Jazzing up a poster

I created my first design in indesign. it is a white background with many quotes and some graphics on it, size is 16x20.
The background is just plain white.
Previously when I made things like this, I created it in Photoshop. I would like to add a texture or something so it doesn't look so stark.
I would appreciate any ideas or feedback you all can provide.
I am not sure what is possible, so I am open to anything!! I did try adding a texture as the background layer, but it only affected the background. It did not change any of the text appearance or the "fills" in some of the "boxes".
Thanks in advance to anyone who can shoot me some ideas! Susan

This is a poster i made for my 10 and 12 year old nieces. It is very colorful and full of stuff....but that is what i wanted for this project. I picture them laying in bed, unable to sleep and reading some of these....or over time they might memorize them. I wish I had this when I was a young girl!!! I understand the less is more suggestion, but this was done this way intentionally. My thought was just that the WHITE space is SO white...i thought it maybe would look better with a texture or something. I don't want to make it cream, as I think all these bright colors look better with white vs. cream. If you all get past the "holy crap she has a lot of stuff on here!" and let me know if there are other effects or treatments I could do to to it. I may not end up doing anything to it, but "I don't know what I don't know!" THANKS EVERYONE

Macbook pro vibrating chassis speakers with jazz piano acoustic...

I found this post and this is exactly what i experience on my mbp 13" 2011.
I just got a brand new Macbook Pro 17″ three days ago. I am happy about everything except the speakers.
The sound is distorted and on certain frequencies the chassis vibrates. This makes listening to some kinds of music (just to name one: solo piano, either jazz or classical, which tends to have wide dynamics and resonance) almost unbearable.
Of course I never expected the audio of a laptop to be five-star HiFi; but having owned a MBP 17″ of the previous ‘silver key’ series, I know that things weren’t this bad.
On my older machine I could listen to anything, even at top volume, with a clean, round, reasonably good sound. The new one in comparison sounds tinny and fuzzy like a giant FM radio.
I either bought a lemon or there has been a noticeable fall in quality, at least regarding this aspect.
I took it to the retail store yesterday and at first the guy flat out denied hearing any distortion, then the manager acknowledged and said that's normal The floor model DID not have the vibration to the same songs...
what to do, return and try again errr what?

KT, I did do that...
Check out my review video of the problem and what happened;

Serious service failure in zip code 70119 / 70122 at the New Orleans Jazz Fest Weekend 1

I experienced total service failure in zip code 70119 & 70122 at the New Orleans Jazz Fest. No send / receive of data, voice or text. I use an iPhone 5s running the latest OS. I had better service during all hurricanes, except Katrina, of course. The only evidence I have of this are screenshots of pinwheeling texts and Facebook posts. Oh, and I have a very ****** off wife for not being able to contact me. This was a first, but it was a weekend-long frustrating affair. Please address this before next weekend's Jazzfest. I'm not the only Verizon customer pinwheeling.

Please review my jazz mix - Moonlight in Vermont

Greetings and Happy Holidays,
I finished recording Moonlight in Vermont where I play all the instrumental parts from the original 1952 recoding. Johnny Smith (guitar), Stan Getz (tenor sax) and Eddie Safranski (bass). I played these on live instruments. The drums are a combo of a brushes loop(s) + midi accents. The piano I did on midi guitar through Kontakt.
I mixed in Logic Pro X.
https://soundcloud.com/jeff-taylor-17/moonlight-in-vermont-mix
I also shot on HD camcorders and will post the video. Will be done in Final Cut Pro X
thanks for the ears. Wondering how to smooth the very first note that, when bounced, sounds a bit sudden. Is there a way to soften the attack?
Jeff

Mr. Smith was a kind of bitter and grouchy in his older years, but still played great stuff.
Joe Pass was cool, I brought his book to the first lesson, he said, forget that, I can't read any of that stuff. He was funny, we went out for pizza a couple of times. (in L.A.)
Terry is older now, his dad was one of the most recorded guitarists in the S.F area during the 50' and 60's. Terry was a jazz player too but played rock with a big hollowbody, usually an L-5.

