- By placing an order through our site, you accept that professional training and certification from a recognised diving agency is required to use most of our specialist products (all products specifically made to be used underwater) and that any scuba diving equipment you have purchased from DirDirect is done so with the understanding that you are trained and qualified to inspect, prepare, maintain and operate that equipment within your limits of training and experience, as well as the limits and purposes specified by the relevant manufacturer. (Terms & Conditions)
- All products we have available for supply conform to all relevant British and European standards.
- All products sold by Underwater Explorers Ltd./DirDirect are supplied with a manufacturer warranty, the details of which are available on request.
- A warranty is non-transferable and extends to the original purchaser only, together with a valid proof of purchase. A warranty shall be void if any equipment is tampered with by a person (or persons) not authorised to perform service or modifications on behalf of the manufacturer after purchase.
- Product warranty does not extend to damages caused by improper use, improper maintenance, neglect, unauthorised repairs or modifications, third party battery leaks (where batteries are not supplied by manufacturer), if proper care of diving products as described by manufacturer is not performed or if any of these lead to accidents, fire, or casualty.

- Use of any purchased equipment from Underwater Explorers | DirDirect for rental, commercial, governmental or military purposes is not covered by warranty.
- Certain items, such as bulbs and batteries supplied by manufacturers as part of dive torches, transmitters, computer units etc. used underwater are only covered by time-limited conditional manufacturer warranties that commence on the date a customer receives the product. (Please also see Dive Torch Warranties underneath).
- As battery life depends on usage, charging methods and times, number of charges, ambient temperature and other factors including the type of battery being used, battery packs and batteries supplied with products (where applicable) are covered only by conditional limited warranties (often ranging from 3 to maximum 6 months depending on manufacturer).
- Floods, leaks, punctures, broken bulbs, battery leaks, battery drain/death due to erroneous use, charging, reverse polarisation, wrong charging port being used are not covered by warranty unless the problem is assessed as direct result of a material or workmanship defect.

- Any claim based on a defect in quality or condition of the goods (fault and/or suitability for use) received must be notified to us within 14 days of delivery in writing by our contact form, email, fax or post to reject an item ordered - after which you will be deemed to have accepted the products. If you believe a product developed a fault or defect for any reason after this period you need to contact us as soon as possible.
- We cannot accept any liability for the use of or damage caused by any scuba diving or relevant equipment purchased from Underwater Explorers by non-certified or untrained persons, or the use of equipment beyond its described depths or limits, or the use of equipment outside or beyond its intended purpose.
- Our detailed Warranty Terms covering defects and faults and extended manufacturer warranties for dive torches on this page is based on serving you in the best possible way while protecting you against the unlikely event of manufacturing defects.
Faults & Defects
We do our very best to ensure that products supplied by us are as described and fit for purpose. Despite these measures, there may be isolated incidents where a product could arrive to you damaged during transit, with a defect or fault. If you believe a product you have purchased from us is faulty or defective, contact us as soon as you can before doing anything else.
- If you purchase a product that turns out to be faulty or defective within 14 days after delivery, you can choose to reject it and return the product for inspection towards a replacement or refund.
- If any product returned to us in a reasonable time beyond the 14 day period after delivery is found to be faulty or defective, we will organise for a repair or replacement free of charge at our discretion. The provision of a repair/replacement is conditional on our service engineers, agents and/or the manufacturer.
- If any product(s) returned to us are not found to have a manufacturing fault or defect, all postage costs paid for on our part will be added to any repair authorised by you or charged to you separately should you not wish to proceed with a repair.
- You must contact us in writing before returning any faulty/defective goods. Failure to do so will void any right you have towards covering any return postage. Only pre-arranged/approved return costs can be covered if the product is found to be faulty or defective. You can contact us by using our online contact form, email, post or fax. Details and further information are given on our Returns pages.
- You agree to take reasonable steps as requested by us to resolve the situation including, but not limited to, providing images of the said fault or defect, returning the item to us for assessment through a courier or postal service we authorise or ensuring its availability for collection.
