Simplicity

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. - Leonardo da Vinci, Italian Painter and SculptorOne of the major reasons I made my childhood dream come true of moving to Montana come true sooner rather than later was to simplify my life. While I know I thrive the more gigs I have going (guests, horses, blogging on, on), it's more on a relaxed , simpler level.If you really think about it, we don’t n

10 years ago, i just came out of my army national service and was eagerly looking for a job to make my debut in the working society. At that time, i was totally lost and undecided if i should go back to study for higher education or look for a job to earn some cash. Both look [...]

We woke up about 4:30 on Sunday -- made some coffee, had breakfast --and headed out into the morning. The cool damp air created a gentle fog over the fields and ponds warmed by the sun the day before -- the sky was clear -- the roads were deserted -- we were driving. It's been a while since we just threw our fishing poles in the CR-V and drove; we have vowed to do it again and much more often. Wh

There is a lot to be said about the ease of use of smartphones. For instance, did you know that, according to a survey by Opinion Research Corporation, the single most returned gifts are non-blackberry, non-iPhone smartphones, due to the recipient's inability to figure out how to use all the features? Then again, people are always asking for more, not less. Where is the compromise?

We are back from short yet wonderful vacation from India and already missing home! Here I am in my office, feeling sleepy and jetlagged and terribly homesick.

The two big family weddings in two weeks of our vacation kept us on

Yesterday when I was at Phillip’s place, he was in a very jovial mood. It was one of those days when he’s not in a mood to teach us the guitar. He was reminiscing about the good old days when love did not have so many profanities attached to it. He was talking how scandals, flings, affairs and everything in between are being passed off as ‘love’. He is not averse to the idea of falling in love, rather he is all for it. He just wants people to be more honest about their feelings.I was thinking about what he said on my way back to the apartment. The apartment was empty. Andrea, my roommate, must have gone out with her boyfriend. That reminded me of Phillip’s words again. Are they really in love or are they just checking out their compatibility quotient? It is a very critical questi

Today’s tutorial is a follow up of the previous post: Design Style Tutorial: SIMPLICITY IN WEB 2.0 (Part 1). Mastering CSS may need sometimes and hard work. I’m still learning to improve what I know about it. I began to learn CSS since 4 years back. My favorite designer who has implemented such excellent integration between CSS and her blog is Veerle’s Blog. It was her old short post about CSS vs tables that started me to understand the neat order of CSS. CSS make the designing process easy and quicker to finish. When you need to change something on your layout, you don’t have to work from the start to fix it! That is: CSS… ;)This tutorial will show you how to use CSS to create rollover image buttons/menus using relative position. There maybe some other ways to create the same

I think it is about time to include CSS as one of the design element in the tutorials. The chances to get your blog or website stunning would depend so much on the process of integrating elements of visual design to your blog by CSS. As Web 2.0 begin to emerge in the beginning of 2006, many websites and blogs articles have been giving us clarity of how to visualize better Web 2.0 style. You will need to take a look of some Web 2.0 design resources before we get in to our today’s tutorial. When you use one of those resources, please credit the original designers for appreciation and read his or her design copyright before you apply them to your design.Certain design elements which are frequently implemented on Web 2.0 themes are:1. Fonts and Typography – Big Size Text for Headings. The

How many times have we tried to be simple and just but complicated it more in that process? Simplicity is in fact the ultimate sophistication! Well, this the phrase found in Zack Dome's blog.

It is hard to imagine sales skyrocketing only because something is simple, stripped down and easy to use. As companies are looking to push the limits of technology and users are grasping to understand the technology provided to them somewhere in the middle frustration sets in. Just as you learn to learn a new cell phone, computer or camcorder some new innovation sets in and you have to start over. Amazingly a near child’s camcorder toy called the Flip has cornered 13% of the camcorder market only because it is simple. To operate you simply turn on the camcorder and press the button. There is no zoom, no red eye, nothing special at all. For a grand total of around $180 dollars a person can take simple camcorder shots of up to 60 minutes and down load them on the computer.Why Does Simplici

