LAS VEGAS -- Smartphones and tablets are quickly becoming the new console of choice for action games, but some players find touchscreen controls uncomfortable because the virtual controls often obstruct the game's view. Enter Fructel, a Swiss company that announced a universal gaming controller called Gametel for Android devices in November. The device works by docking Android smartphones above a video game controller, and, in the process, frees up the screen from distracting touch controls. The Gametel also sports Bluetooth and so can be paired with tablets. Or it can be used to play mobile games on a larger display connected to a smartphone or tablet.
This week the company announced at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show that it is also expanding support to iOS devices as well--including the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, three devices with noted success in mobile games.
Neither the Android nor the iOS version of the Gametel is available for U.S. release yet, but we did get a chance to see the Android version of the device in action tonight at CES. Sony Xperia Play fans may notice a certain similarity between that phone's slide-out design and the Gametel button layout. Fructel tells us that's because some of the controller's designs are based on Sony's concept. The company also shared with us that the Gametel is designed to work with many of the titles developed for the Sony Xperia Play as well. We consider that great news for Android gamers who don't want to saddle themselves with the underwhelming Xperia Play smartphone.
Fructel says the Gametel dock will be released sometime in 2012, and that it will support iOS 4.0 or later as well as verison 3.2 or higher for the iPad. On the Android side of things, the Gametel will work with any device using Android 2.1 or higher. Of course, it's too early for pricing, but we'll be waiting with itchy, button-mashing trigger fingers.

England's Gold Medals
"I used to tell my mom all the time that if I didn't have boobs by the time prom came around, I was not going," Leanne Crow remembers. "I mean, I always envisioned myself in a long dress with cleavage at my prom. Then, a few months before my prom, I went from nothing to a C-cup. They just sprung out and all of a sudden, I had boobs. I prayed pretty hard. My prayers were answered. They grew almost instantly from a C-cup. They just kept growing and growing and growing. And then I went to get…... Read More »

Digital Physical Carrier Illustrations

I have come to appreciate the availability of free graphics with the amount of presentations I have had to put together, particularly over the last six months with teaching as well as presenting as part of my role at the Library. I am a heavy user of the wonderful digital preservation illustrations from Digitalbevaring.dk, which has inspired me to make my own illustrations available under a creative commons licence.
I have put together a small pack containing eight illustrations (with some extra colour variations) of digital physical carriers. This includes a 3.5" floppy disk, 5.25" floppy disk, Apple PowerBook 1400c, CD-ROM, Digital Linear Tape, Jaz Disk, USB drive and Zip Disk.

We have a golf driving range near us that had gone out of business. They have now turned it into a solar farm with acres of solar panels. I am guessing it is more profitable than the driving range business was and certainly is a sustainability initiative.
When our children were old enough to stay home without a baby sitter, they would light up the house like a beacon. We could come home and I think every light was on in the house. It was their security blanket at the time. It made us smile. From a carbon footprint perspective, it was a BIG FOOT on those evenings.
Many people prefer to purchase locally grown food for several reasons. They are supporting local businesses and reducing their carbon footprint at the same time.
Trucks use a lot of fuel and leave a large carbon footprint. Over the years, trucks have been designed to be lighter and more efficient to reduce their fuel usage and be less expensive to operate.
Growing up, we had limited opportunities for candy or chocolate. We could count on it on special occasions, holidays and vacations. Every summer my grandparents would visit and take us to the candy aisle in the grocery store. We could buy a WHOLE BAG of candy - not just a single candy bar. Heavenly!! We always has a terrific visit with them - swimming, hiking and playing games. But the visit was ever so much better with the chocolate. A bonus of the whole thing was they often stayed two weeks so we got to repeat that joy in the candy aisle for two weeks!
I have a lot of engineers and accountants in my family. Despite the profession's reputation, they can be a lot of fun ! That's why when I saw this blog, I had to read it and some of you may have passed it by. It has points that make you stop and think.

Because I had my PS4 changed, I was forced to deactivate all my systems on all my accounts to set the new one as primary. As a result, it was obvious that I wouldn't be able to play Mobile games anymore.
But, after a very long "Please Wait..." screen, first with a blue background, then with the Settings background, rymdkapsel started just fine.
Which is completely illogical, considering I did have to activate my Vita to start Rogue Legacy, a non-PSM game.
No video this time, you have to wait six months before deactivating again. Sorry, ky.

