With temperatures hovering near triple digits Tuesday, the City of Charlottesville took steps to make sure uncomfortable weather didn't become deadly weather.
Local pools were open for business. Meade Pool stayed open an extra hour. Lifeguards said they were ready, but that more swimmers can sometimes be a challenge.
"You need to be scanning the pool more often make sure nobody is going under," said Keenan Timko, a lifeguard at Meade. "There can also be more confrontations, people bumping into each other."
City management says the increased services do add up, but that it's money well-spent.
"It does cost some money," said Ric Barrick, the city's director of communications. "But it certainly is well worth the cost, having things open a little bit later and hoping that people will come and make use of the facilities."
The city and Dominion Power were also happy to report that there had been no power outages as of Tuesday evening.
"Last year when we had a heat wave, we saw on the second and the third day, we started to see some brownouts," said Barrick. "We started to see some issues within some city buildings, but so far [this year] nothing."
For seniors in the area JABA is offering it's Cooling Assistance Program. The program provides air conditioners and fans to those who qualify. It's been around for 21 years, but this year has been the busiest so far.
"We have usually about 20 people calling per day and that's a pretty large response to keep up with," said Joyce Gentry, an information and assistance specialist at JABA.
For more information on the JABA program, to find out if you qualify, or to make a donation, please contact JABA at 434-817-5222.

On February 10, 2014, Bright.com informed its members that it has been acquired by LinkedIn. For those of you who have never used Bright.com, it first started February 2011 the site launch after 18 months on June 19, 2012.
Though very similar in look to Indeed.com, Bright used what was known as the "Bright Score" system. We would normally provide a link but in light of the site closing, we have provided the information for you via Bright.com
Resume and job description study by Bright.com:
- 15 engineers and data scientists, including three Ph.D.'s and four MIT graduates
- 18 months of research and development
- 60 recruiters that graded resumes over the past year
- 40,800 man-hours of development
- 2.1 million job descriptions analyzed
- 2.8 million resumes that were used to validate the Bright Score
- 8.6 million jobseekers who participated in our study
The Bright Score Range:
- 0-69 Not a fit
- 70-89 Good fit
- 90-100 Great fit
Information used to determine the "bright score" were based off job experience, length of experience, previous work history, education, resume structure, ones grammar and spelling and even ones objective statement.
How LinkedIn plans to incorporated the Bright Score on their site is not known yet. We have been in touch with Bright.com but no reply has been given at this time.
However, this statement was released in their e-mail:
"To help you with this transition, we wanted to provide some information on how your Bright services and account will be impacted, as well as some support in moving over to LinkedIn:
You will be able to access existing account data on the site through February 28, 2014, but will not be able to create new activity. We encourage you to download your account information that you would like to keep."
With over 7,433,259 visitors to Bright.com only time will tell how they respond to LinkedIn's takeover.

