Go out of your way to consistently create detailed content that brings enormous value to the end user, and you'll be on your way to dominating search. Always Add Value. Add value in every blog post, blog comment, social media update and web page. Don't worry about backlinks or keyword rank. People will read and share your valuable content, and the rest will take care of itself. Google has made it apparent that site speed matter in search rankings, and today, with a bigger emphasis on the user experience than ever before, site speed will continue to be a critical ranking factor. Google's algorithms try to mimic the decisions of real people. The better your links work with real people, the better the links will work with Google's algorithms. SEO offers incredible opportunity and access (it's an inherently free marketing channel) to inbound traffic, but it can be hard to know where to start and what advice to follow.
Analysing the raw data on campaign performance helps you determine which tactics are working
Large images slow down your site, so you need to make image file sizes as small as possible. It's psychological; our brains love lists. If you create some cool list, there is a big chance that people will click on it and later share it. Even though Google search is not the be all and end all to business, having a site that ranks well for commonly searched for key terms helps greatly. I'm sure you already have some assumptions regarding your target audience's needs and problems. You also have some tips on who they are and what demographic they fall into. Search is clearly becoming a more ubiquitous behavior among Internet users that drives navigation not only directly from search engines but also within sites and across networks.
SEO for Raw Traffic
Content marketing is now part of a successful SEO strategy. Google has refined what it considers good content in recent years. It it now almost impossible to get away with any gimmicky content-based tactics, such as high quantity content without quality and substance. Search engines prefer those who produced the best, most valuable content, spawning the adoption of content marketing among SEOs — and content is still king today. Make sure content is not buried inside rich media (Adobe Flash Player, JavaScript, Ajax) and verify that rich media doesn't hide links from crawlers. One important fact that you need to keep in mind about backlink SEO is that it is not the number of backlinks which matters, but rather the quality of backlinks. SEO in Hornsea is here. e. If you think about things from a business perspective first, your SEO effort will be all the more effective. Remember: Google wants to see that people are spending time on your website and the best way you can ensure this happens is by making content that people want to read. Moreover, you need to ensure that that content is presented in a way that encourages people to stick around.
Readability and long keyphrases
Gaz Hall, a Freelance SEO Consultant from SEO Hull, commented: "When you've selected your focus keyword, ensure it is found in your title tag, h1 tag, meta description, article text and make sure that relevant keywords are also be found throughout the content as well as h2 tags." Do your maths - its one of the primary resources for this sort of thing. Its as simple as KS2 Maths. Really! In social search, content that has a social connection to you in some way is prioritized. A social connection could mean someone you are linked to via Facebook, Twitter, or any other major social network. Only link to pages on other websites that you think your visitors would find helpful, valuable and/or interesting. Most people simply ignore this part as not important – please don't do the same. Remember the following two sayings: "Show me your friends and I'll tell you who you are" and "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." To optimize your keyword research for local SEO, brainstorm keywords or phrases with a geo-modifier that customers might use when searching for a business like yours. Google doesn 't want a website owner to be able to artificially climb its SERPs. Rather, Google wants websites to climb the ranks only when they are genuinely valuable and popular with the audience. It wants to see natural, organic links that you haven't paid for and it wants to see deep, relevant and interesting content.
How are you supposed to do it?
Although you may outsource some of the work, SEO is still your primary job as a site owner. This means you will have to oversee the process, as tedious as it may seem at times. You cannot let the little details slip by you. One wrong keyword or a broken link today could lead to a poorly ranked site tomorrow. So be sure to stay on top of things and micromanage your site. If you want your website to rank well and stay penalty-free, building new links is not enough. You need to take care of your backlink profile and disavow all the spammy links. Stuffevery blank space in the digital world with tons of unsaturated- keywords-loaded-irrelevant or relevant content and you get a backdoor entry straight to the destination, this was the story a couple of years back, now it has changed. Now you have nothing but just good content to prove your brands worth to the search engine. A number of challenges have to be successfully passed in order to create a successful multilingual site that ranks well with Google. The best way to build links is to not build links. I've worked for companies in the past that don't have to ask for them, they just flow in from press, customer blogs, their awesome blog posts, etc. If this is an option (and we'll go over a couple of ways to make it more likely) you're in a great place.
Decrease your landing page loading time
Reciprocal linking; again, it's against Google's guidelines to excessively link your site with others that then link back to you. This cross-linking is wrong; Google likes everything to appear natural and random. Historically, traffic from search engines has been about a very singular pursuit -- that of rankings. Controlling most of the navigation from page to page on your site through text links makes it easier for search engines to crawl and understand your site. Many users also prefer this over other approaches, especially on some devices that might not handle Flash or JavaScript. For brands that can't afford a full-service SEO agency, the mention of the word "link building" is enough to make them flinch. Linking out is huge. Don't be a link hoard; you're going to create content, so use it to gain favor with other people. I'll go more into depth below with specific tactics on linking out, but in general, you only have something to gain when you're linking out.

Linkage 9/24: Choking, Mad Scientists, & Relativity at Home
In 1994, Italy's Roberto Baggio was widely considered to be the best soccer player in the world. Having led his country to the final of the World Cup, played before over 100,000 people in the Rose Bowl, Baggio was the obvious choice to take his team's critical fifth penalty shot in the shootout that would determine the championship. All he had to do was kick the ball past the goalkeeper from 12 yards away, something a star such as Baggio could probably do in his sleep. But at the biggest moment on the biggest stage in world sports, he flubbed it, skying his penalty shot over the crossbar and giving Brazil the World Cup.
Sportswriters and fans love to label such failures as abstract incidents of "choking," and worse, often use them as evidence of an athlete's lack of character and resolve. But research from the lab of Sian Beilock, associate professor of psychology at the University of Chicago, has found that choking actually results from information overload in the brain, with active thought overwhelming the more reflexive working memory. That research is the centerpiece of her new book, called Choke: What the Secrets of the Brain Reveal About Getting it Right When You Have To, released just this week.
ScienceLife has written about Beilock's research in the past, when her laboratory looked at how hockey players' brains process active language differently from non-athletes. But Beilock hasn't restricted herself to the NHL; she's also invited golfers into the lab for putting experiments and tested how the attitudes of female teachers toward math affects the performance of their female students. Taken together, her work is less about the sports fans' concept of "choking" and more about how external and internal factors keep the brain from performing optimally, knowledge that you don't have to be a world-class soccer player to use.
Coverage of the book has run this week at Time, US News & World Report, and NPR.
An experiment published in Science this week demonstrates a central tenet of Einstein's theory of relativity, by showing that a clock on the floor runs slightly slower than a clock one meter above it. Wired and Discover both offer blogs explaining why that's important for everything from clock calibration to air travel. Quote the paper's first author in Wired: "It's interesting to think about – are frequent flyers getting younger [because they move so much] or aging faster [because they spend so much time in the air]?"
How has mad scientist research changed over the years? Gawker blog io9 made a graph.
The MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics at the University of Chicago is oldest such program in the United States, has trained scores of physicians in ethical matters, and administers an excellent seminar series that has provided ample material for this here blog. Mark Siegler, the center's first and so far only director, will receive a lifetime achievement award next month from the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities.

