Complete List of Resources to Become a Web Designer
First of all this article brings you good news: anyone can become a web designer!
Secondly, being a web designer requires a lot of work, many hours spent searching for images, etc., infinite discussions with the client, many nights spent finishing projects due to the need to meet deadlines, entire days waiting for inspiration and many times the rapport between the work invested and the payment received isn't favorable. In spite of these disadvantages there are a lot of people ready to join this niche.
Here, anyone interested in web design can find a complete list of resources that could guarantee improved preparation on the road to becoming a web designer.
Complete List of Resources to Become a Web Designer
To Study or Not to Study... That is the Question
The first question that might be in the mind of someone wishing to become a web designer is if any studies are compulsory or only optional? The answer can vary, some believe that a diploma represents a guarantee of knowledge, but most agree with the fact that all that really matters is the person themselves and their capabilities. Probably the opinion of the great web designers should have a great relevance in establishing the answer to this problem. Here, you will find the opinion of the best web designers:
- Group Interview Advice for Students and New Designers
- The Web Design Community Offers Advice to Beginners
- Can You Teach Yourself Web Design?
- Web/Graphic Designer Group Interview
- Q & A: A Career in Web Design
In brief, opinions about the necessity of a university or any superior studies in web design, the majority of designers agree with the idea that it is highly recommended to graduate from school in relation to web design, but definitely not a must. The most important thing for the majority of clients is not a diploma, the only issue for a customer is the quality of the work. Usually, between a web designer with ten diplomas and an irrelevant portfolio and another designer that hasn't got any studies in the domain, but holds an attractive portfolio the latter will win.
The Principles of Web Design
The arsenal of a web designer consists mostly of inspiration, creativity, hard work, but at the same time a lot of skill is required as in the basic principles of web design, color theory, logo design, and typography. The next posts will introduce you the theoretical concepts of web design:
- The Principles of Design
- 10 Principles of Effective Web Design
- Principles of Design
- Principles of Design
- 9 Essential Principles for Good Web Design
The principles of any domain or science are only a set of guides, these are really important, but in most cases their applicability consists of saying what is wrong or correct, not what is good or failing. None of the principles can state that by inserting a red based logo into the design of the website, it is the best in the world, but a basic principle of web design claims that the logo should be the essence of the website. Anyway, what is good to keep in mind is that learning by heart all the theory is useless without many hours of practice.
Important Fields of Web Design
Web design is a cumulative field situated at the intersection of many others, the most important being: color theory, logo design, and typography.
Color Theory
Color theory is very important because any design without color is a dead project; usually colors have the power to make everything more attractive. What can be frustrating is the fact that there are almost an infinite number of colors, but good color combinations are very few in comparison. For further information about this take a look at the next resources:
- Understanding and the Meaning of Color Within Design
- Beginners Guide to Using the Power of Color in Web Design
- 25 Free Color Tools Apps and Palette Generators
- Color Theory in Web Design: Blue Color Scheme
- A Look into Color Theory in Web Design
- Color Theory in Graphic Design & Web Design
- Color Theory Helps With Design
- Color Theory, The Color Wheel and Color Schemes
- Color Theory for Designers: The Meaning of Color
A logo is also a strategic element of a design page: usually it creates the first impression. It is very important because somehow it is the element which makes the passage between the online world- inserted in the header of the website and the true reality – inserted on a business card, a poster or a cover page. Here are valuable resources both for amateurs and real pros in logo design:
- The Evolution of the Logo
- Eight Helpful Rules for Logo Designers
- The Complete Guide to Becoming a Logo Designer
- 12 Logo Design Mistakes to Avoid
- A Visual Explanation of 20 Logo Design Processes
- Logo Design Process Tutorial
- How to Properly Format and Deliver a Logo
- Logo Design Tips & Interview with Leighton Hubbell
- Logo Design Fun: Games, Parodies and More
- Logo Design History
Even if a letter is small and easy to neglect, a professional web designer can't afford to do it. It is really important to select the proper font, moreover, the construction of a logo is usually based on typography so don't ignore it. In the list below every aspect of typography is treated very well, enough to make everyone aware of it:
- Learn the Basics: 25+ Sites and Resources to Learn Typography
- 29 Principes for Making Great Font Combinations
- The Beauty of Typography: Writing Systems and Calligraphy of the World
- 50 Helpful Typography Tools and Resources
- CSS Typographic Tools and Techniques
- Web Design is 95% Typography
- 101 Typography Resources for Web Designers

