MARTINSBURG - After considering the results from a student survey, the Berkeley County Board of Education voted Monday night and agreed Spring Mills High School will adopt the Cardinal as a mascot.
According to Berkeley County Schools Superintendent Manny Arvon, Spring Mills Middle School adopted its mascot, the Patriots, and school colors - red, white, blue and silver - in 2004. The intent was for the forthcoming Spring Mills High School to take the same mascot. However, Arvon said, another local school -Washington High School in Jefferson County - adopted the Patriot before SMHS was founded.
In an attempt to attain individuality, a committee comprised of students, faculty and administrators representing the selection process of the new mascot narrowed the scope to four new choices - the Cardinals, chosen for singularity as there is not another high school in the state represented by the mascot; the Colonials, selected for historical ties to the region, development of the nation and architectural design of the SMHS building; the Generals, tying to the historical events of the region and actual historic location of the school; and the Pioneers, relating to the settlement period of history as pioneers moved into the region to settle the land.
"The new Spring Mills High School reflects the rich history of our community. The design of our high school bridges our historical past with the 21st-century technological classrooms that will welcome our students. It is built in a classical colonial style on a site of historical significance. It is important that the growth of our new nation, a battleground in the Civil War, and troops were quartered in this area. Many artifacts have been found in this region," Arvon read from the memo submitted by the committee. "Because of our history and our ties, it is imperative that our mascot be reflective of our state and our region."
The district surveyed more than 700 of the 900 students who will attend SMHS next fall, Arvon said.
The results were offered to the board for final decision at Monday night's meeting.
Arvon presented the potential mascots in the order the students voted - Cardinals, Colonials, Generals, Pioneers - and it was not a surprise to him, he said, that the board followed the recommendation of the students by choosing to adopt the cardinal.
"I think any one of the (other) three would have been appropriate for the area and to represent the state," School Board President Dr. William Queen said. "I think the Cardinals is unique, being the only one in the state. There's two Generals in the state, (and) I don't know how many Colonials there are."
In further news, a bid award recommendation in the amount of $14,627,162 for the construction of Gerrardstown Middle School was approved by the board.
Berkeley County Schools Construction Manager Don Zepp spoke on the state of Spring Mills High School, which is currently being built. He said construction of the exterior is approximately 60 percent through and 60 to 65 percent of the interior work is finished with three coats of paint throughout the two-story building recently dried. He hopes to see completion of construction May 15.
Each year, the board approves money for instructional improvement grants that teachers can apply for, Deputy Superintendent for Berkeley County Schools Don Dellinger said. This year, 204 applications were received. A committee of eight teachers met Friday and approved $40,000 worth of instructional improvement grants for 123 projects, which will be awarded at a meeting Nov. 15 and 16.

The president and the American people will all too soon come to recognize that the quagmire in Iraq is far from over. In fact, one might say it has only just begun.
AP / Hadi Mizban
A recent Washington Post story claiming that Saddam Hussein thought about buying nuclear technology from Pakistan has been picked up around the world and is already shaping policy. Unfortunately, it isn't true.
White House / Pete Souza
Fear of a nuclear Iran has generated irrational policies that will only hasten such an outcome. Instead of listening to his own words, the president fell for that old lure, a great power with great bombs that tells others what to do.
U.S. Air Force / Master Sgt. Scott Reed
Key to Barack Obama's surge is his expansion of targeted assassinations taking place under the guise of unmanned aerial drones operating in the Af-Pak region.

Coordinated bombings in Baghdad on Wednesday targeted the Foreign and Finance ministries, killing at least 95 and wounding hundreds more. It may feel like a flashback, but the violence never really left, as Patrick Cockburn, Scott Ritter, William Pfaff and Chris Hedges explain after the jump.
AP / Markus Schreiber
Now that the remains of Navy Lt. Cmdr. Scott Speicher have been recovered from Iraq, Sen. Pat Roberts and other politicians will have to stop shamelessly exploiting his disappearance to sell their war agenda. Update from the author
AP photo / Hadi Mizban
It is wishful thinking to believe that the Iraqi military will be able to hold the ruins of Iraqi society together without major U.S. intervention. The United States has assumed the role of Saddam's Special Republican Guard, waiting to be called in to crush any sign of rebellion or insurrection. It's a lose-lose situation with only one way out.

The protests in Iran have captured the imagination of Western media, but the re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad should come as no surprise. The world needs to move past the controversy of the Iranian elections and, like him or not, find a way to deal with President Ahmadinejad and his nuclear ambitions.
Thanks to the L.A. Press Club for acknowledging the excellent work of our writers with three Southern California Journalism Awards. Congratulations to Chris Hedges, who won Online Journalist of the Year and Best Online Column, and Scott Ritter, who took home an award for Best Online Feature.

North Korea has come under strong international criticism and sanctions for its missile launch, but as a signatory to the 1966 Outer Space Treaty, it is legally permitted to pursue space launch activity. Besides, where is the pandemonium when Japan, Pakistan, Israel, India, Russia and the U.S. refine, test and launch their own ballistic missiles?
Here are the five most-read stories of the last seven days, including Chris Hedges on America's moral meltdown and Robert Scheer on the economic incompetents who find easy employment in the Obama administration. Full list after the jump.

