it's an internet thing!
it's an internet thing!
11:31 29 July 2013
Scientists, with the aim to prove that creating inaccurate recollections of the past is very easy, have successfully implanted false memories of an event that never happened into the brains of mice.
A study in the 1970s has proven that human memory can be highly unreliable. The study, which involved eyewitness testimonies, showed that simple changes in how a question was asked could influence the memory for the witness. It is believed many people were wrongly convicted when eyewitness testimonies alone were used. Some people where later exonerated by DNA evidence.
Xu Liu, part of the research team, told The Independent: "False memory in humans often results from mixing different sources of information or confusing something thought or imagined with reality."
He added: "In our study we brought back an old memory in the mouse brain and artificially associated it with a real stimulus, thus we generated a new memory for an event that never happened in reality. This illustrated one possible way how false memory can form in humans."
"It might be hard to imagine that mice have memories, but like other biological traits, memory is essential to life and thus is conserved throughout the animal kingdom, from sea slug, fruit flies, to mice and human."

electrostatic force with UDF
I am modeling the air flow which is driven by the ionic wind.
I want to include an electrical body force into the Momentum equations to solve the flow field. I already have the electrical field results (voltage and space charge density) in the format of notepad files. How do I use UDF to do this? Do I need to use "DEFINE_SOURCE" to add a source term on each momentum euqation (x, y and z)? Or how should I do it? How do I read a .txt file into Fluent?
Any help or suggestion would be greatly apprecited! Thanks.
magnetostatic field in fluent
Hi Jinfeng,
I am also doing almost the same thing(rather trying to do :) ),In my case I have to incorporate a magnetostatic body force term in the fluent solver.
Yes, you are absolutely on the right track...you have to use the define_source macro to do that.Just compute the expression of the force in N/m3 unit (because source terms of momentum equation have to be of that unit) for any cell inside the domain...I mean u don't have to loop over the cells.Fluent will do it for you.Just use the passed cell variable c to access cell properties like temperature (c_t macro),centroid of the cell (c_centroid macro) etc . if you need them.
For my case as the field expression is fairly simple I can calculate it in the udf itself.If it is problematic for you,you can possibly read data file (your field) in the udf ,check udf manual...
The problem however in my case is to linearize the source term.For my case it depends on temperature gradient and other parameters which are independent of the flow.So I am confused how to linearize it if at all.
one more thing do anyone know how to access the adjacent cell properties ?because I have to calculate temperature gradient and as fluent does not offer such thing directly I might have to use finite difference formula to compute it from the temperature values of the adjacent cells....
You do not need to linearize, unless you benefit from it in solver stability.
You can see in the UDF manual how to access adjacent cell properties. The gradients are available directly, however. C_T_G(c,t) is the temperature gradient vector in the cell, for example. You might need to specify that the solver shall not remove gradient data from memory, if you require at some point the gradient of a variable that is not currently solved for. How to do this is also written in the UDF manual.
Hope this helps.
Thanks HenrikS
Yeah I am actually shaping up to do that (c_t_g), although in manual they clearly said it requires a bigger RAM....I have 1 gb ram...just wondering if it will drink up all the memory...I'll give it a definite try.....
I guess that will depend on the size of your mesh. I have used it several times and I have never had any problems. Good luck! :-)

