Is big data placing developers in charge, and squeezing-out DBAs?
Jack Vaughan | 17 JAN 2015 | 0 Comments
The growth of fast-moving big scale Web companies like Google and Amazon overthrew some conventions, ones that used to put DBAs in a powerful position versus developers. Yet DBAs will not go away anytime soon, as a recent SearchDataManagement.com story suggest. How do you think the DBA - and the data schema - will fare in the future?

Since earlier this year when it became clear the Fender Cyclones were no longer being manufactured, that is the question I asked myself. "What happened to the Fender Cyclone?" We'll put down some cyclone facts and see what kind of conclusions we can make.
First a quick overview of the history… The original Cyclone was introduced at Summer NAMM 1998. (press release) Just for reference, the jag-stang was introduced at Winter NAMM 1996. The Cyclone II, which added jaguar like switching and jaguar pickups, was introduced at Summer NAMM 2002. (press release) Summer NAMM 2003 saw the new Cyclone HH model with dual humbuckers. (press release) Also in 2003 a Squier model of the Cyclone was introduced.
When you consider the features of the Cyclone, and then consider what was being said in many of the jag-stang reviews prior to the Cyclone's release, it makes you think that Fender tried to appease many of the major complaints seen in the jag-stang reviews. The most notable cyclone features being:
- larger 24 3/4″ scale neck – Many jag-stang reviews complained about how tiny the neck felt which was the 24″ scale neck.
- contoured body – many jag-stang complaints about lack of contours.
- Synchronized tremelo – the floating bridge/tremelo system on jag-stangs/mustangs/etc can be pretty daunting to new guitar players/owners.
- Single 3 way switch – another common complaint of the jag-stang/mustang was the switches positioned above each pickup.
- straight humbucker in bridge position – the jag-stang's angled humbucker was another common issue.
- jaguar-like electronics (with Cyclone II) – alternative guitar fans should automatically like anything with jaguar parts on it, right??
- competition stripe paint jobs (with Cyclone II) – another feature aimed at the alternative guitar crowd.
So considering the feature set and how it addressed so many jag-stang and mustang complaints how is it that the cyclone is no more and the mustang is still available? Why didn't it catch on?
An issue may have been visibility of the cyclone in guitar shops. Between 1999 and 2005 I rarely recall seeing a cyclone in any of the guitar shops I visited at all. This may have just been a geographical or coincidental thing, but even many of the sales folks wouldn't know anything about the cyclone.
Possibly the most important issue with the popularity of the Cyclone was it's lack of being identified with any popular guitarist or group. As popular as Artist Series guitars have become for Fender and Gibson that kind of artist recognition would have obviously been a huge benefit.
It really makes you wonder if it were not for Kurt Cobain, Sonic Youth, Mudhoney, etc… and the alternative guitar popularity of the 90s would the Mustang, Jaguar, or Jazzmaster be available today?
If you have any thoughts on what happened to the Cyclone, please feel free to post em in the comments.
29 Responses to "What happened to the Fender Cyclone?"
I own a Cyclone of the first (S/H) variety, bought used from a guitar store, and I love it. I only know of two bands who use Cyclones, neither especially well known and both Japanese – the pillows and Noodles. I probably would not have been aware that the guitar existed if it wasn't for these bands, especially since they're no longer being made or sold in the US. I very much want a daphne blue Cyclone II, but can't find an affordable one anywhere.
I think you're on to something with the point about the lack of association with any particular band. Jaguars and Jazzmasters were fading into total obscurity before indie bands of the late 80s and early 90s started playing them, precisely because they were cheap. Look at what that's done to their popularity. And of course, the Strat and Tele are ubiquitous.
I miss the Cyclone. Kinda wish they'd bring it back. It has such a cool vibe to it.
[…] « What happened to the Fender Cyclone? […]
a lot of bands from the 90's were using mustangs and jaguars, it just so happens it took Kurt Cobain to really make them mainstream. just look at what he did for unvox, boss ds-1's and EH smallclone pedals.
funny thing is that Kurt played Strats an awful lot too and people over look that. i guess its cause everyone since Jimi Hendrix plays a Strat these days.
Two reasons why I never bought a Cyclone, and will probably never buy another FMI product:
1. They never offered the Cyclone left-handed. How can you sell what you don't make? In respect to this web site, I'm trying really hard to refrain from typing a long Tourette syndrome-like spew of expletives aimed at Fender about this issue.
2. Even if they did make it lefty, I didn't like their "modern" fat frets and flatter neck radius. The vintage frets & radius are much more comfortable. Note to FMI: that's why people still buy the vintage reissues.
The Fender cyclone is an excellent guitar.
I think it practically measured up to a US strat I played after I had it professionally set up.Very comfortable to play and seems perfectly suited to my smaller hands.
I've played it through a multitude of valve and solid state amps and it sounded great through everyone.As a fan of grunge music and alternative rock, I find it perfect in achieving the sounds I want.
I agree with the writer of this article that it wasn't very well advertised and promoted. They could have really put it out there with the jazzmaster and mustang in a strong ad campaign. The fact that it has a decent bridge and not the awkward bridge designs of other short scale fenders is fantastic and saves customisation.
On forums I saw mized reception.
I think some gave it a bad rap for it not being a US model.
Quite frankly I couldn't understand the bad criticism I read of the guitar. Snobbery came to mind and, like the author of the article suggested, no link to bands. People saying it was badly made must have been either unlucky and picked up either faulty models or not been used to short scale guitars.
Maybe they didn't figure that the whole "student" guitar (like the mustang) vibe is the point and its not going to be like a prs or something like that.The stock pickups on the guitar are excellent; the zebra stripe humbucker adds a real character to the look of the guitar too.
I believe it will make comeback through an artist endorsement in the future.
