A great S/W guide got better
July 18 2004
This review is from:
Code Complete (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
The book Pragmatic Programmer by Hunt and Thomas fell to the second spot on my most-frequent "read list" since receiving this new version of Code Complete, though they both serve slightly different goals with overlap.
CC2 is a great one-stop 'place' to go to when you want a great excuse to apply Stephen Covey's 'Sharpen The Saw' principle. This updated version has some great, fun to read and expert instruction on designing from scratch, whether it's OO, writing better routines, psuedocode, nested loops, or at the higher level: agile methods, etc..
His approach of talking to you, the programmer, is ideal: not too much humor, and an easy to read, but professional approach in the way he donates the contents of his brain: i.e. McConnell's lengthy experience in the field.
I read just a couple of paragraphs in a chapter before work one morning, and the advice I picked up saved so much time that same day. And it wasn't even specific to coding instruction. It was a piece of advice on a philosophy on how he personally determines how much upfront design he should settle on before coding.
Books like these are a little hard to muster up motivation once you first buy it and get the book on your shelf. Our motivation to do something comes from the picture in our head, or how something sounds, and at first you can't see how much good it will do to start spending precious time on it, as compared to some brand new book on a specific language that looks impressive to know.
But the truth is: refreshing your overall S/W construction techniques gives you so much more of your life back, because you will have way less bugs and a lot more fun maintaining the high-quality code you are now writing because of CC2.
I mentioned already that he covers OO, but I wanted to emphasize the excellent material he offers in this area. I am now seeing the benefit of measuring the quality of your classes by this guideline: are they true Abstract Data Types. ( rather than just trying to use the syntax that the language provides to its potential).
Great job on a pretty thorough re-write of a S/W development staple.

A different angle at making Law of Attract. more effective
Dec 22 2003
This review is from:
Ultimate Secret To Getting Absolutely Everything (Mass Market Paperback)
Many of the reviewers who gave a low rating might have read the principles from a more limiting perspective, and I can see how that might happen. If most of the material that they had read before this one was based more on pragmatic everyday goal-setting advice, they just really won't catch on.
After reading this book over three years ago, and then reading material on Quantum physics-mind connection, as well as the effects of thoughts and emotionalized focus on the actual physical manifestation of things, I got the message on the second read.
I loved not only Hernacki's personal story, but also the way he presented the concepts of how you can easily block the outpicturing of your goals by having a hesitant, or worse, attitude relating to taking steps toward the goal.
If I could sum up the reason why I mention in my listmania list why this is unusual among metaphysical books, it's in the way he instructs how to avoid projecting mental blockers into the Universe (which affect physical reality). These blockages are caused by you picturing in your mind possible painful steps you think you might have to take toward your objective, and then putting your foot down refusing to do that one possibly painful thing. The Law of Attraction is neutral, and pays attention to any hesitant energy.
If you emotionally agree to yourself that you are - body, mind, and soul - willing to do *anything*, you most likely won't have to do *most of the work* toward your goal. It's a paradox.
It's worth reading the book to elaborate for you what I'm summarizing here. He includes quotes by Emerson, and the really good quote by Goethe (Providence moves with you when you show boldness), to help support his points.
Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World

The core of how your thoughts and feelings affect your life.
Oct. 5 2003
This review is from:
Thought Vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World (Paperback)
If anyone has not read this gem of a book, just because it's a century old, you're missing out on a really good thing. I actually ordered the softcover from Amazon, because I had to have it a more portable easier to read format. Wasn't satisfied with just having the online text that is available easily through a search on the web by using his name and title.
He clarifies really nicely, the concepts of how to never resist the negative, opposing thoughts that come into your mind, and how to just simply focus on what you want. It's amazing, how in 1906, he puts things so well in line with what I had already been reading in more current works.
Also the area of deservingness is very well explained, in a humorous but home-hitting way.
I think the most important concept he covers is his emphasis on how important it is to keep your energy on just one objective, and to never waver in your attention to it, and he uses the analogy of a lover flirting with others instead of his/her mate. Flirting with other potential goals, i.e. indecision, leaves your main goal to respond in kind by taking a step backwards.
( recommend Message of a Master by John McDonald for an 80-page reminder of the importance of one-pointedness)
Atkinson's quote on worry: "You do not need to fight Worry - that isn't the way to overcome the habit. Just practice concentration, and then learn to concentrate upon something right before you, and you will find the worry thought has vanished. The mind can think of but one thing at a time, and if you concentrate upon a bright thing, the other thing will fade away. There are better ways of overcoming objectionable thoughts than by fighting them. Learn to concentrate upon thoughts of an opposite character, and you will have solved the problem."

JOY Overdose
July 4 2003
This review is from:
Sun Spirit (Audio CD)
I bought this CD on a whim after hearing it mentioned in a magazine article - forgot which - as a good CD for a pleasant ambience.
'Pleasant?' Talk about understatement.
You will want to tell others about it as soon as you hear the first four or five tracks. But then when you get to track 8, there will be a door opening inside you that is marked "To Heaven". Track 9, the last track, is the best on the CD, in my opinion, and the one that removes the usefulness of the English vocabulary to try to describe it. It's the most intoxicatingly ecstasy-promoting music I've heard.
There is an NLP (neurolinguistic progrmaming) technique that involves you thinking and feeling about a highly positive emotionally charged past event, and then you create a physical anchor such as applying pressure to a finger while thinking about it. (It's good for job interviews or other anxiety producing times.) Track nine is my background music when I go through the process of creating an anchor, and it works so well!
Curing Human

Get out of the Hive Mind forever
Feb. 6 2003
This review is from:
Curing Human (Paperback)
If you want a good reason to finally let go of your everyday fears, anxieties, and just embrace the Real You which is always right NOW and Inside you, then just do it. After reading Curing Human,
I feel like I'm doing a disservice by not telling others the importance of making the hugest decision you can possibly make of all of your lifetimes (or your life if you believe in just one lifetime). This
decision is to go ahead and make every decision in every moment, based only on what Love would do. If you take away the crap that is ego, you're only left
with Pure Love which Spirit is.
There is a writer, whose name I won't mention, who said that you need to knock the legs out from under a belief so that you stop having reasons to believe in it.
This book in a very blunt-force way will remove any doubt from your mind, even if you had lingering doubts left after reading other works,
such as from Vernon Howard, that ego has any interest in your long-term growth, or even present moment happiness. In other words, there won't be even one
reason left in your mind of why you should allow the fear-based Ego to be in charge of anything you think, say, or do. There is no extra stuff that you have to weed through,
in this book, in order to get to the next point about the function of ego and that of Spirit. It's easy to read, and doesn't add anything unnecessary.
Several aspects of the book that I really liked:
- Some quotes from Spiritual mystics,
- The facts about Quantum Physics she provides (and our ability to control Reality),
- Her caution about how tricky Ego can be, and how important it is, to watch our thoughts and thus examine our beliefs, perceptions and attitudes constantly.
- The constant reminders of the cost of not making that all important decision to be the Love that you Already are without all of the gunk that is only a construct of fear-based Man
- Repetition of the fact that we are making a choice every moment of our life concerning who we are allowing to Take Charge inside us: Ego or Spirit. It's our choice.
If you want a relativiely small book that carries a compressed "punch" of how little your Soul and current desire for every-day Peace has to gain by aligning
with the ego in any way, this is your book. Read that last sentence again.
Everytime you read a statement in Curing Human about how destructive the ego is to the self and to the world, she will tend to balance it out with a positive message, such as this one:
"We'll discover that the ultimate truth about ourselves and existence is incredibly wonderful and so much better than the farse, only a psychotic psyche would prefer lies and illusions."
Remember, there's nothing to try to do to get to the real You, there are only things to discard.
M. Watkins wrote this book to impress upon you that you have been under a Spell and that the Real you is left only when you take away the "stuff" that humans have added
The Complete Q&A Job Interview Book

