It's a commonly held belief, even within the climate action advocacy community, that significant technological breakthroughs are necessary to harness enough clean, renewable energy to power our global energy demands.
Not so, says a new study published this month, which makes an ambitious case for "sustainable sources" providing 95 percent of global energy demand by mid-century.
This new analysis, "Transition to a fully sustainable global energy system," published in Energy Strategy Reviews, examines demand scenarios for the major energy use sectors – industry, buildings, and transport – and matches them up to feasible renewable supply sources.
Over on VICE's Motherboard, Brian Merchant dug into the study and put it into proper context.
It is entirely possible, using technologies largely available today, to power nearly the entire world with clean energy—but we need to conjure the will to make revolutionary strides in public policy and the scale of deployment.
His take is smart and thorough, and rather than excerpting him too heavily here, I'm going to urge you to go read his entire piece.
I'll admit, I opened the report with a bit of healthy skepticism. I've been spending a whole lot of time lately buried in EIA and IEA reports while working on an Energy 101 primer. The picture painted by the mounds of energy data and exhaustively-calcuated projections is not a pretty one, particularly as it portrays future demand.
Energy demand, you see, is growing exponentially, and that growth lies at the heart of the great global energy (and climate) challenge. You'd be awfully hard-pressed to find any energy experts out there – even the biggest boosters of renewables – who would argue that we could ever meet future needs with existing renewable technologies alone, if rates of consumption continue as they are.
So I was encouraged to see that this new "Transition" report addresses demand right off the bat. (Emphasis mine.)
The energy scenario we have presented combines the most ambitious efficiency drive on the demand side with strong growth of renewable source options on the supply side to reach a fully sustainable global energy system by 2050. Both are important: the transition cannot be achieved on the supply side alone.
This is key. As is clear in this overview graph from the report, for renewables to provide 95 percent of energy demand, global consumption would have to peak around 2020 and fall over time to levels just below where they were at the turn of the millenium.
It does have to be said that this is pretty ambitious thinking (and the authors say so themselves). This graph shows the report's projections next to a bunch of other reference cases, all of which land higher. (A quick aside for the real energy wonks out there: all of this Transition report's energy numbers are "final energy," not "primary energy.")
Fortunately, even these wildly ambitious reductions are possible, and the authors lay out case-by-case, sector-by-sector, how it could actually happen, mostly through efficiency and electrification. It must be emphasized: the drop in energy demand does not involve any consequent reduction in economic activity or quality of life.
It is imperative to understand that the reduction of total energy demand in this scenario is not derived from a reduction in activity. It depends primarily on the reduction of energy intensity through aggressive roll-out of the most efficient technologies.
We're talking about increased energy intensity in industry (more output per Joule input, you could say). We're talking about more plug-in hybrids and better batteries and better mass transit service urban hubs. We're talking about more telecommuting and buildings that don't leak heat and smarter shipping systems. We're not talking about shivering in a cold, dark home.
So where will the energy come from?
Even under this ambitious demand scenario, we're still going to need about 260 exajoules worth of final energy annually to power the planet. Where will it come from, and what do the report's authors count as "sustainable" energy sources?
In brief: solar (concentrated heat and power, and photovoltaic), wind (on- and offshore), hydro, geothermal (for heat and power), small amounts of wave and tidal, and a whole raft of bioenergy sources.
Now that, as Merchant put it, "is what an 'all-of-the-above energy strategy' looks like."
What about cost?
Here's where you – you pragmatist you – start thinking, that looks great, but could we ever afford it?
It's a worthwhile question, and one you can be sure that the fossil fuel apologists and politicians (plenty of overlap, I know) will be crowing on about. While this report focused predominantly on the "technical feasibility," and recognizes that it "does not necessarily present the most cost-efficient way of achieving this goal," it does refer to an accompanying publication that puts the bill at under 2 percent of global GDP during the investment-heavy early years.
While 2 percent of global GDP might sound like a lot, remember that Sir Nicholas Stern's landmark "Economics of Climate Change" report found that the "overall costs and risks of climate change will be equivalent to losing at least 5% of global GDP each year, now and forever. If a wider range of risks and impacts is taken into account, the estimates of damage could rise to 20% of GDP or more."
What's more, the 2 percent of global GDP is a short-term expense that itself pays off in terms of energy costs alone (putting climate aside, foolish as that may be). The Transitions report finds that "in the later years of the assessed time horizon, the net financial impact would be positive, i.e. the energy system proposed in this scenario would be significantly cheaper to operate by 2050 than a BAU system."
What's the hold-up?
In short: politics, perspective, ambition.
To achieve such a bold goal we need to combine aggressive energy efficiency on the demand side with accelerated renewable energy supply from all possible sources. This requires a paradigm shift towards long-term, integrated strategies and will not be met with small, incremental changes.
Now long-term thinking sure isn't our society's strong suit. If only a report like this was taken as seriously by the media as a totally non-sensical graph and hollow "plan" for "North American energy indepedence."

