The e-mail preheader (the content in the top line of an e-mail message) has come a long way from its origins as an HTML and deliverability troubleshooter — "Add us to your address book"/"View on the Web site"/"Click here to download images."
When you use the preheader to expand on the subject line, add a secondary offer, or emphasize a deadline, you help the reader decide quickly what to do with the message: Should I read it all? Scan the top? Delete it?
This goes along with my "Make It Easy" philosophy of e-mail: the easier you make your e-mail to open, read, and interact with, the more valuable it becomes to your subscribers.
Make the Most of This Valuable Real Estate
More marketers are adding content to their preheaders today, but as with every e-mail innovation, not everyone is getting maximum value from this exposure. This list of what to do and what not to do will help you get the most out of your preheaders:
Don't load up the preheader with line after line of administrative copy.
It makes sense to merge this information into the first couple of messages you send to a new subscriber, but after that, it becomes too easily ignored.
While it's a good idea to include a "View online/View mobile version" link as a secondary preheader, an add-to-address-book request can get passed over once the subscriber either accepts the request or decides not to.
Move administrative copy to your e-mail footer, and reserve the preheader for more powerful messages.
Be succinct.
A utility preheader that reads, "If you are having trouble seeing this e-mail, please read it at our Web site," can be shortened to a snappy "View online" or "View mobile version." (See more on handling preheader content like this in tip No. 6.)
I'm seeing a trend now where the preheader extends over two or three lines. While this does add content, it can also be overkill. Keep your promotional preheader to a single line for maximum impact.
Don't repeat your subject line.
This lazy approach adds no value. It also doesn't help the reader answer the questions that will decide whether she opens your message, reads and acts on it, or just deletes it:
- Who is this message from?
What's in it for me?
What do you want me to do?
Don't make it hard to read, whether accidentally or on purpose.
A good preheader won't distract readers from the rest of your e-mail content. Instead, it amplifies the message and delivers key information when the content doesn't render.
However, your preheader has to be seen to have an impact. Suppose you write a strong promotion with an irresistible call to action. When you format it in a light grey font or a tiny type size, you counteract the preheader's goals.
Use a standard font size (minimum 8-point type size) in a readable color (basic black always works). Boldface the call to action to help draw the eye, and use an underline for the link. It seems basic, but underlines still signal to readers that the content is clickable.
Don't put "forward to a friend" or "share with your network" links in the preheader, unless testing supports this placement.
It doesn't make sense to ask your readers right away to share your content if they haven't seen what the message says or even decided yet what they want to do with it.
You haven't yet made a compelling argument for them to scroll down (or across when viewed on a mobile screen), take in your message, and then decide what to do with it. Your sharing links could become irrelevant and thus wasted space.
Testing will tell you whether your sharing links will get the most visibility and action at the top, the bottom, or inside the copy itself.
Use the left and right content regions for different preheader goals.
Left justify your marketing preheader (the one with the call to action, secondary offer, etc.). This way, it will show up in both horizontal and vertical preview panes or on small mobile screens.
Right justify utility information (add to address book, view online/mobile, and contact phone numbers). It's still visible in the full screen, but not necessarily the most important information.
Include the coupon code.
This makes it easy for the discount to show up in the shopping cart and to help shoppers find it quickly for copying and pasting on the order form, if clicking through from the e-mail doesn't automatically add the code.
Include shopping dates to remind shoppers they have only a few days to act.
Not everyone opens your e-mail and shops on the day it arrives. Emphasize the end date by adding it to the preheader.
When promoting a limited-time offer, your subject line could say, "Three-day Sale" and your preheader could begin, "Ends 11/18/2009." This is also an example of how an effective preheader can amplify or expand the subject line, not just repeat it.
Your sender address, subject line, and preheader work in unison to help answer these questions. Each one has a specific purpose. One or two shouldn't do all the work.
The Last Word
Scrutinize e-mail messages you get now to see how others are handling preheaders, but don't do something in your own e-mail just because it looks good in someone else's.
Test various preheader configurations: design, placement, copy, and links, before committing one to your template.

Two weeks ago I had a very exciting, and surprising three day stretch in the local news media. On Friday, May 29 the spring issue of Elegant Living by Ladue News hit newsstands, with the cover graced by one of my original watercolors. It is the fifth cover I have painted in two years. The subject is a home in the Central West End on Pershing, which was part of a recent home tour of the neighborhood.
Just two days later I received a text message from my sister with this image of the Sunday paper. I was shocked to see my painting for the annual Blooming Artists Project on the front of the local news section of the St. Louis Post Dispatch. The recognition was flattering, but I was even more excited for my "blooming artist" Camryn, a fourth-grade student whose work inspired my painting of my niece, Finley. I can only imagine how thrilled she must have been, along with her family, and it is something she will remember for the rest of her life. Click here to read the full article.