A number of books have been produced recently which seek to harmonize the four Gospels. These efforts have gone beyond sequencing the accounts in parallel columns. They have instead combined the accounts into a single flowing narrative. John MacArthur's One Perfect Life and Johnston Cheney's The Greatest Life are two excellent examples. Such books do not replace the four Gospels, but they serve as a great tool to complement and shed greater light on the originals.
B&H Publishing Group sent me a copy of a new similar effort, but this one has a twist. Like the others, the four Gospels have been combined into a single narrative, but unlike the others, this one has been adapted so that everything is spoken from Jesus' perspective. Thus the book starts out with the following adaptation from John 1:1–5:
Before anything else existed, the Word already was—I am that Word. I was in fellowship with God; in fact, I was God. I was there from the very beginning. Through me God brought everything into existence. Not a single thing was created except that which was created through me. I am the source of all life, and that life has provided light for the human race. The light keeps on shining in the darkness, and the darkness has never been able to put it out.
Jesus, In His Own Words was compiled by Robert H. Mounce. Rather than basing it on an existing translation, he chose to do it as a fresh translation. He seems well qualified for the task, having been involved in the translation of the NIV, the NLT, and the ESV. For this particular effort, he went with a largely paraphrased style of translation, similar to the NLT. While I am not generally a big fan of paraphrases, I think it works well in this personal, story-based context. And while I would take exception to his translational choices in a few areas, I am happy with the majority of it.
Overall, this book is an absolute pleasure to read. The way it all flows together allows the reader to get into the story more than one normally would when reading a single gospel. As with most of these efforts, there are a few areas where I would disagree with the proposed chronology (most notably the combination of the two separate temple cleansings), but all-in-all, I was able to truly enjoy it.
I would definitely recommend Jesus, In His Own Words by Robert H. Mounce. It is available in paperback and Kindle formats.

Our Rector
Luk De Volder came to New Haven from Clermont-Ferrand, France, where he was Rector at Christ Church, having earlier served there since 2005 as Vicar. Christ Church is a parish in the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe, and ministers to expatriate Americans working and living in France. Born and educated in Brussels, Belgium, Luk (pronounced "Luke") is fluent in English, Dutch and French.
Luk served as an ordained priest in the Roman Catholic Church for six years before being received into the Episcopal Church in 2005. He is an eager learner. His study in Theology, spirituality and church leadership has been especially rewarding to him. He earned his Ph.D. in Theology and Liturgy from Catholic University in Louvain, Belgium in 2003.
Luk is married to Tiffany Israel, who is a native of Boston, Mass. Luk and Tiffany are happy to be part of the Trinity family and the greater New Haven community.
Reflecting on both his earlier work at Christ Church and his current experience as Trinity's Rector, Luk notes: "I have learned to be flexible and understand that we are becoming and are not a finished product. This frame of reference has allowed me to see the joy and humor in the process and to be certain that anything I as the Rector or we as a community accomplish is only possible through the beating wings of the Holy Spirit. I have learned to work with passion and strategy, but not to take myself too seriously. There is a great God after all. And the parish grows."

|Condition or disease
|Attention Deficit Disorder With Hyperactivity
|Drug: Methylphenidate transdermal system Drug: Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate Drug: Osmotic-release oral system methylphenidate (OROS MPH) Drug: Mixed amphetamine salts extended release
|Phase 4
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by impulsiveness, hyperactivity, and inattention. It is seen primarily in children and adolescents and is often treated with psychostimulant medications. Osmotic-release oral system (OROS) methylphenidate, brand name Concerta, and mixed amphetamine salts extended release, brand name Adderall XR, are psychostimulant medications that have shown both efficacy (that they can have therapeutic benefits) and effectiveness (that they typically have therapeutic benefits in practice). Two newer psychostimulant medications—lisdexamfetamine dimesylate, brand name Vyvanse, and methylphenidate transdermal system, brand name Daytrana—have shown efficacy but have not been tested for effectiveness, nor have they been tested head-to-head against the older psychostimulants. This study will test the effectiveness, tolerability (lack of side effects), and acceptability (ease of use for patients) of the two newer psychostimulant medications and compare them to each other and to the two older psychostimulants.
Participation in this study will last 6 weeks, although some treatments may continue past the end of the study. At enrollment, participants will undergo a series of baseline evaluations. These will include interviews and assessments of ADHD symptoms, concurrent psychiatric disorders, medical and psychiatric history, family history of mental illness, risk and protective factors, other treatments, treatment expectancy of both the youth and parent, and vital signs. In consultation with their doctors, participants will be allowed to exclude zero, one, or two of the study medications; if they choose to exclude both of the new ADHD medications, they will not able to participate in the study. Participants will then be randomly assigned to one of the treatments they choose to include. They will receive a prescription for the medication and instructions for how to use it from their doctors; the study protocol does not specify a particular treatment regimen. Participants will undergo a second set of evaluations after 6 weeks of treatment or before, if the treatment ends earlier. This will include interviews and assessments similar to those administered at baseline as well as evaluation of any medication side effects.

