First things first, both the McLane and Bourdon books give this 11a, so that's what I entered, but I don't see how it can be. After bailing, my partner and I set up a TR and got a little further on moves that that felt closer to 12a, and then still couldn't finish it. The first two thirds of the climb does have feel like 11a and has some very fun, tricky climbing in a curving crack. The final section, protected by three bolts (not the two listed in the books) and seems to have mandatory 5.12 climbing just to clip them. Fortunately, it's possible to climb Health Hazard to the same anchor and TR, or just recover your gear.
On the left side of Penny Lane, about 20 feet right of the Quarryman area. A crack curves up and left with a piton and leads to blank face where three bolts are visible.
Small cams (#1 camalot and smaller) plus three bolts. Shares a two bolt anchor with several routes, including Health Hazard.
Peter, it sounds like you got offroute onto Don't Cross Shorty (12b). Short People continues hard left rather than up past the bolts.
Yes, that's clear to me now. I'll update the description soon, maybe once I go back and finish it properly.

The sixth-sense prosthetic could be used for shoring up the first five: If a tumor damages the visual cortex at the back of the brain, the primary sensory cortex on top—still thought by many neuroscientists to be inalterably hardwired for touch—might be commandeered to process incoming visual signals. The Duke researchers have begun to do similar experiments with howler monkeys.
The device can also explore possibilities for brain enhancement. The rats, Nicolelis says, seemed to be developing a new form of behavior. "The closest I can describe it is to say they were touching light because they don't see the light," he says. "They process this invisible light as a new form of touch. So they change the way they move their heads. They scan the environment with sweeps of the head looking for light and this is not a typical way that animals perceive light. They created an exploratory behavior as a consequence of being able to perceive a new signal."
Future experiments will also assess the possibility of fully developed infrared vision—equipping the brain with the equivalent of night vision goggles that can detect all of the contrast and intensity of the infrared environment. On the to-do list as well are devices that enable the perception of other forms of energy alone or in VISOR-like combination—X rays, magnetic fields or radio waves. "It's pretty interesting to try to understand whether there's a limit, whether the brain is really capable of adapting to combine a huge number of [electromagnetic] energies and altering our perception of world," Nicolelis says.
A "sixth sense" prosthetic is in line with other research from Nicolelis's laboratory that is looking at technologies that will not only correct cognitive defects, but also extend and elaborate on the brain's organic capabilities—the ability to mix sensory perceptions between two rat brains is one possibility (shades of the Vulcan mind meld!). There are also plans for a brain-controlled exoskeleton to allow a handicapped child make the first kick for the 2014 World Cup.
The sixth-sense device might be one small step toward developing and implementing the science of Star Trek. It still may be a while, though, before Nicolelis's extra-sense machine will let a rat shift between parallel universes, as the VISOR did for Lt. Worf in "Parallels," the 163rd episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Blueberry pie goes a long way back for my family and I. Way back 11 years ago when my husband and I had our first date (June 25th) I brought him a homemade blueberry pie. Ryan's birthday was only a few days later so I thought bringing him a blueberry pie that I made would leave a lasting impression.
Well it did and still to this day I bake him a blueberry pie for his birthday. Since way back when I was not diagnosed with Celiac Disease I was able to make him a regular gluten pie. This was actually the first year that I made a gluten free version so we could all eat it.
This crust is NOT casein free, but for those who are only of a gluten free diet this pie crust is incredible! Only needs a few simple items and is pretty easy to work with.
Keep reading for ingredients and directions:
- 4 ounces cream cheese (half a block)
- 2 Tbs butter
- 3/4 cup cornstarch
- salt (pinch)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp guar gum
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
* Since I made a top for this pie – I did two batches of the ingredients in separate bowls so they would be even
- Preheat oven to 400
- Combine all the ingredients in a medium-size bowl. The mixture will seem impossible but just when you think it is not going to work – the crumbly mixture will clump into a ball
- Place the dough on a sheet of wax paper. Cover with another sheet of paper and roll into a large circle.
- Remove the top sheet and turn the dough upside down into a 9-inch pie plate. Carefully remove the remaining sheet of paper. Trim, tuck, and pinch the dough at the edge of the pie plate.
- Pinching the dough between your fingers will help adhere it to the pie plate and reduce the chance of the crust's sipping into the plate during baking.
- Prick the crust all over with a fork to deter air bubbles and slippage.
- Bake for approximately 5 minutes remove and fill with pie filling {ingredients and directions below}
- After pouring in the pie filling – flip the lid onto the pie and trim and press
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes or until golden brown
- Let cool, slice and enjoy!
Pie Filling :
- 2 pints blueberries
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons corn starch
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Rinse the blueberries. Place the blueberries and the remaining ingredients in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Stir well but gently.
- Microwave on high for approximately 7 minutes, stirring gently every 2 minutes or so. The juices should be clear, thickened, and boiling.
- Pour into the pre-baked crust.

If one thing came out of the 2011 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in Philadelphia last week, it's that this is indeed an exciting time for Eastern wrestling.
Penn State, led by three finalists, won the team title, followed by Cornell in second, American in fifth and Lehigh in eighth. For the first time in NCAA history, Eastern teams finished 1-2. Plus, Cornell, American and Lehigh made it three EIWA teams in the top eight spots.

