Is it your goal to be a productive web designer? Are there many goals on your plate, but your lack of knowledge in web page design is keeping you from them? If you said "Yes," this article will help you get started.
Join online forums to learn even more about web design. A quick online search can help you find a lot of great information.
Keep your eyes open for web design information, you never know where you will find it. Performing a simple web search can provide you with the information you are interested in at no cost to you.
Do not utilize pop-ups. This is one of those most hated marketing tactics on the web! Many people will leave a site that has pop-ups, even the big sites. Keep your customers happy, by steering clear of these annoying ads. If the pop-ups are coming about because of your host, then now is the time to start shopping for a replacement.
Understand what you want your site to do. Good research will help you to create the ideal site. Providing bad information will only lose you readers. To have a good blog, knowing about the subject is crucial.
Always keep your opening page simple. The look of your front page will help people determine if they want to stay on your site or leave it. Be descriptive when you talk about your business and what you offer that is unique, but keep other information minimal to avoid your visitors getting distracted.
Always provide site visitors with an option to offer feedback. This will give you a mechanism where your visitors can let you know if something is broken, doesn't work as well as it should or is confusing. One way to make sure that visitors re-visit you site is to give them a feeling of involvement.
You can use some free software to help set up your site. Oftentimes, people erroneously believe that shareware is inefficient for certain tasks. However, there are many free programs designed to help you keep your website neat and current. Do some searching and you'll find some excellent free tools to use.
Gather knowledge from online resources when making your first website. When you learn all you can about webdesign from experts, you will be able to quickly build a site of your own. Your website will not be designed properly and folks probably won't want to be view it.
The content that appears on your site should be compelling and interesting. People ultimately visit your site more for the content than for the glitzy design. When the content on your site is useful to your visitors, they are much more likely to return to your site.
It is likely that you are going to run across interesting designs and techniques on other websites, but it is critical that you use your creativity when designing your own website. Come up with features of your own, and enhance ones that you have found elsewhere. Taking this step is sure to help you maximize your efforts in website design.
Take the time to actually use your site as you are building it. It is essential to do usability tests early in the developing phase. Make sure you continue to test it as you grow and improve your site.
If you are just starting out in web design, use a simple template for your layout, then modify it with your own code. You are going to want to begin with the basics and then move on and become advanced later when you are better and become more accustomed with the web design process.
Like so many skills, website design can be improved through patient, consistent practice. So, start a few pages with C++ and HTML to check whether you understand the basics. It's never too late to start practicing, so start today.
Remember that you don't have to spend a lot of money to design your website. For each tool that costs a great deal of money, there is a second tool that is beneficial and will not cost as much. For example, you can use free software to help you create websites and add design elements to all your pages. Open source software usually does the same things as paid software. Taking the open source software plunge can definitely keep costs in check.
Always avoid placing pop-up advertisements on your site. While PPC advertising might be a beneficial endeavor, annoying pop-up ads should definitely be avoided. It will end up driving visitors away instead of getting them to read and click. Keep the ads simple since you don't need any wild pop-ups.
Keep the levels of literacy in mind when you are writing your content. Some of your site's visitors may be quite young, and they will not have a college-level reading skill yet. To build an audience, your visitors need to be able to comprehend the information you're publishing.
Go ahead and invest into some books, that can assist you with learning how to become a successful web designer. Stick to books for beginning web designers until you've mastered the basics, so that you won't miss anything you need to know as you study web page design.
Don't purchase literature on web design. While a book can be a good investment, it may not be necessary. There have been many great books written about web design. However you can usually find all of this information online for free. A lot of the free info is just as useful as what you'll pay for.
Try reading online for some valuable information on creating your first website. You have the power to educate yourself for free on the subject of web page design. If you don't spend time learning, you'll never get better.
If you plan to design multiple sites, it is wise for you to learn to work with a number of platforms. Knowing MySQL, Java, PHI and more will benefit you in the future. Whether you are building a brand-new site or revamping an old one, diversifying your skill set.
It's important to do your research about website design. You need to understand your target audience. Think of a variety of ways you can effectively cater your website to your audience. This will make your design efforts more efficient.
In order to become a renowned web designer, you first need to become a great artist. To become an artist, you need to learn how to appreciate the beauty of everything that surrounds you, and you need to learn how to take inspiration from this beauty. If you are out having dinner, for example, and you have a flash of inspiration, then write it down. If something comes up at work, call yourself and leave a message on your phone so you'll remember it later.
When you are wanting to host particular videos on your website, you are going to have to check with that particular web host so you are able to know if it's allowed or not. Some hosts do not permit videos to be hosted on their servers. The FLV files are big and take up a lot of space on servers, so check to make sure it is allowed before wasting your efforts.
In order to become a fantastic website designer, remember to learn as much as you can from others with experience. This is key so you know all different types of web design styles so you have many skills for every type of website.
If you are creating multiple pages for your website, you should take advantage of your operating system's copy/paste functions. When you can re-use pre-existing code with only a few minor tweaks in each different page, generating all-new HTML code over and over is a waste of time. You can re-use a single "master" set of code to churn out a virtually unlimited number of pages.
Think things over very carefully before adding Flash content to your website. Flash can slow down visitors' computers, and make them unlikely to want to stay on your site. In addition, some tablets and cell phones are not Flash-enabled, which can make it difficult for these types of visitors to enjoy your website.
Each time you make a change to your site, look at your statistics. You will know who visits your website and which pages they like the most. This provides you with information regarding where to make the most effective updates to encourage return visits.
Make your interface tools as easy-to-use and as consistent as possible. Keep text that is underlined clickable. People are more likely to stay on your page for awhile and come back to it if it's consistent and user-friendly.
Website Development
Don't overlook the power of inspiration from unusual sources in your website design. You can also get ideas from other sources such as magazines and TV. You want to always be on the lookout for new inspiration because you may just stumble across something that will help your site become very popular with your visitors.
Testing for accessibility is one of the most important parts of website development. Ideally, you should test your website development in several different parts of the world. Some things may not look right in another country, so this is what you should really be checking on.
Be sure your logo appears in the heading of every page. You can link every page with a logo and turn your site into one entity. Visitors to your website will build brand recognition. Utilize a logo that lets people know what your business is about.
The first thing you want to ensure is on your site is the always loved site map. Website maps usually perform two important purposes. They make your website easily understandable, first of all. People can find what they're searching for easily. Secondly, it is a good tool for SEO, or search engine optimization. Search engines find it easier to locate your site and "crawl" it.
Make sure all your links are updated, and working properly. Broken links lead to frustration, anger, and a lack of trust by your reader. You should conduct a regular maintenance check on all of your site's links to verify they are working properly.
Much sure you allocate a little time each day for your website development. You should spend a lot of time in order to get work done, rather than simply working only a little bit at a time. When you work hard on your sites as you progress you also help yourself retain information as well.
Prompt bill payment is essential if you rely on outside consultants or companies to meet your web design needs. After all, this company is keeping your site up and running. If anything comes up you'll find that they won't be willing to help you until you pay your debts, leaving your website unavailable or worse. Building rapport with your designer will ensure that they're willing to help you when any situation arises.
Your logo should be present on each page, easily found at the top. This leads to a coherent recognition of your website. It helps to create brand recognition for those that visit your site. Try to use a great logo that expresses what your business is about.
Always make sure that you hire a company who has at least a few years experience in web design. New companies may not be the best at what they do. The best way to get around your newness is to hire a company that is well-skilled in web design.
Error check, or validate, your web pages to avoid problems. Avoid using a what you see is what you get editor for validating you website designs. If you use a WYSIWYG editor, go the extra mile and validate your site code through a service. The World WIde Web Consortium (W3C) offers a free service to validate pages.
When hiring a professional for web design, find one that takes payments over time rather than taking payment as one lump sum. That gives you leverage to ensure they do good work for you or else lose your business.
Now that you've learned some basic website design tips, are you a bit more confident in your skills? If not, then read this article again until you feel like you can build one.
An attractive, easy-to-use website should be your goal. If visitors are having trouble navigating or just feel uncomfortable viewing your pages, they may leave soon after they have visited. If you have a lot of complicated content on your website, also add summaries for visitors who just want to know the basics.