Forget about terrorism for a moment. The potential catastrophe that climate change could unleash on America makes every other national security crisis pale in comparison. President Obama cannot secure the homeland without addressing this global emergency.
AP pool photo / Aleksey Nikolskyi
The president must be getting bad advice. Why else would he offer not to build a missile defense system he doesn't want in exchange for Russia's help with an Iranian nuclear weapons program that doesn't exist?
AP pool photo / Alexei Druzhinin
Relations with Russia haven't been this frosty since there was an East Berlin. President Obama may be distracted by other priorities, but getting reacquainted with Vladimir Putin and his nuclear arsenal should be at the top of the list.
USAF / Michael B. Keller
Iraq is not Vietnam, yet there are parallels between the two wars. The American military dominated the battlefield in both conflicts, and yet America the nation emerged the loser in each. A "decent interval" is now needed for American troops to withdraw.

Now that the presidential election has liberated Barack Obama from the need to play to the fickle whim of domestic politics, he should put away the saber and take a more enlightened approach to Iran.

Ralph Nader is right: The two-party system is failing America. There isn't time between now and Election Day to create a viable third-party candidate, and so the sad reality is one of two deeply flawed men, the byproduct of a deeply flawed political system, will serve as president for the next four or eight years.

Dave continued pacing back and forth in front of Mohammed. "My president," he said, "is in trouble. Can you help him?" Mohammed was taken aback by the question. "Excuse me?" he asked.

As a former U.N. weapons inspector, Scott Ritter knows a thing or two about nuclear threats around the world. So when so-called experts go on television or appear in print to help make the case for war with Iran, it gets his attention.
DoD / R.D. Ward
As a critic of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East, especially when unsubstantiated allegations of weapons of mass destruction are used to sell a war, I am no stranger to the concept of questioning authority. It's too bad more journalists can't say the same thing.

The Chicago City Council is debating a resolution urging the Illinois congressional delegation to oppose a war with Iran. Scott Ritter, who has been called as an expert witness on the matter, explains why the resolution should be supported—and not just by the citizens of Chicago.
DoD / U.S. Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Chad J. McNeeley
Former Marine and U.N. weapons inspector Scott Ritter has spoken out vehemently against the war, so it surprises some that he still embraces military service. In this article, Ritter explains why opposition to a war doesn't mean lack of patriotism or a failure to "support the troops" and the services in which they serve.
As we approach the fifth anniversary of the invasion and occupation of Iraq, I find myself thinking back on how we got ourselves into this predicament. ... As I examine where we are today and contemplate our future and those who are positioning themselves to play a role in Iraq, it seems to me that there is at least one such incident, a dinner party I attended at the home of Ahmed Chalabi in June 1998 that is worthy of a more public illumination.

Imad Mughniyeh was once America's most-wanted terrorist, and his crimes were truly abhorrent. But his assassination, Ritter argues, will only lead to more violence.

The former U.N. weapons inspector examines the president's claims about the "surge" and says what the media and Congress won't: It is not a strategy, it is an escalation, one that will not prevent the coming collapse of Iraq. There are no solutions just waiting to be found, and the only sensible thing to do is leave. Now.

Pervez Musharraf's recent actions remind us, Ritter argues, that America's special relationship with Pakistan serves neither country's best interests.

From Hillary Clinton to Mitt Romney, the candidates have no shortage of solutions for the Iraq mess, but their shallow rhetoric reveals an ignorance of the increasingly fractured and disastrous reality.
Truthdig / Zuade Kaufman
The Truthdig columnist (and WMD expert) warns that war with Iran could be inevitable, despite the National Intelligence Estimate report that says Iran dismantled its nuclear program in 2003. Bush, Ritter argues, doesn't let facts get in the way of what he wants.
AP photo / Lawrence Jackson
The former chief weapons inspector argues that the Bush administration isn't going to let facts get in the way of its eagerly sought war with Iran. If there's any hope of avoiding such a conflict, Ritter writes, Congress will have to rouse from its slumber and act, rather than continuing to wait for the White House to make the first move.
AP photo / Murad Sezer
The former weapons inspector and military intelligence officer argues that Turkey, once dismissed as the "sick man of Europe," will be ignored by the West at its own peril.
AP photo / Charles Dharapak
The former intelligence officer and weapons inspector argues that the president's recent World War III comment offers some rare insight into the highly secretive world of George W. Bush's White House, where the leader of the free world gets advice from reckless neoconservatives, "war criminal" Dick Cheney and "God."
AP Photo / Charles Dharapak
Katie Couric's "entertainment-as-news" excursion to Baghdad, Ritter argues, is symptomatic of an America that consistently refuses to properly identify and address the real problems in Iraq.
AP Photo / Mark Humphrey
Although Karl Rove is stepping down, the real menace in the White House is staying on. Dick Cheney, Ritter argues, more than Kim Jung Il or Osama bin Laden, is the greatest threat to American and international security in the world today.
AP Photo / Ajit Kumar, File
Scott Ritter, a former U.N. weapons inspector and the author of "Waging Peace," mourns the passing of the United Nations agency charged with monitoring Iraq's WMD program. That agency suffered a political assassination recently to save the Bush administration any lingering embarrassment. With the closure of UNMOVIC, Ritter writes, the world has lost perhaps its last best hope for meaningful arms control and inspection.
AP Photo / Adil al-Khazali
The former Marine intelligence officer and author of "Waging Peace" takes on Alan Dershowitz, the American Legion and other advocates of the war who have equated "supporting the troops" with continuing the senseless and often brutal occupation of Iraq.
AP Photo / David Guttenfelder
With his security barrier in Baghdad, a wall along the Mexican border and the provocative missile defense shield plan in Europe, President Bush's interest in barrier-building is a betrayal of his conservative forebears that does not bode well for the spread of freedom and democracy.

