New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Some experimentation I've been doing with aliased pixel fonts. The majority of my energy has been going into the launch of Mean Tangerine ( very soon, I hope ), so the gradients of gray can be improved I'm sure. I've only been tinkering with the technique.
My main question is how the grays look in relation to the black. Due to the bold quality of the font, I'm not sure that the grays really work as elegantly as a font one pixel wide.
Any thoughts would be welcomed.
I can hardly read what it says. All the letters are running into each other.
Chris, thanks for your input, even if its a bit on the abrupt side. Can you tell me what kind of monitor you're using? I've heard that older monitors actually blur the pixel fonts that employ this technique.
I ask this because the letters do not run into each other. I'm not sure how literally you meant that. Can you send me a screen shot of how the graphic shows up on your screen?
Now that I think about it, since this is a graphic and not the actualy pixel fonts, the letterforms should stay in tact.
Can you give me a bit more to go on here? I'm afraid your input has come across as more of a put-down than anything I can use to make the font better.
Do the grays make each letter look blurry, and because they are placed one pixel apart from one another, they give an overally appearance of running together?
Also, how does the non-aliased version of Rolos strike you? Do its letters run together as well?
Perhaps it's the design as a whole that you dislike?
Any greater detail on your feedback would be great.
My monitor is new, only purchased last year. It's a Samsung 700 IFT set at 1024x768.
I didn't mean they literally ran into each other, but they "appear to". I see it as a thick black line with notches in it before I see it as letters. It's so squat and so bold that there's not much room for the bits that differentiate the letters from each other. The majority of them look like little squares with holes in them. There's hardly any word spacing either which doesn't help.
The aliased and antialiased versions look basically the same to me. The only one I really notice it on is the Deluxe set in flash, it's a little fuzzy but still suffers from the same problems as the others.
In contrast, the font you used to title each section is quite readable.
Chris, thanks for your added input. It is quite helpful. I've added an extra pixel to the space keystroke, and it brings out the words far better than before.
Having spent so much time on so many different faces for the launch of MT, I'm afraid I lose perspective on things.
I know that Rolos is a squat, specialty face, and that's all it's intended to be. More than anything, it is one example of my desire to push the boundaries of each letterform to their limits in ways that other pixel font designers haven't explored already.
Despite the fact that this font is only four pixels high, it's intended to be used as a ( very small ) titling font, for burst useage.
The other font is Nerve, a narrow face also intended for titling. The two little ones in the logo belong to the Toto family.
Thanks again. I'm glad to have had your help.
The extra space helps.
It still kind of runs together though. It could use a little more space, IMO.
cheers. there is still room in the small-pixel world for unique fonts.
the space helped, try another. The thin font reminds me of the classic star trek font, and the meantangerine is a bad mofo. [in a good way ok.]
the deluxe versions are better, you need the freedom I think.
Thanks for the enthusiasm. I've been building a catalog of fonts for over two years. To say I'm anxious to introduce them to the pixel font world is an understatement.
The Mean Tangerine store has been under development for one year now, a fact that keeps me up at night. If everything goes well, the site should launch by Jan 1.
The logo font is part of larger family called Ram.
I'll put some more work into Rolos and post some samples.
I took a look at your site, the nav looks nice .. is this the font you are using ....
i didn't realize it had been released.
i also noticed that the the bottom left section of the second page of the 'history' section looks remarkably like ...
did you work on that site too? you should include it in your portfolio.
No, that pixel font is not mine. The one I used on tyleryoungcreative is my own, which I will release as "TYC". Some of the other Mean Tangerine fonts I used were "Ram", "Resolution", "Samara", "Stomp", and "Toto".
All of these will be included in the first release of Mean Tangerine, hopefully any day now.
As for the Revelare site. My site? Hah, I wish. That site is a seriously advanced Flash application. Mean Tangerine has changed slightly in its overall appearance from the screen shot on TYC.
However, the zooming metaphor is the same.
looks to me like you are ripping off both that font and that site. what's up with that?
Christian, take a stroll through these forums and you'll find both pixel fonts and outline fonts that are alarmingly simimilar in some or even all of their characters. I won't even bother to include links to these unless you persist in your assertion that every font reviewed on this site is original in every way.
Ironically, I say this in regards to the Revelare site, as I didn't even know about the message boards here until some time after my font Ram ( which is the one I assume you're referring to ) was built.
Many of my fonts are as much as two years old, which is when I began building them for my now defunct web magazine Champfactory. Mean Tangerine was supposed to launch almost exactly one year ago.
It was then that I changed the site design from the first one I'd built ( have you looked at that one? ) to the one you don't approve of now, and it has taken way, way too long to build, and cost too much to change now.
What you're failing to take into account is that many of the same letterforms can be reached by any number of pixel font designers entirely independantly simply by the limitations of the traditional pixel grid size.
When I did see that post, I was bummed that someone else had produced a similar font. However, many of my characters are entirely different, and are smoother as a set. Am I going to delete my work because someone else has created something similar?
Of course not. Take a look around before you make despairing accusations.
As for the Revelare site, I have in fact used their zooming metaphor. As i've described in a previous post, that metaphor is so elegantly simple and effective, I can't think of a way to change it without breaking it.
The navigation metaphor is all I've used. It just so happens that squares look like squares no matter what kind of background you put them against. At any rate, my button assisted navigation is unique, my layout ( entire site structure ) is completely different, and my presentation of content is also different.
Take a closer look at Revelare. You'll see they sell their whole site as a site navigation solution. I mention this because it is highly indicative of what the revelare site really is, as recognized by its creators.
A superiour navigation system. Is it graphical? Yes. Is it beautiful to look at? I think so. They are actually marketing it the same way Flash Loaded is marketing their Ultimate Scroller. A method of presenting and navigating large amounts of information.
I'm curious to know what you think of all these sites ripping each other off with menu bars, animated masks, and scrolling lists?
Perhaps next time you could comment on the font I've posted, thereby fulfilling the purpose of this particular message board?
tyler- you seem very sincere, and i'm willing to agree to disagree regarding the font.
however, your argument regarding the relevare site is bogus. that's their design, their nav, their metaphor...not to mention their colors and text treatment. scrolling lists, animated masks? these are tools, windows elements... by your logic, no navigation is proprietary.
all this aside, you are only hurting yourself...the relevare site is well known in the design community, and my reaction to your design is not going to be uncommon.
I may need binoculars here but the top of the uppercase B is totally cut off - unless that's the intent
lowercase q is more lowercase g-like even though I see you've used the uppercase g in lowercase. perhaps knock out a pixel on the second last row on the right instead of adding pixel to the bottom left of the decender. (least that's what my eye sees)
tanya, I think the cutoff B is intentional. you don't really need the top, right? ;)
Relevare means 'to relieve', to lift a weight.
So they did, by stapling a few graphic rules together with a timeline and a database. Bravo! Now we can all copy it, unless they've got some kind of patent. Better to improve on it. tyler's only sin is aping it 1:1.
As for the font, go fish. Bitmap pixel space is a small country and simultaneous evolution happens all the time. Again, the only sin is 1:1 copies.
Good luck bringing up meantangerine tyler. Before you release the deluxe versions, read http://www.truthindesign.com/gray-cell.html .
Tanya, yeah, the top of the B is cut off. It's a stylistic thing born of the need to make the letterform as recognizable as possible while maintaining the 4 pixel height. I'll definately look further into your suggestion for the q.
Christian, thank you for your reply. Having a litte more text to read this time around gives me a much better idea of your overall message.
I realize that there are going to be many who disagree with me on many issues. All I can say is that the fonts I've used on TYC come from months of hard work and experimentation, as is evident from the body of work there, from the photography to the journalism. I have a love of storytelling, and the typefaces are just one element in that.
As my argument regarding Revelare, which part is bogus? Revelare IS selling its zooming metaphore as a navigation/content delivery solution. It's not bogus, it's real. It's also a valid interpretation of that to say that they recognize the beauty of that system as a navigation system rather than a singular instance of a page/site design.
It may not be the only interpretation, granted, but it surely is not a bogus one.
As for navigation systems being proprietary, can you tell me a few that are? I've never seen one. The Apple/Windows thing being one easy example.
As for the overall reaction of plagarism: oh well. As I said before, I've delayed the release of my fonts to some amount of peril ( as illustrated by your questioning my font Ram ) for the sake of going forward with a superior navigation system that not only has never been used as a commerce store, but doubles a pixel metaphor, while also zooming further and further into the world of the small, reinforcing the theme of pixel fonts.
I made my choice a year ago to put the site experience first and my "I wanna be a star designer/creative" second. That meant going with a system that reinforced the pixel font motif and was easy to use.
The pixel fonts I'm trying to market are the creatives, here. The site design is solely intended to show them in their best possible light. I believe this design does that. I've used the best possible design elements to present my product.
I think those principles apply to every commercial designer.
Even though this board isn't about my site design, I'll post a few graphics displaying MT as it is now. It's as unique as I could make it considering my budget constraints and time constraints.
The site recolors itself randomly ( from a predetermined list of color sets ) every visit, which explains the different graphics.
supernice. I know you have no time, but ...
- double the font size in zoom boxes. then you can read the level 2 text.
- relevare's idea is not perfect. change the idea a little. e.g. add a white depth gauge, or use nested circles. up 2 you.
- random recoloring shows control, but consistent section colors may be easier on the customer.
its usually the bottom that can go i.e. that ledgibilty test covering the tops and bottoms. We do need the tops moreso then the bottoms to guide the eye to the next letter...readability.
in any case be it a stylistic thing - perhaps it could be employed more often in other characters? right now it looks like a goof and could be taken as a screen error?
Chris, thanks for your input. I'm not releasing any deluxe versions initially. I'm having problems with them rendering in the published Flash environment. They work great in the authoring environment, but not where it counts.
My main objective is finishing the store application. You bring up a good idea about a depth gage. MT actually already employs a bit of this idea, and is one of the departures from Revelare's.
As you drill down, the site lessens in opacity until at great depths, the color approaches white. This is a subtle but effective psychological indication of depth. In fact, looking at the graphics, you'll notice that the squares with the greatest color saturation are the font specimen squares. This is where the greatest depths are reached. You see the relationship there.
As for implementing better thought-out features and overall posishing of the site, I definately have plans on the board to do just that. But for now, budgets demand I release the site with the assets I have right now.
Can I email you personally to discuss your "grey" pixel font technology?
Tanya, your observations are spot on in my opinion. However, to my chagrin, I've tried that letter b in about 37 different encarnations. It didn't look right to me with the bottom missing because then it looked too much like an A or R. However, I'll revisit that and see what else I can do.
Your point that it looks like a screen error is a good point indeed.
hi Tyler
authoring vs. published: I know that problem. photoshop also counts.
> until at great depths, the color approaches
> white. This is a subtle but effective
> psychological indication of depth
as an effect, I like it, except I'd go dark(=deep). Such a subtle analog-style drift seems not enough to convey the change. how about concentric borders?
> Can I email you personally
sure, please do.
> We do need the tops moreso then the bottoms
> to guide the eye to the next letter...
whoa ... I never thought of it this way, always assumed the baseline was king. yet the eye gets to the top first. hm.
has anybody seen eyetracking data (or images )for pixel type?
The only eyetracking data I have is that mine start to go blurry between the hours of 3 and 4 am. ;)
this original post was reposted after a formatting error appeared
yet another formatting error with this post .. posted again below .. my apologies to anyone getting emails
"The navigation metaphor is all I've used."
Apparently, maintaining this metaphor requires maintaining the type treatment, shapes, size and position relationships of zoomable content area, basic color treatment, and (a safe assumption i think) the exact behavior.
Here are some sites that have expressed a similar "metaphor" with original aesthetic ideas ...
I find it hard to believe that you posted those screenshots as a defense to your stance that you have not completely ripped the relevare site. Here is a screenshot of the Relevare site. I think the remarkable similarity is clear even with static images (no 'navigation metaphor').
Perhaps you should email your design to the good folks at relevare ( email@example.com ) and see what they think about it.
I've already tried to contact the good folks at Revelare, in an effort to purchase the metaphor in question. Several times. They haven't replied.
I makes me think that they're only interested in enterprise clients, but that's only my take on their unresponsiveness.
Those sites that you've linked to are beautiful. I wouldn't say that they use the metaphor in question though. You say they use a similar metaphor. That's a true statement. To say they use this metaphor with similar and therefore original designs is not a true statement.
They give up too much of the overall beauty of Revelare's metaphor. They're simply linear zooms. No grid. They give no idea as to how much content is on the site at a glance, nor where that info is in relation the everything else. They do not operate on a grid, and do not give the overall impression of different sized pixels, which is the whole pixel font reinforcement thing.
I like the idea of matte colors because they assist in the overall navigation feedback. This could be where I'm stumbling big-time. I've always taken the simplistic color treatment to be an integral part of Revelare's navigation metaphor. This due to the section ques they offer.
I could achieve the same thing I suppose by sticking more titles up there in each square, or putting icons in there, but that wouldn't be 1/10 as intuitive.
That's my whole take on the Revelare metaphor. Intuitiveness.
As for the size of the squares, not to worry. I'll be changing many things over time, as I can generate revenues to continue development on the site.
As it stands now, I'm pretty locked in to what's been developed thus far. Sure, I could change the squares to rectangles, I change the color of the font to black, and I could use a pixel font that is too wide to fit in the size of each square given the possibility that future titles will be longer than others, but all of that strikes me as a pretty weak stab at making it all unique.
I didn't change the color of the type because white looks the best. I didn't change the size of the squares because I don't have enough content yet to build the site on a smaller grid. As for the font treatment, it's my own pixel font.
Also, when you posted your graphic of Revelare, why didn't you take a shot of their entire site, showing how they present their content? As methodical you have been in presenting your proof that I'm a rip off artist, you have misrepresented your evidence.
So far, at least under the name jh, you've posted five times. All five have been to me, and none of those posts have been to offer critisism to my type, or anyone else's. I welcome your critical eye, but so far, despite the fact that you've seen at least five original fonts of mine ( between the TYC site and the fonts on this board ), you've only seen fit to call me bad because you've seen a link to a font that's similar to one of mine.
How about some of that critical eye going to the font I have up for review?
It's too small(period).
I find things like this completley UNusefull.
I've got some work I'll post a little later. I wasn't planning on developing this idea until the site went live and I could afford a more extensive development environment, but your argument has convinced me of one thing:
I doesn't matter what my take on Revelare's nav metaphor is. What matters is the target audience and how they interpret the brand/product.
The new design centers around the logo itself, something I hadn't even developed until recently, which is why my designs didn't aim in this direction from the start. A major tweak to the store application will delay the release of the site, which has been my main goal for some time.
Thanks for your arguments. I have to say that the exchange hasn't been the most pleasant one, but that's what the boards are all about. You've encouraged me commit to a higher level of design and that is a very good thing.
Okay, I've posted my next generation designs on a different, more appropriate board. These designs represent what I'd planned on building as soon as MT brought in a few revenues to fund the development.
However, I now see that it is critical to work out the details of the new look before going live.
Can you give the work a look jh, and hit me back?

