Another problem is behind the starting point. You are able to see one of my sewer grates on the ceiling, but it's not well-aligned to the grid, so pls. fix it.
Cell said:
Anyway, on the route to the blue keycard, those two "POISON"/"RADIATION" signs on the gray texture must be fixed because it seems quite ugly that one second sign is appearing 90%-sunk into the ceiling.

I actually have a large lull in activity around the time of MAP11, (Jan 10-16, 2011 If im not mistaken) Furthermore I should have a running computer by that time. I'll take that, if possible.

I'm not keen on the pitch black start. I know you've done it because of the way Cell's descended into darkness but, while it looked cool disappearing into a dark tunnel in MAP02 it looks odd having just that black corner and I think it would look better if it was 96 brightness right through.
purist said:
I found ammo very tight at the start with a pistol. I'd either stick a shotgun or chaingun (or sargeant/chaingunner) nearer the start so the player can take care of the demons and imp without using the pistol. Other than that I wouldn't worry about adding any extra ammo as most the fights can be avoided or infighting provoked to save ammo.
purist said:
The first step into the room with the blue key appears to be the wrong texture - it doesn't match the other steps.
purist said:
The blue key room itself has a graphical glitch near the light next to the second door where the chaingunner is released from. I think this is related to sector 296 but I can't see exactly what the problem is.
purist said:
The switch that raises the bridge to the blue key doesn't work in Legacy, which breaks the map.
purist said:
The radiation sign Cell mentioned is mis-aligned in ZDoom.
purist said:
For a sewer/underground the map is quite spacious. This in itself is not a bad thing but it means in areas like the large room with the dead marine and the teleporting imps, demons and spectres you can simply run through without threat. Lost souls in this area might add a bit more menace.
purist said:
The tunnel, which is the exit, seems to have a raised block at the start and end - this looks odd as you would expect the sewage would be allowed to flow through.
purist said:
I'm not sure what to do with my map now as yours seems to end in a small pool of water surrounded by mountains! They way you described it I was expecting a larger area. Maybe move back the mountains and put a chasm for water to run through.

Thank you for the feedback and bug reporting.
It's not actually raised, but the reason why I stopped the sewage from leaking out of the end of the pipe was simple, there's no waterfall texture for the brown slime so I couldn't have it falling out of the end.

This looks pretty cool so far! I'll take map 12 if its open, if not anything after that will work.

Btw, cool map Melon. Didn't capture the sewer feel for me, but thats cause I imagine sewers differently... You know, circle-shaped hallways. The automap secret was in a little too easy place, though.

1. The blue key switch is still broken in Legacy. I don't know a lot about voodoo doll scripts but I think that's what is causing the problem. I'm not sure why the switch has such a complicated method in any case. Making the switch lower floor to lowest floor, using raised floors instead of lowered ceilings for the hitscanner trap 'doors' and giving them all the same tag would achieve the same end result without compromising port compatibility.
purist said:
2. The above no longer 'breaks' the map in Legacy as you can grab the blue key without the pillar lowering. Though this is obviously not your intention. Moving the blue key back a bit further or raising the pillar more might fix.
purist said:
3. I started replacing the FLOOR4_8 flats where you've used them as the bottom step thinking they were a mistake then it occured to me you might have used them on purpose. I think it looks a little haphazard having one oddly textured step but I've restored them since it's a matter of taste, not a bug.
purist said:
4. The open area with the teleporting demons and imps can still be dodged (in ZDoom I somehow did it without waking them all) but it's much better. I wouldn't change it any more.
purist said:
5. Your ending view is much improved but it no longer matches your story. Your story ends: The river outside is flowing fast down a steep rocky mountain side. You hesitate, but quickly make up your mind to jump as demons start teleporting in behind you. The river is now more like a stagnant swap, which is about level with the pipe - certainly not flowing fast down a steep rocky mountain side and DoomGuy would need only to step not hesitate and jump into the water. Was the floor meant to be lowered in this area??
The new ending is also making me rethink my map. Based on the ending you gave in your story I had two ideas for the start of MAP04. One was DoomGuy hitting the water unconcious and waking at the shore of some remote rocky land, the other was him struggling against the river current before finding and boarding an abandoned ship. Obviously both would seem a little ridiculous now!

