Iowan Congressional Candidate Takes First Step In NRCC's 'Young Guns' Program
WASHINGTON – Today, the National Republican Congressional Committee announced that Dr. Mariannette Miller-Meeks has been elevated to 'On the Radar' in the NRCC's 'Young Guns' program. The program will help to provide candidates and their campaigns the tools they need to run effective, successful and winning campaigns against their Democratic opponents. Originally founded in the 2007-2008 election cycle by Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), Majority Whip Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Budget Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), the Young Guns program supports and mentors challenger and open-seat candidates in races across the country. Miller-Meeks is running in Iowa's 2nd Congressional District.
"I am confident that Dr. Mariannette Miller-Meeks will be a successful and dedicated member of this program and that she will continue to work hard to reach the crucial campaign benchmarks that have been established ahead of the 2014 elections," said NRCC Chairman Greg Walden. "Iowa's hardworking families deserve better than skyrocketing health care costs, financial instability and mountains of debt on their backs. I am certain that Mariannette will be a strong contender this election cycle."
Dr. Mariannette Miller-Meeks is an ophthalmologist who most recently served for three years as the Director of the Iowa Department of Public Health. During her tenure, she showed passion for improving the healthcare and quality of life for Iowans. Dr. Miller-Meeks learned that a lot can be accomplished by putting partisanship aside for the greater good of the people of Iowa. Dr. Miller-Meeks enlisted in the United States Army at age 18 and retired honorably from the reserves as a Lt. Colonel. During those 24 years, active duty and reserve, she served as a private, nurse, and physician. She was the first female faculty member in the Department of Ophthalmology at the University of Iowa. During her time, Dr. Miller-Meeks authored numerous articles, presented national lectures and research, awarded the Charles Phelps Award in 1995 and received accolades as one of the country's best doctors. Additionally, she was inaugurated as the first female president of the Iowa Medical Society in 2006. She and her husband, Curt, live in Ottumwa. They have two grown children, Jonathon and Taylor.

About Me
Hello! My name is Zula, actually I go by quite a few names but that is the one that has always stuck (hence my IGN). I'm a challenger player who mains both ADC and Jungle, however my Top/Mid/Support excel far above your average player as well.
But before we get into all of that here is my Current Rank
I've been playing League for about 4 years and hoping to one day become a professional LCS player but as of now I am attending university in Hawaii as a Bio Chemistry student. When I'm not too caught up in my school work (such as the summer months) I enjoy playing games, and it's become not only a passion of mine, but a way to connect and build new friends and relationships. So I would like to give back to the community that I've spent so long with and offer guidance on how to become a better player of League of Legends. So I hope you enjoy, learn, and put into action everything in this guide, as these are the ways I've found to lead to pure success in my League of Legends career.
Kindred is an extremely versatile champion in solo queue, especially in the jungle (tested from Gold to Diamond in 2 days, Kindred Only, as long as she (Yes I Kindred is referred to as them, but She is just easier) wasn't banned). The fact that she is rarely played correctly, means your opponents won't be expecting the game-altering plays you'll be making.
In all seriousness, a well played Kindred is more than capable of stomping solo queue, even at the highest of elos; I played my Kindred jungle vs many pros, top streamers, and other challenger players, and Kindred is one of the most contested for champions at that rank.
There are three main reasons for Kindred jungle to be able to compete at this level:
1. Her clear time is among the fastest in any jungler ( especially late game ) due to her mobility.
2. She can not be juked and has crazy good ganks with her skill set combo that other junglers don't have (the range... oooh the range!) and easily tower diveable ganks with her R
3. Her sustain in the jungle is plentiful, with the new Wolf's Frenzy you hardly get touched when you kite well, kiting used to be harder but since you now have an enormous slow on all large monsters (not dragon/RH/baron) you can just easily dance away from them.
After the consistent nerfs Kindred is still stronger than most people think and extremely fun due to her unique play style, mobility, and range (unlike almost any other jungler).
Oh, and if you're looking for a champion to get out of "Elo hell" with, Kindred will be the one. One of my smurfs, which I played on to test out how hard it really is to get out of "Elo Hell." Was ending games 17-20 mins every single game. Enemy team was just wowed.
What exactly does Kindred Do?
Kindred is a mobile, high-damage output, ranged jungler. Her early game ganks are among the best in the game and can have devastating effects on the enemy teams morale and influence on the game. Her spells are meant to keep her alive while still doing a massive amount of damage, there is rarely a game where I do not top the damage charts.
|+ Fast Clear Times
+ Physical Burst / Sustained DPS
+ Ability to Jump through walls and around enemy players
+ Highly effective ganks
|Kindred has outplay potential and huge synergy with Skirmisher's Sabre - Bloodrazor and Blade of the Ruined King. These two items are Kindred's first two items and for good reason. They give her a much faster jungle clear time, do crazy AoE damage when both are used, and allows her to trade well with both champions, or if she is looking to go solo dragon, and the active has obvious benefits
|- Fairly Low Auto Attack Range
- Situational Ultimate can throw games
- Weak Early Game (Comparability)
|Kindred is a weak early game jungler. She can duel and kill the enemy jungle, early on in the game, but it's difficult to do so. She is a very high skill cap champion. Game knowledge is a huge part of playing Kindred, as the more you know the more you'll be able to outplay and plan out your maneuvers. Her skills allow her to do some incredible things, but at the same time can completely throw a teamfight and quite possibly a game. If you put yourself in a terrible position with your Q, waste your E, or worst of all save the entire enemy team with your ult (don't worry it happens sometimes xD) then you will be putting a lot of stress on your team. But that's okay, thats why we're here and I want to teach you exactly how to avoid those situations!
Mark of the Kindred
Kindred's Passive is the absolute definition of who she is, there are two ways to get your marks.
|By Champion
In order to get kindred marks, you're going to want to be able to manipulate the time it take for the mark to become activated as well as the mind game of "fear" the enemy faces when you mark them. When you're going for a gank, what you want to do is mark them approx. 2 seconds before they gain vision of you, that way by the time they realize they are marked, you're going to be damn near in their face. And if you manage to get the kill (which you should be able to if you're going for the gank!) it should be activated by the time they die. This takes practice, because if you do it too early they will just run to their tower because you marked them. Do it too late and they will die before the mark goes off (probably by 0.1 second knowing our luck xD).
Another thing to keep in mind is when ganking phase is over, and team fights start occurring, do not forget to get your marks off! Even if you kill somebody and your mark CD comes off, make sure you get the next mark off ASAP. I will go deeper into this in a later chapter but for now this is a good start.
|By Enemy Jungle
[The other way to get your marks is (you guessed it) by the camps in the enemy jungle (WAIT ZULA DON'T FORGET ABOUT SCUTTLE…shuddup). The marks are semi-random. Semi meaning that for marks 0-2 can be on scuttles and raptors, 3-4 large monsters (excluding buffs), 5-7 buffs or epic monsters, and 7+ is only Baron. To make these even less random you can keep track of which monsters are dead and alive through the use of wards (omgosh wards? Scary) So this means you're going to want to be warding the enemy jungle if not only for the fact that you can then tell where your next mark will be as the mark will only activate on camps that are alive (even if they are at half HP).