- Dichotomized Clinical Global Impression-Effectiveness (CGI-E) Scale [ Time Frame: Measured at each participant's last visit, which can occur at or before Week 6 ]The CGI-E is the value at which the participant's Therapeutic Benefit and Adverse Impact to the study drug intersect. This number is determined by combining each participant's scores for the degree of Therapeutic Benefit versus the degree to which problems with Tolerability and/or Acceptability adversely impact the subject. Participants are then determined to be Responders or Non-responders to the study medication. For example, a subject who is very much improved (CGI-I=1) or much improved (CGI-I=2) therapeutically and whose adverse impact rating is none (score 1,5) or mild (score 2,6) will be categorized as a Responder. All others whose adverse impact rating is moderate (score 3,7,11,15)or outweighs therapeutic effect (score 4,8,12,16) will be categorized as Non-responders to study medication. The CGI scores are totaled for each participant and a mean score is calculated. A median total score was calculated for each treatment group.
- Clinical Global Impressions-Improvement (CGI-I) Scale [ Time Frame: Measured at each participant's last visit, which can occur at or before Week 6 ]The CGI-I score at the subject's last study visit at or before Week 6, is one of the 3 secondary endpoints that contribute to the primary endpoint (CGI-E). The CGI-I scale will be used to rate improvement in the subject's condition (benefits) since baseline using the following 7-point scale: 1=very much improved, 2=much improved, 3=minimally improved, 4=not changed, 5=minimally worse, 6=much worse; 7=very much worse.
- Clinical Global Improvements-Acceptability (CGI-A) Scale [ Time Frame: Measured at each participant's last visit, which can occur at or before Week 6 ]The CGI-A score at the subject's last study visit at or before Week 6 is one of the 3 secondary endpoints that contribute to the primary endpoint (CGI-E). The CGI-A will be used to assess the acceptability of the study medication with respect to the subject's experience with the formulation of medication. The 7-point rating for the CGI-A will be: 1=very high acceptability, 2=high acceptability, 3=above average acceptability, 4=average acceptability, 5=low acceptability, 6=very low acceptability, 7=extremely low acceptability

