Are you ready to make 2016 your year of awesome skin?
Then, let's make some resolutions. Not the usual, "let's wear sunscreen daily, remove makeup before going to bed, and not pick at that spot, doesn't matter how much it's bothering us." I'm assuming we're all already doing all that.
Good. Then, let's see what new worthy habits we should adopt in 2016 to finally get the clear, bright, flawless skin we've always wanted:
1. Feed skin from the inside out
I have a very sweet tooth. I find it so hard to resist sugar and chips. And, lately, I've become quite fond of cheese too. Veggies and fruits, not so much. Like most people, I don't eat enough. And I can see that my skin (and my health too) is paying the price.
It complains by breaking out and becoming dull. So, this year, I plan to eat a big portion of veggies with every meal, and substitute my mid-afternoon sugary snack with an apple or a smoothie. Because eating healthy makes us feel AND look healthy (and amazing).
2. Start double cleansing
I know, I know. Taking makeup off at the end of a long, hard day is an annoying chore. You want to do it as quickly as possible. But, if you don't remove everything, including waterproof mascara and stubborn sunscreen well, you're just harming your skin.
And throwing money in the bin, because the grime left on your skin will prevent those expensive lotions and serums you apply next to penetrate as effectively as they have to to work their best.
That's why I started double cleansing. I highly recommend you do too. First, I use an oil-based makeup remover to take off waterproof and longlasting products, like foundations and sunscreens. My favourite is Banila Co. Clean It Zero. An oil in sherbet form, it removes everything super quickly without making a mess.
Then, I follow up with a water-based makeup remover to remove the oil and make sure my skin is thoroughly clean. Now, I can apply my night-time treatments knowing they'll work as they should.
3. Use a serum containing CEF
That stands for vitamins C and E, and Ferulic Acid. It's the super powerful anti-aging combination made famous by Skinceuticals CE Ferulic. Studies have shown it " provides meaningful synergistic protection against oxidative stress in skin and should be useful for protection against photoaging and skin cancer." In other words, it helps fight the free radicals and treat the sun damage that cause premature aging.
A lot of people don't use this combination because they assume it's insanely expensive (after all, Skinceuticals was the first one to come up with it). But, there are affordable alternatives.
One of my favourites is Paula's Choice Resist C15 Super Booster. It costs only $48.00. Even cheaper alternatives include Timeless 20% Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid Serum ($19.70) and Skin Actives Vitamin C Serum ($15.50). Now you have no more excuses not to try it. You'll soon regret not having done it sooner.
What new skincare habits are you going to adopt in 2016?

The 2008s from Alsace are excellent, racy wines with bright acidity and fine fruit center to balance. Drinking them will be easy, getting there wasn't. The vintage started propitiously with a cold winter followed by a moderate spring. Bud break came right on time. A dry May saw the vines progressing well, with early flowering sites speeding through the process.
In the second week of June, rain and cool temperatures delayed the late flowering sites, but warmer temperatures later in the month precluded too much damage from colure of millerandage. In the end a decent sized crop was set.
The weather during July and August fluctuated between hot and dry, and cold and wet. July was the wetter month, and managing the vineyards was tricky and labor intensive. The vines were vigorous and disease was a concern. August was better, with the exception of some heavy rains mid-month.
September saw rain and low temperatures during the first two weeks, and dry conditions later in the month. Finally, October started out sunny and dry with good diurnal temperature swings that allowed ripening to proceed without loss of acids. Good weather prevailed until the third week of the month when the rain returned and essentially ended the harvest.
As is often the case, the result of a tumultuous growing season was very good wines – focused, crisp and detailed, with lovely bright acidity and fruit to match that should age quite well.
The properties of Zenon Humbrecht and Emile Zind merged in 1959 to form Zind-Humbrecht. The domaine now covers 40 hectares in five villages in the Haut-Rhin; its best parcels from four Grand Cru vineyards: Brand, Hengst, Goldert, and Clos St. Urbain on the steep slopes of Rangen. Master of Wine, and vigneron extraordinaire, Olivier Humbrecht, directs operations here. His supremely rich, complex and concentrated wines are controversial owing to their overwhelming power, often considerable residual sugar and flamboyant personalities. But this is one of the world's great producers of white wine, with no corners cut in the vines or winery. It's hard to choose a favorite variety here, as Humbrecht excels with Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, Muscat and Pinot Blanc. Vendange Tardive wines here are as rich as most producers' Sélection de Grains Nobles. Much of the success here can be attributed to low yields, late harvests, and biodynamic viticulture, which Humbrecht introduced in full in 1998. Depending on quality, between 10,000 and 18,000 cases of wine are produced each year, 75%-85% for export.
Rich and medium bodied, with hints of honey, tropical fruit, and smoke
Poultry, seafood and pork
Pinot Blanc may not receive the same respect given to noble varieties like Chardonnay and Riesling, or even other Alsatian whites like Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer. But at its best, with grapes from low-yielding vines, Pinot Blanc can produce exciting values: creamy, medium bodied wines, with honey-like aromas and flavors.
A relative of both Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc is grown in a number of countries under a variety of names. In Germany, it is Weisseburgunder, while in Italy, it is called Pinot Bianco.
Still, the fact that we are most familiar with the grape as Pinot Blanc is a dead tip-off that the best examples of the grape come from France. In France, Pinot Blanc is most notably grown in Alsace, where it is either bottled on its own, used as a major component in the sparkling wine Cremant D'Alsace, or blended with other varieties in the region's traditional wine, Edelzwicker. We don't see much Edelzwicker, since the export market for this wine is virtually non-existent. But we're happy that we can get a decent amount of single-varietal Pinot Blanc from Alsace; the wine is made in some form by almost every Alsatian winery. These can be rich, sometimes tropical, smoky wines that are low in acidity. Look for offerings from Domaine Marcel Deiss and Domaine Schoffit.
In the U.S., some California vintners are producing Pinot Blanc with the same techniques used to make expensive Chardonnay, including new oak and malolactic fermentation. We're not convinced that this is the best way to showcase the grape, and lean more towards the wines being made in Oregon. Here, vinification techniques more closely follow the model established in Alsace, with fermentation in stainless steel or older oak leading to wines that are rich and smoky. Consider wines from Amity Vineyards and Elk Cove.
Pair Pinot Blanc with poultry, seafood, and pork.

