Design Patterns: Download Buttons
- By Sven Lennartz
- November 3rd, 2006
- 14 Comments
In the era of Web 2.0 download-buttons are becoming more and more important. Grey and simple few years ago, now they've become bigger, more colourful and come in dozens of variations. As the name says, download buttons are supposed to motivate visitors to use, or at least try the product which is offered on the site. Consequently, also visual appearance of download buttons has changed.
Usually a simple text entry is sufficient for a navigation bar. However, designer often combine plain text with small "download"-related icons – an example from redhat.de can be found below.
Most arrows have the direction to the bottom or to the right (digitalvisit.de).
The same here (formac.nl).
A more complex solution is presented on camfrog.com, however, the visual presentation is definitely more usable and attractive and – more importantly – the button is easier to find on the page.
This online-shop uses for every offered product a group of accompanying Icons (vso-software.fr)
The support of both Windows, Mac and Linux is usually emphasized by integrating logotypes in the download buttons (pando.com)
Similar visual solution, but different approach – both multilingual release and stable release can be downloaded immediately, without need to view any further web-pages (caminobrowser.org)
Since download buttons are gaining more weight, they are usually placed in the middle of the page and surrounded by a plenty of white space. Trying to achieve the attention of potential customuers, designers use new techniques and colourful solutions. Especially big buttons are trendy. They can be found everywhere.
Decorated with nice illistruation and arrow in button-look (webkit.opendarwin.org/).
The same concept here (gdisk.sourceforge.net)
and here… (webaroo.com).
A more simple solution (deepnetexplorer.com).
A decorative button in the style of 90s. Not usual, but still worth mentioning. (lookoutsoft.com).
Attractive dowlnload buttons should't be overlooked and therefore have to be eye-catching. Could you overlook that one? (last.fm).
Huge Buttons. Again. (browster.com).
And again. (turboajax.com/turbodbadmin).
Sometimes even with a slanted styling (sceneo.tv).
Summing up, the current trends in web-design present download-elements in a particularly impressive way. Buttons have to catch visitors' attention and therefore are sometimes not only obtrusive, but even aggressive. The product isn't hidden, which makes sanes if it is the main aspect a developer is concerned about. Consequently, the place for download-buttons is chosen properly – of couse, in the middle of the page.

Q: How much does it cost to fuel a plug-in hybrid?
A: The Department of Energy has a calculator at fueleconomy.gov that shows a 2013 Chevrolet Volt driven 12,000 miles per year without access to charging while away from home would use $321 in electricity - assuming Louisville's average residential rate of 9 cents per kilowatt hour.
The Volt, which uses a gasoline engine as a backup in case the electric batteries run down, would go through 43 gallons - $170 at $3.92 per gallon. Other models rely on the gasoline engine more. The Toyota Prius plug-in hyrid, for example, would go through 168 gallons of gasoline and use less electricity than the Volt, according to the Energy Department calculator.

There is an abundance of information about drugs available on the Web. Data sources range from medicinal chemistry results, over the impact of drugs on gene expression, to the outcomes of drugs in clinical trials. These data are typically not connected together, which reduces the ease with which insights can be gained. Linking Open Drug Data (LODD) is a task force within the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Health Care and Life Sciences Interest Group (HCLS IG). LODD has surveyed publicly available data about drugs, created Linked Data representations of the data sets, and identified interesting scientific and business questions that can be answered once the data sets are connected. The task force provides recommendations for the best practices of exposing data in a Linked Data representation. In this paper, we present past and ongoing work of LODD and discuss the growing importance of Linked Data as a foundation for pharmaceutical R&D data sharing.

