New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Simplease is a User Experience Company located in Austria. To support the meaning of the name I decided that the simplicity and geometry of Futura might do a good job. For this design I slightly adjusted it (especially the 's'). In general I changed the x-height as well as the bowls.
I would really appreciate your critiques on this first iteration of the logo. What do you think of the adjusted Futura? Did I get the kerning right? Anything else?

A pair of points my tired eyes have nticed are: something didn't quite work in the meeting beetween S and i.
You would want to review the spacing of ea and se.
the l seems a bit crowded to me, but overall, it looks nice enough.
[edit] also maybe open up the ea a couple ticks.
For some reason "ease" looks fractionally shorter (in height) than "imp". Also, what Ed said regarding e-a kerning.
Agree on opening up the e-a kerning. Also to my eye the capital S looks less bold than the rest of the mark. (could also mean I need my morning dosis of caffeine)
Thanks a lot for your feedback. Regarding to your input I've reworked the capital S and opened the e-a kerning. I attach a screenshot from FontLab so you can have a closer look at the x-height. As epsilicon said "ease" looks a bit shorter than "imp". I think it's because the shoulders of "mp" and "ease" are too close to the x-height. Maybe making them a bit higher will help. I will try that later today.
I also have to show you an older version because people tend to like it more. The font I've used was Helvetica Inserat Oblique. I agree that it looks nice but I'm not sure it communicates the right message (it reminds me of washing powder).
Which one would you prefer having in mind it should be company-logo?
Thank you again for your comments and I am really looking forward to reading more from you.
Regarding to what epsilicon said about the optical difference in height between "imp" and "ease" I heightened the shoulders so they share the same line like the right finish of the capital S. To my great delight this caused a huge improvement on the overall appereance. Thank you very much for sharing this observation.
ps: I'm still not sure about the capital S. As you might see it slightly changed from version to version. Any suggestions? Is it bold enough in this version?
I'm not digging the knocked out version at all. Over designed imo
What do you think of the customized 's'? I've worked on it for hours now and can't tell anymore either it fits or it does not fit into the overall appearance. As you can see It's the child of Univers 55, Helvetica Bold and Futura Bold. Since I'm not digging the Futura-'s'at all I decided to stay with more organic Grotesques which should on one side not destroy the geometry built by the rest of the word and on the other side not look like it's a byproduct of the other letters. That's very important because since the word starts with a capital 'S' this letter becomes the most important one and should not look like the gestalt of it is forced to the restrictions of the other letters. What do you think of it?
btw: I think the capital 'S' needs some refinement but I'll go for that later on.
I think the s is working. I'm not a type designer, but it looks like you did a nice job of fusing the three styles. One thing I am noticing, and maybe it's just me, is that the "p" and "a" stand out because they seem to have more negative space than the other letters.
Or actually, maybe the e's have too little negative space. The strokes seem to stay thick all around. I wonder what it would look like if there was a bit more stroke weight variance within the e.
Agree with Ed. Something had been bothering me for some time, but couldn't put my finger on it. Fix one or the other problem.
You hit the Bull's Eye Ed-Aranda. Thank you very much for this comment it helped me a lot. What do you guys think of it now?
I'm starting to see the issues with Futura's lower case a. You should check out this thread, by Randy Jones. I don't really like his a's, but I'd love to see a better solution than Renner's.
My intention was to give it a simple and clean look and I thought that futura (especially because of the a) would work for me. Actually I think it does. But since simplicity is not everything, I wanted it to look more like Helvetica or Univers. That's why I changed the s. This was intented to make it look more organic and I think that this is the core issue. In my opinion Renner's a works perfectly for Futura (as well as the 's' does. Especially because of what he wanted to achieve. It wasn't the main target to make it look perfectly but to create it from simple geometrical shapes.) But regarding to what I want to achieve I have to agree to your comment.
Thank you a lot for you input as well as for the link you've provided to me. I will take a closer look at it as soon as I find the time.
Going with a minimalistic one story 'a' is no bad decision, I just think Futura's 'a' could need some more attention where the bowl meets the stem.
Regarding to what Frode Frank has suggested and what I've read in the linked forum topic I made some changes to my 'a'.
The increased x-height gives me the possibilty to have a more oval bowl which decreases the slight awkwardness of the overall shape like in Futura BQ Bold. In my opinion it doesn't look as forced to geometry as in the original typeface tough it still communicates simplicity. Unlike the original stem of the 'a' mine is slightly floating to the right and the bowl doesn't visually cut it anymore.
What do you think about it? Are there any suggestions?
Is this what you were talking about, Frode Frank?
I'd like to thank you again for all your valuable comments and I'm really looking forward to reading more of your very constructive feedback. This is great :)
Yes! It looks great. Good work!
It's beautiful and the tweaks have gone a long way. Am I still getting a Volkswagen vibe?? Maybe a different color will help it not feel like a car leasing program from VW. Or perhaps you're still in hicon phase? In any event, you have done some lovely letterwork.
Thank you a lot for your comments. I will try to show it in context as soon as possible but right now I'm feeling unhappy about my 's'. There's still some need for refinement.