I'm just glad I have a great Fender guitar that is unusual that I really love.
Everyone that sees my cyclone asks me about it and say it looks classic and if they hear it they say it sounds fantastic
It plays great as well. It has a really fast neck. I could wail away on mine all day. -
Funny thing is, while it had no DIRECT artist endorsment, the Cyclone II was derived from Thurston Moores modified mustang w/ 3 pick-ups. I can't remember where I read it, but it was an interview w/ a Fender rep who said it. I would imagine the cyclone was a derividive of Kurt's mustangs as they very closely resemble them.
After lots of hmmm-ing and hah-ing and reading reviews I have just ordered a Cyclone HH! – the last one in stock from a mail order place at a mark down price. I had a mustang which I bought years ago and did up and sold and it was great but the neck was a little too small for me, and I have a Fender Squier Strat 92 Korean which has served me well for years. Now it is time to try the Cyclone – I'm joining the 21st guitar century only 9 months after this guitar was discontinued! A web search revealed 3 places where they still stock these guitars in U.K. I'm looking forward to playing it soon!
I just bought a daphne blue cyclone 2 for $560 dollars yesterday. I am only 15, and I am just starting out. It is a great guitar for me. I am wondering if this guitar is rare or what. I read Guitar World mag. and never seen anything about it. I was suprised to see that Ian up at the top was searching for one. I didn't know anything about it before yesterday. I bought it in South Carolina. It is so nice and hase a great sound and feel to it. I don't know why they quit making them. It also makes me happy too because it makes me feel like I have something special that not many people have.
i demo'd the cyclone extensively. It's problems: hummy, pickup volume differential, no marketing, and no artist assoc. never bought it.
cyclone II: i bought this, and sold it. pro:cool looks, slide switches, distinct sound. con: hummy, no bass. i sold it due to no bass response whatsoever.
I have had the HH model for about a year now. I bought it used for 270 at pro sound in the colorado springs area. I was totally puzzled by this guitar. Its like nothing else fender sells and the fact no one else plays it was why I bought it. The first thing I did was replace the bridge pick up. The atomic pickups are thin and tinny. I've replaced two of these things already. One fat strat and the cyclone. I put a seymour duncan dis pickup in it. I do love the neck pickup. I find myself using all the time. And I had to get the thing setup by a tech. The tuning heads drove me crazy at first then I figured them out and there alright. Now this is my main guitar. I've been playing for over 20 years, And am a firm believer in moding cheap guitars instead of pay for stupid over priced stuff. Its not the guitar that you play its how you play it…..
I purchased a Cyclone HH about 3 yrs. ago. I love the sound. I happen to prefer the 24 3/4″ scale (vs. the 24″). As an amateur player & collector, I like the sound (esp. the bottom end for those Keith Richards-like rhythm riffs). I also play a Gibson Les Paul Studio and it sounds nothing like the Cyclone HH. The LP is my main axe, but the Cyclone has a really distinctive & unique bottom-middle sound which I use often. The Cyclone is a bit heavy, but I prefer it that way. It's well balanced. The only reason I can think of as to why it wasn't a fast seller is simply b/c of a lack of big-name players. Mine came directly from the online dealer and it was set-up beautifully for my taste. I might consider changing the bridge pup to something that brings a tad more top-end. I'm not a shredder, so we'll see.
I found the Cyclone at a local pawn shop about a year or two ago and will have it sent for repair sometime soon(Needs new single coil and humbucker). Eventhough I own a 1974 Fender Stratocaster; it was a bargin and I decided to buy it anyway with the idea of re-selling it. However; after reading the very helpful info I found here; I just might hold on to it a little while longer. Mine is black with a dark red tourtise shell pickguard.
I have had my cyclone II for six years. I love it. When I got it, I was in the market for a mid-range guitar, an upgrade. I really wanted a mustang or a jaguar. I couldnt afford a jaguar, and, after playing a mustang, I found a cyclone II. I always thought the cyclone II was what the jag-stang was trying to be. I have never had it professionally set up, but it stands up against most anything. Of course, the main complaint of most is that the switches have to be switched up to turn them on, and so if you accidentally brush them down, you lose your sound. I have inverted the switch. I have played it through various heads and it never fails to sound great. It's perfect for me. I hope to one day own a jaguar, but,for now, I am content.
Well, I think I have a Cyclone HH in daphne blue. Im 16, and bought this guitar a year ago as my first major ax. I was fricking shocked to hear (as I googled fender cyclone instantly on my return home) that its discontinued! Its AMAZING! It literally plays anything, walked into a shop in basildon (near london) and there it was in the window reduced to 350 smakeroons. played it, saw a gibson sg sitting there, and i didnt need to play it. Its the nuts, i play in a band stuff like metallica, u2, the killers, snow patrol, blink 182, megadeth, foo fighters, and it does it all! no problems at all, fret buzz on the 9th fret, which started about 9 months after i bought it, but one go with the allen key and its all dandy. it can take a beating, aand is pretty heavy, but i like its sturdy feel and awesome shape. Bring it back fender you nubs!
My friends dad has one of these and I recently fell in love with it, and I was gonna try and find a TV yellow cyclone next time I get some money, so this is actually crushing to find that it's out of production.
I wanted a Fender Cyclone.
I love the cyclone 2 ,I played a '96 MIM strat for awhile, so it took me awhile to get use to the hugeness but what i loved about it was the jag pickups because I wanted a jag but couldn't find one so i chose this.
I'm also left handed so the guitar has a flipped nut and i find the switches better in a higher position then the bottom so you don't turn the guitar off when your strumming.
My wife just bought me a Cyclone II for my birthday. It is an awesome axe. I have an American Strat and Tele and peferr playing the cyclone over both of them. Its a great guitar for anyone and any style.
