6 Most Long-Lasting Brands of America – Old Is Gold! |
Categories: Famous logo design, Logo design, logo design tips
Written By: Nora Reed
In today's world of corporate branding, several brands come and go. Only a few have managed to survive the test of times and still lead the brand race. But do you know the real secret of durable brands….their consistency of logo design. Brands that have stood for centuries have seldom changed their logo design. Uniformity of your logo plays a vital part in determining your brand's recognition and recall. Today, I would like to share with you the history and success story of 6 most durable brands of America. These brands have survived for over centuries without making any dramatic changes to their famous logos. Also, these long-lasting brands have made it to Wall Street's list of most iconic logos. Some of these brands and logos date back to the 18th century, surviving through generations. |
1. Coca-Cola – Spencerian Font: |
Although Coke was created way back in 1886 by pharmacist John Pemberton as a drug but soon it turned out to be the most successful beverage of America. The Coca-Cola logo was created by John Pemberton's bookkeeper, Frank Mason Robinson, in 1885. He came up with the name of the brand and selected the logo's unique cursive typescript, known as Spencerian script. Although Coke's packaging has witnessed several redesigns but changes to their logo have been minimal. This has been the secret to their long-lasting impression on their customers. | |
2. General Electric – Stylized Font: |
General Electric is another brand that is counted among the top 10 brands of the world. Its original logo, displaying the stylized G and E, was used at the company's foundation in 1892. It was later trademarked in 1900. All the way through its century old existence, GE made minor adjustments without altering the original style. The most noteworthy change was the addition of blue color to the background in 2004. This consistency in logo design played a major role in the durability and memorability of GE brand. | |
3. Vicks – Triangle Shape: |
Vicks, invented in 1890s by pharmacist Lunsford Richardson, is another brand that has been existent for over a century. The brand and its products are now owned by Procter & Gamble. Its trademark was its triangle-shaped logo that has been flipped, colored, made solid and given a bold over the years. However, the triangular shape has remained constant. This was a crucial part that created brand recall of Vicks. | |
4. Quaker Oats – Quaker Man: |
One of the oldest and popular food products of America has been the Quaker Oats. Its famous mascot, known as "The Quaker man", was registered in 1877. The Quaker Man signifies the value of State of Pennsylvania, home of many Quakers. In its entire 134 year period, the Quaker Oats logo has been altered only thrice. The first version of the logo showed the Quaker man holding a scroll with the word "Pure" on it. The image remained constant over a century only to transform into the smiling face on Quaker Oats products today. | |
5. The New York Times – NYT Font: |
The New York Times is America's most long-lasting and popular newspaper. It is famous for its font used in its logo which was created in 1851. In the 160 years of the tabloids presence, the logo has witnessed negligible changes, although the style of the font has been invariable. The most significant of changes was simplifying the name to The New York Times in 1857. Other minor change included the removal of 'the period' after the name in 1967. | |
6. Johnnie Walker – Striding Man: |
Although European countries like France and Germany are eminent for its wine and whiskeys, Johnnie Walker is one American spirit that has stood among the top whiskey brands for centuries. The American whisky originated in 1820 as Walker's Kilmarnock Whisky and was renamed to Johnnie Walker Whisky in 1908. Its logo design is famous for the "Striding Man" image, created by cartoonist Tom Browne. This image of a 'walking man with top hat and cane' has been the hallmark of Johnnie Walker brand and has constantly remained more or less the same. This consistency in logo design laid the foundation to long-lasting success of the brand. | |

What looks better.. a deck that matches the color of the house or a deck in a different color?
Here is a link that might be useful: Our house is this Pebble color
Follow-Up Postings:
I think it's up to you--what you feel looks best for your house. There's no real right answer, IMO, and lots of options that will look beautiful on any house. In our case, our new house is brick/white trim. And the deck out back is natural, weathered gray wood. I'm considering painting the railings and latticwork (at one end) white, so that it coordinates better with the house, but I haven't definitely made up my mind. Am giving myself a little time to make the right decision the first time around. |
I think natural, weathered wood goes with everything. |
either or I think. Contrast looks nice also. |
- Posted by stoneybaloney (My Page) on Sun, Mar 1, 09 at 10:43
I like a bit of contrast, personally. Our house is a dark brown and the desk is natural. I wouldn't mind painting it your pebble color, that would look pretty next to the dark brown. |
Our house has been 3 different colors in 38 years, stark white when we bought it, light blue and now a sand beige color. You might change the color of your house in the future so if you go for a matching color, it will either lock you in to that color forever or really restrict what color you can paint your house. I think you should go for a neutral color so you can paint your house any color you want in the future. Clare |
If you want to show it off, contrast it. If you want to hide it, same color/materials if possible to blend in. Totally a personal taste. I think a lot also depends on where it is too. |
Any of those colors would match pebble. |

