Agile User Stories Training in Delhi, India
Course Overview:
All successful projects begin with simple, clear, definition of requirements, and this is performed through a process called Agile User Stories. These stories also describe the features required by the users, and are defined in clear and lucid terms. Following this methodical approach ensures the rest of the project can be strategically put in place.
Agile methodology was formed out of the need to find an effective new process that could replace conventional methods of software development, like the waterfall method, which were inherently prone to problems. Agile methods add flexibility to the development process, providing opportunities to assess and alter the direction of the project as it evolves.
User story workshops are held near the beginning of the project, with all team members participating and creating a product backlog that captures all the user perspectives and lays out all the functionality to be added till project completion. At each stage, user stories will absorb the changes that have been necessitated during the evolution of the project.
Our one day course in Agile User Stories Training will teach you the basics of this technique for expressing requirements as user stories, and will give you tips and guidelines for writing an effective user story. You will learn the basic components that stories must comprise of, and get tools that will help you to be clear and concise in your expression. Through an interactive user role modelling session and many examples from real life experience, participants can understand how to narrow down requirements and write better user stories.
Course Agenda:

A binary option is In fact a prediction of which direction the price of the underlying asset a stock, commodity, index or currency will move by a specified expiration time. With Binary Options, an investor doesn't purchase the asset - he is merely predicting the direction that the underlying asset moves. There are actually just two possible outcomes. The only thing that is matter is whether the prediction is correct or incorrect.
A binary options trade usably involved three steps:. First, you choose a trade expiration time, this is the time you want the trade to end. It could be any time period between a minute and a week - usably it is within the day. Second, you choose Call or Put. If you think the price will end up above the current price: If you think the price will end up below how to start trade binary options successfully pdf current price: Now that the trade is placed, you simply wait for the outcome.
If the trade expires 'in the money', you make a profit. If it expires 'out of the money'you'll lose. Now you can see where the "binary" comes from, it stresses the fact that there are two possible outcomes to a binary option, both of which are set and understood by the investor prior to placing a trade. Now here is an example:. If you are correct you get a previously set percentage return on your investment e. A number of factors distinguish binary options from regular stock options.
Typically the short-run expiration time suggests traders could make an immediate profit on the binary options and therefore are way more versatile in their option investments.
In regular stock options, a trader will pay per contract. Therefore the investor may profit or lose a sum based on the quantity of points how to start trade binary options successfully pdf between the expiration level and the strike price.
In contrast to binary options in which the two outcomes are actually set from the beginning. An investor in a binary option needs to hold onto his option until the expiry date. He must consequently take more care when ever buying his options as he is unable to sell them after they are purchased.
Binary options are categorized as exotic options, however, inside financial markets they sometimes are termed as digital options. While digital options are quite simple to understand and easily traded, the mathematics behind the pricing is complex.
It is because of this that digital options are referred to as exotic options. For years Binary Options were traded by large institutions and their clients in the over the counter market OTC.