Jean lived comfortably in his small blue shingled house by the Pacific Ocean. His small one bedroomed house was currently being paid off through a series of monthly payments to the bank. The house was one story. Upon entering there was a small coat hanger in the corner with one dark coat hanging on the very top hook. Taking two steps further, Jean or an unfrequented visitor would notice the ability to move in both directions. To the right was a small living room: barren, containing only an old sofa and a small thrifted coffee table. In the back was a kitchen, containing only the essential supplies to make three meals a day for one. To the left, however, was a door that led straight into Jean's bedroom. Almost like a sanitarium, Jean's room contained nothing else but a bed, a book, and a dresser. The book was teal and was titled The German Ideology. In the back corner of Jean's bedroom was a door that led to his bathroom. Completely white in color, the bath only contained a sink, toilet, and a tub. His other hygiene products were neatly stored away in his hidden cupboard behind the mirror. Situated between two large houses and near the corner of Monroe and Fifth, Jean felt that his house lacked a certain luster that was present in the current state of society. Being near the corner of Monroe and Fifth, Jean sat on his porch and could easily view the ongoing traffic. People watching was a hobby of Jeans. He liked to dream of the lives of the people: who they were, how they acted and where they were from. Jean believed that every individual person had a set of characteristics that differentiated each one from the next. However, Jean noticed a common flaw in the development of new and old generations. Each day, following his small, yet substantial breakfast, Jean would to the corner of Monroe and Fifth, walk a block up to get to Sixth Street, and then one across to get to Main. At the corner of Sixth and Main, Jean would enter a small book shop and exactly at 8:15 am, Jean would begin his shift at a small local business: a bookstore. The bookstore was two stories. It contained hundreds of novels, books of poetry, informational, non-fiction, really any book. It was in a bricked building that stood alone and on the outside hung a sign which read The Philosophers. The bookstore was only a couple blocks away from a huge corporation, yet it drew attention due to the new generation's craze to shop locally. This made Jean happy. Although he knew it was only a fad, he loved the attention turned away from the titan corporations to a small local business instead. Jean did not own the bookstore. Although it was offered to him to purchase as he was a long-time employee, Jean could not stand to take on any more debt. He paid his property bills, electricity bills, his water bills, for healthcare, for insurance, and also his house loans. However, it was not the taxes that bothered Jean, he would always manage to scrape buy. He felt sympathetic towards those whom the government could not care for. Following the end of his shift at 4:15 pm, Jean would walk back to Monroe and Fifth, past his house and Down to Ocean and Pacific where he would take an evening stroll until 5:45 pm. Jean always looked forward to his time on the beach. It was peaceful, quiet but not silent, and he would have limited contact with other people. However, every day it grew louder and louder. Jean would try to listen to the waves and the ocean, but instead, he would be interrupted by unprecedented talking and the sound of cameras clicking. Jean liked to live in the moment. When he saw something nice, he would stop, and create a mental note of the moment. Contrary to Jean, the current generations would stop, but take a photo or a video. Eventually, Jean stopped walking on the beach.
Jean, A Common Man