Coming up for air during what has proven to be an extremely busy legislative session!
In addition to the ECS report released today that weighs in on P-20 alignment and education governance, I'd like to direct your attention to a rare state report that very effectively describes the landscape of dual enrollment in Texas. There is generally a dearth of information on who is taking dual enrollment courses in a state, and students' experiences in these courses. However, Research Study of Texas Dual Credit Programs and Courses, published earlier this month, provides an interesting glimpse into what in many cases seems to be the "black box" of dual enrollment participation.
Based on the findings, the authors also provide recommendations for three critical areas related to dual enrollment: providing each student the opportunity to earn 12 semester credit hours of college credit before HS graduation; promoting student access to quality courses; and ensuring efficient state use of resources re: dual credit courses and programs.

Not yet announced by AMD, the Radeon HD 8000 family of graphics cards has already started to creep up courtesy of several e-tail stores who jumped the gun and put up for pre-order an ultrabook (the ASUS VivoBook U38DT-R3001H) equipped with a Radeon HD 8550M. Unfortunately the listings are short on details and only mention that the Radeon HD 8550M (which hopefully isn't a rebranded 7 series card) has 1 GB of memory. In addition to the HD 8550M, ASUS' 1.6 kg ultrabook packs a 13.3-inch (1366 x 768) LED-backlit display, a 1.6 GHz A8-4555M processor, 4 GB of RAM, a 500 GB hard drive, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, B&O ICEPower audio, an SD card reader, three USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI output, and a 6-cell battery providing up to 5 hours of operation. The VivoBook U38DT-R3001H runs Windows 8 and is priced at €799. Source: Ultrabook News
I wonder how good the Radeon 8550M is. Since we're seeing mobile version of the 8000 series, can we expect the desktop version to be release soon?
Today, I use my wife's laptop, also with reduced sized cursor keys. Working in Excel was a complete PITA. Why are some manufacturers shrinking the cursors like that? It's a very Apple thing to do :shadedshu No need for such a big shift or caps lock or tab key. These are RARELY used. Much less than the cursors. Why oh why doesnt a little ergonomics and usage analysis go into a kb design.
Given that the CPU is the A8-4555M processor, the 8550M is likely to be a 6600/6700/7500/7600 rebrand in order to balance the gpu's for hybrid crossfire.
So have a HD8550M and an APU only to waste it on a 1366X768 screen ???? it should at least be 1600X900 and preferably 1080p IPS.
You can optimise either to framerate or resolution, I think most of us will gladly sacrifice the latter for the former especially in games to be released a few years down the road. Also, a nice shiny screen will increase the cost, you will not be seeing €800 with a 1080p screen, closer to €1000
8550M is definitely old architecture, seeing how the A8-4555M uses the old VLIW4 (Northern Islands) GPU with 384 cores, 7600G. I'm just not sure if AMD renamed the 7600G already present in A8-4555M, or if it is an additional discrete chip. Since this is an ultrabook, with low-ish heat capacity and limited PCB space, I'd say it's more likely they're referring to the integrated GPU portion of the APU.
I agree that a 13.3" screen should have a minimum of 1600x900 screen. Save the 1366x768 to 10.1" and smaller screens. For me, though, 1080p is only necessary at 15.6" and higher screen sizes.
This is an ultrabook and shouldn't be designed for intensive gaming. A 1600X900 or 1920X1080p screen would be a lot nicer for movie/HD Video playbacks and neither of these needs more than 30 FPS.
In that case this is not aimed for people like you I am willing to compromise resolution for that extra framerate (seeing that I still play Dota 2 on my current laptop). 1366x768 is not that bad as long as you maintain your distance from the screen. No shit Sherlock, but that's why other options exist for people who want to enjoy glorious hi-res screens. This option is for people like me. I am sure your needs is covered in some other products, but doesn't mean every product out there needs to satisfy your demand.
If 1920x1080 video playback is all you care about then go buy one of the other options with Intel HD Graphics and 1080p screen. The point of THIS thread is for people that actually want to do some gaming, hence the dedicated card. Also, HD content doesn't necessarily look better on a 1080p screen. If it is 720p content, which most streamed stuff is, then it actually looks better on a 1366x768 screen because that results in the least amount of scaling artifacts.
I would just like to note that 1080p IPS will be in full swing next year on smaller laptops. Tablets finally embarrassed laptops enough to push it to be a lot more common and once competition sets in, its likely to be in most mid range laptops. Even the lower mid range.
There's a similar Asus model U38N with Full HD 1080p IPS panel http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Superior_Mobility/U38N/ TOUCH . THE WORLD AT YOUR FINGERTIPS Windows 8 Pro or other editions available AMD® Trinity APU A8-4555M Processor Ultra-thin and ultra-light form factor measures just 6mm at the front Full HD 1080p IPS panel with 178° viewing angles delivers vivid images ASUS SonicMaster technology co-developed with Bang & Olufsen ICEpower® provides you immersive sound quality ASUS VivoBook U38DT should be the budget friendly version with 13.3-inch (1366 x 768) LED-backlit display.
The 8550M uses Graphic Core Next but it is a new die. Radeon HD 7850M / 2 = Radeon HD 8550M 500 -> 900 series are all Graphic Core Next. 500 -> 5 CUs -> 320 ALUs (A6 Kaveri, 8560G) 600 -> 6 CUs -> 384 ALUs (A8 Kaveri, 8660G) 700 -> 6 CUs -> 384 ALUs (A10? Kaveri, 8760G) 800 -> 12 CUs, 16 CUs -> 768 ALUs, 1024 ALUs 900 -> 20 CUs, 24 CUs -> 1,280 ALUs, 1,536 ALUs All of the new GPUs are based on 28-nm HP with straining where the previous generation was 28-nm HPL. There is no 8400/8300/8200/8100 as those are taken by Kaveri A4/Kaveri E2/Jaguar E2/Jaguar E/Jaguar C/Jaguar Z.

