You might not understand everything that goes into making a website. Website design can seem difficult if you're not familiar enough with everything it involves. Use the tips shared here and you will be ready to create a great site.
Make sure your website passes a test by NoScript. Download this extension in Firefox and see how your site looks. Some content isn't going to work without using scripts, but you don't want to have a blank site with scripts turned on.
Pay attention to the background of your website. If you have a GIF background that moves, your text may be too hard to read. Select backgrounds that work in harmony with the site, not in competition with it, and visitors will find your material much more accessible and useful.
Speed is critical online, so you have to be certain that your website pages load very quickly. You cannot expect much patience from your visitors. If they are stuck looking at an incomplete page for minutes on end while your content loads, they are quite likely to close your site and find what they're looking for elsewhere.
Make it easy for visitors to your website to scan your content. Many usability tests show that most online visitors do not read everything. They usually only scan for things that interest them. Easily-skimmed articles will make it easier on readers and will entice them to come back another time. You should put the important stuff on top. This all leads to an experience that is more satisfying to your visitors as they can always find what they are looking for quickly and easily.
There are many free programs available to help you develop your website. Many people believe that expensive software is the only way to get things done, but there are multitudes of free tools available to help you get started, and keep your site running. Just perform a simple search and you're sure to find some wonderful tools.
No matter what type of website you design or who the audience is you want to target, always keep the page load time under ten seconds. A well-designed, efficient site should pop up in visitors' browsers in a matter of moments. If the site takes too long to load, you run the risk of losing your audience.
Know your subject. If you're going to use your site to blog or something like that, you must know what you are talking about. Publishing inaccuracies and falsehoods will glean you a bad reputation, causing you to lose readers. Having a thorough understanding of your subject matter is vital to having a successful website.
Apart from the aesthetics of your website, remember that all files included must be small. Your website's loading time is directly affected by the file sizes you have on your site. You want your website to load quickly so visitors won't lose patience with it. You should remember also that some visitors may not use an Internet connection that is high speed. Test your site to make sure that it loads up quickly, even when accessed on a dial up connection.
Use a well known software program that is known for getting the job done to help create a professional looking website. Photoshop or other similar programs, can advance you into a professional arena quickly. If you don't use such a program, it can be difficult and take a lot of time to learn how to design a high-quality site in a hurry.
You don't want to be using frames when you are optimizing your website. Although some users like frames, information inside the frame will not show up when searched. If the search engines can't view this important information, then you're not going to fare well in the search engine rankings. Your ranking is often what determines the number of visitors you have.
Build a feedback-gathering mechanism into a website to gather visitors' opinions. By doing this, if you discover a missing item or if you don't know how to properly utilize your page, it's possible for you to fix it. This lets your visitors feel like they are actively involved in your site and will want to visit again.
Meta Tags
Be sure you're testing your site early and it gets tested on an often basis. You must test its user usability and interaction early so that you can add these aspects to the design later. Improve your site with every chance you get.
Never underestimate the value of great meta tags throughout your website. High quality meta tags assist search engines in understanding the topic of your website. Well-written meta tags will garner the most visitors to your site.
You need to learn some great tricks from experts when you want to build a webpage. Becoming better educated on web design is the best way to build a high-quality site. If you don't spend time learning, you'll never get better.
Make sure your navigation is easy. The length your visitors stay will depend on how you set out your navigation links. In order for visitors to have a pleasant experience, it needs to be easy to navigate and clean-looking.
While you may see other strategies and designs that you like, it is important to remain inventive when you are designing your website. While it's acceptable to modify and expand upon design elements that have appealed to you on other websites, you should strive to create your own unique and innovative techniques. Following this advice with help you to become a talented web designer.
Links should have content with text in them. Your visitors should know exactly what they're heading for when they click on a link. If you have hidden links, users may mistakenly navigate away from the page they were on.
Limit the amount of content you start out with on a given page to small amounts when you first start out. Too much stuff might overwhelm a visitor and cause great confusion when they try to navigate through your website.
If you have a number of website ideas in mind, it is wise to purchase a domain name right away. Show your creativity and choose what you want, but you must reserve it as soon as you can to have it for later. Many people might have the same idea as you. It's like everyone is connected or something similar.
While you may wish to play a large role in the design of your site, it is not necessary to undertake the entire project on your own. Web design incorporates many areas like user interface design, SEO, content creation, graphic design, and web programming. You should never feel embarrassed asking for help when you do not know how to do something. You can hire a professional to help you with any areas that you do not know well.
Classic Text Editor
Your design process will be more successful if you are learning at each step of the way. You should try to learn new aspects of web design all the time. While this may lengthen the process of building your first site or two, you will soon have the knowledge you need to crank out websites much faster.
Development platforms create your code for you, but some of them are not as reliable as a classic text editor. A WYSIWYG editor allows you to drag and drop, cut and paste, and basically create a website as you would a word processing document. To reduce errors, and for actual experience, try using a type of classic text editor.
If you plan to design multiple sites, it is wise for you to learn to work with a number of platforms. PHP, MySQL, and Java will all come in handy in the future if you get into web design. Whether it's working on your own site or helping someone you know get a site off the ground, keep developing yourself into a multifaceted web designer.
Enroll in a periodic website creation newsletter to help you to occasionally re-focus on your website development vision. Web designers can derive great benefits from newsletters, whether they are self-taught amateurs or experienced pros.
Site security is always something you want to consider. If you're handling data on your site like credit card numbers or PayPal accounts, purchasing an SSL certificate is probably in your best interest. Also, investigate any security features that your web host offers.
Photoshop is a program that is well-known, and most understand that they must become proficient with it to have the greatest success in web design. However, many overlook another program called Dreamweaver that is extremely useful for website design also. Do yourself a favor, and familiarize with Dreamweaver and the benefits it can provide.
You should always create a visual sitemap so that you can plan ahead accurately. You'll be able to visualize how your site is growing as you add each new part. This allows you to quickly identify areas of your website that have been overlooked, or could use improvements. Experts agree that a good visual representation is essential for creating a quality site.
Use your friends or colleagues as a source for refreshing your information from the various design elements you use. You need to be sure that the information you have is ingrained and you don't need to find yourself making a site when you suddenly get confused or lost.
Flash is not something you want to use on your site. While Flash can make your website look futuristic and stylish, Flash will lag on slower computers, so not all of your website's visitors will get the user experience that you want them to have. Also, phones, IPads and other handheld devices may not be able to view Flash applications. This could make your site less enjoyable for these users to view, and they might decide not to bother with it.
Task based usability tests are a great way to determine how effective the design of your website is. These tasks involve finding information on your website. A well-designed website will have testers reporting no bugs or complaints. Should the converse be true, you will gain insight from the task to help you find areas of improvement for your website.
You can get inspiration for your website from just about anywhere. For example, the television or even a billboard on the side of the road might give you ideas for your website. Keep looking around for new ideas and you will find inspiration.
If you can, you should include "site searching" on your home page, as well as any other pages. This is very important for making the web site easy to use and accessible. Site searches are easy to make, and the benefits are worth the effort.
It might seem like a trivial matter, but your website logo is something that can make a huge impact on your site's total performance. Your logo has to make you stand out from the crowd, but also convey what you are about. If you have difficulty creating a great logo yourself, get professional assistance.
It is not imperative that you handle all the design elements for your site. You'll need to have an understanding of graphic and UI design, coding, SEO and creation of effective content to create a great website. You shouldn't be ashamed to find help when it's needed. When it comes to those website design areas that you lack expertise in, hiring a specialist or a professional company may be well worth the cost.
Your website should also feature links which allow your visitors to share what they find with their friends on social networking sites. This allows visitors to share information about your site and your product offering with members of their networks.
Web page design is very important, especially in today's technology driven world. People need to provide a great website which satisfies visitors. Having said that, designing websites is a great career option if that is something you enjoy doing.
If you're designing a type of commercial website, don't use a free hosting service. Don't let advertisements detract from the products and services you sell! Purchasing web hosting services is a much better option.
If you website is targeted towards a specific location, think about acquiring a top level domain that is country code specific. This will ensure the domain name in that specific area of the country. A great tool to direct local people to your website when they wouldn't have found it is a ccTLD.
Before you hire anyone to design you a webpage, check into their background. Should they not have references, it is best to avoid using them. This is usually a sign of limited experience or quality.
This article was designed to give you some pointers on the art of web page design. With a couple of basics, you will learn how to turn website design into a fruitful venture. Look at these tips again should you get stuck.
If you've hired a web design professional or firm, paying your bill promptly is crucial. After all, the maintenance of your website is the company's responsibility. When you are in arrears with them, their obligation to handle issues or upkeep on your site is going to be relieved. Paying them on time will make them feel comfortable and eager to help.

