Coating makes swallowing batteries safer for curious kids
It can be a herculean task to get kids to eat their vegetables, but they'll happily chow down on things they aren't supposed to. If one of those things is a button battery, serious injuries can result in the form of burns to the esophagus or tears in the digestive tract. Researchers may not have found a way to stop kids swallowing button batteries, but they have found a way to make such culinary no-nos safer. Read More
Our bodies have evolved to be pretty good at dealing with incursions by foreign objects and bacteria. Usually, that's a positive thing, but it can spell trouble for medical devices, such as replacement joints, cardiac implants and dialysis machines, which increase the risk of blood clots and bacterial infection. Now researchers at Harvard University have developed a surface coating that smooths the way for medical devices to do their job inside the human body. Read More
Cashmere is a fine quality wool whose delicate nature generally means a trip to the dry cleaner is required to deal with any stains on an article of clothing made from the material. But now researchers at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has developed a self-cleaning coating made up of nanoparticles that removes stains from cashmere by exposing the garment to light.

Chances are that the touchscreen on your smartphone or tablet incorporates a coating of indium tin oxide, also known as ITO or tin-doped indium oxide. Although it's electrically conductive and optically transparent, it's also brittle and thus easily-shattered. Scientists at Ohio's University of Akron, however, are developing something that could ultimately replace the material. They've created an electrode coating that's not only as transparent and more conductive than ITO, but is also far tougher. Read More
Hospital-acquired infections are a major health threat, and have prompted the development of preventative measures incorporating things like blue light and selenium nanoparticles. One of the latest such developments is a light-activated antimicrobial surface coating made from silicone, dye and gold. For some reason, it also works in the absence of light. Read More
The higher the temperature at which an aircraft engine is able to run, the more efficiently it uses fuel. In order to run at those high temperatures, the metal components of airplane engines are presently treated with heat-shielding coatings. Scientists at Sweden's University West, however, are developing a new such coating that is said to be far more effective than anything presently used – it could extend the service life of engines by 300 percent.

Starpath spray-on coating lights up the road
UK company Pro-Teq has developed a new water-resistant, spray-on coating that absorbs UV light during the day and releases it at night, adapting to the lighting conditions in its surroundings. The technology is being given a test run at the Christ's Pieces park in Cambridge, and could prove a cost effective alternative to conventional street lighting. Read More
Researchers at Northwestern University have discovered new ways of utilizing the properties of naturally occurring polyphenols found in green tea, red wine and dark chocolate. Dissolving polyphenol powders in water with a small amount of salt instantly produces transparent coatings that kill bacteria on contact, have antioxidant qualities and are non-toxic. The sticky nature of polyphenols and the low cost of materials could open the door to a wide range of uses for these coatings. Read More
Joanna Aizenberg, Ph.D. and her team at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University have improved upon the Slippery Liquid-Infused Porous Surfaces (SLIPS) technology they developed back in 2012. The ultra smooth surface, which the team claims is the slipperiest known synthetic surface, has now been made transparent and more durable, giving it the potential to make the issues glass has with sticky liquids, frost and ice formation, and bacterial biofilms a thing of the past.

Super-black nanotechnology might sound like something ripped from the pages of a comic book, but instead of being in the hands of a super-villain, it's a NASA-researched technology that is set to make spacecraft instruments more sensitive without increasing their size. John Hagopian, an optics engineer at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, and his team have demonstrated the ability to grow a uniform layer of carbon nanotubes on oddly shaped platforms, which will extend the potential of the technology by allowing nanotubes to be grown on 3D components.

― Jarod Kintz,
The Tax Factor was created to educate individuals and small-business owners about taxes. Let's face it, nothing in life is guaranteed except death and taxes. Okay, maybe that sounded pretty depressing but the goal of this blog is to help you find the information to learn how to make taxes work for you. Taxes can be extremely complicated but knowing about deductions and credits can save you thousands of dollars per year.

There are ways to transform marketing challenges into sales-generating opportunities.
Social media tools are one way to reach out to current and prospective artichoke customers this Spring. Ocean Mist, for example, has created an Artichoke Aficionados Club that provides members with what the company describes as "the inside scoop on all things artichokes."
The club now has more than 33,000 members, Tuggle says.
"These club members are provided what they are looking for when it comes to artichokes: recipe ideas, how-to videos and email blasts with where to find artichokes on sale," Tuggle says.
Ocean Mist also offers a mobile site — m.oceanmist.com — that includes an exclusive list of retail artichoke promotions so consumers can find artichoke sales in their preferred banner store and region, Tuggle says.
Displaying point-of-sale materials that feature artichoke selection and preparation tips, recipes and information that drives customers to a store's website are other ways to engage customers and encourage them to buy.

MarineMap Consortium
Marine Map – Marine Life Protection Act Initiative Overview
Under the leadership of the Marine Science Institute at UC Santa Barbara, and with help from Ecotrust, and The Nature Conservancy, MarineMap was introduced to facilitate the design and evaluation of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) as defined by California's Marine Life Protection Act Initiative (MLPAI). This collaboration brought together skills that included open-source software development, marine science data management, analysis and visualization, local knowledge data collection, social and economic analysis, as well as stakeholder engagement and conservation planning.
Implementation of the MLPAI required stakeholders to understand and use a complicated set of spatial and scientific requirements for MPA design that relied heavily on geographic information. Tools for the delivery and visualization of geographic information changed radically during the seven years of the MLPA planning process, and the creation of a spatial decision support system that enabled public and stakeholder participation in designing MPAs was essential for its success.
Developed on a web-based open-source platform, MarineMap provided an intuitive user experience and offered a simple, flexible, and powerful means for users to share ideas and foster collaboration among various stakeholders. MarineMap moved spatial analysis away from the domain of GIS experts to a broader group of stakeholders by simplifying complicated spatial concepts and science-based MPA design guidelines, quickly delivering critical information that allowed users to iterate through MPA scenarios rapidly.
Licensed by the University of California Regents, the open-source code may be downloaded here.
MarineMap Features:
The easy-to-use interface allowed users to:
- Visualize social and ecological attributes of coastal areas
- Draw and assemble networks of prospective MPAs
- Specify types of regulations to be applied to each MPA, as well as goals and objectives fulfilled
- Generate reports that assess MPAs according to scientific guidelines as well as social and economic impacts
- Share MPA boundaries and networks with other users
- Quickly and easily modify MPA concepts as the process evolved
MarineMap's Impact
By placing stakeholders at the center of the planning process, and providing tools that encouraged their participation, MarineMap brought both transparency and greater investment by stakeholders and the general public to the MLPAI process. MarineMap was used by stakeholders in the Southern (Point Conception to the California/Mexico border) and Northern (California/Oregon border to Alder Creek near Point Arena in Mendocino County) MLPAI study regions to develop and submit MPA network proposals. Stakeholders and the general public generated over 20,000 prospective MPA designs, which ultimately lead to the establishment of 49 MPAs and 3 special closures in the South Coast study region. These designations cover approximately 354 square miles of state waters and represent approximately 15 percent of the region. In addition, there are approximately 15–20 new MPAs in the North Coast study region currently under review by the California Department of Fish and Game Commission.
For More information, contact Will McClintock at UCSB Santa Barbara.
"MarineMap gets people honestly talking about where they can find common ground."
— Ken Wiseman, Executive Director, Marine Life Protection Act Initiative

Great looking tool chest. Adding Kaizen foam inside the drawers (and top section) would be a nice finishing touch. Available at Rockler or Amazon. It would keep everything from bouncing around and shifting when the chest is moved about. I have it in all my tool drawers so the items don't shift when the drawers move.