How a network link works
The network link is a single placemark that points to a (usually) larger set of placemarks that reside on a network server somewhere. When you open the placemark initially, you'll see both a right-pointing arrow and a check box. If you click the right-pointing arrow, the placemark will fetch the rest of it's branch from the network, and the arrow will change to a down-pointing arrow.
If you only see a checkbox next to the network link placemark, then check it to fetch the rest of the placemark branch.
You can then expand the branch to get to the individual placemark you want, then check the box next to it to make it live. If the placemark is an overlay placemark, the overlay image will be downloaded and displayed in GE. If you double-click the placemark name, you'll be taken to the placemark's location.

Animal Welfare in New Caledonia
The Down Under Rally are proud supporters of the development of programmes that are targeted at providing animal welfare services in New Caledonia.
Who is responsible for raising awareness about the plight of Animals in New Caledonia ?
Ana & Brent of Cat Impi have been at sea for 6 years now and have sailed more than halfway around the world.
Those who follow Cat Impi will know of their involvement with animal welfare and care solutions in New Caledonia, the project having been started as a result of their followers on You Tube funding the medical costs to help to 'Moose', the abandoned island dog.
Now it is time for"Operation Dog"
Operation Dog" is a program to control the dog population on the island in a humane manner.
Of all the places Brent & Ana have visited in their travels they say the 'Ile Des Pins' in New Caledonia is the jewel in the crown of the best islands to be found anywhere in the world and we support their sentiments.
Sadly however the "Ile Des Pins" is not paradise for the dogs who live on the island. The local folks do not have the means to control their numbers through medical resolve, so puppies are often drowned, dogs driven over and annual shooting events are techniques employed.
Initially one is inclined to judge the local people as a result of these actions however it soon becomes obvious that due to a lack of finances the people have little to no means for providing medical assistance. "Operation Dog" is about obtaining the funding needed to provide this medical assistance.
The goal of "Operation Dog" is to prevent the suffering of these animals, reduce the stress on the inhabitants of the island who suffer as a result of seeing their animals suffer.
Operation Dog" is a program to control the dog population on the island in a humane manner.
Down Under Donation
In 2018 $40.00 from each Go East rally registration fee we receive will be donated to Operation Dog !
In the video below Brent & Ana of Cat Impi join forces with the flying and sailing vet, Guy Kane, for the first ever operation to sterilise dogs taking place on Ile Des Pins.
You can help too !
If you would like to support "Operation Dog" by donating just a few dollars, as little as $2 or even maybe $5, you will be making it possible to help the local folks on these islands to be better able to turn the plight of these animals around.