- Please note that a fault developing during use, such as flooding or freeflows etc., will require goods to be returned to manufacturer for warranty confirmation.
- Any damage to purchased equipment already delivered to you during subsequent travel including but not limited to dive or travel bags is the responsibility of the transit company and not the manufacturer. If any such damage occurs we advise you to contact the transportation company directly.
- For manufacturer warranty, please remember that while your statutory rights are unaffected, we deal with manufacturers on your behalf if any warranty issue arises within the first 6 months after your purchase and thereafter at our discretion. Whether an issue is under warranty is ultimately up to the manufacturer (and authorised agents) of that specific product to be decided under the terms of their warranty and pending an inspection of the product. This does not affect your statutory rights.
- The time a manufacturer/distributor handles a warranty claim differs between manufacturer/distributor and can also be affected by their location. Regardless of location or manufacturer any warranty claim we receive will be considered and replied to within a maximum of thirty (30) days.
To send back a faulty/defective product follow the instructions in our Returns Policy
5. Punctures, (umblical) cable tear, breakage, rusting etc. due to accident or poor maintenance, results of using equipment in salt/chlorine water conditions and not rinsing with fresh water properly will not be covered by warranty unless it can be established that any of these are the direct result of a material or workmanship defect.
7. Flooding and leaking of canister or hand-held primary and backup torches beyond the 14 day rejection period is not under warranty unless it is established on inspection that these incidents are the direct result of a material or workmanship defect on part of the manufacturer. Warranty repair or replacement procedures are at the discretion of the manufacturer and the authorised dealer.
8. You have a legal right to receive a reply to any warranty claim within a reasonable period after a product believed to be defective/faulty is returned to an authorised dealer of that product, inspected by the dealer and/or manufacturer where required to assess whether there is a manufacturing defect. Products believed to be defective/faulty can be rejected by you in the first 14 days after receiving delivery, can be reported in for repair or replacement at discretion of supplier up to 6 months after sales and can be addressed to the manufacturer as a warranty claim thereon for a longer time (or through the authorised dealer at their discretion).
9. You are expected to read manufacturer warranty documents prior to a purchase or on delivery of products which you should consider before using an item within its unused return period. A number of manufacturers will cover their products against manufacturing and workmanship defects for over 6 months from the original date of purchase but will also state that if defects happen during that period, they will only be obliged to repair or replace the defective part or product at the manufacturer's sole discretion."
📌 The following restrictions apply to all warranty claims: Warranty does not extend to damages caused by improper use, improper maintenance, extended use on surface, neglect, unauthorized repairs, modifications, accidents, fire, or casualty. Cosmetic damage, such as scratches, fraying, and nicks are not covered by warranty. Warranty does not extend to equipment used for rental, commercial, governmental, or military purposes.
📌 Manufacturers and suppliers will expect you to know how to prepare, maintain and use an underwater torch. Inspect all o-rings, lubricate them as recommended, ensure any component of an underwater lighting system is sealed and tightened properly before a dive. Check charger and battery compatability/functionality as soon as possible (if applicable) and use only reputable original batteries if batteries are not supplied by manufacturer. Avoid rechargeable batteries unless approved and/or recommended by manufacturer. AVOID leaving any dive torch under direct sunlight on the surface, leaving them switched on while above water, leaving any o-rings exposed to elements, allowing o-rings to dry, storing dive lights that have been in salt/chlorine water without properly rinsing and cleaning them. Follow manufacturer instructions for maintenance, charging, safety and maximum depth.
* Non of the above affect your statutary/legal rights. Read our Full Terms and Conditions and Returns Policy for further information on how we can help deal with any problems.

The Halcyon warranty is a global warranty.

What is a title tag?
The title tag is the main description of an online document. It is a very important on-page element for SEO. It is very simple to add to any html document by specifying the title element within the
<head> section.
<title>Example of a title tag</title>
Where is the title tag used?
The title tag is used in three seperate places on the web:
- Browsers
- Search Engines
- Other websites
In browsers the title tag of a webpage is displayed in the tab and in most browsers it's also displayed at the very top of the browser.
The webpage in the image above has been marked with the title 'Example Domain' as you can see.
