SCons / Release_Team
The SCons wiki has moved to https://github.com/SCons/scons/wiki/Release_Team
Table of Contents
SCons Release Team
Basically, anyone who has time and is interested can participate. Since we're planning to use the normal dev@scons mailing list for most of the release discussions, we hope others will be encouraged to participate (even if it's only to comment occasionally). (There will also be a release@scons mailing list for admistrivia.)
The membership of the release team is kept on the group page; if you want to join, just ask anyone on the list to add you. And, of course, if you want to resign, just remove your name from the group page.
The release team will conduct its business on the normal email@example.com mailing list. The goal is to keep decisions open and transparent, as well as encourage others to participate. The informal recommendation is to prefix release-team-related messages with
RELEASE: in the
Subject: line. If the traffic gets too heavy or discussions too specialized, we can create a separate mailing list if/when it seems necessary.
Web Site
The project site at tigris.org has a page at http://scons.tigris.org/roadmap.html that was intended to be the go-to place for information about upcoming releases. The lists of upcoming releases and their imagined contents were pretty much fantasies soon after the page was created. We should clean that up (or create a different--wiki?--page if that's better) and update it regularly to reflect release policy discussions.
Policy discussions
Release activities
Responsibility for actually "pushing the buttons" to release a new version will rotate among team members, so we can spread the knowledge, and provide backup when someone isn't available. Release instructions will be on the wiki:
- Major_Release_HOWTO: Step-by-step instructions for a major release (0.98, 0.99, 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, etc.)
- Minor_Release_HOWTO: Step-by-step instructions for a minor release (0.97.1, 0.97.90, 1.0.1, etc.)
- Checkpoint_Release_HOWTO: Step-by-step instructions for a checkpoint release (0.97.0d20070809, 0.97.1r2334, etc.)
Team members should update the instructions as necessary when releasing a new version, for clarity as well as content. (If anything in the instructions puzzles you, it will probably puzzle someone else, too.)

Happ hurt, but Blue Jays prevail over Rays
St. Petersburg, FL – Maicer Izturis snapped a tie game with a solo homer in the top of the ninth inning and behind a spirited effort from the bullpen, the Toronto Blue Jays rallied for the second straight day to upend the Tampa Bay Rays, 6-4, in the second test of a four-game set.
A terrifying moment occurred in the second inning when Jays starter J.A. Happ was taken off the field by stretcher after taking a line drive from Desmond Jennings off the side of his head. He remained conscious and was brought straight to the hospital.
"Unfortunately, that's part of the game," said Toronto reliever Brad Lincoln, who took over for Happ on the mound. "Stuff happens like that. Thoughts and prayers go out to him, but you've still got to go out there and compete and play the game."
Forced to dig into its bullpen early, four Toronto relievers combined for 7 2/3 scoreless innings, with Steve Delabar (3-1) tossing two innings of one-hit ball. Casey Janssen worked a perfect ninth to notch his ninth save.
Colby Rasmus hit a two-run homer, Adam Lind went 2-for-4 with a solo shot and two runs scored, while Jose Bautista and Melky Cabrera each plated a run to help Toronto earn back-to-back victories at Tropicana Field for the first time in almost five years.
Joel Peralta (0-2) was tagged with the loss for the Rays, who blew a seven-run lead in an 8-7 loss to the Jays on Monday. The Tampa Bay bullpen spoiled a solid start from Roberto Hernandez, who tossed six innings of one-run ball and struck out seven.
"It's a bad stretch for almost everyone in the bullpen right now," Peralta said. "We're probably trying too hard. And sometimes the harder you try, the worse it goes."
After Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon was ejected for arguing a play at the plate in which the Rays' Sean Rodriguez clearly avoided a tag but was called out, the second inning became frightening.
Happ had allowed the tying run to score when his wild pitch brought James Loney home from third, and shortly after was drilled in the side of the head by a line drive off the bat of Jennings.
The shot ricocheted into right field and two runs came home on the hit that would go for a triple, but the situation on the mound became the cause for concern, as Happ laid motionless with blood pouring from his head.
Happ would be immobilized but was conscious and able to move his hands. He waved to the crowd before leaving the playing field. When the game resumed, Ryan Roberts sent a single into left to put the Rays ahead 4-1.
The Jays were stifled for the next four innings, only putting forth a pair of singles, but finally began to break through in the seventh when Jake McGee took over for Hernandez.
Lind led off the frame with a double and Rasmus clubbed a two-run homer into right center to bring the Blue Jays within 4-3.
The Jays pulled even in the eighth following back-to-back doubles from Cabrera and Bautista, and while they failed to take the lead during the frame despite having runners at first and third with no one out, they went ahead for good the following inning.
Peralta took the mound for Tampa Bay and served up a tie-breaking solo homer to Izturis with one away. Brett Lawrie then reached with a two-out single and came all the way around to score on Cabrera's double down the right-field line to give Toronto a 6-4 lead heading into the bottom of the ninth.
Janssen needed just 10 pitches to work a 1-2-3 ninth.
Lind put Toronto ahead early, lining a solo homer over the right-field wall in the second to stake Toronto to a 1-0 lead.
Game Notes
The Rays lost back-to-back home games for the first time this season ... The last time the Blue Jays won consecutive games at Tropicana Field was on July 20 and Aug. 26, 2008 ... Toronto's Edwin Encarnacion struck out to end the ninth and was ejected for arguing the call ... Tampa Bay starters have worked at least five innings in all 32 of its games this season ... The Rays have lost 13 games in which they have held a lead at some point, the most in the majors ... Jennings, Roberts and Rodriguez each had two hits for Tampa Bay.

