These days there is no limit to what food can become, to the heights (and breadth) that food can reach. You have food that looks like one thing, and tastes like another. You taste old flavors in new forms, and new flavors in old forms. Junk food becomes haute cuisine and the other way around. Instead of stews or braises, you have foam and pearls and flavored air. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against flavored air. It must surely be a step above the air I get outside my window that wafts up fragrantly from the city street below. I definitely applaud chefs that push the culinary envelope, reinventing the way we experience taste and flavor. It's a whole new world out there, an exciting time to be alive and eating, and I for one, am all for rushing headlong into its newness, its mystique, and the discovery of new gastronomic frontiers.
But sometimes…sometimes. Sometimes, you need food that is like a warm blanket on a chilly night, food that is like a salve on a sore spot, the type of food that makes you feel better when a stupid boy breaks your heart or when the world seems full of thin girls. Forget the apples; comfort me with spaghetti and meatballs.
This is a dish we've made in my mother's house countless times, and I now make in my own home. The recipe for the meatballs is what we have used since time forgotten for burgers, meatballs, even meatloaf. It is a half-breed mince-mix full of extenders…beef-purists look away! But I find that no other meat patty is as tender or as tasty. Of course, you may substitute your own favorite mince mixture.
Spaghetti with Meatballs
For the meatballs
For the Sauce
For the Noodles
– First make the meatballs. Soak the oats in the milk until soft. Then add garlic, onion, egg, mustard, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Add the ground meats to this and knead until just combined (don't over mix!). Roll into balls of your desired size.
– Heat some oil in a pan. Fry meatballs until nicely browned, then remove from pan and set aside.
– In the same pan add a little more olive oil. Sauté garlic and onions until onions are soft and translucent. If your herbs are dried add them now (no measurements here, I just do it by feel. It all depends on how "herby" you want your sauce).
– As soon as the aroma of the herbs hits your nose, pour in wine and stir.
– Add chopped tomatoes. If your herbs are fresh add them now. Add salt and pepper to taste.
– Return meatballs to pan and simmer until sauce reduces slightly.
– Adjust seasoning if needed.
– Pour the whole lot over your prepared noodles and serve.
– Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese and dried chili flakes for spice.
This is perfect in a deep bowl and taken with you into the depths of your sofa on a stormy night when the world just won't see things your way. It's also great in large quantities, piled high on huge platters for big and boisterous family lunches when everyone is laughing and giddy. It is also particularly delicious when you're curled up in your rattiest pyjamas with a really scary suspense novel.
Whichever way, when I feel like life's lights are whizzing by a little too quickly, and I get the urge to "sit this one out", you'll find me hidden in some quiet spot, wearing my "comfy clothes", with a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs.
This is my entry to Presto Pasta Nights, a great new event brought to you by Ruth of Once Upon a Feast. She does a weekly roundup every Friday so we can all have delicious new pasta dishes in time for the weekend. Thanks Ruth!

Squirrels at Feeders 1
From my newest Youtube channel

A blog dedicated to teaching positive information, feeding, researching, and caring for all kinds of squirrels everywhere, especially in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
I will post a blog whenever I think of a squirrel awareness tip, to talk about my pet squirrels, or when I go "squirrel hiking". The latter is hiking with the intent of watching squirrels.
The main reason why I like squirrels so much is because they are fascinating creatures. There were events in my life that triggered my interest. First, I had a general interest in rodents at age 12, but I narrowed it down to just the squirrel family in my late teens. The squirrel interest may have started with a tame female gray squirrel that a friend of mine and his mom allowed into their house. This squirrel lived outside, but would she come indoors for treats. After this I wanted to know all there is about squirrels. So I've read about the 270+ species of squirrels from all around the world, and I was hooked! I've also hand-fed and petted wild squirrels on college campuses (not recommended; don't just pet ANY wild squirrel.)

Originally IPMI was intended as a low speed, serial line management control. To avoid having an additional connector, it evolved to multiplex on an existing serial port connector.

The main CPU is looking at the text console memory, and converting that to serial port output. The BMC is then forwarding the serial port output.

There are several other similar programs.

Several years ago, at one of our Fluid Power Conference & Expos here in Cleveland, I had the pleasure of meeting Rory McLaren, of the Fluid Power Training Institute. He exhibited at our event and afterwards, he joined us for dinner.
I have never met anyone as passionate as Rory when it comes to training and safety in fluid power system design, maintenance, and troubleshooting. His stories of mishaps, injuries, and even death that can come from not following proper protocol were often shocking and most importantly, eye-opening. He is perhaps one of the most vocal advocates of proper training for individuals who uses fluid power, so I was happy to post a six-part series of articles that Rory wrote for H&P back in 2001-02 about fluid power safety in the workplace. I know that these articles are critical to saving lives and come from someone who really knows what he's talking about.
We'll be promoting these articles on our home page in the coming weeks, but I invite you all to read them now — they are a series but don't need to be read in order.
Read on, learn something new, and most importantly, stay safe!

SEO Local Geo-centric Program
SEO Local Geo is a 6-month minimum search engine optimization (SEO) program specifically for small businesses with a clientele that exists within the region matching their physical location. "Las Vegas Hotels" is not designed for people already living in Las Vegas, while "Your City Dentists" is looking for a local office. The Entry Program created by Bruce Clay, Inc., a recognized, experienced and trusted provider of SEO services, enables small businesses to quickly earn search engine result rankings for their web sites.
We will provide up to four hours of Services per month to:
- Keyword Research and Analysis - we will research, analyze, and recommend a list of targeted keyword phrases to be used in the promotion of the web pages. You shall select final targeted keywords from this list. These Keywords shall be based upon permutations and combinations of six (6) generic words or phrases always in combination with the company name, up to four city or metropolitan area names, and your name if branded and appropriate, for a total of up to thirty-six unique keyword phrases.
- Research, Analysis and Page Editing - we will perform comprehensive edits for the home page plus up to thirty-six additional sub-pages as appropriate distributed over the first four months of the project. In most instances the initial edit begins in month 1 of the project and may take a while to conclude. Since search engine optimization is an iterative process, we may need to periodically re-edit these pages. These re-edits will often involve adding visible content to various pages consistent with the current design.
- Search Engine Submission - we will utilize Google Webmaster Tools to validate site spidering and optimized page inclusion in the search index. Search Engine friendly XML Sitemaps will be used.
- Search Engine Ranking Monitoring - Throughout this project we will monitor the ranking of the domain and specified web pages for the keywords. Via the SEOToolSet®, we will provide online access to proprietary Ranking Reports (Domain Ranking Report, Ranking Report by Page Name, and Ranking Report by Keyword) at least monthly showing the ranking of the Client web site in the monitored Search Engines and directories. Rankings will show where the top ranked page from the Client site(s) appear in the top 30 positions for the selected search engines for the Keywords.
- Links will be reviewed, both internal and external, to determine weaknesses, and where appropriate a link strategy will be implemented to obtain incremental inbound links and to structure internal links. The LinkMapsT product will be used to facilitate the spidering of inbound links.
Fees are $995 per month.