Search Engines
In search engines the title tag is used as the headline of each result.
It's the big blue text which you click on to go to the corresponding website.
In the example below I googled the query "Title tag". As you can see in the image every occurence of the query or part of the query has been made bold.
This draws attention to your users eyes and increases the click through rate.
Other websites
A lot of the times when a different website links to you they will use the title as anchor text for the link. Social media websites are a good example of this fact.
As you can see in the image above the big headline "Google Plus SEO: Everybody Talks About It - How Do You DO It?" is the link. This is of course the title tag from the shared link.
Title tag best practices
There are some best practices for creating the best possible title tags for your website. Let's run through them one at a time.
- Only use one
<title>tag per page and make sure it's in the
<head>section of your HTML document.
- Don't make it too long. The maximum a search engine will show of your title is 70 characters. This is including whitespaces. The search engine image from earlier in the post has a search result with a title tag that gets cut off. This isn't very good for the user since the sentence just got cut off by three small dots. The W3C advises to keep it to a maximum of 64 characters.
- Make sure the title is like a headline on a magazine. It's like an advertisement in both Search engines and Social media platforms. Make sure that when a user reads your title tag it's gonna want to read the rest of your content. Check out 'How to write great headlines and earn clicks' to learn how to write great headlines that earn clicks.
- Try to start the title with your most important keyword. The most important keyword should be about the current page and it should be something people actually look for in the search engines. Of course keep in best practice #3 in mind.
- Make sure that every single one of the title tags on your website is unique and specifically tailored to it's page and that it reflects the content from that page.
- Avoid keyword stuffing! Don't stuff your title tag full of keywords in order to rank higher. That may have worked in the past but now it doensn't anymore. Search engines are getting smarter and are figuring out which page is the best for the user. So make sure the content is awesome and that the title tag is just an amazing headline that makes the user want to read it.
- Make sure the title tag on at least your homepage has your brandname in it. Don't forget that the branding should go at the end of the title.

downloads are limited by time and number of attempts
all completed sales are recorded in the database

All pages written in PHP and script is NOT encrypted
Files are not accessible via a normal href link and hence cannot be downloaded by unauthorized users.
Incorporates testing via the PayPal and Google SandBox environment so that the complete system, can be tested.
Interacts with Paypal\'s IPN system to monitor when a payment is complete for both digital and physical products.
Automatically generates a login in url link for PayPal purchases to download their digital purchases.

it is just the matter of changing the code, from 0.3 to 1
b) Joomla
I would like this website to be made for Joomla so that I can freely edit and change any aspect of the website

usually do it
[url removed, login to view] functionality (front end)
a) Search panel - Main
( see example [url removed, login to view] )
Search box (for typing words - for example "romantic piano")
Drop-down menus (with GO button next to each):
Genre - default "All" (example: classical, blues, rock e.t.c)
Mood - default "All" (example: angry, sweat, romantic)
Instrument - default "All" (example: piano, guitar, violin)
Length - default "All" ,15 seconds or less, 15-30s, 30-1min, 2min,3min,4min,5min, 6 minutes +
Tempo - default "All" ,50 or less,50-70,71-90,91-110,111-130,131-150,151-170,171-190,191 +
Results per page - 25, 50, 100
In the future I might add other search options like vocals e.t.c so I would like to be able to ADD/REMOVE/EDIT search options from the control panel (see 2 e) general attributes )
Search panel - for sound effects page
For sound effects there will only search box and
Results per page - 25, 50, 100 (see sound effects at [url removed, login to view] )
All albums and tracks from sound effects will be in different directory
so search from sound effects search panel will only give
tracks/albums from sound effects
b) Search results
Table display (names and folders)
Search results should be in a form of table from left to right, for a table example see [url removed, login to view], in a search results table they have "Title, Demo, Details, Price, Purchase", but here it should be in the following order:" Title, description, version, demo, download demo(under demo), price, purchase " (see every track should have below)
Above they have "Tracks, collections, libraries" which allow to filter the results accordingly, but on this website it will be " Tracks, Albums, Collections"
so when Tracks is clicked you have "Every track should have" ( see below)
