susanv1 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 90 designs submitted by 30 freelance designers.
This is a site just for day spa owners. The flagship product is a "done-for-you" newsletter. I write the content and members fill in their offers, then either email or have it printed.
It is geared to the stand alone, independent day spa owner seeking cost-effective, proven strategies for building a loyalty fence around their customers. It will also show them how to get quality new customers.
The site will be informal and friendly.
Small to mid-sized day spa owners looking for cost-effective marketing strategies to increase loyalty among their customers, distinguish their business in the marketplace and increase overall business.
The logo should look professional but also project some excitement. (Day spa owners don't generally like marketing.)
1. I don't really want anything cartoon-ish.
2. The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. I want something that stands out.
3. It can be two colors but doesn't have to be.
4. I'd like to see a color and greyscale version.
The files I will require are:
Print file format - (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg

Feed the soil for best results
Not a glamorous subject, but one close to the hearts of any true gardener is fertilizer. When should we "feed the soil"? When should we give a boost to those struggling vegetables in the garden?
Have you ever wondered why those blooming flowers and luscious green plants at your local garden center look so great? Most all of the nurseries are slowly releasing fertilizers into the watering system for the plants. With each and every watering, those lucky plants are getting their multi-vitamins for the day. As we drive down a well-traveled esplanade (like across from the Galleria in Houston) we see such magnificent displays of flowers. They are not only fertilized heavily but they are jerked out and replaced with a totally new installation of plants and flowers each month or so. All this is to say don't think it's your gardening ability that's lacking when your yard doesn't have all the vim and vigor that you see in other places. You just need to fertilize.
Most gardeners who have magnificent showings of flowers and plants in their yard grow with the best soil to begin with. Then they happily add mulch and fertilizer. We can divide the world of fertilizers into two broad categories: inorganic and organic. Choose to use a combination of the two or be exclusive.
Fertilizer can be applied initially when tilling the soil. An even application is best, spreading the fertilizer and then raking it in to disperse the nutrients. Vegetables and plants often need a boost during growth. Here you can scatter powdered or granulated fertilizer along either side on the row, keeping it off the leaves. Take a minute to hoe in the fertilizer for best absorption. Unless you expect rain in an hour or so, water the fertilizer into the soil so those plants can begin to "feel the love."
Non-organic options for fertilization and soil manipulation are numerous. The Gardeners Handbook thoroughly discusses the options. Ammonium sulphate (sulphate of ammonia) supplies nitrogen and makes the soil more acid. Nitro-chalk supplies nitrogen without making the soil more acid. Potassium sulphate (sulphate of potash) supplies potassium. Lime is added to soil to raise the pH and lower the acidity (sweeten the soil). Balanced fertilizers are those that contain all the main nutrients of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Compound fertilizers are like balanced fertilizers but don't always contain the three major nutrients. Finally, there are the slow-release fertilizers that contain the major nutrients in a form that is released slowly over a period of months.
Natural options for enriching soil are close to the hearts of many gardeners. Who hasn't seen the major improvement in plants with the addition of blood, fish or bone meal? Dried animal manures and liquid animal manures are organic options. Fish meal contains nitrogen and phosphorus. Seaweed meal contains all the major nutrients, plus many minor ones and trace elements. Fish emulsion smells bad for a day or so but just watch those plants put on a happy glow and lots of blooms.

March Madness "Play-In" Game Is Just Wrong
This one "play-in" game on Tuesday for the NCAA Basketball tournament is just wrong on so many levels, it is hard to know where to begin.
Wasn't 64 teams enough? Why did they add an extra game? And why did they choose the champions of two crap conferences to play this game instead of two highly expendable "at large" teams who didn't win jack **** to make it to the Big Dance?
As it is now, the "winner" of the play-in game has the honor of getting ass-raped later in the week by a #1 seed full of All-Americans. What sort of reward is that? No #16 seed has ever beaten a #1 seed so that should tell you there is little point in trying, much less having an elimination game to see who will get their teeth kicked in later. It's like watching a couple of cripples stage a death match with the survivor taking on Kimbo Slice two nights later. And ESPN is there to show the bloodletting in prime time to a national audience (or at least those unfortunates not hooked on "LOST").
The game just makes no sense all the way around and only is one more slap in the face at small schools while .500 teams from the ACC or the Big East get treated with more respect.
So, let's scrap the game altogether. Or, better yet, let's replace it with something better: Every amateur bracketologist does their "last four in, last four out" chart. So, how about we take a designated seed in each region and make the "L4I,L4O" play each other for the right to that seed? Instead of some boring match between two podunk schools nobody cares about, give ESPN and their myriad spin-offs a chance to show, say, Minnesota vs. Virginia Tech as a play-in game for the 11th seed? And three other similar contests on the same night. The teams playing in this pre-lim would all be at-large teams on the bubble so there should be little room for b****ing. Their title dreams, shoddy as they are, would still be alive and the winners would square off against a 4, 5 or 6 seed they might have a realistic chance of beating if they win.
Maybe then, more people will Tivo "LOST" and watch it after a night of play-in games. But, then, since ESPN and ABC are both owned by Disney, maybe that explains why you don't get a better play-in game.

"Having children makes you no more a parent than having a piano makes you a pianist." Michael Levine
As a parent you have made or will make great preparations for the arrival of your child. You get the room ready, with a crib, diapers, clothes, blankets, wipes, pacifiers, and all the things a baby could need or want.
The big day arrives. You take your precious child home and that's when it first hits you. There is NO instruction manual ... None ... NADA. Actually, I think I first realized this little detail while still in the hospital with my first born. I had absolutely no clue what to do with a baby. Sure, I had taken a few prenatal classes, but I had never been around many babies or small children.
In nature, animals recognize their babies by smell or sound. Seal mothers go hunting, and, when they return mother and baby easily find one another. I'm sorry, but when my babies were first born, if you had put a bunch of babies in a room, I don't think I could have picked out my own baby, especially if others were similar in size and hair color.
So. No manual, no homing instinct. What's a parent to do? Wing it. That is what all parents do. Why? Because every child is different. Every day is different. The possibilities are endless. Yes, you may follow some of the same direction that your parents took regarding parenting, but, obviously, you will have no recollections about how your parents handled situations when you were very young.
Whether you are near the beginning of your parenting journey, the middle or in the final stretch, all parents need to keep in mind that parenting is definitely one of the most difficult jobs on earth, but it can also be the most rewarding.
Even though there is no instruction booklet, you, as a parent, do have inner resources to pull from. These are your parenting tools. You will hone these tools on a daily basis, and your parenting skills will improve and develop as you grow with your child. A key point to remember is that each child is uniquely different, and the parenting technique you develop with one child may not work with another.
What inner resources will help you to develop good parenting skills?
Love. This is the basis of your parent-child relationship. Without love, no one will have much of a chance to succeed as a good parent.
Patience. While some parents have an abundance of this virtue, many of us have to work hard on this. We all falter at times, but this is a key ingredient to good parenting.
Kindness. Essential to raising a kind child is your own kindness. Even discipline should be enacted with kindness.
Honesty. Being truthful to your children will help them to be honest themselves. Teach truthfulness by your own example.
Discipline. One of the hardest parts of parenting is learning to properly and kindly discipline your child. We must also discipline ourselves, learning to use restraint in our own lives, as well as when dealing with our children.
Acceptance. Key to building self-esteem in a child is acceptance. Positive words and actions go a long way in displaying our acceptance of our children.
Humor. Another essential ingredient to good parenting is humor, the use of which helps foster happiness. Learn to laugh and laugh often.

