Detroit � Tomas Tatar was here and then he was gone.
And while he was there, he couldn�t help but wonder. Not just what he was missing. But what the Red Wings were missing, too, with the feisty goal scorer exiled to Grand Rapids a month before the Stanley Cup Playoffs began last spring.
�It was a pretty rough ending to the season,� Tatar said, reflecting on last year�s disappointment on the eve of his NHL postseason debut in Boston. �In my mind, I thought I could be here. So it was really hard to focus and stay with it, being in Grand Rapids. I got a little frustrated, I won�t lie.�
Truth is, Tatar took out his frustrations on the rest of the American Hockey League, carrying the Griffins to a Calder Cup championship and earning playoff MVP honors as he led the league with 16 goals in 24 games. He used the demotion as �a spark,� he says, and almost immediately started lighting it up.
�That�s where he really took his game to another level,� said Red Wings general manager Ken Holland, who had no choice this season but to elevate Tatar, who was out of minor-league options, to a full-time role in Detroit.
No excuse, either, though from the start of his time in this organization, the Red Wings always had viewed Tatar as another potential draft-day steal: A first-round talent they�d snagged late in the second round in 2009.
He impressed right away in Grand Rapids as the youngest player in the AHL, having bypassed the OHL, where he would�ve played for the Plymouth Whalers on a line with Tyler Seguin, the top prospect in the 2010 draft.
Tatar was one of the Griffins� top two scorers the next two seasons, played well for his native Slovakia at a pair of World Championships, and in a brief stint in Detroit he actually scored his first NHL goal in his first game � on his first shot, no less.
But when he began the lockout-shortened 2013 season still mired in the minors, he started to get a bit impatient.
�I was thinking, �What would happen if I�m on a different team? What would happen if I�d already played a year in the NHL?� � he said. �I was, for sure, thinking that.�
But now?
�At this moment,� Tatar says, �if you ask me, �Would I change anything?� No, I probably wouldn�t.�
Worth the wait
That�s because he�s finally getting his shot, and making something of it, playing on a line with fellow youngsters Riley Sheahen and either Gustav Nyquist or Tomas Jurco.
It�s a line that�ll need to be a difference-maker if the Red Wings are going to make a serious upset bid against the Presidents� Trophy winners. The Bruins boast the deepest forward corps in the league, a Vezina Trophy candidate in net, and a blue line anchored by monster defenseman Zdeno Chara.
And rookies, as we all know, often struggle out of the gate in the playoffs.
�But these kids have played in the Calder Cup � it�s playoff hockey,� coach Mike Babcock insisted. �I�m not concerned about them one bit. They know you have to battle for every inch of the ice.�
Every minute of ice time, too, which helps prepare them for this. Or at least that�s the Red Wings� age-old strategy, however outdated it might seem today.
Tatar got a taste of the NHL last season, acquitting himself well enough with four goals in 18 games before getting sent down, effectively exchanging roster spots with Nyquist. A bit too careless, both with the puck and his defensive responsibilities � that was the issue.
Last fall, with a logjam of veterans in front of him, Tatar still had to get past that. He began the season as a healthy scratch in eight of the Wings� first nine games.
�You have to be able to earn the coach�s trust, and at the start of the year I had to wait for my chance,� said Tatar, who finally scored his first goal Oct. 30 � a winner at Vancouver that ended a four-game skid for Detroit. �My chance came, and I held it. You have to build that trust and that�s what I�ve been doing.�
Ready to shine
What he does is what every team needs this time of year. Tatar plays with passion, and he scores goals, finishing second on the team with 19 this season. The 5-foot-11, 185-pound winger has good instincts and better hands, and he�s eager to play in traffic. Too eager, at times.
�The stage doesn�t affect him,� said Holland, who often compares Tatar to ex-Wings forward Jiri Hudler. �He loves to play hockey. He wants the puck. He wants to be the guy. And he wants to score.�
The stage is set for him to do just that now. He laughed Wednesday when a reporter jokingly asked him about making a run at back-to-back playoff MVP honors. But he got serious when he talked about the opportunity that awaits.
�Obviously, it�s the playoffs � this is what you battle for,� Tatar said. �But so far it hasn�t hit me. I�m not nervous. I�m just going to take it like another game. I�m really looking forward to it. I can�t wait.�
This time, thankfully, he won�t have to.

Designing Superior Shopping Experiences
Imagine shopping in a store where the displays never change. Customers select items by browsing through monolithic aisles of products. Store displays are minimal and uninteresting. Items in the displays are hard to find or even unavailable. This doesn't seem like a great shopping experience, does it? Yet this is what online shoppers experience (and accept as standard) on many large e-commerce sites.