Case Studies
LULA Case Studies
Through the Land Use Leadership Alliance (LULA) program, the Land Use Law Center has trained thousands of local leaders. With new tools in hand, graduates of the LULA program return to their communities recommitted to making a difference.
LULA Case Studies shine a spotlight on best practices for sustainable development and community decision-making. These case studies are selected and published not only because the Center is proud of the achievements of its LULA graduates, but also so they may serve as examples for other communities. The case studies presented here demonstrate the innovative tools and techniques that can be used effectively to overcome land use conflicts and to build community strength and collaboration.
Red Hook's Intermunicipal Task Force: Creating Centers & Greenspaces
Located in Dutchess County, New York, Red Hook is a rural community that is comprised of three municipalities: the Town of Red Hook, the Village of Red Hook, and the Village of Tivoli. In 2004, land use leaders from each of these municipalities attended the LULA training program in an effort to enhance their abilities to work together in order to achieve the strategic land use goals of their community. After their graduation from the LULA program in 2004, these land use leaders established an Intermunicipal Task Force in order to implement the innovative planning techniques taught at LULA training. By using the LULA program's collaborative decision making techniques and smart growth strategies, the Task Force has created a Centers and Greenspaces Plan, which is designed "to protect the rural character [of the township], reinforce traditional village centers, and promote economic development."

Clarkstown's Innovative Comprehensive Plan: A Land Use Case Study
The Town of Clarkstown in Rockland County, New York has taken an innovative approach towards the wholesale revision of its Comprehensive Plan. According to Jose Simoes, Clarkstown's Town Planner, "after the 1999 updating of the town's 1966 Comprehensive Plan, we realized that it was time to start over" and create a Comprehensive Plan that was better equipped to help the community achieve its long term planning needs. With the help of the LULA training program, Clarkstown's land use planners have been able to achieve this goal by developing a unique comprehensive plan that should be celebrated for realizing the benefits of an efficient, environmentally sound design, maximizing the use of town-wide resources, and embracing the value of a grassroots approach in their use of collaborative decision making techniques.

The Saw Mill River Coalition: The Unifying Force Behind Efforts to Restore the Environmental Health of the Saw Mill River
Since 1999, the non-profit organization Groundwork Yonkers has been working towards improving the environmental health of Yonkers, New York's fourth largest city. One of the organization's highlighted achievements is the creation of the Saw Mill River Coalition (Coalition) in 2001. Created with the help of the Land Use Law Center (Center) and funded by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), the Coalition is dedicated to restoring the health of the Saw Mill River's ecosystem. Utilizing consensus-building techniques and land use development tools learned through the Center's Land Use Leadership Alliance (LULA) training program, Coalition leaders have been able to garnish broad support for resource conservation and remediation efforts needed to restore the health of the Saw Mill River. Based on past successes, and in light of current and future initiatives, the Center is excited about the specter of progress that the Coalition is poised to achieve. Read more...

2. Do you fail to recognize your accomplishments?
3. Do you fear criticism?
4. Do you overextend yourself?
5. Have you had problems with your own compulsive behavior?
6. Do you have a need for perfection?
7. Are you uneasy when your life is going smoothly, continually anticipating problems?
8. Do you feel more alive in the midst of a crisis?
9. Do you still feel responsible for others, as you did for the problem drinker in your life?
10. Do you care for others easily, yet find it difficult to care for yourself?
11. Do you isolate yourself from other people?
12. Do you respond with fear to authority figures and angry people?
13. Do you feel that individuals and society in general are taking advantage of you?
14. Do you have trouble with intimate relationships?
15. Do you confuse pity with love, as you did with the problem drinker?
16. Do you attract and/or seek people who tend to be compulsive and/or abusive?
17. Do you cling to relationships because you are afraid of being alone?
18. Do you often mistrust your own feelings and the feelings expressed by others?
19. Do you find it difficult to identify and express your emotions?
20. Do you think someone's drinking may have affected you?

Bw2142 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 115 designs submitted by 24 freelance designers.
ScalePoint Procurement Group
ScalePoint is a new procurement group focused on corporate expense reduction. We work with private equity firms and other company owners, CFOs, etc. to create preferred pricing/service programs with national vendors.
The key is aggregating the expense spending of many companies (creating scale...ScalePoint) to have pricing leverage with vendors.
We work with large companies and find it important to be and seem professional.
Our customers are both (i) middle market corporations ($50mm+ sales) and (ii) national, Fortune 500 vendors. We partner with the vendors to create preferred programs based upon us bringing them meaningful volume of sales for categories like office supplies and overnight shipping. Corporations like the volume discounts that they couldn't otherwise enjoy on their own from reputable, national vendors.
Given the target audience, we want to appear professional. Clean and simple that can be used on business cards, presentations, etc.
The logo can be stand alone or incorporate the company name.
It's not a must, but it would be appealing if the logo could play off the ScalePoint concept of many is greater than one. Many companies joining together creates scale. And scale creates influence with vendors.
We are open to creative ideas.