My front porch and back deck were here when I bought my home. They are constructed with cheaper woods. A couple of years ago I painted my front porch white to match my house. The paint that gets walked on peeled off. When DS moves here he is going to either repaint it or stain it. I would like to paint the railings on the back deck and stain and seal the rest of it. |
- Posted by hostapasta (My Page) on Sun, Mar 1, 09 at 19:20
My house is an old style colonial/farm house - the color is light gray, the front porch is white & the deck is a dark taupe color - the contrast looks really good. |
I think almost anything too would match. Our siding is close to yours, we have brick (terra cotta-y shades and colors) also, plus a dark brown garage door and the soffits are dark brown and rain gutters also. So we went with a dark brown stain on our deck. I would match what you have. In our case, contrast would mean adding yet another color! lol |
I am lazy. Natural weathered won't ever need to get re painted. :) Moni |
Personally, I love your pebble color so I'd want it to match if it were mine--but you need to do what you like. It doesn't have to, by any means. |
I went back to look at those colors again and started reading about Correct Deck. Man, that stuff's neat!! Since the color won't fade, be sure you like what you get. LOL! |
A lot of it is probably personal preference. With composite deck materials you would be limited in your color choices. Of course, with wood you would be also. Our house color is very close to the Pebble color of yours (w/off-white trim and dark green for accents, such as octagon attic vents, shutters, front door, etc) and our new deck is close to the mahogany (for main deck) and cedar (for the trim and "accents") shown in your link. One of the pictures I posted in your last post about decks shows part of the back of our home (w/out any of the dark green accent -- that's just in the front and sides) to give you an idea of how the colors go together. I can post a few more if youÆd likeģ We are VERY pleased with how the colors coordinate. As another posted suggested, if you want your deck to blend in, match to your house. If you want it to "stand out", go with another coordinating, neutral color(s). Good luck Lydia. (Just wait tll you get to the final "design" stage! LOL) |
- Posted by liz_ga (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Mar 1, 09 at 22:12
I think it's just a matter of taste...Ours is natural with a strong varnish type stuff that keeps the wood from greying...we power washed it our first spring here and put that stuff on...this is our house. Good luck!! I'm sure you'll figure out the right choice!! |
Thanks everybody! Liz your house looks like it's in a dream in that photo! That's quite a deck! Babs - thanks again for the railing idea. We aren't going with the iron sections like you have, but are using bronze colored aluminum ballusters.. so it will be similar in the look. I think we've decided to go with the pebble color. I want a real wood color which leaves out the sage and merlot, the mahogany looks best for contrast IMO, but we have so many oak trees that in the spring we get 'dusted' and I think it'd be hard to keep the dark color looking good. |
Are you doing it yourself, Lydia? When you're finished, come build mine! :-) |
Heck NO okwriter!! DH did take down the old one, but we are paying to have to new one built. |
DH keeps talking about hiring someone to build ours, too. Somehow, I don't think it will happen this summer...we still have a lot of work to do on/around the pond first. A "dock" comes before a "deck" IMHO. :-) |

Tyrese's Ex-Wife Wants More Child Support
Tyrese Gibson's ex-wife took him back to court and asked the judge to increase her child support payment's for their daughter Shayla. Norma Gibson told the court that he is an absentee father. Tyrese's ex claims she deserves more support because he consistently blows off daddy duties, reports TMZ. At the time of their divorce he was ordered today her $6,230 a month in child support.
He offered up proof that he wasn't by revealing that he threw Shayla a 300-person birthday party when she turned five. Tyrese also says he pays for Shayla's private school and her nanny, he regularly buys her new clothes, shoes, and around the holidays he spends "thousands" to play Santa.
On the day of the hearing Tyrese Tweeted: "Real MEN and Fathers…. Pray a hard prayer for me this morning from wherever you are. This morning is gonna be a rough one.. #ShaylaDadLove."
The judge denied Norma's request for the child support increase. After the hearing was over Tyrese posted: Read more
Tyrese Gibson Tells Wife To Get A Job
Tyrese Gibson sounds like he's tired of paying out money to his estranged wife, Norma Mitchell Gibson. In court papers, Tyrese basically tells her to get a job.
According to RadarOnline.com, Tyrese claims that despite having a pre-nup agreement, he has "already paid $75,000 worth of respondents professional fees and costs for a marriage which lasted less than 10 months. Prior to this 10 month marriage, respondent and I entered into a prenutpial agreement which resolved all issues between us, other than those pertaining to our minor child."
His attorney requested that Norma take a vocational exam. "Ms. Gibson can and should seek employment and is lawfully employable in the United States at this time."
The next hearing in this case will be July 27th.
Judge Rules On Tyrese Gibson Child Support
A judge has ordered Tyrese Gibson to pay $6,222.00 per month to his estranged wife Norma for support of their daughter, Shayla.
The judge gave primary physical custody to Norma with visitation for Tyrese. The support will apply until Shayla reaches the age of 18.
The couple is due back in court on August 18 and 19 to hear Norma's case on contesting the prenuptial agreement.
Tyrese Ordered To Give Estranged Wife $65,000
Tyrese Gibson and his estranged wife had a court hearing today after she filed papers claiming he is not giving enough support while their divorce is in progress.
A judge today ordered Tyrese to pay $65,000 to his estranged wife, Norma Mitchell Gibson. He was also ordered to provide $6,230 per month in support, pay her rent of $2,730 and make her car payments in the amount of $800.
The judge ruled Tyrese can write off the rent and car payments.
These amounts are all temporary until their divorce is settled and she's contesting their prenup agreement.

Yeah, I saw it on your mom's FB, Bristol. It's absolutely heartbreaking.
What a sad and depressing ad. We can't afford four more years!
Bbeautiful if you have truly read my comments on other sites, you'd notice that I have many Black supporters. If you noticed I have provided historic documents and hardly ever comment. As a matter of fact I was invited to join the Frederick Douglas Foundation and I'm a Whitie! The FBI knows exactly who I am and know that they can not touch me as a racist, as a matter of fact there's those who back me! I even have my own former Secret Service Agent who backs me and watches over my home.
Exactly bb! And conservatives conveniently forget the large portion of the stimulus that was approved by Bush. Not to mention all the spending that was approved by the previous administration that was inherited by Obama. And while were at it do any of you have anything to say about the creation of Homeland Security – the largest expansion of government since the Great Depression? Or how about Bush's medicare expansion? And of course as bb said those 2 very expensive wars that we never paid for. Why weren't conservatives complaining then? Did you really believe your side when they told you we'd be greeted as liberators and that Iraq would pay us back?
Thank you very much for your insightful comments on this blog. They have been very appreciated by many!! I would not waste your time on sheeple like bbeautiful & Shiela. Your WISDOM is needed by those who are human, have a heart and actually care about this country.
BLAH – BLAH – BLAH – BLAH – BLAH. Bush is not on the ticket!!! It is pathetic that after 4 years, people like you still blame him. Can you not be more creative? What has Obama done for you?
"Despite all that he inherited, President Obama did not repair our economy, he did not save Medicare and Social Security, he did not tame the spending and borrowing, he did not reach across the aisle to bring us together." Mitt Romney
"The issue is not the economy that Barack Obama inherited, not the economy as he envisions, but this economy that we are living." Paul Ryan
Congrats Christine you get to wear the dunce cap again. The point of bringing up BUSH is that he and the republicans did SO much damage to this country that no one could fix all of it in 4 years.
And whats funny is you will be at the front of the line if (Romndy wins and things aren't better in 4 years) chanting Obama created this mess and we can't correct it in 4 years.
Republicans are HYPOCRITES!
BTW you can hardly blame Obama for not "reaching across the aisle" to work with republicans considering they refused to work with him on any issue because they didn't want to give him a win. Boehner stated that he got 98 percent of everything he wanted in the debt deal but backed away from it at the last minute because his side didn't want a victory for Obama.
Republicans hate America.