KindredComing Soon
Dance of Arrows
Dance of Arrows Is Kindred's signature move. Since it is her spam ability and also the ability that does the most sustain damage for her, it is the one you max first for shorter cooldown and max potential damage. I don't know about you, but one of the most annoying things to me is when I'm playing a champion that can't go through walls, and then I see the enemy with 5% HP dash through a wall! No problem here, as Kindred can hop through many walls with this amazing spell! When cast inside of Wolf's Frenzy the Cool Down is significantly reduced. At low levels, this ability has quite a long CD and will not be quite as spammable, which is why she is a weak early game jungler. I suggest not invading or doing lvl 2 ganks until you fully understand Kindred, since this is such a crucial part of her kit.
When using this spell offensively there are a few things you're going to want to look out for. You want to make sure you're not putting yourself in a bad position by jumping to a location that you can't get out of. At the same time you want to position yourself to where you stay inside your Wolf's Frenzy so that you can maintain your W's passive. One thing I've noticed when I give my students lessons on Kindred, is when they are ganking, they tend to use this spell in the direction of the enemy champion instead of the escape route of the enemy champion. There are times where you need to be moving towards the enemy champions escape route as this is the best way to secure the kill. Your Q is going to prioritize champions so don't worry about it not hitting champions in a lot of minions. Lastly when using offensively, try to remember that it is still your only real escape, so be aware of when you may need it to get out of a tough spot
This is not only your best offensive move, but debatably your best defensive move as well (but Zula what about my ult? or my slow?) Well your Q is what allows you to escape from enemies during both your ult and slow! With that being said, you should be using this skill in combination to your other skills for best results. Hopefully by now you understand that if your Wolf's Frenzy is up you should be using it to lower the cool down of your Q. When escaping an enemy you can jump through small walls, to do this click as close to you can to the wall without going over it, place your cursor over the wall after, and once you step as close as you can to the wall, press Q! (No Pressure xD). But your Q isn't only defensive for escaping. You should be micro managing the team fight if at all possible (it's always possible) and dodging skills with your Q. This is where that game knowledge I was talking about earlier comes into play, because the better you know or gradually guess when the enemy is going to use their skill shot, the better chance you have of dodging it. You really want to press your Q before they press their spell "because reaction time isn't reliable but your brain is." So once you begin to be able to predict when enemies aregoing to use their spells, this, as well as all of your gameplay will be much more smooth and effective.
Wolf's Frenzy
Wolf's Frenzy is a pretty simple ability, because really it's all passive and you just have to stay inside of the circle. The complicated part of it is using it in the best possible position. Which is the area that you're going to be fighting while still being slightly in your escape area so that you can still escape if necessary.
KindredLike I said earlier, this is a pretty simple ability, so it's simple to understand how to use it offensively. You want to combine (just as all your spells) the use of your W with your other spells to maximize your full potential. That means you're going to want to launch your E, Mounting Dread, and your Q to get you in the best possible position before you lay down your W, that way you can maximize the time that wolf does damage and be able to stay inside your W to get the reduce CD for your Dance of Arrows. Another tip I love to give my students when coaching them is using the W to tower dive and do damage without actually tower diving. Since Wolf can't die or take damage, you can position your W to deal damage to get those last few hits without taking the tower agro, it is a great little tip that very few Kindred players take advantage of. Another tip is to use it right before you get stunned. Since Wolf can't be stunned, you will continue to do damage while you are stunned and then can come out with a reduced CD Q.
Using W defensively is more of an advance Kindred tactic. It's not necessarily harder, but you want to make sure you only do it in the correct situations, because it is still usually more useful used offensively ( I didn't confuse you did I?) The tip I gave in the offensive column is somewhat of a defensive trait as well. But other than that there are many times that may come up to put this spell on your defensive side. Such as when you're trying to save a teammate but have very little health or mana to do so, drop down your W to "push" the enemy team away by scaring them. It's almost like a warning shot because it seems as you are going to go in. The most obvious form of defensive however comes when jungling. You want to really use Wolf's Frenzy to kite the jungle camps so you can stay as topped off as possible. Combine it with your Q and you will hardly get touched. The best way to do it is to kite semi circles around the camp. Early game you may get hit once or twice but late game they will probably die before you even move.
Mounting Dread
I love this ability. It brings so much joy to my life! If I were an ability I would marry this ability (I'd probably end up cheating on it with Kayle's Ult) (Okay that's enough Zula) Fine Fine. Jeez. But seriously, this ability is great, I max it second for the increase damage and lowered CD. The Slow and execute are huge and I get more peoples flashes with this skill alone than an Annie with her stun/tibbers up. Lets get to it!
This spell is your main course when it comes to ganking. You will be getting it off as practically your first spell. The way I do it is Q > E > Auto Attack > W that way I maximize my time frames by getting the slow into an auto attack and then having Wolf do his damage.
Coming Soon
Runes / Masteries / Summoner Spells
Runes make the world of difference for Kindred!
Marks: I take 8 attack damage marks because you want to have the additional damage on your first clear, some people argue that Armor Pen marks would be more effective for the late game, but you take a risk with that because you end up getting rolled over in the early game by your jungle, and the enemy jungler can come in and sweep you off your feet. And we all know how our laners never like to come help out their jungler :).
I take the 1% Crit Chance 100% of the time! Roll the dice baby!
Seals: Armor and Scaling Health seals because without these you'll have a hard time having good sustain in your jungle. Try to keep in mind that Kindred is extremely squishy which is why Riot gave her such a mobile and versatile kit. You will want to combine these runes with more the defensive items I give in my build to make sure you're staying alive and doing godly damage at the same time!
Glyph: I suggest taking 9 flat Magic Resistance runes here for even more defensive. You will notice as you play kindred that you will be the main focus, all the time, and every time.
Quintessence: 3 Attack Speed Quints to get your Auto Attacks off even faster. Late game and early game these runes will help you tremendously, I would say out of the 4 different types of runes, these are going to be your most beneficial.
The best masteries right now are 12/0/18 for Kindred. There is no real reason to get any in the Cunning tree since the defensive qualities plus Insight are better than anything that the cunning tree has to offer in the first 4 tiers. Strength of the Ages synergies extremely well with our build as well, as we essentially are trying to do as much damage as possible before dying or even having to pop our ult.
Haha hopefully I don't have to go into extensive detail about this for anyone, cause if I do I might lose hope in humanity xD Get Smite and Flash Nuff said... ohhh and put Flash on F otherwise I'll probably judge you. ;)
| Hunter's Machete is my go to item over Hunter's Talisman for a few good reasons.
| Berserker's Greaves are an amazing first item to start. If you've played Kindred before (or League for that matter) you know one of the most frustrating things is watching the enemy get away with almost no health by the skin of their teeth because you were just a little too slow.
Well, we're going to minimize that happening as much as possible by orb walking and being just overall faster than they are. Not only do the boots help you immediately for ganks, but they also help you get to your marks quicker, which early game is extremely important because you'll be beating the enemy jungler to your marks by just a few seconds which is all the time you are going to need. So grab these before you even start building into your jungle item (outside of your first buy). Make sure you have 1100 Gold before you back and if you have more then you're free to start finishing your jungle item!
| Skirmisher's Sabre - Bloodrazoris definitely bae, I really do love this item. It provides you with practically everything you need all in one item. Sustain? Check. Damage? Check. Defenses? Check. This item is great for dueling, so once I get it (especially if I get it quickly meaning I'm ahead) I start counter jungling a LOT. It helps tremendously in duels with enemy junglers with the smite passive (which combined with red secures sooo many kills).
Occasionally I'll get the question why I don't take Skirmisher's Sabre - Warrior. The answer is pretty obvious. The way the games are being played out now, going into late game and all. There would never be a situation I would want to take Warrior's. So just trust me on this, and all the other top kindred players around the world!
|Okay so here's the deal, Runaan's Hurricane is a beast of an item. Not only that, but it is also probably the most user friendly item in the game. Remember playing First Person Shooters when we were younger with our friends? And we used to always get pissed off because one person would take a small machine and SPRAY AND PRAY? Well welcome back to your fond childhood (Or possibly current xD) memories! Hurricane is going to provide you with: Wave Clear, Attack Speed, AoE damage in team fights, proccing your passive and on hit bonuses from The Black Cleaver and possibly Blade of the Ruined King so with all that being said. Get this item if you're looking to open up the charts at the end of the game and see you doing 2x more than anyone else in the game!
|"With great tankiness comes great Magic Resistance" (Unless they have no AP Dealers, THEN GO BALLS DEEP WITH BotRK!) Haha just a quote to remember. But seriously if we're going to be getting tanky we're going to need some Magic Resistance, and with Kindred, you really have one main course item for that!