Jazz and Flex Builder 3

(I've also posted this in the forums over at
jazz.net)
I'm trying to get Flex Builder 3 to work with Rational
TeamCentral (the beta client for the Rational Jazz system). Jazz is
an IBM Rational project to build a scalable, extensible team
collaboration platform for integrating work across the phases of
the development lifecycle. Alas, I'm running into some problems
under Windows. I'm doing all this with TeamCentral Beta2a, BTW.
My first approach was to unzip the Beta2a client on my
Windows laptop and install the Flex Builder 3 plugins. In this
configuration I was able to get Jazz to work, but whenever I try to
build anything using Flex I get what looks like a Xerces versioning
problem. Here's a part of the exception I get whenever Flex tries
to build anything in this configuration:
ENTRY com.adobe.flexbuilder.project 4 43 2008-03-02
09:31:11.062

My next attempt was to use my Macbook and install the
TeamCentral client with the Flex Builder 3 plugins (same
configuration that I had just tried on Windows). This worked
perfectly - both Jazz and Flex were very happy, and I could be
productive here. Unfortunately, most of my team members are Windows
developers, so this is not a viable solution for them.
Now back to Windows. I installed the Flex Builder 3
standalone eclipse instance and noticed that it uses Sun JDK 1.5,
so I wondered if the JDK was the culprit. I replaced the JDK to use
the IBM 1.5 JDK (same as TeamCentral Beta2a). The standalone Flex
Builder 3 worked.
My next experiment was to use the Sun 1.5 JDK on TeamCentral
with the Flex Builder plugins. The performance seemed very
sluggish, but Flex seemed happy. Jazz was a different matter. I
could connect to a repository and connect to a project area, but I
couldn't do anything after that. I couldn't see any workspaces that
I had, nor could I look at streams, work items, etc.
I'm out of things to try at this point. My ideal solution
would be to figure out how to resolve the Xerces incompatibility,
but I'm open to any other ideas that people might have. We've
discussed the idea of having separate Jazz and Flex instances
running to get the Jazz features, but running both Eclipse
instances is quite expensive resource-wise, so an integrated
solution is the best.
Thanks in advance!

Brand new GB user: How do I record voice-only for posting only?

New owner of an iMac intel OS 10.6.8, brand new user of GarageBand, awaiting graduation from the Berkeley School of Music (heh, not really) but
wishing to know if I can use the same audio input system (mic) already well used with Dragon Dictate voice reocognition system for the purpose of producing a "podcast" (audiobook) I can post in my online blog.
The music portion will come in time as I have a good virtual friend in Arkansas who is a solid rock bass guitarist and blues man and I am a huge fan of music (especially jazz) and especially Keith Jarrett and very especially Gary Peacock. We will in good time record and compose our own music, he more live. He is way more advanced, but I just bought us two books -- one on music notation and the other Marsalis "Moving to Higher Ground".
I have in mind a jazz suite based on Gustavo Santoalalla's soundtrack for "Motorcycle Diaries". [It's an open source idea.]
Thanking you in advance...
I am,
Mssr. Jouet

Thanks, tt2. Yes, the brevity is a no-go for the application I have in mind. I could go straight to a podcast provider (at significant cost). But the iTalk recorder... does it record to an mp3 or something similar which I can then affix to a web page? I have one blog up and running, and another in the works (different hosting software in each case, one requiring a host (WordPress), the other doesn't (Blogger)). I can dictate to text directly with DragonSpeaking, but the idea of having a downloadable podcast of content for educational purposes is what I am after. Perhaps neither is the solution, and I will simply have to pull out the credit card and pay significant annual fees.
Give my best to London.

Who's got a fun, creative editing idea to jazz up this clip?

So... this is a speaker who does workshops on creative ideas. She helps people come up with product ideas and has a creative product line herself.
The clip is a medium shot of her speaking. She's saying, 'I serve up products, apparel, workshops and tools to help you unleash your creative spirit. " The music underneath is upbeat.
I thought of several ideas but can't quite jell the picture.
One of her products is a deck of cards. I thought maybe some kind of spread of an arc of cards - that come on one at a time, or some kid of checkerboard thing that has small square pictures of her products, one at a time until they cover the screen, changing - although don't think she has quite that many products - not sure.
Or something colorful and creative.
Can't quite figure quite figure out what to do or how to do it.
Can anyone think of anything? Or post a link to examples?

Well, good thing I checked back. It's definitely gotten friendlier in here.
I took the clip down purposely because of the chilly response. I can make it live again if you guys want.
And I don't want to put a misplaced post up. I was just in a fun, creative mood, jazzed about the project I was doing, and wondered what ideas people might have that I hadn't thought of. I had been on the Apple boards all day and was already in conversation with people here. So it was just a quick afterthought post. I have another forum for creative questions but was just curious what people on this board thought. But I don't want to clutter up a technical forum with what is really more of a creative question.
The project ended up going very well. She was happy with the video in spite of the delays. I didn't do anything particularly creative on that particular clip,, but am still open to ideas. I want to use it as a demo clip, and that part still is asking for more than the quick transitions in there now. Passable, "give it a 3 but can't dance to it." I did go a bit wild on the beginning and ending and did some graphics and creative editing, and was very happy with that. I may have to get in and do something fun just to scratch the itch.
I'm uploading her final clip tonight and was about to revisit the other discussion, just to get clear on the best settings for exporting HD. Don't want to cross-pollenate the discussion, so I'll post about that in that thread.
Meanwhile, if the clip is still up, I'll make it live again. In the future I'll be more careful to stick to tech discussions in this forum if that' s what's appropriate.