By Bob Vander Plaats
The numbers in the first scientific poll of the 2010 GOP primary, published last week by The IowaRepublican.com, are helping bring the race into clearer focus. The poll told us a few things we already knew about Gov. Chet Culver's vulnerability and our party's growing opportunity for victory – and it even contained one or two surprises that the pundits may or may not admit.
As expected, well-liked former four-term Governor Terry Branstad holds a lead today over Culver, who is an unmitigated first-term disaster. It also indicates continued, overwhelming support for a position I've clearly staked out: Iowans want to vote on the marriage issue.
Not as expected was the narrow margin Governor Branstad would have at the moment in a GOP primary. For those who missed the poll results, Branstad leads Culver 53-46 percent but in a GOP primary his edge shrinks to the margin of error. (Branstad 35 percent, Vander Plaats 31 percent, 19 percent undecided and the rest of the field in low-to-mid single digits.) As TIR founder Craig Robinson accurately observes, "Branstad takes all of the oxygen out of the room for all the Republican primary candidates except for Bob Vander Plaats."
Running for office, especially statewide office, is not something that a rational person takes lightly, especially someone who has been in the arena before. After six years in the legislature, four years as lieutenant governor, 16 years as governor several primaries and eight general elections, no one knows better than Terry Branstad the sacrifices one makes to run for and hold public office.
I respect Terry Branstad as a seasoned politician. He's perfectly capable of making up his own mind without my advice so I'll leave it up to him to decide whether he wants to seek a return to public service.
My sense is the results of the IowaRepublican.com poll speak as much to our party's future as it does to the past or present. The strong support Iowans have for a Vander Plaats candidacy is an indication that they want a governor who is going to lead them to a future where Iowa is a place with a vibrant economy, world-class schools, access to excellent health care, a hand up to those in need, energy independence, and one that embraces a stewardship mentality toward our natural and fiscal resources.
It's an indication they want a governor who will truly represent their values, aspirations, priorities and goals. Finally, it's proof that Iowans do want a governor who will stand up to the courts, defending the powers of our executive branch as well as the institution of marriage. They want a governor – and a gubernatorial nominee – who does more than just wring his hands and complain "there's nothing we can do" when an activist court ignores the will of the people.
Those who criticize me seem to make two claims: I'm focused on the single issue of same-sex marriage and this isn't my first campaign for governor. Ask yourself, did I build a strong statewide network over the past seven years by talking solely about an Iowa Supreme Court opinion that wasn't even issued until this spring? Of course not!
Iowans needed to hear that someone in this race will stand up for their right to vote on the most bedrock issues facing our state – the definition of marriage. Conservatives needed to know they have a voice who will speak for them. But it certainly is not the only issue I've discussed as I've traveled our state.
Since January, I've called Chet Culver to task for his legacy of overpromising and under-delivering in so many public policy areas. I've criticized his plan to make Iowa businesses and individuals pay to participate in a health-care forum he was arranging for the Obama administration. I've talked about the need to redesign our state's education system and tax structure, standing squarely against the Democrats' plan to eliminate our right to deduct federal taxes from our state returns. I've pointed out that Chet Culver's budget numbers and bonding proposal just don't add up. I've talked about human services, transportation, agriculture, the environment and much more. As this campaign progresses, I'll be talking about all the issues that concern Iowans – just as I have in the past.
We know the race is far from over and a lot of hard work, grassroots organizing, travel and fundraising are ahead. In fact, I haven't officially entered the race but look to do so in a matter of weeks. I encourage you to follow our campaign closely through our website, www.teamvp2010.com, through Twitter updates, Facebook and, of course, TheIowaRepublican.com. And, I ask for your support so we can take back the governorship in 2010 and get this state back on the right course.

Reflecting on almost 2 years of renovation work.
"Our Tour" doesn't just represent a change of address, it represents a whole changement de vie.
The adventure started 3 years ago when we toyed with the idea of buying a small second residence in Normandy. My husband is from the region and we wanted to be closer to family and near the sea. But the more time we spent in Normandy, the more we realized that we didn't want a second residence. We wanted a new home and the new life that came with it.
We visited some beautiful properties, though most were either too expensive or too much work. In the beginning we were looking for something easier, which is ironic considering the huge project we later embarked on.
Then there was the one that got away. A nice little home with not a lot of interior work and an already amazing garden. We tried to close that deal for a whole summer before having it slip through or fingers for reasons we didn't understand. C'est la vie. It wasn't meant to be.
6 months later we found "our Tour". The price was more than right and in our enthusiasm for the potential we saw all around, we decided to make it the project of a lifetime. My husband often tells me "we're never doing this again". And that's OK, because at least we got to do it once.
Left: Living room after full demolition and repointing | Right: The tower stairwell
And so we started working. But before things got better, they got worse. A lot worse. If you've ever done demolition work you know what I mean. It seemed like we were just destroying stuff for over a year and that the livability of the house kept getting further and further away.
So much left to do. Everything left to do. Still no plumbing, no heat… This year we'll tackle it all. At the same time we'll try to unlock some of the mysteries of our Tour: Who were the original inhabitants and how did they relate to the history of Bayeux?
Left: Cathedral de Notre Dame, Bayeux | Right: Inscriptions found in our stairwell
We did, however, manage to make it the bare slate we wanted and needed it to be in order to uncover any trouble spots hidden by more recent renovation work. We wanted the house to breathe, to insure its basic structure, and to give it a new life starting from its "bones". Once those bones were exposed we were able to solidify them and a second stage of really making it a livable home is now in full swing.
So, this is the road we're on and there's no turning back. It's not easy, but there's no where else I want to be.

