Jerky Dynasty, an online retailer of exotic and gourmet jerkies, wanted more quality links to its online store to improve search rankings, build traffic and drive sales, especially on peak periods like Father's Day. The company was already using Globe Runner to manage its search engine optimization (SEO) and pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns.
After doing thorough research, Globe Runner recommended blogger outreach, specifically focusing on male bloggers interested in outdoor recreation and hunting. All had large followings for their sites (we used a tool like SEM Rush to determine organic traffic) and social media accounts.
A list was created and Jerky Dynasty product samples were offered to bloggers on the list, some of whom company founder Chris Miller started chatting with on Twitter and Facebook. He wasn't prepared for the reaction from an unexpected audience.
"The big surprise was that it was women who loved our products," Chris recounted. The trend for fitness food, carb-free eating, and Paleo diets may have played into this. Female bloggers who reviewed Jerky Dynasty's products were also more likely than men to post their feedback on Facebook and other social media platforms while linking back to Jerky Dynasty's website.
Discovering this small but devoted niche of users allowed Jerky Dynasty to discover promotional opportunities that are sometimes missed by mainstream brands. One of these is Hunt Chat, a Facebook group of over 1,000 hunting enthusiasts, which Jerky Dynasty found through reviewers like Camo Candace, an avid hunting blogger.
Jerky Dynasty's revenues started rising around the 2014 holiday season, with significant year-on-year increases into 2015. There were significant bumps in business during December 2014 (holidays), February (Valentine's Day) and June (Father's Day) that the site's Google Analytics showed.
Jerky Dynasty's sales were so good that it was designated by Shopify, on which the store is built, as belonging to the top 4% of stores which launched around the same time on the platform.
Start early in blogger outreach
The results are not immediate when approaching bloggers. If you're looking at blogger outreach for seasonal campaigns, make sure to start activity at least six months ahead. Jerky Dynasty started their campaign well before the 2014 holiday season; and it felt the positive impact of their blogger outreach a good year after.
Pick the right bloggers
Before you even contact a single blogger, conduct thorough research to make sure that you're targeting the audience with the most potential for amplifying your message. Sometimes serendipity happens: Jerky Dynasty's master list of male outdoor recreation and hunting bloggers grew into a male and female list. Don't be afraid to ask for recommendations too: The initial bloggers were tapped for suggestions on who else to contact for a review, and they were generous with suggestions.
Test the waters
Not all bloggers are open to reviewing products. A good indication of whether bloggers would consider a review or a sponsored post is a link on their site for advertising rates and policies. Send an email or strike up a conversation on social media.
Don't forget the basics
While blogger outreach was in progress, Globe Runner was building Jerky Dynasty's shopping campaigns and fine-tuning the site for optimal SEO. Putting all your eggs into one marketing basket is not only risky should it fail, it also passes up opportunities that could help the overall effort.

Mr. Pain has tennis elbow.
How are you doing, Mr. Pain?
Not good. I have tennis elbow from playing it so much.
There's a way around that.
Oh no. I just deleted my whole document.
Press control z to get it back.
It's back! Now I need to copy this part and paste it here.
Press control c and then hit control v.
Emma, you just made my life easier.
Glad to be of help.
Did I hear you say there's a way around it?
Yes, Mr. Pain.
What is it?
Take a break from playing tennis.
Oh. What would you recommend I do instead?