1 lb dried cannellini beans 4 T EVOO 2 cloves garlic, crushed 4 oz. Pancetta, roughly chopped 3 leaves fresh sage (if fresh not available, use 4t chopped fresh parsley). 1 Leek, finely sliced 1x14 oz. can plum tomatoes, chopped with their juice salt and freshly ground black pepper. 1. Carefully pick over the beans, discarding any stones or other particles. Place the eans in a large bowl and cover with water. Soak for at least 6 hours or overnight. Drain. 2. Preheat the oven to 350. In a small saucepan, cook pancetta until crisp. Remove pancetta from pan and set aside. Heat the oil and sautee the garlice cloves and sage leaves for 3-4 minutes until garlic is tender but not brown. Remove from the heat. 3. In a large deep baking dish combine the beans with the leek and tomatoes. Stir in the oil with the garlic and sage. Add pancetta. Add enough fresh water to cover the beans by 1 inch. Mix well. Cover the dish with a lid or foil, and place in the center of the oven. Bake for 1 3/4 hours. 4. Remove the dish from the oven, stir the beans, and season with salt and pepper. Return the beans to the oven, uncovered, and cook for another 15 minutes, or until the beans are tender. Remove from the oven and allow to stand for 7-8 minutes before serving. Serve hot or at room temperature. **For vegetarian version, simply omit the pancetta. |
Follow-Up Postings:
this is VERY different from any recipe i've seen before and i will look forward to trying it out--thanx, adrienne! and congratulations again on achieving your graduate degree! |
I am definitely going to try these. Thanks for sharing the recipe. |
Very nice recipe, thanks Adrienne. Makes me think of a question.............. I don't use a lot of dried beans, but when I do I always examine them and 'pick them over'. I've never found anything to throw away, no stone or anything, and I am 56 years old and have been 'picking' for a few years! Do we really have to pick them over? |
- Posted by AdrienneLIQ (My Page) on Thu, Jun 30, 05 at 12:24
LOL Woodie...I added that in as a disclaimer! LMAO!!! The recipe said to do it so I added it in...I myself have never lost a tooth on beans before ...but I guess you never know! Good luck and let me know how you like the recipe! Adrienne |
I have picked over many, many beans at my restaurant for soups, and black beans that come with our huevos, and have found LOTS of stones and debris. The small packages most people buy in stores are almost always clean.(And the really fancy, expensive ones are very clean). But if you buy in bulk, trust me there are things in there. I bet most of it falls to the bottom so you won't get much in the top of the bin but if you are taking the bottom of the bin BE CAREFUL! The bags & boxes I get my stuff in says raw agricultural product and they mean it! This looks like a great recipe. |
Woodie, I too have found lots of little pebbles in the pinto beans that we like. This does sound like a great recipe and I think I have some of the beans. Great dish for the 4th. Thanx. RL` |
Loved the beans. Tucked them in the oven while making my pies and they were great. I used gigantes, DH's favorite. And I did add a toasted bread crumb topping. Much better than sweet American baked beans, 4th of July or not! |
Reporting in on the Tuscan Baked Beans We made them on Saturday and served them with a grilled turkey breast half and tomatoes stuffed with spinach and topped with parmesan cheese. I didn't have pancetta so used triple smoked bacon from the butcher shop. Also didn't have fresh sage but added about a Tbs. of chopped fresh basil. Otherwise, I followed the directions as posted. They were absolutely delicious and I would definitely make them again. We mixed the leftovers with some tuna, basalmic vinegar, sliced purple olives and olive oil for a lunch salad today. Thanks, Adrienne. |
- Posted by AdrienneLIQ (My Page) on Tue, Jul 5, 05 at 17:56
Glad you enjoyed! I'm thinking of making my leftovers into a "chili" with some cubed chicken breast, some more tomatoes, and chicken broth...should be good. |
- Posted by fearlessem (My Page) on Tue, Jul 3, 07 at 23:39
Thanks for this post Adrienne -- they sound fabulous! Will make them soon and report back! Emily |
I made them too! I used mixed dried beans... though.. so they took twice the time:) And added some ail confit that I made this week and lots of chopped Rosemary..Bacon as I didn't have Pancetta on hand...I usually keep some frozen..but had none:( Keepers for me..Glad I have leftovers..they will be my main meal Friday night. And I am reading A Thousand Days in Tuscany~ Thus the final inspiration..Thanks! Parmesan would be good w/:) |

Crazy Netball - Saturday 28 April 2012
This tournament involves you playing a position you wouldn't usually play. Approx £40.00 per team plus something for umpire cover (more details to follow)
My name is Steve Jordan and in 2011 I was due to climb Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for the Prospect Hospice that is based in Wroughton. Due to an ankle injury, I was unable to complete this challenge, but still aim to raise the £10,000 target that I set myself last year. One of the ways in which I am raising money towards this target is to hold the second crazy netball tournament on Saturday 28th April 2012 at Dorcan Leisure Complex.
Places are limited to 24 teams so again let George know ASAP if you want to participate.
Devizes Tournament – Sunday 17 June (10am – 4pm)
Hopefully this year the weather will be kind and we can actually play some netball.
This is £30 per team and we need people to umpire.
If you want to play or umpire in this tournament please let George know. We need to pay and submit names by end of April and places are limited!