Why travel to Puma Punku in Bolivia
What can you see at Puma Punku
Puma Punku is part of Tiahuanaku complex and it lies between La Paz and The Lake Titikaka. We are talking about huge, precise cut blocks of stone, brought to Puma Punku on the Altiplano in Bolivia hundred or maybe thousands of years ago. Some scientists believe that the incredible ruins of Puma Punku in Bolivia are even 17.000 years old. No theory is officialy accepted about what theese ruins are, how were they got there and what the purpose of this mysterious construction was. The technology used by our ancestors to built such a huge complex(see photo) is still a mystery.
One block of stone here in Puma Punku was estimated to be 440 tons weight. The others laying about are even 150 tons. All of them are masterpieces from any modern builder's point of view. Power machines were allowed to anyone at about 500 B.C. when this complex was built. If it is 500 B.C. Other scholars consider 2000 B.C. more realistic. On the other hand, some scholars believe the enormous structure of Puma Punku was the victim of a terrible earthquake or a flood humanity had never seen before. But nobody knows for sure when this disaster took place. Especially when we think that in 1945, an archeologist, Arthur Posnansky proposed that this megalithic structure was buit in 17.000 B.C. He proposed this after taking into account the position of the stars in that very moment and the position of the temple or what unknown people had built at Puma Punku.
History of Puma Punku
The history of Puma Punku begins in 1945. It was the moment when scholars truly recorded Puma Punku as a mystery. And it was after Arthur Posnansky said that the history of Puma Punku does not belong, actually, to our official civilization. After searching for evidences for more than 30 years, the archeologist said that Puma Punku and its amazing past goes back to more than 17.000 years ago.
And more than that, he said the entire area was in fact a harbour for the Titikaka Lake, while Puma Punku was a promontory on the island Tiahuanaku belonged to or was its center and capital. Some scholars say that the area was in fact an island since the Lake Titikaka was 30 meters deeper than it is today. They found in the ground near Puma Punku skeletons of fish and also of human beings. Their conclusion was, according to Arthur Posnasky that a tsunami coming from the Lake Titikaka and a devastating earthquake destroyed what Puma Punku and its history were.
Yet, the official history of Puma Punku and Tiahuanaku begins in 1549 when the Spanish conquistadors and their leader, Pedro Cieza de Leon discovered the place. They were looking for gold. Legends say they found out that the place was built by gods in one night and not by Inca. In modern times, scholars believe that the area was abandoned at about 1000 A.D. It is also believed that Puma Punku is older than Tiahuanaku which was built as a pilgrimage gate to "The Door of the Puma"(Puma Punku, about 300 m nearby), the place where gods came on Earth for the first time. The Bolivian Gouvernment started excavations in 1960(see photo).
Archeologists are still working to discover more and more of what seems to have been a gigantic temple here, at Puma Punku, in Bolivia.
Who built this strange structure?
Inca people say gods built Puma Punku in one night and not them, nor their ancestors. To build in one night a lot of blocks of stone like those inPuma Punku is like building an amazing puzzle. Or, perhaps, this is the riddle about the place.
Lots of identical structures made of diorite, which cannot be cut by any ancient tools! The hardness of diorite is 8 of 10 and can be cut only by diamond. The inhabitants are talking about a god called Viracocha. The name of this god believed to havebuilt Puma Punku in Bolivia in one night means sea foam. Other scholars believe that he is, in fact, the one who came from a vulcano as his name suggests. Yet, we are talking about incredible, huge structures built as though a mobile modern factory was there. The nearby Tiahuanaku could have been reconstructed. Puma Punku has not got that chance simply because we found here structures that cannot be moved for they are too heavy. Our technology doesn't allow this. So, who could have built this place in one night?
Recently we found out that a Chinese company can build houses in only 2 hours. They are using 3D printers. This might be an explanation which can change history. Might this be the explanation? But if so, who had thousands of years ago the technology to make such things?
Nowadays technology to build identical blocks
Puma Punku
Is Bolivia safe for tourists?
Looking back in time Bolivia was not safe at all to travel to until 1990, due to the poverty of the majority of population and to the drugs war. In fact, that was the time when the coca cultivation was moved by cartels to Colombia. Bolivia was not safe to travel to because of political war, too many coup d'etat and too many military interventions in the state issues. President Evo Morales, elected in 2008 decided it was time for the drugs, tin and silver mining oligarchies to stop. He even bought Russian helicopters in order to fight against theese crime structures.
And, although, Evo Morales policy was to bring back the '50 revolutionary ideeas by a land reform and the nationalization of industry and natural resources, he also invited the Indian population, the real owner of Bolivia to government structures. All theese made Bolivia a safe place to travel to now. In 2007, the opposition tried to get Morales down from office by a referendum. They did not succeed and the president said again : ,,They can drag me from the palace. They can kill me. Mission accomplished for the re-funding of the new united Bolivia"(Skidmore&Smith - Modern Latin America). According to the US Departament of State, most major cities in Bolivia have medium threat ratings for crime. Only Santa Cruz is high. Yet, the crime rate in Bolivia is the lowest in South America and comparable to cities in the United States.
Police - 110 or for tourists - 800-10-8687.
Watch out! The altitude sickness is the first thing you should care about. So, first travel tip to Bolivia is get used to altitude.
Do not go until you are ready and it takes about 2 days to get used to altitude. La Paz is at about 3650 m above sea level. You will feel it. Yet, there are the sorojchi pills which means pills against altitude sickness. You can find them at local pharmacies. And don't forget! If you are a tourist from Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, India, Ireleand, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechteinstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Mexico, Monaco, Norway, New Zeeland, Netherlands, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, UK, Uruguay, Vatican City and Venezuela you need no visa. Of course if you are not going to stay more than 90 days in Bolivia.
So, what do you think?
Would you go visit Puma Punku?
I guess most tourists from elsewhere in the world who visit South America, will go to Brazil or Argentina, or to the ancient ruins of Peru or else to the natural attractions of Equador and the Galapagos Islands. But this hub about Puma Punku certainly makes a case for anyone interested in ancient history or archaeology to also tour the lesser known Bolivia. Thanks, Alun.
This is the first I have heard of this mystery. THanks for sharing information on it and bringing such an interesting story on the details.
What an interesting story behind these ruins, such a mystery! Thanks for sharing this and for the altitude warning, that is some useful information for travelers here.
Nice article--good information. Thanks

Two people died Monday after a 34-year-old woman apparently veered to the right shoulder of Santiago Canyon Road and then jerked back across the lane into the path of an oncoming, one-ton van.
"We don't know if she was attempting to do something in the vehicle, if she was reaching for something, if she spilled coffee on herself or what," said Officer Karen Bowen, a California Highway Patrol spokeswoman.
Bowen said Inga Hedjazi of Trabuco Canyon was still holding a cosmetics bag in her hand when emergency workers removed her from the crushed vehicle.
Bowen said the southbound driver of the Chevrolet van, Scott Corsair, 61, of Orange saw her car heading across both lanes and tried to slow down seconds before he was struck.