All in all it was pretty simple to get my flask app up and running on Elastic Beanstalk. I ran into a couple of gotchas, and wanted to share them to save others some time.
I relied heavily on two tutorials to get going my first app up:
Three main gotchas where (see below for how to get solve / work around):
- As of June 2013, EB only supports python 2.6 (2.6.8 to be specific)
- Make sure your container is configured to point to your static files
- Make sure your Flask app is named application
Somethings that I am impressed with (again only been playing with this a day):
- Fundamentally, easy to get up and running
- Autoscaling seems to be pretty slick
- Besides the python for the web server, the instances are highly configurable (docs)
- in particular I like the configurable services that you can attach to each instance
Things that I am currently struggling with (but again its only been a day) are:
- Can not specify python version for their WSGI
- Not much of a community (or at least I can't find the community) around EB. And so …
- Forums and StackOverflow are not manned by Amazon employees, and in general is not active
- Documentation is pretty poor
- Few documented patterns or best practices
- Logging is not great (more below)
- No console concept (
eb run python—> and get an interactive python console)
Currently Beanstalk only supports python 2.6
For now the only real option is to make sure your web app runs on 2.6. I do not think thats critical, and I am sure in time they will upgrade to 2.7 and gasp maybe 3.0. But if you need to run a higher version — you will need to look to another solution (ec2 or heroku).
To get your localenv to run 2.6, make a virtualenv like so …
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.6 your_project_name
And you will need to keep another session open with 2.7 or greater to work with the
ebcli (this still makes be laugh)
Configure your container to point to your static files:
If you do not do this, all of your css, javascript and all your other static goodness will bot be served.
- Create a
.ebextensionsfolder in your project root
- Create a [project_name].config file in that .ebextensions folder
Mine looks like the following:
option_settings: "aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:python:staticfiles": "/static/": "static/"
You can read more about configuration here
Make sure your flask app (or another WSGI app is named application)
EB WSGI looks for an
application object inside an
application.py file in your project root. Mine looks like:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Other tips
Using brew to install the eb cli
If you are on a mac, you can use brew to install the elastic beanstalk cli (ironically you need to have python 2.7 or 3.x installed on your machine)
brew install aws-elasticbeanstalk
To Check out the logs
You have a couple of options to check out the logs:
- using the CLI,
eb logs
- going to the web console, navigate to logs, and hit 'Snapshot logs' (docs)
I found the that formatting of
eb logs in the console to be pretty unreadable. The code is found here (couldn't find it on github). If I find I rely on this a lot I will probably rewrite this. I think the main issue is three fold:
- They probably are giving us too much info. They provide us separate logs from the following sources:
- /opt/python/log/httpd.out
- /var/log/httpd/error_log
- /var/log/cfn-hup.log
- /opt/python/log/supervisord.log
- /var/log/eb-tools.log
- /var/log/httpd/access_log
- /var/log/eb-cfn-init-call.log
- /var/log/eb-publish-logs.log
- /var/log/cfn-init.log
- /var/log/eb-cfn-init.log
- Each log is presented in a different format (I know why thats the case — but still)
And I think they are simply running
tail -non each each of these files. So you get the last n rows for each file, presented separately. What I really want to know is what just happened or even better — what is happening right now (tailing). AND to have all of these logs files interlaced and prefaced by its source. Something like:
[timestamp] [source=error_log] message 1 [timestamp] [source=error_log] message 2 [timestamp] [source=access_log] message 3

We are thrilled to announce that Fair Isle Ford is partnering with West Royalty School to conduct a Ford Drive One 4 Ur School fundraising event.
Our event will take place on Wednesday, June 17th between 10 am and 7 pm. It is an excellent chance for our school to raise funds. Here's how it works... For every valid test-drive completed, Ford Motor Company of Canada will donate $20 - up to $6,000 total! Sounds easy right BUT we need your help!
Participants can come to the school anytime between 10 am and 7 pm to test drive a Ford and complete the survey - this should take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Registration can be done in advance - watch for a link to be circulated closer to the event. This will help greatly so that we get as many people as possible signed up in advance of the event.
We also need volunteers to act as co-pilots (one for each of the 12 test vehicles) throughout the day, and people to work the registration and survey desks here at the school. If you are ready, willing and able to volunteer a block of time (anywhere from 1-2 hours or more) during the day, please let us know at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please include details on what you would like to help out with (co-pilot or registration/survey table) and specific times when you are available.
THANK YOU in advance for your support of this event. We look forward to seeing you all out to support the students at West Royalty School.

No problems, only solutions
It's often said it would be a great job without clients! Frequently, the biggest challenge you face is having your client attend their medico-legal examination. Here at Optimal Med we are accustomed to having to go beyond that extra mile to enable a medical appointment can take place. Work with us to ensure that your cases progress smoothly.
Without providing an exhaustive list, the most common difficulties we encounter in practice are:-
- Locating the right expert. Admittedly it can sometimes be a struggle to locate the right expert in the right place and for the right cost. Let us do the searching on your behalf. We have yet to suffer defeat!
- Language and cultural issues. Handling cases for people who cannot speak English or do not understand the legal process is challenging. Our in house staff can speak multiple languages and we are supplemented by access to a nationwide network of translators. We will happily translate any required documents. We will converse with the client in their preferred language and if needs be will arrange attendance at the examination with a suitably qualified translator.
- Attendance problems. Sometimes no matter what we seem to do getting the client to attend an actual examination is to say the least problematic. Partly this is down to communication. You also have to bear in mind clients may well be emotionally affected by the accident or still suffering from physical injuries. Going that extra mile to speak to the client on receipt of instructions to ensure cooperation and at regular intervals up until the appointment certainly helps. However, sometimes no matter how many times you talk, attendance cannot be guaranteed. In suitable cases we therefore arrange home visits, and can also accompany clients to the appointment chaperoning them from home to appointment to home again. In the past we have even arranged flights from abroad and a chaperone to the airport for the client.

