Thanks for the advice. I kind of figured it would be best to focus on the MCQ. However, I'm definitely not blowing the writing off. It just may be better use of my time to go over the writing stuff a few days before the exam.

Hi, joining this thread. Start studying tomorrow and take the exam in 3 weeks. Have my excel calendar spreadsheet made and ready. Done with lectures/videos on the 19th, then review for 6 days. (2 days I'm out of town) Gonna study twice as hard as I did for AUD and I did a ton of hours for that.
oh my god, just opened up to Chapter 1 and saw the anti-christ. I absolutely abhor economics. WHY WHY WHY do we need to do this stuff? I am going to cry.
Hah, I had just about the same reaction when I started the multiple choice for the first chapter of BEC today. The multiple choice questions for the cost accounting stuff won't even fit on the screen. So many have a solid paragraph of information followed by chart or two. I'm not doing too bad, but I'm quickly learning that BEC sucks. It's like the topics everyone hates all crammed into one exam.
Oh my goddd.... okay, since my college had a shortage of accounting electives, we were allowed to take a finance or economics class in place of ONE... so I took Econ 301 and my chapter one (Roger) is all the stuff we learned the entire semester, IN ONE CHAPTER. Oh dear... at least I am following it easily but I dreaded going and the Professor was the most boring guy on earth.
@soxfan can't wait to see these MC questions... not.
Hello everyone, have my exam tomorrow.... What do you usually do the night before the exam? I really hope it will be my last one...
Sorry for re-post
@Kattya, SLEEP!!! On last day, no point in draining yourself. You've studied as much as you could, and will only add confusion at this point. That said, good rest is key, and may let luck and mental capacity allow you to do your thing manana! Best of luck!
@ no.cruncher thanks! Oh wow your exam taking timeline is very impressive! How many hours would you say you studied for each one?
Way too many hours to count thats for sure. I read real slowly to absorb, and take a bunch of notes, then take even more time on multiple choice questions to know why, and the logical reason for the answer. All in all it is torturous, and I feel BEC is a different animal from all the other sections.
BEC Scoring Question: I'm confused. In one part of the becker material it says that the writen exercises are worth 40 out of the 100 points. A few pages later, it says that the written exercises are worth 15% of your grade. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how both can be true.
Anyone know for sure what the weight of the written portion is?
Waiting for my AUD score right now, but BEC has been scheduled for April 20. If I pass AUD, BEC is my last exam. The next 2 weeks can't go by fast enough.
Starting my BEC studying February 23 or 24. Anyone whose already been studying have any good tips for getting into BEC? I need to make sure I pass this on my first try in order to be done in time for my promotion.
@IMJUSTME - Written Communication is 15% (per AICPA Exam information bulletin)
@ no.cruncher - I couldn't agree more that BEC is an different animal... it's hard to logically flow the path from one chapter to the next as you can with FAR, AUD and REG. I am retaking BEC on Monday (god willing the test center doesn't power from this snow storm :( I live in RI). I've been reading the chapters very carefully this time and taking a ton of notes. I definitely like to focus on the logic more and let the questions work themselves out. Good luck! I hope you pass so you can get your promotion! I need to pass so I can plan my wedding!
Can anyone help me with this question?
The component of COSO's framework for internal control that includes the goal of proper measurement of transaction is
a. The control environment
b. Control activities
c. Monitoring
d. Information and communication
The correct answer is d. information and communication, however when I looked up the explanation it's under the information processing control of control activities. I'm confused!
@ Sudad - Looking at the material quickly, Information & Communications is used to ID, capture, process and distribute information supporting the accomplishment of financial reporting objectives, which includes:
- Financial reporting systems being designed to capture all financial transactions in a manner that allows for timely, current and accurate reporting.
While Control Activities focuses more on the policies and procedures used to implement internal control - such as risk assessment principles, selection and development of policies/procedures and controls, and information technology systems used to achieve the financial reporting objectives.
Info & Communication - focuses on financial reporting objectives, giving information that is relevant, reliable an timely.
Control Activities - represents the policies and procedures used to implement internal controls.
I hope this helps a little!
Good luck!
