MISSOURI. October 1826. Diet and Health of Frontier Women.
The too frequent eating of meat produces unpleasant results espe. cially among members of the feminine sex, because their household tasks demand far less of the exercise necessary for digestion than the men have in their work in forest and fields and during their hunting It is easy enough to understand that men who have been working in the open since five or six o'clock in the morning, or have roamed around hunting, enjoy a breakfast of meat dishes, pork roast, and fowl toward nine o'clock. But that a city woman (with whom the American women can be compared in delicacy of physique and manner of living) can eat the same food without leaving her rooms is rather remarkable. A number of prevalent ailments are due merely to the excessive eating of fatty meat dishes. As soon as the patients restrict themselves to coffee bread, and butter during the morning, they feel better.
Most of the ailments from which the natives suffer are their own fault. They have little relation to the climate. But the manner of living, which is the common one here, would very soon kill half the population in Germany. Children and adults, whether they are healthy or ill, eat and drink, in summer as well as in winter, whatever tastes good to them. To fast in times of illness is considered great folly. It never occurs to anyone to protect himself against colds either. In every season one sees the children run half-naked into the open from their beds or from the heat of the hearth. Some houses are open to the wind on all sides, and the householders do not take the trouble to guard against the penetration of the cold northwest winds by using a little clay. Every day they would rather drag a cartload of wood to the hearth, around which the Whole family gathers.
LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY. August 15, 1836. The effect of climate on the health of Americans.
From what I have seen of the climate of America, I am convinced that it is not healthy. The fierce extremes of heat and cold that are experienced, and the sudden changes of temperature (the thermometer varying sometimes twenty or thirty degrees in one day) must be very trying on the constitution. There is none of that equality of temperature which is so favourable to health.
The appearance of the people, particularly those who dwell to the Eastward of the Alleghanies, proves that the climate is unhealthy. The men are almost invariably bad complexioned, lathy, wall sided, round shouldered fellows, with a tout ensemble adequately described by no other term than Yankey-ishness. I don't suppose that a set of such looking men could be met with anywhere else than America. The women are generally thin and pale faced, with flat ricketty figures.
HEALTH. General Treatise on Hygeine, Climate, Exercise, Posture, Complexion, Diet, Anxiety, and Intemperance.
Some popular American writers have lately laid hold of this subject, to the great advantage of the society in which they live. Dr. Combe's "Principles of Physiology " has gone through several editions; and I know that the demand of society for fresh air and soap and water has considerably in. creased in consequence. But much remains to be done. In private houses, baths are a rarity. In steam-boats, the accommodations for washing are limited in the extreme; and in all but first-rate hotels, the philosophy of personal cleanliness is certainly not understood. The Creoles of Louisiana are the most satisfactory hosts and hostesses in this respect, except a few particularly thoughtful people elsewhere In the house of a Creole, a guest finds a large pan or tub of fresh cold water, with soap and towels, placed in a corner of his room, morning and night. In such a climate as that of New Orleans, there is no safety nor comfort in anything short of a complete ablution, twice a day. On board steam-boats which have not separate state-rooms, there are no means of preserving sufficient cleanliness and health. How the ladies of the cabin call expect to enjoy any degree of vigour and cheerfulness during a voyage of four or five days, during which they wash merely their faces and hands, I cannot imagine. It is to be hoped that the majority will soon demand that there should be a range of washing-closets in all steam-boats whose voyages are longer than twenty-four hours.
The common excuse for the deficient activity and lack of fresh air is the climate. But this excuse will not avail while there are ladies who do preserve their health by walking and riding, and thoroughly ventilating their houses. Any one who knows Stockbridge, and the feats which are there performed by a troop of rosy, graceful girls, and active women, will reject all pleas about the difficulty of getting air and exercise. It is one of the misfortunes of a new country that its cities have environs which are little tempting for walking. It must be acknowledged that it requires some resolution to go out to walk in places no more tempting than Pennsylvania Avenue, at Washington; Broadway, New York; or the trim streets of Philadelphia; or even the pretty Common at Boston. But the way to have good country walks provided is to wish for them. When the whole female society of America shall be as fond of exercise, as highly-principled with regard to it, as the Stockbridge ladies, the facilities will be furnished. In the meantime, there are pretty walks within reach of the whole population except that of three or four large cities. Boston is particularly unfortunate in occupying a promontory, from which it is usually necessary to pass very long bridges to the mainland: a passage too bleak to be attempted in windy weather, and too exposed to be endurable in a hot sun, without necessity. But those who have carriages can easily get transported beyond this inconvenience; and for those who have not, there is the Common and the Neck..
Those who wish for health, and know how to seek it, contrive to walk in summer very early in the morning; like residents in India. The mornings of the sultry months are perfectly delicious; and there is no excuse for neglect of exercise while they last. The autumn weather of the northern States is the best of the year, when the hues and airs of paradise seem shed abroad. The greater number of days in the winter admit of exercise. The winds are too cutting to be encountered; but the days of calm clear frost might be much better employed in walking than in sleighing. No eulogiums on the sleigh will ever reconcile me to it. I dislike the motion, and, after a short time, the jingle of the bells. But the danger is the prime consideration. Young ladies who dry up their whole frames in the heat of fires of anthracite coal, never breathing the outward air but in going to church, and in stepping in and out of the carriage in going to parties, will once in a time go on a sleighing expedition; sitting motionless in the open air, with hot bricks to their feet, and their faces in danger of being frost-bitten. If there be pleasure in such frolics, it is too dearly bought by the peril. If the troops of girls who would mourn over the abolition of sleighing would but try how they like the luxury of daily active exercise in fresh air, they would find the exchange well worth making, on the score of pleasure alone.
The ladies plead that they have much exercise within doors, about their household occupations. Except making beds, rubbing tables, and romping with children, I know of no household occupations which involve much exercise. The weariness which some of them occasion, is of a kind which would be relieved by walking. And all this does not imply fresh air, of which no one can get enough without going out into it, except in some country residences. It made me sorrowful to see children shut up during the winter in houses, heated by anthracite coal up to the temperature of 85 degrees; and to see how pallid and dried the poor little things looked, long before there was a prospect of their speedy release from their imprisonment. Some, who were let out on fine days, were pretty sure to catch cold. Those only seemed heartily to thrive who were kept in rooms moderately heated, and vigorously exercised in the open air, on all but windy and other unmanageable days. The burning of anthracite coal affected me unpleasantly, except where an evaporation of water was going on in the room. I suspect that some of the maladies of the country may be more or less owing to its use.