It's a LOT of work, but it gives you almost unfair advantage
July 27 2002
This review is from:
The Complete Q&A Job Interview Book (Paperback)
Being a computer programmer, I focused more on studying up on my C++ and SQL in order to do well on the technical tests during the interview. But when a question such as: "Why do you want to work here?" came at me on several interviews in one form or another, I probably invented another language in the process of trying to think something up - such was the babble that came out of my mouth. BUT WHAT WAS WORSE - was my body language. I'm sure it screamed: "total lack of confidence" to the interviewer.
Then I pulled my 1988 edition of the Q&A Interview book out from a box in my closet, and finally understood the point Allen was making with respect to putting all those answers into your subconscious so that they flllooowwww out very nicely without worry. And the important point is, It's NOT the answer at all! It's the physical calm of your facial expressoin, your lack of gestures, your stable unquivering voice tone that wins the interview.
The process of going through EVERY answer to the questions in this book, memorizing them, and then testing yourself in front of a mirror by answering your own questions from a tape recorder is grueling work, and at times very disheartening to do this day in and day out for a week while friends and family are enjoying their daily life employed.
But this work psychologically frees you up like nothing else on the day of the interview. Becuase it's like having a mind-meld machine laser a huge groove in your brain with the "action" vocabulary, so that you're ready for ANY question. All the questions in the book are in one way or another a variation of what you will be asked.
A side effect: you'll speak so confidently with recruiters/employers on the phone as well, and in person. You need this book, bottom line, if you're job hunting.
If you have distorted false beliefs about your self that further hamper your performance, check out "The Interview Rehearsal Book" by Gottesman in addition. This particular one will teach you about "Flash writing" which is basically automatic writing to uncover those skewed limiting beliefs about yourself.
An even better book on replacing deep-seated limiting beliefs is Nature of Personal Reality By Jane Roberts.
If you're in a crunch, however, and have an interview in three days, the Q&A Job Interview book will bring you over the top just enough or more to get the job.
Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting: The Astonishing Power of Feelings

It's the Universe, baby, and it's inside you.
July 4 2002
This review is from:
Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting: The Astonishing Power of Feelings (Audio Cassette)
Some previous readers have knocked this book down as unbelievable. One of their points of argument is that there are so many rich people who own corporations, etc, who never needed to read this book. But the thing is, some people had a different level of brainwashing. The beliefs that they grew up _already_, from their childhood, supported the actions they executed and the thoughts these achievers entertained. And these positive actions and constructive thoughts( about how creative and powerful they are inside ) can't help but make them jiggle most of the day with high vibrations. These negative reviewers need to remind themselves that they aren't INSIDE these other achiever's bodies, so how do they know that who's feeling what ?
If you think that this book is yet another hyped attempt at helping the way you feel so that you're just happier, or that the concepts are just too magical to be real, think about the New Testament: " As A Man Thinketh in His Heart, So Shall He Be". Neville's books, in a more difficult style to comprehend and not nearly as chatty as Lynn, will nonetheless convince you and make you realize: "Yes, mankind really is brainwashed. Look at this robber I'm looking at on the RealTV show, through the 7-11 camera,... that poor guy,... he thinks that he's just a puppet, and that these things on the outside are actually real, so he's got to get what's his because he believes he's powerless and he'll always be poor, and that he's somehow less than others."
I appreciate Lynn because she finally put this very readable material out there in the public and is making the importance of Putting Yourself into the Feeling State of Your desired Circumstances available to the public once again in a volume that Neville didn't achieve in the 50's (the Internet helps), though I prefer to read Neville.
For those who don't seem to be getting results, there is no violating the Universal Law of Attraction, anymore than there is violating Gravity. Make sure you're not subconsciously scared of the massive changes that can occur in your life through Creating. Make room for it. Know it. You are a Creator, but make sure that you see yourself as Deserving. If you're not, ain't nothin going to happen, or at least permanently.
Path of Least Resistance: Learning to Become the Creative Force in Your Own Life

We are Made in the Image & Likeness, meaning we Create also
June 23 2002
This review is from:
Path of Least Resistance: Learning to Become the Creative Force in Your Own Life (Paperback)
The Path of Least Resistance is an awesome piece of work. It's a "manual" that belongs to the product of YOU the instant you learn how to read.
We do exist to create, you know. In one of his books, inspirational author Alan Cohen has a chapter named: Create or Die.
If you think this is just a specifically focused book of techniques for artists on ways of being "creative", such as brainstorming and doesn't apply to your life as a bus driver, or a waitress, or a doctor, you're wrong. We ALL create, everything from good relationships, to successful meeting outcomes, to careers, and yes... music and paintings and inventions and sculptures and books. As a matter of fact, Fritz eschews the notion of brainstorming and you'll see why in this book.
Basically, the first thought that'll crowd your mind as you complete the first chapter and then the second chatper, is that you have to read this repeatedly, because you want to soak these very profound, life-changing ideas into your psyche. It was hard for me to concentrate on the rest of the book during my first reading, because I was so excited about the implications of my expected change in thinking, and how I would tell others. What you'll learn is that being a reacter to problems doesn't result in peace of mind or success long-term. There are actual laws that he cites which explain the Structure of Tension which causes you to let go of all struggle and be powerfully pullled toward completion of ANYthing you want to accomplish.
In this book, he tells when you think of a goal, that you need to separate what your brainwashed mind think what is impossible, from what you reallly want. You'll see that the stress of repeatedly lying to yourself throughout your life about what you want can slowly but surely impact your health even! If you set goals that are based on what your fears tell you that you are limited to, but not what you *really want*, this wears on you physically.
Forget what your current environment or conditions tell you. THOSE DON'T MATTER! Just change to another "Structure" which leads to creation, not one that will swing you back and forth between struggles to fixing a problem, then...aaallllllmost getting there, but then the rubber band of the "Reactive" Structure pulls you back toward giving up on your faulty "fix-your-exterior" behaviors.
Fritz mentions that he studied Metaphysics in his life, but wasn't much interested in them; however, this topic can't avoided, and you'll see how when you are in the correct Structure of Creating, and you simply make a decision to create something, that this sets powerful acts of force in your favor. Between sessions of actually working on your project, like walking the dog or taking a shower, your subsconscious goes to work and pulls from the collective conscious of Man EXACTLY what you need to create what you decided to create. He includes this in the examples, but not in the way I'm describing it. Don't worry, he doesn't write with the scatter-brained style of this review. You'll get it, and you'll be grateful for his simple four-step guide to Creating
One more thing: Fritz discounts all self-help techniques such as affirmations or long term therapies. Personally, NLP along with EFT has been a godsend to my ability to function in interviews lately, and to eliminate strong negative emotions in some encounters and recommend Unlimited Power by A. Robbins and any book on EFT. But I see what he's talking about with respect to focusing more on just being the Creative Being that you were meant to be, rather making your life into a matter of long term therapy-seeking and inner-child healing.
The Way to the Kingdom