What is lucid dreaming?
A lucid dream is when you consciously wake up inside a dream. The word "lucid" means "clear" so it literally means "clear dreaming". It is a result of heightened consciousness in the dream state, initiated by the realization that you are dreaming and self-aware.
Most people will have one or two conscious dreams in their lifetime by accident. But with practice, you can learn how to have lucid dreams regularly and act out your greatest fantasies and use it for personal development. While some children can program their dreams naturally, for most adults it requires some knowledge of lucid dreaming techniques and a dedication to the concept of waking up in your dreams.
The reason so many people are drawn to lucidity is because it sets them free and allows them to do impossible things in the dream world. Once you learn to induce conscious dreams, you can control your actions, manipulate the scenery, and drive the plot as you see fit. This enables you to explore the depths of the oceans or the edge of the universe. You can travel forward in time, fly to the moon, or run like a cheetah. There are no limits in the world of lucid dreaming.
How long does it take to have your first lucid dream?
One study showed a group of committed students were able to have their first lucid dream within 3-21 days on average. They were equipped with the right tutorials and practiced mindfully every day. You should aim to take a similar approach.
This is a guide only. A minority may already possess the key skills and have their first lucid dream the same night they discover the concept. A different minority may take months to learn the skills, especially if they don't make a solid commitment.
If you are struggling to have your first lucid dream, ask yourself:
- Are you dream journaling every morning?
- Are you spending at least 20 minutes a day on mindful meditation?
- Are you raising your self-awareness during waking life?
- Are you practicing your reality checks frequently and mindfully?
- Have you planned out what you'll do in your first lucid dream?
- Are you subconsciously incubating the desire to lucid dream?
- Have you mastered any in-depth lucid dreaming techniques?
If you feel you have been practicing for a long time with no results, your technique may be letting you down. Brush up on lucidity tutorials found on websites, books, courses and these forums.
How will I know when I'm lucid?
In Dream Initiated Lucid Dreams, the moment you become lucid is the moment you suddenly realize you are dreaming.
In the movies, fictional characters often realize they're dreaming and make funny comments about it but otherwise allow the dream to continue of it's own accord and nothing changes. Lucid dreaming is nothing like this
In real life, the effect is quite different. Saying (and knowing) "This is a dream!" results in a rush of clarity of thought. Your surroundings will zoom into focus and become much more vivid. You will have far greater awareness of your body and it is more like a waking experience, seeing the dream through your own eyes and having the opportunity to move freely and take in much more sensory information.
The features of conscious dreams can spontaneously change just like a normal dream. For instance, you may manifest a group of bear cubs which later change into a pile of boxes. Of course, you can easily call the bear cubs back again. But don't be surprised if you notice these subtle changes which seem beyond your control. Remember, it is a co-created experience and your subconscious mind is still playing a key role.
How can I stay lucid for longer?
Beginners often get frustrated because their lucid dreams end prematurely. Sometimes, the sheer excitement causes you to wake up. Other times, you may simply forget you are dreaming and the subconscious mind regains full control. In this case, the dream loses its intensity and become just like a regular dream again.
To prevent this from happening, cultivate a calm and focused mind set in the dream world. Remind yourself that you are dreaming often stay mentally grounded. I explain more about this in the article How To Stay Lucid (http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/how-to-stay-lucid.html). These techniques have helped me experience lucid dreams as long as an hour (estimated in real-time).
A very simple way to enhance your lucidity and ground yourself in the dream is to rub your hands together while saying "I'm dreaming". This kinetic sensation stimulates the conscious brain, while drawing awareness to your dream body and away from your physical body lying asleep in bed.
How can I change the scenery?
Making the dream scene morph in front of your eyes can sometimes difficult - mainly because you simply don't expect it to happen. This is typical of the results beginners complain about because they lack the anticipated control of the dreamworld.
If you are having problems with dream control (and I should stress that not everyone does have such issues) the best way to change things is to work WITH your subconscious dream logic. For instance, to change the scenery:
- Locate a dream door (a door that stands inappropriately in the middle of any landscape) and step through to another world.
- Pass through a mirror portal (a liquid-like mirror that leads to another dimension) and emerge in any scene you choose.
- Change the channel on a TV, then jump into the screen and allow the image to become 3-dimensional around you.
- Turn away from the scene, imagine a new and exciting location emerging behind you. When you turn back - lo and behold - it is there!
- Spin around and imagine a new scene appearing when you stop spinning.
As you can see, there are many creative solutions to issues of dream control. The most important thing to remember is that your conscious expectation plays a major role. If you question your own ability to manifest new scenes, then your abilities will falter. But if you remain confidence and learn from your experiences, you'll soon find that absolutely anything is possible inside a conscious dream.
How can I have flying dreams?
Learning how to fly in lucid dreams is something we all want to master first.
However, it's not like you've had any practice in real life, so the concept can be a little difficult on the lucid dreaming mind. While some people take to the sky like Superman, others can get stuck in power lines, bump into buildings, or waver as if gravity is acting against them (which of course it isn't!)
Think of the movie The Matrix, when Morpheus asks Neo how he beat him in a virtual reality fight. Was it because he was stronger, faster, or fitter in this simulated world? No. It was because he truly believed he was better.
It's the same in lucid dreams. See my article How to Have Lucid Flying Dreams (http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/how-to-have-lucid-flying-dreams.html)which explains the expectation principle and a three-step flight training program.
Are lucid dreams tiring?
The short answer for 99% of people is no.
You dream for around 100 minutes every night, broken down into multiple different dreams occurring in different phases of sleep. The average proficient lucid dreamer can expect to do it maybe 2-4 times a week, with each session lasting 10-40 minutes. Most people don't miss that sleep - even if it were deemed to be worthless (which it isn't). Indeed, a lucid dream can often leave you on a natural high for the rest of the day, which gives you more mental and physical energy.
For a very small fraction of people, lucid dreaming occurs every night. They can feel engulfed by their conscious dreams and unable to sleep deeply and properly the whole night. This can leave them feeling sleep deprived and is a very real sleep disorder once it begins to impact on their normal daily life. That's not to say lucid dreaming is a sleep disorder - anything in excess can have profound effects on the mind and body. People who complain of this condition have usually been lucid dreaming their whole lives and should seek expert advice from a sleep specialist.
Can I get stuck in a lucid dream?
If you are imagining getting stuck in a lucid dream that way a child gets stuck in a painting in a horror movie, then no, that's science fiction. Welcome to the real world!
You can no more get stuck in a lucid dream than you can get stuck in a regular dream or nightmare. What's more, dream limbo was a made-up plot device for Inception.
Indeed, lucidity afford you the opportunity to wake up on demand. A number of people learn to start lucid dreaming naturally by using it to wake up from nightmares. Just open and shut your dream eyes firmly while saying "WAKE UP!" In time, you can use the same moment of clarity to transform your nightmare into a guided dream.
While it is possible to become engrossed in a lucid nightmare or false awakening, this is not the same as being "trapped" in a dream for any significant amount of time. Though frustrating (and sometimes enlightening) they are no different in length from typical periods of REM sleep, which max out after a certain period of time.
Are my dreams psychic?
I'm sure you want them to be, but wanting something doesn't make it real. Otherwise we'd all win the lottery, look like A-list celebrities and solve world hunger.
To date, there is no good scientific evidence for psychic dreams. Everyone has heard of a friend-of-a-friend who "had this amazing psychic dream, so it has to be real" but please bear in mind that such stories are often embellished, and coincidences do happen.
Also, consider this:
1) Nobody has identified a mechanism for psychic information to travel from the future into your dreaming mind. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but it's a tad premature to believe in something we can neither perceive nor explain.
2) It's far more likely that so-called psychic dreams are caused by coincidence. How many deaths and accidents have you dreamed about that didn't come true? Though it may seem unbelievable at the time, mathematically it is commonplace.
3) It's also quite likely that "psychic" information is received subconsciously. In other words, if you know your friend is a risk-taker behind the wheel, it's not psychic to dream of him having a car accident which later happens.
There is a scientific principle known as Occam's Razor, where the observed minimalist solution is always better than calling upon additional unknown factors. In other words, lose the wild unproven theories and accept the simple proven explanation.
I'm not 100% dismissive of alternative theories. If solid evidence emerged for psychic dreams, I would accept that they do exist. Lucid dreamers are best poised to take on this task, as explained in my article on Precognitive Dreams (http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/precognitive-dreams.html) . Until such time, I'm going to base my beliefs on observation and calculated reasoning.
Can I talk to my subconscious in a lucid dream?
As the lucid dream is a co-created experience, you can find subconscious communication arising from many different places - via dream characters, dream events, or even the fabric of the dream itself. The easiest way is to start a dialogue with the dream; just talk out loud. See the article 10 Things to Ask Your Lucid Self (http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/10-things-to-ask-your-lucid-dream-self.html) for specific questions to pose to your dreaming self.
If I die in a dream will I die in reality?
Who ever died and came back to tell that tall tale!?
This is a myth. What's more, I have not found any action in a lucid dream to have a negative physical impact on my body.
I once died in a dream of epic proportions. I was standing on the roof of one of the Twin Towers in New York. I watched in the distance as a tsunami wave headed towards the city. I was soon immersed in water, knocked off the building and drowned as I fell.
I then "woke up" in the dream to find myself on an alien planet, being watched by a group of my alien peers. They had big heads and slender limbs, and waited for me while my memory of them returned. Apparently my whole time on Earth was just part of a larger lifecycle. It was a great dream. And it certainly didn't kill me in real life.
What are false awakenings?
In false awakenings, you believe you have woken up but are in fact still asleep. It's a very vivid experience and shares some intriguing characteristics with lucid dreams.
Some people get dressed, have breakfast and leave the house in their false awakenings. Most of these actions are performed on auto-pilot so it's not really a fun or controllable dream experience. However the realism can be shocking in hindsight - which is why people don't often recognize false awakenings while they occur.
Lucid dreamers tend to have more false awakenings than other people, because this is a state in which consciousness clashes with the dream world. It is an odd side effect but not at all dangerous and can actually lead to the creation of more conscious dreams. This occurrence is often used in movies to reveal their character's fears coming true - and was used to the extreme in the comedy movie Groundhog Day.
The best way to work with false awakenings is to check your reality every time you wake up and if your impossible action comes true... it means you're still dreaming
Do lucid dream machines work?
Lucid dream machines like the NovaDreamer, REM Dreamer or DreamMask provide external lucidity triggers which are incorporated into your dream. It is up to you to recognize the cue and in doing so, realize that you are dreaming.
They do not guarantee effortless conscious dreams - nothing can, unless you are a natural - but used correctly they can certainly increase your self-awareness in dreams and help bring your consciousness into the dreamscape. To learn more, read my reviews of popular lucid dream machines (http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/lucid-dream-machines.html).
Does brainwave entrainment help you lucid dream?
Brainwave entrainment is a scientifically proven method of entering meditative states at will. It's based on precision audio technology like isochronic tones and ushers the brain into a deeply relaxed state.
I believe entrainment is good for lucid dreaming on two levels. Firstly it helps you to attain deeply meditative states on demand, which improves your self-awareness, visualization skills and ability to stay conscious throughout altered states.
Secondly, it enhances your ability to enter the Mind Awake / Body Asleep state (used in Wake Induced Lucid Dreams) which is a powerful way of having lucid dreams and out of body experiences on demand. It focuses your mind on staying consciously aware while putting your body into a sleep and dream state.
For more information see my Brainwave Meditation Review (http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/lucid-dreaming-mp3.html).
Should I use dream herbs?
Dream herbs are very good at temporarily improving your dream recall, as well as giving you very intense and meaningful dreams the same night. Sometimes these are lucid dreams and at the minimum they are very vivid and memorable dreams.
I find certain dream herbs create interesting dream experiences and are worth experimenting with just for fun and to understand more about the dreaming mind. Beginners may want to try the popular herb like Calea Zacatechichi (http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/calea-zacatechichi-review.html).
Can I use lucid dreams to induce OBEs?
Some people believe out of body experiences (OBEs) are literal, physical projections of your awareness outside of your body. It may also be called astral projection. There is no denying the experience is somewhat similar to a lucid dream and there is nothing stopping you from inducing an OBE from within a conscious dream state.
You may also find that while practicing lucid dreaming techniques, you have some other unexplained experiences which may feel like you're moving out of body. In reality, this may just be a transition from your physical body into an imaginary dream body - a bit like a false awakening, which begins with you waking up in bed.
To learn more about the connection between lucid dreaming and OBEs / astral projection, take a look at Paranormal Activity (http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/paranormal-activity.html).