Architelos Inc. announced today the publication of the third NameSentry NameSpace Quality Report. The report measures the comparative safety of the Internet's largest Top Level Domains (TLDs) by measuring the concentration of spam, phishing, botnets, and malware in each TLD from January 2013 to March 2014. The research is based on data from the NameSentry℠ Abuse Detection and Mitigation Service, which tracks abuse across the Internet's namespace. The report rates and ranks the 72 largest TLDs, which together account for 99% of domain names on the Internet. The findings indicate a significant increase in abuse over 2013, with the number of domain names added to abuse blocklists increasing from 62% from January 2013 to December of 2013. Virtually all domain names added to these blocklists were registered specifically to perpetrate abuse, underlining the preference of bad actors to register, use, and then move on to other new domain names. At least 5.0% of newly registered domain names are being used to perpetrate security threats during their initial year of existence. The NameSentry NameSpace Quality Report is freely available for download at www.architelos.com/namesentry.
NameSpace Quality Index (NQI) and Biggest Winners and Losers
The concept of NQI introduced in the first report, established a consistent and transparent means to measure relative safety. NQI measures the relative concentration of abusive domain names in any given namespace. Specifically, NQI is measured by the number of unique 2nd level or 3rd level domains that were flagged for at least one type of abuse, per million domains under management. Less than 100 abuses per million receives a "Green/Excellent" rating, while more than 10,000 abuses per million receives a "Red/Risk" rating.
Of the 72 TLDs, 58% score a rating of "Yellow/Good", 25% score "Orange/Caution", 14% score "Red/Risk", and only 3% score "Green/Excellent". The top ranked or safest TLDs were .tel and .ch, while the bottom two TLDs were .mobi and .asia. The analysis also covers significant changes in NQI for 72 TLDs and the resulting change in rank compared to the report published in November of 2013. The biggest winner was the .de country code TLD (Germany) who improved from a rank of 54 in Nov 2013 to a rank of 16 in Mar 2014. The biggest loser was .ws country code TLD (Samoa) with a 2013% decline.
About Architelos, Inc.
Architelos, Inc. provides SaaS-based TLD managed services solutions, and strategic consulting for clients in the domain name (DNS) industry. NameSentry℠, a patent-pending abuse detection and mitigation service, is the second SaaS based service launched by the company, after Business Case Builder in 2011. Architelos is unique in having over 30 years of experience in building, launching, and managing multi-million name gTLDs.