when Albums is clicked you have
- Cover art ( When clicked you get "Every album should have" see below), title, catalog number, description, price, add to cart button
when Collections is clicked you have
- Cover art ( When clicked you get "Every collection should have" see below), title, catalog number, description, price, add to cart button
Every track should have ( for example see [url removed, login to view] track results )
1. Title - should include:
Composer ( when clicked short biography with photo appears along with all the tracks listed ) - for example : Composer Michael Newman
Catalog number (For example U24)
If the track is from an album there should be a link to the album
for example "From Smooth Jazz Album"
2. Description - should include:
Track description
Tempo BPM (beats per minute) for example BPM 134
Keyword tags - appearing in the form of search links chosen from the search panel menus for example, action ( with link to all the action tracks ), piano (with link to all piano tracks ) e.t.c,
3. Version
Full track with time (for example "Full track 3:23")
Loops - *Optional
Short versions - *Optional
*Loops and Short versions are optional because not all the
tracks will have them, but there always should be an option
in administration panel to add them
4. Demo for:
Full version - music player as a Play button, when Play is clicked the whole player develops from Play button, (see Music player)
so for each Track there is one Music Player in a form of Play button next to Full version (because this is what client will click in order to listen to the track) but it should be obvious form the design and placement of the Loops and Short versions that when clicked on the name they should start playing ( see Loops and Short versions below)
Loops - each loop should have number and time for example
(1) 23sec, (2) 1:34 , (3) 45sec, (4) 2:21 e.t.c
when clicked on name "(1) 23 sec" player above should start playing
Short versions -15sec, 30sec, 60sec
when clicked on name the player above should start playing
Full version, loops and short versions - will all have watermark on it and client should be able to hear whole length of the demo, the actual "original music track " file that will go to the shopping cart will be watermark free
Music player
Play, Stop, Pause
Rewind, Forward - clickable in a track bar,
When someone listens to the track and than moves to other one
the first one automatically stops playing
Name of the track should appear somewhere on the player
preferably on the track bar, for example "Full version, Loop 1,
15 sec version e.t.c"
For every track listened there should be
- overall time - on the right side of the player, for example 2:45
- left time - on the track bar of the player, for example 0:20

( for example see [url removed, login to view] )
8. All Tracks,Albums and Collections titles should be in a form of link, when clicked new window should appear along with all the information listed above, this is done for SEO purposes and being able to send and * input a link to specific track/album/collection (for example see [url removed, login to view] ) * ( More details see 3 c) Menu )
[url removed, login to view] all Track's and album's listing should include Facebook and Twitter button in order to incorporate latest social networking techniques (if you have some other/better ideas regarding this I am open to discuss it)
10. The tracks should be listed in a nice, pleasant way, for example you can tell when track field ends by background color
(see [url removed, login to view] )
Every album should have:
Cover art (optional)
Price, time, keyword tags, composer link, catalog number
Add to cart button ( as a whole album )
"Play demo option" so that chosen track is being played
(so administration panel should have option in album attributes to
chose this track)
All tracks listed below with music player ( see above "every track should have")
Every album should be in a form of link and include Facebook and Twitter (see numbers 8,9 above )
Link to all collections in which this album appears
Every collection should have:
Cover art (optional)
"Play demo option" so that chosen track is being played
(so administration panel should have option in album attributes to
chose this track)
All albums listed below with name and price and when clicked
on the name all tracks from given album appear
( for example see libraries at [url removed, login to view] )
Results page display and filtering options:
Like in both [url removed, login to view] and [url removed, login to view]
there should be an option in a search results table to sort the music
by Popularity (as default) , Recent, Alphabetical
Should indicate how many tracks and pages are there for given search, with numbered link for each page, for example 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8....23
c) Shopping cart
All items should have:
Catalog number
Music player
Type of license - chosen from drop-down menu - default "Standard"

client will receive the music track / tracks
client will receive license in .pdf format which he chose during
the ordering process ( so in administration panel should be an option
for uploading those licenses )