BOSTON -- No. 14 is 0-for-14.
Now, Jim Rice has one chance left to be elected to the Hall of
Fame by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
Rice fell short by just 16 votes Tuesday in his 14th year on the
ballot -- and perhaps his best opportunity for election by the
writers. He received 392 votes (72.2 percent), up from 346 (63.5
percent) last year but 16 shy of the 75 percent needed.
The former Boston Red Sox slugger will appear on the writers'
ballot for the final time next year, when career steals leader
Rickey Henderson will be among the newcomers.
Relief pitcher Rich "Goose" Gossage was the only player
"Today's results are obviously a disappointment," Rice said in
a statement issued by the Red Sox. "I believe my accomplishments
speak for themselves, and a majority of the voters seem to agree.
"It is tough to come this close, but I remain hopeful for the
2009 results. I appreciate all the kind words from so many players,
including Rich Gossage, and I congratulate Goose on his
well-deserved election today."
Gossage was elected on his ninth try. He fell short by 21 votes
last year.
"I think Jim Rice does belong in the Hall of Fame," Gossage
said. "No hitter scared me, but Jim Rice came the closest."
Rice wore No. 14 throughout his 16 major league seasons, all
with the Red Sox. He batted .298 with 382 home runs and 1,451 RBIs
from 1974-89 and will get one more chance before his fate is put in
the hands of the Veterans Committee. Players can remain for 15
years on the ballot distributed to 10-year members of the BBWAA.
Rice's chances seemed to improve this year because of the lack
of exceptional newcomers to the ballot. A player must be retired
five years to be eligible.
"I don't understand how some writers vote for somebody one year
and then they don't another year," former Red Sox teammate Rick
Miller said in a telephone interview after the results were
announced. "I don't care who's eligible. Why does your vote
change? It makes no sense to me."
Besides Henderson, among the other notable newcomers on next
year's ballot will be pitcher David Cone and first baseman Mark
An eight-time All-Star, Rice was a dominant hitter from 1975,
when he was runner-up to teammate Fred Lynn for AL Rookie of the
Year, until 1986, when Boston came within one out of a World Series
Rice's best season was 1978 when he hit .315 with 46 homers and
139 RBIs, winning his lone MVP award.
But in his last three seasons he hit a total of only 31 home
"I think it's too hard to get in the Hall of Fame in baseball.
If you look at every other sport, it's easier to get in," Miller
said. "His numbers, I think, are as good as some guys that are in
the Hall of Fame."
The last Red Sox player to be elected was Wade Boggs in 2005.
The other eight Red Sox who are in the Hall of Fame are Joe Cronin,
Bobby Doerr, Rick Ferrell, Carlton Fisk, Jimmie Foxx, Lefty Grove,
Ted Williams and Carl Yastrzemski.
Rice might still make it. Of the 20 other players who received
70-75 percent of the vote, all eventually were elected -- though
some were voted in by the Veterans Committee.
The highest percentage for a player who wasn't elected later was
63.4 by Gil Hodges in 1983, his final time on the ballot.
No one has been elected in his final year of BBWAA eligibility
since 1975, when Ralph Kiner was chosen. Rice can break that
"He was one of the most dominant players of his time," Miller
said. "I think he should be in the Hall of Fame."

We each use a large number of services every day. Service design is a method for improving or creating a service. Taking a service design approach means looking at a service though the eyes of the people using it. This involves spending time with those people and ensuring you experience a service for yourself as much as possible. As you are then starting from the needs and requirements of service users, and looking for solutions together with these users and other stakeholders, it means a service is much more likely to do only what it is supposed to.
Service designers describe the 'journey' a service user (customer or patient) will go on through a service. The entire service journey needs to be understood before the individual elements that make up a service can be designed or improved. As you can imagine, each step in this journey might look completely different, like how an ambulance, paramedic's equipment, car park, hospital reception, hospital bed and hospital interior all form part of one service journey through A&E and to better health. As a result, in service design, a wide range of design and business disciplines need to come together, such as ethnography, consumer research, interaction and web design, product design, graphic design, interior design, service marketing and corporate strategy.
Designers are creative problem solvers that think visually and make things. This is important because they use prototypes and create things quickly and effectively in order to test them on people to see how and if they work. This makes designers and the work they do inherently 'people-centred' as things are created to fit the people that use them.
The SPIDER Project will be using service design to create opportunities and improve services for young people looking for work, training or to go into further education. The SPIDER Project will also be designing services that allow older people to live independently for longer.
If you are interested in learning more service design and service design tools please see the Resources section of the SPIDER website or contact us on firstname.lastname@example.com

Celebrating the Fourth of July in Lincoln, Kansas
July 4th, 1876
[A newspaper article from the July 5, 1876, edition of the
Saline Valley Register
covering the festivities of the U.S. Centennial Celebration in Lincoln. Transcribed from a microfilm copy of the paper by Bill Sowers]
A Gala Day at Lincoln Center
At early dawn the citizens of our village were awakened from their slumbers by the roaring of cannon, martial music and rounds of cheers for Columbia. Early in the morning long processions came pouring into town until every street and highway were filled. They were formed in regular order by the president of the day, D. W. HENDERSON, assisted by the Vice Presidents, and paraded the route marked out, halting at the Court House, where shady bowers and comfortable seats awaited them.
The Centennial Glee Club revived the audience with the Star Spangled Banner, Red White and Blue, Americas, and a number of other patriotic and soul stirring pieces. Prayers were offered by Rev. B. F. HENDERSON.
Dr. H. VERNON read the Declaration in a clear tone and forcible manner. Washington SMITH then read a historical sketch of the county which will be found on the first page of this paper.
The Lincoln Center Concert Band made the forests and prairies fairly ring with America's national airs. They made a fine appearance in their new regalia and brightly polished instruments. Dr. J. M. HODGE being introduced to the audience, held them with close attention for an hour, in a very interesting and pleasant speech. The Dr. is a good talker and was very highly complimented.
Col. W. W. BROWN also made a short but interesting speech. The closing oration was delivered by Dr. H. VERNON. The dinner which was spread made the oldest inhabitant blush at the thought of going through the entire bill of fare. Everything abounded in great variety and baskets full were carried away untouched. The entire day passed off pleasantly, with nothing to mar the enjoyment of the most refined.
The day's jubilee closed with a grand ball at the Court House in the evening, where all went merry until the night had faded away. It was a happy day, a grand day and one long to be remembered, by not only the people of this county but by millions of American freemen.