The Cyclone was failed largely because it was behind the times. If it had been released in '93 or '94, it would've probably fared better. But by 1999, the alternative mainstream (not intentionally oxymoronic) had moved on from Seattle grunge to post-grunge and nu metal, and those kinds of bands were more drawn toward modern manufacturers like Schecter and ESP. Then the garage rock revival hit, and the raw crowd wants guitars that look like 60s pawnshop junkers- hence the Ibanez Jet King and Eastwood Guitars. Fender themselves didn't do the guitar's image much good by having the sound sample on their old website sound like a ripoff of "Smells Like Teen Spirit".
I never really had a chance to play a Cyclone, but I always thought it looked cool. Maybe someday 90s alt rock will come back in style and Fender'll give it another chance.
I own a Candy Apple red Cyclone H/S. I picked it up for about 300 at my local music store. I went in that day to find a guitar to replace my squire strat. (I also had gotten a gibson les paul standard about 4 months prior to that date, but i like tremolo systems so I always like having one guitar with a hard tail and one with a trem.) I was looking around the used section of the store and this guitar caught my eye. At first I thought it was a Jas-Stang, but once i picked it up and examined it i figured out it wasnt one. I plugged it into a Marshall DSL50 head and just started and the guitar was just screaming. I bought it 15 min after seeing it. I would never sell this guitar and if it were stolen, i would find the person and kill them after i get it back.
I bought the last new Cyclone my local Fender dealer had. It was a rare Caramel Metallic color. Loved the looks, it played nice (not as nice as my Jag Stang or Squier Supersonic) I sold it earlier this year and I am happy with my USA Strat and SuperSonic for sound.
I have one, absolutely love the thing, my favorite guitar and am looking for another one…I think I must have been the only person who got one in Sunburst…I have not seen or heard of anyone anywhere having one in that color..I had a mic stand fall on mine so it has a nice flaw in the finish, but hey..adds character right?
I had a yellow one. I saw a candy apple red one in my local guitar store. I would have probably prefered the red although if I got another one the yellow would be like the one that got away so to speak. I found it a very clunky guitar to use. I think Fenders are really unplayable compared to any of the 20 or so Gibsons I have owned. That was why I sold it as it just felt very awkward. I did however own a Fender American Standard Strat very briefly and then got a Samick Valley Arts Strat model which I kept for about 8 years and played almost exclusively with brief usage of my Samick Blues Saraceno TV 20 with floyd rose. The Wilkinson tremolo on the Samick was a lot better than on the Fender. I am thinking about getting another Cyclone and just trying to get used to it. Although in all honestly I don't like Fender single coils much. They are just so thin sounding. It's like when people split humbuckers to get a single coil sound, when you switch back to the humbucker it sounds like it's working properly again. I can't imagine why, other than because of Jimi Hendrix, anyone would play a Strat. Incedently the Cyclone neck sound is nothing like a Strat. I much prefer P90's in an ES-135 or a Les Paul Junior to anything Fender sounding. I think Leo Fender knew nothing about guitars whereas Gibson came from a musical instrument making passion, not a production line manufacturing mentality. I also have a Godin Freeway SA which literally lives in the cupboard. I bought it new for using it with MIDI on my Boss GI-20. So I'm thinking because I can cope with how that plays maybe the Cyclone will be getting another go around. I think a Toranado would suit me better as I like the control layout more than the Cyclone. For me the idea of the Cyclone is to get that Tex Mex single coil sound happening. It doesn't hurt to try and I like the Cyclone as it's a poplar bodied single coil sounding beastie which differs from my Gibsons. Also it's been a number of years since I had a Cyclone so I might say hey I'm actually loving this Fender single sound? I just didn't like how it felt, sounded or looked. Who knows? it doesn't hurt to try.
to the last poster (chris) shame on you dissing leo fender. I happen to think gibsons are overpriced and have uncomfortable necks…..let alone all the douchebags that play them…i guess opinions are like @ssholes….
I purchased a Red Cyclone II from Craiglist for 150.00. This thing is beautiful (red with stripes). After cleaning it up,and setting it up. This guitar plays like butter, the single coils sound fantastic. I would buy another one in a minute. Love it!!
The Fender Cyclone has been my favorite guitar since i bought five years ago. It truly is the boy walks into a pawn shop story it had everything i loved about fender guitars, the surf vibe, the mustang look and the crunch i need. I orginally walked in the pawn shop looking for a Fender Stratocaster like John Frusciante's and walked out with a dream.
Iv had a cyclone near enough from when they were introduced, and i love it to bits, its covered in stickers and been knocked about and still holding on strong. I agree that the pickups are a little weak but, just turn up the amp a little. I run it through a Marshall JCM2000 50 watt head and 4×12 cab with predominantly a Proco deucetone rat distortion and iv never had any problems getting a decent sound. Its my main and favorite guitar to play. Not played a jaguar for long but the cyclone has a jag neck and its tempting to get a jag next. There is currently a cyclone on ebay.co.uk if you are after one. Wishing i had the cash coz id go for it at the drop of a hat.
I bought my MIM Cyclone 5 years ago from a session player in Florida. He rarely played it and bought it direct from a friend of his who happened to work for Fender at the time. They shipped the guitar to him at the hotel he was staying at in Canada at the time. After I got it home, I went through the gig bag and found the factory receipt. It was the 6th one made in 97, but the guy didn't get it until 98. Weird. Anyway I love my Cyclone. Out of all my guitars and basses, I use the Cyclone the most. Its tone is so versatile and its comfortable to play, and I play it for hours. I do 100% of my writing with it, and I record with it as well. Its absolutely my favorite guitar, my best tool, and love of my life.
I own a red Cyclone II in like new conditon.
There is a band which uses those red Cyclone II. They are called The Good The Bad. They play with 2 guitars and a drum kit, that`s it. in their early days the played both Cycylones, which looked very cool! Meanwhile one of them is playing Tele…