John Cacciola, PhD, is an adjunct Associate Professor of Psychology in Psychiatry at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and a Senior Scientist at the Treatment Research Institute (TRI). Within the substance abuse field, his areas of research include diagnostic and psychosocial assessment, treatment outcomes, and co-occurring disorders. Dr. Cacciola has been extensively involved in the ongoing development of the Addiction Severity Index (ASI) and the Treatment Services Review (TSR). He has conducted reviews and published empirical work pertinent to assessment, treatment, and treatment outcomes issues for substance abuse clients with different profiles of psychiatric comorbidity.
Anna Rose Childress, PhD, is Research Associate Professor of Psychology in Psychiatry at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, and a Clinical Psychologist in the Drug Dependence Treatment Unit at the Philadelphia VA Medical Center. She is Director of the Brain-Behavioral Vulnerabilities Laboratory of the Center for Studies of Addiction, where she has conducted National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)-funded research projects since 1981. Dr. Childress' career-long interest in the brain substrates of pleasure and appetitive motivation emerged during her doctoral training in physiological psychology and psycho-pharmacology at Bryn Mawr College. Her doctoral dissertation mapped brain self-stimulation reward sites which were sensitive to blockade by the opioid anatagonist, naloxone. During her post-doctoral training at Penn, Dr. Childress began to work with humans and attempted to block alcohol euphoria (in Penn students) with naloxone borrowed from Dr. Charles P. O'Brien. Dr. O'Brien introduced her to a natural arena for her research interests in reward and motivation: the clinical problem of addiction. Dr. Childress' research in drug motivation has been widely disseminated. She has authored or co-authored dozens of peer-reviewed research articles and chapters, and is regularly invited to present her work in both national and international (England, Spain, Germany, Canada, France, Mexico) fora. Dr. Childress has often been an invited panelist in NIDA/NIH-sponsored forums on addiction treatment, behavioral strategies, drug craving, animal models of addiction, medications development strategies, and neuroimaging in substance abuse. She has served as a regular and ad-hoc member of NIDA study sections, and currently serves as on the NIDA Board of Scientific Counselors, as a reviewer of the Intramural Research Program at the National Addiction Research Center. Her current research interests include: imaging of cue-triggered cocaine motivation (GO!) and its modulation ("STOP!") by behavioral or pharmacologic interventions; imaging of limbic activation by "unseen" drug cues; modulation of brain response to cocaine cues by GABAergics; and frontal brain-behavioral deficits as additional risk factors.
James W. Cornish, MD, Director of the Novel Interventions in Criminal Justice Populations Division, is a board-certified psychiatrist who has specialized in substance abuse research and treatment since 1988. He is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania and a staff psychiatrist in the Behavioral Health Service at the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC). Dr. Cornish has conducted and supervised NIH-supported clinical trials of medication treatments for substance abusers. His current research involves medication treatment for opioid-dependent persons in the criminal justice system. He has received several individual grants from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and also is component Principal Investigator for several NIDA-supported Center Grants. He was a Visiting Professor in Psychiatry at the Université de Bordeaux (France) in 1994-95. He has over thirty, peer-reviewed, scientific publications and is a member of the American Psychiatric Association, College on Problems of Drug Dependence, and the John Morgan Society. Dr. Cornish graduated from Jefferson Medical College and completed 3 years of residency in surgery (Bryn Mawr Hospital) and 3 years in psychiatry and a fellowship in Administrative Psychiatry at Norristown State Hospital. He has had industrial experience as Project Director, Psychotherapeutics and Anesthesia Departments for Janssen Pharmaceutica (J&J Family of Companies).
Donna M. Coviello, PhD, is a Research Assistant Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Her research interests include employment among substance abusers, interventions for criminal justice populations, and continuum of care protocols. Through National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) funding from a behavioral therapies development grant, Dr. Coviello has developed a manualized intervention that integrates employment services with drug counseling and is currently the Principal Investigator on a NIDA-funded study evaluating the effectiveness and benefit-costs of this integrated intervention for offenders who are mandated to drug treatment. She is also collaborating on a study of depot naltrexone to prevent relapse in probationers and parolees with a history of opiate dependence and on research evaluating the effectiveness of telephone-based continuing care. Recent publications include the impact of providing outreach case management for discharged methadone patients and the effectiveness of vocational problem-solving on motivation and action steps toward obtaining employment.
Charles A. Dackis, MD earned his MD at Duke University and completed his psychiatric residency at Columbia University, New York State Psychiatric Institute. He is board-certified in Psychiatry and Addiction Psychiatry. Dr. Dackis joined the University of Pennsylvania in 1998 after serving as Medical Director of specialized psychiatric hospitals in New Jersey for the preceding 12 years. He also worked as a consultant in substance abuse for the National Football League. In 1984, Dr. Dackis developed the dopamine depletion hypothesis of cocaine dependence. Dr. Dackis also works as an investigator in several clinical trials within the Center for Studies of Addiction, and has been primarily responsible for researching modafinil treatment for cocaine dependence at Penn. His research interests include psychopharmacology, co-occurring disorders, and the neurobiology of addiction. Dr. Dackis is actively involved in medical student and psychiatric resident education at Penn and has authored more than 80 publications in the area of addictive and co-occurring disorders. He is currently the Medical Director of Psychiatric Clinical Services for the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania. He is also Medical Director of Psychiatric Clinical Services at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center.
Teresa Franklin, PhD is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry. Dr. Franklin received her PhD in Neuroscience at Hahnemann University, Philadelphia in 1999. During that time she used immunohistochemistry, tract tracing, genetic markers and agonists/antagonists to study conditioned drug-motivated responses in rodents. This preclinical neuroscience background was translated to human addiction research in her postdoctoral work at the Center for the Study of Addiction in the Brain and Behavioral Vulnerabilities Laboratory. In 2002 she was promoted to Assistant Professor of Neuroscience in the Department of Psychiatry and continues to conduct her research at the Center. Dr. Franklin's expertise lies in the use of neuroimaging tools such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), voxel based morphometry and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) to study the neurological underpinnings of craving, brought on my reminders of addictive drugs, in addicted individuals. Her primary research interests include characterizing the effects of potential anti-relapse/anti-craving agents on the brain's responses to drug reminders. She also studies the influence of genetic variability, sex and menstrual cycle phase on addictive (brain and behavioral) processes. Dr. Franklin's ultimate goal, and that of contemporary medicine, is to use the variability in brain, behavior and genetics to 'type' an individual to a particular medication, so that treatment strategies can be tailored to manage individual vulnerabilities to aid in conquering addiction.
Kyle M. Kampman, MD, Director and Medical Director of the Addiction Treatment and Medication Development Division, graduated from Northwestern University in 1981 and Tulane University School of Medicine in 1985. He interned at the National Naval Medical Center at Bethesda Maryland and served as a general medical officer in the Navy from 1985 until 1990.