Small wonder that Yankee pitcher Mariano Rivera grabbed the spotlight at the latest All-Star Game. His perfect eighth-inning relief appearance not only helped the American League win the game, it showcased the kind of success story that Americans love.
Going from a life in a poor fishing village in Panama to the top of a pitching mound in New York City is pretty impressive. It's hard not to be inspired by the opportunity that America affords people who are willing to work hard and pursue their dreams -- and wonder about those who haven't had those chances.
The late author and paleontologist Steven Gould once said, "I am somehow less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweat shops." His observation is undoubtedly true. Throughout history, many gifted people have been crushed by misfortune and never had the opportunity to exercise their talents.
What separates success from failure is how an individual transcends the circumstances that confront him. The history of the United States is filled with stories of individuals overcoming adversity that, had they lived elsewhere the world, would have been held in captivity by the circumstances into which they were born.
Take Jim Abbott. Like many boys, he loved baseball. But Jim was different. Born in Flint, Mich., in 1967, he seemed unlikely to grow up and play Little League baseball, let alone make it to the major leagues. Jim, you see, was born without a right hand, so playing a sport that required every appendage seemed to be a bridge too far to be realized. Someone forgot to convince Jim of that.
Jim wanted to play baseball and be a pitcher, so he set about practicing. He developed a system by which he could deliver a pitch and have his glove in a ready position by the time the ball crossed the plate. Jim was good. He was so good, in fact, that he was drafted out of high school by the Toronto Blue Jays, but instead opted for college at the University of Michigan.
While at the university, Jim led the Wolverines to two Big Ten championships, and he was the first baseball pitcher to be awarded the James E. Sullivan Award as amateur athlete of the year in 1987. It was a major accomplishment for anyone, let alone someone with only one hand. But Jim wasn't finished yet.
After his amazing college career, Jim was drafted in the first round by the California Angels and spent the next 10 years living out the dream of every little boy who ever played on a sandlot. What's more, Jim joined the exclusive club of pitchers who have ever thrown a no-hitter when, in 1993, he blanked the Cleveland Indians.

Hey guys, I am a long time lover of Cressidas. My dad used to drive an '89 Saab 900. When it broke down he went out car shopping with all the money he had ($600). He found a 1981 Cressida with way too many miles, but I had a hockey game that night (I was 12) so he bought it, I got to my game, and the love affair began. We kept that car for two years until too many things started to not quite work right and we sold it..for $800. Just two years later my brother bought his first car. A white 1987 MX73 Cressida with 247,000kms. He bought it for $800, and the body was in terrible shape, but he loved it. The water pump seized, and that was my first chance to help tinker with an engine. We got it fixed, but a year later the engine started having power surges and so he sold it. Soon after that, it was time for me to buy my first car, and I knew what I would be looking for. I bought a 1986 MX73 with 218,000kms in Silver, the car I am still using as my daily driver 4 years and one car accident later (I had to rebuild the front end). This past weekend I bought my dream Cressida: A 1978 MX32. It needs some gasket work done (I suspect rear crank seal) to fix a leak and the transmission is leaking, but the car only has 80,000kms on it and for being all original the body is immaculate. I plan on keeping it for a very long time! I would like to make some tweaks to the car in the next couple of years, new wheels, new suspension, new brakes and up the power a but if possible. Since my 4M has a carburetor I suspect I will be pretty limited in what I can get done on that last point without doing an engine swap, which I'm not interested in doing. Any tips and suggestions are always welcome. Also thrown in, after weeks of fixing my 86 I took it for a triumphant drive to the mountains.

Intro: E A E A6
I wanna [E]laugh
Until I [A6]cry
Wake up with [E]you each day 'til the day that I [A6]die
Let's go to New [E]Orleans
And watch the [A6]parade
Take funny [E]pictures, eat jambalaya and drink lemon[A6]ade
[C#m]And when the day is finally over [Bm]
We stumble [A]home
Before we [Am]sleep
Baby, marry [E]me [A] [E] [A6]
I wanna [E]drive
'Til we get [A6]lost
Lie in a [E]field staring up at the sky
While you point out the [A6]Southern Cross
And somehow I [E]know
Without asking [A6]why
That you love me [E]more in a minute
Than anyone could in a [A6]lifetime
[C#m]Dancing in the parking lot [Bm]
While the band plays [A]inside
Sweep me off my [Am]feet
Baby, marry [E]me [A]
[C#m]We don't need no preacher man
Readin' from the [B]Good Book [F#m]
And I don't want no fancy [E]dress [C#m]
Ain't no ceremony for the vows that I [B]took
From the [F#m]moment I met you
I have been [B]blessed...
So let's make a [E]toast
And drink up the [A6]wine
Here's to you [E]lying here next to me
Until the end of [A]time
Wherever you [E]are
I wanna [A]be
And anything [E]that means anything to ya
Means every[A6]thing to me
[C#m]Sneakin' out the back door [Bm]
While they're throwin' the [A]rice
And they'll talk for [Am]weeks
But we're all we [E]need
So baby, if you're [A6]free
Marry [E]me...
Baby, marry [A6]me...
Marry me...[E]