The Maiden community lost a former coach this week who helped begin a winning high school football tradition.
William "Bill" Barefoot — who coached at Maiden High from 1955-59 and again from 1962-65 — died Monday night in Columbia, S.C.
"If George Washington is the founding father of our country, Bill Barefoot is the father of football at Maiden," said Barefoot's former player and co-captain Charles Abernethy.
Struggling out of the gate in Barefoot's first season in 1955, the Blue Devils finished 2-4, but Barefoot continued to build a young program.
With a victory Saturday against Northeastern on the volleyball court, Newton-Conover won its eighth state championship.
The volleyball crown, the school's first in history, continued an amazing run of state titles at N-C since the year 2000.
During that span, the Red Devils are the state's best in five different sports.
"I just think the excitement surrounding a state championship and kids wanting to be a part of it is infectious," said N-C athletic director Ericia Turner. "The community just surrounds the kids. It's a pride thing for them."
The father of 10-year-old murder victim Zahra Baker appeared in court in Newton on Tuesday. Like the woman accused of murdering his daughter, he wants his criminal trial to be moved to a new venue.
Adam Baker faces Catawba County charges of identity theft and obtaining property by false pretenses. Both counts are felonies, but are unrelated to Zahra Baker's murder.
In Caldwell County, Baker is charged with two counts of communicating threats, assault with a deadly weapon and failure to return rental property.
RALEIGH — North Carolina residents are evenly divided in how they feel about the anti-Wall Street protest movement and the Tea Party that preceded it catering to Americans angry about the country's business and government institutions, a statewide poll released Monday found.
The Elon University Poll finds respondents familiar with Occupy Wall Street are split, with 45 percent holding an unfavorable opinion and the same number expressing support. The poll does not measure eligible or likely voters, but takes a snapshot of general public opinion.
A little more than a year ago attorney Shawn Clark was less than 250 votes from winning the Republican primary for the District 25 Attorney's office. Today, he faces charges of extortion and obstruction of justice over accusations of a sexual affair with a client.
More details on the story are available in the Tuesday print edition of The Observer News Enterprise and online at www.observernewsonline.com.
Other news featured for Election Day 2011 includes:
A grand jury indicted former district attorney candidate and Catawba County lawyer Shawn Clark on Monday on extortion and obstruction of justice charges.
Clark — who last year lost a District 25 Attorney Republican primary by less than 250 votes — is charged with two counts of extortion and one count of obstruction of justice. Accusations surround a series of back-and-forth court battles between Clark and a former client a few months prior to the May 2010 primary.Â
Helen Hermene Little Coulter, 96, of Hickory, died Monday, Nov. 7, 2011 at Lutheran Home East. Bass-Smith Funeral Home is serving the family of Helen Hermene Little Coulter.
Sue Carol Gray Hilfery, of Hickory, died Friday, Nov. 4, 2011 at her residence. Bass-Smith Funeral Home and Crematory is serving the family of Sue Carol Gray Hilferty.
Two percent of Catawba County residents eligible to vote in this year's election marked their ballots at one-stop sites.
The rest of the county's 47,419 eligible voters still have an opportunity today to choose members of local municipal and school boards.
"There's not much opposition as far as the cities go this time, but there's always the opportunity for write-ins," said Larry Brewer, the county elections director. "There are also two school districts where you can voice your opinion for the boards. It's definitely an important election. They're all important."
On Wednesday, an emergency signal will interrupt TV and radio station broadcasts for about 30 seconds at 2 p.m.
Karyn Yaussy, the Catawba County Emergency Management coordinator, said the signal will only be a test and no action will be required.
Yaussy said the test is similar to regular emergency signal tests that air on radio and TV stations.
A superior court judge postponed the case of a former Maiden High School teacher accused of having sex with a student.
Christopher Bryce Caldwell, a former Maiden band director, is charged with one count of taking indecent liberties with a student and one count of sexual activity with a student.
Caldwell did not speak at his appearance in court on Monday for a pre-trial hearing, and Superior Court Judge Carl Fox agreed to continue the case until Jan. 30, 2012.

LULLABIES FROM THE AXIS OF EVIL By Paul-Emile Comeau Kirkelig Kultureverksted
When President Bush singled out three countries as the "Axis of Evil" his words reverberated far and wide. The actual consequences of his branding Iraq, Iran, and North Korea as "evil" may be hard to assess but one result is this unusual CD. Producer Erik Hillestad's modest approach to reducing the effects of the stigma was to emphasize the most fundamental commonality between all human beings. Lullabies are the universal common denominator and, regardless of their cultural origins, they all share the same musical, lyrical and structural approach. Hillestad traveled to so-called "enemy" countries, which also include Palestine, Cuba, Afghanistan and Syria, and recorded women, some of whom are professional singers, singing well-loved lullabies. He then approached composer Knut Reiersrud to write a modern musical soundscape for each acappella performance and then a dozen singers from the West, including Lila Downs, Mimi, Nina Hagen, Eddi Reader and Annisette, were asked to add English vocals to the originals. The results are intriguing but the production sometimes distracts from the purity of the vocals.

La Latina, Asturias + Lavapiés
Taberna Almendro 13
On a quiet corner off one of La Latina's busy tapas-hopping thoroughfares, Almendro 13 is far from undiscovered—in fact, it buzzes. But that's part of its allure. Vying for a spot at one of the tables made from overturned barrels in the small yellow dining room with harvest-theme murals is a sport. The huge, shareable plates include grilled jamón sandwiches and the house specialty, huevos con pisto (eggs with ratatouille), which comes over a bed of thinly sliced potatoes and dressed (or not) with a sprinkling of Serrano ham. Everyone drinks cañas, small glasses of the beer on tap, or white wine from tiny tumblers—nothing else is available, apart from water.
Insider Tip:
Have one person in your party move for a table while another places the order. And don't worry about being polite!