I hace a black MIM Cyclone. It used to belong to a good friend I was in a band with, and all my life I swooned over it and really wished I could have it.
Once he left for college I was able to snap it up from him for a mere $90 and it was one of the best purchases of my life. I do however agree with the volume differential problem mentioned above, it is truly the only downside of this axe. It is my favorite guitar of my collection and one of my favorite guitar designs ever made.

On the other hand, he acknowledges, "At times, there's nothing dumber than a goose. Like when you shoot one, and the others in the flock keep coming in. There seems to be something motivating them besides survival."
The point, of course, is that geese spend the majority of their lives flying someplace between smart and dumb -- doing their best to navigate circumstances for which they are often unprepared. As Remington points out, "When you think about their evolutionary history, what would have programmed regular geese to be afraid of big fake geese?"
For the moment, the answer appears to be "nothing...yet." Which explains how it is that on a sub-freezing morning, I can sit inside a huge plastic goose and fully believe that the birds flying overhead won't be alarmed by the fact that, of the dozens of decoys spread out below, three happen to be the size of Volkswagen Beetles and have Sorel boots sticking out of their bottoms.
There's an old joke about fly fishermen: New flies are not made to attract fish; they're made to attract fly fishermen. The sport creates an endless craving for new equipment, on the assumption that no matter how ridiculous something looks or how much it costs, anything that might possibly attract a trout to your line is worth buying.
Goose hunters are the fly fishermen of hunting. "I don't want to use the word 'fanatical,'" says Mark Beam, who's been guiding goose-hunting expeditions out of Brighton for a dozen years. "Because that would make me a fanatic, which I don't think I am. Obsessive, maybe."
Still, Beam agrees it's fair to say that most serious goose hunters have issues. "The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem," he says. "But goose hunters don't even want to admit it. Every one of them has a shed full of stuff in the backyard that they've tried but doesn't work."
"It's an equipment-intensive sport," explains Remington. "And you have lots of time to sit there and stare at your spread."
On paper, the goose-hunting challenge seems uncomplicated: You must convince the birds to fly close enough so that you can shoot them. But the hordes of belligerent, diarrheal flocks that have taken over the city's park system notwithstanding, convincing birds to fly within range is far more difficult than it sounds, and over the years there have been plenty of innovations designed to tempt geese out of the sky.
Some of these are surprisingly low-tech -- more litter than innovation. Tossing diapers, garbage bags and paper plates onto a field to simulate a flock of snow geese, for example. Other methods are barely more sophisticated: Many hunters tie socks to sticks and wave them around in an attempt to simulate flapping goose wings.
When geese are involved, the distinction between hunting and humiliation is a fine one. Several years ago, Herter's, a respected North Carolina purveyor of outdoor gear, came out with the latest in goose attractants: a full-body suit designed to make its wearer look as much like a Canada goose as humanly possible. "You now become part of your decoy spread," the company's 1998 catalogue promised seductively. "The suit turns you into a magnum-sized decoy and lets you add motion to your spread by flapping and waddling around."
Goose hunters have been known to shoot at birds from grain elevators and leap out of plywood shelters that are painted to look like cows grazing in a field; however, a Herter's buyer admits that the $99.99 Goose Suit Canadian Decoy was an idea whose time had perhaps not yet arrived. "It sold some," he says, "but it wasn't received very well in hunting circles as a viable goose-hunting accessory."
Translation: "It was embarrassing," he says. "We used to have guys wear it at trade shows, but I would never wear one. It seems if a hunter wore it once in front of his buddies, it was usually the last time. We discontinued it after two seasons. That was plenty."
Once you've lured some geese within birdshot range, the next trick is to keep from scaring them off. Hunters have taxed their brains looking for better ways to render themselves invisible to overhead flocks. Beam remembers one friend who designed a blind entirely out of mirrors. The idea was that if the mirrors faithfully reflected the ground around them, the blind itself would be invisible. But the hunter neglected to consider the sun, whose reflection, rather than lulling the geese into an unsuspecting landing, instead drove them away in a blind panic.
Waterfowl seem to take the presence of colossal facsimiles more or less in stride, however. (An old Garrison Keillor monologue imagined what the birds thought as they flew overhead: "There's a duck down there; I can see it clearly. The lake seems a little smaller than last year....") And so, given the goose hunter's perpetual search for any gimmick that might make a difference, it was probably only a matter of time before someone hit on the idea of making a bird large enough to hide in. Giant hollow geese surmounted both of the hunter's hurdles, handling both concealment and attraction in a combined decoy/blind.

