How To Get The Most Out Of PSD-to-HTML Slicing Services

How To Get The Most Out Of PSD-to-HTML Slicing Services

In web development projects when it comes to turn .psd, .ai, etc designs into xHTML/CSS code, a common option will be to use PSD-to-HTML slicing services. And a natural question raising here is: How to get the most out of them?

PSD-to-HTML services are quite easy to deal with: you send or upload image files on a provider website, select conversion and layout options, pay through an online payment system (PayPal, Google Checkout, etc), and get a resulting markup coded. But in order to make the most of it and avoid unnecessary troubles it is better to follow some simple rules.

Properly prepare designs for uploading
1. If you have several files to convert, archive them and give that archive an understandable name, for example, “AnnSmith23June2009.zip” (i.e. “YourNameDate.zip” or “ProjectNameDate.zip”). It can be convenient for you as well, especially in case you need to check your previous orders.
2. If there are files additional to your main .psd image (e.g., custom fonts), don’t forget to send or upload them too.
3. Make sure you send or upload right files. PSD-to-HTML services are very fast, and by the moment you notice the problem with your files your markup may be ready. As a result, it could cost you some money to correct a mistake.

Design slicing, xHTML/CSS conversion requirements
1. Try to explain as accurate as possible what you want to get. Usually an order form on PSD-to-HTML websites has special subsections and items to help you with this task.
2. Nevertheless, if your requirements cannot be described in this way or you don’t have time to use it, don’t hesitate to write down your requirements in a field named like “Notes” or use other communication channels convenient for you: live chat or email.
3. If you are confused with something (“Is that option included? What is the delivery time?” etc), ASK! Sometimes even friends and relatives see things differently. So it is better to ask and to be sure that you and your provider get everything right and in the same manner.

Communication
1. DOUBLE check your email address which you mention in the order form.
2. Make sure that your anti-spam filters and email servers are not too overzealous and allow the provider’s emails reach you.
3. It depends on the provider but usually they send you an order confirmation (as well as your login and password to access a client zone on their website). If you don’t receive such an email during several minutes, contact the provider through the order form or live chat — the reason may be a misprint in your email address.
4. Just in case give the provider’s team an alternative communication channel (mobile telephone number, instant messenger (Skype, MSN, ICQ), etc).
5. If time is crucial for you, specify the PSD-to-xHTML/CSS provider’s time zone.

If there are any doubts
1. If it is your first PSD-to-HTML project or you select a provider for long-term cooperation, start from a relatively small pilot project to test the waters.
2. Check the provider’s Returns Policy, e.g., whether they provide a money-back guarantee.
3. If it is important for you, don’t hesitate to ask for NDA (non-disclosure agreement).
4. Specify whether they offer after-sale support and what it means. If the provider is confident of their work, usually the technical support is free.

Change management
1. A small addition to .psd designs may lead to large modifications in xHTML/CSS code. If the process of PSD-to-HTML conversion is in progress or finished and you change your design, be objective while estimating changes to be made in the markup.
2. Small changes are usually free.
3. But if changes are large then it is like an additional page in your order and should be paid accordingly (note: usually prices on secondary pages are up to 50% discounted).
4. If you are not sure, talk to the provider — together you will find a reasonable and mutually beneficial solution faster.

Project completion
1. Check the finished xHTML/CSS markup how it corresponds to your design and conversion requirements. If there are some remarks or defects, ask the provider to fix them.
2. Change access rights to your servers (passwords, logins) if you gave it to the provider’s team.
3. If you think the provider has deserved your testimonial, give it. You will support a qualified and diligent PSD-to-xHTML/CSS provider in the market and help other users to get to know them.

PSD-to-HTML services are just a tool to slice and convert designs into website markups, WordPress themes or Drupal templates. The better you know how to work with them the more you get.

How to Hang a Painting

How to Hang a Painting

A good question to ask, always, before purchasing any kind of art to hang on your wall, is: Do I have the wall space?

If you’re like me, very familiar with certain measurements because you see them all the time, like 16” x 20”, 24” x 36”, etc. then you might be able to tell at a glance whether or not there’s room on your blank wall to hang a painting.

But chances are most people will need to measure to make sure. Aside from just measuring the wall with a measuring tape, I would also recommend taking it one step further to really get an idea of what a painting of a certain size would look like in that spot.

