A Look at Flat Design and Why It's Significant
There has been a growing tidal wave of flat designs on the web, and recent trend reports have confirmed that they're only increasing in popularity.
Of course it's easy to dismiss flat design as yet another fleeting aesthetic trend.
But further investigation into this new philosophy reveals that flat design is a lot more than "just for looks."
What is Flat Design?
Flat design can be seen as the more sophisticated and versatile cousin of minimalism. While flat designs look great when made within the restraints of minimalism, they can also handle a lot more complexity; these designs have a crispness and clarity that can only be achieved by stripping away three dimensional effects. In its essence, flat design has two objectives:
- Embracing the limits of the screen and working within those parameters rather than trying to disguise them.
- Using this newfound simplicity as a starting point for streamlining designs, and making websites faster and more functional.
Flat design doesn't necessarily mean that anything hinting at dimensionality is out of place. For example, this website features an angled illustration with a clear perspective. But the overall trajectory of the trend is towards simplicity and minimalism. The buttons are plain fields of color with sharp corners. There's not a drop shadow, beveled edge, or gradient to be seen.
Flat Design as a Response to the Problems of Skeumorphism
For every action, there is a reaction. And in the world of digital design, flat imagery is cropping up more, in part as a reaction against skeumorphism. But flat design is more than just an artistic treatment; it's a response to the serious functionality issues that skeuomorphism presents.
What is Skeuomorphism?
If you're unfamiliar with the term, skeuomorphism is the practice of incorporating the look of an object that was made in another material into a design: what was once functionality becomes ornamentation. The reference is meant to evoke a sense of familiarity when encountering a new concept/tool/app online. This principle of imitation is all around us; a plastic chair that duplicates the shape of its wooden original is a good example how it manifests itself in the real world.
In the digital world, skeuomorphism is often associated with Apple products, which provide a great example of how it often looks in digital design. Just take a look at Apple's dashboard design:
- The obvious components: The calculator, clock, and calendar are digital illustrations of their real-world counterparts.
- The subtle details: The drop shadows and beveled buttons, the textured background, and even the shuddering movement of the second hand on the clock are also made to mirror physical products.
The Problems with Skeuomorphism
While there's something to be said for the philosophy of skeuomorphism, there are a lot of issues that come with using it in digital design. For example, the analog clock featured in Apple's dashboard is harder to read than its digital alternative, and it's much more time-consuming to click the buttons on the calculator then it is to simply key them into the Spotlight function that also comes with Apple products. There are actually quite a few problems that arise with adhering to skeuomorphism:
- By sticking to standards that are irrelevant in a digital format, skeuomorphism limits creativity and functionality.
- Skeuomorphic elements look inconsistent when combined with less dimensional elements, and often the imitations don't even make logical sense. For example, Apple's Find My Friends app has a background that's made to look like stitched leather. But this element has no relation to any real-world reference.
- Skeuomorphic elements can take up valuable screen space and loading time with functionless embellishments.
- They also tend to look wrong when combined with anything else that isn't treated with skeuomorphic effects, limiting the entire design as well as any particular element.
The Solution Found in Flat Design
The response of flat design makes is to embrace the real limitations of the digital experience, and to do away with the imposed limitations of skeuomorphism. Anything on a screen will never truly look three dimensional, so why not embrace the beauty (and accompanying increase in functionality) that comes from stripping away illusory decoration?
Example #1:
Example #2:
Take the above examples of LayerVault's website: example #1, the older design, shows a very detailed and elaborate illustration in the skeuomorphic style, which as previously mentioned, looks wrong in combination with the flat, clean appearance of the rest of the site. Compare it with the flat illustrative style of the new design, example #2, and there's no contest as to which is more compelling and functional. The original illustration is distracting without being informative, while the modified one guides the eye to important information without eclipsing it.
Flat Design Harmonizes and Builds on the Goals of Skeuomorphism and Minimalism
The elements that bring flat design beyond a passing trend into a lasting and comprehensive strategy are twofold:
- Flat design is tailored to fit an on-screen experience, as opposed to earlier styles which were made to mimic a physical experience.
- That tailoring lends itself perfectly to enhancing the user experience in a number of ways.
Flat design takes the best aspects of minimalism and skeuomorphism and makes them work together. Like skeuomorphism, flat design looks friendly and approachable to users. But it does this by presenting a clear and engaging interface, rather than disguising and warping that interface to mimic something familiar. Like minimalism, flat design strips down visual elements to expose their essential functionality. But it's not as restrictive in the way it does this; as demonstrated above, the importance of ornamentation is recognized and utilized.
Flat Design is the Perfect Style for Great UX
Flat design not only reconciles the goals of minimalism and skeuomorphism, it also is uniquely adaptable to usability considerations. By shedding unnecessary styling, it makes for speedier pages, cleaner code, and easy adaptability. It also lends itself beautifully to every type of application; whether viewed on a desktop or a mobile screen, flat design is always legible and adaptable.
Flat Design is Endlessly Adaptable
Example #1:
Example #2:
To see how simply and beautifully these applications can be integrated with each other, take a look at the design of Windows Phone, in examples #1 and #2 above. The company has chosen to be a key player in the movement away from a look that has been closely associated with Apple, and its decision is paying off in a great interface; bright color blocking is used in both to designate sections, and all the typography and imagery looks elegant and integrated.
Flat design has all the key attributes that make a site as functional as it is beautiful. It recognizes that a sense of familiarity is important to the user experience, but it creates this sense in a way that fits with the medium. At the same time, it's able to adapt to new discoveries, trends, and ideas. Flat design brings us a step closer to a new paradigm of digital design, where the functionality and aesthetic are in complete harmony.