One proof of the badness of the system of non-exercising, is found in the fact that the distortion of the spine is even more common among women in America than in Europe. Physicians who have turned their attention to this symptom, declare that the difficulty is to find in boarding-schools a spine that is perfectly straight: and when the period of growth is completed, a large majority of cases remains where the weakness is not entirely got over. The posture-making of the United States is renowned. Of course there is a cause for a propensity so general. The languor induced by the climate is that assigned. The ladies not being able to use the same freedom as the gentlemen, get rid of their languor as they may; but not as they best may. Instead of sitting still all through the hot weather, and all through the cold weather, they had better exercise their limbs during some portion of the day, and lie down during the most sultry hours; and in the winter, avail themselves of every opportunity for active employment. If they would do this, it is not to be conceived that the next generation would be distinguished as the present is for its spare forms and pallid complexions.
The apathy on the subject of health was to me no otherwise to be accounted for than by supposing that the feeling of vigorous health is almost unknown. Invalids are remarkably uncomplaining and unalarmed; and their friends talk of their having "a weak breast," and " delicate lungs," with little more seriousness than the English use in speaking of a common cold. The numbers of clergymen who had to leave their flocks, professors their chairs, young men and women their country, in pursuit of health, made me melancholy sometimes when the friends and neighbours took it calmly as the commonest of events. As I am pretty confident that a remedy might be found in more judicious management, this acquiescence strikes me as being by far too Mahomedan in its character. The extremest case that I met with was in a lady, who declared, with complacency, that she could not walk a mile. She owned her belief that the inactivity of the American women shortened their lives by some years; but thought this did not matter, as they were not aware of it at the time.
I should like to see a well-principled reform in diet tried, with a view to the improvement of the general health. I should like to see hot bread and cakes banished; a diminution in the quantity of pickles and preserves, and also in the quantity of meat eaten. I should like to see the effect of making the diet of children more simple. A1most any change would be worth trying for so great an object. What is to become of the next, and again of the succeeding generation, if the average of health cannot be raised, it is fearful to think of. The only prevalence of vigorous health that I witnessed in the country, was in the elevated parts of the Alleghany range; in the State of Michigan; and perhaps I might add, among the ladies of Charleston, who pass three quarters of the year in the open air of their piazzas.
All these means of improving health, though probably necessary, will not avail without some others. There must be less anxiety of mind among men, and less vacuity among women. With a brain fully but equably exercised, and composed nerves, the above-mentioned methods would probably enable the Americans to defy the changes of their climate: but not without this justice to the brain and nerves. It is rather remarkable that this anxiety prevails most in the parts of the country which make the most conspicuous profession of religion. Religious faith and hope should naturally promote health and equanimity by teaching the spirit to repose on immovable principles, and unintermitting laws: by disburdening the mind of worldly cares, and giving rest to the weary and heavy laden. If it does not thus calm and lighten the mind, it fails of its effect. If it disturbs the mental and bodily frame, its operation is perverted. It would be well if this were looked to. The more moderate religionists point to the graves of the young who have fallen victims to Revivals. Let them look at home to see if no spiritual competition, no asceticism interferes with the equable workings of the frame, by which its powers are kept in vigorous and joyous action, without excess.
There is no doubt of this wear and tear from anxiety being the chief cause of the excessive use of tobacco in the United States. Its charm to men, who have not the elasticity of health and good animal spirits to oppose to toil and trouble, may be imagined. It is to be hoped that the enjoyment of the natural and perfect stimulant will soon supersede the use of the artificial and pernicious one.
The vacuity of mind of many women is, I conclude, the cause of a vice which it is painful to allude to; but which cannot honestly be passed over, in the consideration of the morals and the health of American women. It is no secret on the spot, that the habit of intemperance is not infrequent among women of station and education in the most enlightened parts of the country. I witnessed some instances, and heard of more. It does not seem to me to be regarded with all the dismay which such a symptom ought to excite. To the stranger, a novelty so horrible, a spectacle so fearful, suggests wide and deep subjects of investigation. If women, in a region professing religion. more strenuously than any other, living in the deepest external peace, surrounded by prosperity, and outwardly honoured more conspicuously than in any other country, can ever so far cast off self restraint, shame, domestic affection, and the deep prejudices of education, as to plunge into the living hell of intemperance, there must be something fearfully wrong in their position. An intemperate man has strong temptation to plead: he began with conviviality, and only arrives at solitary intemperance as the ultimate degradation. A woman indulges in the vice in solitude and secrecy, as long as secrecy is possible. She knows that there is no excuse, no solace, no hope. There is nothing before her but despair. It is impossible to suppose otherwise than that there has been despair throughout: the despair which waits upon vacuity. I believe that the practice has, in some few cases, arisen from physicians prescribing cordials to growing girls at school, and from the difficulty found in desisting from the use of agreeable stimulants. In other cases, the vice is hereditary. In others, no explanation remains, but that which appears to me quite sufficient, vacuity of mind. Lest my mention of this very remarkable fact should lead to the supposition of the practice being more common than it is, I think it right to state, that I happened to know of seven or eight cases in the higher classes of society of one city. The number of cases is a fact of comparatively small importance. That one exists, is a grief which the whole of society should take to heart, and ponder with the entire strength of its understanding.
LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY. September 1838. Health, Mortality, and Childbearing.
That this has been a very unhealthy season is certain, but still, from all the information I could obtain, there is a great mortality every year in the districts I have pointed out; and such indeed must be the case, from the miasma created every fall of the year in these rich alluvial soils, some portions of which have been worked for fifty years without the assistance of manure, and still yield abundant crops. It will be a long while before the drainage necessary to render them healthy can be accomplished. The sickly appearance of the inhabitants establishes but too well the facts related to me; and yet, strange to say, it would appear to be a provision of Providence, that a remarkable fecundity on the part of the women in the more healthy portions of their Western States, should meet the annual expenditure of life. Three children at a birth are more common here than twins are in England; and they, generally speaking, are all reared up. There have been many instances of even four.