Maddie is a 5 month old Beagle/Boston Terrier mix who loves going for walks and giving "high fives". She's teething, so she loves to chew bones, toys, and anything else she can get her teeth on! She just graduated from puppy training and she had so much fun playing with the other puppies in her class!
The Cutest Puppy
I'm Febe and I am the BOSS! I have a little sister named Stinker who is a Chinese Crested and I can't live without her! We are silly best friends and love to terrorize our cat Carl! I am very loyal to my parents and love to wake them up with lots of wet kisses. I am absolutely adorable, just ask my Dad! I am especially tiny for a boston Terrier which makes me more adorable! I'd love to give you a big kiss and cuddle on your lap!
I LOVE boating! I have spent my entire life on board loving the wind in my face, checking out the view, and making sure we are on ...
Delilah Boston Terrier. She loves to cuddle with everyone, especially in the bed under the covers. She also love to run, and play in the grass, but she's just as happy taking a nice long puppy nap! She is a social butterfly, and is always the life of the party. She's a little clown and will always make you smile. Delilah is one happy pup who just loves life!
Helo is a rambunctious little puppy who loves to run and play with his big sister, Lilly. He thinks he is 20 times his size and will run or jump to prove it! The good thing about how active this little guy is that after an hour of running and jumping, he's ready for his 2 hour nap.

Website Design Pricing
The list of features include engineering, space battles, seamless space-to-planet transitions, mining and trading, laser guns, and an open universe with both single-player and multiplayer variants.[2] 0x10c features a working emulated 16-bit processor inside the game called the DCPU-16 that can be accessed through any of the monitors located in the game. The DCPU-16 can also load external programs and data using the required standards which allows the community to make their own DCPU-16 emulators.[5] In December 2011, Markus "Notch" Persson announced[6] that he was going to be stepping down as the lead developer of Minecraft, and that he would be working on another project. Mojang CEO Carl Manneh said in an interview with Edge Online that Mojang was committed to supporting a new project that Persson was developing along with another game created by other developers in their company.[7] After winning a special award from BAFTA in March 2012, Persson revealed that there were three different projects he was developing, but he had yet to come to a decision in terms of which one he was committed to working on.[8] A few days later in an interview with PC Gamer magazine, Persson announced that he was working on a space-themed game that was inspired by the television show Firefly and the video game Elite.[9] The first details of this game were released in an April Fool's parody website called "Mars Effect", a play on Mass Effect and alluding to the lawsuit by Bethesda Softworks over trademark infringement.[10] A few days later Persson announced that he had chosen a real name for the game and that he had made some progress on its development.
Although it is not immediately obvious how to pronounce the game's name and a large variety of suggestions were proposed, Persson has said that he pronounces it as "ten to the see," but that "people can pronounce it however they want".[11] On October 13, 2012, the first video gameplay of 0x10c was released by Persson on the game's website.[12] On October 26, 2012, the first multiplayer test was uploaded to the website from Twitch.TV.[13] In an April 2013 interview with Polygon, Persson stated that 0x10c development was hit by creative road block and would be put on hold. Persson also said that the game is "ways off" and that he would be expanding the team, bringing on one other developer to "make sure the game gets made."[14] On August 13, 2013, Persson confirmed in a live stream that 0x10c was indefinitely shelved, adding that the game could potentially be made in the future, if another Mojang employee were interested in continuing its development.[1] "The style is pixel art meets modern 3D. It's influenced by bright, vivid sci-fi, and real-world functional spaceship design to go with 0x10c's realistic tone," says Jonatan Pöljö, artist of the game's team.[15] On September 15, 2014, Daniel Rosenfeld (C418), who also composed the music for Mojang's previous game, Minecraft, released the soundtrack for 0x10c on his Bandcamp page.[16] 0x10c was expected to be the first Mojang game with a monthly fee for online play in multiplayer mode (but no recurring fee for single player mode). Persson said that this was because of the cost to "emulate all computers and physics even when players aren't logged in." It is unknown if there was to be a private multiplayer mode.[2] It was revealed that the pricing would be similar to Minecraft, with alpha costing less than beta, and beta costing less than the full release.[17]
The website design industry has become more prominent during the last decade since every business type has acknowledged the importance of building and maintaining a business website. Due to a tremendous increase in the online traffic lately, businesses are focused more towards their online appearance rather than an outdoor advertisement of their products and services. This is the reason, web industry demands highly trained professionals responsible for creating and operating websites for a flawless customer engagement and maximal revenue generation. However, these dexterous professionals are not at all easy to find as not all of them have adequate experience and unbeaten qualities which are essential for being the very best of a web design company. Let's check out the attributes of successful designers.
The lobby of Hotel Bristol, Warsaw A historical example: Balliol College Dining Hall, Oxford Interior design is the art and science of enhancing the interiors, sometimes including the exterior, of a space or building, to achieve a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing environment for the end user. An interior designer is someone who plans, researches, coordinates, and manages such projects. Interior design is a multifaceted profession that includes conceptual development, space planning, site inspections, programming, research, communicating with the stakeholders of a project, construction management, and execution of the design. Typical interior of one of the houses in the Folk Architecture Reservation in Vlkolínec (Slovakia) In the past, interiors were put together instinctively as a part of the process of building.[1] The profession of interior design has been a consequence of the development of society and the complex architecture that has resulted from the development of industrial processes. The pursuit of effective use of space, user well-being and functional design has contributed to the development of the contemporary interior design profession.[2] The profession of interior design is separate and distinct from the role of Interior Decorator, a term commonly used in the US. The term is less common in the UK where the profession of interior design is still unregulated and therefore, strictly speaking, not yet officially a profession. In ancient India, architects used to work as interior designers. This can be seen from the references of Vishwakarma the architect - one of the gods in Indian mythology. Additionally, the sculptures depicting ancient texts and events are seen in palaces built in 17th century India. In ancient Egypt, "soul houses" or models of houses were placed in tombs as receptacles for food offerings. From these, it is possible to discern details about the interior design of different residences throughout the different Egyptian dynasties, such as changes in ventilation, porticoes, columns, loggias, windows, and doors.[3] Throughout the 17th and 18th century and into the early 19th century, interior decoration was the concern of the homemaker, or an employed upholsterer or craftsman who would advise on the artistic style for an interior space. Architects would also employ craftsmen or artisans to complete interior design for their buildings.