More than 175 species in the continental United States and 39 in Hawaii have landed on the newest list of America's most imperiled birds.
WatchList 2007, a joint effort of Audubon and American Bird Conservancy, reflects a comprehensive analysis of population size and trends, distribution, and threats for 700 bird species nationwide. It reveals those in greatest need of immediate conservation help simply to survive amid a convergence of environmental challenges, including habitat loss, invasive species and global warming.
The new WatchList identifies 59 continental and 39 Hawaiian "red list" species of greatest concern and 119 more in the "yellow" category of seriously declining or rare species. It is based on the latest available research and assessment from the bird conservation community along with data from the Christmas Bird Count and the annual Breeding Bird Survey. The data were analyzed and weighted according to methods developed through extensive peer review and revision, yielding an improved assessment of actual peril that can be used to determine bird conservation priorities and funding.
"Adoption of this list as the 'industry standard' will help to ensure that conservation resources are allocated to the most important conservation needs," says David Pashley, American Bird Conservancy's director of conservation programs and co-author of the new list. "How quickly and effectively we act to protect and support the species on this list will determine their future; where we've taken aggressive action, we've seen improvement."
Despite ongoing challenges and their continued place on the list, the status of some WatchList species is improving, according to the new data, as broader awareness of their plight has spawned effective conservation action. Several species have benefited from federal protection under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and now show stabilizing, or even increasing populations. Lacking an ESA designation or the political support needed to secure strong protective measures, others continue to decline.
"Habitat loss due to development, energy exploration and extraction, and the impact of global warming remain serious threats for the most imperiled species, along with others on both the red and yellow lists," says Pashley. "Concerted action will be needed to address these threats."
Listed species may seem unfamiliar to many Americans. Unlike those on Audubon's recent survey of Common Birds in Decline, the species on WatchList are often rare and limited in range. In combination with population declines and new threats, these factors make many of them acutely vulnerable to extinction.
Among the most imperiled species on the list that regularly breed in the continental United States are:
Gunnison Sage-Grouse. (not on the ESA list) This species is restricted to Southwest Colorado and adjacent Utah. Drought, which is predicted to get worse with increased global warming, is among the factors that have reduced the Gunnison Sage-Grouse population to fewer than 5,000; habitat loss and fragmentation and excessive grazing are other threats. Protection and restoration of contiguous tracts of good habitat is critical.
Lesser Prairie-Chicken. (not on the ESA list) Habitat loss and degradation have restricted this species to a number of isolated populations, many of which are on private lands in Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas. Small population size, changing habitat resulting from drought, and climate change threaten continued survival.
California Condor. (protected by the ESA) Once reduced to nine individual wild birds, this raptor is slowly recovering, thanks to captive breeding and the release of individuals in California and Arizona. There are now 305 individuals, including 148 free-flying birds. Lead bullets are a critical threat to long-term survival, as fragments poison wild condors that eat the remains of hunters' kills. Audubon California and American Bird Conservancy have spearheaded recent passage of legislation eliminating lead bullets in the range of the condor in that state.
Whooping Crane. (protected by the ESA) Unregulated shooting and loss of habitat reduced this species to fewer than 20 individuals around the turn of the 20th Century. Implementation of a recovery plan developed under the Endangered Species Act has resulted in more than a 1000% increase in population to over 200 individuals, and has spawned efforts to establish additional wild breeding populations.
Piping Plover. (protected by the ESA) Protection of this shorebird's beachfront nesting grounds is helping to improve the outlook for this species. Human development along beaches, increased beach recreation, disturbance by pets, and increased predation require constant vigilance. Intensive conservation efforts supported by the Endangered Species Act have helped stabilize populations and allowed populations to increase in some regions of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
Black-capped Vireo. (protected by the ESA) Suburban development, agricultural conversion, and fire suppression in Texas and Oklahoma have decreased available breeding habitat, reducing both the range and population size of this species. Increased predation near human development has further decreased populations, as has parasitism from Brown-headed Cowbirds, which lay their eggs in Black-capped Vireo nests, out-competing the vireo chicks. Innovative conservation efforts on public and private lands seem to be helping some populations recover.
Florida Scrub-Jay. (protected by the ESA) Suburban-exurban sprawl and agricultural development have reduced habitat dramatically and isolated many populations. Maintaining natural wildfire regimes will be critical. Although ESA status has increased conservation efforts for this species, it has not been enough to stop loss of habitat.
Golden-cheeked Warbler. (protected by the ESA) Breeding is restricted to the Edwards Plateau in Texas, where suburban sprawl and habitat destruction has greatly reduced population size. Winter habitat loss in southern Mexico and Central America may also be affecting populations. Innovative conservation strategies that protect and restore habitat in both the breeding and wintering grounds are underway and needed.
Kirtland's Warbler. (protected by the ESA) Dependent on jack pine habitat in northern Michigan, this warbler species has increased more than 600 percent since the mid-1980s because of management plans implemented under the Endangered Species Act. Singing male counts in the spring have increased from 200 to almost 1,400 (and some singing males are now found in Wisconsin and Ontario). Wild land fire management, control of the parasitic Brown-headed Cowbird, and protection of wintering habitat in the Bahamas remain essential to long-term survival.
Ashy Storm-Petrel. (not on the ESA list) Breeding populations are restricted to islands off the west coast of North America. Non-native nest predators and increased gull populations threaten breeding birds, and ocean pollution and overfishing threaten feeding birds.

