River Maps: Middle Ohio River
The central portion of the Ohio River watershed, rendered as an urban transit network. The demands of my atlas project mean that I have to take very busy watersheds like the Ohio and divide them into multiple maps. Either that or I have to cut a lot of detail out, and that would be no fun. This map covers the portions of the Ohio from the confluence with the Scioto to where it receives the Beaver river.
This map features the following rivers, creeks, (etc.): Ohio (part), Scioto (part), Big Sandy & Levisa, Guyandotte, Kanawha & New, Elk, Bluestone, Greenbrier, Hocking, Little Kanawha, Muskingum & Tuscarawas, Walhonding & Mohican, Beaver & Shenango (part).

10% of the profits I earn from the sale of prints will be donated to organizations that protect and restore some of the watersheds seen in this river map series.
Important: Zazzle, the company which does my prints, will let you shrink the map down from the original size if you ask, but I cannot guarantee it will look good if you do.

Organizing with Garage Shelving
At first glance, garage shelving may seem large and space-consuming, but each unit can truly offer countless benefits. Sam's Club stocks a wide selection of shelving units in a variety of styles, sizes, and colors to meet all of your needs. Many of these options can be customized to fit different box sizes and the available areas in your garage.
Beginning with low level shelving, Sam's Club provides 2-level options ideal for greenhouses or work spaces in the garage. Tools along with small appliances and other handy accessories can easily be organized on a workbench such as the Gorilla Rack. Crafted from a steel black frame and particle board the Gorilla Rack is a great option for the fix-it enthusiast.
Other garage shelving and storage options include bin styles or 3-4 level units available in galvanized steel or black finishes to name a few options. Three level shelving can be utilized for larger items that should not be placed on high levels. They are also useful for stocking smaller items such as everyday supplies or products.
Four level shelving allows you to store items at a variety of levels with the option to adjust shelves to different heights. Simple assembly and easy to move shelves make these a great option for any garage storage area.
With trusted names such as Edsal and Gorilla Rack you can be assured you are shopping quality products at Sam's Club's affordable prices.