Oil Drops Below $93 On Unemployment Claims Data
By The Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) â¿¿ Oil dropped again Thursday as an increase in the number of people seeking unemployment aid in the U.S. raised concerns about energy demand.
Benchmark oil for May delivery dropped $1.19 to finish at $93.26 a barrel. That makes a two-day drop of $3.93, or 4 percent. At one point crude dropped to $92.12 a barrel in Thursday trading.
The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits rose last week by 28,000, the third straight increase, according to the Labor Department. Weekly applications increased to a seasonally adjusted 385,000. That's the highest level since late November.
Applications are a proxy for layoffs, so any indication that fewer people are making the daily commute can be interpreted as a sign of lower demand for gasoline as well. Worries about slowing demand come on top of concerns about the burgeoning supply of oil in the U.S. On Wednesday, the Energy Department said crude oil inventories rose last week to the highest level since July 1990. Jim Ritterbusch, president of energy consultancy Ritterbusch and Associates, said in a daily newsletter that oil could get a short-term boost if Friday's unemployment report is better than expected. But he thinks that could give way to a new round of selling, with oil dropping to $89-$90, as the supply issue overhangs the market. Wholesale gasoline futures fell 2 cents to end at $2.90 a gallon and have dropped about 7 percent so far this week. Phil Flynn, senior market analyst at Price Futures Group, wrote in a daily report that he believes the lower futures prices will put American drivers "in much better shape as we head into this summer driving season." The average price for a gallon of gas is $3.64, according to AAA. That's 29 cents below a year ago, when gas peaked at $3.94 on April 6. AAA said this week that it expects the average price of gas this year to be below last year's $3.63 a gallon because of increased domestic production and continued low demand. Gas rose 34 cents in the first quarter of this year, compared with a jump of 65 cents in the first quarter of 2012.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

