Whether you are working as a freelance designer, in a design firm, or otherwise, it's important to be able to help your design business grow on a regular basis. But let's face it, marketing your design business frequently becomes the "project you'll get to when you have time". Since no one is directly paying you for the time you spend building your business, it often gets pushed aside. This article covers 11 simple tips that can build your design business

This article will address some of the best ways to deal with the stress you feel as a designer and also reduce your stress as much as possible. 1. Identify what is stressing you
3 reasons to think twice before offering free design services
in business tips, Client Advice, Freelancing
Starting out as a new designer, many are tempted to offer their services for free in order to branch out and develop an audience for your work. However, with the Freemium notion, comes the adverse reaction to offering your services for free. I have been a designer for quite sometime and I have seen both sides to the free services concept. I decided to share with you some of the negative impacts associated with offering free design services upfront. 1.
Getting paid: A designer's two-minute guide to invoicing
in Client Advice, Freelancing
Many freelancer designers seem to shy away or delay the process of invoicing a client after a project is completed. Somehow this same notion is shared by the client when it comes to paying-they shy away from it. Admittedly, invoicing is no easy task, especially when it comes to collecting a late payment, but it's time for designers everywhere to be more bold in requesting payment for their work completed. We all have had invoices that were either ignored or
If crowdsourcing sites really cared about designers…
in Creative Jobs, Freelancing
It's a well-known fact: the question of using crowdsourcing sites like 99Designs.com (←link to a GDB interview with 99Designs) or Crowdspring.com is always a hot topic in the design community. When it comes to this issue, I have to admit I have always been somewhat of a fence-sitter. So I decided learn for myself what all the hype was about. Why do so many designers swear by these sites as a great way to find design clients while other designers

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp.

If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

PERRY Co., Ky. (WYMT) - Several families are cleaning up after flash flooding in the Big Creek community.
One neighbor living on Corvette Lane says within 10 minutes everything was gone.
Four-wheelers, vehicles and children's toys. Robert Ronnebaum says flood waters washed everything away.
"I told my fiancé to grab the kid, the dog and lets go. By the time we made it outside the dog was in about four foot of water and then my four-wheelers were floating down the creek, my truck was under water and my neighbors car was under water. Everything was gone," said Ronnebaum.
Up the road Linda Combs and her husband were shoveling mud.
"We've been out here about an hour trying to clean up all the mud and ditches and get the water out of the driveway," said Combs.
Combs says they are one of the lucky ones.
"We're blessed that it didn't get in our home, but I'm just really sad because I'm sure that it got in some of the homes in Corvette Lane," said Combs.
Like Combs many neighbors say they are counting their blessings.
"Thank God you got your family out and like you said things can be replaced. It's still hard to deal with it," said Ronnebaum.
People living in this community say they just want the rain to stay away.
Neighbors say right now they are doing what they can to clean up.

Both were great and I've absolutely missed them. Hope you're having fun doing whatever you're doing now (Maybe you're part of Robot Chicken? That'd be awesome.

Gagne traded. He's not impressed. The Los Angeles Kings have traded Simon Gagne to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for a conditional fourth-round pick that they acquired from Phoenix, as seen on Philadelphia's official Twitter account. Gagne skated with the Flyers between 1999-00 and 2009-10 (10 seasons) before spending one season in Tampa Bay (2010-11) and a little more than one full season with Los Angeles (2011-12, 2013). Welcome back to Philadelphia, Simon Gagne. The veteran returns to Philadelphia after an extremely slow start to 2013 with the LA Kings. In 11 games, Gagne has yet to score his first goal of the season. He's been able to chip in five assists, but to say his goal drought has been disappointing is an understatement. His struggles date back to a 2011-12 season where injuries limited the forward to just 34 games. When he was healthy, he was a shell of his former high-scoring self. He tallied just seven goals with the Kings, yet ultimately eme...

Absolutley spot on post Phil, This current Labor party through association with minorities has itself now become a minority party that I believe will never again govern in its own right.
Instead of doing deals with the minor parties at the last election they should have done a deal with the Australian people and gone back to ther polls until we had a Government that could govern in its own right because clearly this minority thing is not working.

A nations true wealth should be measured by the happiness of its people.
Not by its GDP and corporate profits.Richard Monday 5 September, 2011 - 2:27 PM
So in he latest Poll, 78% of the Australian electorate believe that the manner in which the Gillard led Athiestic Socialist Government of the Labour Party are not handling the
Illegal Immigrant situation
competently. Funny that eh, I'd love to know how the Poll questions were posed. Methinks that the Australian People are sick to death of the prattle espoused by the Bleeding Hearts who are forever forcing their opinions down the throat of we mere silent majority who are sick of the incompetence of Gillard and her Union backed cronies. At last the true feelings of the Australian People are known, fed up no doubt by the latest effort by Gillard to gift $400 million and 5000 Australian places at Centrelink to persons of unknown origin, not forgetting the ancillaries and infrastructure needed to keep them. Gillards and her Union backed Cabinet have shown their true colours, remembering of course that only 15% of the workforce are now Union Members. The Party of the People is no longer that, but a party being led by a woman who can only be described as a bully. Good onya Jules, you Madam are a complete and abject failure. Time to move on.Phil of Springwood Monday 5 September, 2011 - 8:36 AM
Whilst I own (or more precisely, the Bank owns) several properties, I don't think it is a bad thing for real estate prices to reduce or just stabilise. Real estate prices are absurd in this country, as too are the red tape costs like stamp duty, headworks contributions etc. and sadly, future generations will be generations of renters if values keep driving up. There must be better ways to generate wealth, like hard bloody work!Richard Ray Friday 2 September, 2011 - 8:06 PM

A nations true wealth should be measured by the happiness and wellbeing of its people.
Happiness is typically measured using subjective measures - e.g. surveys - and/or objective measures. One concern has always been the accuracy and reliability of peopleâ??s responses to happiness surveys.[3] Objective measures such as lifespan, income and education, are often used as well as or instead of subjectively reported happiness, though this assumes that they generally produce happiness, which while plausible may not necessarily be the case. The terms quality of life or well-being are often used to encompass these more objective measures.
Property Prices are like shares.