I would really like to get a logo which will be used on my website, business cards and cd sleeves etc.
I don't have the skills to do this myself. There are a number of companies advertising logo design on the web and here on epz. Have any of you used a logo design company and feel able to recommend anyone in particular? Or are there any pitfalls I should be aware of - e.g. hidden costs etc?
Thanks for reading and all advice gratefully received.
Before you pay why not ask if anyone on epz could help out...
There are plenty of creative people on here
ONe thing that I would check if you go with a "cheap" company (or any company) is that you
a) will own the copyright for the logo (or at least full reproduction permissions) so that you can put it on all manner of marketing material in the future. For example vistaprint will do it for you so that you can order their cards and their headed paper etc. however when I have asked them (on behalf of a friend) in the past about other uses (say taking the logo an putting it on a poster I have designed for that friend) they were a lot more cagy about the permissions that I would have. Although in theory your are commissioning the logo, the cheaper options tend to have a lot of strings atached
b) can you get the logo in a "vector" format. If they will only provide a med - large jpeg then this will be fine for business cards and/or stationary and a website. however it will be more difficult to take a 1000px X 1000px jpeg and make large enough for printing on the side of a van for example. If in the future you ever require something much larger (think building signs and massive posters) then you may have to get someone to "reverse engineer it" which can prove expensive (and possibly prohibited by the original copyright)
http://www.pointwentyfive.com/ Try this guy he is working on a logo for me, he works freelance for some top London advertising agencies but takes personal work email at firstname.lastname@example.com
Some good points raised above. In all likelihood you won't have a problem with permissions for reproducing how you see fit with a reputable company or individual as they probably wouldn't care - but they may wish to try and quote you for your repro requirements to make a little extra if possible.
Getting scalable vector graphics of the logo is definitely preferable so you can increase the output size whenever the situation arises. Vector graphics tend to be smaller in file size but that said, if you wanted anything photographic [say a flower] incorporated within your logo, the designer would need to embed this image within the Vector ... this may take the overall file size up depending on how big the image needed to be.
Also discuss with your designer about looking into spot colour, CMYK and mono reproduction and get them to supply the associated logos for your needs too. If you look at producing your business cards and stationery using traditional litho printing methods, then the number of colours used in your logo will likely impact on price as each becomes a printing plate and has a cost associated with it. 1 or 2 spot colour logos will be cheaper than 3, 4 or even more using this method.
If you are planning on using an online business card printing company then this shouldn't be an issue as they probably use CMYK [4 colour] digital printing anyway.
Hope this helps!!!
I use Fiverr for all my logo's, although you do have to go through a lot of the sellers to find the very good ones just looking to build up a portfolio rather than just using crap automated software as a lot of them do. Seldom do I end up with something crap but it does happen, but then we are only talking about $5
Thanks for all the helpful replies! I'm now sorted and delighted with my logo!
Epz pointed me in the direction of a very talented, friendly, helpful graphic designer! Thanks to everyone, but especially Paul

Yesterday's life drawing. Conte is a lot of fun to work with.
Hey everyone! I've watched this thread for a couple of months, and decided that I finally wanted to join in on the fun. Unfortunately, I don't get to draw the figure as often as I would like since I'm still a high school senior, and I only get to draw 4 the figure 4 times a year. My pieces are in order of when I did them, from my first one over two years ago up to my most recent one this past October.
Any comments and critiques would be appreciated!
My DA Page
new figures, conte drawings!
Great piece of art
20 minute sketches
High Everyone. First post
https://www.facebook.com/dwilsonart Facebook Page
First post!
Here are a couple recent figures. I've been deviating towards drawing with a more expressive line as opposed to realistic representation with values lately. Just a matter of time and practice before I find that middle ground.
From a week or two ago.
From this evening. 50 x 60 cm, charcoal on toned paper. A little more than two hoursthough, I probably should have stopped drawing sooner...
some 20s. colored pencil on cheap printing papers
crit me! = )
my art blog:
www.thedrawingsource.com - Drawing Tutorials, Exercises and Lectures
www.marinafridman.com - My personal site (:
The work on here is a big inspiration for me. im curious though how exactly does nude figure drawing help with animation or comic art?
If you look through this thread you can see that there are a lot of quick studies or Gesture drawings. Specifically with animation gesture drawings help because animators draw hundreds, thousands of figures to tell a story. You want to be able to knock those out accurately and also very quickly. It's similar with comic art as well, you'll be drawing the same characters over and over again. So figure drawing helps you learn all the different angles/positions that you'll need to have in your head for either profession. Hope that helps.
Demo during yesterday's class, 25 minutes, charcoal. Details here :
Margot, 35 minutes. Details here :
August Rush no crits from me. Your sketches have good character development. Like the red pencil.nice going.
Marina How much time on this piece? Well done.
Jofi two hrs looks good to me. Nicely rendered drawing.
wanted to do a quick study before the workshop ended.
should have started earlier.
scratch it until it bleeds.
David, 35 minutes, details here :
Just loving it, some real refined stuff out there.

Hi I hope I'm doing nothing wrong by posting here. I've been taking a nude drawing class since September, but it's only once a month and what with some other commitments I've only had two sessions so far. Poses are 10-15 minutes mostly.
Sorry for using the IMG markup for the second one, it doesn't seem to want to upload as an attachment...

I have been a teaching Golf Pro since 1973. I am a Club Ho First Degree. I have too many Drivers,Irons.Wedges and Putters to count! What I am currently playing in on my profile. Since the golf season is just staring in NW PA," currently playing" is subject to change.
Welcome.... not a part of the world I know very well...mainly UK folk on here. Winters are long in that State!
OK....I had to google Erie to find it! But I knew where PA was!
Yes, Winter is long in Erie,PA. This winter we had about half of normal snow amount and warmer than normal temps . During the 2010-11 winter the golf course where I teach had over 250" of snow I live a couple blocks from Lake Erie and we had around 100"
(Last week we had record high temps(80* F on Friday), but back to normal now. Highs in mid to upper 40.* Fs and sometimes in early50s F. Alot of Grape and Fruit farmers in this area and since the temp was in mid-20*F, they were worried about crops ,which is about a month ahead of schedule.