This patent application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/081,285 filed on Jul. 16, 2008, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to web based multimedia systems and more particularly to web based collaborative event planning and hosting an event that includes multimedia playlists, food and other items. Additionally, the system is applicable to web based collaborative multimedia playlist creation and play management for small, medium and large establishments that interacts with their patrons on an ongoing basis. Additionally, the system is applicable to personal web based multi media systems that can be accessed anytime anywhere.
2. Background of the Invention
The World Wide Web has changed the way that people interact with each other and organize their personal information. Wireless devices with their infrastructure and connectivity to the World Wide Web have allowed people to manage information and communicate anytime from anywhere with the rest of the members of society. People use web enabled devices to search for information and use the connectivity tools and applications to improve their quality of life and their day to day productivity. Some of the more prominent companies like Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Myspace, Youtube, Twitter and others have created new ways to search for information, communicate with peer groups and publish personal information to be shared with their friends and family members. Wireless devices make extensive use of SMS (short messaging system) as well as MMS (multimedia messaging system) and World Wide Web based tools to communicate with their friends and family members. Great advances will be made in the coming years to make these devices user friendly and more interactive.
Human society uses a considerable amount of their time to have regular get together(s) and social interactions for various occasions. These occasions are varied from celebrating special events in someone's life, achievements of certain individuals or groups and they require extensive planning, coordinating, and finally arranging for all the various items to be delivered for the guests to enjoy the event. Most of this event planning is done by the host or hired professionals who use various methods from paper or computer excel spreadsheets to arrange details of the event. They use telephone, email, SMS messaging system to inform their guests of the event e.g. location, occasion, theme, place, and time of the event etc. Much of this work is very time consuming for the host or organizer and mistakes and anxiety are prone to occur.
In recent years web based invitation systems have been offered by various companies. One such company is "Evite" and they offer a friendly web based system that allows the host to send an electronic invitation for a party to the guests and receive the guest response if they plan to attend the event. However, most of the events revolve around music, video (multimedia) and food. The host would love to create an exciting event which would allow the guests to experience a sense of belonging and involvement, by sharing their choices regarding music, videos, food so they can be attached to the event emotionally. Prior electronic invitation systems do not allow an interactive collaboration between host and guests. In particular, the host and guests are not able to search, interact and collaborate to construct a master multi media play list that can then be used to create a multimedia jukebox which can be played by the host or organizer at the event. Similarly, current systems do not allow collaboration with the guests to finalize food menu and assignments to various members invited to the event.
The last few years have seen a proliferation of personal multimedia devices with self contained memory for multimedia content to be played by the user anytime anywhere. Some of the products are offered by companies like Apple, Samsung, Sandisk and others. Additionally, the internet availability allows these web enabled devices to play multitude of multimedia content from companies like Youtube, MTV and other entertainment and news broadcasting companies. However, a web based personalized mobile system to organize the multimedia content in distinct categories to avoid carrying of multiple devices has not been described and offered up to now.
What is needed is an easy to use web central server based personal web based secure server based system that allows a user to search, select, organize, and update multimedia content that can be later accessed to be played from anytime anywhere on any multimedia enabled devices, without the need of dedicated expensive storage for this multimedia content.
Another area of social interaction in our society happens at small to large establishments that provide multimedia entertainment at their locations. Visitors are offered predetermined multimedia entertainment. What are needed are a more interactive and collaborative multimedia entertainment systems to deeply engage the visitors.
The current invention describes an easy to use web enabled interactive response system where the host can collaborate to search, preview, create a multimedia playlist for the event, and finally create a rank ordered multimedia juke box to play this multi media playlist for everyone's entertainment.
Another unique description of the collaborative system is to be able to create a secure intra group instant communication platform, for one or more unique events. Similarly, the current invention describes an interactive web based response system that allows the host and invitees to interact, collaborate and finalize the food menu to be served and assign the invitees of their portions of the food menu. The system makes it very simple for the host and invitees to see the final list and who is bringing what to avoid last minute confusion. These and other features for the current invention of web based collaborative creation/response system for event planning will be described in more detail in later sections.
Another unique description of the collaborative system is to be able for the small, medium and large institutions to collaborate with their patrons to offer a much more engaging multimedia entertainment of their choice. The patrons interact with the web based system to enter their multimedia choices for certain dates and time. The owner of these establishments use these requests to create rank ordered multimedia playlists with requesters names, that is then played using web enabled multimedia playback devices. This allows a new level of engaging entertainment and patron loyalty.
The foregoing has outlined, rather broadly, the preferred feature of the present invention so that those skilled in the art may better understand the detailed description of the invention that follows. Additional features of the invention will be described hereinafter that form the subject of the claims of the invention. Those skilled in the art should appreciate that they can readily use the disclosed conception and specific embodiment as a basis for designing or modifying other structures for carrying out the same purposes of the present invention and that such other structures do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention in its broadest form.
Other aspects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become more fully apparent from the following detailed description, the appended claim, and the accompanying drawings.