Thank you,
I'll study it as soon as I have the time.
I've seen many another such report and so I am extremely skeptical as regards the practicality of what is in this one…
David B. Benson replied on Permalink
I have started reading part 2
and on page 124 find such implausible assumptions that I'll have to wait to continue further on later.
I'm somewhat interested as the biomass component this report proposes seems incredibly high.
David B. Benson replied on Permalink
the biomass component is impossible. They left out the high cost of collecting and centralizing the biomass at the reactors or burners.
By substituting nuclear power plants for most of the biomass component devoted to electricity production and lessening, considerably, that portion used to produce transportation fuels the remainder of the plan, while highly ambitious, might be feasible.
I doubt it is the least cost way to establish a low (fossil) carbon civilization. I strongly suspect (for example) that replacing the concentrated solar power (CSP) by nuclear power plants (NPPs) would save a quite considerable sum. This is because CSPs are almost twice the cost of NPPs on an LCOE basis.
Biomass energy at point of production
Your belief that there is a "high cost of collecting and centralizing the biomass" is obviously false - especially in comparison to the massive cost of "collecting and centralizing" fossil fuels and uranium.
For example, many farms in Germany are now installing biogas units which process manure from the farm. Similarly, sewage treatment plants can do the same. Or waste incireation plants.
Nuclear offers no kind of solution because it is not economically viable and that is why it is in global decline as renewable growth accelerates.
David B. Benson replied on Permalink
I've carefully studied this. The German biogas is subsidized; see a recent Der Spiegel article. Sewage treatment is only possible after sewers are installed; check out the situation in India.
Off the top of my head: Vietnam is now building the first of 10 NPPs. China has many under simultaneous construction. UAE is having the South Koreans build 4 of their NPPs. Turkey is getting its first from the Russians. Jordan is selecting its first. South Africa and Chile are both starting by sendiing engineers off for training. Argentina is going to have another NPP. England is going to build several. France has one under construction and Finland is just starting site preparation for its second new reactor. In the USA there are 5 in various stages of construction. India is planning on 44 I think, with the first few just starting construction.
Bird replied on Permalink
Biomass Centralizing?
Do we need to centralize biomass? I'd just like permission to rig up a house for woodgas. A business idea might be to win the bid, in a council, to collect the rubbish, then use it for woodgas electricity generation. Gathering the rubbish together and centralizing it really doesn't seem to be that practical.
David B. Benson replied on Permalink
Collecting is centralizing
In the plan under discussion, a large proportion of the biomass is to be used to make transportation liquid fuels. That takes a substantial reactor.
Smaller reactors are less efficcient, wasting more of the biomass.
Bird replied on Permalink
Well thats not going to work is it. Its as though we are transporting everything with railroads and canals already built. Its diesel trucks that we would be moving this gear around in. It cannot add up to much with such inherent inefficiency. Coal wasn't much of an item until they had railways everywhere.
Talk about nukes are not nukes
You make the common mistake that the nuke fan club usually makes - confusing talk about nukes as though that means completed nukes. There has always been lots of talk about nukes but it rarely resuls in nukes being built to completion.
> "France has one under construction and Finland is just starting site preparation for its second new reactor."
Yes. The disastrous EPR projects that are billions over budget and years behind schedule.
What we know for certain is that nukes have been in global decline for years. Japan just announced it is abandoning nukes. France announced a 25% production in nuke capacity by 2025. Several other countries and corporations have announced they are no longer interested in nukes.
As The Economist recently put it, nuclear energy is "the dream that failed".
David B. Benson replied on Permalink
I posted listing some of the projects planned, commencing and well under way around the world. The net number of nuclear power plants is increasing.
Despite the difficulties with the first EPR in Finland, the Finns are planning on building another. Despite France's annoucned plan to scale back NPP reliance, they are going to finish the EPR under construction and then one more.
The Econmist always manages to get it wrong.
Reality does not match your beliefs.
Reality does not match your beliefs. Nukes are in global decline. That is a matter of documented fact. The decline started before Fukushima but has increased massively since. Your nuke dream is over.
There are "difficulties" with each attempt at the EPR in France, Finland and China. It's a disaster - but not unusual for building nukes, which usually go massively over schedule and budget. Many are abandoned completely
2008 World Nuclear Industry Status Report. "Eleven reactors, almost one-third of the total listed, have been under construction for more than 20 years. … Two-thirds of the under-construction units have encountered significant construction delays, pushing back officially announced start-up dates." http://thebulletin.org/web-edition/reports/2008-world-nuclear-industry-s...
I find The Economist more convincing than "David B. Benson".
David B. Benson replied on Permalink
the EPRs in China are proceeding well. As are the AP1000s there. As are the AP1000s in the US. As are the APR1400s in the UAE.
Things have changed considerably in the nuclear reactor construction business. You might care to actually learn about it rather than continuing to expose your ignorance.
Reality beats your fantasy
Problems seen in Olkiluoto-type project in China. "The first two European Pressurized Reactor (EPR) construction projects at Olkiluoto and in Flamanville, France, have been plagued by problems. Now it turns out that there have been similar setbacks with another EPR project, a double reactor in Taishan, southern China…" http://yle.fi/uutiset/news/2011/10/problems_seen_in_olkiluoto-type_proje...
Sorry to spoil your dreams, but that's life for you.
David B. Benson replied on Permalink
World Nuclear News is prefectly prepared to report actual difficulties and has with regard to Olkiluoto and Flammeville. As for Taishan
the civil works (done by a Chinese company) are nearing completion at #2 and I assume Areva is installing the actual reactor in #1 now.
Big construction projects almost always have some snags but there do not appear to be any major difficulties building NPPs the Chinese way.
Simple or troll?
> "World Nuclear News is prefectly prepared to report actual difficulties"
What has that got to do with your false claim that "the EPRs in China are proceeding well"?
You seem unable to follow a conversation. Then when you're proved wrong you simply assert the same false claim.

In the context of Tsunamis, Earthquakes and War an argument could be made that the nuclear reactors are dangerous. I think this is not necessarily the case. But this is not what you are talking about. Uranium expensive to transport? You have to be kidding man. Its the single most concentrated fuel in current commercial use. Biofuel so far is an energy drain. Plus its taking land out of food production so so far its a case of mass-murder. If you want to start out insulting you ought to have a command of the argument. So far you are writing checks your brain cannot cash.
Martin Vermeer replied on Permalink
David, the article you need
David, the article you need to discuss with is this one:
What I take away is that what makes the demand on biofuels so high is (quote):
Transport fuels where energy storage density is often a crucial factor; especially:
- Long distance road transport
- Aviation
- Shipping
Industrial fuels where electric or solar heating is insufficient; especially:
- Applications that require very high temperature, e.g. for industrial processes.
- Applications that require a specific energy carrier, e.g. a gaseous fuel or solid fuel. One example is the steel industry where the structural strength of a solid fuel is required.
All of these are 'hard': you would want to move to using electricity, but you don't manage because of the above restrictions. And then, nuclear doesn't help either. So if your belief is right that using biofuels for all this is unrealistic, it means that fossil fuels will be used.
(For the very high temp applications, burning electrolytically generated hydrogen might do. That would put nuclear and wind/solar in the running again. Also steel making using hydrogen is being studied. But not 'existing tech'.)
David B. Benson replied on Permalink
Can biomass make enough biofuel?
Martin Vermeer — Thank you. I don't see these studies from tThe Netherlands as paying enough attention to the costs associated with harvesting and centralizing for, say, pyrolysis and refining. Much of the resulting transportation fuels are then going to have to be consumed by the harvester and centralizer. The EROEI stops looking so good, one has to devote even more land to the biofuels effort and so on.
I'm not set up to do such a study myself but after having looked into the algae oil situation, I have serious doubts that algae will ever prove to be more than a boutique solution.
Too expensive to save human society?
What's the alternative? Massive climate destabilisation that will make a growing area of the planet uninhabitable, crops to fail, water shortages which will lead to wars and collapse of society.
But you think it will cost too much to avoid that?!