Commercial Air Filters
To be sure, the savings and benefits that are possible via improved energy management for hospitals can be significant. The EPA has estimated that just by improving maintenance and installing more efficient equipment, hospitals can cut their energy bills up to 30 percent. Better yet, the expenses can go down without sacrificing the quality of care. Indeed, with the right technology, patient care can actually improve even as costs drop.

But now you have :)
and open it to the public
See the rod perpendicular to the lamppost?
Over a hunderd years ago,
the person lighting the lamp manually
would have leaned his ladder against the rod to reach the lamp
{ love that tidbit }
Enid Blyton described her 17th Century home as
a very old house rather like a rambling cottage,
perfect both outside and in
It is like a Fairy Cottage
You enter through a funny old lychgate
it would be so inspirational to write children's books here,
don't you think?

... I should've bought a PS3.
[Edited by Gismoland, 3/24/2010 1:44:45 PM]
Second, PS3s have a failure rate of less than 5%, 360 failure rates continue to climb due to RROD and other design flaws and oversights such as the "Circle Scratch Flaw".
Third, both consoles have poor graphical rendering capabilities. Fact. They run on the equivalent of Geforce 7K series chipsets locked at Direct X 9.0C.
Neither console has true HD graphics, but rather 720P Upscaled to 1080P at the most, plus horrible draw distance and no Anti-Aliasing (The consoles use fake AA via blurring the entire image to make the illusion of AA).
Out of either console, when Hideo Kojima has to cut content out of a game that's the most massive non-Sandbox game out to date, it's a testament to how much can fit on one bluray as opposed to 3-4 HD-DVDs.

Owner's Guide
Owner's Guide
Early Action May Prevent Foreclosure
Even the word "foreclosure" may be enough to tie your stomach in knots. The truth is, it's a difficult and often painful process – but ignoring the signs will not make it go away. So, if you're facing foreclosure, what should you do?
Short Sale vs. Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure
If you are having difficulty affording your home during hard economic times, you may be able to avoid foreclosure through either a short sale or a deed in lieu of foreclosure.
Effects of Foreclosure on Your Credit Rating
There is no question that your credit rating takes a hit if you foreclose on your home. Late mortgage payments, short sales and deeds in lieu also make a negative impact. Learn how your credit rating is affected and how you can repair the damage.
Don't Fall Prey to Fraudsters
The thought of losing your home to foreclosure can be devastating, and it's natural to look for ways out. Unfortunately, scam artists are quick to prey on desperate homeowners, so it's important to be wary of offers that appear too good to be true.
Tips for Tenants in Foreclosed Properties
To think that foreclosure can only affect homeowners is a misconception. Renters can be and are affected by foreclosures, too.