In 1994 he joined the faculty in the Department of Psychiatry as an assistant professor. He was promoted to associate professor in 2003. Dr. Kampman has conducted clinical research and published a number of papers on the treatment of addictive disorders. He is a principal investigator of a project in the Cocaine Medication Development Center and has conducted a number of National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)- funded clinical trials evaluating pharmacotherapies for the treatment of cocaine dependence. His current research interests include the evaluation and treatment of cocaine withdrawal symptoms. He is currently evaluating the usefulness of topiramate for the treatment of cocaine and alcohol dependence, quetiapine for the treatment of alcohol dependence and a vaccine for the treatment of cocaine dependence.
Henry R. Kranzler, MD, Director of the Center for Studies of Addiction, received his medical degree from Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and completed a psychiatric residency and a fellowship in alcohol research at the University of Connecticut Health Center. A clinical addiction psychiatrist for more than 20 years, Dr. Kranzler now devotes his time to research, research administration, and teaching. His research focuses on the genetics and pharmacological treatment of alcohol and drug dependence and common co-morbid psychiatric disorders, as well as studies of the pharmacogenetics of substance dependence.
Dr. Kranzler's research has been continuously supported since 1987 by grants from NIAAA and NIDA. He has authored or co-authored more than 400 journal articles, book chapters, and other publications. He chaired the NIAAA Clinical and Treatment Subcommittee, has been a frequent journal reviewer, and is a member of the editorial boards of six journals (serving as Editor of Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research). Dr. Kranzler's contributions to the field of alcohol research include advancing clinical trials methodology as it relates to pharmacological treatment, the identification of interactive effects of serotonergic medications with alcoholism subtypes, the use of a targeted approach to naltrexone treatment of heavy drinkers, the development of long-acting naltrexone as a treatment option, and the effects of topiramate on heavy drinking. In addition, his work has contributed to the identification or characterization of specific genes influencing the risk for dependence on alcohol, nicotine, cocaine, and opioids; the potential mechanism of the effects of alcohol through mediators such as neuroactive steroids, and genetic moderators of the response to alcohol treatment, including a recent study showing genetic moderation of topiramate treatment, which supports a novel mechanism for that drug's effect on drinking behavior.

Under his direction, over 3,000 drug-using subjects from Philadelphia have been enrolled in HIV studies known collectively as the Risk Assessment Projects (RAP). Dr. Metzger's research division has developed innovative community-based strategies for recruiting and retaining individuals at high risk of HIV infection into longitudinal studies. Currently, his work involves testing the safety and efficacy of behavioral and biomedical prevention interventions including vaginal microbicides, HIV vaccines, social networks, and agonist treatment strategies in Philadelphia, Thailand, China, and Ukraine. A primary objective of this work has been to provide valid and reliable data that can increase understanding of the protective effects of participation in substance abuse treatment.
Charles P. O'Brien, MD, PhD, Vice Chair of Psychiatry, is a native of New Orleans. He earned MD and PhD degrees from Tulane University.

*Your pronation type is determined by the natural motion your feet apply throughout your running gait. When you pronate your foot rolls from either the outer edge, inner edge or not at all. If your foot rolls to the outer edge when you run, you are an underpronator, if it rolls to the inner edge you are a overpronator and if your foot doesn't roll at all you are a neutral or stable runner.

All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it. 2. Barack Obama, 'You didn't build that' comment that was used effectively by Republicans (unedited): There are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business — you didn't build that. 3. Mitt Romney's comment on women during a presidential debate that set the Internet ablaze with memes galore. Referring to his time as Massachusetts governor: I had the chance to pull together a cabinet, and all the applicants seemed to be men. I went to a number of women's groups and said, 'Can you help us find folks?' and they brought us whole binders full of women. 4. Mitt Romney on what he would cut in spending during the first presidential debate: What things would I cut from spending? Well, first of all, I will eliminate all programs by this test, if they don't pass it: Is the program so critical it's worth borrowing money from China to pay for it? And if not, I'll get rid of it. Obamacare's on my list. ... I'm sorry, Jim, I'm going to stop the subsidy to PBS. I'm going to stop other things. I like PBS, I love Big Bird. Actually like you, too. But I'm not going to -- I'm not going to keep on spending money on things to borrow money from China to pay for. That's number one. 5. Barack Obama to Mitt Romney in the second presidential debate: I don't look at my pension. It's not as big as yours so it doesn't take as long. 6. Barack Obama's snarky response to Mitt Romney on military spending during the presidential debate on Foreign Policy: You mentioned the Navy, for example, and that we have fewer ships than we did in 1916. Well, governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets, because the nature of our military's changed. We have these things called aircraft carriers, where planes land on them. We have ships going underwater, nuclear submarines. And so the question is not a game of battleship where we're counting ships but what our capabilities are. 7. Barack Obama's other snarky response to Mitt Romney during the Foreign Policy debate: Gov. Romney, I'm glad that you recognize that Al Qaeda is a threat because a few months ago when you asked what's the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia – not Al Qaeda – you said Russia. The 1980s are now calling and asking for their foreign policy back. Top Surrogate Quotes: 1. Vice President Joe Biden's bumper sticker quote at the Democratic National Convention (and during campaign stumps) that summed up Obama's reelection: Osama bin Laden is dead, and General Motors is alive. 2. Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom's gaffe that may have tied Romney's hands in the general election after conservatives pounced on the remarks: Well, I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign. Everything changes. It's almost like an Etch A Sketch. You can kind of shake it up and restart all over again. 3. Clint Eastwood, talking to an empty chair at the Republican National Convention: What do you want me to tell Romney? I can't tell him to do that. I can't tell him to do that to himself. You're crazy. You're absolutely crazy. You're getting as bad as Biden. 4. Bill Clinton winning over audiences during his speech at the Democratic National Convention: Now, people ask me all the time how we got four surplus budgets in a row. What new ideas did we bring to Washington? I always give a one-word answer: Arithmetic… President Obama's plan cuts the debt, honors our values, brightens the future of our children, our families and our nation. It's a heck of a lot better. It passes the arithmetic test, and far more important, it passes the values test. 5. Pennsylvania Republican House Majority Leader Mike Turzai on aiding Romney's victory: Voter ID, which is gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania, done. 6. House Speaker John Boehner, quoted by Roll Call in July 2012: The American people probably aren't going to fall in love with Mitt Romney. 7. Rick Santorum speaking to Tea Party activists in Michigan: President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college. What a snob! 8. Sarah Palin to the Weekly Standard in September 2012: With so much at stake in this election, both Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan should 'go rogue.' What was your favorite political line of the 2012 election? Tweet Date edited: 12/28/2012 (3:45PM) Comments Rules for Comments We reserve the right to remove any post or user.