Home All Things P Accelerating transformation: here's why information governance is the new black

A natural tension between freedom and control for public sector information assets can easily create obstacles to transformation and a shift to digital processes. Information governance empowers you to get the balance right. Here's how…
Consider this:
"On the one hand, information wants to be expensive because it's so valuable. The right information in the right place just changes your life.
"On the other hand, information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it out is lower and lower all the time. So you have these two things fighting against each other."
In an era when tech trends seem to come and go like teenage fashion, this paradox was first put forward by seminal technology pioneer, futurist and environmentalist Stewart Brand, at the first "Hackers" conference in 1984 in Marin County, California.
The statement hails from an era when a DIY computing counter culture spawned such giants of innovation as Apple and Microsoft, along with others long since forgotten. 'Information wants to be free' became a catch cry for cypherpunks and hacktivists.
That assertion might sound like the perfect truism for working in modern government today as the drive for digital transformation gathers pace.
But it's really Brand's first observation – the potential for the right information in the right place to change lives – that's even more relevant today than it was then, and here's why:
Since the dawn of the internet age we have become an information society. Our lives at work and at home, in business and social activities, revolve around accessing and exchanging information.
The public sector is still under pressure to be more open, more transparent and to release more data. Agencies are also regularly the subject of public and media criticism stemming from concerns about privacy, cybersecurity and excessive or intrusive collection of data.
Like Brand's paradox, there's an inherent tension between freedom of, and control over, information which can easily create obstacles for public sector transformation and a shift to digital processes.
How then to address both parts of the puzzle and get the balance right?
Information governance provides an authorising and accountability framework for creating, valuing, using and managing information assets. It takes account of business needs, legal and regulatory obligations.
It establishes roles, responsibilities and reporting requirements, along with principles you can build into operational processes and IT systems to enforce controls or streamline decision making.
Information governance is not new but has experienced a sudden spike in popularity. Once the preserve of records managers or compliance officers, information governance is now recognised by all levels of the organisation, from ministers through to frontline staff, as a key to safety and agility.
Not only that, it is acknowledged as a foundation for the entire transformational journey to a digital government. Just last month, this was highlighted in the article Transformational government: the mandate for good governance.
In the digital age, everyone knows how great it feels to have the right information in the right place when we need it most – customers and service providers alike.
Good governance enables agencies to be collaborative, mobile and transparent, while ensuring information accuracy, reliability and security are never compromised.
If you don't see up-front acknowledgement and detail on information governance on your transformation roadmap, it may be time to start asking questions.
Ministers and senior executives now recognise that all business – including government business – today runs on data and digital information. It flows through every process, underpins policy, powers transactions and has the potential to drive whole economies.
Information can, and must, move between different people and organisations, for a variety of uses or actions and to support services and decisions.
Organisations that 'go digital' increase the speed and efficiency of their work processes by letting information flow. They frequently report further benefits including business insights based on real time data and a growing culture of innovation.
But it's important to remember that just 'going digital' without solid underlying governance structures can produce unintended consequences that detract rather than add value.
If the value or integrity information diminishes, it can quickly erode public trust, or expose key stakeholders to serious liabilities – if it is the wrong information, or ends up in the wrong place.
Add mandatory disclosure obligations for data, privacy or information security related incidents and it's not difficult to identify where the pain points can occur.
A recently published executive brief "Lean Government Processes", specifically created for public sector leaders, explores some of the aforementioned challenges and offers insight to the value of embedding good governance into processes like ministerial requests, parliamentary briefs, budget estimates, and freedom of information.
Transformation benefits are real. These metrics come from a NSW government central agency."
Allowing multiple parties within the organisation to view, reuse or contribute to an information asset can increase the value of that asset. This reduces the relative cost of producing the right information and offers broader public benefits when limited resources can be put to optimal use.
Most agencies have developed robust information governance frameworks to manage their complex mix of risks and balance public interests. That's a good thing.
Such frameworks take significant investment of time and expertise and are intended to streamline decision making and appropriately release or protect information with a minimum of bureaucracy.
The challenge for digital process transformation arises because information governance is usually stuck in a box. It's often attached to a single system or silo where the information is stored.
While information is stored in that box, it's managed and controlled. Once out of the box, information may move through ungoverned channels where it is more difficult to track or protect and this legitimately makes people nervous.
Nevertheless, information still needs to flow to be useful.
People respond to this tension in different ways. Common behaviours include:
Neither scenario is optimal.
By linking existing information governance to process automation you can set governance free to follow the information where it needs to go. Information doesn't have to live in one place. It can safely travel between different systems.
We call this process governance.
Process governance means people can continue to work in familiar applications from any location. Staff are empowered to share and release non-sensitive information, safe in the knowledge that protections for privacy and security are built into the process by design.
Automation brings information to the right place, where and when it is needed.
Process governance applies information governance in the background, every step of the way, and controls risks by ensuring it's the right information and access to it is managed according to established rules.
Importantly, process governance also allows transformation to be tackled incrementally – or 'chunked down'.
A steady supply of reliable data and information is the currency of knowledge workers, executive or operational, in government today.
Their success also depends on opportunities to communicate and collaborate with peers and stakeholders, who can review or contribute to their work.
Digital government relies on collaboration and information exchange across teams, between agencies and jurisdictions, with service providers and customers. The synthesis of diverse perspectives supports innovation, decision making and actively manages risk.
It drives better service design, policy development and strategic planning.
Of course, agencies are the trusted custodians of personal and other sensitive information relating to health, law enforcement, environmental, cultural or commercial matters. They have a responsibility and a legal obligation to protect people's rights and ensure accountability.