Photoshop and Illustrator
A web designer uses his imagination a lot, but it is turned into something palpable with the help of two great tools that make everything easier: Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. There are many other programs, but these are the best and most common ones. No problem if you don't know how to use them; on the Internet are a lot of resources that present entire courses for Photoshop and Illustrator.
- Learn Photoshop: All of the Basics for Beginners
- Learn Adobe Illustrator: All the Basics for Beginners
The best method of learning web design is with tutorials. This kind of post – and these vary from those for beginners to the most advanced users, have the purpose of presenting the steps in the process of creating a layout (tutorials have many other themes, not only web design). Usually, there are two types of tutorials: video or written format, both of them are good. The written format is better because the author can present more details, the steps are very well defined and it is easy to check along the process if you have done something wrong or missed a step (it is perfect if the tutorial has some screen shots of the most important steps). This list of tutorials is suitable for any web designer and for any preferences:
- Web Design Tutorials
- The Ultimate Collection of Brilliant Web Design Tutorials
- Best Photoshop Layout Design Tutorials
- 20 High Quality Photoshop Web Design Tutorials
- 40 Greatest Web Interface Design Tutorials
- 150 Adobe Photoshop Web Design Layout Tutorials
- 12 of the Best Photoshop Web Design Tutorials
- 40 Grunge Web Design Tutorials
- 20 Most Wanted Web Design Tutorials
- 30 Super Fresh Web Design Tutorials
Some consider the tutorials still incomplete and don't read or simply ignore these. It is an unhappy situation, but still there is a remedy: e-Books. The books below are for those who need more information or simply don't rate the power of tutorials.
- Resourceful Free e-Books for Designers and Developers
- 10 Essential Free E-Books for Web Designers
- 20 Excellent Free E-Books for Web Designers
- 12 Must Have Free Downloadable Web Design Books
- 9 More Useful and Free Downloadable Web Design Books
- 30+ Best Websites to Download Free E-Books
Human beings are characterized by subjectivity so nobody can evaluate their work at full potential, some overestimate or underestimate the quality of their layouts so to have a better opinion about the level of someone's work it is highly recommended to use feedback from the best web designers. It is easy to find a decent and objective opinion about your work, check these:
Job Boards
Now, the guys who follow these resources are ready for work and of course ready to get paid. It is better to work from home as a freelancer, but it is also great to work for a web design company, it is up to you. Anyway, as a freelancer there are many job boards with a lot of good opportunities. Some job boards are well-known some less so, but this fact isn't very important, what matters most, is the final product the clients receive. It is impossible not to find some good projects on these job boards.

To conclude, being a web designer is by far not an easy task, but it is really worth it for a creative person to enjoy this job. Nothing can compare with the feeling of doing something awesome which is appreciated by the clients. The new standards of HTML5 and CSS3 seem to bring a new touch in the process of creating new websites, everyone in the field is waiting for the latest news. In fact a must for a web designer is to be constantly updated with the latest news, tools and trends, so always read and experiment!