With school starting it has definitely been interesting trying to balance everything I want to complete in one day.Somethings are more crucial, like dinner, and somethings are less important, like doing dishes. Aside from that, spending a little time to sew and make things special for the kids is hugely gratifying- and I have to admit I am pretty excited about the upcoming kids clothes week challenge.
I made this little blue and white number for Phia's school colors day. Although her expression might suggest she didn't love it, I think she was just eager to get back to her favorite hobby...
I made this is my usual hap-hazard, improvised manner. The bodice was sized off of a loose fitting button down shirt and then I made the skirt about 5" wider. Here are the pieces you will need to put together this dress:
a. collar x 2
b. sleeves x 2
c. bodice back
d. bodice chest x 2
e. two strips of 3/4" bias to cover the bodice edge
f. skirt x 2
My daughter is usually size 4-5T, so using a large size 5T button down dress shirt, I made a template for the bodice. I measured 3.5" down from the arm pit and decided that that was how long the bodice would be. The skirt was sized to be just a bit wider than the bodice so there wouldn't be too much drape- the back bodice piece I started with was 14.5" wide, so I added 5" to the width. The length is 17", taking into consideration the bottom hem. I made a template using the sleeves from the button down, tapering them to make it a little more feminine, and made the collar based off of a collar pattern from an adult shirt, but made to the approximate length of the neckline once the bodice was assembled. As a note, on all seams I used a zig zag stitch.
1. Assemble the bodice- with right sides facing, sew together the back and chest bodice.
2. Press and topstitch the side and shoulder seams.
3. Assemble the sleeves.
4. Attach the sleeves to the bodice- flip the sleeve so it is right side out, and starting at the sleeve seam and the side seam on the bodice, pin into place, working up towards the shoulder, and then sew together.
5. Sew the 3/4" bias to the edge of the bodice. I aligned mine with the edge right up to the center fold of the bias.
6a. Assemble the collar- sew along the rounded edge.
6b. Turn it out, press it flat, and then fold over the edge about 1/4".
7a. Starting from the edges of the bodice, pin the collar into place. If the collar is too short (less than 1") then you can make tiny pleats with the back neckline. If it is too long, mark the desired length, adjust it and try again.
7b. Make buttonholes or use snaps on the bias edge. I used four buttons on my dress. Pin the buttonhole bias on top of the bias edge that will have the buttons- you can hand stitch this in place as this is how it will be sewn together in step 10.
8. Assemble the skirt- with right sides facing, sew together your skirt.
9. Gather the top skirt edge with elastic thread in your bobbin, sewing 1/4" from the edge.
10. Attach your skirt to your bodice- with right side facing and starting with the side seams, pin the skirt to the bodice. Gently work it around so that the gathers are as even as possible.
11. Finish the dress- flip the dress right side out, press and topstitch the skirt and bodice seam down. Hem your sleeves and skirt bottom and then attach your buttons. Finished!