Shergold also highlights the real risks of 'solutioneering' before properly scoping the problem, and then trying to re-engineer crucial governance requirements.
An urgent and growing need exists for the public sector to partner with industry and non-government organisations to deliver efficient, targeted services and improve public outcomes.
In a report commissioned by the NSW Public Service Commission, Nous Group identified the "size and complexity of public sector structures [and the] fragmentation of knowledge across these structures" as a core driver of cross sector collaboration to allow different experts to work together to solve multi-faceted problems.
Critically, the report identified governance as a key enabler of successful collaboration.
The collaboration challenge arises because information governance usually stretches only as far as the boundaries of the organisation. The use of unsanctioned digital channels or "shadow IT" for collaboration and sharing information with external parties can erode information security and auditability, impacting value and integrity. It exposes agencies to a variety of risks including unauthorised disclosure of information, duplication and version control issues, and (ironically) the creation of information silos.
So here, again, we have this tension between the concepts of freedom and control. On the one hand, productivity and the value of information is potentially increased by collaboration. On the other hand, security, privacy and the quality of the information may be compromised by collaboration.
By linking existing information governance to shared workspaces, agencies can extend their governance policies into the places where knowledge workers gather. Information can be safely shared outside the team and beyond the boundaries of the organisation.
We call this collaboration governance.
Collaboration governance means people can work effectively together and partner in a variety of ways with access to the information resources they need, whilst maintaining the integrity of the information along with the rights and responsibilities of all stakeholders.
The executive brief, "The Collaboration Challenge: Balancing Collaboration with Information Governance" captures this concept and presents real life case studies showcasing complex cross-jurisdictional collaboration challenges in action.
Shared workspaces enable knowledge workers to share ideas and expertise, bringing information to the right people, where and when it is needed.
Collaboration governance applies information governance in the background. It controls risks by ensuring it's the right information and that access to it is managed according to established rules.

Information wants to be free – free to flow to the people that need it most and the places where it is most useful.
Information also has value to those who produce, procure or are parties identified in the content. Its integrity and security are equally as important as its availability.
Digital era government provides the opportunity to:
The right information in the right place does change lives for the better, that's why today information governance is 'the new black'. Digital fads may come and go but good information governance will endure well into government's digital transformation and beyond.

We found the unit very comfortable, excellent location and views of the river. Walkable to Vatican City, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, access to bus tours, wonderful restaurants and shopping. I hope to come again. Thank you for such an enjoyable experience.
The apartment was an oasis in the city. It was right in the heart of the city on the Tiber River. Walking distance to all major tourist sites. It was bright and airy with a fantastic balcony for relaxing after a day of walking. It had a traditional Roman feel but with modern conveniences. The hosts were accommodating to our arrival times. This accommodation met all of our expectations. We would definitely stay there again if in Rome.
great location, we were able to walk almost everywhere. The apartment is very comfortable and clean. We were a family of 4 and there was plenty of space for us. Supermarket and bank machine steps away. Alessandro was an incredible host, answering all our questions, arranging airport pickup, and offering great dinner suggestions. Would not hesitate to stay here again.
Just got home from a lovely trip to Rome and the apartment Tiber View was amazing, perfect location and everything on the doorstep. Yes the view of the Tiber is slightly blocked by the trees but that is mother nature - would definitely return and stay here when I go back :) Thank you for making this a memorable trip for me and my daughters Alessandro - very helpful
Tha apartment is nice. However, the air conditioner is inadequate; it is noisy (from traffic), and the view in the picture may have once existed, but is no more as the trees have grown. It is well located and convenient.
Lovely place nice views we really enjoyed our stay thanks

