells that I could not place.
6) Taste yet again, with these reviews in my head.
In order to be fair and honest, I do my best not to let these reviews influence me, which is why I have already written much down. But the reviews may enlighten me, so I may:
7) Adjust my notes to incorporate what I've learned from those other reviews.
Scottes wrote:Once I detected a particular smell, but I had no idea what it was. But another reviewer mentioned cardamom. I broke out my jar of cardamom, compared it to the rum to see if it was the same. It was similar. If I had kept smelling both I would have been convinced that it was cardamom that I had detected. In this case I was not confident, so I did not adjust my review, but I did chalk up another learning experience.
Rum Runner wrote:Dear Count. Firstly, I apologize for my horrid spelling and grammar. I have gone back and corrected my most blatant errors. If you find others please feel free to edit this into something legible.
Rum Runner wrote:If I may I shall address your comments here and then address Mr Scottes in a seperate post as there is much to cover here.
Rum Runner wrote:To cut to the chase, in all my years of professional judging we have never presented a final numerical score. It has aways been, Gold, Silver, Bronze, and sometimes an "honorable mention". Personally, I would like to do grievous bodily harm to Robert Parker and to the American Public for adopting a numerical score to wine assessment, which has seemingly overflowed into all things potable now. Numbers tell me NOTHING...What is the difference between a Rum scored 98 or 97??? It tells me nothing. A critical assessment as outlined in my previous post delivers something to "chew on" and let's each one discover for themselves where their preference lye. I have no problem with casual reviews. They are interesting and informative. And I think that you (as well as Scottes) have a good grasp of the principles. If you want to raise your own level of critical assessment, then hone your tasting skills, find benchmarks to help establish a "tasting memory", and then Illuminate your finding in WORDS...Not numbers. I hear the beckoning of "she who must be obeyed"...To be continued..Scottes.. I'll get to you tommorow...
Rum Runner
Rum Runner wrote:Dear Count. I have re-read your rum reviews and find them very enjoyable. If I were to want for anything more it would be to see a bit more attention paid to the appearance of the spirit in the glass and then to a more detailed conclusion on the overall quality assessment. Otherwise a fine job. You are to be commended in my humble opinion.
Count Silvio wrote:You need to be careful though not to smell too much of the cardamom for example. It might get "stuck" in your nose and then you think you smell it in the rum. I am not sure if this is what you meant or if it was more psychological...
Count Silvio wrote:Quite often when I'm tasting it might take a very long time for me to recognize a flavor. I keep tasting and tasting and then all of the sudden it just pops up in my head "Coffee!" This happened when I was doing the review for Pampero.
Count Silvio wrote:I actually haven't written much in the past so I am still struggling with the reviews a bit.
Scottes wrote:Count Silvio wrote:I actually haven't written much in the past so I am still struggling with the reviews a bit.
This isn't easy to do, because I know you *want* to blog, but try to review a rum a night, but don't put any up on the site.
Review a rum, take notes.
The next night, re-read and edit that review, and review another rum and take notes.
The next night, re-read and edit both reviews, and review another rum and take notes.
And so on and on.
Save up the reviews, re-reading and editing each until you are sure it's perfect. At that point, forget about it for 3 days, re-read and edit, and then post.
If I had more patience and better discipline I would edit each blog post 4 or 5 times, and always have 3 to 5 posts in the edit cycle. Alas, I write, edit once, post, and then correct minor things throughout the course of the week. Sloppy, I know.
Dood wrote:I'd just like to say that I've been thoroughly enjoying this thread as I've slowly worked through it during the work-day (been a busy day today).
Lots of great information and ideas here. My wife and I are actually in the very early stages of trying to set up a rum tasting evening with some friends.
Count Silvio wrote:To give more range I've considered: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum awards. Platinum given only to the most exquisite of rums. Although I'm not sure if I should have one more lower category as some products don't deserve even bronze.

if it is poor, why not just have a "No Reward Given" instead of yet another award? I think simplicity and fewer awards forces you to really judge properly and thoroughly. I would drop the Platinum as well for similar reasons.