Yaay! It's time for Barack Obama's report on the internal investigation into the Blago mess!
Ed Henry sez there were multiple calls between Blago and Rahm! But nothing bad happened in any of these conversations. They are trying to make sure the "seamier side of Chicago politics" does not hurt Obama, "who has obviously focused on a change message."
Oh but remember this is an internal report, not based on transcripts or sworn statements. Is this simply a political gesture? Who the hell is in the situation room, that isn't Wolf Blitzer.
Also, they got rid of "the crawl" and replaced it with... a white box with black text. The text doesn't "crawl" but it changes every ten seconds. It says: "Some skeptical about timing of release of Obama team report." Oh, "some." Good to know.
Also in this post-crawl world the main chyron on the screen keeps changing and the "BREAKING NEWS" tag like wipes on and off every second like they're using fucking BLINK tag. This is even busier than before, we aren't even paying attention to what they're saying, it's terrible. CNN should be arrested. Oh, commercial break. Let's try to read something?
Oh, ok, the Washington Post has a wire story on the report. Incoming General Counsel Greg Craig has a rhyming name, it is hard to say on television. Anyways! Rahm and Valerie Jarrett were "interviewed in connection with the federal investigation into Blagojevich."
Now Paul Begala is on TV talking about infrastructure. BREAKING NEWS! Ed Henry in Hawaii, reading that report! Ed Henry is literally reporting on this from a white sand fucking beach.
The president-elect himself was interviewed last week! On Thursday! There is some news!
Guys the document is literally five pages long why are Ed Henry and some AP reporter the only people reading it. Look, it's online (pdf! look out!), we'll just read it our own damn selves. Sheesh.
Ok, Valerie Jarrett talked with someone from SEIU about the Senate seat, and Blago, and there is this funny bit:
Ms. Jarrett recalls that Mr. Balanoff also told her that the Governor had raised with him the question of whether the Governor might be considered as a possible candidate to head up the Department of Health and Human Services in the new administration. Mr. Balanoff told Ms. Jarrett that he told the Governor that it would never happen. Jarrett concurred.
Lol BURN.
And that is it, for this report, good night, Merry Christmas.

High School Musical 2's Record Breaking Premiere
Zac Efron had a lot to smile about having lunch and reading over a script at Aroma Cafe in Hollywood yesterday. Friday evening's High School Musical 2 premiere was the most watched cable program of all time, bringing in 17.24 million viewers!! Never underestimate the power of kids, tweens and their parents (who secretly love it). Also, Zac's baby blues, shaggy hair and spray tan doesn't hurt. Between HSM and Hairspray, Mr. Efron is quite the commodity these days, isn't he? I'm definitely impressed with all the little HSMers! Methinks we'll be seeing High School Musical 3, 4, 5, 6....
Sunday Double Poll Day! - Is Christina Pregnant or Not?
Seriously, is Christina pregnant or what? There as been speculation of a baby Bratman since the Nicole pregnancy rumors started, but since then Nicole has told the world on television that she is indeed expecting and now shows off her belly everyday. Christina however, remains mum. Her and Jordan have not been hiding out these days but she sure seems to keep us guessing on what is underneath all those loose clothes. What do you think, is Xtina pregnant?
Debra Unveils The Department Of Beautiful Dreams
Debra Messing was the lucky girl who got to unveil the new (and definitely drool-worthy) Saks Fifth Avenue shoe department at their flagship store in NYC on Friday. The 17,500 square foot department (which is bigger than my apartment, by far), houses some of life's little stiletto pleasures and even has its own zip code, 10022-SHOE! Debra was looking far better than she did last week in that little purple dress, but her roots leave a little (or a lot) to be desired. Also, those heels are hot, but you'd think she would have chosen some kicks with a little more pizazz for such a shoe-based honor!

Kate's Not All Tea And Crumpets
Kate Beckinsale was out and about with her little Lily in Santa Monica yesterday. Looks like Lily is still making her way through that Harry Potter book we saw her with last month - or maybe she's letting her mom have a turn with it when she's not kicking butt on the set. Thanks to Underworld, Kate has made a name for herself as a action star, and she recently explained what made her take on the role in the first place. She said,
"This is still a complete riot to me that anyone lets me be in an action movie. Before I did Underworld, every time I walked into a room I would think there was a whiff of crumpets and fine china. If the character was a cop or whatever, it was, 'No, Kate's from England.' "So I just wanted to do something with a little bit more edge and then it took off a little bit more than I thought it would."
It's very cool that Kate is changing the stereotype of what a proper British woman should be like. Luckily, she's also got J.K. Rowling kicking butt in the publishing industry to help support the cause.
Can Too Much Star Power Spoil "Not That Into You"?
Yesterday we told you that Jennifer Aniston had joined the cast of He's Just Not That Into You and now Scarlett has signed on as well. Now don't get us wrong - we love it when many of our favorite stars team up for a film, but this is starting to make us a bit nervous about the fate of the movie. What do you think - can too much star power ruin He's Just Not That Into You?
Hayden Is Getting Her Birthday Party Started Early
Hayden's 18th Birthday isn't until Tuesday, but she's obviously going to milk it for all she can (as she should) starting with a Thursday night dinner at Dolce with friends. And that apparently includes Mario Lopez who has been spending a lot of time with Hayden's mother these days. Hayden was looking pretty in blue again, but her boyfriend Stephen somehow didn't make the pics. Considering how all-out he went to ask his ex-Kristen Cavallari to the prom on Laguna Beach, I have to imagine he's got something great up his sleeve for the Heroes starlet's big day.
More of Hayden and Mario so read more

Nostalgic look at the soccer culture in B.C. in 1974. I grew up idolizing some of the players featured. Steve Djoric was my coach at Columbus FC when I was an 18 year old kid. There is also an interview with Whitecap Glen Johnson. Some of you oldtimers might appreciate it.