By PATSY STODDARD, Editorand COREY BLUEMEL, Staff Writer
At the recent summit sponsored by Sen. Bob Bennett one of the break out sessions was on securing funding to start a business or expand a current business.
Stan Nakano of the Utah office of the Small Business Administration said they awarded 2,012 loans last year and a record number of those were for women and minorities. Start-up loans numbered 628.
The four member panel consisted of those involved in lending money to companies and individuals. Steve Price, Gordon Holt, Randy Horiuchi, and Richard Carrig spoke of their different institutions and their involvement in loans. Holt is a trustee for the Utah Business Lending Corporation.
This corporation assists small businesses in the state by offering microlending and business education services, administering a rural lending program for the Dept. of Agriculture and a revolving loan fund for Salt Lake county. Holt is also a SCORE counselor who lends support to those beginning businesses with his expert advice.
Horiuchi is the vice president of Business Development, Mountain West Small Business Finance. This company is one of the leading SBA lenders in the country.
Price is the assistant director for the SBA and he manages the SBA financial and technical assistance programs in the state. Over the past five years the Utah SBA office has approved over $1 billion in small business loans.
Carrig is responsible for the administration of over a dozen rural business and cooperative programs.
Price reminded everyone of how Nike shoes began in a garage. One day a guy in Oregon was cleaning out his garage and took an old waffle iron and softened a piece of rubber and glued it on his shoes and it gave him faster starts in the races he liked to run. He had people asking him to make them shoes like his. So he approached a bank and asked for $50,000 to start his company. His business was to melt tires in waffle irons and make shoes with them. "If you have an idea you think will work, it doesn't always fall within the conventional guidelines. The SBA will guarantee your loan to the lender. The SBA helps small businesses get access to capital. It is important to be well prepared and do your business plan. Sometimes it's difficult to get a lender to buy into your idea," said Price.
"Not everyone is well versed in every aspect of running a business. Putting together a business plan, doing market research, keeping books; the tasks involved can be daunting. We have the SCORE program which is comprised of businessmen who will help out and offer free business counseling," said Price.
Other programs which are beneficial are the Women's business center. The SBA will also help with procurement of federal contracts and selling products to the government. The SBA will also help the economically disadvantaged get government contracts. There is also money to be made in international trade. "Think about exporting products. Ninety-five percent of the world's population is outside of the United States and two-thirds of the world's money is outside of the United States. Think about exporting on the international market. There is a man who buys used levis and resells them in a foreign market. Another man exports used railroad ties. Another man imports shrimp for sale from Japan. One day on a tour in Japan he asked them what the shrimp ate and they told him brine shrimp and fly eggs. Now this man exports the brine shrimp from the Great Salt Lake to feed the shrimp which he ships back in to sell in the American market," said Price.
The SBA is one of the best kept secrets. "We want small business to succeed and create jobs. When loans are stretched out over a longer period of time then it helps with cash flow. Businesses can stay in business longer. The people in Utah are entrepreneurs. They are willing to take risk. But, Utah is also second in bankruptcy. You must do your homework. On the SBA website. www.sba.gov, there are 50,000 pages of information for small business owners. Last year Nike was a $13 billion company and it started in a garage," said Price.
Horiuchi said their company is a leader in small business finance and SBA loans. They have helped create billions of dollars in capital and 50,000 jobs were created in rural Utah. In the Uintah Basin area they helped with the Roosevelt bowling alley and Stewarts Market. They help in the area of obtaining land, the building and equipment for the business. "If you don't use this program, (SBA) you lose money. We offer fixed rate loans for up to 20 years at 6.8 percent and at a bank you would pay 8.5 percent or even higher. You save money and get a fixed rate. You can keep a liquid cash flow, buy inventory, hire an employee; that extra cash flow is very important. We've been involved in some very interesting projects," said Horiuchi.
Holt said he gives loans for the Department of Agriculture, these are business loans, not farm loans. They help people acquire buildings, because sometimes rent is higher than just making payments on your own building. "I love lending. You need to ask yourself, 'what economic benefit does your idea have?' We loan for buildings, machinery and equipment. Any money needed the department will loan. We loaned to three movie theatres, a bed and breakfast, tractor repair, grocery store, pet cremation and many others. We have helped legal immigrants who needed a computer and cooking equipment to start their own restaurant. It's fun to do lending. The last three people I helped had been turned down by the banks. I helped them fix a few things and got them the loan. Last week on a loan I couldn't find the money in Utah so I contacted a niche lender in Tennessee who said OK and we secured the loan. You need to find the right bank at the right time. I have operated a business also and sat at both sides of the table. I help people get money for the least cost," said Holt.
Carrig said he works with an administration that has 40 programs. They help with business and economic development. They help set up longer term loans for real estate. Their office guarantees larger loan amounts. They help with startup businesses and fund infrastructure. They help strengthen rural economics and provide good quality jobs in rural communities. They have been funding many alternative energy sources development lately. They have also been working on value added products and working with farmers and ranchers to get more profit for their products.
Two-thirds of SBA loans go to existing businesses for expansion and valid purposes.