Improving self confidence
NPL healing is the name of a powerful psychic technique for improving self confidence and changing every aspect of your life for the better. NPL is a distance therapy developed by Linda Evans. It is based on new discoveries concerning the origin of problems in life, misery in the world and the subconscious mind. Linda Evans discovered the subconscious mind is the almost unique factor that determines our whole personality (self-esteem, confidence among other things), our health, our view on life, the situations we encounter in life and our abilities. NPL is a method for improving self confidence and every part of life.
Linda Evans has considerable psychic abilities that enable her to perceive the subconscious mind in and around man. This subconscious mind consists of a positive and a negative part. The negative part are the 'patterns'. They are responsible for psychological problems, poor health, negative circumstances in life and low ability. NPL can improve self confidence by acting on this subconscious mind since these patterns can be both perceived and broken down by Linda Evans. Consequently all the problems caused by it, will completely and forever cease to exist.
NPL healing is a distance treatment since the programmes can be broken down from a distance by Linda Evans. Improving self confidence with NPL is a powerful method that doesn't require any effort or cooperation from your part. It is not important whether or not you are sceptical or think positive about the outcome. There are people who have been treated with NPL and who testify about the unique results of this therapy. They confirm that NPL has improved self confidence and brought about many other positive changes in their lives. To watch these, click on example treatments.
Although NPL can bring about many positive changes in life, this is not what this technique is ultimately meant for. Above all, NPL aims to free the soul of all the patterns or the entire 'programme'. NPL can do much more than improving self confidence or improving self-esteem. This therapy is based on a totally new view on man. It is the view of NPL that man is a soul in a body captured in an evil programme that aims to keep the soul in an eternal cycle of reincarnation and to make the soul suffer.
NPL can release the soul from this programme. More information on this method for improving self confidence can be found in the free book 'A new view on man, the subconscious mind and misery in the world'.
Apart from the distance treatment performed by Linda Evans herself, there is a free version of this therapy: NPL self treatment. The energies that surround Linda Evans also move towards people who think of her in a concentrated way and thereby ask her for 'energy'. This free technique also yields good results, as many people have already experienced.

Check-out the one offered by Broward County (Public) community schools. I think there's one usually offered either at Sheridan Community School or Hollywood Hills. I'm no expert, but I think first you become a "licensed real estate agent" and then if you wanted to go on you can become a licensed "realtor" so probably what you want is the real estate agent course, which I think runs about $300, maybe less. |

We bought 70s era house in FL couple of years ago which was for sale "as-is"...it was a relo sale and there was no negotiating regarding any "flaws" that came up in inspection review...the house is next door to our daughter and for the most part was in good shape with some expensive remodeling/updates. One thing not touched was the master bath...we knew the shower tile was not in great shape but it seemed to be holding its own...until yesterday... The new cleaner we had was trying to stick the shower mat to the wall by the suction cups and caused tiles on the wall to come loose...some cracked and fell off...we covered with plastic and duct tape for now. The issue about total redo vs just shower is really that I want to take out the large tub and make a large shower stall and my husband wants to keep a tub in the fairly narrow space where there is a large acrylic-type/faux marble soaker tub set at an angle so they could put in full-size tub when house was built. Neither of us is a tub person...I haven't had a bath in probably 12 years that I can remember...he just doesn't want to give up the tub because he thinks doing so will downgrade the bath for resale in future...I know that isn't always the case now but I won't be able to convince him of that... there is tradition tub/shower combo in the other/guest bath--which is also original but think in better shape...so house would have a tub... The photo shows how the current tub is slanted and angles into the floorspace--it is a NARROW room...I don't think a normal tub will fit if it is set straight from wall to wall...my husband measured and think width of room is less than 6feet...the opening uses a pocket door so there is no swing to worry about... there is small linen closet/bifold door to the left of opening w/small shower built into the corner between closet and corner...there is window in shower which might have caused some of the intrusion problem because the shower was not redone when window was replaced several years ago by previous owners... I know that a soaking tub that is more upright and deep vs wide might be an option but we are both seniors--climbing in and out of tub like that wouldn't really be desirable for either of us and don't know how it would work for resale either... Does anyone have suggestions for smaller tubs or photos of Japanese type tubs-- a style like that doesn't really fit with the "look" I would use either from what I have seen of them...but might be best option. |

Could you post more pics of the bathroom and also a floor plan as it is now? That is quite the tub! |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Fri, Jun 20, 14 at 15:14
I think you might do better with a nice sized shower rather than trying to squeeze in a small tub and a small shower. Most manufacturers have stopped making high quality small tubs (especially short tubs) because they sold them only in small volume. I put a small tub in my basement bathroom and between the time I designed the bathroom and was ready to order, American Standard discontinued the one I spec'd , and Kohler dropped all of their short or unusually shaped tubs within the past couple of years (they still make the 54" Seaforth). I ended up using a Bootz steel tub that cost something like $165 and is essentially made to put in a trailer. It's not something I would put in a master bath. |
I agree with pal that you would be better served with a larger shower and no tub, since you aren't "tub people" (me neither) Maybe try selling your DH on a big shower with ADA features that could be useful to you, but also big selling points too. Things like curbless (or minimal) threshold, grab bars, regular and handheld showerheads and room for a bench or shower chair are becoming increasingly popular. DH and I are in our 40s, and we are removing the giant eyesore tub we never use and adding some ADA features to a walk in shower as a result of an injury to DH playing ball. Maybe a realtor friend can help convince DH! |
Here is a link that might be useful: one link with ADA info

Thanks for the info on the tub-- we remodeled master bath about 4-5 yrs ago in home we owned but rented to our son--we neeed to find a smaller tub for space that the acrylic soaker was in-- ordered it at Ferguson's and think it was AS--was a fiberglass tub--not my favorite but wasn't that expensive and fit the space... Maybe if my husband sees there are no nice small tubs he will agree to the shower upgrade We are familiar with aging in place stuff--house we bought in TX has roll in showers in both downstairs bathrooms and some other features... I think there might be room to extend the side of the shower closest to toilet a foot or so which can make a difference in such small space...but it would make toilet sort of lopsided on the wall spacing... |