Blue Anchor
Blue Anchor is a seaside village, in the parish of Old Cleeve, close to Carhampton in the West Somerset district of Somerset, England. The village takes its name from a 17th-century inn;[1] the bay, Blue Anchor Bay, was previously known as Cleeve Bay.[1] The bay and inn were the subjects of a watercolour by JMW Turner in 1818, now in the Lady Lever Gallery, Port Sunlight.[2]
The village marks one end of the Blue Anchor to Lilstock Coast Site of Special Scientific Interest along which the Triassic cliffs have geological interest for the variety of fossils. The coloured alabaster found in the cliffs gave rise to the name of the colour "Watchet Blue".[3]
The village lies on the route of the West Somerset Coast Path and Celtic Way Exmoor Option.
Blue Anchor railway station is a station on the West Somerset Railway, a heritage railway in Somerset. It is situated in the village and houses the museum of the West Somerset Steam Railway Trust.
Within the village is the only example of an updraught brick kiln known to have survived in Somerset.[4] It was built around 1830, supplied by small vessels carrying limestone to the small culm landing,[5] and is now used as a garage. The kiln is thought to have been used until the 1870s when the large-scale production of bricks in Bridgwater rendered small brickyards uneconomic.[6]
Marshwood farmhouse dates from the late 15th century and was originally a manor house or grange. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building.[7]
Coincidentally there is another Blue Anchor Inn directly north across the Bristol Channel in East Aberthaw, The Vale of Glamorgan.[8]

Well this week my YouTube videos have exceeded 80,000 total views. Quite a milestone I think. In all honesty, when I started doing them almost 2 years ago I did it mainly for client reference. It is much easier to point a customer to a video on how to reboot an SBS 2003 server than it is to send them a document or try and explain it over the phone. Since video files are typically large and it is better if they are also streamed I decided that hosting them on YouTube was the optimal option since there was no infrastructure cost and they would always be available and delivered quickly to all customers.
Before long I was starting to receive emails and comments on YouTube that other people were not only watching the videos but that they also found them useful! Wow, the Internet is an amazing place I thought. Inspired by this feedback I created more videos that I though would be of benefit. As the number of videos I uploaded started to grow I began to keep track of their weekly performance via the KPI webpart on my public Sharepoint site (http://supportweb.ciaops.net.au). Each week I track figures like total views, average views, subscribers and so on. Each week I am pleased to say that all these KPI's have been increasing. Although I doubt they will continue on this path in the long run, it does provide some confirmation that people are benefiting in some way from what is produced.
So now it is on towards the 100,000 views mark. Unfortunately, YouTube currently has a limitation of only 10 minutes and thus it is becoming harder and harder to squeeze content into this time frame. I did apply to YouTube to have this limit increased but they said that what I present doesn't meet their criteria to warrant an upgrade. My guess is that I need thousand's of subscribers not hundreds. I know there are other mediums that allow videos of greater length but at the moment YouTube is the premier portal for video broadcasting technology so I'll stay there. Hopefully, one day I'll be able to uploads of greater length allowing me to add deeper content and detail on what I present but for the moment I do what I can in the time frame provided.
So to all those who have subscribed and all those that continue to watch what I have produced – thank you.