Media is getting more complex and users expect more from your nonprofit website
as you compete for their valuable time and attention. We build you a very professional
website customized to your needs and based on our 4,000+ website design library.
The customization includes innovative banner graphics that brand your organization
and quickly tell your visitors who you are and what you do.
However, we always have to remember that after a few seconds, the design no longer
the same value. It is your effective content, our advanced interactive features,
and an action oriented web page that will make your site a great success. If you
want more volunteers, a page for them to learn more is not enough. A quick volunteer
form asking for more information on that same page is what you need to create a
contact that could last for many years. With CharityAdvantage, your beautiful nonprofit
web design will make a positive first impression and the interactive and database
management tools will make your site more effective.
How much money have you earned online in the last five years? Without an industry
standard fundraising form right on your donation page and ready to engage your donors
and give them immediate interactivity, you have already lost their interest and
their support. It can happen that fast. Donors don't like to click. They like
to donate. We make it easy for them.
Your new donations page becomes your portal to online funding. You can raise funds
for all your campaigns and appeals in one place. As you send mass emails and use
social media connections to drive traffic to this page, your fundraising success
begins. Your donors want to support you but they need to learn of your needs (donor
education), understand how their funding solves problems (donor empowerment) and
make their giving decision (donor action). Our online donations system is designed
with the intelligence you need to succeed in the competition for donor funds.
The marketing method with the highest response rate is email and mass email multiplies
the effect. With your website database collecting email addresses of those joining
your mailing list, contacting you with questions, making donations, and using your
custom forms like events, volunteers and more, you now have a base to grow your
organization through effective mass email communication.
Our mass emailer allows you to send compelling emails with relevant subjects to
segments of your list or your entire list with one click. You must tell the world
about your work, its success, and the impact it is making and do it often. Nonprofits
don't stand still. Your constituents need to hear about how you are moving forward,
solving problems, and achieving success. Then they are ready to donate knowing that
their valuable dollars are being used to generate more success.
Sharing files and documents is easy using our cloud based technology. Uploading
audio, video, and other documents such as PDF's can be done on a daily basis
and it can offer you the ability to collaborate with other team members.
Many of our users create Secure Pages (explained below) and use the Cloud to share
information with particular groups that require a login. You can share information
with members, volunteers, staff, board members and more. You can also share information
with just one person. For example, if you needed to share sensitive data with one
person, you could upload the data to the cloud, and only the assigned person could
have access.
You may be using a mobile device right now to view our site. We expect that many
of your web users will be using mobile as well. Your new website will be mobile
friendly for their ease of viewing as well as completing transactions such as online
donations, event registrations, volunteer forms, etc.
You may also use a mobile device to log into your CharityAdvantage account and use
some of the features and tools. Our system is designed for the latest mobile technologies
and works on all mobile platforms.
We have a complete online donation system for donors, but perhaps you need to sell
products online or collect payments for events, renewals or more.
Our online store and shopping cart can handle two products or several hundred. Inventory,
sales tax, and shipping are just a few of its many features. For other transactions
such as membership payments or event registrations, you can use our custom form
builder to create your form and then connect it to a payment processor for credit/debit
card payments.
Some organizations have the need to offer login permissions to certain groups so
the group can see information that only pertains to them. Our system allows you
to create unlimited groups and manage the login information for each user.
You can then add web pages specific to each group and offer each group their own
unique web experience. You can even have users log into an entire portal of secure
web pages that only they can view with its own menu and "home" page.
We often wonder why some hosting companies use budget servers. CharityAdvantage
always uses the fastest servers with latest technology.
Our engineers monitor our systems 24/7 and our hosting environment uses all the
industry standard security protocols to insure your data safety. Our backup procedures
are timely and thorough.
Your website is your message and a main marketing channel to your constituents.
With a fast changing world of content and information, it is critical that you keep
your site fresh and timely. Managing your website is simple with our sophisticated
web editor.
Based on an easy to use Microsoft Office platform with familiar tools and icons,
your web content is right where you need it – in front of you ready for edits and
exciting content. No technical skills or web design experience are needed and support
is always available.
Most businesses rely on data for success and the field of marketing is largely based
on this. Nonprofits must be competitive marketers as well and this means intelligent
communications, mass emailing, digital fundraising and more. Unfortunately, most
nonprofits do not have the budgets for a website that also has a database collecting
information from all their interactive forms online. As a matter of fact, less than
1% of all nonprofits are using database technology and those that do are investing
a lot of money in those systems.
CharityAdvantage includes a powerful database management system at no extra cost.
You will find incredible value in this added feature, and come to rely on it in
many areas of your nonprofit's administration. Our database system collects information,
in a highly secure hosting environment, from all the forms that are on your website
including "Join Our List" (can be on every page), "Contact Us" (can be on every
page), "Donate Now" (one page, one form), and "Custom Forms" (with unlimited possibilities
like events, applications, volunteers, memberships, and more). Use CharityAdvantage
as your database manager by logging into your account and interact with your records,
and/or export the data to your own internal systems, and/or send out mass email
to different segments or everyone in your database.
Calendars are a popular form of website interactivity. If your organization posts
events on a calendar your users will find it easy to learn more about them and take
action. Our system enables you to enter the time, date, location, and full description
for all your events. If you have a dedicated web page for a particular event, you
can insert a link into your calendar description.
If you need a form so attendees can register for an event, you can use our custom
form feature to build the form to your exact requirements and then edit it anytime.
Connect your form to ecommerce credit/debit cards using our system. With full database
connectivity of all online forms, you will also have records of all attendees and
be able to send mass email to them as a segment using our mass emailer. From posting
an event on a calendar to sending out mass email to attendees, our system has everything
you need to manage your event including information, registration, payment, and
email communication.
Facebook, You Tube, Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and others all serve
a unique purpose but your website is the only main digital portal into your nonprofit.
Sending traffic to your website from social media sites can be one of their main
purposes since once users are on your site there is much more to do. They can also
connect with other social media through your site using links, icons, plug-ins,
and feeds. Your site will always be the center of your web world and can serve as
a central source of your social media.
Sometimes you need a custom form built to your exact needs and the ability to change
it at any time. Our form builder offers that advanced capability and also connects
to your database so all your information is saved.
Custom forms are perfect for applications, registrations, volunteers, employees,
members, etc. You can have as many custom forms as you want with each one connecting
to a different segment in your database. This offers you the features of interacting,
exporting, and/or mass emailing any segment any time.
You need qualified traffic to your website from Google and other search engines.
Users need relevant information about your website displayed on search engines to
know if a click should take place. We can help you generate that traffic to your
Every web page can be optimized for search engines with the exact Page Title, Page
Description and Keywords so the intelligent connection can be made. That means that
your Volunteer page can be optimized to recruit those searching specifically for
"volunteers" both in your "geographic area" and in your
"area of service".
If you need to post photos on your nonprofit website our latest photo gallery software
will impress your website users.
Other plug-ins include our popular discussion forums, survey polls, mini calendars,
what's new postings, national news based on topic, mailing list forms, and more.
Privacy Policy
Even though our system is easy to use, there may be times when you have a question
and require support. Our highly trained staff has many years of experience in our
technology and understands your needs. Because we offer so many features and each
one has so many options, most questions revolve around functionality.
Users ask questions like "Can I put more than one event on a calendar day",
"Can I edit the donation's acknowledgement email that is sent after
my donor completes the form", and so many more. The usual answer is "Yes".
CharityAdvantage is a full service provider for nonprofits and our entire system
is fully integrative. Modules communicate with each other and advanced intelligence
is built into the entire system which we support.
Many users who come to us have a web host, a web company (because they can't
edit their own site), a donations provider, a mass email provider, a calendar or
events provider and more. With CharityAdvantage as your digital partner, we bring
all those pieces together in one easy to use service that gives you support in one
place. Your time is valuable and we make it easier for you to manage your web solution.