Journal Register Co. puts its employees on needles and pins
Blog Entry:
February 20, 2013 11:56 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
These are not the best of times to be working in the newspaper business, but it's
particularly nerve-wracking
, it seems, to be an employee of
Journal Register Co.
, the company that publishes
The (Lake County) News-Herald
The (Lorain) Morning Journal
The New Haven (Conn.) Register
, a Journal Register newspaper, reports that the sole bidder in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy auction of the Yardley, Pa.-based company "will decide which of the company's employees it wants to retain" as the sale moves forward.
"A letter has been sent to all of the company's employees explaining that when 21st CMH Acquisition Co. completes its acquisition of JRC, it will be up to the new owner which of JRC's existing employees it wants to hire," according to the Connecticut newspaper.
The sale is expected to close on or about April 17. 21st CMH Acquisition is a subsidiary of Alden Global Capital LLC, which is the owner of Journal Register.
This Associated Press story
puts the purchase price at around $120 million.
The New Haven Register
quotes Jonathan Cooper, vice president of media relations and employee communication for Digital First Media, which jointly manages Journal Register and MediaNews Group, as saying, "The notices sent to all Journal Register Co. employees — from part-time staffers to managers to the executive team — are the next step in the company's ongoing sale process." Mr. Cooper said he "could not speak for the new owners regarding whether the company's employees would have to reapply for their jobs," according to the newspaper.
The process that JRC is going through "is quite common in bankruptcy proceedings," John Collard, chairman of Strategic Management Partners, an Annapolis, Md.-based business turnaround firm, tells
The New Haven Register
"When somebody buys a company out of bankruptcy, they are buying a specific list of assets, usually not 100 percent of what the existing business has," Mr. Collard tells the newspaper. "While they can purchase assets, it's not possible to purchase employees. So the acquiring company comes to employees and offers them the same terms they had with the old company or different terms."
He says it's likely that 21st CMH Acquisition Co. will not retain all of the Journal Register employees.
Journal Register last September sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for the second time in three years.
At the time, Journal Register CEO John Paton
wrote on his blog
that Journal Register exited its previous bankruptcy, in 2009, "with approximately $225 million in debt and with a legacy cost structure, which includes leases, defined benefit pensions and other liabilities that are now unsustainable and threaten the company's efforts for a successful digital transformation."
Journal Register has newspapers and websites in 10 states. Its two Cleveland-area newspapers have a total of about 200 employees.
This and that
The appeal of apparel:
A Cleveland clothing company is part of a
new strategy
for the struggling U.S. Postal Service.
The USPS on Tuesday announced plans to come out with a line of clothing and accessories, called "Rain Heat & Snow." It licensed its unofficial motto to Cleveland-based
Wahconah Group Inc.
, which will design the line of accessories and apparel, according to CNNMoney.com.
The website reports that it's a victory for the cash-strapped Postal Service, which will get "a small percentage of sales," according to Isaac Crawford, CEO of the Wahconah Group. He tells CNNMoney.com that the agency won't have to pay a dime to produce the line; his company will finance it.
Rain Heat & Snow will release a line for men by spring 2014, which will be sold in premier department and specialty stores, according to the story. A line for women also is in the works.
"You're talking about an American legacy," Mr. Crawford says. "We're hoping it will be very successful."
No. 101 never felt so good:
He doesn't really need more accolades, but chef Michael Symon's
restaurant in Cleveland has landed on a list of the country's 101 best restaurants compiled by
The Daily Meal
that the website's editors, headed by the food writer Colman Andrews, enlisted 174 judges to come up with a shortlist. They then voted, based on cuisine, region and factors such as the level of formality and buzz and the prices, according to Bloomberg.
Lola grabbed the last slot available — No. 101. It's the only Ohio restaurant on the list, which is dominated by restaurants in California and New York.
The survey lists The French Laundry in Yountville, Calif., as the finest restaurant in the United States, followed by Gramercy Tavern and Le Bernardin in New York.
But it's not just a list of fancy places. No. 10 on the list is Shake Shack in New York.
Guess that's a no:
that the head of U.S. tiremaker Titan launched "a vitriolic attack on French productivity" after the country's socialist government suggested he buy a tire factory in the north of France that Akron-based
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
plans to close.
"Do you think we are that stupid?" wrote Maurice Taylor, in a letter to French Industry Minister Arnaud Montebourg, obtained by French business newspaper Les Echos. (Goodyear reported in January that it will close the unprofitable plant, putting around 1,000 workers out of jobs.)
In his letter to Mr. Montebourg, Mr. Taylor "left no doubt as to why he did not want to buy the factory," according to CNBC.com.
"I have visited this factory several times," he wrote. "The French employees are highly paid, but they only work for three hours. They take one hour for breaks and lunch, talk for three hours, and work for three hours. I said this directly to the French unions. They replied: 'That is how it is in France.'"

When you fart in a co-workers desk drawer without them knowing, then you come up to them later and ask them to open it up to give you a salt or sugar or ketchup packet or maybe even lend you a writing implement. They open the drawer and POOF, surprise, farts in their face!

Do you prefer the more serious Freddy Krueger from the original Nightmare on Elm Street or the one liner spouting slice ya then make fun of ya Freddy Krueger from the later Elm Street installments?
I guess I already gave my thoughts on the matter with my little intro there. To me, there is nothing better than the Freddy who cracks jokes, appears in rap videos, and has yo yo's and talking dolls made in his likeness. Such things may make him less scary but they're the things that seperated him from all the other horror villains out there and they're the things that always drew me to him as a kid and still draw me to him to this day. Above all else, Freddy is just plain entertaining and that's a large part of his appeal for me. The Freddy that spouts one liners before or after dissecting his victims is the one I know and love and that's where Englund always shined the brightest in the role. As far as i'm concerned, it was always the direction the character was headed. It reminds me of the Evil Dead trilogy and how some folks bash the two sequels because they were more comedy based and thus, were no longer scary. Well to me, Evil Dead is at its best when it's funny and the same goes for Freddy and the Elm Street series. Now don't get me wrong, the original Elm Street is one of my favorite horror movies of all time and I am very much looking forward to seeing a darker vision of the dream demon in the remake, but nothing will ever top the wise cracking prankster Freddy for me. That version of Freddy is the only version of Freddy in my eyes.
Do you prefer funny or serious Freddy? Leave a comment and let me know!