You are right, they do. And if you don't have to worry about flanging it for an alcove /shower situation (like the OP), it could be a good option). I tend to miss this in searches because I prefer cast iron (another material that is going by the wayside). |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Sat, Jun 21, 14 at 20:13
You can not expand the tub area into the toilet space. There are code required minimums that exist for spacing and yours looks to be near that minimum. |

How Humana is using Drupal to Drive Repeat Visitors with Personalized, Multi-Channel Campaigns [November 21, 2012]
How Humana is using Drupal to Drive Repeat Visitors with Personalized, Multi-Channel Campaigns [November 21, 2012]
Want to learn more about Acquia's products, services, and happenings in the Drupal Community? Visit our site: http://bit.ly/yLaHO5.
Please join representatives from Market-bridge, Digital Bungalow, and Acquia as they discuss how Humana is leveraging Drupal to deliver personalized web experiences and multi-channel campaigns that inspire repeat visitors, drive engagement and spark conversion.
Highlights of the Web Experience Management solution implemented at Humana include:
• Personalized content and recommendations for site users based on interests and actions on the site
• Optimized mobile sites that are socially engaging using the latest in responsive design techniques
• Integration with multiple existing marketing tools including Analytics and both direct mail and email campaigns software
• Seamless Data export to a 3rd party provider for a comprehensive, 360 degree view of campaign performance
Jenny: Today, we have Jason Yarrington, VP Professional Services from Digital Bungalow; Andy Patrick, VP Analytics from MarketBridge as well as our own John Carione, here from Acquia to present with us today. At this point, I will pass it over to John Carione.
John: Great. Thanks Jenny. Thanks everybody for joining us today. My name is John Carione. Again, I'm Senior Director of Solutions Marketing here at Acquia and I'm very happy to be joined by Andy and Jason who were responsible for the Humana implementation of Drupal and Drupal WEM Solution. At this point, I'm going to talk about for the first 10 minutes or so is really how and why organizations are choosing to build WEM Solutions on Drupal and really why it's helping redefine the shape of digital marketing on the web. Then we're going hear a lot more detail about the actual implementation of a strategic microsite of mywell-being.com from Humana and all the great results they'd have from that in 2012.
To kick it off, digital marketing really is a hot topic in the media today amongst industry analyst, industry journalist and it's really become ... digital marketing has now just become marketing. It's just like the term mobile applications will soon be talked about simply as applications. The base of straight line one to many marketing with static sites that are really in place to just house information about your products and services, that's long been over. The web is really a strategic hub of all your customer interactions today and digital marketers definitely need to understand and embrace technology to be successful in their own job and for the organization to be successful and sustain a competitive advantage.
In WEM Solutions built on the Drupal platform really helped bridge that gap between the chief marketing officer and the chief information officer. They need to work together a lot more today in this new paradigm and the challenges faced by each of these organizations are really the two sides of the same coin that's ultimately trying to solve the same problem for the organization.
Marketing is trying to achieve poor business objectives and KPIs around marketing in different lead generation. I'll talk a little about their objectives and IT just trying to facilitate and accelerate those results with using different technology platforms but they have a much more slowly, growing budget so they have to be very focused in their approach. For instance, just a couple of example, marketing needs to create a new tablet based microsite to reach a new younger customer segment.
On the flipside, IT then needs to get the mobile application built across IOS, android, or Window's platforms. If marketing wants to be more personalized and generate more personalized experiences on their site, then I see it's going to need to understand how to facilitate web-to-web integration with existing analytic suites that they might already own. If marketing wants to manage all their digital assets in a central location to facilitate content sharing and reuse across multiple geographic sites, then IT needs to offer shared service for digital assets. You really can think about these problems as the same side of a coin and ultimately, WEM is bridging that gap.
Ultimately, what matters is we've been able to track, and with the analyst track that WEM's driving real ROIs for digital marketing today. A couple of examples, 73 percent of companies are planning an investment in mobile channels for 2012, 55 percent of consumers felt positively when companies responded to a social media posting or recommendation. From one report, best in class companies were 3.8 times more likely to change content based on visitor behavior and if they were, in that case superior to their peers, they had a 148 percent return on a marketing investment. They'd have 63 percent gross rate and revenues and 13 percent increase in year over year customer profitability so those are the stats from a report that came out this past year [audio gap] in terms of share of wallet profitability and revenue over their peers who aren't best in class. It really does matter to the bottom line and top line today.
Ultimately, we're helping build these WEM-like solutions on the Drupal platform and really creating the whole product and ecosystem around it. Here are some of our thoughts abound the best practices for optimizing your content marketing. When I think about all the things, we'll hear that Humana is doing today with their My Well-being site and that's pretty well to our best practices and model for content marketing in the enterprise.
Number one, prospects and customers need to find the content that's relevant for them. It has to be easy and simple. That content needs to have a call to action for them to progress the next step in the funnel, in the lead funnel. It needs to be able to easily share that content with other prospects in sort of one quick way and the content need to assist in driving out bound marketing initiatives. When you've done all that, you need to measure it. You need to measure the results and measure the ROI on the content itself so you'd understand that you're creating the right content for the right audiences and that variable marketing spend is the right spend.
Ultimately, marketing doesn't necessarily care what platform or groups of technologies are implemented. They want to use the best one, they want to use the ones that are right for their business, but they care about true marketing results so I did want to tie it back to that. We believe there are four key objectives generating new business, building loyalty and customer advocacy and expanding the total available pool of prospects for your business and all the while, they need the right controls in place to determine how they're meeting their objectives in real time with measurement. These are things we're constantly doing as digital marketers over and over again ... solutions on Drupal for web experience can facilitate that. Just to drill in and tie those key performance indicators and objectives quickly back to Drupal, first and maybe foremost, is demand generation. The top objectives for Humana's My Well-Being site is lead generation for new prospects and customers.
Strategically, organizations like Humana are using these WEM solutions on Drupal to drive site traffic, increase customer attention and the time they spent on the site and then increase the conversion rates to a purchase or other metrics that they use around conversation, and ultimately, capture a larger share of wallet for their customer segments.
Drupal allowed larger organizations to accomplish these lead generation goals in a lot of different ways. By generating personalized content things like banner ads, videos, white papers that are targeted based on a customer's specific profile and understand their actions such as what sites have they visited, what explicit keyword searches are they doing on a particular page, really helped demand be generated. It could also be generated through social networks via technologies like Drupal Commons and Drupal Commons is our distribution for generating communities on the web. Those communities can help connect prospects with other prospects, ultimately, creating better recommendations for your products and services.
Another way is new optimized mobile microsite campaigns can be spun up really quickly in Drupal so you can also be very effective at reaching a new audience or customer segment using advanced responsive design techniques available with mobile applications.
Just a couple examples there on Drupal for lead gen and priming the demand talk. Now if you want to build advocates and loyal brand advocates for your business, brand dilution has been a big problem for large multinational organization so creating a deeper connection to create these advocates can enhance the business, ultimately delivering in a consistent message by leveraging Drupal's ability to automate language translation is one way to ensure brand integrity in new local markets, on local department sites or local geographic sites, and they also might have unique market requirements where you need to get very specific localized content up to that page. It can be facilitated very easily with Drupal and our partners and also because Drupal is a very modular data driven platform, it allows marketers the freedom to integrate with all the latest tools and technologies that are hot today, things like gamification with Badgeville. We announced that integration a few weeks ago.
You can even push data at the mobile application or to update thing like coupons or promotions when a buyers in the vicinity of one of your bricks and mortar shops or even create a special promotion for in-store shoppers, they don't browse at your store and then walk out of the store and buy on an online merchant or one of your competitors so we've actually talked a lot of customers who've asked us to help them with that. Drupal is really a very flexible platform to meet all of these digital marketing used cases and create those bigger connections, greater connections with your loyal base.
The third big one is expanding your footprint so third goal from marketing leader is typically to expand the total prospect base and market for products and services. That can be accomplished in a number of ways including trying to reach the younger tech savvy audience by expanding in a new geography with untapped demand.
Drupal can also be effective to reach audiences by pushing out promotions or campaigns or creating new product launches to existing social properties like Facebook or Google+. Because of the open source development practices, when the new community becomes really hot for digital marketers like it did earlier this year with the rise of Pinterest, open source development allows the community to create a modular and real time. It took only a month for a Pinterest module to be created to allow a bunch of customers to create the ability to pin images on their site immediately.
With proprietary solutions, there's often a very long drawn out process to proprietize the integration on the road map and execute it with your in-house engineers. On the flipside, we have 22,000 developers worldwide that are constantly prioritizing the problems that need to be solved today. That really isn't much of a weight at all.
After you've achieved these objectives, you need to measure the success. You need to refine the criteria that you're doing the measuring. You need to optimize the customer experience the next time a prospect hits your site. For measurement, you want to think about tracking how many users watch the particular video on your site all the way through without abandoning it. Perhaps how many users click submit on a particular form and these things can be tracked easily in Drupal via integration with analytic suites that you most likely already have in-house.
The second step is refining your campaigns by segmenting traffic to spot high value web traffic in a particular page or mobile site and then determine different abandonments spots. Maybe the abandonments happening in the shopping cart on your e-commerce site but to be able to refine and pinpoint exactly where those bottom acts are happening.
Finally, you need to make real changes so you can't just be satisfied with the status quo. You need to change the site by doing testing on your messaging perhaps, leveraging your CRM system to create even more personalized content, tapping in to CRM to understand more about your customer profiles, create more refined segments and then getting that personalized content out to that segment and ultimately, need to iterate on this for best results over time.
Just to finalize before we got into the bulk of the presentation which is the case study, this is where you made an announcement around open WEM a couple of weeks ago. We followed up on that announcement with paper from Forrester that talks about is it time to consider open source for delivering digital experiences online.
If you haven't read that paper yet, I definitely encourage you to go to openWEM.com and read that. It's very insightful but here's our vision of what Drupal is for digital marketers. It is the unified platform for content community and commerce and we believe that in the future, the alternative key proprietary today is taking an open WEM approach to building these digital experiences online and a unified platform for doing WEM social business software, e-commerce along that customer journey, we think is a great place to start. There's a lot of areas of differentiation for us, we think.
We have open SaaS models so if you're not satisfied with the way we're managing your site, you can zip up the file, take the content, the code and you can go elsewhere. If you are using SaaS applications today and you feel a bit locked in because your customer data is controlled by a third party organization, we don't have any lock in. You can take your site, take your data and go somewhere else if needed. We really offer that flexibility freedom.