Your soul will erupt into thru-the-roof Vibrations with this
May 31 2002
This review is from:
The Way to the Kingdom (Paperback)
Benner (the real name) is more known for his Impersonal Life classic, which I keep re-reading over and over to get better insight.
However, this book, Way to the Kingdom, will in a simpler language SOOO impress upon on you the importance of not allowing, not only thoughts that don't agree with the Truth (which is that there is only Abundance and Health), but also Feelings, into your consciousness. You will walk away from your first reading of the chapter: "As a Man Thinketh from his Heart", with the Knowing, not a flimsy belief, but the Knowing that you've always had it! You've always had the Way to the Kingdom. And that is the complete, to the level of your Soul and Heart consciousness, KNOWING that the secret to finally entering your own Heaven is the simple, but yes difficult, decision to not allow any non-Truth feelings or thoughts of guilt, anger, poverty, envy, self-pity, etc thoughts into your consciousness with any length of attention.
Yes, you've heard it before, but not in such a soul-enriching way as Benner's/Jennings book. And the thing is, he's one of the few spiritual writers who emphasizes the Feeling state you're in, versus just thinking Rightly. It's so important to watch how you're vibrating overall. Any bad feelings are false and are of this world.
Appearances don't matter! Your intellect of course wants your attention and to make you believe that outside appearances matter.
You will be reminded that that the "tramp" thoughts on which you allow your attention to remain are really just selfish thoughts, and that just reflect your own doubt about the Father in you.
As you succeed in "letting His Love motivate and vitalize every one [your thoughts] of them, so that they may be worthy and acceptable in the Father's sight," you will then be cleared of that gunk and be able to hear the voice from the Divine Mind that tells you how to act, what to say, and what to do in order to experience the Heaven and abundance that is naturally yours.
He will convince you that Life is as simple now, as it was then -- 1933 - and that is to "yield your consciousness over wholly to Him, so that no thoughts ever enter your mind that are not all beautiful, all good and all perfect."
There is no reason not to.
We're all beams of light, individualized from the One Light, who have forgotten WHO WE ARE. We'd rather adopt our beliefs and attitudes and illusions from the news or the latest reality-based show, than to really listen to what's inside. If you really listen to what comes from inside the next time you're in a quiet room, you'll be able to tell what is True and what is a false belief handed over to you that you accepted.
I felt it necessary to add another review so that you have enough to go on.
The Heart of the Soul: Emotional Awareness
by Gary Zukav

Dec 19 2001
This review is from:
The Heart of the Soul: Emotional Awareness (Hardcover)
If you have the Power of Now by Eckart Tolle and this transformed your life, then you would enjoy this too. It's Zukav's brilliant contribution to the overall importance of knowing what your body is feeling as often as possible while you're awake. ( for those who choose the unabridged audio version, if you like the way Zukav says: "precisely" as much as Oprah does, Gary gets this word in more than a couple of times ).
H.O.F.S. over and over reminds you that EVERY circumstance you encounter that trigger emotions, you can choose to end the cycle of these circumstances and learn the lesson by being conscious of what area of your body is experiencing. So it's an exhilirating reminder that bad stuff that happens that forces your choice of being conscious, or just reacting, can really be good, because this is the evolution of your Soul! Zukav points out the many people in our culture who use food, workaholism, or excessive busy-ness at home doing things as a way to avoid having to experience emotions and allowing their attention on that. This turns to disease if this goes on long enough.
This book also gets into the chakras, and Linda Francis, Gary's "spiritual partner", punctuates each chapter with an exercise to apply what Gary so eloquently explains. If you have Seat of the Soul, and/or Power of the Now, this is definitely recommended.
I struggle to give it 5 stars, because I don't equate it with books like my favorite: Neville's Resurrection, but it deserves more than 4 stars.

Viva Italia!

Just because you're not taking a summer sojourn to Italy (or even if you are), doesn't mean you can't enjoy some authentic Italian food right here in DC. We've rounded up five of our favorite, recently opened Italian hot spots. Go ahead. Live la dolce vita.
1. Osteria Morini
Chef and Owner Michael White named his new restaurant after his mentor—Gianluigi Morini of San Domenico restaurant in Italy—and takes his cuisine cues from his time cooking in Italy's breadbasket, the Emilia-Romagna region, which is known as the birthplace of several standout Italian staples like prosciutto, mortadella, Parmigiano, and balsamic vinegar.
THE DISH Get a taste of the breadbasket's fantastic fare with Executive Chef Matt Adler's plump ravioli stuffed with swoonworthy truffled ricotta and lavished with melted butter. 301 Water St. SE, 202.484.0660
2. Alba Osteria
Chef Roberto Donna's recently opened resto was inspired by his hometown of Alba in the Piedmont region.
THE DISH Try the trofie alla finanziera, with chestnut corkscrew pasta, sweetbreads, veal brains, chicken livers and cockscombs. "You don't see it on the menu often here in the United States," says Chef De Cuisine Amy Brandwein. 425 I St. NW, 202.733.4454
3. Lupo Verde
Recently opened on 14th Street's bustling restaurant row, Lupo Verde (or "green wolf" in Italian) is named for co-owner Antonio Matarazzo's lush hometown of Avellino in Campania, Italy, and serves as the inspiration for many of the menu's housemade cheeses, pastas and prosciuttos.
THE DISH Get a taste of Avellino in Chef de Cuisine Domenico Apollaro's sopworthy lamb ragu-coated twisted matchsticks of striglie pasta. 1401 T St. NW, 202.827.4752
4. Fiola Mare
Chef Fabio Trabocchi is an arbiter of authentic Italian food in DC and, for his third restaurant outing, he took inspiration from the seafood-rich seaside towns of the Marche region, where he grew up. "I'm trying to recreate the experience of dining on the Mediterranean," he says of his Georgetown waterfront space.
THE DISH An extravagant trip down memory lane—the frutti di mare—includes Sunset Beach and Kumamoto oysters, head-on prawns, and steamed lobster tail and claws. 3050 K St. NW, Ste 101, 202.628.0065
5. Ghibellina
Co-owners Ari Gejdenson and Ralph Lee dreamed up this Italian gastropub after living—and eating—in Florence, Italy. Designed as a cozy spot for diners to feel at home, Ghibellina's menu is filled with bubble-pocked, char-spotted pizzas. Grab the accompanying shears for serving it up family style.
THE DISH The pizza—dotted with sausage, roasted onions and three cheeses—is a perfect tribute from Executive Chef Jonathan Copeland to the eatery's Florentine roots. 1610 14th St. NW, 202.803.2389