Client: U.S. Air Force
Location: Whiteman Air Force Base (AFB), Missouri
POWER's team led coordination with local, state, and federal agencies for an Environmental Assessment (EA) and associated Phase I and Phase II Environmental Baseline Studies (EBS) for Whiteman AFB.
The EA analyzed the potential environmental consequences of a proposed acquisition of approximately 1,188 acres, in 24 separate parcels under 16 private ownerships, located at both the north and south ends of an existing airfield. The Proposed Action allowed the Air Force to maintain adequate safety zones associated with the airfield runways by expanding installation boundaries to fully include the clear zone and all accident potential zones.
The focus of the EA was on the effects to the ecological resources (primarily soils, vegetation, wetlands, streams, and special-status species), cultural resources (both archaeological and history/architecture), safety, socioeconomic and environmental justice resources, and hazardous materials and hazardous waste. The Phase I EBS evaluated the history of use, storage, or disposal of hazardous substances or petroleum products on the property to be acquired and classified the parcels into Property Category Codes. The Phase II EBS investigated the nature and extent of contamination at one parcel considered for acquisition.
The analyses of these environmental elements resulted in a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). The project was completed on an expedited schedule, and the FONSI was signed three months early.

1/4 cup firm tofu
1/4 cup nondairy milk (I use soy)
2 tablespoons fruit jam
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup raw sugar (or brown sugar, if preferred)
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
nuts and/or chocolate chips, if desired
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Oil and flour a pan. Puree the tofu and milk until smooth; pour mix into bowl.
2. Add the other liquid ingredients, mix, then add the dry ones and mix again.
3. Add chocolate and nuts, if using. Pour batter (and smooth it around, because it should be quite thick) into prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes.
I take my brownies out of the oven a little early so they are extra moist--you may prefer yours fully baked, but its an idea at least.
Voila! Just see if you can keep any around for longer than 24 hours!
Source of recipe: I had a few days to experiment with brownie recipes and this is what I came up with. If you are ever making brownies for non-vegan friends, this is the recipe to use (I've already had it non-vegan approved and have been commissioned to make more!) For brownies, they are also very healthy.

The Internet is loaded with opportunities for working online, but finding the ones which provide a good, reliable income can be challenging. If you want to know how to make more money online, you're first going to need to be able to tell the scammers and schemers apart from the real opportunities. As a general rule, if something looks too good to be true, then it most likely is. Working online is something that almost anyone can do, especially if their first language is English.
The key to getting started with working online is to have some realistic goals. These days, no one gets rich quick by working online, contrary to what many unscrupulous salespeople might have you believe. Building up an income online takes time, but following are some of the easiest and most reliable ways to start making some money.
1: Internet Freelancing
There's absolutely no shortage of freelancing jobs being advertised online. In fact, working online is now the big thing, since companies and individuals all over the world want to save costs by outsourcing their work to freelancers in the global market. Unfortunately, however, this means that you will often be competing with people from countries where wages are vastly lower and they are prepared to work for what is far less than a livable income in other countries.
In spite of this, there are exceptions and keeping an eye on some of the top freelancer sites is your first gateway to working online and perhaps, ultimately quitting your day job. Good sites to get started with are Elance.com, Freelancer.com, Rentacoder.com and Guru.com, although there are many more.
On these sites, you can choose from many job types and bid on jobs you like and submit your proposals to the potential client. Popular job types include freelance writing, web design, graphic design, programing, audio transcription, data entry and translation. If you can do one of these, you'll be working online in no time provided you give it some perseverance.
2: Starting Your Own Website
This one requires a lot more commitment in many respects. It also requires more time and, ideally, some knowledge of Internet marketing and web design. However, these things are not hard to learn and doing so can pay off greatly. Starting a website with open source software such as WordPress is ideal for beginners and it is simply the best way to create a professional-looking blog in minimal time.
Once you've started your site and you are regularly filling it with content, you'll want to start marketing it. There are many ways to drive traffic to your site, such as by posting links on forums and social networking sites, posting articles containing links elsewhere and much more.
Being successful with working online for yourself, with your own website, typically requires enough time and marketing to build up enough traffic. You can then start selling affiliate products on your site and bringing in advertising revenue by placing advertisements on each page of your site.

Yes, and take a look at this: http://jquerymobile.com/
You can use javascript to determine if a mobile device is accessing your site and provide a mobile version of it using jquery mobile.

May 09, 2012 09:08 AM|DarthSwian|LINK
You can try and design one, but Its not going to be very easy. First off the resolutions are vastly different. Secondly what works on desktop doesn't always work on mobile.
It'd be less time doing two versions
but if you have an n-tier application it shouldn't be too much work

Ofcourse you can take advantage of HTML 5! Almost all mobile browsers supports rendering HTML 5 content - Apple iPhone, Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry etc.,
Hope it helps u...

Dukwon - Aww Yeah
- Artist: Dukwon
- Track: Aww Yeah
- Producer: MGeezy
- Album: Mr. Southern Pine
Although Jacksonville rapper Dukwon is completely independent, he is ready to promote his work like a "major without a major deal." With a slew of regional mixtapes hosted by the likes of Nas, Swizz Beatz, and N.O.R.E., the Duval County representative is bringing his city into the limelight with his official debut single, Aww Yeah. Contrary to what most hip-hop websites would have you believe, Aww Yeah does NOT feature T-Pain (vocoders can be misleading), but even without an A-list feature, Dukwon seems to be sitting pretty. With the powerful message that he is serious about the rap game, backed by an equally strong beat (courtesy of MGeezy), Dukwon should have plenty of buzz around his name when he releases his debut, Mr. Southern Pine, this November.