Unrolling Toilet Paper
In his Dec. 17 Action-Reaction blog post titled "Falling Rolls," one of my heroes of physics instruction, Frank Noschese, details an exercise from Robert Ehrlich's book Why Toast Lands Jelly-Side Down.
The exercise, a rotational motion problem that challenges students to find the ratio of heights at which you can drop two identical toilet paper rolls, one dropped regularly, the other dropped by holding onto the end of the paper and letting it unroll, such that the two rolls hit the ground at the same time. It's a terrific, easy-to-replicate and demonstrate problem that pulls together a great number of rotational motion skills –> finding the moment of inertia, applying the parallel-axis theorem, identifying forces and torques from free body diagrams, and converting angular acceleration to linear acceleration. My students dove into the challenge with zest!
To begin the exercise, we set our variables (H=height for dropped roll, h=height for unrolled roll, r = inner diameter, R = outer diameter), then identified the time it takes for the dropped roll to hit the ground using standard kinematics:
Next, we did the same thing for the unrolling toilet paper roll:
Of course, if we want them to hit at the same time, the times must be equal, therefore we can show:
Obviously, what we really need to focus our efforts on is finding the linear acceleration of the unrolling roll. To save ourselves some time, we started by looking up the moment of inertia for a cylinder:
Using the parallel-axis theorem to account for the unrolled roll rotating about its outer radius we find:
Next, we can use a free body diagram to identify the net torque on the roll as MgR, and use Newton's 2nd Law for Rotational Motion to find the angular acceleration:
Since linear acceleration can be found from angular acceleration multiplied by the radius of rotation (R):
Finally, since we're looking for the ratio of the dropped height to the unrolled height:
This conflicts with the results from Noschese's class, where they derived , however, their demonstration based on their results is very convincing. Let's take a look at the difference in ratios using the two derivations:
For a toilet paper roll of inner diameter .0095m and outer diameter R=.035m (our school rolls from the janitor supply closet):
It appears that our discrepancies aren't just differing mathematical representations of the same formula, but that we have a significant difference in our derivations.
In looking over our assumptions, we assumed no air resistance, and also that the unrolling toilet paper roll rotates about its outer radius (is this really true)? I wonder what assumptions were made in Noschese's class that may account for these differences. It will be interesting to get his class's perspective on the problem, and provides a great practical study for our students of different approaches to a problem, and the importance of understanding the ramifications of assumptions made in beginning a problem solving exercise!
Update: it appears our calculations are correct. Check out our high-speed video confirmation!

Looks like we made an algebra error. I ran through our derivation again (which uses energy instead of torque) and now I get the same solution as you, which is also the same solution in Erlich's book. Thanks for trying it out with your students and catching our mistake! (In my video, it looks like our students do not release the rolls at exactly the same time, which may have compensated for our incorrect solution.)

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I agree with Gavin. I love "immersion" and roleplay, but for my guild I explained "guild chat" can be what they want.
Because people need to chat about the game, about their problems, about friends.
And, I still think good rp is better when played with the character in front of other, not simply text.
and I agree, good rp can be comedy and "pop culture", I play an gnome engineer mage for the love of inventing totally crazy machines or whatever theory of the day.
For example, I explain " tectonic " is a crazy tale. The world is shaped by elemental forces, obviously , as Ragnaros. I saw it for Kadghar's sake :)
or than the world is flat (and round, you can see it from the Black Temple) with crazy explanations about "end of the world" and some weird "map" concepts.