Little inspires Gers to big win
Andy Little grabbed a hat-trick as Rangers came from behind to beat East Stirling 5-1 in the first ever Third Division game at Ibrox.
Last Updated: 18/08/12 5:22pm
Paul Quinn converted an early penalty for the Shire but the treble from Little, a first Rangers goal on his first start from Francisco Sandaza and a late strike from Lee McCulloch secured a one-sided victory.
The Glasgow giants' first Third Division match at Ibrox attracted 49,118 supporters - one of biggest attendances in the United Kingdom this weekend.
Rangers chief executive Charles Green addressed fans ahead of kick-off, making reference to a campaign to sell out Scottish Premier League grounds last week.
He told the Ibrox crowd: "Never mind 'Sell-out Saturday' - this is 'Sold-out Saturday'. That's testament to the passion, loyalty and commitment shown by the Rangers support and we thank you all."
His comments were met with a loud cheer, as was Ian Black's name when the teams were read out, after the midfielder was jeered by Scotland fans when he made his international debut midweek.
Rangers made one change, with Sandaza replacing youngster Barrie McKay, who netted his first senior goal for the club in last week's draw at Peterhead.
Brazilian Emilson Cribari was named on the bench for the first time after being granted international clearance.
Once the action was under way, Rangers were stunned when East Stirling took the lead after just three minutes.
Referee Kevin Clancy pointed to the spot after Michael Herd went to ground under pressure from Carlos Bocanegra and Quinn kept his cool to lash past Neil Alexander.
Rangers immediately set about trying to haul themselves back into the game and Black saw his powerful long-ranger crash off the crossbar.
The home side continued to pile on the pressure and Sandaza set up Little for the shot in front of goal that goalkeeper Ryan McWilliams did well to block.
But he was plucking the ball out of the net with 15 minutes gone when Little collected from Black and slid the ball past McWilliams into the bottom corner.
There was a blow for Rangers when Dean Shiels limped out of the action clutching his right thigh after just 23 minutes, with McKay given the nod to replace him.
Sandaza should have had the net bulging with a left-foot volley but blasted high and wide from close-range.
Instead, the honours went to Little again, who threw himself in front of a Kirk Broadfoot cross and sent a diving header past the Shire keeper from six yards four minutes from half-time.
The Northern Ireland international should have claimed his third after the re-start when he met a Sandaza pass in plenty of space, took a touch, and then rifled well off-target.
Sandaza then turned provider for McCulloch, squaring into the path of the on-rushing utility man, only for his low drive to smack off the post.
Rangers were celebrating again after 63 minutes when Sandaza eventually stabbed home from close range in the packed goal-mouth after Broadfoot and Goian both had efforts blocked.
Little claimed his hat-trick 10 minutes later when he forced over the line after Sandaza's header was blocked by the keeper following excellent play by McKay.
With no way back for the visitors, Cribari was thrown into the action to make his debut with just over 10 minutes to go.
McCulloch then put the gloss on the win when he stroked home from a McKay cross in injury time.

EUGENE, Oregon – Lipscomb track and field athletes Madi Talbert and Gemikal Prude will begin their quest for dominance as the NCAA Nationals kick off on Wednesday.
Talbert qualified in the 3000-meter steeplechase with a time of 10:08.21 placing her in the top 12 of the preliminary round.
Finishing eighth overall, Prude qualified in the high jump with a leap of 2.14 meters.
"The National Championships are exciting, but I don't really see them as a big deal," said Bill Taylor, director of track and field. "What I mean is this is where we should be. It's just racing.
"The best athletes bring out the best in you. The track is the same distance around and the high jump is the same height for everyone. It's all about how you view the opportunity."
Taylor says Prude and Talbert are approaching the opportunity with calm excitement and see the nationals as an experience and an opportunity.
"Last year it felt big to Madi," Taylor said. "Now she just wants to go out there and race and see what happens.
"Gemikal has already proven at the NCAA I Indoor National Championships that he keeps it all in perspective. Both athletes believe this is where they should be. They believe they are as good as anyone in the nation."
Even more impressive for the pair is that they are appearing at nationals as sophomores.
"It's also nice that both are sophomores," Taylor said. "While you can't take anything for granted, they both expect to be here in the future too. So this experience is just that, an opportunity to learn and grow and discover."
With Talbert qualifying for the second year and Prude for the first, Taylor has a strong feeling regarding the future of the Lipscomb track and field program.
"The big thing I want to say though, and I felt this last year, is that this is where we are supposed to be as a program," Taylor said. "What I mean is, we have a lot of athletes on our men's and women's teams that can and should be at these national championships too.
"At the national championships last year I had this feeling the whole time that it's not that big a deal and we should have tons of athletes here every year. We are just waiting for them to know and believe and it will happen."
Taylor believes Prude and Talbert could be key in propelling the program forward to its full potential.
"I know Gemikal and Madi really want more teammates here," Taylor said. "They want Lipscomb to expand our national presence, in cross country and track & field."
Taylor feels the two will lead the way and have a strong impact on the rest of the team.
"So next year, when we qualify a lot more athletes, Madi and Gemikal can help them prepare and compete," Taylor said. "This week is going to be fun. So is the future!"
Talbert will compete in the semifinals of the 3000-meter steeplechase on Wednesday night in heat two while Prude competes in the finals of the high jump on Friday.
The steeplechase will be live on ESPN3 online as well as on ESPNU.
The men's high jump will be shown on ESPNU as well.