Sept. 9, 2013 — The number of patient loans made by San Diego-based lender ClearBalance® has grown 76 percent from last year as the number high-deductible health insurance plans increases.
With high deductibles come high costs to patients, who can't always afford to pay $2,000 or even $10,000 to the hospital up front. Patient financing as offered by ClearBalance helps hospitals recoup costs from patients who can't afford these large hospital bills, preventing default rates which are rampant among high-deductible and self-pay patients.
ClearBalance works with about 450 hospitals around the country, including Sharp HealthCare and Palomar Health locally, and the number is growing.
The number of patients with high-deductible plans is expected to continue rising as state-run health insurance exchanges come online later this year, ClearBalance CEO Mitch Patridge said
"Hospitals aren't geared toward creating a new payment architecture that will fit this influx of new, high-deductible-carrying patients," he said.
ClearBalance has serviced more than 3.3 million patient accounts since it was founded in 1992 and has funded more than $850 million in patient loans, about $350 million of which were in the past three years, Patridge said.
Part of a 'Quiet Revolution'
High-deductible plans — also known as catastrophe plans — are rising in popularity, particularly among employers who want to adhere to new Affordable Care Act guidelines while maintaining their bottom lines. About two-thirds of employers offer such plans, and about a quarter of employees use them, according to a 2013 annual health benefits survey from New York-based consultancy Towers Watson & Co.
Although they offer lower monthly premiums, patients wind up paying thousands of dollars out of pocket. The average high deductible is about $2,000 and can be $10,000 or more. Nevertheless, an August report from the Kaiser Family Foundation indicated that this has helped employers slow the rise in health care premium costs.
"It's part of what I see as a quiet revolution in health insurance, from more comprehensive to less comprehensive, with higher deductibles," Drew Altman, CEO of the Kaiser Family Foundation, said in a teleconference.
Hospital Bill Defaults Cut Sharply
The ClearBalance loan program enables patients to instantly qualify for bank financing for hospital bills, helping health care providers improve their net recovery of patient bills.
"Payment plans set up by hospitals typically default out at 45 percent or greater," Patridge said. "We guarantee results to hospitals of default rates less than 18 percent."
The company makes the payment process much simpler, said Cynthia Burns, registration manager for Palomar Health. For a $5,000 deductible, for example, ClearBalance can slice that payment immediately into up to 72 months, which breaks down to a more palatable — and interest-free — $70 per month. The hospital pays an undisclosed "servicing fee" to ClearBalance in return for receiving the bulk of the patient's bill paid immediately.
The general absence of interest and late fees keeps Palomar patients on board with paying back their loans, Burns said.
Burns said that, upon using ClearBalance, patient bill defaults at Palomar dropped from 41 percent to 11 percent among those who used the financing program. Still, only a small slice of patients use the ClearBalance option; in three years Palomar has registered about 6,000 patients with ClearBalance, generating about $11 million in payments. By comparison, Palomar, which recently built a hospital in Escondido that cost nearly $1 billion, sees about 22,000 inpatients per year.
Sharp HealthCare has also been offering ClearBalance to patients since 2010.
"The economy was taking a downturn, and we saw our patients struggling to make ends meet," said Gerilynn Sevenikar, vice president of patient financial services at Sharp. The system has a 14.9 percent recourse rate among patients using the ClearBalance system, funding about 3,000 patients with about $5.2 million.
"We're now seeing patients with deductibles up to $10,000, who have no way to pay their Sharp bills without help in financing," Sevenikar said. "But with ClearBalance, we're able to make it a win-win — offering a low-cost loan to the patients — and recoup more costs than we might have otherwise."

The 2012 Olympic Games pictograms have been issued.
See the table tennis pictograms here...
Martin Hughes
Owner and Editor
The London Organising Committee of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games have unveiled the pictograms (visual representations) for each Olympic sport which will be used for the 2012 Olympics.
The 38 pictograms (representing all the sports and disciplines at the Games) were used on signage, tickets and field of play, and helped spectators find their way around.
Pictograms were first used at the Olympic Games in 1948 (at the only previous London Summer Olympics), and have become a regular feature of the Olympic Games since 1964 in Tokyo.
^ Top of page ^
So let's take a look at the...
Developed in consultation with each of the International Sporting Federations, the pictograms for the 2012 Olympic Games were designed to be vibrant and accurate depictions of each sporting discipline.
Each pictogram had two different formats:
a silhouette version
for standard use
2012 Olympic Games
TT Pictograms
a dynamic version
for merchandise, posters,
sign posts and wayfinding materials.
^ Top of page ^
So what was the...
The pictograms for London 2012 were designed with the intention of capturing the spirit of the Olympic Games and provide graphics that were more than just signage.
One of the main aims was to convey the speed and power of the athletes, together with the excitement that'll be generated by watching the world's stars in action.
^ Top of page ^
They all originated from...
All the Olympic Games pictograms originated from sporting poses.
The table tennis pictograms are derived from a picture of China's Ma Lin taken during his service action...
...with the dynamic version being inspired by the world famous design used for the London Underground map (below).
This map (above) was the brainchild of Harry Beck, an electrical draughtsman who, in 1933, used his knowledge of circuit diagrams to produce this world famous map.
^ Top of page ^
So what did people say when they were unveiled?...
These pictograms were used to help people navigate London during the 2012 Olympic Games and they've become an enduring image of London 2012.
The following comments were made by dignitaries when they were unveiled...
Mayor of London, Boris Johnson commented...
"These are bold and dynamic images, which capture the energy and colour of the Games.
Each sport is illustrated with graphic simplicity and the way it incorporates the iconic London Underground visual identity is genius.
The designs will add to the pleasure of everyone attending, as well as helping them navigate the city whilst the Games are on."
British Olympic Association Chairman Lord Moynihan said...
"In 2012 Olympic sports and athletes will have a unique opportunity to showcase themselves to the UK and the world and the pictograms will help do that.
They look fantastic and I am confident that they will become a key visual icon of the London 2012 Olympic Games."
IOC Coordination Commission Chairman Denis Oswald said...
"The pictograms of an Olympic Games are a unique link between the host city and the sports involved.
The London 2012 pictograms are a strong and dynamic representation of the 2012 sports and are instantly recognisable as part of London's look
This is particularly true of the dynamic version, which draws its inspiration from the London underground map, forever linking these Games to this great city.
The Olympic summer sports are delighted by these designs and I hope that they will not just help people to find their way to the events but will also encourage young people to try out different Olympic sports as we head towards 2012."