Most of the business web sites have a white background, plain text and a classic standard design. The graphics perfectly match the written content, and there is no need for mismatching and misleading elements. A simple web design is much more beneficial for the clients as well as for the web site owners. It takes much less time while downloading and runs at a faster speed than the complicated web sites. Such web sites are much more interactive and able to give quicker responses. A web site with a simple design takes less time in building and if it needs to be re-built, it can be done in not much time. In addition to that, a web site with a simple web design will consume less bandwidth and server disk space, thus saving both time and money. The eCreeds® Web Solution Team eCreeds® We

One of the characteristics that distinguish real Generals from voyeuristic wannabes is the former’s commitment to their profession. Real Generals absorb everything and anything they can find about their job, their mission, and their operations. They literally live their job. A General must know as much as possible in order to develop uncomplicated plans, because the result of misunderstanding

I was intrigued by fellow blogger Mark Graf's recent post about how snow tends to simplify scenes that would otherwise be quite disorganized and distracting; morphing a scene that would be difficult to photograph into something that looks much more appealing in a two dimensional image. Have a look at that interesting post if you haven't had a chance to read it.After reading Mark's post, I found myself wondering if I could use snow to simplify an image even further....right down to bare graphic shapes. I would obviously have to look for very specific, uncluttered, and focal scenes (by which I mean picking out a small area of landscape that had very basic graphical qualities).As I have mentioned many times before, I am not very much of a cold weather person, but I thought this would motivate

Simplicity has always been the basis of good design, and adding a garden fountain is no exception. Besides, good garden design is nearly as easy as it is simple! It’s when you complicate things that issues arise. You have only a few things to worry with when planning to add a garden fountain to landscape your home. They are: 1) A source of electricity 2) The placement area; and 3) How to create a harmonious landscape around your new water feature. Creative solving of these basic problems will beautify your home and greatly improve its beauty and value. Penciled plans are simple to prepare, easy to repair and worth their weight in gold when it's time to install new the new planters, statuary, and green material around your water fountain. The first things you need are several large sheets

Photography is about simplicity. Keep it simple and you get your message across. But how often do we get a simple picture? And what is a simple picture? From what the masters say, the image should be uncluttered, clean with all other elements and background not competing with your main subject. Easier said than done! And it takes a lot of practice to get that oh so simple image! Come to think of it, I am still honing myself. I don't even know if the photo above I took in Lake Sebu, South Cotabato would pass the art of simplicity. Ah well, pursuing this passion for photography requires learning from experience, knowledge from experts, and having a discerning eye.

Photo (Simplicity) originally uploaded by •Laurie•Luxury and SimplicityTHE Sufi ancient Junaid taught by demonstration, through a method in which he actually lived the part which he was trying to illustrate. This is an example:Once he was found by a number of Seekers, sitting surrounded by every imaginable luxury.These people left his presence and sought the house of a most austere and ascetic holy man, whose surroundings were so plain that he had nothing but a mat and a jug of water.The spokesman of the Seekers said:'Your simple manners and austere environment are much more to our liking than the garish and shocking excesses of Junaid, who seems to have turned his back upon the Path of Truth.'The ascetic heaved a great sigh and started to weep'My dear friends, shallowly infected by th

Whether they are making or losing money in the market, traders know that trading is first and last a mental game. When your system makes you money, can you stay out of its way so that it can continue to do so? And when your system inevitably suffers drawdowns, can you remain on the sidelines and not act like a belligerent parent at a Little League baseball game?Richard Dennis, who co-founded the legendary Turtle Trading System with William Eckhardt, once remarked that he believed that he could publish the entire then-secret Turtle Trading methodology in the newspaper and it wouldn't make a difference.Why? Because most people cannot follow the rules. And this was not because the rules were especially complex. It was because human beings are especially -- and perhaps in some ways, unnecessarily -- complex.We see the same thing when it comes to other challenges people have, whether it is in dieting and weight loss or quitting smoking. At this point in time, there are few people who do no