Interior designer Alfons Tost has designed this unique eco-friendly interior for the Fastvinic cafe in Barcelona.
The Fastvinic cafe has an over-arching warehouse-style look, with its tall wooden and metal shelves that are lined with potted plants—which help the "regeneration of the oxygen," says the designer—and its hanging lamps, storage boxes and overall simplistic aesthetic. At the front of the cafe, a large glass window separates diners from the kitchen, allowing patrons to see their sandwiches being made. The cafe also has a lower level that houses the bathrooms, which feature charming basket-like sinks.
Tost's goal was to infuse the entire space with sustainable elements; indeed, he says that the entire cafe was designed with elements that could be recycled and dismantled. Every part of the Fastvinic cafe is eco-friendly, from the lights, which operate on LEDs, to its food containers, which are 100 percent compostable.

About Jennifer Croom
Hello, I'm an Australian artist, in love with painting.
My gallery here here includes paintings in different styles. After years of painting landscapes and portraits as I'd 'learned', I just had to experiment more, to try and find a way that was mine. My paintings show the jouney, which I enjoy more every day.
I find now that the process is more exploratory. I want most of all to paint people, and after a couple of years in an expressive/abstract style they are becoming more realist again, but with an edge. I want to paint more than reality allows, to create questions, and hint at a narrative for the viewer.
There is so much to paint, so many ideas, so much joy and frustration and excitement in the doing that I find putting labels on the results beyond me. They are simply my 'Studiofruit'.
I hope you enjoy my work. There has been joy in its creation.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins and the University of Nebraska say that the algae virus affects human cognitive functions.

Red Bull have announced that Franz Tost will take on the role of team principal of Squadra Toro Rosso, formerly Minardi, from January 1, 2006.
The 49-year old Austrian, who has been Track Operations Manager at BMW Motorsport since June 2000, has a wealth of motor racing experience, which includes competing as a driver in Formula Ford and Formula 3.
"In my six years at BMW I learnt a lot, especially on the technical side and for this I want to thank BMW, said Tost of his latest career move. My appointment as Team Principal at Squadra Toro Rosso offers a great new challenge that I am looking forward to taking on."
Dietrich Mateschitz, owner and CEO of Red Bull, was very pleased to announce the appointment: "Franz is a very experienced Formula One insider, who fits well within our new team," he said.
After studying Sport Science and Management, Tosts motorsport career started as a team manager at the Walter Lechner Racing School. Stints as team manager to the Eufra and Vienna-Racing teams followed prior to joining Willi Weber Management in 1993, to run the WTS Formula 3 team. Tost then looked after Ralf Schumacher's career in Japan, following him to Formula One and then moving to BMW Motorsport.
The Red Bull company will look after the day to day running of Squadra Toro Rosso until Tosts arrival in January.