The Home Depot's stores in Mexico represent a small but growing footprint on an ever-expanding global map. As new locations open there at a rate of seven to 10 stores a year, demand for more efficient operations — as well as the stakes — increases.
The Home Depot Mexico banner began flying in 2001 with the Atlanta-based retailer's acquisition of a Mexican home improvement chain. While the 100-plus stores operating in Mexico are only a small percentage of the chain's overall global presence, Mexico is emerging as a fertile and important market for The Home Depot and the home improvement industry generally.
Primary competitor Lowe's Companies opened its first store there in 2010, and currently has five stores in operation. Both companies view Mexico as a linchpin in the strategy for long-term growth.
José A. Del Angel, The Home Depot Mexico's merchandising support senior manager at its store support center in Monterrey, characterizes the Mexican home improvement market as being fragmented and less mature than in the United States. Many smaller Mexican competitors focus on specific parts of the market, like lumber and building materials — similar to the United States in the late 1970s and early '80s, when The Home Depot founders Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank effectively remade the home improvement market.
Workforce visibility
The Home Depot Mexico has been expanding at an annual rate of about 10 percent, but that growth has brought some corporate growing pains. Some 100 workers are employed at each store, plus another 30-40 third-party workers per store, according to Del Angel. Stores are formatted as 54,000-, 66,000- and 77,000-sq.-ft. facilities, with more than 20,000 products in each store.
With a much larger operation to account for, it adopted a series of workforce management software tools to align major operations areas like human resources, merchandise auditing and employee and management communications. The company turned to Reflexis Systems, a vendor that provides workforce management/task execution solutions to retailers, and began deploying three Reflexis Systems tools — Time and Attendance, Task Manager and StoreWalk.
Time and Attendance gave the company better visibility into its workforce. Task Manager formalized the communications process to the stores from headquarters and the store support center; StoreWalk enhanced store merchandising and execution by focusing on best practices and standardization among stores.
"By implementing these solutions, we solved a number of challenges and it made operations at our stores more efficient," says Jaime Gonzalez, The Home Depot Mexico's in store services department head for merchandising.
The Time and Attendance solution was particularly beneficial. Gonzalez says it was very important for the company to be able to accurately track the billable hours of third-party employees at stores working as security guards, janitors or in merchandising services. Previously, The Home Depot Mexico had relied on handwritten logbooks for tracking time and attendance, which created errors and inefficiencies. It reports that the Time and Attendance application reduced absenteeism, tardiness and billable hours at its stores.
"We now have excellent visibility as to who is at each store every day and at any certain time," Gonzalez says. "And if the people are not there we know we are not getting billed for hours that were not worked. The result is we're getting better service and better coverage at our stores."
Headquarters/store coordination
Del Angel says Task Manager helped The Home Depot Mexico break dependence on e-mail as the primary form of communication. Store managers were constrained because they had to spend considerable time reading e-mails and independently determining priority tasks, he says.
Task Manager is designed to help retailers gain active control of stores across the corporate enterprise by streamlining operations via a single communication channel that also provides real-time feedback to ensure store-level tasks are accomplished. For uncompleted tasks, managers can quickly hone in on and correct areas of non-compliance.
"In the beginning it was very easy to just send out e-mails for memos to give instructions on the different duties to be performed at the stores," Del Angel says. "As we grew, it became very hard to monitor the execution at the stores."
The corporate office can now provide coordination with store managers for planning and communicating objectives in areas like introducing new merchandise, running promotions or conducting product recalls.
"There was no certainty that things would be executed on time or would reach all of the parties," Del Angel says. "Now we believe we have a much better execution for communications. Through better execution, we know that we are getting better sales and better customer service. It is hard to pinpoint in terms of percentage of sales or additional transactions, but we know that it is there."
The third peg for improving store operations is implementation of the Reflexis Systems' StoreWalk application. StoreWalk, a module that allows managers to perform efficient in-store audits, arms retailers with a checklist of questions in an exception-based system that automatically triggers tasks to fix issues, particularly in merchandising.
Del Angel says StoreWalk positioned The Home Depot Mexico managers to view the operation of their stores in a more proactive manner as a means for directing improvements, and that improvements in store operations across the board are positioning the company for greater future growth.
"We have more customers coming into our stores every day," he says. "We are going to smaller markets, and we are educating people so there is a lot more interest in do-it-yourself projects. They come into the stores not only to buy the products, but also to learn how to install products. It's a changing culture that brings us additional growth."

FSF Campaign Against Secure Boot
The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has started a signature campaign to make people aware of the perils of an upcoming feature in PC hardware namely – Secure boot.
What is secure boot ?
Secure boot is a hardware feature that allows only signed/verified OSes to boot on the machine. In its benign form, secure boot is meant to protect the PC against boot loader attacks, which can compromise a system before the OS even loads.
However, the FSF warns that this feature could be used to curtail the freedom of computer users by restricting them from installing alternate operating systems such as Linux on their machine. In other words, you can say goodbye to dual booting multiple OSes on your machine.

Those who doubt that a black-hearted person can ever be redeemed should look at the story of Chuck Colson and think again. Colson was the infamous hatchet man for
Richard Nixon during the worst of the Watergate scandal, a man with no scruples. He did things like plot to plant leftist literature at the home of the man who shot George Wallace, in hopes of making that look like a crime of liberalism. He gave the OK on the theft of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office in hopes of discrediting the man who leaked the Pentagon Papers. He hired Al Hunt, the former CIA agent who lead the burglary of the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate Hotel. This was a bad man with no scruples, a must for the darkest chambers of Nixon's soul.
And then he went to prison. And everything changed. He devoted most of his life to helping other prisoners find peace through an embrace of Christianity. He lived a life, in other words, that was prescribed specifically by Jesus Christ. And by all accounts he worked restlessly on that project, expanding his ministry into more than 100 countries.
Redemption is possible. Colson's life proves it. And that legacy is indeed an honor.