if possible the license should automatically be updated with client name, track/tracks purchased and current date
2. Shop administration panel (back end)
It is important that there should be option for 2 different searches:
Main search panel (from home page) for all tracks/albums/collections with exception of sound effects
Search for only sound effects (from sound effects page only)
a) Songs attributes
Every song should have options to choose from search criteria
(See 1 a) Search panel ) :
- genre, mood, instrument, length, tempo e.t.c
in a track there might be few instruments, moods, tempos, e.t.c
so it is important to be able to add few of each if necessary
"Upload demo" preview (with watermark) function for:
- Full version - with time (this time appears as a main full track time )
- Loops (each separately) in a form of numbers (1), (2) e.t.c,
each with different time attributes ( it is important because it will
affect search results by length/time, so although the main track
can last 2:35 when client searches for tracks under 30sec and the
loop is 26sec it should display in search results on its own with the
name and link to the Full track to which it belongs,
so for example Loop no.2 (26 sec) from Sad violin (track)
- Short versions, 15sec,30sec,60sec
it should be possible to add different length of short versions
for example 45sec, 55 sec, so \"time\" should be flexible
(see loops length/time search criteria above)
Upload Original music track ( which client gets after payment ) for:
- Full version
- Loops (each separately) in a form of numbers (1), (2) e.t.c
- Short versions, 15sec,30sec,60sec, e.t.c
So Upload of Original and Watermarked version should match
Price - Different for Full version, Loops, Short versions, All versions
Keyword tags - chosen from search options for example Genre "classical" or instrument "piano", so it all should match the search options ( See 1 a) )
Composer name
Catalog number ( for example U24 )
If the track is from album (parent) there should be an option to add the album name from drop-down list of all albums (see b) ) but it is optional, it should be possible for the track to be on its own
b) Albums attributes
Keyword tags
Composer name
Catalog number
Cover art upload function
Option to add all the tracks to the album from the drop-down list of all tracks (songs )
If the album is from Collection - parent - see c) there should be an option to add the Collection name from drop-down list of all Collections
Chosen Albums s will be listed on the home page along with its:
- Few Tracks
- Cover Arts
- Small play button for every track
C) Collection attributes
Title (name of collection)
Each Collection will include Albums ( see b) above)
so for example "Classical" (collection) will include Classical Albums
Cover art upload function for each genre
Chosen Collections s will be listed on the home page along with its:
- Albums (from new to old listing)
- Cover Arts
- Small play button for every album name
(for example see home page of [url removed, login to view])
d)Songs / Albums / Collections / Composers
Along with everything listed above there should be an option to:
Add / Remove / Edit each Song, Album, Collection
Option to assign / remove:
- track to album
- album to collection
Option to Add / Remove / Edit each Composer along with its Biography and Photo
Add / Remove/ Edit different types of licenses ( which are sent by e-mail after customer buys the music ) (see cart on [url removed, login to view] ) and
Add / Remove / Edit those license's prices
So that client when buying music chooses certain license for music from drop-down
menu and the price automatically updates to it
e) General attributes
Option to Add / Remove / Edit all the search criteria ( see 1 a) Search Panel ), so there should be an option to :
- Add / Remove / Edit within given criteria, for example genre/classical
- Add / Remove / Edit main criteria, for example, genre, mood e.t.c
[url removed, login to view]
a) General information
Layout should be made for Joomla so that I will be able to:
- Add/Remove/Edit modules, menu links, design, look and feel of the whole website
- Add/Remove/Edit articles for blog
- Change all aspects of the website ( that is what Joomla is about :) )
Layout should be based on logo and work with it ( see c) Logo )
Css file should be easy to follow so that I could change anything
for example names of modules in Css should correspond exactly
with names on layout
Layout should come with image showing all names/numbers of modules and their placement ( standard joomla technique ) so that I will know exactly what I am changing
b) Graphic design
The graphic design will be for above website which is the High quality digital music store, music composition, music production, music platform (blog, articles, forum) so the main aim of graphic design (layout) for this website is to show that in as much detail as possible
The clients are usually from creative industry, media, radio, internet, TV, movie, small and large businesses so mostly they are professionals aged 25-55 so graphic design should reflect that
Layout should be based on already made logo (see below) so that colors, graphic elements and design work together ancreate nice, pleasant, professional layout