The earth just turned flat again. Or design did. Flat design, tiles and "mono" (2-color) symbols and logos can be great in some scenarios: Like when your goal is to cut down cost on printed material, designing wrapping for "low price" grocery products etc. "Saving us" from colorful and intuitive/"life like" design in responsive media (screen displays) - gawd - that's like taking us back to the corrective fluid era. User friendly, right? Prove it! I hope it's a short lasting trend, makes me "flat" out depressed.
I don't like flat design because I can't tell what's clickable and what isn't. Flat design is a terrible idea.
"Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder", its individual perception. As per my knowledge is concerned. This is a very good strategy to kick out Artists J. This is developer friendly, scalability wise its good can be controlled by code, Less dependency on Visual designers. Please don't tell this is the best. To render real-time 3D would be more challenging and difficult on the users devices. So someone made this as a trend and hypnotized the world as this is the best, i agree in terms of maintenance. But 3D would make sense, it's my view
As minimalist as he was, Steve Jobs would probably have said no to flat design. It's an unjustifiable step backward. It seems to have been "created" by people or companies that are either 1) putting questionable fashion before usability 2) keep an over population of web designers busy. This is a trend that is likely to die in a couple of years. As long as we interact with computers using our eyes, we haven't see our last "shaded" button yet.
It is a disappointment to see so many companies focus on the futile. There are bigger UI issues to solve. What about better ways to present the information and link information together? I couldn't care less about giant squares the size of bricks that take the whole screen, just for the heck of it.
You cannot be serious. "these designs have a crispness and clarity that can only be achieved by stripping away three dimensional effects". Yes, sure they do. It's nothing to do with a bunch of idiot 'designers' blindly following whatever Apple do, of course. If Apple jumped off a cliff, you'd all follow. This article is nothing but a pathetic attempt to justify something you can't even explain - blindly following somebody else, who themselves is WRONG. Flat design looks awful.
"making websites faster and more functional". Evidence? You have none.
Most people HATE 'flat' design, because it looks like crap. There is a reason designers moved to 3D design - it looks good. Next you'll be telling us that grey text on a white background is 'so much less clinical, and easier to read', etc.etc.
For someone who is asking for evidence your entire comment consists of your own subjective opinion. Also, It's clear that you know next to nothing about the design industry if you think that designers blindly folllowed Apple in this case. Apple was probably the last major company to embrace flat design.
Finally we all agree on this concept. Flat design is always cleaner. People only want to know information in a clear way and not all this craziness that other designers think is so cool. It isn't cool.Great Article for sure! Let's keep it simple but clear. White space rocks too!
Thanks for the great article, though I disagree about the purported improvement on the layervault website - I much prefer the original one, not just in terms of the very attractively rendered painting/vault (which directly connects the origin of the brand's name with the non-physical reality of digital security - nicely tongue in cheek), but the older page is much clearer in terms of call to action functionality from what I can see.
I don't really have a dog in the race when it comes to flat vs. skeuomorphic...but the example of the LayerVault site is ridiculously unsupportive of the argument here. I'm not familiar with LayerVault, but looking at the flat example I'd have no idea what its purpose is; the first example tells me quite clearly what their service is, and the visual they chose is congruent with the purpose they described.
And, I notice that they've now abandoned that design, too.
Flat design tends to have worse usability according to studies by Jakob Nielsen.
I understand what the author is trying to say, but the statements about calculator and clock are just off.
You don't have to push buttons in the calculator. Just type the numbers and press enter in the calculator.Maybe the autor is not used to clock with visors. Stating it's faster to read numbers vs looking at an analogue clock doesn't make any sense. It's just not true. (measure it)
Usability rule nr 1 about buttons: Make them look like buttons.We press buttons all the time in elevators, keyboard.. anything. We all know the reference.Therefore a 3d button is easier to use
Usability rule nr 2: User should know what they can do.In Outlook or iCal in Windows and Mac it's not clear what are titles and what is clickable.Again, clear buttons would be highlighted.
These examples mean a lot to first time users of course who haven't used the new software before.
E.g. upgraders, people new to the software or older people.
Why would you expect them to learn to use a simple software? Nobody wants to do that.
"If you have to explain it.. your usability sucks"

I don't think there is a thin line that should divide skeumorphism and flat design. It should rely on how your target users use them, and how they would feel looking at it while using it. Aesthetically, flat design should cater the younger generations who were born with mobile devices in their hands like it's a birthright, (maybe like the author) who like shallow or basic, a little childis in nature, while skeumorphic design should deliver a more comprehensive design for people who where born with just the huse mouse with long cord. Not to mention the which is easier to code. More like how you design logos, some will want simpler designs, but some want an overly complicated borderline whimsical logo. just saying.