PAX2On this page:
Reviewed July 2008
What is the official name of the PAX2 gene?The official name of this gene is "paired box 2." PAX2 is the gene's official symbol. The PAX2 gene is also known by other names, listed below. Read more about gene names and symbols on the About page. What is the normal function of the PAX2 gene?The PAX2 gene belongs to a family of genes that plays a critical role in the formation of tissues and organs during embryonic development. The members of the PAX gene family are also important for maintaining the normal function of certain cells after birth. To carry out these roles, the PAX genes provide instructions for making proteins that attach to specific areas of DNA and help control the activity (expression) of particular genes. On the basis of this action, PAX proteins are called transcription factors. During embryonic development, the PAX2 gene provides instructions for producing a protein that is involved in the formation of the eye, ear, brain and spinal cord (central nervous system), kidney, and genital tract. After birth, the PAX2 protein is thought to protect against cell death during periods of cellular stress. Does the PAX2 gene share characteristics with other genes?The PAX2 gene belongs to a family of genes called homeobox (homeoboxes). It also belongs to a family of genes called PAX (paired boxes). A gene family is a group of genes that share important characteristics. Classifying individual genes into families helps researchers describe how genes are related to each other. For more information, see What are gene families? in the Handbook. How are changes in the PAX2 gene related to health conditions?
Where is the PAX2 gene located?Cytogenetic Location: 10q24 Molecular Location on chromosome 10: base pairs 100,745,710 to 100,829,940 The PAX2 gene is located on the long (q) arm of chromosome 10 at position 24. More precisely, the PAX2 gene is located from base pair 100,745,710 to base pair 100,829,940 on chromosome 10. See How do geneticists indicate the location of a gene? in the Handbook.

