Dear Anthropologie: A Letter of Complaint
Dear Anthropologie (and all other stores pertaining to this issue),
I love your store. I love the scent when you walk in, the feel of the material, and the creative way everything is displayed. I love the candles, the sweaters, the doorknobs, the dresses, the high-heels, the many patterns, and the painted dishes. I love getting the catalog in the mail and dreaming about a reality in which I, too, am able to pitch my tent in the tide of the Bahamas, just because it would be a beautiful sight.
I am not complaining because I am one of those curvy, big-bosomed women who never see anyone their size in a magazine. I am a tall, petite young girl who usually fits in a size small, does …

One of the things Flash designers have had which web developers have not is the ability to retarget an application to any viewport size desired. I've been saddled with implementing a by such a Flash designer for deployment in HTML/CSS/JS on QTwebkit.
What's amazing is that I've had some degree of success with it. I can't show a demo yet, but imagine that a fully animated, complicated application smoothly scales, centres, and otherwise behaves more or less like you'd expect Flash to.
To be sure, there are some sketchy areas. Webkit's positioning math can be very sloppy if you need precision (my design does). Any container that's affected by font size is going to change a little (not always bad).
Watch here for a demonstration of this soon, along with a bit of how-to.

Mayoral candidates in South Salt Lake and West Valley City have decided to seek recounts in primary election races whose final tallies, released Tuesday, came in incredibly close.
Former South Salt Lake Councilman Shane Siwik finished third in the Aug. 13 primary, just two votes behind political newcomer Derk Pehrson. In a Facebook post Wednesday, Siwik said he will proceed with a recount to be fair to the election process and his supporters.
"I am expecting the results to stay the same, however," Siwik said in his post. "And if they do, I am asking all of you to rally around Derk Pehrson."
The winner of the South Salt Lake recount will advance to the Nov. 5 general election ballot to face off against incumbent Mayor Cherie Wood, who finished first in the primary.
In West Valley City, No. 3 finisher Don Christensen requested a recount after the official tally narrowed the gap between him and No. 2 finisher Karen Lang to 13 votes.
The recount winner will go up against former state legislator and primary first-place finisher Ron Bigelow in November to determine who replaces Mayor Mike Winder to lead Utah's second-largest city.
Winder did not seek re-election.
Salt Lake County Clerk Sherrie Swensen said both recounts will take place Thursday morning; the results should be available by early afternoon.
Elsewhere in Utah, Cedar City's unofficial results on primary election night indicated the four candidates who would vie for two open council seats in the general election were, in order of vote totals, Ron Adams, Darin "Dutch" Workman, Scott Jolley and Ralph M. McAffee.
However, final results show Fred C. Rowley received more votes than McAffee, 869 to 850, so Rowley will advance to the Nov. 5 ballot in place of McAffee.

Barcelona, Spain • A car that tells your insurance company how you're driving. A bathroom scale that lets you chart your weight on the Web. And a meter that warns your air conditioner when electricity gets more expensive.
Welcome to the next phase of the wireless revolution.
The first wave of wireless was all about getting people to talk to each other on cellphones. The second will be getting things to talk to each other, with no humans in between. So-called machine-to-machine communication is getting a lot of buzz at this year's wireless trade show. Some experts believe these connections will outgrow the traditional phone business in less than a decade.
"I see a whole set of industries, from energy to cars to health to logistics and transportation, being totally redesigned," said Vittorio Colao, the CEO of Vodafone Group PLC, in a keynote speech at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The British cellphone company has vast international interests, including its 45 percent ownership stake in Verizon Wireless.
Companies are promising that machine-to-machine, or M2M, technology will deliver all manner of services, from the prosaic to the world-changing. At U.S. chipmaker Qualcomm Inc.'s booth here at the show, there's a coffeepot that can be ordered to start brewing from a tablet computer, or an Internet-connected alarm clock. A former president of Costa Rica is also at the show, talking about how M2M can save massive amounts of greenhouse gases by making energy use more efficient enough to bring mankind halfway to the goal of halting global warming.
The M2M phenomenon is part of the larger drive to create an "Internet of Things" a global network that not only links computers, tablets and phones but that connects everything from bikes to washing machines to thermostats. Machina Research, a British firm, believes there will be 12.5 billion "smart" connected devices, excluding phones, PCs and tablets, in the world in 2020, up from 1.3 billion today.
But how does this transformation happen, and who stands to profit?
First, the devices have to be able to connect. That's not a trivial undertaking, especially considering that people don't upgrade washing machines or renovate their homes as often as they change cellphones and PCs. One company at the show, a Los Angeles-based startup named Tethercell, has an ingenious solution for battery-powered devices: a "fake" AA battery that houses a smaller AAA battery in an electronic jacket. It can be placed in a battery compartment with other batteries. Within a distance of 80 feet, some smartphones and tablets can then signal the "battery" to turn the device on or off. For instance, parents whose kids have a lot of noisy toys can turn all of them off with the touch of a single button. A fire alarm could send a text-message warning that its battery is running low, rather than blaring an audio signal.