An Introduction to Responsive Web Design
In my early years as a web designer, the quintessential question in that first design meeting was: "What screen size are you designing for?" The answer usually came in some sort of minimum pixel width like 640x480 or 800x600. Things got a little more complicated when 1024x768 screens became widely used, but the same grid was drawn on a whiteboard to start off the design process. This measurement gave us a framework for tables, columns, images, and a test browser to make sure it was all working. A page skeleton would look something like this:
The wide adoption of high definition 1080p monitors, widescreen formats, and mobile devices has given designers a headache with the amount of technology that needs to be accounted for during the design phase. Traditionally, designers would come up with different sites for each device and screen size, then create a number of html pages depending on what platform the user is on. To cater to shifts in technology, a new design concept has emerged called "Responsive Web Design". This concept isn't a set of tools or a certain code platform, this design style is more a combination of rules to account for as many screen formats as possible within the same page.
Instead of imagining a web design in pixel dimensions, designers have to consider that no component of a page has a fixed width or height. A simple responsive design site uses percentages to create fluidity:
As screen sizes change, the responsive design layout will shrink or expand every object to fit the browser. This is the first step in responsive design, but by no means the last. Expanding a column to fit a 1080p monitor doesn't pose many problems, however shrinking a navigation header to 10% of the height of a mobile browser may render the navigation completely unusable. To remedy this, responsive design relies on the @media tag introduced in CSS 2.1. In CSS3, this tag has been expanded to really give us some cool tools.
@media screen and (max-width: 600px){
@media screen and (min-width: 601px){
The CSS tag example above will apply any CSS within the brackets to browsers with a maximum width of 600 pixels. Any browser using more space than this will apply the second set of css. The power of the @media tag is in the ability to show/hide div layouts, manipulate text and image sizes, and even change the layout and orientation of the page depending on the user's current browser size. The example below shows how four @media blocks can completely change the same elements within a page depending on the screen size. The content is the same, however elements such as images, fonts, columns, and buttons are all shifted to maximize screen real estate.
* For more great examples of responsive design, visit: http://mediaqueri.es/
Modern design relies heavily on the use of images. For a crisp design a high definition screen requires a high definition image adding to the overall download size of the page. For high speed internet connections, the image size isn't much of an issue, but designers can't assume a high speed connection for a mobile device. The @media tag handles image sizes too! When using the @media tag, only the images within that CSS will be loaded. For the example below, a mobile browser will download the tiny-header.jpg image but not the hd-header.jpg image. Alternatively, you could hide the .header-image all together using display:none; and the image won't be downloaded to the browser at all!
@media screen and (max-width: 600px){
background: url('images/tiny-header.jpg');}
@media screen and (min-width: 601px){
background: url('images/hd-header.jpg');}
These are just a few of the tricks and tips available for responsive web design. Gone are the days where we could assume internet speeds and browser sizes. At Function1, we've had the opportunity to apply many new design practices that could also apply to your business. Contact us if you're interested in learning more about how to use modern design practices in your website, content, or portal.

[884] Expression of ERG Protein, a Prostate Cancer Specific Marker, in High Grade Prostatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia (HGPIN) Detected in Prostate Biopsy: Lack of Utility To Stratify HGPIN Cancer Risks
Huiying He, Adeboye O Osunkoya, Paula Carver, Sara Falzarano, Cristina Magi-Galluzzi, Ming Zhou. Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH; Emory University, Atlanta, GA; Beijing University, Beijing, China; New York University, New York, NY
Background: HGPIN is a premalignant lesion to prostate cancer (PCa). A diagnosis of HGPIN in prostate biopsy (PBx) is associated with a 20-25% of risk of PCa in subsequent PBx. No clinicopathological parameters and biomarkers can reliably identify patients who actually harbor PCa. ERG gene fusion is highly specific for and is identified in 40-50% of PCa and 20% HGPIN which is always associated with ERG-positive PCa. Positive immunostains for ERG highly correlate with ERG gene fusion. We studied whether a positive ERG immunostain in HGPIN could identify patients with PCa on repeat biopsy.
Design: Ninty-four patients with initial HGPIN diagnosis in PBx and at least one follow-up PBx were included. Immunostain for ERG (clone ID: EPR3864) was performed on the initial PBx with HGPIN.
Results: Patients mean age was 63 years (range 48-78). A mean of 1.8 (range 1-5) repeat biopsies were obtained at a mean interval of 27.4 months (range 1.5-140). Repeat PBx showed PCa, benign, HGPIN, atypical glands suspicious for cancer in 36 (38%), 26 (%), 27 (%) and 5 (%) patients. ERG immunostain was positive in 5/94 (5%) PBx with HGPIN, in which PCa was found in 2 (40%) in subsequent PBx. Of 89 initial PBx with negative ERG staining, PCa was found in 34 (38%) repeat biopsies. The cancer detection rate was not different between ERG positive and negative cases (p=0.299).
Conclusions: ERG protein expression is uncommon in HGPIN (5%). PCa was detected at a similar rate on follow-up PBx in ERG-positive HGPIN cases and ERG-negative cases. Our study confirms that ERG expression is of no clinical utility in stratifying HGPIN cancer risks.

We had two large beautiful Sago Palms in out back yard. We kept out Champion Border Collie cowdog back there also. She was eight years old and we had kept her there since she was a puppy. She was also our great family pet and companion. She had puppies and we kept one of the puppies. We also kept the puppy in the yard.
Puppies chew on and eat anything. She discovered the little shoots that come up from the roots under the sago plants. She crawled up under the plants where we did not see her nor the shoots. She really feasted on the shoots. The mama dog in playing with the puppy also started chewing on the shoots. The puppy got sick and was vomiting and her stomach was swollen. We took her to the vet and discovered that her liver was destroyed. She lived another week and we had to put her to sleep because of the pain she was in. There was no treatment that would save her. The mama dog lived another three months and we also had to put her to sleep. The vet said that they had eaten some kind of plant that was poisonous to dogs. We did research online and found that Sago Palms are one of the ten most poisonous plants to pets according to the SPCA. We went and looked at our Sagos and found up underneath the plants that the shoots had been eaten and chewed on by the dogs. The top part of the plant is poisonous but not as deadly as the shoots underneath. The mama dog had stayed in the yard for years and had never eaten on or played with the Sagos. I know that this is not all about plants but if I could keep someone from loosing a much loved family pet I would be happy. Certain kinds of lillies are also very poisonous. |