I just took a closer look at the Volkswagen Logo and think that there's enough distinction since it's in Futura Medium and with more space in between the letters. But you're right I'm still in hicon phase (if this means at an early stage) and not sure about color at this time. The only problem I can already see is that I'm really coward when it comes to the usage of colors but I'm sure you will help me through this promblems as soon as the occur. :)
Thank you again. I really appreciate your feedback a lot.
Since I wasn't very comfortable with the current version of my 's' I took some time to refine it. Basically I wanted it to be more shaped like a pyramid -> wider at the bottom and becoming more slender at the top. Furthermore I made the spine a bit bolder because the old 's' seemed to become thiner and thiner the closer it comes to the center of the spine.
I also made some quite subtle changes to 'm' and 'e'. What do you think about the current version?
Since the forum displays the images a bit bigger then they actually are you can click them to see them in their original size and with out this disturbing artifacts.
That's it for today. My eyes are tired and my kerning changes from minute to minute and so I'll leave it up to you.
I'd let the counter cut into the stems of 'p' and 'a' a bit. I think Futura does that not (only) because of a penchant for circles, but also because optically without it the stem looks too thick, as I think yours might (very slightly).
Nice progress on this one.
I think your new "s" looks great in isolation, but seeing the entire word I wonder if it doesn't look a bit diminutive and squashed, especially between the rather heavy/wide "a" and "e". I'd maybe try making it slightly wider.
Agree with Craig that the "a" and "p" seem slightly too heavy. The "ease" part of course is tricky because you've got the rather, uh, straightforward "a" to balance with all that crowded stuff, darkness-wise. I hope you're doing a lot of squinting :-)
p-l-e is kerned a bit tighter than the rest. Also agree with altaira regarding the lowercase s, it does look a bit foreign in the context.
ahhh ... thank you so much for your critiques. That's awesome :)
eliason: I was thinking about letting the counter cut into the stems but then decided to leave it the way it is since two typophiles seemed to like it. But as soon as I've read your comment the bold stems jumped into my eyes. Thank you for this.
altaira: Maybe that's the key! I was really getting my hands dirty on 'ease' and I just wasn't able to balance it. The current version has appropriate distances between the letters but it's the balance between white and black that doesn't feel right at the moment. Making a slightly heavier 's' might help me with this. Thank you for sharing your observation. And squinting is key :)
epsilicon: Good to know ... I wasn't able to tell anymore whether it's too tight or not. Thank you.
Though it's still a little dirty concerning it's execution I think it goes into the right direction. I'd like to thank you again :)
What are you thinking about it now?
Regarding to the latest comments I've spent the last day working on the "s". Unfortunately I'm still having problems with the capital version. Nevertheless I would love to hear what you think about the new "s". After hours of tweaking I can't judge it anymore :)
As you can see the new "s" is based on the "e" to ensure it's wide enough to combat with it's neighbours. I will start mastering the "S" as soon as it's child has passed your evaluation. I'm thanking you in anticipation.
This is an oddly enjoyable thread, I'm really considering continuing with nitpicks just to keep it going :)
It is a wonderful thread. It's also becoming an instance of staring into the scary abyss that is type design – the longer I stare at that "s", the less I know if it's good. Now I'm worried about giving bad advice, so I'll be watching from behind my rock. :)
I am working on this eight letters for about one week now spending more or less the whole day on it. The only thing I'm absolutely sure about is the "l" :)
I keep reading it as 'sim please'. If it's supposed to be pronounced 'simple ease' then perhaps it needs something visual to assist with that.
Actually it is supposed to be pronounced as "sim-please" though it contains of "simple" and "please" and the "ease" is just a bonus for those who know that this is part of "ease of use" which perfectly suits usability and user experience. The most important message is "simple please" which can be seen as what the customers demand. They want simple products. The please also indicates that the products are actually services. All those deliberations are more or less subliminal and we want "simplease" to be read as one unique word that's easy to write, read and pronouce and of course easy to remember.
btw. what do you think of the concept? The renaming was the first step of our rebranding and we decided to go this way because both words "simple" and "please" are basic english and people here in Austria are quite familiar with them. We've tested it and all the probands were able to spot "simple" and "please". The previous name was "simplicious" which isn't only hard to spell (for non native-speakers) but also not understandable for those who don't know words like delicious or precious (...and there are a lot of them in Austria :) ). Though I think that phonetically "simplicious" sounds more like a typical company-name the sound of "simplease" is more unique and as a result more recognizeable.
i prefer the name Simplicious. The continuity of letters is more appealing and it sounds sexier.
It sounds like a actual word already being used in the American English language. It's what you say when something is simply delicious.
Now regarding Simplease, I too pronounce sim please.
The letter forms look nice, but the two letters that aren't fitting, to me, are the capital S and the a.
The S appears slightly heavier and more narrow than it should. The letter a appears a bit heavier, it looks like the weight is in the thickness of the letterform.
This logotype will definitely have longevity. Nice work.
Simplease is a very good name considering the description you gave in the first post. It is distinct and it is easy to remember. I think it is a good choice.
Simplicious on the other hand has an in-your-face reference to delicious.com, so lots of online people would assume it's a clone or a relative of latter. I doubt you want that.