infosurv needed a new print or packaging design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 31 designs submitted by 12 freelance designers.
We need an attractive PDF format marketing brochure for a new service offering that we're launching. The content is already written, we just need a talented graphic designer to make it look good. The final brochure will be 3-4 pages long including a cover page, but just submit your design for the first content page to win.
Infosurv Concept Exchange (iCE)
The PDF brochure should have a consistent look-and-feel with the Infosurv Concept Exchange (iCE) website and logo, viewable at http://www.infosurv.com/ice
It should look clean, professional, and innovative. iCE is a new service offering being launched by Infosurv (http://www.infosurv.com), an online survey company.
Below is the content for the first page of the brochure. If you can't fit it all that's fine, just fit whatever you can. **********************************************************- What is the Infosurv Concept Exchange (iCE)?iCE is a patent-pending prediction market sponsored by Infosurv, a leading online market research firm. This innovative, high-tech system presents a new and highly accurate way to predict the success of new products, packages, logos, advertisements, and anything else traditionally measured with monadic concept tests. - How does iCE work? iCE is an online market where respondents are given free virtual dollars to buy "shares" in the products, packages, logos, or advertisements that our clients wish to test. Just like in real world markets, share prices fluctuate based on the perceived market value of the underlying asset. By observing how share prices move over time, we can make very accurate predictions regarding the real world success of the concepts being tested. To learn more about the academic and commercial research backing the power of prediction markets like iCE, please read our white paper "Prediction Markets for Market Research."- What are the advantages of iCE over traditional monadic concept tests?- • Cost savings – Because iCE can recruit respondents and win their engagement more easily than traditional market research panels, our research costs are much lower. We can also test far more concepts simultaneously on iCE than a traditional concept test, so the cost savings are especially dramatic on a per concept basis.- • Speed – The typical time required to design, field, and analyze a traditional concept test is 4-6 weeks. Turn-around time on iCE concept tests is much less – just 2 weeks from project kick-off to presentation of final results. iCE projects are completed more quickly due to ease of setup, respondent recruitment, and data analysis.- • Better respondent engagement – One of the chief concerns in the market research industry today is respondent engagement. Since surveys are often long and uninteresting, respondents have the tendency to rush through just to collect their incentive. Our respondents, on the other hand, view participating in our market as an entertaining game with both intrinsic and extrinsic rewards. Since respondents can win real world cash depending on the accuracy of their predictions, they have ample motivation to remain engaged in the process.- • No risk of misrepresented or "professional" survey takers – Other major concerns in the market research industry today are respondents who misrepresent themselves to qualify for a survey, and "professional" survey respondents who participate in lots of survey panels and have a disproportionate voice in samples. iCE avoids both of these issues. Since iCE respondents never have to qualify for a particular study based on demographic or behavioral criteria, they have no reason to misrepresent themselves. In addition, "professional" respondents are not a concern because if some iCE participants are disproportionately active in our markets, the validity of the market's conclusions is only enhanced.- • Qualitative concept feedback – Our respondents are given a mechanism for explaining why they buy or sell shares in certain concepts, allowing clients to collect qualitative feedback which answer the question, "Why?" This feedback can be used to explain the behavior of the iCE market and help the client create more innovative and successful future concepts.