The trade deadline is today and if the Mets haven't done anything by now don't expect anything in the next four hours. Ted Lilly is an outside chance, but looks headed to the Dodgers.
According to reports, and a lot of it is stuff thrown against the wall, the Astros want Bobby Parnell and Josh Thole for Brett Myers. I wouldn't do Myers straight up for either.
The deadline will pass with the Mets keeping the status quo, and that's fine by me if what I've been hearing is true. Parnell, Thole, Jon Niese and Ike Davis are the names other teams are seeking. That's the future of this franchise.
I can't blame Omar Minaya for wanting to protect the future, even if it means not winning this year. Perhaps, if the Mets pulled the trigger on Roy Oswalt a month ago I'd be looking at it differently, because there would have been a chance to make up serious ground. But, at the deadline, not so much.
For years I've been hearing the Mets don't have much of a farm system, but there is a good young core here. To keep it intact is essential.

Our family doctor believes that the egg is still the golden standard when it comes to protein. I have to agree – not that I know anything about protein, or much about nutrition, but eggs, in my book, are a wondrous food. They can be a complete meal unto themselves or used in a myriad of different ways from breakfast to dessert. They come in their own container, are simple to find and use, and you can dress them up or down as you see fit. Plus they are delicious. And yes, golden.
So in keeping with the doctor's advice, I've prepared eggs for breakfast…as I've done, in one way or another, many times before. I must confess, I am not the healthiest person, nor am I a star patient, and the reason I eat eggs (or anything else I love for that matter) is because I love them, not quite because they were given someone's seal of approval. But it's still nice to know that sometimes, my opinion does coincide with that of someone of the medical profession – it's not often the case so when it does happen I feel it cause for a little celebration.
The "making an omelette with earthy mushrooms and softly caramelized onions bathed in cream for breakfast" kind of celebration.
Creamy Mushroom & Onion Omelette
- Olive oil or butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 large white onion or 2 medium ones
- 200 grams Swiss brown mushrooms
- 1/4 cup cream
- Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 4 eggs
– Heat a glug of olive oil or a pat of butter in a non-stick pan (olive oil if you want to be healthier, butter if you want it to be richer – you can also use a combination).
– Add garlic and onions and sauté until the onions are soft and slightly caramelized.
– Add the mushrooms and sauté until cooked. Add the cream, stirring continuously (don't let that cream burn!). The cream should reduce slightly and get into all the nooks and crannies, picking up mushroom flavour and taking on its nutty brown color as it goes.
– Season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside.
– Clean pan and return to heat with another small glug of oil.
– Beat 2 eggs gently in a separate bowl, then pour into the pan. When the bottom sets but the top is still moist and jiggly, add half the mushroom mixture to one side of the egg. Flip the other side over the mushrooms to enclose. Slide onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining 2 eggs and mushroom mixture.
– Serves two.
This is no fluffy omelette – I can't seem to master that particular artform. This is more a flat picnic blanket of egg made for the purpose of enfolding some luscious filling. Don't discount the egg for its flatness though – I love the taste of egg, flat or not! I am, however, very much open to the secrets of the fluffy omelette if anyone out there is inclined to share 🙂
You can make this breakfast for two, or, just use 2 eggs and half the mushroom mixture for a breakfast for one. In which case you can then toss the other half of the mushroom mixture with pasta, or serve on toast, for a nice lunch for one. You can also add 2 slices of camembert or gruyere to each omelette if you are feeling particularly decadent, or are in need of cheering up, or the morning is grey and gloomy. I don't know how your family doctors would feel about that though…