I am surprised nobody has mentioned battery life and processing power. Flat design got its most recent push because mobile chips tax batteries a lot more when calculating gradients, animations, bevels, and other 3D baggage. If you strip off the gradients and go flat, you trim processor cycles and might gain half-a-bar of life per charge. The hardware side got flat design on the agenda, not us designers. Seriosuly guys, do you even code?
I love the original Layervault design. I find it simplistic enough and very appealing. More complex pages might benefit from a flatter design, but this simple page looks very user-friendly.
As many have mentioned, flat design is simply an aesthetic. It offers a clean and simple option and DOES tend too move away from skeumorphisms. That said, there is a place for skeumorphisms even within flat design. The best example would be the play, forward and back buttons for music and movie players. These controls are a direct skeumorph of the real world tape decks of the past. They are now ubiquitous and many other skeumorphs exist within digital design and are, in some cases the best method for communicating function.
It's ironic that the example you've used at the end, Windows metro, has been proven to be one of the worst UIs for usability. 100% flat design, where you can't tell a box from a button, is a usabilty nightmare.
"By sticking to standards that are irrelevant in a digital format, skeuomorphism limits creativity and functionality."
Except everything that is flat designed looks exactly the same as each other. There's nothing more tiresome than the deluge of manifestos that designers vomit out on a regular basis that do nothing but redefine words.
I am not a designer, but would be happy to answer your question. I personally HATE flat design. (In fact, I found this article when searching for "hate flat design".)
At best, I find it ugly and childish (as if someone found a box of crayons and decided that their life calling was to make everything one of those colors).
At worst, I find it utterly unsuable as as buttons are often not identified because the developer assumed the interactive elements were obvious.
To be honest, what I really feel is a deep feeling of irritation bordering on anger. In the rush to recreate the "modern" look of the 1960s most designers have forgotten a fundamental lesson learned from that era - people flock to quality over trends. For example, in every meaningful way (price, durability, customization) a dining room table made out of plastic is "better" than one made out of wood. However, people buy nice dining room tables and even cheap pressed wood which simulates real wood because it LOOKS like a quality item.
Flat design feels cheap. Not like functional Ikea products, but like bargan-store leftovers. Flat (minimalist, modern) isn't bad because it is not functional - it is bad because it looks cheap.
To be honest, most of the time I just find another site or app to use. When I can't find one for a site I *used*, I tend to search for "hate flat design".
Bit late to the party but whatever...
Has anyone ever bothered to ask the question do normal everyday people NOT designers know or care about flat design? it may be popular but I highly doubt a normal person would use an interface specifically because its flat, they'd use it because it solves their problem.
I think flat design is OK but trying to develop a design language for a software application has it's limitations with accordance and detail. I've decided to take the approach of just designing usable, decent looking software that achieves user goals without being tied into a design style instead. I utilize whatever I can to make a great interface, why should I limit myself and my users?
Many of the images, in both the before and after examples, have thin, watery, low-contrast text that I find unreadable. If you're going to clean up and simplify, please improve the readability. Neither Old or New has gotten that right in most of the images shown here.
Users have different tastes. Personally I hate flat design, i find it looks cheap, awkward and boring. However I understand that others think it beautiful. Wouldn't it be great if the user could select the style based on personal preference? Maybe in the future...
I feel that the real emphasis should be on whether the design works--which you only find out by doing rigorous, systematic testing. (Here's a hint: it almost always never does the first few times around.)
The real skeumorph in a lot of "design" conversations is 1960s magazine work, arguably the pinnacle of that form (cf. Mad Men). How things look and how you arrange them has almost no effect on whether people then buy the dog food, something that the Mad Men knew and spent a lot of time keeping from the client. That model isn't sustainable anymore in a much more networked, responsive, and accountable environment. We need to start talking about the specific ways that a particular design motivates, supports, or extends action.
I'm assuming that this author is quite young. Otherwise, the comment about the "find my friends" stitched leather having no logical parallel in reality wouldn't have been made. Apparently this person has never seen someone carrying a Filofax - the brand name of a commonly leather binder, personal organizer of their friends, calendar, life, everything. And I'm in support of all the other comments regarding the author's misconstruing of flat design as the opposite of skeuomorphic.
Nice read, though the plastic chair analogy was not particularly good. The plastic chair looks like a wooden original one because it is a chair and that's the physical shape it has to have to work. It's not an icon on a screen trying to emulate a real world object for usability purposes.
In reading "Shutterstock's Global Design Trends 2013" which is the trend report that this article was based, it does not substantiate the claims that concerning the expanse of flat design. Unless the interpretation of flat design is aligned to growth of minimalism in the use of a clean layout with the least amount of textual clutter and using single graphical retro/vintage imagery to convey messaging. The above article expands upon the use of a flat design as a solution to the skeuomorphic style, however, cross platform the given examples of flat design would not show well from a desktop to a mobile device.
It seems that we are giving a lot of generalization of "What is flat design and best practices to flat design", a term coined and that has seems to gone viral via Mashable from Allan Grinshtein of LayerVault in his post "The Flat Design Era," published in 2012. So I am a little confused as I see flat design coined as a style when there are so many like styles from box, minimalist, zen, metro that may be also deemed as flat.
As some of the comments mention, style "fashions" come and go. Flat design, next, "long shadows" (as I've seen in a few articles). "Long shadows" may be accomplished via heavy use of (perhaps) bandwidth-intensive CSS and SVGs: not especially different, in your described "efficiency", from skeuomorphism. Flat design in and of itself (the layered mountain, for example) is just an image with a different style. Perhaps the designer may gain some speed by removing border-radius and linear-gradient CSS from buttons. That's about all I see happening, for now, with flat design.
The trouble with flat design in practice is that graphic designers, robbed of the option for excessive skew-morphism, tend to crank up the noise on other superfluous elements such as color, scale, grids, and random white space that make for excitement, but muddle the user experience in new flat ways.
Minimalism is good because it quiets the supporting players in the scene to allow for more new stars to be scene on stage. But make no mistake. Metro isn't minimalism.
Sorry to say but this seems like a flat design fanboy article. Although you have the right to your own opinion, I totally disagree when you say that flat design is good usability-wise. IMO Flat design takes out a lot of affordances from items and makes them more subjective and open for interpretation which is not a good usability principle.
This is my concern too. Flat buttons does not look like something you can click, because in the real world they would have a bevel. Flat design will be more difficult to understand. Take a look at Windows 8...
Would they have a bevel in the real world? IMO some would, some wouldn't. Haven't you ever used an ATM, microwave, stove, or debit card reader, coffee-maker, refrigerator ice maker with flat buttons? I have. You see both flat and 3d buttons in the real world. The point of skeuomorphism is to provide affordance for something that is unfamiliar. A digital button used to be unfamiliar. But now that we've had smart phones for several years, combined with the fact that even real-world products are adapting flat design, I have to question the need for this affordance. An affordance can be created other than with just skeuomorphism (which in my opinion is a design crutch). Contrast, use of whitespace, hierarchy, layout, color, etc., can create the affordance. As we are becoming more and more technologically advanced, I don't necessarily think we need to keep making our mobile apps look like analog products from the 80s. Flat design can be done well or poorly; skeuomorphism can be done well or poorly. Just my opinion.
Sure, there are systems with good and bad affordance in the real world, just as there are in the digital. My point being that flat design makes those a bit mor abstract. This might not be a problem, all depending on your audience. One could argue that flat designs requires a lot more craftmanship to be as easy to use as their psuedo-3d counterparts. But, hey this might be a good thing as it means digital products need to be designed, not just developed. Then I get to keep my job ;)
They say flat is a response to Skewmorphism, I think it is just the new technologies of being able to use SVG in web design.
1. The argument against "skeuomorphism" is completely irrelevant - as ALL UI-designs IS skeuomorphic per se. The real non-skeuomorphic design is pure binary ciphers. The discussion around this is therefore not wheter a design is skeuomorphic - but what kind of skeuomorphic design one prefers.
2. The "flat design" is not any new at all. It was a trend some years before Hitler (an Austrian - closest neighbor to Swiss) went in charge in Germany. From the 30's there is around in Europe some few funkis-design houses left. You could seriously wonder WHY there are so few (if this was a popular trend) - and why they all now have a Conservation value...
It's simply because very few bought those and very few kept them. Because very few LIKES them.
Exact as it is With Windows 8 - the largest big cooporate failure since 1985 Coca Cola "New Cola".
In my humble opinion it is up to you as designers wheter you will design for the market rather than riding Your very personal horse (ugly as it is) and have a job in the future rather than not.
I find all this discussion of flat vs skeumorphism a bit overblown. Seems like fashion to me, it moves and changes back and forth. Nothing more.
We were doing flat UI in Microsoft back in the mid 90's and were always getting pushed to move into more "lifted" or "aqua-like" designs.
They both work. Trends will come and go, and something will be added and lost every cycle. It's all good. Good design transcends these fashion trends. IMO.
Have a look at this: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2013/07/16/authentic-design/ where Dmitry Fadeyev shares a couple interesting thoughts on "flat" design.
You may think "flat" is another temporary hype, but from a wider perspective so was "skeuomorphism".
Any design approach had it's peek moment and very valid reasons to become widely adopted. It simply provided solutions to problems that appeared at the cross-roads of a certain time, available technology and lifestyle.
Personal aesthetic preferences matter of course - they are behind the cyclic nature of trends. Be it art, architecture, fashion or UX - one day we prefer austerity, the next day abundant ornamentation, only to welcome back austerity on the third.
If "flat design" ticks all evolutionary and aesthetical boxes these days then it will become mainstream. You can moan or you can ride the wave. Or you can create your own trend.
Good stuff! It validates several decisions I've made intuitively with respect to a set of design canvases I've developed. And here you provide the explanation.
I absolutely do not agree to this article. No doubt, Apple pushed some apps way over the top. But Luke Clum's findings are completely far-fetched.
Why does LayerVault's 1st attempt look wrong and the 2nd compelling and functional? What has flat design to do with great UX? Why should a flat rectangular be better recognized as a button than a beveled, traditional button? Why is a abstract pencil better than a photo-realistic safe? ...
What the author completely ignores, is the environment in which the display is being used. Try to make a flat design for a in-car infotainment system. It's like watching a plank! There're no straight forms inside a car. It just looks off. Making a flat design for a website which is displayed on a windowed browser, on a big screen, standing on a desk with space around, with borders around is an easy task. Look at the same thing on an iPad, laying an your flat desk is another. Watching a flat design on a small iPhone screen, hold in your hand with space all around is completely different again.
Finally, flat design is just another hype. And good designers stay better off trends and choose what best serves their needs. Flat design/minimal design/modernism is like 100 years old. Why don't we see Bauhaus all around us? Because Bauhaus lead us to slab-construction. And today, nobody wants to live there. People like to live in characterful old buildings with unergonomic high floors. A lot of people think of Windows Phone and Android Holo as boring.
It's not about skeumorphism vs. flat design. It's about everything in between and choosing the right visual style for your needs. This article at least helps no one or is just wrong at worst.
I totally agree with you flapflap - this article nicely explains many of the advantages of flat design but is studiously avoiding using the words "fashionable" and "trendy" - then again, nothing wrong with remaining current style-wise, it that's relevant to your industry but as you say, it's not the same context for everyone.
Awesome article! I was enjoying the read and when I got to the end I practically fell out of my chair because it indirectly references the app I developed, ProShot for Windows Phone (Example #2 just above the conclusion). I feel like I just saw myself on TV, haha. Thank you!
Like many designers, you're equating 'skeumorphism' with '3d' or 'depth.' In fact, you could have a completely flat calculator app that, nonetheless, has the layout of a traditional, physical calculator. That is a skeumorph. You could have a flat version of a rotary phone dial; that is also a skeumorph.
Flat is an aesthetic, and it can be beautiful. But 'flat' is not the inverse of skeumorphic; it is a design aesthetic.
Much agreed.
I found it particularly amusing that practically all the "non-skeumorphic" examples were completely skeumorphic! The flat pencil, the icons (magnifying glass, phone headset, envelope, etc).
Bravo. Too many people confuse "skeumorphism" with realism. It's easy to slam a visual design that's realistic but much harder to fix a truly skeu user interaction. Chrome's calculator does a great job of this, showing you all your entries. But the keyboard is still the "realistic" layout.