Using the World Wide Web communication between personal computers, home entertainment devices, and hand held devices such as phones; a new interactive and collaborative system to securely organize and host fun and exciting events is described. The host/organizer and the guests/invitees interactively collaborate instantly anytime from anywhere using internet access, to plan a party or an event with instant feedback from invitees. The system allows the guests to solicit instant feedback from the invitees for entertainment activities such as music, videos, food and others. The host is able to create/play multimedia clips (audio & video), serve food and other entertainment to the groups liking at the event thereby creating a sense of greater involvement from the invitees to make the event more fun and exciting.
The system allows a host to create an event with relevant information regarding the event, create an invitee list, create their own personal rolodex for future usage, and send an electronic invite to all the guests informing them of the event and requesting them to add their requests of multimedia playlists, food choices, to be included/served at the event. The system is flexible that allows a creation of a dedicated communication module within the members of the newly created group to instantly chat and share information pertaining to the event, and be able to create excitement and fun for a true social interaction.
The host and guests use an easy to use multimedia search capability. The users preview and then select one or multiple multimedia songs and clips, add messages/dedication to be shared with the group. The host is able to author/create a multimedia jukebox. The system enables the host to finalize the multimedia list, rank order and preview/create a jukebox. The host then invokes the web enabled jukebox to stream/play the multimedia clips using any audio/video equipment to be enjoyed by the group. The host can also send the finalized multimedia list to a professional DJ to play the multi media clips selected by guests prior to the event.
This collaborative system allows the host to coordinate food dishes to be served at the event and solicit feedback from guests. The system is also able to create a food menu, and coordinate a potluck or shared food event for the guests to pick their own dishes/drinks with quantities to avoid confusion and reduce time to coordinate an event.
The system allows an easy way for host and invitees to upload multimedia clips shot at the event to be shared by all the members after the event is concluded.
Another method for the collaborative system that is described is to be used by small, medium and big establishments, who can now interact with their patrons for creating a collaborative multimedia playlist for certain days and time, author/create a collaborative multimedia jukebox. The system allows for creating special multimedia events and links to individual websites for creation of collaborative multimedia events.
The system allows users to create their own personal directory of multimedia clips (audio and video) that can be accessed and played anytime anywhere on any device that has web access and capable to play multimedia clips, thus avoiding any need for dedicated multimedia devices.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a flow chart of a novel web based collaborative multimedia content deployment system. FIG. 1 shows the schematic for the various functional modules that are connected via the internet backbone (103) and clearly shows the preferred embodiment of the current invention, where the host (104) and guests (108) are capable to interact and collaborate to create a multimedia list (105), that is converted to a multimedia jukebox (106), and then shared using multimedia enabled devices during the event (107).
The application server hosts the main application (101) that is secure and is available to be accessed by users, using web connected devices such as personal computers, hand held computers, multimedia entertainment consoles, and mobile phones etc. User database (102) is used to store user names and passwords for various users, and is secured using the state of art encryption technology to avoid inadvertent access to private data. The guests interact and collaborate via the web based interactive module (109, 110) to help the host create a collaborative multimedia playlist or a food menu. The guests can also preview the multimedia playlist through a web enabled multimedia devices (111).
FIGS. 2-16 show a preferred embodiment of the current web based collaborative multimedia invention for the host to plan an event using an interactive module. This interactive module contains preferred ways tor the guest and host to communicate their choices, chat instantly over the internet that is shared by the entire subgroup anytime, anywhere. FIGS. 2-9 show a novel collaboration module for the host to interact over the internet with the guests, to create multimedia playlist or food menu that becomes an essential part of entertaining for the planned event. Another unique module of this invention is for the host to author (create, add, delete, rank order, dedication) a multimedia jukebox based on the feedback from the guests when creating the multimedia list. The multimedia content of the customized jukebox is then streamed live using the web based application server and subsequently shared with the guests at the event using a web enabled multimedia devices. FIG. 10-16 also shows the Invitee(s) interactive response module that contains ways for the invitees to view the invitation to the event and its details. The invitees are allowed to communicate with the host instantly over the internet. The guests can chat and also post messages to be shared with the rest of the members of the group. FIGS. 10-16 also shows a unique multimedia search/selection module that consists of allowing the guests to search multimedia content and them select one or multiple requests along with a dedication for the event for the host's consideration. Once the guests add the request for one of multiple clips, these are made visible for the entire group for easy collaboration. Similarly, the guests are allowed to collaborate to finalize the food menu for the event through this module.
FIG. 2 illustrates the design flow for the host module for the web based collaborative multimedia system (200). The host (201) will start by creating a new event (202). The host can then enter the details of the event (203) such as event title, place, time, contact etc. (204). Some of these fields are clearly denoted as mandatory fields (205) for the database to uniquely identify the event.
The system allows the host to update the information if there are any changes to the event details (206). The host can keep and then send the information to the internet based central secure database (207). The host invokes the guest management module (208). The host can enter the guest contact information (209) directly into the easy to use table or import the contact information from a variety of other web based address books such as Google, Hotmail, MSN, Yahoo and others (210).
The host can also specify if one or more guests are allowed access to interact with the rest of the group members (211). The host and guests interact via the interactive response module (212) to accept, decline, or undecided the invitation. The guest can post messages that are shared with other members of the group. The next utility called as multimedia list collaboration (213) describes another embodiment of this invention.
The host starts with searching multimedia content using a multimedia search engine (214). The host can choose to preview one or more items in the search list, add one or more items to the starter multimedia list (215). The host adds his/her own comments to one or more items and this starter multimedia list is instantly made visible to the guests (216). The guests also add their requests along with their dedication via the guest module described later. As the event date comes closer, the host uses yet another novel embodiment of this invention to be able to create a multimedia jukebox (217) that uses all the feedback and requests from the guests.
The host can preview the requested songs, delete, rank order the items on the finalized list for the final multimedia jukebox stored on the web based server to be shared with the guests at the event. At the event the web enabled multimedia devices are used to stream the multimedia content of the jukebox over the internet (218) and played via multimedia enabled devices (219). After the host has set up the event, created a starter multimedia list, the next step is to send the invitation (220) over the internet to all the guests (221) letting them know of the event as well as the new unique capability for them to collaborate to create a multimedia list for the upcoming event (222). The invitation messages and the response are instantly shared with all the guests for them to start interacting immediately from anywhere, anytime using mobile instant messaging module (223).
Another novel embodiment of the current invention is for the host and guest to invoke a novel instant chat utility to follow the discussion regarding that particular event with other members of the group event (224). Blocks (225-233) are ways to manage current and expired events to create event triggers for upcoming event and to share memories of an expired event.
FIG. 3 shows Host use interface for Creating Even Information. In FIG. 3, block (300), the host creates an event and all the related information regarding the event including mandatory fields (303). The host is able to upload a custom multimedia clip (301) to personalize the event. The multimedia clip that is uploaded is displayed for preview (302) and shared with the guests.
FIG. 4 shows block 400 for the host to create the guest list. The system keeps an automatic track of the number of guests attending and their status (401) and is instantly updated with most current data via the internet. The host can import the contacts of the guests through various means that includes contact data bases such as GMAIL, MSN, etc., previously organized events (402). The host is allowed to add one or more guests via a simple to use interactive dialog box (404). Once entered the complete table is displayed (403) for host to view guest list, status of the guests, and instant messages from the guests.
FIG. 5 shows one of the preferred embodiments for the host user interface for the interactive web based collaborative multimedia playlist creation (500). The host is presented with a multimedia search engine dialog box. The host can invoke the web based search for a variety of multimedia content (501). The host can then preview, add one or more items to the started multimedia playlist (502). The host can also add comments to be shared with other guests (502). The host can then save the changes and also export the multimedia playlist (503). After the host receives all the requests from the guests the host can rank order the playlist. A novel way is described to use automatic dynamic rank ordering system for the host to quickly assemble the final multimedia playlist. The hosts can simply check mark the multimedia content that is included in the final multimedia jukebox. The host can also rank order one or more items on the selected multi media list to clearly indicate the play sequence of the multimedia content at the event by the host or other organizers of an event on their behalf. Once satisfied, the host can now create a multimedia jukebox (503). Another novel embodiment of this invention is to allow the host to create personal folders on the web based secure folders (504-507) in which the users can create their own multimedia content library for future reference and usage. If the user chooses multimedia content from a previous folder it is indicated clearly the location of the multimedia content library folder (507). As mentioned before in the design flow and now shown here clearly the novel embodiment of this invention is a very easy way for the host to view all the multimedia play requests as well as their personal dedication or messages from the invited guests, and then to start finalizing the multimedia playlist for the event.
FIG. 6 shows the multimedia search results (601) during the creation of collaborative playlists (600). The host can then select from the various choices as shown in FIG. 6 returned from the search. The hosts can simply check mark the multimedia content that is included in the final multimedia jukebox.
FIG. 7 shows the multimedia jukebox 700 that contains the rank ordered multimedia content previously described. The multimedia content is streamed live over the internet from the web based secure server and can be played on one or more multimedia enabled device platforms for either small groups or larger groups. Another novel embodiment of this invention is the flexibility of the web based collaborative system to update the multimedia playlist for instant requests that can be included instantly in the multimedia jukebox.
FIG. 8 shows one of the preferred embodiments of the web based invitation module (800). The host is able to track the invitation history. A unique method shows a way for the host to see if the guests have viewed their invitation (801). The host can send updated messages to selected guests (802-803).
FIG. 9 shows a unique way for the members of the event to communicate within the group instantly (900). The host and guests can compose short messages and send them instantly over the internet (902). The messages from all the members are displayed (903) instantly for creating a fun and excitement regarding the event for enhanced experience in social networking. The gust status is also constantly updated and displayed (901) for most current information regarding the guests.
FIG. 10 shows the design flow for the guest module (1000) for the web based collaborative multimedia module described in FIG. 1 above. The main embodiment of this invention is to allow the guests to collaborate (1010) with the host to provide individual requests (1011-1013) that can be part of the multimedia jukebox to be shared at the event. The guest is able to view the multimedia master list started by the host and requests from other guests with their dedication. This is continuously updated as changes are made to the list. One or more guests invoke the search engine for multimedia content search (1011), previews and select one or multiple items from the list, and submit the requests to be added to the master list. The guest also adds personal messages for individual items that have been selected. Another embodiment of the guest module is to be able to instantly communicate/respond via the guest response module (1005). The guest can accept, decline or not decide to attend the event.