Heart, I'm terribly sorry about your dog/pup..oh that's horrible.. I've never heard Sago as a toxic plant, but one never knows. I went to Wikipedia to see if they had info on Cycads, but it didn't mention whether or not it was poisonous. Where did you find this list? I have birds, and always worry whether or not they're going to land on a plant and take a nibble. Again I'm so sorry..I can't believe a plant worked on the pup's liver so quickly..Do you know if the pup was eating the Sago longer than you thought? Did they say Mom's liver was also affected? Toni |
Yes, both dog's liver was completely destroyed. Both had thier stomachs to swell terribly and accumulate fluid. We tried to save the mama dog and spent a lot of money on her but to no avail. The vet said it was impossible for a dog to live with as much damage as they had. Go to the ASPCA website and you can find a list of all poisonous plants to animals. It is different for dogs and cats. Some plants will hurt dogs but will not hurt cats. You can also google it, just put in poisonous plants to animals. When a dog is affected by a poisonous plant, the damage starts immediately and does not take long to become apparent that something is wrong. |
It's important to do a toxicity search on backyard and house plants if animals or children have an opportunity to investigate. Toni, if you do a simple search on Sago Palm Toxicity, you'll soon find plenty of information about this plant. Leaving out the key word 'toxic' or 'poisonous' in a search will result in landscaping or botanical information. Heartsy, I am so sorry for your loss. |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (My Page) on Thu, Aug 9, 07 at 16:46
I had no idea Sago's were toxic..also checked other plants listed.. Thanks Heartsy and Rhizo.. One reason I stopped growing Oleander was because of its toxicity..Even to humans. So, I can imagine what would happen if a bird, cat, dog nibbled on it.. Heartsy, is there a dad in the picture? Toni |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Chichi!
Facts about Chichi
- Breed: Persian
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Long
Chichi's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, not good with kids, not good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Chi Chi is a compact little Persian boy with tons of pursonality. This little character and has fondness for cat milk, cream cheese, Wellness chicken and the occasional slice or oven roasted turkey lunch meat. He will stand in the kitchen waiting for these things to be served
He wants to be the center of attention, and even though his foster mom loves him alot, he wants to be in a only cat home as he does not seek out or enjoy other cats. He will sun himself on a cat bed near a window, or sit with you while you watch TV or look up at you with adoring eyes imploring you to give him a treat or wipe his eyes, ears and face. He loves his little nose rubbed. He'll run across the floor after a ball or string and loves to jump in the bathtub just because it's there.
He's a funny little ball of fluff and determination that will amuse and charm the person that is right for him. He should be adopted by a single person or a couple with no Children.
Other Pets at Helping Persian Cats
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Chichi, a Beverly Hills Persian cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Persian for sale in Beverly Hills, or seeking a Persian cat from a breeder in Beverly Hills.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Beverly Hills already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Beverly Hills breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Persian breeders who help with Persian rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Beverly Hills paves the way for another one to be saved.

Finally had a nice day so was working in my shop. Door was open as usual when I'm in there. Had a bunch of small parts of many kinds of wood that I had from scraps. Was very carfully assembling them and beginning to glue up some small parts, Had just put some clamps on them and was starting to drill before driving a small screw when something large and black flew right under my nose and the cat was about 6 inches behind it. A grackle had flown in the open door and the cat was right behind it. It flew over to the east window and tried to escape through the closed glass. the cat jumped up on a bench by that window and was swatting at the bird. Then it flew to the closed north window and the cat even jumped up on the table saw which was near the window, she couldn't get ahold of anything on the slick iron surface so she went crashing into some lathe tools and dislodging a bunch of them. The bird finally flew out the door but I have a total mess on my bench and I even whacked myself in the upper lip with the drill handle when I'm not sure which one of the participants went under my nose. I can't even find the square screwdriver bit I was just about to use in the drill. I'm thinking about putting a screen door on the shop. The mess will wait til tomorrow.
There is a bottle of maiwein in the refrigerator think I'll have a glass or two. |

Work shops are supposed to be sanctuaries where we create things, right? But life happens. Yes, a screen would help. |
A glass of maiwein is an excellent idea to settle the nerves, this must have been really exiting - for the bird and the cat and you. Last spring I had a bat come into the living room, that was exiting, but thew bat settled down and the cats lost interest. You had a merry chase there. |
I want to know what was coming out of your mouth. I am picturing the cartoon symbols that are over Sarge's head in Beetle Bailey. |
How do I make Maiwein? |

I am sure that you were thinking about what a fine, loving pet that Cat was!!! We all need a little excitment now and then....Right??? |
Cat did her job - wrong time, wrong place, but she's a cat |
Isn't it nice to have life back to 'normal', George?! Ahhhhh..... |
Sure glad that all you ended up with was a mess of inanimate objects! If the cat had caught the grackle, it could have been ugly!! A screen door sounds like a good idea. |
- Posted by anneliese_32 6 (My Page) on Sat, May 21, 11 at 17:35
Sorry you had such a mess and yes, you need to get a screen door. Rule #1 I learned over the years, catch cat and put in a secure place, then open doors and windows and try to get whatever flies or runs around out. |