Broad-Minded Museum
The checkered architectural history of LACMA is a classic, perhaps unsurpassable, example of how an inferior design can bedevil sponsors years after a project was finished. In light of later depredations, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art of 1963–1965, designed by the local firm William L. Pereira and Associates, doesn't seem so bad. Apart from the scheme's bastardized Modern-Classical styling and the off-putting moat that originally surrounded the three-building complex, the Pereira ensemble of freestanding pavilions took advantage of the region's benign climate and avoided the claustrophobia endemic to so many conventional museums. In 1984, the architect Charles Moore surprised his fellow Postmodernists when he called LACMA "on the inside, one of the finest museums in Southern California." Moore's admiration is borne out by the recent reinstallation of the museum's twentieth-century collection in the Pereira firm's Ahmanson Building, whose square ground plan is centered by a lifeless skylighted atrium. (Piano has given the Ahmanson a grand interior staircase to connect the old complex more dramatically with his new entry plaza.)
Overseen by LACMA's longtime curator of modern art, Stephanie Barron, and unveiled in January, the exemplary renovation of the galleries was accomplished with little more than new dark wood flooring, doorways realigned to establish stronger enfilades, and improved background colors, including a graphite-hued wall that imbues a group of figural Giacometti bronzes with the haunting aura of a spectral apparition. (Those sculptures are among the 130 works in the Janice and Henri Lazarof collection, acquired in December and estimated to be worth $100 million.)
The museum's holdings are particularly strong in German Expressionism, with prime examples donated by such early Hollywood collectors as the directors Joseph von Sternberg and Billy Wilder, and the playwright-turned-screenwriter Clifford Odets, all of whose gifts look better than ever. Barron's effective but economical transformation cost LACMA $600,000, small change for museums these days. This instructive lesson ought to make other institutions think twice before embarking on ruinous architectural adventures.
However, not every building's shortcomings can be straightened out with sheetrock or covered up by a fresh coat of paint. Starting over with a clean slate can sometimes be the wisest solution to a persistent problem, but obliterating a recent architectural dud and building anew is too drastic for most patrons. Nor is it in the nature of institutions to admit having made a big mistake. Although LACMA tried time after time to improve its physical plant bit by bit, things got worse and worse. LACMA's expansion of 1982– 1986, by Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates, burdened the site with a ponderous PoMo-Deco addition reminiscent of a Hollywood sound stage. The museum's quest for architectural cohesion was doomed by Bruce Goff and Bart Prince's bizarre Pavilion of Japanese Art of 1978–1988, a zoomorphic folly that evoked a fossilized mammoth, the resemblance underscored by dinosaur replicas placed around the adjacent La Brea Tar Pits.
LACMA's one great chance for architectural redemption came and went with the master plan of 2002– 2003 by Rem Koolhaas of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture. Koolhaas's museum commissions bring out the anarchic streak that lurks beneath the surface of even his most benign designs, and his brilliant but confrontational proposals for New York's Museum of Modern Art and Whitney Museum of American Art scared off both clients. At LACMA he wanted to lop off the upper levels of the entire complex and encase the remains under a rectangular, translucent plastic bubble roof not unlike an inflatable tennis dome. With one breathtaking gesture Koolhaas would have freed the museum from its procrustean bed and given it a new architectural identity of stupendous power. But LACMA officials balked because the radical plan required closing the museum for three years—whereupon Broad approached Piano, who in 2003 agreed to design the collector's dream museum, but only if LACMA would also implement Piano's far less audacious master plan.
On paper, Piano's rethinking of LACMA seemed so logical as to be irrefutable, and sensible enough for the most conservative trustee. Instead of Koolhaas's scorched-earth approach, his successor called for the demolition only of the ugly multilevel parking garage that separated the Pereira complex from Albert Martin and S.A. Marx's May Company department store of 1940, a suave Streamline Moderne landmark west of LACMA on Wilshire Boulevard, which Piano will convert into offices, education facilities, and galleries. In place of the old garage, he positioned the Broad museum as fulcrum of the expanded campus, which is now entered via a new entry plaza on Wilshire between the Broad and the original LACMA ensemble.
The first phase of Piano's three-part master plan exacerbates some of the site's defects. The initial installment comprises the Broad, the BP Grand Entrance (an 8,100-square-foot piazza shaded by a graceful, unenclosed, and flatroofed minimalist canopy, named for British Petroleum, which donated $25 million to the museum), and covered walkways linking the Piano and the Pereira buildings (phase two will add a large wing for changing exhibitions, phase three an overhaul of the oldest structures).
The Broad's boxy form and forbidding Wilshire façade reiterate the monolithic muteness of the Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer addition. To enliven the twin squares of his building's street elevation, Piano suggested they be hung with superscale, scrim-like banners commissioned from local artists. (The first banners, one of which depicts a palm tree being photographed on a cellular phone, are by the cult-figure conceptualist John Baldessari; see illustration on page 18.) Without such embellishment, however, the Broad would be virtually indistinguishable from a public utility substation.
The Broad's symmetrical gallery wings are clad in beige travertine, and to emphasize the H-shaped ground plan Piano gave the slightly recessed midsection, containing elevators and stairways, a transparent glass skin. The absence of an entrance on Wilshire acknowledges that almost all visitors to LACMA come by car and enter through the parking garage rather than from the street. The BP Grand Entrance pavilion employs the same red-painted steel Piano used for the Broad's side-wall fire escape and the beams that protrude horizontally above it, as well as the escalator-cum-stair tower and the concourse that connects the Broad with the original complex.
The interior wall colors Piano specified for his New York Times Building of 2001–2007 in Manhattan (including several infelicitous shades of red) exposed his deficiencies as a colorist. The screaming fire engine red he picked for the Broad's exterior metalwork looks awful against the pale masonry. Mixing bold, even loud, colors with neutral stonework is not an impossible task, as was proven by James Stirling and Michael Wilford's majestic Staatsgalerie of 1977–1983 in Stuttgart, a rare Postmodern masterpiece. Stirling and Wilford used acid green mullions and hot pink railings to take the curse of bürgerlich propriety off the museum's stolid sandstone veneer. Here Piano's contrast comes across as no more than a mixed metaphor.
The Broad Museum is meant to be entered on its third and uppermost story, reached via the open escalator or the stairway housed within the scaffold-like red painted steel structure Piano has dubbed "the spider," but which more closely resembles a playground jungle gym (see illustration on page 15). Not since the gigantic plexiglass tube he and Rogers snaked up one flank of their Pompidou Center has Piano designed such a flamboyant people mover. Indeed, this overelaborate appendage seems a nostalgic bid to recapture the brashness of his breakthrough commission. Whatever the architect had in mind here, the mildly embarrassing entry sequence is soon forgotten as one approaches the main event: the galleries for which Piano is so celebrated, and the fabled collection that has made angels weep in the City of Angels.