Fiery speeches and thunderous chants shook West Edmonton Mall Sunday as thousands gathered for a Grand Entry ceremony in support of Idle No More.
Roughly 3,000 men, women and children packed into two floors near the Hudson's Bay Company at 1 p.m. to show their support for the protest movement. Demonstrators spoke on environmental protection and aboriginal land rights, and called on Prime Minister Stephen Harper to repeal sections of Bill C-45 and Bill C-38.
Demonstrator Georgina Lightning said she hopes the movement's can overthrow Bill C-45 so it can be dissected and redrawn.
"It's the largest piece of legislation to ever pass in the history of Canada. And it was so fast-tracked, there was no time to really dissect each piece of the bill and decide on each piece instead of an entirety," she said. Lightning especially takes issue with amendments to the bill that loosen the protection of waterways across Canada.
"If you look at Fort Chipewyan, over 50% of the people are dying of cancer. I went to Fort MacKay, I interviewed those people, they can't even bathe in their own water. It's really scary. The kids have all kinds of skin conditions, children are being born with asthma and pneumonia," she said.
"It's unbelievable what's happening right now. And that's going to be everyone's reality if we don't all band together and overthrow this as a people."
Demonstrators came from as far as California.
Similar protests took place in Calgary and Winnipeg Sunday, days after Harper met with First Nations leaders. Meanwhile, Attawapiskat chief Theresa Spence has been on a liquid diet since Dec. 11, and has said she will continue to refrain from eating solid food in until she is granted a meeting with Harper and the Governor General.
Demonstrator Miranda Jimmy hopes the movement entices more young Canadians to get politically involved.
"I'm hopeful that this is the start of change and the start of a fire within young people to get more involved and to be more understanding of how our political system works," she said.
Aboriginal comedian Don Burnstick, who hails from Winnipeg, joined the demonstration after performing at the River Cree Casino Saturday night.
"Never before have our people in Canada united like this. There's been so much tribal separation and divison," he said. "It's a very powerful movement."
The Idle No More World Day of Action is planned for Jan. 28.

The soil is the most important basis for production in the agricultural sector. As it is impossible to create more of it, ever greater yields have to be obtained from the existing land. This can only be achieved with machines which are bigger, more powerful and, therefore, heavier. Soil compaction is the result. Recognising the need to reduce this effect drastically, we developed the TERRA TRAC drive concept with patented geometry for particularly effective soil protection.
The application of the TERRA TRAC to the JAGUAR is a logical development of our crawler track concept. The JAGUAR TERRA TRAC is the first forage harvester equipped as standard with a function to protect the soil and grassland against driving damage. The headland protection function reduces the contact area by a third when cornering and protects the grass cover. This means that, for the first time, it is possible to make use of the advantages of the crawler track system on all surfaces throughout the whole year.
The TERRA TRAC crawler track system causes significantly lower soil pressure than the wheeled machine, even in headland mode. Source: Kiel University of Applied Sciences, Prof. Reckleben (2017)
The TERRA TRAC drive concept with its patented geometry combines reliable, durable components with sophisticated technology.
The TERRA TRAC drive concept has convinced farmers and contractors around the world thanks to the following characteristics:
These advantages have consequences for the efficiency of farms/contractors and offer vast potential for cost savings. Maintenance of a good soil structure is the basic requirement for good yields. A good soil aggregate state can also keep the requirement for fertilizer to a minimum, as a healthy soil can make better use of the available nutrients than a compacted one.
Furthermore, use of the TERRA TRAC crawler track system can lead to fuel savings. Subsequent tillage can be performed with a lower tractive power requirement, as the soil compaction is more superficial than that which results when using other drive systems in the same weight classes. The good traction performance of the crawler tracks increases pulling power and thus also efficiency with the same fuel consumption.
The advantages of the TERRA TRAC concept are obvious and have proved themselves on combine harvesters for over 20 years. In order to make full use of the potential of the system, it is important to take an integrated approach to soil protection. This means treating the soil gently throughout every process in the chain. Taking this reasoning to its logical conclusion, CLAAS is now extending the application of this concept to the tractor and forage harvester so that farmers and contractors can treat the basis of their livelihood, the soil, sustainably from drilling to harvest.