Just like any other big car manufacturer, Nissan is working hard on safety technologies in order to make its vehicles safer and keep customers satisfied. Today, the Japanese manufacturer revealed its latest safety features: Acceleration Suppression for Pedal Misapplication, Multi-Sensing System with Rear Camera and Predictive Forward Collision Warning System.
The first system - Acceleration Suppression for Pedal Misapplication – works in car parks or other confined areas and is capable to help drivers who have a moment of confusion and press the accelerator instead of the brake or pressing on the accelerator too hard.
Apparently, the system can recognize if the car is on a road or in a car park by using image signal data acquired by the Around View Monitor's four unit cameras.
Moreover, the system can also detect obstacles and automatically activates the brake in order to avoid a collision. The Multi-Sensing System with Rear Camera can detect people, other vehicles and road conditions in the rear and sides of the vehicle, and can alert drivers of possible collision risk.
This system will be available on the new models from 2012 and has the following three functions: Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning and Moving Object Detection. The Predictive Forward Collision Warning System will help drivers prevent pileup accidents resulting from the deceleration of vehicles in front and out of view.
When the system determines that the car needs to decelerate it will warn the driver in advance with a buzzer, signal on display, and also by tightening the seat belt.

The cigarette smugglers among us
Porous duty-free enforcement allows quick turnaround
Matt Potter 1:30 p.m., Nov. 17
(Page 2 of 3)
The next day, Felipa Osuna saw some Indians talking to her gardener. Two were Fitch's servants, the third, Juan Antonio. The trio had been meeting for several afternoons, she recalled.
They didn't know it, but Osuna understood their language and heard the plan: while Fitch was away, they'd sneak into his home when Josefa was kneading bread. They'd rob the store; kill Lawrence Hatwell, a despised American clerk; and, on horses waiting outside the back door, kidnap Fitch's wife Josefa and Osuna.
Osuna told her husband, Juan Marrón, the pueblo's chief administrator. He didn't believe her. But to be safe, and since there were only six males in town, Marrón ordered the women to ride to La Playa and stay with the "foreigners" — eight or ten English, American, and Hawaiian males — who worked there. The women would remain in the drying sheds until the danger passed.
Five miles west of the pueblo, less than an hour's ride on a good horse, La Playa was the center of Alta California's tanning industry. By 1837, five barn-sized structures and several makeshift sheds had become renowned for the ubiquitous stench emanating from thousands of cowhides cured in brine and hung to dry. Alfred Robinson dubbed the area "Hide Park."
"We arrived at sunset," writes Juana Machado. "There were many of us — the Pico women, and my family." Exiled from their homes and husbands, possibly forever, the women found themselves in another world: warehouses warped by rough boards; thousands and thousands of hides; hordes of seagulls and ten times as many flies; and men, wearing bright red shirts and flaring straw hats, talking in a strange tongue and reeking of tallow and death.
The uprooted women spent the night huddled in fear. Convinced that 300–500 natives would swarm the pueblo and burn it to cinders, they scanned the lowlands across the bay for the slightest stray flicker. They also feared that their "protectors," many of them sailors who'd jumped ship in San Diego, would take liberties. Few slept during what they later called "la noche triste" — "the sad night."
"The next morning," writes Machado, "the foreigners went with us to the pueblo." Led by their boss, John Steward, they stayed for a week, until "we were out of danger."
Not all the women went to La Playa. Since Captain Fitch was away, his wife had asked Osuna and her husband Juan Marrón to stay with her. Still unsure about the rumor, Marrón decided to set a trap. When nightfall came, he told Josefa, she should knead bread, as expected. He and Hatwell would hide behind the open door, a loaded pistol in each hand. If assailants arrived, they'd surprise them.
Josefa agreed to play decoy. After dark, as she began folding and smoothing dough on the dining-room table, two tall natives blocked the doorway. Marrón and Hatwell rushed them from behind and took them prisoner.
The next morning, as the women returned from La Playa, townspeople sent for Macedonio. He was staying across the river with Herculaneo Olivas, an old soldier. Macedonio formed a posse. After they rounded up the two Indians from the Fitch store, they stormed door to door through the pueblo.
"It was painful to see Macedonio's people running after the Indians like a pack of hunting dogs," writes Osuna. "Some were pulled out of their homes, others were lassoed as they tried to run away, terrified."
The plaza filled with shouts and screams. An Indian boy darted into Osuna's house and begged her to hide him. Too late. His pursuers burst in and dragged him outside.
One of Juan Bandini's servants confessed. He was supposed to open the doors at midnight, he said, but didn't want to because he loved the family. Bandini assured him he was safe.
Bandini told the posse to spare his servant. But Macedonio cinched a rope around his neck and took him with the others. Osuna says the boy was eventually set free "but suffered for the rest of his life until he died."
At sundown, Macedonio herded between five and ten suspects to a small canyon. He ordered them to dig a long trench. When they finished, he had them kneel along one side. Then he and his posse shot each in the back of the head. Bodies tumbled into the pit.
Later that night, Macedonio and his men rode up to the Presidio. They captured an Indian spy who was waiting for the cooks to report. He knew where the war party had camped.
When the spy refused to confess, Macedonio promised instant death. The Indian remained mute. So Macedonio drew his sword and hacked off an ear. He vowed to slash the other, writes William Davis, and mutilate the Indian "little by little until he made the statement required of him."
The Indian relented. After he told all he knew, Macedonio jammed the sword through his heart.
"This mode of extorting confession," writes Davis, "although repulsive to those who participated in it, was the only way of securing the desired information."
"These Jacum Indians were bold and brave," writes Janssens. "San Diego suffered much at their hands. If it had not been for the little frontier guard, commanded by a man as energetic as Macedonio, there would have been in the future terrible scenes in the town, and perhaps the destruction of everyone."
But, Janssens adds, "The violent execution without form of law brought sorrow to all the inhabitants, for no one had anticipated such a hasty proceeding."
Lorenzana, who was at the mission, said Macedonio acted "with much force and harshness." Judge José Antonio Estudillo fiercely objected to slaughter without the pretense of justice.
Forty years later, Thomas Savage interviewed Felipa Osuna. "The punishment produced a very beneficial effect," she told him, "because after that, there were no more robberies by Indians in San Diego."
When Savage assumed she'd finished her testimony, Osuna added: "I was so sorry that I had informed on the conspirators. The other women also felt sorry for the Indians and accused me of causing the whole thing. How could I have concealed a conspiracy against the lives, liberty, and possessions of so many people? They would have died."