At the press preview Govan extolled the "crystal clear" light of Piano's loftlike, columnless exhibition spaces. But after one entered the building and passed through the top-floor lobby (dominated by a vast, glass-fronted elevator shaft containing a three-story-high, black-white-and-red montage commissioned from Barbara Kruger), the first gallery on the north side (devoted to Jasper Johns) came as a shock. Forget the hallucinatory clarity of the architect's Menil galleries in Houston. Despite the perfect weather—as bright a day as can be expected of Southern California in winter—the light was gray and gloomy. A nearby room devoted to enormous unstretched canvases by Leon Golub fared somewhat better, but it too seemed inadequately illuminated. The only truly impressive gallery was a spacious room hung with tier after tier of large color photographs by Cindy Sherman, where the low light level, inexplicable elsewhere, might have been dictated by conservation requirements.
It may be hard to determine whether things went wrong at the Broad because of an insufficient budget or the use of what Piano had to work with. Broad's history as an architecture patron has been mixed. Although he was praised for his leadership in jump-starting the long-stalled construction of Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall of 1989–2003 in Los Angeles, his earlier Gehry commission, for an art-display addition to his house in Brentwood, ended badly. Impatient with that project's slow pace, Broad (accustomed to the brisk methods of the mass-produced housing industry) gave Gehry's still unfinished drawings to a contractor who completed the job. The architect removed the design from his corpus and was infuriated when the collector boasted of "my Frank Gehry gallery."
Another telling portion of the museum's inaugural publication—the transcript of a discussion among Broad, Govan, and Piano—hints at a possible source of the trouble:
EB: …I was very concerned with the cost of the roof. Renzo and I had quite a few discussions about how to get it down to $200 a square foot.
RP: The good thing about the roof is that we needed the roof. I lost on the basement, and I won on the roof.
EB: The roof's great, except it cost more than the rest of the building.
RP: Eli, do you remember one day, we were around the table and you said, "How much do we save if we take the roof away?" Well, you save a lot, especially on the architectural fees!
By way of comparison, the Broad museum cost about 66 percent less per square foot than the Nasher. (LACMA has not itemized the final cost-per-square-foot of the Broad's roof.) By any reckoning, however, Broad cannot be called a cheapskate. Nevertheless, his dickering over the architectural element Piano is most famous for—his ingenious overhead light filters—might have led to the architect's use of rows of relatively rudimentary mesh ceiling panels below the rooftop's factory-style sawtooth skylights, which evidently do not perform at the high level achieved by the intricate, custom-designed ceiling systems he created, without regard to expense, for the Menil and the Nasher.
Broad is much less averse to parting with large sums of money for art, but the highlights from his foundation and personal collection on view at LACMA (where the initial installation will remain for about a year) were hardly electrifying. In addition to Sherman, two other stars—Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst—are arrayed in gaudy profusion, thanks to Broad's policy of concentrating on certain artists in depth. But much has been lost as well.
In a public relations coup that implicitly shamed the Broad, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA)—housed in Arata Isozaki's Postmodern bijou of 1981–1986 in downtown Los Angeles—mounted an eye-opening survey, "Collecting Collections," cunningly timed to piggyback on its new rival's ballyhooed debut. Ever since MOCA was founded, in 1979 (its first chairman was none other than Eli Broad, who is now a life trustee there), it has patiently assembled a superlative permanent collection, anchored by several private collections of historic significance, especially Giuseppe Panza di Biumo's hoard of postwar American masterpieces. By celebrating three decades of prescient L.A. collectors whose gifts have ranged from Jackson Pollock's transcendent Number 1, 1949 to first-rate recent works by Peter Doig, Chris Ofili, and Kara Walker (important contemporaries who are all missing at the Broad), the MOCA exhibition serves as a timely reminder that Eli Broad holds no monopoly, local or otherwise, on connoisseurship and public spirit.
Southern California is often said to be America's proving ground for trends that later go nationwide. Although the private museum was pioneered on the East Coast (and also at the Huntington Library near Los Angeles) in the early twentieth century, its postwar resurgence was largely an L.A. phenomenon, with the J. Paul Getty Museum in Malibu and Brentwood, the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, and the Armand Hammer Museum in Westwood. It is impossible not to imagine what the cultural life of Los Angeles would now be like if those three men had given the billions they lavished on art and architecture to LACMA instead.
There is a definite group dynamic in philanthropy, which can be cooperative or competitive, depending on complex social factors. Several American communities have developed distinctive cultures of public giving, and it might be argued that Broad is continuing the L.A. tradition of Getty, Simon, and Hammer, all shrewd entrepreneurs who seem to have viewed collecting art as another business deal. (Hammer, CEO of Occidental Petroleum, had a second, sometimes clandestine, career as an art dealer, both as owner of Hammer Galleries in New York and as middleman for Stalin's sell-off of Old Master pictures from the Hermitage to finance his catastrophic Five-Year Plan.)
However, those buccaneers were not the only hometown models Broad could have emulated. For decades, one of LACMA's biggest and most reliable supporters was the fabulously rich, publicity-shy Anna Bing Arnold, who died at the age of one hundred, in 2003. Her first husband was the New York real estate magnate Leo Bing, who funded such seminal housing-reform schemes as Clarence Stein and Henry Wright's Sunnyside Gardens of 1924– 1928 in Queens, New York, and new town of Radburn, New Jersey, of 1928– 1932. The $24 million she bequeathed to the museum for its education program was just a fraction of her gifts to LACMA, where she was esteemed for her unconditional readiness to pay for acquisitions curators deemed imperative, the antithesis of Broad's all-strings-attached modus operandi.
To be sure, the record prices being racked up on today's international art market make it difficult, if not impossible, for museums to compete with rich private collectors like Broad. He has said so himself, yet exploits conditions he has had a big hand in creating and at the same time uses them to justify his new paradigm of the museum trustee as cultural arbitrageur. Thirty years ago, Anna Bing Arnold addressed a Los Angeles conference on the arts in education. In phrases that harked back to the nineteenth-century notion of the museum as vehicle for spiritual uplift and social cohesion, she emphasized what a unifying force art can be:
Art is a universal language which binds people to one another and to humane and ideal aims…. Art can still be the leaven to help us fulfill our emotional needs, to accept the restrictions in our daily lives, and to become all that we are.
What a museum chooses to exhibit is sometimes less important than how such decisions are made and what values inform them. To have the crucial role of museum professionals usurped by self-serving tycoons in the name of economic imperative threatens not only the integrity of individual institutions but the very principle of art held in public trust. Not all California crazes have caught on from coast to coast, which raises hopes that the cautionary example of LACMA, seduced and abandoned, might deter other museums from entering into such dangerous liaisons.