(CNN) -- Having competed under the Renault name in 2011, the rebranded Lotus team enter the new season hoping to avoid the off-track issues which blighted their preparations for the last campaign.
In February 2011, Polish driver Robert Kubica suffered serious arm injuries in a rally crash and missed the whole season after undergoing surgery.
Kubica announced in November that the start of the new season would also come too soon for him, meaning Lotus had to announce an all-new driver line-up for 2012 of former Ferrari star Kimi Raikkonen and France's Roman Grosjean.
Former world champions Renault finished the last two seasons fifth in the constructors' standings, and the Britain-based team -- still powered by the French engine manufacturer -- will want to improve this year after a less turbulent preseason.
Kimi Raikkonen
The 2007 world champion is making his return to Formula One after a two-season absence, during which he competed in the World Rally Championship and the U.S. open-wheel NASCAR series.
The Finn has racked up 18 grand prix wins during a nine-season F1 career which has included stints with Sauber, McLaren and, most recently, three years with Ferrari.
The 32-year-old has undoubted pedigree, but it remains to be seen whether he can rediscover the skill which made him the best driver on the grid five years ago.
Raikkonen insists he still has the hunger to succeed, a claim which has been backed up by some impressive performances in preseason testing.
Romain Grosjean
The Frenchman returns to the team he has raced for on seven previous occasions, having made his F1 debut for Renault at the 2009 European Grand Prix.
The 25-year-old spent last year as a Renault test driver and took part in Friday practice at the Brazilian and Abu Dhabi races. Grosjean's best result so far is a 13th-placed finish at the 2009 Brazilian Grand Prix.
As a former GP2 champion, the Switzerland-born racer will seeking to prove he can cut it in the elite division of motorsport.
Australia: Raikkonen 7th, Grosjean DNF
Malaysia: Raikkonen 5th, Grosjean DNF
China: Grosjean 6th, Raikkonen 14th
Bahrain: Raikkonen 2nd, Grosjean 3rd
Spain: Raikkonen 3rd, Grosjean 4th
Monaco: Raikkonen 9th, Grosjean DNF
Canada: Grosjean 2nd, Raikonnen 8th
Europe: Raikkonen 2nd, Grosjean DNF
Britain: Raikkonen 5th, Grosjean 6th
Germany: Raikkonen 3rd, Grosjean 18th
Hungary: Raikkonen 2nd, Grosjean 3rd
Belgium: Raikkonen 3rd, Grosjean DNF
Italy: Raikkonen 5th, Grosjean DNS
Singapore: Raikkonen 6th, Grosjean 7th
Japan: Raikkonen 6th, Grosjean 19th
Korea: Raikkonen 5th, Grosjean 7th
India: Raikkonen 7th, Grosjean 9th
Abu Dhabi: Raikkonen 1st, Grosjean DNF
Brazil: Raikkonen 10th, Grosjean DNF

You are correct IF their compiler is aware of the cluster runtime enviroment then the price should reflect that. Are they providing their own MPI or PVM? Are they providing a version of HPF? No. So compiling for a single CPU is no different than for a 1024 cpu MPI process. Scaling is an issue of the developer not the compiler engineer. Portland Group doesn't put a restriction how you use their Fortran compiler. They do put a restriction on their cluster tools. Those you have to license by CPU. If you want to use their HPF then you need to purchase a license for the number of CPUs you want to use. That makes sense for the effort they put into their compiler. Portland Group does not charge me if I want to link my source against a free version of MPI and run on multiple cpus. I am not against Lahey's licensing policy. They can do whatever they want its their product. When I talked to one of their reps at SC2001 and told them that no one else licenses their compiler this way they didn't believe me. I just don't see how they can be competitive when other vendors that provide an equivelent (or superior) product for less cost on cluster.

text: Pontoosuc Woolen Manufacturing Company produced blankets, carriage robes, cassimeres and flannels in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, from 1825 until it was taken over by another company in 1924. A continuous series of employee accounts from 1887 to 1924 indicates that at least half of the factory workers were women. The account books (identified variously as time books and payrolls in the finding aid) include name, time and production records, wages, and deductions for rent and board. The earliest volumes in the series do not include job titles, but later volumes give precise pictures of who did what in each room of the factory. For instance, Volume 45 states that in March, 1921, the overseer, weavers, dressers, and yarn carrier in the designing room were all men, but all the drawers-in were women.

Description of the activity/assignment
They simulate a half-life by shaking the M & M's and dropping them onto a sheet of paper. Roughly half of them will fall with the blank side up, just as half of the radioactive atoms decay into another element during a half-life. The students will remove the blank M & M's, graph the number of undecayed ones, and shake those, simulating another half-life. The students will pool their data, examine the effect of sample size, and assess how many half-lives it takes to run out of countable undecayed atoms. This model explains why real radiometric dating labs require minimal starting sample sizes and cannot give dates beyond a certain range (>40,000 yrs) for radiocarbon.

Martha Monroe m. Peter Crews 1824
I haven't looked at these Wayne Co., IL surnames for a while so it's like discovering a whole new set of cousins with names like Pharr, Sams, Fishel and more. But there are also familiar names from the Barren Co., Kentucky area like Martin, Shaw, Bradshaw, Young, Shelton and Owen.
I hope while I do this research I will make contact with a cousin or two in this line to join us in our research.

Peter Crews and Martha Monroe were the parents of my great great grandfathers second wife. Nancy Crews who married Nathaniel Travers they were the parents of two children Mary and John Travers who you will find in the 1860 census with their Crews grandparents. Nathaniel Travers and his two wifes are buried in the Travers Cemetery.

Judith, thank you for your comment. As Wayne Co. is a "burned" county I didn't know what happened to Nancy or who she married. I saw Mary and John Travers/Travis in the 1860 census and assumed they might be her children but had no proof. I'd love to chat with you about Wayne Co., IL families. I'm related to more than just Peter and Martha's descendants. Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to share.

Last night I was a guest on Political Pistachio, an internet radio show hosted by my friend Douglas V. Gibbs. I basically blabbed for 90 minutes about publishing---the standard 90 minutes that I regurgitate during most of my speeches for newbie writers. You've heard me preach about this stuff before.
If you're still interested, you can listen to the show by following the link below. There are some tech probs in the beginning, so fast forward a few minutes.
When it was over, I was surprised how easy it was to do. It was so simple, it forced me to seriously consider jumping into the podcasting arena. With minimal effort, I could create audio segments to supplement this blog.
BlogTalkRadio.com allows a person to host a radio show, complete with guests and listeners calling in, all for free. It then archives the show, and creates an RSS feed so blog readers and iTunes users can subscribe and download it.
Naturally, my radio show would be the audio conterpart to A Newbie's Guide to Publishing, and it would involve me interviewing many of my writing peers to get their views on marketing, self-promotion, etc.
But before I jump into the arena, I'd like feedback. Tell me:
1. Would you be interested in my gabbing for an hour about this business on a twice-a-month basis, assuming I had cool professional guests with interesting things to say?
2. Who are some guests you'd like to hear?
3. How would you listen to this podcast? Would you be more likely to tune in live on your computer at BlogTalkRadio.com, or follow the link to the achived show at your convenience, or actually use the RSS feed and hook up your iPod for listening at your convenience?
I've been wanting to try out podcasting for a while, but didn't want to bother learning the technology. Now that the technology exists, I think this could be an interesting way to broaden my audience while also providing a service to new writers and to the authors I'd be interviewing.
Lots of writers blog. Not many of them podcast. Now that we all have our websites and blogs and MySpace pages, maybe this is the next big thing.
Your thoughts?