Our good friend SbT informs me that soon Haloscan will be no more. Many posts on other blogs seem to back this up. So far, Haloscan still works, so I'm willing to leave HS in place on this blog until it goes offline.
What I am not willing to do is to spend even one little penny on the service that HS is becoming. It pains me that years of comments on this blog and others I really like are likely about to be destroyed. I responded to almost every comment posted on this blog and a record of those exchanges should survive. Please do not blame me for this. Blame the companies running this scam.
Any long-term commenters or readers who would like space on this blog that will never be deleted, feel free to send me an email and we can arrange for you to write a guest post.

The following blog post was written by Steve Hoberg, a Frontier Market Scout.
We have all see the definitions of social enterprise, and they are all basically variants of "an enterprise that creates social benefit," could either be for-profit or not-for-profit. Although, after that general definition the clarity stops. It can be argued that almost any business, run ethically, creates social benefit; and customers and investors alike are starting to look more closely at businesses and what measureable societal benefits they actually create.
The basic problem is that each business touts the good things it does, but that does not tell the whole story. We have seen the effects of "greenwashing" in the environmental arena. And now there are "green" oil companies – maybe that just means that they are greener than the others. But this has left the term "green" as virtually meaningless.
The key is that the social impact part of the business must be integrated into its business model in a way that can't be changed. In embedding social impact into the DNA of an enterprise, creating impact is not an option, and instead, becomes a goal. We must not dilute the benefit that true social enterprises are accomplishing in the field by allowing things like greenwashing to be seen as having true societal and environmental impact. People must understand that just because a company is involved in philanthropy, that company should not necessarily be termed a social enterprise.

The SCALANCE XR324-4M PoE is released with the following restrictions:
1. The following approvals are still pending:
cULus cULus-HazLOC FM
We expect that the approvals will be granted by E10/2010.
1. Product description
The SCALANCE X324-4M PoE is a powerful, industry-standard, Layer 2 Industrial Ethernet 19" rack switch that offers IT functions in addition to industry features. These switches are designed for applications in larger networks with different connection media and high port density of the network components, including connection to the enterprise network. Comprehensive redundancy functions (STP/RSTP/MRP, link aggregation), utilization as redundancy manager, as well as manifold management/diagnostics options (VLAN, Quality of Service, IGMP, RMON) permit high plant availability and user-friendly configuration. SCALANCE XR324-4M PoE (4 media module slots) Versions are available with • LEDs, data cable outlet on the front and power supply connection at the rear • LEDs, power supply connection on the front and data cable outlet at the rear
All versions have four media module slots and an optional • 1 x 24 V DC (24 V - 48 V) power supply
The SCALANCE XR-300 have the following interfaces: Ethernet interfaces: 16 permanently integrated electrical 10/100/1000 Mbit/s RJ45 ports, 8 of which support PoE in accordance with IEEE 802.3at Type 1 (corresponding to IEEE 802.3af). Up to 4 slots for 2-port media modules, electrical or optical (multimode or singlemode). The optical media modules are available with different connection options.
Electrical media modules: • Connection of up to 8 x electrical 10/100/1000 Mbit/s RJ45 ports for connecting stations and interconnecting the switches.
MM992-2CUC: Electrical media module 2 x 10/100/1000 Mbit/s RJ45 ports with retaining collar MM992-2CU: Electrical media module 2 x 10/100/1000 Mbit/s RJ45 ports without retaining collar
You will find information about the 2-port media modules under entry ID: 43512655
Other interfaces: • Slot for optional C-PLUG swap medium on the side of the device for easy device replacement in the event of a failure • 4-pole terminal block for redundant power supply for protection against voltage failure at 24 V DC. • 2-pin terminal block for isolated signaling contact for simple display of faults • The fault signaling contact can be easily set on the device by means of a SELECT/SET button. • The status information is indicated by means of a row of LEDs (power, link status, data communication, power supply, signaling contact). • Remote diagnosis is possible via a signaling contact, PROFINET, SNMP, web browser and CLI
Further technical characteristic All ports of the SCALANCE XR-300 support Gigabit Ethernet. For the SCALANCE XR300, however, no "full wire speed" backplane architecture (all ports are simultaneously interconnected via Gigabit Ethernet) was selected. For the XR300, a "blocking architecture" was selected. 3 blocks with 8 ports each are interconnected in each case. Full wire speed is possible within the blocks. However, only 1 Gigabit Ethernet is used for connecting the blocks to each other. This technical characteristic is clearly indicated in the manual. When operating with Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s), no blocking takes place due to the described configuration of the SCALANCE XR-300.
2. Ordering data
3. Goal of application/customer benefits
The SCALANCE X324-4M PoE is ideal for use in plant networks and for integrating the industrial network into an existing corporate network. Both at the field level and the control level, the switch performs the networking with the distributed field devices and ensures high plant availability with extensive diagnostics options and high transmission rates. The modularity permits perfect adaptation to the respective application through the use of electrical and/or optical media modules. The main area of application is found in high-performance plant networks with interfaces to the corporate network. The SCALANCE X324-4M PoE switch is suitable for establishing optical Industrial Ethernet linear, star or ring topologies with 24 ports, 16 of which are integrated RJ45 ports. Up to four additional electrical and/or optical 2-port media modules can be inserted in the media module slots of the basic unit. The switch can also be used as a star coupler in the plant bus (redundant connection is possible).
SCALANCE XR324-4M PoE customer benefits
4. Miscellaneous
For further information, please visit our SCALANCE X-300 Product website. The SCALANCE X-300 can be found in the catalog and the Mall.
To assist in selecting the right Industrial Ethernet switches as well as configuration of modular variants, the Switch Selection Tool is available as a free download: 39134641

