It combines elegance and wedding website functionality seemlessly to create a true work of art. The Avant Garde wedding website template is fully customizable in WedMeDos Design Studio.</p>
<p>WedMeDo now also offers a free wedding announcement or save-the-date site which is also customizable in the Design Studio. See http://www.wedmedo.com/templates.asp</p>
<p>The use of Wedding websites to communicate wedding details is gaining popularity worldwide. Online wedding and event RSVP facilities, online wedding gift registries, wedpages that offer details of such things as pre-wedding events, wedding accommodation, directions to wedding venues and online guest books all go to make a wedding website an invaluable tool in disseminating wedding information. And then there are the fun bits that bring smiles and sometimes tears to the eyes of friends and relatives &#8211; things such as special messages to the parents of the bride and groom, amusing stories of how brides and grooms met, the brides perception of the groom and vice versa and of course the ever-present photo galleries sporting pictures of years gone by, memories, pre-wedding parties and so on. No wonder there are so many wedding website vendors on the web, but none offering quite what WedMeDo.com offers. See http://www.wedmedo.com/features.html</p>
<p>A bit about WedMeDo.com. The idea of offering a Design Studio to allow brides and grooms to design their own flash wedding websites was birthed by WeddingOrg.com. WeddingOrg has been offering customized wedding websites for over 7 years. Each wedding website is uniquely design by a graphic designer to meet the specific requirements of the bride and groom. The design process is time consuming and each wedding website therefore costs $400-$700. See http://www.wedmedo.com/packages.html<br />. <br />Page Views: 40 <br /><img src="http://www.dslrwatch.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/2520b_banner.jpg" /></p>

		<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>Tom Landry and Ashley Lekov of TheHotSpotGuide.com know exactly how hard it is to manage a 100% free online dating service.  They created their free online dating service on October 2007 they had no idea how ruthless and competitive the  free online dating industry was.   Tom Landry and Ashley Lekov thought if they hosted innovative features and all dating services for free they would become a success on the internet, little did they know that all of the other free dating entrepreneurs had the same idea.  </p>
<p>Creators Tom and Ashley decided if they were going to get anywhere they would have to come up with a better plan.  They integrated both free dating services and social networking tools so that members could set their own pace while dating online.  </p>
<p>&#8220;We wanted our members to have fun during the process of finding online romance.&#8221;  Ashley says.  </p>
<p>&#8220;Instead of having the average meat market we wanted to give our users some options.  Most people like to take things slow and become well-acquainted before getting romantically involved.&#8221; Ashley added.  </p>
<p>On top of having the more traditional dating services like camera chat, IMs, email, winks,  chat rooms, and hot or not, TheHotSpotGuide.com expanded their community by adding two other themes.  One of the themes is called Yoga Dating where members can watch free yoga videos, and the other theme is set up for performing artists where they can publicly display their works.  Members can then vote for their favorite artist, comedian, and musician getting them placed on the front page of the site.  Ashley and Tom also added quizzes, online stores, videos, customizable profiles, forums, and a questionnaire-like profile which generated both matches and friends.  </p>
<p>&#8220;After the additions to the site we started to notice more and more people were interacting with each other.&#8221;  Tom Landry says.  </p>
<p>&#8220;That was when the real work began.&#8221;  Tom states.</p>
<p>By real work Tom meant the amount of spam flooding his free dating site.  Both Tom and Ashley monitor TheHotSpotGuide.com daily for any suspicious emails, chat and IM messages, and even blogs.  They delete anyone who asks another member for their personal information on the first encounter.  </p>
<p>&#8220;We couldnt believe how many people do this for a living.&#8221;  Ashley says.  </p>
<p>&#8220;This is a major crime and should be handled appropriately by the authorities.&#8221;  Toms says.  </p>
<p>While hosting new services and monitoring spam these two hard working entrepreneurs continuously optimize their free online dating site.  </p>
<p>&#8220;This is the most mind-numbing process of all.&#8221;  Tom claims.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yes, at first we had not a clue where to start.&#8221; Ashley agrees.  </p>
<p>But they somehow found the right formula because they are rapidly climbing to the search engines front pages for most of their targeted keywords.  </p>
<p>&#8220;We keep our methods honest and search engine friendly.&#8221; Tom states. </p>
<p>&#8220;We noticed other free dating services performing black-hat techniques and not getting anywhere, so we steered clear of those methods.&#8221;  Ashley added. </p>
<p>Has this been worth it?  Do these two brave business owners have lives, other than the internet?  </p>
<p>&#8220;Totally, a friend always told me you can become successful at anything as long as you work hard and steadily.&#8221;  Tom states. </p>
<p>&#8220;Absolutely! I feel honored knowing about web design, SEO, and other useful internet methods.  No matter what you put your mind to you can achieve anything.&#8221;  Ashley says. . <br />Page Views: 0 <br /><img src="http://www.dslrwatch.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/4c6b3_downloadcube.gif" /></p>