THE importance of the liver in the regulation of gastric secretion is well documented. A powerful gastric secretogogue is normally released into the portal circulation and inactivated by the liver. When portal venous blood bypasses the liver, this secretogogue is no longer destroyed and gastric hypersecretion results.1-6 Histamine may be the secretogogue responsible for this hypersecretion,5-8 as it is normally inactivated by the liver.5,7
Experimentally produced liver damage may be associated with gastric hypersecretion as well.9-13 It has been suggested that this hypersecretion is due to failure of inactivation of histamine7,13 or another enteric secretogogue, since the degree of hypersecretion has been shown to be related to the severity of the liver damage.10,11,13 Recently, however, Silen et al9 have suggested the possibility that the cirrhotic liver actually releases a gastric secretogogue. Thus, the mechanism of the gastric hypersecretion observed after liver damage remains

week 7
1st team
The 1st team entertained Northwich, which turned out to be a very odd game, which we could have won, despite only waking up with 20 minutes to go. They got an early lead and started well, and we ended well. We got 2 bonus points! Ace ventura made his debut at prop and did a good job! Other mentions go to centres Mair and McNicholas who pushed hard all day. We could really do with 5 points next week at wilmslow. Last time i went to Wilsmlow, i walked in the sponsors bar, and they all stopped and stared at me like i was Gulliver. How welcoming
Skilling was back in 'Fine' form again this week. He fined me for having no tie on, even though i was letting my kids play with it. He is so miserable. I found a picture of him from the 1940s. Skilling, sporting an andy Goode hair style is the only person not smiling. Things dont change eh! Quoting Ronan Keating, i thing Skilling 'Says it best when he says nothing at all'.
2nd team
Good result, poor tactics.
We started like a house on fire and for the first five minutes we were successful with strong forward runners around the fringes. Unfortunately the last pass didn't seem to go to hand and a try went begging. That was pretty much the story for the entire game. Unfortunately we chose to attack at the heart of their defence for most of the game and were successful in terms of possession and territory but we were unsuccessful on the scoreboard. Had we chosen to attack out wide and use the pace of Maklin, Howarth and Kingsley, we probably would have scored a try or two and avoided having to play the last five minutes only six points up. Even though we played the wrong game, the performance of the forwards was immense. All afternoon they were on hand to carry the ball at the very tough De la Salle defence and compete at the collision area to retain the ball. They played hard and kept their cool. Ben Reddings had a cracking game at 8 and his tireless defence and running with ball in hand won him the man of the match honours though he was hard pushed by the rest of the pack. Dixon was on form with the boot and kept the scoreboard ticking over with 3 from 4 penalties. One of their boys got red carded late in the game for a punch on a downed Maklin. Reddings got a 10 minute rest for not being 10 metres at a penalty. Final whistle, well done boys! The 'management team' of Hodge and Coates were pleased with the result, but were unavailable for comment on the performance. Stretch's continued improvement was only partial this week as he had to leave the field before half time due to injury.
Rick has openly admitted his favourite film is ghostbusters, but beware, he wont be going to haloween partys dressed as a ghostbuster! He will be coming as a ghost. He likes sneaking up behind people making them smell his dirt fingers, and 'slimes' them with jelly from a meat pie.
Combined services game
It is proposed that there be a game held at Rochdale between the Combined services XV Vs Rochdale on Friday evening April 18th. We are also hoping to invite a forces team to our annual tournament in August. The game is to raise money for the Help for Heroes fund. If you have any ideas on how to raise money,please see Tony Whitehead.
3rd team
We were at home to Eccles this week. We had a solid team despite having to change the line up minutes before kick off due one second row who shall remain nameless for fear of a ribbing coming down with a touch of deli belly 10mins before kick off. We started well with our forwards dominating the early exchanges and getting plenty of good ball for the backs. Some strong running from Jake smith and ross faulkner in the centres made sure that for the rest of the game neither Eccles 10 or 12 wanted to entertain the idea of tackling, which led ben Lundergan opening the scoring with his 4th try in 2 games. A mention should got to Harry "I'm just a fat winger" hill who for the entire half was making big hits and constantly cross the gain line, however it was jimmy Finn who stole the show running in two tries from the back of the scrums showing what a magnificent physical specimen he is. despite at one point using his head as battering ram on their blind side flanker. But as they say no
sense no feeling, which jimmy was definitely testament of. The 2nd half started in much the same way as the 1st. With the exception of a few changes to both the back line and pack...yes that's right we had subs (plural). One of which was the aforementioned deli belly suffering 2nd row. But as is the 3rd team way, concentration started to slip a little and Eccles began to creep back into the game a little until some good work from Wardy and brains got the team fired up again. Towards the end of the 2nd half we switched for brief moment waiting for a whistle for a forward pass that never came and let Eccles in for a try, however they missed the conversation. Jug avoidance this week goes to brains!! For getting over the line, grounding the ball and allowing himself then to rolled over onto his back for the ref who never managed to keep up with play to award a 5m scrum for it being held up, to which there was no reaction from brains, just a little chuckle at not having to get the beers in.
Jed Bentham
Jed told me he managed to complete his Marathon at the ripe old age of 62, and has nearly raised £1000 for Parkinsons. If you get chance please sponsor him! Lee Riddle has also entered a marathon. Please ask him and he will tell you about it.
Beer pong
Watch out for the Beer pong / Billtong brothers, leo and Ronaldo. They are beer pong hustlers. Leo (Zululand) beat John Gilly in the final. The trophy final was won by Ollie (greece), who beat Iceland (Lee Morton). The best dressed was Jed Woolfy, who came dressed as Turkey. Ronaldo pet detective leathered me in the opening game, claiming to have never played before.
4th team
Yet another defeat for the 4ths 60 v 7 against Stockport. Bare 15 once more of wiffs and strays. Plenty of effort for little gain! Sole destroying. The slippery slope of the abyss beckons. A lonely journey down the tunnel of a colonic irrigation has commenced. Good performances from Jamie Macdougal and tommy Astley the highlight of a depressing day at the coal face. Looking to sign Santa claus and the tooth fairy for next week as something magical needs to happen. MOM ben crossley who worked tirelessly all day!!!