Small triangles, especially when the widest area is at the top, are found in pre-Islamic representations of female figures. That the small triangles found in the wall paintings in 'Asir are called banat may be a cultural remnant of a long-forgotten past."[40] "Courtyards and upper pillared porticoes are principal features of the best Nadjdi architecture, in addition to the fine incised plaster wood (jiss) and painted window shutters, which decorate the reception rooms. Good examples of plasterwork can often be seen in the gaping ruins of torn-down buildings- the effect is light, delicate and airy. It is usually around the majlis, around the coffee hearth and along the walls above where guests sat on rugs, against cushions. Doughty wondered if this "parquetting of jis", this "gypsum fretwork... all adorning and unenclosed" originated from India. However, the Najd fretwork seems very different from that seen in the Eastern Province and Oman, which are linked to Indian traditions, and rather resembles the motifs and patterns found in ancient Mesopotamia.

There are various reasons why you may want your own website...
If you are thinking of starting an online business one of the first things you will need to do is get yourself a website in place.
If you have an existing business you may want to have your own piece of the internet for your customers to visit 'out of hours'.
Maybe you just want your own personal website for a different purpose.
Whatever the reasons for wanting a website, it can be a daunting prospect if you have never tackled anything like this before
You may think you need to hire a company of programmers or web designers to get your website up and running. You could do this, but the cost of doing so can be a little more than you are prepared to spend.
Besides if you go down this route and you do hire one of these companies then what happens when you want to change something on your web page? Even if its just one sentence, changing the colour scheme or changing a picture, it could take time and cost you money.
Wouldn't it be easier, not to have to worry about these issues and simply change things yourself?
You may be thinking that you don't know how to write code...
Or you don't have the necessary IT skills to do that sort of thing...
Or it's just too much of a complicated thing for you to tackle...
You may even be thinking that you wouldn't know where to start...
Well you are not alone, a lot of people have these reservations when faced with the same prospect.
The good news is nowadays building your own website is not that difficult, in fact you could have your own website up and running from scratch in just one single afternoon.
You don't need to know coding...
You don't need any IT skills...
and it really isn't as difficult as you may think.
As for where to start...
That's what I'm about to tell you!
You may be thinking the simple way is to head off to wix or Weebly and put together a free drag and drop website and while this is true if you just want your website as a bit of fun or for non business purposes, If you want to be taken seriously as a business then you will need your own website with your own web address.
All we need to do is point your domain name provider to the place on the internet where your website is being hosted.
This is called 'Setting your domain name servers'
Despite what you think this process is really very easy and just involves supplying your domain name provider with the location of your websites hosting address.
It is just a simple act of copying the information sent to you in your important email and pasting it to the relevant section on your domain name providers website.
If you did happen to purchase your domain name AND your Hosting from the same company then you don't even need to do this.
Factors to follow while choosing a framework:
- Easy to use and understand.
- Seamless integration with database.
- Long-term support
- Browser compatibility
- Clean and precise code.
Scale-up the screen resolution and content adjustment of your websites with the help of the best available responsive framework designs. The frameworks which are listed above are perfectly used to design beautiful websites. Choose an ideal web design and development company for your professional websites.

- Creativity
Creativity is the power of thinking out of the box and creating what amaze others. A successful designer always tries to create unconventional things while following the rule book. Such designers wield infinitive ideas from their past experiences and have a propensity for thinking to build innovative designs. Possessing a variety of ideas is important as different industries have different needs and audience types. The designer who has the inventiveness of concepts and ideas becomes a successful website or graphic designer.
"Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous". Bill Moyers
- Technical Skills
Knowledge of different software and technical skills is a crucial attribute of a designer. A successful designer has a deep knowledge of designing tools like Photoshop, Coral Draw, etc. Apart from the knowledge, the tempo of using such tools is also important, which is an upshot of regular practice. A passionate designer invests a huge amount of time on designing tools to have a deep functional knowledge of their usage. If you are a designer then spend as much time as you could on design software to understand each and every function and their manipulation.
- Visualisation
It is crucial for a designer to visualise the outcomes before he even commences the designing work, or else, he'll waste his entire time in attaining a result different from the expected. A great designer creates graphic initially in his mind and then engraves it on his computer. Visualising the output in prior requires a lot of experience and a line of thought with a composed mind.
- Business Sense
A designer who has worked for numerous industries and understands the audience associated can do miracles in his designs as he perceives disparate businesses requirements and their preferences. If you have not designed for any particular industry before, then taking advice from the one who has is no harm and will save you from dawdling. You can also seek help from numerous online forums where professionals discuss and share their experiences and resolutions to technical glitches.
- Hard Shell
Every designer faces critics in different styles. Sometimes clients don't agree with the designs and sometimes the bosses or colleagues. A good designer listens to everyone and even proactively asks for feedbacks to understand different perspectives towards his design and do the amendments accordingly to deliver impeccable work. If the designer does not agree with suggestions, he should explain his reasons behind the design to convince the back-seat drivers. But a great designer is someone who remains calm and understands everyone's point without getting displeased even if he has to make infinite changes to the design. That is the reason one of the attributes of a successful designer is that he should have a hard shell.
- Logical Thinking
Wine is good with everything except water. Likewise, using the fonts, colours, themes, background and other designing elements into a design depends on the adjacent components and logical thinking of the designer pertaining to the graphic he is creating for a particular industry type. The designer who thinks logically and keeps in mind the various factors like industry type, audience type, client's requirements and other pre-told aspects, is considered as a great designer.
- Communication
Communication is another important attribute of a successful designer. One who keeps in touch with his clients to note down their feedbacks, work accordingly and respond quickly with the revised design, comes under a 'good designer' category. Communication is important as it also helps in rapport building as the clients perceive the seriousness of the designer towards his work. This helps in attaining more work and respect from clients.
- Problem Solving
A good designer has a problem-solving instinct. Designers have acquaintance with multiple problems during their work. Leaving the problem unsolved and move forward is never a good designer's convention. Alongside, the time taken by a designer to fix any designing problem is directly proportional to his experience. Designers with ample of experience know how to deal with a particular complication they have come across a few times earlier and take less time to resolve it. On the contrary, designers with less experience and practical knowledge take more time to solve any designing snag.
- Researching
A successful designer always gets indulged in excessive research during the work and otherwise. Knowing the market trend, software updates, tools utilisation, etc. include a lot of research and development. A designer who keeps researching for updates in the industry is known to be a successful designer. If you are about to commence a design for an industry who have no idea about, spend a good amount of time on research before you soak your brush and start painting the canvas.
- Confidence
Last but not the least, confidence is a very important attribute of a successful designer. After creating a design, a designer might face numerous objections and challenges from onlookers. A successful designer knows the reason behind every step he concluded to create a design but others might just have speculations about it. A successful designer will always present a logical explanation behind the design he created and can turn his critics into his admirers with his utter confidence. You know why you have done that, so say out loud confidently!