Debunking Jevons Paradox
The blog you cite is interesting, and it serves as a good warning that there are other factors that might limit the effect of the Jevons Paradox. 'Debunking', however, might be a stretch.
Desmog last year cited the Breakthrough Institute paper (http://thebreakthrough.org/archive/new_report_how_efficiency_can)
And this UK report (The Rebound Effect Report) is interesting
In the case of renewable energy technologies, they (hopefully) produce more energy than it took to manufacture, transport, install and operate the technology. I presented them below as being pollution diluters (as emissions are what we are concerned about). But as for being technologies that produce more energy from 'invested' energy, this is what might make one concerned about Jevons Paradox (they make the fossil fuel investe more 'efficient' by creating more energy output than the energy input). The blog cited above might make one reconsider this if economic factors like inflation are taken into consideration (as the technologies produce energy over the span of a couple of decades).
The difficulty, I think, is flipping between energy-talk and money-talk.
Renewables already winning
The Breakthrough Institute is not a credible or reliable source for anything, e.g.:
* Mark Lynas pens error-riddled, cost-less nuke op-ed (based on flawed data from Breakthrough Institute) http://thinkprogress.org/romm/2011/04/13/207880/mark-lynas-error-cost-nu...
And more debunking:
* The Jevons Paradox: Time to Send it The Way of the Dodo? http://www.energycircle.com/blog/2010/06/21/jevons-paradox-time-send-it-...
There is no "hopefully" about it - most renewable energy systems have higher EROEIs than fossils or nukes. As a result of the cost, time to deployment and lower CO2, renewables are rapidly expanding globally while nukes decline. That process will accelerate as renewables continue to fall in cost.

The Potential For A Drop In CO2 Levels Is The Big Threat.
"What's the alternative? Massive climate destabilisation that will make a growing area of the planet uninhabitable, crops to fail, water shortages which will lead to wars and collapse of society."
The problem with this story is that it has not the slightest scintilla of basis in science. Or even just in logic. If CO2 were to work as advertised it would have a slight calming effect on climate, by way of evening out temperatures, and of course it would be a stimulant to crop growth. But no-one has detected any CO2 warming effect at sea level and the more modern data is hopelessly fraudulent and corrupted.
If CO2 levels drop quickly, as they have done many times in the recent past, we will have famines. This is a very real near-time possibility. Really it amounts to a certainty.
Energy production has to be considered a big problem in its own right, and we don't want to be muddying the water with shadow government lies and science quackery.
Convincing in absence of science
Provided we ignore all national science academies and published science and believe crazy conspiracy theories, your claims are very convincing.
Bird replied on Permalink
Its conspiracy fact. Science
Its conspiracy fact. Science isn't about belief its about evidence. The people who you claim don't have the evidence don't have it. Are you involved in a conspiracy? No you are just stupid, but there is co-ordination at the top and this can be demonstrated.
Once again the fact remains that no evidence connects extra CO2 to warming. You cannot find the evidence, you do not have the evidence, you cannot track down anyone who has it. This is because it is not true, its simply something that people are lying about.
David B. Benson replied on Permalink
Oh dear, oh dear.
That extra CO2 leads to extra warming has been thoroughly studied and established by 1979.
Try studying Ray Pierrehumbert's "Principles of Planetary Climate". {It took me twice through and then another time for chapters 1 & 6.]
Bird replied on Permalink
You Are Lying
You are lying Benson. Pierrehumberts ideas on planetary climate are ludicrous. He after all ascribes to the flat earth Watts per square metre model.
Stop lying and admit you don't have the evidence. Why lie about it? What do you think it can achieve? You don't even have a proper CO2 construction. How can you make a causal link with something you don't have? You know you are lying.

Bluffing Doesn't Count
No you are not going to bluff your way out of it Benson. You don't have a CO2 reconstruction, you have no evidence for this fraud. If you say you have you are lying. This is a simple fact.
David B. Benson replied on Permalink
I strongly recommend you
study Physics 1 up to electricity & magnetism [which are not required to begin a study of plantetary climate]. Some understanding of electron orbitals will help when learning the optical properties of triatomic gases, such as CO2. Piereehumbert's book is particular good at this point but some prior understanding of the physical chemistry helps.
Bird replied on Permalink
I Strongly Recommend You Stop Lying
No no. You are still lying. You have no evidence for this claimed effect of CO2 on average temperatures at sea level. How could you? You don't even subscribe to a realistic CO2 reconstruction. PierreHumbert is an idiot, his paradigm doesn't work, and I know he's an idiot because I've talked to him. His bluff of writing a text-book when he has no clue about climate and weather doesn't constitute evidence for something you have no evidence for.
Now where is your CO2 construction? Where is your data and attribution study, linking temperature and CO2 in a causal way? Its absent. Quantum jive about orbitals that don't even represent a realistic model of the atom cannot save you here. I know you've got that electron-shell electron-jumping model which is held to release photons ex-nihilo, which race off at the speed of light for no reason. But stick with the reality that you have no evidence for the global warming fraud.
Mental pictures at the subatomic level do not substitute for evidence. Actually the photon is a myth too. And your model defies pretty well-known physical laws when you start trying to apply it to backradiation.
But within all this the fact must be acknowledged that you have no evidence.
David B. Benson replied on Permalink
I learned about
electron orbitals in a first course about semiconductors and transistors. Solutions to Schroedinger's equation can be pictured as orbitals or energy levels; I care not. But it does explain rather well the workings of semiconductor junction physics. Indeed, it explains quite well the rather complex optical properties of triatomic gases, but those are sufficiently complex that at least two separate sets of measured data are required for the details.
But I fear it is clear that you really need to properly understand the first part of college physics. There are many fine textbooks and in addition many instructors offer lecture notes freely on their website.
Basic climatology, I repeat, was thoroughly settled by 1979 (which means you are currently at least 33 years out-of-date).
Bird replied on Permalink
Stop Lying. Pretty Simple.
Its junk science and it cannot be used in the place of evidence. Even the quantum mechanics no longer accept it. You are lying about 1979 and you should stop lying.
Bird replied on Permalink
No Temperature Anomaly
It would be bad enough to be treating CO2 as the "God Of Gaps" in some supposed temperature anomaly. But you don't even have a temperature anomaly to tendentiously plug CO2 into it. The whole thing is farcical. Its not basic climatology. Its wrong climatology. It comes from the sort of goof-balls who think cyclones come out of tepid water.