One of the 'big' questions to ask in any poll is what political party the respondent is planning to vote for at the next election and our recent February BIG100 (100 Hour) poll was no exception.
If you read our first report from our Northern Ireland-Wide BIG100 poll covering the big issue of the upcoming European Union referendum then you will have seen that the 'BIG100' ran online, over a 100 hour period, from February 8 to 12 and achieved a huge 3,023 full responses.
After data auditing - i.e. to determine only the genuine 'one-person, one-vote' responses - we considered 2,886 in terms of the final results and analysis. All responses were balanced and weighted to be reflective of Northern Ireland as a whole.
Graph one shows how the results turned out for the question: 'At the NI Assembly election in May 2016 which Political Party are you planning to vote for as a First Preference?'
We followed normal poll presentation standards, and polling best practice, and excluded 'non-voters', i.e. those who said they weren't intending to vote, plus 'don't knows' - as this best reflects a real election situation.
Of course the main benefit of polling on a regular basis is to see the trends up and down - which political parties are improving, and which parties are declining.
We have included our previous poll scores for the political parties (October 2015) as graph two above - so that you can compare.
Compared to last October the party support changes are: DUP +0.8%, Sinn Fein -0.8%, SDLP +0.4%, UUP -0.5%, Alliance +0.6%, TUV +0.3%, UKIP - no change, Green Party +0.2%, NI21 +0.2%, NI Conservatives -0.6%, PUP +0.1%, People-Before-Profit +0.3%, Others/Independents -1.0%.
So we can see that there have been relatively small changes since last October, but a few of the changes are noteworthy.
The UUP advanced by well over 1% point in our previous poll, but this has now been reversed, with the party declining by 0.5% point since last October.
In comparison the DUP has reversed their drop from our October poll, which was a chunky 2% points (ie from 27.8% to 25.8%), and have added 0.8% points from October and are now at 26.6%.
It has to be assumed that a large part of this is due to the DUP's change of leadership from Peter Robinson to Arlene Foster.
Certainly this leadership change has had a big impact on the individual leader ratings scores - report to come.
A leadership change always allows a party to rebrand, and relaunch, and the DUP seem to have made good use of this. This also seems to have applied to the SDLP with their leadership change, albeit in a smaller way.
The UUP should note that a number of the comments picked up from poll respondents during our polling (we record all comments) indicated that some current, as well as potential UUP voters, were confused as to what the UUP's policy was in terms of taking - or not taking - seats on the Northern Ireland Executive, after the May election.
They also seem to be creating an image of indecisiveness around their position on the EU Referendum.
It would be wise for the UUP to clarify their position on both these issues as soon as possible. All polling shows that electorates don't like political parties who dither on decisions - they like to know where politicians stand one way or the other.
The SDLP can be pleased that they've advanced 0.4% points, and that their change of leadership from Alasdair McDonnell to Colum Eastwood has allowed them to do a bit of a relaunch which has given them a small boost.
However, comments picked up from SDLP supporters during our BIG100 said that they thought Eastwood had a low profile since his election as leader, and that they'd like to see more of him in the media.
Sinn Fein have dropped by 0.8% points, perhaps due to the SDLP Leadership change having a small affect, and also People Before Profit advanced 0.3%, which shows that PBP may be eating into Sinn Fein's core vote in north and west Belfast.
The TUV also improved by 0.3% which is a fairly sizable jump for what is a small party - and comments from respondents show that Jim Allister is obviously their main asset.
Interestingly he also receives positive comments from non-TUV poll respondents, indicating perhaps that there is a wide base of people who have a good regard for Allister as a politician, even if they disagree with his politics.
The Alliance and Green parties both recorded poll score increases at 0.6% and 0.2% respectively, showing what is loosely termed the 'middle ground' is gaining some growth.
Again this seems to all be in the Belfast conurbation, and both these parties still have a problem getting traction in rural areas and especially west of the Bann.
Although, quite properly, the results presented here don't include non-voters.
We did note the total non-voter 'no' which was 9%. This is high for an online poll of this type - taking into account respondents only have to click a button, and not travel to a polling station as in a real election.
However, this 'no' is lower than what is was in last October's poll - Perhaps the EU referendum campaign is re-energising some people to re-engage and participate with their vote?
We will be running regular monthly tracker polls with our Northern Ireland opinion panel during the build-up to the Northern Ireland Assembly election and the EU Referendum. So it will be interesting to see the up and down trends of our political parties as election day approaches.
Bill White is managing director of Belfast polling and market research company LucidTalk. You can follow LucidTalk on Twitter: @LucidTalk.
Polling was carried out by Belfast based polling and market research company LucidTalk. The project was carried out online for a period of 100Hours from 4pm Monday February 8, to 8pm Friday February 12, 2016. The project used a combination of participants from the established LucidTalk Opinion Panel (1,200 members) which is balanced by gender, age-group, area of residence, and community background, in order to be demographically representative of Northern Ireland. In addition, a selection of respondents were either invited or volunteered to participate. In total 3,023 completed responses were received and after data auditing 2,886 completed responses were included in the data and results analysis. The data auditing process was carried out to ensure all completed surveys were genuine 'one-person, one-vote' responses.
All data results have been weighted by gender and community background to reflect the demographic composition of Northern Ireland. NB Because the sample is partly based on those who initially self-selected for participation rather than a probability sample, sampling error can be higher than a standard targeted sample poll. All data results produced are accurate to a margin of error of +/-4.0%, at 95% confidence.
In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls. In addition, all surveys and polls may be subject to sources of error, including, but not limited to sampling error, coverage error, and measurement error. All reported margins of sampling error will include the computed design effects for weighting.