"This is a toe in the water experiment for support for more data types (like URIs, IPs, UUIDs etc) where the representation will inevitably differ across applications. The idea is that the reader support conveys the semantics (this is a point in time, not a string or number) and printed representation, without dictating the programmatic type. This will allow people to use Clojure data as a richer transport format without locking anyone (or even two ends of the same application) into particular libraries etc." – Rich Hickey on the dev list
- Many programs need to manipulate time-related values and we have no way to incorporate them in the data format used by read.
- Different representations are commonplace and necessary.
- The Java classes in this area are bad
there are no good libraries in this area, we need to invent one
- Joda
- Provide reader support for time
- Must be pluggable
- Dictate only print/read format
- Don't dictate return data type
- print is already pluggable
- #@ISO8601-STRING reader macro
- codename, swear-date
- calls pluggable parser fn
- extension point is via bindable var
- default parser
- option 1: uses Joda to parse, returns java.util.Date
- throws exception referencing Joda if Joda not on classpath
- option 2: like 1, but uses JDK 6 java.xml.bindDatatypeConverter
- how compatible is XML dateTime with ISO8601? Schema spec says "inspired by" which does not inspire confidence
- option 1: uses Joda to parse, returns java.util.Date
- print java.util.Date, Joda DateTime in swear-date format
- what other classes?
- Would Clojure apps now all depend on Joda? No. Joda is only a requirement for building Clojure itself. (Maven's "provided" dependency scope keeps the static tools at bay, and Joda is only loaded dynamically if present.)
- What about localization, time zones, etc? These are not part of the semantics of an instant. You can choose a local representation that complects this, but you should not assume it will be conveyed by print/read.
- What about types that lack resolution to match what ISO8601 can say? Sorry! Bind an instant reader that produces a better type of live with your impoverished local rep.
- RH - instant reader is a bad name, as it is not a reader in the sense the reader is. More like a parsing function. Or let's just call it the read-instant function and not name what it is.
- It would be cool if there were a library for manipulating instants with convenient Clojure syntax. Darn straight. Let's have a contrib for this.
- would be nice to return something meaningful given time part only
- JDK 5 has no ISO8601 parser
- JDK 6 has only in javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter
- Using Joda for parse introduces dep into Clojure
- Print/read veracity requires matching parsers
- is this a real issue?
- is flexibility allowing difference not a feature?
- SDH liking this flexibility less, still on fence
- SDH liking this flexibility less, still on fence
- Others I'm sure
Old Notes
Goal for an instant literal:
RH - this presumes an instant literal is a goal, it is not necessarily so
Provide a relatively easy way to create a human readable time instant. Also provide a protocol based library of date functions
What this is:
- A Reader Macro
- Complies with ISO8601
- Joda is the gold standard for parsing. Specifically, the formatter returned by org.joda.time.format.ISODateTimeFormat/dateTime
- Aware of offset from UTC
- Provides a Dateable Protocol
- Provides a CljDate type, which is aware of both the UTC instant and offset from UTC
- Equality/Hashcode based on instant
- Display based on instant+offset
- Plays nice w/ Joda, includes docs to extend to Joda.
- A collection of very common comparators and predicates.
- A collection of converter functions
- Written in Clojure, w/ exception of reader assignment
What this is NOT:
- Time Zone support
- Multiple Chonology support
- Clever duration support
- Directly dependent upon Joda
- A PITA to use
Things to read to facilitate intelligent discussion (TO DO):
- ISO 8601 - Wikipedia
- Joda Design docs - Joda Time
- JSR 310 - http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=310
- Other languages time libs
- How Hotspot Clocks Work
Known issues/things to solve
- Support for only a date or time of day?
- Allow partial composition in a literal?
- Parsing dates before 1970 (Epoch start)
Oct 29, 2010
+1 for this... and not just because I'm waist deep in writing a calendaring product.
A literal for creating dates would really be a great idea.
I've found the most common thing I'm having to do is add units of time to an Instant, the terms I've been hankering for:
- before?
- after?
- plus (an interval?)
- add (ideally able to handle different units - perhaps the unit type given in meta data? - explicit fn's like add-days would satisfy this too)
- subtract (ditto for 'add').
- between?
Let me know how I can help.
Oct 26, 2011
What does "Aware of offset from UTC" mean? Is that a characteristic that can survive transformations? Is the intention that the instant be composite? (i.e. an instant and an offset is not an instant) What problem is the offset part trying to solve?
Oct 27, 2011
I think it would be sufficient for the parser to recognize the +/- timezone offsets allowed by ISO8601. Once an instant has been read, it should be in UTC.
Nov 04, 2011
seems like this is about mandating a serialization format, not the format in memory, so if anything is mandated to be UTC, it should be the intervals as printed, what ends in memory for it is the responsibility of instant-read and whoever set it.
Aug 13, 2012
For the historical record, the tagged literal feature, including #inst support, was shipped in Clojure 1.4. Relevant issues: CLJ-871 and CLJ-928.

Yankees acquire INF Nelson from Rockies
Bronx, NY – The injury-ridden New York Yankees have acquired infielder Chris Nelson from the Colorado Rockies in exchange for cash considerations or a player to be named later.
The move comes a day after the Yankees placed infielder Kevin Youkilis on the 15-day disabled list with a lumbar spine sprain. Youkilis joined regulars Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Curtis Granderson and Mark Teixeira on the DL.
Nelson was designated for assignment after hitting for a .242 average with four RBI in 21 games for the Rockies this season. The 27-year-old is a career .279 hitter in parts of four seasons in Colorado after being selected in the first round of the 2004 draft.
Nelson has seen time at third base, second base and shortstop in his career.
To make room on the roster, the Yankees moved catcher Francisco Cervelli to the 60-day disabled list.