Video and chat help e-retailers get personal with customers.
ITSRx is an online specialty pharmacy that dispenses drugs for serious and chronic diseases like cancer, hepatitis C and multiple sclerosis. Many of the medications have to be injected, which means the retailer's customer service agents often have to assuage the concerns of those new to the drugs.
For years the retailer handled those requests via e-mail, phone, mail or fax. But last September it launched both a webcam-based video chat and a text-based live chat program. The video chat service gives customers the option of scheduling one-on-one private consultations via webcam with ITSRx pharmacists. A customer, for example, can show the pharmacist how he is injecting the needle to see if he is doing it correctly. Or he can talk with the pharmacist about drug interactions or side effects.
"Customers can be 1,500 miles away from the pharmacist but video chat brings them together like they are in person," says Brian Smith, director of information technology at ITSRx. And the retailer's text-based chat lets consumers get order-related questions—such as scheduling delivery and refill requests—answered quickly.
Since adding the two chat options, ITSRx's call volume dropped, saving the company about 25% in call-related costs. Moreover, the pharmacy's web site conversion rate increased 20%.
The retailer is not alone in adding new technologies like video chat and more established methods like live chat to enhance customer service. A recent survey from market research firm Datamonitor shows 98% of companies offer phone support, 90% e-mail support and 25% live chat. Each additional service channel means more consumers can get the help they need, however they want it.
Live chat
More web retailers are adding live chat as consumers become more comfortable with communicating by typing questions and comments into chat boxes on web sites. For instance, 58% of U.S. consumers say they've interacted with an e-retailer using live chat, up from 54% last year, according to a recent survey by retail consultancy The E-tailing Group Inc. Moreover, 20% of consumers say live chat is their preferred way to interact with a merchant.
"Adoption is on the rise generally, and there is a significant population of web site visitors who prefer live chat as a contact method," says Lauren Freedman, president of The E-tailing Group. "It's only been a short time that consumers have truly been able to take advantage of live chat, and to see that it is almost equal in preference to the telephone is exciting and transformative."
Chat's effectiveness was particularly apparent during the 2010 holiday season when 77% of e-retailers who used live chat rated it a critical communication method, up from 69% a year earlier, according to a recent survey. In part that's because more than half, 54%, said customers who engaged in online chats with retailers over the holidays converted to a lead or sale 20% or more of the time.
The survey also found that proactive chat—when an e-retailer invites a consumer to chat based on her on-site behavior—yielded higher conversion rates than when consumers asked to chat with the e-retailer.
Video chat
Chat is about building connections, says Joan Conlin, vice president of customer care services at Lands' End, which is a subsidiary of Sears Holdings Corp.
Fostering that relationship is important, she says. "Establishing personal connections with our customers has always been an important part of who we are at Lands' End," says Conlin. "Offering our LandsEnd.com users real-time, one-on-one personal shopper assistance makes online shopping even more efficient and enjoyable."
The retailer recently launched Lands' End Live, a new live video chat service that lets shoppers see and talk to a personal shopping assistant as they trade messages on LandsEnd.com. The retailer says the service is the first of its kind offered by an apparel retailer in the U.S.—making it a novelty that attracts consumers' attention.
It's a one-way video service: the customer can see the retailer's agent, but not the other way around. That way the consumer can be comfortable shopping in her pajamas. Meanwhile, the personal shopping assistants can navigate the site, provide product recommendations, compare merchandise, demonstrate product features and discuss details about merchandise colors and patterns.
Shoppers on LandsEnd.com access the online tool by clicking the Live Help button on the site's customer service pages. The site opens a brief welcome video, and shoppers can get more details by selecting the Find Out More option. They can launch the video chat by clicking the Help Me Now button at the bottom of the browser window.
Web site visitors who launch Lands' End Live video chat can communicate with the agent via voice using a headset or their computer's built-in microphone and speakers, or by typing in comments into a text message box. Lands' End personal shoppers can demonstrate product features and details, as well as help navigate the web site regardless of the chat option selected.
Serving the customer
Retailers have ample possibilities when it comes to deciding what customer service tools to offer—regardless of whether they outsource some or all of their customer service functions. But key to determining what tools a retailer needs is a thorough understanding of who its customers are, says Justin Christopher, marketing and sales director of Jenson USA, a retailer of bicycle and accessories.
For instance, because roughly 15% of Jenson USA's sales come from abroad, the retailer offers a language translator in its live chat. And because its high-end bicycles have long sales cycles, consumers—particularly those who will have to deal with an international shipment—want to ensure the product meets their expectations, he says.
Meanwhile, a retailer like Office Depot Inc. aims to speed up its customers' ordering process by using a customer relationship management system that determines whether the consumer has called the retailer before, the content of previous contacts with customer service, and, if he's a member of the retailer's Worklife Rewards program, nearly every item he's ordered in the past.