I doubt T/T can stay on the podium,if S/S and P/T skate relatively clean, they should hang on to their positions with V/T in third place. I do think S/H could manage to be in top 5 if they skate similar to their 4cc performance.
I doubt T/T can stay on the podium,if S/S and P/T skate relatively clean, they should hang on to their positions with V/T in third place. I do think S/H could manage to be in top 5 if they skate similar to their 4cc performance.
Guys, really, how hard is it to follow the guidelines. Especially the one where we DO NOT ATTACK FELLOW POSTERS!? Take your issues off the board.
For Narumi T and Mervin T, it's only their second year on senior circuit.
Great job done. I am happy for them getting their very first small medal in the Championships.
We all agree that their technical level is nowhere near other top teams yet.
But, please do not get too hard on Narumi and Mervin.
Their programs this season appear polished and well-choreographed, look lovely together with better unison. While Narumi is still tiny, they look very 'senior' now, and they must have worked so hard coming to this Worlds, especially Narumi on her jumps, I suppose.
Now they face the fact they have to skate last in the Free, too nerve-recking (a pimp spot, do you say?), I doubt they could have even got to sleep last night...
A podium finish is not likely to happen, but here is my hoping for Narumi and Mervin:
You should feel proud of yourselves to get to skate in the final flight of the Worlds for the first time, enjoy skating in front of huge audience with lots of cheers for you, do not be afraid of making mistakes and go all for it!
For Pairs free skate later today, here is my hoping:
No more wierd falls, skating god, PLEASE.
Fair judging, judges, PLEASE.
My very best wishes for all the teams, and may the best team win!
After seeing more falls in both parts of the Dance event than I have in Dance over a five year period, all I want is for everyone to get through the LP's tomorrow safe and sound!!
cool down ...
everything is sooooooooooooooo close.....
i think if u take risks (D/R 3Lutz, S/S 3ATh, B/L 3FTh) u can make some mistakes or falls... they re still valueable...
my dream podium
realistic podium
chinese + russian fed would have 3 spots for next worlds
germany with H/W (15th) and V/vC (16th) i don t think so.... can u help me?
Couldn't agree with you more--it makes the viewing of the competition so much more enjoyable if there are few falls and other errors (and no inexplicable scores).
I'm just pulling for T/T since Mervin was born in my hometown, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. LOL
Good luck to all the Pairs teams today!!
Nope - to get 3 spots, with 2 skaters at this championships, their total must be 13 or less (so 8th and 5th or 1st and 12th or...). If you have one skater only and they finish top 2 or 3 (can't remember - haven't used this one in a while!), then that country could send 3 the next year!

? Share a...
Now review from the App.
Here's what others have to say...
Chris jenney
Comfort and Warmth
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Neoprene waders are a thing of the past, so to stay warm in my Redington Super Dry waders, i wear the I/O fleece pants. They are warm, have a zipper back pocket so you dont lose valuables, and the foot have stirrups. Nothing worse than pulling up your waders and having your pants ride all the way up., the stirrups prevent this and make a day on the river all the more comfortable.

Great to stay warm
Got these for the hunting season work perfect

I lived in that area for 18 years, before I moved away to college. I can tell you that 10 years ago, there were serious drug and gang related problems. It wasn't "just a little pot." It was a very scary place to grow up. I'm so glad to hear that someone who is in a position to do something is beginning to address the issue.
I have my own theories for why no one else seems to have identified the problem. VERY FEW of these drug addicts are going to tell a teacher or school counselor straight up that they are using these drugs. They aren't even going to hint at it. In fact, this student would avoid the school counselor at all costs for fear that they would get "caught." They hide it as much as they can. So the well-meaning cop posed as school counselor would never realize how bad the problem was.
The only way to get at an accurate figure is to talk to the students. When I went to Westwind, everyone knew who the gang-bangers were. Everyone. There was no question. But the teachers had absolutely no clue. The kid who punched the lunch lady? No, he was not in a gang. He was trying to gain acceptance by the gang, whose members are not nearly so stupid as to so openly declare themselves in such a manner.

Learn on the frontlines of health care in exotic locations such as Nepal; Mumbai, India; Jamaica; Ecuador; Cambodia; Ghana; Swaziland; and Tanzania.