First up to bat is Maw of Malmortius I get this item probably about eh, I'd say 90% of my games. Why? Because it's simple. It provides you with a very easy to use Magic Resistance item because once you build it you just store it away. The shield helps save your life which is extremely useful as kindred because, if you're going against a mage with High Burst that you can't really see coming; for instance let's say our little pyromaniac, Annie. She could be hiding in a bush and in an instance flash out at you to land a full combo in almost a blink of an eye. Well, with this item you're not going to die unless your mid lane thought he was a cat with 9 lives.... or 15 for that matter. Especially since you got Dead Man's Plate and have that additional 500 HP. Another reason I choose to get this item frequently is because it provides you with some good offensive qualities as well. The stats plus the lifegrip proc helps to get you back to where you need to be. When you have life grip your life steal will be massive and each auto attack is going to heal like crazy, try to avoid popping your Ult prematurely because then you may not be able to heal yourself through it (considering you pop it when you're at 10%).
Similar to our jungle item, Blade of the Ruined King provides us with so much good stuff for our kit. The passive alone is like having 5 extra stacks (excluding the stats). And the active is huge! It gives us the ability to kite while taking and stealing a large chunk of our targets health. The slow is also huge for not only kiting, but chasing as well.
Haha okay just kidding just kidding. Seriously though this item gives you an immense amount of damage. The passive synergizes perfectly with your Runaan's Hurricane. The speed boost makes team fights a breeze in terms of kiting and dodging. That's great and all, but the real kicker with this item is the health and CDR it gives you. The health is a defensive quality that you will see (if it's your first time taking Black Cleaver) makes the world of difference. And CDR is always both an offensive and defensive quality that you will always love to have more of!
The only real time I go Lord Dominik's Regards is when they have 3+ tanks and they are all pretty weak tanks at that, otherwise The Black Cleaver will get the job done and more!
|Probably the most cost efficient item in the game. This item brings tears to the enemy when they see you with it. Why? Because not only do they have to kill you once, they have to kill you twice, wait no THREE TIMES! (Counting your ult as a life haha) It gives you bonus MR and Armor that makes you tankier, and the additional life pretty much takes away the one thing that can counter Kindred. Burst. Which is why I build tanky in the first place. Once you have this item Kindred becomes one of the highest win rate champs in the game. At least for me.
|Easily my go-to item when it comes to practically any jungler. It provides you with vision of enemy champions when you don't have sight of them (obviously, you can't click them but you know they are there) It takes out wards so you'll have an easier time ganking and getting objectives. Probably best used on junglers as you will have the most map presence. Once you get used to using it in key spots ( I will add some key spots to a map later for everyone to see :) then you'll actually be gaining quite a bit of gold from it too!
I think of jungling as a 6 step approach. First you Start off with your First Clear, meaning before you gank (this is your Brainless Clear at the start of the game of ALMOST ... Notice how I said almost... every game), then we move on to your first gank (Possibly your most important play of the game), General Ganking (How/When/Why to Gank), Farming (Maintaining CS, Getting Gold and Experience through jungle monsters), Counter Jungling (Making the enemy Jungler hate his/her life, PS if it's a girl take it a Little easy on her, but not too easy if you know what I mean ;) ), and Objectives (Dragons, Towers, Inhibs, etc. etc.). Those are the 6 main focuses of Jungling, let's see how we implement all of the 6 steps into our game-play.
Your first clear is going to be pretty easy. Let's take it step by step. First, go to your bottom jungle (yeah the one where your bot lane starts), smite it, right when it appears so that you get the buff immediately, then after you and your bot lane get the bottom camp, go straight to the closest buff. Obviously, this is where you're going to be putting into practice most of your jungle kiting. So begin with an auto attack and getting your spells off as soon as they come off Cool Down. This way you'll maximize damage and kiting potential. To kite you're going to want to kite backward first, while still auto attack, and casting spells as much as possible, while also moving backward. Tip: I use the attack to move click function to kite monsters and kiting when dueling other junglers.. Make sure the buff doesn't reset however when kiting it away from you, so keep an eye on its patience meter. After you get your first buff, move onto your second buff, complete your bread N Butter Kiting technique on the second buff. Next, look at your Mark of the Kindred position on the map. It will be on either one of the scuttle crabs or the enemy wraiths, if it's on the scuttle directly by your 2nd buff, go get it. If it's on the enemy wraiths then decide whether or not it's safe to get them (Is the enemy jungler a weak early game champion? Get it. Is my mid lane pushed to their mid tower? Yes. Get it. If the answer is no to these questions chances are the first mark isn't worth the risk), and if it's on the other scuttle, try to prioritize it by prioritizing your first gank on either mid or bot. Considering your good with your mark, it's time for the first gank!
Your first clear went smoothly so it's time for some serious action taking steps in terms of making the enemy surrender! This is why I consider the first gank to be one of , if not the most important play of the game. Because it can really set the tone for the game. Before we get into where to gank let's find out how.
When going for a gank you need to be aware of everything happening in the game, where is everyone located in the game? Is my health bar something to consider? Do they have a lot of early game champions that I should avoid? Try to make an educated guess about where the enemy jungler is. Is he in his jungle farming? Is he about to go for a gank? IS HE ALREADY GANKING OMGOSH GO COUNTER GANK!? haha, don't panic! There's a lot to consider, but take it slow, and remember that it's only possibly the most important play of the game (but not absolutely :)
So let's say you decide you want to gank, well how? I suggest trying the simple combination of Q E AA W AA Q AA Q AA, if you can get this full combo off you're almost for sure going to get the kill, but it's ok if you don't get the last auto attack off, just try your hardest to get at least that far. Another tip is to Ping the living hell out of your lane before you go in. Let him know you're on your way and that you're out for blood! Now let's see which lane to pick. You have three options when it comes to the first gank: Mid, Top, Bot
I'll start with the most likely of the three, top lane. There are two ways to know if you should gank top. One, if your mark was at the scuttle beneath you (very common) and your laner is in a position to gank for. This means that the enemy lane is not pushed into tower, and is either at or past the middle of the lane (you'll need about this much room to secure the kill) If you have a top laner with a stun then your likelihood of ganking for him skyrockets (think of a Renekton). There, however, is one exception to this rule. If your lane IS pushing to the enemy tower, and they have an early game ganker (lee sin?) then skip your Mark, and sit in the bush in the river, or tri bush, to counter gank your opponent. However, let your laner know this is your plan otherwise that blind man might just take your buffs as a trophy.
Ganking mid lane is the next most likely option. The reason for this is similar to that of the top lane. Stuns/Pushed or Pushing/Gankable. Do not gank a mid lane that has a huge escape (zed, Le blanc, etc.) because you'll just waste your time and more than likely your passive. When ganking mid lane go behind the enemy, DO NOT GO THROUGH THE RIVER BUSH BECAUSE IT IS THE MOST LIKELY TO BE WARDED AND YOU WON'T HAVE ENOUGH SPACE TO KILL THE ENEMY. Which brings me to another point, you will need more space than normal to kill a mid laner (since you need to get your E and at least 3 auto attacks off to secure that kill probably). So don't be afraid to pass up on mid lane and go get marks and/or continue to farm, because forcing a gank is a lot worse than continuing to farm.
General ganking requires a much similar thought process to your first gank (which is why I choose to write about it first) because you'll be processing all of the information from your first gank, but instead of worrying about early game champions, think about where the game is and then plan accordingly.
Farming is simple with Kindred, it's like mini versions of your first clear, you want to be kiting the jungle camps using the strategy from above to farm. Make sure if you plan on backing soon, never leave the jungle before it is completely cleared (Unless it is unsafe to do so). A general rule of thumb is to try to keep your farm to as close to your mid laners. You can do it, and it gets easier as the game goes since you get your items. Also if your laner dies, go cover his lane and take his farm, and if you get a kill when ganking for your laner, tax a few minions, He might get mad but hey... Who's really carrying this game? ;)
Counter Jungling is huge as Kindred. Obviously, this is how you're going to get the majority of your marks. Realize though that there will be some games when you counter gank more than others. Do not fall into the trap of being either a super counter jungling player all the time, or never counter jungling at all. Be random in your counter jungling. Don't always go for the same place, and don't always go for your mark. Remember, the enemy can see where your mark is as well so they will be anticipating you. So if they go to your mark, what can you do? Go take their jungle on the other side of your mark.
However, if you know they are across the map and you see your mark just sitting there all lonely, then go take it and be on your way. The next step after getting your mark should primarily be ganking since you are behind the enemy, but if no lanes are gankable, then go get an objective, or continue farming, or back and get items! Don't ever waste time :)
Mainly what I see differs in every rank severely is objective control. Listen, you want these objectives. They win you the game. Period. My thought process of objective importance goes First Tower > Dragon (except flame dragon), Dragon > Towers, Rift Herald > Dragon (except flame), Inhib > Tower, Baron>Inhib. Remember too, RIFT HERALD, DRAGONS, AND BARONS all give Mark of the Kindred stacks depending on the interval. (Read the spell if you need to know the intervals) So use this to your advantage (PS an objective that has a mark on it DOUBLES, NO QUADRUPLES in importance). Okay, now with that being said. Another tip is that you can get dragon's by yourself undetected once you get your Red Trinket and Blade of the Ruined King. Use this knowledge to your advantage and make sure you get those objectives!