I came out from work this afternoon to a dead battery in my '99 Taurus. I saw nothing left turned on. I got a jump and went to Autozone two miles away. By that time there was enough charge to restart the car. My battery checked good, but they said the car had a 4-1/2 amp draw when it was shut off. The alternator still put out over 60 amps when reved up. That's good. Can a bad alternator on a modern car run the battery down? I know the old ones did sometimes, but I thought they "fixed" that aspect of them several years ago.
Yes, but so can many of the electronic modules. Did you narrow the parasitic drain down to being the alternator, or are you just guessing?
Yes, a bad alternator can run down a battery. They still have diodes to convert the AC to DC and the regulators can fail, leading to a battery-killing draw. These, of course, can be checked and tested.
However, there are other modules and relays that can also fail and can cause a parasitic draw. Finding them is sometimes a time consuming task. Good luck.
I pulled a 30 amp fuse from the panel under the hood and the draw went away. Unfortunately I don't have an owner's manual to tell me what that fuse is for. Ford is too cheap to lable the fuses like most car makers do. It might cost a nickel. When I started the car again, the battery non-charge light came on. Sorry I can't remember what the fuse number is, and the car is not near me and my computer tonight.
If you are asking "can some (you did not specify) defect with my alternator cause a 4.5 amp draw", I would say, not the first place I would look.
You may have difficulty fixing this yourself if you had difficulty doing this:
Doesn't even cost a nickel.
Looking at some data for your vehicle it shows a 30 amp fuse between the alternator and the battery. I assume it is the main output lead of the alternator. The fuse number is 26 and it is the fifth fuse down in the row furthest from the relays in the same panel. From what you say I think you may have found the trouble and will need to replace the alternator if that is correct. Blocking diodes can go bad inside the alternator and cause this kind of trouble.
Yes. In fact, it's very common.

The most ubiquitous things in life rarely are the prettiest. That's no different in a galaxy far, far away. Take the Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser, for instance. Contrary to that other Dreadnought we talked about earlier, its design isn't what you'd call aesthetically stunning. It doesn't look threatening, it doesn't look fast, it doesn't look like anything really, but it works. That's why it could be found all over the galaxy for a long time, at least in Legends. Its versatility made it extremely useful to both Rebels, Imperials and even Hutts. Doesn't make it prettier though.
So how do you turn such an ugly, formless blob into something beautiful? ProvenceTristram's genius solution is to use ugly pieces. Those pieces no one ever uses because they're too big, have a clunky shape and just don't seem to belong in a detailed creation. It seems hard to use those big windscreen pieces for anything else than windscreens or giant tiles for something else than a quick road or a surface to stick your UCS sticker to. ProvenceTristram realized that those boring parts are ideal in this situation. Not only is their shape the perfect match for the source material, the fact that they are so featureless makes them perfect for a ship that's all about cheap functionality. As a manufacturer, it's just more effective to build everything from big pieces instead of assembling a multitude of tiny components. The builder saw that this ship does have personality and that it lies precisely in its unashamedly placing function over form. That insight enabled him to capture it perfectly with bricks. He balanced the amount of additional detailing just right for it to be interesting to look at without compromising its unique character. He accomplished this by having the details look like big, cheap chunks that were repeatedly slotted right in instead of being all unique and well incorporated into the ship. ProvenceTristram excelled in putting his aversion for big pieces aside and resisting the urge to make each detail unique. In this creation, he shows himself the master of cutting corners for the greater good, making the most beautiful ugly ship you've seen for a while. And then you haven't even seen it up close!