At Allurent, our multi-disciplinary team of designers, information architects, user interface and visual designers are passionate about transforming online shopping from a utilitarian activity into an engaging, dynamic experience. We are convinced that online shopping can be infinitely more exciting and rewarding than the banal, page-and-scroll environment many of us settle for today. Improving the shopping experience can lead to the kind of metrics retailers dream about: increased consumer loyalty, better brand differentiation, higher conversion rates, greater customer satisfaction, and higher profits.
Online shopping should be a fluid, visually exciting and immersive experience. By designing great shopping experiences free from the constraints of HTML, we can fully exploit the rich audio, video, animation and user interface capabilities of modern personal computing.
Agility to respond
Traditionally, retailers need to plan to build new features, redesign, and merchandise their sites far in advance. The time-to-market cycle can be surprisingly slow. Today's merchandising tools are surprisingly primitive. At Allurent, we've been working on a set of solutions that enable companies to update and improve their sites quickly and easily.
For Borders, we recently built a feature called The Magic Shelf, which was an interesting challenge. Borders came to us with an interactive bookshelf that had already been built in Flash by an outside agency. Essentially, Borders populates the shelf with books and CDs, and customers can scroll horizontally and vertically across it. But Borders wasn't able to easily maintain the shelf or easily update the merchandise—and it was not commerce-enabled.
We rebuilt and redesigned the shelf and connected it to the Borders product catalog. Using our Visual Merchandiser, Borders is now able to change the bookshelves and merchandise on-the-fly with WYSWIG drag-and-drop simplicity. After Sydney Pollack passed away, Borders was able to populate a retrospective shelf of his work by the next morning. The time to go live was cut to only a few hours.
Catering gracefully to lifestyles
It's essential for retailers to come up with innovative approaches and multiple access points that cater to shifting lifestyles. Similar to having multiple brick-and-mortar locations, the online store needn't have just one location. Soon, there might not just be one Borders site. Rather, there may be a mobile site, an iPhone site, and a downloadable AIR application connected to all of the above. You will likely be able shop through your home entertainment system, via satellite applications, and on blogs through microsites.
Certain vertical markets are experimenting with new shopping experiences more deeply than others. The fashion industry, for example, with its increasing seasonal demands, is apt to innovate more aggressively than most. Fashion by nature lends itself to exciting imagery that can be put together in new ways relevant to different forms of media.
The "Swiss Army knife" approach
Retailers increasingly want to integrate diverse interactivity into their sites—ratings and reviews, links to Facebook and del.icio.us, tagging, videos, blogs and more. Yet retailers also want to their sites to be simpler and easier for customers to use.
The challenge on the part of designers is to take all of these features and make it feel like all feel like a rich, cohesive experience rather than a "Frankenstein" site. I like to use the analogy of a Swiss Army knife, where the customer has all the tools they need at their fingertips and can unfold them as needed. When they're not being used, everything folds neatly back into place and out of the main focus area.
Make shopping serendipitous
Serendipity: the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy and beneficial way.
Online shopping needs more serendipity to feel like an immersive and rich shopping experience. Customers need to brush up against items they weren't necessarily looking for. The practice is common in catalogues (think Crate & Barrel room views) and in brick-and-mortar stores (think wall displays and mannequins). Shoppers get to see a wide range of products, rather than tunnel down to one product category.
The online approach, however, has typically been organized into strict categories. If someone is looking for a top, they drill through the navigation to find pink tops. Navigationally, it's difficult to add or remove filters dynamically to browse in fluid ways. In the process, shoppers bypass everything else — except for the occasional cross-sell. Most of the site goes unnoticed.
We recently built an interesting serendipitous solution for Anthropologie. Using Adobe AIR, customers can download a portion of the Anthropologie catalog to their desktop. The catalog was based loosely on a theme. The initial version has a beach theme. Sandals, swimsuits, sunglasses and other "beachy" products were scattered along a horizontal strip. The layout had a handmade quality and felt unique and special rather than generic and automated.
Our Display tool allowed merchandisers to easily drop products from the catalog onto the strip, rather than having to open Flash and manually create links or embed imagery in the application. Customers were able scroll through the strip, add notes to items of interest and purchase. Each product felt specially chosen and the experience felt more like shopping at a boutique rather than shopping at the local home center for clothing.
The most unique feature was "shop by color," where customers selected favorite hues from a color palette, and saw products that matched displayed in a color wheel. The randomness in the product selection and the immediate dynamic quality made it fun to use as well as different from other shopping experiences. Instead of shopping for a specific product, customers were browsing in a way that was similar to walking into an Anthropologie store.
Retail role models
So what are some of the shopping experiences I like? In recent years, Nike has been doing an outstanding job extending its brand. Its mini sites are all amazing and unique, yet clearly remain under the same branded umbrella. They're innovative, usable, push the boundaries and are still very shoppable.