WordPress images add a significant amount of aesthetics and value to your site. They even can be helpful with search engine optimization. So the last thing you want is someone copying your WordPress images-especially if you've made them entirely yourself. We will go over different ways so that you understand how to protect WordPress images from leechers!
There are many problems site owners face with photos and graphics. From WordPress images not showing after being uploaded, to finding the right size for WordPress header images or trouble aligning WordPress background images, having to worry about protecting them is just one
more headache.
Copied Website Images
The great thing about using the alt tag feature is it allows search engines to "see" images in order to give a site better on-page SEO. The bad thing about alt tags is they're indexed. And that means anyone can simply search, find and download those images.
While there might not be a devastating SEO affect with copying and re-publishing images, there could be intellectual property issues. And that's something that can spell serious trouble. Besides, if it's your own work, it is your intellectual property and you want to protect original WordPress images.
In either case, no matter what side of the coin you end-up on, intellectual property matters when it comes to the law are expensive. Hiring an attorney and filing a federal lawsuit costs a lot of money. And the defendant won't have it an easier, monetarily speaking. Regardless of side, it's a very expensive and drawn-out proposition. So it's best to head it off at the pass and avoid it altogether.
Protecting Your WordPress Images
To keep your images safe and sound, you can employ one or more of several methods. Because WordPress is open-source and so ubiquitous across the Internet, there are of course, plugins that will do the job nicely. Here are some of the best ways to keep your WordPress post images from being copied:
- Embed your images as a Flash file. Okay, so the downside of using Flash is well-known. But it's still a very powerful tool and will disable right-clicking. What's more, embedding a Flash file gives you far more control over customizing your images. You can use CSS to style your images.
- Use a J-Query plugin. The majority of WordPress images are stolen using the right-click mouse feature and choosing "Save As". The way to deal with this is to remove the "Save As" right-click function. And a J-Query image protection plugin can do just that. Most of these are very lightweight and easy to configure. So, they won't slow down your site or require a lot of end-user configuration in order to work.
- Splice your images. This image protection trick thwarts would-be theives by simply displaying a snippet of the original image. If you splice an image, then put them side-by-side against the seams or borders, those trying to right-click will have to spend a significant amount of time trying to find where those splices are joined. This won't make it worth the effort and frustration and they'll simply give-up.
- Use your .htaccess file. Going into the code might scare some people, so this won't be for everyone. But there are several options within this method. However, for those comfortable with manipulating their .htaccess files, it's a great way to protect your images and even deny certain users from visiting your site.
- Add a watermark. There are a number of plugins that will do this. And, it's a great way to get around the free-for-all that resides in Google Images. People might be able to find your images, but copying them won't be worth it.

An Apology to Blaze MistShard (and others who removed me)
I am sorry for all the arguing and complaining I have blabbered out in front of you.
But I need to make a point that I've been thinking for a while.
Ever since you've been banned, you have been acting different. Before being banned, you were an awesome, nice guy. Now, you completely ignore me. What happened to you??
If you don't like how I act, fine! It's who I am, maybe...
If you don't like how I am acting, either get use to it or remove me.
I don't like people who make me feel like a pathetic, selfless, good-for-nothing loser.
*sigh* Maybe I'll change a bit...
*sits in corner all alone*

WitchWarrior101 going into extinction??!! Wha..?
Hello, what remains of my readers.
I've been thinking about negative thought for some time.
I'm not sure if anyone reads my blog anymore.
I mean, back when I started, I had a crud-load of fans.
But it seems recently most of my 55 followers don't seem to care anymore.
Don't get me wrong. I know some of you guys love this blog.
But most people who read this blog either don't give 2 cents about my blog, or they're dead. O_O
I have a bad feeling that I might have to stop blogging eventually. (Not quit Wizard101 though!!)
I don't wanna leave the blogosphere community, but I feel that it might make more people(mostly haters)feel better.
Then again, I might be leaving behind a w101 fanbase legacy.
Mostly, I'll leave behind friends.
Please help me out guys. I'm tired of feeling alone in the blog world.
Thanks for your concern,
Cassandra GriffinDreamer

This world has an ancient history and apparently a new secondary school of magic yet to be revealed. However, trouble brews on Melodia. The king of the dark wizards, Krad, has awoken from his enchanted sleep and has risen his army to take over the kingdom. Not only that, the source of Melodia's hope, Princess Melody, is missing. Without Melody providing the Light, Melodia will fall to the hands of darkness. Could this be the work of Morganthe? Learn to master the Melodians' magic and battle Krad and the dark wizards!

Wizard101 Wishlist
-Guilds: Every other MMO out there has it; why don't you??!!
-Interactive furniture: It started with the kiosk, then the commemorative statue, then gardening. Can we have a little more than that?
-Transmute Stone Block and Ore recipes: Why are these reagents in the transmuting world? Adding these recipes will make crafting easier!
-Mount and Pet dress up: Dressing up pets and mounts in more than what they wear! I'd be uber happy dappy! :D
-Gloves and 2 rings: As seen in FATE, I'd like to see wizards wearing gloves and more than one ring.
-Custom Wand Attacks: We have the usual blasting and sword-HIYA! Why don't we customize how we attack with wands to make it more interesting?
And that's all I got! I'd also like to hear from you readers out there! Leave some wishes in the comments.
So, KI, please answer our prayers!

This coming message from Donna SpellThorn!
We have come to the realization that, with all the new pets, piggles are being forgotten. We can't let this happen. So we're holding an event to restore piggle awareness. We need anyone who can to be there and support it. I thought you might be interested considering it's wacky and out of the ordinary. It would also really help us out if a W101 celebrety, like you, could come.
We're gonna have it on Saturday, November 28th at about 4:00 EST and the port bus will be a girl named Donna Rose in the Pet Shoppe Boys' shop in Satyr Realm Area 1. It's gonna be in my MFP and all the VIPS (piggle lovers, sponsers, ect.) are gonna be up in the wings of that big hall. We're gonna block off the wings to prevent mobs. I've noticed the big W101 names almost always get mobbed. And if you can, wear your a piggle. Oh, another thing, contact any other piggle nuts and let them know the details. Thanks, and let us know.
Happy piggle loving!

