The Producer
The Rieslings from Egon Müller are widely recognised as amongst the very best in Germany today. He has just under 8 hectares of vines in the world-famous Scharzhofberg vineyard, which includes 3 hectares of ungrafted Riesling vines from the 19th century.
Grapes are hand-harvested and then pressed without any skin contact before being fermented in large, 1000 litre oak casks in the natural, cool and deep cellars. The wines are usually bottled 6 months later. Müller`s sweet Rieslings are arguably the finest in Mosel, while his Kabinett and Spätlese wines are unusually fine and elegant.
Other wines by this producer:
The Grape
Riesling's twin peaks are its intense perfume and its piercing crisp acidity which it manages to retain even at high ripeness levels.
In Germany, Riesling constitutes around 20% of total plantings, yet it is responsible for all its greatest wines. It is planted widely on well-drained, south-facing slate-rich slopes, with the greatest wines coming from the best slopes in the best villages. It produces delicate, racy, nervy and stylish wines that cover a wide spectrum of flavours from steely and bone dry with beautifully scented fruits of apples,apricots, and sometimes peaches, through to the exotically sweet flavours of the great sweet wines.
It is also an important variety in Alsace where it produces slightly earthier, weightier and fuller wines than in Germany. The dry Rieslings can be austere and steely with hints of honey while the Vendages Tardives and Sélection de Grains Nobles are some of the greatest sweet wines in the world.
It is thanks to the New World that Riesling is enjoying a marked renaissance. In Australia the grape has developed a formidable reputation, delivering lime-sherbet fireworks amid the continental climate of Clare Valley an hour's drive north of Adelaide, while Barossa's Eden Valley is cooler still, producing restrained stony lime examples from the elevated granitic landscape; Tasmania is fast becoming their third Riesling mine, combining cool temperatures with high UV levels to deliver stunning prototypes.
New Zealand shares a similar climate, with Riesling and Pinot Gris neck to neck in their bid to be the next big thing after Sauvignon Blanc; perfectly suited is the South Island's Central Otago, with its granitic soils and continental climate, and the pebbly Brightwater area near Nelson. While Australia's Rieslings tend to be full-bodied & dry, the Kiwis are more inclined to be lighter bodied, more ethereal and sometimes off-dry; Alsace plays Mosel if you like.

US Veterans IT / E-Waste Workforce
AnythingIT, entering its 19th year of business as one of the most experienced IT Asset Disposition (ITAD), Recovery & E-Waste handlers for both Government and Commercial markets, announces its partnership with Rock Our Vets (ROV), a non-for profit volunteer organization. A major part of ROV is to put laptop computers into the hands of US Veterans that are continuing their pursuits of an education. "We are excited and humbled by the support shown from AnythingIT in helping us take the Laptop Program at www.rockourvets.org to the next level. When these Veterans hear that they have been approved for a computer, the excitement and gratitude in their voices is what makes it all worth doing," said Ted Knapp, President of Rock Our Vets www.rockourvets.org. To date, with support from AnythingIT, Rock Our Vets has been able to cover 200 Veterans back to school equipped with a laptop computer. AnythingIT and ROV, in a concerted effort, have pledged to increase that number by 20% or higher by the end of 2017. As an organization, AnythingIT is privileged to give back to those that have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend this country. "We are honored to partner with an outstanding organization such as Rock Our Veterans. Our alliance will not only provide technology tools to veterans, but will also give them valuable skill-sets to use technology as a way to enter into the civilian workforce," stated Dave Bernstein, President of AnythingIT Inc. AnythingIT, Inc. was awarded US Government Contractor status via GSA for IT Asset Disposition in 2002 and has served both Public and Private Sector enterprise organizations since its inception. The mission of www.anythingit.com is to assist enterprise-class customers & resellers to dispose of obsolete and non-working IT equipment with proper documentation for little or no charge with a goal of providing the highest market valuation on working equipment. "Our goal for this program is to not only provide technology to Veterans, but to give them something even more valuable, an ability to learn a trade and obtain a long-term career in IT. We are committed to increasing our workforce with Veterans," stated Vlad Stelmak, Chief Operating Officer - AnythingIT.

Please PM or email an Administrator or Moderator with any questions or concerns. Administrators and Moderators be identified by red usernames, and often have useful forum links in our signature blocks.
I. Family Friendly. Hammock Forums is a family friendly site. This means that our topics, language and treatment of each other are what you'd want your kids to see. We're not a bunch of prudes...we just think that the internet has enough places where that behavior is tolerated, and this particular site shouldn't be one of them.
II. Be Respectful. This is not negotiable. We treat each other with respect at Hammock Forums. This is a great community where the norm is to support others in their ideas and projects (including respectful critiques), and not assume offense where none is intended...and therefore not to flame, call names, or create friction in our threads. It's often easy to get frustrated over someone's post and type a quick reply to "set them straight." If the original post is out of line and the follow-up is calm and respectful, then it is appropriate for well-established members to help newbies learn our norms. However, we will not show a lack of respect for each other. Disagreement is fine; disrespectful behavior is not. Please make it easier on the community and police your own posts. Since intent is hard to gauge on the internet, please start by giving the benefit of the doubt if the post is not clearly offensive.
We also treat other sites with respect. Politely referring folks to the best source of hammocking info on the net is absolutely encouraged. Using Hammock Forums to foster a spam campaign against another site is not. Doing it in the name of Hammock Forums is entirely inappropriate and misrepresents what this community stands for.
No one speaks for Hammock Forums but the HF staff. The members here have created a valuable source of information and comaraderie. As such, many folks get passionate about the site and the community...and even protective of our hobby. We appreciate that. However, taking direct action on behalf of HF, without first discussing it with the HF staff, is neither required nor appreciated. This includes attempts to profit from HF's material as well as representing the forum on other sites.