b) Logo
This logo should be used on the website and layout, color and design should fit well together:
[url removed, login to view]
c) Menu
Should be flexible so that I could Add / Remove / Edit pages
To start with there should be following pages:
- Home, Custom music, Sound effects, About us, FAQ, License, Blog , Forum, Contact us
(with contact form)
d) Pages
Home page should include:
- Search panel (left side under menu)
- Main website photo with slogan (center, next to search panel)
- Chosen Albums/Collections listed with its few tracks/album and small play button
(see 2 b) and c) ) (under slogan/photo)
Blog instead of search panel will have Article categories and titles on the left side, in the center there will be text
Sound effects instead of the main search panel will have only search box for words search ( see sound effects at [url removed, login to view] ) and chosen albums / collections listed in the center
For chosen page/pages it should be possible to chosen albums / collections along with their chosen tracks / albums, play button for example for home page I will chose different albums to display than for example for sound effects page (see way of displaying the albums / collections at [url removed, login to view] )
d) Modules
There should be an option for every page to Add / Remove main search panel module and to choose modules which should appear on the page, because for example in blog and forum I will not need it
Default modules should include:
- Logo, Up, Search (For whole website), Menu, Search panel, Center (for main text page and content) , left small modules, right small modules, Foot (1,2,3)
see [url removed, login to view] for home page example
see [url removed, login to view] for blog page example

I think this'll be the last one I'm sharing for this year. I had to include it. It's my favorite design of all of them, and also the one egg I dropped and cracked right before I stuck it in the dye. It was indeed double dyed as well. I should've dyed it a darker…
Tag: romanian easter eggs
The Contemporary Egg
After I get tired or start feeling desperate for designs, I usually incorporate some more modern, contemporary, easier-on-the-hand designs. I've done birds every year, but this year I had a great arsenal of designs. This was one of the only contemporary designs I did and I really love how it turned out.
Sun Egg
One of my favorite designs to do. Last year I did this one in orange. It's just so pretty.
Teardrop Lace Egg
I really liked doing this one for some reason. the big open spaces on either side are teardrop shaped. Normally I do them oval, but this a nice little twist. Originally I was going to fill them in, but I decided it would not only be easier to just leave both sides open and just…
The Chrysanthemum Egg
As promised, a closer look at some of my favorite eggs from this year. Yes, I used shredded paper for "grass".

Pop quiz: what kind of device are more shoppers planning to purchase through this holiday season – a tablet or a smartphone? Make a guess before reading on!
According to ThreatMetrix survey of 722 active Internet using consumers, 37% intend to make a purchase using their smartphone, nearly three times as many as those who plan to use their tablet. (View the entire infographic on The High Low). Why? One explanation is how we use the mobile web — tablets are used primarily in the living room, not on-the-go, making it just as easy to transact from a desktop or laptop machine than fiddle with a touch screen. A smartphone is on your person most, if not all of the time. But more likely the reason is simply, despite the rapid adoption of tablets, more folks own a smartphone. According to Forrester Research, 9% of consumers owned a tablet vs 39% owning a smartphone when surveyed in June 2011.
So…smartphones win?
Not so fast… The top categories folks are willing to purchase with mobile devices are music and apps (77% and 73%, respectively), gas (69%) and travel (52%). Consumer electronics (48%) and clothing (42%) are not far behind, but pale in comparison to digital downloads that enhance the device and practical purchases like gas and travel. In other words – folks are shopping for themselves, most often for content that enhances their experiences with their own devices. If you strip out device-enhancing purchases like ringtones, according to Forrester, only 13% of consumers have purchased a physical product through their smartphone. Contrast this with 47% of tablet owners. The real growth in mcommerce will come from tablets In Why Tablet Commerce May Soon Trump Mobile, Sucharita Mulpuru cites a study by Forrester and Bizrate that found more than half of tablet owners prefer to shop with their tablets over their smartphones, thanks to larger screens. Some are using tablets as replacement for PCs, a trend that's likely to continue. Tablet owners also spend more time on the web, and more time browsing just for fun. (A stat mentioned at the X.Commerce launch last week was the top reason for visiting mobile retail sites was because users are bored and want to kill time – 78%)! Retailers surveyed by Forrester report that 21% of their mobile traffic comes from tablets, some over 50%.