Badoo.com reveals "7 Ways To Meet Your Prince"
To catch a Prince: "Seven golden rules" revealed by global study of royal romances
• Kate's met her prince. Want to meet your own? Seven-point plan is born from Badoo.com study of 107 romances since World War II
• Forget kissing frogs. Best strategy is: work in media or showbiz; attend university (ideally, Cambridge); think sporty (ideally, tennis); get on your party shoes; target Europe (ideally, Monaco or Scandinavia)
Kate's met her prince. Want to meet your own?
It's easier than you think, provided you know how – according to a global study of 107 royal romances since World War II, commissioned by Badoo.com (www.badoo.com), the world's largest social networking site for meeting new people.
All you need is to follow the "Seven Golden Rules" for meeting a prince, uncovered by Badoo's analysis of the recent historical data.
"Until now, the only known strategy for meeting a prince has been to kiss lots of frogs", says Lloyd Price, Badoo's Director of Marketing. "We have produced the first real strategy based on statistical analysis of hard data."
The other good news is that you don't have to be royal yourself to make Badoo's rules work. Nearly three-quarters (71%) of the women who romanced European princes in Badoo's study were commoners, rather than royals or aristocrats.
What's more, there are more princes to go round than you think. There are still over 30 reigning royal families worldwide, plus assorted European aristocrats and ex-royals still entitled to call themselves "prince". The princes in Badoo's study come from 30 countries, 33 families and four continents.
So, ditch the frogs. Think strategic and follow Badoo's seven steps towards catching a prince of your own.
Badoo's "Seven Golden Rules", In Brief
1. Think Global – Nearly Half Of Princes Marry Foreigners
2. Target Europe – Ideally, Monaco or Scandinavia
3. Get Educated – University Is The New Royal Marriage Market
4. Get On Your Party Shoes – Princes Like To Party
5. Think Sporty – Best Of All, Play Tennis
6. Get A Job – Ideally, In Media or Showbusiness
7. Fame Helps – Boost Your Odds By Becoming Famous
To Catch A Prince: The Rules In More Detail
• Rule 1: Think Global – Nearly Half Of Princes Marry Foreigners
• Statistics: 43% of princes and 63% of European ones in Badoo's study married or had long-term relationships with foreign women.
• Tactic: Think global. Leave home.
• Analysis: In the past, princes married foreign princesses for reasons of dynastic alliance and national strategy. Nowadays, they still marry foreigners but for love not lineage and meet by chance not arrangement in our increasingly globalized world.
• Examples
· Mary Donaldson, now Crown Princess of Denmark, was an ordinary Australian gal when she first met Prince Frederik of Denmark at a Sydney bar in 2000.
· The woman now known to the world as Queen Rania of Jordan was plain Rania al Yassin from Kuwait when she first met King Abdullah of Jordan, when he was still a prince.
· Josephine Trevorrow from Cornwall in the UK married Tunku Mahmud Iskandar, a Malaysian prince, in 1956.
Rule 2: Target Europe – Ideally, Monaco or Scandinavia
• Statistics: European princes are far more likely to romance both commoners and foreigners than are princes elsewhere.
Only 6% of the European princes in Badoo's study romanced women who were fellow royals, compared to 26% of princes globally. 71% of European princes romanced commoners versus 36% of princes globally. 63% of European princes romanced foreigners versus 43% globally.
• Analysis: Non-European royal families still retain a more traditional approach to marriage. South-East Asian and Middle-Eastern princes are more likely to have arranged marriages, while Middle-Eastern societies generally offer less chance for women to meet princes in less traditional circumstances.
• Tactic: Unless you are royal yourself, target European royal families, best of all those in Monaco and Scandinavia, the ones most open to commoners of almost any background, profession or nationality.
Beyond Europe, target Jordan and Japan, since princes in both countries now have a track record of more adventurous marriages.
· Charlene Wittstock, Zimbabwe-born fiancée to Prince Albert II of Monaco, is a former Olympic swimmer for South Africa, who first met Albert when she was competing in a swimming competition in Monaco in 2000.
· Grace Kelly, the Hollywood actress, met her future husband, Prince Rainier of Monaco, when Kelly was invited to Rainier's palace for a photo-shoot during the Cannes Film Festival of 1955.
· Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark, was plain Mary Donaldson, the daughter of an Australian mathematician, when she met Frederik Crown Prince of Denmark at the Slip Inn in Sydney, when Frederick was attending the Sydney Olympics in 2000.
Rule 3: Get Educated – University Is The New Royal Marriage Market
• Statistics: 10% of the relationships studied by Badoo began as student romances: nine at university, two at school. The figure for European princes was even higher (12%).
• Tactic: Target a top university, since princes are more likely to attend one. Best of all, target Cambridge, the only university in Badoo's study to produce two royal romances.
• Analysis: Kate is not the first girl to meet a prince at university. Eight others in Badoo's study did the same.
• Examples:
Maria Teresa Mestre, a Cuban, met her future husband, Prince Henri (now Grand Duke) of Luxembourg, while both were studying politics at Geneva University.
Kawashima Kiko got engaged to Crown Prince Akashino of Japan, second-in-line to the Japanese throne, while both were undergraduates at Gakushuin university in the 1980s. She studied psychology, while he did law.
Louise Leakey, of the well-known Leakey family of anthropologists, was doing a PhD in paleontology at University College London when she met Prince Emmanuel de Mérode, a fellow doctoral student, Belgian prince and her future husband.
Jessica Sainsbury, of the well-known Sainsbury family, was studying Archaeology and Anthropology at Cambridge when she met Peter Frankopan, a Croatian prince and fellow student, who became her husband.
Birgitte Eva van Deurs Henriksen was attending finishing school in Cambridge when she met her future husband, Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester who was studying architecture at Cambridge University.
• Rule 4: Get On Your Party Shoes – Princes Like To Party
• Statistics: 25% of the romances in Badoo's study, and 35% of those involving European princes, began at a party, dinner party, ball or similar social engagement.
• Tactic: Don't be a wallflower. Princes like to party.
• Analysis: Parties are the new frogs. The more you attend, the better your odds of meeting a prince. Of course, all parties are not equal. The best are those thrown by mutual friends, since 17% of princes and 29% of European ones met the women they loved through mutual friends.
• Examples:
· Letizia Ortiz, a newsreader on Spanish TV, met Prince Felipe of Spain, how her husband, at a dinner party given by a leading Spanish TV journalist in 2002.
· Marie-Chantal Miller, the American socialite, met Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece, her future husband, at a wedding anniversary party of mutual friends in New Orleans in the 1990s. "It really was love at first sight", said Pavlos, son of the former King Constantine.
· Princess Lalla Salma, now first lady of Morocco, was still known as Salma Bennani, the daughter of a school-teacher when she first met her future husband, Prince Mohammed at a private party in 1999.
• Rule 5: Think Sporty – Best Of All, Play Tennis
Statistics: 7% of the romances in Badoo's study began via sport, while 13% of those with European princes did so.
Analysis: Either playing or watching sport is a good way to meet princes, especially European ones. But some sports – like polo, swimming or, best of all, tennis – offer better prospects than others, such as, say, beach volleyball or darts.
• Michiko Shōda, the first commoner, at least of modern times, to enter the Japanese Imperial family, did so after meeting Crown Prince Akihito playing tennis in 1957.
• Mathilde d'Udekem d'Acoz, a young aristocrat and speech therapist, first met her future husband, Belgian Prince Philippe, Duke of Brabant, on a tennis court in 1996.
• Prince Charles first met Camilla Parker-Bowles (then, Camilla Shand), now his second wife, at a polo match in Windsor in 1970.
• Rule 6: Get A Job – Ideally, In Media or Showbusiness
Statistics: 18% of the women in Badoo's study first met their prince through work. The equivalent figure for those who met European princes was nearly a quarter (23%).
Analysis: The media (journalism, TV, PR) or showbusiness (especially acting) seem the best professions for meeting princes.
Tactics: Plan a career in PR, journalism, TV or showbusiness, preferably acting. Doing the PR for charity fundraising events is a good niche-within-a-niche.
· Sophie Rhys-Jones was a young Englishwoman working in PR when she first formally met Prince Edward, her future husband, in 1993. They were collaborating on a tennis fundraising event when Sophie reportedly approached the Prince and said, "I'd love to have a hit". She is one of several women to have met a prince via working in PR.
· Princess Rym Ali of Jordan was plain Rym Brahimi, an Egyptian-born journalist, when she first met Prince Ali bin Al Hussein, her future husband, in 2004. They met after she had been expelled from Iraq to Jordan as a result of her work as a reporter and Prince Ali requested to see her to discuss the situation in Iraq. She is one of several journalists to have romanced a prince.
Rule 7: Fame Helps – Boost Your Odds By Becoming Famous
• Statistics: Badoo does not offer any statistics on the seductive power of fame – only a large number of examples of princes falling for women who were already famous before they met.
• Analysis: "Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac", claimed Henry Kissinger, the American politician, but many princes seem to find fame the next best thing. Fame increases the odds both that women will come to the attention of princes and that they will come into contact with them.
• Tactics: If you want to meet a prince, aim to become famous first.
• Examples:
• Grace Kelly, the Hollywood star who became Princess Grace of Monaco after marrying Prince Rainer III, is probably the best-known example of a show-girl catching the eye of a prince, but she is far from the only one.
• Isbella Orisini, the Italian actress and goddaughter of Silvio Berlosconi, married Prince Edouard de Ligne, while Koo Stark, the American actress, had a long-term romance with Prince Andrew, the second son of Queen Elizabeth, before he went on to marry Sarah Ferguson.
• Letizia Ortiz was a newsreader on national TV in Spain when she met Prince Felipe, her future husband, at a dinner party hosted by another TV journalist. Some say that Felipe first fell for her through watching her on TV.