Nigella Lawson calls this French bistro food. I call it extraordinarily delicious! The recipe is built around tarragon, it's mild and delicate flavor is the star of the show. Tarragon is often described as being licorice or anise flavored and while the aroma is similar it has a distinct flavor all its own with hints of sweetness and pepper. I don't know of any substitute… [Read more]
Coconut Almond Crusted Chicken with Couscous
Coconut flakes and almonds come together to make the crusty coating on this delicious chicken. The crunchy and slightly sweet coating encases the chicken and to make it tender and juicy. The secret ingredient is curry powder. Just a little touch of it wakes the flavors right up. I had to sneak this one by my family, who 'think' they don't like curry powder. They… [Read more]
Sugar Snap Peas and Sweet Peas with Warm Chile Garlic Vinaigrette
Sugar snap peas and sweet peas collide in a burst of vibrant flavors with a warm garlic and chile pepper vinaigrette. While the peas steam a simple vinaigrette is made by heating olive oil with chopped garlic and Serrano chilies. Red wine vinegar is whisked in and then the whole magnificent concoction is poured over top of the peas along with fresh basil. Equally good… [Read more]
Light Fettuccine Alfredo with Shrimp and Peas
This is a lightened up recipe for Alfredo sauce tossed with Spaghetti, shrimp and Peas. Most alfredo sauces call for using all cream; here I've swapped out some of the cream for whole milk. A little bit of cream goes a long way. This still retains that rich and creamy texture and flavor that I love alfredo for but without the heaviness. Traditional Alfredo sauces… [Read more]
Cottage Pie
This is a recipe for Cottage Pie – akin to Shepherd's Pie the only difference being it's made with beef instead of lamb. It's a one-dish meal that's layered in a casserole: beef first, followed by peas and corn, and then buttery garlic carrot mashed potatoes dolloped over top for the crust. It's English in origin and was made as a way to use up… [Read more]

Background - NWQMS to date
The National Water Quality Management Strategy (NWQMS) is the main mechanism for water quality management in Australia (see Appendix 1). The Strategy was jointly developed in the 1990s by the Agricultural & Resource Management Council of Australia and New Zealand (ARMCANZ) and the Australian and New Zealand Environment & Conservation Council (ANZECC). These two Ministerial Councils are now the Natural Resource Management Ministerial Council (NRMMC) and the Environment Protection and Heritage Council (EPHC). They continue to have responsibility for overseeing implementation of the NWQMS which is carried out by state and territory governments (and others).
The NWQMS and its guideline documents relate to various components of WQ Management and are broken down under the following headings:
- Policies and Process for Water Quality Management
- Water Quality Benchmarks
- Groundwater Management, and
- Guidelines for Diffuse and Point Sources.
The NWQMS document Policies and Principles is based on a strategy of high-status national guidelines with local implementation and emphasises the importance of:
- ecologically sustainable development
- integrated (or total) catchment management, and
- best management practices, including the use of acceptable modern technology and waste minimisation and utilisation.
Fundamental to the relevance and success of the NWQMS is that it provides guidance that can be readily tailored to suit legislative and institutional arrangements across jurisdictions and the specific task being undertaken. Governments have made substantial progress in water quality management, using the NWQMS as a key reference and source of guiding policies and principles.
The process for water quality management starts with the community working in concert with government to develop a management plan for each catchment, aquifer, estuary, coastal water or other waterbody. The plan should take account of all existing and proposed activities and developments; it should contain feasible management options that aim to achieve the environmental values (EVs) that have been agreed for that waterbody. The process is outlined in NWQMS Implementation Guidelines and schematically represented in Figure 1 from a national perspective and in Figure 2 from a specific catchment perspective.
Purpose of this Review of Implementation of the NWQMS
The purpose of this project is to rapidly review implementation of the NWQMS across Australia and New Zealand and recommend a range of suggested actions to DEWHA and the NWQMS contact group for possible future developments to improve its implementation. The project scope does not include assessing the feasibility of the suggested actions.
This report represents one source of information to be used by DEWHA and the NWQMS contact group for their discussions on the need for and extent of a potential review of the NWQMS components.

Nutella cheese cake
I always think that traditional recipes are the best ones…but why not…let's try Nutella Cheese Cake. Ok, not bad at all!! :-)
For the crust:
200g Digestive
90g butter
2 spoons of sugar
For the cream:
450g cream cheese (Philadelphia)
150g Nutella
2 eggs
2 spoons of corn starch
3 spoons of light brown sugar
75ml cream
75 ml milk
1teaspoon of vanilla extract
Put in the mixer the digestive and make them in thin crumbs. Mix them in a bowl with sugar, and melted butter. Put the mixture in a buttered cake pan (26 cm round) and press it to create a firm crust. Put the mould in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until fluffy. Gradually add the sugar, corn starch, vanilla extract, Nutella and then one egg at a time. Finally add cream and milk.
Put the mixture over the crust and put in the oven at 160° for 1 hour and a half, until it reaches a firm consistency.
Then turn off the oven and let the cheese cake inside for half an hour. Then open the oven and let the cheese cake to cool inside for an additional half an hour. Then take it out and let it cool at room temperature. Put the cheese cake in the fridge for at least 6 hours before serving.