It's not either-or
Regardless of whether a survey finds more shoppers use smartphones or tablets to access your site, you need to optimize for both experiences. You may have higher traffic Monday to Thursday, but it doesn't mean you take down your site on weekends. The point is not to prioritize one at the expense of the other, they complement each other. Remember, mobile "shopping" consists of more than completing a purchase, including product research (search/browse and reading ratings and reviews), price comparison and store hours/location lookup. Google predicts 44% of last-minute gift and store location searches will be mobile in December. Searches are performed on both smartphones and tablets. And your email messages are accessed on both devices, too.
Maximize the value of your mobile investment
The value of mobile optimization extends beyond what you can measure through analytics, making true ROI difficult to measure. Customers who use mobile to browse and research may complete their purchases on their desktops or laptops. Features that support cross-device shopping, such as saved carts, wishlists and shopping-list style applications can help you squeeze more value out of smartphone and tablet visits, as can triggered emails for carts abandoned on mobile devices so purchases can be easily completed online (get that email address in the first step!)
Overcommunicate security
Are small screens the biggest deterrent to shopping on mobile devices? Nope. 45% of online consumers say that they would shop more if their mobile phone numbers could be kept private, and 44% if mobile payments were more secure, compared to 36% if mobile sites had more features and functionality, and 32% if their mobile devices had a larger screen. Compare the percentage of consumers who fear mobile security (44%) to those who fear sharing financial information online in general (28%). Your job to instill confidence is to overcommunicate the security of your mobile website. I recommend the following:
1. Offer an alternative payment option such as PayPal or Google Checkout (PayPal is more ubiquitous).
2. Title your checkout process "Secure Checkout" instead of "Checkout."
3. Label your checkout button "Secure Checkout" or use a lock icon.
4. Place point-of-action assurances proximal to credit card/financial information entry fields (Verisign badges, links to details of your privacy and security policies).

Alright, Blogosphere friends, I need help! I am hoping that among my reader base there are some experienced nursing Mamas out there who can help me out. I need troubleshooting. The last couple weeks the girls have been eating like crazy and have become very fussy. I know it isn't a milk supply issue as their weight gain is above average for twins, right on track for singles and they have an enormous amount of wet and dirty diapers. I should say upfront my typical nursing style is on demand as needed but from the beginning they have tended to eat in three hour intervals since they were in the NICU for a bit and that is what they had them doing. They are 5 months old now and the doctor advised me to start solids with oatmeal cereal even though for the other kids I waited longer- twins has been a bit different ballgame. So, I have been giving them oatmeal at 6:30 pm before the bedtime routines start and then a very full nursing at 8:30 to make sure they get the fatty hind milk and not just the watery fore milk. They have fresh diapers and are put down to bed. From there I charted last night's activity as I thought, just maybe, in my sleep blurriness I was feeling like I was getting up with them more than I really was. Unfortunately, my foggy memory was accurate and they are eating about 8-10 times in the 10-12 hours they sleep. Maybe from looking at this you could give me some ideas to try? I do not have grandiose ideas of sleeping through the night- just a manageable amount of sleep for a functioning Mama. So, fed and to bed at 8:30, Anna wakes at 11 pm eats on right side, then I change her diaper and feed her more on the right side to give her the hind milk, then back to bed. Ruth wakes at 11:30 eats on the left side and falls asleep. Anna wakes at 2:15 am, eats on the right side and falls asleep. Ruth wakes at 4 am, eats on the left side and falls asleep. Anna wakes at 4:20, finishes on the left side from what Ruth didn't eat and then nurses on the right side and falls asleep. Then Ruth wakes up again at 5:15 am finishes on the right side, falls asleep but not before her crying has woken my older two kiddos up and we are up for the day… I walk through most days in a fog. If I stop for even a moment to eat or nurse I am nodding off. Any help would be appreciated. Oh, and I should mention that I try all other things before nursing at night: pacifier, rocking, check diaper, etc. but if I let them cry any length of time everyone wakes up and then I have to get four kids back to sleep- not fun. Thanks for any ideas! These two cuties thank you as well.