As a little girl I LOVED a tea party. Now, I'll admit that my tea parties consisted of the southern staple, sweet iced tea. The finger sandwiches took the form of Nilla Wafers, Oreos, and Kraft Singles style cheese sandwiches. As an adult I still LOVE a good tea party. I love the formalities of it all. I love picking out my tea amongst a sea of descriptions and flavors. I love getting my own pot of tea. I love teeny sandwiches fancified for the occasion. And, I love sugar cubes! Love it all!
On my last Disney trip I decided to try out the Garden View Tea Room at Disney's Grand Floridian. I booked through ADR (What's that? Click here to find out!) and planned an afternoon for just the girls! And boy was it fun! Today I am breaking down my time in the Tea Room to let you in on all the magic! So, when you are ready, won't you join us for tea?
Garden View Tea Room is located in the beautiful Grand Floridian hotel. We got there right at our reservation time but, we still had a bit of a wait. But no worries! We found the Grand Floridian a delightful spot to wait. There was a pianist playing relaxing music and even a jazz band. There is excellent shopping throughout the Grand Floridian as well as comfortable waiting areas. I tell you what...it was plain and simpler RELAXING!!!! The perfect prep for a time to slow down and enjoy the afternoon!
So finally it was our turn for tea! We were beyond excited! We made our way into the Tea Room where we were seated for tea. The tea room overlooks the grounds of the Grand Floridian. Light from the afternoon sun cascades the tables and creates just the right mood! This hidden gem takes you out of the hustle and bustle of the parks and puts you in another place! Everything is beautiful fresh flowers and the daintiest tea settings! You really do feel like royalty!
There are a couple of choices to make with Tea. The menu includes packages as well as a la carte choices. We went with the traditional tea called the Buckingham Palace tea (about $23.00 per person. Yes, this is a bit expensive but it was so worth it to spend the afternoon being treated like a princess with my favorite girlfriends). This package included traditional favorites like tea sandwiches, scones, tarts and 2 choices of pastries and of course your choice of tea. The choices are unlimited and our waiter really helped us in picking out a tea that we would each enjoy (good tip here from the waiter: each person should order a different tea so everybody can sample the selections. We found this to be a REALLY good idea).
Did you know that Anna the 7th Duchess of Bedford of came up with the idea of afternoon tea in an attempt to tie her over between a very early, light lunch and a very late dinner. The offerings at today's afternoon tea feature 3 courses if you will the savories, scones, and pastries. So, let's take a look at our tea course by course, one by one, till you shout...oh, sorry...you gotta love a Beauty and the Beast song break! Let's have some tea!
Choose a Tea!
I have had tea at the Inn on Biltmore Estate in Ashville, NC so I had a bit of an idea about the choices. The waiter helped to describe the teas and lead us in the right direction. I chose the Mad Hatter tea, a black tea with hints of mango (which oddly enough came off like hints of chocolate. The waiter knew his stuff because I mentioned a chocolate tea I had at the Biltmore and he recommended the Mad Hatter. Good call!). My sister chose the princess breakfast tea (very minty), my friend Chelsea chose a strawberry infused green tea, my friend Heather chose a current infused tea called cassis, and my Mom chose the Gardenview Blend. We doctored up our tea with traditional milk, sugar cubes, and honey. I read on a tea website that it is unlucky to put milk in before sugar. Superstition states "to put milk in you tea before sugar is to cross the path of love, perhaps never to marry" (I sure do hope I put the sugar in first-oh well!). Oh, and p.s.- I totally have to read up on tea etiquette before making any more blunders. I found this awesome book on just the subject; oddly enough it is title Tea and Etiquette by Dorthea Johnson (check it out on Google Books). I am thinking about adding this too my reading list before my next trip!
We were served 4 different tea sandwiches. The sandwiches were (from left to right) pear and Gorgonzola cheese, curried chicken salad, shrimp salad, egg salad, and a watercress and cucumber sandwich with an onion tart. I really liked all the sandwiches. The tart...not so much. The other girls I was with didn't care much for the pear sandwich. I guess it is a matter of taste!
We were served a delicious scone which I am pretty sure was darted with currants and a side of Devonshire cream and a jar of strawberry preserves. Also there was a very yummy strawberry tart! I was digging this course! I will say that I had the privilege of having scones baked by parent at school who was born and raised in London and her Devonshire cream was very different than what was on my plate for tea. The Devonshire cream I had back home was more of a loose consistency (think homemade whipped cream) and it was amazing! I could have eaten that stuff straight up! So, the Devonshire cream at the Garden View Tea Room was more of a butter consistency and didn't blow me away with much flavor but it wasn't bad. In fact I used every, last, bit of it!
This round was probably the hardest! That's because our waiter brought out a tray loaded with huge chocolate covered strawberries, graceful currant stuffed puff pastry swans, eclaires, morsles of caramel goodness, fruit tarts, and much more OR we could choose one serving of strawberries and cream. I am a chocolate girl. So I chose the eclaire and salted caramel morsel. I thought both were really good. A couple of my friends chose the swan which turned out to be quite tart. But no worries for Heather because the waiter snuck her an extra pastry! I was pretty happy with my choice...you can't go wrong with chocolate!
Tea ends on a sweet note! Each guest receives a beautiful pink rose! What a beautiful way to end an amazing tea!
This truly was one of the (many) highlights of my trip. I will most definitley be returning to the Garden View Tea Room! I can't wait to have a little girl to take someday! I hope you'll try it out too if you haven't already and let me know your thoughts! Remember, reservations are required and the Tea Room is not part of the Disney Dining plan! If you are 180 days or less out from your next trip make your reservations now! Seriously. Do it! at 407-939-3463 or online here. You won't regret it!