How soon can you do a 27/3, or any of the other multiples, after drawing a sample? Does glycerin cause an error if it is not settled?
I just take a little jam jar and fill it up, it takes about 5-10 minutes for the glyc to settle, then I take my sample.
I let it settle till there is a defined line between the layers, about 15 or 20 minutes.
The glycerine dissolves readily into the methanol but if it has not settled at all you have to wonder how close to 3ml of actual biodiesel you have compared to the glycerine thats in solution..
Simple schematic for a pump and heater control with a high limit
Sensor for the biodiesel/glycerin layer
When doing a no titration two stage process it would be nice to pull the sample and do the 27/3 right away so the drop up could settle while the glycerin settles in the processor. That would save a little time when starting the second stage. I might had to do some experimenting.
Maybe one of those hand crank fuges would work to speed it up?
Or you could likely roll your own pretty easy too...
Simple schematic for a pump and heater control with a high limit
Sensor for the biodiesel/glycerin layer
fuelfarmer, yes thats correct.
It would be nice to do a dropout and have it settle while the batch is settling.
Trouble is with all the glycerol in there (usually @ 10%) only 90% of your sample is crude bio.
The other very important point is that if you take the sample too soon it will take ages to settle due to all the contaminants in the crude bio. When I say ages I mean several hours,which when doing a sample "midstream" is totally impractical.
The optimum time to leave it to settle is about 30 mins.
A sample taken after 30 mins will settle in about half the time compared with one taken after 10 mins.
It all depends why you are doing the dropout. If like myself (I do 10/90) you need the dropout to calculate the chemical for the 2nd reaction this time delay presents a problem.
I want to get an accurate result but not wait hours for it.
So i leave it to settle 30 mins,do the test then from how cloudy the top methanol phase is, estimate how much more dropout there is to fall.
Doing a test on finished bio is easy and you can get an accurate result in 15 mins to a couple of hours.
If you take a sample of "crude" too early it can take up to 12 hours for the methanol phase to be clear.
It's a wonderful test but needs to be "tweeked" to use it to advantage.
Look at the "3/27 and beyond "thread.
Excuse my ignorance on this method, but why not just titrate?
What is the perceived advantage of this no tiration thing? It just seems like more work/time and fiddling with very little reward, but I am probably missing something along the way there...
Simple schematic for a pump and heater control with a high limit
Sensor for the biodiesel/glycerin layer
Because titrating is fiddly, takes longer, requires continually fresh test reagents, and can be inaccurate.
A simple 10/90 test is so much easier than titrating.
It's the difference between seeing the amount of conversion instead of taking a calculated guess at how much reagent is required.
Both methods work, it's largely a mater of personal preference. Some find one method better than the other.
I titrated for years and found the method inaccurate.
If a second stage is required it is far more precise to calculate the amount of chemical required as a direct result of the dropout.
If a process has been taken to completion in one stage the water produced by FFA neutralisation has been present for all the reaction and therefore produced more soap as a result of the saponification reaction,making the single stage process less efficient.
Interesting, what is fiddly about titrating? I find it to be the opposite, titrating is simple consistent and accurate with no fiddling involved. Titrating has never let me down.
Your assertion that titrating takes longer is ridiculous if you need a second stage for the no titration technique, never mind the issues with settling described by FF and DGS above.
I guess it seems obvious its a matter of personal preference then with no real advantage?
Simple schematic for a pump and heater control with a high limit
Sensor for the biodiesel/glycerin layer
DGS, interesting, has anybody done any tests to compare the efficiency of single stage vs 2 stage processing?
I would be interested in the results if so.
I have never had an issue with accuracy and titrate with turmeric.
I have only ever done single stage as it works great for me and takes much less of my precious time, therefore I have no direct experience with two stage...

Hi Jon,
I performed some fairly extensive testing using the latest "Titrationless" method that is so much the current rage and found that it suffers severe limitations.
The other problem is that the drop-out in the Warnqvest test does not tell you the amount of un-rected oil remaining. It overstates the amount of unconverted oil remaining so you end up using excess chemicals in the second stage.
I will post the test series I performed with the titrationless method later.
Thanks Tilly. That would confirm my suspicions.
I just cant see in what way this method could be more efficient or faster, particularly if a second stage is required. But then again I have never found titrating to be fiddly, inaccurate nor time consuming...
FF, sorry to hijack your thread!
Simple schematic for a pump and heater control with a high limit
Sensor for the biodiesel/glycerin layer
I am wondering how any of you folks complaining of inaccurate titrations are performing them?
I use 99% iso and turmeric for the titration with an automatic burret to measure the titration amount and a small 200ml beaker on a stir plate for the mixing and titration.
To mix the solution I measure 1L of RO water into an erlenmeyer flask and then use an accurate scale to measure in 1 gram of the caustic of choice. I refresh the solution every few months whether it needs it or not.
This has never let me down nor shown any signs of being inaccurate.
Here is a pic of my titrating rig;

Jon,are you saying that with all the single stage processes you have done that you have never had any dropout when conducting a warnqvist test. Or do we take it that you don't do the test.
The 10/90 test I use is much simpler than that and only requires methanol, a 12mm syringe, and a simple tester that Imakebiodiesel posted a while back made from a bottle and a 3mm syringe. It's accurate enough to produce good quality biodiesel, and that's all I'm interested in.
Yes it's a personal choice and I've stated my reasons without personal comments like "Your assertion... is ridiculous" because that would be rude and it adds nothing useful to the discussion.
Hi DGS, yes pretty much. One time I had a fail with my old processor and attempted a reprocess that ended up with a tank full of gel... I documented the mess I made HERE with pics and all, in the end I managed to save it.
In retrospect, I would have never even attempted to reprocess it as a bit of dropout will not harm anything.
With my current processor, knock on wood, I have never had a 3/27 fail, I preform it carefully and religiously and when it passes (after about 20 minutes of processing) I start the recovery (I do WBD exclusively).
I have no secret recipe, I dewater under vacuum, titrate carefully and accurately, mix chemicals carefully and accurately and process, voila 3/27 pass every time.