Being Kind Counts
Recently I signed up for a blogging challenge in which I took a pledge to be a Kindness Captain. Sounds like a fancy title, right? Well, we all have the ability to be Kindness Captains. What does it entail? It's easy. Be kind. Be kind to others. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to animals. Just be kind. During this challenge, several bloggers were tasked to come up with a kind (do good) deed. There are endless ways we can all be kinder, even if it means that you start with yourself.
Human Interaction
My first step as Kindness Captain is simple - have more human interaction. Let me ask you some questions. When was the last time you struck up a conversation with the stranger in line behind you? When was the last time you smiled or said "hi" to a stranger? Or when was the last time you actually looked someone in the eye?
These days it's easy to be removed from any real human contact. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, blogs. They are all ways we fool ourselves into thinking that we are actually connecting with people. Sure, it's very helpful to stay in contact with friends and family that live far away, but how has the easy act of grabbing your phone to text someone affected how you operate from day to day?
Speaking for myself, I started to notice that I was constantly looking at my phone. Checking facebook or instagram. Texting friends. I was missing out on the people that were right next to me, even if they were strangers. I was missing my opportunity to have a human interaction.
What happens when you make eye contact?
After I put the phone away, I began to make a point of making eye contact with strangers. Specifically, I started making eye contact and smiling at individuals I'd passed by every day, without the slightest of thought. Who are these individuals? They are standing on the corner asking for your help. They are walking the streets looking for their next place to sleep. They are in parks. They are on sidewalks. They are people just like us. People on a journey.
Over the years, I became jaded. When I was in high school, I remember giving someone that was asking for money, some food and they rejected it. A few years later, I gave someone change for gas and I saw them go buy cigarettes. This isn't the norm but it was what I started to think. So I eventually stopped looking at anyone asking for change or help, to avoid the awkward turn down.
Now that I work in social service, I've started to see things differently. Yes, some individuals will not use the help you offer. Some will not use the money for what they say. But all of them could use a little kindness, even if it's just a smile and eye contact. We all want to be seen. Why not look at them? Why not smile at them? And if possible, say "hi".
You never know where one small step will take you
A step forward is a step in the right direction. What if your smile changed someones mood? What if your "hi" made someone feel seen and worthy? What would be the harm? We have unlimited smiles available to us. They are free and guess what?! A smile at a stranger may even change your mood.
I challenge you!
Make an effort to have more human interaction. If it's too hard at first, just start with one day a week. Let's bring back the lost art of human interaction. To think, it only starts with a little eye contact and a smile. Why not start today?
Share your story of how you reconnected with the lost art of human interaction. Leave a comment below, or share on twitter (yes, I see the irony) with hashtags #BeingKindCounts and #TeamHumankind.

A well-known First Nations Chief is two weeks into a hunger strike when thousands of young indigenous people hit the streets, the malls and the highways in a myriad of non-violent creative actions in solidarity and to demand change from an intransigent government.

Bunions |
Bunions Essential Oil UsageA bunion is a bony protrusion on the side of the big toe or in some less common cases on the outside of the small toe. The protrusion at the joint of the base of the toe can become irritated, swollen and painful. As the protrusion becomes larger the toe bends toward the second toe causing further sources of irritation. There appears to be multiple causes of a bunion. Genetically the foot may be shaped such that normal activity puts excessive pressure on the big toe eventually causing a bunion. Some suggest footwear that does not fit properly may also put excessive pressure and cause a bunion. The protrusion may be excessive bone structure or a fluid sac called the bursa that becomes inflamed. In any case the deformity of the toe makes it difficult to find proper fitting footwear, is not a pleasant sight, and can be very painful. [search help: bunion, hallux valgus, bunions] Signs that indicate someone is suffering from bulimia may include an obsession with weight and self image, possible evidence that large amounts of food have been consumed such as hidden food or junk food containers or wrappers, or purging signals such as signs of laxatives or self-induced vomiting, etc. Depression or other emotional signals may also be present. |
Bunions Essential Oil UsageOils & Blends: AromaTouch, Balance, Lemongrass, Wintergreen Essential oils based products: Life Long Vitality supplements Also consider: Breathe, Cypress, Deep Blue, Immortelle, PastTense Suggested protocols: One very experienced oils user has had success using Balance topically on the bottoms of the feet and on the back of the neck at least 2 time daily. Also topically apply to the area Wintergreen, Lemongrass and AromaTouch for pain and healing. Breathe, Deep Blue, Immortelle and/or PastTense may also be used for pain. Covering the feet after applying the oils will speed up the effects. Healing varies from a few weeks to months. Cypress for increased circulation to speed the process. Plus the Life Long Vitality supplements will give balanced nutrition and speed the process. If the bunion is the result of an inflamed bursa of the toe then consider the essential oils suggested for bursitis. |

While the 9800 GTX might not be the revolutionary jump that we had hoped for, it's still a very good card for someone looking at buying a new graphics card with this kind of budget. The first retail 9800 GTX we're going to look at comes from ASUS and doesn't carry with it any extra acronyms such as TOP.
It's a basic stock clocked model with the normal ASUS take on the bundle. Pre-overclocked 9800 GTX cards still seem to be a bit few and far between at the moment, with the card having been out for two weeks.
Let's have a look at what ASUS has done with the 9800 GTX bundle before we get into the card itself.

The first Fiat 500s sold in the U.S. will, in fact, be gasoline powered, but Chrysler has indicated its engineering teams are hard at work preparing an electrified variant. Although a 500 EV is still at least two years away from dealer showrooms, it is moving closer to reality -- in fact, it was announced today that Chrysler has inked a deal to purchase battery packs for the car from SB LiMotive.
The company, a joint venture between German auto supplier Bosch and Korean firm Samsung, has been charged with engineering, developing, and producing the lithium-ion battery packs for the small 500 EV. Development is currently under way in SB LiMotive's offices in Orion, Michigan (a stone's throw away from Chrysler's Auburn Hills HQ), but production will be an international affair. Battery cells will be built in Korea, but assembled into finalized battery packs in a facility in Springboro, Ohio. From there, completed packs will be shipped to Chrysler's factory in Toluca, Mexico, which builds 500s for North America.
Although Chrysler has shown what was allegedly a 500 EV prototype at the 2010 Detroit auto show, the automaker has been surprisingly mum on the details of its electrified hatchback. SB LiMotive breaks the car down into three primary subsystems: an electric powertrain module, an EV control module, and a lithium ion battery pack. SB LiMotive may be providing the latter, but Chrysler itself is apparently engineering the other two components.
Interestingly, SB LiMotive wasn't always the front runner for this contract. According to the Detroit News, A123 Systems had initially earned the contract, but the battery manufacturer withdrew from the deal. According to the company, A123 couldn't compete from a pricing perspective, especially when production volumes were revised to a lower-than-expected number.
"SB LiMotive earned this business because we can supply high-quality lithium-ion battery packs in the quantities needed, on-time to the market," said Dr. Joachim Fetzer, executive vice president of SB LiMotive, in a prepared statement. "We look forward to partnering with Chrysler in bringing this exciting new vehicle to market."
Exciting, perhaps, but we're more interested in seeing how the conventional 500 fares in North America. The little retro-styled subcompact is due for a U.S. launch in a matter of weeks, but the company has yet to announce finalized U.S. pricing. Regardless, expect electric versions to command several thousand dollars more than their gasoline-powered siblings.