A Cinderella Story (with booze)
Leo: Hey, here's a nutty idea... what if we went to San Francisco?
So@24: Well then. That is a nutty idea. Fuck it, let's do it.
So that was it. We were heading to San Francisco. Leo and I emailed a few other friends and everyone hopped on that party train (unfortunately, Jack couldn't make it. He said it was work but I'll put my money on he still recovering from Santa Barbara).
I was looking forward to a weekend away from Los Angeles and reuniting with old friends. And of course, there was the possibility of hanging out with Bree again. Since our first encounter, I wasn't sure when I'd see her next.
Over the next week, the boys and I started finalizing San Francisco plans -- dinners, bars, bbqs, Frisbee golf, more bars... you know, a packed weekend. When I told Bree I'd be in town , she seemed enthusiastic. Unfortunately, she could only come out for Friday night, she would be out of town the rest of the weekend. My timing wasn't the greatest; figures.
Within an hour of landing in San Francisco, I was well on my way to checking off "throwing back lots of booze with old friends" on my list of things to do. I was texting back and forth with Bree, trying to find a location to join both her group and mine.
It was already close to 10:00pm at this point (you know what it's like to mobilize troops) and I was getting more worried that my time with Bree was going to be extremely truncated. Also, as it came closer to catch a cab, my nerves grew and in turn, so did the shots of scotch. Leo would have probably stepped in to make sure I wasn't getting too drunk, but this was his vacation too. No rest for the wicked.
The group piled into cabs and we were dropped off at a bar that was located in a side alley of San Francisco; pretty cool. There was a good crowd forming and the jukebox was pumping out the hits. I stood in a circle with my friends, but I admittedly was torn between conversation and looking over their shoulders at the doorway, keeping an eye out for Bree. Leo gave me a pat on the shoulder and we took a tequila shot.
I went to the bar to order a round for the boys and when I turned, Bree was standing right behind me. She flashed her signature dimpled smile and I, in turn, grinned like a fucking goon. I quickly introduced her to all of my friends, but noticed that none of her friends made it out. Bree had come to meet up with us solo. Ballsy.
After introductions were made, I pulled her to the bar so I could order her a drink. I think she did her fair share of prefunking as well and we were both tossed at that point. While we were waiting for the bartender to catch our attention, she gave me that headtilt that girls do that I absolutely love.
You know what I'm talking about? It's just a slight tilt of the head and a coy smile. That shit can stop a man in dead in his tracks, I swear to God.
It was then I went in for a kiss and it was reciprocated. No nerves, no second guessing. I didn't overthink it. And it was good.
I've written before how I hate when a guy and a girl kiss in public settings. It grosses me out. But I was 100% fucking guilty of this on Friday night. However, if I have any room to make a plea to the court, it wasn't that disgusting, humping on the dance floor kiss you see all the time. I'm talking like the "hold her face with two hands, put her hair behind her ears" kind of kiss. The good shit. The kind that's so goddamn sweet, those who were fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of it might now have diabetes.
Again, I'm not usually the type to do these acts in public arenas, but I remember thinking to myself, "I just don't care." I didn't know when I'd get the chance to do this again and my time with Bree was limited. I was fine with being "that guy".
I stuffed a couple of wrinkled bills in the jukebox, we both decided that MJ's "The Way You Make Me Feel" was the best song to play at that point (that's a fucking winner, ladies & gentlemen), and we danced.
After seemed like only a few minutes, Bree said that she needed to head home. I walked her to a cab and offered to see that she made it back safely. She insisted I stay so I closed the door, wished her a safe trip and wave "goodbye".
And with that, she was gone. Like fucking Cinderella and that cab was the fucking pumpkin carriage.
All in all, it was a great weekend. Had a great time hanging out with Leo and the rest of the guys, and it was a welcome escape from the tedium of LA. And seeing Bree was nice. All too brief, but such is life.

Yeah, a jiss with a girl you actually like!! That's a step in the right direction.

Dude, I don't post here often, but I wanted to say that I noticed a sort of different tone to the last like 4 or 5 paragraphs (everything after the "Again, I don't..." paragraph). Namely, the tone that yields "sexy time," as Mr. RS27 would say (although apparently not do).

