Can you help me cost this project please?
Hi guys,
My partner and I are in the early stages of our first start-up. We are both relatively tech illiterate. We know exactly what our website needs in terms of function but we have no idea how to create it ourselves. More importantly we have no idea how much we should be paying someone to do it for us.
I would love to learn about the average costs per specific function of our site. I know prices are not cut in stone on the web development market but any knowledge you could share would be great.
What we need:
1) Static homepage which begins the customer sales funnel. Following pages will be simple html sales pages.
2) Payment processors. Stripe and Paypal.
3) Email opt-in.
4) User registration. We would like to collect some information on our users. However, we will not require the function of them 'signing in' to any sort of user dashboard on our site or anything like that.
Our business model is actually very similar to this website and would basically require the same elements.
Also, I would love to hear advice on hiring one person for this project or hiring different experts for each individual function.
Thank you so much guys, I really appreciate all of the help I've received from the great people on this forum.

Pretty easy website to build. Expect to pay $400 - $1,000 for it depending on quality, page content, if there are callbacks on the payment processing, any CMS or admin panels, etc. But it seems straight forward.Been a sign maker for 8 years. My business:

That sounds reasonably straightforward.
Given your situation and skills I'd suggest you want to use one of the free content management systems (which allow a non technical user to edit and add content). Personally I'd recommend Wordpress, with an eCommerce plugin which will handle your payment needs and probably another to handle your email needs. Have to admit I've never heard of Stripe but there are indeed a number of WP plugins that would handle this integration.
For a small project like this I think it would be easier to just use a single developer. There's really no need for more, and you then avoid the admittedly small risk of two different pieces of code from different developers not working with each other.
I think something in the region of £500-£700 should cover it.Use the W3C HTML Validator and CSS Validator to check your code and Firebug to see what css is applied to an element

WATKINSVILLE - Two automatic external heart defibrillators are being donated to the Oconee County School System by an Athens-based company to put in both county high schools in case of emergency.

The Oconee County Board of Education on Monday accepted the donation from Community Life Link - a company created to train businesses, organizations and the public in how to use the device, combined with CPR training.
A Life Link representative is scheduled to visit the schools today to start training staff members how to use the defibrillators - a device to treat sudden cardiac arrest in individuals.
Tricia Kardon, president of Community Life Link, said Tuesday the defibrillators are easy to use and cost-effective, but training needs to be done for the schools to be adequately prepared for an emergency.
"(We) make sure they have the proper training, make sure they have the right equipment, make sure that they've got a program that's going to be successful and be able to continue the responsibility of having a defibrillator," Kardon said. "There is not much to it, but there are things that you need to do to keep it going."
Kardon will donate her time to train those who will use the equipment. She said the school system is still in the process of deciding who will be trained to use the devices, but school nurses and athletic trainers are among those likely to be trained.
Kardon said one of the reasons she started Community Life Link was because she found out that too many organizations and individuals were purchasing the machines, but not installing them correctly and not having the proper training to put them in use.
She said it's very important to have them in schools, especially because there may be students who have heart conditions they are unaware of. She said that the defibrillators are not just for the students, but also for the staff.
Kardon will attend the next school board meeting at 7 p.m. Monday at the school board office, 31 School St., to formally present the defibrillators.

After last week announcing that the seventh and final Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows would be split into two parts, producers have now redrawn that proclaiming that it will in fact be split into 67 parts.
"It would be impossible to fit the entire story line into just a few films." David Yates director of the blockbuster told us rubbing his hands together "The only way it will all fit is if we do it in 67 different mini films, this way fans will pay me lots of money... I mean fans will be able to enjoy Potter for longer."
Daniel Radcliffe who plays the boy wizard took the same attitude "Yeah it is all good." He said as he casually burnt a fifty pound note with a diamond studded lighter "It is all for the fans though I value them you know without them I would be nothing. Yeah it has nothing to do with the money I get, did you know I was worth £58,686,686 million?"
Though not everyone is taking it as good news. We snook it to the prison cell where J.K Rowling is being held on suspicion of telling lies and ask her opinion "What these people do not understand is that Harry is a BOY wizard, by the time they finish he will be bleeding 45!" she screamed as she threw her cell mate across the room.
We left then because prison seems to have messed with the authoress head and we were scared.

TETZINO INDIANS. This name is connected with a group of Indians who entered the San Antonio de Valero Mission in San Antonio about 1740. It has been argued that the Tetzinos were Tonkawan because they entered this mission along with other Indians considered to be Tonkawan in affiliation. This appears to be supported by linguistic evidence. The name Tetzino may be a Spanish distortion of Titskan (the Tonkawan name for themselves was Titskan watitch, "indigenous people").