House Tour: Caitlin's Beacon Hill Jewel Box
Name: Caitlin
Location: Beacon Hill in Boston, MA
Size: 330 sq/ft Studio
Years lived in: 1 year
Beacon Hill is a 19th Century neighborhood barely one-half mile square with over 10,000 residents and an entire University inside of it. Living amongst cobblestone sidewalks barely wide enough for one person and streets built for horse-drawn carriages in one of its many tiny apartments is a true test for living small. Caitlin's affectionally named "compartment" is a wonderful glimpse inside this unique Boston neighborhood...
Caitlin says she was enchanted by the architectural elements when she first saw this small space and tried to keep the furnishings and decor in line with its historical roots, but also relaxed and youthful. Her goal was to make her home aesthetically pleasing, but also comfortable — no stiff sofas here. We love how the space clearly came together organically and, in Caitlin's words, without a lot of planning or monetary investment. She recently moved to a new space where she says her current style is a bit more grown-up and less feminine but we think her charming Beacon Hill abode is very refined, without all the historical stuffiness. Lovely job, Caitlin!
AT Survey:
My style: Shabby elegance, decayed glamour, whimsical tradition
Inspiration: Everything, really! I never miss an issue of Domino magazine. I've been very inspired by AT over the years, as well as Design*Sponge and decor8. I have a giant inspiration folder on my computer where I save various images that appeal to me.
Favorite Element: I love the huge windows and the high ceilings. The wrought-iron fire escape outside could ALMOST be a balcony. The fireplace was also a little-girl fantasy come true. Plus, my thumbs-up statue that I got for $15 at TJ Maxx
Biggest Challenge: I wish my bed wasn't sitting in the middle of the room, but it was more or less unavoidable so I just embraced it. If I were to do it again I would probably pile the pillows against the wall for a daybed look.
Additionally, being a short individual, it was very hard to reach anything in the kitchen cabinets. My friend solved this problem by buying me a Robot Claw Grabber.
What Friends Say: "Where's the next room?"
Biggest Embarrassment: My unironic love of Christmas tree lights. That, and the fact that I never got around to setting my wireless router up, resulting in wires lying on the floor.
Proudest DIY: I painted and reupholstered the gold-colored chairs. I also made the curtains hanging behind the bed.
Biggest Indulgence: White, high-thread count sheets (they were from eBay, though!)
Best advice: "You can always change it." Sometimes people get hung up on getting things perfect on the first try so they play it safe.
Dream source: For this apartment, I love the Anthropologie aesthetic, just everything is so expensive! I would also like a personal, free, on-call carpenter to make me all the built-ins of my dreams.
Resources: eBay, IKEA, flea markets and yardsales, Cambridge Antiques Market. Actually, an embarrassing amount of this furniture was found on the curb!
Accessories: TJ Maxx has the most amazing selection of mysteriously inexpensive, truly bizarre statuary.
Artwork: Mostly by me, inspired by far more talented artists. This was mostly due to budgetary constraints. Framing various items with cheap Target frames (dishtowel, wrapping paper) was another source.

i call my place 'my compartmentapartment'. glad i'm not the only one. your place is cute.
I lived on a similar unit on UES and I totally understand you.. I think you did an amazing job.
I love the chair by the window, it makes me wanna sit there and read a good book.
Love that wing chair...
Oh how I love Beacon Hill. Lovely little space.
Lovely use of a tiny space. Your style definitely compliments the 19th C aesthetic, yet still looks totally modern.
your tiny nest is so homey and cosy! it has great personality, friendly and in complete ease with given proportions and budget. lovely, lovely, lovely!
adorable little place
lovely little space...love your style. and that wingback chair near the window! perfection
Lovely -- It looks like Paris.
Thanks for all the nice comments! The wing chair *is* supremely comfortable. I got it at the Cambridge Antiques Market for about $200. There is a lot of junk to wade through there, but some real treasures too!
Another jewel box (that's the name of MY little Cape Cod!)
Inspiring. YOU WIN! I love your color choices. Lots of creative solutions, too.
I wish I had that chair, it's beautiful!
Hi this isn't a question about this house but I'm not sure where else to post it. I'm looking for the house tour or story that was done a while ago with a really cute attic make over. I think the woman was a designer. She turned this very small attic into a cute guest bedroom and used a lovely marimeko fabric for the curtains. There were leaves space cupboards on either end. I think it had a pink feel to it. Wish I could be clearer. Can anyone help? Ring any bells? I'm sure there was also a story about their house and the main photo was of the living room. I've searched the house tours archives but can't seem to find it. Thanks everyone.
I kinda like the mismatching furniture and i love the small picture frames over the large canvas, its unique and very urban outfitter style.
Beautiful. Every corner fills the eye. Very charming and cozy.
This is so wonderful and cozy. I love it. I adore all the artwork and that pretty chair.