Etsy.com is a marketplace where people can sell handmade goods. Etsy offers a number of different ways to view merchandise on the site: chronologically, by color, by story, or by category. Etsy lets consumers discover the products in a way that works for them.
Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters know their demographic inside and out. They continuously innovate by adding Flash-based themed microsites, blogs and even extending their brands to YouTube.
Home furnishing giant Ikea has been doing a great job offering interactive video online to walk potential buyers through fully merchandised rooms—just like you'd shop in any of their physical retail locations. Each room is very different and even employ actors with different personalities that help customers better relate.
Uniqlo is a Japanese retailer that's moving into the U.S. and doing some really interesting things with navigation. Using their Uniqlo Explorer on their US site, customers see a full page product image. The image then transforms into a bitmap image. The bitmap is composed of a matrix of tiny product shots. Clicking on small product shot will display that product full-screen and then transform that image into a matrix of other products.
The Volkswagon.co.uk site does a great job of integrating video and offering a fluid car configurator application. There's a lot of functionality and features, yet it feels simple and fun to use. Finally, Ralph Lauren's Rugby.com site does a great job of extending the brand using video, interesting displays, and styling tips, resulting in a cohesive, rich experience.
Walking the fine line between innovative and useful
As users become more sophisticated and retailers compete more fiercely for online market share, design teams are challenged to find the balance between innovation and usability. We do a lot of user testing throughout our design and development processes, and strive to make it easy for a buyer to make a decision by decreasing steps, no matter how traditional or innovative the design is. We're always looking for ways to streamline the approach by eliminating pages and unnecessary information that customers have to wade through to get to that the ultimate destination: a purchase.
Of course, our clients have specific business goals that drive the project. In some cases, they're looking for a better checkout experience. Other times, they want to improve the overall experience, gain traction over the competition, or rebuild their site from the ground up. If we meet the client's goals, the success metrics will follow. For example, Anthropologie realized a 24% increase in conversion rate with its new checkout system over the previous HTML cart, and Urban Outfitters experienced similar results.
Of course, we follow an internal process that involves a discovery phase, wireframing, and prototyping, user testing, and then implementation. When we go live, we watch the analytics information carefully. The ultimate user test is when thousands of people go through your site and we see where they're really going and where they may be dropping off. At that point, we streamline things further.
Journeying with new tools
With Adobe's new tools, particularly Flash Catalyst, the advancements in Flex, and the introduction of Adobe AIR, it's a really exciting time for design teams. More developers are jumping on the Flex bandwagon. Increasingly streamlined workflows between designers and developers are going to result in complex applications that feel more cinematic and operate pagelessly.
Allurent is the first company I've worked where it hasn't felt like designers are throwing things over the wall to the developers. There's a huge amount of back-and-forth between the development and design teams. We have some high-level developers who have worked on really complex backend e-commerce systems, as well as front-facing applications. During iterations, these developers can really help inform our design work. I'm constantly working with developers and tweaking transitions between different types of information, working on the fluidity of applications and how they feel.
It's an interesting, exciting time. Like so many other designers who started out in print, leapt onto the Web, and are now immersed in rich interactivity, I feel lucky. The shopping niche is a corner of commerce where designers can step back and see their efforts realized through real-world success.

I don't think it's about the designs and it's more about the products, as long as the customer is satisfied with the products and services on a website it shouldn't have serious reasons to switch to a different website.
Even shopping has evolved from the traditional forms to more challenging forms that are supposed to enhance customer loyalty. Frankly I don't think it's about the designs and it's more about the products, as long as the customer is satisfied with the products and services on a website it shouldn't have serious reasons to switch to a different website. Incentives in the form of an easysaver may also help, an this is one example from hundred of creative examples.
We need to cop to a mistake with this article. We acquired this article along with a lot of other content from the UI Resource Center. When we selected this article for top-posting, we didn't notice that it was over a year old. Since we published it as new instead of just posting it to our archive, it gives the impression that the ideas and techniques described are the most current ones being employed by Allurent. This from George Plesko, the article's author:
"That article is at least 15 months old and pretty out of date regarding technologies and what Allurent is involved in at the moment with our customers."
So we offer our apologies, both to our readers and to George and Allurent, for the confusion we created.
Thought the article may be out of date, the discussion of the suitability of Flash Platform technologies for applications like this is still very interesting and very relevant. Thank you to everyone who has engaged passionately in this discussion!
Jonathan Anderson | Managing Editor
This is akin to painting Da Vinci's 'Last Supper' on the head of a pin. Although much blood, sweat and tears were shed to create these experiences, I'm afraid the final product is less impressive. I've been through all the examples cited here and fail to see the advantages Flash brought to the UX. Said another way, I fail to see why other technologies weren't leveraged to create equally rich properties. To Brady's point, this seems less about what users (and clients) want/need/expect versus what Allurent wanted them to have. Instead of asking, "Should we?" Allurent asked, "Could we?"