While most of the school is on spring break I am attending a 2-day workshop at the LUMA Institute. I am a huge fan of the LUMA system for use in my classes and tackling design
|Bill Lucas describing how the
LUMA Institute system was developed.
This 2-day advanced workshop instructs participants on how to "coach, facilitate, and integrate the LUMA System into their daily workflow and overall development efforts." While I have been doing this for awhile, its nice to get feedback and hone these skills. During the session, candidates are re-introduced to the 36 LUMA methods in a deeper way. Candidates are also expected to practice planning for and then facilitating a session, followed by instructor feedback. When you successfully complete the course - your receive certification as a Practitioner of the LUMA System of Innovating for People!
Today we started off the workshop focusing on the history of Maya Design, LUMA being spun-out and how the methods were developed. Bill pointed out that LUMA doesn't promote a certain process - the system is process agnostic. We then discussed various topics including bringing those folks "into" the conversation who many be "naysayers" and think DT is just a trend. Bill suggests saying "you are already doing it - let's do it slightly different, in a more intentional way." I like the idea of making DT the "new normal" in our classrooms and schools.
Learning how to put the methods together to tackle a challenge is an art itself! Bill says: "We spend a good bit of time on ways and advising around "problem spaces" - what are some of the typical categories of problems and what methods might lend themselves to those problems?" Once you develop proven method combinations it can be scaled, re-used and create shared language in your organization.
|A close-up view of some method-combos
A "heat map" of my experience/usage of the 36 methods
Deep purple being the highest usage/knowledge of the method.
I am looking forward to day 2 of the workshop, focusing on (for me) how to scale and create more shared meaning of DT and the LUMA system at my school.

Celebrating a Quarter Century of Testing Success – Barnes marks its 25th Birthday
The technology behind credit and debit card security has come on in leaps and bounds in recent years, with the payments industry committed to staying one step ahead of the ever-present fraudsters. One of the companies behind the security success is Barnes International, who have been creating the world's fastest, most reliable and most accurate mag-stripe and EMV testing tools. These tools have taken the company to global leaders in the quarter of a century since the company launched. On 10th June 2016, Barnes International celebrated their 25th birthday, and what a 25 years it has been.
In 1991 the magnetic stripe was the pinnacle of cashless payment technology. The EMV – or 'chip and PIN' system – wouldn't even be thought of for another ten years, and yet payment security was already becoming a problem. The world's leading financial institutions were looking for a means to ensure customers always received a quality product that would work first time and enhance their brand image. Barnes was launched in response to that challenge and first developed the Mag-Tester, a magnetic stripe analyser.
In the intervening years, card payment technology has evolved. The magnetic stripe has almost been replaced across Europe, Canada, the Middle East and Asia and that trend looks set to continue across the United States of America and all parts of Africa. Chip and PIN technology has also changed to keep up with consumer needs leading to the introduction of NFC contactless payments both on the card and mobile phone, and now watches and wearables. Through each of these developments, Barnes has stayed at the forefront of the testing business, with their tools used for payment product development and quality control, payment scheme EMV certification, and supported by consultancy services and training.
Today, Barnes has customers in more than 95 countries, and can truly claim to be a global leader in payment testing. Banks, Issuers, Card Manufacturers, Personalisation Bureaus and Test Laboratories all rely upon the strength of Barnes' test tools to deliver the highest quality services to their individual customers. Their customer list proudly includes 19 of the top 20 payment card manufacturers and 7 of the world's top 10 financial institutions.
Brian Summerhayes, Barnes International Managing Director, comments: 'What a phenomenal 25 years it's been. When we launched Barnes we were confident of the products and services that we offered, but card testing is a competitive industry, and at that time I don't think that any of us involved could have predicted the success that we've achieved.
'Thanks to our dedicated team of developers, close industry relationships and commitment to offering superior levels of customer support, we've been able to carve a distinct niche within the market, delivering products which are rigorously kept in-line with frequently-updated payment scheme specifications and quickly made available to our customers. We are all incredibly proud of that.
'When we launched in the 90s, cash was still the dominant method of payment; today EMV chip cards are used for more than 96% of payment transactions in Europe, 86% of transactions in Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean, and 83% in Africa and the Middle East. Our contribution to that staggering spread has been the installation of confidence that comes from our reliable and easy-to-use tools and customer-facing technical experts. This is the heart of what we do at Barnes; to ensure our customers can confidently offer their customers secure and innovative payment solutions.'
'The last 25 years have seen a huge amount of change within the industry; our job now is to anticipate what the next 25 will bring. It's exciting times ahead.'