LOWELL, Mass. — Stephen King loves scaring people, but one student at University of Massachusetts Lowell tried to find out Friday what scares him.
"Spiders, snakes ... my mother-in-law," the writer said with a grin.
The author of international bestselling books including "Carrie" and "The Shining" came to the college to talk with writing students.
English Department professor Andre Dubus III, another bestselling author and an old friend of King's, shared the stage for about an hour as students asked questions about their craft.
King told the crowd of about 125 students that his goal is to write stories that sizzle with emotion.
"I'm a confrontational writer. I want to be in your face. I want to get into your space. I want to get within kissing distance, hugging distance, choking distance, punching distance. Call it whatever you want. But I want your attention."
He got that Friday, plus some laughs.
Wearing jeans and a black T-shirt, the 65-year-old writer from Maine peppered his talk with profanity and promised students he was just a regular guy.
He said they shouldn't be in awe like he was when he was a University of Maine freshman and heard a talk from "Catch-22" author Joseph Heller.
"It's not like being U2, you know what I'm saying?" King said. Continued...
The author told students he knows where he gets his writing ideas about half the time, and his fascination for horror stories didn't come from childhood trauma.
During his lecture and in an interview later, King also talked about two books he's finished that will be published in 2013.
The author's crime novel "Joyland" will be out in paperback in July, followed in September by the book "Doctor Sleep," a sequel to his thriller "The Shining."
The story is set in a New Hampshire hospice, where now all-grown-up character Danny Torrance works.
King said he had reservations about writing a sequel, but people always wanted to know more about the little boy from "The Shining."
"People used to ask me, years later after 'The Shining,' what ever happened to that kid? ... I'd say 'I don't know.' But it started to kind of kick around in my brain, you know?"
Because Torrance can read minds, King said he was intrigued by the idea of having the character work in a hospice as someone who helps people cross over from life to death.
The author encouraged students to be people-watchers and pick up on traits that would let them create their own characters.
King also warned them against becoming discouraged about publishers' rejection slips and said not to use notebooks for story ideas. He said the stuff that's worth writing stays in your head.
"My method for starting anything is I tell myself the story when I'm laying in bed at night, waiting to go to sleep," King said. Continued...
The no-notebook idea made an impression on sophomore Joshua Beverage, who said later he'd give the method a try. The 19-year-old creative writing major said he's been reading King's stories and seeing movies based on them since he was 8.
"I never thought I'd actually be in his presence. That was really big for me," he said.
Sophomore literature major Chelsea Graham said she was impressed King said it should be up to readers to decide what books are important to them.
"I liked how he said it's a good book when it sort of takes over your life," the 19-year-old said.
Dubus, who joined King on another UMass Lowell stage later Friday for a talk before an audience of 3,000, said the earlier lecture meant a lot.
"He gives these students the sense that the university is important, where they are is important, what they're doing is significant, and that they count," he said.
But for as much writing advice as King shared with students, the horror master also left them with some mystery.
"I've always wondered who I am when I write," King said, "because once I'm doing it, I'm not in the room with myself."