The sentencing for Lupe Almaguer, a former Mammoth Lakes daycare provider who was arrested last October on child sexual abuse charges, was continued yet again at the request of Almaguer's attorney Tuesday.
Almaguer was on the court calendar to be sentenced March 29, but was granted a continuance to April 26, according to Todd Graham, Mono County Deputy District Attorney.
Graham said earlier that the District Attorney's office would be ready to move forward on March 29. "I will state on the record that I am ready to proceed with the hearing," he said in a March 25 email.
A 24-year-old former Mammoth man was arraigned Tuesday morning on murder and arson charges related to the September killings of his estranged wife's grandmother and his two-year-old stepson, the Reno Gazette-Journal reported Tuesday.
Washoe County District Attorney Richard Gammick and his staff will be meeting to decide if they will seek the death penalty against Justin Tu Ouimet, currently of Reno, who is accused of fatally stabbing Lana Stone, 62, and Connor Lawrence, the two year old, the newspaper reported.
It was horrific, in every sense of the word.
A 43-year-old woman snowboarder crashed into the side of a snowcat last week at Mammoth Mountain, losing a leg when she was entangled in the spinning tiller behind the cat.
"Her leg was gone!" said a startled employee at the ski area, who asked for anonymity until investigators could complete their work.
Kathleen Willhide-Michiulis, a season pass holder from the Saugus neighborhood of Santa Clarita, was immediately airlifted to a Reno hospital.
The mountain community of Mammoth Lakes showed its true spirit for the winter sport of Biathlon Sunday in the 4th Annual Mammoth Winter Biathlon. Amidst heavy snowfall of 5-9 feet over the last week, the townspeople overcame blizzard conditions and mobilized in force Sunday morning beginning at 4 a.m. Volunteers built out a 20-point biathlon stadium in order to host more than 200 racers, making this race the largest winter biathlon in North America.
The Super Sign outside Main Lodge is buried up to its knees by the March snows, which over the past week packed on up to nine feet of snow. According to mammothmountain.com, this has been the snowiest March ever on record.
Mammoth High School should know if it becomes one of California's Distinguished Schools within the "next few weeks" according to district superintendent Rich Boccia.
The announcement, which Boccia said he expects will reveal a "positive outcome" comes on the heels of a state team of administrators that visited the school earlier in March for the formal on-site visitation required by the application process.
"The team spent the day visiting the school, which included an opening meeting with the staff, a meeting with the leadership team and classroom visits," Boccia said.
When Mammoth resident Christian Fuller sits down Monday night at Snowcreek Athletic Club to play 12 simultaneous games of chess with players ranging in age from seven to 77, don't expect him to lose.
In that room will be everyone from a fifth grade Mammoth Elementary student to someone in their 70s, most students that Fuller has been teaching over the past year since he moved to Mammoth to train as a long distance runner.
Fuller, best known as a winning long distance runner, has also been playing chess competitively as long as he's been running – and winning at both.
When Kelly Bahr became an animal care volunteer for Eastern Sierra Wildlife Care she never imagined she would do physical therapy on a Golden eagle.
But a few weeks ago, she did just that. The eagle was rescued from the shoulder of Hwy. 6 on Matthew Hill midway between Hammil and Benton.
On admission, the female eagle had tightly clenched talons and could only stand on her hocks. While working to find the cause of this problem, ESWC Director Cindy Kamler ordered therapy and Bahr helped implement it.
When the news that Mammoth had lost its bid to the state Supreme Court to review the airport lawsuit finally came down Wednesday afternoon, it was as expected as it was deeply disappointing.
The court typically only hears about five percent of the cases that reach its doors. But Mammoth had hoped to buck that percentage, arguing that the outcome of the case would negatively affect the ability of cities and counties across the state to do business with developers.
But the Court didn't see it that way.
As Big Pine residents mourned the loss of homes and property due to a windblown fire this past weekend, Mammoth residents – already buried after a winter that has dumped 44.7 feet (561 inches) of snow on the higher elevations – are waiting out another three to four feet of the white stuff that's expected to fall by Sunday night.
When Mammoth headed into the second storm of the week early Thursday, it was only 17 inches from becoming the biggest snowfall winter on record – 578.5 inches set in 2005-06 – and it's not over yet.