If there was ever a figure that validated Ontario is not a place to thrive, think about that typical incomes in Ontario after tax obligations have actually moved from being 20% higher than the rest of Canada to now being materially listed below it. Excellent chances and high earnings in Ontario used to be a sign for immigrants and individuals from other districts. However, over the past 12 years there has actually been a constant internet exodus of Ontarians to various other districts. Today, just 38% of brand-new immigrants to Canada select Ontario, below 60% just over years ago. The origin of Ontario's decrease can be located in a decade of failed government plans, particularly growth-killing tax increases. This year the average Ontario family members will pay more than $46,000 in taxes 42.5% of the $108,600 the ordinary Ontario family will earn.
While Ontarians have dealt with a host of tax rises, none has been even more destructive than the boosts in personal revenue tax obligations on high-skilled, enlightened workers business owners, organization professionals, designers, legal representatives as well as physicians. Consider that Ontario's leading individual income tax obligation price federal as well as provincial integrated is currently 53.5%. If Ontario were a nation, its leading tax obligation price would place as the sixth highest possible amongst 34 developed nations as well as second greatest among G7 countries, behind only France. But that's simply individual income taxes. When the 13% HST and various other tax obligations are included, the complete tax rate on extra income for lots of professionals, business owners as well as skilled workers is greater than 70%! When 70 cents of every extra buck a household gains as well as consumes goes to tax obligations, effort and also business risk-taking merely do not pay.
To understand why, think of the fines troubled people that own above the rate restriction. The more you speed above the limit, the greater the fine. We have these dynamic penalties due to the fact that we want to dissuade quick driving. While the intent of tax prices that boost quickly as Ontarians earn more income is not to stop individuals from working as well as being more successful, a large body of research study proves they have that extremely result. This is something leaders throughout the political spectrum used to understand. Former Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin comprehended. As he put it: Reduced personal tax obligations would likewise give better rewards and incentives for middle- as well as high-income Canadians to work, conserve as well as spend. So previous Traditional Head of state Stephen Harper said Canada needs lower individual earnings tax rates to encourage more Canadians to recognize their full potential.
Federal NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair comprehended it too Take a look at a province fresh Brunswick. They will have a tax price of 58.75%. Exactly how is New Brunswick going to be able to draw in as well as retain top level clinical physicians when they're likely to be told, oh, incidentally, our tax obligation rate is currently likely to be close to 60%? Improving incentives to strive, invest as well as take business dangers is not a partisan concern, it's merely good financial policy. If Premier Kathleen Wynne's federal government wishes to re-establish Ontario as a location to thrive, improving incentives through tax reductions would certainly be a good place to start. Canadians feeling taxed to the max can at least bask in this being tax flexibility day. The Fraser Institute picked June 7 this year as the day the typical Canadian family members has worked long enough to pay its total tax expense.

1967 ad: Mercury '68
at 12:00 PM . Sunday, April 28, 2013
|Mercury '68 with the Fine Car Touch. This is the closest any car can come to the ride and feel of the Lincoln Continental. Here's a Mercury that got thrown a beautiful curve for 1968. A new swept-back roof that gives this Park Lane the look of a sprinter crouched at the starting line. Obviously, this Mercury isn't a Lincoln Continental. But it's remarkably similar in many ways. Examples: its broad-shouldered stance, weight distribution, and front suspension that help give Mercury its fine-car ride. You can feel the Fine Car Touch our Continental designers have lavished on Mercury. In nylon carpeting that's as rich and durable as you'd buy for your own home. And in the comforting quiet created by 123 pounds and 19 kinds of sound insulation. With noise barriers like that, who needs to shout? Back at the Mercury ranch, we're building 16 models for 1968 (three of them swept-backs). With engine options up to 428 cu. in. Our idea is to make any distance a very comfortable distance for you. Come see Mercury. Get involved with the Fine Car Touch. Better idea cars from the makers of Lincoln Continental. Mercury Park Lane 2door hardtop with new swept-back roof (shown here and above) Lincoln Mercury Division Ford.

It's only a 135K PNG file so it shouldn't have been a big increase in load time...
Maybe it's your AOL Dialup connection... LOL
Seriously they could probably get the file size down to around 30K if they used a JPEG and compressed it a bit without any noticeable loss in quality unless maybe you are looking at it full screen on a 28" monitor... LOL
I'm not sure if the coding of the site will allow a JPEG header pic though...

Combining stakeholder empowerment and engagement with specialist research and subject knowledge.
Resources for Change is a sustainable development consultancy working at all levels in the development and delivery of interventions for communities, organisations and agencies. We 'bridge the gap' between delivery, management and strategy. In short, this means we:
Act at Grassroots - Hands on experience of engaging communities and civil society
Support the Managers - Practical experience of partnerships, management systems and improving delivery
Advise the Strategists - Advising, evaluating and supporting policy and strategic programme delivery
Resources for Change was originally set up by Steve Evison as Rural Resources in January 1997 in response to changing approaches to sustainable development. It became a limited company in 2003 and Resources for Change was set-up to reflect the fact that much of our work is not rural, but urban or strategic in emphasis. Both companies have worked in all parts of the UK and, so far, have worked in 9 overseas countries.
In July 2010 we completed the process of becoming an employee-owned company. Four of the core consultants act as Company Directors and share the responsibility for the company's future direction. For us, this is the realisation of a long held ambition and we hope it will further strengthen us as a team.
How we work?
The needs of all stakeholders are now seen as being integral to the process of change. We aim to facilitate the involvement of communities, groups, individuals, work-forces, managers and strategists in developing sustainable solutions. We do this using a range of appropriate methods, with a particular expertise in tools and techniques designed to maximise participation.
There is also a growing acceptance of the synergies between the sectors such as environment, health, community safety, planning, recreation, tourism and community development. Resources for Change provide a cross sectoral approach to development, and being a team, provide a variety of expertise.
Employing a core staff support, Resources for Change also work with a range of individual associates, businesses, and other organisations to provide the right blend for the client's needs. We also describe ourselves as a Social Business, as defined by our approach to work, to each other and in keeping with the company ethos.
We believe this is the future and, as always, we intend to be at the forefront.

Hey guess what? I designed a Tattly called Clouds, and it's being released today. Tattly is a crazy fun place to work (somedays I have to pinch myself and ask, really? I work with temporary tattoos for a living?!). I'm excited to have the opportunity to design a Tattly and be amongst some design giants on the site.