The nickname-name trend is nothing new. Who among us hasn't known a baby Max or Maggie or Sam or Ellie? Or even one of those with a whiff of vintage nostalgia, like Millie or Josie?
But lately there's been a new twist on this phenomenon, especially seen in the celebrisphere. Several stars have resurrected some of the All-American Boy nicknames of the Depression Era, like Billy and Johnny and Tommy, and haven't hesitated to plunk them right onto their babe's birth certificate. In particular:

We recently served up a dozen female literary names—some of the more unusual and interesting appellations for girls that have never gained widespread popularity the way Jane Austen's Emma and GWTW's Scarlett O'Hara have.
We promised to do the same for boys, and here they are—the creatively conceived names of twelve literary lad characters from a variety of novels and plays–names that move beyond the recently discovered Atticus and Holden.

I don't know about you, but I get a tremendous kick every month seeing what names—after all the discussion and debate—Berries finally have chosen for their babes. There is always such a wonderful mix of surprising choices, unique combinations, new patterns emerging.
October brought three sets of twins—one each of the girl/girl, boy/boy and girl/boy varieties:

Millions of Families Will Pay $2,100 More in Annual Health Insurance Premiums Under Senate Bill
December 1, 2009 - 9:41 AMA government analysis of the Senate health care bill found that many people buying their own family health insurance policies on government-run exchanges will see their premiums increase by up to 13 percent in 2016, the year in which the Senate bill takes full effect.
That's according to an analysis conducted by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JTO).
The CBO-JCT analysis of Sen. Harry Reid's bill found that people buying their own health insurance policies on government-run exchanges – as they will be required to do if they lack coverage through work -- will see their premiums increase by up to 13 percent in 2016, the year in which the Senate bill takes full effect.
For people purchasing their own insurance on government-run exchanges, "Average premiums per policy …in 2016 would be roughly $5,800 for single policies and $15,200 for family policies under the proposal, compared with roughly $5,500 for single policies and $13,100 for family policies under current law."
Put another way, under Reid's bill, a family in 2016 would pay $15,200 for an insurance plan, up $2,100 from the $13,100 they currently pay.
Costs would not go up for everyone who buys their own insurance: The CBO analysis says about 57 percent of the individuals purchasing their own insurance "would receive government subsidies that would reduce their costs" below what they're paying now.
The subsidies, on average, "would cover nearly two-thirds of the total premium," the analysis said. (The Senate bill would subsidize the purchase of insurance policies for individuals and families with incomes between 133 percent and 400 percent of the federal poverty level.)
But the other 43 percent who do not qualify for federal subsidies would end up paying higher premiums.
CBO and JCT estimated that roughly 23 million people would purchase their own coverage through government-run exchanges in the year 2016 -- and roughly 5 million of those people would not receive federal subsidies.
Further, the CBO analysis assumes that employers will continue providing health insurance for their workers rather than pay a government fine for failing to provide coverage.
But what if that doesn't happen? If people who now have insurance through their employers are forced out of their plans -- because their bosses would rather pay a fine than pay for insurance – many more Americans would have to buy their own individual policies – and many of them presumably would not qualify for federal subsidies.
The CBO-JCT analysis says most people who get their insurance through their jobs would not notice much change in their premiums under the Reid bill, although in many cases the premiums would be slightly lower.
But the CBO-JCT analysis also noted that the Senate bill would impose an excise tax on "high-value" employment-based policies.
Reaction varies by party
Rep. Mike Pence, chairman of the House Republican Conference, said the CBO analysis "confirm[s] what every American already knows: the Democrats' plan for a government takeover of health care will dramatically raise health care costs on working families."
Pence focused on the 13-percent hike in premiums purchased through government-run insurance exchanges: It means that "every family that refuses the government's one-size-fits-all plan, will be forced to spend an additional $2,100 a year to keep their current health care."
During his campaign, Pence noted, Barack Obama promised to deliver health care reform that would lower premiums by $2500. "In light of this new CBO report, I urge the president to call on Democrat leaders to start over or explain to the American people why lowering health care costs isn't a promise worth keeping."
Democrats were pleased with the CBO analysis: "Today's analysis confirms that millions of Americans who lack the necessary coverage to avoid potential financial ruin would have access to more coverage at an affordable price because of our proposal," the Washington Post quoted Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid as saying.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Adam Haywrd got into an altercation with assistant coach Bryan Cox during this past Sunday's loss to the Saints. Hayward ended up pushing Cox, which is a no-no for any football player. What's really interesting is that it looks like Hayward won't be punished for his actions. According to Eric Edholm of ProFootballWeekly.com, Bucs head coach Greg Schiano has sided with the player and this includes Hayward. Source: Greg Schiano sided with players (incl.