Last year, there were 775 fatalities among U.S. construction workers: 133 among those in the construction of buildings, 169 in heavy/civil engineering projects, and 456 involving workers in specialty trades. What can construction firms do to prevent fatalities? Building a culture of safety must start at the top.
Last year, there were 775 fatalities among U.S. construction workers: 133 among those in the construction of buildings, 169 in heavy/civil engineering projects, and 456 involving workers in specialty trades. Those 775 deaths are up from 738 in 2011, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Those 775 fatalities also make construction America's deadliest industry, well ahead of mining (177 deaths), manufacturing (314), and agriculture/forestry (475).
If there is any good news in these morbid figures, it is that the rate of fatal incidents in construction has been declining steadily in the last decade, down nearly half since 2006 (although some of that decline must be attributed to the downturn in construction from 2008 to 2011). The construction industry itself can take much of the credit for that improvement, through its voluntary safety training programs.
State and federal safety programs are grossly understaffed. According to The Construction Chart Book, published by CPWR - The Center for Construction Research and Training (http://www.cpwr.com/pdfs/chart_book_5th/chart_book_fifth_edition.pdf ), the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration has just 2,200 inspectors to cover eight million work sites and 130 million workers in all industries. That's an impossible task, so the job of protecting workers really falls to the contractors themselves.
What can construction firms do to prevent fatalities (not to mention work site injuries, which occur at the rate of about 150 for every 100,000 full-time-equivalent construction workers, according to CPWR)?
In a white paper from property and casualty insurer ACE Construction, George Cesarini, Geoffrey Hall, and Matthew Kupiec offer a dozen practical suggestions, several of which deserve careful consideration by contractors.
Building a culture of safety must start at the top, the authors say. The job of safety can't be the sole responsibility of a construction firm's safety managers. It has to start in the C suite.
Construction firms must also control substance abuse, which remains a "widespread problem" in the industry, with an illicit abuse rate of 13.7%, second highest among 19 major industries, after the hospitality sector.
Prequalifying subcontractors for such factors as their experience modification rate (an insurance industry rating factor), OSHA citation record, and lost-time incident rate is another responsibility of contractor firms, as is training and orienting not only their own workers but also their subcontractors' laborers.
Finally, if construction firms want to make a real dent in reducing on-the-job fatalities, they must focus on the management of falls. Last year, about half of the 133 deaths that occurred in the construction of buildings were due to slips and falls. Of 456 deaths among workers in specialty trade contractor firms last year, 187 (41%) were attributed to slips and falls.
The ACE Construction experts recommend that, while regulations may vary, fall prevention measures should start at minimum height of six feet. That's because, of 541 fatalities involving falls across all industries, 57% occurred at a height of less than 20 feet, and a quarter of deaths resulted from falls of less than 10 feet. So the problem is not limited to high-rise jobs.

Adult Protective Services
Patricia Brownell and Joanne Marlatt Otto
Adult Protective Services (APS) are empowered by states and local communities to respond to reports and cases of vulnerable adult abuse, neglect, and self-neglect. While incorporating legal, medical, and mental health services, APS programs are part of the social services delivery system and incorporate principles and practices of the social work profession.
Family Caregiving
Sandra Owens and Letha A. Chadiha
There is evidence that family caregiving in the United States has been increasing at an unprecedented rate as a result of various societal issues. This entry provides a summary of the scholarly literature regarding elder-caregiving trends, demographics, legislation, challenges, and racial and socioeconomic impacts, as well as the rewards of caregiving. Additionally, the entry provides empirical findings regarding evidence-based interventions associated with family caregiving of older adults.
Perpetrators of Intimate Partner Violence
Larry W. Bennett and Oliver J. Williams
Perpetrators of intimate partner violence (IPV) use coercive actions toward intimate or formerly intimate partners, including emotional abuse, stalking, threats, physical violence, or rape. The lifetime prevalence of IPV is 35% for women and 28% for men, with at an estimated economic cost of over ten billion dollars. IPV occurs in all demographic sectors of society, but higher frequencies of IPV perpetration are found among people who are younger and who have lower income and less education. Similar proportions of men and women use IPV, but when the effects of partner abuse are considered, women bear the greatest physical and behavioral health burden. Single-explanation causes for IPV such as substance abuse, patriarchy, and personality disorders are sometimes preferred by practitioners, advocates, and policymakers, but an understanding of IPV perpetration is enhanced when we look through the multiple lenses of culture and society, relationship, and psychological characteristics of the perpetrators.
Sheara A. Williams
Violence is a serious social issue that affects millions of individuals, families, and communities every year. It transcends across racial, age, gender, and socioeconomic groups, and is considered a significant public health burden in the United States. The purpose of this entry is to provide an overview of violence as a broad yet complicated concept. Definitional issues are discussed. Additional prevalence rates of select types of violence are presented in addition to risk and protective factors associated with violent behavior. The entry concludes with a summary of approaches to address violence in the context of prevention and intervention strategies.
Women's Health
Vimla Nadkarni and Roopashri Sinha
The entry outlines a historical and global overview of women's health in the context of human rights and public health activism. It unravels social myths, traditional norms, and stereotypes impacting women's health because social workers must understand the diverse factors affecting women's health in a continually changing and globalized world. There is need for more inclusive feminist and human rights models to study and advocate women's health. There is as much scope for working with women in a more holistic manner as there is for researching challenging issues and environments shaping women's health.