How to design the best home gym.
Where to start and what to consider?
Designing a home gym can be both exciting and daunting, where do you even start? We've turned to the equipment experts to help you maximize the efficiency of your home workout space without breaking a sweat.
To start designing the best home gym for you, start by;
- Take inventory of your fitness space. Start by asking questions such as, what are your goals? What do you want to accomplish? How much space can you designate to equipment?
- Consider who else will be using the space? Is it just you, or will additional people be utilizing the space?
- Test, touch, and try equipment before you commit. Each manufacturer uniquely designs their equipment for workouts, but what feels natural and comfortable to someone else might feel off to you.
- Consider flooring.
- Design with details in mind. For example, ceiling height, electrical needs, or room's current layout with doors and windows.
- Ask the experts. Our equipment experts are passionate about matching our clients with the right fitness tools and solutions for their unique workout goals.
If you still need help after reviewing our top tips to designing your home gym below, be sure to visit Gym Source's additional fitness equipment expert guides, including:
– Free Weights vs Machines: Pros and Cons
– Elliptical Buyer Guide: What to Consider When Buying an Elliptical.
– Essential Home Gym Equipment: Home Gym Must Haves
– Treadmill Buyer Guide: The Questions to ask Before Purchasing a Treadmill
Begin by understanding your designated fitness space.
How much square footage do you have available and what do you want to accomplish with that space? If you're training for a marathon, the obvious choice is that treadmill you've had your eye on. But what if you could include a floor mat and a space to hang a few accessories to assist in stretching. Suddenly "just a treadmill" has turned into a fully functional and personalized fitness space.
Consider who else may benefit from new home gym.
Do you plan to be the sole fitness enthusiast in your home or are there other people to consider when creating this fitness space?
Perhaps you love cardio, but your spouse loves strength training. How can you incorporate both fitness needs into one shared space? By asking your local equipment expert about treadmills with a more conservative footprint perhaps you can open up space for a weight bench and set of adjustable dumbbells allowing both parties to meet their unique goals.
Or, you might want to consider incorporating multifunctional equipment into your home gym. Learn more about the benefits of multifunctional fitness equipment here.
Take a test drive.
You wouldn't select a paint color you haven't tested, purchase eyewear you haven't tried on or purchase a car without test driving it, why would you approach fitness equipment any differently?
Design features that may feel natural and comfortable to one user may feel awkward to another. Often overheard in our showroom is, "I didn't know it would feel like that." Good or bad, we want you to experience working out on the equipment you are considering before you commit to it. We want you to love the equipment you select for your fitness space, if you don't love it in the showroom, you won't love it at home.
Don't overlook flooring.
Flooring is all too often overlooked, but a critical component to your fitness space. But, why is it important to consider flooring?
Rubber flooring is an excellent insulator against sound transmission keeping things quiet for those in other spaces of the home, it's extremely durable, easy to clean, able to withstand heavy equipment, and is nearly odorless. That's right, when you think rubber flooring, don't think tire factory, although don't be fooled that type of sub par, smelly flooring exists – but, not at Gym Source. We only carry top of the line commercial grade rubber flooring with minimal off gassing. No one wants to work out with a stench.
You have a few options when it comes to rubber flooring. Mats are great for stand-alone equipment, interlocking tiles are good for small spaces, but wall-to-wall flooring is our favorite, by far. It looks great, comes in many colors and is extremely durable. Ask your local equipment expert to help you outfit your new fitness space with the right gym flooring.
Check your power source.
When designing your fitness space don't forget many cardio pieces require electricity. Factor in where and how many power outlets you have in a given space. Additionally, consider the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity of that area. If you want to listen to music, watch TV, or connect to app based live fitness experiences that will require ample connectivity.
Keep it light and bright.
A functional space would ideally have some natural light, but if your fitness space doesn't have windows consider some full-spectrum daylight light bulbs to help energize you during your workout. Experts also agree painting your fitness space a bright white or another lively color helps keep you energized.
Consider a mirror.
No not for awkward selfies, unless you're into that kind of thing. But to ensure you're keeping proper form and to help motivate you through witnessing your own progress.
Keep it clean.
Think about including a space for Antibacterial GymWipes. They are alcohol free, bleach free and phenol free allowing for quick, easy post workout clean ups.
Ask the experts.
Our equipment experts are here to guide you each step of the way from idea generation through installation.
Talk to them about your fitness goals and the space you have available, bring in measurements and floor plans, ask their personal opinions, they've done this a time or two. It wouldn't be the first time someone comes in looking for a treadmill only to find out they love the versatility of a cross trainer that better suits their fitness goals.
Visit your local Gym Source showroom today to start planning your new fitness space.

So we're in Saarbrücken, and we woke up to some exeptionally sweet and nice catering girls in the backstage. We wanted to swim today, so one of the girls drove us to a waterpark where some of the trolls was sliding, getting massage, diving and just having fun wile washing of the road dirt. Now we are nice and clean Trolls :)
The stage (garage) is also very nice, and it's our first time here in Saarbrücken so we are really looking forward to the show! Something special will happen on stage today as well...
We are also having a blast as audience as well. Mr. Seidel and Kane from Korpiklaani was right in front of the stage during the wintersun concert! This is the prove:
Good times on the road!

The BookLikes companion to The Romance Evangelist (mharvey816.mh2.org).
Reviewer for Seductive Musings, Night Owl Reviews, and Romancing Rakes For the Love of Romance.
I live for the HEA/HFN and am decidedly pro-epilogue.
A copy of this book was provided by the publisher for an honest review at The Romance Evangelist.
In SAY MY NAME, J. Kenner returns to the world she established in her original Damien Stark erotic romance trilogy, only this time the heroine is Stark's most trusted employee and her hero is the one man she's loved enough to push away for his own good. When the only way Sylvia Brooks can save her first solo Stark International project is by begging Jackson Steele for help, that rescue could cost her own sanity. But as the two star-crossed lovers slowly learn to love and trust again, they soon find what's at stake might be their own lives.
Although I quite enjoyed the original Stark trilogy, I'll admit this new book started a bit slowly for me. I've never been a big fan of trying to guess what the initial relationship was between the hero and heroine, or what broke them apart so brutally that she fears his harsh reaction as he initially tries to reject her. So the story was a bit frustrating for me until the flashbacks were over and we were completely in the present. But from that point on, I was completely enthralled, even already knowing how Kenner structures these trilogies so that the first two books end on a tentative Happy For Now, saving the Happy Ever After for the final story.
Both Jackson and Sylvia have endured terrible childhoods which are still influencing their present lives more than even they could have predicted. They can't stay apart any longer and yet everything seems to be conspiring to split them up anyway. And hovering over it all is the outsized influence of Damien Stark himself, to the point that Sylvia may soon have to choose between the man she loves and the man who has earned her complete loyalty. It's a heady mix of love and intrigue, and Kenner continues to deliver a knockout experience that made me long for the next book even as I was more than satisfied with this story's ending. To say more would give too much away, and I encourage everyone who loved the original Stark trilogy to read SAY MY NAME to find out what's there for themselves.