Take a large sheet of scrap cardboard, poster board, or anything you can get your hands on that’s large enough. It can be destined for the trash—doesn’t matter. You may have to take several sheets of paper and tape them together. Just figure out a way to create a rectangle the exact size of the painting. You can then hold this up on the wall and really visualize what it’ll be like.

Placement of artwork is no sweat if you’ve got a natural talent for interior design. This is for those of us who don’t:

The painting should not take up all of the available space, if you can help it. It is good to have a certain amount of what I call “buffer” around the painting to give a place for the eye to rest.

Here’s what it looks like when you don’t leave enough “buffer.”

If you have a large wall, don’t be afraid to leave some of it blank. When you do this it showcases the artwork more elegantly. (If you’ve ever walked into an upscale art gallery, you know what I mean. Such spaces normally have gleaming wooden floors, clean white walls, excellent lighting, and little more. Artwork in this setting takes on a feeling of importance, as there is often just one painting per wall.)

At the same time, you also want the artwork to make a statement. If you hang a small painting on a large wall, it may not have the kind of visual impact you’re looking for.

Here’s what happens when the painting is too small for the wall.

So when you’re decorating, try to choose artwork for your space that is not too big, not too small, but just right.

Once you’ve selected your new artwork, determined where it will go, and finally got it home, hanging it on the wall is a simple, if specific, process.

How to Hang a Painting

You will need a picture hanging hook, a pencil, a measuring tape, a hammer and a level.

The first thing you need to do is find the point on your wall where you want the center of the painting to be. You may need to measure if you want it exactly centered on a wall, but in most cases it is okay to eyeball it. Mark the spot with a piece of masking tape or a small pencil mark.

Then measure the length of the painting (from top to bottom) and find the midpoint by dividing that number in half. Say your painting is 30” high x 24” wide. The vertical midpoint would be 15” from both the top and bottom edges. You want this imaginary line to be at eye level when the painting is hung on the wall.

The average person’s eye level is at about 60” from the floor. If you are taller or shorter than average, you can use a measuring tape to figure out where your eye level is. Let’s assume in this case that it’s 60”.

The back of the painting should have a hanging wire installed. (If it doesn’t, you can get picture hanging wire and screw eyes from a hardware store. The screw eyes should always go about 1/3 of the way down from the top edge of the painting, the wire should be at least 2” from the top edge of the painting when pulled taut, and it should be coiled tightly and neatly so it’s secure. But that’s a whole other subject.)

You want to pull the wire up towards the center of the painting’s top edge, just as if it were hanging on the wall and gravity were pulling it taut. Measure the distance from the wire to the top edge of the painting.

The number you need is the measurement from the “eye level” line, or vertical midpoint, to the point where the wire will hang on the hook. To get this number, subtract 3” from 15”, to get 12”. This is how high above eye level you will need to place the bottom of the hook.

So add 12” to your eye level measurement of 60”. You will place the bottom of the hook for this painting at 72” from the floor. Mark this spot with a pencil dot.

Picture hanging hooks can be purchased at any hardware store. The ones I use look like this.

The nail goes in at an angle to really anchor it into the wall. If you are hanging a heavy piece of art, make sure to use hooks that are rated for the proper weight. I don’t recommend using nails because the wire can slip off of a nail. With a hook there is no chance of that.

If you’ve measured correctly, when you hang the painting by its wire on the hook, the center of the painting should be exactly at eye level. (If you’re off by a half inch, don’t stress about it–you won’t be able to tell by looking.) Use a level to make sure it’s hung straight.

Note: If a painting is much wider than it is high, for example, 24” high x 48” wide, the canvas will usually have a cross-brace in the middle. In these cases you will have to hang the painting from 2 hooks, one on either side of the cross-brace. When pulling the wire taut to measure its distance from the top edge, you’ll just have to pull it taut across 2 points. It’s a little tricky but if you understand the theory, you’ll be able to get an accurate measurement. The important thing in those cases is to use a level when installing the 2 hooks to ensure that they are placed in line with each other.

Of course a painting does not always have to be at eye level—for example, if you are hanging it above a piece of furniture or in a configuration with other paintings, eye level becomes less important. In those cases it is usually best to eyeball it. But once you figure out where you want the center of the painting, you can still use this method to figure out exactly where the hook should go.

Hopefully this info will be helpful to you next time you’re hanging a painting, photograph, or mirror.