Trump's handlebar mustache-twirling lawyer Ty Cobb is in the headlines for very bad reasons again.
Cobb recently made headlines for berating reporters in the middle of the night and for engaging with internet trolls, but his big mouth apparently carries over from the internet to meatspace.
Cobb reportedly ranted about White House counsel Don McGhan and the Russian interference investigation while sitting at a public restaurant table next to a New York Times reporter.
The friction escalated in recent days after Mr. Cobb was overheard by a reporter for The New York Times discussing the dispute during a lunchtime conversation at a popular Washington steakhouse. Mr. Cobb was heard talking about a White House lawyer he deemed "a McGahn spy" and saying Mr. McGahn had "a couple documents locked in a safe" that he seemed to suggest he wanted access to. He also mentioned a colleague whom he blamed for "some of these earlier leaks," and who he said "tried to push Jared out," meaning Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law and senior adviser, who has been a previous source of dispute for the legal team.
After The Times contacted the White House about the situation, Mr. McGahn privately erupted at Mr. Cobb, according to people informed about the confrontation who asked not to be named describing internal matters. John F. Kelly, the White House chief of staff, sharply reprimanded Mr. Cobb for his indiscretion, the people said.
The "friction" between different elements of Trump's legal team apparently runs far deeper than Ty Cobb accusing McGhan of withholding information or leaking to the media.
The New York Times reports that some White House officials privately say they're worried that their colleagues may be "wearing a wire" to record conversations for special prosecutor Robert Mueller.
That's a very curious paranoia. It seems like something a normal person would not be worried about unless they had reason to believe they may be implicated in the investigation.
Don McGhan appears to be the only legal representative within earshot of Trump that's taking any of this seriously, perhaps because he has a lot to lose. The White House Counsel is not the president's personal lawyer and he is not protected by attorney-client privilege. The consequences for McGhan lying to investigators or withholding evidence would far more severe than the consequences Ty Cobb may face for pulling off his evil Colonel Sanders act at the local steakhouse.

Nausea and Vomiting May Require Medical Attention — Here's Some Advice From the Physicians at UHealth Jackson Urgent Care in Miami, FL
Nausea and vomiting are very common, often caused by the flu (viral gastroenteritis), motion sickness, certain medications, migraines, or the "morning sickness" that is frequently associated with early pregnancy. Usually, the discomfort will clear up on its own within 24-48 hours as the body naturally rids itself of any irritating substances or regains its equilibrium. In the meantime, the board-certified, UHealth – the University of Miami Health System physicians at UHealth Jackson Urgent Care in Miami, FL, generally recommend resting, drinking plenty of water, avoiding strong odors, and eating small portions of bland foods like plain rice, crackers, and gelatin.
With that said, nausea and vomiting can sometimes indicate a more serious underlying issue, so it's best to seek immediate medical attention if the discomfort is severe or persistent. Additionally, gastrointestinal distress that is accompanied by certain symptoms, including chest pains, clammy skin, confusion, or blurred vision, may constitute a medical emergency. For instance, nausea can be indicative of a heart attack, which always warrants an emergency room visit.
Even in non-emergency situations, however, excessive nausea and vomiting can sometimes lead to dehydration, which can become life-threatening if left untreated. Some important signs of dehydration to watch for include:
- Extreme thirst
- Dry mouth
- Infrequent urination
- Dark-colored urine
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
The board-certified, UHealth – the University of Miami Health System physicians at UHealth Jackson Urgent Care in Miami, Florida, can recommend appropriate nausea treatment and vomiting treatment options to help prevent dehydration and provide effective relief.
If you've been experiencing non-emergency nausea and vomiting for more than two days or you are exhibiting signs of dehydration, visit a UHealth Jackson Urgent Care center in Miami, FL. Our team of medical professionals is available during extended hours, and we never require appointments. Just walk in when it's most convenient for you, and we'll have you feeling better in no time.

Phew! Jim Cramer can now breathe a sigh of relief now that the big bad events are behind us. That's what the market did on Friday as Greece, the OPEC meeting and non-farm payroll report were all in the rearview mirror.
Still, Greece remained unresolved. The major fear surrounding this issue is that Greece would default; that concern has just been kicked down the road a few weeks.
Second, OPEC chose to do nothing. No cuts and no increases, which was welcome news for U.S. oil companies.
"The fact is that right now oil seems to be in some sort of equilibrium at a level that is fine for the consumer, and not destructive for the stocks that rallied today," the "Mad Money" host said.
The last big bad event was the employment number, which was insanely strong. In Cramer's opinion it was simply too strong for the market because all it did was stir fears of an imminent rate hike and drive interest rates even higher.
So, with these major events in the past, Cramer focuses on the news for next week. Here is what he will be watching:

Zack and I have sponsored the same boy for 12 years now, through Compassion. I can't say enough good things about them. Honestly, I can't think of a bad thing to say.
Compassion has sent an "experience" around the country and thankfully ended up five minutes from my mother-in-law's house (a couple hours from our home). I decided to take the girls there to give them a look into the lives of far less fortunate kids from around the world.
We often have discussions about what it is like for others in the world and how great we have it here in the states (even our poor and homeless), but this took it to a new level for them, which was the intention.
So, you wear headphones that are connected to an iPhone. There are narrations which guide you through each story – one room equals one part of their life's story. They have a kids version with fewer sound effects and a toned down bit for gory situations. I'm glad we opted for that with the girls.
We learned about a girl (now a woman) from the Philippines, and a boy (now a man) from Kenya. The girls and I both agreed that the story of the girl, Kiwi, will stick with us.
The rooms were set up as authentically as possible (I think they did a great job!).
Of course, we didn't experience the smells that come with poverty, floods, etc. or feel the deep fear children experience in these situations. We didn't have rain pouring down on us through the sags of tarp roofs or holes in the tin roof. We didn't feel the pit of starvation or feel hopeless about what our night or our tomorrow will be.
We did get to have deep meaningful, enlightening conversions on our long drive home, we do have fresh daily outlooks of the blessing we've been given each day, and we will remember those less fortunate in our prayers. It's easy to get focused on only what is close to home when we pray. We don't need a name or a face to pray for someone across the globe…or those in our own town we've never met who are living in crippling conditions.
So glad we didn't back out, save the gas and spare ourselves the long hours on the road.

CC3 Challenge 12: Photo Tinting.
Challenge 12 over at Linda's place is Distress Photo Tinting. You can find all the instructions in Tim's book CC3 on page 41.
This is a photo from Tim's blog...one he used a few years ago for a tag which I downloaded and saved to my PC. This is a good thing as the photo of my Gran aged 4 did not work so well because the colours were much softer and there wasn't enough detail to colour in! I had a lot of fun making this tag and am entering just under the wire for this challenge!
Because we are on on even challenge the sponsor for this time is The Funkie Junkie Boutique and they give a voucher to the value of $25! How generous of them! Then of course there is the prize sponsored by Tim and Mario for the item chosen by the Inspiration team! You gotta be in it to win it! Come join the fun!

Awww...Bella. This is so cute! This is one of my favorite little girl vintage photos. Tim uses her a lot, too. Maybe that is one of the reasons I love her so much. :) Anyway, your tag is awesome. Love the embossed old jalopy. Love the stenciling. Love the flourishes in the deep brown or black color. They really pop off of that brilliant orange-ish background. The ornate plate to the left looks great! Your photo tinting is spot on. It's just a wonderful piece! Thanks for sharing your art with all of us at CC3C. <3 CandyReplyDelete
Wow Bella another amazing piece of artwork - your work is always inspirationalReplyDelete
Well that was a trip down memory lane, I remember that image well. I love how you coloured her, the vibrant colours work so well and your background tag is fabulous! Anne xxReplyDelete

It isn't unusual for UCLA Coach Ben Howland to quote statistics from memory, right down to the decimal point, but this time the reference was pointed.
Asked about UCLA's being eighth in the Pacific 10 Conference in defensive field-goal percentage, Howland cited chapter and verse.
"It's 47.7% in league," he said. "Number 262 nationally on the year, at 45%."
And then, as if even hearing the number rounded off rankled him, he made it more precise: "Point one," he said.
That's 45.1%, and No. 262 out of 330 teams. For a UCLA program rebuilt on defense under Howland, the numbers are particularly hard to stomach. Washington State's 58.8% shooting in its victory over the Bruins on Saturday only swelled the ugly stat.
By contrast, a season ago, the Bruins held teams to 41.8% shooting. But UCLA doesn't have the sort of lock-down perimeter defenders it has had in recent years. Think Arron Afflalo, Russell Westbrook and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute.

Recognizing the historical significance of the 100th anniversary of Korean immigration to the United States.
Mr. ALLEN (for himself, Mr. HELMS, Mr. CAMPBELL, Mr. WARNER, Mr. ALLARD, Mr. INOUYE, Mrs. FEINSTEIN, Mr. BIDEN, Mr. SMITH of Oregon, Mr. GRASSLEY, Mr. SESSIONS, Mr. FITZGERALD, and Mr. GRAMM) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
Whereas missionaries from the United States played a central role in nurturing the political and religious evolution of modern Korea, and directly influenced the early Korean immigration to the United States;
Whereas in December 1902, 56 men, 21 women, and 25 children left Korea and traveled across the Pacific Ocean on the S.S. Gaelic and landed in Honolulu, Hawaii on January 13, 1903;
Whereas the early Korean-American community was united around the common goal of attaining freedom and independence for their colonized mother country;
Whereas members of the early Korean-American community served with distinction in the Armed Forces of the United States during World War I, World War II, and the Korean Conflict;
Whereas on June 25, 1950, Communist North Korea invaded South Korea with approximately 135,000 troops, thereby initiating the involvement of approximately 5,720,000 personnel of the United States Armed Forces who served during the Korean Conflict to defeat the spread of communism in Korea and throughout the world;
Whereas casualties in the United States Armed Forces during the Korean Conflict included 54,260 dead (of whom 33,665 were battle deaths), 92,134 wounded, and 8,176 listed as missing in action or prisoners of war;
Whereas in the early 1950s, thousands of Koreans, fleeing from war, poverty, and desolation, came to the United States seeking opportunities;
Whereas Korean-Americans, like waves of immigrants to the United States before them, have taken root and thrived in the United States through strong family ties, robust community support, and countless hours of hard work;
Whereas Korean immigration to the United States has invigorated business, church, and academic communities in the United States;
Whereas according to the 2000 United States Census, Korean-Americans own and operate 135,571 businesses across the United States that have gross sales and receipts of $46,000,000,000 and employ 333,649 individuals with an annual payroll of $5,800,000,000;
Whereas the contributions of Korean-Americans to the United States include, the invention of the first beating heart operation for coronary artery heart disease, the development of the nectarine, a 4-time Olympic gold medalist, and achievements in engineering, architecture, medicine, acting, singing, sculpture, and writing;
Whereas Korean-Americans play a crucial role in maintaining the strength and vitality of the United States-Korean partnership;
Whereas the United States-Korean partnership helps undergird peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region and provides economic benefits to the people of the United States and Korea and to the rest of the world; and
Whereas beginning in 2003, more than 100 communities throughout the United States will celebrate the 100th anniversary of Korean immigration to the United States: Now, therefore, be it