The U.S. - North Korea conflict
The Korean Peninsula Entering the Year 2003
A Korea WebWeekly Feature Article
The "nuclear" crisis and the missile issue are the two primary flames that are engulfing the powder keg that lies between the United States and North Korea. The US policy of enmity toward North Korea and the US policy of preventing the spread of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and missiles go together hand in hand. The US policy is to solve the problem of nuclear proliferation, missile technology spread, and the 'last' Stalinist state' in one swoop under "nuclear and missile problem" of North Korea.
However, this US policy has encountered strong counter-attacks by North Korea, which has turned the table around on the US 'nuclear and missile problems' and mounted a major campaign to smash the US policy of enmity toward North Korea. During his waning days at the White House, Bill Clinton was forced to choose: non-proliferation of WMD or continued hostility towards North Korea. The Clinton administration had to opt one or the other, but not both policies at the same time. In order to stop nuclear proliferation, Clinton had to choose to stop his hostile anti-DPRK policy, because continued hostility toward North Korea would lead to proliferation of nuclear weapons.
Bush moved into the White House before Clinton had the chance to act on his 'revised' North Korea policy. Bush brought up the Red Herring of a "uranium enrichment equipment imported from Pakistan" in order to highlight the "North Korean nuclear issue." Although the Unites States is yet to present any convincing proof of this alleged transfer of uranium enrichment technology from Pakistan to North Korea, the anti-DPRK hawks got on the nuclear bandwagon and whipped up a frenzy of 'let's go get them gooks' mass hysteria.
Bush stopped the US delivery of heavy oil to North Korea, a material breach of the 1994 US-DPRK agreement. In response, North Korea announced that it would restart its nuclear facilities mothballed since 1994 and began to break the seals and disabled surveillance cameras placed by the IAEA. It should be noted that Bush was opposed to providing heavy oil to North Korea and used the 'nuclear problem' as a pretext to stop the oil delivery. Bush raised the nuclear problem in order to stop handing oil to North Korea. Contrary to Bush's claim, it was not the case of the US cutting off oil because of the 'nuclear' problem.
Is is possible that Bush had failed to predict that North Korea would crank up its nuclear facilities in response to his oil cutoff? No, the Bush administration had fully expected this North Korean move. Had Bush & Co. foreseen the collapse of the 1994 Agreed Framework because of the oil cutoff and the North Korean reaction? Of course, they had indeed anticipated the collapse.
Why did Bush force the collapse of the agreement and risk the dangers of a nuclear war or proliferation of WMD? The United States must choose either its policy of stopping the spread of WMD or amending its anti-DPRK policy, and it was leaning toward opting for the former option. Why did Bush opt to take his anti-DPRK policy to a higher level with the nuclear card? Does Bush want a war with North Korea? The fact that the United States cannot start a war in Korea has been well established during the Clinton administration and the situation has not changed. If it is not a war, then what does Bush expect to gain by abrogating the 1994 agreement?
On the surface, it appears that Bush is trying to stir up more hostility between the United States and North Korea, but the truth of the matter is Bush's true intention lies elsewhere. Bush is stoking the fire not to blow it into a wild forest fire but in order to achieve an ulterior motive. Bush's true intention is to replace Clinton's agreement with North Korea with his own agreement. The 1994 Agreement, even if fully it had been followed by both sides, offered little to Bush, and so, Bush made a meticulous plan to kill the Agreement. The so-called 'nuclear' problem was a ruse to cover his true intentions. Bush & Co have concluded that the 1994 Agreement would not guarantee nuclear-free Korea and a new agreement that will enforce nuclear-free Korea has to be negotiated.
On the other hand, North Korea was not happy with the 1994 Agreement, either. The agreement would do little for the peaceful unification of Korea. North Korea saw that Bush would not abide by the Agreement and was in agreement with Bush on the need to negotiate a new agreement. The collapse of the 1994 agreement was a necessary birth pain of a new agreement of 2003.
II. What would be in the 2003 agreement?
Bush would want an iron-tight clause that will prevent nuclear proliferation. The US dominance in the world depends on non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, and nuclear proliferation in Korea will shake the very foundation of the US "super-power" status. Bush realizes that he has to pay a high price for North Korea's nuclear program.
North Korea would want the new agreement to include clauses that will be conducive to Korea's unification. The leaders of North and South Koreas had declared on June 15, 2000 that they would work for peaceful unification of Korea by the Korean people themselves with no interference by any foreign powers. North Korea would want the new agreement to eliminate potentials for military confrontations and all other hindrances to the peaceful reunification of Korea.
In order to eliminate potential military conflicts, North Korea would want a peace treaty with the United States to replace the Armistice Agreement signed in 1953. Once a peace treaty is signed, North Korea would want US troops to get out of Korea. The 50-year old Armistice Agreement became obsolete decades ago but the United States clings to it in order to justify its continued occupation of South Korea and maintain its bases to mount preemptive strikes on North Korea.
North and South have agreed on non-aggression in the June 15th Pyongyang Declaration and considerable advances have been made in North-South reconciliation and cooperation since then. Inter-Korea trade is on the rise and more and more Koreans want peace, not war. Today, the danger of a war comes from North Korea-US military confrontations - and not from North-South confrontation. It is the United States that threatens war in Korea.
The new agreement of 2003 must address the basic problems on the Korean Peninsula. North Korea must meet Bush's nuclear non-proliferation demands and Bush must stop interfering in the internal affairs of the Korean people.
III. Can the basic US-DPRK problems be resolved?