Nine is the final and wrap-up chapter of Jacobs' book. It does not present new information and I will use this post to summarize my ideas about this book.
First, what is the contribution of Neuro-science? I believe that neuroscience and fMRI studies are very important, especially going forward, but at this point they seem to be insufficient in themselves. We still need to understand and interpret the data and that depends on psychology more generally. Jacobs' suggestions are very interesting, and management could certainly benefit from a stronger connection to the insights of other social sciences, it is just that his positions could be better supported by the findings outside neuroscience. In a future post I will look at the social nature of learning, working, and the artifacts that we use to make sense of organizations. I think this can not only support Jacobs position, but may be able to extend them further.
What are the primary insights that I have gained from this book?
- The mind works holistically. Don't be ruled by emotion, but logical mind sets that discount emotion can cloud important insights. When logical thinking discounts emotions and the holistic nature of the mind, it is constraining decisions not making them better.
- Higher mental functions like stories, paradigms, metaphors or theories can focus and enable thinking skills in a way that honors the minds holistic nature.
- Relationships are complex and understanding that people are active thinkers with minds of their own is a much more functional method of management. Treating people and organizations as mindless machines is counterproductive. Jacobs makes the mind (behaviorism's epi-phonemena) central in management.
- Instead of relying solely on managers abilities, avail yourself of employees mental capabilities. Be like Socrates: ask don't tell, ask for objectives, for reviews of their work, for their ideas about support needs.

Better Call Saul's Bob Odenkirk on Revisiting Cinnabon Manager 'Gene'
SPOILER ALERT: Stop reading if you have not yet seen Better Call Saul's Season 2 premiere!
AMC's Better Call Saul returned for its second season on Monday night to continue the evolution of small-time lawyer Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) into his Breaking Bad alter ego, slippery defense attorney Saul Goodman. But the premiere also included a new look at Saul's post-Breaking Bad life as Gene, the Omaha-based Cinnabon manager.
Life for Gene is anything but sweet. After taking out the restaurant's daily trash, he locked himself in the dumpster room and did not want to risk setting off the emergency exit alarm to alert the police. Instead, he waited for hours until another member of the cleaning staff was able to let him out, but not before carving "SG Was Here" into the wall of the room.
"I feel terrible," Odenkirk says of Jimmy/Saul's new position in life. "He's a little bit shell-shocked at that moment. He's a guy who made a run and who really thought he'd figured things out. Saul Goodman was the answer that he settled upon, and then that didn't work out. That really leaves him with nothing. I think we need to see what happens to this guy."
Odenkirk admits he was also surprised by the direction of Better Call Saul's Season 2 premiere, which saw Jimmy initially reject a job offer at a large Santa Fe law firm, but change his mind and accept the job in the episode's final minutes. "But that's the way of it with [creators] Peter [Gould] and Vince [Gilligan]," Odenkirk says. "The audience is continually lulled into expecting conventional progress of the story, and then is always surprised by the choices those guys make. These guys look at the characters' conflicted natures for the future of the story, and the choices they make make sense."
Better Call Saul airs Mondays at 10/9c on AMC.