That urge to express something uniquely has cropped up in a different context this week. I've been in the Appalachians, huddled with my dog, Mabel, in a tent for two rainy nights, with two clear ones still ahead of me. My notebook has been open the whole time, the pen loaded with ink, awaiting all-new amazing insights to just tumble down the jumbled mountain stream right outside my tent door. I could kill Henry David Thoreau for saying everything about trees first. Fuck John Muir for getting to mountains before I could. And I'll slap Annie Dillard just for good measure; I'm sure she got to all of what was left long ago. I certainly now know how Mary McCarthy felt when she lamented about the impossibility of writing about Venice because everyone else had already said it all.
I didn't take up the outdoors until I was forty and, already long-mired in drink and delusion, I was happy to drop everything and go sit in the woods alone on the spur of the moment. Since then, the motivations for doing so have shifted. Originally, it was all about isolating. I could stock up and drink alone for two days, sleep well into the third one, hop up and return to my life, still slightly dulled but with newly-inspired vocabulary to tell everyone that I was in some way "restored." Now it's about pure solitude, which might seem like just a semantic difference, but it's really quite the opposite. My being alone in the woods isn't about not being with people or hiding from them; it's about being with myself, completely and utterly present and engaged with whatever task I have at hand: hiking a trail, setting up camp, cooking food or perhaps just sitting and being quiet for a little while.
A lot of those earlier, isolating trips are lost in a particularly, uh, damp fog. The first thing I'd do when I got to a campsite was have a few glasses of wine; I'm still not certain whether I ever set up my tent correctly…I know I never started a fire the right way. All of the memories and photographs from that time have a particular kind of off-kilterness to them, like the separate color plates have been printed slightly out of registration. After I sobered up, I hesitated to jump back into camping and hiking expeditions; "camping trips" was frequently just code for "drinking trips," and I was keenly aware of possessing the peculiar skill of being alone in the woods and knowing exactly where the nearest liquor store was, almost like I was a wine-soaked divining rod. But I should't have worried about returning to the woods. I've managed a handful of trips over the last year and all of them have only furthered my conviction that it's a right, necessary, thing to be doing and each time I go, the final color image that I take home and keep gets clearer: the C, the Y, the M and the K of it all seem to align perfectly and display a perfect twin of my present being and mood.
Yesterday, I spent a good deal of the morning trying to hunt down an adult American Chestnut tree, one of only a few of the post-blight species left alive in North America; it's supposedly quite nearby. It's the sort of thing that I always thought sounded like "a very DG sort of thing to do," but would never go actually do. I didn't find it, but I have two more days here. Trust me, I'm almost embarrassingly conscious of how clichéd that sounds, tracking down the remaining trace of something long thought extinct. It's what I've been doing for the past fourteen months, and no one is rolling their eyes reading this as much as I am while writing it. So I can't be John Muir this time around, I can't stake any territory Thoreau didn't get to. But I can find this chestnut tree and press a leaf from it between two pages in the analog version of this blog and move on to the next "very DG sort of thing" that just two years ago I thought I'd never be around to do.

The Designers Institute of NZ has just just released the finalists for their annual Best Design Awards. There is some seriously exciting work on show across the disciplines of graphic, spacial, interactive and product – some leaping out more than others.
Kayak 1 is a beautiful collaboration between Jamie McClellan and Andy Jacobs – being a bit of a boat fan I've been back to ogle it a few times since the tip off by Clever Bastards. It definitely brings a super sexy slant to the humble kayak…you could imagine it making an appearence in a James Bond movie.

Small-scale LNG projects in British Columbia nudge ahead
By Julie Gordon
VANCOUVER Jan 29 (Reuters) - Small-scale liquefied natural gas projects are emerging as bright spots in British Columbia's bid to become a major exporter of natural gas, with two floating projects on the Canadian province's Pacific Coast moving ahead even as larger projects face delays.
The Douglas Channel LNG project, an early frontrunner that was stalled when one of its owners fell into bankruptcy, looks to be back on course after a consortium led by Calgary's Altagas Ltd officially took control on Wednesday.
The group, which also includes Belgium's Exmar, France's Electricite de France and Japan's Idemitsu Kosan, hopes to make a final investment decision on the 550,000-tonne per annum (TPA) floating facility by yearend, with first exports in 2018.
"We do believe it could be the first LNG exporter off of the B.C. coast," Altagas director of finance Jess Nieukerk told Reuters on Thursday, adding Altagas will keep working with Idemitsu on another, larger, LNG export project called Triton.
The Woodfibre LNG project, meanwhile, entered its 180-day environmental review phase this month, setting the stage for a final decision later this year on the 2 million TPA terminal, which is backed by Indonesian billionaire Sukanto Tanoto's RGE Group.
The two floating projects are relatively small compared with mega-developments being contemplated by companies such as Malaysia's Petronas and Chevron Corp, but lower capital costs mean their owners can move more quickly.
Woodfibre's floating facility, for example, is expected to cost roughly C$1.6 billion ($1.3 billion), while the Douglas Channel project is pegged at C$600 million, compared with C$11 billion for Petronas' Pacific NorthWest LNG terminal.
Petronas delayed a final decision on its 12 million TPA project in December, citing high costs and the impact of low oil prices on company revenues. Continued...