III. Stay On-Topic. This is a moderated site about hammocks. Off-topic posts will be removed from the hammock subforums.
HF was started to become the single best source of hammock information on the internet. Our goal is to provide a respectful forum for hammock enthusiasts, and to ensure that it runs smoothly not to grow the forum, nor to provide a friendly discussion forum for general outdoor enthusiasts. Discussion of knives, stoves, paddling, backpacks and other non-hammock related issues detracts from our primary objective. Excellent information on all of these topics can be found on dozens of other sites around the internet...but only this site can claim to have the most experts on hammocks in the world and we plan to keep that focus.
All threads not directly related to hammocks will be moved to the Donating Members section. Fewer posts, but higher quality ones focused on our primary mission area, is a perfectly acceptable outcome of this policy. Please note that if you are not a donating member, you will not have access to a thread you started that gets moved to the off-topic area. You may either participate on topic in the free access areas or donate to get access.
This policy is not open for debate, so please do not email the moderators with requests that we run this forum like others you frequent.
This normally applies to issues that most members can agree are contentious...gun rights and carry laws, differences in religion, political elections and candidates, etc. As the site has grown, other topics have begun to generate more political posts...including military appreciation threads. No matter what we think about the soldiers, the military's role in society and the proper level of support for its members are certainly political viewpoints. If we allow HF members to post support for the military, it would only be fair to let the differing opinions be posted as well...and that would quickly degenerate into political discussion, and probably result in a heated and emotional thread that would spill over into the other subforums (as we experienced on whiteblaze.net before starting this site). Since HF's mission is to provide a friendly community to discuss hammocks, discussion of the military detracts from our primary objective. Therefore, we will consider threads about the military to be political in nature, and will remove them accordingly.
Such policies are not geared toward restricting anyone's freedom of speech and they're not made from any sense of political correctness. We started HF to discuss hammocks and we plan to maintain that singular focus as much as possible. All of Hammock Forums' mods are in agreement - no matter what we think about the military or its members, HammockForums.net is not the proper place to discuss it.
The following rules apply to the Donating Members Roundtable:
A. The Roundtable is for open discussion of almost any topic. Please be sure to keep the discussions about hammocks and hammock gear in the forum where non-donating members will have access. The Roundtable is for non-hammock related discussion only.
B. No political or religious discussion, no foul or abusive language, and no posting or linking to nudity, pornography or any other subject that may be NSFW (Not Safe For Work).
C. All discussions will be kept civil.
D. Please don't be offended if a moderator removes one of your posts from this section. Such decisions will be entirely at the discretion of the moderators.
1. You must have a minimum of 50 posts to start a new For Sale thread. There is no minimum to buy. There is no minimum to participate in the 'Want To Buy (WTB)' sub forum.
Attempts to circumvent the minimum 50 posts rule by posting rapidly to raise your post count is not allowed, and will result in loss of access to the Marketplace forums.
2. Items listed in the marketplace must be related to outdoor gear.
Guidelines for outdoor gear:
a) Hammocks
b) Hammock suspensions
c) Bug nets
d) Socks (over covers)
e) Tarps
f) Tarp suspension & stakes
g) Hardware to hang tarps, quilts, and hammocks
h) Under quilts (UQ), Top Quilts (TQ), & pads
i) Suspension or method to secure quilts or pad
j) Packs
k) Cook kits (pots, pans, stoves)
l) Water filtration including tubing, fittings
m) Outdoor Clothing
n) DIY supplies to make outdoor gear such as cordage, fabric, insulation, tubing, bladders
o) General Camp use knives are permitted. Buyer and seller are responsible for ensuring they comply with all local laws including size and age requirement when buying or selling knives.
p)Chairs or other camping furniture
q)Tents or items used for ground sleeping
Excluded (cannot be sold on HF)
a) Fire arms, ammunition, or holsters for same
b) Fishing, skiing, pulks, or any other sporting gear
c) Electronic gear if it requires power or batteries it cannot be sold on HF
d) Automatic knives, butterfly knives and swords
3. A member may only have one (1) FS thread active at any one time and each thread is limited to three (3) items for sale. Any active thread with more than 3 items listed will be deleted. Once a member closes and moves his thread to the sold area they can then open another thread with up to 3 items. If a member opens a 2nd thread, thereby having two threads active, both threads will be deleted.
4. Items listed in the marketplace should be listed with a selling price. No auction-style posts, no bidding on items, or linking to auctions. No Or Best Offer (OBO) postings & no price offers to be made. However communications between members via PM is not limited with the understanding the first unqualified Ill take it posted in thread is the winner.
5. Do not post links to websites that offer referral bonuses or kickbacks.
6. When items have been sold, please reply to the thread and mark them sold or that funds have been received then close/move the thread per instructions HERE
7. No off topic discussions are allowed in FS or WTB threads. Off topic discussion will be deleted at the moderators discretion. This includes but not limited to recommendations or reviews (good or bad) of items offered or chatter in the thread. Please limit conversations to Ill take it or to ask/answer questions about the product.
8. If PayPal is used you may not use the "Send money to family or friends" payments option. You must use the "Pay for goods or services" option.
9. Do not play "price police" and make a public post in another member's thread about where a product can be found at a lower price or comments that the sellers price is high/low. A simple Private Message to the seller may be helpful, though.
10. Buyers must always post an "I'll Take It" in the thread where the sale is advertised. This creates a public record of the intent, and officially claims the item. Posts *always* over-ride PM inquiries when there is a debate. In the case that there are multiple claims, the first "I'll take it" in the thread gets the first right of refusal.
11. "I'll take it" is the only acceptable term for getting the first chance to purchase an item. Terms like "I'll take it pending PM", or "I'll take it, but with questions" do not reserve you the first right of refusal.
12. Once an "I'll take it" has been posted, the buyer has 48 hours to submit payment to the seller. If funds aren't received in that time, the seller may take the next offer for purchase.
13. When you post a new For Sale thread, you will have to select a prefix Click on the area and select. This will automatically preface your thread with FS: (thread title). You will not be able to post a new thread until the prefix is selected.
14. Hammock Forums Marketplace Rules must be read, AND followed, in order to maintain access to the Marketplace. Members who disregard these rules will face suspension of their access to the marketplace for an undetermined amount of time, at the Hammock Forums staff discretion.