The alternative is a plan
The alternative is a plan that makes economic sense. We can't solve the problem by throwing money at it, but we can solve the problem by throwing brains at it. What we need is an Apollo/Manhattan style project to develop non-fossil energy systems that are cheaper than the fossil fuels they replace.
Example: Cool Planet has a proprietary process that (they claim) can make gasoline out of Miscanthus biomass for a net input cost (including energy input) of 60 cents per gallon. Maybe they're talking through their hats, but imagine for a moment they can. Who in their right mind would by fossil fuel gasoline for $3.50 a gallon when biofuel gasoline costs a buck? That's how we win. We put the fossil fuel industry out of business, the same way the fossil fuel industry put the whale-oil industry out of business in the 19th century.
See also Robert Hargraves' new book, Thorium: energy cheaper than coal for another example.
Bird replied on Permalink
No Solution Possible Without Overthrowing Overlords
There are plenty of things that are going to work, but thats no good if the shadow government is pushing everyone into technologies that aren't going to work. Thorium will work. Tesla towers coupled with Dyson-Harrop sattelites will work. But they will be put down and degraded specifically because they will work, and solar panels are promoted because they are for the most part useless. The problems won't be solved until we are free of our overlords. As to the Manhattan and Apollo projects, they ought to show you why this is the wrong approach. Apollo was a fraud, and Manhattan didn't produce anything productive.
The shadow government through NASA lies and claims that comets are snowballs. This claim is to hide the ready electrical energy we could be pulling from the ionosphere if we broke free of them. Particularly in tropical areas. A Tesla towers is really a high-tech lightning rod.

the LCOE of wind turbines is less than that of NPPs until the required backups are considered. What one has to compare is the LCOE of wind+backup versus NPPs.

The pro-Syrian cyberhackers behind the recent attacks on major media outlets' Twitter accounts claim to be members of a grass-roots organization defending the honor of the nation, but are likely nothing more than government-backed cyberwarriors, some researchers say.
The hacks by the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) on Twitter reflect an intensifying effort in recent weeks to disseminate pro-Syrian propaganda and attack Syria's perceived enemies in the media. The emphasis marks an apparent shift for the group, which previously had focused more on attacking and defacing websites and Facebook pages of members of Syria's opposition and others they perceived as anti-Syrian, according to close observers of the group.
The most recent attack came Monday, with the SEA hacking into several Twitter accounts belonging to the British newspaper, The Guardian.
Shortly after, Twitter warned news organization in an e-mail that their accounts could be vulnerable. Twitter has been shutting down the latest versions of the official SEA Twitter channel (the group was on its 12th) as fast as the San Francisco-based company can find them.
Citing "several recent incidents of high-profile news and media Twitter handles being compromised," the company wrote that: "We believe that these attacks will continue, and that news and media organizations will continue to be high value targets to hackers."
Twitter hack victims have so far included CBS, NPR, and the BBC. Previously hacked organizations included Human Rights Watch, Reuters, Sky News Arabia, and even the FIFA World Cup organization. The AP and BBC both reported that "phishing" e-mails were sent to their staff about the same time accounts got hacked.
But the biggest "twit-hit" was on April 25, when the official Twitter account of the Associated Press was hijacked and used to tweet a hoax that the White House had been hit by bombs and President Obama injured. The US stock market immediately plummeted 145 points, the fake news erasing an estimated $200 billion in market value – at least for a few minutes – before it rebounded.
The group has now hit "basically every media outlet on the planet from ABC News, to Reuters, to now the Associated Press," Jared Keller, Bloomberg News social media director told the BBC.
What's behind the Twitter hacks is a bald effort to win attention for Syria's cause and to attack the nation's perceived enemies in the media, several close observers say.
Some researchers who have been tracking the SEA for years say the group appears to have at least "tacit support" from Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Others argue the group is operated out of Dubai by deep-pocketed supporters of the Syrian regime. Still others say the connection with the Assad regime is quite direct.
"The SEA definitely has a close relationship with the regime," says Amjad Baiazy, an independent cyber-researcher in London who was held in detention by the regime in 2011. "I can't say if they are also supported by certain individuals, but I can say they are funded by the regime. There are also strong indications that members of the group are trained by Iranian [information technology] experts."
The fact that the group's website is hosted on the national Syrian network, where local web hosting is highly politicized, indicates at the very least "tacit support" from the Assad regime, according to Helmi Noman, a senior researcher with Citizen Lab, a cyber-research center at the University of Toronto.
Such "local hosting of sensitive content indicates state approval or at least tolerance of the content and the people behind the content," Mr. Noman writes in an e-mail interview. Even so, "I do not have information that suggests that the SEA is a Syrian state operation, but the tacit support which we have documented can potentially amount to sponsorship."
It is significant, as well, that President Assad thanked the group in a major televised speech in 2011, which Noman calls "a prerequisite political blessing without which such a group with questionable activities cannot operate."
In that speech to Damascus University, Assad likened online cyberwarriors to his best troops: "The army consists of the brothers of every Syrian citizen," he said. "Young people have an important role to play at this stage, because they have proven themselves to be an active power. There is the electronic army, which has been a real army in virtual reality."
When the domain names of the SEA were seized last month by US authorities, the SEA survived the interruption by launching a new country code top-level domain name – sea.sy – for its website, Noman writes. Doing so, "implies that the national agency in charge of domain name registration does not find the SEA's hacking and compromising activities objectionable," he notes.
Still, the SEA has steadfastly denied on its website any links to the Syrian regime, portraying itself as just a group of self-organized volunteers.
"We are a group of enthusiastic Syrian youths who could not stay passive towards the massive distortion of facts about the recent uprising in Syria, and this distortion is carried out by many Facebook pages that deliberately work to spread hatred and sectarian intolerance between the peoples of Syria to fuel the uprising," the group's description says on its website.
Distancing itself is not surprising, the researchers say.
"The state needs this distance so that it cannot be held legally, politically, or even financially responsible for the SEA's activities," Noman writes. "On the other hand, I won't be surprised if the Syrian institutions at some point defend their support [for] the SEA, arguing that their activities come in the context of a legitimate cyberwar. In fact, that is how the local media is portraying them in its celebratory reports which I have been looking at."
The SEA has shifted from defacing political and mostly apolitical websites to targeting the media, which it perceives as hostile to the Syrian regime. The SEA, for instance, has not targeted "friendly" Russian or Iranian media, observers say. The group also likes media attention, and compromising the online presence of media outlets amplifies their exposure to the media, they agree.
"Basically they want to become famous to tell their story to the international community," says Mr. Baiazy. "To do this, they have to catch attention. So they target, for example, the Twitter account for Reuters. Believe it or not, they actually are trying to leave a positive impression about Syria."
Baiazy, who was imprisoned in Syria in 2011 and interrogated about his online activities, says those questioning him were very young and barely computer literate. If so, it remain a question about the far more sophisticated actors also said to be part of the Syrian Electronic Army, which has been systematically and clandestinely luring opposition sympathizers with tainted video links in e-mail, fake Skype encryption tools, and tainted online documents.
Those hackers believed to be allied to Syria's government have deployed a fairly sophisticated array of powerful spyware with names like DarkComet, backdoor.bruet, and Blackshades. Available on the Internet, these malware are used to infiltrate the personal computers of opposition figures and rights activists and send back information on their friends and contacts as well as passwords, cybersecurity experts say.
Also of note, The Guardian reports that defectors from inside the SEA claim many in the organization moved last year from Damascus to a secret base in Dubai funded by Assad's billionaire cousin, Rami Makhlouf, who controls it.
Pro-Assad activists are said to receive $500 to $1,000 for attacks on major Western targets – a huge sum for most Syrians, The Guardian reported.