When Kelly Bahr became an animal care volunteer for Eastern Sierra Wildlife Care, she never imagined she would do physical therapy on a Golden eagle. But a few weeks ago, she did just that. The Golden eagle was rescued from the shoulder of Highway 6 on Matthew Hill, mid-way between Hammil and Benton. On admission, the female eagle had tightly clenched talons and could only stand on her hocks. While working to find the cause of this problem, ESWC Director Cindy Kamler ordered therapy and Kelly helped implement it.
All roads into Yosemite National Park have reopened this morning, pending weather and safety along the roadways. This includes park entrances via Highways 120, 140, and 41.
The park is open to visitors until 7:00 p.m. this evening. Reservations for rooms in the park will be honored this evening. The Hetch Hetchy Road and the Badger Pass Road will remain closed until further notice.
Yosemite National Park will be fully open to the public beginning tomorrow, Friday, March 25. Again, this is contingent upon the weather and safety on the roads.
The Center Fire that started outside of Big Pine Friday night burned 19 structures, including homes, and 850 acres before it was considered "contained" or out, last night.
The cause of the fire is still unknown.
As many as 400 fire fighters were assigned to the fire over the weekend, although the wind-whipped flames did most of their damage Friday night.
CalFire's website is one of the best places to get the latest data on the fire; http://cdfdata.fire.ca.gov/incidents/incidents_details_info?incident_id=482
Here's the latest update from CalFire, filed Sunday night at 7 p.m.
Are we ready? It's hard not to ask that question, watching the destruction, fear and grief facing Japan.
Deep down, Mammoth holds a large and uncomfortable resemblance to that island country, although the surfaces of the two areas couldn't be more different.
Unstable bedrock, an unquiet volcanic past; more than many places in the country, the Eastern Sierra shares a certain geological kinship with Japan. All that's missing is the sea – and many millions of people.
But a big quake? Sure. A volcano? Sure. Both are inevitable, scientists tell us. Someday.