Took BEC this afternoon and felt like it was the longest exam out of them... Still surprises me how a small topic can appear over and over (I had 4 questions) about the same thing... And then none on some of the big sections Becker focused on.... Hoping for the best... Good luck to you guys!!!
@I Want My Life Back 10.12, Thanks, I was stunted!
I automatically Assumed COSO: CRIME:
Control Activities: "ARCCS" = Authorization + Recording + Custody of Assets + Comparison + Segregation of Duties
@Iwantmylifeback, thank you! I was really confused between control activities and information and communications. Anyway, I see that your exam is tomorrow, good luck to you! Mine is on tuesday. I'm really nervous about this one, maybe because it might be my last one.
@Iwantmylifeback, I thought it's sunday.... hahaha... confused again!
Thanks @Sudad! Good luck to you too! My testing center was closed yesterday and today because of the snow storm hitting New England. I am praying to god they open Monday! Thankfully the Prometric Center I taking it at is in a plaza with a lot of other office buildings, so hopefully they are resorting power and plowing! I would hate to study my butt off for this thing and then find out 8am Monday morning they are closed when I have a 9am exam! Ughh! Can't think that way though... have to push that out of my head and just focus on this stupid BEC... Can't wait to get this over with... I want to be done with this exam forever and forever!!
Good luck to everyone sitting in February!
Well two weeks to go for me and I start my review. I have two weeks till 02/23 to rework all HW and reread the book. Hopefully I will have a few days to do review practice becker tests and read all the NINJA notes once or twice.
If anyone has any suggestion to help me remember the all formulas or what I should focus on in B2 & B3 that would be greatly appreciated since these two sections gave me a fit the first time through. Hopefully this will be the last two weeks I ever have to study for this exam so time to buckle down and get after it.
Good Luck to everyone tackling this exam by the end of this window!!
@kts1010 - I would suggest not killing yourself to remember every single solitary formula, you'll kill yourself and possibly end up overloading and forgetting information. Someone told me before I sat for BEC to make sure I knew the Price Variance nemonic devices, PURE DADS and boy was I glad I did when I took the test! I would suggest making sure you know and understand the logic of the topics and then the formulas will come more naturally and with less memorization.
I will say from my first experience with BEC, there was more short logic questions than lengthy math problems. I would also go into the Witten Simulations with at least an hour and really make sure you pace yourself through the MC and as you write the essays. I have always finished AUD, REG and FAR with plenty, I mean oodles of time left when I was done. I submitted BEC with like 10 seconds left on the clock!
Good luck!! It sounds like you'll do great with the amount of review time you have!
Can you expand on PURE DADS please...
for ROE = Dupont Analysis I came up with "No strings attached/u say?" Sorry I do whatever it takes, to keep it interesting and in mind lol
DUPONT Analysis:
= Ni/Sales x Sales/Assets x Assets/Equity
= Net Profit Margin x Total Asset Turnover Ration x Equity Leverage Multiplier
@ no.cruncher - I'd be happy to! There are a couple nemonics Becker has to offer in Price Variances that I find to some of the most easiest and helpful devices to know in BEC.
PURE DADS relates to Direct Material and Direct Labor Price Variances.
P - Price
U - Usage
R - Rate
E - Efficiency
Price and Usage relate to Direct Materials and Rate and Efficiency relate to Direct Labor.
The next piece of the puzzle is DADS, spelling left to right and down:
P - DA (Difference)(Actual)
U - DS (Difference)(Standard)
R - DA (Difference)Actual)
E - DS (Difference)(Actual)
- SAD => Standard - Actual = Difference
- Price: (Std Price - Actual Price)(Actual Quantity)
- Usage: (Std Quantity - Actual Quantity)(Std Price)
- Rate: (Std Rate - Actual Rate)(Actual Hrs Worked)
- Efficiency: (Std Hrs Worked - Actual Hrs Worked)(Std Rate)
I hope you find this helpful! It's a littler difficult to explain just typing!
I took my BEC exam this morining February 9th. Does anyone know when the score will be released? I do not understand the Nasba Website. I don't know what window I am in. Perhaps my brain is fried......
@sploofy - I also took BEC on Feb 9th. We fall in in the Day 21-45 window so we'll get our scores on Feb. 25th. Since Feb. 25th is a Monday, it is very likely that the scores will be actually be available on Friday, Feb 22nd. Good luck!