The housing industry is working to build neighborhoods and communities that target a very specific demographic — those homeowners who are 55 years or older. The reason for the trend is as simple as the sheer size and purchasing power of the Boomer Generation.
"Each year more than 3.5 million boomers turn 55 years of age, and there are 74.9 million boomers in the U.S. today," said Roger Glover, principal and founder of Cornerstone Homes and its sister building companies, Villa Development and RT Homes. The upshot, Glover said, is that boomers are "the most powerful consumers in the marketplace."
Communities for homeowners who are 55-plus abound in the Richmond area and elsewhere in the country. Glover has developed and built 16 active adult communities, and Cornerstone Homes itself has self-developed eight active adult communities with nearly 1,000 homes in Virginia and North Carolina. Current local projects include the Villas at Ashlake in Chesterfield, an age-restricted (55-plus) community of 82 homes; the Villas at Magnolia Lakes Phase 2, The Cove, in Chester, an age-targeted community of 68 homes; Chickahominy Falls in Hanover County, a farm-centric, age-restricted (55-plus) community of 400 homes; and Barley Woods, an age-restricted (55-plus) community in Fredericksburg of 124 homes.
Age-targeted and age-restricted communities vary in their settings, housing styles and amenities, among other characteristics, but Glover said older homeowners have some chief preferences when searching for the community that is right for them.
"Friendships, health, wellness are at the top of the lists," Glover said.
Homeowners Who Know What They Want
In addition to large communities geared specifically to the older age demographic, Holly Russell, a sales executive with Long & Foster for Viniterra, a development in New Kent with homes, a winery and a golf course, said homeowners 55 and older are increasingly showing an interest in smaller age-targeted neighborhoods planned within larger communities that include homeowners of all ages. Viniterra, for instance, has a new section called The Villas that comprises custom homes on smaller sites and is geared toward older homeowners. The home designs emphasize first-floor living, though Russell said older buyers are not always seeking homes on the small side.
"We've seen the desire by homeowners to 'right-size' but not necessarily downsize," Russell said. "Our custom homes still feature three to four bedrooms with a first-floor master suite. There's particular focus placed on nice outdoor living areas as well."
Russell said working with older homeowners is "thoroughly enjoyable."
"They are very excited about this new chapter in their lives and also very clear on what they want in their new home," she said. In particular, Russell said, "in creating age-targeted communities, we've found that homeowners are looking for diverse amenities, smaller home sites and quality, custom homes."
Active Lifestyles
In any community for older homeowners, offering features that encourage healthy activities is critical.
"Today's age-targeted communities are changing daily to accommodate today's active boomers," Glover said. "They are not yesterday's grandparents."
Russell said outdoor features such as walking trails, paths, and pocket parks are key to any residential development, not just those neighborhoods that are focused on an older generation. One of Viniterra's biggest selling points is The Club at Viniterra, its Rees Jones-designed 18-hole golf course that was ranked No. 5 in the state by Golf Week magazine.
Glover said preferred on-site amenities for age-targeted communities include "walking trails, natural water elements, clubhouse and pool, indoor and outdoor exercise, and, recently, gardening of vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers." Those interests align with trends that indicate older adults are seeking to be more aware of themselves, others, and their surrounding world, he said.
"Boomers have a renewed focus on fitness, wellness, and mindfulness," Glover said.
A Social Focus
For older homeowners, an emphasis on activity aligns with an interest in maintaining engaged social lives.
"Retirees, mainly boomers, are expecting to live where they enjoy a sense of place and truly connect with their neighbors and community," Glover said. "To meet this expectation, communities must be created to meet that purpose and desire."
Russell said older residents appreciate an active social events calendar in their community and see structured opportunities to engage with their neighbors and others to be a draw. Viniterra offers weekly events for its homeowners through partnerships with both the vineyard and the golf course, among other ways of sparking social connections.
Nature's Call
Glover said the role of the outdoors in creating vibrant communities that are both social and active has made an attention to nature an integral part of Cornerstone Homes' design focus. He said Cornerstone hopes "to perfect an enduring, living, and supportive connection between nature and people in these outdoor spaces."
One of the communities Cornerstone Homes currently is constructing is Chickahominy Falls in Hanover County, a farm-centric, age-restricted (55+) community that Glover said is the first "agrihood" of its kind in the area.
A community built around a farm is a natural progression for boomers who show an increasing emphasis on food and a healthy lifestyle, Glover said. In addition, he said, food plays a focal role in many social gatherings.
"Boomers are a social group, no doubt, and food has always been a central theme when any gathering occurs in our clubhouses or individual homes," Glover said. "With the renewed interest in 'farm to table,' we offer community gardens and soon a community built around a living farm. Gathering around food and getting involved in growing the food makes for giving pause in today's busy world. This is where our boomers are at in this stage of their lives."
What Lies Ahead
The development of age-targeted communities shows no signs of slowing. Glover said, "along with millennials, the boomers will be the fastest and predominant segment of the new home market for the next 15 years."
Russell said age-targeted communities for those 55-plus have arrived for good. In fact, she said, she expects they "will only grow in popularity" going forward and developers will continue to create new and innovative ways to appeal to this demographic.
"Plans and amenities will evolve based on this target audience for years to come," Russell said.