For example, when I enter Anthropologie, I'm greeted with Flash-based content (immediately following the "Just a Moment" load script. I'm already turned-off) which has some tasteful, albeit slow-to-respond (Brady mentioned CPU drain, right?) interactive bits — all of which could have been handled with sprightlier JS. But, if I were to search for any of those individual items in Google, I'm linked to pure HTML content. Likewise, perusing the site via my iPhone reveals an HTML experience. And one that isn't a "banal, page-and-scroll environment" at that.
This raises some questions:
1. Why offer both Flash- AND HTML-driven content? It's a rhetorical question in my mind (and the answer does not speak favorably of Flash), but feel free to answer.
2. Was any consideration given to open source solutions before the final delivery platform was elected? What did those discussions sound like? What were the criteria by which you made your selection?
3. "Anthropologie realized a 24% increase in conversion rate with its new checkout system over the previous HTML cart." This statement baffles me as it implies (in the context of the overall piece) that the technology toolset was responsible for this success metric – namely, Flash. But the checkout routine doesn't have an ounce of Flash in it. Perhaps I've missed your point, but I'd be willing to bet there were many factors that yielded this increase, the least of which may have been your solution.
I'm not trying to belittle your talents or the incredible efforts that went into these pieces. They are beautifully designed and I'd be remiss if I didn't say I'm envious of your client roster. Heck, I can even overlook the self-aggrandizing tone of this article (we all need to promote ourselves), but tooting the horn (and touting the promises) of Flash and aligned technologies rings as hollow as it did years ago when I worked with products like Scene7. In fact, it's sounding more and more like a swan song.
My issues with flash aren't immature designers, as you noted in the original comments, it's in the all-inclusive-replacement of the internet. Dive into Mark is on the right track, maybe the wrong wording, with:
You can create engaging environments (yep, I've dabbled in all their variations for many clients http://bradyjfrey.com, and event tested shopping environments for large businesses such as http://bentlyreserve.com, http://kamalaspa.com and a few others in my portfolio), but at the expense of usability, accessibility, and a refined user experience. You're attempting to redesign the experience of the web in a design dictated by proprietary business perspective, and in your own interest of interactive media, not your clients. Look at all the extensive complaints on Adobe's on very checkout system, built on Flash and limited to basic, proper tabbing and bookmarking because it's stuck in a flash app.
Your magic bookshelf, in itself, seems like something chosen to be a flash application simply because you know flash... when it could be interactive on every device using open standards, without the CPU drain (not just on mac). While I don't advocate Javascript as an end all, which can easily break just as many experiences, it's not locked into a dead system without basic copy and paste or bookmarking functionality!
In that example, I look at Flash as a copout: a sacrifice made by lack of experience in more engaging and available technologies. It's sacrificing a percentage of marketable audience, and a rich interactive environment, and causing your client financial loss because of it. Pitching a 24% (without showing numbers) increase in a story, in the face of studies that show significant flash issues, doesn't necessarily boast for flash... in fact, I'd say that was a fantastic compliment to your design skills, not flash itself! How much of an added demographic would you have added by offering the same experience, and allowing real copy/paste, bookmarking, and other standard browser features?
Seriously, I feel like I'm repeating year old mantra's here - I have a team of designers, front end developers, back end coders, and IT folk I manage every day as an Art & IT Director. I don't hire people who make those bad decisions because I know they're killing long term value with dated technology... and why? Because of lack of knowledge of richer tools? Because of lack of experience in understanding usability? Because their design skills are limited to drag and drop functionality, floored by actionscript and then stapled onto open standards?
All pianos sound wonderful in front of a skilled artists, but some out of the box are built to sound flat. Flash is built to rebuild the web in the image of what Adobe thinks we want, not what I want, and not what my clients want or their clients want. Compliment it with real standards, sure, but using it as a complete solution is not the future of the web... especially with html5, and those of us already using it for clients.
I manage a team of 6 UI designers at a company making e-commerce tools. We've been doing a lot more work in Flex, and I have to echo your enthusiasm. It's opened up a lot of possibilities for us, and allowed the UI designers to some really great work. It's great for visual designers to be able to make really good looking scalable vector images. The developers also like it because of the nice clean dev environment and the object oriented nature of ActionScript.
Like a few commenters I used to be pretty skeptical of Flash, but the platform has really improved over the years.
Does having one interface for the shopping experience and a totally different interface for the checkout hurt the overall experience?
Anyway, the web is lucky enough that companies like Google, Amazon, eBay, Craigslist, Facebook, Twitter and countless others have taken another direction.