Chef Roberto Martin wasn't vegan (but I definitely still like him) when he took the job of creating meals for Ellen and Portia. In fact, he was concerned that he wouldn't know how to please a vegan. But he did what every good omni chef should do: He took the same flavors he used in meat dishes and used them in vegan ones. He made real food, not hippie, healthy crap. Now he's sharing some of the ultimate power couple's favorite recipes in this full-color, hardback book.
On first flip-through, I knew I'd have a hard time deciding what to try first. The photos of Chick'n Pot Pie, Faux Pho, creamy Mac 'n' Cheese, Tofu Crab Cakes, and Beluga Lentil Caviar on Blini are absolutely drool-inducing. But when I stumbled upon the Southern Fried Chick'n, I knew what to do:
For one, it's Southern food, and y'all know that's my bag. But this vegan fried chicken is different from any other for one awesome reason — it has skin!! In a genius experiment, Martin tried rolling Gardein in rice paper spring roll wrappers to give the meat a skin similar to the skin on animal fried chicken. It's battered with a seasoned flour mixture and a Tabasco-laced cashew cream. And then it's fried in hot oil. Look inside:
Now it's been a very long time since I've eaten chicken skin (more than 17 years!), but this is how I remember it. This recipe truly would impress a carnivore, I'm sure. I also love how Martin uses Gardein in many of his recipes. While I love homemade seitan (and call for it in many of the recipes in my own cookbook), I also love recipes that come together in minutes. Martin's recipes are quick and easy, and they still feel gourmet.
On the side, I made Martin's Creamed Spinach:
It should really be called creamed spinach and peas since there's as much peas as spinach. But regardless of its name, this dish was delish. The veggies are whisked into a milk gravy. So good! I've never had dairy creamed spinach, but I'm sure this dish would impress omnis as well. Since Martin relies on simple preparations and universal flavors, these are perfect for

"The Forest Fire/The Lost Bird"
When a forest fire comes to woods not far from the family nest at Pteranodon Terrace, the family takes the Dinosaur Train to visit a nearby area where a fire has already been, and the Conductor leads the kids on a Nature Tracker hike through the woods to see how new life is growing back - even after the forest fire's devastation. Buddy and Tiny ride the Dinosaur Train for a playdate with their old friend Petey Peteinosaurus, and learn that the train has added a new Aviary Car, for their various flying passengers. Suddenly, they are joined by a lost bird named Judy Jehelornis, who was displaced by the recent forest fires, and can't remember where her home is. D

Tatsuhiro Kubo
Tokyo, Japan
Class Year:
Prior Education:
University of Tokyo
Bachelor of Arts
What I Did Before Law School:
Before coming here I had been working as an associate lawyer at an international law firm for around six years and was involved in domestic and cross-border M&A transactions as well as commercial and employment litigation.
Why I Chose Penn Law:
Through my working experience, I came to realize that in order to be a fully engaged international business lawyer, I needed to gain deeper understanding of business and common law concepts and practices. I chose Penn Law because I was strongly interested in the cross-disciplinary study offered. I chose to obtain the "Wharton Business Law Certificate" and experienced several business school courses in addition to Law School courses. I could not experience them if I did not choose Penn Law.
My Best Experience at Penn Law:
Everything I experienced here is special. Especially, studying and playing with new friends from all over the world is invaluable experience.
Professor Who Influenced Me Most:
Professor Stuart Diamond, teaching "Negotiation and Dispute Resolution". In every class, a certain negotiation situation is given and each student is assigned to play a role of a party involved in the negotiation situation. In addition, every week we are required to have at least one real-life negotiation and report the result of and lessons from such negotiation. Through these practical and real experiences, I could test my negotiation style and skill and learn how to improve them. His book "Getting More" is very interesting and practical. I enjoyed his classes very much and got many hints to improve my negotiation skills and to "get more" in my real life.
My Favorite Course:
"Corporations" by Professor Jill Fisch and "M&A" by Professor Edward Rock. The contents of their classes are very practical. I came to a U.S. Law School to study common law concepts and practices and these courses directly hit my needs.
My Favorite Philadelphia Moment:
Cycling through Schuylkill River Trail.
What I'm Most Proud Of:
My decision to choose Penn Law.
My Extracurricular Activities at Penn Law:
Having home parties to drink and chat with my classmates and to learn different cultures.
My Favorite Place or Activity on the University Campus:
Wall climbing at Pottruck gym and reading books, drinking coffee and chatting with classmates at the Law School's courtyard.

Does anybody know the command to forward ports in the the Cisco IOS? Thanks.
Assuming I am understanding you question correctly, if you are using a dynamic assigned address, you will have to do a static NAT translation to the dynamic address. The command below will do that for you:
ip nat inside source static udp 192.168.0.100 2385 interface Dialer1 2385
Just swap the 192.168.0.100 with the address of the machine you are opening up, pick udp or tcp for the type and change the 2385 to the port number that you want to forward.
Just enter the command in the config mode, you don't do it on any interface, just in the root of the config mode. Also, I have assumed that the dialer interface you are using is Dialer1 - change it if you are using another name for the dialer interface.If I am not understanding your question correctly let us know and maybe me or someone else can help, since I do not have much experiance with cisco IOS's.
Don\'t be a bitch! Use Slackware.
forward ports? port mapping, maybe? Please explain what you are trying to accomplish and maybe we can help you out.... Thanks.
Mankind have a great aversion to intellectual labor; but even supposing knowledge to be easily attainable, more people would be content to be ignorant than would take even a little trouble to acquire it.
- Samuel Johnson
are you reffering to IP default gateway?
Cisco IOS runs on routers, Cisco CAT OS runs on switches, Switches can forward port traffic, Routers will route it based on destination IP.
Please be more specific as to what you need to accomplish.