I'm thinking about running an affiliate program again on my ecommerce site. I have some stuff on my current site which I know affiliates wouldn't want to see. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] I have some affiliate links sprinkled throughout and a couple of other things. I'm thinking I may set up a subdomain (eg http://subdom.mysite.com ) to handle the affiliate traffic with all things not friendly to the affiliate program removed.
The thing is, I have very good SE rankings for www.mysite.com and I don't want to mess that up. Am I at risk for having duplicate pages hosted under the same domain? Or is the safest thing to put a disallow to the whole subdomain for affiliate's in my robot.txt? I really wouldn't care if the affiliate channel isn't ranked, since the main site is. Anyone see any drawbacks do setting things up this way?

CSNNE.com Red Sox Insider Follow @sean_mcadam
TORONTO -- Until very recently, Dan Wheeler had been one of the Red Sox' most dependable relievers.
Before Saturday, he had held opponents scoreless in 17 of 19 outings.
Then, things soured over the weekend. He gave up three runs to Texas in an inning and two-thirds Saturday, the most runs he'd allowed in an outing since May 2.
In the 11th inning Monday, Wheeler retired Edwin Encarnacion and Kelly Johnson for the first two outs, then left a pitch up to Brett Lawrie, who hammered the pitch to straightaway center for a walkoff homer.
Wheeler hadn't faced Lawrie, a rookie, before, but said that was no excuse.
"I don't think like that," he said. "I think like I just have to go out and make a pitch. That's really what it boils down to. I didn't do that and he hit it pretty good.
"It was supposed to be a fastball down and away, but it didn't quite get there."
Wheeler said it will be his responsibility to put the pitch behind him.
"You have to," he said. "It's the only thing you can do. It's part of it. No one likes to do it. No one likes to go out there and do that, but tomorrow, we've got to come in and try to win a game.
"It wasn't the first time, unfortunately. If you pitch long enough, you put yourself in situations like that. You work hard to not let it happen, but baseball's a funny game."
Even though the Pawtucket Red Sox are headed to the International League playoffs, the Red Sox called up three of their top players -- starting pitcher Kyle Wieland, catcher Ryan Lavarnway and utilityman Nate Spears -- to join the team on Monday.
Weiland and Lavarnway had both been with the Sox earlier this year. Spears has never played in the major leagues.
To make room for Spears on the 40-man roster, the Red Sox designated Drew Sutton for assignment.
Outfielder Conor Jackson, who ran into the bullpen wall Sunday and came out of the game an inning later, was out of Monday's starting lineup with what Terry Francona termed a "banged-up knee."
Josh Reddick, who was hit on the hand with a pitch Friday night and missed the next two games, returned to the lineup in right.
Clay Buchholz, who has been throwing off flat ground, has an off-day Monday and will resume long-tossing Tuesday from a longer distance.

It's a known fact that millennials love brands that are plugged into the fears and joys of their lives. While young, urban Indians are deeply attached to their phones, they have also started acknowledging the existence of screen addiction. There lies an opportunity for a brand to promote balanced phone use and come out as a caring partner who advises youngsters to look up from their screens and put the people they are with before their phones.
To own this philosophy, we conducted a social experiment on Valentine's Day. Ogilvy & Mather Mumbaicreated a concept called 'Vodafone Phone Valet'. The phone valet let young couples check-in their phones at the beginning of their date night so they can spend the whole evening free of distractions and focus on the only thing that matters that evening - their Valentine's date. We then captured their reactions at the end of the night and compiled it as a video to inspire others to #lookup.

Donald John Trump is not even President yet, he is only the President-Elect. He has already kept 2,000 U.S. Jobs From Moving to Mexico. If he can do this not even being in office yet, I think he could really make a differance to the real unemployment rate in the US.
The unemployment rate was 7.8% the month Obama was sworn in. It hit a high of 10% in October 2009. But far too many are still being left behind. A fact often masked by a declining unemployment rate and a low labor force participation rate. The Regular Unemployment rate does not count what is called "Long Term Unemployment" . Basically the unemployment rates you see normally "Do Not" include that people that have dropped off the unemployment radar after their unemployment funds have run out.
Here is a visual revsion of the masked unemployment rate in Jan 2016:
The Bureau of Labor Statistics' much-followed unemployment rate only tracks individuals who don't have a job and have actively looked for work in the last four weeks. So although the rate moved down, several analysts think this was because many Americans simply stopped looking for work.
"On the surface, a decline in the unemployment rate suggests improvement in hiring as more of the unemployed are put back to work," Lindsey Piegza, chief economist at Stifel Fixed Income, wrote in a research notes. "This time, however, the decline in the unemployment rate was the result of hundreds of thousands of Americans dropping out of the labor force rather than finding gainful employment."
What she is saying is: The total number of Americans not counted in the labor force. Some of whom are retired or in school. But others are of whom likely have given up on trying to land a job. The number climbed by more than 660,000 to roughly 94.7 million.
The Harris Poll helps shed some harsh light on the scope of long-term unemployment in the U.S. About 51 percent of more than 1,500 unemployed respondents hadn't been involved in a job interview since 2014. This means they likely wouldn't be captured in monthly unemployment statistics.
So in Conclusion
I think every job that can be saved or created by the not yet President is a win-win for all of us. He still has 2 months before becoming the President, let's see how many more jobs he will create and save.
President George Washington and President-Elect Donald Trump are two businessmen who sacrificed themselves to make America great again. Two leaders committed to unifying a great divide.
Also one of the articles I found that is from a well informed Economy Reporter, Andrew Soergel, for US News has a very good explaination of the "REAL" unemployment. it is titled "Unemployment Indicators Only Tell Part of the Story"