Sensor for the biodiesel/glycerin layer
Jon, the advantage is the no titration method is very forgiving and you get a boost in yield. I can't tell you how forgiving or the yield increase.
As for the chemical savings, here is what I think. I do not know this to be fact. When a titration is done you are trying to decide how much extra to throw at a known problem with the oil. The unknown, like water, can still bite you on the backside.
With the no titration method, I use the base amount of chemicals for 80% of the oil volume. When the glycerin is drained the bad stuff, or unknown stuff is removed from the remaining oil and fuel. Then the 10/90 in my case show me how much "clean" oil is remaining in the fuel. As stated the amount of the drop out may not be precise, but the results work for me. When I add the chemicals used in both stages it is less than what I would use in a single stage using a titration number. And because there is less soap the yield is improved a little.
There is also some benefit to removing most of the glycerin near the end of the reaction because glycerin can interfere with the reaction as it nears completion.
Stopping to drain the first stage does add a step, but the results make me happy. And can you put a price on happiness?
Thanks for the detailed explanation FF!
So your experiencing better yield and using less chemicals, that's a good thing!
My pal on here Dannodiesel has been talking about how much he likes this no titration process too, we just haven't had a chance to talk about what all it entailed.
It makes some more sense to me now though it would sure be nice to see some quantitative testing to determine if the extra steps are really worth it in the long run.
You being happy with it is certainly the important part for you.

You have acquired a great new member into your household with the pitter patter of little puppy toes going across the floor. Now you need to start as soon as you can on getting him to be the best and most well behaved dog he can be by implementing these easy dog training tricks. Puppies just like humans are not born with the knowledge of what is right or wrong, they have to be taught these things just as we do.
The sit command is one you will use not only for the purpose of sitting but also as the first step in the other two tricks we have listed below. This is a trick which will help you keep him still and calm in situations which may prove dangerous to him or you. It will also help with minor annoyances such as greeting everyone with paws on the shoulders if he is tall enough, licking, jumping in the lap etc..
The easiest way to do this is to get his favorite dog treats, hold it above his head. Once he settles down a bit, immediately say the word "sit" and follow it with good dog then proceed to give him his treat and a pat on the head. Keep on working with him on a continuous basis in this manner and he will be sitting on command in no time.
Next we will work with teaching him the lie down command. This is a very important command. This command will teach him to lie down in the car and in the home when he is being a bit over animated or rambunctious. It will also save you from any accidents in the car if he is a larger dog by moving around and blocking someones view or stepping on something he should not have.
You will also be using the great snack method of training for this exercise too. This time when they get into the sit position as you command then slowly move the treat along the surface of the ground until your pet is forced to make themselves lie down to see or follow this treat. Once they have done that appropriately then immediately say the lie down command and give them the treat along with a good boy and a petting.
One of the harder of these commands for your puppy to learn is that of the stay command. This is a very important thing for them to adhere too for their well being and your peace of mind. This stay command will keep them firmly where they sit down until you tell them it is okay to move. Great for if a door gets opened, you walk to the curb to get your paper or even walking over to a neighbors home. Your puppy will sit right there until your return. Tell him the command of sit with treat above his eyes then move slightly away from him while keeping the treat in his view say, stay, stay and if he does not move then he gets the treat. It takes much practice for this one but is well worth it in the long run.
Training sessions should not be very long. Dogs, especially puppies, can become bored very easily and not as focused as they can be in shorter sessions. Routines on a daily basis are another thing that dogs rank on their list of importance as well. Make your daily sessions around the same time every day. Training your dog gives you and him quality time together so you should each have fun with it and have some much needed play time after a good days lessons.
Many pet stores have different types of books for training tips and techniques. They often have some specifically for certain breeds and their behaviors. You will also be able to find training videos as well which will give you some insight on new tricks to teach your dog and some answers regarding some behavior issues you have concerns about.
All these dog training tricks and many more not listed can help even the most unruly misbehaved dogs become well-mannered and a joy to be around. These will help them control their urges of jumping on visitors as soon as they walk in the door, nibble on arms or hands as playing, chasing other animals within the households and so on. Take the time to teach your pet the right things instead of reinforcing the wrong things in their behavior and they and you will be much more productive and happier together.

I think I love coffee more for the aromatic benefits, the cream and
2. When I do have more than one cup a day, I can change flavors easily. Raspberry chocolate truffle for one cup and hot chocolate for the second.
3. And speaking of hot chocolate . . . My kids don't know it yet, but I can make hot chocolate with my new Keurig. I'll whip out that little gem of a treat on a special day sometime soon. It's even easier than the packets and the microwave technique.
4. There's hardly any commitment. I recently discovered that some flavors come in three packs. I can try a new flavor and not feel like I am obligated to make an entire bag (even though hate it) just because I spent $8 on it.
5. Dunkin Donuts coffee. Yes, they have DD coffee in K-cups. Hey, America runs on it.
6. I can always find great deals online. Try Coffee Outlaw.
7. The machine stores away easily. This can probably be said by anyone who owns a coffee maker. But that doesn't make it any less convenient for Keurig owners. And this is a deal breaker in my 800sq ft apt.
8. I don't generally like bold roast coffee, but I found that by brewing 2 cups of coffee from the same K cup, mixing them and then making iced coffee from it turns out pretty good.
9. The prices on K-cups may be more expensive per cup, but they have come down in price over the last couple of years. That is something to be joyful about.
10. I no longer have such a great urge to splurge on coffee house coffee. I get a great java brew right at home without the price tag.
(This is not a sponsored post. I just love my Keurig!)
Counting it all coffee lover's joy,

Thursday at sunset signified the start of Ramadan. During this month, observing Muslims around the world fast by abstaining from food and drink from dawn to sunset. Fasting in Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islamic faith, along with belief in the oneness of God and in Muhammad as God's messenger, performing the daily prayers, paying the yearly charity due (Zakat), and performing the pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj).
The fasting in Ramadan is the month of self-restraint, self-purification and increased spirituality. Not only are they to abstain from worldly pleasures while fasting, but more importantly, Muslims are expected to control their tempers, be more charitable, and seek a closer connection with the Creator through additional prayer and reading of the Koran. Moreover, in this month, a fasting person gains more understanding and compassion toward those who face hunger due to their unfortunate circumstances. The central theme of Ramadan is not hunger or thirst, but is a boot camp of the human spirit. Muslims practice the fact that people can choose to not be slaves to biological impulses. It is a time to renew our unique human qualities by making an extra effort to do good deeds.
The Prophet Muhammad said, "When any one of you is observing fasting on a day, he should neither indulge in obscene language nor should he raise his voice; and if anyone reviles him or tries to quarrel with him he should say: 'I am observing a fast.'"
The Prophet also said, "If one does not avoid lies and false conduct, God has no need that he should abstain from his food and his drink."
Ramadan is the ninth lunar month in the Islamic calendar. Because it is a lunar calendar, Ramadan moves forward in the solar calendar by about 11 days every year.
Hence a Muslim in his or her lifetime experiences fasting in all seasons, even during the dog days of August.
So this week, to honor your valued friendships with Muslims, congratulate them by saying "Ramadan Mubarak." To show support for your Muslim friends and colleagues during this month, simply be aware of their fast until Aug. 19, the last day of Ramadan. No special treatment or accommodations are expected. Do satisfy your natural curiosity, ask questions and learn about the Ramadan fast in your social conversations. This is particularly important today to combat the prevailing misperceptions about Islam and to promote mutual understanding and friendship among different faiths.
To celebrate this month with the members of the local faith community, the Islamic Congregation of La Cañada Flintridge is holding its sixth annual Ramadan Interfaith Potluck Dinner on Friday, July 27, at the Community Center of La Cañada Flintridge. All are welcome to attend. Please RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com by July 24.