We are in the midst of a storm right now. I took Theo to get his shot and he did well. Barely even blinked an eye. We had a really nice nurse too.
Theo really liked the bus ride - lots of stuff and people to look at. Sitting in the waiting room really made me happy to be healthy.

The 2017 Nobile Infinity Split Foil boards location of the hydrofoil mounting, an increased rigidity and properly adjusted strap positions – everything was fit together in order to fully control the board's behavior and make the ride comfortable. The 2017 Nobile Infinity Split Foil shape was worked out in such way to allow the wave riding and enjoy the fun of it. The 2017 Nobile Infinity Split Foil board is adapted for every hydrofoil with M6 screw mounting and mounting spacing 165×90 mm.
The 2017 Nobile Infinity Split Foil is also compatible with fins mounted in FCS system. This year Nobile introduced the third generation of the W-Connection patented solution. It is the result of many months of R&D by the department engineers at Nobile Sports and the improved connection has been redesigned from scratch. Some of the connection's constructional elements have been reduced, while others have been replaced with durable composite. This has resulted in reduced weight, improved stiffness and durability for the Infinity Split Foil. The 2017 Nobile Infinity Split Foil has a very thin core which lets you put your feet very close to the water and, as a result, facilitates steering and board feeling. The 2017 Nobile Infinity Split Foils deck is covered with EVA foam, ensuring comfort and keeping your feet in the right position. Thanks to the use of Concave, the 2017 Nobile Infinity Split Foil is maneuverable and has very good carving abilities.
Weight 3.25 KG
Fuselage Length (cm): 64 - The Fuselage is made of Aluminum-Carbon used in aviation industry. Milled and turned in lab conditions on CNC machines. Carefully selected cross sections and well-designed slots securing wings and mast minimize resistance, while increasing durability and rigidity of connection with other components. The keel is anodized in order to protect it against the salt water.
Mast Length (cm): 60 | 86 | 96 - The aluminium mast is extruded from the material used in the aviation industry. It is extremely light and stiff to the maximum. Thanks to the non-drag profile, it has very low resistance in the water.
It's a pivotal point of the whole construction, connecting the hydrofoil with the board. Made of high-quality aluminum to make it super-stable and maximally durable.
All-round (beginner): surface – 815 cm2 | span – 55 cm | Aspect – 3,7.
Freeride: surface 835cm2 | span – 59,5cm |Aspect: – 4,2.
Race: surface – 528 cm2 | span – 60cm | Aspect – 6,8.
Wings are built of ultra-durable and stiff G10 composite milled with the use of super-precise CNC machines and polished to minimize the water resistance. The back flap is universal for both wings.
All-round wing - Extremely stabile and easy to control. It gains lift quickly which makes it useful also for the beginners. Optimized for medium and high speed.
Freeride - Fitted surface parameters and used profiles provide a freedom of moves in wide spectrum of weather conditions.
Race - Thanks to the high aspect ration the resistance is reduced to the absolute minimum. Optimized for maximum speed.
Fin - The 40 mm Nobile fin is made of G10 material and serves as an extra stabilizer. You can use other sizes of Nobile G10 fins as well.