I will split the next posting into two separate parts. The first one is regarding the logotype-evolution and the second one is regarding the company-name. In case you are not interested in one of them it might be easier for you to only grab the information you want.
Due to your previous comments and some observations I've made on my own I decided to put more effort into the details.
a) Letter-Tweaking
b) Gray scale value
Basically I slightly put more space in between the "S-i-m-p" plus the tiniest little space between "p-l-e" to balance it with the cirtical letter-combination "e-a". I think it is an improvement though I'm not sure it's already perfect.
What do you think about it? Any kind of feedback is appreciated.
Simplicious: Simply good, simply delectable, simply delicious. Like salt, use it sparingly to add a twinge of spice and sophistication to any conversation. (Urban Dictonary)
At first we were boosted by this definition and thought that it will perfectly suit our needs. But after a few months I realized that it has a strong connotation to cooking. This was the start of a renaming process that last for about 3 months and funnily ended with "Simplease" which is very close to the old name though we came up with about 6-8 potential candidates which did not include the "simple".
@marcdavid: I totally agree on what you said about the sounding of "simplicious" but we decided that "Simplease" beats it in any other competition.
The biggest problem with "simplicious" is that it becomes kind of an oximoron when people don't understand the "icious". They will read "simple and something complicated". The different versions of how probands have pronounced it were really funny (german-speakers can imagine what I mean). Furthermore "simplicious" contains two words with two absolutely different meanings and we wanted to send only one message. Though we know it's only superstition that "simplifying" is a proper tool for designing the user experience we know that it's exactly what our customers are asking for. They want simple products delivered in a simple (comfortable) way. We also decided that when anyone googles "Usability" or "User Experience companies" the one which contains simplicity will easily be recognized as such a company.
For everyone who's interested -> We have about 60 pages of documentation about the whole process containing all the reasons and all the attributes on which we judged some of the candidates. Unfortunately it's all in german.
@epsilicon: Thank you for your comment about it's reference to "delicious" -> you're right, that's not something desireable :). As a result of this "simplicious" is too "in your face" and to strongly connected to a Web-Company which we defintiley don't want to be.
To summarize the process: "Simplease" has a clear message which is understandable for the main target group. By designing a typographic logo we want to communicate this message. Do you think it works?
I would like to thank all of you for everything you've mentioned so far. It was a big help and the current version is the result of all your observations. Thank you for sharing your knowledge :)
Thank you for the background on the naming. Too bad for me that the document is only for your German speaking friends, I would be interested in seeing 60 pages on that topic. My comment on the name was more visceral than founded in research. I do think this name and logotype that you've developed will have sustainability. I only hope the company will have the longevity the timeless nature your design will sustain.
I feel the slight changes you've made do help with the visual balance of the logotype. Excellent work.
Once you decide on color. Will you be developing a set of logo standards and usage for this company?
Thank you for your comment marcdavid, I appreciate it a lot.
"I only hope the company will have the longevity the timeless nature your design will sustain."
I do hope so too and to clear up any confusion: I am working at Simplease and responsible for Typography, Usability-Engineering and User Experience Design thus I will do my best :)
I will definitely develop a guideline for logo standards and usage though I have no imagination about colors yet. In my opinion colors are so important that I can't decide on them right after designing the type -> I need some time now to let it rest and develope some ideas. (btw. I'm still not 100% sure about the logotype)
Regarding to the documents on renaming the company I can possibly mock up a rather short english version as soon as I find the time.
Regarding to what I've read in another thread I decided to take a closer look at "p" and "a".
"One of the things I note about single-storey a is that the counter and bowl always appear slightly larger than that of d if actually the same size."
So I studied the different versions of Futura Bold and noticed that there is a slight difference between "a" and "p" and where the bowls meet the stem. I've tried to adopt this to my logotype. Furthermore I've tried some different kernings and decided to present you this last one in which I'm not sure if the "ease" looks horrible or perfectly alright. I've also opened the "p-l-e" kerning as recommended by epsilicon.
I hope you can spot the difference and tell me whether it's an improvement or not (or if it got worse).
"the longer I stare at that "s", the less I know if it's good. Now I'm worried about giving bad advice, so I'll be watching from behind my rock.
It took some time but now I totally agree on what you've said altaira. The "s" was too wide especially when you compare it to the "s" of other fonts. That's why I've changed it (again) and also adjusted the capital "S" to suit it -> I hope it fits now.
This time I've also experimented with color. I decided on C=100 M=50 Y=20 K=0 which gives me a very intensive greenish blue. Now let me explain why I've choosen this color.
For a User Experience Company there are two big components. On the one hand we have humans and on the other hand we have science. The black version doesn't communicate science at all and so I thought it might be a good idea to communicate this via color. The little touch of green makes it more organic than typical corporate blues and supports the human vibe of the bold and friendly looking letters. That's at least what I hope it does :).
I've also attached a screenshot of how it might be perceived by color blind persons (Protanopia and Deuteranopia) regarding to this colour blindness simulator.