Happy Birthday Mama! January 13, 2012
A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.
– Tenneva Jordan
It is through raising my children that I have come to some small understanding of what it may have been like for my mother to have raised me. My Mama used to joke that she hoped I would have a child just like myself to raise so I would "get it"… Well, I had Aralyn Elizabeth. I both laugh and cry when I hear myself come out of my sweet baby girl's mouth but laughing or crying, I always appreciate my Mama more. I am quite certain that I may have been THE challenge of my mother's lifetime. A bundle of energy and nerves wrapped in stubbornness and sprinkled with sass and 'creativity' and not always the good kind :). How my Mama still has no visible gray hairs is beyond me! But I am grateful everyday that she did not give up on me. I am hopeful everyday that I can somehow repay her efforts. I am blessed everyday as I watch her in her now role as 'Mimi' to my children. Today, on her birthday I wish her every kind of happiness and many more years of the same. Happy Birthday Mama, I love you.
Homespun Holiday January 12, 2012
What a wonderful, blessed Christmas we had! Here are some of the highlights:
I scored this beautiful tree on black friday- next best thing to a real one, most people couldn't tell it was fake!
The REAL garland to give the home a piney smell. Also scored on black friday!
Ara and James loved the tree this year. The ornaments were never in the same place and we had quite a few bite the dust, unfortunately.
Our first fire in the fireplace 🙂
Ara and I strung cranberries to make garland and then juiced the rest.
This year we did quite a bit of holiday baking!
Peppermint Bark chilling in the fridge
Baking Maple Granola for gifts…
Along with 6 dozen cookies: 3 dozen chocolate chip and 3 dozen toffee crunch
Packaged and ready to go and one left for Paul and I to munch on…
We took the kids to see the Christmas train display
Made gifts for our family…
…started to knit the kids stockings… and then decided to let that go this year, maybe next.
What a sweet Christmas it was! Quiet, no places to rush off to, celebrating with family and friends the birth of our Lord.
So grateful for the blessing of God's Son sent to earth and the blessings He continues to send everyday.
I hope you and your family had a very blessed Christmas as well!
What's Cookin' Wednesdays January 11, 2012
Jen's Coconut Muesli
Mix in a bowl a handful or two of oats, a handful of chopped raw walnuts, a handful of raisins or chopped dates, 1/3 banana torn into chunks, and sprinkle with coconut flakes.
You could toast these and drizzle with honey if you wanted more of a dessert but for breakfast, I just toss a handful of coconut flakes on top.
Serve with cold milk of choice. Great with nut milks and coconut milks as well!
Our Home (Part One)
I praise God every day for the gift of this home. Sometimes, I need to pinch myself to realize I'm not dreaming.
So, these aren't the best quality pictures, as all I am working with is my phone camera right now, but they will give you a sense of this wonderful blessing we now call home. Welcome! Come on in. The kitchen is where all the fun happens so we'll start there.My cute son is a bonus :). Next, you have the living room all decked out for Christmas…Next, my kid's favorite room, the playroom… I feel so blessed to have this space to keep the toys out of their rooms! I might have gone a little bit crazy with the pictures on this one but I love that they have this space!This side of the playroom is mostly Ara's domain until the little girls are older. Her dress up, new dollhouse from Mimi and Granddad and kitchen set that Papa made her.This side has the book nook which now hosts a green wooden toy chest for storage and seating, James' shelves, and the millions of baby dolls/stuffed animals in the cradle.James' domain: Trucks and trains galore! A boy has to have some space of his own with all these girls around!There is also a half bath downstairs that I will take pics of later and the upstairs which will be "Our Home" Part Two… TO BE CONTINUED…