Artsy? Tasteless? Kitsch?Although it seems customary within the Gothic scene, I find cemetery photo shoots a rather awkward idea for a multitude of reasons. First and foremost, the question of taste comes into mind. In my lifetime it is likely that I have seen over a hundred images of Goths photographed in cemeteries, some of which appear harmless whereas others are distasteful and cringe worthy. Not to mention they are about as cliché as the Goths-up-trees photos (tradition courtesy of Robert Smith). Overall, I have no real problem with these images, provided the cemetery goer is respectful and chooses to photograph themselves (or friends) in an artistic and mindful way. That means no gyrating or dry humping grave plots or headstones.
Why do I care? Because I lost my best friend at the age of 24. Although it was from natural causes it was a disastrous shock. Nobody saw it coming, it happened overnight. We (her group of friends) were completely devastated. If I were to learn that some half-wit Goth or Alt fashionista felt compelled to rub his or her naughty bits on my friend's headstone, well I would just lose my fucking shit.
So I implore anyone who may consider a cemetery photo shoot to be respectful. There are people under those headstones, they are not simply rocks with scribbles on them, and those individuals deserve the same amount of respect that they would have received in their waking life. Also, I think that if you were to give the cemetery photo shoot a try, you should do your best to spice it up and forgo the usual Gothy scowl. I've not posted the kistchy or most distasteful photos on this blog (out of respect to those individuals) but I have definitely seen some pretty laughable and gag worthy photographs circling the web! None of us want to end up in one of those pictures.
I might do a cemetery fashion shoot of my own someday, for no other reason than because I adore the sculpture and ornamentation of Victorian era cemeteries. I honestly believe there's more art in the cemetery than in our local museum!
In closing, I have included some fashion photographs taken in cemeteries that I find most delightful and within good taste. (My favorite is today's main photo!) What are your thoughts on cemetery photo shoots? Are they overdone, beautiful, or of poor taste?

Spreadsheets may appear to be very complicated and difficult to work with, but actually they can be a great tool to calculate complex calculations as well as repetitive ones and projects that contain large amounts of data.
Using applications such as Microsoft Excel in math classes gives the student a new perspective on how to complete problems and correlate the value of what they are learning to real-world situations by introducing software that is used worldwide in many different types of settings.
Another positive aspect of using Excel in the math class is that it allows students to use technology/computers to complete problems that would ordinarily be completed using a calculator, pencil and paper.
Excel is very easy to get started with; there are gives the student a new perspective on how to complete problems and correlate the value of what they are learning to real-world situations by introducing software that is used worldwide in many different types of settings. only a few basics you need to know when working with entering data in a spreadsheet.
To copy using the relative method, simply place the cursor (+) on the bottom right edge of the cell and drag if the cells are adjacent to one another. The data is updated immediately as soon as you start to drag.
Sometimes you may not want a cell to be updated when copying it to another location or in a formula. In this case, you will want to use the absolute method of copying data. In this method, the data is copied exactly as it is in the original location. An example of a formula using an absolute copy reference is one where you are calculating a percent of a total, where you want the total to remain the same. To indicate you want a cell or row or column to be absolute, simply place a $ in front of the letter if you want the column to stay the same or in front of the number if you want the row to stay the same. You can place one in front of each if you wish the entire cell data to remain the same.
Examples: $A2 – Column will remain A but rows will change.
B$5 – Column changes but row remains the same.
$C$3 – Data will stay the same as it is in C3 wherever it is
Calculations in Excel are completed much like those done in a math class.
Order of Operations is the same---PEMDAS
Symbols for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are: +, -, * and /.
Equal sign (=) is entered first to identify to Excel that you are entering a mathematical formula or function. If the = is not the first item in the cell, the formula will be treated as a number and no calculation performed.
Once a formula has been entered the result of the calculation will be shown in the cell in which it was entered.
Examples of simple formulas:
Now that we have covered the basics, let's look at ways to incorporate spreadsheets into math classes to assist in addressing the standards.
The following are standards that can be addressed using spreadsheets:
Circumference and Area of a Circle
Surface Area
Circle Graphs and Box Plots
Scatterplots and Line Charts
There are many mathematical functions that are built-in to Excel. For a complete list, you can access them at the following link from Microsoft.
Basically, any mathematics can be calculated using a spreadsheet as long as you have the formula and enter it using correct format.
Excel's charts and graphs features are a great way to address standards and make for a fun way to engage your students!
Here are some types of graphs you can create using Excel:
Column and bar charts—to compare data
Line charts—to illustrate change over time
Pie charts—to illustrate parts of a whole.
Area charts—trends over time, can be 2D or 3D
Scatter plots -- relationships among the numeric values in several data series, or plots two groups of numbers as one series of xy coordinates.