Sometimes you get what you deserve in sport. With an hour gone on an angsty night at Old Trafford, with Manchester United fumbling vaguely in front of the Sevilla defence like a man struggling in the wee hours for his door key, José Mourinho decided, what the hell, and brought on Paul Pogba for Marouane Fellaini.
Old Trafford roared itself out of its slumbers as Mourinho's most compelling midfield presence made a belated entrance. And yet half an hour later Manchester United had exited the Champions League without having at any stage made any obvious attempts to stay in it.
They did so in limp fashion, outmanoeuvred by a wonderful midfield stylist in Éver Banega, who played United off their own pitch while barely seeming to break a sweat.
There will be blame-shifting, even the pretence that United were simply unlucky, with nothing in their gameplan that requires any major revision. But this was a depressingly craven defeat for the three-time champions of Europe, a team that have had £300m spent on them in the last two seasons, and who lined up in a must-win game with an invention-free flat midfield pegged out around the spoiling qualities of Fellaini and Nemanja Matic.
All tactical preferences aside, it is hard not to conclude that this United team are better than that; they have more invention, more drive, more joy in their football than they were allowed to show over 180 guileless minutes. It should be a source of embarrassment that they looked so laboured, cocooned within the manager's enduring defensive rage against the fifth best team in Spain.
It is hard to determine these days exactly what drives Mourinho's manic caution, that strangely compelling desire to pre-throttle his own team, insisting only on victories that involve stifling defence. There is a theory Mourinho has backed himself into a tactical corner, so profound is his enduring dislike of the Barcelona-centred school that he insists the game be played the other way.
For Mourinho nothing has ever quite matched his defining victory in this competition eight years ago, a game at Camp Nou in which his Internazionale team overcame Pep Guardiola's peak Barcelona playing the opposite of-possession football, kicking the ball away, defending in a deep double-bolt, bending the basic notion of what football can be to Mourinho's annihilating will.
This, though, was Sevilla at home, the kind of occasion this grand old club likes to suck the sweetness from. No matter what stage of the season there is a simple formal beauty to the sight of United's red shirts lining up under the harsh flat white lights of that craning corrugated roof.
And yet for most of the opening hour it was the visitors who played with guile and drive and who possessed in Banega the most impressive midfield presence on the pitch. Time and again, as United fought and leapt, Banega could be seen tiptoeing through the trees, a genuinely high-calibre ball-player, capped 59 times by Argentina and startlingly calm in the middle of that midfield forest.
There is a point to this. Banega is also exactly what United do not have, an element beyond the strangulating Mourinho blueprint, trusted to purr about the pitch seeking the right place to deploy his velvet-pawed touch. Banega might not sprint or leap well at set pieces. But here he ran the game by stealth, an ambling brain in bright orange boots, funnelling possession into difficult areas and digging his fingernails into the back of United's midfield.
By the end Banega had had more touches than any other player and completed more passes than anyone else. More tellingly, he had given the home crowd a glimpse of the assertive ball-playing control so many of their own best midfielders have been allowed to show down the years, coming on like a late-career Scholes or a more mobile Carrick in those deeper positions.
Either side of which the game congealed in that familiar fashion, Once, and once only, Fellaini found himself in space in a forward position, taking a return pass from Jesse Lingard and hammering a shot in the general direction of Sergio Rico's goal with all the refined finishing instinct of a man punting a medicine ball through a swamp.
Sevilla's opening goal arrived on 75 minutes. Banega played the ball forward, it was funnelled on by Pablo Sarabia and Wissam Ben Yedder finished calmly. Mourinho capered with demented urgency on the touchline. Moments later he sent on Juan Mata to turn a game he might have been able to define, just as Ben Yedder got Sevilla's second.
Defeat in the last 16, with two seasons spent creating this gristly blob of a team, will leave a lengthy period of reflection to the season's end, with the shadow of United's city rivals ever more distracting. Mourinho could do worse than react with a little fire, a little anger, even a little adventure.

TypeCeiling Medallion
Inside DiameterCanopy Max: 5-1/4"
Inside Hole4-1/8"
The MD-7047 Ceiling Medallion is 23-1/2" in diameter and has a depth of 2-1/8".
Ceiling medallions are the perfect finishing touch for your interior design project. Use them to add luxury and charm to a ceiling fan or light fixture, or get creative and try them on walls for a pleasing, modern look that will impress all of your guests! Their innovative and lightweight design makes it easy to mount them to vertical surfaces.
Some of our medallions come with pre-cut holes, while others do not. If you need a hole in your medallion to install with a fixture or fan, we'd be more than happy to drill it for you -- just select that option before adding the medallion to checkout. Or, if you'd prefer, you may drill the hole yourself. Polyurethane is durable and easy to work with, and you only need a hole large enough for the wiring of your fixture to fit through.
Installing Without Damaging the Finish
We recommend using a generous amount of construction adhesive during installation and holding the medallion in place, momentarily, while the adhesive takes effect. Then, you can use low-tack painter's tape to continue holding the medallion in place while the adhesive dries.
Installation With a Fixture
If you are installing the medallion with a ceiling fan, chandelier, or light, make sure the power is shut off at the breaker before attempting installation. Turning off the light switch only WILL NOT prevent you from being shocked. If you have any doubts or need further assistance, please consult an electrician. You may need longer bolts or a longer threaded tube than came with your fixture to accommodate the thickness of the medallion. You can get these at most local home improvement stores.