The Bean Validation API (JSR0303) can be hooked up with JDO (DataNucleus extension) so that you have validation of an objects values prior to persistence, update and deletion. To do this
To give a simple example of what you can do with the Bean Validation API
@PersistenceCapable public class Person { @PrimaryKey @NotNull private Long id; @NotNull @Size(min = 3, max = 80) private String name; ... }
So we are validating that instances of the Person class will have an "id" that is not null and that the "name" field is not null and between 3 and 80 characters. If it doesn't validate then at persist/update an exception will be thrown.
A further use of the Bean Validation annotations @Size(max=...) and @NotNull is that if you specify these then you have no need to specify the equivalent JDO "length" and "allowsNull" attributes since they equate to the same thing.

We're guessing Paloma, daughter of the creators of design and heirloom keepsakes company Paloma's Nest (check out their beautiful ornaments), has some stylish seats to put her tush on, and now your kids can too. The company's Neighborhood line of chairs, available in three different styles, add instant eco-style to a playroom or family room and will give kids a subtle lesson in architecture and design. Bonus: they double as dollhouses!
The craftsmanship behind these kids' chairs is anything but child's play: they are made entirely by hand from non-toxic birch plywood and finished with a non-toxic natural varnish. And it's clear that designers Caroline and Jose are parents: instead of using screws and nails, the chairs fit together with wooden biscuits and hidden joints, meaning safe seating for little ones.
The Colonial House Chair by Paloma's Nest includes classic Americana style with square windows, a slanted roof, and class chimney. The Modern features an edgier, more minimalist silhouette with three small cut-out windows, but still maintains a comfortable shape for kids to sit in. The Victorian includes romantic, dollhouse-reminiscent details such as arching cut out windows and doors and a turreted roof. Whether you stick to one style or create a neighborhood with mismatched chairs, kids will love these chairs that double as houses for their toys and dolls.
+ The Colonial House Chair $228.00
+ The Modern House Chair $228.00
+ The Victorian House Chair $228.00

Great Improvement of previous generations
By Geo on Monday, March 04, 2019New Altima is knock out in design. Modern and attractive exterior and interior. Appreciate the simple dash layout and controls on steering wheel. Yes there is a bit of plastic but doesn't look cheap and what do you expect at this price point. Pro-Pilot is amazing and don't see how anyone buys car with out this type of safety feature. Performance is good and one of the fastest 0-60 times of all the base engine cars (7.6). Ride is comfortable most of the time but suspension doesn't like pothole filled roads, but neither do I. Can wheel and deal on price better than you can on Honda Accord, Camry or Mazda 6. All which I drove and did not find any reason to buy over Altima.

Many shortcomings insight
By Magician on Saturday, December 01, 2018This 2019 Altima 2.5 SL drives nicely and soft on 17 inch wheels. 2.5L engine has a sufficient power. CVT transmission works fine. Though, in my opinion, it substantially lacks driving dynamics and pleasure of the automatic transmission with gears. Steering is precise and on-center. Brakes work very well. Navigation system is simple, but intuitive and entry commands are easy. Bose audio system sounds OK for this vehicle segment, but nothing extraordinary. Trunk space is adequate. Rear seats are comfortable and visibility is good. Heated steering wheel is an incredible feature. Once you try it, you will never want to get the car without it. These are the good things about this vehicle and now are the shortcomings. Front passenger seat is awfully uncomfortable. The seat cushion does not go up nor down, nor does it recline. It feels like you are sitting flat on the floor. There is no lumbar support. Long drives are very uncomfortable and unpleasant. Please remember this is one of the top trims of this vehicle. There is no ventilation for front seats and rear seats are not heated. Interior is very dim at night time as there are no LED interior lights and regular bulbs with foggy lenses do not provide a good illumination. The buttons for the lights feel cheap and loose. Tail lights are not LED neither and their illumination is dim and out of date. Headlights are LEDs, but their range is short and visibility is marginal. Ford Fusion, Honda Accord and Mazda 6 offers all the above mentioned features for about the same price. The infotainment screen is not tilted towards the driver and it is hard to see sometimes with sun glare. Also it is destructive to reach to the screen every time you need to change anything as there is no separate controller knob like in Mazda. Climate control for some reason does not maintain the set temperature. The interior materials look and feel cheap, especially on the door panels. Front doors rattle when you close them and dashboard speaker covers are misaligned. The sunroof size is very small. In my opinion, there are many shortcomings and cost saving signs. They are very visible, not attractive nor they are comfortable.

Amazing Piece of Tech on Wheels
By Jerber5000 on Monday, October 22, 2018Nissan has nailed it and finally came up with a design that millenials and new comers alike would love! This vehicle is beautifully crafted and it very appealing on and off road. Fast, sleek, and sexy!