House says concealed carry licenses from other states OK in OregonPublished: Monday, March 21, 2011, 5:19 PMThe Oregon House voted Monday to throw out the welcome mat for out-of-state visitors packing heat and concealed weapons permits.On a vote of 40 to 17, the chamber approved a bill that would allow people who have permits from other states to carry concealed guns while visiting Oregon.Two former law enforcement agents Democratic Rep. Jeff Barker, D-Aloha, and Republican Rep. Wayne Krieger, R-Gold Beach carried the bill, which now goes to the Senate for approval.Currently, Oregon doesn't recognize licenses issued by any other state, though a license from this state is honored in just over a dozen others.This is the second piece of legislation concerning concealed handguns to pass through the House in a week. A bill blocking the release of information about who carries concealed weapons passed on Thursday by slightly larger margins.While the law is aimed at license holders from other states, it could also potentially open the door to reciprocity with some 37 states in all, said Krieger.

One of the first apps I put on my new ipad was Night Raider.
I just had the update for the new HD version a few days ago.
Although I suck at the game (but getting better) I still like it a lot.
I got hooked playing it on Patty's ipod.
Don really sucks as he is in the 48000 range with his score.
I won't tell you my best score!!
But Don has more time playing the game. BD.

Republicans in Illinois say they're anxious to pick a candidate to run in the general election.
Southwestern Illinois retiree Gary Ledford says he always votes and was among the first to show up at a Godfrey polling place today morning.
The 67-year-old says he's fed up with Illinois' indebtedness and change is on his mind. He voted for state Sen. Kirk Dillard for governor and political newcomer Erika Harold in the congressional race against incumbent Rep. Rodney Davis.
He said he expects people to vote because of concern about the federal health care overhaul.
In northern Illinois, 63-year-old Reid Reynolds said he felt Republicans have "a good opportunity" to win November's general election if they select a strong candidate today.
The Hinsdale man says Illinois is "a disaster."

Patrón Silver Tequila
Review: Patrón Silver Tequila 84.5/100
a review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Posted on April 16, 2012
Patron Silver Tequila is a pure 100% Agave Tequila made from agave grown in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. The Agave is 6 to 7 years old when harvested, and the heart of the plant or the piña is all that is used. These piñas are cut and slowly steamed in masonry ovens for 79 hours. The steamed piñas are then shredded and placed into a traditional stone pit, where they are broken (or shredded) into finer pieces with a large stone milling wheel called a Tahona. The resulting juice is then fermented for 72 hours in a wooden fermentation vat, and distilled twice in copper pot stills.
As a highland tequila,we can expect the Patron Tequila to exhibit strong fruity citrus notes and to have a little hot pepper in the delivery and the finish. The company was created in 1989 when John Paul DeJoria, and Martin Crowley formed The Patrón Spirits Company with the stated singular goal of producing "the best tequila in the world."
In the Bottle 4.5/5
To the left is a J-peg photo of Patrón Silver Tequila provided to me by Diamond Estates Wine and Spirits. The bottle is squat but comfortable, similar in shape to other Tequila bottles I have seen. The labeling is simple but not unattractive. I like that the bottle is sealed with a nice cork which gives me that nice satisfying 'pop' when I open it.
My sample bottle has a little advertising pamphlet around the neck tied in place by that green ribbon. It also arrived in an attractive green cardboard box. Things are nice and I have no real quibbles.
In the Glass 8.5/10
I poured out a sample of the Patrón Silver Tequila into my glencairn glass and began with a good look at the tequila spirit before I began to nose it. It is a clear spirit, and I could detect no hint of colour. I gave the glass a light tilt and a slow swirl and discovered a light sheen of tequila was left on the inside of the glass which slowly disappeared but gave up no legs. This is consistent with my expectations, and I am happy with my observations.
When I brought the glass to my nose, I discovered a light punky agave aroma with a mild white pepper scent rising from the glass. There are some strong notes of citrus in the aroma similar to lemon and lime. The air above the glass appears to be quite fresh and inviting. Over time, a light sweetness builds in the glass. The smells and aromas blend together and become a mixture of light honey and citrus with firm pepper and the light herbaceous tones of agave.
In the Mouth 51/60
The Patrón Silver has a bit of that sharp peppery tequila bite which catches your attention as it crosses the palate. As on the nose, white pepper, lime citrus, punky agave, and a touch of honey are the prominant flavour impressions as you let the spirit sit on your tongue. The earthinesss of the agave takes a bit of a backseat to the peppery spice and citrus zest which is just how a highland tequila is supposed to be. I find the flavour fresh (although spicy), and my feeling is that this silver tequila will work very well in traditional tequila cocktails.
With this in mind, I mixed two cocktails, a Margarita and my own Green Ripper cocktail. I noticed the spicy highland character of the tequila shone through each cocktail, and I found myself enjoying each.
In the Throat 12/15
I think it is safe to say that the Patrón Silver has a traditional highland tequila finish filled with spicy white pepper and hot citrus. It is not overly harsh considering the spice; but, neither is it smooth. Some of the earthy agave is present in the exit, but the citrus and the pepper are definitely much more abundant than the earthy herbaceous agave.
The Afterburn 8.5/10
I have found the Patrón Silver Tequila to be a very traditional spirit which represents its highland character very well, and I admit I had trouble scoring this review, as it felt to me that my scores should be higher for a spirit which possibly has the quintessential flavour profile for its category. Then again my scoring has always been about my enjoyment, rather than my perception of quality. The truth is, that the 'sharp peppery bite' of this spirit is just a little stronger than I personally like. I fully understand that a person with a more experienced tequila palate than mine may find this peppery bite to be just perfect. So my scores in each phase of the review reflect my enjoyment, but for this review in particular, I stress that you read the tasting notes carefully as your enjoyment may be different from mine.