Debian's technical committee is back to having another vote on what should be the default init system for the operating system going forward.
For months now the Debian technical committee has been deciding
what init system to adopt for Debian Jessie and going forward
. The main contenders are between systemd and Upstart but other contenders and options have been proposed. This has been a very hot topic and for a while it's looked like
committee members have been leaning in favor of systemd
. Last month there was
an initial tech-ctte vote on the matter
but that vote didn't end up panning out
and the matter has remain undecided
Ian Jackson has now a short while ago
called for a new round of voting
on the init system discussion. Stay tuned to Phoronix to see how the voting concludes.

Young's double-double leads 76ers past Hawks 99-80
By The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA -- Jrue Holiday returned from a sprained foot and the 76ers returned to form.
No doubt, the steady point guard makes the Sixers go.
All they need now is a healthy Andrew Bynum - and the injured center vows he's on the way back.
Thaddeus Young had 18 points and 11 rebounds, and Evan Turner scored 21 points to help the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Atlanta Hawks 99-80 on Friday night.
Holiday had 11 points and seven assists after sitting out four games with a sprained left foot. With Holiday back running the offense, the Sixers led by as many as 22 points and snapped a season-worst five-game losing streak.
"I think you can see the difference that Jrue makes in our team," coach Doug Collins said. "He just gives us a settling presence. Offensively, things are smoother."
Jason Richardson scored 17 points and the Sixers held the Hawks to 39 percent shooting. That was a 6 percent dip off Atlanta's average.
"We can score when we need to," Holiday said. "But it's just locking up our defense. We tried to take guys out of the game and we succeeded."
The Sixers learned before the game that Bynum, their 7-foot center, had been cleared to start a six-step rehabilitation process. There is still no timetable for when he can return to play from bone bruises in his knees. Bynum said he was confident he would play this season.
Expected to contend in the East with Bynum, the Sixers are under .500 (13-14) and clearly need their rested and recovered big man to make a run in the playoffs.
Josh Smith led the Hawks with 17 points and Lou Williams scored 13.
Williams averaged 11.3 points during seven years with the Sixers and led the team in scoring last season with 14.9 points a game.
His signature moment came in Game 4 of a first-round playoff series in 2011 against Miami when he helped the Sixers avert a sweep with a go-ahead 3-pointer from the top of the arc over a lunging Dwyane Wade with 8.1 seconds left that lifted Philadelphia to an 86-82 win.
When the Sixers decided to clean house and make the move to get Bynum from the Los Angeles Lakers, Williams, Elton Brand and Andre Iguodala all went elsewhere.
The Sixers were cruising until the third quarter when Williams showed that quick scoring punch off the bench that made him so valuable for them. He hit two straight 3-pointers, then sank two free throws to pull the Hawks within eight after they were down by 16.
With no other scoring options for the Hawks on this night, Atlanta's run didn't last long. The Sixers stormed back in the fourth, and consecutive 3-pointers by Spencer Hawes and Richardson pushed the lead back to 20. Hawes had 12 points and eight rebounds.
Williams stuck around after the game and posed near the stands for pictures with friends and family. He made his NBA name in Philadelphia, but the former Georgia high school star was happy at home.
"If I wasn't going to be here, I wanted to be there," Williams said. "I landed on my feet."
Williams stuck it to his former team on a sweet steal-turned-fast-break-layup in the first half. He was fouled on the play and yelled "Game Time!" to fans in the front row. He converted the three-point play.
But outside of his short burst in the third, Williams was kept in check. He playfully jawed with Turner most of the game - though the familiar "Looouuu!" call at the Wells Fargo Center lost the L and sounded more like boos.
"We miss Lou, dearly," Collins said.
The 76ers also miss Bynum, though the All-Star has yet to even practice with the Sixers. Bynum said his right knee feels fine and there's still some pain in his left knee. An exam on Thursday showed Bynum's weakened cartilage hasn't gotten worse and the potential of surgery is off the table.
Bynum vowed to return, he just didn't know when.
"I really don't know. It's just that I know I will be back," he said. "It's not a career-ending situation."
The Sixers shot 51 percent from the floor, including a solid 42 percent (8 of 19) from the 3-point line, to make up for a 3-of-7 effort from the free throw line.
"I felt like with Jrue back, we're a different team," Turner said.
Notes: The Sixers sent rookie F Arnett Moultrie to their NBA Development League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce. Moultrie, a first-round pick by Miami sent to the Sixers in a draft-night trade, played in 11 games and averaged 1.3 points. Collins said Moultrie has to get in shape. ... The Sixers fell a point shy of sending their fans home with free fast food. Fans booed the Sixers as they refused to shoot on their final possession. Collins then decided to buy the fans burgers. ... The Sixers tied a season high with 31 assists. ... The Hawks have lost six straight to the 76ers.