UNCG offers library master's online
GREENSBORO, NC – The Department of Library and Information Studies (LIS) in the UNCG School of Education is now offering its Master of Library and Information Studies (MLIS) degree online. The fully online MLIS complements the face-to-face program on the UNCG campus.
The 36-credit hour MLIS, accredited by the American Library Association and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, can be completed full-time in four semesters and prepares graduates for careers in public, academic, school, corporate and specialized libraries as well as other information settings locally, nationally and internationally. The MLIS-School Library Media Specialization is nationally reviewed and recognized by the American Association of School Librarians as a program in the School of Education, which is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education.
Online students have access to Education Hubs (e-Hubs), a unique component of the online MLIS degree program where LIS staff/faculty connect virtually and/or face-to-face with potential and current students, alumni and professionals. For example, through the e-Hub in Charlotte, students in the local area have access to professional development and networking opportunities, the Distance Education Coordinator and local instructors.
"Online delivery of our MLIS is not just an opportunity to provide our quality program beyond our geographic area," says department chairperson Clara M. Chu. "Through e-Hubs our online students will have the same opportunities as those on the Greensboro campus to connect and learn with our extensive professional and academic network."

The NCWIT Fact Sheet provides a one-page description of NCWIT at-a-glance: who we are, why we exist, the three-prong strategy, program results, etc.
This card, co-branded by the six founding PACE (Partnership for Advancing Computing Education) organizations, explains how computing interests and talents line up with different undergraduate courses of study and the careers that follow.
This paper presents a systemic change model of undergraduate computing for accomplishing gender parity. Rather than view women as needing to be modified or repaired to fit the system, this model advocates changing the system to fit the needs of a wider range of students. Changing the system is a more sustainable approach to creating gender parity than providing extra support to students with less experience or background or students who are less likely to feel that people like themselves belong in computing.
This card gives adults talking points and additional resources for a conversation with their daughters and/or other young people. The main message is that IT offers meaningful work, security and high salaries with a bachelor's degree, and flexibility and variety. Information is provided to address these specific questions: What should you tell a young woman about a career in IT? How can a young woman prepare now for a career in IT?
This brief, easy-to-share resource highlights the top ten evidence-based ways to retain undergraduate students in computing.
View online.
More than 40 years of data on authors of ACM conference papers describe women's contribution to this important aspect of computing professional life. The data show that women's authorship increased substantially over time, and that relative to their representation in the likely pool of ACM conference paper authors, women Ph.D.s were especially productive. Initial tests indicate that the increase in women's share of papers was due in large part to the increase in number of women in the community of potential authors.
Part of Counselors for Computing, this card connect students' interests with IT and computing career paths that can be achieved through enrollment in a university or four-year college. Degree programs are linked to job titles, projected growth, and wages. Counselors for Computing (C4C) is a project of the NCWIT K-12 Alliance, made possible by the Merck Company Foundation.

A report on the importance of IT to our future, and why women's participation matters.
Produced with the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA), this card gives computing-specific advice for the steps to take on the path from high school to college.
This card, co-branded with ACM, explains how computing interests and talents line up with different undergraduate degrees and the careers that follow.
Change agents must understand and consider their organization's complex and interlocking systems. Plans for change must ensure that subsystems work in harmony with each other to reinforce the envisioned change. This resource outlines the prerequisites to transforming for diversity in undergraduate computing and explains NCWIT's Extension Services for Undergraduate Programs (ES-UP). Members of the Academic Alliance are entitled to free services from the NCWIT ES-UP in support of their organizational change.
Changing the culture of an organization to one that promotes women's participation in computing requires that members reach new understandings and act in new ways. Enlisting allies in this process requires persuasive communication. This resource provides guidance on the four distinct and necessary steps for the long-term process of effective persuasion.
This workbook presents some guidelines for strategically planning a multi-pronged approach to retain females — and all students — in undergraduate computing programs of study.