Suggested Recipe:
This cocktail continues my series of Tequila cocktails named after the Travis McGee novels of American author John D. MacDonald. I have always like the Travis McGee novels, and the titles of these novels just seem to me to be particularly well suited to be also the names of great cocktails.
The Long Lavender Look
2 oz Patron Silver Tequila
1 oz Lime Juice
1/2 oz Blueberry Liqueur
1/2 oz Lavender Syrup (see recipe below)
Fresh Blueberries
In a metal shaker add the first four ingredients with ice
Shake until the outside of the shaker frosts
Strain into a tall cocktail glass
Garnish with fresh blueberries
Lavender Syrup 100 ml water15 ml Fresh (or dried) Lavender Flowers
175 ml sugar Place all of the ingredients on the stove in a stainless steel pan
Slowly heat the mixture until the Sugar dissolves
Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes
Remove the pan from the stove and allow everything to cool
Strain the mixture into a small glass bottle
(The Syrup will keep for about four days)
You may (loosely) interpret the scores as follows.
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing Tequila. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, (we are probably still cocktail in territory).
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing delicious cocktails!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

I think paying $80 for tequila is absurd, considering the cost to make it is peanuts. For $80 you could get you a pretty amazing rye or single malt.

Before you strike the match or even set the place where your firewood will burn to produce heat, be sure that you have done everything right and that you have read through your manual. Most wood stove manuals provide extensive guidelines for the best way to get the best out of your wood stove. Let's look at some of the best wood burning practices every homeowner should observe.
Carbon Monoxide Detector
You can install a Carbon Monoxide detector to help you detect the presence of carbon monoxide in the house. It is worth noting that carbon monoxide kills about 500 people each year and another 15,000 people are taken to the emergency rooms. These numbers may prove insignificant until you are one of the 500 dead or the 15000 that seek emergency services.
Wood stoves efficiency
When we are talking about the best wood burning practices, we cannot fail to mention the efficiency of the stoves. The wood stoves should be efficient when it comes to burning wood because this also affects many other things such as the costs of heating the home, emissions and safety. Look for units that are designed using the best industry standards and which are approved by the EPA. In other words, wood stoves have to be optimally designed reach the efficiencies and emissions recommended by the EPA.
Select the best fuel
Choosing the best-designed and high performance unit is not enough. One must also choose the best heat. In order to ensure that you emit the least poisonous gases and get the most heat, you should choose fully seasoned wood, which has dried for at least 6 months. The woods should have at most moisture content of 20%. Thus, seasoned woods burn better and more efficiently, producing the most heat and the least smoke. Basically, you should avoid fresh or green wood because it can waste a lot of time, money and produce excess smoke which promotes excess creosote.
Burn only wood
One can be tempted to burn anything other than wood especially when facing shortage of wood. Actually, burning things other than wood is a bad idea. Non-wood substance, apart from burning poorly, they produce excess emissions into the atmosphere, which may cause a lot of health hazards. Among the things that one should never burn include the following:
- household trash
- papers
- plastics
- Styrofoam
- Painted wood
- Driftwood
- Plywoods
- Dioxins
- Furans
- Organic compounds
Build the Best Fire
Even if you buy the best stove, you still need to build the best fire in order to get the best out of your stove. There is a method to building the best fire and that is by arranging the logs appropriately when building fire. You should make sure the dampers are completely open to encourage free flow of air. You can use dry softwood to start the fire and arrange the woods by sticking one after the other. Now that you have built the fire, it is important to make sure that the fire keeps burning by loading more wood.