Since the fall of the wall, post-Communist Berlin has become a thriving creative and cultural center. The art scene here internationally renowned, and there is first-rate shopping for everything from global brands to hip, locally designed lines. There's a legendary nightlife scene, and parties very often continue on through sunrise. And then, of course, there are the city's iconic sights, from the Brandenburg Gate to the Jewish Museum, with its ultra-modern architecture. Berlin is a city where old, shrapnel scarred buildings abut some of the most cutting-edge architecture in the world.
The culinary scene is decidedly good, which is surprising to many first-time visitors. The city has embraced many of the cultural and ethnic foods: Donner kebab, currywurst, and other local favorites are perfect examples of this, all the way up to the Michelin-starred restaurants in Berlin Mitte.
It's still very possible to experience Berlin on a budget: Meals and hotel rates are low compared to other European capitals such as Paris or London. The sheer size of the city also dwarfs most others, but the sprawl is easily managed thanks to the (very clean, efficient, 24-hour) U-Bahn and S-Bahn train systems.
Where to Stay
In a city the size Berlin, choosing where to stay falls mainly on budget and personality type. Many value hotels are located far east and west of the City Center, which can save guests money, but will force them to use the train system to get to any of Berlin's sights. Staying along Kurfurstendamm (ostensibly the city's most vibrant shopping street) is always fun for first time visitors. If you're looking to become more familiar with the locals, Prenzlauer Bergs bohemian chic vibe provides for a great base.

The Agriculture Department on Tuesday offered new aid to water-starved California farmers, while lawmakers tussled over competing anti-drought proposals.
Underscoring how California's water crisis has reached a political boil, top federal and state officials jointly announced the relatively modest new package of aid that features $20 million for agricultural water conservation efforts. Additional aid for California will be announced by the Forest Service on Thursday.
"This is really designed to pump resources into problem solving," Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack declared. "We expect and anticipate that this is the first of a number of (aid) announcements."
Accompanied by Karen Ross, secretary of the California Department of Food and Agriculture, and Rep. Jim Costa, D-Calif., Vilsack announced the funding for which California farmers can apply. Grants will be provided for projects that could include improving irrigation efficiency, planting cover crops and protecting grazing lands, among other efforts.
"While we're all praying for rain, we can use all the help we can get," Costa said.
Officials opened up the aid taps precisely as the Republican-controlled House prepared to approve on Wednesday an ambitious California water package tailored for Central Valley irrigation districts. The House bill authorizes several new dams, repeals a San Joaquin River restoration program and steers water from fish to farmers.
There's little doubt the House will approve the GOP water bill, introduced by freshman Rep. David Valadao, R-Calif., and based largely on a controversial bill previously authored by Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif. There's also little doubt that key elements will subsequently sink in the Senate, where California Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer have already vigorously denounced the House measure.
California Gov. Jerry Brown also opposes the House bill as an "unwelcome and divisive intrusion." At the same time, the House push has seemed to motivate senators and administration officials to bounce back with alternatives. It did not seem a coincidence that the Agriculture Department aid was announced on the eve of House action.
In a similar happenstance, top state and federal water officials set Wednesday for a Sacramento briefing on drought responses. A Feinstein bill is expected within days.
"You have to act," House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield said Tuesday, as if addressing California's senators. "If you don't like the bill we send, then tell us what you do support so we can go to conference and get something done. But stop ignoring a problem."
Echoing the common GOP theme, the chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee, Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Wash., declared that "all we have heard is lip service from the senators from California."
"We have farmers and farm workers who are out of work," Nunes said Tuesday. "Now we are in an all-out emergency."
Republican leaders propelled the House bill onto a quick legislative path, scheduling the 68-page package for a vote without a hearing and within a week of it being introduced. Unlike a typical bill, it lacks a committee report offering explanations, background and budget estimates.
The leadership-controlled House Rules Committee on Tuesday considered 17 proposed Democratic amendments, allowing votes on eight. The array of proposed amendments illustrated the regional as well as partisan split caused by the House bill, with several jointly authored by Northern California and Sacramento Valley lawmakers.
"This bill in its current form upsets virtually every water contract in California," said Rep. John Garamendi, D-Calif.
Dubbed the Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley Emergency Water Delivery Act, the House measure limits part of a landmark 1992 law that directed more water to protect the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. It removes wild-and-scenic protections from a half-mile of the Merced River in order to potentially expand McClure Reservoir. It lengthens federal irrigation contracts and preempts some state law.
In a jab aimed directly at Feinstein, who worked for several years to win approval of the current San Joaquin River restoration program, the House measure repeals the expensive effort and replaces it with something much smaller. Acting on their own, within the authority of existing law, federal officials on Monday announced they were suspending restoration release of San Joaquin River water through 2015.