I talked about the open source innovation with the Pinterest example. We believe in unified platform for the full spectrum of the customer journey, constant community, commerce is the way to go. Mostly, because it creates better unified customer experiences on the front end for your customers but it also creates operational efficiencies with your development organization so you're not constantly still pipe to develop to social business community software today, web experience management software tomorrow to third party e-commerce application. You're developing on a unified platform and that saves time, speeds your development practices and it's a lot more efficient. We really have heard and to report that a lot of customers preferred best to breed to an all in one stock system for digital experiences. We know you got marketing automation and CRM and other technologies today that are working just fine or there might be another vendor that comes out with something great tomorrow you want to tap into, but we think Drupal is a great hub technology for content community commerce and we want to plug in those other marketing tools. We have free built integrations to all your meeting applications.
Then ultimately, what actually we've been doing the last five years is building a very mature cloud models so a lot of our competitors have come out with sort of be one of their cloud approach to WEM and social business, any commerce over the last year or so, but we have very mature technology to create development, testing and production environment move your site in between those stages to be able to do enterprise search, to be able to do SFO optimization, and a host of other thing we have available in our network, that is really the bread and butter as this market moves to the cloud. We think we're ready to handle all those requirements. Thanks for sticking with that. With that, I'm going to hand it over now to Jason to start taking us through the case study for building a web experience management on Drupal with Humana, so Jason.
Jason: Yes, thanks John. This is Jason Yarrington, the VP Professional Services here at Digital Bungalow where digital marketing and technology firm would focus on designing and developing websites and Andy Patrick is going to share this presentation with me. He's the VP Analytics at MarketBridge. I've been working with MarketBridge and Humana for the last four years on a really great program. I want to walk you through a little bit of background, the approach we took and redesign that we did a year ago, how Drupal integrated with that and some of the component that John just talked about how we're using the monosite. Andy is going to talk about how we use that open concept to integrate data from site with a lot of different sources and leverage it both in personalizing content and the analytic surface site. I'm excited to be here.
There's a kind of bigger story here in the site. If you're not familiar with Humana, Humana is one of the largest Medicare providers and a top health insurance. They offer Medicare advantage plans and prescription drug coverage to more than four and half million members throughout the United States. If you're not familiar with Medicare yet, in the Medicare Market, private insurance cannot market directly customers until they reach the age of eligibility. MarketBridge and Humana worked together to create a program four years ago to drive grand affinity in people ages 45 to 65. They asked the Digital Bungalow to create a website to be the center of that mobile channel campaign. As I've said, the program was a mobile channel marketing campaign with the site at hub. The website this time is called realforme.com and the featured articles by prominent bloggers have been several subject areas of pillars we've held in areas of health, self, family and life. The program was extremely successful. At the end of three years, over 370,000 people had signed up for the site. When Andy and his team analyzed the purchasing behavior of site subscribers, they found that they were much more likely to become on state Humana subscriber and a couple of years ago, the program was awarded the best web based customer retention and loyalty campaign by the CMO Council.
The question was now, how do we build on this success? MarketBridge called us just about a year ago and said, "Hey these are all great. Humana is very happy with the campaign. We all want to get together in Maryland to brainstorm ideas about where to go next with this campaign." We invite everyone involved in the website and program together, MarketBridge headquarters, Humana for full-day kickoff and brainstorm about a site redesign. We knew we're ready for a couple of key next step. We're definitely ready for redesign. The site was good but we need the program and move in to new direction and need a brand consistent with the direction. We've had a lot more content providers who were doing a lot more onsite, who are integrating a lot more things, and MarketBridge has secured the domain mywell-being.com and Humana is going to roll out a brand of refresh across Humana so it seems like a great opportunity. The realforme.com program has done really well of attracting site subscribers, a driving consideration for Humana and it definitely had an impact. One of the areas, we always struggled with was engagement and the spot that gave us improvement was definitely an area that been worth investing in.
We were getting a lot of people to the site but we won't getting as high percentage for repeat visitors as we'd like and more so, Andy and his team listed the analysis that showed that repeat site visitors were 66 percent more likely to add an additional Humana policy than one time site visitors, so this was an area. Engagement was an area we really want to focus on. Deeper analysis of repeat visitors showed us that they were definitely distinct group of users. People came back to site repeatedly did not explore the whole site but rather stayed in certain areas of site search subject matters. For instance, someone interested in particular blog or wrote about planning for retirement tended to read more finance related articles and skip over the other three major areas of the site. We have hypothesized that if we can generate more personal experience for each users, the site would be much more engaging and we have more repeat visitors.
To make the site more engaging, we focused on five key areas. We focused on personalization. You want to learn more about the user and serve the content relevant until now. We focused on approved content management. We had a lot of great content but Real for Me has been dealt on a custom CMS and a rate, which we can build on the applied features was not keep in pace as we keep adding more bloggers and more site editors. Mobile, the analytics were showing us the rapidly growing percentage of visitors were using mobile. It's not really a surprise but we knew we have to address them. Data integration, one of the strengths for the site has been data integration and we want to expand and refine our data integration to include all touch point, email, direct mail, and half line. Of course the analytics, to run a campaign like this, you need to rate analytics. We want to get better data into analysts' hands and we want to get better tools into their hands. Andy's team was always coming up with great stuff, was really kind of the backbone to the entire program but the tools in our CMS and the tools we were using can just weren't keeping pace and it's a little painful to get up what we wanted sometimes.
Let me walk you through a little bit more in depth of what we did. For personalization; to execute personalization, we started by driving new registrants to an interactive assessment to really serve two purposes. First, to get some information to help customize their content preferences, but also it's a yes or no right away but this is going to be a personalized experience. It's kind of like asking the user's permission to change their experience based on how they engage with the site. Let me show some examples, I knew you've also registered on the site with several questions about each of the subject areas, money, health, people and play. We invested a lot of time and thought into the visual cues, the users see about themselves and the preferences because it was a really cool and engaging experience. Users can really get to see the site is going to have content available for the type of person I am and not just be organized to a generic user or generic segment. Anyone just ask a bunch of questions and not let the user get that this is going to be personalized. They actually if you look at those little circles on the top right, those would change in size as they change questions or as they move the sliders so right away the person get this is going to be a different experience and not just content site but lot of content. Throughout the site, the user can get back to this personalization control. There is a persistent reminder on the right side bar of the site. Again, we want to keep it subtle in at front that this is a personalized experience. It's not just a content site.
The other big change we need to make was in content management to CMF we want with Drupal. The other component for the redesign and relaunch for the project needed this. John covered a lot of what Drupal brings to marketers at beginning this webinar. We needed more than just content management just some quick bullets. We need the sport users for custom user profile. We knew we're going to need sport mobile blog of their several different content sites. We knew we need to integrate data and feeds. We knew we need social sharing tools or content writing features etc. They all need to be aware of each other and not be an independent blogger.
Digital Bungalow today is Acquia partner. We do almost everything with Drupal but the time we were, so I said this is slightly a bigger story. We have to value what CMS's The big proprietary CMS's they're not promoting themselves as WEM just seemed to be taking us down a very rigid direction and some of the smaller open source CMS's. They content well and allowed designers to build good sites but there seemed to be something missing and Drupal really showed us what we thought we needed to build this. I think the last point is really what are the real strengths of Drupal and direction CMS is going. We needed social sharing tools, content rating features. We needed features we weren't even aware, we needed that, and we needed all of this features to be aware of each other, not just independent plugins. We're going to need social sharing data to feed into content writing data and content writing data feed into user data. All these things need to work together.
Another big change for the site was mobile. I've been talking about mobile so much in this last year at this point really kind seems obvious now, but the time we're having discussions every marketer has. We think we need a mobile out. What do we do about mobile? Our lead interactive developers brought responsive design to our attention. I'm sure a lot of people on the phone are familiar with responsive design by now but simply put it to technique for design and development, which allow us to optimize the display based on the size of the device you're on. With that, we can manage mobile tablet and top experience off on the same CMS. We don't treat mobile as a separate project anymore. Before we used to build the site and then we used to think about mobile, now mobile comes up in every single thing we do. There are other advantages too. Remember the mobile channel program. People are engaged to email direct mail and offline but the response of design we know for instance that if you're reading an email, a click on a link to the site, you're going to see an optimal and engaging experience whether you're on a computer or an iPhone. You're not going to see a page list just small for your iPhone or a mobile page that you're viewing from a PC. You're going to see and experience specific to your device.
Going back to the CMS and some of the stuff that we saw in Drupal, we actually did have to create some module to extend what we wanted to make personalization work the way we wanted to work and we've actually contributed this back to the community so you can check this out and there some updates coming to it. I'm going to turn this over to Andy. Andy maybe could share with everyone the role of data integration analytic's plate and upgrades to the program.
Andy: Sure, I'll be happy so Jason, thanks. Okay, at the core of the system, we have a rather robust analytic data warehouse and recording system that was designed and developed by MarketBridge. The data warehouse captures and integrates data from a wide variety of sources and marketing channels to create a unified 360-degree view in the customer and also gives us a holistic view of all program marketing activity and results. Some examples of the key sources of data that we capture and analyzed are customer demographics and attitudinal segments, digital marketing stem and response data, website activity from the Adobe site catalyst. We also looked at a variety of social media sources including Facebook, Twitter and Youtube, and this analytics engine that we've developed and we maintained has been critical in providing the program management team with the timely insights needed to make smart decisions on program strategy. At this point, all key program decisions are supported by empirical evidence and thorough data analysis. I'll turn it back over to Jason and he'll actually show us what the websites looks like to the end user.
Jason: I will walk you through a couple of screens. If you take a look if you go to mywell-being.com today and you come to the homepage, this is what the finished product looks like and this is what site looks like to the user. On this screen, what you're seeing is the default segment so this is a new user who's come to the site. They haven't done anything in the site yet. They haven't filled out the assessment. They haven't told anything about them. We don't know anything about them. They're going to see a featured article and the hero image. This is updated weekly to keep it fresh. It's sort of the traditional publishing model. The featured blocks in the next row have content from each area of the site. The users presented with pretty even distributional content from different subject areas and this is pretty much how the old site Real for Me use to work, but after you tell us a bit more about yourself, we start showing you more content relevant to your preferences. The example here, this is a user that lands on the segment of male or females under the age of 60. User has shown us they're predominantly interested and help relate content. We feature web and email content weighted towards the new heath content.