Just Barley - HistoryBarley has been served as a food staple thoughout history and amazingly is one of the only resources on Earth that can provide the human body with the nutrients it needs from birth through old age. Research done by Agronomists shows the use of barley dates back as early as 8000 B.C. and has been used by the ancient Greeks, Romans, Chinese, and Egyptians. Roman gladiators consumed barley as a source of energy and strength while the enslaved Egyptians consumed barely bread as their sole sustenance. Barley was also used as a food staple in late 16-century Europe and was frequently mentioned in the bible as being used by the Hebrews and Egyptians.In modern times, it was discovered by the Chinese that animals being raised for their organs and medicinal properties produced superior results when they were fed barley leaves versus when they are fed dry feed. In the 1980's, Dr. Yasup Hotta, a research professor at the University of California San Diego discovered a special fraction in green barley juice which produces an incredible stimulation in restoring cellular DNA, Dr. Hotta discovered that these phytochemicals found in green barley contribute significantly to the reparation of DNA. In his research, Dr. Hotta stresses that the substance stimulating the DNA repair has been found only in significant amounts in green barley leaves. Green barley juice has since been consumed for its many benefits to human health.Another Japanese Pharmacologist, Dr. Hagiwara, conducted a series of case studies that indicated that green barley juice increased strength and motor activities in mice, had anti-ulcer activity, contained anti-inflammatory proteins, and lowers cholesterol. In the 1990's the Diabetes Resource Center found that a dried juice from organic green barley leaves was a beneficial food for those with type II diabetes. Pute Planet's Just Barley is grown from select organic seeds at over 5,000 feet elevation in the mineral rich soil of an ancient volcanic lake bed.