The Xp 33 is a high stability 30-footer which benefits from the same advanced construction techniques as the larger yachts in the Xperformance Range for superb sailing performance and build quality.
In designing the Xp 33 hull, our main focus was on creating a yacht with fantastic all-round performance, in contrast to many modern sportboats which rely heavily on downwind performance in breezy weather. Within its very first season, the race results demonstrated that the Xp 33 is seriously quick, with overall victories under international rating systems.
The design process of the Xp 33 involved intensive testing of different hull shapes using Velocity Prediction Programs, as well as anticipated IRC and ORC ratings. The final Xp 33 hull form was the best performer all round in windspeeds of 5-20 knots, with a wide and powerful transom combined with maximum waterline length and a low freeboard. The shape is consistent with the race-winning Xp family, but adjusted to suit her lighter displacement.
When sailing upright in light airs mode the Xp 33 has narrow, low-resistance waterlines to slip through the water in even faint breezes. As she heels, she gains stability thanks to her increased waterline length, wide stern and high ballast to weight ratio,
for high performance sailing in heavy airs, on reaching angles and under the generous asymmetric spinnaker.

The Story of a Friend's Cab Ride in London
What was your last cab ride like?
A dear friend of Desiring God recently wrote to us about an experience in a London taxi that blessed him—and made more than a few of us here laugh out loud in delight!
by Rick Segal
Wednesday night I was on my own in London. Such a void in the schedule gives me the chance to taxi in from Chelsea Harbor to Central London to Foyles, my favorite bookstore in all the world.
The distinctive, boxy, black London taxi is a masterpiece of western civilization. In no other city can one navigate urban traffic in a cleaner, more spacious, more professionally operated vessel at a more reasonable price. Unlike the usually filthy, dinged-up yellow cabs of Manhattan, often driven as if they were offensive military weapons, a London cab is a parlor on wheels, and depending on how chatty the one is who ends up picking up your fare, it can be almost like a confessional booth. I took seat in my taxi and dispatched the driver to Foyles on the Charing Cross Road.
"Have they got a book signing or a lecture there, tonight," the driver asked.
"No, I'm just a reader. I'm just going there to browse awhile," I replied.
"I'm a reader, too," he said. "I like to read British history and the like. I have a lot of books. My wife grumbles at me all the time. They take up a lot of space, you know."
I empathized with his spatial constraints and spousal grievances. "Have you tried any of these new e-readers," I inquired.
"Not really a proper book, is it?," he objected.
"My sentiments, exactly. Do you have any children who might like to inherit your library?"
"I've a daughter. She's in the university. She may want some of them one day, but I suspect she'll just sell them all to the auction house."
"I don't even like to think of it."
"Me, neither," he said. "I'm a keeper, I am. Me wife, she's a reader, but she'll buy 'em second hand, then take 'em to the poorhouse when she's done."
"A better soul than me she is," I said.
"You and me, both," as he edged the taxi almost on to the curb to permit the on-coming vehicle to make its way past us on the very narrow cross street.
I said, "About a third of my library is history and biography, a third business and economics and a third theology. The wife has most of the fiction down in the basement."
"Theology!," he exclaimed, "Why, that's what me daughter's a studyin' at the university."
"I have two sons studying theology." I boasted. "One son is at a small Baptist seminary in Minneapolis, and another, an adopted son from Africa, is working on his doctorate at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky."
"Are they called to be ministers of the gospel?"
"Marshall definitely feels lead to preaching ministry. Dieudonne' wants to return to Cameroon to teach in and maybe one day even lead the seminary there near his hometown, but he's a mighty preacher, and I can't imagine him without a pulpit, as well."
"Are you a churchman, yourself," he asked, "a Baptist?"
"Oh, I am a believer to be sure, but I'm not a Baptist. We're in a small but global denomination called the Evangelical Free Church. It has Scandinavian roots. We used to be Methodists, but felt the denomination had gone somewhat adrift."
"Aye, as it has here, mate," he countered. "Here in the UK, the farther you get from central London, the more evangelical the Methodists are. Get into the center of town and you may find a Methodist church, but the people in it will be Methodists first and Christians fourth."
I regret I didn't then probe what were the other two levels in the British Methodist's hierarchy of needs, but instead went on to tell him more about my reading habits. "One of the areas I've done a lot a reading in is that of the English Puritans of the 16th and 17th centuries."
"You mean like Richard Baxter and old Sibbes?"
I laughed out loud. This was the tipping point in the conversation at which it turned surreal.
"Yes, and John Owen and Jeremiah Burroughs," I replied.
"Ah, Owen, The Prince of the Puritans. And Thomas Brooks and John Flavel," he volleyed back.
"And, later, John Newton."
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found; was blind, but now I see," he bellowed.
"And George Swinnock, Thomas Watson and, of course, Bunyan," I stoked.
"John Bunyan. Was there ever another like him," he said accelerating through the intersection.
"'A Pilgrim's Progress' has sold more books in the English language than any other book but the Bible," I affirmed.
"And what a story it tells," he said. "We've met every one of those characters along our own ways, have we not?"
The traffic had us stopped, now. The conversation subsided momentarily, then he said, "I'll go out a limb here, mate. It's just my own opinion, but if you strip Christian Reformed theology out of the story of Great Britain, you've got nothing left in it that would have made her great."
This from my taxi driver.
"Are you familiar with an American preacher by the name of Tim Keller?" he asked.
"Yes, I am. I've read his books and heard him preach a couple of times."
"I really like what the man has to say," he replied, "We can't leave the gospel a hangin' back in the years gone by. It's as relevant today as when God first spoke it, and Keller I think does a real fine job of makin' it relevant to the day."
"Well, since you've mentioned Keller," I said, "I told you my son was in the seminary in Minneapolis. He's studying under a pastor there by the name of John Piper. Are you familiar with him?"
"John Piper!," he said in a 'stop-the-car' kind of way that, well, actually stopped the car. "My lands. Piper is the greatest living preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ. So, your son is there at the Bethlehem Baptist Church with Piper himself. Oh, what a special privilege and blessing that must be for him." He weaved around Trafalgar Square, passed The Crypt at St. Martin's in The Field and turned on the Charing Cross Road. "We're about there," he said, "Say, do you know about the Banner of Truth Trust?"
"Yes, I own a lot of their titles" I replied. "Whoever endowed that trust did the Kingdom a great service by keeping the old Puritans in print."
"Have you ever heard of the late Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones?"
"Perhaps the greatest expository preacher of the 20th century," I said, "I've read some of his works and I've listened to recordings of his preaching."
"He's got a funny voice, doesn't he?" He slowed the taxi, "Now, if you're familiar with Ian Murray's biography of Lloyd-Jones published by the Banner of Truth..."
I was.
"...I'll have you know that this little church right here on our left was the very church in which The Great Doctor himself was married to his beloved wife. Right there."
The building was but a dark, unlit interruption of the architecture on a block otherwise sparkling with the lights and adornments of the London Theater District. Still, it seemed to me more spectacular that it should suddenly present itself at this point in our conversation than all the neon blinking up and down the marquees of the Charing Cross Road.
"Well, here we are," he said as he punched the meter to calculate my fare. As I fumbled for my billfold, he said, "You know, mate, there probably aren't but a handful of people in all of this great city who would have the slightest idea or notion of what you and I have just been talking about. What are the odds that you and I would end up in the same taxi on this night?"
Through all of this short but meandering journey, I had only ever heard his voice, seen the back of his head and occasionally his bespectacled eyes, as lamp posts made them apparent to me through the rearview mirror. Now, I was out of the taxi, standing on the curb alongside the driver's side door, finally looking him straight in the face.
"It was God's will," I said with a smile as I handed him my fare.
He chuckled and shook his head in astonishment. "It was God's will. Indeed."

Optimal range
"Optimal" might not be the best range to be at
If you dont hit, the damage you WOULD HAVE DONE is irelevant
Hitting: Is based on:
Your guns tracking speed (Xrad/sec), high tracking = more hits
The enemies signature radius (how big it is), big target = more hits
The enemies transversal speed (how fast its orbiting you), high speed = few hits
Radom factor
Damage: Is based on:
Your guns optimal range
Your ammo type used
Random factor
Quality of the hit
To do damage, you have to hit the target so hitting is the priority.
How does range affect your dombat efficiency:
Lets take a 425 railgun with uranium as an example:
Tracking is 0.03rad/sec, optimal is 40km, falloff is 25km
Lets say you always hit
Target is 0-40km away, damage is at its maximum
40-65 gradually less damage
65+ you dont do any damage, the ammo just doesnt go farther
The trouble is, that becuase of the tracking and enemies speed, your guns might not hit anything bellow 50km and hit everytime at 60km. In that case, regardless of the optimal range, your best combat distance would be 60 km instead of 40km.
You will be doing less damage than at 40km, but at least you hit the tatget. The number one priority is to hit the target, needless to say, if you dont hit, the damage you WOULD have done is irrevelevant.
The quality of the "hit" is also affected by tracking so you might even do more quality shots, and more damage at 60km that at the "optimal" at 40km.
The reason people feel that projectile guns were "nerfed" when the devs increased the inportance of tracking in a patch a whila ago, is that projectiles guns are meant for long range and have low tracking. Tracking gets easyer the farther the target is away.
MicroWarpDrive inceases your signature radius 500times, making a mwd ship easyer to hit. This is a penalty the Devs put on mwd on purpose. While orbiting, the speed gained using mwd makes you harder to hit, but the increase in signature radius makes you easyer to hit so it evens out. Using a 10NM afterburner on a frig might therefore be better.
*Tracking mods increase your tracking by a % of what the guns currently have. Increasing a gun with low tracking still gives low tracking. So no matter how many tracking mods you use, a large gun might never have good enough tracking to kill a small ship.
*DoT: Damage ower time. Its not only the damage potential of your gun thats important. Hitting and the rate of fire are also very important. A small gun, with high tracking speed, high rate of fire but low damage per shot, might do more damage over time than a larger weapon. Might even be easyer on the cpu/grid/cap to. If you have to use a grid or a cpu enhancer in a low slot, you might try to fit a smaller guns and use the low slots for damage mods. In many instances this gives a much better damage over time.
Switching from 425mm to named 350mm on my Megathron made it useful again

Also keep in mind that your turret's Signature Resolution compared to your targets Signature Radius is an important factor. Large class guns have a hard time hitting smaller craft. Unless they're flying right at you or directly away, you'll have a hard time hitting frigates with cruiser and battleship sized guns.