One of the things I've mentioned earlier and Andy eluded to when talked about the data integration, is that now we're taking this beyond what the user told us in their profile. All the content in the site and in fact, in all of our mobile channel campaigns are tagged to a category. Based on the user's engagement, what they do on the site and what they do throughout the campaign, we start featuring content based on their behavior. Not just what they told us about but what they're actually doing. You ever noticed when you buy a car, you see other people driving that car everywhere. Once we got into this, we started to see this behavior everywhere. We start to realize that this idea as proud as we were about it wasn't that new. We see the Strapmedia and retail. If you use the music service Pandora, the channels are set up by you telling the site all you like and then it recommends content for you and from there on, you thumb up and you thumb down songs and skip songs and the music keeps coming to you base on how you're engaging. If any of you use Netflix streaming a couple of years ago and Netflix used to be very organized based on the genre and actors and so forth but now, the primary items and suggestion for you based on what you've been watching and what you've been reading. This isn't creepy anymore this is actually how we expect the web, how we expect the good user experience to work. Let me show you some of the other segments. A user who comes to the site just with the experience a person would see for someone who is male or female age 60, they are in our retiree segment. As the person who's been going on throughout site, they've been predominantly clicking on retirement related content, they've been saving retirement related content to their favorites they've been sharing retirement related content to other people and now both the web and email content we send them is going to be weighted towards new retirement leisure and finance content. Here's another segment, in this segment, we've got users who are female ages 30 to 60. Their site activity is primarily been clicking on family and social content and again the web and email feature content is weighted towards new family and social content. We hypothesized that would work. Let Andy tell you how that works.
Andy: Sure. Since we integrated Drupal with the website and we launched the new customer experience last year, we've seen tremendous improvements in customer engagement on the website, which had previously been identified as a major opportunity for improvement for the program. Across the board, we're seeing games and website engagement from our member based. Starting with the 36 percent increase in the daily number of visitors to the site, we're also seeing almost a 50 percent increase in the number of visitors. Not only we're getting more people to the site but they're also engaging more deeply once they're there and that evidence by the 72 percent increase page use and a 74 percent increase in visit relations. Overall, we're up to a tremendous start and our client is very satisfied and going forward, we now have a much stronger foundation to support further testing and optimization and we fully expect performance to keep growing into the perceivable future and kind of stepping back overall, I think this project has been just a remarkable example of what happens when you combine some very innovative marketing ideas with the best in breed technology and adding a group of very dedicated marketing professionals, the results have been just tremendous. We're all very excited to take to take and get another lead forward as we look forward to next year and beyond. We're all very happy and we're all very excited.
Jason: John that's our presentation. We turn it back to you for some Q & A about the project.
John: Absolutely. Thanks very much guys. It's great to see the detail on the implementations. For anyone that wants to add a question you can add it to the Q &A pad now. We got a few coming in. Let me see here. You talked about the ability through the Drupal module at least the question is around the engagement module that you guys helped contribute back. How do you configure your segments and how do you figure out what article to feature for particular users?
Jason: Yes. I think Andy and I both have been answered that. I'll tell you on the technical side, I saw one of the other Q&A questions about what module to use. We definitely we're inspired by the modules we saw like the recommender API and someone mentioned the context API. We did end up building a custom module we called the engagement module and now we've re-released the web engagement module. We need a little a bit more control over segment because I think most of the modules that we saw we're focused on again sort of a generic experience as opposed to a segmented experience so that's probably the biggest enhancement that we did with this. With regards to how we can figure out segments and the decisions we make, I gave you the basic answer and maybe Andy can fill it in. We start simple. We do this with more of our clients now. We explained to start simple, analyze, refine, and then like the analytics strap how you expand that. Andy, do you want to add to that?
Andy: I think you're exactly right. I think we've adapted a test and learn strategy to content for the website and as we introduced new content, we identified new content that we think is right for our member based, refer that content out in front of technical wide sample of our member based and see what pieces of content are most appealing to the various segment. As we do that testing and we collect results and analyze them that just helps us to further identify and understand what type of content are really going to be most appealing and engaging for each of our key customer segments.
John: Great. Another one on having to strategy for content personalization change, how has it changed over time?
Jason: Andy, why don't you take that?
Andy: I'm sorry the question was how our strategy has for content personalization change over time is that right?
John: That's right.
Andy: As Jason mentioned, we started very simple. We went out and we identify some segments based on analysis of our existing member based. As our member based continues to grow, and we start to bring in people from different demographic segments, we revisit what those segments are. We understand that profile of our member base is evolving over time so as those distinct segments changed amongst our member base, we can go back in and redefine what the segments are and realign our content according with.
John: Great and a follow up, you extend content personalization beyond the websites at all?
Jason: Yes, we definitely do. I think we brought up a couple of times to the presentation. The innovation goes across all the mobile channel marketing so we focused very heavily in this demo or in this case study today on what we do on the site because we're excited about that, but we made at point in the old site and the new site to extend the segment information across all our channel.
John: Great. A question about the personalization segmentation. What we talked about is seemed applicable to log in or authenticated users. Are you doing anything from anonymous visitors?
Jason: We're not doing a lot yet but we can. There's no reason why we can't do this for anonymous users. The way this particular site is structured is definitely a drive towards and an incentive to login and register which helped a lot and I think more and more stay users are not only okay with that, they expect that, they expect you want to personalize experience, you have to log in but we definitely can do it with ... we can do something like this for the anonymous users as well.
Andy: Right. To just add on the Jason's comment, we acquire registrants from a variety of sources and marketing tactics. Over the years, we've accumulated some very rich insights on what the profiles of members looked like from those various sources. One of the things that we're trying to do in the future is based on which source brought in or basically where that registrant came from, we would tailor the experience to profile that we know about the acquisition source. For example, if we know somebody came in to our Facebook pay per click campaign, we would take a look at all the folks that come through that channel in the past, what their profile looks like and then customize the experience to align to their unique needs and interest.
John: Great. You've mentioned a couple of different sort of best to breed technologies that are integrated for the full solution but there's a question specifically around if you're using campaign management or marketing automation system like Eloqua or Mercado as part of the solution?
Jason: We're not. We're not using Eloqua or Mercado but there's no reason you couldn't extend it to use it. Like John said, we've always looked at the strength that Drupal is being an open platform. Think of the example not relate to Eloqua or Mercado, but we were using one email platform and we run in to some restrictions with regards to what we want to do with email and we're able to do switch to a different email provider without having to scrap our platforms. I think it's the same way with Eloqua and Mercado. We're driving our campaign based of the solution that MarketBridge built. The solution Andy talked about earlier with the data warehouse handles all of the segmentation and everything that we might get out of an Eloqua or Mercado and it's tailored exactly towards MarketBridge's approach to campaigns. We're not using Eloqua or Mercado but you could definitely go that route.
John: Back to engagement, Drupal engagement modules specifically two part question. What's next for the engagement modules and are you seeking other contributors or sponsorship for further development on those.
Jason: Yes, thanks. Definitely, we're looking for additional contributors and really thought about seeking sponsors for it. I mean it's a core part of how...this campaign has been so successful for us and really open up our eyes to how great websites should work that's it's core to everything we do with Digital Bungalow and ore to everything MarketBridge does. It really goes into every project we do and we've been making internal investments in it. We know Acquia is making investments in other parts of the open WEM landscape. For us, we're also a team of great Drupal developers here and growing a team of great Drupal developers so we're sold on the community. It's important for us to contribute back what we've learned and we learned so much from the community. Yes, definitely, we're looking for other contributors. Again, it's kind of the pieces and the framework just like all of other Drupal modules are. The Drupal WEM module is kind of pieces of what we're doing here. The overall campaign, the testing, the refinement and so forth, the real work always takes people to do it.
John: Great. I think we just have one question left to cut off the presentation. What you see as the keys to driving continued increases and site performance in 2013 and beyond?
Andy: Sure. I'll take a stab at this one and Jason you'll free to fill in. I mentioned earlier ... we've always been very committed to a test and learn strategy in our approach to content placement and strategy and now we have an even better platform to experiment and optimize the customer experience. We found ourselves in a cycle that leads to continuous learning and continuous improvements in that experience. Basically, the way it works is the more engaged the users are, the more data we're able to capture about their needs and interest and the more data we capture that in turn allows us to further customize their experience on the website and make it more dynamic, more relevant. We feel that as long as we keep coming out with innovative and fresh new content and ways to engage the user, we're going to continue to see this grow up and success going forward.
Jason: Yes, I don't have much to add. I was going to say test and refine, test and refine.
John: Okay. There's one other question. Did you have behaviors built into the module based on roles or other methods of handling a multistep sales or lead gen pipeline?
Jason: Yes. I guess my slides really show you more about the difference between behavioral segment or people's affinity for different types of content. Our primary focus in the campaign lately has been about engagement so we're generally trying to drive just make it more engaging and try more affinities to the site. However, we did use the same methodology or same thought of the other way with segment users is how engaged they are. Once we get somebody that is in a particular segment ... we also take a look at how long they've been on the site. This is somebody who's been here like three or four times. We still going to be showing them certain types of content but this is somebody who's been here a lot. We might start featuring other content. With regards to like ... I think the question asked earlier about where we might go with the modules we've been building, I think we've been abstracting it more and more so that we can build segmentation either base on content or base on action from the site or just based on how long the person has been the member, how long since they've visited because it's really behavior marketing, behavior based marking and we're seeing all sorts of platforms pop up for users to do this. I think there's a reason why those platforms are popping up. This approach has to be taken to make sites more engaging and to move people along towards the particular action.
Andy: Yes and I just highlight on the Acquia sides on acquia.com. We've actually built our own integration service between the Drupal based.com website and Mercado so that we can track lead campaign qualifiers, identifiers from the website back into Mercado for our own regenerations funnel. I think what's really interesting is when you can start taking these different solutions and different steps and start merging sort of what we're doing with acquia.com with what the demand is doing in customer segments and the solutions will be phased out and can grow overtime. We're definitely doing that today from our lead tunnel and sales tunnel perspective.
John: Great. Few minutes early, I give folks some time back but I just want to thank Andy and Jason again for taking time out of their day to join us and I want to thank everybody on the call for joining us today before the holiday. Attendees from here in the US will have a Happy Thanksgiving break and thanks again for joining us and we'll see you on next webinar very soon.
Jason: Thanks.
Andy: Thanks a lot everyone.