How does the old saying go? "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times."
When I first got the call from the MasterChef producers telling me that out of 60 thousand auditions I had made it to the TOP 100 I was absolutely flabbergasted. Every day for two months I went head to head with some of the most amazingly talented home cooks in the country. And every day I watched one of them walk out of the MasterChef kitchen, until there were just 5 of us left. I am sitting in the holding room with Becky, Frank, Josh and Christine and my skin is tingling with excitement.

I am hard of hearing, the result of 12 years of working in radio, with my headphones cranked on 11 for hours a day. Our Team Challenge this week is to run a Michelin Star kitchen and it is HANDS DOWN the hardest and THE LOUDEST challenge we have ever had. There are six of us cooking our butts off, machines humming, plates and pans clamoring, fans sucking up all the smoke and one incredibly heated Gordon Ramsay yelling out orders. I can't hear myself think…much less make out what Gordon is saying to me. I smile and nod. It's my go-to move whenever I miss what someone is saying but Gordon isn't buying it.

Exclusive MasterChef Blog: Monti Carlo Makes Gordon Ramsay All WetJuly 30, 2012 03:00:23 by Christine McDow
We think it is safe to say that working with giant prawns is not Monti Carlo's favorite pastime. Who else can get away with splashing Gordon Ramsay with water from the prawns tank however? No one but Monti who tried and tried to pull prawns out of the big tank while being worried she might just loser one of her fingers. Gordon Ramsay took it well though and fought his own giggles as he tries to stay composed, and continued to get wetter and wetter. It was a very funny episode. Monti Carlo sent us this exclusive blog telling us and her fans all about it!

Anthera Pharmaceuticals Completes Interim Analysis Of PEARL-SC Clinical Trial With Blisibimod
HAYWARD, Calif., March 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Anthera Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANTH), a biopharmaceutical company developing drugs to treat serious diseases including cardiovascular and autoimmune disorders, today announced the continuation of the Phase 2b PEARL-SC clinical study following an interim analysis of all safety and efficacy data.
As part of the ongoing safety monitoring of the PEARL-SC clinical study, the Company's Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) met for the fourth time since the beginning of the study to review all available patient safety data. Following the analysis, the DSMB recommended the study proceed as planned without modification.
Concurrent with the DSMB review, an independent statistician completed an interim efficacy analysis after the 350th enrolled patient had reached the 24-week time-point in the study and recommended the study continue to completion. Per the clinical study protocol, the independent statistician could have recommended an early stop to the study if the difference in efficacy between pooled treatment and placebo groups at 24 weeks and either the 16, 20, or 28-week time point met a pre-defined statistical threshold. In December 2011, an independent review of the biomarker data confirmed that monthly and weekly subcutaneous doses of blisibimod resulted in statistically significant reductions of B-cells.
As a result of these recommendations, top-line efficacy data from the PEARL-SC clinical study is expected in the second quarter of 2012. With 547 patients the study retains greater than 90% statistical power to detect a treatment difference of 14% with an associated p-value of less than 0.046 (p<0.046) for the study's primary endpoint*.PEARL-SC (A randomized, double-blind Phase 2b study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of blisibimod administration in subjects with systemic lupus erythematosus) is examining the therapeutic benefit of weekly and monthly subcutaneous injections of blisibimod in patients with active and antibody positive systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The clinical study enrolled 547 patients in 11 countries and 72 clinical sites worldwide.

I am incredibly exhausted. I feel like I'm in some sort of timewarp. One moment everything is moving fast and then all of a sudden it's standing still. 3 more weeks until I can get out of here, and I can't wait.
I spent the weekend with Emily, it has been 8 years since we've seen eachother, and even tho so many things are different, everything still feels the same. Friday night we spent the evening at her Moms house, and I got the mom lecture about school and life, because Patty has always been like my second mom. Saturday morning Emily made me crepes with homemade apple filling at her Dads house.... Sooooo good. Then we went to her barn, she's riding a really gorgeous horse right now... So that was cool. Then we went to a keg party at Her friend Nelsons house, the people were all soooo nice. We spent the Sunday being complete bums, which was nice. And Monday, we hung out with Ashkan Trashkan, went over to Pattys house for a bit... It was lots of fun.
Going back next weekend for my birthday! Yaaaaay.