In 1966 London, the Second Doctor and Jamie watch helplessly as the TARDIS is loaded onto a lorry and driven away from Gatwick Airport. The trail leads them to an antique shop run by Edward Waterfield, who sells Victorian-style antiques that curiously seem as though they were still new. Waterfield is being coerced by the Daleks, who appear in a secret room of his shop through a time machine, and exterminate his mutinous employee Kennedy. Investigating the store, the Doctor and Jamie succumb to a booby trap that gasses them, and are dragged into the time machine by Waterfield.
They wake up to find that they have been transported to 1866, and are in the house of Theodore Maxtible, Waterfield's partner. The two had been trying to invent a time machine using mirrors and static electricity, when the Daleks emerged from their time cabinet. The Daleks then took Waterfield's daughter Victoria hostage and forced Waterfield to travel a century forward in time to lure the Doctor into a trap by stealing the TARDIS. Waterfield is obviously fearful for his daughter's safety and his own, but Maxtible seems to be going along with the Daleks for his own reasons.
The Daleks threaten to destroy the TARDIS unless the Doctor helps them by conducting an experiment to isolate the "Human Factor", the unique qualities of human beings that have allowed them to consistently resist and defeat the Daleks. Once the Doctor has isolated the Human Factor, he will then implant it into three Daleks, which will then become the precursors of a race of "super" Daleks, with the best qualities of humans and Daleks. To that end, the Daleks want the Doctor to test Jamie by sending him to rescue Victoria, who is being kept in the house. The Doctor is strangely co-operative with the Daleks, manipulating Jamie into the rescue mission but not telling him of the nature of the test.
Jamie manages to rescue Victoria, but she is taken prisoner again and transported through the time cabinet. The Doctor, observing how Jamie accomplished the rescue, distils the Human Factor, but continues to harbour suspicions that there is more to the experiment than just this. Once the Human Factor is implanted in the three Daleks, they become completely human in personality and seem almost child-like, although the Doctor says their mentalities will mature quickly. This was the Doctor's intent all along, that the human factor would lead to "human" Daleks that would be friendly to humanity. He christens the three Alpha, Beta and Omega, but they soon return through the time cabinet to Skaro, the Daleks' home planet.
Meanwhile, Waterfield has discovered that Maxtible has betrayed them all to the Daleks, hoping that he will be able to learn the alchemical secret of transmuting base metals into gold. However, Maxtible, who has travelled to Skaro through the mirror cabinet, is discovering just how ruthless the Daleks are and how empty their promises can be; he is tortured for his failure to bring the Doctor to them. Jamie, Waterfield and the Doctor are locked out of the time cabinet, but manage to use the Daleks' own short-range time machine to make the journey to Skaro before a Dalek bomb destroys Maxtible's house.
The trio find their way into the Dalek city and are brought before the imposing Dalek Emperor, who reveals the true reason behind the experiments and the capture of the TARDIS. By isolating the human factor, the Doctor has succeeded in isolating the "Dalek Factor" as well. The Daleks will use the "Dalek Factor" — the qualities that make the Daleks mindless killing machines — to reconvert the "human" Daleks. In addition, the Emperor wants the Doctor to use the TARDIS to spread the Dalek Factor throughout human history, turning all humanity into Daleks. The Doctor knows that the Emperor realises that he would die before complying with this order, and so is concerned about why the Emperor seems so confident.
Maxtible is tricked into walking through an archway that infuses him with the Dalek Factor, mentally turning him into a Dalek. He hypnotises the Doctor and lures him through the arch as well, apparently converting him. However, the Doctor is feigning his conversion, and secretly plants a device on the arch while the Daleks hunt for the three "human" Daleks. As one still remains to be found, the Doctor suggests that all the Daleks be put through the conversion arch so that the "human" Dalek will once again be infused with the Dalek Factor.
As the first batch of Daleks go through the arch, the Doctor frees the others. The arch did not work on the Doctor because it was calibrated for humans, and he is not one. The Doctor has also substituted the Dalek Factor for the Human one on the arch so the Daleks that go through will become "human" and rebel against the Emperor. The Emperor calls out his Black Daleks as the rebellion spreads and the city falls into chaos. Waterfield throws himself in front of a Black Dalek blast meant for the Doctor. The Doctor promises that Victoria will be taken care of, and Waterfield dies content. The Emperor is attacked and exterminated by the "human" Daleks. While the Doctor and his companions escape, Maxtible rushes back into the exploding city, screaming of the everlasting glory of the Dalek race.
The Doctor tells Jamie that they will be taking Victoria along on their travels. Jamie, Victoria and the Doctor watch the Dalek city in flames from the top of a hill as the civil war continues. The Doctor pronounces this as the end of the Daleks — the final end.