The Client
Illamasqua is one of the fastest growing make-up brands in the country and has transformed from unknown to cult status in just a few years.
Illamasqua is one of the fastest growing make-up brands in the country and has transformed from unknown to cult status in just a few years.
Having launched back in 2008, Illamasqua's website wasn't prepared for the level of success it had achieved so quickly and, as the brand had evolved and the services offered increased, the website's functionality needed to be updated. Now that the brand had established a clear target market and identified their buying habits, the user journey and buying process needed to be maximised to cater for this and encourage higher basket values.
Illamasqua wanted its customer-base to be able to visit a cutting-edge, interactive eCommerce website that would reflect its growing reputation in the industry, as well as increase conversion and enhance brand reputation.
Central to Illamasqua's brand values is its clear distinction in the crowded make-up market. This needed to be reflected at every point in the customer journey to create a seamless brand experience like no other. Equally as important, though, was that the website had improved functionality and encouraged customers to shop online.
In order to make the buying process as simple as possible for the customer, Illamasqua wanted well thought-out product categorisation and layout and functionality that would encourage cross-sell and up-sell.
In order to meet all of the objectives of industry-leading eCommerce with brand-focused content and social integration, we developed a hybrid platform of bespoke CMS, eCommerce and blogging systems.
As always, we began the project with an extensive discovery and planning phase that covered target audience and admin requirements, ensuring the functionality we'd chosen would fit with each and meet the objectives given.
Our design team then crafted user-centric wireframes that defined the optimum customer buying journey, taking care to ensure the layout was as effective as it could be and that the product categorisation enhanced the buying journey. The SEO team was involved at this stage to ensure the structure of the site would provide maximum SEO value.
With sleek, polished and on-brand page designs carefully pieced together by talented strategic and creative agency, Propaganda, we were ready to add the depth and interactivity that would bring them to life.
To engage with the customer base as much as possible, we added a CRM function that integrated with the Communicator API to trigger an automatic email to customers giving them a birthday discount code. This encourages return custom, as well as strengthening the customer-brand relationship.
To achieve cross-sell, we were able to group products into their make-up collections and then suggest to the customer to "purchase this whole collection", increasing basket spend and making the buying experience quicker and easier for the customer.
From our eCommerce experience and in-depth research, we've found that a single-page checkout increases conversion and has a much lower drop-off rate than multiple-stepped checkout processes, so we implemented this for Illamasqua.
The result is robust and adaptable CMS that boasts a fluid user journey from start to finish, ensuring that the customer is given the Illamasqua brand essence on the way. Just a matter of weeks after launch, the average daily traffic to the site increased by over 2,000 visits, from 4,000 to 6,000, the average basket value shot up by £10, from £45 to £55 and the conversion rate increased from 1% to 3%.
But it's not just about the figures, it's about user experience and increasing the interactivity between Illamasqua's customers and the brand. Here are just a few of the customer comments about the new site on Illamasqua's forum:
"Love it! The ease of the layout is particularly great"
"The new look site is quicker to navigate"
"Great site, much easier to see the options for each product".
Together with the creative talent at Propaganda, we've managed to carefully create an eCommerce website that demonstrates the brand's distinctiveness in the market at every stage.

Family members of four teenagers killed in a 2008 crash said they are disappointed that the driver has been released from prison.
Herbert Lee was driving a stolen car in a high-speed chase with police in December 2008 when he killed Aaron Shields and three brothers, Jemar, Demar and Marc Claybrooks, in a crash. Lee was released on supervised probation.
Frank Shields, the father of Aaron Shields, saw Lee on Monday.
"He told me he was about ready to start school again, and I told him his family needed him," Frank Shields said. "I told him we've been praying for him not to get back in trouble."
Less than a year after his first release, Lee went back to prison on another stolen car charge.

Sexually transmitted diseases remain a major public health challenge in the United States. While substantial progress has been made in preventing, diagnosing, and treating certain STDs in recent years, Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that 19 million new infections occur each year, almost half of them among young people ages 15 to 24. Direct medical costs associated with STDs in the United States are estimated at up to $14.1 billion annually.