Thousands of ham radio operators across the country, including those in St. Augustine, will be showing off their emergency capabilities this coming weekend.
Over the past few years, the news has been full of reports of ham radio operators providing critical communications in emergencies worldwide.
On Saturday and Sunday, the public will have a chance to meet and talk with these ham radio operators and see for themselves what the Amateur Radio Service is about. Showing the newest digital and voice communications and even historical Morse code, hams from across the country will be holding public demonstrations of emergency communications abilities.
In the St. Augustine area, the St. Augustine Amateur Radio Society (SAARS) will be participating in the annual Field Day event at Faver-Dykes State Park. They invite the public to come and see ham radio's capabilities and learn how to get their own FCC radio license before the next disaster strikes. Amateur Radio Operators will be available to demonstrate the various ham radio equipment and operating modes and also will give anyone who wants a chance to actually get on the air by making a Field Day contact with another station.
The State Park is located in southern St. Johns County near the U.S. 1 and I-95 intersection at 1000 Faver-Dykes Road.
A testing session will be held for those who want to take an Amateur Radio examination to get a license or to upgrade to a higher license. Field Day starts at 2 p.m. Saturday and runs continuously for 24 hours.
This annual event is the climax of the week-long "Amateur Radio Week" sponsored by the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) and the National Association for Amateur Radio. The ARRL was founded in 1914 and is a nonprofit national organization of Radio Amateurs.
There are nearly 700,000 Amateur Radio operators in the United States, and there are more than 2.5 million around the world. Through the ARRL, ham volunteers provide emergency communications for the DHS Citizens' Corps, the American Red Cross, Salvation Army, FEMA and thousands of state and local agencies, all for free.

Keeping An Eye On The Bad Guys; Keeping Our Communities Safe
State Senator John J. Bonacic, District Attorney Stephen Lungen, Sheriff Michael Schiff, and Sullivan County Probation Department Director Genevieve Dainack, today announced that $250,000 in State funding will be made available to the County to implement a GPS tracking program for sex offenders who are sentenced to jail or probation.
Senator Bonacic has secured the passage of legislation (S.4656-B) in the Senate on two occasions which would mandate GPS tracking for all Level 3 sex offenders.
"My first preference would be to lock up sex offenders for life. The reality is, however, there are many criminals, who for varying reasons, may not be convicted at trial and end up pleading to a lesser crime. It is for those individuals, as well as for those released from jail but still under supervision, that GPS can be used as a tool to better monitor their activities," Bonacic said.
The Senator emphasized, however, that "GPS is not a replacement for longer prison terms and hands on supervision. It must be treated as supplemental to, and not in lieu of, the professional probation staff here in Sullivan County," Bonacic said.
Sullivan County District Attorney Stephen Lungen said, "I believe this could be a very useful tool in keeping track of the Level 3 predators which, in turn, will keep our communities safer."
"We should use today's technology whenever we can, to fight crime", said Sheriff Michael Schiff. "GPS monitoring will give the law enforcement officer the added dimension of being with the offender 24 hours a day. It will make it easier to determine if they are complying with the terms and conditions of their release".
Director Dainack said, "The Sullivan County Probation Department would like to thank Senator Bonacic for securing the funding that will allow our department to participate in this pilot program. We will be able to keep our communities more safe and secure by using Global Positioning System technology to monitor certain sex offenders under Probation Supervision. Probation Officers are diligent in their supervision by making home visits and other community contacts to ensure sex offenders comply with their Order and Conditions of Probation, and we believe using GPS technology will enhance those efforts to protect the community."
Currently, more than twenty states use GPS monitoring, which is more advanced than traditional electronic monitoring. Under traditional electronic monitoring, an officer is only able to determine when the offender is in his or her residence, not where they actually are or where they have been.
Under GPS monitoring, probation officers can determine where the offender is at any given moment, or where the offender has been during the course of the day depending on whether or not the offender is on "active" or "passive" monitoring. The GPS unit is typically mounted in an ankle bracelet or is placed on a belt loop attachment which is electronically linked to an ankle bracelet. If the attachment goes too far from the GPS ankle bracelet, an alert is sent to probation officials.
The cost of the monitoring, an estimated $3,000 per year per offender, will be covered by the funding secured by Senator Bonacic, as will necessary administrative costs.
Bonacic was instrumental in securing funding in the State budget for a GPS pilot program. Sullivan becomes the second county in the State to receive funding under the pilot program. "My hope is that Sullivan and other pilot program counties will prove the value of GPS statewide and that the Assembly will change its position and realize this is one more way we can keep an eye on those who commit these type of crimes," Senator Bonacic concluded.

Northward Ho!
It should not be forgotten that Orkney and Shetland were not even Scottish until 1471, they were Norwegian provinces
Sir, By choosing the 700th anniversary of the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314 for its independence referendum, the SNP is hoping Scotland will be united by national pride that will swing the result its way.
But in its revisionist fervour the SNP conveniently ignores the history of the Northern Isles. The year 1314 is more relevant to us as the date our capital was moved from Bergen to Oslo. Scotland did not annex Orkney and Shetland until 1471. Before that the islands were Norwegian provinces.