Justin Dee necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 26 diseños de 6 diseñadores freelance.
Living Legacy Studios
I am a business man who discovered a passion for video. The business is a year old. I do work for small businesses who want to create commercials to put on the web. It is a great fit being able to use my business background and coupling it with a unique eye for video. Customers compliment my ability to direct a commercial. They are amazed how I take what seems to be a bizarre shot or unusual camera angles and blend it into a cohesive story allowing them to tell their story professionally and have a unique commercial that stands out from their competition. The Brand name originated because I wanted to be a part of something that would live longer than myself and with video that is possible. I would like to someday direct a movie that is based on a true story. Something similar to a recent release called "Blindside".
My client is the small business owner, which ranges from a start-up company to a seasoned business generating $5 million in annual sales. They are purchasing from me the directing and editing of a commercial shot in High Definition, which is used on the web, TV, and DVD.
The logo will express class and excellence. I tend to prefer more classical designs, but I am not against a modern twist. The designer is given great freedom but the logo must communicate excellence of work, creativeness (I am a very creative director & editor), and a high end premium product.
I have not decided on colors yet so let your creativity guide you. To help with design concept I have attached two screen shots of ideas I like, but don't restrict yourself. Use this as a launching point. NOTE: I do not like the colors of the camera photo but I like the design.
The logo will be used for the website and business cards.