Industry Leaders Sponsored by
Spafinder Wellness 365 announced the first-ever travel awards program dedicated to honoring spas, hotels, resorts and retreats that offer exceptional experiences and programs to consumers seeking healthy vacations and travel. The new Wellness Travel Awards will be given to the top properties on six continents, in dozens of countries and regions and in numerous special categories, such as "Best for Getting Fit" and "Best New Wellness Travel Property."
The Wellness Travel Awards represent an evolution of the company's popular Readers' Choice Awards, and recognize a rapidly growing demand for healthier travel options. According to recent research conducted for the Global Wellness Institute, wellness tourism is one of the fastest-growing travel categories, already representing one in seven tourism dollars. The market is expected to reach $678.5 billion by 2017—experiencing nearly 50% more growth than global tourism overall.
"People are redefining what they want when on vacation or traveling for business," said Spafinder Wellness 365 Chief Brand Officer Mia Kyricos. "Our research shows they are clearly looking for transformative experiences and environments that leave them healthier when they check out than when they checked in."
Kyricos noted there is a vastly expanded map of travel destinations, from Chile to Cambodia, and choosing a property that offers healthier options is more complicated than simply booking a room. "Our goal is to create new resources, such as the Wellness Travel Awards, that help people make the best choices to feel good and live well every day–especially when traveling."
To ensure the most deserving properties are recognized, a unique two-part approach will be used to select winners. First, a global panel comprised of 26 spa and wellness industry journalists and experts will nominate top candidates in each category. The list of panel members appears below.
After the nominees are aggregated, Wellness Travel Award nominees will be announced on spafinder.com and other media outlets, and consumers will be invited to cast their votes for the final winners.
Spafinder defines wellness travel "as vacations, getaways and business trips that help travelers stay (or get) healthy by offering unique options, such as healthy cuisine or programs, that allow guests to relax and rejuvenate."
Continents noted in parentheses indicate where the headquarters of the publication or business are located. All publications and journalists provide global coverage and are as follows:

Q&A: Director Joan Grossman talks about Drop City, her latest Colorado-connected film
Richard Kallweit |
The feminism of our era really started in the 1970s. So as Carol DeJulio explains [in the film], they were all born in the 1940s; they were really coming from a more conventional sense of gender roles. But at the same time, what's interesting -- you know, you can't put everything into a movie unless we were going to make a six-hour epic -- is that one of the people we did have in the film, Linda Fleming, was one of the founders of Libre. She said one of the things she loved about Drop City was that because it was about art, it wasn't about this Mother Nature, back to the land.
She said that with some of the communes she visited, it was really oppressive because women were only in this role of "earth mother" and growing food. Not that there's anything wrong with growing food, but Drop City had this intellectual culture to it. She felt, as a female artist, that it was extremely exciting and that it did break roles.
The "earth mother" idea was another assumption I made about commune living -- that it's about farming. But Drop City really wasn't at all.
I don't think they would have minded growing food. But they were also very naive and very young -- the land was cheap and they liked the way it looked. They liked being in southern Colorado, and I don't think it ever occurred to them until later that, oh, it's shale. You can't grow anything here.
But it wasn't the drive; they had other ambitions with it, which was much more around having a place where they could just enjoy life. They were all artists -- though some of them don't even like the term "artist" because it's too highfalutin' and suggests the art market.
But as Gene Bernofsky says, they like to make things. Just being in an environment where they could just be creative was really the goal -- to be outside of the materialistic culture and outside of all of this war mentality that was brewing around the Vietnam War.
One of the things about Drop City that is also interesting is their exploration of geometric form, and the geodesic dome was really embracing technology. They weren't rejecting technology; they weren't going back to the land in that off-the-grid way. They were looking at how technology could make life more interesting. One of the ideas of the counterculture was developing alternative modes of networking and using technology and resources efficiently.
Do you keep in touch with any of the people involved with Drop City?
That's another thing that was so great about the project: I really became friends with a number of the people who were in the movie. They are such wonderful, interesting people who have stayed interesting. It wasn't like Drop City was something and they became investment bankers. [Laughs.] I mean, virtually all of them have maintained the values that they were exploring in Drop City, and they're doing so many interesting things. They are really inspiring and wonderful people to know. That's been a real gift of doing the project.
What I also appreciate is, they didn't take a nostalgic view; I mean, in some ways, yes. But there's a sense of really learning and growing from it -- moving on and gleaning from that experience and going on with life. There wasn't this sentimentality, and I appreciated that, because I think a lot of the stories about the 1960s have that nostalgic quality that makes it a generalized thing.
In a way, Drop City was a specific place and a specific set of circumstances. There's an originality you can see.

"The weather has adversely affected pretty much all of the areas," he said.
The effects have varied, depending on the crop. In many of the leafy green crops, for example, freezes can cause epidural peeling, blistering, tip burn and stunted plant growth.
Widerburg said he expected the weather-related inconsistent supplies to continue through March and begin to smooth out in April.
Elena Hernandez, marketing coordinator for Mann Packing Co., Salinas, agreed.
"It's been a tough season," she said. "Right now we're transitioning down in the desert, and there has been a lot of frost and cold temperatures. But we're faring fairly well."
During a typical year, temperatures improve in March and April as the company moves to the Salinas production area.
"We can get some really beautiful days and some really cold days," she said. "It really depends on how spring is going to treat us."