Most people have musical preferences and are actually enjoying listening to music. In parties of all kinds music is a crucial element for entertainment and there is always need for skilled people to play a catchy music. If you have exquisite music tastes and a passion for the entertainment business you could try to become a reputed Disc Jockey and earn big money. We will present you in this article more about the challenges of such a career and you will see what knowledge and skills you ought to have in order to be acknowledged as a good professional in this line of work. For those keen on the idea and having the necessary skills we will also present in the final section of the article the benefits of taking a certification on this topic.
We should begin by having a closer insight onto the career of Disc Jockey or DJ, as we all know it. Perhaps you have heard about famous such professionals from television because those truly wealthy and appreciated are shooting videos for their music. You should know a Disc Jockey is the person in charge with selecting and playing recorded music for a specific audience. Although originally the term referred to phonograph records, nowadays it designates all the types of music playback. You as a DJ might be in charge, for example, with choosing music for a party or Disco. You will also be the one to play it at the specific location, so DJs also require many pieces of equipment to accomplish their job duties. Experienced Disc Jockeys may be put in charge not only with operating the music and the speakers, but also with the light shows at parties or school dances. You might also need to introduce particular songs and speak with the audience for ensuring the entertainment. As you should already know, DJs are supposed to change songs without stop. This is why they wear headsets. These headsets help them listen to one song while another one is being played to the audience, or to listen to both recordings at the same time. This way, Disc Jockeys are able to adjust the speed of the songs following in the headset. You will usually need to take a minute at the end of each song when the melody starts fading away but the beat is still beating. The music heard on the floor is slowly disappearing and the song you hear in the headset is fading in. Keeping your headset next to the ears is crucial for you to be able to adjust the speed constantly and ensure a continuous music playback.
You should know there are many types of Disc Jockeys so you can decide to target a particular field. There are, for instance, radio DJs who are in charge with introducing and playing the songs that are broadcasted on AM, FM, digital, shortwave or Internet radio stations. Club DJs are playing music in clubs, bars, discothèques, raves, parties or even in stadiums. There is also reggae DJs who are vocalists and who rap or chat over particular pre-recorded rhythm tracks. Another category includes the hip hop Disc Jockeys who make a selection of music to be played using many turntables. These DJs are often backing up MCs and they are also required to do turntable scratching in order to create percussive sounds. You may also choose to be a mobile DJ and travel along with your portable equipment to play recorded music at events of all kinds. Whatever DJ category you wish to target you will need to possess specific pieces of equipment and master the techniques necessary for accomplishing job duties in this field. The equipment usually consists of a combination of devices for playing music recordings, sound recordings, a sequencer, a sound system for amplifying and broadcasting the recordings, a DJ mixer to help you go from one song to another, headphones and eventually a microphone for you to keep contact with the audience and introduce songs.
If you are committed to becoming a DJ and have the right skills to succeed in this business you should take a certificate proving you master all the important concepts and knowledge related to such an entertainment career. Brainmeasures.com can become your best alternative, because it is the global leader in online certification and skill testing and offers a quality online test for DJs.

Ionian Coast and Ancient Messene
I turned Pegasus's nose westward: we were ready for the Olympic site at Ancient Messene and the Ionian coast. The direct route from Mystras swirls over the thrilling and lethal Taygetos Mountains, where the Spartans left their unwanted young. We climbed above gorges tossed with rocks and pines; views fell away from our wheels. Topping the crest we descended the arid back of the massif, passed Kalamata and came into the province of Messinia, a green and sandy land shelving down to the Ionian Sea.
Ancient Messene was a city-state at the foot of Mount Ithome, which the earliest inhabitants worshipped. Ithome failed to protect them from the Spartans; but in 369BC Epaminondas, a leader of genius, vanquisher of Spartan armies, re-established Messene for Sparta's slaves. Epaminondas had its nine kilometres of walls, seven metres high, run up in 85 days. Fractions of those walls still defend the ruins of what must have been an enviable place to live - watered, ordered and templed, planned for the mind and body.
'Maths, medicine, all that we call science they called philosophy,' said Maria Loukaridou, our guide at Messene. 'The discipline of the gymnasium - from gymnos, "naked" - was not just for war, but for education, to rule the passions.' The gymnasium was a busy public place, Loukaridou explained, where teaching and discussion took place under porticoes adjacent to the practice areas for discus, javelin and races.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE: Scripps Health is enrolling patients in a clinical trial of an investigational treatment that shows promise to control high blood pressure by calming hyperactive nerves. The procedure, called renal denervation, could potentially help the nearly 6 million Americans and 100 million people worldwide who have treatment-resistant hypertension. Renal denervation is a minimally invasive procedure in which a physician threads a catheter into the arteries leading to the kidney, then delivers pulses of radio-frequency energy that interrupt the signaling in nerves to and from that organ. The study will enroll approximately 530 treatment-resistant hypertension patients across several U.S. medical centers. Contact Chelsea Butler at 858-554-5374 for more about the clinical trial. Prospective participants also are encouraged to visit www.SymplifyBPtrial.com, to learn more about the Symplicity HTN-3 study and their potential eligibility for the trial. People considering participation in the trial should be diagnosed with hypertension and unable to control their hypertension even when taking three or more blood pressure medications.

text: I saw a set of used Fender beveled pole pickups in a music store. The employee told me they were stock pickups he pulled from a used American Std jazz bass he took in on a trade. I own a 62 AVRI bridge pickup which looks the same but mine has cloth wire and his did not. Is he correct or could they be 62 reissues? How can I tell for sure? Mine has pink writing and a dot. I don't recall if his have this. Is this of any significance?