Yad HaRav Herzog is a non-profit organisation that publishes the Talmudic Encyclopedia and related texts.
A former president of Jerusalem's Supreme Rabbinic Court, Rabbinic Judge Zalman Nechemia Goldberg, spoke about the possibility that conditioning a sale, as discussed in Talmudic literature, is equivalent to software licences. He provided a traditional Jewish equivalent to modern copyright.

Formula One an option for Audi, says CEO
By Alan Baldwin
LONDON (Reuters) - Formula One remains an option for Audi, the German carmaker's chief executive Rupert Stadler was quoted as saying on Monday amid speculation about a partnership with former world champions Red Bull.
He told Britain's Auto Express magazine website that "in life you must keep things open.
"We're already well stuffed with successful motorsport projects. But with F1, wait and see. It's an option for Audi. Not at this moment, perhaps. But it is still an option."
There has long been speculation about whether Audi might be tempted into Formula One, but it has grown louder now that Ferdinand Piech has quit as chairman of parent company Volkswagen.
Piech was seen as being strongly against Formula One.
Audi last year recruited former Ferrari F1 team principal Stefano Domenicali but not for an obvious motorsport role. They also made clear that the focus remained on Le Mans and the German Touring Car series.
However, the return of Audi stablemate Porsche to Le Mans as a works team, and Red Bull's fraught relationship with engine partner Renault, has also left people wondering whether a repositioning of brands might be in the offing.
That talk was given further impetus on Monday when Red Bull motorsport consultant Helmut Marko, who is close to company owner Dietrich Mateschitz, sent what sounded like an open invitation to Audi. Continued...