Since the days of Ortmeyer-D. Moore-Hollweg, the Rangers fourth line has been virtually non-existent. It seemed at times under John Tortorella that he was only playing his bottom three forwards because rolling three lines would have worn his team down more than he already was.
Tortorella used the fourth line as punishment for his own players instead of an effective tool to defeat his opponents.
And who could blame him. Previous fourth lines have included players such as Arron Asham, Jeff Halpern, Darroll Powe, Kris Newbury, Derek Boogaard, Dale Weise, Donald Brashear and Dane Byers.
Fortunately for the Rangers, it looks like the fourth line has come full circle as, led by the same Dominic Moore, they've become one of the team's most consistent lines, while providing a lift when needed as well as timely scoring. And Alain Vigneault has done a masterful job of using their strengths to either shift momentum of a game or make a big defensive stand.
Here's Alain Vigneault on what makes his fourth line so good (via ESPN.com)…
"They are simple and they compete. That fourth line is big, grinding, you know, wear-the-opposition type line, and when they find ways to contribute, like they have the last couple of games offensively, it makes our team that much better, as far as winning hockey games."
D. Moore added this on rolling four lines…
"You have to have that," said Moore, who also won six of seven faceoffs Wednesday. "You can't win without that. You see every game every night –- it's usually one-goal games. [Wednesday] wasn't the case, but everyone has to chip in and everyone has to be firing on all cylinders."
…this line really came together after the Carcillo trade. He had instant chemistry with Boyle and Moore. And AV's confidence in the line has allowed them to grow into their roles, whether it's winning a big face-off, applying a tough forecheck or controlling puck possession. A true sign of this line's character is that they haven't missed a beat since Dorsett returned from injury and looks to have replaced Carcillo on the wing.
…i feel comfortable saying that, along with Lundqvist & McDonagh, the fourth line has had a major impact on the Rangers current five-game winning streak. Which on its own merit is an amazing feat, but what it's also done is help take some pressure off St. Louis while he continues to struggle to get on the score sheet during his adjustment period.
…as the Rangers have learned in past playoff failures under Tortorella, a useful fourth line can be the difference in a series. Not only can they provide the top three lines with some much needed in-game rest, they have the ability to turn a game or even a series with a big hit, timely goal or even a spirited shift against an opponent's top line. I feel very confident that this group, especially if the Rangers find themselves matched up against the Bruins or Flyers, can have that kind of impact in the postseason.

Welcome to Annapurna Indian Restaurants
Annapurna is the Divine Mother, the Goddess who blesses us with food in abundance. She is the source of all nourishment.
In India, food is regarded as a sacred offering to Brahman, the highest consciousness or Supreme Reality - that which is at once the offering, the offered and the receiver of the offering. Annapurna means 'food for the whole being'.
Indian food is a mosaic evolved from many influences and cultures - Turkish, Persian, Afghan cuisines blending with the local and regional specialties. From this rich heritage we have chosen a selection of dishes that are particularly well suited to the Tasmanian palate.
Our spices and herbs have been stone ground in the traditional manner and our specialties cooked according to the ancient principles of the princely houses. Our Indian breads are cooked in the unique Tandoori style, using a clay oven.
Located in the heart of the lifestyle precinct, Annapurna Indian Cuisine has a restaurant on Elizabeth Street in North Hobart, Tasmania.

Every year, we launch a limited edition Chiller clad in the colors of a beer we adore. The first Chiller launched in 2009 and wore the colors of PBR. In 2011 we honored the summertime special, Corona, complete with an embroidered lime on the strap. Then came our homage to Oktoberfest by cloaking the 2012 Chiller in Bavarian blue and white. 2013 came in the likeness of a crisp tri-color Pilsner, and most recently, our 2014 Chiller is an ode to Japanese Sapporo.
2009: PBR Chiller – Not the most premium, but beloved. The PBR Chiller.
2011: Corona Chiller – Made for summer in the city, but saw action on the slopes.
2012: Bavaria – With genuine Swiss and Germans on our team, we heeded the call to Bavaria with the Munchen Chiller. Ya!
2013: Pilsner Chiller – Tri calore for the crisp, refreshing bite of a Pilsner. How do you chill?
2014: Sapporo Chiller – Umami, oishi, delicious. Kampai!
Prefer a pack? Time travel back to April 1 and you will not be disatistfied with our Dehydration Backpack.