You should be able to right click the weapon on the fitting screen to get the optimal and falloff with the current ammo loaded and your skills taken into account.
Weapon bonuses are, for the most part, only on your optimal range. Using your example, loading lead into your howitzer would give your an optimal of 12k, falloff remains at 4k, and your maximum range to do damage is 16k. Trajectory Analysis is the only skill that increases your falloff range.
The basics of gunnery go like this. Assuming both you and your target are stationary so tracking isn't a factor, you will always hit your target if they're within your optimal range. As you move into falloff, your chances to hit go down until you're at 50% at optimal + falloff. Beyond that, you've got a rare chance to score a hit. There is some randomness involved, so you can sometimes miss a target within your optimal and land a wrecking shot outside your maximum range.
Tracking is where things get messy. All weapons have a tracking speed and a signature resolution. Imagining your ship and your target are just points in space, if the change in angle between the two of you is faster than your gun's tracking speed, you have a lower chance to hit. Your tracking speed is also modified by the difference between your target's signature radius and your gun's signature resolution. If you are using a cruiser gun with a resolution of 120 against a frigate with a resolution of 40, your tracking speed is reduced to 30% (40/120 = 0.3). This makes hitting smaller, fast moving objects harder with bigger guns.
This is where projectiles get in trouble. At your optimal range, your target is moving fast enough that your guns simply can't track them. You end up missing more often than if you pull back and engage at a distance farther than your optimal. You can also orbit at a slower speed, or fly directly towards and away from your target, to minimize your own movement's effect on your tracking speed.

Quick Exit
just hit f11 to get the mini map up and set destination to any system, and then hit 'autopilot', if u need a quick exit. 'Assets' will lag the hell outta the game for 5-10 secs, easily enuf time for ya ship to go puff ... 'P+P' can lag u a bit too, specially if youve got loads of bms + buddies

Track down some 4/10 complexes. Downside is that you have to compete with other players, as the bad guys only respawn after a certain amount of time. But two Thoraxes will have plenty of things to shoot, and the final Overseer Battleship will give you a good challenge.
Depending on your skills, Level 3 missions can be a good challenge with two players. Best way I've found doing this is to have both players accept a mission, then tackle them back to back as a group. You should be able to finish both within the time bonus.

Post subject: Sansha npc tactics (rat hunting)
Eli Even
I used to use my punisher a lot to hunt sansha npc's in 0.1 systems - it's a great way to get named lasers etc that you can make use of. You can certainly get to the stage where you are comfortable in any empire system using only the punisher.
Personally an approach that (have to modify this slightly due to the recent missile/propulsion changes) uses a decent 1mn ab and armour tanks in the low slots (named small repairer, 1 x thermal 50% hardener) can close quickly enough and tank for long enough to get "under" any of the cruisers guns. Once you are at short range you can safely orbit at whatever optimal range your multispectral crystals give you and wear them down with little or no fear of being hit by the cruisers. Target the frigates first as they will still be able to hit you even when you are in a tight orbit.
NB: This approach is very much tailored to fighting Sanshas as they only do thermal and em damage and they have very few missile boats. Obviously I have only listed the key modules above but you can fill in the blanks depending on your skills and preferences, though I'd recommend dual light pulse lasers and cap chargers/relays to keep the repairer running. Also if you find that you aren't tanking the damage you take you can always employ a supplemental em resistance measure in one of the lows too - perhaps a passive measure depending on what you can fit. You may even have the luxury of fitting a heat sink to up your damage

Post subject: tracking and hitting stuff
Tracking is measured in radians per second. Do you know what a radian is? It is a measure of the arc of a circle.
Lets say hypothetically, that the tracking will allow you to hit something that is moving a relative 5 degrees (I use degrees and not radians because I think it is clearer) per second around your ship. If your target is 100m away from you, then that ship is moving faster then 5 degrees per second relative to you if it has a transverse above 8.75m/s. If that ship is 10k away from you, then it is moving faster then 5 degrees per second relative to you if it has a transverse above 875m/s. If a ship at 10k is moving 8.75m/s, then it is only moving .05 degrees relative to your ship. See how something that is closer is much harder to hit, since your weapon tracking is based on the arc of a circle?
See the point? That is why hitting ships that are closer to you is harder. It is completely independant of optimal range. Tracking is measured by an angle of a circle that the gun can track. It does not matter what the radius (optimal) of the circle is.

If you have the right ammo, for the right gun or launcher, when docked inside a station, simply call up the Fitting UI and drag and release the ammo, into the fitted gun or launcher.
When in space, one can set the gun/launcher to 'autoreload' causing the gun/launcher to reload once depleted of ammo. You can also do this by selecting the gun/launcher in the UI (inspace) and selected another type of ammo.
You will need to have ammo inside you cargo haul.
For laserturrets, one can fit other frequency cristals to increase damage output, range etc.
Doing this in space can come in handy, if you happen to have long range ammo and a rat or PC comes in close, you can simply reload close range ammo (be it crystals, missiles or ammo for guns). To see what range an ammo type has, rightclick it and select 'info' then view it properties (flight time, speed or range modifier). When ammo is fitted to a gun, the gun info will display the falloff range and optimal range. Using optimal range gives you best chance hitting a target with most damage at a few km's above optimal. Try this out to get the feeling.
Do mind that defender missiles is not an offensive weapon. They only target (automatic) other missiles.

Post subject: vague generalizations
Rod Blaine
Tbh, if you're gonna go and pick a Race by the looks of their ships....
You're much better off looking at your preferred playstyle and pciking based on that.
Those amarr ships you liek so much tend to be good at absorbing damage rather then deal alot of damage.
The Caldari ones you don't like tend to be special with their high Electronic Warfare abilities and missile-dependent fighting styles.
The Gallente are damage dealers and have some ships that operate well at short range especially. In short they tend to like in your face combat rather then tanking and electronic warfare.
The minmatar are best considered a hybrid between long range fighters, short range fighters and missile users. Makes them good at everything but master of nothing most of the time.
Now, if you'd just go with the ships you like best...
You might end up being screwed and flying the wrong race for you to have fun in.
But ofc, you can always switch or learn more, it's just that chosing the right race now, and sticking with it, is gonna save you alot of skilltraining to do later on.