65 Contribution Free countries…GDP-ranked (with Income Equality, Life Expectancy and Environmental Performance)
65 out of 147 countries with full data in ClimatePositions are Contribution Free (no climate debt). 41% of the world's population lives in these Contribution Free countries and they emitted only 9% of the global carbon dioxide from fossil fuels in 2012 – without India the corresponding figures are 24% of the global population and 3% of the emissions.
The table below shows the 65 Contribution Free countries ranked by GDP(ppp-$) per capita, with Income Equality ('Atkinson Index'), Life Expectancy and Environmental Performance. The world's average GDP(ppp-$) per capita was $13.791 in 2012. Analysis and comments see below the table – the color codes are explained in the bottom.
Brazil's rainforests and climate change performance
The Google map of the Amazon is from the new interactive 'Global Forest Change' developed by The University of Maryland (read 'more'). The red is Forest Loss from 2000 to 2012, the blue is Forest Gain and the green is Forest Extent (unchanged). The purple is areas of mixed Forest Loss and Forest Gain. According to Brazil's environment minister the lowest recorded deforestation of Brazil since 1988, was in 2012. Furthermore, up to a third of the cleared rainforest over the past decades may be on the way back (regrowth).
COP20 in Lima: Derailed negotiations and depressed scientists
Since 'COP1 in Berlin' in 1995 the global CO2 Emissions from fossil fuels have increased by 50% (in addition to increased greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation, cement production, melting permafrost, etc.). The purpose of COP1, COP2, COP3, COP4, COP5, COP6, COP7, COP8, COP9, COP10, COP11, COP12, COP13, COP14, COP15, COP16, COP17, COP18 and COP19 were to reduce dangerous greenhouse gases and counteract global warming. The current COP20 in Lima builds on twenty years of mushrooming in a flawed system without tools to secure meaningful negotiations and reject derailments caused by powerful nations such as the United States and China. Meanwhile, depression¹ is spreading from climate scientists to larger parts of the planet's population.
Climate change performance of Saudi Arabia and Canada
The first diagram shows the relative Climate Contribution (debt) per capita of Saudi Arabia, Canada, China, the United States and Russia, with the world's average set at 100. Around 2007 Saudi Arabia passed Canada and since then, the gap has grown considerably. Today, the climate debt per capita accumulated since 2000 are respectively $7,936 and $5,128 (see the 'ranking').
The Climate Contributions are calculated by using eleven 'indicators' of which national CO2 Emissions from the burning of fossil fuels is the principal. Extraction and export of fossil fuels is not one of the indicators which Saudi Arabia should be thankful for – wealth measured as 'GDP(ppp-$)', however, is an indicator.
The United Kingdom beats Germany in climate change performance
Germany is ranked 24th and United Kingdom 33rd among 147 countries on the list of the worst performing countries in ClimatePositions. See the 'ranking'. The German Climate Contribution (debt) accumulated since 2000 has increased from $980 per capita in 2010 to $1,640 in the latest calculation, while the one of the United Kingdom has increased from $796 to $1,156. The first diagram shows the relative climate debt of the two countries in comparison with France, Italy and Poland, with the world average set at 100. Since 2010, the United Kingdom is the only country among the five that has improved significantly. The world average climate debt has increased from $455 per capita in 2010 to $769 in the latest calculation (this increase reflects both the growing CO2 Emissions from fossil fuels and the growing economy). The following analyses some trends for Germany and the United Kingdom.
Climate change performance: Japan vs. South Korea
The first diagram shows the nuclear power generation per capita of the two countries. The Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan in 2011 has caused a remarkable shutdown of generation – while CO2 Emissions from the burning of petroleum, coal and natural gas have increased (from 2011 to 2012 respectively by 6%, 5% and 3%) to close the energy gap. Nuclear power generation produce dangerous radioactive waste to deal with for thousands of future generations (10,000 to 250,000 years) and in ClimatePositions nuclear power is not accepted as a national CO2 Emission reduction instrument (read 'more'). The following analyzes the indicator trends of Japan and South Korea.

Its time for a little baseball prognosticating. I'll admit to being a stats addict, and I'm going to look at the stats from Spring Training 2008, compare them to the stats from the 2008 regular season, and then see what conclusions I can draw for this coming season based on the 2009 Spring Training stats. Whew. Good thing I'm a stats freak 'cause that's a lot of numbers.
We'll look first at the Captain, and see if his 2009 will be better than 2008.
'Tek hit .320 in 2008 Spring training, with 3 homers and 7 RBIs.
In 2008, he hit .220 with 13 home runs and an astounding 122 strike-outs in 131 games.
So far this spring, Varitek has hit .206 with 3 homers and 12 RBIs. Maybe the lower spring training batting average bodes well for 'Tek, his 2007 spring training batting average was .108, and he ended up hitting .255 with 17 home runs in 2007.
My prediction is that 'Tek will hit somewhere between .229 and .245 for 2009. We'll see.
Next, we'll take a look at Jacoby Ellsbury
In 2008 spring training, Jacoby hit .209 with 4 RBIs and 3 runs scored.
During the regular season, despite slumps, Jacoby finished with .280, 47 RBIs, 98 runs scored and 50 stolen bases.
This spring, Jacoby has hit .250 with 8 runs scored, 5 RBIs, and 1 steal.
Look for him to hit around .300 this season, with more runs scored and more stolen bases if he can avoid the slumps. Since this will be (sort of) his third year in the majors, maybe he can avoid the sophomore slump? If he does, Ellsbury will be one of the game's elite lead-off hitters, combined with his great defense, should lead to an excellent player.
Now lets look at the AL MVP Dustin Pedroia.
In 2008 spring training, Dustin batted .179 with 1 homer and 4 RBIs.
The 2008 season, he stepped up his game considerably, hitting .326 with 17 home runs and 83 RBIs.
This spring, not including his brief stint at the World Baseball Classic, Pedroia has hit .370 with 4 RBIs and 10 hits.
Pedroia throws off the stats a little, because so far, he's been a slow starter (he hit .196 in 2007 spring training, then hit .317 for the year). But because of the World Baseball Classic, we don't have all his stats. If you figure them all out, Dustin's spring average is .279, considerably higher than his usual spring training average. That means I have to forget stats and just guesstimate.
I'd look for Pedroia to do better than his stellar year last year and hit around the .335-.350 mark. This may be overly optimistic, but he's got the will and the drive.
That's it for part one, next I'll look at Lowrie, Lowell, and Youkilis and see what kind of years they will have.