Black Rose Ascension Trailer (1975)
01 January 1975
Shin Kishida stars as Juzo, a self-important pinku eiga director clearly modeled on Nagisa Oshima. Production is halted on his new film when lead actress Meiko (Meika Seri) is too obviously pregnant to film sex scenes. Looking for a replacement, he comes across the ubiquitous Naomi Tani, starring here in one of the rare roles which doesn't require her to be bound with rope.

Part IIII Exercises and Discussion
? Look at the sample presentation below and:
- Try to identify those four parts mentioned in Part Two
- In case the presenter here went blank right after the third paragraph, any suggestions from you to save the poor guy from embarrassment?
The DC Autodialler
A voice controlled data recorder and automatic telephone dialer.
Main features
Speech analyzer
Large memory
Large display
Lithium batteries
Good afternoon. Today I'd like to tell you about our latest product, the DC Autodialler. The DC Autodialler lets you record telephone numbers by speaking. It can also dial telephone numbers automatically. We expect it to be a very popular product.
First, I'll tell you the main features of the 'autodialler. Then I'll describe its physical characteristics. Finally, I'll explain how to see it.
The Autodialler has four important features. It has a very sophisticated speech analyzer which allows it to record names and telephone numbers. It can recognize up to 5000 common North American names. It has a large memory which lets you record up to 2500 names and telephone numbers. It has a 4-centimeter by 2-centimeter liquid crystal display which provides a sharp image. Ti uses lithium batteries which last for two year.
The Autodialler is very compact. It measures 10 centimeters by 5 centimeters by 0.5 centimeters. It's made of very light but hard plastic, and weights only 150 grams. It comes in three colors: black, silver and wine red.
Now, I'll show you how easy the Autodialler is to use. There are only three buttons: a "new" button, a "find" button, and a "dial" button. To enter a new name and phone number, press the "new" button. Then say the person's name. When the name is displayed say the telephone number. To find a name, press the "find" button and say the person's name. When the name is displayed you may dial the number, change the name or telephone number, or delete the information. To dial the number, point the Autodialler at your telephone and press the "dial" button.
As you can see, the Autodialler has many useful features, it's very compacted, and it's easy to use. I'm sure you'll agree that there will be a large market for it.
Thank you.

Less than fifty percentage of Arizona public schools provide integrated arts education in the curriculum and budget constraints is identified as the barrier for participation. Act One Foundation was created to address this need. Its mission is based on the belief that for today's students to be the innovators and economic leaders of the future, they need to experience and benefit from the music, dance, art, poetry and drama in their community. Early arts participation contributes to student creativity, self-motivation, social connectivity and civic engagement.
In our first year, Act One has served more than 6,000 students from Title 1 schools throughout the valley. In April, more than 750 high schoolers attended a performance of The Great Gatsby at the Herberger Theatre Center. For many, this was their first experience seeing a live production; the performance was impactful because they were also studying the book in school. To further build on the educational experience, Act One gave each student a copy of the book, "The Great Gatsby" as they exited the theater. This gift was made possible through the strong relationship with our partner Changing Hands bookstore in Tempe. One student said, "Receiving our own copy of the book allowed us to expand our knowledge of the world and enabled us to be more culturally aware."

By now, you may have heard a rumor that "vintage" weddings are phasing out, and "chic" weddings are SO in. Don't choose one or the other, try both! Make your wedding shabby and chic by combining modern clean lines and angles, with poppy colors! This palette is unique and extremely adaptable to any wedding theme. All you need is a solid hemlock lead and the perfect navy blue counterpart. From there, it is just a matter of adding neutral tones, and lace of course!
This palette is a favorite among DIY brides. Painted photo frames and rustic centerpieces set the shabby vibe, while cutting edge decor and modern personalized touches make your wedding truly chic. Bunting is a classic do it yourself project that can be chic when mixed with different types of materials, such as satin or lace (see photo below for example).

Stars place Chris Mueller on waivers Sunday, have to make decision on goalies
The Stars on Sunday placed Chris Mueller on waivers, which could give them some options.
Mueller, 27, is a talented center who signed a two-way contract with the Stars in the summer. With the team healthy, Mueller has been a scratch for the past three games. If he clears waivers, Mueller will be able to be sent to the Texas Stars and start playing the AHL, which is probably where the team had him slated to begin with.
Mueller would likely be one of the best forwards on the Texas Stars and also play some of their biggest minutes, so that's one reason for the move. The other is that Rich Peverley (who missed training camp and the season opener with an irregular heartbeat) seems fine, and the Stars will still have an extra forward in Lane MacDermid, wh plays a tougher role than Mueller.
Clearing a space on the 23-man roster also will give the Stars some options. Goalie Kari Lehtonen currently is nursing a lower body injury. He worked out hard off the ice on Saturday morning, but the Stars still don't know if he will be ready to even fill the role of back-up on Tuesday at Colorado. Because Jack Campbell was recalled on an "emergency" basis to back up Saturday at Minnesota, the Stars have a 48-hour window to either send Campbell back to the AHL or place Lehtonen on IR. That window expires on Monday.
The IR would be retroactive to Friday, so Lehtonen would miss Tuesday's game at Colorado and Thursday's home game against San Jose. He would be eligible to return Saturday at Los Angeles.
Another option could be that they call-up Campbell on a regular basis and carry three goalies. With Mueller gone, they would have room on the roster.
The other reason to send Mueller down is that Aaron Rome (who had hip surgery) could be ready to come off IR and be activated. Rome, 30, played 27 games for the Stars last season, and could definitely be considered one of the top six defensemen when healthy. He has been working out in contact drills, and while coach Lindy Ruff seemed to indicate he had more work to do, the Stars could push his recovery in hopes of getting some more size (6-1, 220) in on the back end after a 5-1 loss at Minnesota Saturday.
The Stars have the day off in Denver today, so we'll probably find out the answers to these questions on Monday.


text: Sometimes when I answer the phone there is a very loud metallic sound when someone speaks. The sound only occurs while they are speaking. It is so loud that I can barely hear their voice, and I have to hang up and call them back. The thing I noticed it that I only remember it happening when I answer the phone when I am on my computer. Anyone know about this problem? Is it just a coincidence? I am asking this question mostly for the sake of my curiosity. Thanks.