Guidelines -
1. Use thoughtful caution when purchasing. Consider how long has the member been on the forum, and the amount of the transaction.
2. Communicate clearly, frequently, and calmly. This eliminates frustration for both buyers and sellers.
3. As per rule 8 - Never use the 'I'm sending money to family or friends' payment options when purchasing. This does not automatically supply the shipping address to the seller, and it strictly limits the buyer's options for any refund if there is a problem with the transaction.
4. Consider using a shipping method that can offer tracking or delivery confirmation. USPS Priority is a good option for U.S. addresses.
The Fine Print -
- Hammock Forums is not responsible for transactions or goods exchanged.
- If there is a dispute, please PM one of the moderators.
- The Marketplace forums are meant for individuals selling surplus or unwanted gear only. It is not a place for members to start their small business endeavors.
- Hammock Forums welcomes those who wish to offer a hammock related item or service to the other members of the forum. Those wishing to offer a hammock related service or product should first contact one of the moderation team to make your intentions known and then post relevant threads in the Other Vendors and Services sub forum.
- The Marketplace forums will be kept "tidy". Old threads deemed inactive must be moved to the SOLD sub-forum, by the individual opening the thread once the transaction is completed. If you are trying to sell your item, a simple "bump" of the thread will suffice to keep it active.
Group Buys are a type of sale in which items are purchased at a volume discount and these savings are passed on to those who wish to participate. The Group Buy Organizer (GBO) will administer the group buy, including such tasks as collecting member orders, accepting payments, placing the volume order, and packing and shipping the deliveries but must do so without profit. In general group buys should following these guidelines:
1. Group buy prices must be the actual cost of the item or items being offered.
2. Buyers must be charged actual shipping costs. The GBO should remember PayPal fees and similar, to be added to the total cost of the order with no mark up. A small fee, totaling no more than .50 per order, may be applied to recoup costs for supplies such as printer ink, labels, packaging materials, etc.
3. Accepted payment methods (cash, PayPal, check) are up to the GBO.
4. To ensure that Group Buys abide by these guidelines, any thread started in the 'Group Buy' subforum must be approved by a moderator before it appears in public view.
5. Since running a Group Buy requires that HF place a measure of trust, GBOs must have a minimum of 100 posts establishing a record of good standing on the forum.
6. Caveat emptor (buyer beware). Hammock Forums is not responsible for the outcome of a group buy or for mediating any disputes between the GBO and the participants. As a buyer, please protect yourself by ensuring that you trust the GBO before conducting business with him or her. As a GBO, please ensure that you conduct the transactions honorably or you may be banned from the site.
A. Hammock Forums is a place for the free and impartial exchange of ideas, and any direct involvement in a vendor's operations calls that impartiality into question. Therefore, HF threads will not be used to conduct transactions for businesses. Members are still encouraged to help other members by helping with modifications, sewing DIY gear, etc...even for a small fee. Moderators will use their discretion to determine if a member's "help" has become a business. If so, the moderators will request that the member find another means to conduct transactions, and the member will be subject to these vendor guidelines.
B. For these guidelines, a vendor includes someone who consistently sells gear for profit and publicly advertises the fact. A member who occasionally makes gear for other members, even for a small fee, is not considered a vendor. A vendor is not restricted to the owner of the business; representatives, sales personnel, and anyone receiving compensation from the company are considered vendors. Moderators will use their discretion in applying this definition.
C. Vendors will clearly identify their associations with businesses in their signature blocks, preferably with website links.
D. Product and sales announcements, and discussing your products are encouraged. Product and sales announcements must be made in your own sub-forum where possible. Commenting on your products is fine in the general discussion forums, but please do this with discretion and do not allow it to become spam. Please ensure your posts in the general forums add useful information to the discussion; posts that are nothing more than advertisements may be removed at the discretion of the moderators.
E. Vendors will not directly criticize another vendor or their products. This includes asking pointed questions with the intent to highlight shortcomings.
F. Vendors will not discuss their own products in threads or forums devoted to other vendors or their products. A short answer to a question posed by a member is acceptable, but if the user continues to derail the thread then please address it by Private Message, email, or begin a new thread in your own sub-forum.
G. Vendor subforums are located in the on-topic hammock area. Therefore, vendors are only welcome to market their hammock-related products on Hammock Forums. All threads in the vendor subforums must be hammock related. Vendors are free to answer questions in the Donating Member off-topic forums about gear, but must refrain from marketing products there.
H. Unless you are a source manufacturer of a hammock related product, or your mix of products centers around a hammock specific product manufactured and sold by your company, HF does not allow the marketing activities of retailers. You are welcome to post and take part in discussions, but please refrain from soliciting HF members in the public threads. Any abusive PMing or emailing of product offerings will not be tolerated and your membership shall be revoked if such activities are reported to the moderators or administrators of this site.
I. Vendors must maintain normal 'Donating Member' status on the forum.
Note: These rules are not intended to restrict members from selling gear in the "For Sale" forum unless the member is running a business, promoting his products in the other forums, etc.
A. Hammock Forums, HammockForums.net, HF, and the orange sun with black hanger HF logo are copyrighted material. Such material is not appropriate for use by individuals without express permission of the HF moderating team.
B. Many users have created T-shirt and patches based on the HF logo to commemorate a hang-out or local area. In these cases, please submit the design to an HF moderator so we can ensure it is family-friendly and consistent with our community's values.
C. Hammock Forums will not honor requests to delete a user's material when he or she leaves the forum. This disrupts the flow of conversation in the threads.
IX. Charities. Hammock Forums recognizes the important role played by charities in society, but we also try very hard to maintain the singular focus on hammocks. Therefore, requests for charitable donations are not appropriate for this forum.
X. Acceptance of Terms of Service. Participation at this site implies acceptance of these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with the terms, please do not participate here. The moderators reserve the right to change the terms at any time and without notification.

There are countless sources of financial aid outside of federal and state student loans. There are grants and scholarships from local, state, and federal sources, as well as private bank loans.