The first of three cleanups and history lessons was held last week at the Olde Towne of Flushing Burial Ground.
The $1,300 to pay for the program was provided personally by City Councilman Peter Koo (D-Flushing) after upkeep of the city park was questioned.
As part of the program, students from IS 237 listened to a history talk from Bayside activist Mandingo Tshaka, a member of the burial ground conservancy who has been critical of the city's upkeep.
Koo is standing in the center, while Tshaka is sitting center left, with students and volunteers. The park is located on 46th Avenue, between 164th and 165th streets.

Erth Veils
Erth's Moth Veil is one of the best on the market - ultra-fine & silky in texture. We guarantee you'll love it!! It's the perfect product for concealing pores and giving your face a softer, more even, and less shiny look. Moth Veil has a slight tint though the product is very translucent. Can be used alone, or over foundations & concealers. Best applied with our highlighting brush after the rest of your mineral makeup has been applied.
Come's in a 30 gram sifter jar containing 9 grams net weight of product. Available in Moth Veil (light), Honey Veil (medium), & Autumn Veil (deep).
Veil ingredients : mica, zea mays, magnesium stearate, iron oxide.
The Importance of Mineral Powder
The true beauty of mineral powders is that they fulfill four distinct purposes in helping you create a flawless face- it helps to reduce shine, keep foundation on longer, add additional light coverage, & help diminish pore size. Moth veil is best applied with a foundation brush and in layers, used sparingly. If you have oily skin, you can apply a fair amount of veil to your face which will obviously also help reduce shine. However, if you have dryer skin, it is usually best to apply mineral veil sparingly & only to the nose & forehead (high-shine) areas.

New Music: Dominic Lord 'Overworld'
"I approach a song the way a designer approaches clothing—I'm a music designer," says Harlem's Dominic Lord. The rising talent has been in the lab working with everyone from Hudson Mowhawke to Stargate. When he's not recording, Dominic is rubbing shoulders with high end fashion designers like Riccardo Tisci (Givenchy). Yesterday, Vogue debuted his latest track, "Overworld."
"I was so riled up, I immediately went upstairs to the studio and recorded it in 30 minutes," he tells the fashion magazine. "Overworld is a word I created; it's the opposite of underworld. It's a state of mind more than anything else. It's about inspiring people to find their inner positivity and knowing that you can do anything."


text: Thank god I never got into the Stila lipglaze craze. Along comes my beloved Estee Lauder with their own adaption in the slickest, elegant packaging with the same click click and brush brush of some serious lipgloss. The shine factor is not as intense which is great, so it looks very similar to a semi matte lipstick. Very impressed. Only sold online or at Neiman Marcus before it is officially released everywhere. Enjoy!

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Dakota!
Facts about Dakota
- Breed: Corgi
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Dakota's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Dakota came from a family who didn't have time for her. So please be someone who does. She needs lots of exercise, obedience class, and love. She is only a year old and ready to start her life!
Please have had a corgi before and be familiar with their temperament.
Email for an application or questions. We are no longer at Petsmart.
Other Pets at Basic Alliance for the Rescue of K-9's
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Dakota, a Simi Valley Corgi dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Corgi for sale in Simi Valley, or seeking a Corgi dog from a breeder in Simi Valley.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Simi Valley already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Simi Valley breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Corgi breeders who help with Corgi rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Simi Valley paves the way for another one to be saved.

Updates deployed to the Connect production servers as a result of the code sprint that ended 20 August 2013.
User Facing: Desktop
- Enhanced the RSS Builder to give users the ability to specify a target blog, product, and/or language when building valid RSS URLs to pull content streams from Connect.
- Fixed an issue with votes not displaying on content that had been voted on. Also added defensive code to keep this issue from reoccurring.
- Modified the workflow system to give Security Response bloggers the ability to work on (edit, update, advance in the workflow) blog posts authored by other members of the Security Response team.
- Launched the official Symantec blog: "mobilesecurity.com"
- Processed an updated collection of API documentation pages for the Symantec Management Platform (SMP) and imported the content to the developer section of Connect.
- Modified our blog widget in the blog submission form to sort the blog names using a natural language sort technique. This change ensures that the ePerspectives blog is no longer sorted to the bottom of the list but, instead, is listed between the Enterprise Vault blog and the Healthcare Online User Group blog.
Admin Facing
- Re-tooled the "topic-community map" tool that admins use to associate Connect topics with Connect communities.
- Fixed an issue with the "pending group membership requests" screen that was displaying members who were no longer pending approval.
- Fixed a problem in the "Draft Workflow" that was causing certain content types to remain published after a site admin had changed their workflow status to unpublished.
User Facing: Mobile
- Fixed a problem that was throwing an error when switching from the desktop UI to the mobile UI.
Behind the Scenes
- Upgraded the code that aggregates and optimizes our CSS and JavaScript files to improve site performance.