Website designing and development give a proper shape to the website and in order to sustain and enhance the shape, you must undergo web maintenance occasionally. It is not sufficient to get a premium website designed, program it and host it and leave! There must be continued maintenance to keep the site upgraded and free form glitches, performing at top level. However, one must not be mistaken that website maintenance means redesigning of your website. It is something more relevant to ongoing support to change the images, content or update the information.
Additionally, the activities that fall under site maintenance also include correction of broken links, page titles, adding new web pages, wrongly spelled texts, checking whether pages, add-ons, and programs are working perfectly. Without having Website maintenance services, the websites tend to malfunction regularly and thus, affecting its credibility and ranking. For example, transaction-oriented websites such as online shopping, e-commerce stores, ticket booking sites must perform accurately all the time, and this is impossible without any maintenance support.
Now if we take example of human body in respect to website. Just like human body requires you to take it to doctor for regular checkups and keep yourself away from diseases. In the same manner, websites too are used on daily basis and technology keeps changings. This means that they also need to be taken care of and provided with maintenance on day to day basis. However, most of the companies fail to recognize this fact and believe that once they have got the website developed, there is no need to take a second look over it. Just because your website is running fine and getting traffic does not indicates that it will be fine in future as well. And as the saying goes, prevention is better than cure!
Most of the big companies own an in-house web maintenance teams. However, for small to medium businesses, it is not a possible option to afford a team. It might also divert their attention from the core of their business. For these businessmen, it is a good idea to outsource the website maintenance tasks to those services that specialize in such services.
There are plenty of website maintenance services that can do a lot in your interest and provide satisfactory web performance. However, you must evaluate that these companies as little negligence and incompetent maintenance can lead to multiple problems. A regular chain of communication must be opened while one signs up with website maintenance services. It is not merely enough that the team should monitor and maintain and that's it! The website owner too, must check if the work is being done properly or not.
The various benefits through website maintenance
•A good maintenance service provides monitored uptime. This helps to eliminate the down problems of the website.
•The convenience of getting fresh updates is available in unlimited form and updates can include graphics, maps, new page additions, forums etc.
•They provide with monthly statistics reports that help you know the performance of the website which is crucial to the growth of the business. This, in turn, devises the business plans and strategies.
•Domain renewal process is also done automatically by the maintenance services. Most of the companies do not ask for surplus expenses at the time of renewal. One needs not to worry about losing the web domain.
•Excellent hosting options are also looked after. A web application development company will gain a thousand benefits with good web maintenance services.
•Your uptime of website and dead page redirection is crucial for the customers and visitors and all these aspects will be under your control with the help of these service providers.
•This is enough to understand the worth and need of maintenance for your website. Don't delay it.
Hopefully you must have understand now what mistakes you need to avoid and to make a best website design is not a big deal now!
In the modern world we live in, pretty much all business is now conducted digitally, and the key succession of most businesses is online brand awareness. Whether you intend to trade goods, or you just want to promote the services your business provides, either way, you need a website that fully functional, interactive, responsive on all devices (of course, this isn't mandatory but is definitely recommended), and also customer friendly to consolidate all clientele.
There are so many different types of websites to choose from these days, so you might want to do your research before making any sudden decisions, but it's worth doing as the website not only needs to suit your business requirements but also needs to meet the needs of your visitors/customers.
Open Source technology comes in a range of different solutions but is usually one of the most utilized platforms when it comes to web design. You can have your pick of Joomla, Drupal, Magento, Open Cart, Presta Shop, Sugar CRM and so much more open source technologies, each one with its particular benefits.
Drupal is one of the most popular open source web design platforms that have a built-in Content Management System (CMS). It's chosen by many businesses thanks to its powerful tools and functional platform. It's a favorable choice out of the other open source technologies because of its user efficiency, meaning you don't have to be equipped with technical skills in order to actually design the solution how you want. Other features include high website performance due to its built-in caching and scalability (it can be used on multiple servers). It also features easy integration with 3rd party applications, it's search engine friendly, it has supreme security functionality, it provides commercial support through training and education, and it allows management of content by the end user (i.e. you).
Primarily used as a back- end system, Drupal supports a range of website types from personal blogs to government informational sites, and it is built on a PHP language which provides the main database through MySQL. Â
As mentioned previously you don't have to be of a technical background to be able to use Drupal effectively, although if you haven't got the time to go through the development process, it might be worth enlisting the help of an expert who has experience in Drupal web design solutions. These experts will be able to support you from the start to the end of the project leaving you stress and hassle free.
Okay, so you've established your online presence, and your website is up and running, so what happens next?
Another thing to consider once your website is fully functioning is online marketing techniques, commonly known as Digital Marketing. Digital Marketing uses different techniques to build brand awareness through Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), Pay Per Click (PPC), Social Media Marketing (SMM), Content marketing and also Email and Newsletter marketing. Using these methods you can shout about your business and build a bigger customer outreach so that people know that your organization exists.
With regular website maintenance, and online marketing you can truly allow all that design and development work to truly flourish.
The hover effects and especially CSS image hover effects are a fashionable yet fairly easy way of adding a touch of creativity to your website, all the while enabling user friendliness and interactivity. Before technology reached this stage, a cursor was deemed enough to let the user know that a picture could be clicked upon to reveal further facts and figures. But everything has its age, and the age of cursors is over. To attract users, and make the website trendier we now have Image Hover Effects. These transitions hover over an image with some sort of icon on them to let the users know that more information is at hand when you click. The hover effects CSS can, in turn, reveal a magnified version of the image, or perhaps some text that has relevance to what you're looking for on the site.
Nowadays, We can see a lot of website on the internet have used clean typography and nice effects. This is really a beautiful trend in web designing. It makes the design cleaner and easy to readable. It allows the site visitor to stay more time on the website. To create such hover effects, There are many different ways and techniques can be used to create nice looking effects. You can use CSS, Javascript or Jquery to developed modern effects. But, the best and easy way to create is usually CSS, and especially the additions of CSS3 make them handy. These effects can be applied on Images, buttons, logos and as well as on links.
However, there are certain things that a client needs to work on, for getting clarity of the exact requirements of web designing. This involves creation of a sitemap by the client. A sitemap is like a rough estimate of the pages and links that are to be included in the website. This can be better understood with the reference of a company's website, which includes different pages like- company's profile, products and services offered, contact us page etc. The client can create a brief of company's background including the pictures of company, its products etc. In order to have a better understanding of your preferences and for the website designer to know your taste, creating a list of sites that you like is of utmost importance.
• Professionalism- Another important factor to be considered while choosing a website designer is his professional attitude. He should be able to stand to his commitments and must deliver the project timely. Delay in work is not a good sign!
• Affordability- The cost involved in the process of website designing should be in accordance with the standard and fair prices set for this task. It's a long term investment, so spend wisely!
We hope the above information helps you in future projects.
If you're thinking about having a website built, it's important for you to have a clear idea of the process before you begin. Your website could be a profitable business venture for you, but only if you've really done your research ahead of time. Many people begin investing in their new websites before they've really thought out each step and end up wasting money on sites that never see fruition. However, with some simple planning and research, you can set yourself on the right track toward developing a successful website. Here are seven tips for web design and promotion to get you started.
1. Survey the Market and Research Your Competitors
Before you get ahead of yourself and begin hiring a web designer, take some time to survey the market and research your competitors. Look at what other types of websites are out there and see if anyone is doing something similar to your plan. Consider how many people are running similar websites, as well as how professional their websites look. This will help you to determine whether or not it's worth setting up your own site, before you've invested too much in it.
To help ensure the success of your website, you should begin finding a niche market that you can target. You may be tempted to attract any and all customers that you can but you'll actually have greater success targeting a very specific demographic. Think extensively about who your potential audience members are and what they would be most interested in. Then, you can begin to develop your website around these ideas.
2. Brainstorm Design Ideas and Figure Out What You Like
Once you've thought a little more about your site's purpose, you should now think about your ideas for the design. You'll need to consider the best way to present your message or to feature your products to audience members. Keep in mind that people tend to skim websites looking for something interesting or eye-catching, so make sure that the most important elements of your site are featured prominently.
7. Allow Time and Money for Search Engine Optimisation
Google AdWords is a great way to help you get started but it's also important to use search engine optimisation, or SEO, to build organic traffic to your site. While AdWords will automatically place you at the top of search engine rankings with an advert you will have to continue doing that for ever. SEO can help you get to the first page of rankings naturally and eventually you will receive lots of traffic for free. This is important to increasing your traffic and building your site's legitimacy and authority on your subject.
Be sure to budget the time and money for SEO. It's not cheap and it can take 6-12 months to get your page to the first page of rankings for a number of keywords but it will generate a great amount of free traffic when you get there. It may cost about £300-£600 per month but SEO is truly the best way to start bringing in consistent traffic. Over time, your SEO efforts can help you build a reliable customer base and increase your sales. You're website will now be a true competitor in your niche market and well on it's way to success.
In this digital world of the internet, mobiles, laptops, computers and tablets, online presence has become very important. If you want to grow your business, you need to promote it. Using social media platforms to get the attention is just one step towards your goal.
To be honest, we cannot deny the fact that we don't trust an organization if it doesn't have a website of its own. What is the first thing that we do when we want to know more about a specific company? We browse about it on the internet. Don't we?
A website is the mirror image of your company's status and reputation, it is a place where everything is in one place, sorted and organized.
How to create a website?
Follow these steps to create your own website.
Domain name
· The first step is creating your unique domain name.
· A domain name appears like "xyz.com" and you need to visit a registrar to pay for the name you chose.
· They are easy for people to register in their brains.
· Others like Yahoo, Firefox and Bing are also some great options.
· These search engines are absolutely free and therefore the task of promoting your website becomes very easy.
· Other ways to get your site noticed are conventional methods like word of mouth, newspapers, cold calling etc.
Doughty wondered if this "parquetting of jis", this "gypsum fretwork... all adorning and unenclosed" originated from India. However, the Najd fretwork seems very different from that seen in the Eastern Province and Oman, which are linked to Indian traditions, and rather resembles the motifs and patterns found in ancient Mesopotamia. The rosette, the star, the triangle and the stepped pinnacle pattern of dadoes are all ancient patterns, and can be found all over the Middle East of antiquity. Al-Qassim Province seems to be the home of this art, and there it is normally worked in hard white plaster (though what you see is usually begrimed by the smoke of the coffee hearth). In Riyadh, examples can be seen in unadorned clay.