Critique please, Trying to achieve a clean look
I think it looks pretty good. although its never good to add too much of one thing. There are too many colored tabs on the site and in random places. A bit more emptiness and space would give it a clean look. So try uncluttering the site a bit more. Get rid of the unnecessary stuff.
Is there a chance you have an example so I could see what you have in mind?
Hey man, you're almost there I agree with Jarolin. IMHO I would remove the color backgrounds on the titles they look like tags or actionable elements and compete with other things on the page also maybe remove the green on the x's next to the titles as well. The x's on the left have a 3d effect that no other buttons do I would kill that and just make them flat. Add some more padding around the text and there containers. Also the list elements are nested more than they need to be adding additional lines and visual noise. Even though the are draggable elements perhaps you can make them look more like a twitter feed list and expose the borders only on hover or mouse down. Theres a few things hope that helps! Good work though man you are on the right track! Love the colors you chose as well!
Hi, in my honest opinion, it is a good looking side. You might want to darker the bright colors. For an example, search for the Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2012 or Azure Web Interface.
@jeffPowers I absolutely see what you're talking about, today all I'm doing now that most of the function is down is getting this production ready. That on hover show light borders == smart
@Tobonaut Exactly the sort of feel I'm going for: http://davidrbrown.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/web_access_home.jpg I actually have a dribbble bucket going of similar looking design: http://dribbble.com/lavaeagle/buckets/37296-Good-web-design
ty for that feedback! I'll post updated pics soon using your feedback.
Hey just wanted to update with some progress A lot less visual distractions and now that a lot of the function is wrapping up I can add some better styling to it.
Hey Michael,
The layout looks pretty good but I'm not a fan of the green. I would stick with either a monochromatic color scheme of blue and use different shades of blue to replace the green, or MAYBE try an orange color...
Another thing that I'm crazy about are the rounded corners on the sidebar links. I think consistency would establish a better flow to the overall design, so just angled corners or just rounded.
Finally... you have some spacing issues that should be addressed...
On the left sidebar: Michael Calkins should be spaced the same as Michael Calkins in Contacts (Middle Column)...
Browse Group: Links should have a little more breathing room (Line height)
When spacing elements think constancy.
Nice work though.
MJC if this interface is for administrative purposes (intranet) I like it a lot. If it is for the internet and it is to build and manage a client base then I would like to see images of smiling faces.
I would keep the color green in the body and out of the header

Yes, this is Stephanie...or Daisy or Daus (depends on where we met). In highschool I was really big into digital art but since then other interests/life have kept me preoccupied and art took a backseat. I am now trying to get into art again by trying to post something everyday in an attempt to improve no matter how embarrassed I may be!
I'm a 20 something digital artist and a new Registered Nurse. I've been on the internet for over 10 years. I like pastel cats, FFXI and Dr Pepper.

Best Uses
This is an attractive pot at a very reasonable price. The major disappointment was that the water level gauge does not appear to work. I added almost two gallons of water and the level did not move at all. I should have checked how much water it would take before putting soil in it. There appears to be no way to tell when to add water or if you've added too much. Time will tell.

I've owned these planters for 6 years and they are still in great condition even tho they are exposed to 115 degree weather here in AZ in full sun! My only problem was the water retention in the bottom didn't work as it should. The water just became stagnant and plants dried out so I stopped using the fill tube or depending on the system.

- Hanging from deck railing
This is a good product. Nice size to allow for plants to spread. Used to replace smaller container that I had been using for several years hanging from the deck rail. Use caution when creating overflow holes. Though I followed the instructions included mine cracked. Customer service was wonderful and replaced it as soon as they were back in stock.
- Limited water reservoir
- Poorly functioning flag
Best Uses
This is not as well made as the larger round self-watering planters, which I love. The reservoir is quite small. The water level flags are very poorly designed, easily dislodged, and can't be reliably used. I still like these planters as a means of having colorful flowering annuals over an area containing bulbs that I'd rather not remove, but it's disappointing that they're not as well designed as the other self-watering planters
- Best tomatoes I ever grew
- First time patio garden
- I will buy more next year
- Vegetables thriving
- Out of stock until July
- Wanted to purchase more
Best Uses
- Easy to move
- Herbs thrive
- Patio Garden
I was dissappointed in the shipping. Two of three boxes came damaged, as they were badly packed (no protection for each box). The replacements we were offered would have come to late for our growing season. I am certainly going to order the 31" boxes again next year.
Your customer service was excellent and called back immediately. I will be dealing with you again. Your product is everything you claimed.

I own lots of self-watering planters. I obviously love them because I keep adding to my collection. I own several large ones that I use at our rocky summer home. I grow potatoes and rotate crops in those. This purchase was for two more troughs to use for growing lettuce and other salad greens at our winter home in Florida. Several benefits include: growing crops out of reach of deer, rabbits, and other critters; eliminating the wet-to-dry issues associated with other container growing; controlling the soil and soil amendments -- it's easy to dump and remix soil and to rotate crops; adjusting for climate and sunshine -- they can be moved for light, rain, frost; and the plants like them as much as I do.

Best Uses

Depth and soil volume allowed the addition of tall and spreading flowers and foliage in a wide, raised portico area that had looked barren. Now there is the "pop" of interesting textures in the semi-shade entrance.