The Complexity of Simplicity
Every project I've worked on in my 17-year career has had one thing in common. At some point someone says, "It should be simple."
But what does "simple" actually mean?
People can always tell when something is simple, uncomplicated, elegant, not overworked, or a number of other near-synonyms, but can rarely articulate why something is simple. Because simplicity is inherently subjective, achieving it pretty tricky.
Fortunately, the discipline of experience design has emerged as a means to help the world realize its need for simplicity and what it takes to achieve it.
Ten Principles of Simplicity
Here are ten principles that I've found helpful when trying to ensure something stays simple.
1. Meet expectations
If someone goes to your product or website for a specific reason, make sure that you know the reason for their visit and the user can confirm they are in the right place, instantly.
2. Don't overwhelm people
Humans can (consciously) only process small amounts of information at a time, so if you don't quickly make your point, their attention wanders. My favorite technique for not overwhelming people is progressive disclosure. That's a fancy way to describe showing only a tiny bit of information at a time so people don't become overwhelmed and confused. Here's a fantastic example.
3. Only present a few choices at a time
This is directly related to #2. Studies show that if you give people too many choices, they will "make no choice at all. So, it's often better to remove features rather than add them. Why not focus on creating the minimum viable product, get it to market, then improve on it (or trash it completely in favor of a better solution)? Constantly adding features only ensures your product will never be complete and you'll run out of money, all while confusing the heck out of intended users.
4. No jargon or compu-speak
Talk to people like they are human, and don't mire yourself in jargon. For example, rather than just label a form "Email," how about making the label a bit more personal or in-brand? Wufoo does a great job with their form labels: "Enter your email address so we can get a hold of you. Don't worry. This info is sacred to us. We won't ever sell or abuse it."
5. Consider the abilities of different users
Dr. Jennifer Romano-Bergstrom has done some fascinating research on differences in website usability performance based on users' ages. One thing I found particularly interesting is that older users tend to ignore content that is located in the periphery of a website. Take into account these differences and make sure your product accounts for them.
6. Visual clarity
Clarity in visual design is critical for simplicity. Users assess the credibility of something very quickly, so if there isn't a clear visual hierarchy, people will get confused. But keep in mind, just because something looks simple, doesn't mean it is simple.
7. Understand the problem
Mads Kristensen put it best when he said, "… if you cannot take a step back and get a good feeling for the problem, then you don't understand it enough to see a simple solution … If you don't understand the problem you are trying to solve, then you probably cannot solve it."
8. It's been tested
If someone doesn't want to test something, that person is probably cowardly, lazy, or arrogant (and don't let them play the budget card, you can test things for next to nothing). Creation and objectivity usually don't go hand in hand. You have to test with users.
9. Account for context
How you use something differs greatly depending on the time of day, your location, and your culture. For example, try to think how someone might use your product while in a hurry, or perhaps on an iPhone, or while sharing it with a friend. They might also use it completely differently the second time than the first. Time of day, repetition, cultural nuances, and location all drive the context of how your product will be used. Understand it, it's important.
10. It's not just usable
Just because someone can complete a task, doesn't mean it was a pleasant or easy experience. Be careful not to put too much emphasis on task completion at the expense of a good experience.
How can We Shoot for Simplicity?
Everyone wants stuff that's simple to use, yet simplicity can be very elusive. To find ways to streamline and simplify, it helps to take a look at a project's framework; controlling the expectations and processes makes achieving the desired outcome much easier.
In the video The ROI of User Experience" by Dr. Susan Weinschenk, she highlights three causes for project failure (she also breaks down the value of UX much more eloquently than I can, so be sure to give it a watch). I've cited these (and added a fourth) below, with recommendations on how to address such challenges.
1. Communicate clearly
Lack of clear communication breeds confusion. Establish a project leader and communication process at the onset, be diligent about following it, and keep track of decisions that have been made.
2. Visualize success
Take the time at the front end of a project to define what a successful launch will look like. Answer questions like these to help keep you on the right path: What is the business goal we're trying to achieve? Who is the user, and what are their goals? What does the product actually do and not do?
3. Align your stakeholders
- Make everything matter. It's your job to care about every detail, because if you don't, who will?
- Remove technical debt. The time maintaining an antiquated or poorly constructed system can hamstring future efforts to create simple solutions.
- Keep things from getting bloated. If the people using your product don't need or want something, isn't it just a distraction? Streamline!
- Plan for executive buy in. Stakeholders need to be heard; involve them early on in the process. Good communication and alignment on goals will assure a better end result.
4. Seek outside opinions, because we can't do it all ourselves
I make music, and often I'll write a song that I'm initially thrilled with. After a day or two goes by, I'll return to the song only to be completely underwhelmed with the original recording. Things are always more exciting when we experience them for the first time; as we focus on something, we have less of a visceral reaction to it, second guess ourselves, and lose interest. Get your idea into a prototype quickly, and show it to others.
Perhaps the easiest thing one can do to ensure simplicity is to constantly ask, "Why?"
- Why are we adding this?
- Why are we taking this away?
- Why would users care?
- Why would people share this?
- Why will people do this?
- Why can they do this?
- Why will they still do this?
- Why aren't we testing this?
The smallest details can make the biggest difference. If you come to an impasse, ask the person who's been designated as the leader to make a decision and move on. You can always test your hypothesis later.
That's Simple
Complex is easy, simple is hard. But, with intense focus, good communication, clarity, and bravery, getting there doesn't have to be so difficult.
Einstein said it best: "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius—and a lot of courage—to move in the opposite direction."