The Yoga is Lenovo's answer to the iPad, designed to exploit a very real weakness: Despite how wonderful the iPad is for entertainment, it sucks for real work. Adding a keyboard helps, explaining why a keyboard is one of the most popular accessories for the iPad. The best of them connect solidly to the tablet so you can use the whole thing in your lap, and some cases which hold both together, preventing the keyboard and tablet from beating each other to an ugly death in your computer bag or purse.
Lenovo recently snatched the number one PC vendor spot from HP, and it pulled out all of the stops to get there. The Yoga is only one of a number of innovative devices that Lenovo plans to release. But Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, blasted the effort as combining a "refrigerator with a toaster" in order to dull the effort on convertibles (Lenovo is only one of a number of vendors that will have convertibles and hybrids in market). Is he right, or is he full of just as much BS as Steve Jobs was when he said video was stupid on an iPod, eReaders would never sell (because people didn't read and single purpose devices like say oh, the original iPod was, can't be successful), or (ironically) tablets wouldn't work because people required keyboards.
Convertibles vs. hybrids vs. iPads
What's the difference between a convertible and a hybrid tablet? With a convertible, the screen remains attached to the tablet, while with a hybrid, the two can be disconnected. The iPad has been able to approach these two concepts successfully for some time with accessories. For instance, the iPad will hard dock with keyboards like the MiniSuit, so the combination can sit on your lap — this is a hybrid configuration. On the other hand the Trent Arcadia Airbender Case essentially turns the iPad into a laptop, and this is a convertible configuration.
To draw a car analogy, buying an iPad is like buying a convertible car without the top . You can get one, but you have to buy it on the aftermarket. (There have been a few low-run premium cars that have done this over the years, but generally you buy the car and the top together.) The Yoga is a convertible as you would typically buy one off the lot – top included.
The hybrid approach has the advantage of low weight; and with some designs, increased battery life and an office dock. If you don't need the keyboard, you can leave it connected and leave it behind only taking the tablet. The keyboard can also provide a second battery (like the Asus Transformer Prime Android tablet) effectively doubling the battery life when connected. The disadvantage is you often have to buy this component separately, and the combined total can be both heavier and more complex.
The advantage of a convertible is that you always have the keyboard with you, and there is typically no connector to break. The hinge designs, because they don't have to connect and disconnect, are simpler, cheaper and less likely to be damaged. The disadvantage is that convertibles can be more expensive initially, and are heavier in tablet mode. Both configurations work better on your lap than a separate (non-docked) tablet and keyboard, like the Windows 8 Samsung tablet I'm currently using.
With two separate components that don't physically connect, you have to carry a stand for the tablet when you use it with the keyboard, and because the stand typically doesn't work on your lap, you'll also need a table or an empty chair to put the tablet on instead.
Betting on gullibility
Tim Cook knows that connecting a keyboard and a tablet to create a touch laptop computer isn't like blending a refrigerator and toaster. He likely sees his own customer using iPads all the time with the keyboards Apple sells, and notebooks have clearly been successful (I'm pretty sure Apple sells these too). But he doesn't want to embrace a design that could eliminate customers who are now buying both a MacBook and an iPad, which is the true value of a convertible or hybrid. You don't need two products. If that were to happen, Apple's revenues would fall. Regardless of whether customers want this as a choice, profit trumps customer need at most companies, including Apple. If Apple were in the car business, it would be selling a car without a top for sunny days, and a second, much larger car with a roof for cloudy days, because they'd want to sell you two cars.
That said, Apple is pretty damn successful at convincing us that we want what it uniquely sells, so maybe this says more about how gullible we are than it does about these designs. Did you actually think putting a tablet and a keyboard together was like melding a refrigerator and toaster, or more like a convertible car with a retractable roof?
Sadly, I imagine a lot of folks thought Cook was right. Ironically, many of them probably consumed Cook's comments on an iPad in a case that wedded it to a keyboard. Yep, many of us are that gullible. The success of products like the Lenovo Yoga will depend of people seeing the products for what they are, not how Tim Cook wants them to be seen. I'll grant you that a convertible tends to be more complex and problematic than a hard top, but I still think it is a hell of a lot more practical than a car without a top at all.

Following on an impressive line of fuel system components manufactured from high quality materials and methods, Andy Phillips of Andair is proudly displaying his new throttle quadrant system at this year's Sun 'n Fun. Designed primarily with the RV market in mind, the Andair throttle quadrant features up and down flap buttons on the throttle handle, simplifying the pilot's workload during the approach to landing. "You don't have to take your hands off of the throttle or stick during landing anymore," says Phillips. "Of course, it doesn't work with manual flaps."
Built from the same aircraft-grade materials as the the rest of the Andair product line, I found the new throttle quadrant was a joy to operate, even while just standing in the Andair booth monkeying with the prototype. "I've got about 700 hours with it in my RV-7," says Phillips, "and it fits the hand just perfectly."
The Andair quadrant is designed to work with all conventional push/pull engine control cables, and the most expensive model controlling throttle, prop and mixture functions has a price tag of $395. More information is available and orders can be placed at Andair.