		<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>Irish green builder Viking House has been awarded Passivhaus Institute certification for its foundation system. Speaking to Construct Ireland, Viking House’s Seamus O’Loughlin said that the system, which has an Irish patent, has been used on about ten building projects to date.</p>
<p>O’Loughin told Construct Ireland that the system eliminates cold brides and can deliver a U-Value of 0.107 W/m2k. “The house sits on a reinforced insulated ring beam with an insulated upstand dividing the ring beam and the concrete floor”. “Swedish tests show that 65 percent of the heat from underfloor heating is lost to the ground when a standard Irish foundation system is used. Our system reduces this to 17 percent.”</p>
<p>Viking House’s system is available in two constructions one for timber frame buildings and another suitable for heavier block buildings. O’Loughlin said that cold bridging often negatively affects the U-Value of traditional foundation systems. “we calculated the heat loss from traditional Irish foundations using DEAP. The floor was designed to have a U-Value of 0.25 W/m2k but when the cold bridging at the perimeter walls and where the internal walls sit directly on the ground were added, the real U-Value jumped up to 0.47 W/m2k. When we calculate the heat loss at the front and the rear door threshold and where the chimneys sit directly on the ground the actual U-value went up over 0.6 W/m2k.”</p>
<p>“Irish houses tested with our thermal imaging camera showed up red around foundation level due to major heat loss at this point.”  “When building a passive house its important to start with good foundations. There is a cold bridge in most Irish Houses where the foundations meet the walls because there is a break in the insulation and the inside block sits directly on the top of cold foundations causing major heat loss. If we built a passive house on top of standard Irish foundations most of the heat loss would occur at this point.”</p>

		<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>June 6, 2009 &#8211; Somewhere in America, a mobile phone with corporate or personal information is laying on the park bench or beside the Manatee tank at the Zoo. The owner might find their phone or someone might find it for them and turn it in, but 80% of the time, the device is lost, never to be recovered.<br />NorkaTech Inc. has introduced Cléo, a proactive solution that prevents the loss of your phone by alerting you when you have dropped or forgot your phone.  <br />Cléo attaches to the user’s keychain. If a monitored mobile phone is more than 32 feet from its owner, Cléo triggers an alarm. When the owner is at home or office, Cléo issues a soft alert.<br /> According to Mr. Ben Ayed, VP of Marketing, “Cléo protection system allows corporations to award customers with a product that will help them protect their mobile devices as well as their personal and corporate information.”</p>
<p>Cléo faceplate is customizable. It lights every 3 seconds thus drawing attention to a brand logo. “Cléo can also send an electronic brochure to the mobile phone photo album which makes it the perfect marketing tool for companies that want to reward VIP clients, promote new services, or provide incentive programs” stated Mr. Ayed. <br />As a security solution for enterprise, Cléo not only prevents loss of mobile devices, but also provides next generation device-assisted access authentication, automatic login or single logon solutions to mobile enterprise applications. <br />Although Cléo is only available for corporations and large enterprises to provide as a reward or security application, it is perhaps one of the most technologically advanced mobile security devices on the market. Cléo, which is FCC and CE certified, customizable and patented is also a green product.   <br />For more information, contact Ben Ayed via email at ben@CleoPlus.com. You can also learn more about the Cléo Plus by visiting www.CleoPlus.com<br />. <br />Page Views: 0 <br /><img src="http://www.dslrwatch.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/23100_downloadcube.gif" /></p>

It is all about experiencing the adrenaline that comes with the whole thing. These are all that is what is important for you. And that is something that you really do love. </p>
<p>You have tried different types of activities that made your blood rush. And you just continue on doing so because it is what makes you happy. Rappelling down really steep cliffs has been an amazing experience. You have also tried out diving in the ocean and swimming with the sharks and spending time with the various fishes. Spelunking has also been another activity that you have tried. Going through rough trails on a mountain bike really brings the rush to you as well. These are just a few of what you have been doing in your life. </p>
<p>Now if you want to record all your adventures, you can actually do so. You do not have to have a group of friends with you who will take pictures of how you are doing. And of course what you want is to actually record your adventures as you see and as you feel it during the times that you do those activities. And that is what the All Terrain Action Camera or commonly known as the ATC 2000 will allow you to do. You can actually share to the world the actual feeling that you feel while you are in that very moment of adrenaline-pumping action. </p>
<p>This is a really simple gadget. All you need to do is fasten it right on your helmet or whatever it is that you are wearing. You can choose to put it on your bike or motorcycle or anything that you will be using for your extreme activity. The gadget has been designed to be easily attached so it will surely not be a problem for you. And when you have done so, you need to choose just what resolution you would like it to take your adventures. The options are 160 x 120 as the smallest, 320 x 240 as the medium sized option, and the largest which is 640 x 480. And then, you have to choose between 15 fps and 30 fps for the frame rate. Any frame rate that you choose will work with any resolution. And that is it. This is real action <a name="http://www.gadgetepoint.co.uk/cat-photography.php">photography</a>. . <br />Page Views: 0 <br /><img src="http://www.dslrwatch.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/2b7e6_downloadcube.gif" /></p>