If you've already reached your student loan limit, that means you've probably already applied for the FAFSA and may have received federal aid like the Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford Loans and PLUS loans, as well as need-based federal grants like Pell, Academic Competitiveness Grant, TEACH Grant and the SMART Grant.
Here are other options that you may not have considered:
State government grants and loans. For example, California residents can apply for the Cal Grant to help fund their education.
Campus-based financial aid. Scholarships, federal work-study, and grants including the Federal Perkins Loan and the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) are options, even if you've already taken out student loans. Most states and schools use the FAFSA to determine eligibility for other non-federal aid.
Scholarships. There are several options for scholarships that could help you get the funding you need for college.
- Campus-based scholarships (often found on the college or university's website).
- Local scholarships.
- National scholarships, such as the National Merit Scholarship.
Private agencies, companies, foundations, and employers. Often, large companies will offer scholarships to the children of its employees as an added employee benefit. Also, many local businesses will use tip jars to create scholarships for its teen employees. It may not be much, but it can help you get the financing you'll need in school even for smaller expenses like food and gas.
Finally, you can always take out a private loan through a bank. Start with your local bank or credit union and ask whether they offer student loans. You may also be able to take out a standard personal loan, but before you do that, research whether other banks near you will give you a student loan option, which may give you better loan terms like deferment on loan payments while you're in school and a grace period once you graduate.

South African Triggerfish Animation Studios has announced a partnership with the London-based commercial management firm Accelerate Worldwide.
Accelerate will support the studio across merchandising development, licensing and IP rights distribution across multiple territories. The Accelerate team also aims to increase the Triggerfish profile internationally, including to the Far East, to generate future film work and raise further capital.
Triggerfish, established in Cape Town in 1996, is one of Africa's largest animation studios. In 2012, its first feature film Zambezia became the top independent release in Israel and has become the widest release South African film ever in Germany and Austria. The film is on its way to becoming one of the highest grossing South African films ever.
The studio is currently concluding its latest 3D animation feature film, Khumba, about a zebra born with only half its stripes.
"It's great to be working with Accelerate," said Stuart Forrest [pictured] at Triggerfish. "We have a clear ambition to bring a unique and creative voice from the heart of Africa to audiences around the world and believe that Accelerate's work faster and smarter approach will help us achieve our growing ambitions. We've achieved a great deal in 2012 and with Zambezia, as Africa's most successful film export and the recent completion of Khumba, we believe that now is the time to take advantage of South Africa's emerging film and TV future."
Nimeshh Patel, managing partner at Accelerate Worldwide added: "Triggerfish is an ambitious and exciting studio that is deserving of its current and growing success. Already attracting some of the industry's best talent it has reached an exciting juncture in its growth - with two feature films now under its belt and growing recognition Internationally. Amongst other things, Accelerate will work alongside this talented team to develop creative distribution strands with major brands in its existing markets and extend its reach within bold new markets such as Korea, the Philippines and Japan."
Pat Nelson, managing partner at Accelerate Worldwide, commented: "The chance to work strategically with this cutting edge animation studio and bring our expertise to bear is a thrilling opportunity for Accelerate. We are setting out on a long-term journey with Triggerfish that will not only focus on raising additional funds to finance its next slate of films, but will include a number of beneficial new partnerships and new channels to market."

I see a lot of University websites and the one area that consistently fails to deliver is the course finder.
Higher education is one of the biggest sectors Headscape works in. I have been involved in producing user interfaces for many of HE websites and have reviewed many more. It is a complex sector with significant challenges. However if I could address just one, it would be the inadequate course finders on most Higher Education websites.
Why the course finder matters
Let me start by defining what the course finder is. A course finder on a University website is the mechanism by which prospective students selects a course.
Think about that for a minute. A course is the primary 'product' that a University 'sells'. Without courses there would be no students. Without students there would be no money and therefore no University.
Yet judging by the investment made in most University course finders, it would appear that many institutions fail to grasp this fact.
Sure, the course finder isn't everything. Traditionally many prospective students will order the printed prospectus. However, this is changing. Increasingly prospective students are turning to the web as their primary source of information. Also there is a significant cost saving to be made by moving away from the printed prospectus.
You could also argue that prospective students use a lot of other criteria when selecting an institution. This is true, but these days students are largely funding their own education. As a result they behave more like traditional consumers where the product matters more than additional 'benefits'.
However you look at it, the course finder is the single most important feature on most University websites.
With the course finder so obviously a key component it is hard to believe that it could be failing. However, it is.
Where the course finder fails
I am aware that a title like "University course finders suck" is a strong accusation, even if written somewhat tongue in cheek. However, I do believe there are some significant problems that need addressing. These fall into three areas:
- The page mentality
- The broadcast mentality
- The copy and paste mentality
Let me explain those rather cryptic descriptions.
The page mentality
Users are increasingly expecting web applications to behave like desktop software, rather than traditional web pages. Unfortunately most course finders I encounter feel like they were built in 1999. While other web applications make use of technologies like Flash and AJAX to provide a faster and more interactive user experience, course finders are typically slow and page based.
The user is forced to navigate a series of link intensive and text heavy pages, before finding information on a single course. There is no ability to compare courses, filter results or receive course suggestions. Instead the course finder is treated like any other page of textual content on the site.
The broadcast mentality
The current crop of prospective under graduates are a generation that has grown up with social networks and value peer to peer recommendation over top down advertising. They do not trust information supplied by institutions and companies, preferring instead the recommendations of their peers. They are used to websites that facilitate this community recommendation model such as Amazon, Facebook or iTunes.
Unfortunately most institutions actively discourage peer to peer recommendation. Marketing departments fear what would happen if they lost control of the message and academics shiver at the prospect of having their courses rated by students. Instead they continue using a broadcast model where the content is controlled centrally and prospective students have no sense of how reliable the information is.
The copy and paste mentality
The problem is not just confined to the reliability of the course information provided. It is also to do with the quality.