"Fantastic range of products and all delivered promptly. An idea would be to include a returns label when purchasing goods as I had to pay *** to return items. I couldn't use the downloaded one. Other than that I would certainly recommend your store to anyone."

text: MELBOURNE, Oct 7 (Reuters) - Australian shares are set to open higher on Monday, but buying is likely to be thin with part of the country on a public holiday and investors wary of the potential consequences of a prolonged U.S. budget and debt battle. * Local share price index futures rose 0.6 percent to 5,236.0, a 28-point premium to the underlying S&P/ASX 200 index close. The benchmark fell 0.5 percent on Friday. * New Zealand's benchmark NZX 50 index was steady in early trade, gaining half a point to 4,759.9. * U.S. stocks rebounded on Friday, but major stock indexes ended the week lower as a federal government shutdown continued for a fourth day, with no sign of an end to a budget stalemate in Washington. * Copper rose 1 percent on Friday, helped by bullish technical signals and as investors weighed whether the U.S. government shutdown could delay a Federal Reserve move to cut its stimulus program. Gold fell as the U.S. dollar recovered from two-month lows. * Shares in aspiring coal miner Cokal Ltd could come under pressure after its Singapore-based suitor Blumont Group abruptly called off a proposed S$146 million ($117 million) takeover after Blumont's shares sank 56 percent. * Discovery Metals may also be in the frame after Blumont shares plunged. Blumont owns 85 percent of Blumont Copper, which last month bought a 12 percent stake in Discovery as part of a $108 million rescue deal. ----------------------MARKET SNAPSHOT @ 2129 GMT ------------ INSTRUMENT LAST PCT CHG NET CHG S&P 500 1690.5 0.71% 11.840 USD/JPY 97.29 0.23% 0.220 10-YR US TSY YLD 2.6447 -- 0.000 SPOT GOLD 1310.38 0.00% 0.000 US CRUDE 103.79 0.46% 0.480 DOW JONES 15072.58 0.51% 76.10 ASIA ADRS 147.21 0.62% 0.91 ------------------------------------------------------------- * Wall St ends up, but falls for week as shutdown drags on * Oil ends higher as offshore oil output cut due to storm * Gold slips as dollar recovers; eye on U.S. shutdown * Copper up, market weighs shutdown impact For a digest of the day's business stories in Australian newspapers, double click on (Australia/New Zealand bureaux; +61 2 9373 1800/+64 4 471 4234) (Editing by Christopher Wilson)

A suspect in a child sex and drug case is back in Virginia 12 years after disappearing.
Wesley Thomason was arrested Nov. 21, 2000, accused of providing drugs to minors and filming himself having sex with at least two of them, police said. But he fled Fairfax County before a court appearance.
Earlier this year, authorities learned that the 39-year-old Thomason might be living in Mexico, police said. Mexican authorities took him into custody and sent him to California July 20. He was returned to Fairfax County July 31.
Thomason, who authorities said illegally sold the videos, was charged with carnal knowledge, manufacturing sexually explicit material involving a minor, possession of cocaine, and indecent liberties. He faces up to 40 years in prison if convicted of all charges.
Anyone who knows how Thomason evaded authorities or knows of other possible victims should contact police at 703-691-2131 or Crime Solvers at 866-411-TIPS/8477.


text: Good Morning Everyone. I am searching for a Wedding Ring Quilt Pattern, I am getting ready to take a class on this and would like to see a pattern so I can work on my colors and yardage before I start the class (because for the next week I may have a little extra time to do this. The instructor will give us the pattern when we start the class, I just want a head start so I can be thinking about this. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I must say I searced on line for about 30 minutes and then realized that I was probably not going to my best resource, my quilting friends on the Quilting Board. Shame on me, I should have thought of you guys first. With all the Christmas frenzy (and it was all wonderful) I am getting anxious to continue sewing. Thanks in advance.

Leo II, (died Nov. 10, 474), Roman emperor of the East, grandson of Leo I, and son of Zeno. His grandfather, growing ill, felt compelled to name a successor but, deciding that his son-in-law Zeno, an Isaurian, was unpopular, made his grandson co-emperor, as Caesar and then Augustus, at the young age of five (or six). After his grandfather's death (Feb. 3, 474), Leo II became emperor, and his father was made co-emperor (February 9), but he survived only several months, leaving the throne to Zeno and his mother, Ariadne.

Your Kind of Town
Day 4
Lincoln Park
Wake up with the animals at Lincoln Park Zoo (2200 N. Cannon Drive, 312-742-2000, lpzoo.org), the nation's oldest free zoo. The zoo's small size makes it easy to walk around, perfect for a summer stroll.
If you're lucky enough to be at the zoo on Wednesday or Saturday, head a few blocks south to Green City Market (south end of Lincoln Park, 773-880-1266, greencitymarket.org), a fabulous farmer's market offering sustainable and organic produce. Keep an eye out for the city's top chefs who shop here for unusual organic veggies. Bring a blanket for a fun picnic lunch.
Just south of the zoo, the Chicago History Museum (1601 N. Clark St., 312-642-4600, chicagohistory.org) has well-designed exhibits about Chicago's past and present. Kids can pretend they're giant hot dogs and pile on all the fixings of a Chicago-style dog ("a garden on a bun"), while adults learn about the city's fascinating history.
Several restaurants provide allergy-friendly options in Lincoln Park. Don't miss the guacamole prepared tableside at Adobo Grill (1610 N. Wells St., 312-266-7999, adobogrill.com), a festive Mexican eatery with a gluten-free menu.
Next to Adobo Grill is Second City (1616 N. Wells St., 312-337-3992, secondcity.com), the legendary sketch comedy club that has forged many a career, from Gilda Radner to Tina Fey. Also in Lincoln Park, Steppenwolf Theatre (1650 N. Halsted St., 312-335-1650, www.steppenwolf.org) is known for its compelling, innovative plays.