Look4Logo needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 79 designs submitted by 8 freelance designers.
Impirus was founded to help small law firms and solo practitioners gain clients through the internet. We specialize in a legal website CMS system that functions in a similar way to WordPress. Our philosophy is to offer an easy, affordable solution for creating a web presence.
Our target market is lawyers who are starting a practice. Also, our market includes seasoned small law firms who still do not have a web presence. For this contest we want the template focused on Family law. Family lawyers deal with issues such as divorce, child custody, child support, adoption.
We are looking for multiple templates. If we get more than 1 good design we will offer $250 for each good design that does not win.
We need a legal website template. We need a home page and content page designed for the template. The content page is basically the same as the home page but does not have a feature area (see specification document in file downloads).
The template will consist of designing psd files that use the Blueprint CSS photoshop template (see file downloads or go to http://www.blueprintcss.org ) as the starting point. The main content of the files should be 950px wide (see template). Background should account for larger widths. All columns and areas in the design should line up with the Blueprint grid template.
This template should have a family law theme. Family lawyers deal with issues such as divorce, child custody, child support, adoption. Images could include smiling children, child with one parent, etc. but designs are not limited to these image types.
Any images that require licensing should be indicated so we can acquire the proper license.
We need 2 pages.
1) A Home page
2) A Content page
The content page is only different from the Home page in that it lacks a feature area and may have a archive menu in a sidebar (or similar area)
See ImpirusTemplateSpec.pdf for details on the Home page and Content page in attached files.
Some samples from our current templates (we want to improve on these)

What will happen with Mailbox, the new app that has everyone in Silicon Valley mega excited?
Email is one of the great unsolved problems of our day.
It's also one of the critical mobile apps that ought to be done well and built right into the core platform.
The last great mobile email app, Sparrow, got swallowed up by Google. (Insiders have whispered to us about some tragic disagreement that led to Sparrow's sale, but we've never been able to pin down the details.)
We imagine that Orchestra, the company behind Mailbox, is already getting lots of buyout and investment offers.
Here's one fact no one's mentioned about Orchestra, though, that we find really fascinating.
There's a college student named Adam Cue who works as a software engineer at Orchestra, according to his LinkedIn profile. Cue is also currently a senior at Duke University due to graduate in May.
On his Facebook profile, he lists his father as Eddy Cue, an Apple senior vice president who oversees Apple's iCloud Internet services, including email.
Now, we're not saying that Orchestra has an inside track to get bought by Apple because an employee's father is a senior executive at the company.
Wait, sorry—that is what we're saying.
On a practical level, the relationship will probably complicate any talks between the companies, with Cue having to recuse himself from any formal discussions. But we have to think Mailbox has been on top Apple executives' radar long before most Valley insiders had decided it was the next big thing.

As Schwartz told the New York Times in 1995:
I firmly believe that the most extraordinary human game is professional baseball, that it is a 12-month endeavor, and it deeply occupies the mind and heart even when not being played.Schwartz's essay on the 1978 American League East playoff game, which originally ran in Sports Illustrated, was published as A Day of Light and Shadows in 2003.
I don't know what Schwartz is doing today -- his show airs on WNYC -- but here's my pale imitation:
Vin Scully's radio call of the 9th inning of Sandy Koufax's perfect game against the Chicago Cubs on September 9, 1965.I shovelled a lot of snow this weekend, but spring is coming ...
In late April 1983, the Cubs were 5-14 and hearing boos from some fans at Wrigley Field. After one of those losses, manager Lee Elia was not happy. (Warning: Adult language!)

I'm not sure what has gone wrong, but I have sent you (Mandy) an email. (As asked by you and Bob)
I have checked the email address and it is correct.
Steveb mandy here could you send me the email again please as I can not find it ok? Let me know you have sent it ok?

Hi, I have sent another email - just a short one this time with the title "Test Email".
Quite frankly if you haven't got that one then something strange has happened.
I have now sent you 3 emails.
Hi steveb mandy here bob bundy has my email if this is not working ask him why ok? Send message on here to say you got this ok please?
I have read your last post, but I still don't know why these emails are not getting through.
I have thought that it might be a problem with our ISP. I could try sending an email to Bob
to see if he gets that.
Have sent an email to you ok
Hi bob bundy mandy here have you sorted it out yet or not?
My email to Bob has got through and he has replied and that has got through.
Your email that you have just sent has not got through.
So I think we will have to discuss things on this website instead.
There are several sub topics that occur to me to do with decimals such as:
(1) Rounding (eg. round 3.54, 2.78 and 3.17 to 1 decimal place)
(2) Putting numbers in the right order (eg. 3.06, 3.60, 3.006, 3.0606)
(3) Arithmetic using decimals (add, subtract, multply, divide)
(4) Understanding things like that 0.01 is ten times as big as 0.001 and other things to do with place value.
Ah-ha I have just received your email Mandy. I will try replying to it.
I got email ok and have sent you one back to see if it works ok
Hi steveb mandy here so the email work ok now? Is that right? Let me know please?
I have now received two short emails from you. I have sent two short replies confirming that I have got them.
However I get the impression that you are not getting the emails that I have sent you. Have you got any of
the emails that I have sent you? Do you think that I can best help you on this website or by email?
You can help me. On website or email ok? And yes I did get your email ok? Do you want me to send you a list of the maths course I am doing then? Could you send me an email to make sure that I am getting them please?
Right I am just about to send another email....

hi steveb mandy here. how are you? i am fine? shell we start on you showing me how to add decimels then?
Hello Mandy (if you're there). Right shall we look at Bob's post about his 2.6 + 3.5 example ?
yes let's have a look at bob's post please?
Right now I need to get an idea of how well you understand this already.
Look at the right hand column of the addition. You will see that clearly 6 + 5 = 11 and that the "units" bit of it has been put
into the answer box as "1". Under the addition a "1" has been carried.
In the next column the addition is 2 + 3 (which would usually be 5), but there is one to carry meaning that 6 goes in the answer.
2 + 3 + 1 = 6