Osmond General Store
Performing Arts Series Presents The Osmonds Christmas Show
December 10, 2011
WARRENSBURG, MO (Dec. 9, 2011) – The Performing Arts Series at the University of Central Missouri celebrates the holiday season with the Osmonds Christmas Show at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 17 in Hendricks Hall.
The legendary Osmond Brothers – Wayne, Merrill and Jay – will share their classic vocal harmonies that have been honed over decades of performing with the Osmond family in a concert of Christmas favorites. The Osmond Brothers' career began in "barbershop" as young boys, and it is that familiar harmony that has become the signature on their music.
They skillfully play several musical instruments among them, and they dance, write music, and create an electricity between stage and audience that can only be felt during an Osmond performance.
The Osmond family has collectively been awarded 47 gold and platinum records, and they have surpassed the best single year successes of both Elvis and the Beatles by being honored with nine gold records in 1971.
The Osmond Brothers have created a niche all their own in the field of entertainment. Their remarkable success with pop, rock and roll, country, and gospel music has enabled them to touch audiences both young and old, and every age in between. Sold-out engagements from Las Vegas to the United Kingdom have been synonymous with the name Osmond since their early years in the entertainment business.
Tickets for the Dec. 17 performance are available from the Performing Arts Series box office in Administration 100 on the UCM campus, by calling the box office at 660-543-8888, or online. The Osmonds Christmas Show is sponsored by 1450 KOKO radio, Warrensburg.