"I love this gift tag. I use it on my baked goods that I give out but would be very cute for child OR adult birthday gift tag."
"This choice was perfect for me and my baby shower party favors. My order was deliveedr a day earlier than the suggested time, and the stickers were the perfect size and easy to remove from the backing and apply to the gift. I will definitely order other products! Thanks."

Re: Dr. Seuss's Horton Hears a Who! (2008)
Thank you for your great review! I was less than eager to see Horton Hears a Who (having been forced to sit through the abomination that was the live-action Grinch movie a few years back), but Julie at Happy Catholic linked to your review and I was intrigued. I just came back from seeing the movie with a friend. I am still laughing! My hope in the future of children's movies has been restored (well, actually, Pixar did that, but still…).
What a relief to be able to see an animated film that was funny without being sneering or sardonic! And Whoville was just a delight, especially at the end with all the Whos shouting! Anyway, thanks for the great review, I hope more people read it and see the film!
Thanks for writing. I'm glad to hear you found my review helpful. It's always nice to hear from people who saw the same film you did!
It was The Grinch that started me writing reviews in verse. I felt that film deserved to be skewered, if not in Dr. Seuss's actual voice, at least in a reasonable facsimile thereof. Having gone on to write two additional critiques in verse for The Cat in the Hat and Scooby-Doo, it was a pleasure, as well as a challenge, to tackle a positive review in that style.