At the October 2002 US-DPRK talk held in Pyongyang, North Korea's agenda included a non-aggression pact, peace treaty, lifting of economic embargo, and Bush's visit to Pyongyang for an US-DPRK summit. An US-DPRK non-aggression pact is the centerpiece in smoothing out the US-DPRK friction. Signing the pact will pave the path for Bush to travel to Pyongyang and kiss and make up with Kim Jong Il.
The Bush administration refuses to talk to North Korea unless it scraps its nuclear weapons first. Such a demand is logically and realistically contradictory. The primary purpose of negotiating with North Korea is to talk it into abandoning its nuclear program. If so, why would North Korea give up its nuclear program before the negotiation? North Korea's nuclear 'problem' can only be resolved at a negotiation table. It will be a grave miscalculation for Bush to believe that it can be solved by military force or economic sanctions. Bush is most likely well aware of this fact. Bush should stop wasting time yapping about North Korea's 'nuclear problem' and instead, try to solve the 'problem' by sitting down with the 'devils' face to face. Solving the 'problem' soon will benefit the United States.
It is important to note that the fundamental problems that divide the United States and North Korea are basically the problems that divide the United States and Korea in general. The peaceful unification of Korea by the Korean people themselves is the universal desire of the Korean people. On the other hand, maintaining nuclear non-proliferation is critical to Bush in sustaining Pax Americana. Kim Jong Il wants to resolve these two issues in a single stroke in a face-to-face meeting with Bush in Pyongyang.
Bush has no other choice but to accept Kim Jong Il's offer - if the United States is to remain the dominant power in the world affairs. Lifting the US hostility toward North Korea that has kept Korea divided for more than half a century is the price Bush has to pay for North Korea's nuclear program.
Of course, the negotiation will take some time. A Bush-Kim summit will require lengthy negotiations with many ups and downs. Furthermore, Korea will not be reunited right away even if the US-DPRK peace pact is signed. As long as South Korea is dominated by anti-unification, pro-US Uncle Toms, Korea will remain divided, and these powers will do all they can to keep Korea divided. But the Korean people will overcome the anti-unification forces and Korea will be reunited sooner or later. During the presidential election of 2002, the Democratic Labor Party, representing the voters who desire unification and self-determination, received about 10% of the votes cast. It is expected that this new political party will grow rapidly in the coming years.
IV. What to expect from Roh Moo Hyun's government
The presidential election of 2002, with the 'nuclear crisis' and the 'candlelight marches', was quite unlike the previous elections in South Korea. First of all, the massive candlelight march around the US Embassy in Seoul is a clear sign of mounting anti-US sentiment in South Korea. The 2002 election was held amidst a mounting anti-US movement. The anti-US sentiment worked against Lee Hoe Chang, Roh's pro-US opponent. The voters deemed that Roh would be more nationalistic and much less subservient to the United States - the lesser of two evils.
Unfortunately, Roh's administration is expected to follow the same pro-US line of Kim Dae Jung's administration. It will be almost impossible for Roh to be free himself from pro-US toadyism so prevalent in South Korea. The anti-US sentiment in South Korea is not a transient phenomenon: it will persist and expand, and Roh will attempt to suppress it as all other governments before him have done. The anti-US and pro-Korea candlelight movement will continue in spite of Roh's efforts to suppress it, and will grow into pan-Korean torch movement. The US government will lean heavily on Roh to put down anti-US activities and the Korean people will see Roh's true color, a loyal servant of the United States.
Secondly, the 2002 election was held amidst North Korea's "nuclear crisis". But the election was not affected by the crisis at all. Neither the illegal US seizure of a North Korean freighter, the Sosan-ho, in international waters just before the election nor North Korea's announcement that it would restart its nuclear facilities mothballed since 1994 had helped Lee Hoe Chang, a conservative anti-North hawk. This indicates that the main danger of war in Korea comes from Bush's antagonism toward North Korea and not from North-South hostility. The voters in South Korea are well aware of this fact.
In order to lessen the danger of war in Korea, the US must change its anti-DPRK policy and the anti-DPRK forces led by the Grand National Party in South Korea must change their attitude toward North Korea. The South Korean people believed that Roh's Democratic Party would be more beneficial to Korea. Roh is likely to follow through with his campaign promise of meeting Kim Jong Il for the second North-South summit and implement his 'own' North Korea policy. However, Roh's North Korea policy will be dictated by the United States because Roh has neither the ability nor the will to stand up against the United States.
Thirdly, the 2002 election saw the emergence of a new political powers in South Korea. The people of South Korea want self-determination, democracy, and unification. Only the progressive Democratic Labor Party can deliver these three items to the Korean people. During the past 50 years, there have been attempts to form progressive political parties in South Korea but few have succeeded in getting massive grassroots support. The Democratic Labor Party received substantial votes in the 2002 election, in spite of the fact that the Party was still in its infancy.
Five years ago, the people of South Korea had great expectations of Kim Dae Jung's government. They expected Kim to implement reforms. But Kim Dae Jung let the people down and has accomplished precious little in the way of reforms. Roh has promised that he will implement the reforms promised by Kim Dae Jung, but the people of South Korea will learn that Roh's 'reforms' will fall short of their expectations and tangent from Korea's national interests. The people of South Korea was deceived by Kim Dae Jung for five years and, it is likely that, they will be deceived by Roh Moo Hyun for another five years. Such is the tragic fate of the South Korea people.
The people of South Korea will not remain idle and let pro-US politicos run their lives forever, but they will rally to new political leaders who put Korea above all else and truly represent the will of the Korean people. The Korean people will become free if and only if they elect their own man into the Blue House and fill the National Assembly with people who represent the Korean people, not any foreign power