Know how you can fix the golf slice

Know how you can fix the golf slice

A common golf swing fault is to “slice” the golf ball. For right handed golfers, a golf slice occurs when the golf ball starts left of the target once struck, but finishes well right of the target. The golf slice is one of the worse swing faults encountered on the course because it often results in a very poor position to hit the next shot and because there are many causes to the golf slice. Common causes of the golf slice include an open clubface at impact, too “weak” of a golf grip, poor body weight transfer and/or an out-to-in or “over the top” swing.

To fix the golf slice, the golfer should first ensure that he or she is properly aligned toward the target with hips, shoulders and feet all square to the target line. Second, the golfer should ensure that the swing path taken is more in-to-out or in-to-square-to –in rather than out-in. Third, the golfer should ensure a neutral golf grip position and a square clubface at impact.

Practice Drills to Fix the Golf Slice

To fix the golf slice, top PGA teaching professionals recommend practice drills that help incorporate the proper golf swing mechanics into the golf swing and ingrain the correct “feeling” of a well-executed golf shot. Here are several of the most popular practice drills to fix the golf slice.

SLICE TEE DRILL

Corrects slices caused by OUT-IN swings and encourages proper IN-SQUARE-IN swing path.

• Place two tees and ball right to left diagonally, creating an IN-SQUARE-IN swing path. Allow about 4″x 4″ spacing from each tee to ball.

• Assume normal setup and ball position with 7-iron.

• Hit ball crisply without hitting tees.

BACK TO TARGET DRILL

Encourages IN-SQUARE-IN swing path and club release.

• Perform drill half-speed with 7-iron and teed ball.

• Select target and assume normal setup.

• Leaving arms in position and club face square to target, rotate feet 45° with back directed toward target.

• Swing along body line and hit 5 to 10 shots.

To quickly get rid of your golf slice, incorporate both of these drills into your practice routine whenever a golf slice creeps into your game.

Improve your golf slice with golf genie’s golf guides. If you are serious about golf and looking for golf training aids its right time to hit the golf ball in the golf course.

Why Stop at Hole 18 When You Can Play 27 Holes

Why Stop at Hole 18 When You Can Play 27 Holes

Golf course editorial review presented by John Schneider in www.FirstLightSports.com

Located in Sussex, Wisconsin, Ironwood Golf Course is a venue that contains 27 holes of beauty, enjoyment, challenge, and frustration. The course has three different sets of 9 hole courses that are assembled in several clever combinations to help make each golfing adventure unique. Ironwood was first established in 1995 with the completion of the “Callow” course. Over the next several years the “Meath” and “Birr” courses were added. Each of the 9 hole courses start and end at Ironwood’s large and comfortable clubhouse. While Ironwood has 27 separate holes, it is not a course where you feel like you are playing repetitive or cookie-cutter holes; no two holes are alike.

Ironwood will challenge the experienced golfer, while making sure the day still is full of fun moments for golfers of all levels. Callow to Meath has a rating of 71.5 and a slope of 126, Meath to Birr is 71/124, and Birr to Callow is 70.9/125.

The Callow (Riverside Meadow) course has several holes that allow opportunities to score, but then it wraps up with a three hole bang of demanding doglegs and elevation changes. Hole 7 is the toughest hole of the entire 27. This 500 yard hole is tree lined the entire way on both sides. If that is not enough to scare the dimples off your Titleists, the fairway that takes you uphill is only a skinny 20 yards wide. Getting past this hole with a bogie is definitely a good day for me. Double digit scores on hole 7 are an unfortunate, but not uncommon, reality. When you reach the green on top of hole 7 you are rewarded with a panoramic view of most of the Meath course. Hole 8 takes you right back down the hill and carries forward the tree lined fairway theme. This hole, however, has a sharp dogleg left. A good tee shot will come to rest in the landing area, roughly 200 yards downhill (don’t hit it too far and find the trees). From there you will have a good look at the green and you should be home free with a good chance for par or better. After several holes of seemingly forested play hole 9 takes you out of the trees. Before leaving you need to hit your drive up the tree lined fairway. If you crush your drive with a slight fade the dogleg right fairway will give you a nice view of the green.