In response to the user survey issued by bike share app Spotcycle, it's prudent to launch a discussion about the state of the bike share app market. Bike share apps are numerous, with every major operator offering their own app, varying widely in functionality. And with the transient nature of open docks, available bikes, and station locations, riders rely on up-to-date apps to plan their trips accordingly.
A typical bike share app displays stations on a map with available bikes/docks, alerting users to offline stations or those that are full or empty. B-cycle's app is probably the best embodiment of this approach, which simply lists B-cycle cities and available docks and station locations. Some, like Spotcycle and PBSC's 'CycleFinder,' offer a timer to remind users of their 30 minute free riding limit which offer push notifications to alert you when your close to your limit. And others provide more detailed mapping information with preferred bike routes and transit locations, like 'Chicago Bike Guide' that I tested while using Divvy Bikes in Chicago. Similarly, Spotcycle also allows users to share routes and to overlay bike routes in some of its cities.
In terms of features, the best of the bike share apps is Citi Bike's who developed their own app rather than use the PBSC (Citi Bike's equipment supplier) offering. The first thing apparent about this app is that the look and feel incorporates modern design elements, like the sliding side-menus that Facebook has pioneered. Perhaps the app's best feature is station-to-station directions, which is a significant user-experience hole missing from other bike apps.
While I have yet to travel to New York City to use the Citi Bike app in practice, after a cursory trip to the App Store, it seems like the best app on the market. However, it's also missing some crucial features like displaying transit stops or bike routes. Currently, the optional overlays only show restaurants, bike shops, coffee, and (of course) Citibank branches. There have also been reports of the Citi Bike app inaccurately reporting station statistics. And in an office discussion, our editor mentioned he can't open the app without it crashing moments later. (And apparently he's not the only one who has had issues.)
While developing an app certainly isn't easy or cheap, none of the aforementioned apps provide a complete solution to the bike share experience. Here are some suggestions to developing the perfect bike share app.
Station-to-Station Bike Directions
One of the biggest issues I've encountered while using bike share is a frustration I've named the "app juggle." The app juggle occurs when you constantly need to switch between two or three different apps to accomplish one task–namely, getting to your destination. I would open up Spotcycle or Cyclefinder to find a station and bike near me. Then I would fire up Google Maps to give me walking directions to the station. Then I'd take out a bike and start riding, guided by Google Maps' turn-by-turn bike directions. When I was near my destination, I'd juggle back to Spotcycle to find a nearby station and bike there. While I often couldn't be bothered to enter another address into Google, I would constantly be checking the app to make sure I was on the right track. I then would return the bike and retrace my steps.
There are a number of problems that are brought up by this current paradigm. First, users are dependent upon using their smartphone while riding to use the system. While safety dictates that one pull over, I mostly found myself scrambling at red lights to figure out my next move. Another issue arises when Google Maps directs you to an area without bike share stations, which can result in a significant detour if you're not careful.
What bike share users really need is a 'turn-by-turn' feature integrated with bike share stations. In an ideal bike share app world, a user could just plug in their GPS location and their ending address, and the app would guide them to the nearest station with walking/transit directions. Once there, the app would offer bike directions to the station nearest their ending address, and walking directions from the station to their end point. And if the selected station fills up or goes offline, then the app could redirect the user mid-ride to another station.
Turn-by-turn directions could be offered via headphones, a bluetooth accessory (shown above), or even Google Glass, would make navigating cities by bike share significantly more user friendly. Imagine riding along and hearing the app chime in and warn you in a pleasant, Siri-like voice: "You are leaving the bike share service area. Would you like directions to the nearest station?" This is where things move from convenient to transformative.
Crowdsourcing Data
Wayfinding apps like Waze, a "community-based traffic and navigation app," utilizes user data to enhance point-to-point travel efficiency by car. Waze mines the data to discover average automobile speeds along routes and re-routes users to the quickest path to their destination. While Google Maps tells you to take the most direct route, even if it's on a bumper to bumper freeway, Waze will tell you the fastest way. For many, including myself, the app has had awesome results.
The beauty of crowdsourcing is that the more users using the app, the more effective the app's service becomes. At the time of writing, Waze has over 12,000 'Wazers' reporting data in the Los Angeles region. Waze also has a gameification scheme that rewards users with points for things like reporting traffic data and contributing to the network.
While an app like Waze finds the quickest route to avoid traffic, bike share apps could show bike share users the most bike-friendly route through the same crowdsourcing mechanism.
If you have ridden around a typical American city, you know that your route is extremely important to the comfort level of your ride. Novice cyclists often need appropriate bike infrastructure to feel safe; while a confident cyclist from out of town probably isn't aware of a bike-friendly residential street. Crowdsourcing data from riders could potentially generate the ideal route for your level of experience. There could be an "infrastructure only" option that only routes established bikeways or a "direct route" option that provides the shortest route regardless of riding conditions. And there could be a "Goldilocks" option that balances comfort and speed. For bike share users, routes that other riders took between station itineraries could be aggregated into a suggested route.
Some other useful features could be reporting of road hazards like closures and diversions that may not be reflected in the somewhat static mapping of these apps. For instance, if a route is closed to a parade, or if a bike lane was recently painted and isn't yet reflected on the map. Another surprisingly non-existent feature in the bike share app market is reporting station issues. If a bike share station isn't working properly, users could report it to the app alerting the operator to follow-up on the issue and preventing other riders from wasting their time.
Google Maps and Bike Share
It would be difficult to dispute that Google Maps is the most widely used app for mapping and wayfinding. And an important thing to consider is developing a good wayfinding app takes a considerable amount of resources to get right. Even Apple, with its billions of dollars in revenue, couldn't get it right with its Maps application. Google Maps has beaten out competitor after competitor (when's the last time you used Mapquest?) and has continually improved its product with transit, biking, and walking directions. Google also recently acquired Waze for close to $1 billion, so their crowdsourced routing will likely be making its way into Google Maps soon. So why not incorporate another improvement with bike share?
If Google were to incorporate bike share into its Maps app, we would have something very close to the perfect mobility app. And as bike share spreads to more and more cities around the globe, it's a viable and convenient transit option that would add another mode to Google's transit mix. The user could see every available option, traveling by car, by transit, or by bike share and make their choice accordingly. And with crowdsourced traffic information, users would be able to alert each other of their favorite routes and inconveniences like offline stations. This would remove many barriers to experiencing bike share and would be and instant tool to the huge userbase that rely on Google Maps.
A step in the right direction: The Social Bicycles App
The team at Social Bicycles (SoBi), a leading bike share equipment supplier, understands the power of integrating user data with bike share. Their brand is founded around creating a social network around bicycling and bike sharing. While their data platform is in early stages of development, it has already got a head start on its competition. Since the SoBi bikes have active GPS, bike route data can be collected in real time and shared throughout the app platform. And by sharing this data over an app-based social network, the SoBi product could allow for the aforementioned crowdsourced wayfinding.
Sharing routes and potential issues is baked right into the Social Bicycles platform. Users are given the option to send a Tweet or a Facebook post of their ride route to share their helpful hints. Also the SoBi app incorporates gamification, and allows users to earn badges for their rides. The recently launched Social Cyclist app ports this platform to normal cyclists, opening up their data market to all local cyclists. The aim of Social Cyclist is to "vote with your wheels" and enable DOT's to install bike lanes and bike racks where they're most needed.
While the app has a leg up on its competition, it's not quite perfect. The SoBi app has directional features between station locations, but it frustratingly redirects to Apple's Maps. The problem with this approach is that Apple's Maps doesn't include bike directions, so you'll be directed to routes that could range from bike-unfriendly or a freeway. And by outsourcing wayfinding to another app the user loses out on the potential for crowdsourced directions. Furthermore, the Social Cyclist's "vote with your wheels" function is dependent upon the user's ability to remember to launch the app and share ride information once the trip is finished. The app could instead activate automatically once the user starts moving, similar to the app Moves, a multi-modal trip tracking app.
While there isn't yet an A+ bike share app, the encouraging thing is that the market is moving in the right direction. And with the industry being so young in the U.S, some usability hiccups are to be expected. We can't wait to see what the future holds, and if you see crowdsourced bike-directions just remember that you heard it here first!