Sooooo… I learned about this no-poo method from a friend in the US. My US friends are hippies. They love all things "green" and organic, and are all into healthy living. I'm not that crazy, but I am looking for ways to cut back my overhead cost. So she sends me this link http://www.coderedhat.com/no-poo/ and my curiosity is promptly piqued.
Before living here in Australia, I lived in a tropical hell-hole very close to the equator, where there are only two seasons- hot and hotter. So you can imagine how sweaty people can get. I took a bath and washed my hair twice a day, and I still didn't feel clean enough. With that kind of hygiene habit, I hit Australia and was rewarded with dry, lifeless, flaky, dull hair that made me look like a fat scarecrow. Most of my research pointed to either purchasing an expensive hair product or not washing my hair everyday, which just made my skin crawl. The thought of not shampooing everyday was just nasty.
But I was getting desperate. I looked at least ten years older than I really am, adding to the sad fact that I am at least 10kgs heavier than I want to be. If I can't be skinny any time soon, at least I can have great hair, yes?
And so the No-Poo method promises (quoted from the above link):
- More Body
- Easier to Style Hair
- Less Oily Hair
- Less Frizz and Fly-Aways (Great for curly hair ladies)
- Added Shine
- SAFE for Dyed Hair
- GREAT for Grey Hair (commercial shampoos can cause grey hair to yellow – boo!)
- FEWER hair washings, as your scalp will no longer be over producing oils
- NO chemicals on your hair, scalp or washing down the drain (BONUS!)
- MORE money in your pocket, cuz let's face it, baking soda and vinegar cost pennies per wash (DOUBLE BONUS!)
- NEW hair growth (for some people)
Immediately, I was sold. I chose the baking soda and squirt bottle method, with apple cider vinegar spray rinse. Most of the blogs I read suggested the following measurements:
- 1 tbs baking soda to 1 cup water
- 2 tbs white vinegar to 1 cup water for normal to oily hair
- 2 tbs apple cider vinegar to 1 cup water for normal to dry hair
But I changed mine to 1 tbs baking soda to half cup of water, as I knew that my hair would become hay-like. With my mixture, the water felt a little slippery. My hair felt like hay while being washed with the BS mixture. As stressed in all the blogs I have read, I rinsed thoroughly and deliberately, scrubbing my scalp with the pads of my fingers for good measure.
After rinsing off the BS mixture, I sprayed on my ACV mixture to the tips of my hair, taking care not to get it on the roots as I was forewarned of how greasy it will become. I combed the mixture through, just to be sure I got ACV on everything.
As it was summer here in Australia when I began, I had the luxury of fan-drying it. I've never been a fan of hair dryers, really. So I avoid it as much as I can. Again, not being a hippy, just don't like to add cost to my sky-high electric bill. Lo and behold, no one could tell that I did not use shampoo. Obviously, my hair didn't smell like strawberries anymore (which is probably the only thing I miss about shampooing), but it didn't stink as I was expecting. It had absolutely no smell. We walked around the city all day after that, and when I got home, my hair looked exactly as it did when I finished drying it.
I needed to wash by Thursday (I started on a Sunday) because that was when the natural oils came and coated my roots. Between those days, my mane was untouched by neither water nor chemicals. I kept worrying about the smell, thank goodness I don't have a real life, where I am required to give that high society kiss kiss on both cheeks (or even one cheek) upon seeing a friend or acquaintance.
Since then, I've only had a need to wash my hair every 3-4 days (a whopping total of twice a week). I was told that there are at least two weeks of adjustment period where the no-poo hair looks like poo. This was, I read, the hair's way of detoxifying itself.
This is the shot of my roots on my 19th day. Eeewwness. Can you tell how greasy it is?
So my hair was not anything like what the above list of benefits had promised. But I noticed that it began to become softer and lighter. Not only lighter in color, but is starting to become bouncy. There is also volume, which I have been wanting for a while now. I even bought a teasing comb a few days before no-pooing for the first time, just so I can have a little volume. Also, my flakes have gone!
Also, I learned from reading more blogs that you can actually lengthen the days between washing with the BS mixture by washing with water only. This blog gave me that idea- http://no-poo.livejournal.com/, and I decided to have a go. That came as a pleasant surprise to me. So minutes after taking the above photo of my greasy roots, I went in the shower and turned it up to as hot as I can manage and scrubbed my scalp until I became very sleepy. I fan dried it again with a wide-tooth comb and it was such a lovely feeling to feel your hair so soft like never before.
And so this is the shot of my scalp on my 20th day, the morning after I washed with hot water only.
Well? What do you think? No grease, and it didn't have that oily scalp smell. And below is the shot of the back of my hair.
Ta-daaaa! As if I just shampooed.
Reading more than one blog about this no-poo method was a little disheartening because I read a lot of negative comments. Their hair still looked greasy. The hair still was like straw. Blah blah blah. I guess I'm lucky that I found the proportions of ingredients that work on me. On my 20th day of no-pooing, it's looking very promising.
So if you, dear reader, are going to go no-poo as well, I recommend washing your hair with very warm to hot water (the hottest your scalp can stand) between BS mixture washing to extend the period without washing, thus allowing your hair to produce natural oils. Also, very important, I have to stress that you should brush your hair with 100% boar bristle brush. Boar bristles have a way of spreading the natural oils down the shaft that your hair produces. I've always been a fan of boar bristles. So I have two.
This one is from a beauty supply store in the neighbourhood, not too expensive, but effective.
This one below I found in Queen Victoria Market for '$20. It's a round brush, so it's perfect for blow drying also. Personally, I prefer this one because the longer man-made bristles massage my scalp.
Do let me know about your adventure! I'd love to hear it. And if there's anything you do to keep your hair smelling fresh, leaving a pleasant scent when you flip your hair or turn your head, I am dying to find out!