I am glad to hear this, so glad.
Shirley Sherrod is going to sue Andrew Breitbart for this racist foolishness.
Ousted Agriculture Department employee Shirley Sherrod said Thursday she will sue a conservative blogger who posted an edited video of her making racially tinged remarks last week.
The edited video posted by Andrew Breitbart on his BigGovernment.com website led Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to ask Sherrod to resign, a decision he reconsidered after seeing the entire video of her March speech to a local NAACP group. In the full speech, Sherrod spoke of racial reconciliation and lessons she learned after initially hesitating to help a white farmer save his home.
She said she doesn't want an apology from Breitbart for posting the video that took her comments out of context, but told a crowd at the National Association of Black Journalists annual convention that she would "definitely sue.''
Vilsack and President Barack Obama later called Sherrod to apologize for her hasty ouster. Vilsack has offered her a new job at the department, which she is still considering.
"I have many, many questions before I can make a decision,'' Sherrod told the group. "I don't know what will happen from this day forward in terms of whether I'll be back in the department or what I'll do.''
E-mails to Breitbart's websites seeking comment were not immediately returned Thursday morning.
Take EVERYTHING you can from him!

She should also find out if she can make a criminal complaint, too. Taking his house and his freedom seems a reasonable trade off.

Live from ISUM2011: Sherry Bastion on Digital Experiences that Build Loyalty
Note: See all my notes from Internet Summit 2011 by clicking here.
Here are my quick and dirty live notes from Sherry Bastion's talk at the ISUM2011 conference on 2011-15-2011. Thanks for a great talk, Sherry!
Apologies for the formatting — this is a crude copy & paste…
Usabillity: Digital Experiences that Build Brand, Loyalty, and Sales
Sherry Bastion, Web Creative Director, Lenovo US
Being the same type of person/brand online as you are offline.
Best brands speak to customer needs
There is no such thing as a neutral exchange — customers who respond to surveys saying "I don't know" or "I don't care" are actually having negative experiences.
Building Brand/Loyalty with a website.
Step 1: Get Noticed.
"Awareness" is how people spread the word about your company/offerings.
Step 2: Spark Interest
Give visitors content they understand, about your product. In the funnel, this is a "consideration" point.
Videos, customer reviews, people talking about your product.
The idea is to cause a transformation, converting a curious browser into a paying customer.
Step 3: Invite Revisits
You got them once, now get them to come back again.
Turn one-time buyers into repeat, lifelong(?) customers.
Step 4: Motivate Advocates
Allegiance: Inspire your best customers to evangelize your products and/or services.
75% of people make a judgment about an organization's credibility based solely on the design of their website.
It takes an average of 50 milliseconds to make that judgment: I hate it, I love it, I don't know what to do.
People respond to trustworthiness — what people are responding to is their expectation of who you are. Does this site engage me in the same way as the thing that brought me here?
There are many different roles in the organization that go into website design — they all touch each other and overlap. It's hard to "stay in your lane" because of that. Writers care about what their words will look like, and designers care about what the pages will say.
Site optimization is something that happens every day. You don't do it once and walk away.
Content, Design, Information Architecture
Even basic formats carry meaning.
Wall of text -> formatted wall of text -> visually designed presentation
Help your users succeed.
As a designer, you're not in control of the experience — the users are. They'll show you by whether they're happy with your site, whether what you did is right but they're the ones driving it, not you. If you don't serve their needs they're not going to continue to be a customer.
Design to evoke an emotional response. (the HOW)
Engage the user with relevant content. (the WHAT)
Make your content findable. (the WHERE; domain of the Information Architects)
Earn a lifetime of loyalty by inspiring & rewarding your best customers (the WHY) - rewards programs, members content, etc. Make them proud to be associated with you.
On a website, the interface IS the brand. Usability becomes the art of making visitors persistent.

That's right, folks.....it's the most wonderful time of the year. Hello, college football season. This girl is crawling on a plane headed to the Happiest Place on Earth (aka Stillwater, Oklahoma) to do it up right.
This was probably made by someone who sat next to me and Loud Oklahoma Girl last season! |
Dear Wes Lunt: I know you're only 18, but if you could play similar to the 28 year old quarterback we had last year, I'd appreciate it. And no pressure or anything, but I talked you up pretty big after the Spring Game, so let's not let me down, mkay? Awesome.
Me and Wes Lunt after the Spring Game |
Dear Oklahoma Girls: You best be rested up, because we have a lot of fun to be had. I'm just saying.
Dear Copper Penny: Not going to lie, I'm concerned about this remodeling rumor I have heard. If things are different, I may have a nervous breakdown. No lie. You can calm me down with a cherry limee. See your lovely walls on Saturday!
Cow photos on the wall and cow crap on the floor... ..no wonder I love this bar |
Dear College Football Season: You have no idea how much I've missed you. You were just about as awesome as you could be last year, but if you'd like to try and top it this year, you just go right ahead.
Big 12 Champs! |
Fiesta Bowl Champs! |
Happy College Football Season to you all! And, of course, Go Pokes!