In my experience much of the information about an individual course is lifted directly from the printed prospectus. In turn, that copy has been provided by individual faculties, schools or course leaders.
In some cases the original copy received has been checked for spelling, grammar and inaccuracy. Rarely is it edited to add personality and ensure consistent tone. However, even if the prospectus copy is beautifully crafted and expertly written, that does not mean it can be copied to the web.
It is not enough to lift copy from the prospectus and paste it online. The web is a very different medium and needs to be treated appropriately. Copy that maybe entirely appropriate offline can come across as cold and impersonal online. In addition, users read web copy differently to print. There is a need to aid scannability and condense text, to make it easier to digest.
In short most course finders feel uninspiring and out of date. While other sites are creating copy full of personality, empowering users to provide feedback and creating a desktop like experience, course finders feel stuck in the past. Why then is such an essential tool being neglected?
Why the problem exists
As with any large organisation the blame does not lay with one individual. In fact if you are reading this post, you are probably already aware of the problems I am outlining. The problem lies not with individuals but with the culture of the institution itself.
A large part of the problem is one of inertia. Although most institutions have tweaked their course finders to work with a new technology or to accommodate a new design, nobody has ever been given the job of addressing it properly. That is largely because nobody sees it as their responsibility. Addressing something as important as the course finder needs cooperation across departments and somebody with the authority to push changes through.
Of course Inertia is not the only problem. Higher Education institutions also have a responsibility to make their websites accessible. Highly interactive applications that make use of Javascript, AJAX and Flash are often perceived as inaccessible and with good reason. If you look at the majority of high profile web applications they are incredibly inaccessible.
However, the biggest boundary to modernising the University course finder is without a doubt time and money. Internal web teams are almost always overstretched with their time spent updating content and dealing with support queries. Rarely do they have the opportunity to think strategically, let alone undertake a rebuild of this scale. Their focus is on triage, not long term health.
Now as somebody who runs a web design company that specialises in Higher Education, you might expect me to suggest outsourcing. However, that is easier said than done. Demonstrating a need to finance a rebuild of an application that appears to be working adequately can be hard. Most senior managers will not grasp the benefits of upgrading the course finder.
Is this article therefore pointless? Am I simply pointing out a problem that cannot be fixed? I certainly hope not. I believe that with the right approach it is possible to push through change.
How to fix the problem
The real challenge to overcome are not accessibility but inertia and investment. How do you convince management to invest in upgrading the course finder?
There are two keys to success – Show and Tell.
One problem you face is managements inability to picture what an improved course finder would look like. Unlike us they do not necessarily use the web on a regular basis. It is therefore important that they can visualise the possibilities.
One option is to build a prototype. This would be the preferred approach because it best represents the final product. However, as we have already said internal web teams are overstretched. It maybe that the work can be completed out of hours. However I recognise this is not always possible or fair! Another possibility is to mockup some designs and wireframes that demonstrate how a revised course finder might work. Although not as good as a prototype, if accompanied with examples of working web applications, they can often be adequate.
Although a demonstration will prove impressive, it may still not convince. Management may not grasp the ramifications of what they are being shown. It is therefore necessary to explain the benefits so that investment can be justified.
Fortunately, when it comes to upgrading the course finder this argument is extremely compelling.
An effective, dynamic course finder is a powerful tool in differentiating yourself from the competition. It gives users the perception that your institution is progressive, relevant and dynamic. However more importantly, if it includes peer to peer recommendation, it also creates the perception that you are open and honest. Even negative comments have a positive effect because they adds credibility to the positive comments and to you as an organisation. Users can trust what is being said by an organisation that does not censor negative criticism even on its own site.
Social tools also create a greater sense of engagement with prospective students. Establishing a relationship with prospective students is a key component in encouraging them to attend your institution.
However, most importantly an improved course finder will be easier to use. This will enable more students to find the right course for them. Many students suffer from choice paralysis, overwhelmed with the number of different courses and the options open to them. A well built course finder will be able to guide them through that process and connect more 'customers' with the right 'product' for them.
Of course in reality management may not be so easily convinced. Fortunately that is where statistics come to the rescue. Monitor dropout rates from your course finder. Add a poll to it. You may even want to test improvements to the system using A/B testing. All these approaches are more weapons in your arsenal.
It is important to stress that I am not proposing changes to the course finder simply to 'stay current'. This is about creating a more effective business tool. A tool that can facilitate helping potential students find the right course for them. Making this connection is almost certainly the most important role of a university website and yet in most institutions it is a wasted opportunity.

Alexander Daniel Pabon finally arrives
State Rep. Dan Pabon says it's clear his newborn son already has some of his characteristics: the baby made a late arrival, not wanting to leave his comfy confines.
Alexander Daniel Pabon was born at 10:56 p.m. Tuesday with the following vitals: 7 pounds, 11 ounces, 20.5 inches. Doctors induced Heather Gwinn Pabon Monday after she was a week overdue. Then it was 27 hours of labor and an unplanned C-section before Alec finally arrived.
If the son picks up another of his dad's characteristics, the younger Pabon is likely to get a nickname: "Smart Alec." (See, Pabon's numerous references to Mitt Romney during the 2012 session)
Pabon, a Denver Democrat, also has a daughter, Maria, 17.

So you have an interview for a dream internship—score! Now what?
Interviewing for a job or internship doesn't have to be intimidating, even though there may be reasons it seems that way. "I worry about not immediately knowing how to answer a question and then losing my composure and confidence for the rest of the interview," says Andrew J., a second-year graduate student at Saint Louis University in Missouri.
But according to the experts, beating interview anxiety and acing the interview is as simple as honing your skills in answering a few key questions, which can turn you into the star candidate for your next job, whether it's a summer internship or post-grad dream job.
First steps to prep
Research the company
"One of the first questions students will most likely be asked is, 'What do you know about our organization and this position?'" says Jason Henry, a career counselor at Arkansas State University-Beebe. So, step one is researching the organization you're hoping to join—its values, mission, and day-to-day operations.