07/06/2009 Sell on eBay [Web Stuff]Sell on eBay is an example database that goes with a tutorial in our support section. You can create this database from scratch by following along with the article here:
The database is designed for iPhone users of HanDBase in particular due to it's use of an external field type unique to the iPhone- taking a picture with the camera.
This database can be used to track items you are selling or plan to sell on eBay. Many more fields can be added to track auctions, customer information, etc.
05/30/2011 EZ Shop [Food and Drink]This database is included as a sample with many versions of HanDBase. It is a simple shopping list database.
02/24/2012 Month Calculator [Development]This database was designed to demonstrate a way to figure out the month of a date field. The concept uses this idea:
Take the date and do the following calculation: Date Mod 365.25 That will give you the number of days into the year. 365 days are in a year, but every fourth year is a leap year, so the .25 is added.
Now you have a number from 0 to 365. To get the month, you'd have to do a series of conditionals. Something like this:
If DateMod field (the calc field above) is greater than 31 then output is February, else January.
If DateMod field is greater than 59 then output is March, else output is previous conditional.
If DateMod field is greater than 90 then output is April, else output is previous conditional.
The example has a date field where you can pick a date and then a conditional field that is visible showing the month of the year. A few caveats:
1. It uses up a bunch of hidden calculation and conditional fields. You'll need about 13 extra fields in your database to have room for this.
2. If you are in a leap year (such as now, 2012) the number in the conditional for February onward need to go up by one, as I did not account for the leap day in 2012. On other years, this should work fine as is.
3. September is one character too long for the conditional output, so I abbreviated as Sept
You can then select a view to filter based on the month, so you can see all records that fall within the month you're looking at.
07/27/2012 Olympic Records [Sports]This database was scraped from info on Wikipedia about the Olympic Records for various Summer Olympic games. It was taken from information right before the start of the 2012 Summer Games in London.
05/02/2013 Using Relationships Via Linked Fields [Development]This database set is an example of how to bring over multiple fields from a parent table/database to a child using the relationship field.
It's a set of databases called Actors and Movies. The main database is actors and there is a first name and last name for each actor. There is a link field to jump to the movies database to show all movies for that actor. The link/linked pair is set up to show the last name from the Actors databases in the Movies database. Normally this is enough to identify the parent record but in this case, the first name should also be shown in case there are two people with the same last name.
So then there is a relationship field set up that uses the link/linked as a pair of matching values to grab the first name and show it. You'll see in the setup that the relationship is set to use the:
Related Field in this database: Last Name (the linked field)
Other Database Name: Actors
Field in other database: Movies (the link field of the parent database)
Show from other database: First Name (the field we wanted to show here)
From Which Record: First matching record. (if the parent database had more than a single match, this setting would let you choose whether to take from the first or last matching record. In this case, there should only be one match since it's a one to many relationship and the 'many' (the movies db) is looking in the 'one' (the actors db) for a match.
Thus, in the Movies database, you see both the first name (via the relationship) and the last name (via the Linked field type) for the parent record.
02/07/2017 Unique Key Example [Automobiles]This is a simple database designed to show you how to create a unique key field in HanDBase. One that can be seen and displayed in the database. This involves using the following:
Link field- set to hidden and does not need to be set up to point to any other database.
Conditional field- this is your unique Key and the formula is this: If Link field is zero, output is Link field, otherwise, output is Link field.
As you can tell, the Conditional field will always evaluate to be the value of the link field, which is already a unique key, but normally one that is hidden.

DAR.fm Receives Cease & Desist For Letting People Record Radio Online
from the how-dare-they deptEarlier this year, we wrote about Michael Robertson's latest project, DAR.fm, noting that he was tempting copyright lawsuit fate again. DAR.fm is basically an online DVR for radio. It lets you record and listen to all sorts of online radio programming. As we noted at the time, it seemed inevitable that someone would challenge the legality of this -- but it seemed like the Second Circuit's ruling in the Cablevision online DVR case at least presented him with a case that supported his general view that such time shifting of radio, even if done remotely, is legal.
Either way, it appears he's received his first cease & desist, which comes from Univision and is embedded below. Robertson is making his case against Univision publicly, first pointing out that it seems to be reacting the same way the TV industry did to TiVo and ReplayTV:
Ten years ago, ReplayTV and TiVo burst onto the scene introducing the digital video recorder (DVR) to the world. Immediately some predicted the end of the TV business because people could fast-forward through commercials. Lawsuits put ReplayTV out of business (in spite of superior technology). Eventually cooler heads prevailed and the technology thrived to the point where nearly half of American households have a DVR. Consumers could, for the first time, enjoy their favorite programming at a time convenient for them. Thanks in large part to the DVR, TV viewing is up 40% over the last decade which is especially notable given that competition for consumer attention has stiffened due to internet browsing, Skype, video games, and social networking.He goes on to make the case that such time shifting is quite common and legal. In fact, he points out that Univision is more known for its TV stations, and are they really arguing that a DVR is legal for video, but a DAR is not for audio?
You would think that with this backdrop radio companies would welcome DVR technology into their own industry and many probably will but at least one doesn't - Univision.
While recording broadcasted material may be new to radio, it's not new to society and surely Univision must know that. Nearly 50% of US households have a DVR today. Univision's TV business dwarfs its radio business. It's likely that millions of people are making recordings of Univision TV shows as I write this. And some may be blinking their eyes or listening from another room transforming these video recordings into audio recordings. Similarly, internet users can capture online articles for later viewing using popular services like Readitlater and Instapaper and some may be doing that from the Univision.com website. If it's legal in those channels it only makes sense that the same functionality is legal for radio.It will come as little surprise that I think DAR.fm should be legal, but the courts can be funny about this kind of thing. Even though, functionally, it may seem identical to a DVR, having it actually go to court is a crapshoot. Still, if Univision is smart, it'll back down on this. Making their stations and programs more difficult to listen to hardly seems like a compelling business strategy.
In their demand letter Univision says that no court has addressed the legality of "precisely" the kind of service offered by DAR.fm. Well of course not the PRECISE service, but darn close. The case is called Cartoon Network v Cablevision. Cablevision wanted to offer a remote DVR service and media companies sued them alleging copyright infringement. (You can read assessment of this critically important case here.) Courts eventually ruled that a centralized recording service did not require a license from media companies and was not a copyright infringement. Cablevision now commercially offers this service under the name DVR Plus. Other companies have begun offering online recording services.

Velvet Sky On Transition To Singles Wrestler, Knockouts Division, Dream Opponent
April 24, 2012 · 0 Comments
|Apr 23, 2012 – 4:51:30 PM
Promoting TNA Wrestling's live event at the War Memorial Auditorium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Velvet Sky addressed a number of topics in an lengthy interview with The Miami Herald including her transition to a singles competitor, the state of the Knockouts division, becoming the Women's Knockout Champion last year, her dream opponent and more. Highlights are as follows:
Branching out as a singles wrestler after being attached to Angelina Love: "For a while it was me and Angelina [Love in The Beautiful People]. I was never able to shine really and do anything on my own because she was always in the spotlight.
"Since then, they've broken up the Beautiful People, which I'm sad about because I wish they were still going forward with that. We had a lot of fun, her and I together, but I just feel like they broke us up, and I was able to be on my own as a singles competitor.
"I just feel I have grown in the sense of you don't have someone to have your back all the time. You don't have the option to tag out and recuperate. I feel, more or less, being a singles competitor instead of in a tag team has helped me branch out and come into my own as a performer."
TNA providing the Knockouts the time to tell stories each week and the freedom to progress: "It's awesome here because TNA lets us explore character development. We are not just coming out there as girls wrestling and then you don't see us for a couple of weeks. We get to do backstage vignettes and promos. They let us speak on the microphone, and we do a lot of it in the ring. You don't see that elsewhere.
"There are matches [elsewhere] where the girls will wrestle for three minutes or so and go to the back. They don't say a word, and you really don't know who is who. Here [TNA] we are so grateful we get the chance to be able to come into our own, have time to talk and have our characters develop. I just feel like that has us connected with the fans more."
Her dream opponent: "I would absolutely love to work with Amy Dumas one day, the wrestler formally known as Lita.
"She is the whole reason I wanted to get into this business. I have always been a fan of wrestling here and there, but when I saw her for the first time, I was just so blown away by her look and athletic ability and how she connected to the crowd, whether it was male or female.
"I try to pattern myself after her. I don't do the high-flying maneuvers, staying on the ground, but she is the whole reason I wanted to get into this business and got into wrestling. If she were to come here, I think that would be awesome. I would love to work with her one day."