The Mentalist's Amanda Righetti always has a camera-ready look, even when she's being trailed by snap-happy fans. To crack the code to her makeup mastery, Watch! attended the one-day Paparazzi-Ready Beauty academy by Napoleon Perdis, a celebrity makeup artist who created Napoleon Perdis Cosmetics and NP Set, a line sold exclusively at Target. At the company's flagship boutique in Hollywood, head makeup artist Rebecca Prior led a step-by-step crash course in applying fabulous makeup in a flash. It's time to flaunt a fierce new look.
How to look like gorgeous Mentalist star Amanda Righetti—and be picture perfect for click-worthy moments
1) Prep skin with a primer.
A bridge between skin care and cosmetics, primer helps fill in uneven areas such as large pores and fine lines, so makeup glides on smoother, doesn't cake, stays true to color and lasts longer.
2) Then apply mascara.Yes, even before you apply foundation. "It frames the eyes and gives direction to your makeup," says Prior. "You might be surprised to find that you can get away with just a touch of bronzer and a swipe of lip gloss."
3) Apply foundation before adding concealer
"Your foundation will cover small imperfections, and then you can just conceal where necessary," Prior says. "This way you ensure that you don't over-conceal, and you prevent the concealer from being swept away as you apply foundation."
4) Dot foundation only on your cheeks, chin and nose.
Then blend what's left on your brush from your brows to your hairline. The reason: Your forehead creases with every smile and frown, so anything beyond a sparing touch of makeup will collect in those lines. Plus, your forehead is outside the oil-prone T-zone, so the sheerest layer of coverage is all you need.
5) Apply undereye concealer in a "Hollywood V."
Go from the inner corner of your eye to the outer, with the lowest part of the V directly under the pupil. Blend the concealer from the corners to the middle of that V. Use what's left on the brush to blend under the lower lashes, so you're not over-concealing the area of the eye that creases the most.
5) Use powder after creamy makeup.
When you use foundation, concealer or other. liquid or cream-based makeup, set it with a light veil of translucent pressed powder or a finishing powder. It will absorb excess moisture and leave a smooth finish.
6) Apply bronzer and blush.
Now that your canvas is smooth, start adding color. Sweep bronzer under the cheekbones and out to the temples to add contours to your face. Then, for a pop of dimensional color, apply blush to the apples of your cheeks.
7)Line your lips after applying lipstick. .
You'll still define the shape of your mouth and create a barrier against lipstick bleeding, but the liner will glide on more smoothly than it does on a naked mouth, so you won't be left with visible lip liner. .

PITTSBURGH and BENTONVILLE, Ark. — After providing its products to Rite Aid customers through a co-branded store format for more than a decade, GNC is making its foray into the warehouse club for the first time by offering select private-label products at Sam's Club locations.
GNC's products will boost Sam's Club's current health-and-wellness offerings by extending GNC's specialty retailing brand to mass-market customers.
Prior to this deal, GNC products only were available at GNC-branded stores and Rite Aid. In 1999, Rite Aid and GNC developed the GNC LiveWell store-within-a-store concept, giving the drug store operator's customers an expansive selection of vitamins and supplements, as well as affording GNC the opportunity to extend its brand name beyond the mall stores and strip centers where GNC stores are located.
This month, approximately 400 Sam's Club locations will introduce the 2-lb. container of GNC Pro Performance AMP amplified 100% whey protein, as well as the 1.7-lb. bottle of GNC Total Lean lean shake, a diet product. The products will retail for $18.98 and $22.98, respectively.
"Through this exclusive alliance with GNC, a leader in the nutritional products industry, our Sam's Club members will have access to this high-quality brand of these popular dietary supplements at a great value," said Jill Turner-Mitchael, Sam's Club SVP health and wellness.

Strange New Sea Bass Behavior
While investigating a plane wreck site this past weekend TISIRI's Joe Kistel made a strange observation. He noticed what looked like a partially buried black sea bass that was lying on its side. Kistel assumed this was a dead sea bass that had become buried by scavengers but then noticed the eye exposed was following his (Kistel's) every move. Kistel then thought perhaps the fish was ill as there have been reports of sickly grouper sightings lately and continued on with wreck investigation efforts after taking a few photos. Several minutes later he encountered another sea bass buried the same way in sand and captured a few more photos.
Normally TISIRI divers report encountering sea bass around areas of structure swimming freely but close to the shelter. Witnessing sea bass buried sideways is a first for TISIRI divers. It is not known if this is a normal behavior or not. If anyone has any explanation of this behavior please provide your insight in the comments section below.
4 Responses to "Strange New Sea Bass Behavior"
WOW!! This is weird. Perhaps it is a predatory behavor and they are waiting for a small meal to swim by.
Hiding from big fish… laying eggs???
It might be the low baromic air presure that cause the fish to go as deep to the bottom which will help with air tube inside themself and bring comfort to there body.
Please check and record the barometer before diving and let me know if the fish react different with the alteration of the air presure.Predator escape mechanism. I've seen BSB do it to escape a dominant male that was chasing it. I've witnessed medium sized Scup do it to escape predators.
It's a viable way to hide from predators-which in this case could have been you…

WE ARE CLOSED FOR THE SEASON Mirror Lake Rental Booth: 608-254-4104 |
Welcome to Mirror Lake Boat Rentals
Mirror Lake is a facinating geological area.
The topography consists of sandstone bluffs covered with huge white, red and Norway pines. 90% of the shoreline is owned by the state of Wisconsin and is preserved by our state park system. Because of the narrow waterways and highly porous sandstone, the lake is a restricted "NO WAKE SPEED." It's ideal for novice to experienced canoeists, kayakers, relaxing pontoon trips and fishing.
Mirror Lake Rentals is located just three miles from Wisconsin Dells directly
in Mirror Lake State Park. Entrance fee/sticker is required upon entry to any
state park in Wisconsin.