CatMet Management Group Minutes
December 3, 2008
Attendees: Peter Bushnell, Jane Anne Carey, Jimmie Lundgren, Hikaru Nakano, Nancy Poehlmann, Betsy Simpson, Doug Smith, Priscilla Williams
Jimmie will be on Sabbatical next fall. Her topic will be "defining and understanding the different constituencies within our patron group".
Brittle Books
There is a procedure for putting links on records. Some things we scan ourselves, some things we find out on google books and OCA (Open Content Alliance) will scan some books for us. Brittle books task force wants to make sure that cataloging is ok with adding the URL and adding a 583 note. Nancy will send the procedure to CatMet managers.
Doug's unit has received the first 10 hard copies of replacements for the Brittle Books.
Nancy's application for CLIR grant to do Baldwin books was denied. She could submit it again next year.
There are records describing UFDC collections in Aleph DLU01, which appear in Mango. A process map has been developed to help DLC upload records to Endeca. They look to see if there is an Aleph# and/or OCLC# in their tracking system. Based on the presence or absence of the numbers, they follow a certain path. Betsy, Jimmie, Mark, and Laurie met to discuss the process.
Shared storage facility documents cataloging
300,000 items that are federal documents have to be cataloged before being transferred to the shared storage facility after it is built. Funds have been allocated to hire OPS to catalog the collection. Jimmie, Doug, and Betsy met with Documents staff at ALF to survey the collection. Betsy will be receiving ten boxes of material for a government document cataloging pilot. They and Jackie Brown will catalog and discuss what needs to be included in our assessment and do a report of how many people will need to be hired and how much time it will take to do this.
The reclass project for circulated storage items will begin again soon. Jason ran a report of AFA Dewey items and matched this to the list of AFA's scanned items. 113 AFA library items were not on the shelf and will be marked as being lost. Iona inquired about next steps in the plan to reclass Education Dewey material. Betsy reminded her that the first step is to complete the weeding.
Cataloging workflow
Betsy asked if there were any continuing problems with the distribution workflow. Doug said HumCat's shelves are currently full. Doug said that there are only 12 shelves left of coastal archives books and this should be done in a few months.
Cataloging productivity report
Judy requested a report re. cataloging productivity, including staff assignments and department priorities. CMG brainstormed ideas for what to include in the report.
Health Science Center Library
Discussions are underway to merge the HSCL and Smathers budgets. It is unclear at this time what other aspects of the HSCL operation might be merged with Smathers.
The Judaica candidate turned down the position.
SUL Janus reports
The SUL Collections Planning Committee appointed six groups to look at the future of statewide collection development. The Janus Challenges Task Forces issued final reports that will be reviewed by CSUL (see http://csul.net/cmc/janus/janus.shtml). Some of the challenges have spill-over to cataloging. The Janus challenges were first discussed at a 2005 national conference of collection development officers.
Baldwin grant
The Baldwin grant has been extended six months. Susan will be working 10 hours a week through December 30th. Emilia will retire in January and Jane Anne and Fern will work on the grant until the end of June.
Career Development Committee
Rich Bennett has been appointed chair and has scheduled the first meeting. Jimmie will serve on the committee.
Sabbatical/FEO Committee
Priscilla reported that there are no applications for FEO at this time.
Doug will schedule a training session on holdings in January, which Hank will lead.