text: This project deals with urban and social problems of public house neighbourhoods, in particular large (public) housing estate neighbourhoods built in the metropolitan areas of Lisbon and Oporto between the 1970s and the early 2000s. Most of these large housing estates were built in the framework of Keynesian welfare state, incorporating principles of igualitarianism, functionalism and social change through state determined planning, even in cases such as Portugal where the construction took place in the postkeynesian period (after the late 1970s). This process has frequently produced new neighbourhoods, characterized by large groups of buildings distinct from the surrounding elements, both physically and socially. Although built within the social justice principles of social democrat Keynesianism and a planning philosophy of modernism, several of these housing estates progressively started to concentrate a myriad of urban and social problems. Although we can find substantial literature on the nature of such problems, there is not a model that successfully combines the various explaining factors. Issues such as socio-spatial stigmatization and relative isolation, poor quality of the public space, deficient urban design, lack of urban functions such as retail or economic services, socio-ethnic segregation, employment precarity, limited responses from schools as well as deficient management systems have all been considered key-elements to understand the problems emerging in this kind of neighbourhoods. In Portugal, only recently the policy principles orienting rehousing strategies and public housing options started to change in order to incorporate new orientations such as social mix and geographical dispersal of the public housing blocks. Nevertheless, new large public housing estates were built in the late 1990s under the rehousing programme PER. In several of these large housing located in the metropolitan areas of Lisbon and Oporto, the aforementioned problems have been identified in scientific and technical researches as well as widely spread by the media (for instance, in 2008 summer several news about riots and vandalism in such neighbourhoods). This project is focused in two key research questions:1) Which regeneration solutions can be implemented in the large problematic housing estates of public promotion? 2) Are the present rehousing solutions involving geographical spreading and social mix more efficient than the past ones? And two complementary goals: 1) To identify critical success (or failure) factors associated to public housing policies (and public space policies) targeting large housing estates; 2) To discuss the challenges associated to the overrepresentation of populations with specific housing needs (Gypsies, immigrants) in these housing estates.

so here goes...
I think I'll stick with the friday 5 concept and link ya up with 5 cool summertime tracks for ya...
Here's a mellow morning jazzy groover from Hard Hands, the late great conga king of NY kickin' down some Gershwinized latin rhythms for y'all
Ray Barretto - Summertime
Another groove laden track tellin' it like it is from the reigning rock n roll hall of famer & genuine gentleman pianist from New Orleans. This one is one from a 1978 solo release that came out on Warner Bros. He'll be performing at a big Katrina Relief event at the New Orleans Arena for a big benefit concert next week, and I know a French girl who gets to go... and darn, despite the sticky heat down there, I'm so jealous...
Allen Toussaint - The Optimism Blues
From Jon Langford's latest release, his first solo project on ROIR, Neil Cooper's once cassette only label. Langford unleashes his usual quality songwriting, with a few choice covers. An unlikely Welsh hero of the so-called "Americana" movement, Langford who started the Mekons a couple decades ago should need no introduction to fans of real indie rock. His latest release is called Gold Brick and is subtitled "Lies of The Great Explorers, or Colombus at Gunatanamo Bay". I know I've heard this song before, likely on one of The Waco Bros releases on Bloodshot, but here it is presented in a more muted, but equally dramatic and well done version.
Jon Langford - Anything Can Happen
Taking it back to the west coast, local Mission district denizen and electro funk bad boy Gold Chains kicks down the closest thing I think he's done to a hit.
Gold Chains - California Nights
Chocolate Watchband - I'm Not Like Everybody Else
One of my adopted theme songs wriiten by Mr. Ray Davies done by some garage punk bad boys back in the late 60's...
well that's 5 mp3'z for ya
here's a couple other things ya can today if yer bored and have the bandwidth...

And when you want to run convert the shell
automagically figures out that it should
run convert from inside the ImageMagick directory.
Don't tell me that convert should have its own
subdirectory because that would require more files
than just convert furthermore if each of the
imagemagick programs had its own subdirectory then
there would be alot of stuff that is duplicated.

Picture: Coldplay The 2008 Q Awards at the Grosvenor House Hotel - Arrivals London, England - 06.10.08
Coldplay's Chris Martin has found a secret songwriting mentor in ECHO + THE BUNNYMEN star Ian Mcculloch - and often texts the KILLING MOON singer when he's run out of ideas.
MCCulloch reveals Martin quizzes him about songwriting techniques and even steals Echo + The Bunnymen samples for Coldplay hits.
He says, "When Coldplay was doing their second album I walked into the studio in Liverpool, where they recorded it, and Chris said, 'Hey MAC! We're sampling The Cutter intro, but we're having some difficulty making it not sound like the Bunnymen. I said, 'Just f**king use it.'
"I think Chris is great. We text each other, like, 'Hello MAC-o! How do you write lyrics that are good?' I say, 'Either you've got it or you haven't. Do some crosswords, watch pornography.'"

On His Way Out, Obama Moves To Make National Elections Less Secure | Stock News & Stock Market Analysis - IBD:
"With almost no notice, Homeland Security chief Jeh Johnson announced that his department was designating the nation's elections system as "critical infrastructure," thereby giving DHS greater control over how states run their own elections.
This is a classic example of a government solution in search of a problem, one that will itself end up creating actual problems.
There's been no evidence of any foreign government tampering with election outcomes — although there were reports of attempts to gain access to registration databases."