`The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.’ Hans Hofmann Simplicity is something that is a challenge. I know the times when my creativity has been clouded and difficult to access have been when I have moved away from simplicity in my life. One of my greatest joys was when I moved from Sydney to The Gold Coast. I was offered a teaching job on The Coast if I could be available in two weeks. I had just returned from The Coast, it was winter and walking on the beach in winter had opened my heart to a new way of living. I said yes, put my place on the market, sold or gave away all I could, put the rest in my car and headed North. What a freedom I felt, everything I needed was in that car, at that moment I was not hindered by possessions or place. The world soon crowded in again, but it left a sense of something I have aspired to since, a place where I was beyond the need for those securities and in which I could access creativity with

`Just living is not enough said the Butterfly, one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower.’ Hans Christian Anderson. The Butterfly knew something most of us do not. We don’t need a lot to be happy. We have a greater flow of `The Creative Spirit’ in our lives with simplicity. Look around you and think of the energy and time spent in collecting and caring for possessions. How much is what you truely need and how much is what you think you should have. We don’t need a lot to create with power and strength. What we need is a state of mind, a state of spirit. Society is clogged down with `objects’ that need to be paid for and cared for, but there is a line between need and greed and when that line is blurred `The Creative Spirit’ in our work and lives is quickly impeded. Our lives all too easily become blocked by objects and the freedom and joy that nourishes creativity is lost. I know it is not easy to keep things simple, but for discovering the power that is in `The

Great marketing is simple (but not easy). It communicates obvious value to a customer. It should be a no-brainer. It’s even easier when the product or service does its own marketing. Breath mints for construction workers and automotive maintenance engineers is not obvious. Until now. Wrench Mints changes that. “When your breath is broke… Fix it!” The cap slides off using a pretty cool packaging technique. Suddenly it’s cool for tough guys to have fresh breath. And the stars are noticing. By happen stance, I met Wrench Mints Founder Eddie Rubin in Southern California the weekend preceding CEA. He showed me these mints, and as a marketer I could not help but feel inspired by the clever, yet simple value proposition Wrench Mints offers. It’s just a reminder to me that even though we live in a new world of “advanced marketing,” nothing works like a simple, unique message that delivers epiphanies whenever someone sees it.

Simon Carter’s reputation stems from his revolutionary approach to cufflink design following his introductory men’s brooches, in the mid to late 80’s. Some of his original designs are classified vintage. Simon Carter maintains a philosophy of simplicity in his designs; simple, functional, without loosing their stylish edge. His cufflinks not only firm to cuff, they glean a touch of elegance and frame perfectly an object of expression.

"The simplicity that is in Christ" 2 Corinthians 11:13Simplicity is the secret of seeing things clearly. A saint does not think clearly for a long while, but a saint ought to see clearly without any difficulty. You cannot think a spiritual muddle clear, you have to obey it clear. In intellectual matters you can think things out, but in spiritual matters you will think yourself into cotton wool. If there is something upon which God has put Hie pressure, obey in that matter, bring your imagination into captivity to the obedience of Christ with regard to it and everything will become as clear as daylight. The reasoning capacity comes afterwards, but w never see along that line, we see like children; when we try to be wise, we see nothing (Matthew 11:25).The tiniest thing we allow in our lives that is not under the control of the Holy Spirit is quite sufficient to account for spiritual muddle, and all the thinking we like to spend on it will never make it clear.

I wanted to take this opportunity to talk about intensity and high intensity training. The word intense gets used too much I think for things that aren’t intense. It’s in the kid’s slang, ‘that’s intense’ and they apply it to things to indicate something is pretty cool in their opinion. That’s OK, but it downgrades the real meaning of the word intense. Webster’s dictionary defines intense as taking something to an extreme degree. That is what I am talking about! You want to have an intense workout every time. Taking that to a deeper level; you want to do every session, every set, and every rep with intensity. When you do that you are achieving what I call RIPPED Intensity. This is one of the Pillars of the R.I.P.P.E.D. Weight Training System. This is one of the keys to getting a transformation in the quickest, most efficient way possible. An example of having this RIPPED Intensity is thinking about your grip on the weight. Everyone has t

Yesterday I came across Principles of Simplicity by Mads Kristensen. I think this is good write up and I enjoyed reading it. This are very generic and applies to all programming language and databases applications. Principles of Simplicity by Mads Kristensen 1. Simplicity or not at all Some developers tend to over-complicate a task and ends up writing too many classes to solve a simple problem. 2. Don’t build submarines It’s a common fact that IT projects take longer than scheduled even if you schedule for delays. 3. Test when appropriate Testing is one very important factor of the development cycle and there are many different tests to perform. 4. Be precise when naming methods A method must have a name that tells exactly what it does. 5. Comment your code the simple way Code commenting can be done in a myriad of ways, but there really is only one that keeps your code simple at the same time. 6. Steal borrow and simplify We all use code pieces found on the Internet all the time.