So angry right now I swear I can feel my blood boiling... I am supposed to sit for my BEC rematch tomorrow... I just drove down to the Warwick, RI testing center, they are plowed AND have power and what does Prometric do... close the stupid center for tomorrow.... They are lucky they are closed and not picking up the phone because boy would I give them a piece of my mind right now....
Thankfully I was able to reschedule for Saturday, 2/16. I know I should be looking at this right now as an opportunity to study and prepare more... but I arranged a lot of appointments for my wedding this week in anticipation of the exam being behind me. So now I am going to have to deal with 2ft of snow, wedding appointments, valentine's day and trying to keep my cool before this exam.
I need a glass of wine...
Thanks for listing BEC family!
@I Want My Life Back
I feel you but you are close so just try and keep your cool this week since you are so close to being finished. I also just can't wait to be done I can't believe I have a chance to be all done in two weeks. I really pray this is going to be it and I can move on to new things in my life.
I am having a major road block since the weekend and having a hard time studying! I got up at 4 am today and feel like I've retained nothing and the questions in the Wiley book did not go well this morning. Ugh. Feeling totally deflated. Any ideas on how to get my study mojo back? Thanks!!
@kts1010 - Thanks! :) You're right... the thought of potentially being done with this exam for ever in just a few days, or weeks, in your hand, should be all the motivation I need to get through BEC! Best of luck to you!!
@grunona - Maybe your a morning person, but waking up at 4am to study doesn't seem like the best way to go about retaining information. I am sure you're half asleep in just in a panic to study. I find I do poorly on MC questions when I am tired or hungry haha. Make sure when you study you have a clear head and feel focused, otherwise, I would listen to your body needing a break. You have to balance studying with rest and time to clear your head. Then when you do hit the books again you'll feel more refreshed going into it. Good luck finding your study mojo!
I have a question for the masses. I have taken BEC before, failed with a 74. I took the holidays off and have just finished back through the videos, but that took longer than I thought basically cause I should've never taken a break. Now I have two weeks to the day before testing.
I have the Ninja Notes, Audio and Wiley.
How would you spend your time studying? Appreciate any input. It's been real tough getting back to studying how I did to pass the FAR & REG. Thanks!
Hi All,
I want to know if there have been any changes from 2011 to 2013 in BEC. I plan on giving my exam in April, but dont see a post started for that quater yet. I have wiley 2011 materials and passed BEC in 2011 but need to give it again since credit expired. Appreciate any reply. Thanks.
Was going through the B2 questions today and ran into this ridiculously complicated problem (even more so than usual). Got it wrong and when I looked at the explanation it said something along the lines of "This question is really hard. It is highly unlikely that you will ever see anything like this on the CPA exam." Thanks for the heads up Becker, glad I wasted 10 minutes trying to figure it out when I won't see anything like it on the exam hah.
MAN! B1-B3 is complicated exam is in 2 weeks, could barely get throught the questions! i mean barely! so now i am just going t review those three chapters and leave 4days to complete the remaining three! hopefully thats not a bad bad
Ugh!! Exam is in a week!! Studying with Becker, and it seems like my progress tests are all over!! Sometimes I'm in the 80's and others in the high 60's!! Has anyone else run into this and passed?! It's driving me crazy!!
I find B2 the most difficult and confusing chapter, so there's some light after the tunnel.
Working through the final review period now with a week left until the test (2/20). I've worked through all of the Becker MCQs a second time and have rewritten the NINJA notes once.
For the next seven days, I'll just read the NINJA notes once or twice a day and do one or two progress tests.
I think I'm going to skip the Becker Final Exams this time around. I found the Auditing ones to just be a confidence deflator and it appears several people have felt the same about BEC. I'm starting to run into the same stretch I did for Auditing where I'm getting sick of the material. I just want to sit and take it at this point. But, that probably means I just have to work harder.
@soxfan. I keep running into that question during my progress tests too. I agree, it's quite annoying.
I'd appreciate if someone could clarify a BEC solution to a question.