Nirvana is a term used to describe the profound peace of mind that is acquired with liberation. It is the state of being free from suffering.
The word literally means "blown out" (as in a candle) and refers, in the Buddhist context, to the imperturbable stillness of mind after the fires of desire, aversion, and delusion have been finally extinguished. (loosely quoting Wikipedia here...)
So...I'm curious if you all believe that Atheists as a general rule are able to reach this level of liberation? Do you think it's possible for Theists to do so? Do you believe that all/most Atheists reach Nirvana? How do you know when you've reached it? Once you've reached it how do you know you'll be able to stay there? Is it just in your mind or is there more to it? What could be a scientific explanation for the state of Nirvana?....Do you believe that Nirvana is attached to any kind of religious dogma since it's roots are found in Buddhism? Isn't Buddhism a religion? If not, then why not. If you believe Nirvana is rubbish, then tell me why.
Views: 3951
Exactly - including your last line.
Hmmm. I agree with you up to a point.
"when you can feel as much joy in peeling a potato as you can surfing," - yes, that's Nirvana I think. Or at least, it's being blissed out, which might not necessarily be the same thing.
"The lesson is that joy should be generated from within," - I agree.
"and not from external stimuli." - I disagree.
Joy is a natural, healthy and necessary part of life, and a religion which frowns on surfing has its knickers in a twist. If I was blissed out about peeling the potatoes, I would still go surfing, in order to get even more joy. I wouldn't just stick to peeling potatoes or watching paint dry. Once you reach Nirvana - are you supposed to dry up and become old? That has to be rubbish. No. You are supposed to throw yourself into life. If you want to, as you see fit.
If I was blissed out about peeling the potatoes, I would still go surfing, in order to get even more joy.
In that case you're still suffering from craving and attachment (to joyfulness).
But this is my point. Joy is good in itself - if we have a satisfactory definition of good. And "good" is the result we are looking for. Now, if I had some kind of unhealthy addiction to surfing, a compulsion which caused harm in other ways, that would be different, no matter how much good clean salty fun it might give me. That would be a harmful, selfish situation - the negative results of craving and attachment.
And yes - if I relied on surfing to make me happy, then that would be foolish too, and the pleasure I obtained would not be the same as true happiness.
And on the other hand - what's a life without pleasure? That is definitely not happy. That's worse than being dead - having all the trouble of life without the rewards. We need some element of pleasure in order to become blissed out and truly happy. It seems that sometimes, [Western] Buddhists ignore the fact that we are living biological beings. They definitely haven't thought it all through.
So Strega, you are promoting some form of self medication? Like electrodes, endorphins, blinders....
I am? I thought I was just pointing out the zen approach, which I did also mention was not my cup of tea. Do you have a thing about electrodes? Grin, I'm not promoting anything.
Unless of course you're buying, in which case I'm sure I have a few bottles of Dr Strega's Elixir, which has amongst its ingredients, Invisible Pink Unicorn poo.
The rather sad, at times, state of email content. I have no 'thing' about electrodes, but I did read once about such being attached to ones pleasure centers of the brain. If one was just not getting the 'happiness' one needs, just a little jolt could do the trick, about .5 to 1.0 mv.
I think I have already tried the Elixir, it tastes remarkably like pond scum, so needs two fingers of soy milk to help wash it down. And how did I ever get to taste 'pond scum' you ask? Protozoology field trips.....;p(
But again, attachment itself is part of the desire-aversion response. ie. it's desire. It carries a negative connotation; a harmful level or type of desire.
Aversion can be construed as a craving for mental placidity.
If you enjoy surfing perhaps you are exercising a craving for enjoyment and your time would be better spent in contemplating a lotus blossom or your naval.

Is Groupon' s stock as good a deal as the coupons it offers on its site?
That depends on how the company address investor concerns about slowing growth, the long-term potential of the deal-a-day business, and new revenue streams from the likes of Groupon Goods.
CEO Andrew Mason surprised Wall Street and beat expectations when the company reported its first quarter results — we'll see if he has another upside surprise.
Groupon shares are moving higher — and rebounded from all-time lows last week — as some shorts cover their position ahead of the earnings report. But the stock is still down some 60 percent since its November initial public offering.
Wall Street expects the company to report earnings of 3 cents per share on $573 million in revenue, up slightly from the prior quarter. But perhaps even more important is the company's outlook for the rest of the year — analysts are looking for 47 percent revenue growth for the full year.
But with Groupon it's not just about the top and bottom line. As a sign of long-term health of the deal-a-day business, investors will also be looking for metrics and commentary about new and returning customers and merchants. As the company looks to diversify, we'll be looking for commentary about mobile users and how fast mobile revenue is growing. And then there's Groupon Goods — deals on products, rather than services, like most of the company's coupons. It's off to a strong start, but has raised accounting questions.
Questions about Groupon's accounting and transparency contributed to the stock's fall since its IPO.
Other concerns include growing competition from the likes of Living Social, which is backed by Amazon and few barriers to entry. (Related: LivingSocial CEO - Why We're No Groupon.)
And now The Wall Street Journal says the company faces a new challenge, reporting that employees, facing growing pressure and tighter compensation, want to jump ship.