World Bulletin/News Desk
The number of people missing from a landslide that sent a wall of mud cascading over dozens of homes in Washington state dropped to 30 from 90 on Saturday, but the death toll continues to climb as another body was found in the muddy heap of debris.
One week after the catastrophe, the unofficial body count rose to 28. The official tally of those killed is now 18 based on bodies found, extricated and identified by medical examiners.
But with the grim news also came word that the number of missing fell dramatically as officials were able to account for dozens of people as "safe and well."
Rescue and recovery workers pushed through wind and rain on Saturday continuing to comb through debris left after the rain-soaked hillside gave way without warning and destroyed dozens of homes on the outskirts of the rural Washington town of Oso, northeast of Seattle.
"The number is so big and it's so negative. It's hard to grasp," said volunteer Bob Michajla, 66, who has been helping to search part of the debris field that covers a square-mile (2.6 square-km). "These are all friends and neighbors and family. Everybody knows everybody in this valley."
The process of identifying victims has been complicated by the fact that some bodies have not been found intact.
An estimated 180 people lived in the path of the landslide.
As families and friends wait for news of those still unaccounted for, many have turned to social media sites to mourn and share memories of those presumed lost. A memorial page includes pleas for information on many of the missing, as well as prayers, condolences and offers of help.
"I find it difficult to do anything other than try to get updates to see if any new survivors have been found," said 50-year-old Brenda Roberson of nearby Arlington.
The plight of the Spillers family has gotten much attention. Postings on memorial web pages say Billy Spillers, 30, was at home with his four children when the hillside came down on their home.
Four-year-old Jacob Spillers was pulled out alive but his sister Kaylee, 5, was found dead. Billy and his two other children are still unaccounted for. The mother was not at home and survived.
Linda McPherson, 69, a librarian, died as her husband was able to dig himself out, according to the Snohomish County Landslide Victims Memorial Page on Facebook, while a 4-month-old girl and her grandmother were among those who perished.
No one has been pulled alive from the rubble since the day the landslide hit, when at least eight people were injured but survived. Rescuers have found no signs of life since then.
Lifelong Darrington resident Nolan Meece, 19, a recent high school graduate and frequent presence at community meetings about the slide, said he was among the first on the pile, arriving within an hour of the disaster.
"I was out there with my hands digging through all that mud," he said, adding that when he first arrived he heard survivors calling out but that those on the scene could not save them. "The ones I seen did not survive," he said.
The recovery operation has shown no signs of letting up, and heavy equipment operators were working to complete a rudimentary service road for emergency workers connecting the two sides of Highway 530, which was washed out by the slide.
Ron Brown, a Snohomish County official involved in search-and-rescue operations, said the debris field may end up being the final resting place for some victims, who may be buried so thoroughly they cannot be found.
"That's going to be hallowed ground out there," he said.
John Farmer, 52, who lives east of the slide site, suggested at a community meeting on Friday that the site should never be rebuilt but turned into a park or other place of remembrance.
"A place where we can remember our loved ones, our neighbors, our families, our friends," Farmer said.Last Mod: 30 Mart 2014, 12:40