Each time you start programs from the Start menu, you use an interface that has not changed in 10 years!
No wonder it has become more difficult to use as the number of programs has increased.
Vista Start Menu is a convenient alternative to the "Start" menu. It's now easier to find and run the program you need.
Visually-based, and easy-to-use. Your applications are arranged in a table with icons divided into groups, which makes it easier to work with multiple programs.
And one more really important nuance: when you remove programs or install new ones, other icons remain in their places so you do not have to waste time looking for "drifted icons" as often happens.

A new program has been developed to help residents of the poorest communities in Doña Ana County learn how to work within the system to advocate for changes and improvements in their towns.
The Empowerment Congress of Doña Ana County will train residents of La Union, Radium Springs, Organ and other colonias on the basics of petitioning their government for needed changes. They will also bring together leaders of the various communities to speak with one voice on the issues that are most important to them.
And they are already seeing results. The County Commission agreed to support a pilot program to provide bus service to rural parts of the county after about 30 people from those communities attended a County Commission meeting seeking the change. Service is expected to start in the coming months.
Residents of colonias are unable to employ hired lobbyists to try to sway public officials, so they need to learn how to do it themselves. But too often they have lacked the resources or knowledge to access the levers of power. Their communities have been neglected as a result.
The nonprofit Ocotillo Institute for Social Justice conducted a study and two sessions at the yearly J. Paul Taylor Symposium for Social Justice on what needs to be done to improve quality of life in the colonias. From those conversations, it was learned that community members wanted to find out more about how to unite the various communities and speak out on their own behalf.
County Commission Chairman Billy Garrett said he had been looking for ways to bring long-term changes to the impoverished areas of the county. Too often in the past, improvements came in fits and starts, he said.
"A group would go in and work with the community, and pull out," he said. "There was no ongoing structure."
The idea of the Empowerment Congress first started in poor neighborhoods in Los Angeles. It is expected to provide an ongoing forum where residents drive the agenda and establish a course of action, aided by three staff members from the Las Cruces-based Ocotillo Institute.
Communities meetings are held in English and Spanish, and all members are invited to participate.
We don't think the Empowerment Congress will solve all the problems facing our poorest communities, but it will give residents of those communities the tools they will need to begin working on those problems themselves.

Acer drops sales forecast for CULV-based ultrathins
updated 05:15 pm EDT, Wed August 12, 2009
Ultrathins in trouble?
Acer chairman JT Wang has admitted that the company's shipments of ultra-thin notebooks has not reached initial sales goals, according to the DigiTimes. The computer maker has adjusted its internal forecasts to reflect the changing conditions, reducing total shipment volumes for the third quarter from 30 percent to 20 percent. Fourth quarter volumes have been similarly reduced from 50 percent to 30 percent.
Wang did note, however, that Acer still anticipates ultra-thin devices to account for approximately half of the company's total notebook shipments in 2010. The company also claims it is still on-track to achieve 30-40 percent growth in notebook shipments through the second half of the year compared to the first.
Acer's forecast adjustment appears to corroborate earlier reports suggesting products based on Intel's Consumer Ultra Low Voltage (CULV) are struggling in the current market conditions. Sales have allegedly remained modest despite heavy marketing and bundles providing free upgrades to Windows 7. The companies are said to be waiting until November until sales start to pick-up, while new processors and competition should drive the market prices down.
The ultra-thin devices bridge a gap between full-size notebooks and slower netbooks with comparatively small screens. The CULV systems are also expected to compete against high-end ultraportables from companies such as Apple and Sony. A number of analysts, however, have suggested that the current CULV offerings are too cheaply built, with cases that cannot support the systems.