\"Don\'t make your lack of planning my emergency.\"
I just want to point ports 20-23 to my linux box. Im using a cisco router.
Good question, I would suggest heading over to http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/ and
bookmarking that site. I have read a large amount of the material there and consider it essential to 'Ubering' up on my
Cisco/Network skills.
Get OpenSolaris http://www.opensolaris.org/
ip nat inside source static tcp "external IP" 23 "internal IP" 23
ip nat inside source static tcp "external IP" 20 "internal IP" 20
the external ip should be the router ip the internal should be your lunux box

Running Recovery; Rebooting My Body and Mind... even if you don't want to!
Recently, I've been on a little, somewhat forced, running hiatus. The past few weeks have been filled with some interesting muscular issues, traveling, and friends in town. This "time-off" reminded me that sometimes you actually become a better runner when you're not running. It's valuable to step back from anything you do and analyze it.
Since running the Big Sur Marathon, I have been experiencing quite a few unusual (for me) muscular issues; leg cramps (hamstring and calf), plantar fasciitis and a really bad lower back situation that lasted for 2 days. Everything is clearing up but it was definitely a good reality check about the importance of taking a step back and recovering properly.
After the Marathon, I skipped too many short runs and cross training. I was drinking more alcohol and still heading out for 10+ hilly miles and not recovering properly. I crashed and burned. I was forced to stop running and doing any kind of training for the past 4 days. This was difficult because like most 30 yr old males I enjoy feeling invincible! I took these 4 days in stride (like a long run) and tried to put the time to good use. Now I am ready to come back stronger. I have been reading ChiRunning (to find out what the hype was all about) and some other running books. I am focusing on what running means to me and how I will move forward from this low point. In addition to my muscles feeling ready to move, my running "head space" is refreshed and I know this will power me through some high mileage. I'm back.

Difference between revisions of "Vitoria-Gasteiz"
Revision as of 11:23, 17 April 2007
Vitoria-Gasteiz is located in the heart of the Basque Country in Spain, 66 km south of Bilbao, 114 km from San Sebastian and 351 km from Madrid.
Vitoria-Gasteiz is the political capital of the Basque since the 20th of May of 1980. Spanish is the main language, but Basque language is common and English is not spoken everywhere. The Basque language is called Euskera and nobody knows exactly the origin of this language.
Visitor information: Tourist office at Plaza General Loma 1 is open daily from 9 am till 7 pm, closed at midday.
Get in
You can visit Vitoria-Gasteiz coming from Bilbao Airport (Loiu) on a toll road or using public transport (Autobuses La Unión). Vitoria-Gasteiz has a small Airport (Aeropuerto de Foronda) 8 km north of the town with a few flight destinations.
Ryanair has flights from Vitoria to Dublin and London Stansted. Currently the air fares are very low.
Get around
The Festivals:
Two new shopping malls were opened in the north of Vitoria on the road going to Bilbao comprising grocery, DIY, cinemas, bars and everything else you need. Or go to the traditional small shops in the town center such as Calle Dato. This is the place where you find Vitoria's best shops and bars as well.
Leather and shoes is always an option in Spain and especially in Vitoria. Ayestaran located in Calle Dato is a place where you can find nice stuff. Sadly, it is expensive.
Corte Ingles is Spain's flagship retailer and the store is located in the center of the town: you can probably find everything you want, but it is pricy by Spanish standards.
Traditionally you can have a few small drinks in the bars around the town center and enjoy this with some tapas. Usually every bar has one speciality and it is interesting to taste them and then you go to another bar. The boiling point for bar visits is at 2 pm just before lunch time. The Basque cuisine is one of the best in Spain and Vitoria has restaurants in all categories.
Around the town center there is a bar every few meters. Some are designed for younger people other do all ages.

Demo of Orange's hand-wired Custom Shop valve head being put through the paces
It's true that the Orange CS50 Custom Shop 50 is a relatively no-frills affair. But it's stripped-down simplicity enables it to do just about everything you could reasonably expect from a 50-watt, four-valve amp head, and quite possibly, more.
Watch as the CS50′s tone veers from smooth and glassy to vintage overdrive muscle at the flick of a pickup switch in this demo video from our friends at Guitarist.

For the first time in a calendar year, the Arizona Cardinals are above the .500 mark.
The Cardinals got another dominant performance from their defense in a 22-6 win over the Carolina Panthers at University of Phoenix Stadium Sunday.
Here are six things that stood out to me from Sunday's Cardinals' victory.
Welcome back, D-Wash – Last Monday, general manager Steve Keim told Doug and Wolf on Arizona Sports 620 that he was going to greet inside linebacker Daryl Washington at the front door of the team's Tempe training facility with big hug. Washington had missed the Cardinals' first four games due to a suspension for a violation of the league's substance abuse policy. The suspension is now over, and Washington certainly came to play in his 2013 debut with two sacks, nine tackles and an interception. The Cardinals missed Washington's athleticism in pass coverage in the season's first four weeks, but he did so much more than that in his return to the lineup.
Who's it gonna be? – Cards' cornerback Patrick Peterson was last week's NFC Defensive Player of Week 4 after a two-interception game against Tampa Bay. There's a really good chance that particular award stays in Arizona for a second straight week. Washington, Calais Campbell and Karlos Dansby will get consideration for the hardware after solid games. Campbell had two sacks, one of which happened in the end zone for a safety, and he forced a fourth-quarter fumble that led to the Cardinals' last touchdown. Dansby had, you guessed it, two sacks, an interception and a pass breakup.
More Ellington, please – Rookie sixth-round pick Andre Ellington has proven to be one of the shrewdest late-round picks in the National Football League to this point. Ellington had 52 yards on just seven carries and caught four passes for 31 yards Sunday. His workload grows a little each week, you would think that by the midway point of the season, he'll be getting more touches on offense than starter Rashard Mendenhall. I'm all for it. Ellington has a rare burst that Cardinals fans haven't seen from the running back spot since, well, let's just say it's been a long time.
Too many picks – It wasn't all sunshine and candy Sunday for the Cardinals. Thanks to the defensive effort, the team was able to win despite three interceptions from quarterback Carson Palmer. The veteran, who has had a a penchant for turnovers during his career, has been intercepted seven times in the last three games and nine times overall — which projects out to almost 29 picks over the course of a 16-game schedule. The Cardinals will struggle to score in games where they don't turn the ball over this season — so the picks need to stop.
The kicking game – Man, Dave Zastudil is a good punter. The left-footer from Ohio U. averaged just under 50 yards per punt Sunday, planted half of his kicks inside the Panthers' 20-yard line and had a ridiculous net average of 48.3 yards. It was his highest net average in a single game since Week 2 of the 2008 season when he was with Cleveland (52.8 yards). And after being in the doghouse for much of the preseason, Jay Feely has acquitted himself rather nicely in the last few games. The veteran was 2-for-2 on field goal attempts Sunday, including a 50-yarder with 3:38 to go that made it a two-possession game. For the season, Feely is 7-for-8 on field goal attempts, so maybe that challenge from Arians in the preseason worked.
It's not 1985 – The Wave? Seriously? I had to check my calendar to make sure I hadn't been transported back in time via DeLorean when Cardinals fans started doing the Wave in the second half. Did the people who started Sunday's version leave the game and then see how many people they could fit into a phone booth? Or did they just retire to the homestead to eat live goldfish? The Wave is obviously outdated, but it's even worse to do it WHEN YOUR TEAM IS OFFENSE! Fan behavior 101: When your team is on defense, unleash hell. When your team is offense, shut up until something good happens. Capische?