When it comes to a new product launch or some new service being rolled out, India and other south-east Asian countries are not usually anybody's first except for when a product being launched in its homeland. But Google seems to have taken the responsibility for changing this trend. India was the first nation to be gifted with the Android One smartphones by Google an now, the tech giant has gifted us with another first. YouTube offline playback service has been introduced and India, Indonesia and Philippines are the first nations to get it.
The announcement for the offline playback service for YouTube was made back in September at the Google I/O event along with Android One. The service works with the updated YouTube app and allows you to store videos in the cache memory of your phone for viewing later upto a period of 48 hours. This can be done by clicking on the "Add video to Offline button" next to the video. This button looks like the average download button. Not that selected videos are available for viewing offline as of now. Once you click the button, you will be asked the video quality in which you want to save it (360p or 720p). You can then access the videos added to the Offline playlist by accessing them from the side menu.
This however is not similar to downloading videos as the videos will automatically be deleted from the cache memory of your device after a period of 48 hours. The motive behind this is to make sure you can watch videos on YouTube even if you dont have internet connectivity for a period of time. This is also the main reason for the service being released in developing nations like India, Indonesia and Philippines. The poor wireless internet connectivity in these nations is ideal for this feature so users can view and save videos when they have internet connectivity and enjoy it upto 2 days with no internet connectivity. Facts like just 10% of the 900 million phone users own a smartphone in India makes India ideal for a service like this and also highlights the fact that there is plenty of growth potential in India and similar nations.
This is what Jay Akkad, YouTube's product manager for the Asia Pacific region had to say on the matter:
YouTube offline is just a start. We hope to keep finding better ways to make video content more affordable and accessible to our growing base of YouTube mobile users in the region,"
There is no news on when will this service be available in other nations but it sure looks like India has become an upcoming market for Google. After the Android One program,Google has been gifting us with many products like the Nexus products finally arriving on the Google Play Store India and then the Chromecast being made available day before yesterday. If things keep on going this way, India could soon be one of the biggest market for Google, considering its large population.