Cassandra"s rules to successful W101 Blogging!
I decided to make a list of rules and tips on how you can be a popular blogger!
Here's what I know:
-Share your stories.
A good start is to tell why you love Wizard101 and share you magical adventures with the blogosphere.
-Creatively express your love!
Do what I do! Make art, write fanfictions, show your talent!
-Keep an eye on comments.
Moderate your comments at all times! You never know what crazy spam you might accidentally let slip.
-Opinion dos and don'ts
Everyone has thoughts about each other, but some opinions should be kept quiet. Share good opinions with friends. If you have a opinion against something, say it in a polite and respective manner. Say it offensively and you could be shunned from the Wizard101 community for good.
Well, that's what I got.
Share with me your tips!
Happy blogging!

Free Realms Review
What's intriguing is that its membership prices are lower than Wizard101.
I'm serious! Check it out for yourself!
Fret not, I still love Wizard101 and will return to it once Celestia is released.
Happy Free Realming!

What will come of Cassandra's birthday bash?
Since my birthday is 1 1/2 months away, I'm gonna be planning a birthday bash.
However, I am not sure if I will have one.
1. I have my youth group on the date in the afternoon
2. I can't open my presents until my family is home from a trip.
3. Who knows what my school will give. (cross fingers for no homework or projects)
So my party future hangs in the balance.
Any party ideas, readers?
Happy waiting for my party!

Bring down the house (literally!)
Access to Wizard Housing is temporarily unavailable.
You will receive the message Failed to Load Instance Zone if you attempt to teleport to your Dorm, or Castle. Thank you for your patience, your houses will be open again soon.
There might be a glitch behind it. My friend, Cameron, has been using it to replace my wallpaper(he gives it back though). Other glitch users steal people's stuff and sell them at the bazaar.(at least from what I've heard)
CAMERON HEXBLADE, I KNEW THAT GLITCH WOULD GET YOU IN TROUBLE! Now you might get banned! D:
Happy waiting for this to be fixed!!

Warehouse Woes (rant of the test realm)
Nande(why), Kingsisle, nande?
We praise you with certain updates in the test realm.
Yet one troubles us...
The Warehouse tower.
We thought Briskbreeze was enough, but now you've gone to far. We understand you want to give us a challenge, but it's too much of one. This is a family-friendly game, and you're making seem difficult for many families, like mine. With this new tower, everyone will lose hope for Celestia rapidly. You will anger millions of wizards and they will ultimately quit this MMO. You have to change this or you will lose your 10 million consumers quickly. I hope you understand.

Simple suggestions for w101
KI, I have some questions and suggestions for w101.
-After Celestia, will futuristic and cavemen themes be next?
-Balance shield and prism, PLEASE!
-Like school-themed houses, there should be school-themed mounts. (ex. Balance: Scarab)
-Will the astral schools be the new weakness of Balance instead of the spirit schools?
-Gargoyle and Griffin mounts, please?
Well that's all I got.

10 million wizards in W101!
Ten Million Wizards Join Forces to Save the Spiral in Wizard101
PLANO, TEXAS (June 22, 2010) – KingsIsle Entertainment, Inc. today announced that since its launch in September 2008, more than 10 million Wizards have registered to play Wizard101. Today, the Wizard101 player base continues to grow at an accelerating rate and KingsIsle expects rapid growth to continue for the foreseeable future.
"Over the last twenty months our domestic launch has taken us from an unheard of company with an unknown product to running one of the most successful properties in the family entertainment space," said Elie Akilian, chairman and CEO of KingsIsle Entertainment. "I am profoundly grateful to the millions of extraordinary people who call Wizard City home and the talented writers, artists, designers, producers and engineers who have come together to create this magical world."
While the technical and creative design requirements to create a virtual, safe and compelling online universe such as Wizard101 are enormous, it is the active and enthusiastic community of players that truly makes Wizard101 come alive.
"We are overwhelmed and honored by this huge achievement," said J. Todd Coleman, VP and Creative Director of KingsIsle Entertainment. "We will continue our work to add exciting new content and features to Wizard101 through the launch of our next world, Celestia, and well beyond."
As a small gesture of thanks to the wonderful denizens of Wizard City, KingsIsle Entertainment is offering every Wizard a complementary "Party Pack" and encouraging them to throw a grand celebration welcoming Wizard #10,000,001 to the Ravenwood School of Magical Arts. Each Party Pack will contain a decorative banner, balloons, a festive party hat and a celebratory cake.
To receive this FREE item set, simply go to www.wizard101.com/promo and enter the word PARTYPACK.
Omedeto(Congrats), Kingsisle!
You have successfully become one of the many top-grossing MMOs in history!
We luv ya!
Happy celebrating!