@Thomas: Do you think the problem with Flash is inherent to the technology itself, or just to injudicious use of it by immature designers and, as you put it, sizzle-loving executives? My inclinnation is to relate to Flash in the same way as JS: it's a tool that can be used for good or for evil. A hammer can be used to build a house, or to crush skulls... if some people use it to crush skulls, it doesn't mean the hammer is per se evil.
But you're right that a lot of people have gone overboard with its use. I think one of the weaknesses with the Flash Platform derives from one of its strengths: it has very few built-in constraints, and nearly anything is possible. But just because something can be done doesn't mean it should be done. To geek out a bit, I'll borrow a quote from Spiderman: "with great power comes great responsibility."
I think that responsibility rests with members of the UX, IxD, software engineering, and Web design communities. I think part of the problem up to this point has come from the fact that many companies farm out their Web (including e-commerce) projects to their ad agencies, who approach the problem from a branding and "sizzle" perspective, rather than from the user's perspective, or that of technical feasibility, etc. But the trend is that these projects are increasingly going to, or at least filtering through, vendors and business units focused on UX, CX, and real software engineering, with the ad agencies standing on the sidelines trying to influence the outcome.
Great article. I like the Swiss Army knife analogy. That goes for Web design in general, I think.
"With Adobe's new tools, particularly Flash Catalyst, the advancements in Flex, and the introduction of Adobe AIR, it's a really exciting time for design teams."
...you're kidding, right? We are talking about web design, development, and the user experience, and you cite Flash as the future of development? That's not only embarrassing, it's a short sided example of repeating failures in web design. Not to mention a misguided way of teaching new designers!
I got my start in print, and I worked my way up to Art Director and the Web - but even I know that the future isn't flash, and it isn't controlling the page like print. Teach the future, not the comfortable same old.
@Brady Frey: I'm surprised by your response... The Adobe Flash Platform has come a long way from the old ways that people abused it to make irritating Web-fluff. Flash is about a lot more than just high-concept design now...Flash and ActionScript have evolved into full-fledged software development technologies.
Remember that the Flash Platform is inclusive of Flex, AIR, and other technologies that support the development of rich Internet applications. We're seeing fewer and fewer annoying, animated microsites and "skip intro" things, and more stellar examples of innovative UX and interaction design that are only possible using a rich-client technologies like Flash, Microsoft's Silverlight, or Sun's JavaFX. Flash Catalyst is indeed an exciting development since it further blurs the line between designers and developers, allowing for a more seamless and efficient working relationship between the two perspectives.
If I'm misunderstanding your objection, could you expand on your original comment? Thanks!

Gwendolyn "Dough" X doesn't think she has much going for her--she carries a few extra pounds, her family struggles with their small bakery in a town full of millionaires, and the other kids at her New Jersey high school don't seem to know that she exists. Thank the stars for her longtime boyfriend, Philip P. Wishman--or "Wish." He moved away to California three years ago, when they were 13, but then professed his love for her via email, and he's been her long-distance BF ever since.
At the beginning of her junior year, though, Wish emails that he's moving back to Jersey. Great, right? Well, except that Dough has gained about 70 pounds since the last time Wish saw her, while Wish--according to his Facebook photos--has morphed into a blonde god. Convinced that she'll be headed for Dumpsville the minute Wish lays eyes on her, Dough delays their meeting as long as she possibly can.
But when she sees Wish at school, something amazing happens. He looks at Dough like she's just as gorgeous as he is. But Wish is acting a little weird, obsessed with the sun and freaked out by rain. And the creepy new guy working at the bakery, Christian, is convinced that there's more to Wish's good looks than just healthy eating and lots of sun. He tells Dough that a mark on Wish's neck marks him as a member of the Luminati--an ancient cult of astrologers who can manipulate the stars to improve their lives. Is Wish and Dough's love meant to be--or are they star-crossed?

My grandfather, Orlando Bianco, was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed, quiet Italian. Yes, those do exist. But like the stereotypical Italian who prefers a good glass of red wine with his pasta and gestures way too much with his hands, he had a fiery temper. He'd lounge in his rocker on the front porch of his home on Seventh Avenue in Seaside Park, New Jersey, and I remember him getting upset more than once when I'd leave for the evening wearing pants that were much too tight for his liking.
Sometimes it's hard to believe our grandparents were ever our age. I explored this generation gap in my novel, Sleepless. Eron is a Sandman who died in 1910. He is very much like my grandfather. In fact, Eron's history is taken from a story my mother told me about my grandfather's past, one I never knew while I was traipsing about town in those too-tight pants. My grandfather had come over to this country from Italy with his mother when he was only a few years old. Neither of them spoke English. A marriage had been arranged in Newark, New Jersey. My grandfather was brought into a family with several stepsiblings, none of whom was happy about the arrangement. They ignored him on good days, treated him horribly on bad ones.