Research yourself
Next, flip that inquiry around on yourself. "Students should also take time to reflect on their personal, academic, and work experiences so they can appropriately articulate to the interviewer how those past experiences have prepared them for that position," Henry says.
Even if you're interviewing for your first-ever job or a position where you don't have any experience yet, that's OK. Your experiences in class—even summer jobs—can help convey how you'll perform on the job. Think of these examples ahead of time—sort of like a highlight reel of your greatest hits.
Take notes
As you polish up your mental highlight reel and prepare answers to the following questions, don't be afraid to jot down notes. Bring your pen and paper into the interview to help you stay on track and take notes during the interview. "Taking notes is very important. It shows the recruiters that you're comfortable being you and are interested in understanding more or gaining more from the conversation than just getting the job," says Rishabh T., a second-year graduate student at Purdue University in Indiana.
To learn how to specifically tailor your reel during game time, check out these seven common interview questions—and how to ace your answers.
1. "What are your strengths?"
- Provide enough detail for the interviewer to picture you in a working environment. Include an example where you demonstrated problem-solving skills.
- Show enthusiasm for tasks that you successfully completed.
- Employers are likely to be impressed if you're in a challenging program or conducting difficult research and making progress in it.
"When I was working on a final project for my biology class, I was given a set of data I'd never seen before. I figured it out and took it to the team, and we combined our materials. It was a great experience—we worked diligently for a week, and we got a lot of praise on the final project. I really enjoyed bringing all the different aspects of our work together."
"I work well independently and also as part of a team."
"Everyone thinks I'm a pretty great person."
"I'm good at basketball."
2. "Tell me about yourself."
This question allows you to zero in on what you want the interviewer to know. "It's incumbent on the interviewee to be knowledgeable about the organization where they're interviewing for a job," says Henry. As such, you should use this question to talk about your experiences in a way that specifically highlights why you're a perfect fit. "This is your opportunity to control the narrative and make your case for why you should be hired," Henry says.
- If you're concerned about your GPA or something else that may be perceived as a weakness, think about how to frame it.
- Stay on topic. Only talk about things that are relevant to the position, not your entire life story.
"Let me start with my special assignment in electrical engineering last semester. That really appealed to me because it allowed me to be creative and visual while staying grounded in the technical skills of my field of study. In the past two years, I've found the classes and projects that bring together those ways of thinking really represent who I am."
"My aunt is a circuit court judge, and I've always admired her passion for her work and her drive to be successful in a difficult industry, which is why I'm pursuing a career in law. I spent the summer before college shadowing at a local law firm and loved learning about some of the less glamorous ins and outs of the profession."
"It took me a year or so to get my bearings at Entrepreneur University. Once I did, I was able to achieve a 3.0 average for the remainder of my undergraduate career."
"I'm the youngest of three brothers, and in the summer I enjoy surfing and music festivals."
"What would you like to know?" (Avoid answering with a question.)
3. "Why should we choose you?"
The interviewer is asking what you can do for the organization—not how the organization can help you. In your response, "be confident, but be humble—not arrogant," says Michelle Cook, a career and education counselor at Calgary Career Counselling in Alberta, Canada.
- "Use affirmative statements, such as 'I will bring' rather than 'I hope I can bring'," says Cook.
- Make sure to align your answer to the specifics of the job.
- Phrases like "I'm a people person" have no meaning. What does have meaning is an example of how you've successfully worked with or helped others.
"One of the reasons I'm an excellent candidate for this job is that I have a track record of going above and beyond. For example, in my last internship, my supervisor thought my work in spearheading a client event was so good that she had me present in the next client pitch."
"Here's why I'm so interested in joining you. I've read your literature and looked at your website several times. You're doing interesting things here, like the TPS Reports, and your company is growing. That excites me."
"This is a good commute from where I live."
"This role will look impressive on my résumé."
"I really need the money/experience."
(These are weak because they aren't relevant to the job and only benefit you, the interviewee.)
4. "Where do you want to be in five years?"
This is a tough one for a lot of people—no matter how experienced. Don't worry about having every detail of your life mapped out. "The employer [just wants] to see that you have some drive to learn and grow, in your role and in the company," says Cook.
- Bring the question back around to why you're the right person for this opportunity.
- Don't oversell your ambition by giving a specific answer or pie-in-the-sky scenario. Stay on track. This is about getting this job now, not your ultimate dreams.
"In my last position, because of the quality of my work on writing a funding grant, I was brought back to address a more demanding project. I don't know what opportunities would open up for me here, but I'm confident that they will be there."
"Serving as a leader in my community organization, I was able to sharpen my organizational and communication skills, which I think will serve me well in this position. I would like to see myself in this company for at least five years, as I expect to grow within the profession."
"I'm not sure—I don't like to plan that far ahead."
"I hope to make enough money to take a year off to travel."
"I hope to move to California/Barbados."
5. "What are your weaknesses?"
The key is to turn your negatives into a positive. "Be honest, but don't dwell on the negative," says Cook.
- Stick to one or two weaknesses—don't air all your dirty laundry.
- Be truthful without overexplaining. It's OK to admit a little vulnerability.
- Come up with something that enables you to bring the conversation back to reassuring them about your skills.
"I had previously thought a weakness of mine was talking to customers on the phone because I used to get a little nervous, but having to do it as part of my last job, I now feel much more confident."
"I thought it was hard for me to get up to speed on some systems, but I'm working hard at doing better, and it's paying off—I just aced my Excel course."
"Sometimes it's hard for me to receive criticism, but I've been working on that and have turned it into a positive way for me to improve myself."
"I'm a perfectionist." (This is vague; they don't know what it means.)
"I try too hard to please people."
"I do so much that others resent me."
6. "Can you bring leadership skills to this position?"
- Leadership potential is prized by companies and organizations.
- Leadership comes in many forms; it's not just about standing at the podium or getting elected. Think about your experience so far and the ways that you've positively influenced other people.
"An end-of-year review of a certain client account was needed while my supervisor was on maternity leave. I took over the process and made the deadline. The analysis was well received by the senior partner."