So were the two quarterbacks responsible for cashing in these opportunities. They've been just as tired of settling for field goals as anyone else. "It was good, when you get in the red zone you've got to score," said QB Tyler Russell, though adding, "I think we left some points out there but overall I think we did a good job."
The points-left were on the only intercepted Mississippi State, by QB Chris Relf on third down at the UK 19-yard line just before halftime. Mullen called it the right decision to throw that way, with two Bulldogs in the area; Relf simply mislocated. But it was the senior's only blemish all evening as he threw for one touchdown in the opening quarter and ran for two more scores before intermission.
"We just had to go out and execute," said Relf of the very-much-improved efficiency. Relf certainly did, and in the process scored his first rushing touchdown—two of them at that—all season. He'd rushed for five scores in 2010.
"Red zone scoring is on our plan to win but it's one of those things that defines a game. You look at the opportunities, we got down there and scored touchdowns," Mullen said. He didn't say but surely implied 'instead of field goals'. Which is what Kentucky did on their first three trips to the MSU red zone. They got the trio of three pointers alright…but in harsh contrast each time the Bulldogs responded immediately with a touchdown.
"That was huge," said Mullen.
BIRTHDAY BOY: WR Michael Carr started the season with five catches the first two games, but had no receptions since. Not until tonight that is, as late in the first quarter he hauled in Tyler Russell's throw for a 40-yard gainer. The deep catch set up Mississippi State's second touchdown. And, it came on Carr's 21st birthday.
"Yeah, he did good!" said QB Russell. Better than good because Carr had to maneuver for position and literally overpower his man just to reach at the ball. "We practiced that actually," Russell reported. "Mike had a great week of practice and I threw some deep balls to him. He did the same thing, went up and caught it, so I trusted him."
GREEN LIGHT: But the night's longest completion, for that matter longest single play of the game, belonged to TE Marcus Green. In the second quarter State, already leading 14-6, had first down on their 38-yard line with Russell again under-center. Or rather taking the direct snap for a play-action that as planned froze Wildcat coverage.
Meanwhile Green leaked out and headed downfield between the hashes. "Tyler went through his progression and in that the tight end's job is just to get open," Green said. "When we do we have to make plays for the quarterback." He did, and Russell had all the time needed to deliver another long strike.
It might have been longer had Green not banged into the last Kat in support, safety Mikie Benton, and gone down on the 12-yard line. "I think I just ran out of gas!" Green joked. The irony is that he only needed another step to have a career-longest catch.
As it is Green now has caught three balls in the parts of four seasons played that went for 50 yards; no more, no less. Earlier in the game he had a 16-yard catch that also left Green spinning mid-air on the hit and hitting the ground helmet-first.
What Green didn't do was score a touchdown. That honor went to his fellow tight end, freshman Malcolm Johnson as he hauled in Russell's third-quarter strike. And it was a fastball indeed, from just 13 yards away. "It was a great throw by Tyler," Johnson said. "Great protection by our line giving Tyler time to throw. He had trust in me and I had trust him in."
Trust enough that Russell fired before the younger tight end looked back for the passer. Johnson still picked up the oncoming ball and got his hands up in time. Practice and timing, he said, and trust that if he got open Russell would notice. Oh, and just like Johnson's touchdown catch at UAB, this was a ball he had no choice but catch…
…because Russell put so much on it the leather locked onto gloves. "I had to catch it, the ball found me!" Johnson said. "And it was a great throw." And, further signs how State tight ends are an increasing part of the plans as young Johnson learns from old Dog Green. "We feed off each other, we keep each other motivated in practice and stuff," said Johnson. "He's a great leader to me and I'm glad to have him."
TICK, TICK, TICK: Dan Mullen has made it clear before, how time of possession is a mostly meaningless line on the stat sheet. He can certainly use this victory at Kentucky as proof. The Wildcats had the ball exactly 14 more clock-minutes, even out-snapped MSU 77 to 53 offensive plays. None of it mattered with the Bulldog offense hitting hard and fast.
The four scoring series added up to just over nine minutes of running clock. That would be quick even if the drives were set up by turnovers or returns. None of these were; three went 80 yards and the other 65. And while there were some big shots of 20, 30, and even 50 yards involved, it still took 23 snaps to cover all that ground.
"We just need more of them I guess!" Mullen joked about the quick-strike approach. In fact his team could have had more if not for a pair of first-half turnovers. The best measure of Mississippi State efficiency in the opening periods was P Baker Swedenburg had no more duty in the first half than holding three times on point-afters. He didn't have to punt until the third period, and only kicked twice all night.
ON THE OTHER HAND: In Mullen's three seasons success has swung, almost without fail, in accord with the turnover ratio. He came into Kentucky with a 15-0 record in games where the Bulldogs had fewer turnovers than the opponent.
Reminding that statistics often really are for losers, though, the Bulldogs got through a game without generating either an interception or a fumble recovery. Instead Mississippi State lost the handle twice and threw an interception, yet won the game anyway.
"It's not our best game when you turn the ball over three times," Mullen said. "But I tell you what, our kids played and made the plays when they needed to."
IN THE BAG: The Bulldog defense figured they had a chance to come after Kentucky quarterbacks, and prepared accordingly. "Coach stressed all week get a great pass rush, contain the run," said DT Josh Boyd. "He basically put it on our shoulders that we had to be the ones to stop this game, that we had to control the line of scrimmage. I think that's what we did tonight."
Did they ever, with 4.0 total official sacks, one hurry, and a few more flushings of the would-be passer. That was usually #2 quarterback Maxwell Smith, who would have played a good bit anyway with his throwing skills. But when running quarterback Morgan Newton went down on the second series with a hurt leg, after a DT Fletcher Cox sack, the heat was really dialed up.
"It was just doing things that we do in practice, beating the guy in front of you," said Cox, who finished with 2.0 sacks out of his 3.5 stops for losses and seven total tackles. "And I could tell it was working, we had a lot of pressure on the quarterback. We could have had more."
Actually Cox could have had at least one and maybe two more sacks, he meant. Once CB Johnthan Banks ran a corner-blitz and bagged Smith. "A couple more seconds and I would have been there but Banks did his job," Cox said. "I was kind of hot but I congratulated him! Actually I picked him up off the ground and threw him in the air!" With a soft landing thankfully.
The biggest pressure though didn't produce a sack, just a game-clinching incompletion. Kentucky's last chance to keep competitive saw them drive to State's eight-yard line with 4:52 left and fourth down. Smith dropped into an empty backfield that suddenly wasn't so empty as CB Corey Broomfield blew in from the off-side. Smith had to unload as the 180-pound corner dove into him at waist-level, and the throw missed everyone. "I just love to see that guy make plays!" Boyd said.
Cox, now… "Me and Broom actually came in at the same time. When Broom hit him I was surprised, I was like wow! He beat me to it and did a real good job at it." So that's two chances to bag a passer taken away by a teammate. "Hey, I ain't selfish," Cox said. "If they beat me there they deserve it."
MSU-ELLANEOUS NOTES: State has beaten Kentucky at Lexington three-straight trips, the first time ever in the series…It was also State's third consecutive win in the overall series…Dan Mullen is unbeaten against Kentucky both as a MSU head coach (3-0) and Florida assistant (4-0)…Mullen has eight SEC wins in three seasons, six of them against Eastern Division teams…This was only the second time in seven years the winning team in this series had a double-digit margin of victory…The Bulldogs did not score a turnover in the victory, the first time in 16 games Mullen has won despite a negative ratio…Kentucky tried a gimmick for the home game by wearing black jerseys for the first time ever. It did not produce a win, any more than had Mississippi State's similar September gimmickry for their LSU game.