By Allen Shaw, Fort Wainwright PAOJune 28, 2013
FORT WAINWRIGHT, Alaska - More than two-thousand Army civilians provide services on Fort Wainwright and one of them has her finger on the pulse of what's going good, and where improvements can be made. The customer base puts Soldiers and Family members first-and-foremost, but also includes the various Fort Wainwright directorates, retirees and the civilian community outside the wire.
Sonja Taylor is the customer evaluation analyst for the United States Army Garrison Fort Wainwright Plans, Analysis and Integration Office. She oversees the interactive customer evaluation system, which provides online feedback on post-wide services and allows participants an opportunity to suggest changes. She said she is passionate about accentuating the positive and eliminating the negative. "I want ICE to be recognized not a complaint department, but a tool to be used to initiate positive change," she said.
Fairbanks has been Taylor's home for 11-years. She previously lived in Delta Junction and worked at Fort Greely, but moved after the Base Closure and Realignment Commission decision in 2001. "I was working at Gottschalks (a former Fairbanks department store) before landing my first real job in Fairbanks," she said. "I was being observed by a customer, who approached me and asked me to apply for a job with their organization. That lead to a job on Fort Wainwright and the rest is history."
"The garrison is incredibly blessed to have Sonja as a part of the team," said Angela Major, PAIO chief. "She is truly passionate about serving Soldiers, Families, civilians and retirees and delivering excellent customer service. Her proudest moments are when she helps resolve customer concerns and finds the happy endings."
Taylor has been married to Greg, assistant manager at Melaven Fitness Center, and "seasoned racquetball enthusiast" for 26 years. He said, "It's been fun and we've enjoyed Alaska to the fullest."
The Taylors love the outdoors. He has a lot of stories to tell about King and Silver salmon fishing with his wife and more. They love to hike, bike, snowboard, golf and enjoy adventuring.
Taylor said, "Sonja is a combination of trusting and fearless." He shared stories about the several times they floated the Gulkana River with Sonja carrying everyone's gear in a raft. "I told her it was a piece of cake; she learned real fast how to maneuver a raft." In another adventure, he said, "We were dropped off by helicopter on mountain peaks the size of a postage-stamp and snowboarded down (the mountain) outside of Valdez."
In addition to being courageous, she must have a little luck on her side. "Once near Summit Lake while snowmachining, she followed me up a ridge. It split away from the edge and she ended up riding an avalanche to the bottom on her machine," he said, "Both rider and machine made it down. Someone was definitely watching over her that day."
In addition to living life to its fullest, Taylor also gives back to her community by being involved in volunteer events for the Survivor Outreach Services program on post and attends the Retiree Council. "Sonja approaches each situation as a challenge and immediately starts to help by providing
Resources," said D'Letter Shumate, Exceptional Family Member program coordinator.
Shenicia Askew, administrative assistant to the garrison commander said, "Sonja is cheerful and helpful. She is always smiling no matter what the situation may be and as the customer evaluation analyst for the garrison she is very committed to the Customer Service Award Program for the garrison in ensuring that Garrison employees are recognized."
"She is a strong resourceful and enthusiastic part of the Fort Wainwright Team, said coworker George Brunner, lead management-program analyst, PAIO. "She recognizes the importance of improving the quality of life for our Soldiers, Families and civilian workforce. She displays confidence and the fortitude required to face the toughest challenges and she brings the workforce and community together as one."
"Her hard work and dedication helps make Fort Wainwright an installation of choice for those who cannot wait to get here and never want to leave," Major said.

Grills Just Wanna Have Fun – Grilled Pizzas!
by IsaChandra
If you don't have a pizza oven, the grill is the next best heat source for the kind of pizza that might get written up in New York magazine as like, the best ever and "I can't believe you never heard of this place!" A crisp exterior with a chewy and airy bite that's just this side of burnt – to me that is pizza perfection. I've learned my way around the grill over the years, after many misfires resulting in folded, ripped and otherwise no-fun pizza crusts, so here's a couple of things I picked up. Any standard pizza crust should do, I use the one from Vegan With A Vengeance.
Lana showcases a rather toast-shaped pizza with grilled zuke, avocado and pesto
First off, forget about circles. In fact, forget about any shape you know. Instead of thinking your crust looks deformed think "rustic" and your grilled pizzas will be a different kind of perfect everytime.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Throw some cornmeal onto a large cutting board, then press and roll the dough into a free-form shape. If you're grilling it's a safe bet that it's warm outside, and so your dough is going to be floppy. It helps to keep the dough refrigerated until ready to use, that way it doesn't flap in the breeze like so much laundry on the line when it comes time to grill it. I keep the dough kind of thick, too. It's just easier to handle that way.
Brush some olive oil onto the top then carefully, but not too carefully, flip the crust onto the grill oiled side down. If you try to flip the dough and it immediately starts folding over or sticking, then stick it back into the fridge, cutting board and all, for just a few minutes.
Cook for about 5 minutes, rotating with a spatula once in awhile for even heating. It should be nice and dark with a few grill marks on the bottom. Flip the crust and add the toppings.
It's important not to go too crazy with the sauce and toppings, you don't want a soggy pizza or a droopy crust – it's not a hammock, it's a pizza. Shut the lid if you're using cheeze, but if it still doesn't melt, pop it in the oven broiler for a few.
The lovely Emiko with a pizza so bright she had to wear shades.
For toppings I love to use whatever is seasonal, right now that's asparagus, zucchini – we even have some early summer peaches!
Peaches, kalamata olives, garlic and herbs from my garden
Grilled asparagus, toasted pine nuts, homemade sausages, fresh tomatoes
Oh, and before I get barraged – the cheeze is a mix of Teese and Cheezly, both available at FoodFightGrocery.com.
Now get out there and you go grill!

Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces that Shape our Decisions
Artists:Ariely, Dan
Publisher:Harper Collins Publisher
In a series of illuminating, often surprising experiments, MIT behavioral economist Dan Ariely refutes the common assumption that we behave in fundamentally rational ways. Blending everyday experience with groundbreaking research, Ariely explains how expectations, emotions, social norms, and other invisible, seemingly illogical forces skew our reasoning abilities. Not only do we make astonishingly simple mistakes every day, but we make the same types of mistakes, Ariely discovers. We consistently overpay, underestimate, and procrastinate. We fail to understand the profound effects of our emotions on what we want, and we overvalue what we already own. Yet these misguided behaviors are neither random nor senseless. They're systematic and predictable