New world, advanced pet system and level cap increase included in two Wizard101 content updates
PLANO, TEXAS (March 24, 2010) – KingsIsle Entertainment, creators of the award-winning massively multiplayer online game (MMO) Wizard101 is proud to announce details on two of the major content updates for 2010. An extensive Advanced Pet system is launching this spring and the world of Celestia is launching late summer. In addition to all new quests the Celestia expansion will also include an increased level cap and new secondary schools of magic.
Coming this spring, players will have the opportunity to hatch customized pets from millions of potential combinations. The Advanced Pet system will bring a new dimension of interaction within Wizard101 as players can race their pets in the expansive Pet Derby, participate in new pet-themed minigames, feed and train them, and use them as allies in magic duels. Players will be able to level their pets from an egg to ancient beings with incredible powers.
The new world of Celestia is inspired by Atlantis, and young Wizards will encounter new adventures and quests deep under the sea. Celestia also increases the level cap in Wizard101 from level 50 up to level 60, as well as introducing three new secondary schools of magic. Celestia will officially open in late summer. Starting in June players can undertake new quests to discover the secrets of this new world and begin to unlock the story behind Celestia.
"2010 is shaping up to be an incredible year for the students of Ravenwood School of Magic," said J. Todd Coleman, Vice President and Creative Director for KingsIsle Entertainment. "Whether exploring the underwater kingdom of Celestia, or hatching and training pets to participate in the Pet Derby, every player–from the newest apprentice to the returning grandmaster–will find something compelling, engaging and fun."
Can't wait for this! So exciting!

Celestia and Atlantis comparison??
I think Celestia and the lost City of Atlantis are much alike.
Atlantis was an island kingdom that had advanced technology and medicine.
One day, a giant wave sank the city and buried it into the sea.
My theory is that Celestia, since its name means the stars, was once a kingdom of celestial people and objects in the Spiral.
One day a dark force(besides Malistare) flooded this world and turned the residents into sea creatures.
What do you think about this?
Happy pondering!

It hurts just seeing pain afflicted on others.
I'm not leaving, don't worry, but I need time to let go of pain. Thank you all for kind words.