Barney Rosset, the renegade founder of Grove Press who fought groundbreaking legal battles against censorship and introduced American readers to such provocative writers as Harold Pinter, Samuel Beckett, Eugene Ionesco and Jean Genet, died Tuesday in New York City. He was 89.
His daughter, Tansey Rosset, said he died after undergoing surgery to replace a heart valve.
In 1951 Rosset bought tiny Grove Press, named after the Greenwich Village street where it was located, and turned it into one of the most influential publishing companies of its time. It championed the writings of a political and literary vanguard that included Jack Kerouac, William S. Burroughs, Tom Stoppard, Octavio Paz, Marguerite Duras, Che Guevara and Malcolm X.
Rosset was best known for taking on American censorship laws in the late 1950s and 1960s, when he successfully battled to print unexpurgated versions of D.H. Lawrence's "Lady Chatterley's Lover" and Henry Miller's "Tropic of Cancer," both of which were considered far outside the mainstream of American taste but went on to become classics.
In 1959, he published "Lady Chatterley's Lover," which had been banned by the postmaster general for promoting "indecent and lascivious thoughts," but in 1960 a federal appeals court found that its frank descriptions of sexual intercourse did not violate anti-pornography laws.
In 1961, Rosset published "Tropic of Cancer," which was blocked by more than 60 court cases in 21 states. In a landmark 1964 ruling, however, the U.S. Supreme Court held that it had "redeeming social value" and was thus not obscene.
Rosset "was one of the good guys, in effect doing in book publishing what Playboy was doing in magazines," Playboy founder Hugh Hefner said Wednesday. "He was breaking the boundaries and published some very important works."
While running Grove Press, Rosset also founded a seminal literary magazine, Evergreen Review, which published important early works by such writers as Susan Sontag and Edward Albee.
He later branched into film distribution, with his major success the risque Swedish art film "I Am Curious (Yellow)," released in this country in 1968. Although considered mild by today's standards, the movie, with its scenes of nudity and sexual intercourse, provoked court challenges and feminist ire. But it made millions of dollars for Grove and burnished Rosset's standing as a countercultural impresario.
"Grove Press and Evergreen were a central part of that cultural revolution of the '60s, and Barney was at the center of it," said Morgan Entrekin, president of Grove/Atlantic, the company formed by the merger of Grove and Atlantic Monthly Press in 1993. "He used to gleefully tell me stories about the FBI files they had on him. He took a joy in standing up to the establishment."
Rosset's autobiography, which may be published later this year, is titled "The Subject Was Left-Handed," a line from a report he found in his FBI file.
The only child of a wealthy banker, Rosset was born in Chicago on May 28, 1922. "I'm half-Jewish and half-Irish and my mother and grandfather spoke Gaelic," he told the Associated Press in 1998. With that parentage, he once observed, "I was forced into tolerance" and held radical views from an early age. He attended Chicago's extremely progressive Francis W. Parker School, published a newspaper called Anti-Everything and joined the left-wing American Student Union.
He studied at four colleges, including Swarthmore and UCLA, eventually earning a degree from New York's New School for Social Research in 1952.
He was a freshman at Swarthmore in 1940 when he bought a banned copy of Miller's "Tropic of Cancer," which had been published in Paris in 1934. Rosset identified with Miller's sense of alienation.
"The sex didn't really hit me. What really got me," he told the Voice of America in 2009, "was the anti-American feeling that Miller had. He was not happy living in this country, and he was extremely endowed with the ability to say why."
After serving in the Army Signal Corps in China during World War II, he moved to New York with his first wife, painter Joan Mitchell, who introduced him to the Greenwich Village art scene. A friend of hers told him about a small press on Grove Street that was for sale. He bought it for $3,000.
He wanted to publish "Tropic of Cancer" but instead began with books that wouldn't require jumping through legal hoops. His first success was Beckett's absurdist play "Waiting for Godot" in 1954. He bought it for a $150 advance against a 2.5% royalty and sold more than 1 million copies at $1 each. (It has now sold more than 2.5 million copies.) Rosset named one of his sons after Beckett, who became one of his closest friends.
The year he published "Godot," Rosset heard from UC Berkeley literature professor Mark Schorer, who urged him to put out an uncensored edition of "Lady Chatterley's Lover." Rosset wasn't enamored of the book, but thought it could pave the way for the much bolder "Tropic," Miller's semi-autobiographical account of his early life and sexual adventures in Paris. Rosset notified postal authorities that he was sending the book in the mail. It was immediately confiscated, setting in motion the protracted legal tussle that ended in 1959 with the book's publication.
He then went to work on Miller, who was loath to allow Rosset to publish "Tropic." According to Rosset, the author feared what success would do to the book. "He wrote me a letter in which he said…What happens if you publish it and we actually win the case?" Rosset recounted in a 1997 interview with the Paris Review. Miller said he didn't want it to become so acceptable that it was assigned in colleges "and no one will want to read it!"
Miller's fear was unfounded. "Tropic" became a classic, along with many other titles Rosset published. He printed Burroughs' "Naked Lunch" in 1962, and Norman Mailer and Allen Ginsberg were among the defense witnesses at that book's trial. A few years later, Rosset snatched up "The Autobiography of Malcolm X" (1965) after Doubleday, fearful of repercussions after Malcolm's assassination, dropped it.
Rosset did not agree with the "socially redeeming" argument that led to the landmark victory for "Tropic" in 1964.
"My grounds has always been that anything should be — can be — published," he told NPR in 1991. "I think that if you have freedom of speech, you have freedom of speech."
His attempt to expand Grove into the film distribution business took the company to the brink of ruin. Rosset sold it in 1985 to oil heiress Ann Getty and British publisher George Weidenfeld, who ousted him as Grove's chief the following year. Rosset found himself starting over at 63 and launched other publishing ventures that eventually ran aground.
He revived Evergreen Review as an online journal and continued to run it until shortly before his death.
Married several times, he is survived by his wife, Astrid Myers, four children, three stepchildren, four grandchildren and four step-grandchildren.

At DT, we flip out over Internet-connected goodies a lot, from baby monitors to stoves and washing machines. But why wait for manufacturers to figure out how to integrate remote Web control into your everyday item when all you have to do is go at it from the root of the power: the battery.
That's where Tethercell aims to change a few things. By inserting your average AAA batteries into a Tethercell chamber, those ordinary tubes have all of a sudden gained Bluetooth connectivity which makes it controllable by your iOS and Android devices (it also bumps the size of AAA batteries into AA). This means you can add remote app access to toys, fans, game consoles, alarm clocks, flashlights – literally anything that runs on AA batteries can become Bluetooth-enabled. With Tethercell, the device can also send alerts to your smartphones when batteries are running low, and you can set On/Off timers for various gadgets around the house.
Sounds too good to be true? Perhaps, but it's not just a concept. The project is currently asking for funding via IndieGoGo to create Tethercells that run on Bluetooth 4.0, promising an average runtime of six to twelve months in battery life apiece. The range obviously varies depending on each gadget's power suckage. There's just a little over one month left to fund Tethercell, running at $35 each for those who want to be the first to try it out. With scale, the company aims to lower individual prices to between $10 to $20. What would you use Tethercells for? We think it'd be a perfect companion to a hilarious prank.