If you have additional questions about what to do after your site is live, let our support team know at firstname.lastname@example.com.
What To Do After Your Site Is Live
Once you have completed your basic set up (see our start up guide) You can move forward with making your site "live"
What it means to "go live"
When you click the Launch Your Site link, your site will technically be live. However, unless you've mapped a custom domain to your Placester site, it's unlikely to be found. You'll also be likely to want to wait to launch your site until after your IDX integration is approved and listings from your local MLS are populating your site.
We usually consider a site to be live once the IDX integration and custom domain mapping are completed. You can find out how to request an IDX integration here.
Even if you launch your site before mapping your custom domain, it's unlikely the public will be able to find your site. This is because it will be using the its Placester subdomain address by default. It will be much easier to drive traffic to a site that has a custom domain. The Custom Domains section of our support site can help you find a place to buy a domain, and instructions on how to map that to your Placester site.
Next steps for your site
Once your site is live, there's still work to be done. You may choose to filter your listings to focus on the area work on or feature specific listings on your homepage.
It's a good idea to update your pages and posts to include information about yourself as a realtor, the area you work in, and testimonials about your work. Creating blog posts is a great way to keep your site's visitors up to date with local news and events, as well being a key part of Search Engine Optimization. You can also use the Meta Tags and Meta Descriptions on your home page and on individual pages and posts to help achieve your SEO goals.
If you'd like to drive traffic to your site, and capture leads, you might be interested in our marketing solutions. Placester's Marketing Plays are designed to help set you up to maximize your site's functionality.

This weekend I baked a wedding cake.
The first in a long while. Eight months ago, after much contemplation, fear, and uneasiness, I made the difficult decision to stop running my baking business. A decision I feared making for a really long time, until finally, one warm day last May, while sitting in my wicker chair on my patio, a quiet whisper encouraged me to finally make the decision. It was a whisper from within. A calming whisper in the midst of a tense mind filled with constant anxiety. From that point forward, I stopped accepting new orders.
I thought I would miss it more that I have. It's a decision that has really impacted me in ways that I am still processing. It's been a journey of letting go and finding contentment. One day, I will joyfully share my journey to that decision. But today, I'm still not quite ready.
So for now, I will share these few photos. It's been a while since I have been challenged with a cake, and although I made my decision, doing this cake felt right. It was right. I felt joy as I spent my Friday evening creating it. No, I won't be taking on orders again. But yes, this one felt good.
Here's to finding joy in the little things. The scary things. The things that we don't feel have the capacity to bring us joy any more - but that somehow still manage to surprise us and do.

Mr. {M} was the perfect little model. When discussing his session, his mom knew she wanted to do a little bear cub set, a hammock shot and a football set up. Naturally Sweet Surprises custom-made the cutest little bear cub hat and paws and whipped up a football hat just in time since {M} decided to arrive a little early.
In the newborn photography world, there are a few poses that are actually composites which means two photos are merged together. We tried the froggy pose (facing forward, chin in hands where it looks like they're holding themselves up but actually aren't), but he just wasn't feeling it. We got close! I will only try this pose if absolutely asked because of the extra work and safety that goes into it. And the other pose we really wanted to try was where he would be lying in a "hammock." He wasn't loving it either but we managed to get one shot which turned out beautiful! It is a composite. I only mention so other photographers realize someone's hands were holding him at all times, and I just merged two photos together deleting the hands so it appears he is hanging.
The session couldn't have gone more smoothly thanks to my amazing assistant, Stephanie of Telltales Photography. I wish she could come along to every session I do! And {M}'s parents were incredibly patient and sweet as they watched their sweet baby boy during his first photo shoot.
And since I didn't have a chance to blog {M}'s gorgeous mama's maternity session, here are a few pictures from that as well. We got lucky with amazing weather and such a gorgeous night up at the White Tank Mountains.