I was told that he left school in sixth grade. That he worked for a jeweler. That he met my grandmother and married very young. That he eventually started his own successful oil company and bought that seaside home. That he was also quite the adventurer before he resigned himself into that rocking chair on the front porch. I knew him as the guy who saved everything, even large jars of pop-up turkey timers in the garage, in case he could find another use for them. Who thought most TV was trash and would only watch Lawrence Welk and Golden Girls reruns, at wall-shaking volume. But he had this whole other life before I came around, one that I never knew about until he was gone. I think maybe if I had learned more about him, I would have understood that he was a product of his time. That actually, when you looked at it through his eyes, through his experiences, all of his weird behavior made sense.
If there's one memory I have of my grandfather, it was one night when the whole family was together, playing a card game called Michigan Rummy for pennies. The old wisdom was that if you want luck, you needed to walk around your chair, clockwise, three times. After the cards were dealt, my grandfather looked his over, sighed, then silently threw his cards down and started walking around his chair. He was such a practical person so that was my first indication of how even the people closest to us can surprise us. No, my grandfather didn't have a very happy youth, and his life was one in which the things that mattered most were seemingly insignificant, like pop-up turkey timers and the clothing choice of his granddaughters. But maybe, I realize now, they're not so insignificant. And maybe, wherever he is now, he's finally reaping the good fortune of that walk around the chair.

These beads are all metal, starting out with a brass base, and then the various highly durable finishes are added. They are very uniform in size and are a much more rounded bead compared to the Japanese glass beads which are generally more cylinder shaped.
Due to their shape they can be especially handy for projects that require the beads to snug up against each other, for a close fit.
Remember, they are all metal, and the edges can be more severe than glass beads. We recommend using Fireline or similar stringing material. Beading threads, such as C-Lon or Nymo are not a good choice of stringing material to use when constructing projects made mostly out of these beads.
We have chosen to package these beads in 3" tubes, holding appx. 15 grams.

von Willebrand disease (vWD) is a genetic blood disorder. It decreases the amount or the effectiveness of von Willebrand factor. This factor is a sticky protein. It helps to create a plug at the site of an injury to stop bleeding. Low levels or ineffective von Willebrand factor can cause bleeding problems.
There are three major types of vWD:
- Type 1—most mild and most common form
- Type 2
- Type 3—most serious form and very rare
vWD is caused by a genetic defect. The specific defect varies by the type of vWD, for example:
- Type 1—results in low levels of von Willebrand factor
- Type 2—results in von Willebrand factor that does not work well
- Type 3—results in no von Willebrand factor
This genetic defect is most often inherited from the parent. A child can develop type 1 or type 2 vWD if just one parent has the defect. For type 3, both parents must have the defective gene. Some people may have the gene for vWD without having symptoms. They can still pass this gene to their offspring.
vWD can also develop from other medical conditions or medications. This is called acquired von Willebrand syndrome.
Many people with the vWD gene have mild symptoms or none at all. It may only be noticed after an injury or medical procedure.
Symptoms usually begin in childhood and waver throughout life. The severity will vary from person to person. Common symptoms include:
- Easy bruising
- Frequent or prolonged nosebleeds
- Prolonged bleeding from the gums and minor cuts
- Heavy or prolonged bleeding during menstrual periods
- Bloody urine
- Prolonged bleeding after injury, childbirth, surgery, or invasive dental procedures
Type 3 vWD can also result in severe bleeding events with no apparent cause. This type can also cause bleeding into the joints. This can cause pain and swelling in joints.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. You will be specifically asked about any bleeding events. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor may suspect vWD based on your bleeding history.
Blood tests will help to confirm the diagnosis and determine which type of vWD you have. These tests will look at different factors related to blood clotting. They will also measure the amount of von Willebrand factor in your blood.
Many people with vWD do not need treatment. If you do, your treatment will depend on the type and severity of your vWD. For most, treatment is only necessary if you are having a surgical or dental procedure.
Treatment may include:
- Desmopressin nasal spray or injection—raises the level of vWF in the blood. May be used to control bleeding in mild cases of type 1.
- IV infusions of von Willebrand factors—to control your bleeding.
- Birth control pills—to control heavy menstrual periods in women with type 1 vWD.
- Antifibrinolytic medicine—for bleeding in the nose or mouth. Keeps a clot from being dissolved before the bleeding has stopped.
- Recombinant Factor VIIIa—if antibodies to von Willebrand Factor are developed.
Special steps will also be taken during childbirth in women with vWD. Your doctor will monitor von Willebrand factor throughout pregnancy and treat as needed.

An ugly epidemic taken a Niagara Falls neighborhood by storm -- officials say a rat problem in the neighborhood around Buffalo and Stephenson avenues in the city has residents taking steps to keep the rodents at bay.