"Motivation and Exciting" is a highly motivating business/corporate track
similar to many current adverts.
It starts out with a catchy piano and builds more instruments like orchestral strings, until it reaches a powerful climax. After a breakdown where it goes back to the intro piano theme to build up again to a second climax before it comes to the romantic end.
This track would also work particularly well in conjunction with a voice over.

LONDON, Sept. 2 (UPI) -- Sewer officials in London said a flooding problem was traced to a "fatberg" the size of Boeing 747 plane beneath a residential neighborhood.
Dave Dennis, Thames Water sewer operations manager, said the blockage was comprised of cooking fats that had been poured down the city's drains and hardened along with debris including wet wipes, tennis balls and pieces of wood.
"We have 67,108 miles of sewers, and that's a lot of pipe to keep clear," Dennis said. "We spend 12 million pounds a year tackling blockages, most of them formed because people have tipped cooking fats down the drain and wet wipes down the loo. The sewers serve an important purpose -- they are not an abyss for household rubbish."
Dennis said workers used high-powered jets to break up the fat and clear the blockage beneath a street in Shepherd's Bush, West London.
"Fat goes down the drain easily enough, but when it hits the cold sewers, it hardens into disgusting fatbergs that block pipes," he said.
"We have found all sorts in this sewer -- from tennis balls to planks of wood," Dennis said. "It goes without saying they shouldn't be in those pipes. London -- bin it, don't block it."

text: I just got the Droid 2, and the screen is farther apart from the keyboard than the Droid 1 is. Is that supposed to be the case? I got it in a box where it had jostled around (no padding inside), so I'm afraid it may have separated the screen farther than normal. I'm not seeing how to make it closer to the keyboard, as pressing on it doesn't affect it in any way. There's a lot of space there and I'm afraid all kinds of things could get caught in there. It's not flimsy or wobbling around though, but it does appear to be a bit unevenly spaced from side to side.

Full version of Ichiban no Takaramono, yay! Because I kinda love that song, I went ahead and transcribed and translated the whole thing.
Spoiler for Kanji:
Spoiler for Romaji:
Spoiler for English translation:
...Also, I suppose this last episode of the anime explained why they felt the need to add "Yui ver." to the title. Turns out there really was another version... Which I really hope is on the OST.

Wow... I actually cried a little listening to full Yui version of Ichiban no Takaramono after having read the lyrics, it's the most beautiful song I've heard in since something from Clannad; I really love the song.
I've comment on rest of the songs when I am not being so emotionally moved by this song; this song alone is the worth the CD .

I'm not that emotinal when I heard Ichiban no Takaromono...yet. I guess waking up early and listened to that song at that time is not that good for my emotional capability..
I'm still having trouble with all this Yui ver. song of Iwasawa's one, OP and ED... but I guess it's not that bad either. It certainly feels different though..

I <3 My Soul, Your Beats Yui version is great ; also an official mix between it and original would epic.
Crow song I agree with previous that Yui's version isn't quite as good; though it got better as the song went on, just kinda of started off awkwardly compared to the original.
Her Alchemy on the other hand is awesome , I prefer Yui's to original for it.
My Song, Yui Version is pretty good, though it has good bit different feeling than the original did, I like it though, not sure which of the two I prefer for it.
Of the three new songs, I thought Run with wolves, and 23:50 were both excellent songs. Morning Dreamer isn't bad, though it's much more calming, and peaceful than most of the GirlsDeMo songs, it feels like it could have been a HTT song . Not that's a bad thing though.
I think that covers my thoughts on album since other songs were same as the single versions correct?

It just doesn't seem right to me that Yui has a version of "My Song." It's Iwasawa's song and that's what makes it so powerful. Even as a homage, it doesn't seem very appropriate.
I prefer Iwasawa's originals to Yui's covers. LiSa's voice just sounds really jarring compared to Marina.
The rest is good, I suppose. LiSa is a decent singer.

I about forgot Yui's version of Brave Song , was rather interesting to here, since it's so energetic compared to the original. Overall I liked it, but felt the original for Brave Song was more fitting for the feeling of the songs.

Agreed that the songs originally sang by Iwasawa/Marina were better left alone... imo Yui/LiSa's vocals felt a little high-pitched (more suited to j-pop?) compared to Marina's deeper voice.... on that note, would love for them to release a cover of Yui's songs done by Iwasawa/Marina. Since they're already milking this franchise for all it's worth after all...
otoh, felt the opening and ending themes were brilliantly covered by Yui. Really rockin' the guitar riffs...

Though I would like to hear Little Brave, Thousand Enemies, or Shine Days done by Iwasawa/Marina. Especially Thousand Enemies since it was a song Iwasawa wrote, but never performed.
Edit: Also GirlsDeMo's Brave song is growing on me, I really like it after listening to it a bit more.

Somebody has put out a full album of Girls Dead Monster remixes. Pretty interesting although not all the vocals on the songs are in sync.
Girls Dead Monster & Aoi Tada - Brave Song
Yui & Iwasawa - My Song
Girls Dead Monster & Lia - My Soul, Your Beats! (I don't know why they compressed the piano in the beginning)
Girls Dead Monster & Lia - My Soul, Your Beats! (Lia vocals only)

So I decided to start listening to the soundtracks from this anime, and well, I can't believe how addicted I am now.... The songs... they're so beautiful~!
edit: $30-$40 for an album?? Is that the usual cost for OST's?