This will make some simple CSS changes (to the background color, etc) & *voila* .. new look to the site.
We'll have 8 different color schemes. You only need to design one, but please keep our end vision in mind.
To get a feel for the type of layout I really like, check out http://www.mattlanning.com .. I like their clean design & use of stock photos

- Simple, clean, crisp, fresh, web 2.0 looking
- A design that we can easily control with our CMS
- No need to spend much time on a header logo .. in fact, the simpler the better .. we're looking mainly @ layout

Romantic Proposals
We have a special spot for those singularly irresistible suppers for two. We call it "Dis-Moi Oui", in tribute to two icons of seduction: a celebrated engagement ring and a particularly sensual brand of sandals.
There's a secluded corner of the park where everything conspires to make sure the answer is yes. A refined table, a profusion of flowers, candlelight and a lakeside view. The menu can be agreed in advance with our chef and a musician can be arranged for those who wish. Impossible to say no.

AMERICUS, Ga. - The Georgia Southwestern Lady Hurricanes opened their 2013 home slate with a split against 13th ranked Rollins College Saturday afternoon winning the first game in thrilling fashion, 3-2, while dropping the second in an equally close contest, 2-3.
Game 1: GSW 3, Rollins 2
GSW was first on the board as Ashley Clifton hit a second-inning lead off home run to put the Lady 'Canes up 1-0 over the Tars.
The Blue & Gold held the advantage going into the sixth inning when Rollins rallied as the Tars scored two runs in the top of the sixth inning to take a 2-1 advantage.
With two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, and Southwestern's back directly against the wall, the Lady Hurricanes responded.
Janna Anderson reached base on a single to center field while Rachel McElroy followed with a single of her own, advancing Anderson to third.
Shelley Sweatt loaded up the bases when the sophomore reached base on a walk leaving the late game heroics to sophomore Kiley Doster.
Doster came through in the clutch, singling to left field, scoring the game-winning two runs as Georgia Southwestern (5-2) notched the come-from-behind upset victory, 3-2.
The Lady Hurricanes notched six hits, five coming in the final two innings.
Clifton hit her second home run on the season and Doster paced the team with two RBIs.
GSW starter Allison Pastor (3-1) picked up her third straight victory as the junior tossed a complete game, allowing two hits on 10 runs.
Rollins (8-1) dropped their first game of the season as starting pitcher Stephanie Sullivan (4-1) gave up 3 runs on 6.2 innings of work.
Game 2: Rollins 3, GSW 2
The second game of the doubleheader followed in much of the same fashion as the first but this time GSW finished on the losing end of a close, 3-2 contest.
Georgia Southwestern once again got on the scoreboard first as a Rachel McElroy's RBI single up the middle in the bottom of the second inning scored Avery Purser to give the Lady Hurricanes a 1-0 advantage.
Rollins tied up the contest in the top of the fifth inning when Kristie Hoeffer drove in a run off a RBI double to center field tying the contest, 1-1.
GSW responded when Mason Moreland scored in the bottom of the fifth inning off an Ashley Clifton RBI single as the Lady Hurricanes went ahead, 2-1.
Much like in the opening contest, the trailing team rallied to take the victory, although this time GSW was on the other end as Rollins made a late game rally.
The Tars scored two runs in the top of the sixth inning to pull ahead and used strong pitching the rest of the way to secure the 3-2 victory to ensure the two-game split on the day.
Southwestern (5-3) was led by Avery Purser's two hit performance as the Lady 'Canes had five on the contest.
GSW pitcher Erin Vick (1-2) took the loss as the sophomore tossed 5.2 innings and gave up three runs on six hits.
Niki Fogle (4-0) secured the win for Rollins (9-1) as the freshman threw a complete game allowing two runs on five hits.

Floras Lake House Bed & Breakfast
We built and opened Floras Lake House B&B in 1991 and are celebrating our 28th season! We are located on Floras Lake, 17 miles south of Bandon on the Southern Oregon coast. Only a sand dune separates fresh-water Floras Lake from the ocean. This unique, beautiful setting truly sets us apart. Incredible lake and ocean views are seen from all 4 of our comfortable rooms. Each offers private baths, vaulted wood ceilings and private deck entrances ~ two with tiled fireplace.
Beachcomb for agates or explore the incredible state park trails nearby. Relax on our sunny, wind-protected decks just off of your room and take in the beautiful scenery of our B&B grounds with the lake and ocean beyond. Watch the windsurfers and kiteboarders on the lake or search for wildlife like the river otters, beaver, blue heron, osprey or our local bald eagles. You may get lucky and see bull elk grazing across the lake or a black bear going for a swim!
We are looking forward to meeting you soon!