- 1 small onion, quartered
- ¼ cup cilantro, rinsed and dried
- 1 serrano chile, quartered
- 1 small clove garlic
- ½ teaspoon salt
- several grinds fresh pepper
- Juice of half lime
- 1. Process ingredients in a small processor until coarsely chopped. Add lime juice. Refrigerate overnight.
- 2. Serve with grilled meats and fish, drizzle over burritos, tacos, quesadillas or as a dip with tostados.

yMusic brings genre-bending ethos to Kirkland
New York-based chamber sextet yMusic makes its local debut in Kirkland on Sunday, March 30; but don't expect typical chamber repertoire. yMusic performs music the members commissioned from all points on the musical spectrum.
Special to The Seattle Times
7 p.m. Sunday, March 30, Kirkland Performance Center, 350 Kirkland Ave., Kirkland; $15 (425-893-9900 or KPCenter.org).
It's not unusual for young, conservatory-trained musicians to bond while in school and form chamber ensembles. Nor is it rare for the more artistically successful of such groups to last years, deepening a collective identity while exploring old and new repertoire.
The birth of New York-based chamber sextet yMusic, by contrast, took place on the stage of a concert by popular indie rock band the National.
"The idea for yMusic came because C.J. [Camerieri] and I were performing with them," says violinist-guitarist Rob Moose. "We were both playing on the same song, about 60 feet apart on stage, and realized that when you get hired to play these gigs, you're auxiliary instrumentalists. There's not necessarily a ton of thought put into how your music gets voiced. We thought it would be great to form a group that specialized in all types of musical environments."
That was 2008. In the years since, yMusic — making its local debut on Sunday, March 30, at the Kirkland Performance Center — has distinguished itself as an unorthodox chamber ensemble through unusual instrumentation; through a genre-bending, customized repertoire; and as recording artists whose bracing first album, "Beautiful Mechanical," was named Time Out New York's No. 1 Classical Record of 2011.
In fact, all the future members of yMusic were once conservatory students: Moose at the Manhattan School of Music and Camerieri and the others at the Juilliard School. But all were already heavy hitters in the overlapping worlds of classical, pop, folk and avant-garde music, and so ubiquitous as team players that the very notion of collaboration was essential to yMusic's DNA.
Moose, for example, is a member of the Grammy-winning band Bon Iver, and is an in-demand player, arranger, conductor and producer who has worked closely with Gabriel Kahane, Arcade Fire and Dr. Dre.
Camerieri, multi-instrumentalist and yMusic's trumpet player, is also a member of Bon Iver and has toured and recorded with Yoko Ono and David Byrne. He is currently in the touring band for Paul Simon and Sting.
Cellist Clarice Jensen is a traveling soloist and has performed with Yo Yo Ma. Flutist Alex Sopp performs regularly with the New York Philharmonic. Clarinetist Hideaki Aomori has played with the Moscow Chamber Orchestra, Sean Lennon and Ron Carter. And violist Nadia Sirota's solo debut album, "First Things First," was a New York Times record of the year.
The point of connection for them all?
Singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens.
"We all met working with Sufjan on his various concerts and orchestral projects," says Moose. "He's been a glue for us from early on, so we got him to write a little piece of chamber music for us for our upcoming second album."
Stevens is one of a number of people who have taken up the challenge of writing for yMusic's string trio, trumpet and woodwinds. Others include Kahane, the National's Bryce Dressner, and rising composers Nico Muhly and Timothy Andres.
So far, ymusic has exclusively recorded and performed music it has commissioned.
"When we first started playing together, we realized we had a unique sound and there were a lot of possibilities," says Moose. "So we started asking friends to write pieces for us, and basically recorded the first seven that were written. It was an interesting cross-section of songwriters, composers and people in-between. We've evolved from being specialists in collaboration to really enjoying performing together. We're having a whole season of doing exactly that."