Web Partners: 5 Most Important Factors
At Beacon, we like to think of ourselves as a "partner", rather than a vendor. Finding a partner with "Brains, Beauty & Brawn" is not easy, but we like to think we are. You are embarking on a lengthy, stressful project and will spend 6-12 months with the partner you select. There will be lots of communication in meetings, by phone and through email. There will be differences of opinion and decisions. There will be bumps in the road, questions, timelines and scope creep. Ultimately, it's a team effort that culminates in a celebration. How you navigate through all this depends on the relationship with the partner you select as well as the following:
1. Process: To steal from Shakespeare, "There's a method in the madness." A project of this size requires a proven process and people that commit to it. A good project plan (and manager) charts the entire adventure as separate tasks that take you through the Strategy, Design and Development Phases. Each task has dependencies, scope, time estimates and owners. Take the time to evaluate the Project Manager because that person has the most difficult job on this project. He/she must have a wide variety of personal and professional skills to carefully manage many different relationships (administration, stakeholders, technical team, users, etc.) to reach the finish line on time and on budget.
2. Experience: There are two types of experience to evaluate. First, does the prospective partner have experience handling large, content-heavy website redesigns? Having Higher Ed experience is certainly worth bonus points, but not absolutely mandatory. Since these are typically lengthy projects that involve a number of different resources, meetings, decisions and tasks, choose a partner that has a demonstrated history of success over several years because it requires a strong business model.
Second, can the prospective partner identify the resources that will be working on your project that have the breadth and depth of skills necessary to make it a success. A car may look nice and shiny on the outside, but that doesn't mean it will run well. Web services have become highly specialized and with the investment you are making, a "jack-of-all-trades" isn't ideal. Depending on the scope of the website redesign effort for your college, take the time to check under the hood for the following:
- Project Manager
- Analysts (Google Analytics Data, Business Requirements, User Experience, Technical)
- Marketing Specialist (Branding, Creative)
- Web Graphic/UX Designer(s)
- User Interface Designer/Developer(s)
- Web Application Developer(s)
- Digital Marketing Specialists
- IT Systems Administrator(s)
- CMS User Trainer
3. Technical Skills: The underlying technology is sophisticated and there is too much risk to your college's brand for anything less than the right technical experts. There are a variety of programming languages, databases, protocols, techniques and best practices that must come together perfectly. Your new website will most likely contain the following:
- Content Management Software (many different content owners within the college)
- Site Search (so students, parents and other users can find things quickly)
- Google Analytics Integration (to track activity by students and others on your website)
- Contact Forms (to gather information from visitors by email or through a database)
- Google Maps (for directions and satellite views)
- Social Media Channels (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube)
- Other 3rd party software (admissions applications, event registration, etc.)
- Many, many images
- Video
- A variety of templates that work seamlessly on mobile, tablet and desktop devices.
- Thousands of pages of content
There's a lot to bring together, but don't forget, you will expect the following as well:
- 508 Compliance (for visually impaired)
- WCAG Compliance (meets web standards)
- Full utilization of the CMS, in terms of features and practices, that benefit your website visitors, but also support the content owners
- Coding to work effectively across 10 different browsers and multiple devices
- Fast page load performance
- Security within the website to only allow authorized users to publish content.
- Data tracking accuracy across domains and devices
- Online forms to deliver data quickly and accurately via email (or other means)
- Branding and navigation to be locked down to ensure high quality & consistency
- New content and modified content to be published quickly
4. Creative Skills: When discussing "creative" with respect to Higher Ed website design, most people immediately think "visual creativity". But don't forget the value, and need, for "technical creativity/innovation". Most colleges and universities have a traditional branding/style guide, but many have yet to incorporate a "web style guide" to govern the use of colors, imagery, iconography, photography, fonts, etc on their website. Print doesn't always translate well to digital, where web-safe colors and fonts must be considered for usability, compliance, device and browser purposes. Your school's brand must prevail through the entire website, which will entail creatively overcoming many web technology restrictions. So choose a partner with a brand management foundation that also fully understands how to translate creative ideas to web technology.
We quite often get requests that start with, "Can we do this?" We always answer, "Just about anything is possible. It's just a matter of how much you want to pay for it." Unfortunately, for some reason, technical creativity gets overlooked. A good web partner will work to say "Yes" to these questions with viable, cost-effective options that maintain the integrity of the overall website. Collaboration among savvy UI Developers, Application Developers and Graphic Designers will generally lead to multiple options to consider. Having a Web Partner with this mentality will prove to be an asset as you work through speed bumps in the project plan.
5. Support: When colleges put out an RFP for a website redesign, their primary focus is selecting a vendor to deliver their new website. Therefore, as most RFPs have a sentence or two related to support and "an hourly rate for maintenance". Take this more seriously. You are about to invest 5-6 figures in a 6-12 month project with a firm that will become closely involved with your school, staff, technology, content and website. Not only will you have invested in a new website, but you will have invested time in "training" your partner.
Once your new website is launched, there will be bugs, modification requests, content management questions, new feature ideas and possibly even turnover in university website resources. Your partner won't require the ramp-up time of a new addition to your staff, which is a huge long-term benefit.
When selecting a firm, emphasize your expectations around long-term support (more than just how much it will cost per hour). Ask respondents to describe how they handle change requests, particularly with respect to the process (ticketing system?) and resources (same project manager, developers?). And lastly, get feedback from their references specifically about support – timeliness, quality, dependability.