What Would Spock Have to Say About Obama's Nuclear Deal with Iran?Wednesday, March 4th, 2015
Here's an excerpt from my favorite episode of Star Trek, "The City on the Edge of Forever", in which Spock conveys a message with painfully stark relevance to our world today, especially in the context of PM Netanyahu's speech to Congress.
Kirk and Spock have traveled back in time to the year 1930 in order to undo a disastrous change to history that was inadvertently caused by McCoy. After extracting the relevant information from his tricorder, Spock shows Kirk exactly how history diverged:
Spock: "This is how history went after McCoy changed it. Here, in the late 1930's. A growing pacifist movement whose influence delayed the United States' entry into the Second World War. While peace negotiations dragged on, Germany had time to complete its heavy-water experiments."
Kirk: "Germany. Fascism. Hitler. They won the Second World War."
Spock: "Because all this lets them develop the A-bomb first. There's no mistake, Captain. Let me run it again. Edith Keeler. Founder of the peace movement."
Kirk: "But she was right. Peace was the way."
Spock: "She was right, but at the wrong time. With the A-bomb, and with their V2 rockets to carry them, Germany captured the world."
In the altered version of history, a peace movement headed by Edith Keeler convinced the US government to enter into peace negotiations with Nazi Germany. Germany took advantage of these negotiations in order to buy time to develop and build nuclear weapons. By the time the US entered the war, it was too late: The Nazis had nuclear weapons, won the war, and conquered the world.
Kirk is startled and disturbed by the implication: By choosing to negotiate peace instead of going to war, the US allowed the world to be swallowed up by Nazism: "But she was right", he says in his confusion. "Peace was the way." (Kirk's naivete is perhaps understandable, coming as it does from someone who grew up on an Earth that had been at peace for centuries.)
Spock, however, corrects Kirk's misconception: "She was right, but at the wrong time." Peace is the ultimate goal, but sometimes war is the only logical choice. When one is confronted with evil, it is the wrong time to negotiate peace. One does not appease evil or negotiate with it — one must destroy it, or else the repercussions may be catastrophic. Only when the threat of evil is removed is peace possible.Moshe Matitya

Martinez to allow time off for teacher conferences
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez has signed an executive order that will allow state workers to take time off to attend parent-teacher conferences.
The governor signed the order Wednesday and [auth] urged other local government agencies and private employers to make similar accommodations for their workers.
Martinez says parents are the best partners teachers can have and she wants to encourage parents to be as engaged as possible in their children's education.
Under the governor's order, state employees can take up to eight hours of administrative leave during the school year to attend parent-teacher conferences. That's four hours each for the fall and spring semesters.
The state personnel office still has to write guidelines for how the leave will be applied for and administered.

A warning to folks thinking of improving home page ranking with this plugin - DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!
At least not with YouTube videos.
Yoast does warn that this plugin doesn't currently work well with YouTube videos (somewhere in the documentation).
Not realizing; I uploaded a YouTube video to my home page using this plugin - and waited to see how it would affect our ranking.
Took a while; but finally - shock & disbelief!
We had been #4-8, on the first page of Google for the keyword "bidet" for the last 4 years.
With my "YouTube video addition" we got dumped back to #7 on the 3rd page of Google!
Worst part is: I removed the video, but despite updating xml sitemaps, a reconsideration request to to the Big G, and much other general jerking about - our site has remained with this same poor ranking - 1 month later.
Our Meta Title and description is all messed up in the Google cache as in:
with a bidet!: Bidet Sales Australia | Make your life better today
Jan 23, 2009 – Online Store specializing in hand held bidet sprayers, bidet toilet seats & complete 'toilet integrated' bidet kits. Easy installation - guaranteed...
Current Meta title and description actually reads:
Bidet Sales Australia | Make your life better today - with a bidet!
Online Store specializing in hand held bidet sprayers, bidet toilet seats & complete 'toilet integrated' bidet kits. Easy installation - guaranteed quality.
That: "Jan 23, 2009 –" date at the front of Google's cached description, is what WP Video SEO put there with the YouTube video, and obviously why we are still ranking so badly ONE MONTH AFTER removing the video.
Why the messed up meta title - I don't know. But this was only AFTER putting the YouTube video on the home page - with Yoast's WP Video SEO plugin enabled.
Be warned: Google is currently god of the Internet!
They DON'T CARE if your business goes bust, because of a simple SEO mistake that you (or they) might make.

I am have a string with 6 spaces, e.g. 000000. Each space can hold one of three digits - 0, 1, or 2. I know that I can get a total of 120 permutations using the Permut function in Excel, i.e. =PERMUT(6,3) = 120. But I would actually like to have each individual permutation in a cell, e.g. 000001, 000010, etc.. Ideally, the end result would be 120 rows of unique 6-digit IDs.
Please help if you know a faster way of accomplishing this without entering the figures manually.

Of course, it would be considered political and economic heresy to suggest that the country return to the tax rates that Ronald Reagan put in place. Tp rate? 50 percent. Ah, those were the days.

GREENVILLE, N.C. (AP) - Bond was more than doubled Monday for Houston guard Kevin Gaines after court officials learned he was also wanted in Michigan on check forgery charge.
Gaines was arrested early Sunday on a charge of assault on a female after the Cougars lost their game Saturday against East Carolina, 63-46. Houston coach Ray McCallum suspended the sophomore and disciplined three other players.
Gaines' bond, originally set at $5,000, was increased Monday to $10,300, and he remained in the Pitt County Jail.
Greenville police responded to a complaint of a breaking and entering of a vehicle at 2:17 a.m. Sunday, police said Monday in a news release. They arrested Rondel Christopher Curtis on charges of larceny from a vehicle and possession of stolen goods.
Curtis was being held on $35,000 bond.
Maj. K.M. Smeltzer said Gaines was with Curtis at the time the car was broken into. A girlfriend of the car owner got into a verbal argument with Gaines which led to the assault, Smeltzer said.
Several people had to pull Gaines off of the woman, Andrea Minchew, who filed a complaint with police, Smeltzer said.
Minchew, 24, of Nashville, N.C., told Houston television station KRIV that she was in her friend's car, which had been broken into, when Gaines came walking down the road and threw a beer can at it.
"I get out and I said, 'Excuse me sir, but why did you throw a beer can at my car for?' He started using foul language and everything, and I said, 'Sir, why'd you throw a beer can at my car?' He said, 'I didn't.' I said, 'Yes you did, I just sat here and watched you."'
Minchew said Gaines put his hand around her throat and pushed her backward. "So I picked up my foot and kicked him off me," she said. She said Gaines started to swing at her but she blocked that with her left hand.
In Houston, McCallum on Sunday suspended senior guard Dominic Smith, junior guard Marcus Oliver and junior forward Louis Truscott for violation of team rules.