HBR's Go to Market Tools: Customer Lifetime Value
How much are your customers worth? Has your marketing budget been slashed? Need to figure out the best place to invest your time and effort to reach your growth target? HBR's Go to Market Tool helps calculate your customer's lifetime value, allowing you to prioritize your marketing and product development resources on the customers that will provide the biggest returns. This tool allows you to play around with the levers that determine a customer's lifetime value - providing insight into how to maximize the value each type of customer delivers to your company. The relationships a company has with its customers are one of its most valuable assets, and understanding the value of those customer relationships is key to managing them well over time. But not all customers are created equally, and figuring out how much value each customer adds to your bottom line allows you to be most efficient with your marketing and product development investment. Enter your own data into HBR's Customer Lifetime Value tool to figure out: (1) How much to spend to acquire a new customer, or retain an existing one, (2) What levers you could pull to increase a customer's lifetime value, and by how much, (3) Which customer segments you should target to maximize profits, (4) Which customer segments are dragging down your profitability, and (5) How to increase the value of the customers you already have. HBR's Customer Lifetime Value tool includes: a brief tutorial that walks you through the concepts and calculations; guidance for gathering your own data to plug into the tool; and a pre-designed, yet fully customizable PowerPoint presentation to share your results with your colleagues.

HBR's Go to Market Tools: Market Sizing
GfK Editor
Buying a product has never been easier. Consumers can shop onine, over the phone or via mail order, from home or on the go, and if they want to experience, touch and feel, they can also visit a "real" store. Often, one and the same retailer offers several of these options, and multichannel retailing has become common in most product categories. By offering several channels, retailers are trying to reach more consumer segments and create synergies, with stores acting as billboards for the brand, catalogs providing enticing reminders to buy and the Internet providing an ever-present storefront. But synergies do not arise automatically. Different channels can also cannibalize one another, and it is not always easy to predict which effects will prevail. A recent study took a closer look at the interplay among different retail channels and showed that the short-term effects of store openings can be very different from the long-term sales impact.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
The force behind the fringe going to CBC
Bertram Schneider, the 36-year-old executive producer of the MTC Warehouse and the fringe festival takes up his new post Oct. 20 as a producer on Information Radio, CBC Radio's regional morning program.
"It feels like a logical step for me," Schneider said yesterday during an interview. "I'm coming from one of the most successful and important regional theatres in the country and moving to what I believe is one of the most important national cultural organizations that we have."
He interviewed for the CBC on Friday, after which he was offered the job. Schneider whetted his appetite for the media last March when he quietly did a three-week internship at CBC Radio. John Bertrand, regional director of English radio and television for CBC, said it was an opportunity for both sides to determine whether Schneider and radio were a good fit.
"Bertram has a great track record for creating programming that hooks audiences, that creates a buzz, and that people can connect with," Bertrand said. "That's what we do."
No one at MTC was completely surprised by yesterday's announcement. Schneider's internship had prepared MTC for the possibility of a jump to CBC.
In the short term, the organization needs to find someone to take over the reins of the festivals.
"I'm going to miss his ingenuity and kindred spirit," said MTC artistic director Steven Schipper. "It's not a great time for him to leave, but he has a month to write down all that he's been doing at MTC so we can ask the next person to do the same."
The East Selkirk-born Schneider says he has no experience in radio other than as a listener. He was interested in finding another creative outlet post-MTC and was attracted by the challenges of a new medium. News stories, not arts coverage, will be his focus.
"It's scary as anything," Schneider said. "It's intimidating to make this move."
Schneider leaves MTC after 12 years, rising from the part-time job of poster hanger for MTC in 1991 to Schipper's right-hand man, who oversaw the company's recent success stories at the summer fringe festival and the winter master playwrights festival.
He leaves on top, with the fringe festival setting a sixth consecutive record for ticket sales, a total that narrowly missed topping the perennial leader in Edmonton this year.
"I wasn't going to leave until we were ahead of Edmonton but I had to leave something for my successor," cracked Schneider.
"It's very hard to leave MTC. It's a great place to create art. The people are so committed."
When the former University of Winnipeg student looks back on his MTC term, his festival experiences will stand out as the highlights.
"The master playwrights festival feels like a vibrant thing formed out of thin air," he said. "And, of course the fringe is a phenomena. It seems like the entire city is talking about theatre for a couple of weeks."

After a show stopping first week where two of the judges declared hers was their favourite performance of the week, Sam Bailey will be appearing again on the X Factor tonight.
Gartree prison officer Sam wowed the judges and the audience alike when she appeared on the ITV show last Saturday and performed The Power of Love by Jenifer Rush.
Now Sam will be joining the ten other X Factor hopefuls as they sing their hearts out for votes on tonight's show which starts at 8pm on ITV.
Judge Sharon Osbourne said last week that Sam had "nailed it".
Her fellow contestants in the Over 25s category did not do as well as Lorna Simpson was sent home after losing to Shelley Smith on the sing off last Sunday evening.