Hilton Worldwide announced today a partnership with Special Olympics through 2014. In Athens, Greece, for the start of the World Summer Games 2011, (L-R) famed photographer Richard Corman; Paul Brown, president, global brands and commercial services for Hilton Worldwide; Michelle Kwan, two-time Olympic medalist; David Egan, Special Olympics athlete; Tim Shriver, chairman, board of directors and CEO of Special Olympics; and J. Brady Lum, president and COO of Special Olympics; celebrate the occasion at the Hilton Athens Hotel. As part of the partnership, Hilton Worldwide will sponsor a traveling photo exhibit by Corman called "Celebrating Special Olympics" which will travel to five cities around the world.
Company Celebrates Partnership with Two-Time Olympic Medalist Michelle Kwan and
"Celebrating Special Olympics" Traveling Photography Exhibit
McLEAN, Va. – Hilton Worldwide today announced that the company is the official hotel sponsor of the Special Olympics World Summer Games 2011 in Athens, Greece, and of Special Olympics International through 2014. To celebrate the partnership, two-time Olympic medalist Michelle Kwan announced today that Hilton Worldwide will launch the "Celebrating Special Olympics" traveling photography exhibit, a set of exclusive displays featuring images from famed photographer Richard Corman.
"Hilton Worldwide's global reach and industry-leading brands make it a natural partner for Special Olympics, and we are thrilled to be able to work with the company as our official hotel sponsor for the 2011 World Summer Games," said Timothy Shriver, Chairman and CEO of Special Olympics.
To support Special Olympics and its mission, Hilton Worldwide will also donate 75 million Hilton HHonors points to the organization and provide discounted accommodations to Special Olympics constituents attending events such as the World Games. In addition, for each person that "likes" the Hilton HHonors Facebook page (www.facebook.com/HiltonHHonors) during the 2011 Special Olympics World Summer Games, Hilton Worldwide will donate one hundred Hilton HHonors points to Special Olympics (up to one million points).
"We are honored to partner with the Special Olympics World Summer Games 2011 in Athens," said Chris Nassetta, President and Chief Executive Officer, Hilton Worldwide. "We are eager to support some of the world's best athletes in their aspirations to compete and achieve personal success, and encourage our team members and guests to share in our efforts."
Richard Corman's "Celebrating Special Olympics" will begin its tour at the Hilton Athens on June 24 and will travel the globe making stops at select properties within the Hilton Worldwide portfolio of hotel brands. Corman is known for his admiration of Special Olympics, and his recently published book, I AM PROUD, is dedicated to Special Olympics athletes. Following the completion of the tour, the photos will be auctioned off with all proceeds benefitting Special Olympics.
Also through the exclusive partnership, Hilton Worldwide guests will be able to donate Hilton HHonors points to the organization.
Special Olympics was founded in 1968 by the late Eunice Kennedy Shriver and has evolved into a global movement dedicated to empowering individuals with intellectual disabilities to reinforce their self-esteem, to discover their special abilities, and in this way become active members of their societies primarily through sports training and competition. From June 25 to July 4, 2011 in Athens, 7,000 of the world's greatest Special Olympics athletes from nearly 180 nations will compete in 22 Olympic-type sports.
"Joining the Special Olympics movement allows Hilton Worldwide to act on our vision to fill the earth with the light and warmth of hospitality," said Paul Brown, President of Global Brands and Commercial Services. "It also builds on the actions of company founder Conrad Hilton, whose spirit of generosity and belief that travel and hospitality could be powerful tools to bridge cultures continues to drive our actions as a company today."

Midwest Living Review
One of the newest high-end restaurants in Indianapolis, Black Market is the brainchild of restaurateur Ed Rudisell, who also owns Siam Square, and chef Micah Frank, a former sous chef at R Bistro. Situated at the far end of the Mass Ave arts district, literally across the street from R Bistro, Black Market serves up high-end Midwestern comfort food with influences from France, Germany and Asia. The menu changes daily, but one constant is the pickle plate, a small plate/appetizer selection that might include anything from pickled blueberries to pickled parsnips. The duck buns, an appetizer favorite, consist of three yeast rolls stuffed with shredded duck confit and caramelized onions topped with hoisin mustard. Fantastic. Entree options vary. The shrimp and grits reminded us of our Southern roots: creamy and cheesy polentalike grits topped with a slice of thick-cut bacon. Though well-prepared, the sauerkraut and sausage platter, with an enormous sausage, a bratwurst and a pile each of sauerkraut and mashed potatoes, was a bit heavy for our tastes. For dessert, we had the delicious campfire shortbread, essentially a gourmet s'more with salted chocolate ganache, bourbon marshmallows and bits of peanut brittle. It was the star of the meal -- until we tried the bread pudding. Dense, moist and soft, the pudding was smothered in a sweet and slightly tangy passionfruit caramel sauce -- out-of-this-world delicious. If you see that on the menu, don't even think about skipping it. Through special monthly brunches featuring guest chefs and fixed menus, Black Market offers diners a great way to connect with fellow foodies at the communal table and get a sneak peek at the next hot restaurant in town.