It's not too common that a triple threat (a singer, songwriter and producer) emerges on the music scene, but Adrian, an up-and-coming R&B crooner from the state of Washington, proves he's a potential force to be reckoned with. The dynamically talented musician served as the writer and producer of several (if not all) the songs on his forthcoming debut album, State of the Art. On his new single Temptation, the 24-year-old Asylum Records signee sings of his struggle with resisting the seduction from a beautiful lady in the club (obviously not his girlfriend). It's a familiar topic, but Adrian, with his strong vocals over a slightly upbeat tempo, gives it a fresh feel.

Feb 12, 2011Angry Mob has created one of the best dual-stick shooters for the iPhone and I can only hope they make a sequel and its bigger and better than this. But until then Guerrilla Bob is a fantastic shooter with solid controls and loads of fun.
Feb 12, 2011A short, but intense experience. You could compare it with a Summer blockbuster like Transformers or Terminator, not exactly mentally stimulating, but a fun blast none the less. If you are looking for trigger happy thrills, then Bob's your man!
Feb 12, 2011Guerrilla Bob has a winning ticket with fun levels, firecracker action, and snazzy graphics that could go even further delivering variety and depth.
Feb 12, 2011The graphics are stunning, the concept is fresh, and the controls are tried and true.
Mar 20, 2011Guerrilla Bob is a non-stop gun-slinging assault on the senses. If it didn't play so competently, the game might come off as brash or annoying, but, it doesn't, and comes out smelling of roses.
Feb 12, 2011Guerrilla Bob is a fun twin-stick shooter. It offers some of the best controls in the genre. However, I wish developer Angry Mob Games had added more stages with greater variety and introduced some sort of system that made getting new weapons a real reward.
Feb 12, 2011The game is short on lasting appeal, and leans too heavily on MiniGore, but is nonetheless worth a look. A dual-stick stick shooter for casual gamers, Guerilla Bob is best taken in short spurts over time. Hardcore players tending to devour games in one or two sittings will quickly tear through the game and leave it in their dust.

Comments about Imaginets:
My 4-year-old loves using this toy and feels a sense of accomplishment when he is able to complete a design. It is also a nice toy to work with them together on as a younger child may need a bit of help. This toy is very good for getting their brains to think in a different way. It's also self-contained and very easy to transport and store. A really great toy.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Eli Lilly and Company and Strides Arcolab Limited today announced a collaboration to expand delivery of cancer medicines in the emerging markets.
As a part of this arrangement, Lilly will in-license a portfolio of high-quality, branded generic injectable and oral cancer medicines from Agila Specialties, the specialties division of Strides Arcolab, based in Bangalore, India.
Agila Specialties will manufacture the cancer medicines, and Lilly will register and market these medications in multiple geographies across the emerging markets. In addition to the initial 10 medicines included as part of the agreement, Lilly has the right to add additional high-quality branded generic oncology products to the portfolio in the future.
"Cancer medicines of the highest quality continue to be an unmet need in many markets around the world. Building on our recent investment in a Lilly-branded generics platform in China earlier this year, this agreement will help Lilly expand its portfolio and deliver high-quality cancer medicines to patients across emerging markets." said Jacques Tapiero, Lilly Senior Vice President and President of its emerging markets division.

IIFL Institutional Equities, a part of the IIFL Group, one of the leading players in the Indian financial services space, recommends "Buy" Wockhardt.
According to IIFL Institutional Equities report, we believe that Wockhardt's low-competition products in the US should continue to deliver until those in the pipeline are ready to take over. The domestic business should start delivering mid-teen growth and the European operations will no longer be a major drag on profitability.
Over the last two years, the company has paid back all of its FCCB liabilities, settled its forex derivative liabilities at a significant discount, and set the clear terms for repayment to domestic lenders. The period of crisis helped the company cut costs, focus on core operations, and emerge leaner and stronger.
Despite the recent run up, Wockhardt trades at 30-40% discount to its large-cap pharma peers; we expect sustained performance to reduce this discount gradually. We initiate coverage with BUY rating and target price of Rs2157, the brokerage added.
The report was published by IIFL's Institutional Equities Research desk.
Top health concerns of aging can be helped by Soy Protein: Survey
Maintaining heart health and a healthy weight are among the top ranked concerns of active, aging consumers in India. A recent survey conducted by Solae shows that among adults aged 35-65, heart health and maintaining an active lifestyle are their top concerns, followed by having a strong immune system and maintaining a healthy weight.
While a variety of conditions can affect adults as they age, the three main causes of death are heart disease, cancer and stroke. Solae's survey showed that 87 percent of adults in India were concerned about heart health and 84 percent listed weight maintenance as a top concern. Older consumers (50-65) and males were more likely to rate "healthy heart" as one of their top three concerns. Females were more likely to rate "maintaining a healthy weight" as one of their top three concerns. The survey also showed that the primary motivator for exercising is maintaining health rather than appearance.
"When you look at the listing of top ranking health concerns, it's clear that soy protein can be a beneficial addition to the diet of someone in this age group", said Ratna Mukherjea, PhD, nutrition group lead at Solae. "Protein can help preserve lean muscle mass and manage weight by promoting satiety." Read more…