Water pills, or diuretics, are used in the treatment of medical conditions such as high blood pressure, kidney disease and congestive heart failure but are not prescribed or advised for weight loss. The connection between water pills and weight loss is a temporary one. The weight loss effect after taking a water pill is due to water loss and not fat loss and it is only the latter which results in long term weight loss. Using diuretics can cause dehydration, muscle cramps, nausea, loss of appetite and decreased potassium levels, and their use for a reason other than that prescribed by a doctor is considered dangerous.
Rapid weight loss is the result of taking water pills, but the weight is completely water based. Once the pill intake is stopped, the body regains the water lost. Therefore, this type of weight loss is only effective for the short-term. Long-term use of water pills is not advised as this would cause many adverse conditions such as low blood pressure or an electrolyte imbalance that may result in chronic health problems.
Water pills are taken in order to help the kidneys remove excess water from the bloodstream and tissues, which is then excreted via the urine. They affect the way the kidneys filter the blood as well as filter salt from the urine. When there is no pre-existing medical condition, the result of taking water pills for weight loss may be the creation of sodium and potassium deficiencies, depending on the diuretic used.
Sodium and potassium are electrolytes and are vital for the heart, kidney and liver to function properly. Any imbalance could lead to heart failure and sudden death. Dehydration from the loss of vital fluids can cause kidney damage. Add to this the fact that within a few days of taking diuretics, the body reacts to the water loss by retaining more water.
The connection between water pills and weight loss is a tenuous one at best. After taking a pill, there is some weight loss that is instant but temporary. The human body is made of about 60% water. The brain, blood, muscles and every cell in the body needs water to function efficiently. Any decrease sends out alarm bells, and the body does all it can to restore the levels it needs.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Have you ever made it to the Metro station right when the doors of the train are closing? Then stand there giving off disgruntled vibes and bringing everyone around you down? Or arrived too early when you could have stopped to shotgun your fifth coffee of the day? (What—am I the only one?)Well, the nice folks at WMATA have introduced a new system to let you know in real time your next train arrival, making your life and your commute just a little more predictable.
Now, in addition to Metro's online and web-enabled mobile resources, you can also dial up train arrival information using a good old-fashioned phone. Simply call Metro's Customer Information number at 202-637-7000 and say "Next Train." Then follow the prompts to hear when the next trains will arrive at a specific station within the next 20 minutes. If you're not convinced that this is as simple as it sounds, just take a look at WMATA's informative video posted on their website. There you'll see computer-animated Abby and her mom talking metro over a cup of joe, painstakingly explaining the new phone service.
Some of us here at goDCgo use Metro's bevy of real-time resources daily. Now you can get the information you need without a computer or web-enabled phone, so that you too can cast aside every shred of dignity and hurl your business-casual self down the street to make it to the train that's leaving in four minutes. As always, please remember to be safe.

Making their money go further instead of giving up their breaks is likely to be at the forefront of British holidaymakers' thinking next year, travel organisation Abta predicts.
Many people are set to holiday at home in the UK again but several wet summers are also likely to tempt more Brits to head abroad for guaranteed sunshine, according to the organisation's travel trends report.
It says a growth in tailor-made holidays and all-inclusive breaks is likely. And while traditional holiday spots such as France, Spain, the US and Greece remain popular, a boom is predicted for more far flung destinations such as New Zealand and Ecuador.
Abta's chief executive Mark Tanzer said the industry was seeing growing demand for tailor-made holidays among travellers wanting flexibility combined with the security of a package deal.
He said most people were reluctant to give up their annual holiday despite their finances being squeezed, adding that advance bookings for next year were looking "positive".
Mr Tanzer added that forward bookings for luxury and all-inclusive holidays, were particularly buoyant.
Holidaymakers looking for an early break in 2013, meanwhile, have been issued a list of value-for-money destinations by Post Office Travel Money. It names Egypt as the best-value holiday choice with Orlando, Dubai, Mexico, Thailand, Kenya, Bali, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and the Dominican Republic also recommended.
Andrew Brown, head of Post Office Travel and Money, said the post-Christmas period traditionally saw bookings spike with thousands going online or visiting travel agents to book "spur of the moment" winter sun holidays to escape the wet and cold at home.
He said that was even likelier this year following the recent floods and downpours, adding: "The strongest contender for post-Christmas blues bookings has to be Egypt with its cheap all inclusive packages at three, four and five-star levels."