Configuring a local development linux box I'd like to have some sneaky Apache2 configuration which would do the following, when I request 'sub.domain.tld.local':
1.) Serve from: vhost/domain.tld/sub/htdocs/
2.) If there's no such directory, serve from: vhost/sub.domain.tld/htdocs/
3.) If there's no such directory, serve from: vhost/domain.tld/htdocs/
'.local' is just a static "suffix" which should not match any directory.
My current configuration looks like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAlias *.local
UseCanonicalName Off
VirtualDocumentRoot "/vagrant/host/%-2+/htdocs/"
VirtualScriptAlias "/vagrant/host/%-2+/htdocs/"
This works well for 2) or 3) but not in the manner of "crawling" the directory structure and falling back from 1) to 2) to 3). Preferably I'd like to only use the VirtualDocumentRoot directive somehow without any rewrite rules.
If it won't work without rewrites, I'm of course okay with that too.
Any idea how to solve that?

When Mr Roofer first visited Mrs Kelley, she explained that she could hear what sounded like water drops on the ceiling in her bathroom. There was no evidence of a roof leak, i.e., a water stain or water marks, to reference in order to accurately determine the source of any water intrusion. Upon looking over her roof, there were some exposed rusted nail heads discovered above the general area that she determined to be over her bathroom. With nail heads "sticking up about an inch" Mr Roofer suggested that this could be the source of her leak. After waiving our minimum repair cost of $495, Mr Roofer agreed to make the repairs in this area for $300. Unfortunately, the repairs made were not at the source of the leak. It is possible there were other nails that had been missed during the initial general overview of the roof. As a result, Mr Roofer has offered Mrs Kelley a full refund of her payment. As of yet, Mrs Kelley has not accepted the refund.
We never had a roof replaced before and was worried about the time to get it done, the mess and the quality of the work. We selected Mr. Roofer on the recommendation of a neighbor and we are happy we did. They made getting my roof replaced quick and painless and provided good customer service in the process.

salesman was great. a big reason I went with mr roofer (and the positive reviews). install started ok. rain came in the afternoon and they were a bit late getting tarp on. result was a few water marks on the ceilings. I spoke the salesman that night and he said they'd be back the next day and he had some spray to use on the water marks. they finished the next day with more promises of the spray for the ceilings (salesman wasn't around much and didn't have the spray when he was). when we inspected the roof before paying, we found the installers mangled the siding on one of the peaks. it appeared that all the shingles up against (slightly under?) the siding were just ripped out taking chunks of siding with them. it looked like animals had gnawed up and down the side of the house. obviously it was VERY noticeable (street side of house) and nobody cared to bring it to our attention. once we said something, the manager got involved and came out to look. he agreed it was butchered and had the crew replace the siding the next day. fortunately I still had some paint lying around to match the house. salesman was there too. apologized and again promised to get the spray for the ceilings. it's been about a month now. roof seems good (haven't really checked but may today!). no spray though. why say you'll do something 5 times but not do it?

We originally hired Mr. Roofer to make repairs on our rental properties and we were so impressed with their work that we decided to use them to replace the roof on our residence. Mr. Thomason was always accessible if we had questions about the work or a product they used. When in the preliminary stages of choosing shingles, we weren't bombarded with unnecessary suggestions for repairs or products, we never felt pressured by them to buy services we didn't need. The crew were respectful, prompt, professional and courteous. We felt safe leaving them to work on our house while we went about our days at work or otherwise. We ended up going with the GAF timberline HD shingles and were extremely pleased with the end result. The shingles were hand nailed as promised, the work was done quickly and efficiently. We liked these guys so much that we have suggested them to family and friends. I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing quality work done on their home or business.

Brad is totally down to earth and courteous. He is professional, knowledgable, and timely. I've been very happy from the time I got the quote through the roofing repairs. His crew is very nice and professional as well. They took immense care in the clean up. Mr. Roofer's pricing is competitive. I will definitely call them for future work! Highly recommended!

Brad and his team were professional and amazing to work with. They installed seamless gutters, new roof and skylights and also replaced rotten wood siding on my town-home. Interior trim work and painting done on the inside that is top notch! Could NOT be more satisfied! I will absolutely recommend this company to neighbors and friends. Thanks Mr. Roofer!!

Mr. Roofer of Atlanta is a professional roofing company and I had a great experience working with Brad, the owner. They installed new gutters on my house.

In edge and corner detection applications, it is typical to examine a single scale without knowing which scale is appropriate for each location in the image. However, many images contain a wide variation in the distance to the scene pixels and, thus, features of the same size can appear at greatly differing scales in the image. We present a method where the scale of the filtering and feature detection is varied locally according to the distance to the scene pixel, which we estimate through stereoscopy. The features that are detected are, thus, at the same scale in the world, rather than at the same scale in the image. This method has been implemented efficiently by filtering the image at a discrete set of scales and performing interpolation to estimate the response at the correct scale for each pixel. The application of this technique to an ordnance recognition problem has resulted in a considerable improvement in performance

We praise God for the continued ministry in which He has allowed us to participate. The Nilsens and Wolfes continue to serve faithfully in the Dominican Republic and the Pattons continue their work in Brazil. In 2009, we also were able to participate in Operation Christmas Child, supporting the local Headstart program and VBS continues to develop and grow! We also sent a couple different teams to the Dominican Republic on a short term basis. In 2009 Grace Church also joined in offical partnership with Rachel Knight as she serves three southern Darke County schools through Youth for Christ.
The Outreach Team is not supposed to be the only group of people responsible to reach out to a lost and dying world. We desire to assist the whole church in reaching out. We hope to do this by assisting more short-term teams to the Dominican Republic (including the youth group!), as well as emphasize church planting. We are looking to partner and participate in more church planting endeavors as well as raising up leadership within Grace who would be qualified to plant!
In 2010, Danny will be experimenting with "If You Could Ask God One Question" by Christianity Explored. This study (designed to introduce the faith) will be presented to any interested faculty/staff at Greenville High School. It is our desire, if it goes well, that this could be used in multiple formats in the community. We're also excited to be supporting Mike Walker (GHS graduate, youth group participant) as he serves a ministry in Omaha, NE.
For information about our Outreach ministry, contact Danny Wright (937.547.0065 or firstname.lastname@example.com).