The one thing that you have that nobody else has is you. Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision. So write and draw and build and play and dance and live as only you can. – Neil Gaiman
My daughter Emilie has always been a dancer in the same way that I have always been an artist. From the day I signed her up for a Pre-School Combo class at Turning Pointe-A Dance Studio, I knew she had found her true love.
Dance Competitions
Emilie started competing on stage in kindergarten as a Twinkler in the STARS program at the Dance Studio. I distinctly remember the day she said to me, "I want to be a Twinkler, and you can't just BE a Twinkler, you have to be INVITED. Miss Heather invited me." She was five years old. Miss Heather told me to strongly consider the decision before saying "yes." She told me that competitive dance was going to be a long and expensive journey for little Emilie. Seeing that twinkle(er) in her eye, "You have to be invited." How could I deny my little one her dream?
Emilie has danced competitively consistently since that tender age of five. Every year brought a more complex competition schedule and more intense rehearsals. These days she's a junior in high school and she dances six days a week. She's won numerous awards and has leaped higher and danced harder than I ever though any kid could. She's dedicated to her art.
I admire her work ethic.
Most nights we don't eat dinner together, she's at the studio until 9:00pm every night but Thursday when she finishes at 8:00pm. She rehearses most Saturday and Sunday afternoons in competition season as well. In addition to being responsible for the dance studio Facebook Page, this year Emilie is teaching three classes for her new studio Rolann's School of the Dance, where she's grown by leaps and bounds in the last two years.
Getting there from Here
This summer Emilie wants to go to an intensive musical theatre dance program in New York. She wants to spend a couple of weeks in the city where she may choose to attend college for dance. (She's hoping to get a tour of The Juilliard School and catch a Broadway musical while she's up there). Any of you who danced yourselves or have daughters in dance know how expensive the classes, the costumes, the shoes and tights and leotards are. Then add on competition and choreography fees, hotels, meals, flights….it will make your head do pirouettes.
Prints Available
I'm going to try to defray the cost of sending my baby to follow her dream of becoming a performing artist. Some Things I Know is a Paper Painting that I made of her when she was seven years old. The dance was called "Some Things I Know" and it was choreographed and put on stage in front of the judges by Miss Heather, the teacher who was with us from the beginning. For that reason, this painting has a special place in my heart. It was a ballet number, Miss Heather's specialty, it was tender and sweet and made me cry when I saw it on stage for the first time. And every time.
One thing I know is that everyone should be able to follow their dream to be an artist. If you are interested in helping sponsor Emilie's summer intensive dance program in New York City, this print is available in the following sizes. All profits will be put toward her expenses and she will personally acknowledge you. We thank you in advance for your support.
"Some Things I Know" Giclée print $150.00 plus $12 S&H
16×22 gallery wrapped canvas over extra deep stretcher bars
wired and ready to hang
plus a thank you note from Emilie herself.
Follow Your Dreams
She had high hopes and dreams from a young age, don't we all? It takes many of us a lifetime to get back to what we wanted in our hearts from the beginning. This is a story I hear over and over again from women in my Paper Paintings Workshop. Women that never got to follow their dream of being an artist until after their practical career was retired from, their kids were grown, and they had to time to focus on themselves again.
The Garden was conceptually and choreography wise, my favorite small group dance from last competition season. Click here to watch the video

The Convenience of Tele-Health
Technology today in Fairview Village has made it easier for us to overcome challenges within our short days. The hustle and bustle of daily living makes it difficult to manage routines which is important to us namely out health even taking time-off to nurse a sickness or to visit a doctor or dentist can be hard. A two-and half hour visit to the doctor might take away all the time we should be using to work and bring food to the table. Humans have a habit to postpone and put off important tasks such as routine check-ups until something actually compels us. If your life is dictated by schedules and long days of back-to-back meetings then you should be thankful for tele-medicine. Tele-health has taken what we can do with the internet to new heights by enabling patients to get better access to doctors via phone, video or text.
Easy Access
A lot of doctors in Fairview Village subscribe to the network of medical practitioners, who offer tele-health and online consultation services. They are no different from doctors you would see in person but they give patients access and information that goes beyond what conventional doctors do. Usually a service provider links patients with medical practitioners who can deal with specific issues. Medical practitioners are available to give information on available treatment options for various conditions 24/7.
Why would you spend money to consult a doctor in Fairview Village on minor health conditions if there is an easier way that only costs a fraction of a normal consultation fee and does not even need you to leave home? Most people are not aware that there is an effective and cost-efficient way to seek medical help over the internet known as tele-medicine. You can make inquiries about a disease whilst it's at its earliest stages and get the information you need to deal with it. However, in severe cases, you may need to do a one-on one consultation with a doctor who can administer medical tests.
Tele-medicine services in Fairview Village offered include medical advice and answers to medical questions via phone or video from certified doctors 24/7 with no time limits. You can get information on a variety of conditions like colds, allergies, asthma, infections, acne and any other medical condition.

They are usually staffed by nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, front desk receptionists and other professionals aimed at giving you the best service. While there are a few urgent care centers that are hospital-affiliated, most of the centers are independently owned and operated.

The centers treat a wide range of acute medical conditions such as:
· High fever
· Accidents and falls
· Back problems