Actiontec Electronics develops broadband solutions that connect people to the Internet, applications, and content they care about. Our products, including Gigabit Ethernet fiber routers, high speed bonded VDSL2 gateways, 4G LTE routers, DSL modems, and whole-home networking solutions, are deployed by some of the largest telecom carriers in North America. Alongside our service provider partners, we're turning the promise of the digital lifestyle into reality, enabling consumers to enjoy any content on any device in any room in the house.
The connected home is evolving fast, with increasing demands for speed, applications, and content. More devices in the home or office require network connectivity than ever before. We're committed to helping our carrier customers rise to the occasion and turn these needs into a reality. We're developing products that not only push faster speeds to the home, but within the home as well. Our whole-home solutions give consumers countless wired and wireless options for connecting their home theater devices, gaming consoles, computers, tablets, mobile devices, and more. And with uncompromised quality, we're making sure consumers can watch television and HD video just about anywhere in the home.
Additionally, we keep a close eye on the service provider's bottom line, and ensure our products are easy to install, manage, use, and support. We're pushing manageability (such as TR-069) further into the home, giving end users a more seamless digital experience and making it easier for service providers to manage the many devices used on today's home networks. We also maintain a large customer support and design team in the United States that enables us to respond quickly to requests as they arise and help our service providers take advantage of each opportunity.
Our company is led by a seasoned management team with over 100 years of collective experience gained at companies such as Apple, Cisco, GenBand, General Motors, IBM, Micronics, Microsoft, Motorola, National Semiconductor, Tellabs and Westell Technologies.
Actiontec is a leader in the connected home, with more than 30 million connected home devices sold to date. Our products have been adopted by leading Tier 1 and Tier 2 Internet Service Providers, including Verizon, CenturyLink, Frontier, Telus, TDS Telecom, MTS Allstream, Bell Aliant, Sasktel, and more.
We're constantly pushing the envelope on what's possible in the connected home and our innovation has been recognized throughout the industry time and time again. Our smart home service gateway (SG400) and MyWirelessTV were awarded prestigious CES Innovations awards in Design and Engineering. We took home over 40 industry awards in the last two years.
We're committed to industry alliances and we play an active role in industry organizations, including: Broadband Forum, BMMA (Broadband Multimedia Marketing Association), WiFi Alliance, HomePlug Powerline Alliance, MoCA (Multimedia over Coax) Alliance, HomeGrid Forum, Z-Wave Alliance and the Zigbee Alliance.
In 2011, we established a formal Sustainability Program that sets aggressive targets in multiple areas, including: water conservation, electronic waste and scrap product recycling, paper recycling, energy usage and more. We're an enthusiastic participant in PG&E's ClimateSmart program and offset 6% of all carbon dioxide produced at our Sunnyvale Headquarters in 2011.
The majority of our modems and routers are ENERGY EFFICIENT, helping families reduce their electrical bills and energy use. We hope our green efforts not only minimize our own impact, but also serve as a model for other high-tech companies.
And since minerals originating from conflict regions can end up in electronics and other products, we're participating in the Conflict Minerals Pilot Program to bring more transparency to the product supply chain and help promote the responsible sourcing of mineral resources.

Our service gateways give consumers the tools to live greener, safer, and more convenient lives.

It sounds morbid, but iconic White Sox broadcaster Ken "Hawk" Harrelson has the ideal final moments of his life scripted out in his mind.
"I want to die right here in this seat," Harrelson said softly in the booth that he's called home for the past two-plus decades. "That's what I want to do. If I could write my own script, I would die right here in this seat."
Then his voice shifted from softspoken to the familiar baritone that has provided the soundtrack to many a Chicago summer as he calls his imagined final broadcast.
"Verlander on the bump," he began. "Here's the pitch. Konerko hits it. That ball hit hard. Wayyyyyy back … he looks up, you can put it on the boooooard," before hitting his head playfully against his desk while laughing.
"That would be it for me," he continues. "And then all of a sudden on my tombstone it says 'He gone.' "
At the rate he's going, that may very well happen.
Now in his 21st season in the Sox booth, the Hawk has been as much of a fixture on Chicago's South Side as Polish sausage and scoreboard pinwheels.
"This is my 54th year in the game and I've been so lucky to see where it was when I first came in back in 1959," he said. "I've seen parts of seven decades. To see where it was then and where it is today and be involved in it the whole time, it's just been a blessing to see how things change and the culture of the game changes."
Lest you think he's unaware of just how polarizing he is in Chicago, you'd be wrong.
"There's not too much in between," he said. "I've taken a lot of that in between out. It's either 'Hawk, you suck' or 'Hawk, you're the greatest.' One of the two."
Harrelson said his bombastic style comes from the simple fact that he's a guy who enjoys what he gets paid to do for a living.
"I am a fan," he said.
That much has been betrayed in his calls this season. Much like the fans in the stands, the Sox's biggest booster in the booth has been unable to mask his frustration with a season that wasn't supposed to see the team in last place near the All-Star break.
As the Sox go, Hawk goes, after all.
"I love to watch these guys play," he said. "That's one reason that I get so wrapped up in it."
After more than a half century in the game, he's still coming up with new ways to look at it.
Harrelson made headlines at the start of the season for creating his own immeasurable statistic, TWTW, short for The Will to Win, which flies in the face of the numbers-obsessed baseball culture.
It's a motto that became a social media phenomenon, with people on Twitter turning it into a popular hashtag. It's especially ironic considering the man from whose mouth that phrase sprung isn't anywhere near social media.
"I'm not on the YouTube or Twitter," he said.
But he's not ruling it out. While there are any number of Twitter accounts parodying his style, Harrelson said it's only a matter of time before he takes the plunge.

Putin explains tears during speech: it was windy

Many TV viewers thought Purin cried because he was too emotional Photo: Reuters
Vladimir Putin explained why he cried during the rally of his supporters on Monday evening. He said that tears were caused by the wind.
"It was windy, the tears were real, but they were caused by the wind," Putin said during a live conversation with his supporters in his main office.
Vladimir Putin, who, according to preliminary election results, has won with more than 60%, came to the rally in Moscow late in the evening and addressed the several hundred thousand member audience.
Putin's speech was shown on state-run TV channels close-up. Many viewers thought he was too emotional and moved to tears after winning the vote.