"NIDS effectively offers the key that unlocks the treasure chest of manuscript materials in the nation's archival repositories."
Professor John J. McCusker, University of Maryland
Before the publication of NIDS, often the only way researchers could find out what was in an archive or manuscript collection was to travel to the repository. Few of the finding aids prepared by archivists are published. Most are typescripts, obtainable only in certain cases and at considerable expense in time and energy.
By bringing together thousands of finding aids from libraries and archives across the United States and reproducing them on microfiche with a unified index, NIDS gives users unparalleled access to federal, state, academic and other documentary sources.
The specially created index makes locating finding aids easy. To simplify searches a straightforward list of collections compliments a more robust Names and Subject index.
For example, Ralph Waldo Emerson is listed not only under his own papers but is cross-referenced to the papers of Nathaniel Hawthorne, with whom he corresponded. This cross-referencing can uncover rarely noticed connections between events or individuals or ideas.
In allowing researchers to examine actual finding aids, NIDS goes further than either NUCMC or RLIN which offer collection-level descriptions, but do not contain detailed listings of the contents of collections. Moreover, NUCMC excludes National Archives and state archival listings.
The National Inventory of Documentary Sources in the United States is available for continuing subscriptions by individual unit or in two major subsets:
State Archives, State Libraries, State Historical Societies, Academic Libraries, and Other Repositories
This part is published in ten Units per year accompanied by cumulative com indexes in microfiche format. A comprehensive index is also available in ProQuest's ArchiveFinder. The subscription year for the National Inventory of Documentary Sources in the United States runs from January to December. Before 1988, subscriptions were issued in two series, each of fifteen Units. It was then cumulated into a single series and numbered from Unit 16. New subscribers have a choice of purchase plans.
Federal Records
National Archives; Smithsonian Institution Archives; Presidential Libraries: Hoover, Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Ford.
2,054 microfiche, including 1988 supplement and index, in binders.
Manuscript Division, Library of Congress
924 microfiche, including 1988 supplement and index, in binders.

Magazine. Blanq 2010
Jump wishes to create their first brand image involving people with similar philosophies.
With Sung Kang as the spokesperson, BLANQ was selected to create and visualize brand direction and imaging for the campaign lauch. As a brand touching the culture and arts of Asia, BLANQ brings into existence an artwork fusing tradition and modernity, incorporating old Chinese painting style with a current sense of movement, which shows that JUMP is not only stylish, but also active. The slogan expresses that people can "BE DARING..." and JUMP wishes to provide this.
IDENTITY by Jeffrey Wang 王九思
This is a chronicle progression of a woman. A woman who morphs from innocence to struggles, and back to innocence. From a state of purity, when there is no good and bad, to sophistication, which comes with seduction, greed, debauchery amongst all other evils that dominate the world. On the verge of decadence she struggles, for individuality, for virtue, for her own soul. In the end amidst all chaos, she unites with peace of mind, living with a sober fact that she is just one of them, and she can't hide. That is her IDENTITY, whether she likes it or not.

I've had this ready to post for a while and found that I did not publish it! This is the fourth "Frosted Medallions" card I've made to share. A 4 1/2" x 41/2" square card in Rich Razzleberry and gold embossing.
My one regret about this card is that when I sponged Rich Razzlebery ink (ink resist technique) to darken behind the gold heat embossed medallions, the ink dulled the shiny gold. I guess not all colours work well in the ink resist technique.
You know how I like layers, they just seem to add a little something extra to the look of cards. Since this is a monochromatic card, the technique adds even more. The Sweet Sugarplum sparkly ribbon complements the Rich Razzleberry very well, too.
This would make a great note card, all occasion card, large tag on a large gift, and even a subtle contemporary Christmas card.
Happy stamping everyone!

I've also read a lot of books, especially from Jonh Grisham. I love the way he writes.......and there is always this little twist in the denouement of the book. And I made soap.......and a lot of vanilla stuff.........I will come to that in a later post.
I also made a lot of crock pot meals .......to put in the freezer, you know........for those "don't have time to coock"-days........or a lazy Sunday.........like today!
And one of the sad things is......we had to say goodbye to our cat Toepie. Very Sad. We miss her so much..............but life goes on as we all know.
I would like to say a big ""THANK YOU" to Mat for taking care of this blog while I was away.
You're a good friend, Mattie. Thank you.
Now let's get to the more "fun" stuff.............II have a new kit for you and I hope you like it,
because it has caused a lot of problems........I got regularly stuck with this one......lol.
The kit contains 5 overlays, 19 papers, 50 elements and 11 frames.
Anyway.....here are the previews.

'Tis the season for great festivals! Mark your calendar for two of our favorites:
Wine Down the Music Trail - July 5th & 6th
** New this year!Ride the 'no worries' shuttle bus from Roanoke or Blacksburg, and don't even think about who's going to drive! The bus will depart from both Blacksburg and Roanoke at 9 a.m. and will make a one hour stop for brunch and shopping in downtown Floyd, arriving at the wine festival at 11 a.m. Abbott busses will depart at 9am from Tanglewood Mall in Roanoke, and from University Mall in Blacksburg. Shuttles will arrive in downtown Floyd at 10am, and will let passengers off for shopping and dining, departing at 11am for the festival site. Shuttle tickets are $22.
Floyd Fest - July 24th - 27th
While there, check out the Black Dog finds onsite including the Old World Wrought Iron surrounding the beer & wine garden and Garden Statuary. We're planning on setting up booths for both events - more to come on that!