Contact: uDecor, Inc. • 2510 Stanley Gault Parkway • Louisville, KY. 40223 • 877-550-0600 • www.uDecor.com
At uDecor, Inc., we know that projects take a while, and sometimes plans change. That's why, in most cases, we give our customers a 90 day grace period to return products. The products must be unused/new and in their original boxes.
We are unable to replace items that have been modified or installed, so please review all the contents of your shipment for damage and to verify that the items received are correct. Damaged items or items shipped in error that are not modified will be replaced promptly.
Unqualified Products
Custom products do not qualify for a refund if returned. Custom products include, but are not limited to, the Imagination Series, Leather & Wood Tiles, and Custom Tile categories.
Partial Returns of Items with Quantity Discounts
In the event that a uDecor, Inc. order qualified for and received a quantity discount, special consideration must be taken when accepting a partial return of the specific product that qualified for the quantity discount. If a customer's request to return a specific amount of product breaks the initial quantity required to qualify for a discount, it is possible that the customer will not receive a refund for the returned items to uDecor, Inc.. This is because we have extended a generous discount for a bulk buy, which may no longer applicable if a portion of the product is returned.
A refund involving an order that included a quantity discount can be examined in the following example:
Bill purchased 400 of a particular ceiling tile which cost $ 4.25 per tile (a $ 0.74/tile discount when purchasing 400 or more). His order also qualified for free shipping and he was not subject to sales tax. The order total was $ 1700.00.
After Bill finished his project, he decided that he did not need 30 of his tiles, and he wishes to return them. We must treat Bill's order as if he originally purchased 370 ceiling tiles, which means he would have not qualified for the $ 0.74 per tile quantity discount. If Bill had only purchased 370 tiles, the tiles would have cost $ 4.99 per tile and his order total would have been $ 1846.30.
In this particular case, Bill's new order total ($ 1,846.30) would actually be more than what he originally paid ($ 1,700.00). While we wouldn't charge Bill the difference when returning the tiles, we also would not be able to provide any refund. It would be better for Bill to keep the tiles and save on the return shipping.
When and how will a customer be refunded?
If products are returned within 90 days of the purchase, the customer's credit card will be refunded electronically. If products are returned toward the end of the 90 day period, and the refund does not take effect within 90 days of the purchase date, the refund will be issued by check and sent by USPS. Returns may take up to 2 weeks to be processed.
Packaging Items for their Return
Please be careful when packaging items for returns. You will be responsible for damage incurred during shipping, so please package the items accordingly. Retain the paper work that the shipping company gives you, especially the tracking number. Remember, you will be responsible for the items until we receive them.

We are the attackers taking the guts out of a woman. We are the Rapists born to rape.
"I would have burned my daughter alive if she was having premarital sex and moving around at night with her boyfriend", said lawyer AP Singh referring to Nirbhaya.
Slow Clap for this lawyer who was given 3 weeks to escape by the government of India. While most of us would be reading this statement in disgust, we would like to disappoint you by informing that most of you out there are rapists. The conventions, beliefs and traditions have emerged victorious in being hegemonic for our psyche and have turned most of us into big hypocrites! We are the ruthless beings allowed, trained and meant to dehumanize all the marginalized, then push them to the borders, smash their heads against the walls and make them cry for giving them something which is even worse than death. We are the attackers taking the guts out of a woman. We are the rapists who are born to rape.
A Bus. Some horny men in India. A man and a lady 'In solitude'. The assault happens and the Rape is executed!
Nirbhaya case is something we all have known about. We all realize that the attackers were grim and broke the general public and the lady living in that society into pieces. The entire society siezed this one incidence and recalled Nirbhaya for her frightful reality of being a woman who was dehumanized.
Things being what they are, what's the brain science behind a man being an attacker? While the majority of us claim that attackers are cruel people and have a sick personality, what we have to reexamine is who is an attacker and what makes an attacker. It's not only a man assaulting somebody; its the entire society that is in charge of their sexual heresy.
You, out there, yes – YOU. MAN, WOMEN, YOUNG, OLD, MIDDLE CLASS, UPPER CLASS, POOR, INTELLECTUAL, LOAFER, MANAGER, BOSS, EMPLOYEE, MOTHER, FATHER – YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE AND A RAPIST. The main contrast between the one in prison and you is, that your reasoning prompted his incredible idea of stripping a lady, assaulting her, inserting his penis and afterward poles and sticks into her vagina until she is tore separated – her areolas turned sore, her vagina broken into fragments and her rear end part into pieces. She is currently a creature to be eaten like whatever other leg piece. Barbarians are wonderful, Cannibals are so in. So, let us receive this and make it the new 'cool'.
The Rapist is indeed the casualty of the whole society's satisfying craving to sexually and mentally assault a woman who is the "other". This antagonistic brain science has been engraved in our exceptional soul and afterwards we expect the individual standing directly before a prey, not to feed upon him/her. It's not about the psychology of assault or the psychology of an attacker or a rapist– IT IS ABOUT THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE SOCIETY. Everytime a lady gets assaulted in India, all we do is "Dissent or Protest" and put the photo of something as our whatsapp dp, yet never 'ACT'.
Here are some mental issues that are in charge of a man conferring a sexual assault:
1. Culture and Conditioning: A kid, since adolescence is given a ninja to play with while a girl is given a Barbie doll. We have installed in the very psyche of a boy not to cry and 'Take care of the business'. A young lady then again is advised to attend and care for her Barbie, then her spouse, then her child and ofcourse her in laws. The conventions of the society characterizes a lady to be meek and a man to be the controller. The dialect is phallocentric and consequently we say – "MANkind" and "HIStory" – Why not a word that considers both the genders as equivalents?
Every society has its own generalizations. The rich Indians long to westernize themselves – wear shirt and trousers, partying hard, drink, smoke, , believe in live-in and some even yearn to flaunt their parts whenever necessary, thus going nude.But What happens when they have this desire to assault? The Indians then overlook the entire idea of the western standards and begin regarding a woman as an object of longing, get exposed, strip them off and assault her and slaughter her spirit. Tune in, You post-colonial cross breeds, quit being fraudulent and hypocrites! Utilize your brain, don't get in the trap of traditions.
2. Horrifying Pornography: Pornography is not an ethical issue but rather a political one. It is critical to note that female porn offers more than men in light of the fact that its a patriarchal business. The women are dehumanized and indicated in porn motion pictures in a manner which portrays that they need to get assaulted and raped. The female is indicated to rely on upon the men and the man has got the balls and the freedom to push and insert his full hand, phallus and what not inside the vagina and the anus. Explicit entertainment further makes a division of good/terrible women both inside the room on the bed and outside. Ann Garry clarifies this in the article named –'Sex lies and Pornography'.
3. Unemployment in India : There are numerous individuals out there in our nation who are given cash through different plans and projects. The poor enjoys sex, build their family, and send all the kids to the school – That's not for training or education but rather just to get cash. The fathers gets the money, eats, drinks, smokes and after that get to be the rapist. How Cool! Congrats Indian government – You lost the game. At the point when individuals won't be occupied and employed and will get monetary benefits for nothing, what else you anticipate? The individuals and the administration ought to cooperate for channelizing the vitality of a person into something productive. They ought to concentrate on business and not get to be givers just to win a bleeding race- the elections. Power surely corrupts them.
4. Public Display of Affection(PDA)
People need to take part in PDA. Go to Lodhi Garden and Safdarjung Tomb in Delhi, or whatever other DTC transport or ANYWHERE. You will see girls and boys engaged in PDA. You say that the rapists can't control their desire because of their diseased mind. Can the gentlemen and even young ladies control their desire and get a room? If you don't mind Why do you wish to demonstrate your fondness like a pooch on boulevards and turn into the focal point of fascination and the reason for erections? Why?
5. Men and Women – Please figure out how to control your brain and get over yourself.
At the point when a man rapes, his psychology is an aftereffect of the general public and society which holds the above traditions and conventions of being prudish in case of women and 'being a man' in case of a man and being a beggar or a useless person in case of LGBT. We get it that the entire society is an attacker, however people ought to figure out how to be a superior human by taking a gander at a young lady's eyes and not bosoms. Kindly don't dehumanize the young ladies. They are full humans and not just boobs, ass and vagina.
Now, Our dear Young ladies. We get it that every one of you are not the same. You have to comprehend that same is the situation for gentlemen. A man and a lady get sloshed. The young lady displays her legs and moves to draw in the fellow. The guy begins getting closer to her and they end up making out. The young lady all of a sudden understands that she wouldn't like to have intercourse. She cannot. The gentleman ends up raping and assaulting her. We know the fellow is without a doubt at fault, be that as it may, shouldn't something be said about the young lady? We are not saying that young ladies should not wear what they want to, we are stating that a woman ought not give a lead to a gentleman who she supposes would go wild or to a stranger she has recently met.
It's dismal and a plight that young ladies need to think so much(owing to the predominance of the phallus) and this must change. But at the same time, its unfair that we accuse the male commanded world for everything. Its the general public and we ourselves who are to be faulted. Its our mind and our bloody conventions that make us shallow and small.
Men, Women and society – For the love of humankind, grow up and utilize a few brains. They have been given to you for usage. Regard, Think and figure out how to control your mind. Get over your powerless mindset that is a marionette in the hands of the rapist psychology.
God favor every one of you with a third eye. Not to assault or rape further, but rather to utilize your mind. Government of India- Please do likewise. There ought to be a law to spread awareness and to mutilate the attacker – in that spot and afterward so they get the chance to feel the rods in their essentials and vital parts. Castration is the only means and punishment for them.