Error while running a query-Input for variable 'Posting Period is invalid

Hi All,
NOTE: This error is only cropping up when I input 12 in the posting period variable selection. If I put in any other value from 1-11 I am not getting any errors. Any ideas why this might be happening?
I am getting the following error when I try and run a query - "Input for variable 'Posting Period (Single entry, mandatory)' is invalid" - On further clicking on this error the message displayed is as follows -
Diagnosis
Variable Posting Period (Single Value Entry, Mandatory) is used as a lower limit (X) and an upper limit () in an interval selection. This limit has the value #.
System Response
Procedure
Enter a different value for variable Posting Period (Single Value Entry, Mandatory). If the value of the other limit is determined by another variable, you can change its value also.
Procedure for System Administration

OK.
Well, if the variable is not used in any interval selection, then I would say "something happened to it".
I would make a copy of the query and run it to check if I get the same problem with period 12.
   -> If not, something is wrong in the original query (you can proceed as below, if changes to original are permitted).
If so, then try removing the variable completely from the query and hardcode restriction to 12.
   -> If problem still persists, I would have to do some thinking.
If problem is gone, then add the variable again. Check.
   -> If problem is back, then the variable "is sick". Only quick thing to do, is to build an identical variable and use that one.
If problem also happens with the new variable, then it's time to share this experience with someone else and consider raising an OSS.
Good luck!
Jacob
P.S: what fisc year variant are you using?

Posting the Expenses of Free Goods

All SD Gurus
I have some doubt in SD-Module.
We have Trading Business, in that the Trade offers ie 100+10 Like that.... is presently posting in VPRS - Cogs (During PGI) only. But finance wants to post the values of trade offers (10 pcs) to Marketting expenses (During Bill Release to Finance), Presently during Bill release these trade offers are not considered for pricing.
According to my Current setting Free Goods Item Category is marked as Statistically. So it not posting my PR00 Conditions in Accounts.
Any help on this subject will be highly appriciated.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Vishal

Thanks, I have maintained all setting for Free goods. System is not posting any values @ time of Invoice in accounts as my free goods Item category is statistical. If I remove this setting then I have to maintain the PR00 - Base Condition (Mandaotry) which will post amount in Sales Domestic G/L Account.
Any alternative solution?

Item cost not found for one or more items - Inventory Posting

Good Day Mentors,
My user has encountered an error during Inventory Posting and its "Item cost not found for one or more items".
The specific Message ID from SAP's System Message Log is 10001287.
I found a similar post which addresses this error here.
But unfortunately it did not help me solve my user's problem.
I already checked if the items had a defined "Item Cost" in the Item Master Data Inventory Tab, and they all have "Item Cost" defined.
I'm not sure if this will help, but below is the Inventory Audit Report of one of the items that is throwing the "Item cost not found" error.
I am not a business consultant neither am I literate in accounting, so thanks for the patience.
SAP Version: 9.0 PL5
Valuation Method: Moving Average
Thanks in advance!
Sean

Hi Augusto and Raviraj,
I've already verified in our production database the points you made:
- Is the "Manage Item cost per warehouse" selected in the Basic Initialization Screen?
YES
- Is the "Manage Inventory by Warehouse" ticked/checked in the "Inventory Data" tab of the "Item Master Data" screen?
YES
* I apologize for not have been able to give this information upfront.
Anyway, the database only has one warehouse at the moment.
I've checked the items, like the item in the screen shot above, and it does have an item cost.
Below is the screenshot of the sample item from my original post,
Thanks in advance!

Possible to clear vendor open item against already posted payment document?