... and now let's make this even funnier by bringing in windowed borderless fullscreen mode!
Or wait, wouldn't this fix some problems because then the game actually runs in a window?
This is something I hate about games on Windows as much as Linux. Please don't ever change my resolution for me. Your game should run at 1080p without issue... and if it can't, give me the choice (Before you change resolution) or put your game in a box with black border around it. Please don't automatically assume I want to run a game at 640x480 (Esp if it was written anywhere after 2005)
... and now let's make this even funnier by bringing in windowed borderless fullscreen mode!

Ummm... you are advocating making games slower? Linux is already bad performance wise. The interface idea sounds like it will tell KDE or other window managers that a resolution change is temporary and should save the location of its widgets, so that it can restore them when the change is over. That would take 4 integers per widget, with no performance hit for gaming.Performance wise this could get a little heavy however it could fix a ton of problems so I say stability first, performance second.
Windowed mode for many games, makes the game .... worse. Any game with scrolling (rts, strategy, anything with a scene bigger than the window.), menus that pop up when the cursor is at the edge of the screen (Sim games, theme hospital, etc) and any game with ui elements near the minimize and exit buttons on the window(you can accidently minimize and exit) would have serious issues with being played in a windowed mode. Not to mention its ugly (immersion matters!). Windowed mode is not an option for most games.

It's nice seeing people trying to address Linux problems and yes, this bug, which is now many years old (in fact it's as old as the X system itself), is mentioned over there:
"X.org doesn't automatically switch between desktop resolutions if you have a full screen application with a custom resolution running."
What a "surprise" that Martin Gräßlin of all the people is opposing this. I really don't get his problem. He doesn't ever admit anything being wrong with KDE or KWin. Now he extends his anti-constructive attitude outside KDE.
So, I'm not going to join that mailing list just for this discussion, and Martin may never read this thread, but as others have said, Martin's arguments are just not valid unless you have KDE blinkers on. On the odd chance that he stops by, or someone else cares, my thoughts...
This says KDE is broken and should be fixed, and the proposal to hand resolution changes off to the WM first provides a path for this - _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN_EXCLUSIVE triggers workspace state save, followed by resolution change. When the application terminates or unsets _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN_EXCLUSIVE, reset to previous resolution and restore workspace state.Originally Posted by Martin
Why are windows being maximized in the first place under these conditions? Another KDE problem.Originally Posted by Martin
Seems to provide a pretty good path to solving the problem, as above. And drivers crashing? Yes, things will go wrong at that point, live with it.Originally Posted by Martin
KDE has probably the worst resolution handling of any DE, check the KDE bug tracker for all the ways it's deficient, and maybe take this as an opportunity to fix those issues too (no memory of previous settings for external monitors meaning manual configuration every time a monitor is (dis)connected, no auto-configuration of external monitors on attach/detach, no reduction in virtual desktop size on disabling of a monitor meaning logout or shutdown is required to return desktop to normal functionality, etc). To say anything is 'nicely' handled by krandr is a joke.Originally Posted by Martin
The biggest joke of all. It's obvious that Martin does not play games, but windowed gaming removes all immersion, and not all hardware is capable of running all games at full native screen resolution (which is really the only reason anyone wants to change resolution when playing a game - to solve poor performance). The idea others have mentioned of doing software scaling is not really a solution for this very reason - that will suck additional processing in the very circumstance where the hardware is already struggling.Originally Posted by Martin

On my gaming pc (which runs windows), I always run games in borderless windowed mode if they have that option. combines some of the advantages of fullscreen mode and windowed mode, allows for instant alt tabbing, and removes tearing without a big performance hit (Although from what I see with the current state of some linux compositors they may give a bigger hit than aero)
That solution (resampling each frame before displaying it) will slow things down, though. Resizing 2 MPixels with something reasonable (bicubic interpolation, for example) is not the most expensive operation in the world, but if you do it 30x per second it is not negligable.
BTW, I agree that KDE should fix the resizing problem.
People change resolutions, period. At least for some of them, this is necessary. I have a multi-seat setup, where the two seats use monitors with different resolutions (I don't need to buy a new monitor, I have two perfectly fine ones, so I use that -- they just happen to have different native resolutions). I often change the seat, depending on which one is free at the moment (somebody else from the household might be using my preferred seat).
Each time I do this, it messes up the panel and widget configuration.
It's not just a "gaming" problem. It's a legitimate gripe for many people. I understand that it's a technical challenge for Plasma, the way it is coded right now, but it's still a legitimate gripe.
been using KDE 4.8.5 and this SUCKS the same as Gnome 3. no wonder that the linux desktop is broken. Hopefully with wayland and some good DE tailored on wayland will have better response.

The flabby belly fat on a woman that is located below the belly button and above the cunt. Also known as the gunt. Typically, this unsightly part of the female anatomy is seen on women that are over weight. It may even correspond to the muffin top if said over weight woman is wearing a particularly tight pants.
That chick's bellygina makes her look like she's pregnant with squirrels.