Peterborough director Barry Fry out to avoid bad repeat
BARRY FRY is hoping history does not repeat itself as he comes up against the team that caused his biggest humiliation as a boss.
Fry is director of football at Peterborough, who travel to non-league high-fliers Kidderminster today for a place in the FA Cup fourth round.
And he will never forget the day the Harriers knocked Birmingham out of the cup in 1994.
"Sometimes it's just not your day, but if we play to our best, we should get the result we want"Barry Fry
Fry was manager of the Blues at the time and said: "It was a horrible game. I'd only just taken over and we were seven points adrift at the bottom of the Championship table.
"Kidderminster were flying and were far more confident than we were.
"Birmingham had better players but confidence is a massive thing in football.
"They also had the breaks. A winger who hadn't scored in about four years beat four players and slammed one in the top corner, while we had a penalty towards the end that hit the stanchion in the high street.
"That's the sort of thing that can happen in the FA Cup. Sometimes it's just not your day, but if we play to our best, we should get the result we want."
League One Posh are pushing for promotion - but so are Kidderminster following just two home defeats in the Skrill Premier.

District network is still suffering
Wendy Chretien of Elert & Associates, a consulting company the district hired to critique its operations and efforts to restore the system, was asked to report on the virus attack.
Chretien said:
-- Backup systems were not functioning properly. She recommended a new server backup system to prevent future problems.
-- District computer maintenance staff is "very lean." Staff should have been actively monitoring and maintaining the servers, and that wasn't done.
-- "There is a fair amount of fairly old equipment out there that is just a problem waiting to happen," Chretien said.
-- Anti-virus software did not do its job. If the anti-virus was at 100 percent, that should have blocked the virus, Chretien said.
-- The different computer servers are configured in different ways.
-- The district has no disaster-recovery program.
-- Some systems are not documented, so the only knowledge of them resides "in people's heads."
Chretien did not lay blame for any of these problems. She also did not mention any of the costs of bringing the system up to date.
Chretien said the virus probably came in through an employee's computer, but just who and where has not been discovered.
What is known is that the virus did its damage in about 90 minutes when it attacked Sept. 19.
The result included massive problems for many teachers, students and other staff members, who couldn't access stored information, couldn't update student's grades and couldn't use software applications.
"It just shot through the district," Chretien said.
Most applications were damaged, she said.
Chretien said the virus could have harmed the student information system, financial information and other vital, confidential information, but "the quick actions on the part of one staff member" saved that information.
Brandon Keirns, the district's information technology manager, said after the meeting that all the IT staff members did their parts, but the one who saved that vital information Chretien mentioned was Barrett Jacobsen, a computer technician who was hired this year.
Bunton said he has no doubt the computer system would come out of this episode much stronger.
Chretien said few problems remain to be addressed, and she guessed the system now is about 90 percent repaired. She estimated another month before it's at 100 percent.
Board member Peter Severson gently suggested the district did not communicate well with staff about the problems in the initial weeks, causing frustrations. He said he hoped that the current communications�which include regular districtwide memos�will become a model when dealing with future problems.
Board president DuWayne Severson said he wanted to see a written plan for upgrading the system.