Hey all---Me and another buddy are planning a trip down to central america at the beginning of August for about 10 days. Is there a big difference in wave quality (specifically waves for bodyboarding) between the two places? We'll be going down primarily to surf...anybody have any opinions?
EDIT: I guess I should also mention that this'll be our first central america trip.

Sitepoint Members,What is the best image oiptimizer you know of? I have an image on my site that I really need to reduce another 50% if possible.
What have you tried so far? Photoshop and Fireworks obviously have some tools for that, but there are other tools that apparently do an even better job, like smush.it:
Personally at work I use Photoshop just because most of the images I get sent are compiled in Tifs or PSDs by the graphic designers so it's just easier but, I did run across an article (blog post) relevant to this conversation a while back while I was working on scaling down a compiled image and needed to know a lot more on the subject of image generation than I ever imagined I would.
You can find more information about it and two similar programs on PNGOut's [wikipedia page and you can find the program itself [URL="http://advsys.net/ken/utils.htm"]here](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PNGOUT).
EDIT: Oh, hey, look at that it's also third in Ralph's list.
I didn't know I was so spoiled. Gimp2 was just a little better than RIOT and Smush it didn't help much on this image. This is BMP image turned into a jpg image. Will BMP images work online?
RIOT should do the job fine, for a single image. try imgoptimize for batch optimization.
Yes, but the filesize of BMP files are huge in comparison. Stick with JPG or PNG.
ok. The reason why it's a bmp (Ctrl Print Screen) is because it's from a pdf (cdc.gov) Is there a better way to pull an image from a PDF?
If you have a program like Photoshop, you can extract all images in their original form. You should also be able to take screen shots in better formats (I'm on a Mac, though, so I can't advise about PCs).
I presume you could also convert any file type in Photoshop, but I've never dealt with bmps.
If you use the windows vista/7/8 snipping tool, you can save it as a png or jpg. If you use paint, you can do the same.
For a dedicated screenshot utility, I prefer to use greenshot, since I can easily crop, highlight, mark, and obfuscate before saving. However, if you don't work with screenshots often, this tool might not be all that useful for you.
To re-save/edit/compress/convert after the fact, Irfanview usually does the trick.
I gotta buy that photoshop once and for all. I think Greenshot is going to help me with another problem.
Hehe, not sure you can any more. You have to license it month to month.
Photoshop Elements (the lite version of photoshop) is still available as a one-time purchase: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements.html
Both Photoshop CS6 (the one-time purchase version) and Photoshop Creative Cloud (the monthly rental version) are currently available (no idea for how long, though).
CS6: http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-65158237-Photoshop-CS6/dp/B007R0RKV8CC: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CS75KKI
There's also [PaintShop Pro, which has been a reasonably popular and vastly less-expensive alternative to Photoshop. [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CorelDRAW"]CorelDraw ](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PaintShop_Pro)is also in the ring as an alternative, but I can't say I actually know anyone personally who uses it.
I'll have to live without it at $605. I didn't think it was that much.I got the image (figure 16 at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK98754/) down to 9k but it's a little fuzzy.
One thing worth trying is to save it at twice the required width and height and resize it in the browser. Get you better results on retina screens, too, without necessarily making the file size greater.
Photoshop is a good image optimizer . You can easily reduce the size of any image using this software. Open the image in photoshop, just press ctrl+ alt+C and set width and height of the image as per your requirements.
Online Image Optimizer is also good optimizer. Check it
You can still buy it, but you have to connect with a CSR for a link. Obviously, Adobe wants everyone to subscribe to their creative cloud.
File types supported by Fireworks: http://helpx.adobe.com/fireworks/kb/supported-file-formats-fireworks.htmlFile types supported by Photoshop: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-7758a.html
Adobe Photoshop is the gold standard for image editing. I doubt you'd find anything that does better.
In my openion photoshop is a best image optimizer...
You can try this software, that can be good..:)http://fileminimizer-pictures.en.softonic.com/

One of the world's luckiest 6-year-olds, at least this week, lives in Minnesota. This jaw-dropping custom bedroom renovation from Twin Cities builder Steve Kuhl is featured over at My Modern Metropolis:
The main feature of the room is the incredible floating pirate ship. Kuhl used 2×12 ribs to construct the hull of the ship, covering them with layers of 1/2 inch plywood to act as the planking. A bomb-proof blend of plaster and epoxy with integrated coloring was used simulate an old ship's hull.
But that's not all. The room is also decked out with a rope bridge that connects the pirate ship to the top of a jail cell, and a rope suspended from the ship's hull provides drop-in access to the closet. There's also a completely hidden spiral slide, that lets you travel downstairs in a more adventurous way.
They've also got a follow-on interview with Steve himself. I know I'm not the only thirty-something out there who's at least a bit jealous.


text: I've had to do this a few times already on my Nexus One, so I thought I'd tutorialize it for the greater good. Basically, if you haven't heard already, CyanogenMod is like the greatest thing to ever happen to Android. It provides a ton of goodies and really nice things that make your phone more powerful by an order of magnitude. It includes BusyBox, which is basically a really lightweight version of all of the core Linux/Unix utilities like "cp," "mv," "gcc," and more. Importantly, CyanogenMod includes the DropBear SSH client and server.