PHOENIX, Ore. — The peer mediation team at Phoenix High School held a workshop Friday for Pleasant Hill students. The Eugene-area kids traveled to Medford to learn how to improve their peer mediation program. The Phoenix High School program has been successfully helping students solve problems for the last 13 years.
Peer mediation leaders spent the day teaching students how to help each other when conflict arises. If a student is distracted from classes because of a friendship issue, or even something as serious as depression or having thoughts of suicide, a peer mediator can intervene. Students believe they have more to give than a traditional counselor because they can relate to the students their age.

Ricky Rosas Named Miami (Ohio) Interim Head Coach
Nov. 20, 2009
OXFORD, Ohio - Ricardo "Ricky" Rosas has been named interim head coach of Miami University's women's tennis team, Director of Athletics Brad Bates announced today. He replaces David Emery who resigned recently.
Ricardo Rosas has been an assistant coach with the Miami women's tennis program for six seasons and helped lead the RedHawks to an undefeated Mid-American Conference season, the MAC tournament championship and a berth in the NCAA Tournament last May. He brings an impressive tennis background and strong experience as an international competitor.
"We are appreciative that Ricky has taken on this role for the season," Bates said. "He has shown solid leadership skills during his time as an assistant and that will continue."
Rosas, who graduated from Instituto Villa de Cortes Mexico in Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico, has been playing professionally and coaching since he was a young boy.
As a junior player, Rosas was one of Mexico's finest, ranking as high as No. 6 in singles and No.12 in doubles nationally and No. 26 in singles and No. 12 in doubles in the ITF World Rankings. In 1993-94, he participated in the U.S. Open, The French Open and Wimbledon as an 18-year old.
Following his junior career, he went on to play four years on the ATP Tour (1994 to 1997), reaching career-best rankings of No. 574 in singles and No. 375 in doubles. His international experience also includes representing Mexico in several events, including the 1994 Davis Cup.
After his playing career ended, Rosas spent one year at the Gary Kesl Tennis Academy in Deerfield, Fla. There he was one of the academy's instructors while also overseeing court maintenance and the supervision of the school's other instructors.
During the 2006-07 season, Rosas served as the interim head coach for the Miami program after then-head coach Ray Reppert departed in mid-February to take a position in Florida. Rosas brought continuity to the program at a time of influx and guided the RedHawks to an 8-8 overall record, including a 4-4 Mid-American Conference mark.
Rosas and his wife, Marilyn, reside in Oxford.

Displaying RSS feeds easily using Google Ajax Feed APIDisplaying RSS feeds from other sites (ie: CNN or Digg) on your own is a nice way to show constantly updated content automatically. However, for the novice web developer, setting this up can be daunting, requiring both knowledge from you and your server's ability to host remote files. Google's Ajax Feed API changes all that, by basically enabling any webmaster to display RSS feeds on their sites using some JavaScript code. It hosts the desired RSS feeds on their servers for you, caches them, and returns the data in either JSON or XML format for you to utilize. All that's left is for you to use some JavaScript to parse this data and output it on your page. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to harness Google Ajax Feed API to fetch a RSS feed and display it on your site. Here are a few examples:

I agree with the commenter, Oakland Listener/Drupal Developer, who said that the two Syrian American guests had nothing to offer but their own self-righteousness. No evidence or argument. So I can't imagine why they were asked on the show. The earlier commenter, Oakland Listener/Drupal Developer, is also right in saying that Voices of the Middle East did a much better job of challenging leftist orthodoxy on Syria. VOMENA said that U.S. anti-interventionists tend to see Syria only through the lens of anger at their own government and therefore not to ackowledge the legitimate Syrian opposition.
Cal State Professor As'ad AbuKhalil, aka the Angry Arab News Service, was also some of the best analysis I've heard, on the Friday Project Censored/Morning Mix. He said he didn't trust Russian motives any more than American.
Very bad radio. Sonali's long explanation at the beginning of the clip about how it was so hard to find anyone to talk to about Syria, so she's just going to go ahead and interview two friends of hers, was exceptionally lame. This was an embarrassing display. Why, with multiple producers, did a program with no paid staff at all run rings around Upfrontt in providing thoughtful and intelligent commentary. This isn't about pro or anti, it's about doing your homework and putting out a professional product. (Although frankly shilling for a misguided propaganda-driven missile strike is not exactly the "alternative" most Pacifica listeners are looking for). If this is the kind of editorial judgment these programmers and producers are exercising, then they need more supervision.
Just listened. I can't imagine that Sonali could not have found some more intelligent opponents to the Assad regime. These two have little more to say than that they are right, as is military intervention, and the world has abandoned them. This week's Voices of the Middle East did a lot more to challenge leftist precepts, without calling for intervention.
Uh-oh. . . just checked in on this page to see whether Upfront had labeled its content to make it subject searchable in Google, as I do from time to time. Looks like I might be glad that, once again, they didn't because I could not be more opposed to any military intervention in Syria, but I'll try to find time to give this a listen and see whether I agree with Catman99 above.
Actually, that's Carman99 "below," as this laid out. I thought I'd hit "reply" to his comment.
Dear Upfront,
What the …. are you trying to do here with Sonali's reporting on Syria? Everyone understands that there is a small minority of Syrians(15% or less) who are against their current government. However; as we in the global 99% attempt to stop what could spiral out of control, and into a "human species extinction event," this becomes the height of irresponsibility.
This looks like insanity from Sonali, some kind of global "death wish." Ms. Sonali needs some kind of serious therapy.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - One of the biggest changes in television this year will be more channels being available online with no separate cable or satellite subscription. But for would-be cord-cutters, watching live sports online has been elusive - until now. Dish Network Corp. on Monday unveiled an Internet-only subscription offering that includes ESPN.
DALLAS (AP) - If you've been putting off a trip abroad because it's too expensive, start packing your bags.
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Imagine a world in which your garage door opens automatically as you pull into the driveway. The living room lights and heater turn on - perhaps the oven starts warming up, too. In the so-called "smart home," cars, appliances and other devices all have sensors and Internet connectivity to think and act for themselves, and make your life easier.
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Petco said Monday it has removed all remaining Chinese-made dog and cat treats from its website and stores nationwide because of concerns they have sickened thousands of pets and killed 1,000 dogs in the U.S. since 2007.