My Reasons for Reporting This


text: DREAM COUNTRY Hi guys. This is my first team posted to Smogon, although I have laddered on the servers and lurked on the forums for quite awhile. This team peaked around #30 on Smogon DW Ladder (I forget my exact rank), which while not pants shittingly good, I think is still pretty decent. The title is taken on a whim, from a story arc in the Sandman comics. Give them a read if you haven't yet! INTRO/TEAM AT A GLANCE What if I could switch in Chandelure or Breloom for free using volt turn? This is the entire principle that my team is based on. Chandelure and Breloom are such powerhouses in the metagame - Chandelure's ability and sky-high special attack practically guarantees a KO everytime its switched in, while Breloom needs just a single turn to set up before taking a huge dump on the opposing team. The only weaknesses for these pokemon are their relative frailty, meaning that they can usually only be safely switched in after another team member dies, or in Chandelure's case, bringing it in on a predicted fighting move. But this problem is ELIMINATED with volt turn, giving me endless opportunities to switch in one of these two menaces unscathed and being a pain in the ass to my opponent. TEAM IN DETAIL: Chandelure (M) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Shadow Tag EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Overheat - Shadow Ball - Hidden Power [Ice] - Energy Ball Nothing much to say, everyone on the DW ladder is familiar with this guy. Basically nothing is safe from Chandelure besides pink blobs, as STAB overheat takes a big chunk out of everything, and the other moves provide coverage that is only resisted by a handful of pokemon. This guy nets me multiple kills each match unless I do something stupid. Occasionally Chandelure will double as a spin blocker for me, but usually I will let the opponent spin away hazards since if I mispredict and let Chandy die, half of my offensive presence is gone. HP Ice is invaluable as it gives me a good answer to dragon types, and also kicks Gliscor's ass, who would otherwise walk all over this team. Energy ball is for coverage (sup Gastrodon), while Shadow ball is a nice spammable attack late game. Breloom (M) @ Leftovers Trait: Technician EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk) - Substitute - Spore - Mach Punch - Bullet Seed I was kind of on the fence about technician Breloom, but boy was I wrong. Yeah, poison heal is awesome and protects from status yadda yadda, but technician just turns Breloom into an absolute offensive killer. Give it one turn to set up (hi walls!) and it will go on a fucking rampage. Its mediocre speed is kind of a letdown, but usually in matches Breloom will be behind a sub if it's against something that outspeeds it. Breloom's bullet seed decimates most pokemon on rain teams, while on sand teams, Breloom's mach punch checks Tyranitar and Excadrill. Leftovers on this guy to give it more survivability - the extra power from life orb is not needed as I want to keep it alive as long as possible. Scizor (F) @ Choice Band Trait: Technician EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SDef Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Bullet Punch - U-turn - Superpower - Pursuit Your basic CB Scizor and the first part of my volt-turn core, unchanged from diamond/pearl. What can I say about him that hasn't been said before? It makes for a fantastic pivot, boasting resistances to 10 of the 17 types. In particular, it is invaluable in tanking outrages, and in a pinch it can also take a draco meteor too if its at full health. Most of the time I am either U-turning or bullet punching - I only use Superpower or pursuit on rare occasions (to trap fleeing Latios/latias/choice scarfed chandelure, or if Blissey is the last pokemon for example). Scizor and Breloom make a fantastic late-game cleaning duo, with technician boosted bullet punch and mach punch doing ridiculous amounts of damage. Chansey (F) @ Eviolite Trait: Natural Cure EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Stealth Rock - Seismic Toss - Softboiled - Wish The glue to my team, whenever I think a high-powered attack is coming my way 90% of the time I switch to Chansey. It is my wall for both physical and special attacks, barring fighting moves which are taken with ease by both Xatu and Chandelure. With its beastly bulkiness, it is almost guaranteed to have a chance at some point during the game to set up stealth rocks for me, which are important since my volt turn strategy causes lots of switches. Softboiled and seismic toss are self-explanatory, while wish gives me a chance to keep the rest of my team members healthy. I am too lazy to do damage calcs, but eviolite chansey is roughly 100000000x bulkier than its evolution Blissey (scientifically speaking, a metric shit ton bulkier), and if played properly, just does not die. I wish I could fit in toxic somewhere to increase its offensive presence and maybe deal with last pokemon stat uppers though. One last thing - Chansey is usually my #1 switch in to Chandelure. If its choice scarfed, fine, but if its the calm mind variant then I am completely fucked. Xatu (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Magic Bounce EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk) - Reflect - Roost - U-turn - Psychic Dopeyness aside, Xatu counters a whole slew of random pokemon, including (but not limited to), Breloom, Ferrothorn, Forretress, etc. In addition, its 4x fighting resistance makes it a perfect switch in to fighting attacks aimed at Chansey. A bit about how I play with Xatu: My first priority is to keep hazards off my side - if I deem it necessary, I will sacrifice Xatu to achieve that. This means for example, that against lead Tyranitar, I will always switch in Xatu to reflect back stealth rock. If Tyranitar uses crunch instead and KOs Xatu, I can switch in Scizor and nab momentum. If I play correctly, Xatu will keep hazards off my side of the team and still be in commission during midgame. Once that happens, its u-turn works in tandem with Scizor and Rotom, slowly chipping off my enemies health or giving Breloom or Chandelure a free switch in. In particular, u-turn also allows me to escape enemy Chandelure that think they can trap Xatu and nab a quick KO off shadow ball. Reflect is indispensable for Xatu, enhancing its survivability and allowing it to wall tons of physical pokemon (it even does fine against lead Tyranitar behind a reflect!). Psychic is purely to deal damage and takes a chunk out of some random pokemon. I primarily use it to deal with enemy Conkeldurr. I have tried using a rapid spinner in Xatu's place, but it did not meet my expectations and did not fit into the overall offensive playstyle of the team. First, I need u-turn to keep momentum, which all rapid spinners lack, and second I don't have a turn to waste rapid spinning when I could be doing something else. Rotom-W @ Choice Scarf Trait: Levitate EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) - Volt Switch - Hydro Pump - Trick - Sunny Day My ace in the hole. Nobody expects this moveset, and to be honest maybe its because its a little dumb, but I think the surprise factor more than makes up for it. Volt switch is obvious and completes my volt-turn core. Hydro miss I barely ever use, usually only when I predict that a electric immunity is switching in to take my volt switch. Trick is indispensable, and helps me take out threats that would otherwise kick my ass (stat uppers such as CM Keldeo come to mind). Finally, sunny day is what makes this set unique. Usually my opponent will see that I don't have a weather inducer and sacrifice their own, only for me to take away their weather with sunny day afterwards. With rotom's fantastic set of resistances and (sometimes) blazing speed thanks to his scarf, it can usually find an opportunity to change the weather. Unfortunately against sunny day teams this trick doesn't work, but the upper echelons of the DW ladder usually run sandstorm and rain. This guy is ALWAYS my lead. THREAT LIST: Maybe I'll go through a complete threat list when I have time, but for now I'll just list out the problem pokemon: DD Dragonite: In order to counter this badass, I have to a) break its multiscale, either with U-turn, volt switch, or SR, b) switch in Chandelure and hope it's not a CB variant, and c) risk the speed tie to take it out with HP ice. Sometimes HP ice doesn't KO bulkier versions, meaning I have to revenge with Scizor's bullet punch. I can also trick scarf onto him, although if it runs substitute I am boned. Chandelure: Breloom, Scizor, and Xatu are easily taken out by this guy, while Chansey is taken out by CM versions. If I see enemy Chandelure on team preview, I play very cautiously, as my only hope is to catch Chandelure on the switch with u-turn. Luckily CS versions are worn down by stealth rock, which Chansey sets up easily and 90% of all the Chandelures I've seen run scarf. Keldeo: CM versions are "countered" by tricking Rotom's scarf onto them. If that doesn't work I am fucked since water/fighting takes a big chunk out of everything. If I am backed up against a wall, I can take it out with a combination of Rotom's volt switch, chandelure's energy ball, and mach punch Breloom, but obviously if I'm sacrificing 2 or 3 pokemon to KO this guy, it does not fit under the definition of "counter". Morning sun volcarona: Usually I bring in Chansey against Volcarona. Without morning sun, Chansey narrowly beats it. If it does carry morning sun though, it can easily continue boosting and by the time I figure out it is a morning sun variant it is too late to disable it by tricking a scarf onto it. CONCLUSION I'm really proud of this team, and I think the premise behind it is very powerful. This team is played very offensively with the exception of Xatu and Chansey. Roughly, the gameplan is as follows: In the early stages of the match, I try to set up Stealth rock and keep enemy hazards off my side of the field. In mid game, I volt turn to slowly whittle down my opponent's pokemon, although if there is a chance to switch in Breloom or Chandelure, I usually go for it as usually it means that I can take out a pokemon or two and put my opponent too far behind to catch up. Finally in late game, I attempt to sweep, depending on who is left. This is not a problem, as 4 of my 6 pokemon can function as late-game cleaners. CS Rotom and Chandelure naturally have high speed and spatk, while Breloom and Scizor can put severe hurt on the opponent with their technician boosted STAB priority moves. Finally as a side note, it is usually not the end of the world if the opponent manages to get a few entry hazards up: 3 of my pokemon are immune to toxic spikes, 2 are immune to spikes, and stealth rock is super effective on 2 of my pokemon. However I would like to disregard Chandelure in these calculations. Yeah its opportunities to switch in become more limited, but the way I play it, I only switch in Chandelure if it is for free and if it is guaranteed to take out the opposing pokemon. If I really get the opportunity to only switch in 3-4 times, that's ok because it means that I'm taking out 3-4 of the opponent's pokemon putting me in the lead anyways. That being said, this team does have definite problems. In addition to the threats I covered above, I find sometimes that the team is too reliant on prediction (read: luck). Feel free to suggest any changes you want, in keeping with the theme of the team. I would love to tinker with it more. That's it, and thanks for reading!