Here is the question:
Hi-Tech Inc. has determined that it can minimize its weighted-average cost of capital (WACC) by using a debt/ equity ratio of 2/ 3. If the firm's cost of debt is 9% before taxes, the cost of equity is estimated to be 12% before taxes, and the tax rate is 40%, what is the firm's WACC? a. 6.48% b. 7.92% c. 9.36% d. 10.80%
The answer to the solution is choice C, but how did they get 2/5 and 3/5 from the ratio of 2/3?? See solution given below. I understand everything else but this, - it must be getting late and it must be obvious and I am just not seeing it......:(
The requirement is to calculate the weighted-average cost of capital (WACC). Answer (c) is correct because the WACC is calculated as 9.36% {2/ 5 × [9% × (1 – 40%)]} + (3/ 5 × 12%).

"No big changes," between Japanese and western version of Xillia, says Baba
Tales of Xillia producer Hideo Baba has told the PS Blog there are no big changes between the original Japanese version of the game and the international version. Baba said this was because the team wanted to provide "the same gameplay experience as much as possible between all regions." In another part of the interview, Baba reiterated that is the game sells well, more Tales games will be released in the west in the future. Namco Bandai will release Tales of Xillia in North America and Europe in 2013.

Copley trustees place levies on ballot
COPLEY — At the July 2 Copley Board of Trustees meeting, a resolution to place replacement fire/EMS and road bridge levies on the Nov. 4 General Election ballot was unanimously approved.
"We received the yield estimates for the renewals and the replacements of the fire levy and the road and bridge levy," said Fiscal Officer Janice Marshall prior to the vote.
According to Marshall, the following yields would be expected: $1,630,057 for a replacement of the 3.3-mill fire/EMS levy; $1,622,813 for a renewal of the 3.3-mill fire/EMS levy; $1,234,892 for a replacement of the 2.5-mill road and bridge levy; and $1,229,404 for a renewal of the 2.5-mill road and bridge levy.
Marshall said the trustees had until Aug. 6 to decide which version of each levy to put on the ballot. After Council President Dale Panovich noted the trustees were not scheduled to meet again until Aug. 6, there was a discussion regarding whether the trustees should call a special meeting before that date. However, all three trustees agreed they were sufficiently prepared on the issue to vote during the July 2 meeting.
"The only thing to decide is replacement or renewal," said Trustee Helen Humphrys. "They're the same, basically. I will say for the record we've always done replacement levies, although last time we did not because it was exactly the same dollar amount, but I do believe that replacement keeps up with inflation."
Panovich agreed the trustees should go with the replacement levies, noting "every little dollar helps."
In other business:
- Marshall received unanimous approval from the trustees to submit Copley's 2015 budget proposal to the Summit County Fiscal Office.
"It's based on conservative estimates that carry over figures from 2014 and also conservative estimates of revenues to be received in 2015," she said. "This budget will not include revenues received from the fire/EMS and road and bridge levies, because those levies will not have been approved by voters before July 15."
The county requires the township to submit the estimated budget prior to July 20, Marshall said.
- The trustees approved the promotion of Jim Logsdon from firefighter/paramedic to chief fire inspector for the Copley Fire Department.
Fire Chief Michael Benson said the promotion will become effective Aug. 2.
"That will give us time to transition him from the shift he's on to the day shift," he said.
- The Copley Fire Department has received a grant award of $4,250 from the Ohio Department of Public Safety, Division of Emergency Medical Services to be utilized for training and equipment.
- Copley Police Chief Michael Mier's request to purchase software for the mobile data terminals used in the police cruisers was unanimously approved by the trustees.
"This software will provide for AVL, which is automatic vehicle locator," the chief said. "With the new dispatch system, if we have this feature on the laptops in our cruisers, the dispatch center will be able to locate the cruisers on a map at all times. It enhances the officers' safety, as well as efficiency as the dispatch center, which will be able to identify where our cruisers are as they assign them to go to calls."
The program's cost for one year is $1,800, said Mier, who noted the software is already being utilized in Barberton and Norton.
- A request for Keith Moore, Copley's assistant fire chief, to attend the 2014 Ohio Fire & Rescue Officer Development Conference in Columbus July 25-28 was unanimously approved by the trustees.
"The cost is estimated at about $1,400 for all the workshops, meals and lodging while he's there," Benson said.