new york yankees - Page 7
A-Rod, MLB Await Decision, Expected in January
NEW YORK (AP) — Now the waiting begins for Alex Rodriguez and Major League Baseball.
A-Rod's grievance hearing to overturn his 211-game suspension ended Thursday when both sides rested their cases, a day after the New York Yankees third baseman angrily walked out and decided not to testify in his own defense
Jeter Deal Leaves Yankess With $80M
NEW YORK (AP) — Derek Jeter's new contract has increased the Yankees' luxury tax payroll to $97.71 million for seven signed players next year. That leaves leaving New York with about $80 million to spend on the rest of its roster if the team wants to get under the 2014 luxury tax threshold
Bad Timing For Giants To Be 0-4
The New York Giants were tied with the Kansas City Chiefs more than halfway through the second quarter, 7-7, but that was all the G-Men would do offensively on the day.
The Chiefs went to a perfect 4-0 with a 23-7 victory over the Giants, who are now 0-4 for the first time in the Tom Coughlin era
Yankees Off-Season Questions Are Many
Colorado Rockies First Base Coach Rene Lachemann Gives Kids Awesome Advice [VIDEO]
Forget A-Rod, steroids and the Yanks losing games. In my mind that's all trivial. There's some good coming out of the MLB and it involves an old time first base coach, kids sitting in the stands and some damn good advice.
Which Contract Is Worse: Albert Pujols or Alex Rodriguez? [POLL]
When I take a look at the two men I am questioning in this debate, I honestly never thought I'd have to ask this question. The track record speaks for itself with Albert Pujols - he was the ultimate model of consistency for a decade with the St. Louis Cardinals and one of very few players I would have ever considered giving the kind of money he eventually received from the LA Angels, which was $240 million over the course of a 10-year deal.
Alfonso Soriano Is Coming Home, Traded To The Yankees
I can recall a number of things from my childhood, growing up as an avid sports fan, notably for the New York Yankees. I remember "The Flip Play" by Derek Jeter in the 2001 MLB Playoffs against Oakland, the Yankee Stadium heroics during the 2001 World Series Scott Brosius hitting a big homer off Trevor Hoffman in Game 3 the 1998 World Series against the San Diego Padres and Carl Everett stealing Mike Mussina's potential perfect game at Fenway Park.
Ryan Braun Suspended for the Rest of 2013
Major League Baseball has thrown the first dagger in the Biogenesis case. Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun has been suspended by MLB without pay for the remainder of the 2013 season.
Derek Jeter Goes Back On Disabled List
During his 2013 season debut last Thursday, Yankees captain Derek Jeter seemed to be playing well as the designated hitter, until he was suddenly pulled for a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the 8th inning. After the game, we learned that Jeter felt something during his final at-bat and took a precautionary MRI, which he acted very nonchalant about during his post-game press conference.
A Public Confession: I Can't Watch Baseball On TV Anymore!
As I have gone through early adulthood and now sit at 25 years old, I have discovered a number of things: my regretful inability to grow meaningful facial hair, my reestablished love for the NHL and my tremendous disdain for New York State politicians (just read my recent articles about Mixed Martial Arts as a reference point). However, the greatest of these observations is the one I have decided to address in this article: my growing disinterest for watching Major League Baseball games on television.

I recently brewed the AHS Sticke Alt (all grain) and hit all the numbers finally I decided there was way too much beer left over in the grain bed and I should put the second runnings to good use. It was only a gallon but I fired it up and used some extra hops I had. 1/4 oz Northern Brewer at 60min (10.5% AA) 1/4 oz NB at 30min 1 oz Citra at 0 The gravity was 1.030 after boil I use J. Palmers recipe calculator slide rule thing and it does not have capability for gallon sized IBU estimations. After I added the hops I realized the IBU's were way high using extrapolation. My question is can anybody run those additions in their brew software and let me know what expected IBU's will be?
I'm getting just under 90 IBUs! And an estimated ABV of 3%
From what you have given, I get 127 IBU with BeerSmith using the Tinseth method. My assumptions: 1 gallon beginning volume 0.86 final volume 1.026 BG 1.030 FG Your designated hop additions
Thank you guys for the help. Kylvester: you are correct initial boil was 1gal. I remember a small dim lightbulb going off when I realized my mistake late that night. I had "sampled" quite a few homebrews during the process. It's not experimenting unless you've had a few! Perhaps this hop bomb will be half of a new blended beer. I also realized I did not have a stopper to fit my gallon jug hope the foam works out. It's on the left in the picture.
Did you sanitize that foam?

If you are a modern art enthusiast planning to visit Paris, you probably already heard of the Centre Pompidou (which is also a great relaxation site), this multidisciplinary cultural centre that, among other things, hosts the National Museum of Modern Art and organizes really interesting exhibitions.
But what you may not know is that the city of Paris also has its own modern art museum, and that its collections have no reason to be jealous of Centre Pompidou's.
Immediately after the entrance hall, you can visit the impressive room dedicated to Raoul Dufy's La Fée Electricité, one of the biggest paintings in the world, which retraces the history of electricity through the ages. Collections are downstairs (free of charge, like in other municipal museums), and exhibitions on the main floor.
The Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (full name!) is located in the East wing of the Palais de Tokyo, near Chaillot hill, in the aristocratic 16th district. Mostly visited for the Eiffel Tower, this area is also full of museums, some of which are part of Colline des Musées discount programme:
- the West wing of the same building hosts the Palais de Tokyo centre for contemporary art (and a cool trendy restaurant: Tokyo Eat)
- Musée du Quai Branly: primitive arts, on the other bank of the river, next to Eiffel Tower
- Cité de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine (architecture and town planning museum).
And also (not included in the programme):
- Musée Guimet: Asian arts