When you get a new TV, it's common to forget the other accessories you'll need to really make your purchase sing. A new 4K TV kit from Monster puts all your new TV must-haves into one box, and makes it easy to start watching 4K TV, and to keep your new purchase safe.
Monster manufactures high quality accessories that are needed for any TV & Home Theatre system. You know, cables and surge protectors that you typically just take for granted or simply buy as an after thought. They are extremely well made, but with that typically comes a higher price. You get what you pay for, but with these relatively mundane accessories is it worth spending the extra dough? You just bought a fancy new HDTV or better yet a shiny stunning 4K UHD model, so do you need high-end cables to make sure you get the best picture?
I had the opportunity to try out a couple of excellent Monster HDMI cables and a Power Surge Protector so I can give you my first-hand perspective on why you may or may not consider them for your system.
Now that we are full on into January, you have been enjoying all those new electronic toys that came with Xmas. In the excitement of using them, have you taken the time to make sure that they are properly protected?
Getting a decent surge protector is a very small investment compared to the cost of all the equipment you are protecting.
A lot has been written about the merits of and need for surge protection for your equipment - just look at TechLinz's post called Power Surge Ready. Here I'll talk about three surge protectors very well worth looking at for that ultimatel peace of mind.
Last week TechLinz and I hit up the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas to cover all the upcoming tech trends and cool devices you can expect to see coming out this year. We had our fair share of celebrity sightings and exciting moments as some of our favorite brands unveiled new innovations and products sure to get the gadget world buzzing. If you missed any of our coverage, here's a recap of our blog posts, video interviews, product reviews, photos and more!
Monster CEO Noel Lee, aka 'Head Monster', took to the stage this morning bursting with enthusiasm before delivering a long list of exciting new product announcements for 2012. Check out this post for a complete download of what to expect from Monster this year.
This is my favourite time of the year! Holiday lights, picturesque snow cover, and gatherings of friends and family. All these wonderful distractions make it easy to forget about what keeps everything running. Electricity powers all of the festive lights we enjoy, powers the heaters that warm us up; and not to mention, keeps us entertained by powering the electronics and Home Theater gear occupying our holiday guests. This season is also a great time to start thinking about energy conservation and protection of all the gadgets that we can't live without. I for one can't imagine not having my TV or video games available for my nephews to give me a breather from all their energy. Here are a couple product categories that will help prevent any catastrophes with your electronics this holiday season and into the future.
Are you protecting your electronics from the unexpected? If not, what happens when the unexpected becomes a reality? I've recently become one of the "converted", transitioning from the time old saying, "It won't happen to me" over to "It's better to be safe than sorry".
If you've checked out my recent Blu-Ray and home theatre post you'll recall that our amplifier recently died. Why? Well, a good question that we still don't have a definite answer to. However, the leading culprit is a power surge. We live in a condo tower and the wiring here isn't renowned for being the greatest. When we had to replace an overhead light at one stage, the electrician laughed out loud when he saw some of the wiring work, which didn't inspire the highest of confidences.
A simple guide to build a great Home Theatre experience for your Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3

NORTH AUGUSTA — On Thursday, Treval Sullivan was the first person in line at SMS Sportsworld to buy a pair of Nike Air Jordans XI "Bred," having arrived at the store at 9 a.m.
Approximately 15 people were waiting in line to purchase the iconic footwear by mid-afternoon the same day, lounging in camping chairs and determined to wait outside the store through what forecasters predicted would be a cold, windy night. The shoes went on sale Friday at 8 a.m.
"It's like, a good shoe," Sullivan said. "We decided to wait in line for them but came early."
Nike's Air Jordans, named for professional basketball player Michael Jordan, were first released in 1985. New designs are released every year.
The Air Jordans XI "Bred" are a re-release of the XI originals, which were designed by Tinker Hatfield in 1995 in anticipation of Jordan's return to the NBA. Jordan indeed returned to the NBA and wore the Air Jordan XI model when the Chicago Bulls won the 1995-96 Championship. He also wore the XI model in the animated movie "Space Jam."
The "Bred" model's colors are red, white, and black, designed originally to match the Chicago Bulls uniforms.
Many waiting in line outside SMS said they're buying the shoes for themselves and will most definitely wear them.
"But, you got some people that are collectors," said Terrence Martin, who was fourth in line.
"We knew we were going to have a line. We got a lot of calls about these shoes. The men's (shoes) will be gone in 15 minutes. I know so," said Billy Minor with SMS Sportsworld.
SMS Sportsworld added $10 to the price of the adult-sized shoes and $5 to the children-sized shoes to help cover the cost of security the store provided to its costumers.
"They're worth it," Sullivan said.
Supplies were limited to one pair per customer. Sizes were limited, too. For instance, there was only one pair in size 8.5 and four pairs in size 10.
"If I don't wait in line, I won't get them," said B.G. Gibbs, who was third in line. "It's just like another Black Friday. The shoes won't last 10 minutes (before someone buys them)."
Media reports have shown a trend of lines of people waiting for the shoes across the area and country. In Richmond County, police were called to the Augusta Mall to help control the crowds, and police in Huntsville, Ala., said customers seeking the shoes became unruly when they lined up at a mall, and pepper spray was used in an attempt to restore order.
Police said that officers sprayed pepper spray in the general direction of the crowd but did not use the chemical on people in line Thursday morning.

I told you guys just relax we had this one bos came in and took us to lightly because all the nhl fanboys picked them to dominate us f*** them I love our guys
I don't think Boston took us lightly. They played really, really good. It was a very even game. I think we just saw that Detroit is, in fact, on the same plane as the Bruins. Very closely matched team.

EVEN AFTER THE jury foreman announced Wednesday that Donte Johnson was guilty of the first-degree murder and rape of Sabina Rose O'Donnell, and even after the young woman's mother and other relatives told the court of the anguish of losing her to his senseless brutality, Johnson slouched forward in his chair and maintained his innocence.
Johnson's shocking statement came after Common Pleas Judge Glenn Bronson had lambasted the defendant as "an extreme danger to the public" and lacking "any normal sense of decency."
"I understand how the family feel about their loss, but how can you clearly say I did anything?" Johnson, 20, responded. "I didn't do nothing. I understand where they coming from, but I didn't have nobody die the way they said. I didn't have no interaction with her."