"I've done a lot of travel, mainly solo, but there are different ways to show leadership. One way is by having an expert voice that people listen to and perhaps emulate. In the writing and speaking I've done, I've encouraged and led people to explore the wider world."
"In my intramural Ultimate Frisbee club, they always had me arrange the games."
"My brothers always look to me to schedule the family meetings."
"I don't have examples, but I feel that people see me as a leader."
7. "Do you have any questions about this role or organization?"
This question gives you a perfect opportunity to get the interviewer to begin seeing you as a colleague rather than as a candidate. If they tell you what's going on in the company, that's a good sign.
- "Don't ask a question that you could have easily learned by doing some research," says Cook. "Also, don't ask questions about benefits, vacation, salary, etc.—leave these for when they call to offer the position."
- Ask open-ended questions that demonstrate your interest in the organization or role.
"What departments would I interface with?"
"What are the busiest quarters or periods for this organization?"
"What does a typical day look like in this role?"
"What states/countries are you in?"
"What are your company's goals in the next two years?"
"What are the biggest challenges facing this organization?"
"What kinds of initiatives are taken up to better serve the patients of this community?"
"What have others done to excel in this position, to go above and beyond what's listed in the job description?"
"What have others in the position struggled with the most?"
"What's the size of the team I would be working with, either directly or peripherally?"
"Do I get off the day off following the Fourth of July?"
"Where do I park?"
"Do I really have to come in at 8:30?"
"What time is lunch?"
1. Rigorously review your online footprint
Assume the interviewer will look at everything. Those photos with the red cups, your sloppy friend, or anything discriminatory—get rid of them.
2. Dress conservatively
You can never be too overdressed (unless you're wearing a tuxedo—that's a little much). Even if you're interviewing at a fast-paced, youthful internet company, you can't go wrong showing up in conservative attire (e.g., dress pants and a button-up top, or a knee-length dress with a blazer). Make sure the outfit is clean (no stains), crisp (not pulled out of a pile on the floor), and professional. For more corporate, conservative settings, you might consider covering tattoos or piercings.
3. Avoid bad-mouthing an old boss
Saying something negative about a previous employer can make you look like you lack respect or that you might be difficult to work with. "It's important for students to realize what it means to be a professional," says Henry. "Professional employees go out of their way to leave any employment experience, regardless of how bad it may have been for them, on good terms with their employer and supervisor."
Why? Former bosses can still influence your future job prospects. So keep it polite. When explaining why you left a role, try something like this: "I was there for a year, and I was excited about the publication. I was hired in a production role, and over time I realized what I was really interested in was developing content. That's why I'm looking to move on, but it's a great company."
4. Send a follow-up note
Show them that you follow through with a thank-you email expressing your gratitude for the chance to learn more about the role. "Include a sentence or two about something you're excited about that you learned in the interview, such as a project you would be working on," says Cook. "Finish with a sentence letting them know you would be happy to answer any other questions they may have and that you look forward to hearing from them soon." Send the note within 24 hours of the interview. Worst case, you don't get the job, but chances are you still have built your connections.

And the Other Washington Is Messed Up, Too
In a new op‐ed, I have the regrettable task of pointing out to my fellow Washingtonians (of the PNW rather than D.C. variety) that we have increased public school spending in the past decade by $1.6 billion and gotten _________ in return. Nothing. Nada. Rien du tout, mes concitoyens.
NAEP scores are pretty much flat at the end of high school, as are SAT scores. It is hard to argue that we really care about children's education when we're willing to waste $1.6 billion that is purportedly meant for that purpose. If politicians and voters in the Evergreen State do decide, at some point, to do something for children, the first step would be to stop wasting that $1.6 billion. The next step would be to follow the lead of other states, like Florida, that have found ways to improve student achievement while _lowering_ taxes.

IHOP to serve free pancakes
International House of Pancakes will offer free pancakes Feb. 5, on National Pancake Day.
Guests who show up at any IHOP in Reno, Sparks, Carson City or South Lake Tahoe between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. will be offered a free short stack of pancakes. In return, IHOP asks that guests donate what they would have spent on the pancakes to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. IHOP hopes to raise more than $3 million nationally to kick off the 2013 fundraising year for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
The annual National Pancake Day effort is designed to raise money and awareness for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, a nonprofit organization dedicated to saving and improving the lives of children, by raising funds for children's hospitals throughout the United States.
Guests are also encouraged to buy a Children's Miracle Network Hospitals paper balloon for an additional dollar that will be placed on the wall with a name. "Miracle Balloons" will be sold for $1 and $5 each. Miracle Balloon sales offer guests another way to show their support of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and contribute to the fundraising effort locally in northern Nevada.
This will mark the eighth year that IHOP has held National Pancake Day, which to date has raised more than $10 million dollars nationally for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and other local charities. In northern Nevada, Children's Miracle Network Hospitals has partnered with IHOP since 2006 and has raised more than $38,800 to benefit Renown Children's Hospital. All funds raised at local IHOP restaurants will be donated directly to Renown Children's Hospital.

Iran Al Alam TV, 23 September 2008
Adnan Oktar: The moral values of Islam are about to rule the world. There will be a Turkish-Islamic Union under Turkish leadership within the next 10 years, let me say that. I am here. If it does not happen you can come and remind me how I said it would. But it will definitely happen. But it will be under the leadership of Turkey and the Turkish nation, I can tell you that. I am giving details. Azerbaijan will unite with Turkey as two states, one nation. Syria will soon unite with Turkey, and Iraq will amalgamate with Turkey in the near future, and there will be a chain of such developments. The Caucasus Project will come about, and that is part of the Turkish-Islamic Union. These pipeline and railroad projects are the infrastructure for this unification. The Islamic Union meetings, Turkish Union meetings and the success thereof are all portents of this. Indeed, there is no other road at the moment. There is no other path for Islamic countries and for Turkey apart from the Turkish-Islamic Union. This is the destiny of Allah.