- The trustees approved an expenditure of up to $1,500 to show an outdoor movie at Copley-Fairlawn Middle School Aug. 1 in conjunction with the Copley Heritage Days celebration.
"This is something through the police department, yet it's a township-wide program," said Mier. "The movie will be geared toward the children in our community, and obviously we are hoping their parents will come as well. It should be a family event."
The estimated cost includes a movie license, refreshments and a portable screen, Mier noted.
The Copley trustees canceled the July 16 meeting. The next will be Aug. 6 at 6 p.m. at Copley Town Hall, located at 1540 S. Cleveland-Massillon Road.

I have a website and we bought some advertisement on neobux.com. We bought 1000 views hoping to get more users on the website. We have a VPS with 1gb ram and 1gb burstable running apache. When we started our add on the website we got around 1000 views in less than 1 minute. As we see other wites can handle this sort of traffic but not ours. Is there some sort of fix how we can view this because this sort of advertising is needed to run the website. What it now does when we activate the website it just loads very very slow and eventually goes to a blank screen. We don't have static pages because it is up to the user to advertise our website to get more referrals. We are running a Pay to Click script.
Could anyone help?

Man of La Mancha
Over the past 45 years plenty of big-voiced actors (from Richard Kiley to Raul Julia to Robert Goulet) have "dreamed the impossible dream" in Man of La Mancha, but Ten Thousand Things' new production promises a different take on this interpretation of the Don Quixote tale. Former Theatre de la Jeune Lune stalwart Steven Epp stars as both Quixote and the story's author, Cervantes. Luverne Seifert—another Jeune Lune regular who has also appeared on stages across the Twin Cities—plays loyal companion Sancho, and Regina Marie Williams takes on the role of Aldonza. The rest of the company is made up of just three actors: Matt Guidry, Tracey Maloney, and T. Mychael Rambo. This minimalist approach worked wonders last year when the company stripped My Fair Lady to its bare bones, and director Michelle Hensley has been on a remarkable streak over the last two years.
Fridays, Saturdays, 8 p.m.; Sundays, 4 p.m. Starts: April 15. Continues through April 24, 2011

Architects play an integral role in shaping the way we interact with our physical environment. We are passionate about designing buildings and environments using innovative design solutions.
A new two-storey office building designed for a 120 person engineering consulting firm. The unique building aesthetic was designed to address a modern corporate image and appeal to increased staff satisfaction and retention. Some amenities include, indoor courtyard, social area and galley-style kitchenette.
Energy consumption is 75% below NRCAN average and 71% below BOMA average for similar building type. Triple-glazed windows, a unique multi-zone mechanical system, building orientation, and clerestory lighting/atrium for daylighting contributed to this high-performance, energy efficient building.Project Portfolio >>
Located in Elkford's commercial and retail centre, The Elkford Community Centre creates a bold, unique statement for the community. A mixed-use spatial program provides ample space for Travel BC offices, a daycare facility, 300 person hall, small group class rooms and commercial grade kitchen. The use of Cross Laminated Timbers (CLT), glu-lam beams and structural insulated panels allowed for quick construction in a remote location and produced a high-insulating, energy-efficient building envelope.
The community centre was highlighted by BC Wood Council for innovative use of wood systems. It also received the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) Wood WORKS! Community Recognition Award.Project Portfolio >>
This project involved the retrofitting of a bowling alley into office space. A new building envelope was done to enhance energy efficiency and improve aesthetics. New mechanical and electrical systems were put in to reduce long-term operating costs for the client and improve sustainability by reducing carbon emissions. Spatial planning and 3D modeling allowed visioning for current needs and future growth.
A substantial capital asset valuation was realized; our client was able to purchase and renovate the building for less cost than constructing a new one. Efficient planning allowed for tenant space and additional revenue.Project Portfolio >>

So Sweet!
- Payal Shah Karwa |
- 21 February 2012
Cadbury Dairy Milk still stands to be one of the strongest brands in India. We have seen it evolve from a 'cutesy,' brand to a quirky comic one pegged on the premise of 'Celebration'. It's latest communication strategy based on 'meethe mein kuch meetha' has seen a disciplined growth and increasing consumer endearment owing to its slice of life-like stories and their execution. It is interesting to note, however, that from the usual TV route, CDM has extended to a BTL route for its latest campaign with the much-talked about ''Cadbury Dairy Milk Meetha Dinner Contest". We spoke to them to get a detailed insight into the idea and the response it elicited from the audiences.