You know those products that take you from able-to-leave-the-house to really-polished? This is one of those products for me. A little bit goes a long way in reducing the shine that inevitably happens on the tip of my nose and forehead over the course of a long day. I honestly haven't noticed much color correction, but I don't use it for that purpose/on any area of my face that would require color correction.
Got it from SpaceNK for a sale price of $4, so nothing to complain about there.
Like others said, the puff is showing some wear and tear. I'll manage - it's not like I'm applying the product in front of people.
This is probably one of the best powders I've tried. A little bit goes a long way so you have to be careful not to apply too much and end up with a cakey look. When I apply it, it seems to kind of blend in with my skin for a very natural look.
I have this in Golden Sienna, which is a pretty good match for my skintone. This is a fairly average powder in terms of performance, but what ruins it for me is the BHA, aluminum starch octenylsuccinate and methylparabens in the ingredient list.
More reviews by TheWorldsDresser
I recently got this from Sephora and I'm cursing myself for not having tried it earlier. I don't wear liquid foundation, but usually rely on a powder foundation (Prescriptives Anywhere $32) or a good pressed powder for light days. This seems pretty close to Clinique's Stay Matte line, but provides a bit more coverage. For a natural look I use a regular powder brush - for something more intense I'd use a kabuki or the (lame) puff that comes with it. This gives EXTREMELY matte coverage so if you're already dry to begin with, I'd avoid this - it'll make your skin look dry and tight. For oily folks like me it's a godsend. Vincent Longo is in some department stores and also available now on beauty.com for $26 (maybe 28??), but no longer available on Sephora.
I saw this girl with a flawless face and i asked her what she used she told me she used the vincent longo pressed powder and i had to get it so i went on makeupalley to see if anyone is willing to give it up sure enough someone agreed to swap this with me..
soo far so good!
but i will update it this again after about a week.
Worst pressed powder I have ever tried. It goes on way too cakey and for an expensive pressed powder I expect to get more than a cheap powder puff, if you can even call it that.
I was really excited to get this product based on the reviews. Unfortunately, I returned it to Sephora within two weeks I'm nearly 38, but still get shiny, and currently don't have anything except Clean and Clear sheets to battle that. I figured it was time to expand my arsenal. Anyway, I have fair-medium yellow-toned skin, and thought that this would work well with my skin, but it didn't. I tried it with the puff, and a variety of brushes, but just couldn't make it work. Maybe because I DON'T have redness I want to cover, this yellow powder didn't correct anything, but rather made me look slightly jaundiced. And the finish was just TOO matte for me. I never got that "glow" that other people have mentioned. I actually tried the Too Faced pressed powder in Absolutely Invisible (before I got this one); I had equally unhappy results with that, and returned it too. Anyway, I have the Cargo blu_ray set on its way to me, and hopefully that will soak up oil without making me look like I have a mask on! (I'll post a review on that after I try it!)
I love the powder in Golden Banana! I've been using this for years. It looks very yellow but comes out a lighter yellow. I'm Asian with pale skin and light yellow undertones,and it's a perfect match. Other powders look too white, beige, orange, or peachy. It's a skinny compact, so you don't get a lot of product, but the color is great and the powder is very finely milled. The coverage is light, so it's good for a natural look, but not if you're looking to hide more serious flaws.

Architect Gio Ponti founded FontanaArte in 1932 as an artistic division of the Luigi Fontana Company. Historically, the company has been a leader in advanced glass manufacturing and design. The company's works were first distinguished by its realization of artistic stained-glass windows, many of which are today still functional elements and ornamental features of churches and cathedrals, among them the Duomo of Milan and the Cathedral of Brasilia. By using glass, Ponti realized what an enormous potential this material could offer in the in the making of furnishing complements for interiors, and he started to design and produce furniture, lamps and objects with glass as the main distinguishing feature. Soon a new collection was ready to be marketed, and his new design concept was being used as a complement to the interior decoration of many houses that he personally designed. Over the years, FontanaArte has had many contributors to its designs, including Pietro Chiesa, Gae Aulenti, Pierluigi Cerri, Piero Castiglioni, Vico Magistretti, Vittorio Gregotti, Ettore Sottsass, Umberto Riva, Alvaro Siza and Renzo Piano.

The 2012 Academy Awards nominees were announced today, and while many of the movies and actors who made the list were as-expected, there were several expected names left off the list. Overall, it seemed like a subpar year for films, and it's hard to get overly excited about the Oscars this year, but certainly some of the following faces should have been included in the nomination list. After the jump, our picks for overlooked nominees. Don't forget to tell us yours in the comments.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Lindsey!
Facts about Lindsey
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Lindsey's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Lindsey and some of her friends came to Good Mews from a shelter in Alabama. That shelter was shut down and some of their former volunteers contacted us and asked if we would be willing to take in some of their cats. They had 80 cats to place and were struggling to find placement or homes for all of them. We feel it is important that all rescues need to work together so we were more than happy to help them. We went to pick up the kitties and they did very well on their long trip back to Good Mews. Now we have promised all of them that we will find them a wonderful new home to call their own.
Lindsey is a darling girl that is a bit on the shy side. But who can blame her? She has been bounced around a lot in the past few months and she is ready to settle down in one place and relax! I think once she gets into a nice home with someone to shower her with affection, she will come out of her shell. Once we learn more about Lindsey, we will give updates!
Update: Well, Lindsey is starting to come out of her shell! She is now starting to feel safe with us and enjoys all the attention she gets! This sweetheart loves for us to pet her and she will roll over for belly rubs! I think Lindsey will make a wonderful addition to most families. She is a total love-bug!
Other Pets at Good Mews Animal Foundation
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lindsey, a Marietta Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Marietta, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Marietta.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Marietta already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Marietta breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Marietta paves the way for another one to be saved.