THINGS WERE LOOKING BLEAK for the Jarrell Cougars, a football team from a small Texas high school with something big to prove. It was their first game of the season, and on a hot September night they were trailing the favored Bruceville-Eddy Eagles 18-0 late in the second quarter. The Cougars hadn't had a winning season since 1986, and here they were, losing yet again. It fell to Johnnie Martone, 18, a senior and team leader, to rally the troops. "Remember," he told them at half time, "who we are playing for."
That was all he had to say. Every rawboned kid sweating under shoulder pads knew just whom he meant: their six Cougar teammates who had died in a devastating tornado that ripped through Jarrell on May 27, killing 27 people in the town. The team had decided to unofficially dedicate the season to their lost friends—John and Michael Ruiz, Ryan and Erik Moehring, John and Paul Igo—and the gesture had worried many school officials and parents. "Jarrell has a history of losing," says Beverly Kitchens, whose son Matt, 17, is the team's star running back. "I didn't want them to feel that everything is lost if they lose." The dedication set off a heartfelt debate: Shouldn't Jarrell put the tragedy behind it and just move on?
But the Cougars weren't about to change their minds, and they weren't about to lose their first game. They came out after half time and scored a touchdown on their first possession. Then they scored three more times. Final score: Cougars 27, Eagles 24. When it was over, and after the players had huddled and pointed toward the heavens, tight end Chris Arldt, 16, stared long and hard at the scoreboard, appreciating the terrible irony—27 points, 27 lives lost. "That," he says, "was a powerful feeling."
Lately, tiny Jarrell—population about 1,000—has known little but powerful feelings. A flat stretch of heartland 39 miles north of Austin, the town spent a long, painful summer picking itself up from the crippling May 27 tornado and wrestling with the profound changes it wrought. In particular, Jarrell's youngsters, its carefree teenagers, were forced to grow up in a hurry. "They now understand that life is not promised," says high school superintendent Larry Hausenfluke, noting that there have been fewer disciplinary incidents since the tragedy. "I haven't had a boy wonder why he can't wear an earring or a girl show up with a ring through her nose."
That new maturity has also been evident on the football field. "In past years we'd be down 18 points and we would just quit," says junior quarter-back Ernest Viduare, 17. "But we've been brought together big-time. We're like a family." The Cougars followed their first win with another come-from-behind victory against the Milano Eagles and beat the Hyde Park Panthers for their third straight win—as many as they had all last year, when they went 3-7. "I see these teens pulling together now," says Johnnie Martone's mother, Virginia. "The town has suffered loss, and this is something good."
And yet, as much as the gallant Cougars have helped knit the shattered town together, no one is likely ever to forget that horrible afternoon in May. TV reports had warned townspeople that a category F5 tornado—the strongest possible storm of its type, with winds that can reach 318 mph—was headed their way. Residents scrambled for safety in underground shelters and sturdy houses as the twister appeared on the horizon. "You could not see around it, it was so big," says LaDonna Peterson, who peeked at the tornado from her mother-in-law's house. "It was digging the pavement right off the road." Stephen Gaswint, 17, remembers being on the phone with his best friend, Erik Moehring, 16. "He told me he saw the tornado coming," says Stephen. "He said, 'I've got to go,' and I told him, 'Be safe.' " Minutes later, the tornado leveled the subdivision where the Moehrings lived, killing Erik, his brother and his parents.
In its 30-minute rampage across the Jarrell plains, the tornado caused more than $20 million in damage. "It was like someone dropped a bomb," says Peterson, whose house was flattened, "like a vacuum cleaner just sucked it away" Ernest Viduare and Chris Arldt were among the first on the scene after the tornado passed and still cannot speak of the horror they witnessed. "I saw my friends," is all Chris will say.
Stephen Gaswint, who lost his sister and nephew, scoured the wreckage and found pictures of pal Erik; the photos are now his treasured keepsakes. He also found and kept a muddied Goofy doll that had belonged to Audrey Igo, 17, who died along with her twin brothers and parents. But Audrey's bright red drill-team costume was left for months on the spot where it landed, about 100 yards from her home—a reminder too painful even to pick up. "Then the sun faded the red out of it," says Stephen's mother, Sylvia, "and we were finally able to throw it away."
Feelings of sadness and anger have been even slower to fade. At a memorial roll call on the first day of school, students answered, "Present in our memory," when the names of the dead were called out. Around that time talk of dedicating the football season to the victims began "in the weight room or after practice," says Johnnie Martone, who came up with the idea. Despite concerns about "a false sense of failure if they didn't win," says Johnnie's father, William, the Cougars went ahead with their plan. "Not a day goes by that I don't think of them," says defensive back Daniel Crum, 16. "So I'm going to play every game for them."
Against the Bruceville-Eddy Eagles, the Cougars rose to the challenge. "That game sort of mimicked the tragedy," says Roy Arldt, Chris's father, who played on a Cougar team that reached the state finals in 1972. "The kids regrouped and showed the world how the community overcame obstacles to win. You couldn't have scripted that game any better."
Then, after two more rousing victories came the letdown that many had feared—the Cougars lost three games in a row. They now stand at 3-3 and with four games to go still have a chance at a winning season. More important, "the boys were not demoralized by losing," says their coach Tracy Burke, 34. A sense of accomplishment, a spirit of togetherness had already taken hold. "As long as we give all that we've got," says Stephen Gaswint, "then we've not let anyone down."
On the contrary, the Cougars have helped to pick people up. Juan Ruiz lost his entire family to the tornado: his wife, Maria, and sons, John, 15, and Michael, 14. With Juan away at work, the Ruizes, fearing that the tornado was heading for their trailer home, took shelter in the Moehrings' sturdier house. Sadly, that home wound up in the tornado's path, while the Ruizes' house was spared. So far, the still grieving father has been unable to touch anything in his sons' room, and has left it cluttered with bicycles and a weightlifting bench. "I don't know when I'll get the nerve to clean it out," he says.
One of the Cougars, Matt Kitchens, told the elder Ruiz that he and his teammates would play their hearts out in memory of his sons. "And he did," says Ruiz proudly. "They all did." Watching that opening game was a cathartic moment for Ruiz and a moment he almost missed, since for a time he thought it would be too painful to attend. "I didn't know how I would feel," he says. "But I felt good." Like so many others in Jarrell, he found that there was solace in watching the Cougars play football, and in remembering for whom they were playing.

The recent announcement that Microsoft is purchasing Nokia for some £4.6bn/ $7.2bn was for many not a surprise. With a former Microsoft leader, Stephen Elop heading Nokia these last couple of years it was perhaps inevitable that the two would come together. After all one of his first strategic moves was to sacrifice Nokia's beloved Symbian software and move to Microsoft's Windows Phone.
In this article we look at the skills a business partner in today's leading companies requires to have the appropriate impact. It will provide you with an opportunity to reflect and assess how you measure up. What do you do well and what might you need to develop or add to your skill set?
In this short article we will talk about what benefits they bring.
In this short article we will talk about why we use feedback tools for structured feedback and how they should be used.
A valuable tool for providing feedback to managers is a 180° or 360° instrument. Feedback is critical for managers and leaders developing an objective sense of self awareness and identifying their strengths and areas for development.
Facilitation is an important skill set that everybody has to some degree of proficiency. However to be able to apply it to achieve results with different groups of managers requires having both a good tool kit of techniques and a good understanding of when and how to intervene. These enable the facilitator to have the appropriate impact in helping the group or unit or department produce valuable results. It is a valuable additional weapon for the armory of HR professionals especially when they are stepping into a business partnering role.
On a recent visit to Finland to deliver a leadership program I took the opportunity to call in to see a number of other clients. An interesting fact cropped up. Three of the four companies I visited had recently restructured their HR function. In all three cases the dotted line relationship between the HR Vice President at head office and the HR Directors and Managers at business unit and country level was being replaced by a solid line. The local and regional HR professionals were now reporting directly to their functional head and no longer to the line of business manager.
Have you ever asked a colleague or key stakeholder for feedback on how you communicate and what effect this has on them?
Like all support functions in today's world, the finance function is under increasing pressure to demonstrate value added services to the business. However many finance functions remain bogged down in detail and complexity; often dealing with accounting and budgeting as opposed to real business intelligence and simply reporting too many metrics and measures.
Two keys to influencing upwards are where are you starting from and what are the preferences and expectations of the senior leaders you need to influence.