On every ammo type in the game, there is a number for base shield damage, and a number for base armour damage per round. There are also numbers for how much of a specific damage type each round does. The two are clearly related, but i can't for the life of me fathom the maths of it. Anyone got any clues?
It was realy confusing to me a for few months actually.
Ok, the real numbers you want to pay attention to are the damage type specific ones. Those show you what kinds of damage / how much the ammo will do after you multiply it by the damage modifier of the gun turret (that number will be listed on the gun's info page near the top). That gives you a general idea on how different ammo and gun combinations will perform. Now, the actual damage delt to your target depends on whats going on when in battle (i.e. speed, tracking, target signature..) so expect to see very different results in the field.
The main point of all this is:
(ammo type damage) * (weapon damage mod) = (normalized damage)
[EDIT: Missile Launchers don't have a weapon damage mod]
The "Base Armor Damage" and "Base Shield Damage" that you see are wierd ones. They are actually the amount of damage YOU would take if hit by normalized damage with a weapon mod of 1x, also taking into account your current shield and armor resistances.
Oh, and don't forget your gun turrets' rate-of-fire will really affect the amount of damage you can put on your target over time.
Hope that helps you.

Optimal range is exactly what it says, the best range to hit a target. Accuracy Falloff is the range at which your chances of hitting drop. At Optimal + Falloff you have a 50% chance of hitting even a non-moving target which you aren't moving. At Optimal + 2x Falloff you have almost a 0% chance of hitting anything, though it is still possible.

re: Autocannons
Read the Turret Tracking Guide in the Player Guide, it's a great read. Put you autocannon stats in there, and check it against a 40m signature with a transversal equal to your top non-AB speed. That range is going to be the most damage output for your guns. If you're target is counter-orbitting or moving at all you will actually end up farther away than your default orbit range, but his increased speed pushes your optimal range farther back anyway, so it will still keep you pretty close to your best gun range.
If you don't need to avoid incoming fire badly, then use Keep At Range instead of orbit, and set the range to your Optimal Range. When you have very low tranversal velocity (sideways motion between you and target) like chasing someone or head-on, your guns will be very effective out to Optimal Range, and still pretty effective from Optimal + 1/2 Falloff. Anyway, the max range you should really fire your autocannons is Optimal + Falloff range; at this range, with no transversal velocity, you have a 50/50 chance to hit. It plummets from this range out to Optimal + (Falloff * 2).
Use afterburners to get into range, but turn them off once your there, to cut down your transversal. But if you get in trouble, pop those burners on and orbit your target at a range that lets you keep top speed. You are very hard to hit moving that fast, and it can buy you some time vs turrets that are tearing you up.

Derrick Rose signs with Minnesota, reunites with Thibodeau
For Derrick Rose, what's old is new again.
Rose has signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves, reuniting the 2011 NBA MVP with three mainstays from his days in Chicago: coach Tom Thibodeau and teammates Jimmy Butler and Taj Gibson. The Timberwolves did not release contract terms, but a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press the deal is for the remainder of the season.
Rose was in uniform for the Wolves on Thursday night against Boston, but he didn't get in the game.
"The only thing I'm missing now is the opportunity," Rose told reporters in Minnesota earlier in the day. "Talking to Thibs, he sounds like he's going to give me the opportunity, so it's all about learning the guys and fitting in at the right time."
Minnesota will be the fourth team Rose plays for and technically his fourth franchise in the last 11 months. Rose spent his first eight NBA years in Chicago, five of those with Thibodeau as his coach. He was with New York last season and started this season with Cleveland, but he appeared in only 16 games with the Cavaliers largely because of injuries.
"We just thought he could help the team. That's what our expectations are: come in, be a good teammate, try to help us win," Thibodeau said after the morning shootaround. "He's been around. He's been in a lot of games. I think he's seen a lot of different things. He's familiar with what we're doing. He's played with some of the guys we have. So that's a plus."
The Cavaliers traded the three-time All-Star to Utah last month as part of the massive restructuring of their team, and the Jazz waived him shortly afterward. Rose has been working out and evaluating his options since then, and he became a father again three days before completing the deal with the Timberwolves. They were willing to wait for his new daughter to arrive before asking him to make the move.
"I think I'm familiar with a lot of guys that's here," Rose said. "Just staying ready and coming here and trying to make it to the playoffs, and I feel like I can help in some way."
Miami guard Dwyane Wade, a teammate of Rose's earlier this season in Cleveland, said he expected Rose and Thibodeau would reunite. He insisted the 29-year-old guard still, when healthy, can play at an elite level.
"He was the best player in training camp," Wade said, noting that LeBron James was hurt for most of Cavs camp last fall. "It's always been about health with D-Rose."
Rose joined a Timberwolves team targeting its first postseason trip since 2004. They're in sixth place in a tight Western Conference race where four games separate the eight teams from third to 10th.
He said he isn't worried about his role and that he can fit in alongside fellow Wolves point guards Jeff Teague and Tyus Jones.
"I think I can play with anybody, to tell you the truth," Rose said. "I know the game. I'm not a selfish player. I'm not here for stats or anything like that. I just want to win and help this team and franchise win."
Rose averaged 9.8 points with the Cavaliers this season. For his career, Rose is averaging 19.2 points and 5.8 assists.
"I think it's going to be good for us, another guy who can create shots for others," Teague said after the 117-109 loss to the Celtics. "He's a dynamic player. We definitely need that."
Teague spoke eagerly about the possibility of playing next to Jones or Rose at times, considering the trend around the league of small lineups and multiple point guards on the floor. Another one of Minnesota's veteran guards, Jamal Crawford, extended the welcome, too.
"Anytime you can add a player like that," Crawford said, "you do it and then you figure out the rest."