This is a great article and it's nice to see colleagues willing to stand up and say "more is less." Not surprisingly, clients don't always see it that way.
An interesting aspect to the complexity discussion is the idea that for a product (or site) to evolve it must add features/functionality. I read an interesting article once laying this out for software development. If we use Microsoft Word as an example lets say that 80% of users use about 20% of the available functionality. That means that 80% of the functions available in Word aren't used. Ever. But to create a perception of value new features are added with every version.
New features add complexity to the software both in the source code and user experience. Common sense might dictate that you could effectively remove features, concentrate on making the frequently used functions more accessible thus making the application more efficient and faster. However, that would be a tough sell to consumers who view the additional features as value-added even though they never use them, or even know what they are.
In ecommerce it's a similar story. In an attempt to differentiate ourselves from competitors, there's a constant pressure from the business to add features (complexity). It's a conundrum for UX folks who want to simplify the experience at the same time they're pressured to expand the feature set. The business views the additional features/interactions as potential revenue enhancers and it's difficult to prove causation vs correlation one way or the other.
Anyway, the moral of the story is balancing business needs/wants with UX needs is tricky. You're article provides a nice summary of the complexity issue and ways to minimize their impact.
One aspect of "simplicity" that I think often gets ignored is that in making something appear simple, you can in fact make it more complicated for people trying to make a decision about whether to spend the time investigating it. This may be why achieving simplicity is elusive - because quite often simplicity isn't what most designers think it is.
This is one of the reasons why link-rich home pages, for example, generally do better when it comes to bounce rates and conversion metrics than "simple" home pages that don't offer clues to what's inside. With the exception of very well-known brands, it's rare to see a visually "simple" home or landing page survive for long once the metrics come in. A real-world analogy is in high street retail: given the choice between a shop with a window showing some things you might like the look of, and a shop with just a door and nothing else - which do you think gets more footfall? Note that you don't have to see people acting on the "extra" bits in a design (any more than you are necessarily going to buy that exact jacket in the shop window) - it's the "information scent" that's important.
Awesome! this is very beautiful! we are getting closer between web and software development
Good job!
The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak by looking on the context and focusing on the content. Simplicity is about having a deep understanding and appreciation of the users you are trying to assist, about having a great understanding of the subject matter you are trying to communicate.