Lindsay Lohan & Ashley Greene: amfAR New York Gala 2013
Lindsay Lohan hits the black carpet at the 2013 amfAR New York Gala to kick off Fashion Week on Wednesday (February 6) at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.
The 26-year-old actress was joined by her pal Mohammed Al Turki at the event.
Ashley Greene was also in attendance looking white hot in a Giambattista Valli dress and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.
Lindsay spoke to E! News at the event and talked about what keeps her sane through all her legal trouble.
"Family," Lindsay said. "You can't get through anything without the family. Family is everything."
FYI: Lindsay is wearing a Theia dress, Prada shoes, a Jimmy Choo bag, and a ring given to her by Elizabeth Taylor.

AIDS 2014 Video Blog #2: Criminals and Mannequins, Both Fighting HIV Stigma
July 22, 2014
At Beyond Blame, a pre-conference devoted to the issue of HIV criminalization, Edwin Bernard of the HIV Justice Network in the United Kingdom explained that he sees real progress being made in the legal battles involving people with HIV in the U.S. The Brit may not be ready to change his citizenship, but he does have a certain awe for American activism on this issue -- and a hopefulness that the work being done in the States will have international implications for the better.
Meanwhile, the city of Melbourne is coming alive with messages of activism and artistic expression around HIV. Prevention campaigns dot every tram stop and subway, and art installations -- such as the work of Positively Fabulous -- are on the streets and pavilions throughout town. The messages of AIDS 2014 are by no means limited to the enormous conference center downtown.
The conference is now beginning full force, and that means more events and inspiring people to introduce you to in the days ahead. Watch soon for an appearance by Chris Beyrer, the incoming head of the International AIDS Society, which produces this conference, as well as Destiny Haz Arrived, an aboriginal man in full Wonder Woman regalia promoting messages of HIV prevention. The contrast between those two interviews says everything you need to know about the diversity of delegates and advocates here.
Thanks for watching, my friends. I'm working on my "G'day, mate!"

Bike Girl Dreams Big
That's right, Bike Girl's job as a fearless protagonist is not a particularly highly-paid position. While some would call her co-habitation with the bikes "cozy," Bike Girl often fantasizes about the day when she will be able to afford her fantasy bike storage solution.
If Bike Girl had unlimited resources, she would expand her collection and have a climate controlled chamber for each bike. While she's at it, she may as well hire several attractive mechanics to clean each chain link of each bike after every ride, and keep less-often-used steeds at their shiniest by wiping them down with cloth diapers each day.
If Bike Girl had more realistic, but greater resources, she would get a two bedroom apartment, with one bedroom for tucking in her bicycles. This room would have hanging bike storage on the walls, and included a workbench and stand so Bike Girl could get grease under her fingernails.
In lieu of a whole room just for bikes, Bike Girl would like a living room with extremely high ceilings. If she had that, she could use her cunning to create a pulley system like this.
But until Bike Girl breaks out of the lower middle class, she will continue climbing over her Girl Bike each morning, banging her head on the touring frame behind the couch, and pretending her go-fast bike is some sort of modern art piece, hanging on her wall.
Our fair protagonist wants to know how her readers store their bikes. She encourages them to leave comments.

Hi there,
It's funny you pose this question because my hubby and I were just talking about this very thing. We live in a small Hollywood one bedroom. It's just not safe to lock our bike up outdoors. Wait, we don't have bikes yet, but I'm in the market and I told him to get one too. His concern is figuring where to store it. At this point, I think I'll move a small desk that is on a lone wall and a bike could go there, and then one could go behind the couch (between table and couch-open floor plan). I figure this will work and when we have guests, the bedroom the bikes will go.
SUCKS! Storage issues suck!

I've been lurking awhile but here's a post I can de-lurk on!
We used to live in a tiny one bedroom apartment on the top floor of a converted old house (in UK). My and my partner's bikes (a grand total of 2 - we're dreaming about a second one each) were stored, hamperingly, in the hallway.
We moved into a two bedroom house that has a 'lean-to' - a tiny add-on room that is also our greenhouse. In the lean-to are lots of pot-plants, the washing machne, a basin, all our shoes, miscellaneous cardboard boxes and our two bikes, again, hampering our access to the outside!
I'd just like a garage, with big deep shelves for all our random bike, camping and climbing gear, and walls I can affix things, like a bike hanger, to - we rent so cannot hammer / screw things into walls :-(
Love your blog!

I used to keep my main ride locked up on my porch until one night I lucked into timing a last look out the front window before bed that coincided with two shadowy youths creeping up the front steps to steal it. Now my singlespeeder stays inside. My road bike and my wife's bike and my mountain bike are locked up With cable locks and ulocks in our locked garage.
The rack I use in the garage for my roadie and my wife's is the same floor-to-ceiling tension-fitted rack that I used inside the tiny one-bedroom I lived in prior to where I'm now.
Looks sorta like this:

My husband and I have a total of 4 bikes in a medium sized one-bedroom apartment, and a not-insignificant desire for more. As he rides to work every day (and I ride a few days a week), the only time there is space to move around the living room is when no one is there! The road bikes get prime real estate, propped up behind the mid-room couch, and against a bookcase, so hubby can easily work on them in the evening. The other two are up against the picture window (who needs to see outside?) and blocking his giant tool chest in the corner.
We've often talked of the day one of us makes enough so we can move into a lovely 2-bedroom, one bedroom being for bikes of course!

I just stumbled across your blog.
Interesting question - No right answer.
Well, I too store some bikes inside my humble abode. I keep one in the laundry room - one in my bedroom and another one in the living room.
Keeping my bikes group together seemed to take alot of space so that is why I keep them all separated.
Hope the best for your storage situation

Before I got a bike, this was my biggest concern! I have no garage space where I can park a bike (cars only!), no porch, I can't put largeish things into the walls and I have nothing that resembles a hall, laundry room or anything like that in my 1 bedroom apartment. Now I have 2 bikes and they sit in my bedroom, against a small couch that I never sit on. The space going to the bikes is worth it, so I don't mind it too much. When my boyfriend brings his bike over, it can get a little awkward to move around the apartment.

You can squeeze a few more into the apartment by getting folding bikes.
Seriously though, folks. Before assuming something is wrong with them because they are unconventional, try a few good ones out. They might be just work for you. No worries about theft, or loss, or space. Put under your desk, behind the sofa, in the luggage rack on the train, in your trunk for the beach... and then just unfold for a sweet ride:

First year of college, I lofted my bed (like bunk beds but just the top bunk) and had between 3 and 5 bikes underneath, depending on who needed a loaner bike or what I was riding. My roommate didn't seem to mind, but he was rather surprised I could fit that many in our tiny dorm room.