Gartner, Inc. has released the fourth annual Healthcare Supply Chain Top 25. The research focusses on the healthcare value chain's pursuit of high-quality patient care at optimal economic cost. The Top 25 for 2012 ranking identifies organizations leading the way in transforming their supply chains to meet the new value requirements in healthcare — patient outcomes and quality, and service and cost improvements.
"The Fourth Annual Healthcare Supply Chain Top 25 ranking features organizations in the midst of transformations that will fundamentally alter the business practices of the past," said Barry Blake, senior research analyst at Gartner. "Now that the U.S. 2012 election cycle is over, organizations have greater clarity on one important element responsible for this uncertainty — the U.S. healthcare reform landscape. All segments of this value chain understand that reform is now moving to implementation, and the good news is that most organizations on our ranking anticipated and prepared for an era of accountability in healthcare."

Venus Remedies Limited, an Indian multinational research based progressive pharma company announced that it has received approval from Drugs Controller General, India (DCGI) to conduct Phase-III Clinical Trials of its cancer detection NCE (New Chemical Entity). After thorough screening by IND committee for the investigational New Chemical Entity VRP1620, DCGI has found Clinical Phase-I and Phase II data satisfactory and thus granted permission to conduct Phase-III Clinical Trials on the molecule. The molecule is for early cancer detection and this leap towards successful Phase III will make Venus pioneers among the companies working and providing innovative solution for cancer detection.
Dr Manu Chaudhary, Director Research, Venus Medicine Research Centre (VMRC) said, "This NCE is based on selective tumor targeting because tumor-infiltrating blood vessels deviate morphologically and biochemically from normal vessels. VRP1620 specifically increases tumor blood flow and this property has been utilized to promote delivery of cancer detection contrast media to the site of tumors via blood stream.'' It is a targeted delivery of diagnostic agent which enhances image quality to several 100 times, thus making it clearly differentiated. She further added that we can also differentiate between benign and malignant tumor because of its property to enhance image quality and very small sized tumors can also be traced. As of now, there is no such technology for early detection of small sized solid tumor available in the market across the globe and secondly, VRP1620 will help us in staging of tumors. Our technology omits false negatives. Read more…

With an increasing population falling prey to it, degenerative diseases, mostly neurological, stands as one of the biggest health threats in India. Experts in the city have stressed on the need for more neurologists in India to attend to the increasing needs of patients suffering from neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, Alzheimer's and dementia.
One of the premier medical journals in the country, 'Journal of Association of Physicians of India' (JAPI) stated earlier this year that there are only approximately 1,100 qualified clinical neurologists working in India.
Doctors say that frequent screening with the use of technology such as CT scan and MRI scans is making it possible to detect and diagnose these conditions early.
"There has been a steady increase in the number of neurological diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis in recent times. The numbers are rising apparently due to increased awareness or increased availability of imaging facilities such as MRI scans," said Dr Arun Shah, consultant, neurologist, Breach Candy Hospital, Mumbai.

Fitch Ratings forecasts low single-digit growth for most companies in the U.S. healthcare sector in 2013, despite a dynamic operating environment.
Fitch's overall credit outlook for the U.S. healthcare 2013 is stable. This encompasses issuers in the branded and generic pharmaceutical manufacturer, diagnostic and life science, healthcare provider, medical device, and healthcare services segments of the U.S. healthcare industry.
Factors supporting growth generally across the industry include the aging population and higher rates of chronic disease, growing demand in emerging markets and new product launches. These positive trends are tempered by weaker economic conditions in developed markets and the U.S. fiscal cliff, which could result in lower payments to the industry.
There will be significantly better visibility on the effects of the Affordable Care Act by mid-2013. While Fitch views the ACA as a positive driver on the industry's operating outlook in 2014, the magnitude of its effect will depend on many current unknowns. Read more…
Baxter International Inc. has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Gambro AB, a privately held dialysis product company based in Lund, Sweden, for total consideration of 26.5bn SEK (approximately $4.0bn USD at current exchange rates). Gambro is a global medical technology company focused on developing, manufacturing and supplying dialysis products and therapies for patients with acute or chronic kidney disease. The acquisition gives Baxter a comprehensive dialysis product portfolio, complements Baxter's global home dialysis offerings, and positions the company to better meet the evolving needs of the large and growing dialysis market.
"Baxter has a legacy of innovation in dialysis, including the development of peritoneal dialysis for the treatment of end-stage kidney disease patients in the home. This acquisition further strengthens our global dialysis offerings by extending our portfolio in the hemodialysis segment," said Robert L.

In honor of World AIDS Day, Dec. 1, 2013, Mattel Inc. and the Mattel Children's Foundation today announced the creation of the Joseph A. Cristina HIV/AIDS Children's Fund, with the purpose of making a difference in the lives of children affected by HIV/AIDS in the U.S. by helping to meet their diverse needs, educating and advocating on their behalf, and bringing joy and fun into their lives. The fund, which will be exclusively endowed by the Mattel Children's Foundation and managed by the California Community Foundation, will grant funds to non-profit organizations which support the needs of children affected by HIV/AIDS in the U.S.
More than 15 years ago, former Mattel executive Joe Cristina turned the personal tragedy of an HIV-positive diagnosis into an opportunity to make a difference by founding the Children Affected by AIDS Foundation (CAAF). Through his vision and leadership, CAAF raised $40 million since its inception dedicated to impacting children affected by HIV/AIDS through support of nonprofit organizations providing social, educational, recreational and other programs addressing the critical needs of these children. To hear Joe tell his story, click the following link: http://bit.ly/Skxcy1.
Mattel, the Mattel Children's Foundation and Mattel employees have been there every step of the way with continued and multi-faceted support. In June 2012, CAAF joined forces with fellow nonprofit Keep a Child Alive (KCA) in order to better serve children affected by HIV/AIDS in regions of the world where the greatest need exists.