Dan Stapleton of the county's Health Department said a team of people was walking the neighborhood yesterday, trying to give local residents as much information as possible on how to eliminate the problem.
Many have blamed the Covanta plant, one that converts trash to energy, but Stapleton said he's seen no proof the plant has been the cause.
In fact, he said there's another logical option.
"Sewer work that was done on Buffalo Avenue may have disturbed the rodents that were using that for their habitat. When that work was being done on the sewers, they went and found somewhere else to live," Stapleton said. "With Covanta, nothing's changed in the decades that they've been there. So we're looking at things that have changed. And what's changed is that sewer work."
Stapleton added that the county's health department will continue to monitor the situation.

I propose a revival of the Anglo-Portuguese alliance. (afterall...)
Portugal and Britain could agree to leaving the EU together, and initiate conversations with the US, Brazil, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and English and Portuguese language African Nations, to create a true global free trade association, which would span the entire globe and would serve as the main driver of the entire world economy (wasn't it so in the 18th century? Kinda sorta)
We can find a fancy name for it. I just can't think of one just at the moment.
It seems very unlikely that portugal would have a wish for leaving the EU after all the sacrifices they have made via structural reforms and internal devaluations in order to stay within the EU.
It seems logical to assume, that USA will focus on obtaining a free trade deal with EU due to the size of the European market
(Hint: It is bigger than the US market)
Basically, britain have to understand, that Britain has less value for USA as an ally if Britain is no longer a member of the EU
The structural reforms were needed regardless of the EU.
Most countries need them.
The World needs heroes.
And we could be them.
For ever and ever
PS: the good Marques said , after the lisboa's earthquake of 1755, when asked what to do, 'We bury the dead and look after the living'.
Harsh situations demand harsh measures.
Now that all the dead are buried. We have to be able to look past 'the orient, of the orient, of the orient' as Fernando Pessoa put it.
Get it?
I do.
But I'm weird somewhat. Call it false modesty, but I think it's not.

Ethique Nouveau & ARC office hours are:
On Saturday, September 8, ARC volunteers gave away hundreds of samples of vegan brats and veggie burgers, everyone's game-favorite fare, at the University of Minnesota Gopher football team's first home game of the season. For the second year running, theTofurky Beer Brats with all the fixin's (ketchup, mustard, relish, and sauerkraut) were delicious and the samples of Gardein burgers flew off the trays as fast as we could grill them. The best part is that the folks we reached were unlikely to have tried vegan food without the encouragement we provided; and they weren't sorry–we heard many comments about how great everything tasted.
We'll be back to grill and give away more samples on Saturday, October 13. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped on the 8th, and if you'd like to help out on October 13th by volunteering to grill, pass out food samples, or help answer peoples' questions about a plant-based diet, contact Dallas. We'd love to have your help!

Rachel Milan starts out her day at work on her knees next to the bed for a few quick Polaroids so we can confirm she is old enough to be on camera making things disappear. This sexy 18er shows her love for cocksucking as soon as we let her start, and her eyes tell us that she has plenty of experience letting men use her mouth! When she climbs on top in reverse cowgirl position you can see how wet and silky her snatch becomes. She glides even more than she rides as her hips slide forward and her pussy slips up and down along the length of your shaft. After a quick suck to taste her own juices she gets back in the saddle facing forward this time and a long firm twist of her nipple lets Rachel know that you are the one in control!! Some girls shy away when you start slamming them from behind but this one just moans louder and louder!! It was important to Rachel to be the next mouth-target for one of our 1000 Facials and with her man\'s thumb in her mouth she is proud to leak jizz out over her well fucked face!Rachel looks young but she already has the skills of a fulltime slut,- Relentless

Obama: Libya's 'Dark Shadow Of Tyranny Has Been Lifted'
By Mark Memmott
Oct 20, 2011
A year ago, President Obama just said, "the notion of a free Libya" seemed far-fetched.
But today, with the death of ousted dictator Moammar Gadhafi, the "dark shadow of tyranny has been lifted" in that North African nation, the president added.
During remarks from the Rose Garden of the White House, the president hailed the U.S. and coalition forces that protected Libyans, hailed the civilians there who "broke the back of the regime" and called on Libyans to build on this "momentus day" in their history.
"Libya will travel a long and winding road to full democracy," the president said, and "there will be difficult days ahead."
But, said Obama, a brutal dictator who denied his people their basic rights is now gone.

Mount Saint Mary College's Education programs are fully accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and by the following professional agencies: Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), International Reading Association (IRA), National Council of Social Studies (NCSS), National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), and National Science Teachers Association (NSTA).