Evil Plans by Hugh MacLeod – A Book Review
"Everybody needs an evil plan. Everybody needs that crazy, out-there idea that allows them to actually start doing something they love, doing something that matters. Everybody needs an Evil Plan that gets them the hell out of the rat race, away from lousy bosses, away from boring, dead- end jobs they hate. Life is short. Thanks to the Internet , it has never been easier to have an Evil Plan, to make a great living, doing what you love, doing something that matters".
These are words that kick off the introductory chapter of Hugh MacLeod's new book, entitled Evil Plans – Having Fun on the Road to World Domination. Evil Plans picks up where Hugh's last book, Ignore Everybody left off. This book describes how ten years ago, he came up with his very own "evil plan" – to get 10,000 people a year to buy his stuff on the Internet. So he launched gapingvoid.com, which quickly gained him a reputation and mass following online for dark humour, common sense marketing and cartoons drawn on the back of business cards. Since those early days, he has set up his own online art gallery that sells his artwork to fans from around the world.
Much like the idea of Cube Grenades, the book is designed to provoke a reaction and stir a call to action. If there's one key message to take away from the book it is this:
Many people can make "a good living doing what they love, doing something that matters, becoming the person that they were born to be despite the odds. Finding that. Doing that. Discovering "the Hunger" that lives inside us all". Think about what you are passionate about, is it better than the job you have today?
Indeed, it is this creative "hunger" that burns inside many of us that Hugh wants to set free. Even though each chapter is just a few pages, it contains golden nuggets of insight to help you formulate your own evil plan. During my reading, I often paused and went back to previous chapters just so I could wrestle with the points in my head and absorb Hugh's wise words a little longer. The text and message are both explosive stuff.
Evil Plans is a book I wish I had been given just after I had left university. It is one of those defacto book's that should be given by ALL mentors to their mentees. The following excerpts are some of my favourites passages in the book. I find them inspiring and I hope you do too.
- "Seth Godin once said, "You can't drink any more bottled water than you already do, Or buy more wine, or more tea. You can't wear more than one pair of shoes at a time, You can't get two massages at once. So, what grows? What do marketers sell that scales? I'll tell you what: Belief. Belonging. Mattering. Making a difference. Tribes. We have an unlimited need for this. It's not what you make, it's what you believe in [A lesson for all marketers here].
- We like telling stories because they defy the odds and that is what gives us hope. Hope of filling in our own "narrative gaps", Whatever your Evil Plan might be, there has to be some sort of adventure, some sort of "triumph over adversity" baked in. Otherwise, people won't want to talk about it, and your story won't spread. People aren't merely buying your product, your Evil Plan; they are buying the story you are telling… a story that's not just about you, but about them, and what they could be.
- How do you get your stuff on the radar screen of the "The Twenty"? By creating brilliant stuff. By creating brilliant stuff that "speaks" to the market in a way it has never been spoken to before. If your stuff is different enough that it changes "the conversation" of your market for the better, other folk will notice even the Big Boys. "Improve the conversation by improving the language". All great marketing breakthroughs are evolutions of language.
- If your boss won't let you articulate your evil plan during company hours, quit. A good boss wants her employees to have their own sense of sovereignty and destiny. Why on earth would you tolerate a boss who didn't?
- …once your Evil Plan starts getting traction, you'll start noticing a much more polarized world begin to emerge, People who love what you do. and people who utterly despise it.
- Steal time every day. You can only live life to the full in the moment, the past and present are distractions.
- Your Evil Plan won't make your life any easier. In fact, it'll probably make it harder. But knowing that beforehand will make the experience of being alive, here and now, far richer and more enjoyable. I happen to think it's worth it.
I found the book spoke to me in many different ways. It is a very handy motivational tool and a marketing book. But, mostly it speaks to the hearts and minds of those that have the potential to change the world for the better. Are you one of these people? I'd like to think I am one of them. Learn more about the background of book and Hugh's ideology on his Gaping Void blog.
I highly recommend reading it, a fantastic follow up to Ignore Everybody.