First Full Trailer For 'Muppets Most Wanted'
For many, the Muppets were a thing of the past until the 2011 hit film that rejuvenated the franchise. And like any hit film, a sequel was certain to happen, and today we have our first full trailer for Muppets Most Wanted.
Since the events of the last film, the Muppets have gone on a world tour. While on the European portion of the tour, Kermit unwillingly switches places with Constantine, the world's greatest thief who looks exactly like Kermit except for a mole on his face. Now Kermit must contend with proving his identity while Constantine and his criminal partner Dominic, played by Ricky Gervais, are trying to maintain their cover within the Muppets as Kermit and the Muppets' new manager, respectively. The human cast includes Ty Burrell as Interpol Inspector Jean Pierre Napoleon and Tina Fey Russian GULAG officer Nadya.
I grew up watching the Muppets, and I loved the last film. It was a love letter to those of us with fond memories of Kermit and his group, so hearing that Jason Segal wasn't going to return as the writer or star was a little unnerving. It was his love for the Muppets that added to the charm of the film, but from this trailer it doesn't look like the Muppets haven't missed the mark too much. Like the last film, this one will be full of cameos. From the trailer alone we see Salma Hayek, WWE Superstar Hornswaggle, Celine Dion, Tom Hiddleston, Stanley Tucci, Zach Galifianakis, Christoph Waltz, Sean Combs, Ray Liotta, and Danny Trejo. From what I've seen this looks like it will be funny, but I'm still hesitant with them getting away from Jason Segal, the guy responsible for the great tone and feel of the first film.

text: Tuesday, June 14, 2011 Be a Part of History: Advocate for Your Profession "With the momentum of last week's rally, now is the perfect time for APTA members who could not attend PT Day on Capitol Hill to contact their members of Congress and urge them to support the 3 pieces of legislation that drew nearly 1,000 PTs, PTAs, and students to Washington, DC," says Justin Moore, PT, DPT, vice president of Government and Payment Advocacy. "It's imperative that all members reach out to their Senators and Representatives and ask them to support legislation to repeal the cap, expand the National Health Service Corps Repayment Program to include PTs, and protect student athletes from concussions." If you weren't on Capitol Hill Thursday, you can still be part of this historic event. Watch a video and read firsthand accounts from rally attendees at Moving Forward. Go to APTA's Legislative Action Center to contact your members of Congress today. Comments I am opposed to AB 783. I ahve worked under prestensious Medical corporations,urgent cares, and hospitals who take advantage of PT and PTA'S, wtih high work loads and demands minmizing quality of care. Even other private PT owned pracices I have worked ran the business the same un-ethical and greedy way. We also need to acknowledge also the Medicare, Medicaid and Private Ins and HMOS are also to blame for their actions in reducing the reimbursmants to Physcial Therapists who proved high quality care. Now days I see many of my collegues closing down their business because of these issues, POPTs/Chiro-PT owned/ CORFS/ Urgent Care and Hospitals/SNFS and Home Health agencies all compete and abuse the hard working and honets PT's. This is a really big problem for the safety of the consumers. State lacks proper regulation on Insurance practices and POPTs/Chiro-PT owned/ CORFS/ Urgent Care and Hospitals/SNFS and Home Health agencies. Agin I oppose Senate Bill AB783 !!!

Vintage & Antique Engagement Rings
An authentic antique engagement ring comes from a certain historical Era. These Eras are the inspiration for our company name, EraGem. Victorian Engagement Rings 1837-1900 were primarily crafted of yellow gold, the halo setting was popular, and the tradition of engagement/wedding rings became widespread. Edwardian Engagement Rings 1901-1910 featured floral patterns in ornate platinum filigree. Art Deco Engagement Rings 1915-1930's were hand crafted with mil-grain, symmetrical, geometric, and architectural designs, and often contained colored stone accents. Truly vintage engagement rings are from the 1980's or older, which includes all the earlier periods as well. The Retro Era circa 1940's saw yellow and rose gold rings make a comeback and white gold began to compete with platinum. In the 1950-1980's Mid Century period, heirloom engagement rings became a popular choice. Many rings from these years feature older antique family stones that were reset into current styles or ones handed down from previous generations. Our selection includes many pre-owned modern estate engagement rings as well. Enjoy viewing all our diamond engagement rings and let us know if you have any questions.

The 10 Largest Dump Trucks
The '08 Ford Super Duty F-450 6.4L is rated to haul a maximum payload of 6,120 pounds. Not bad for a street-legal rig that can supposedly fit into a shopping mall parking space, but imagine trucks that can haul more than 130 times that much weight in the bed, and you've got the Kings of Capacity. These massive "Off-Highway" mining dump trucks boast diesel engines that weigh as much as 25,000 pounds, have as many as 12 turbochargers, and make more than 10,000 lb-ft of torque. The trucks stand more than two stories tall, ride on 63-inch tires, and are stopped with the assistance of multiple-disc, oil-cooled brakes. Most of these trucks use hybrid diesel-electric drive systems to maximize efficiency and power delivery. To support payloads of up to 400 tons, these massive haulers have frame widths and depths that are measured in feet, not inches. The GVOW (gross vehicle operating weight) can exceed more than 650 tons. In fact, most of these dump trucks are so big that the parts have to be shipped to the job site so the trucks can be built on-site. Here are 10 of the highest-capacity trucks being sold today in their most powerful configurations.

The Top 20 Consistently Sexy Women of the Last Decade
For as long as there have been over one hundred sexy women on the planet, men have been giving them arbitrary rankings on an imaginary scale with no quantifiable explanation. In contemporary times, this impulse has led to the great minds of science and mathematics working together to give us Maxim's Hot 100, AskMen.com's Top 99 Women, and FHM's 100 Sexiest Women in the World. These yearly standings are a perfect synergy of the two things the Internet does best: scantily clad women and lists.

The Top 15 Greatest Lies All Women's Magazines Tell
Women's magazines have come under fire in recent years, and for good reason. It's taken a long time, and many hurt women, but these so-called publications are all getting called out more and more frequently for spewing loads of hot air — and often outright lies — to their readers. Spending no more than five minutes reading one of these rags can be enough to cause mild brain-damage, with the sheer amount of bad advice regurgitated month after month. We went through a few months' worth of all the worst offenders, and honestly the effect is probably worse than sniffing glue — but we've got results. These are the 15 absolute worst lies that all women's magazines tell — they've got millions of readers, so it may be a little scary.
12 of the Deadliest Unmanned Killing Machines in Our Arsenal
Artificial intelligence has not yet reached a level that allows for a truly autonomous robot, but we have come far in the last 50 years. Robots are in use today, performing duties from vacuuming our floors to building cars, to fighting our wars for us. Only a handful of these machines possess any degree of autonomy, and even fewer of those (thankfully) are armed. The United States military stables the greatest arsenal of armed robots in the world, and has several major companies spearheading the advanced robotics research and development industry, with the singular stated goal of creating a better war machine.