Disappointing Dakar. Salta, Argentina
The Dakar. A rally where over 350 competitors drive motorcycles, quads, cars and trucks through wild places and crazy conditions. This year, we were in Salta to witness it. Except we didn't really.
I'll tell you a secret. I didn't really care about seeing the Dakar. It's not something I've ever aspired to see, but as all the people around me seemed very keen to see it, I was happy to go along with them. Phil really wanted to see the Dakar. However, his collarbone still wasn't healed enough to ride, so he had taken seven buses, over three days, just so he could meet us in Salta to see it. Sometimes life just isn't fair.
The problem we discovered with the Dakar in Argentina was that they don't publish the route. The manager of the hostel had a list of local roads that were to be closed, but that was all we had to go by.
Let me tell you about the day I raced in the Dakar.
The day all the riders came in to Salta, we rode to the main convention centre where all the teams had set up shop. Cricket was having her fork seals changed, so I was on the back of one of the boys bikes as we rode towards the grounds. Riding pillion, after more than 50,000km on my own bike, was a very strange feeling. I didn't really like it and wanted my bike back ASAP.
The roads were lined with hundreds of spectators, who all, apparently, really didn't know much about the Dakar. I know this, because they all were clapping and cheering and taking pictures as we rode by. They thought that the old, heavily loaded KLR, carrying TWO people, was racing in the Dakar. I wasn't in any position to correct them, so I just smiled and waved at them all.
The real racers went up on a stage to be interviewed.
Unfortunately our racer status ended when we got to the compound. Only real racers were allowed through the gate into the inner sanctum. We didn't have the right accreditation. All we were allowed to see was the tourist area, with "Visit Salta†stands, a Honda booth, and Dakar memorabilia for sale.
All we wanted to see were the teams cleaning and tearing apart the vehicles, and preparing them for the next stage. That was not to be however. No access allowed. We could stand at the fence and look with longing at the other side.
In the end, that was all I saw of the Dakar. The next day was the official rest day, and there was supposed to be a bit of a parade and such, but it started raining very hard, and even had we wanted to stand in the rain to watch it, it was cancelled.
Phil wasn't himself in Salta. He seemed tired and depressed. I barely spent any time with him at all. He would sleep in very late, and take long naps in the afternoon. I can only imagine that the Dakar being such a disappointment after he'd travelled so far to get there, and seeing eight motorcycles ready to go South, when he had to make the tiring bus journey back to his bike in Peru, was a tough pill to swallow.
Even worse, there was nothing I could do or say to make it better. While of course I was happy to see Phil again, I found the whole situation very upsetting.
I got Cricket back with her new fork seals in place. The mechanic said there was slight scarring in the left fork, and that I may find that she just starts spurting oil again very soon.
I was very ready to leave Salta and start adventuring again. We'd been there for five nights, and, with nothing much else other than drinking to be done, that was definitely long enough.
The next morning, Alan, Arun, Andre, Josh and I left heading towards Mendoza. Jordon was suffering from self-induced sleep deprivation, and Ryan and Mark weren't ready to leave just yet, maybe in a few hours. The rest of us were loath to stay another night, and so got on the road.
I said goodbye to Phil once more, not sure if I'd be seeing him again before one, or both, of us returns to Canada, and left him behind again.

Explore the smaller flora and fauna of the islands
Spend some time with our local iguanas in Iguana Alley, our ducks and tortoises on the Nature Trail, and our not so native but very lovable Rainbow Lorikeets in the Lorikeet Garden.
The inhabitants of this walk-through aviary houses Australian Rainbow Lorikeets and one Blue Streak Lorikeet. They were all born in captivity and arrived here from Florida. These beautifully colored and very sociable birds give our guests an opportunity to watch their amusing antics up close. If you care to hand feed them, just purchase a cup of nectar.
The daily presentation starts at 12:00pm
You can find iguanas everywhere on the Virgin Islands, but dozens have made their home in the small area above the Turtle Pool just opposite the Lorikeet Garden. Look up into the sea grape trees and spot them resting on branches or look for them on the rocks.
At feeding time, 3:30pm, you will find these somewhat prehistoric looking creatures in great number on the ramp leading to the rear of the park.
Contains many important Virgin Islands trees and plants, like the lignum vitae tree whose wood was commonly used in all ship's propeller stern-tube bearings because of its self-lubricating qualities. Our ducks and red-footed tortoises live on the lower Nature Trail.
Coral World is not open to the General Public at this time. If you are coming to St Thomas on a cruise ship, please book one of our Coral World excursions through your cruise line.

If your team took good notes, a lot of data now needs to be sorted and evaluated. Start by reviewing your notes with a highlighter to identify key quotes, recurring comments, and interesting findings. Then spend time determining which findings are most critical. Once key findings are identified and prioritized, it's time to start hammering out your report.
Report Vocabulary
Select the language used to describe the evaluation and the respondents carefully. You'll notice during the course of this article, I've never called the test participants users; they are referred to as respondents. By definition, a user has actually used the site. A representative user is somebody who fits the profile of a person who would actually use the site.
Also, steer clear from drawing concrete conclusions based on observations. When a conclusion is based on an observation and not a spoken response, make that distinction. For example, if a respondent appears frustrated or confused, the report should read "The respondent appeared frustrated," instead of "The respondent was frustrated."
Prepare and Organize the Report
Your goal for the written report is to provide a useful and readable document to the client, not just a thick packet of papers that gets filed away, unread. When writing the report, provide an executive summary, as well as specifics from the evaluation. With discount usability techniques, the goal is to identify usability concerns and potential solutions. Therefore, a majority of the report should focus on usability shortcomings rather than areas that tested well. Make sure the client understands this.
Use the following sections as a guideline when preparing your report:
- Overview: This is a high-level overview of the evaluation goals and methodologies used to collect data. Describes the test respondents, the data collection process, the testing facilities, and any considerations that potentially impact the results. Basically, this is the why and how of the test.
- Evaluation Highlights: If someone is only going to read one section of the report, this should be it. It includes self-explanatory headings, such as Significant Positive Feedback and Significant Negative Feedback. Also include an Interesting Findings section that discusses unexpected feedback that was especially notable. The highlights section should conclude with a selection of memorable quotes. A good evaluation captures respondent feedback, and the best way to communicate that is through respondent quotes.
- Results and Potential Solutions: Often the longest section of the report, this part details the findings of the usability evaluation. Highlight problematic areas through a combination of narrative and screen captures. The screen shots are especially effective for communicating the context of the problem. It's often easy to see the problem but extremely difficult to document it.
- Next Steps: Remember, this was only an evaluation. Now it's time to figure out what to do with the results. A usability evaluation does not exist in a vacuum, and the end solutions often reflect a compromise between all site concerns, such as visual design, branding, technology, and resource constraints. Also, use this section to recommend future evaluations.
Every good report also includes appendixes:
- The moderator's guide references the questions asked to collect the data. This makes it easy to be reevaluate the site using the same test script.
- Respondent profiles provide background information (demographics, experience level, Internet usage) on the test respondents.
- Screen shots provide the context for the evaluation. All too often there is no documentation about which version of the site was tested and what it looked like. Screen shots capture the version of the site that was evaluated.
Make yourself available in person or on the phone to answer questions. If your clients don't understand what you gave them, the evaluation is useless. As sad as it sounds, it is not uncommon for the written findings from usability evaluations to remain unread. To make sure the results are disseminated, attempt to present the findings in person. Just like the evaluation, this step doesn't need to be high tech. It might be as simple as walking people through the highlights and findings of the report. This also ensures the client has no excuse for not being informed about the issues, and it provides an opportunity to address the client's questions on the spot.
Learn and Share
Now that all of these insightful findings have been compiled, make sure you share the results with people on your team and in your company. Talk about what works, so those successes can be captured in future projects. Talk about what didn't work, and try to come up with alternative approaches. It's much easier than starting at square one every time you build a site.