Here are some quotes that apply when learning our art... the martial art of simplicity.The highly logical principles of Wing Chun are of more importance than their simplicity might suggest. - Adam WillissThe ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak. -Hans HofmannThe simplicity of Wing Chun principles is no hindrance to the subtlety of its intellect. - Adam WillissAny intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.

Why are some people successful while others aren’t? I mean we all know people who have made an amazing living out of network marketing. Take a walk around your local shopping mall during any weekday and you will see crowds of men and women who are not at work! They can’t all be shift workers? No, these people have worked out a way of having their cake and eating it too. They have balanced lifestyle with income. If you wander around our local malls you might just see me. I don’t look wealthy, but I am looking at my third luxury trip this year, and am no longer interested in a day job - because I don’t have to! I have been in the MLM game for 10 years. I will qualify that in saying I made an attempt or two many years ago, but failed miserably. I swore I would never again chance my arm. Then I met this guy who wouldn’t quit. He kept at me and at me, trying everything he could to get me to a presentation. I purchased some products and they worked. My car had

The Western world has, for many years, been deeply fascinated with Japanese interior design. Its simple lines and muted colors carry the essentials of Japanese culture - tranquility, harmony, and balance with nature. Japanese interior design makes careful use of space and light and always takes into account the concept of yin and yang. Of course, objects and accessories in bright colors such as red, yellow, or orange can also be found in many Japanese homes, but their use is restrained and evenly distributed in the home. (more…)

A lot of new - or inexperienced - web designers like to show of their skills and make their websites fairly complicated, a mistake you probably do as well. By adding unnecessary technologies to a web page, creating a complicated navigation system, and simply having elements that are completely useless, your website could be losing a lot of valuable visitors every day.By simplifying your website, your viewers have quick access to the information they need, your website becomes much easier to manage and update, and search engines will post your website more accurately and fully. All of these benefits can be achieved by avoiding the fluff of website design. Instead of trying to show off your mad skills, focus on simplicity and you will be greatly rewarded.The first thing you should do is review the technology used on your website. You should be able to do everything you need to using only two or three technologies. If your website is using XHTML, CSS, AJAX, Flash, and JavaScript to achiev

  Every day someone comes up with a new weight loss gimmick.  Whether it’s a new diet, exercise, pill, book, video tape, scientific break through or TV show, everyday we are bombarded with new information.  We are constantly reminded of the reality of our health.  It’s true that Americans are in trouble when it comes to healthcare.  We are unhealthy as a nation, our healthcare system is broken and the future looks bleak for how we will handle it. 

Its cold, cloudy, and WINTER. Since last night I’ve been missing England a lot. I was there for almost a year during 2003. If I had a choice I’d go back now. Not just on a 2 year visa though - It’d have to be permanent. Its very disruptive to pack up and go there, only to come back again, and then try to find your feet. What I liked about it so much? Everything. If I had a decent job this time round I’d definitely enjoy it more too, but the job wasn’t bad. I worked in a factory, and the money was OK. The hours sucked. 6am - 12pm, sometimes till 4pm - and over weekends 4am - 2pm. Now I have a comfortable 8:30am - 5pm office job. Nice and cozy, plus I don’t work with people so much. However, in a factory you don’t always realize how clever people are. It doesn’t take much brains to chop cucumbers, as opposed to my current job, where everyone is expected to think for him / herself. Not that they do, which makes it so frustratin