In conjunction with General Education courses and an academic major in a liberal arts and sciences content area, the Division of Education offers courses that will permit prospective students to complete academic requirements for initial New York State certification in the areas listed below:
The programs in Adolescence Education prepare teacher candidates to teach Biology, Chemistry, Math, English, and Social Studies to students in grades 7-12. Our programs are structured to provide teacher candidates with the principles for engaging teaching and learning in the content areas.
We believe that excellent adolescence teachers have a strong background of research-based principles for teacher effectiveness, as well as a thorough understanding of how students learn in grades 7-12. Teaching candidates successfully attain these knowledge bases through a carefully planned sequence of courses taught by veteran teacher-researchers, and with individual or course-embedded fieldwork.
Students seeking certification in English, Mathematics, Biology, or Chemistry must complete the major as listed in the Undergraduate Catalog. Students seeking certification in Social Studies must complete a 30‑credit history major, with additional Social Sciences requirements, to be prepared to teach the different types of classes a Social Studies teacher may be assigned to (see Undergraduate Catalog).
Candidates for a Middle School Extension will take additional coursework preparing them to teach their content area in grades 5 and 6. This can make such candidates good prospects for a principal who must staff a school with grades 5 - 8 or 6 - 9. Individuals interested in this option must complete complete all the requirements for the initial Adolescence Education (grades 7-12) program, including the semester of student teaching before the practicum experience.
As of 2011, New York State allows that teacher candidates seeking Adolescence certification in Teaching Students with Disabilities, along with Adolescence certification in a subject area, to be certified as Adolescence Generalists for Teaching Students with Disabilities in grades 7-12.
To be eligible for this certification, all candidates must have completed six hours of study in college level courses in each of four areas: English, Social Science, Mathematics, and Science, in addition to completing all required pedagogical courses. Mount Saint Mary College students will likely complete most of these distributive requirements as part of the required CORE or General Education requirements for the bachelor's degree. However, even if one has met the Mount Saint Mary College General Education requirements, these required courses must be met to be eligible to receive certification from New York State.
To be admitted to the program, candidates must pass the Education Proficiency Tests with a minimum score of 85% on each test. All candidates must pass ED 2051 Orientation to Teaching. Candidates must maintain an overall 2.75 GPA to student teach, and receive a C+ or better in all certification courses. Certification courses may be repeated only once.
While completing the teacher education program in Childhood or Adolescence Education, students must complete 100 hours of course-related, supervised fieldwork before student teaching. Students pursuing Dual Certification must complete 150 hours, while students pursuing a Middle School Extension must complete 100 hours before student teaching, plus a 3-credit practicum after student teaching.
Students must complete a semester of full-time student teaching as arranged and supervised by Mount Saint Mary College, within 25 miles of the College. Each student has two placements during the semester (7-9 and 10-12 for Adolescence programs). Students pursuing Dual Certification will complete one placement in Teaching Students with Disabilities.
All certification courses must be completed before student teaching unless otherwise indicated or approved by an adviser. Students pursuing Adolescence certification are also required to complete at least 30 credits in the content area before student teaching.
Students are required to take and pass the New York State Liberal Arts and Science Test (LAST) prior to student teaching. The testing dates and sites are posted on the New York State Education Department website.
Candidates are recommended for certification to NYS after they have completed program requirements and teacher certification examinations required by New York.
The Student Teaching Handbook outlines policies and procedures that are required in order for students to successfully complete the student teaching experience. The College will not accept transfer credits from other institutions to fulfill the student teaching requirement. Student teaching must be completed within three years of graduation from Mount Saint Mary College.
Mount Saint Mary College teacher candidates have student taught in more than 50 school districts within a 25 mile distance from the College. Some candidates have student taught in the New York City Public Schools.
Teaching in the content areas in a variety of public and private school Adolescence settings.
The Division of Education at Mount Saint Mary College is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), www.ncate.org. This accreditation covers initial teacher preparation programs and/or advanced educator preparation programs at the College in Newburgh, New York. However, the accreditation does not include individual education courses that the institution offers to P-12 educators for professional development, relicensure, or other purposes.
As part of the maintenance of NCATE accreditation, the college is required to display data revealing the success of our programs. The following link displays a connection to the most recent results of Mount Saint Mary College teacher candidate "completers" (graduates of our programs recommended for certification) on New York State Teacher Certification Exams.

The Service
I add time estimates to every task. When looking at my Today overview or "Weekly Calendar" it would *really* help to be able to see the time estimates both for each individual task and the total time estimates for the day. Even better, projecting the time costs of recurring tasks would be fantastic.Is there a way to make RTM do this, or a 3rd-party app/extension that does it?
Posted at 9:27pm on January 2, 2013
Hi zelbinian,We don't show it in the Overview or Weekly Planner, but you can see your time estimate in each list as described in a Tips & Tricks Tuesday post on our blog.Hope that helps somewhat!
Posted 2 years ago
That works for now, thank you.