The Brief
The DMAM Awards celebrates the best of DM ideas among ad agencies. Yet up to 2009, participation in the show has steadily declined. Beyond creating the call-for-entries mailer, how do we revive participation in DMAM 2009 and raise the status of direct marketing as an effective weapon alongside traditional advertising?
The Solution
The fabled Trojan Horse is a great example of how a single idea, brilliantly crafted and executed, can break through seemingly impenetrable walls to reach its target and be remembered forever. And by bringing the iconic secret weapon to life on the awards submission website, we jolted jaded agency folk to "write their names into history" with their own powerful ideas.
The Results
The Trojan Horse proved to be the perfect metaphor for direct marketing, and indeed, the perfect weapon for us. Our attention-grabbing approach resulted in a 100% increase in participation, with a mix of 16 advertising, digital and DM agencies taking part (only 8 the previous year), and over 200 entries received. It was a remarkable achievement considering the budget cuts from clients and agencies due to the economic slump.

Today's Devotional
Unappreciated?How does gratitude draw us closer to Jesus?
Top Music Videos
I Will Never Be The Same - Susan Ashton, Michelle Tumes, Christine Dente
This is a song from the 2004 album "Lost In Wonder", a compilation album by three wonderful Christian female artists, Michelle Tumes, Susan Ashton, and Christine Dente. I'm not positive, but I think this is Susan Ashton singing lead on this one, although it also sounds a lot like Michelle Tumes. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. By the way, this is a delightful album, I highly recommend it. This song is typical of the rest of the album.