God reveals his secrets to that which is considered ‘foolish to the world..he does this to confound the wise. Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound…that saves a retch like me..I once was lost…but now I’m found..was blind but now I see. The world does not understand the things of the Spirit, the world doesn’t understand the complex things of God…because they are not complex…they are actually quite simple…and they are all around us.  We don’t see them half of the time because we are not looking, and we obviusly don’t hear them because we are not listening.  So so very consumed with that which is going on around us and inside of us that we miss the things of the Spirit.  What if complexity is really simplicity…but it’s so so simple that it becomes complex because we are trying to understand it with our natural selves? The Spirit of Prophecy is all around us.  The God given gift of the prophetic spirit is with y

Everyone knows that I'm excited about travelling to Europe. We've put it off for one reason or another for two years already, and I'm serious about finding a way to cut costs so she and I can stop talking about it and just do it! A website for Cheap Hotels in Spain offered some really great deals on last minute accommodations with a search feature that makes it easy to list by price, location,

As the weather starts getting warmer, I tend to wear my hair up and off my neck to stay cooler. So, I am always on the lookout for bold earrings that will make a statement with my hair pulled back. The beautiful beaded earrings by Julie Garland fulfill this need exactly! One of my favorites (and trust me it was so hard to choose!) are these Gold Rain earrings which pair black onyx discs with super long gold filled chain. Exquisitely elegant, they are so versatile and would look equally as amazing with a black strappy dress or a black tank and some crisp white trousers. Classic Simplicity at its finest! There is also a summer sale going on right now with over 20 fabulous items from her beautiful collection at 20% off.

They say there's beauty in clarity and simplicity. They probably meant Claudio Bellini's Rock Coffee Table when they said that. Made of 10mm thick, curved glass, it is an unusual design that serves the purpose of being a showstopper of a coffee table and functional enough to place your prized curios. The clear glass gives an impression of space and fits into any kind of contemporary home. I think the best aspect of this table lies in the geometric curves of the glass. It gives it a futuristic, yet designer appeal.   While we are on the subject of glass tables, why not admire some more designs that caught my eye at the Milan Design Week 2007? There's the Rialio Deco Boontje Coffee Table designed by Tord Boontje. It's made in 10mm or 12mm - thick curved glass but the highlight is the serigraphic enameled decoration on both surfaces. It lends the table an artistic look that also sets it apart. If you have a room full of artifacts that spell luxury and class, this table

One of our many faults as humans is that we tend towards the complex.  It's as though we can't believe we've added value unless we've added complexity.  We'll scribe a ten page report when a single page overview will suffice.  We'll add what the British call "gobbledygook", the unnecessary addition of superfluous language to our speech and writing.  Christianity is no different - we've turned very simple concepts into a labyrinth of philosophies, simple lessons into academic polemics, and basic faith into a theological puzzle.  There is no need for this, Christianity is simple and doesn't require a PhD to comprehend what it's about. Creation - God was, is, and always will be.  God created the universe, matter, life, and most importantly, created us in his image. Fallen - Man is a fallen creature.  We were, are, and will be creatures of Heaven, but we chose a path separate from God. Reconciled - God chose to come to us as a

If crocodile skin impressions can be trendy on bags and shoes, then why should furniture be left behind? That's the first thought that came to my mind as I feasted my eyes on Dandy Giro Armchair by designer Archirivolto. The design is extremely simple in form but stunning enough to take your breath away. The swiveling armchair has an acrylic body with the highlight being the relief ornament that recalls crocodile skin. The structure is sturdy chromed metal and you have a choice between white, black and the totally gorgeous transparent versions in natural, red and brown. I'm thinking it would be a really eye-catching piece to keep next to a theme wall or even in your contemporary home office! Talking of designer furniture that takes simplicity in form and design to new heights, there's the Holly TV Unit by designer Roberto Paoli. It solves your problems of having a sleek TV unit that blends with your contemporary décor and also stores your CD and other entertainment knick

Brand : GingerCompany: Roots Corporation ( Taj Group)Brand Count : 209Recently I was intrigued by a simple ad of a hotel in Television with the tagline " Please Help Yourself" because seldom we see hotels advertise and decided to read more about the brand Ginger. There was many surprises in store for me about this brand. Ginger is the new version of Indione chain of hotels touted as the budget hotel chain from the Taj Group. Owned by the TATA's Ginger brand is expected to shake up the hospitality industry for the better.Indione launched in Bangalore in June 2004 was Taj's first foray into Budget hotels.