The Indian Ad Industry is playing by the consumers' emotions. Probably it is the 'research effect' which says that 95% sales decisions are based on emotions than rational reasons. For instance, India's deep rooted culture of strong familial ties which brands are using as a hook to advertise. Be it the new Chevrolet Beat (father-son ) ad or the Toyota Fortuner which is pegged as the Family SUV, they rub you right, or should we say- to your left.
However, the magnum opus of all Ad campaigns which whisked away a series of Awards this year has been 'The Cadbury Dairy Milk Meetha' campaign. When we spoke to him about the overall thought behind the campaign, Venkatesan Chandramouli, Director – Snacking and Strategy, Cadbury Kraft Foods said 'In the last 8 years, Cadbury Dairy Milk has consistently positioned itself in traditional sweet consumption occasions. In 2011, we seeded ourselves in the Post Dinner dessert space thru our 'Khaane ke baad, meethe mein kuch meetha ho jaaye' campaign. The habit of seeking meetha post a family dinner not only provides physiological satiation, but also enhances the sweet, family bonding moments. Our campaign seeded CDM as the perfect option for "post dinner meetha moments."
Taking from that premise, CDM rolled out an integrated campaign to connect with the 'family unit' and getting them closer with some 'meetha moments'. "We also believe that having dinner with your loved ones creates an environment which fosters family conversation and also strengthens family bond" says Venkatesh. "So building on this thought, we invited people to participate in a contest that would give them a chance to enjoy a special dinner followed by Cadbury Dairy Milk Meetha. The contest was called the 'Cadbury Dairy Milk Meetha Dinner contest'. The idea was to make dinner a happy occasion relished with Cadbury Dairy Milk in the end. With this, we not only wished to make our consumers happier but also strengthen the role of Cadbury Dairy Milk as a Post dinner dessert."
The contest goes like this:
- Participants were asked to share their favourite family dinner story for which they received an outstanding 47,000 entries.
- An integrated campaign was executed to invite participation through print, radio and digital mediums, in the cities of Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad.
- Based on the best stories, we selected the winners
- As a last leg of this activity, we are in the process of visiting the homes of winner families and making their dinner time a real special one.
CDM is using experiential marketing in a big way we see. But while most brands use short term plugs to engage and interact with consumers, Cadbury's taking their campaign and consumers quite seriously. Isn't that sweet now?

Molli icons set for docks by link6155Watch
©2013-2016 link6155
Introducing Molli, a smooth icons set
You can use these icons for anything (except for redistributing/modifying without my consent), but I recommend you use this objectdock skin: fav.me/d6tjlw5
These also look great with fav.me/d6t7tod or fav.me/d77sb6r
I'm currently no longer accepting icon requests for this icon pack.
Thank you! Nice work
Thank you, very nice.
Any chance of having these in higher resolution? 128x128 at least...
Holy Molli ! Awesome set
How do you install this?
These are just png images. To use them, you would need some kind of launcher/dock such as rocketdock, objectdock, etc.
Nice Work !
Thanx for updating.
First of all I gotta say this looks really great and I´m very happy with the inclusion of PaintToolSAI, though I gotta ask: "Why are they PNG files?" is it a convenience thing or is there another reason?
They were meant to be used with docks, which most uses PNGs.
Oh I see, I didn´t really know what to put on my dock though, do you use it instead of taskbar icons?
Looks amazing! I would like to see an Origin and TeamSpeak icon added.
So nobody even wonders how to to even install the icons in the first place??
they are for object dock and if you want to install them you will need Icon Package
The icons are just images, you can use them for anything you wish such as on a dock or any launcher.
muy bueno
Since I find this iconset searching for "ElementaryOS", why don't you make a version for Linux? I mean, a version of this iconset and a GTK theme.
It's tagged Elementary OS because the whole suite was inspired by Elementary.
I don't have any plans to expand to other platforms, but we'll see
I don't have any plans to expand to other platforms, but we'll see
linux is very easy, you just put images as icons in folders and then apply them. Quite easy!