how to beat insomnia
Tips For Insomnia
Tips For Insomnia and A Better Nights Sleep
When you run a busy schedule, you need a good night of sleep in order to keep things going. If you suffer from insomnia, you truly can't function. Read on to find out how these tips for insomnia may just be what you're looking for.
Most of us like to wait until late for bed on holidays or when we have time off. Get into a habit and put on your alarm to wake yourself each morning at around the same time every day, no matter how late you stay up. Routine is the key to beat insomnia.
Setting A Routine is key to beat Insomnia
Set your alarm for an hour earlier. You may be more tired in the morning, but you should be able to sleep better that night. The idea of getting up earlier will make sure that you will be tired in the evening and want to get to bed early that night.
If you are having difficulties sleeping, ask your partner for a short massage. A relaxing massage can be a wonderful avenue to restful sleep.
Allow your mind and body to rest while you get your massage, and sleep will soon follow.
A mattress does little to support your body. This can actually stress your body more which can lead to your insomnia being worse.
We spend eight hours a day on a mattress – the investment of a good mattress is worth it in the long run.
As mentioned before routine is the key – try to get into one and stick to it. Your body will adjust to the pattern and sticking to it. Sleeping at random times will just make your insomnia worse.
Prescription sleep aids should only be considered when all else isn't working. Ask your doctor which one is best for you.
Physical Exercise Will help You beat Insomnia
Be sure to get ample physical exercise. It's a fact that people that work within an office environment, are more prone to have insomnia than any other people, simply due to the fact that they are less physical during the day.
You have to get your body tired at times, to help the body rest. At the least, you should try walking a couple of miles after you're done working.
Exercise is something that may allow you to sleep better through the night, but only if you do it more than a few hours before sleeping. It is a great idea to spend time in the morning doing some simple exercises.
Yoga is a great exercise to assist in the aid of beating insomnia. You don't want to avoid revving your metabolism right before bed. The goal is to achieve a natural body to slow down on its own.
Magnesium For Insomnia
Do you know the state of your magnesium levels in your body? A lot of people don't have the right amounts of magnesium in their bodies, so a supplement helps.
Magnesium is a great mineral for insomniacs to take because it helps them fall asleep better. Magnesium affects the neurotransmitters in the brain and can allow for more restful sleep.
Foods that are high in magnesium content include black beans, green leafy vegetables, leafy dark green like spinach, and pumpkin seeds. Magnesium can also provides the treatment of muscle cramps.
Consider taking a magnesium and calcium pill every day to find out whether that helps. These types of supplements are pretty cheap and can be found in a drug stores.
Consider how your bed is. Are your sheets and comfortable? Is your pillow too soft or too hard? Does it support your neck and head well? Is your mattress uncomfortable or old and firm? If so,you must get a new mattress.
This can make you more relaxed and help with sleep.
Best not to consume food or liquids prior to going to bed. This will only activate your digestive system which will not contribute to your sleeping. Although a nice cup of chamomile tea will be fine. Have a small drink and snack two hours before your head hits the pillow. Eating too late can cause disturbing dreams as well.
Do you remember hearing about parents give their kids milk so they'll go to bed? This really can help with insomnia – just make it a small glass and make sure it's warm. More home remedies for insomnia can be found here too.
Milk reduces your stress levels and help you relax because of its high calcium content is particularly effective. This can help you sleep.
It's no point in forcing yourself to shut your eyes because the clock tells you it's time to do so. It will be better for you wait to go until you're really tired physically.
Rock-A-Bye Baby
Did you know you aren't too old to be rocked to sleep? Rock in a chair for a bit before bed. Many arthritis sufferers also suffer from insomnia. Arthritis is a very painful condition that can make sleep elusive.
If you suffer from arthritis, try soaking in a hot bath, doing exercises for relaxation and taking some ibuprofen each night to get comfortable enough to sleep.
Cherry juice may help you sleep because it has melatonin in it. Studies have proven that drinking two glasses a day can help you sleep better than not drinking it at all. Tart juice is something that works best.
Take all electronic devices out of the bedroom. It can be harder to fall asleep with a computer or television in your room. Also, try really hard (I know it can be hard!) to not use your lap top or smart phone whilst in bed.
Your room should be used for nothing more than sleep and romance. Place your electrical gadgets in other rooms aside from your bedroom.
Kava may be helpful if your stress. It has been proven effective in treating stress and helping people to sleep better. Only take this supplement with your doctor's prescription as it can cause liver problems some people.
Many people think that alcohol will help 'knock them out' prior to sleep. Alcohol tends to have a relaxing effect when you first consume it, but after a couple hours, it can keep you up. This will keep you up at night and you'll feel terrible.
Check with your local physician before you take any over the counter sleeping aids. This is especially true if you're going to be using it for a long time. This sort of thing is OK occasionally but can have long term negative side effects.
Meditation or Relaxation Can Help With Insomnia
Use the time before bedtime to de-stress. Meditation or deep breathing is a great way to finish off the day. Put on some gentle music at bedtime and make sure your room is dark or only dimly lit. Enjoy creating a peaceful haven for your bedtime ritual.
Insomnia is an irritating issue for anyone to deal with. Luckily, it is possible to take control of your life and make the changes necessary to banish insomnia.
You need to sleep well to perform your daily duties better. I hope these tips for insomnia will help you to have a more peaceful sleep. Namaste!
A Sleep Optimization Program

nexFIT needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 23 designs submitted by 6 freelance designers.
Want to be the graphic designer for nexFIT, an innovative fitness product that runs on BlackBerry, iPhone/iPod Touch, and many other mobile devices? Let's start with a logo and go from there...
At mobileXware, we develop applications for mobile devices and are about to launch a full marketing campaign for our fitness product, nexFIT, that offers a complete, full-body workout routine that runs on your cell phone, PDA, or mp3 player. Our initial workout requires no weights or equipment and, hence, can be done anywhere you have your device - at home, in the office, on the road, you name it - yes, even at the gym!
Before going full bore with the campaign, we would like to revamp both our product logo (nexFIT) and company logo (mobileXware) so that they have a unified theme and project an image that will resonate with our target market and fit with our business development strategy. Additionally, we may be looking for some help with our web design and with building icons for our application so there is potential for futher work beyond just the logos.
We have some ideas that have already been developed for the logos and we ask that you please check those out along with the details of our product and company at the following 3 locations:
We invite your creativity and would like to see some diverse submissions with ideas that perhaps we haven't thought of. Here are some general guidelines of what we like so far (and applying some subtle 3-D, shadow, glossy effects might be nice too)
Item 1 - Logos: company (mobileXware) and product (nexFIT)
- The letter 'X' is common to both the product (nexFIT, which was formerly called xFit) and the company (mobileXware) and should be equally identifiable in both
- The letter 'X' also serves as a handy human figure so playing on that idea while incorporating the notion of exercise and fitness would be cool, though not strictly necessary
- Using the initials MXW in the company logo takes advantage of the symmetry so it works rightside up or upside down
- Each of these logos would need to be reproduced at a wide range of sizes, so vector formats are a must (.ai or possibly .svg).
Item 2 - Icons (only if you care to venture there - but at least keep this in mind)
- In addition to the Bodyweight module, we will also be offering other fitness disciplines like Freeweights, Yoga, Pilates, Kettle Bells, Swiss Ball, and many more and we will be looking for small icons that can help a user distinguish amongst these choices. Each of these icons would hopefully be suggestive of the overall nexFIT logo and/or the 'X' figure
- Again, vector images preferred here
- The icons should be easily discernible when rendered at a 57x57 pixel size and will be incorporated into our iPhone product, among other things. This means that the details in the icons will have to be concisely presented and they should play friendly with Apple's auto-glossy icon feature.
- Nothing specific jumps to mind, but we'll try to give feedback if you're whistling up the wrong neck of the woods.
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.