Radix SortOn
In this post here, I presented a fast sorting function based on radix algorithm. Today, lets make the code a bit more useful by rewriting it to sort an array of objects, with a "key" string to access our sorting key. The desired API: static public function RadixSorOn(iarray:Vector.<Object> , sorted:Vector.<Object> , key:String):void As seen when […]~ read more ~
More On Radix and FlashSort
Let's see how well our FlashSort and RadixSort functions are performing under specific conditions: * when the keys in the array are uniques : ex:[9 7 8 1 3 2 5 6 4 7 8] * when the array is already sorted ex:[ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9] * when the […]~ read more ~
Sort, faster than FlashSort, Radix !
In a previous post, I presented a very efficient sorting function based on flashsort ("http://guihaire.com/code/?p=552) Can we go faster than that ?

To remove car oil stains on your driveway or on the floor of your garage, spray foam oven cleaner, leave on for about 10 minutes, then wash with warm water and brush the stain away.

A large bottle of extra virgin olive oil broke and leaked onto the concrete floor of the garage. It dried up as we were away for almost three months. Now the stain looks like a dark stain. Any ideas how to get rid of this so people don't think there is a leak in concrete floor of garage! Many thanks.
By Parker Knox
Go to a commercial cleaning place. There is an absorbent made for concrete. You sprinkle it on and it soaks up. Make sure you get the one for grease and oil, not the water soluble one. Some auto garages use it as well.
I would try sprinkling baking soda or cornstarch to see how much gets absorbed
I have a serious question related to this topic: at what point would you consider buying professional cleaning products vs. homemade solutions for an oil spill in your driveway? I ask because a friend of mine insists that he'd rather buy SpillFix and other products I've never heard of instead of trying to use kitty litter and other homemade cleaning solutions. But then he actually works in his garage a lot. I don't. Do you guys have any thoughts about this?
By davids_benny
I would use kitty litter. I possibly would use a professional cleaner if I were trying to sell the house or going to apply a paint or treatment to the concrete. But, I have used kitty litter for years and it has always worked for us. And, it is safer for the environment as long as it is disposed of properly.
Kitty litter is only good for cleaning one thing: kitty messes. It's not designed to absorb anything else and will end up doing more harm once disposed because of this. Go for the professional items like SpillFix and MOP and look for environmentally and worker friendly ones that won't hurt the environment or your lungs when they're being used - they're worth it and are great to have on stand-by in case things like this happen.
What can I use on my driveway for removing oil and tire marks?
By Vicki from TX
To remove oil from concrete driveways:
To remove oil from blacktop driveways:
You could pressure wash your whole driveway. It does an excellent job, & wouldn't have lighter patches from spot cleaning.