That's up to the user to do that, not me.
Nice icon set
PS: Please can you make a vanilla rocket dock skin and please can you add update 1 support to vanilla?
Nice icon set
PS: Please can you make a vanilla rocket dock skin and please can you add update 1 support to vanilla?
Any chance you could add .ico files? I'd love to use these as taskbar icons.
If only these icons were for the whole computer too...
amazing iconset
simply amazing, but just like said by other, 256*256 even 512 is the way to go my friend. cheers
The icons were meant to be used on a dock, hence why it's in the "Dock Icons" Category. I don't think I'll make high res icons because I don't have the time to right now.
Its a pity these are only 64 x 64... would it be possible to get them in 1024 x 1024 sizes instead? I'd like to use them as a replacement for my app icons on my Mac but they are much too small.
I may make them larger up to 128 for pc, but 1024 is way too big for me as I don't have the time to make such large icons.
Hmm, 128x128 is still rather small, 256x256 is probably the sweet spot. Well, if you do I'll check them out again.
beautiful icons
Good work, can you make for ultraiso and restorator plz ??
Is there a way to convert these to .ico so i can replace my taskbar Icons?
You can use converticon.com/ to convert them, but they won't look very clear as they are 64x64 while the taskbar icons are 32x32.
Yea i'll wait till you release the icons haha it makes it so you can see the pixels when you change the dimensions to 32x32

LMR Logo Bot
This is my first attempt on building an 'arty' bot.
I didn't know before I started, that this would be the most time instensive robot I 've ever build. But I've learned a lot of new things like: painting, polymorph etc.
As the name suggested, it should look like the robot in the LMR logo. I am not sure if it looks similar, but ok, this is my first art work, so be patient with me.
As usual, an Arduino clone has been used for the electronic brain. To hide most of the electronic stuff, a brain from Polymorph has been created.
The robot platform is the Robot Rover for Arduino from Robot Shop, decorated with sheets of Polystyrene. The most difficult part was to color the black tracks into yellow.
- 2 Maxbotix EZ1 ultrasonic sensors for obstacle avoiding. They fits perfectly into the 35mm film rolls I've been using as robot eyes.
- 2 LDRs for ambient light detectors
All sensors has been put together with the Duo LEDs into the film rolls. See my blog post about howto connect 2 ultrasonic sensors.
- A LVDSMC from Pololu has been choosen as motor controller for the GM9 1:143 geared motors. Build with FETs it brings the most power out of 4 AA cells for the motors.
- 2 Duo LEDs (red/green) as distance indicators. No object in sight meens green LEDs are glowing, in a middle distance of 30cm the LEDs glow yellow. Near objects are shown red.
- A BlinkM RGB LED will illuminate the Polymorph brain, to indicate the robots emotions.
Update: 05.03.2010
A POV (persistence of vision) display has been added to the LMR Logo-Bot. Now the robot can write messages of light into the air. Because of the low speed of the robot the messages can only be seen by a bulb exposure taken with my digicam. In the second video you can see the POV display in action.
The POV display is made out of 8 blue LEDs. Because I don't have enough free ports a PCF8574 I2C port expander chip has been used to connect the POV display to the Arduino.
Further work:
- the front servo needs to be move a little bit, to give more place for the POV display.
- I've ordered some RGB LEDs for the brqain illumination
- Hack the GM9 motors to add wheel encoders
and that's a very good
and that's a very good looking bot you got there :D
Haha, this is just
jeje... very cool...
I've been waiting for this to happen. Congratulations for being the first to actually do it. It looks great and I love the technical details on the "super secret" object sensors.
Hiding the uC in the brain may be a necessity, but as art goes, that is brilliant!
(And I will repeat it once more: it is a shame that those tracks are no longer available in the intended colour: YELLOW!)
Cmon, Man! You were almost there.
Hurrah for Logobot!
Respect, this is very funny!!

That remark was made when I just thought it would be a good looker! Now with the new marksups on the video, I saw what it actually do, nice job! :D

I'd like to be among the first to announce: The fight for gay marriage is over.
Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in two cases related to same-sex marriage. One challenges California's ban on gay marriage known as Proposition 8. The other questions the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA. Perhaps you heard about them?