Steven Pressley believes Coventry's emotional return to the Ricoh Arena will unlock the club's potential.
A 16-month exile in Northampton will come to an end in front of the Sky Sports cameras on Friday night when City - a Premier League club as recently as 2001 - host Gillingham in League One.
A solution has been found to the long-running rent dispute between the club's owners and the company which runs the Ricoh, and the supporters who stayed away last season have responded in big numbers.
Coventry announced late on Thursday that all home tickets had been sold for the game - a far cry from the average 2,348 fans who showed up at Sixfields last season.
Manager Pressley told Sky Sports News: "I think it's been very apparent that every single person in the city has been affected in one way or another by the club leaving for that period of time. To come home to a full house is going to be a truly wonderful occasion.
"We had 2-3,000 supporters camped outside the club shop to get tickets for the game, which just shows how big a potential this club has. As a manager I just hope we can start fulfilling that potential."
Watch Coventry's homecoming live on Sky Sports 2 on Friday night. Coverage begins at 7.30pm

How flat will Rick Perry's flat tax be?
(Read article summary)Rick Perry is going to propose a flat tax plan soon. He's said it's going to be 'flatter and fairer' than Herman Cain's signature '9-9-9' proposal, which has been hammered by his rivals.
Isaac Brekken/AP
Rick Perry is going to propose a new flat rate income tax system sometime soon. He's said it's going to be "flatter and fairer" than Herman Cain's signature "9-9-9" proposal. So just how flat is it going to be?
We ask that question because Mr. Perry's plan, depending on its details, could be open to some of the same criticisms that GOP rivals have leveled at Cain's triple 9 strategy.
The current income tax is levied in a stair-step of increasing rates the higher one's income rises. A true flat tax, which would tax all income at one rate, thus would lower taxes for the wealthy and likely raise them for the poor and some percentage of the middle class, if it is to bring in anything close to the same amount of money produced by today's system.
Rick Santorum, among others, hammered at this aspect of a flat tax in this week's CNN debate. Speaking of Cain's"9-9-9", Santorum said, "I love his boldness ... but the fact of the matter is, reports are now out that 84 percent of Americans would pay more under his plan ... we're talking about major increases in taxes on people".
Cain's already tweaking his proposal, carving out exemptions for those near the poverty line in order to soften what outside experts judge to be its regressive nature. Can Perry avoid such a retreat?