Why Smith Micro Software (SMSI) Stock Is Falling Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Smith Micro Software
(SMSI - Get Report) are down -18.40% to 87 cents in midday trading today.
The tech company issued a statement in which said it is not involved in developing a future smartphone with Amazon
Smith Micro Software also said it is not aware of any material undisclosed developments that would account for the unusual trading activity in the company's stock.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite Growth Stocks
Following the market rumors, shares had soared about 36% yesterday, on speculation it was developing 3D technology for the device.
Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates SMITH MICRO SOFTWARE INC as a Sell with a ratings score of D-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate SMITH MICRO SOFTWARE INC (SMSI) a SELL. This is driven by some concerns, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its disappointing return on equity and generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Software industry and the overall market, SMITH MICRO SOFTWARE INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- SMSI's stock share price has done very poorly compared to where it was a year ago: Despite any rallies, the net result is that it is down by 38.17%, which is also worse that the performance of the S&P 500 Index. Investors have so far failed to pay much attention to the earnings improvements the company has managed to achieve over the last quarter. Naturally, the overall market trend is bound to be a significant factor. However, in one sense, the stock's sharp decline last year is a positive for future investors, making it cheaper (in proportion to its earnings over the past year) than most other stocks in its industry. But due to other concerns, we feel the stock is still not a good buy right now.
- The revenue fell significantly faster than the industry average of 7.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues fell by 27.2%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company's bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.
- The gross profit margin for SMITH MICRO SOFTWARE INC is currently very high, coming in at 71.36%. Despite the high profit margin, it has decreased significantly from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, SMSI's net profit margin of -61.15% significantly underperformed when compared to the industry average.
- SMITH MICRO SOFTWARE INC has improved earnings per share by 17.6% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, SMITH MICRO SOFTWARE INC reported poor results of -$0.75 versus -$0.71 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings (-$0.12 versus -$0.75).

Olay Total Effects Review
Olay Total Effects Moisturizer promises visibly younger looking skin. I'm aging (slowly, slowly I tell you!), so I decided to try it out and see what it could do for me. Olay Total Effects promises 7 anti-aging therapies in one product. It claims to provide the total anti-aging power of a moisturizer fused with vitamins and anti-oxidants. It's color and fragrance-free. I was happy to see the words 'dermatologically tested and non-comedogenic' (which means it [...]

Looking in my bathroom vanity, I realized that I have tons of hair products. Everything from anti-frizz solution to shine serum is in there. I got to wondering – is everyone as confused as I am about hair products?

This programme is the first to be launched under Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering (SIE). SIE is multi-disciplinary as it synthesizes the essence of several fundamental engineering disciplines. Students will go through a vigorous academic training provided by highly qualified professors while immersing themselves in the land transport industry through work stints with established organisations such as LTA, SMRT, SBS, Keppel Group and Singapore Technologies.
One major highlight will be the Integrated Work Study Programme (IWSP), in which students will be involved in day-to-day operations and confront challenges just like an employee of the host organisation.
Students will also have the option to undertake Non-Destructive Testing Level II or III (NDT) certification, (ISO 9712, in collaboration with the Non-Destructive Testing Society of Singapore) so as to enhance their industry-readiness.
The SIE programme aims to groom students to be both practice-oriented and industry ready. Throughout the course of the programme, students will be given the opportunity to take modules such as Total Preventive Maintenance and focus on Railway Engineering, which is not offered by other local undergraduate programmes. Furthermore, the one-year Integrated Work-Study Programme (IWSP) will help to bridge the gap between academic training and industrial needs.
Students will also take on a Capstone project formulated on actual working experience during the IWSP. This project may focus on improvement to work processes in the company or design of parts and components that add value to the company. In addition, our unique curriculum design allows students to achieve the professional Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Level II or III certification
Students who perform well in the BEng (Hons) Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering programme may proceed to take the Masters of Engineering Technology degree, provided they meet the necessary requirements.
Accreditation of the programme will be sought with the Engineering Accreditation Board.
Career Opportunities
The SIE's unique programme and curriculum have been crafted with support from various organisations within the land transport industry such as LTA, SMRT, SBS, Singapore Technologies, Keppel Group and Sembcorp Industries. Students will therefore gain the necessary knowledge and skills for an enriching career in the industry.
The programme will be conducted in 3 trimesters per academic year (≈ 4 months per trimester).
To be awarded BEng (Hons) Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering (Land), students are required to complete 6 trimesters of study and a minimum of 2 trimesters of Integrated Work Study Programme (IWSP).
To be awarded Master of Engineering Technology, students are required to complete 8 trimesters of study and a minimum of 2 trimesters of Integrated Work Study Programme (IWSP).

Write a ReviewBeautiful well built lamp
By Jane T. from Key Biscayne, FL on Aug 16, 2013
The lamp is sturdy and very attractive. It is tall enough so that the light comes over my shoulder when reading in bed. There are two levels of light to choose from. And the lamps look beautiful beside our bed.