Ignore Everybody: And 39 Other Keys to Creativity– A Book Review
Ignore Everybody: And 39 Other Keys to Creativity is based upon the hugely successful, Change This Manifesto, entitled "How to be Creative". Building upon his earlier work, Hugh MacLeod brings together his collective wisdom of thoughts on creativity.
As Steve Clayton describes, there are a number of stand our chapters in this book. In particular, the following chapters stood out for me:
Chapter 8 "Keep your day job" with the excellent description of Hugh's Sex and Cash Theory.
Chapter 11, "The more talented somebody is, the less they need the props". This chapter serves to remind us that the tools aren't important. True creativity comes from within, regardless of the tools used.
Chapter 3 "Put The Hours In" stuck a particular chord, where Hugh states "Doing anything worthwhile takes forever. Ninety percent of what separates successful people and failed people is time, effort and stamina".
And Chapter 18, "Merit can be bought, Passion can't". In this chapter, Hugh states that: "The only people who can change the world are people who want to. And not everybody does".
Absolutely. Sometimes, being passionate about something and wanting to change things is great. However, it is important to remember that not everyone may feel the same way.
Overall, the book is an easy read, with Hugh's unique blend of wit, genius and dark humour. Though his cartoons have been available on Gaping Void for years. It is a real treat to finally have some of them available in book form.
Ignore Everybody is a book that can be summed up with one of Hugh's own cartoons (see above). It enriches your understanding on ways that creativity can prosper. Whilst at the same time Hugh simplifies the process, with tales from his own experiences.
I wouldn't just recommend this book for people seeking new ways to be creative. This is a book I would thoroughly recommend for mums, dads, friends, lovers, co-workers and neighbours. Ignore Everybody is a book for everyone. We all display creativity in our everyday lives and Hugh's book helps us to remain focused. A common sense book for modern times.
If you want to get a flavour for the book, sample chapters are available here.
Ignore Everybody is available for pre-order on Amazon and will be published by Portfolio on June 11, 2009.
With thanks to Maureen at Penguin Books for the advance copy of this book.

Okay guys, I'm literally having a nervous breakdown right now. I tried editing one line of the filters.php file of the theme I'm using to get rid of a thumbnail showing up in the single post. This is what the forum said to do:
"It's possible to do that in library/filter.php.
comment this line like this: // $postheader .= '

'; this is entry-photo the class name of the thumbnail.
This will avoid the thumbnail in the header of the post."
So that's what I did and when I selected Update File anytime I try to view of edit my site I get this error message: "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/content/45/4604345/html/wp-content/themes/arras-theme/library/filters.php on line 4"
Even when I try to go to home/content/45/4604345/html/wp-content/themes/arras-theme/library/filters.php I can't because I get that error.
If you go to my site, http://www.techgeec.com, you'll probably see it. I really need some help and if anyone can help me out it would be GREATLY appreciated!

Wow, this place is horrible! The numerous "NO REFUNDS" signs at the ticket window should have been our first clue. Second, I used the women's restroom in the locker room and was absolutely disgusted. Toilet paper and dirty socks all over the floor, unflushed toilets in each stall, no toilet paper available, etc. That should have been clue #2. The black runs were more like difficult greens/easy blues. The chairlift servicing a majority of the greens (for our beginning friends) was not running. How could not service your greens?! A Ski Patrol guy said they rarely turn that chair lift on. Speaking of chairlifts, they are so old and slow. They're awkward to get on and off of. The operators are worthless. A friend of mine fell while getting off, but the operator was too busy smoking a cigarette to notice chair after chair of skiers unloading on top of my friend. Finally he heard us yelling for us to turn the lift off! The cafeteria was horrible too. They were so slow and unprepared to make food, we waited FOREVER for a slice of pizza and grilled cheese. My boyfriend did say that he liked the grooming and snow conditions but we will NEVER go back here. I will go back to Mt. Holly instead.

Halloumi and Couscous Cakes
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 10 mins
Haloumi and couscous cakes flavoured with lemon zest and parsley, and served with a simple refreshing baby spinach salad with slices of smoked salmon, or with your favourite salad. This recipe is from the November/December 2005 issue of the 'donna hay magazine: turn simple into special'. I haven't yet made these cakes; I just bought the magazine today! But for me this recipe had that instant must-be-tried-soon appeal! In posting the recipe, I have separated the cakes from the side salad (I have included details of the salad in the Directions) as I thought it would be more useful for those watching fat content or calories to know the nutritional information for the cakes. In posting the recipe, I have reduced the oil used in cooking the cakes from 2 tablespoons to 11/2 tablespoons. The oil could, of course, be considerably more reduced if the cakes were cooked in the oven on trays. Donna Hay is a well-known and popular Australian chef.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup cooked couscous
- 180 g halloumi cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest, finely grated
- 1⁄2 cup flat leaf parsley
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Place the couscous, haloumi, lemon zest and parsley in a food processor and process for 1 minute or until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs; then shape 1/4 cups of the couscous mixture into round cakes.
- Heat a non-stick pan over a medium heat; add the oil; cook the cakes in batches for 2-3 minutes each side or until golden; transfer the finished cakes onto a plate lined with absorbent paper towelling, and keep warm while you cook the remaining cakes.
- SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve the haloumi and couscous cakes with baby spinach leaves and slices of smoked salmon with lemon slices. If you like a dressing on your salad, Donna Hay combines 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and tosses the smoked salmon slices and baby spinach leaves in the dressing to combine, and serves it with lemon wedges.
- NOTES: Suggested quantities - in the original recipe - for the side salad: 7 ounces (200g) smoked salmon slices, 21/2 (70g) ounces baby spinach leaves. On Donna Hay's website - http://www.donnahay.com.au/ - is a conversion table and a list of commonly used ingredients - and what they are generally called in Australia and America. In many cases, I think we actually use what she has said is the American name and in some cases, the recipes on Zaar use what she has said is the Australian name! Curious! But some of these "translations" of terms and names could well be useful!

These are very tasty! This was my first experience with Halloumi and I quite enjoyed it. I was short on parsley and the only other fresh herb I had available was basil so I added a few leaves of that with the parsley. Otherwise, I followed the recipe. I cooked my couscous (1/2 c dry w/ 3/4 c water) with a tiny bit of chicken bouillon. Served with lettuce, dressed with Super Simple Tropical Dressing, though I think the suggested spinach & salmon would also be good. Thanks for the recipe!
Very good but bit crumbly.
Only five ingredients! Wow! I added some fresh basil to the mix, too. To flatten the cakes uniformly I utilized my handy tortilla press. Six smaller cakes were formed although a few fell apart when I cooked them. I didn't have quite enough halloumi for the recipe so I subbed a little bit of feta and asiago. Delicious and ~Tasty Dish~ approved! Thanks for posting! Served with a tossed salad, corn on the cob and fresh fruit.