Did you know you can hand-pollinate plants with a paintbrush? Did you know that you can read e-books and support a neighborhood book store at the same time? True facts! These are things I learned when writing two new pieces for NeighborhoodNotes.com, my favorite hyper-local news site.
As of this morning, you can read this piece about small, independent booksellers who are testing the waters as online merchants and e-booksellers. I had a great time getting to know the owners of Portland's Broadway Books, St. Johns Booksellers and Microcosm Publishing while diving into the economic and even political issues that have arisen with changes in the publishing industry. My research for this piece harkened back to the Brave New World session on publishing that I attended last year at Wordstock. Honestly, I don't think the option of indie book stores selling e-books came up at that panel less than a year ago, so I hope this is a sign of new positive options for the industry.
For all you gardeners and locavores, check out this piece on seed saving. I've always wondered why anyone would do such a thing when seed packets are so cheap at big-box stores, but it turns out that seed saving can contribute mightily to the biodiversity of a region, or even a neighborhood. And if you're looking for new ways to dig in to gardening, this story includes advice and workshop dates from experts at Portland's Independence Gardens, Handmade Gardens, Portland Nursery and Herb'n Wisdom.
Each of these pieces was featured on The Oregonian's website, thanks to Neighborhood Notes' partnership with the Oregonian News Network. The ONN (not to be confused with the Onion News Network) is a hyper-local news stream from several Portland news outlets and blogs, and it's a good model of the collaboration and web-based innovation that's helping journalism move forward.

jasonhoutx needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 177 designs submitted by 39 freelance designers.
need new look to a old logo. The current logo is flat and has zero appeal.
The logo needs to change, but also can't go extream with change because of the current branding done on millions of dollars of inventory parts they manufacture. The parts also have limited space on them and they went with the "DP" branded on them.
Must have the "DP" together somewhere in the logo. Would like to possibly keep the rectangle shield somehow but in a updated form. Needs to have the full name of the company (Direct Purchase Quick Couplings, Inc.) with the "symbol/logo"
winning logo will need to be in adobe illustrator (.ai) and photshop (.psd) format. with all layers intact.
Can't be cartoonish. This company has a very professional image to keep and is a worldwide company. I has to appeal to many eyes.

Evanstar Spa
I am starting a small Spa and body care boutique offering facials, massage therapy, sound therapy, grooming and makeup. I will also sell jewelry and retail. I would like the identity to convey a combination of elegant and organic. The art nouveau style combines both of these and will bring the sense of beauty that I am looking for. Evanstar is my middle name and is a nick name for Venus. I believe in helping people find balance and well being. I use all non toxic and organic products. I also use tuning forks which create a vibration and use them on points on the body. They are tuned to the golden ratio. The golden ratio or golden mean is the ultimate balance and the basis of the theory I use in creating well being and beauty. I use old world holistic traditions combined with modern techniques and ingredients. I like to think about helping people my clients to glow like stars, letting their light shine.
My target audience is mostly women, although I really want men to feel welcome as well. My clients are mostly professionals between the ages of 20 and 60. I also work with a lot of stay at home mothers. My clients are classy and sophisticated. I do have a client base that is following me, but I want to attract new clients from this new neighborhood as well. The new location is on the border of 2 very high end neighborhoods.
1. I want a five pointed star with a circle around it. (I have played around with using a star fish as the star but I am open to ideas.)
2. I would like the art nouveau swirls and lines coming around it.
3. I would love if there is an inspiration from the golden ratio. Ecspecially the spirals.
4. The font should be elegant and easy to read.
5. The logo will be used on cards, a wooden sign on the street, and web site.
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
The first image is my last business and partnership called Golden. Here is the website to that http://www.goldenskinandbody.com
I really like the lines and circle in this image.
I really like the colors in this image. I love the gold with the blue. The colors do need to incorporate gold and brown to match the front of the building.

View the care and handling information for the Wedding Collection flowers here.[PDF]
Policies & plans
- Due to differences in monitor resolution, color intensity may vary from actual items
- Suggested delivery date of at least 2 days before your event
- Exposing flowers to a warmer environment will help the flower bloom, storing them in a cooler will slow down the opening process
Bridesmaid Bouquet Contains:
- 10 Red Roses
- 3 White Stock
- 2 White Limonium
- 4 Ruscus
To assure optimum freshness, different varieties may be substituted based on availability. In making substitutions, we take great care to ensure that we exceed your expectations, and that you will be satisfied with the flower quality and performance.Flower Care and Conditioning:
These flowers are shipped dry and may appear "wilted" when you first receive them. This is natural, as they have been without water for over 24 hours and are very thirsty. The initial hydration process is imperative so your flowers are at optimum freshness and appearance. Allow time for your flowers to revitalize (8 hours minimum).Follow the Care Guidelines Below:
- Unpack flowers immediately upon arrival
- Always start with a clean vase or display bucket
- Add flower food and tap water. Approx. 1-2 inches of water is sufficient
- Use clipper provided to carefully cut the plastic straps that hold the bouquets to the shipping box
- Paper wrap should be removed to inspect bouquet upon arrival, if there are any minor signs of bruising on the outer petals, they can be removed carefully before the event
- Remove hydration sponge and bag from the lower stems
- Cut, at an angle, ½ and inch off of the bottom of the stem with flower clipper provided
- Place in 1-2 inches of water making sure only the stems are in water without getting the ribbon wet
- Place stems in vase or bucket immediately after cutting to ensure proper hydration
- Place flower in a cool location out of sunlight and away from heat sources. (To maintain bloom developments keep in refrigeration at about 34-36 degrees. This will keep the flowers from opening further. Leaving at room temperature will promote natural development of bloom and will help blooms open beyond the stage at with they arrive.)
- Avoid touching flowers. Touching the petals may cause bruising that is not immediately visible but can appear as browning or wrinkles
- Avoid laying bouquets sideways on flat surfaces as this may damage the outer blooms.
- Keep bouquets in water until the last possible moment to keep flowers fresh and hydrated
- Do not expose the flowers to heat at any time before the function. (Do not leave outdoors or in a car, etc.)
- Before using, you may trim the stems within 1/2" of the ribbon or to desired length for final presentation
Delivery dates and prices fluctuate with seasonal availability and demand.
Although your order takes 10 days to process, we suggest you place the order from 10 to 30 days in advance. Since flowers are perishable and affected by weather, please have someone present to receive the flowers between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon if you live in a metropolitan area or 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. if you live in a suburban or rural area. This will ensure that your flowers are not left at the doorstep or sent back for next day delivery.
Additionally, shipments may be delayed by weather or other unforeseen circumstances resulting in shipping and/or delivery dates being modified.Order Cancellation Information :
Please note that all requests to cancel a floral order must be made within 4 business days of the scheduled delivery date of the order.

Crayons Without Border is an idea for a new NGO to provide children of parents with HIV, TB and Malaria (focused in East Africa) with art supplies so that that they can play while their parents wait in line for treatment.
Crayons Without Borders
I need a logo created to begin the branding and fund raising process for this non profit. With a logo and brand identity, it will be more effective to reach out to potential donors (i., corporations and grants).
- The logo must feel global, fun and creative. I need it to highlight the fact that the NGO is for children and has to do with art and learning. I'm open to colors and want this to feel fresh, modern and could even be provocative. I have not decided if a tag line is necessary as i think the name of the organization says a lot. The logo should be memorable and symbolic of kids.
- A logo and identity that feels old school, corporate or like a typical NGO like the March of Dimes.