A masters is earned after students complete an undergraduate degree program. To obtain a masters, you usually need to complete 12 to 18 college courses that often involve completing comprehensive tests and/or a thesis.
An applied arts degree program may be offered for many different fields of study. The main characteristic is that this type of program is not research-based. Instead, it is designed to be vocational in nature.
Dealing with public universities is far from an optimal option. Private schools provide much better assistance in your distance learning experience. Several online university draws teachers and students at great distances from all over the world. This vastly increases the diversity in a distance learning classroom and produces challenging conversation among those from hugely divergent communities, regions, and distant cultures.

ST. LOUIS - MoDOT and City of St. Louis engineers have been monitoring the intersection of Manchester and Kingshighway. The left turn traffic on eastbound Manchester to go north on Kingshighway has increased significantly since the closure of the east half of the I-64 project. In response, MoDOT crews will make changes to the signals and the striping late next week to add a second left turn lane. Message boards will be installed to alert motorists of the new dual left turn. The new eastbound lanes will be as follows: left turn only lane, a shared left turn or straight lane and a shared straight or right turn lane. Motorists should be alert for these changes by the end of next week.
This morning's traffic was affected by a few crashes on I-44 near Hampton. Several lanes were closed and traffic increased on other streets especially Manchester Road as motorists used alternates to
I-44. All lanes were cleared around 9 a.m.
Water main breaks with the cold temperatures are causing traffic delays at spots around the region. This morning's new water main breaks included one at Memorial and Washington Avenue at the Missouri end of the Eads Bridge and one on Lindbergh at Sappington in South County. Water crews are working to repair these, but motorists should expect lane closures and possible delays at any of the break locations.
Route 109 south of Old Manchester Road in Wildwood is closed this morning due to power lines on the road. AmerenUE crews are working to repair it and anticipate the road reopening this afternoon.

And what about the women who we judge to "have it all together"? Or, those women who appear to have a perfect life? Often, these women believe that if we really knew who they were, we would not like or accept them.
There are many women who are hiding behind the I've Got It All Together mask.
The IGIAT mask is the one we hide behind so that we do not have to reveal anything about ourselves. So we don't look bad. Don't get me wrong, it's okay to walk in a positive light with a positive attitude. God wants us there. I'm talking about being afraid to let people in, to let them know that we need prayer, or have issues with our children, marriage, job, etc.
Hiding behind the mask is harmful to us, but it can also be harmful to others. When other women see us and assume, because we have our mask up, that all is perfect, they may feel inferior. When we are willing to be transparent with other women and allow them to see us as we really are, we can be an encouragement.
You may have heard the saying, "Friends for a season, friends for a reason, friends for a lifetime." Over the past year, I have been contemplating the meaning of this statement. If you are like me, you'd like to keep all of your friends as friends forever. But that isn't the life cycle of friendship.
What gets in the way of friendship between women? Jealously, envy, and mistrust are a few things that can prevent us from being friends. Hurtful experiences in the past with women friends can get in the way.
There is no way to know the details of another person's life unless we invest in them.
How would God have us to approach this? We can't spend time in someone else's shoes if we don't have a "someone" in our life.
My challenge to you:
- Be open! Don't withdraw into yourself.
- Be intentional! Make the decision that you will reach out.
- Be loving! Approach every relationship from a love standpoint as Jesus asked us to do.
Aren't you glad that God does not just look at our outer circumstances and judge us by what appears to be true? The Lord knows everything about us and He loves us unconditionally.
Sherry Poundstone's passion is to show women that God sees them as He created them, not through the eyes of the world. Through humor and real-life examples, Sherry explores the practical life application of God's principles.

The Knicks hope to climb to the No. 4 spot in the Eastern Conference and open the playoffs with homecourt advantage.
"I'm looking at one thing and one thing only,'' said Mike Woodson, who is 13-4 since taking over as coach. "That's winning the division. I'm trying to get this team to understand they still have a legitimate shot to win the division. That means more to me than anything — to be able to host the first round in front of our fans. We couldn't ask for much more than that."
With seven games left, the Knicks are three-and-a-half games behind Boston for the fourth seed.
"We got a legitimate shot if we continue to win out," Woodson said. "If you don't' push that and force guys to think that way, you're in it for the wrong reasons. It will give us a lot better chance to get out of the first round.''

It hopes the technique â variable equity financing â will solve the problem of equity overhang in bid finance. "This is an instrument quite new to the market in the context of acquisition finance," said Stephan Theissing, head of corporate finance...