The Meath (Middle Place) course flows in, out, and around a wide valley. Many of the holes on this course have great risk / reward opportunities and some repetitive experience will help you to determine your best targets. Number 3 would be my choice as the signature hole; an elevated tee placement will give you an opportunity to go for the green for this very drivable down hill par 4 (roughly 275 yards). The green, surrounded by water, sand traps, and waste area, is a tough golf shot. The safe play is a 200 yards shot down to fairway for a chance at an up-and-down birdie. However taking the 3 wood out for a chance at the eagle (or double-eagle dreams) is very tempting. Par 5 hole 6 takes you 550 yards back down into the valley, while the next hole, par 3 #7, takes you right back up to a multi-tiered green surrounded by several deep sand traps. Hole 8 is a dogleg left par 5. If you can hit a high and long drive you might consider going over the forest; a great drive will place you only 150 yards from the green (for a true eagle opportunity). But, if you miss your mark you will be hitting 3 from the tee box.

The Birr (Water Place) course was the most recent, and last, addition to Ironwood. Water comes into play on all but two holes here. To add to the fun and frustration the fairways tend to slope to the water often causing what initially was thought to be a great drive into a penalty. With that said, there are many scoring opportunities on this course as well. If you have managed to lose that nasty slice and have not replaced it with a pushy hook, your straight drive is going to help you record a lot of pars here. Bogies and beyond might be in your future if your drive is slicing. On an earlier occasion, in the same day, I carded a score of 50, but after seeing the light finished in the round in the high 30s. Hole 2 is a short par 4 where big hitters might be able to reach the green. The next hole, par 5 #3, is a long straight hole with water running down the right side the entire way. Bombing the drive might give you the opportunity to reach the green in 2, but water is on the left, right, and rear of the green. Hole 7 is a 460 yard par 4 where reaching this green in 2 is a very nice accomplishment. Finally hole 9 is a dogleg left that is begging you to hit over the old barn/silo.

The three separate courses, driving range, and large clubhouse make Ironwood ideally suited to host group outings and leagues, while at the same time allowing space for the general public to play. Ironwood offers a full-service clubhouse with a variety of room venues for gatherings and banquets. The largest banquet room seats 220. The open-air party barn can hold 150 people. Both venues provide great views of the courses, Holy Hill, and the surrounding countryside. On any given day you can plan on seeing some sort of group outing in progress. If you are located in the Milwaukee suburbs and are planning a corporate or charity golf outing I strongly recommend you give Mike Lehmann, Ironwood’s Director of Golf, a call (262-538-9900; http://ironwoodgolfcourse.com/ ) to give him the opportunity to win your business.

Golf prices at Ironwood generally fall inline with the other privately owned / publicly played courses in the Lake Country area. Tee times are usually available due to the existence of the 27 holes. I recommend that you make some time during the golf season to give this wonderful course a try.

The Golf Fade Shot ?Tips – How to Hit a Fade

The Golf Fade Shot ?Tips – How to Hit a Fade

Most weekend Golfers hit a fade naturally or its ugly sister the slice. The fade is a higher hit shot than the draw and doesn’t run far when it lands. It’s the perfect shot to play into the heart of a green because it stops quickly and lands softly.

Lee Trevino was the master of the fade shot and he once said he can make the ball hit the green like a butterfly with sore feet. The one thing that should be remembered with this shot is that it will cost you a bit of distance. So you should remember to go up one or two clubs to make up for the loss.

To set up for the fade, I would first keep my stance open, by this I mean that your feet hips and shoulders should all be aiming slightly to the left of your target. With this stance it will encourage an out to in swing path for the club head. This will in turn create a clockwise spin on the golf ball.

You should next set up and adjust your grip. At this point take a look at how you normally grip the club. If you tend to hook the ball, the chances are that you have a strong grip i.e. your hands are turned to the right of the grip and you can see three knuckles of your left hand.

For the fade shot it is required that you use a weaker grip where the left hand is turned slightly to the left on the golf grip. If you already slice the ball you may not need to move your grip so much. Just aiming your body left of target might just be enough for this shot.

The final part of the set up is the ball position relative to where you would normally play it. I you normally hit a straight ball you should place the ball about one ball width further forward in your stance. This will allow you to hit the fade with a bit more height on the ball.

So the key points to hitting the fade are to set up with your body aligned slightly left of target with the club aligned to the target. Your grip should be weaker or turned slightly to the left on the grip. The ball position should be brought slightly forward in your stance.

Being able to fade the ball is quite useful in a variety of situations and it is essential if you ever want to improve your game.