It was dark, and warm, and comfortable, and the last thing in Shion's sleeping mind was the possibility of waking up. However, the insistent little nose leaving a cold impression on his cheek just ruined his plans. Groaning quietly, he moved around and disentangled from his sheets to sit on the mattress and look at the dark furred mouse beside his pillow.
"Oh, it's you, Moonlit", he whispered, hoarse from sleep. Stifling a yawn, he reached for the little recipient the mouse was carrying in his small pawns. "Is that from my mother?"
Moonlit makes little mousey noises that Shion understand as a "yes". After a yawn, the boy opened the capsule to read the rolled paper. Then, with a half laugh, half moan, he wondered whether he should be amused or frustrated.
"If you make a habit of keeping me awake at night, I won't let you sleep here anymore", came the annoyed, muffled warning from the other side of the bed.
With an apologetic smile, Shion fixed the white sheet over the other's body and sighed. He always woke up lethargically and had not noticed he was making enough fuss to wake Nezumi up. Maybe it would be better if he got off the bed.
Shion had one feet on the floor already when strong arms circled his waist and pulled him back on the mattress with more force than necessary, making the white haired man hit his head on the board.
"Ouch", he complained, in a deadpan way. Nezumi ignored it and just strengthened his embrace, burying his face on Shion's back like he was a pillow. Or a teddy bear.
Okay, the thought of Nezumi hugging a teddy bear was kind of hilarious and absurd.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"I'm getting of the bed to let you sleep?"
"And who said you could go and do that?"
"Well, you said you wouldn't let me sleep here if I kept you awake", was the answer, in the logical, no-nonsense manner Shion usually answered everything. Nezumi wondered if he would ever learn how to interpret – and counter – sarcasm.
"You don't need go away, Your Majesty. It's enough to put your pretty little head back on the pillow and stay still." Sighing, Nezumi bit Shion's left shoulder blade. The other boy shuddered a little.
"Moonlit just came in with a message from my mother, and I thought it was better if I answered."
At that, Nezumi shifted to prop himself on his elbow so he could look at the Shion's face. It was almost sunrise, and a quiet blue hue lightened the entire room. The day before, Shion had curled around him in that same bed and commented it looked like they were floating on a cloud, in the morning sky, waiting for the sun.
Trust Shion to become a poet when half awake.
As for Nezumi, he still wasn't used to his new home inside the fallen walls of the former No. 6. It was too illuminated, for once. His former house was dark all the time, unless he had a candle or lantern. This one was also eerily bigger: even though all the compartments were the same, there was enough space for all his books, his piano, three couches, and an actual kitchen instead of a caldron.
It did not resemble a Mouse Den, as the other one did. Nezumi resented that, obviously, but… It was closer to Shion.
He would be a dead man before he said, high and clear, that Shion was the sole reason he had accepted living there.
"Karan sent a message?". He arched one eyebrow, intrigued. Shion turned under the remaining arm around his middle and tilted his head up to look at Nezumi. In the early morning remaining darkness, it was almost impossible to distinguish his snake-like scar. His white hair, thought, made him look like some character from "A Midsummer Night's Dream".
Shion lifted his arm to give Nezumi the paper.
"Where are you? I spent the night waiting", Nezumi read aloud, surprised. "She can't be serious. We both said goodbye to her last night."
Shion closed his eyes and sighed, turning a little to touch his forehead on the hollow of Nezumi's neck. "Yes, but I had never slept with you before yesterday."
At that, Nezumi smirked. "You're not that naïve, Shion. I'm sure Karan is perfectly aware of what we've been doing at night in your bed. You're not exactly quiet."
Shion fought his blush with a frown that was anything but scary. And while Nezumi knew his lover (or boyfriend, or whatever) could make a pretty demonic face when pissed off, this one was downright cute. Like pouting cute.
"That's not it. I mean, I had never slept, in the literal sense of the word, away from home. Since I came back, I mean."
Nezumi widened his eyes in understanding. While he had not been around when mother and son had been reunited, Inukashi had been only glad to share details of the scene. First, Karan had hugged her son, in spite of his completely abnormal hair, and eyes, and general demeanor. Then, she slapped him. And then, she hugged him again. And then, she made him promise to never worry her like that again.
Apparently, Inukashi thought Shion's quickly agreement thoughtfully pathetic.
"Oh. She is worried."
"Yes. This is the second time I sleep away from her in three years, I guess."
The two fell is thoughtful silence. Nezumi ran his free hand up and down Shion's arm, his face serious.
"She should know you're safe."
"She'll have to adapt to it."
To me went unsaid.
"And now that's out of our way, shut up and sleep."
Nezumi pulled Shion over his chest, resting his white haired head in his shoulder, clearly implying he would not hear another word. Shion rolled his eyes, but snuggled closer and looked for a comfortable position. It was not long before he was breathing quietly.
Nezumi waited to be sure he was sleeping deeply before he got off the bed with the stealth of a cat and approached the messenger mouse. He reutilized Karan's small paper and wrote on its verse, before folding the message and putting it back in the capsule.
Satisfied with himself, he climbed back on the bed and wormed his way to the previous position, with Shion draped over him.
That morning, Karan received a nostalgic message, and smiled:
Shion is safe.
A/N: This thing just attacked me in the middle of the night, I swear!
Disclaimer: No. 6 is not my idea and all that.

Health Benefits of
This site was launched in 2003 to share information on quality aloe vera products I had used, since 1992, on my family, household pets and animals on my farm. (Farming is my offline business)
When the aloe products I had used for so long were no longer available or suitable I began searching worldwide in early 2008 for a replacement. This is when it was confirmed big-time in my mind that the quality of so many aloe vera products available still left much to be desired.
My concerns and questions centered around inadequate labelling, misleading advertising, plus the quantity, potency and purity of the aloe vera content.
Often the aloe vera product would also contain parabens, colorants and other synthetic chemicals especially if it was a skin care product. My skin has been chemical free for 10 years so no matter how good the aloe is it won't go on my skin when mixed with chemicals and it certainly won't be swallowed if in liquid or capsule form.

My redneck sled..
I got the idea of using an air mattress from timberghost. Noticed some pics a year or so back where thats what he used.
I kept getting holes in them so decided to wrap them in a tarp to add some protection. It worked longer but I still got a couple small tears after a couple of hours.
I need to find a tougher air mattress.
we usually buy cheap wally world pool rafts work well also
as those give you something to hold on to but I think the air mattress
is probably stronger
probably a lot safer than the car hoods we'd pull behind jeeps.:bag:
Try a cheap 2 man rubber raft, we use them here and you can hook the tow lug on the front of the raft up to a 4-wheeler.
I have always just used the tube we pull behind the boat in the summer behind the atv in the snow in the winter.
if you want to go the really cheap route just lather the kids up in lard & tell them to hold on to the rope really tight

Room Type: Inside
I paid a very good price for this cruise through . And based on the low price and the age of the ship, I was pleasantly surprised by everything on board. The food was fair; but the entertainment was excellent! The ship has been pleasantly refurbished and absolutely loved the three Jacuzzi's on the top deck. Also, having the band play music on deck added to the festive atmosphere. The service from everyone on board was mind-boggling excellent! The only thing that truly bothered me, is that the drinking water was horrible! I would however, travel again on the Empress of the Seas.