Well, so far this year, I'm zip for three on stillwaters. 1 for trout, 2 for warmwater. If I don't catch anything today I'm tossing all my gear in the lake and taking up golf. We use small pontoon boats, Super Cats, for the majority of our stillwater excursions. What a difference it makes when it comes to gathering all the crap required for stillwaters vs rivers. When river fishing, I'd grab my gear bag and my rod and would be out the door. Not so for stillwaters. The pontoon boat. The flippers. The onboard cooler. The fish/depth finder. The camera. ... lots of crap and some of it is heavy. So, win, lose or draw, I'll make a report. I could end up asking what the best golf clubs I should buy.
I got rid of all my still water floating junk. Sold my floating craft, my flippers, life jacket, pump and anchor. Most places that are still water you can fish from shore. Besides all lakes in my area sit at about 8000'. They are iced over until July. I wouldn't go out in these reservoirs in a float tube anyhow, to damn big.
Gene, sorry to hear that you aren't at the relationship stage where the conversation is "Gene, go fishing or something, just get the hell out of here, will you?". Makes life easier. Of course, there was the honeymoon phase of "Oh, sure, sweetie, I think you need to get that new kick boat and fly rod for fishing that little lake you love some much. I think we can afford it." Good luck, looking forward to the report.
I fished yesterday morning for about an hour. Urban river fishing while my team had breakfast. I like brown trout and hoe much they help out the unskilled with their streamer feeding aggressions. Good luck Gene. Golf sucks!
Well I hope it doesn't come to that but if it does let me know what lake I can swim pretty good and have a snorkel.
Gene, next to badminton I would rate golf as the least manly of all sports. Yet thousands of guys are out knocking a little ball around the pasture with a little stick-and taking it seriously! I envision golf as a game played by Victorian ladies in long dresses carrying a picnic basket containing sandwiches with the crust cut off and a bottle of wine. They sip and giggle and occasionally inch their ball to a better lie under the cover of those long dresses. Besides, you'll need to get your hair styled at Mr Rickys, have your nails done, buy just the right wardrobe and show up in a the proper Suv or luxury car. Then there are the greens fees that make Discover Passes look like chump change and buying clubs is like buying a quiver full of Sage One rods. Don't get rid of that tackle just yet just because you are a little frustrated. You don't know what frustration is until you try to knock an acorn into a gopher hole that is 150 yards away. Hook some fish my man-heal thyself! Ive
The fault is all yours, sir. How many times do I have to tell you SOFT HACKLE FLIES. PARTRIDGE AND ORANGE. PARTRIDGE AND PEACOCK. It is the Holy grail of stillwater..... Except for the OLIVE BUGGER.
GAT.. I've been on this forum for about six months and read all your posts and you seem very experienced. The fact that you are having trouble makes me feel better about myself. I just started fishing Stillwater recently and am embarrassingly bad. I try to use all the wisdom on this site but to no avail........Thanks
Hey man, we all have to start somewhere. Some, like myself are still starting. Good luck and stick with it. It will pay off.
Playing golf is just about as bad as watching grass grow or paint dry. Neither one is interesting. And you can't eat Golf Balls.
Hey thanks man. The challenge of it all makes it more interesting...But catching fish is nice to do sometimes. Looking forward to catching some fish on chironomids .. Got the logistics of it down just haven't dialed in to the fish yet.
Oooooookaaaaaaaaay.... NOW we're talk'n! Had a great day fishing... caughts lot's of trout... fun had by all. End of report.
Now you don't expect a long-winded guy like me to post such a short report, now did ya? Destination: Planted fishery at Olalla Lake in Oregon. As per usual, stopped for breakfast and it was a good one. Turns out, that wasn't the highlight of the day. We were on the lake by 9:30 or so. I was keen to try one of my experimental patterns so I tied it on. Within minutes I had a trout. Then another. Then another. By this time, Rocky and John finally were on the lake. John is using our ol' standard for lakes that I mentioned in the Fly Tying Forum: A variegated black and olive WB with a gold bead head. He starts catching fish. I'm catching trout. John is catching trout. Rocky is starting to bitch because he hasn't had a bite. This goes on for awhile and finally Rock accepts one of John's WBs and starts hooking up. It started out cloudy and kind'a coolish but the cloud cover broke and it ended up a beautiful day. During the course of the day, John and Rock used the variegated olive and black WB and I was successful with two different experimental patterns that just happen to also include the colors olive and black (see below). A fly club had an outing on the lake but the three of us (my oldest fishing buddies and the ones I started flyfishing with when I was a newbie) and we were the only ones catching trout at a constant rate. I gave two of the guys one pattern each of what was working and they also started catching trout. Now for the photos: You've read about these guys in many of my posts. When I first started fishing with them we were all much slimmer and didn't have any grey hair... times have changed. John and Rock, screwing around with their flies. Once Rocky started catching trout, he was on a roll. I wanted some action shots and he happened to be the guy within range: A blue heron lives at the lake and when an angler catches a fish, it swoops down and tries to steal the trout. This happened while Rock was landing a fish: I was using a full fast sinking line with a 15 foot f-carbon leader and tippet. John and Rock were using clear intermediate sinking lines. These are the patterns that were working the best. The one working like magic for me was a WB tied with a variegated olive and black body with an olive tail and olive hackle . Just for the heck of it, I tried an experimental soft hackle (I got the idea from a post in the Fly Tying Forum). The body is olive, the hackle is black and the bead head is black. It also worked when stripped fast. The three of us haven't fished together for a long time so it was a wonderful trip and just like the ol' days. We harassed each other, made jokes and in general, acted the fools... just like we always have. It was a blast. Well all caught a ton-o-trout and the weather was great. It was a good day. A very good day. Guess I won't be taking up golf afterall.