Most tourists and locals make their way to Karim's for their biryani, paya and firni. But there are other local joints which do an equally brilliant job, at more pocket-friendly prices too. Haaji Noora Nihari Wale: This joint dishes up an awesome plate of nihari, a rich stew of goat meat cooked for eight hours straight. This creamy, melt-in-the-mouth concoction can be scooped up with khameeri rotis. It makes for a delicious meal at less than Rs 100. Getting there: Shop No. 3576, Thele wali Gali, Bara Hindu Rao Road, Sadar Bazaar, New Delhi. Lazeez Darbar: This eatery near Hazrat Nizamuddin dishes up very good mutton kebabs and mutton burra, doused in thick gravy. Their mutton biryani and firni also come highly recommended. Getting there: Near Rajdoot Hotel, 13-B Jangpura, Mathura Road, near Nizamuddin railway station. Ustad Moinuddin: Located in the Lal Kuan area, this is one shop Delhites recommend for its well-priced, succulent kebabs. Biryani is also sold by the kilo nearby. Getting there: Lal Kuan, Gali Qasimjan, Chawri Bazar, New Delhi. The Lanes of Matia Mahal: The narrow gallis of Matia Mahal are a good iftar destination, if you don't mind the crowds. Buffalo kababs, korma, sevaiyan and shahi tukda await foodies. Getting there: In and around Jama Majid, Old Delhi. Nearest metro stops: Chawri Bazaar or Chandni Chowk.
While Mohammed Ali Road is on everyone's go-to list for street food every Ramzan, there are a few other eateries scattered around the city that also fall under the must-visit category. Bade Miyan: This famous joint in South Mumbai needs no introduction for locals. It's so popular during Ramzan that they open an additional stall each year to cope with the crowds. Their haleem and zabaan (tongue) soup are their crowd pullers. Getting there: Tulloch Road, Apollo Bunder, Colaba. Barah Handi: This Crawford Market eatery gets its name from the 12 handis used to make different items. Try the paya, it's a specialty. Getting there: 45 Gujar Street, Behind Dargah, Crawford Market, near Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus. Marhaba Fast Food: This little gem, tucked away in a corner of Minara Masjid, area has chicken rolls and baida roti to die for. Getting there: Minara Masjid, Memon Wada. Hindustan Restaurant: There isn't much mention of this place online, but locals swear by the food at Hindustan restaurant, opposite Minara Masjid. Visit for platefuls of their tiny kebabs. Getting there: 152, I M Merchant Road Near Minara Masjid, near Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus. Noorani Milk Centre and Suleiman Mithaiwala: Both places are famous for their malpuas – the best in the town. Also do try the firni and ras malai at Suleiman's and the badam milk at Noorani. Getting there: Noorani Milk Centre, 157 Ebrahim Road, Minara Masjid, Mohammed Ali Road, Masjid Bunder; Shop No. 41 F/G, Mohammed Ali Rd, Mumbadevi Area, Bhuleshwar.
The biryani city shows off to its best advantage during Ramzan. Set out to Charminar in the evening when the old city comes to life with hundreds of stalls and eateries invitingly displaying their food well past midnight. Hotel Shadab: Tourists may prefer the more upscale ambience of Paradise hotel for Hyderabadi biryani, but locals know that Shadab on High Court Road serves it best. Also try their mutton malai kebabs and pahadi kebabs along with sheer korma. Getting there: 21-1-140-144, Near High Court Road, Opp Madina Circle, Charminar. Charminar Stalls: To sample the street food, spend a few hours at these stalls sampling their kebabs, keema parathas and pather ka ghosht (meat cooked on hot stone). #FoodComa Getting there: Near Mecca Masjid, Charminar Road. Hotel Nayaab: This eatery in Ghansi Bazaar serves a superb bheja fry and mutton masala. Scoop it with some naan and top it with egg pudding. Also try their nihari, kelaji, ghurdey and zabaan. With that you will have a full spare-parts meal going on! Getting there: Nayapul Road, Ghansi Bazaar. Hyline: This café in King Koti draws huge crowds for its haleem. This rich mutton and lentils stew is said to be meatier at Hyline. Getting there: 3-5-784/A/2, Hy-line Circle, King Koti Road, Koti. Yousuf Tekri Food Court: Head to this food court in Toli Chowki for an Arabic iftar, complete with shawarma platters and laham mandi. Getting there: Tolichowki Main road, Tolichowki.
No Ramzan food trail is complete without a visit to Lucknow, land of the nawabs. Head to the chowk ki galli near Akbari Gate to fill your bellies and heart. Tunday Kababi: Tunde de kebab is a specialty in Lucknow and it's best served at Tunday Kababi at Aimnabad. Also don't forget to try their galouti kebabs. Getting there: 151, Phool Wali Gali, Chowk. Akbari Gate: If you can brave the gut-crushing crowds, then head to Akbari Gate to spend a few hours among the stalls there. Whet your appetite with a glass of Kashmiri chai before you head to Haji Sahib's for nihari and kulcha. Dunk a large piece of naan in their famous rogan josh or the less famous, but equally delectable, Khajur Ghosht, a mutton curry cooked with dates. Finish the dusk-till-dawn feast with makhan malai – a light Lucknow variant of saffron-spiked ice cream. Getting there: Chowk Bazaar, Lucknow.

I, like many other nerds, have applied SP1 to many of my Win7 and Win 2008 R2 boxes since its proper release to the web (im not/wasnt ball-sy enough to use the leaked OEM versions)
First impressions of Hyper-V dynamic memory are quite good. I have, as expected, freed up a reasonable amount of memory on each of my hyper-V servers, enough so i could run another 5 or 6 virtuals per host – which is quite impressive.
I quite like the feedback you now get in the Hyper-V mmc – with assigned memory, memory demand and memory status…. although a minor thing – it will definately help improve densities and therefore reduce costs in the datacentre.

When I first entered the adoption field in 2004 working for the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute, it was the first time I was faced with the reality that there are over 100 million orphans living outside of permanent care. As Executive Director of Joint Council on International Children's Services, I was confronted daily with the reality that not every child is counted, and if they are not counted, they do not count to the governments and systems meant to protect them. We know exactly how many children are affected with polio every year, we know the statistics for children's vaccinations globally, yet we still do know how many children live outside the love and protection of a forever family.
The United Nations, global human rights groups, and child welfare organizations list the many basic human rights every man, woman, and child should be afforded. However, often left off those lists is the basic human right every child deserves: to be raised in a safe, permanent loving family.
As the Founder of Trustify, I see pro-bono cases that we work on finding missing and trafficked children. These children often have been a part of the foster care system. Foster care is a beautiful, wonderful option for many children to keep them safe and secure, but it should not be used for long-term placement. Children have a right to a forever family and permanent loving care.
As we see changes in our current Administration's policies regarding intercountry adoption, we are left as adoption professionals, parents, and advocates wondering if our own government views safe, permanent, loving care as a basic human right all children deserve. Many people understand there is an orphan crisis, but may not realize the extent of this issue of our time. As regulations become more stringent in the United States, and more countries close intercountry adoption as an option for permanent care, adoption advocates are left wondering what they can do. Advocating for safe, loving forever homes to your Member of Congress, petitioning the White House to roll back recent changes to intercountry adoption (that have made it more prohibitive), and connecting with adoption agencies and orphan care organizations to volunteer your time and talent for our world's most vulnerable population—those living outside of a forever family— are a few ways you can help every child realize their right to a forever family.