|How can I get oil stains out of my driveway and garage from a car that leaked oil?
Geri from KY.
|Kitty Litter
|Get your self a bag of cheap kitty litter and pour on the stains let sit until all of the excess oil is removed, sweep up. Now if this did not remove caked on grease and oil go to your local hardware store and buy some concrete cleaner and use that. Both the Kitty Litter and concrete cleaner are pretty cheap.
|By Debra in Colorado (Guest Post)
|Dawn or Cokie
|Pour 1 large bottle of Dawn dish washing liquid on stains and evenly spread out with old broom or large wooden stick. Let stand at least 12 hours. Spray off with hose.
A friend used 3 bottles of Coke and poured them evenly over the spills. Wait for about 30 minutes and hose off. Both have worked well for us in the past. Good Luck
|By Julie (Guest Post)
|Kitty Litter
|Try Kitty litter, pour on oil, and let sit for afew hours, it should soak up the oil..then just sweep it away.
|By Annjjel in Pa. (Guest Post)
|My husband and I used to be truck drivers in the Army and we would get grease on our uniforms all of the time. We were not allowed to wear stained uniforms so we had to get the stains out. WE would wash our uniforms in Pine-Sol and it cut the grease very well. Simple Green works well too, but I hate the smell of that. ha ha But for your garage floor, I don't think the concrete will complain about the smell. ha ha
|By Tawnda (Guest Post)
|Clay Litter
|When you put the clay type kitty litter on the oil grind it into the concrete with a block of wood.
|By acraftycat (Guest Post)
My car leaked oil on the asphalt driveway and I want to know if there is a cleaner? It isn't my driveway. I rent a place.
Yes there is a cleaner. Go to Home Depot or similar and find it there, they have commercial-strength cleaners.
I have heard since the 60's, that any cheap wine does the trick. (04/07/2009)
By Eletha Cole
I work at a gas station, where we have terrible oil stains. We use a product called eximo on the concrete and it gets rid of the stain with very little effort. I've taken some home to test in my garage, and it works there too! :) It's also environmentally/people safe - which is a big deal for my work? (03/28/2007)
By cougarfan31
My homeowner's association tagged me for grease spots on the driveway. I tried many commercial driveway cleaning solutions and nothing worked better than leaving clay kitty litter on the spots for a few days. I just spread it over the spots and ground it in with my feet. To "kill two birds with one stone", you can "dance" it in, thereby losing a few pounds while you clean your driveway (so people don't think you are crazy, you may want to invite the neighbors to join you - otherwise wait till dark and then dance, dance, dance). The added benefit to the kitty litter is that it blends in with the color of the concrete, and you can leave it there till the rain washes it away!. (08/02/2007)

Last week, 5 Manual High School students from Denver, CO, along with 4 teachers, took a 10-day trip to Cambodia. The intention of the trip was for the students to visit Cambodian schools, learn about the country's rich history and people, and hopefully, expand their perspective on health and life outside of the United States. "Administrators said the teens spent almost a year learning about the country and preparing for travel before their trip. Students received a $25,000 grant from the McCracken Foundation, in memory of former Manual High School teacher, Jerry McCracken."
It just so happened that all of the students who went are FACES Denver health scholars as well!
"Traveling to Cambodia, it kind of gave me that chance to jump out of that box and realize that there's a bigger world around me," said Ashley Garcia, another junior at Manual High School.
"There are problems, and there are people in need so much more than the problems that we have right now here," Garcia said.

From photographer Joel Sartore's Biodiversity Project, a video to promote his book Rare: Portraits of America's Endangered Species, which beautifully showcases species that are in danger of disappearing in America, and some that "have come back from the brink."
Advice from Joel about helping animals? Start by:
…visiting and patronizing your local zoo. Zoos and aquariums are vitally important to conservation today. Not only do they fund and manage captive breeding programs, but they are increasingly involved in conservation of habitat in the wild. Find an accredited zoo or aquarium in your area here.
Last but not least, learn more about your favorite animal. A simple web search will likely lead you to the organizations working on its conservation. Support them. And share what you know with your friends and family. The more people who are informed and who care, the better.
There is also an amusing video from behind the scenes of his shoot:

Malik talks about his new album, his non-existent relationship with the guys of One Direction and how he gets creative.
Zayn Malik recalls the time he left One Direction.
And he's still grateful to be out of it. In a new cover story with Billboard, Malik opens up about how his former 1D bandmates treat him, not buying Made in the A.M., the sound he's aiming for on his new album and reveals several song titles.
"I guess certain phone numbers have changed and I haven't received calls from a lot of people," he says of the guys. "The truth of it is, you can think one thing about a -situation and the total opposite can happen. I had every intention of remaining friends with everybody, but I guess certain phone numbers have changed and I haven't received calls from a lot of people. I've reached out to a few of them and not got a reply. Certain people have pride issues, but it's stuff you overcome in time."
Regardless, Zayn takes the higher road. "There are no sides to pick," he says. "We're not going head-to-head."
He admits to not listening to Made in the A.M. and did not like their single "Perfect." "I'll be honest. I thought the first single was quite cool. I heard the second single and" — he screws up his face — "yeah, I didn't buy the album."
RCA Chairman/CEO Peter Edge says in the interview he feels Zayn is further along musically than Harry Styles. "It [Malik's new music] doesn't feel like choreographed pop,…It's widely rumored that Harry is working on a record….But it feels like maybe Zayn's further along, musically."
Several cuts off Malik's new record, BeFour, includes "It's You," the whip-crack snare of
"Wrong" and a song titled "She."
"I genuinely enjoyed [the band] and did whatever I could to be myself within that," Malik added, "but it's just not where I sit as a -musician," he says. "The other boys' taste was generally indie rock. It's good music, but I don't f— with it. That was never cool where I was from. We weren't allowed to say certain things, or word [lyrics] the way we would" want to, says Malik. "I'd sit and wonder, 'If the fans knew how it worked, what would they think?' My argument was: People are more intelligent than that. They want to hear what's real, so why don't we write some stuff that we're actually going through?"
Malik is Instagram official with Gigi Hadid. "I like girls that are a bit chunky in certain areas — the nice areas," he says. "I like a fuller woman. I enjoy an intellectual conversation as well, where someone can construct a sentence beyond what hair and makeup they're wearing, and talk about -something political or about the world. I like an opinion."
Malik admits to getting focused by… smoking marijuana. Well, he burns sativa (the more energizing, cerebral strain of marijuana), because it's "creative weed."

The Senate confirmed President Reagan's 11 candidates for the board of directors of the federal Legal Services Corp. after voting down Democratic objections to two of the nominees. The two were Michael B. Wallace of Mississippi, approved on a 62-34 vote, and LeaAnne Bernstein of Maryland, approved by a 58-38 margin. The 11 have been serving as interim directors of the embattled agency since Reagan chose them last year, but their confirmation has been stalled in the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee, where Democratic members have opposed Bernstein and Wallace.