I am redoing my home office. It has been an interesting adventure. First of all, there are no books out there that share ideas about home offices. Some 55 percent of Americans have an office in their home, yet there is little written about the subject. (This might be my next book!)
I found a few home decorating books that had two or three pages dedicated to this subject, but that was it. So I forged ahead. I walked through stores to get some ideas, then I went to furniture stores and talked with builders. Things started coming together. Incorporated in my room there will be a window seat. Not a small one, but 81 inches long and 18 inches wide.
To pull all the colors together I needed the perfect piece of fabric. I love the earth tones, golds, browns, blacks, tans, etc. On this particular day I decided to go in and look for that special piece of fabric.
At the factory outlet store here I found row after row of fabrics that are on rollers and fabric that is sold as pieces. As I turned the corner of one of the aisles, there it was. The perfect piece of fabric. All the colors I had hoped for.
Before I cover a piece of foam with the fabric, here are some hints. Spray the foam with spray glue and then cover with poly wrap. The foam should be cut 1/2 inch smaller than the area so it will fit snug but not bow. Make the fabric opening for the foam very large or you won't be able to tuck the foam into the cover.
I laid the piece of fabric by the window and stood back and looked at the overall effect. I went to another room for a moment and came back and four of my cats were sitting on the gorgeous plaid. That made the decision easy. If the cats love it, then I love it.
I would love to hear from those of you who have a home office.
Please share some of your tips and ideas. Let's open up a dialogue on this and learn from each other. (Who knows, you might be in my next Krause Publication book) (firstname.lastname@example.com).

Austin's annual FronteraFest, now in its 17th year, is prime hunting ground for Shakespeare rethinks. The festival, anchored at the venerable and edgy Hyde Park Theatre, is currently staging 80 short pieces of 25 minutes or less and 20 longer presentations of up to 90 minutes. Last year we got Kill Will, a literary quest done in the style of Mickey Spillane. This year the audiences in Austin, Texas have the opportunity for an exploration of the back-story of Macbeth, as a cast from Texas State University in nearby San Marcos puts on Lady M, written by graduate student Melissa Smith-Rodriguez.
The piece explores the darkness of Scotland's pre-history, feudal customs, and the perceived enigma of character of the leading woman in Shakespeare's Macbeth. This play is not an exculpation of Macbeth's unnamed lady; rather, it is the creation of a fictional history explaining the woman's cold, fierce and ambitious nature.
As a mantra and element of foreshadow, the playwright evokes the dark night of Act 2, scene 2 with Lady Macbeth's feverish words,
"Had he not resembled / My father as he slept, I had done't."
Ours is an age of prequels—to use that nasty twentieth century neologism made popular by George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola—and most of them have motivations that are crassly commercial. In contrast, Smith-Rodriguez's Lady M is a serious and respectful piece, providing a credible back-story.
Recorded Scottish history was no great help, as the playwright notes in the program. Looking back to early eleventh century Scotland, Gruoch ingen Boite, who later became queen to Macbeth, was first married to a nobleman, Gilla Coemgain, who died along with fifty of his followers when a hall caught fire. The cause of the conflagration is unknown. Macbeth later married Gruoch, probably a cousin, and they ruled in peace for many years.
The playwright focuses on the young Gruoch, mother of an infant daughter, and supposes that Gruoch's father, Boite, was scheming to clear his own way to assume the crown of Scotland. Their kinsman, the young Macbeth, thirsts for vengeance for the murder of close family members by unknown hands. The arrogant and duplicitous Boite informs Macbeth that Gruoch's husband was responsible and persuades Macbeth to set the fire that kills Coemgain and his followers.
As soon as he communicates the news of the murder, Boite tells his daughter that she must marry Macbeth.
This vigorous intrigue puts Gruoch in a dilemma. She owes obedience to her father but she is confused and grief-stricken. Gruoch temporizes, throwing Boite into a rage. With the assistance of her serving woman Ceana, Gruoch consults a village woman known for clairvoyance and gets some very bad news. Suffering and blood are in her future.
Women are the visible victims in this piece. Boite takes murderous revenge when he learns through a guileless Macbeth that the women are planning to flee the castle.
Boite is a monster, but Smith-Rodriguez is relatively gentle with the other male characters of the piece. She paints Gruoch's first husband, Gilla (Wesley Riddle), as understanding and kind, perhaps inexplicably so in the opinion of his young wife.
Wesley Scott Crump as Macbeth comes across as sincere but clueless, ready to be led by the nose. He fails to question Boite's assertions, and after his mass murder by arson he expresses no doubt or remorse. Neither Macbeth nor anyone else makes much of the cowardly crime, and Macbeth's responsibility is never revealed. Curiously, Macbeth approaches Gruoch with the respect and delicacy of a teenager come a-courting, quietly willing to wait until she's ready to consider the match.
The text is written in acceptable blank verse, with an occasional apt metaphor but no attempt to rival Shakespeare in eloquence or depth of concept. Some linguistic anachronisms creep in. For example, "to realize," according to the Oxford English Dictionary, acquired its current popular meaning late in the 18th century and was "in early use chiefly American, and frequently condemned as such by English writers about the middle of the 19th century." I'm doubtful about the phrase "power-hungry barons," but cannot muster any etymological evidence against it other than the fact that my old OED offers as relevant compound examples only "power-seeking" and "power-usurping."
These are just fun quibbles, though, because with her attention to language, energetic plotting, and her vivid portrayal of Gruoch's anguish, Smith-Rodriguez provides a credible story situated in a world remarkably like that portrayed on Shakespeare's stage. The cast and director Matthew Braylon Haynes, all associated with Texas State University, serve this vision well.
Rob Novak as Boite has a doughty presence and an adamantine deluded will to power. The playwright provides the character with an appropriate comeuppance as Gruoch escapes from him by marrying Macbeth.
Brittany Flurry as the serving woman and Melissa King-Knowles as the seer are foils to the future Lady Macbeth, who becomes terribly isolated when they are removed.
But the roses go to Katie Townsend, playing Gruoch, the future Lady M. She must move from relative innocence and subservience, through pain and bewilderment, to resolve, all in a relatively short period of stage time. Townsend's virtue is that she does not overplay any of this. For her final scene, she kneels at a railing immediately before the audience. She looks out in a vision or delirium and calls on those who have perished. We understand her loss and watch as her soul ices over. The lights go down, and in the blackness, Gruoch picks up her flickering candle and blows it out.
Lady M runs January 19, 23, 25 and 28, 2010 at FronteraFest at Salvage Vanguard Theatre, 2803 Manor Road, Austin, TX 78722. Information can be found at http://www.theatreanddance.txstate.edu/productions/2009-2010/LadyM.html.