I unfortunately have all 14, no all 15 of the family bikes in my living/dining room. We used to keep 3 of them outside but someone tried to steal them. We keep talking about selling some of them so that our daughter can reach her toys on the shelves, but cannot decide which ones to let go. I am only just getting into bikes but I cannot seem to stop looking at them like I look at shoes.(which I should add cost more than most of our bikes and are much larger in quantity)
- August 14, 2009 at 10:45 PM
where to put bikes...
i've got an average size one bedroom apartment and keep three bikes in it. two of them are hung on a rack that holds one just inches above the floor and another above it. so, if you have space against a wall for one, you should have space for two.
the other sits in a stand that holds it upright by the chain and seat stays.
my other bikes are in the garage. i could keep them all there, but i like bikes inside.

The storage of my dreams would be some sort of princess bed for the bikes. i think they should clearly be indoors and have some comfort.

Street Address:
(Daily News File/Brandon Dill)
From a slew of high-profile guests who've come to speak over the past year, to a string of recent awards, to a U.S. Supreme Court justice's visit next month, it could be argued the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law is having a moment.
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia will be at the law school Dec. 16 to tour the facility and address students. His visit follows an extensive list of well-known guests who have come to the school to speak to students in recent months, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, and local community leaders such as Jason Wexler, Tomeka Hart, Kelly English and others.
The school also is bringing in former Enron CEO Don Miller in a couple of months.
The law school's dean, Peter Letsou, who came on board this summer, said the school is distinctive and worth celebrating for several reasons.
"One is our building – the facility is just spectacular, not only for Memphis, but it's as nice as any law school's in the country," he said. "Our location is also important. The Downtown urban location we have obviously puts us very close to the legal community and provides incredible opportunities for students – which is really becoming the hallmark of legal education today."
The college also has picked up several awards, rankings and individual recognitions recently.
The National Jurist, for example, has ranked the school as one of the best-value law schools in the nation in its new rankings. The school scored an "A-" in the rankings because of high bar-passage rates, affordable tuition, average debt upon graduation, employment rate and an attractive cost of living.
That continues a pattern of the law school being listed as one of the best-value law campuses in the nation, something that's been noted multiple times by The National Jurist and preLaw Magazine.
The school was also listed as a "best bargain law school for black students" by Lawyers of Color magazine. And the Council on Legal Education Opportunity at its recent 45th anniversary celebration recognized the school as a member of the inaugural group of William A. Blakey Diversity Pipeline Architects.
That honor was part of CLEO's "45 for 45" celebration, which recognized 45 law schools, 45 law firms, corporations and associations, and 45 individuals.
Meanwhile, the school also had the highest bar-passage rate among public schools in Tennessee on the most recent bar exam in July, with a pass rate of 91 percent. That's higher than the state average of 84 percent among first-time test takers on the July exam.
A few months ago, the school announced a partnership with the Memphis Bar Association and the Service Corps of Retired Executives to launch a new incubator program for young attorneys.
That program, ESQ.BUILD, is the bar association's sole-practitioner incubator designed for attorneys in their first three years of practice. The idea is for them to use the program to not only get training on how to practice law, but also on how to manage a law office.
The program will offer recent law school graduates office space at reduced prices, as well as mentoring, continuing legal education and a mix of other services.
As far as the college itself, Letsou's vision is to help "expand and extend" its reputation.
"We have what I think everybody in Memphis knows is a real gem, and the job is to make others beyond Memphis and Tennessee realize the great thing we have here," he said. "It's also important to continue the strong tradition of excellence the school has established in its first 50 years. We have a tremendous record of passage, of getting good jobs for our students, and that helps us establish the case for a very strong return on investment from our students."

Fensterdose, 1.4 Liter - Brilliant Steel wurde bewertet mit von 5 von 98.Rated 5 von 5 von Eagleannie aus Luvly jubly Although not the cheapest cannister set in the world, these are brilliant, they look good, they are air tight and I can fit a coffee jar inside on of them and a whole packet of sugar in another. They are really stylish and do exactly what you would want a cannister set to do - store tea coffee and sugar properly whilst they look great in the kitchen.Veröffentlichungsdatum: 2011-08-23Rated 5 von 5 von Cuddly Cat aus Very practical & stylish I have been researching new containers for some time now and although there are some lovely ceramic ones available - styles change so quickly and become dated. These containers are ageless and will always fit into any kitchen decor. What I particularly liked about these canisters is that they have a clear panel so contents can easily be identified and they do not have "tea, coffee & sugar" printed on them which means they can be used for other items such as pasta etc.Veröffentlichungsdatum: 2011-08-09Rated 1 von 5 von sue27 aus Not airtight or watertight! I bought 3 of these in May from Dunelm and also the matching breadbin from another online supplier. As the canisters are sold specifically for dried goods such as coffee and sugar it was very disappointing to find the coffee had absorbed moisture and had become solid and had to be thrown away. Coffee is not cheap!! The container had to be washed and when I put some water in it the water just went straight through the container where the sides connect to the base. Clearly storage jars should be air and watertight to keep the products fresh. I will be complaining to customer services. So disappointed as the colour of metallic mint is a perfect match fro my kitchen units.Veröffentlichungsdatum: 2017-10-30Rated 5 von 5 von Lee aus Lives upto it's quality I recently bought this item as i was fed up with canisters that do not keep the sugar and coffee from going solid! Well these canisters from Brabantia keep everything fresh and i've not had any problems with the sugar and coffee solidifying! I would recommend this product and Brabantia products in general.Veröffentlichungsdatum: 2010-02-16Rated 5 von 5 von karen aus Best Storage Canisters Ever Bought This is my second purchase of these canisters , my first set my daughter kindly adopted, i have purchased other brabantia items in the past and would never buy anything other than brabantia. When you buy brabantia you will never be dissapointed.Veröffentlichungsdatum: 2010-11-23Rated 5 von 5 von Ange aus nice product Nice smart canisters that do the job good quality as expected from brabantia, they look nice sitting on the worktop.Veröffentlichungsdatum: 2011-10-06Rated 5 von 5 von JAYDEE aus teacoffeesugar yup, nice looking things, got fed up of dropping pot ones, (they don't bounce )Veröffentlichungsdatum: 2013-02-19Rated 5 von 5 von rita aus good buy fantastic hardly leaves any fingermarks, very pleased with the item.Veröffentlichungsdatum: 2011-01-19