Hi
Can you advise if it is possible to clear an open item against already posted payment/clearing doc? Here is the background to the scenario:
An invoice was posted with transaction FB60. This was subsequently picked up in the payment run F110 and cleared by payment document number 200005678. The item went to the bank on the paymnet file and was paid out to the vendor. The transaction reference, which appeared on the incoming bank statemnet was the payment document number 200005678.
Subsequently it was discovered that the original invoice should have been posted with reference to a PO using MIRO. The requirement now is to reverse the paymnet documnet 200005678 in SAP, then reverse the document that was posted using FB60. After this the invoice will be posted using MIRO. This will create an open item on the vendor account.
This item will not be piad out again. Therefore the requirement is to try clear that open item against the previously posted payment document 200005678.
Is there any way to clear this vendor open item against the originally posted payment document 200005678?? Or any other advice on how this scenario can be handled in SAP?
Thank for your help.
Mike

Hi,
I tried that option in our test system. I ran FBRA and entered Paymnet Documnet Number (+Clearing Doc Number), Company Code, Fiscal Year.
Then chose menu option Clearing -> Reset Cleared Items.
The system pops up a window asking for a reversal reason and reversal date. I use 01 and posting date of today.
The system now posts another cleared document. That document places the invoice as an open item on the vendor account. It does not place the Payment Document as an open item on the account.
When I go to F-44 only the open vendor invoice is showing there. There is no open paymnet document.
Is there perhaps some configuration setting that stops the placement of the paymnet document as an open item when reset?
Thanks for your help again.

Where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting

hi sap gurus
can anybody give where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting
thank you
venkatareddy

Hi Venkatareddy,
You make specifications for fiscal years and posting periods in the SAP R/3 System in Customizing for Financial Accounting. This is done in the fiscal year variant in the global parameters of the company code. These settings are, in general, also binding for Asset Accounting. The depreciation periods in Asset Accounting then correspond to the posting periods in Financial Accounting.<b> It is usually not necessary to create a separate fiscal year variant for Asset Accounting.</b>
The period control in the depreciation key determines the start and end of depreciation when asset transactions are posted . The period control determines the relationship between the calendar period in which the asset transaction is posted and the depreciation period.
These calendar periods are independent of the posting periods in Financial Accounting. The only restriction is that the beginning of the first calendar period and the end of the last calendar period defined in a period control have to match the start date and final date of the fiscal year in Financial Accounting.
Kindly let me know if this useful for you

How to Open and Close Posting Periods in MM

Hi,
I have opened posting periods for 10/2008 first and by mistake even 11/2008 and 12/2008 using MMPV.
Now when I am trying to do PGI from VL02N, the system says postings are only possible for 11/2008 and 12/2008.
How to close these two periods and default to 10/2008.
Please kindly help me to solve this issue.
Regards,
Gopi Krishna
SAP QA Lead

It is possible to re-open a previously closed period. However, it is NOT advisable to do so because the valuation data of the previous period could be affected.
In general, it is only safe to reopen a previously closed period when no material postings have been done after the period shifting to the new period.
If there has already been postings after the period shifting to the new period, reverting the period back will cause database inconsistencies in the history tables.
If you decide to proceed with this process, you can use the program RMMMINIT, but, please review the documentation of this program first!! and the check the SAP notes 487381 (for the error message that you are receiving) and the 369637 (for an explanation about the inconsistencies that will be generated.
Steps are as below;
Go to Transaction Code SE38
Enter program name RMMMINIT
Execute or press F8 function button
Enter your company code (From and To)
Enter relevant date: Say 01/03/2008 for Mar. 2008 month to be opened as of now
That means, user can post for the month of Feb 2008 as well as Mar. 2008
Refer SAP Note No. 487381 for more details.
As per SAP Notes 487381 ( If the periods are opened in advance in mmpv to again change it to current period the following process should be follow ), Go to Tcode MMPI, then go to menu bar and select system -> user profile->owndata.In that screen , under the parameters tab enter MMPI_READ_NOTE in Parameter ID field and enter, then under short description you will get Initialise period. Next Save.
Again go to MMPI enter company code, period and year and execute.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Other way of doing it is follow these steps( But try this method in Sand box Only):
1. Go to OX18, and delete the plants assigned to your CO.Cd and save.
2. Go to OMSY and change the posting period to the one u want and save.
3.Go to OX18 and assign the plants you have deleted in step 1.and save.

Two intervals in Open and Close Posting Period (OB52)

What is the purpose of the two intervals (period 1 and period 2) in Open and Close Posting Periods (transaction OB52)?

Hi,
Financial statements cannot be prepared on the last day of the accounting period... to find out the correct profit and to determine the correct financial positing... sometimes you may require to make some adjustment to accounting records after the closing of the accounting year... like adjustments for expenses payable, income receivable, writting off bad debts ...etc.
For posting those transactions....period 2 is maintained ..which are also called as special periods... to make the postings in these periods ...special authorisation is required.....
Period 1 is for regular postings ...