Allover lace A-line gown with beaded motif detail Style WG9821 119 120
Amazing Dress!! This dress is simply flattering! I tried on about 7 dresses. At one point, I picked this dress twice! After I put on the dress, I knew this was the one! It instantly slims you and the detailing is so elegant. This is by far the best dress at David's Bridal and the price wasn't bad! I wish I could remember the name of the woman that helped me because she did a fantastic job and was very honest with me. Everyone at the Greenwood, IN David's Bridal was so helpful! I would recommend this dress to anyone! November 28, 2012
Fantastic :) I really hadn't been looking at this silhouette at all (I was really looking for a ball gown) but my consultant asked me if I liked lace and I told her I did. She pulled this dress, and when I walked out of the dressing room, my bridesmaid's jaw dropped and my mom started to cry. This dress is stunningly gorgeous and the picture does not do it justice. I am still in love with it, and I can hardly wait to wear it on my big day, which is only 3 weeks away! November 28, 2012
I feel in love! I was looking at many other dresses before I ran across this one. The consulate just happened to pull this one for me and I fell in love. The beautiful lace and beading makes it so classy yet stunning. It's comfortable to move around in even though I have to beware of the train, but it is worth my money for sure! September 26, 2012
First Dress....fell in love After browsing David's Bridal for a few months and tagging about 15 dresses, I actually tagged this the day before my appointment. Had my eye on another dress. Tried this one on first and absolutely fell in love. Nothing else compared. It is light weight, so comfortable and very flattering!!! Tried on about 12 more dresses then put this one back on and knew it was mine! Perfect dress for Houston, Texas (very hot and humid) August 2, 2012

Review: McDonald's Mac Snack Wrap
That being said I don't think I'd buy it again. I'd rather just go all the way and get a Big Mac. It's pretty much for people who want the Big Mac taste but not all the Big Mac calories. Also at $1.49, it's not a great value compared to say $1.99 for a Big Carl.

Novato, Californ...
Simplicity 1644: Junior Misses' and Misses' Two-Piece Dress: The top is tucked at the underarm and darted at the back waistline. Scallops outline the extended shoulders and lower edge of the peplum. Style I has a high, round neckline with a slash opening in front. Flower trim is optional. In Style II, the scooped-out neckline is edged with scallops.
I cannot get enough of scalloped edges! The skirt is a basic 1940s shape, but the blouse was too good to pass up!
There are not too many pieces to deal with, so the only complicated bits are getting the scallops trimmed and pressed into shape. I cut myself a cardboard "form" that follows the curve of the scallop shape to help get a smooth curve to press into place – it also ensures a consistent size scallop throughout the garment.
The construction has the bottom edge closed, and a size zipper inserted from about an inch below the underarm to an inch from the bottom edge. This makes the piece challenging to get over the bust. If/when I make this again, I will leave the bottom edge open, and insert the zipper up-side-down so the entire size can be opened and easily put on.
I just love this design, and see quite a few more of these in my future!
More pictures may be found over on my blog, Lilacs & Lace.