A radical Muslim sect has claimed responsibility for the Christmas Eve bombings and church attacks in Nigeria that killed at least 38 people, and the group threatened new attacks to avenge local violence against Muslims.
Religious fighting has left more than 500 people dead this year in the deeply divided region where Jos is located. Authorities had already blamed the Boko Haram group for some of the deaths Friday, but the online statement attributed to the group was the first solid connection between the violence in two cities.
"Therefore we will continue with our attacks on disbelievers and their allies and all those who help them," the statement said.
It was not immediately possible to contact members of the sect, which had not previously used the website where the statement appeared. The head of national police Yemi Ajayi also said Tuesday that authorities were still investigating.
Two bombs went off near a large market in Jos where people were doing last-minute Christmas shopping Friday. A third hit a mainly Christian area of Jos, while the fourth was near a road that leads to the city's main mosque.
Officials initially said at least 32 died from the blasts, and police have not updated that figure publicly.
An official with the National Emergency Management Agency told journalists that he had counted 80 deaths, but the regional NEMA coordinator said only three hospitals were visited. It was not verified whether the patients counted were in fact blast victims, said the regional NEMA coordinator, Alhassan Aliyu Danjuma.
That same day, two churches were attacked in the northern city of Maiduguri about 320 miles (520 kilometers) away, killing at least six people. Nigerian authorities blamed Boko Haram, and said a Baptist pastor and two choir members preparing for a late-night carol service were among the victims.
The radical Muslim sect is also known by a much longer Arabic name, which means "the organization of followers of the teachings of Prophet Muhammad and champions of Islam and holy wars."
It was thought to be vanquished in 2009 after Nigeria's military crushed its mosque into concrete shards, and its leader was arrested and died in police custody.
But now, a year later, Maiduguri and surrounding villages again live in fear of the group, whose members have assassinated police and local leaders and engineered a massive prison break, officials say. Western diplomats worry that the sect is catching the attention of al-Qaida's North Africa branch.
While religious violence in the central city of Jos and neighboring towns and villages has claimed more than 500 lives this year, the fighting has not typically been linked to Boko Haram.
Nigeria, a country of 150 million people, is almost evenly split between Muslims in the north and the predominantly Christian south. Jos is in the nation's "middle belt," where dozens of ethnic groups vie for control of fertile lands.
The Jos violence, though fractured across religious lines, often has more to do with local politics, economics and rights to grazing lands. The government of Plateau state, where Jos is the capital, is controlled by Christian politicians who have blocked Muslims from being legally recognized as citizens. That has locked many out of prized government jobs in a region where the tourism industry and tin mining have collapsed in the last decades.
Associated Press Writer Njadvara Musa contributed from Maiduguri, Nigeria.

Eucalyptus Oil
Definition: Eucalyptus Oil
When I think of eucalyptus, the image of koalas munching these leaves in the wild immediately pops into my head. However, the plant's medicinal properties can be traced back to Aboriginal people of Australia who used it as a remedy for skin problems and respiratory ailments – pretty similar to the uses today.
Eucalyptus essential oil comes from the steam distillation of the tree's leaves and branches. It actually takes over 100 pounds of the plant material to make just two pounds of oil! The resulting active ingredient of eucalyptol relieves muscle and joint pain (like in Huiles Essentielles Stress Relieving Massage Oil), cools and invigorates (especially combined with Spearmint or Rosemary), and even functions as a sunburn soother or insect repellent (Eucalyptus Towelettes).
While the aroma is strong on its own, it's often diluted and mixed with complementary earthy scents, such as pine, for perfumes as well.