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 2, 2013) – After missing a game-tying layup on Thursday night against Northern Kentucky, a distraught Jarvis Jones (Memphis) said he was unable sleep after the game. Well, Jones should sleep like a baby after his performance Saturday afternoon.
ETSU's lone senior guard scored a career-high 36 points in a spectacular performance that included three straight made 3-pointers in overtime, lifting a short-handed ETSU men's team past Atlantic Sun Conference rival Lipscomb 90-88 inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.
The Bisons, who dropped to 8-14 overall, 3-8 in A-Sun play, had an opportunity to tie the game at the buzzer in overtime, but Deonte Alexander's shot missed the mark and the Bucs grabbed the rebound. With the win, ETSU improves to 7-17 overall, 5-6 in league play.
"I had to redeem myself after the other night. I was so frustrated I couldn't even sleep," said Jones, who despite the disappointing final play set his previous game high with 23 points in Thursday's loss to NKU. "We've played a lot of close games this year, so I knew I would get another chance. I'm just glad my teammates had confidence in me, and let me have a chance to do this."
The Buccaneers – who were without the services of junior forward Hunter Harris (Nashville) who is attending a family medical issue – trailed by as many as 10 points in the second half before going to their "white" full-court press with just over six minutes left in regulation. That defensive switch paid immediate dividends as ETSU produced a 14-4 run to tie the game at 74-74.
From there, both teams traded the lead four times before a Jones 3-pointer gave the Bucs a 79-77 edge with 17 seconds left. Alexander then tied it at 79 on a pair of free throws with eight seconds remaining, and later stole the ball from Jones with three seconds left on the clock only to miss a game-winning layup attempt at the buzzer.
In overtime and already missing Hunter's services, the Bucs were forced to play without three post players – junior Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.), sophomore forward John Walton (Memphis) and freshman Lester Wilson (Knoxville) – all of whom fouled out during regulation. ETSU head coach Murry Bartow employed a group of guards at that point, which included Jones, sophomore Rashawn Rembert (Tampa), and freshmen Petey McClain (Mobile, Ala.), Mario Stramaglia (Birmingham, Ala.) and Yunio Barrueta (Miami, Fla.).
That group – which did not have a player taller than 6-foot-4 – held its own against a much larger Lipscomb team in the final minutes and in overtime, ultimately helping the Bucs hold on.
"That was a fun win," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, whose team has now won four straight Saturday league games. "I'm so proud of our guys, especially the last five that was out there. They did what they had to do, and I'm so happy for Jarvis to bounce back like that and make the plays we needed before and during overtime."
Along with Jones, the Bucs got 11 points each from Wilson, Rembert, Stramaglia and Walton. Meanwhile, Lipscomb had a team-high 21 points from Martin Smith, while his brother Malcolm Smith netted 18, Alexander finished with 16, and Stephen Hurt added 11.
The Bucs will return to action Thursday evening on the road at Florida Gulf Coast with tip set for 7 p.m. in Fort Myers, Fla. For more on ETSU men's basketball throughout the 2012-13 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.

I'm back working on the pages about the farms and farmers of Wing, hoping to have at least one hamlet ready for the August update to the website. However I need a bit of help unravelling the GATES family (specifically the line that came to Wing from Aston Abbots, i.e. the line where Baron appears as a forename) in the early 20th century. If there are any descendants or relatives out there who could share information with me, please please email me at email@example.com as I'd love to get it resolved.

GATES help
2 comments:
- Purple Heather said...
Hi Alex
Lavinia Gates (b. 1824 in Aston Abbots) married William Windmill (b. abt 1822 in Wing) on 13 Nov 1845 in Wing.
William was living with his parents William and Mary Windmill in the Queens Head pub in Wing at the point of his marriage.
This is a bit of a distraction to your Aston Abbots Gates query but shows that one of them moved to Wing over 50 years before the period you're looking at.
Hope this helps,

One more thing - slight tangent on this family.
Their first son was John Gates Windmill. He grew up, moved to London and worked as a chemist.
He was also a bigamist as a lost cousin of mine has found out - she has found no death record or record of divorce from his first wife Louisa Sleath before he marries Emily Sarah Page in 1872.

melzz needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 76 designs submitted by 26 freelance designers.
otilas is a Sydney based web development studio working with one of the hottest up and coming design studio's on some really cool web applications due to launch in 2009.
We are in the process of building our online presence and need a logo to kick start our visual identity.
On Completion - Art Work submitted in hi-res VECTOR .ai Illustrator file with any and all original font files zipped. The logo must be suitable for both web and print.
Use flat colours and limit the number of colours used in the logo.
Read the brief for more details.
*** NOTE: The brief has minor updates (10-Dec-08) ****
PLEASE NOTE: ratings are based on the appropriatness of your logo to our business not the quality of the design if we lower your rating or eliminate your logo it's not personal it just means it is not the direction we want to go. In the case of a lowered rating it means after more consideration we have decided it's not the look we are after 3 star's might mean you are getting close but not 100% there yet. We appreciate the time you take to enter.
We are passionate about clean and simple UI and we would like our logo to reflect this. We pride ourselves on quality code and usable interfaces.
we want something memorable that encapsulates the meaning of the work yet remaining edgy.
We don't have a colour scheme yet but blues or greens incorporated in the logo would be nice, we will probably give a little more direction on colour after we've seen a few entries.
We love fonts like "Helvetica Neue" (in no way are you restricted to helvetica neue) but little touches to fonts to make the logotype look very unique (so customized fonts) will get you bonus points.
On Completion - Art Work submitted in hi-res VECTOR .ai Illustrator file with any and all original font files zipped.
Here are a few examples that we like:
- http://99designs.com/contests/12342…ies/871929

- http://99designs.com/contests/15002…es/1096042
- http://99designs.com/contests/15002…es/1095887
So get your design hats on we can't wait to see what you come up with
- otilas should be all lowercase - Clean & Professional yet a little edgy - Conveys strong brand identity - Tested against various backgrounds, Dark & Light - We want a stand-alone identity too -- like the Nike tick that will be synonymous with the otilas brand
- NOTE: we don't want the nike tick but just the idea of an icon that can standalone and easily identifiable
- which will be also suitable for icons and favicons etc
- Conveys strong brand identity
- Gradient
- 3D effects - we don't want 3d graphics in the logo
- Massive reflections. A slight reflection is ok but if you want to do reflections we also need to see how it would look without reflections
- Something that doesn't strike you as memorable and easy to remember
- Something that looks like it was made in Microsoft Paint!
- Cartoony look
- Too many colors
- No over sized Logos as all designs must be able to fit onto business cards & invoices.
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.