Deciding on the perfect colors for your teenager's room can be a bit tricky. Unlike the other rooms in your home, your teen will usually have very strong feelings about what you do to his or her personal space. This is definitely an area where you need to proceed with caution and collect as much input as you can before you begin. Better yet, pull your son or daughter into the project and use the opportunity to teach a little about the wonderful world of color. The following general guidelines can help you understand how the typical teenager thinks:
Is your daughter ultra feminine, or 'girlie'? Pinks or lavenders with white furniture, colorful bedding and sparkly sequined accents will feel just right. Is she an 'old soul' who loves classics and antiques? Consider shabby chic cotton-candy pinks, light greens and white as a neutral. How about using a floral rug as a focal point and drawing your wall colors from it? Some teens are mature beyond their years. Consider deep reds and muted golds for a cosmopolitan, sophisticated look. The combination of lime green walls with black furniture and white accessories has a modern, contemporary feeling. Throw in some geometric patterns in a bright color to add even more energy to the room. Fun-loving daughters may want to add some huge polka dots to their interior room colors. Vibrant blues and pinks with contemporary bedding in a coordinating pattern will be exciting and interesting. Today's creative girls may be drawn to the energy of bright orange tempered with a pale shade of green or purple.
Boys tend to be minimalists. While they may not always be as neat as you would like, they don't want a lot of clutter or busyness on their bedroom walls. Some prefer stark white walls to colorful ones. If so, add some black furniture and accessories and pops of a single bright color such as red, royal blue or grass green. Perhaps your son prefers that his bedroom is a quiet retreat from the craziness of the rest of the world. He might enjoy the paint colors that include the earthier tones of greens, browns and beiges. If your teen wants more drama, consider deep blue and electric orange with beige and white accents. Darker, bolder colors tend to add energy to a room. Sports lovers may want their room to reflect their favorite sport or team. Pull out a dominant color for the walls, add an appropriate sports border and some matching bedding, and the room will be beautifully transformed.
If you are the parent of a teenager, take the time to discuss your child's preferences before you start buying paint. Involve your teen in the process of choosing interior colors and decorating accessories, and you may be pleasantly surprised at the satisfying results.

INDY RECORD: 11 top-10 finishes including six top-five's in 19 starts. Has finished second twice.
LOOKING AHEAD: Martin hopes to follow in Brian Vickers' footsteps and put the 55 car in victory lane this weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. "Man, what an awesome thing for Brian and Rodney (Childers, crew chief), Aaron's and everyone at MWR," said Martin. "I was watching on television but I felt like I was driving along with Brian in the closing laps. It was nerve wracking. It was just an awesome moment for everyone here. I've enjoyed my time off, but I'm ready to go again. No doubt about it, an Indianapolis win would be special. We can do it."
LOOKING BACK: Brian Vickers drove the 55 car at Loudon and won the race after passing Tony Stewart for the lead with 16 laps to go.
ETC.: Vickers' victory at New Hampshire Motor Speedway vaulted the 55 team into contention for the owners' championship. "One of the very first things we talked about was racing for an owner's championship; let's shake up the system," said Ty Norris, executive vice president at Michael Waltrip Racing. "We have multiple drivers but if we can win some races and be in a situation where we can run for an owner's championship that can be just as remarkable as running for a driver's championship, so our team has rallied around that."

Pomona State Park came into existence by a lease agreement through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers upon completion of construction of the dam in 1963. Pomona Lake controls watershed runoff from over a 322 square mile area. Controlled releases are made into 110-Mile Creek, which flows into the Marais des Cygnes, Osage and Missouri Rivers. This lake is operated in conjunction with other U.S. Army Corps of Engineers projects, which Congress authorized to be build for flood control in the Missouri and Mississippi River basins.
Located 30 miles south of Topeka on the south shore of Pomona Reservoir, about 1 mile north of K-268 on K-368, north of E. 229
This 490-acre park on the shore of 4,000-acre Pomona Reservoir features scenic beauty as well as an abundance of wildlife. Well-known by northeast Kansas residents for shady campsites and a great family atmosphere, Pomona State Park is in a transition zone from prairie to eastern woodlands and also offers great wildlife viewing. The park is nestled in an area with historical connections to the Santa Fe Trail, as well as easy access to several metropolitan areas.
The lake is popular with water skiers and anglers. Visitors can expect good crappie, catfish, white bass, and wiper fishing.

- How to Read a Study Record
This study is to look at things that may affect whether or not people who are HIV-infected get into medical care and stay in medical care. some of the things that will be examined include how drug use, HIV disease severity, mental health, housing, trust, feelings of discrimination, social support, relationship with provider, and patient's race and provider's race are linked with whether or not people get health care. People who are enrolled in the study will be interviewed once, and their medical records will be examined.

Study Type: | Observational |
Study Design: | Observational Model: Defined Population Time Perspective: Cross-Sectional |
Official Title: | Determinants of Engagement in HIV Primary Care Services Among Black and Hispanic Single Room Occupancy Hotel Residents in New York City |
Estimated Enrollment: | 500 |
Study Start Date: | October 2004 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | June 2005 |
The purpose of this study is to understand the determinants of entry and engagement in HIV primary care services for Blacks and Hispanics living in single room occupancy (SRO) hotels in Bronx and Manhattan, NY. More specifically, the goal is to examine baseline cultural characteristics of the patient, health-related characteristics of the patient, the patient-provider relationship, and the impact of community outreach on engagement in health care. The objectives are to: examine the association between trust, relationship with provider, social support, and health beliefs with engagement in HIV primary care services; examine the association between health-related characteristics and engagement in HIV primary care services; examine the association of perceived cultural concordance between provider and patient with engagement in HIV primary care services; and, explore the relationship between community outreach and entry into HIV primary care services.
We will be recruiting a convenience sample of 500 Black or Hispanic HIV-infected adults living in 14 SRO hotels (transitional emergency housing) in the Bronx and Manhattan, NY. We will be conducting interviews through auditory computer-assisted self-interviewing (A-CASI) technology, using standardized research instruments administered in English or Spanish. We will also be reviewing medical charts and records from Citiwide and Montefiore appointment databases.
Understanding barriers to engagement in HIV primary care will lead to development of culturally relevant interventions to assist Black and Hispanic persons in entering and engaging in HIV treatment. Implementation of these interventions will ultimately help reduce disparities in HIV-related healthcare, as well as reduce HIV morbidity and mortality in Black and Hispanic populations.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- at least 18 years of age, HIV-infected, living in one of 15 different single room occupancy hotels in New York City, English or Spanish speaking
Exclusion Criteria:
- HIV-negative