John Wall believes he's got a damn good shot. He believes that if he keeps taking shots, one by one, they'll fall and the Washington Wizards will rise. He's sure of it.
His shots, though, don't always fall on first attempt.
There he was launching shots this past November. Finally free to go home after a long day, he walked toward the steps leading out from the practice court in the Verizon Center. But instead of leaving, he grabbed a ball from the rack.
He's a basketball junkie and doesn't like to walk off a court without trying one last shot. He chucked a 20-footer up toward the rim. Clank. No hard feelings—he wasn't really trying. Time to go home.
But before he reached the door, a Wizards staffer challenged him to make a shot from the top of the staircase. It was a long, tricky baseline shot with a low ceiling overhead.
Five shots turned to ten, and no one made a bucket. Not Wall. Not the three staffers who joined him. Wall came closest, his shots twice landing softly on the rim and spinning out. This didn't look good, considering his reputation as a poor shooter and his insistence that he'd improved as he headed into his third NBA season. He was going to make one.
"I can't leave with a miss," he said. "Tell Twitter I made it in one try. It's never taken me more than five."
It was 5 o'clock on a Monday evening. An hour earlier, Wall had entered the facility full of energy, taking the stairs swiftly down to the court for a photo shoot. He's the face of the Wizards organization and knows that life as an NBA star is more than showing up for games. Sometimes you have to smile for the cameras even though you've finished a long practice, undergone treatment for an injured knee, endured a long post-practice meeting, and, as he said, "just want to go home."
Wall was cool. Everyone else in the building seemed on edge as they adjusted to the rock-star presence of young Justin Bieber and his circus-like entourage roaming the Verizon Center halls on Segways. Asked if he planned to stick around for the sold-out show—if he was a Belieber—Wall said, "Naw."
While Bieber signed autographs, Wall did the only thing he's been allowed to do while recovering from a knee injury. He posed for pictures: palming the ball with one hand, squeezing it with two, shooting a free throw, crossover dribbling, dribbling behind the back, faking a pass. Flexing his muscles. Turning this way. Standing that way. Sitting on a chair. Stepping back. Dribbling faster. Again and again.
"I need a smile from you, John," the photographer said.
Wall dutifully cracked a semi-smile well rehearsed to show the right amount of teeth without looking cheesy. He never complained, but his puffy eyes betrayed his fatigue.
"I know how Bieber feels," he said.
The photo shoot done, Wall started shooting baskets. Miss after miss, the count swelled to 20 and everyone but Wall was laughing.
Finally he nailed one, yelling, "Get the f--- in there!"
For those who know him, this was quintessential Wall. He's competitive. He's playful. He's determined. He's restless. He's moody. He's addicted to basketball. He has a potty mouth. All of which make him a strong candidate to be an NBA franchise player. But can he handle that responsibility? Does he even have a shot?
The Wizards haven't won a championship in 35 seasons, and they're counting on the 22-year-old point guard from Raleigh, North Carolina, to turn them into a playoff-qualifying team. It's a near-impossible job for one player—despite his prodigious talents—especially one who missed the first 33 games of this 82-game season with a stressed left patella.
Wall wants to be beloved in this city. He wants to prove he's as worthy as those household names from other cities—Chicago's Derrick Rose, Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant, Los Angeles's Kobe Bryant, Miami's LeBron James.
"There's so much work I have to do," he says.
He believes he can get there. One shot at a time.
• • •
"I believe in my talent," Wall tells me. And rightfully. He's the wunderkind who got cut from his high-school team in Raleigh but shook it off to become the top-ranked high-school player in the US in 2009. Then after one year of college at Kentucky, he grabbed the spotlight in 2010 as the NBA's number-one overall draft pick.
So, yeah, he believes in himself—even more in his power to focus his talents and achieve the unthinkable. That's his humble plan for the Wizards. Playoffs. Championship. Locker-room Champagne showers. Pictures with President Obama. The whole thing.
As Wall enters year three of his pro career—he considers it the most important year—there are many reasons to doubt him. Then again, he's proven naysayers wrong before.
"When I was in high school, there were so many people that said, 'John Wall can't do this, John Wall can't do that,' " he says, looking my way as he recalls his teenage years.
I remember. I was one of the doubters. As a sports reporter for the News & Observer in Raleigh, I had a front-row seat for Wall's remarkable rise. One day no one's ever heard of him, the next they're playing videos of his ferocious dunks on YouTube as if it's Gangnam Style.
By 2010, Wall had his own dance—the John Wall Dance. On ESPN you'd see people imitating the silly arm move where you pump your bicep and then rotate your balled fist. Soon after the 2010 NCAA tournament, before the Wizards selected the 19-year-old as their top pick, he received a special endorsement from President Obama, who said in an interview with Marv Albert: "Wall is a terrific player. He's got NBA speed, NBA body, great jump shot, unselfish, really impressive. There's only upside for that kid. And I think it'd be great for him to come to Washington."
Back then, that blew my mind. Had I missed something? He had been impressive at Kentucky—scoring the most points of any freshman in school history and earning SEC player of the year. But I recalled an earlier version of the kid, five inches shorter with a defective jump shot and a surly demeanor.
I saw Wall play for Garner Magnet High School in North Carolina when he was a sophomore, then later at Word of God Christian Academy. I thought he was too short, too scrawny, his game too incomplete to amount to much. He walked around angry and played in a reckless, out-of-control way.
Later, as his name caught fire, I shrugged it off, telling one coach there were many more talented players in the region. "He can't shoot," I said. "How is he a pro if he can't shoot?"
They said he was an elite NCAA Division I basketball player—perhaps the greatest ever to come from North Carolina.
I scoffed.
So it's strange to sit across from him in the Verizon Center eight years later, in an empty arena where he's the franchise player. When he talks about how people used to doubt him, I raise my hand and admit, "I missed it."
"I appreciate you being honest," Wall says. He doesn't seem to take it personally, as though his opinion is the only one that matters. And in a way he's right.
Wall's the future of the Wizards. He's positioned to become an NBA All-Star—a spot he proclaimed for himself at age ten. He's always believed this was his destiny.
"I just wanted to prove people wrong," he says. "I tuned everything out and went for it."

Film Review: The Whisperer in Darkness (2011)
SYNOPSIS: In 1931 H.P. Lovecraft wrote his classic tale of alien horror, "The Whisperer in Darkness". Lovecraft is now considered one of America's foremost writers of horror fiction, standing alongside the likes of Stephen King and Edgar Allan Poe. REVIEW: Bold black and white scenes, no end credits but instead a cast of players, and a bunch of auspicious practical effects, is this a sci-fi movie from the 50's? Not exactly, it's only made in … Continue reading

Ohio Holds 212th Birthday Celebration At Statehouse
Ohio is celebrating its 212th birthday with special events at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus.
Many Ohioans living with HIV and AIDS soon could have a tough time getting their life-saving drugs. The problem is not a lack of medications; it's a lack of funding for drug assistance programs. Federal funding for state drug assistance programs have been flat. Many states like Ohio find they're running short of money as people requesting assistance increases.
WOSU's Classical Music Service soon will move to a new frequency and expand to 24 hours a day. The move allows WOSU to expand its news programming on 89.7FM to 24 hours a day.
For more than two hours the legislature's top budget adviser cited hundreds of numbers of how state government raises money and spends it. But a six-member panel gave little indication how they would fill next year's projected state budget deficit.
Franklin County Commissioners approved $2.5 million from the government to create job-help programs for refugees and immigrants.
This year's Community Festival at Goodale Park saw hotter temperatures and increased police presence than previous events. And the increase in police officers could have led to a huge increase in arrests. Some area residents say the extra police made for a better festival, while others' experiences were sub-par.
The group "Let Ohio Vote" now does not want Ohioans to vote on whether to allow slot machines at horse race tracks.
Elected officials usually conduct their meetings in public, however the law says sometimes they can hold meetings in private. But Columbus City Council members say city ordinances prevent them from holding such executive sessions. They are looking at ways to hold some meetings in private.
"Think the un-thinkable." That's what an advocacy group for low-income Ohioans is urging state legislators to do when it comes to plugging the projected $4 to $8 billion hole in the next state budget.
This spring saw the passage of one of most contentious pieces of state legislation in recent history. The immigration reform bill known as SB1070 passed in Arizona and spawned countless discussions nationwide about race, ethnicity, and the legal rights of immigrants. The document also spawned countless boycotts of all things "Arizonian". WOSU Commentator Stacia Kock points out that knee-jerk, twitter inspired boycotts can backfire.
There wasn't a lot of news out of the first major speech by Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland's running mate. But their supporters are trying to make some about the reaction her address got from Strickland's critics in the Republican Party.