The Gulf Today, 2 November 2008
Adnan Oktar: The Turkish states will unite together under Turkish leadership. A Turkish-Islamic Union will come into being with the help of the Turkish Union, insha'Allah. This will be under Turkish leadership. We are gradually moving in that direction. The ideal thing is for Turkey to act as leader. Every nation state will remain independent, however. It will be a spiritual union, insha'Allah. Like the EU. Passports and visas will be lifted, and member countries will be able to trade freely with one another and live as brothers. The first foundation stone for this, insha'Allah, will be laid with Azerbaijan. And Syria from among the Islamic countries. Azerbaijan is both a Turkish and an Islamic country. Syria is our Muslim brother. We will unite with Syria, insha'Allah. These will be the first steps. Then there will be a process of successive steps. The Turkish-Islamic Union will become a reality within the next 10 or 15 years, insha'Allah. This is a duty that Turkey has had for many years now. We have seen this in the times of all our governments. Turkey has always acted as effective leader of the Turkish-Islamic world. It has made this felt everywhere. It acts as older brother everywhere, either directly or indirectly. Turkey gets involved in all disagreements. Turkey got involved in the formation of the Caucasian Alliance, for example. Turkey is capable of acting as intermediary in the event of disputes between other countries. Turkish leadership is evident, whether it be the natural gas pipeline project, the oil pipeline project or other projects. Turkey is already effectively doing this without any official announcement being made, and this will continue and grow.
The project will bring together Caspian, Middle Eastern and European countries in a single network. The developments that will take place are: New opportunities will arise to overcome the crisis caused by the nuclear program in Iran, which is expected to join Nabucco. The continuity of the EU's supply needs will be ensured. The project will be profoundly influenced by Turkey's relations with Iran, expected to provide gas. The Nabucco line will play a strategic role in northern Iraq being rid of terrorist groups and in the overcoming of Turkish security concerns. Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan, which will supply gas for the project, will serve a procurement role. The open invitation to Russia to take part in the project will secure energy and natural gas, peace and stability in the Caucasus. The pipeline will stretch from Turkey as far as Austria, via Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary. Some 2000 km of the 3300 km pipeline will run through Turkey. The project partners are, in order, BOTAS (Turkey), OMV (Austria), MOL (Hungary), Transgaz (Romania), Bulgargaz Energy and RWE (Germany). Work on the pipeline will begin in 2010. The first gas from the pipeline, with a total investment of 7.9 billion euros, will be pumped in 2014. During the construction stage, 4.5 billion euros will be invested in Turkey. US Assistant Secretary of State William Burns has recorded their delight at seeing Turkmenistan joining in Nabucco.

Facebook users with brand pages may have noticed an announcement at the top of their pages this morning, alerting them that New Facebook Pages are coming soon. You can preview your page and try out the new features now ahead of the full switchover, which is scheduled for March 30.
The main benefits, according to the Introducing New Facebook Pages resource, are the ability to brand pages with a unique cover photo, pinned posts at the top of the page to highlight quality content, and private messaging between pages and fans.
The larger cover photo and pinned posts are features similar to Twitter's enhanced brand pages. As we learned from brands sharing their experience with that format on Twitter, there are a few important tips and tricks for businesses who want to make the most of the new banner-style image without confusing fans:
- Pictures should be creative and engaging; straight promotional material was not as interesting to users on Twitter.
- Brand page cover pictures are not clickable; text links here may confuse fans.
- The pinned content spot is a great place to showcase video.
Brands have one month to get ready for the changeover to the new design on Facebook. Here are the new features, which you can see by taking the Preview offered in Facebook's announcement banner on your business page.
Facebook Cover Photo for Brand Pages
Cover photos for brands are the same size as those for personal profiles, so you're going to need an image 850 px wide by 315 px tall. These images can be changed or updated as often as you would like.
According to Facebook, cover images may not contain:
- Price or purchase information, such as "40% off" or "Download it at our website".
- Contact information, such as web address, email, mailing address or other information intended for your Page's About section.
- References to user interface elements, such as Like or Share, or any other Facebook site features.
- Calls to action, such as "Get it now" or "Tell your friends".
Other stipulations: "Covers must not be false, deceptive or misleading, and must not infringe on third parties' intellectual property. You may not encourage or incentivize people to upload your cover image to their personal timelines."
Adjust Brand Profile Picture
The profile picture now sits with the top half laid over the cover picture, so use contrast to showcase the profile image. Images must be at least 180 pixels wide and can be centered after uploading. Use a square image for best results.
Highlight Important Apps at the Top of the Page
By default, photos are always the first app displayed along the top of the profile. Brands can now choose which other apps to highlight. Red Bull, for example, has their redbull.tv app prominently displayed in the second spot.
The goal here is to display your best content or elements that keep users engaged and on page. Facebook will allow you to highlight a maximum of 12 apps, with only the first four showing (including photos) by default.
Review Your Timeline and Pin a Post
As with personal Timelines, the new brand page design allows you to expand posts to feature them more prominently on the page. Hover over a post and use the star icon to feature, or the pencil icon to hide or delete, posts.
Using the star icon to feature a post creates what Facebook calls a "Milestone." These expanded posts display at 843 pixels wide by 403 pixels tall, so keep that in mind when choosing which content to highlight.
Brands can now pin a post to the top of their feed. In the above example, Louis Vuitton has chosen to pin a video, an interactive element users will find engaging.
Redesigned Admin Panel Displays Recent Activity, Messages
A new admin panel for brand pages contains data on Recent Activity, New Messages, New Likes, and a link to Insights. Companies can turn the messaging feature off in Admin Settings.
Take the tour by signing into Facebook and visiting the page you Admin. Users can choose to publish now, or wait until March 30. Before publishing, make sure you've prepared:
- 850×315 Cover Picture
- Square Profile Picture, at least 180 px wide
- Pinned post to showcase top content
- Which posts to feature more prominently on your timeline
A few other features you may want to check out:
- Change the dates of your Page's posts
- Prevent posts by everyone from appearing on your page, turn off the ability for people to post on your page's timeline, or remove the Recent Posts by Others box from your page.
- Learn more about Sponsored Stories.