Rectangle Tool to create colored boxes
This is probably an easy thing but I cannot seem to make it work.
Sponsored Links:
Expand a Rectangle or Frame as a border
I have a report where I have several text boxes and Labels that I would like to place inside a rectangle or something similar so that they are enclosed together in the report with a nice border around them and will stay within this border. The rectangle needs to shrink or grow around the labels and text boxes when they grow or shrink
Use Name Of Rectangle For Search
I have a form in Access 2007 with a lot of rectangles on it. I want to display data based on which rectangle is clicked by the user. It seems to me as if the easiest way is to have the key field of the database contain the name of a rectangle (Box100, Box101, Box102..). As an example I have the rectangle name hard coded in (Box414 in this instance) but I would like to have the event get the name of the rectangle clicked and use that as the search criteria
DoCmd.OpenForm "DataEntry", , , "ID='Box414'"
Where "DataEntry" is the name of a data entry form and "ID='Box414" is what I want to replace with the name of the rectangle...
Listbox ColorCoding
Can a listbox have colored lines? Is it possible by any stretch?
I like color-coding, frankly need it, don't want to port out to excel. I've tried induvidual colored rectangles aside the text, however those require a lot of messy code (not to mention a million form controls) and when vertical scroll occurs it's a losing battle because, duh, the boxes don't move with the listbox. Is the impossible possible
Setting height of a rectangle in report when it opens
I have a report which shows percentages and I have a rectangle which changes depending on the percentage. I achieved this by using
yourpercentage.Height = ([Percentage] / 100) * (1440 * 4)
When the report loads.
So the higher the percentage, the higher the bar goes up the page. Simple right? Howevever, my rectangle doesnt go higher. It just varies the white space below, depending on the values.
I want to know know how to set the bottom of the rectangle as the bottom, and the top as the top.
Create the Illusion of Colored Tabs
Learn how to Create the Illusion of Colored Tabs. (video tutorial)
Image type form that displays cubicle of search result?
I am trying to create a map type form that will use the rectangle control to represent all the different cubes in an office building and I would like the cube that the person is searching for based on the employee look-up table to change either the rectangle color of the corresponding cubicle or to display an arrow. Are either of these things possible? If not how would I go about accomplishing something similar?
Display coloured rectangle, where colour changes based on table data
It's been a while since I was last here, but I need to scratch your brains for some advice.
Some background info:
I have a table named tblCompanies. In this table, there is a field named BeenContacted. The BeenContacted field is a checkbox on my form so would take a Yes/No value.
My Problem:
I would like to have a rectangle appear on the report alongside the company's name. I want the rectangle to be green if BeenContacted was True and red if BeenContacted was false for that specific company.
Create a tool to fill a table
This is my first project with Access. Tutorials on the internet never correspond to my project.
I want to create a data base with only one table. The user will be able to add a new line with a tool (several text boxes to fill the blanks).
One the same panel, I want to display the tool, the table and some other functions (like the sum of a column, or print the table).
I think this very easy to do this (only one table). Yon can see on attachment a powerpoint draft of the panel.
Do you have any ideas or examples to begin my project? For the moment, I have already created the access table and put it into my panel.
Using multiple combo boxes to populate a subform
I've created a form and am having difficulty linking my 2 combo boxes to the subform within the form.
I've been able to figure out how to link the combo boxes to each other so that in the first combo box I can select a category "bag" and then the second combo box provides me with the only 2options to go with "bag": "sandwich" or "tool".
Once I have selected "Bag" in the first combo box and "tool" in the second combo box, I then want a list of suppliers that sell tool bags to populate into the subform. I have been working for WEEKS to get the subform to populate data rather than remain empty.
Hiding controls
On certain forms & reports, I like to block the view several controls at once with a rectangle or a text box-it simplifies the form for the user. It also means I don't have to put in a bunch of Control.visible=true or false statements, but just one for the hider. When certain controls change values or buttons clicked, the rectangle uncovers and makes those controls available.
I am seeing, to me, a weird phenomena. On a columnar form, the top control only in the list always shows through the rectangle. Send to back, front doesn't affect it, it just shows. I found this true in a2003 with XP and a2007 with W
Picture - Problem with Edges of Form
I figured this would be easier to explain with a picture. I have a form and I am not sure why the rectangle - which is set to extend all the way left to right - is not going all the way to the left. I am also wondering what the blue "box with the arrow in it" is. I assume this has something to do with my rectangle not entirely extending.
Conditional formatting on form
I have a form which is bound to a table. The table contains a few records which are shown on the form. There's also a rectangle in the detail section of the form. The backcolor of the rectangle should depend on the value of a field in the record.
Value field Color
1 Green
2 Blue
3 Orange
Is there a form event which fires per record I can use to accomplish this
Working with Dialog Boxes and Menus
You can create your own dialog boxes and menus. Using the tools presented in this tutorial, you will make your macros behave very much like Access itself--using menus and dialog boxes to improve the user's interface.
By the time you finish this tutorial, you will understand the following key concepts: how to use message boxes, how to design dialog boxes, how to create a switchboard menu and how to add custom menus to your forms and reports.
Cascading combo boxes using a junction table
I have a Production Data form for users to input their end of shift information into. I would like them to populate the Machine combo box then in turn the Tool combo box would only show the tools used on that machine.
I have a Machine table (macMachine, macDesc), Tool table (tlToolNum, tlToolDesc, tlMinutes/Shift, tlPieces Per Hour, tlCycleTime) and MachineTool (macMachine, macDesc, tlToolNum,tlToolDesc) table for the many-to-many relationship.
I can't figure out how to populate the combo boxes to get the desired results.
Access - a massive tutorial
Access is a unique tool released by Microsoft that provides both the functionality of a database and the programming capabilities to create end-user screens. We've categorized Access into the following topics: Access Exam/Quiz, Forms, Functions, Subforms, Combo Boxes, Modules/VBA Code Text Boxes, Queries, Constants, Reports, Database, Tables, Switchboard, Security, Date/Time, Shortcuts/Hot Keys, Programming Standards and Question & Answer
Create a form by using the Blank Form tool
Access provides several form-creation tools on the Create tab, which you can use to quickly create a form. If these tools do not fit your needs, you can use the Blank Form tool instead. As the name implies, this tool opens a new, blank form, which you can then customize and format the way you want. This can be a very quick way to build a form, especially if you plan to put only a few fields on the form.
Annoying Autocorrection is breaking my form
I have a form with two unbound date text boxes [StartDate] and [EndDate]. then I have a tab control with two queries that filter (or should filter) off these forms.
On the query/subform I have the date field filtered by :
Between Forms![Time Reporting tool]![StartDate] And Forms![Time Reporting tool]![EndDate]. OR thats what it SHOULD say.
Access keeps autocorrecting it to Between
[Forms]![Time Reporting tool]![StartDate] And [Forms]![Time Reporting tool]![EndDate]
A subtle yet destructive difference. I keep getting prompted to enter the date instead of the query referring to the form. When I go to SQL view and correct it there I get the same thing happening: Access breaks my query again.
How do I make it stop
Bridge table between two other tables
I made a tool table with the following fields: Tool ID (PK), department, shop, location, and tool number. A second table with the fields: Set ID (PK), description and qty. I made abridge table with the fields: link ID (PK), tool ID and Set ID.
I made a relationship between the tables - Tool ID (PK) (Tool Table) -> Tool ID (FK) (Bridge Table), Set ID (PK) (Tool Set Table) -> Set ID (FK) (Bridge Table).
I then made a form with a subform using the Tool and Tool Set tables. I can add information in the tool table on the form but when I add information in the Tool Set Table I get the following message: fields cannot be update.
Pulling information from a Table into a Form
I have three Tables and three Forms: Job ID, Tool ID, and Tool Log ID. On the Tool Log Form I want to be able to Log tools in and out. On the Log Form I want it to show 1) Job Name 2)Tool Name 3)Tool Quantity 4)Check-out Date 5)Check-in Date.
I have not had a problem getting it to pull the information from the other IDs for 1, 2, 4, and 5, but when it comes to 3, the Tool Quantity, I want to make sure that the value in the Log Form does not exceed the value in the Quantity Owned Field located in the Tool ID Table/Form.
In other words, I do not want to allow us to accidentally check-in (10) ladders when we only own (9). How do I go about doing this?
Originally I had just included a Quantity Owned Field in the Log ID, and planned to create a validation rule for the check-in/out quantity that said not to exceed the value in Quantity Owned.
In order to do that I tried to pull the value from the Quantity Owned Field in the Tool ID table into the Log Form by using an expression in the Control Source of the Quantity Owned Box.
sync combo boxes as per example given
I followed the instructions given to me to sync combo boxes in the sample templates of access 07, and have managed to produce one new form; as stated I had to do, to create eleven "working" combo boxes.
the problem I now have is that this "new form" is not linked to any table. I followed the vba code route adapting it to sync my various combo boxes. if I use the macro route would my end form still be the created form from the "create form wizard" of the create tab from my original table. if not is there a procedure to create a table from a form? or a way of indexing data on a form to link it to a specific table.