text: Who the F*** is Dick Dangerous? - The Turtle Writes OffMar 31, 2006 The Bottom Line The Mysterious Mr Turtlewind invites you to celebrate the life and times of the esteemed Mr Dick Dangerous. So who the f**k is Dick Dangerous? How would you describe this cold a** motherf**ker? Dick Dangerous is an uncouth rascal from the barely civilised continent of America. He apparently fights crime in Finchley, but last time I was in Finchley the toilets were full of people doing things to each others bottoms. He is clearly not doing a very good job. Apparently his distinguishing feature is that he has the name of God tattooed on his bottom. Once I thought he might have been stealing my soul by night like in Bubba Ho-Tep so I scampered heroically round a building site pulling gentlemens trousers down to try and unmask him. The bruises still havent so much as faded, to this day. If you could be Dick Dangerous for a day what would you do? Don't make me make out with 50: I still haven't gotten over that one. I would probably have naughty-bumpy with Ms mother. My own mother was a slatternly wench from savage Derbyshire, and I have issues. Every night shed give me a glass of milk saying it would help me grow into a big strong man. Lying b*tch. Which Dick Dangerous character would you most like to be in an adult situation with? Maybe I should add the proviso apart from me - that's a given. Adult situation? Were all grown-ups here! Oh, he means like Dutch Dorms Pet Parlour IV, which is my favourite documentary. Probably Ms mother, or maybe Ern. We could go and probe some crime! Who is your favorite Dick Dangerous character? What's your flavor? Mr Cinquante Centimes continuing obliviousness to his abiding unpopularity never fails to tickle the Turtles chuckle muscles. I also have a soft spot for Bruce Fearless, whose tireless dedication to promoting man-wombat love is a beacon in a grey world of ignorant prejudice. Which is your favorite Dick Dangerous review? Everyone gotta have a favorite. Oh, goodness me, that is a poser. I was quite fond of the adventure where Dick encountered three spirits and Death demanded porn. That was more than usually tittersome, oh yes. Which celebrity would you most like Dick Dangerous to take out? Don't chose Sean Connery or Dick And Dom, we done them good. I think Dick Dangerous should probably take out Keira Knightley, as she has been quite unlucky in love of late and a few hours in the company of a soldier of fortune with his own hip-hop crew and a mysterious benefactor would cheer her up no end. Take her out for yummy chicken in Finchley Road, Dick. Which Epinionator would you most like Dick Dangerous to take out? Go on, let's play naughty. I like that sh*t. Dick, can you please do naughty things to the bottom of sleeper54? He doesnt make a whole lot of sense and I think he fancies me. Which category should Dick Dangerous be Advisor for? I am caring and sharing, after all. I think we all know the answer to this one! Dick should clearly be the Advisor for the Kids and Family section, as he has such a love of language and could teach the worlds children some really interesting words. Like flange. And felching. If you suspected one person on Epinions of being Dick Dangerous, who would it be? Some of y'all got identity problems where I'm concerned. Im Dick Dangerous! And sos my wife! Which Epinions reviewer most deserves a big Dick Dangerous shout-out? Rated-r, for also being utterly incomprehensible. He doesnt think God exists, but he is best friends with Dick Dangerous who is God. And me, of course, and I am worshipped by a small tribe in Bognor who call me Dances With Scorpions. But you know me, I dont brag. |

Arena Pharma Is Still A Good Short
A better measure of Eisai's prowess here is Halaven, a treatment for late-stage breast cancer that the company markets independently. Despite Eisai's oncology focus and management's projections of "blockbuster" sales, Halaven generates less than $300 million in annualized revenue two years post launch. That's hardly the hallmark of a U.S. drug -marketing powerhouse.
4. Arena only receives roughly one-third of Belviq's profits.
Although valuation metrics are often ignored in the early stages of a drug launch, the likelihood that Belviq stumbles out of the gate may make investors more valuation sensitive with respect to Arena. Based on script data thus far, I estimate Vivus' Qsymia will generate below-consensus sales of only $200 million in 2013. It might not even do that well. I would be surprised if peak U.S. sales for Qsymia exceeded $650 million. (Although the stock has declined meaningfully as investors have lowered expectations for Qsymia, Vivus is still probably a decent short at current prices.)
Arena and Eisai's 190 sales representatives that will launch Belviq is too small a group to adequately cover the general practitioner market. But let's give them the benefit of the doubt and assume these sales reps do a surprisingly (if not unbelievably) effective job scrounging up $750 million in Belviq sales in 2015. For Arena, that would generate $250 million in revenue. Applying a five times multiple to these near-peak revenues suggests the present value of Belviq by the end of next year is only $996 million.
The math is clear: Even though Arena shares have tumbled over the past few months, plenty of downside remains. Arena is still a good short. Sadeghi has no positions in stocks mentioned in this column.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