Stop Dieting!
Forget the scale, the calorie counting, and forbidden foods. They may be doing more harm than good
Weight loss was not the point of the study; the WHI is evaluating the effect of a low-fat diet on breast and colorectal cancer. "But a major dietary intervention study like this with such modest weight change underscores the dismal track record of failure to find dietary interventions that promote long-term weight loss," says Dansinger. Barbara Howard, president of the MedStar Research Institute, who led the WHI study, sees it differently. She was encouraged that some women increased their servings of fruit and vegetables to five a day, and notes that those were the women who lost the most weight. "It's hard for people to make changes," says Howard. "We need to be realistic in terms of what dietary modifications are possible."
Biology seems to work against long-term weight loss. Michael Rosenbaum, an associate professor of clinical medicine at the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, believed leptin, a hormone secreted by fat cells, might be the culprit causing weight regain after dieting. "When your leptin level is low for you--and it's different for everybody--your body reacts by lowering your energy expenditure, increasing the efficiency of your muscles, and favoring restoration of leptin levels to their usual values," says Rosenbaum. That seems to trigger the weight return.
And there is no evidence that a previously fat body ever becomes accustomed to the drop in leptin. Rosenbaum points to the successful losers in the ongoing National Weight Control Registry, some 5,000 people who have lost 30 pounds or more and maintained the loss for at least a year. Registry participants used every imaginable diet. But maintaining their losses is a major effort. Most eat a low-calorie, low-fat diet, record food intake, and exercise an hour a day or more to override their bodies'biological drive to regain. "A person who maintains even a small degree of weight loss has done an amazing thing," Rosenbaum says. "Evolution favors fatness."
Diet yo-yo. That may be why some research indicates that frequent dieting leads to weight gain. In a 2004 study in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association of 149 obese women, those who had dieted before age 14 were more than twice as likely to have dieted 20 times or more and had the highest BMIs. The vast majority of the women, 79 percent, had not been able to maintain any permanent weight loss, though 9 percent kept off a loss of 20 pounds or more. Joanne Ikeda, a nutrition specialist at the University of California-Berkeley and the lead author of the study, says that these women had become very vulnerable to yo-yo dieting, which often leads to higher permanent weights. "There is a subset of people," says Ikeda, "and we can't identify those people yet, but their bodies become more and more efficient at fat storage and they become less able to take weight off."
Still, neither biology nor yo-yo dieting tells the whole story. Genes also play a role. Older studies of twins estimated that as much as 70 percent of adult body weight is inherited. In a 2004 study, James Romeis, a professor of health services research at St. Louis University, looked at the weight of Vietnam War-era twins who were at normal weight when they entered the military and gained as they grew older. "You end up with about 50 percent of weight gain or weight change being genetically influenced," Romeis says. "So, if you were born with the genes that contribute to weight gain, then you've got to work doubly hard to take it off."

JDSU Announces Proposed $575 Million Of Senior Convertible Notes And Common Stock Repurchase
MILPITAS, Calif., August 15, 2013 -- JDSU (NASDAQ: JDSU and TSX: JDU) ("JDSU") today announced that it plans to offer, subject to market and other conditions, up to $575 million principal amount of its Senior Convertible Debentures due 2033 (the "notes") through a private offering to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. JDSU expects to grant the initial purchasers a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $75 million principal amount of additional notes, exercisable for 30 days after the pricing date of the notes offering.
The interest rate, initial conversion rate and other terms of the notes will be determined by negotiations between JDSU and the initial purchasers of the notes.In certain circumstances and during certain periods, the notes may be converted at the option of holders into cash up to their principal amount, and into shares of JDSU common stock, cash or a combination thereof at JDSU's election for the conversion value above the principal amount, if any.
JDSU plans to use up to $100 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the notes to repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock in privately negotiated, transactions, which may be effected through one or more of the initial purchasers of the notes or their respective affiliates, concurrently with the consummation of the offering. The remaining net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes including potential strategic transactions.
Contingent and effective upon the closing of the offer and sale of the notes, JDSU intends to terminate its existing $250 million revolving credit facility, which currently has no amounts outstanding.
The notes and any JDSU common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under any state securities law, and may not be offered or sold without registration under, or an applicable exemption from, the registration requirements. This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell, nor is it a solicitation of an offer to buy, these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any state or any jurisdiction. Any offer, if at all, will be made only pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

Break up SMS messages collection in english
Break up SMS Messages Collection
Why can't we get all the people together
in the world that we really like and then
just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work.
Someone would leave. Someone always leaves.
Then we would have to say good-bye.
I hate good-byes. I know what I need. I need more hellos.
Once A Guy who recently had a breakup with Her girl friend
was asked
Have you left your girl friend
she left you?
He smiled & answered.
Love Left Us
I Will Wait ..
Till The Day
"I" Can Forget "You" ..
The Day
You Realize
"You" Cannot Forget "Me" ..
I Woke Up This Morning
Just Befo' The Break Of Day.
I Was Bitter, Blue And Black, Lawd.
There Ain't Nothing Else To Say.
Have I told you littey
how much I am in love with you???
Think about it,
have a great life…
Relationships Are Like Glass …
Sometimes It's Better To Leave
Them Broken Than Try To Hurt
Yourself Putting It Back Together …
There's One Sad Truth In Life I've Found
While Journeying East And West -
The Only Folks We Really Wound
Are Those We Love The Best.
I hate her!!! By the sea I saw her stand all alone,
I saw my fade shadow next to her.
What was I whispering to her?
I wish I knew me better,
My memories are fading, as I am dying,
My memories are fading, but why is that sweet heart,
I still have her memories
OncE A Guy wHo recenTLy hAd a brEaKoff with Her giRL friend
was aSkEd ….HAv U leFt uR girL frieNd or sHe left u???
He smileD And answerED..
L0vE LefT us!!!
It takes a strong heart to love.
It takes a stronger heart to continue to love after it has been hurt…
Time, Health, Friends and Relations,
Do not come with a price tag,
But when we lost them,
We Realize the cost.
So, Treat them carefully.
Girl:I Did Something Really Stupid..
Boy: What?
Girl: Trusted You
You Hurt me more than what i deserve..
Is it just because i loved you more than what you deserve…
Sweetheart, I was born the day I met U….
and died the day U left me…
Love marriages are never success
Cuz they never had a pain
Marriages are made in heaven
Thats true! Cuz i had failed.