Pension Portability and Labor Mobility: Evidence From the Survey of Income and Program Participation
NBER Working Paper No. 3525
The evidence presented in this paper casts doubt on the proposition that pension backloading is responsible for the low job mobility rates observed for pension covered workers. It corroborates earlier findings by the authors, based on different data, that pension covered jobs offer higher levels of compensation than workers can obtain elsewhere, and it is this compensation premium, rather than non-portability, that accounts for lower turnover among pension covered workers. This evidence is further bolstered by the finding that defined contribution plans, which are not backloaded, and defined benefit plans, bear similar negative relations to mobility.

I had a glorious nine days off last week that I'd been looking forward to for a month. Leaving work on my last day before vacation was just like
Anyway, I had big plans for my vaycay, people. BIG plans. Since the main level floors had been refinished I could finally start working on the dining room and living room, and I was gunning for this old table, big time.
We were given this table when we bought our our first house three years ago. It has been great for us and I'll never turn my nose up at free furniture, but my tastes have changed a lot (just look at those chairs) and I wanted something a little bigger, that could seat at least six.
So I did some mathing and decided how big I wanted our new table to be, then sketched out a rough drawing of the table top:
No, no, I'm not an engineer, but thank you for asking! For the base I was inspired by the Hyannis Dining Table from Wicker Emporium, which is gorgeous, but totally out of my price range. I figured I could easily replicate it using 2x4s for the legs and braces and 2x2s for the decorative accent pieces.
I'm so happy with how the table turned out, and I'm especially excited that this is my first build using plans of my own, and that I was able to navigate Google Sketchup enough so that I can share them here! (Please be kind! I'm still learning the program hence the weird-looking pocket holes.) I hope they're clear, but am happy to answer any questions about the process in the comments.
I started by making my cuts for the table top pieces out of my 2x10s. I used my new Ryobi table saw to make all of the cuts for the 2x10s, and I love it! I've always avoided using the table saw but am glad I faced my fears and am getting more comfortable with it.
I sanded all the planks separately before attaching them together using 1 1/2″ pocket holes and 2 1/2″ pocket hole screws. My Kreg Jig was integral to building this table and I love it more and more every time I use it! I currently have the R3, but am hoping to upgrade to the K4 soon. Look at all those pocket holes!
I beveled the long sides of the table using my table saw for something to do. I was trying to replicate live-edge wood, which it doesn't at all, but I did end up loving the end result anyway so score?
Next I made the legs. I used 2x4s glued together to cut back on costs, but you could use 4x4s instead if that's your preference.
I let the legs dry over night, and then assembled the base using pocket holes and wood glue:
This thing is STURDY. Definitely can and will be dancing on it in the very near future.
I finished the top and base separately and waited to attach them together until after moving both pieces inside. For the finish, I used one coat of Minwax Provincial stain. I wiped it off with a rag almost immediately after application so it wouldn't turn out too dark or saturated.
I love all the variations in the wood! Provincial was a good choice because I wanted something that was darker than my floors, but not so dark that it would have no depth. Once I applied the first coat of poly, it warmed up the wood slightly but didn't change the color too drastically.
I gave the top seven coats of poly (sanding in between each) but only three on the base, since it won't see as much wear and tear and I am LAZY.
Looking good, Madam Table (actually not really because this lighting is terrible):
I moved both pieces inside, secured the top to the base using 2 1/2″ pocket hole screws and stood back to admire my handiwork.
Since we are too poor to afford any more than four of those bomb-ass Eiffel chairs, I built a bench using plans for the Ana White Outdoor Sofa with some left over 2x4s. I modified the plans slightly to accommodate for size, and sewed some super-easy (removable!) cushion covers following this impossible to screw up tutorial. Seriously, if you can sew a straight line, you can make these.
I do love the added detail of the table's beveled edge, especially for how simple it was to achieve using the table saw!
I'm irrationally excited to find the perfect rug for under the table. My life is….wild. If you want to build this table yourself, check out my free plans here! The wood cost around $75 in total and I had all the other supplies for finishing on hand. This is a basic build that (in my humble, unbiased opinion) looks like an expensive piece of furniture and is solid as hell. Framing lumber is a wonderful thing, my friends. Happy building!