text: Nissan IDx Concepts Drive Details: Nissan's IDx Freeflow and Nismo Concepts drop by our HQ for sneak preview Cars set to tour Southern California this weekend Tour stops at Petersen Museum, plus Cars & Coffee and Supercar Sunday meets More stops and events are possible; vehicles can be tracked via hashtag #IDxinSoCal Nissan's IDx Concepts Nismo and Freeflow created a stir when the wraps came off of both at auto shows in Tokyo and Detroit recently, the automaker clearly tugging on enthusiast heartstrings with its 510-looking box. The official company line thus far has been that the IDx will likely never come to production fruition, but that hasn't stopped the automaker's American operations from drumming up support to push for the thing to be made. The campaign to bring the IDx from concept to reality ratchets up this weekend, when handlers from Nissan U.S.A. take the cars around Southern California to display. In a whirlwind, three-day tour starting on Friday, January 31 through Sunday, February 2, the vehicles will be showcased in a variety of California locales, from the streets of Venice to Irvine's Cars & Coffee, and a special event at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. The tour began in earnest earlier today, when the cars were dropped off at the Source Interlink Media offices in El Segundo for a sneak preview, otherwise known as our home base. While we didn't get to drive the cars, we did get to touch and sit in both the IDx Nismo and Freeflow, in addition to talking to company reps. From here, the concepts head to Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, where people can scope the cars on Friday from 4 to 10 p.m. The tour continues early in the morning on Saturday at the "Cars & Coffee" meet in Irvine, and then it's off to the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles for the "Inside the MotoMan Studio" event, featuring revered Nissan hot shoe Peter Brock. Sunday, February 2, will be the last event scheduled for the IDx concepts, at the "Supercar Sunday" gathering in Woodland Hills, from 7 to 10 a.m. More stopovers and events are possible between January 30 and February 2, all to be announced via Nissan's Facebook page and on Twitter with the hashtag #IDxinSoCal.

VICKSBURG, Miss. (AP) - Officials say a 32-year-old Vicksburg man charged with eight counts of arson had been a volunteer firefighter for the Bench Volunteer Fire Department in Utica.
Leroy Evans was arraigned Wednesday in Warren County Justice Court. His bond was set at $2,500.
5 of the charges against Evans stem from a Jan. 25 blaze that burned five buildings, including homes and a small grocery store in Vicksburg.
The fire marshal's office said Evans has not been a volunteer firefighter for at least a year.
If convicted, Evans faces up to 20 years in prison for each count.