The Top 10 Acting Performances by Musicians
Musicians often get laughed at for having aspirations to act in film, and usually it's pretty easy to see why. After all, no one's basing acting classes around Britney Spears' performance in Crossroads or Mariah Carey's turn in Glitter, and even most of Elvis Presley's movies are best forgotten. Still, there have been a number of singers, rappers, and rock stars that successfully crossed over into the world of acting, often to huge critical and popular acclaim. The following are ten of the most famous examples.

The Top 10 Kick-Ass Native Americans
The first Thanksgiving probably consisted a handful of starving settlers dumbfounded that they were still alive and eating food previously thought to be inedible, like eel and corn. Thankfully, they had Native Americans like Squanto to show them what to eat to survive. They repaid Squanto and his people by enslaving, massacring and destroying their entire way of life. However, many great Native Americans refused to take it lying down. They fought back, proving themselves smarter and better warriors until the sheer number of Europeans and their diseases overwhelmed them.

The 6 Most Badass Skills You Can Learn in Under a Week
How many times have you watched an action movie and thought to yourself "Man, it must take years of training to be able to pull that off?" Real life police officers, soldiers, and spies have to undergo rigorous training before they get to pilot submarines and shoot people, right? As it turns out, that's... entirely true. Being a real-life James Bond would take a lifetime of learning and practice. But as it also turns out, there are classes you could take this year that could get you half-way to James Bondhood, many of them taking a week or less of your precious, movie-watching time.

|Under Federal Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) regulations, employees who have completed 12 months of employment with Marquette University and have worked at least 1,250 hours in the previous 12 months are eligible for up to 12 weeks of unpaid job-protected time off for qualifying maternity, paternity, adoption, or foster care placement reasons. Approval is subject to timely receipt of complete and sufficient medical documentation from a qualified healthcare provider.
If you are not eligible for job-protected Family Medical Leave (FML) under federal regulations, the State of Wisconsin has its own FML regulations. Under Wisconsin's FML regulations, an employee who has worked for Marquette more than 52 consecutive weeks and for at least 1000 hours during that 52-week period is entitled to up to six (6) weeks of unpaid job-protected leave in a calendar year for the birth or adoption of a child. Approval is subject to timely receipt of complete and sufficient medical documentation from a qualified healthcare provider.
Notice of Leave
|One month prior to due date or scheduled C-Section.
Intermittent and Part-time Requests
Leave cannot be taken intermittently or on a part-time basis. Any modifications to your work schedule must be approved by your department.
Paid options while on FMLA leave
Leave that is FMLA-qualifying protects your job and is unpaid. The university allows you to use available accrued time off to remain in a paid status during FML.
Staff - Hourly
Can use eligible sick, vacation, or floating holiday pay. If this time is not available, then the remainder of the leave is unpaid.
Staff - Monthly
Can use eligible short-term disability, which accrues one day per month. The remainder of the leave would be paid at 75% short-term disability. In addition, vacation or floating holiday pay can be used to substitute for 75% short-term disability.
Can use eligible short-term disability, which accrues one day per month. The remainder of the leave would be paid at 75% short-term disability.
Eligible time is calculated based on the day prior to the leave. Employees cannot use vacation or sick time accruing during their leave of absence.
More Information
Federal Family and Medical Leave Act
Leave cannot be taken intermittently. The university will provide an employee up to a total of 12 weeks of unpaid leave in any 12-month calendar period for the birth, adoption, or foster care placement of a child.
In the event of a need for a maternity/paternity leave for a Marquette faculty member, any part of which falls in the midst of an academic semester or session, the faculty member may invoke all leave rights under the university Family and Medical Leave policy, and nothing in this policy shall preclude any faculty members from taking full advantage of such rights. The university recognizes, however, the unique situation presented by the teaching role of faculty and the need of our students to have a positive and effective educational experience. To that end, the university affords the following options to full-time regular faculty with respect to their teaching role as related to maternity/paternity leaves:
In the context of collegial leave management, the dean and the faculty member requesting leave should work together to minimize the impact of the leave and any alternative duty arrangements on students and to minimize the need for replacement costs. All such costs shall be handled by the college.
Upon completing and submitting to the Office of the Provost the Parental Extension
Form, a tenure track faculty member who becomes the parent of a child (either by birth or adoption), shall be eligible for an automatic one-year extension of the time period for conferral of tenure. This automatic extension, however, may be waived if the faculty member so desires and so indicates by selecting the appropriate block on the Parental Extension form.
No more than two extension requests will be granted, however, the second extension request (for the birth or adoption of a subsequent child) must be submitted in writing to the Office of the Provost. Such request will not be automatically granted but rather is subject to approval of the Provost.
The Parental Extension Form for the automatic extension of the time period for conferral of tenure may be downloaded from the Provost web page and must be filed with the Office of the Provost no later than the beginning of the academic year following the date of the birth/adoption. No request may be made after June 15 preceding the time-bound year.

Ben.lowndes needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
2 winners were selected from 37 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
1) Optimal Layout 2) Windowflow
I'm an independent developer producing super useful Mac software, selling a small suite of apps on my website and Apple's new Mac App Store.
I'm looking for TWO ICONS TO BE REDRAWN and refined (not redesigned from initial concept, simply enhancing what is already there by a professional designer (instead of myself!). Please read more below.
1) Windowflow
This app is simply described as a window switcher. It provides a preview of your windows without having to switch to them.
1) Optimal Layout includes Windowflow features plus a whole lot more to help you get the most out of your screen space.
NOTE: Both icons are similar, not completely different styles.
At large my target audience is the savvy Mac user who knows intelligent design and seeks out utilities applications to get the most out of their work flow.
Since it's launch last year OL has gone through a lot of changes including it's name, icon, UI and functionality which is why I'm limiting the scope to just refining what's already in place. Hopefully this makes it simpler for you too.
1) Taking the current Optimal Layout icon, redraw/redesign to a professional standard.
2) Taking the current Windowflow icon, redraw/redesign to a professional standard.
3) The menubar icons:
These need to be updated to reflect the app icon design and have a professional finish.
They need to blend in well to the Mac icon menubar and not stand out too much.
This icon should be 17x17 pixels.
4) I'd like the source files for the design, e.g. Illustrator or Photoshop files as well as png exports.
5) The new icon needs to fit in with the best icons on the Mac App Store. If you are running a Mac with the latest OS X update (version 10.6.6) you can view the app store from the Apple Menu. My apps are in utilities category.
6) The app icons should be designed at at least 512x512 pixels, but will typically be viewed much smaller.
I feel the designs need:
* Depth: the icon could have a slight 3-D perspective with an embossed look.
* TEXTURE/COLOUR: better use of textures or base colors to replace the blue and grey.