Media pundits are offering their predictions about how the justices will decide — rulings might be delivered in June — but the truth is that no one knows for sure. The nine justices are free to rule as they choose.
Among the many potential outcomes is an intriguing and hopeful one: full equality for gay and lesbian people in all 50 states. It's far from a certainty, but the possibility is mind-bending. The justices could determine that the U.S. Constitution protects the rights of gay people as forcefully as they determined it protects the rights of corporations.
However, the justices' questions and comments during these hearings made it seem likely that they'll duck the big question about equal treatment and deliver rulings based on smaller issues. Informed observers agree that the likely outcome of such an approach would be that Prop 8 is narrowly overturned to affect only California, allowing marriages to resume there, and that Section 3 of DOMA is overturned, allowing the federal government to recognize same-sex marriages performed by the states.
In short: a big step forward, but a much smaller step than the full equality scenario described above.
It's interesting to contemplate what such a decision might mean for the country and for Georgia, where voters approved a gay marriage ban in 2004.
The once extremely unpopular idea of gay marriage has been gaining support with a speed unprecedented for controversial social issues. It would continue apace after such a ruling. In the following years, more and more blue and purple states would begin to recognize marriage equality through state law. Or even through voter referenda to overturn anti-gay amendments. The final holdouts would be — does anyone doubt this? — the former slave-and-segregation states, including Georgia.
There are so many great things to love about Georgia, but a willingness to embrace constructive change has never been among its admirable qualities. I tend to think of Georgia the way you might think of a mentally deranged family member. You certainly don't love him or her any less, and you try not to take it personally when they say or do things that are insulting to you. You just remember that they don't know any better. But there's no denying: Georgia is a severe case.
Still, it's almost impossible to imagine a scenario in which gay people in deep red states remain unequal for long. The court's half-measures would create a legal situation so lopsided that the justices would eventually be faced with the same question again. And again. And again. What is the government's interest in depriving same-sex couples equal access to marriage? The justices can't punt that one forever. A "states' rights" argument doesn't cut it, because even a state must eventually give a reason for depriving its citizens of the rights that are enjoyed by others. The reasoning is already on legally tenuous ground, and is unlikely to become more persuasive with time.
Bereaved gay and lesbian people would no longer have strange relatives coming into their homes after their partner dies to claim their possessions and assets. Hospital visitation would no longer depend on strangers' acts of grace or prudence, but would be a legal right. As would the more than 1,000 other legal rights that couples enjoy only through marriage.
But perhaps most importantly, the United States would make good on its initial promise of not dividing its citizenry into separate classes based on arbitrary characteristics of no real legal interest to shower one caste with benefits while depriving others of rights and dignity.
This particular decision remains to be seen, but last week did make certain that the fight is over. The undeniable subtext of everything that was said, both inside and outside the courtroom, was that opponents are now just delaying the inevitable. The process of implementing a victory has begun.
Hats off to all the straight allies. Welcome to those who join us in our call for freedom and fairness. Implementing a victory still requires allies, and your crucial supporting voices will help us make history. Together, we'll continue to unlock all the implications of what it means to found a country on the notion that everyone is created equal.
Gay people's "war on marriage" is over. And it was a funny sort of war, wasn't it? No casualties, no injuries, no destruction of any kind to anyone or anything. The spoils of this victory — equality, love, and freedom — will be shared by all, and they'll benefit everyone. (Leave it to the gays to even make war fabulous).
For our next act, we'll do something even more extraordinary. We'll bring style, energy, and gender equality to marriage, which is the prospect that has frightened the anti-gay brigade from the very beginning. Great days lie ahead, whatever the court decides. It gets better and better and better.

I am having a similar problem, I think...
I have jetpak and see the subscribers under site stats, yet my theme also has a subscriber tab in the dashboard and those were the subscribers that transferred over from my wordpress hosted site to my self-hosted site.
Now I'm not sure who is getting the posts. I have a few names on the theme's subscriber list that don't appear on the jetpak list. How do I reconcile or combine the lists so that everyone is getting the posts?
also, the jetpak plugin should allow for an import csv function so that we can transfer / add the original subscribers from the wordpress hosted blog.