Brewer signs bill on photo radar on state highways
PHOENIX -- Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has signed a bill requiring state transportation officials to confirm there's a legitimate safety need before they allow cities to put photo enforcement cameras on state highways.
A Senate amendment to House Bill 2477 passed by the Legislature softened a requirement that cities show photo enforcement has improved safety if they want to renew their state permits every three years. The bill Brewer signed into law Wednesday allows non-renewal only if it can't be shown the cameras are maintaining a ``positive impact'' on public safety.
Eight cities and towns now use photo radar on stretches of state highways, and Casa Grande and Sierra Vista are working with the Arizona Department of Transportation to add them.

Yes, I know that the narcissus/daffodil family multiplies at the base bulbs, but what is the function of that small bulb at the base of the bloom? That hard "sack" appears to contain something that looks like seeds. All my daffodils are finished blooming now and I'm wondering if I pick the spent flowers and plant those dead-heads with the bloom-base-sacks... will those sacks bring future clumps? I'm sure those sacks are called something but I don't know the terminology for them. They must have some function. |

the "sack" will eventually contain the seeds. This seed pod must mature & will then dry (turn brown/black) after that point (& not before) let pod sit at 70F for 4 weeks. Then store at 40F for 4 weeks THEN>>>>> lightly cover the seed siul temp 68-71F & takes 14-28 days to germinate. |

I have some Paperwhite narcissus blooming right now. It is indoor, so there is no insect to pollinate the flowers. If I want to get some seed, do I have to manually pollinate them? Or will they self pollinate? Thanks, |

I have successfully rooted and installed a new rom on my Pipo max M1 and all is well. But for the life of me I cannot get this device to show in the list of devices when I run adb devices. I have tried several device drivers(adb composite usb device,rk29,rk30 device), as well as restarting pc and adb kill-server, adb start-server.(device is rooted again)
I wanted to know if any Max M1 owners managed to succeed where I have failed after so many frustrating hours. I just tried on my LG phone to see if it was just me but I got that to show up in the list on first go (of course windows found required drivers as soon as I connect with mass storage only turned off and debugging on). But that is not the case when it comes to the M1.
I would really appreciate any help on this.
It depends on the version of windows you have. On Win 7 it automatically installs the wrong driver so you must go to device manager and tell it to update the driver using the driver in the rkutility folder. I hope this helps. Once you do that install clockworkmod and let go of adb or the rkutility . It is safer and easier.
Thanks tek112 I will give that a go today. Can you tell me what storage options I should use (mass storage or media) or dose it matter because it won't allow me to turn them all off at the same time.
You only have one option, USB mass storage and when you mount it it mounts both internal and external storage of the tablet to the pc.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I see this is an old thread, but what I found after two days of hair tearing, is that I had to turn USB debugging OFF for the RK30 driver to work. From there on it was a breeze. Flash mode can be entered by hitting 'Switch' in the RKBatch tool.
I haven't read this anywhere else... so maybe this post helps a soul or two.

Year in, year out, the NBA's All-Star weekend leaves basketball fans in Toronto wondering when it will be their turn to see the league's marquee regular season event up close. On Sunday night, we may have gotten an answer.
COO Tom Anselmi confirmed to the Toronto Sun on Sunday that MLSE has put in a bid for the 2016 All-Star game after Doug Smith first reported the possibility earlier in the day.
While the process will be drawn out and we don't know how many other cities will bid, I honestly can't see the NBA passing on Toronto. The Association is all about growing the game internationally, Toronto would present the first chance to hold the All-Star festivities outside of the U.S., it's one of the four biggest markets in the league and hasn't hosted yet, and there might not be any competition from other mega cities (with all due respect to Cleveland, who is also in the running) since New York/Brooklyn will host in 2015 and Los Angeles just hosted in 2011 (For what it's worth though, Chicago hasn't hosted since 1988 and Boston hasn't hosted since 1964).
In addition, Smith reported that Toronto bidding for the 2016 game would be "to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the franchise," which only adds to the case for T.O., even though it will actually be the 21st season in franchise history.
We're obviously nowhere near the league making any decisions, but if Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment and Toronto are serious about hosting the NBA All-Star game in 2016, quite frankly, I think we got this.

Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point to Hold "Give Hope - Give Life Campaign"
March 22, 2012
Hudson, FL — Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point announces that during national donate life month (April) it is launching a campaign to "Give Hope. Give Life" through donations.
During this month Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point is encouraging physicians, staff and volunteers to become an organ donor by signing up on Florida's donor registry by visiting www.DonateLifeFlorida.org and follow the simple steps on that website. Those who volunteer to become organ donors through this announcement should also indicate their affiliation with Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point in the "heard about us" section so that RMCBP can track the number of people that they inspired.
More than 113,000 people in the United States are awaiting the Gift of Life through organ donations. Nearly 4,000 of those waiting are friends and neighbors in Florida. One person can potentially save eight lives through organ donation. There is no financial cost to the donor's family and donation is supported by all major religions.
Other interesting facts:
- People of all ages should consider themselves potential donors. Nationally one in ten donors is over age 65.
- Doctors who treat patients at the time of death are not involved in the donation process. Every effort is made to save a life before donation can be considered.
- It is a federal crime to buy or sell organs in the United States.
- 113,000 people await a life-saving organ transplant; 4,000 in Florida alone. More than 29% of those waiting are African American
Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point is planning on producing a video that would take photos and videos of employees who volunteer to participate sharing their donation decisions. Participation would be on a voluntary basis and only employees who are comfortable with participating would do so. The plan is for photos and short video clips to be put into a montage with music and could be used to promote and heighten the profile of donations throughout the hospital and potentially the community, through social media and web sharing. Members of the public are also invited to participate. Again, there will be no pressure.