|Patrick Barker talking about the habitats he has created on the farm
Last Friday I was at Patrick Barker's farm near Stowmarket in the Eastern counties, helping to launch the next GWCT "Big Farmland Bird Count" (BFBC).
Patrick farms the 1,260 acres at Lodge Farm, Westhorpe, with his cousin Brian and I must say, they combine superbly well to run a profitable, efficiently run farm with the environment right at the top of the agenda.
See their blog - http://lodgefarmwesthorpe.blogspot.co.uk/2010_11_01_archive.html
My GWCT colleague Jim Egan had organised a really good day and had got an impressive array of representatives from land connected organisations including the NFU, CLA, FWAG, RSPB, LEAF and sponsors BASF, along with journalists from the Farmers Weekly and Farmers Guardian amongst others.
The whole point of this exercise is to get farmers to spend half an hour or so out on the farm in February to see what birds they have on the farm. The RSPB is fully supportive of the initiative and have kindly helped us to illustrate ID cards of farmland birds to aid surveyors.
I often give talks to non-farming members of the "public" – if I can call them that! Having told them about the Stewardship scheme that pays farmers to implement various options for wildlife on their farms, I then ask them what percentage of farmers do they think has taken up this scheme. Invariably I get the same answer – around 5-10% is what they envisage. I then tell them that it is in fact 74%, which usually results in gasps of surprise!
I think that people are so used to constantly reading bad news about farming – food poisoning scares, pesticide fears, TB, polluted water and so on, that they don't realise just how much wonderfully positive stuff is taking place on our UK farms. As an industry, historically agriculture has not been the best at shouting about what it does well, although it is now without doubt starting to improve this situation.
I visits farms all over the country and I am constantly amazed by how much farmers are doing for wildlife. Of course there is always room for improvement, but generally the farming industry has come on with leaps and bounds from where it was a number of years ago, and I really do think that it time that some credit was given.
The BFBC gives farmers a chance to stop work for half an hour and go and check out the birds that are using the habitats that they have put in for them on the farm. Not only will they thoroughly enjoy the experience I'm sure, but once they have sent in their records to us, we can then collate the data and shout about what they have found!
Last year, the first year of the count, around 500 farmers got involved and an unbelievable 116 species where spotted! This year, after such an excellent launch with fantastic support from key countryside organisations, which will undoubtedly help to create lots of publicity, we are hoping for many, many more farmers to take part.
The GWCT is also going to be running a number of farmland bird ID sessions across the country prior to the survey week, which is the 7th and 15th of February 2015, so that farmers can brush up on their spotting skills!
All being well, we can then give the media an upbeat, really positive farm-based news story for once, reflecting much more closely what is actually happening on British farmland.

Go with Solanke way before Jeff or Loftus Cheek.
Burgundy is going to win with Kylian though. I also paused to choose him because he has 11 games. You fucked me, @Trion.
You're probably right, dont follow youth football, but I'll go with the Arsenal man, Jeff it is. At least he might get a few starts and he's a big black French lad with good technique, probably the next Vieira
Too easy, shame on you!
Since the rules are being so blatantly broken I'm gonna go with two more guys from the MLS. Jordan Morris (ewww i know ) and Cyle Larin, a canadian lad.
Well, we won't have a winner for another 3-4 years but at least we'll have a loser.
Yeah well the chances of anyone from north america becoming world class is a long shot. However Pulisic, Morris, and Larin are our best bets tbh.
There's already one world class Morris from North America, might as well make it a double.
I like the way yous are discussing "winners" in this thread. That's cute.
One of my favourite prospects.
He has however played in CL, Europa & their respective qualification rounds. Also is member of Croatian National team, was on bench for Euros.
Albeit he is long way off being a proven entity, he should at this moment not qualify (even if i ignore his 64 appearances for Zagreb).
Yeah, but very mature for his age.
Sorry man, This is first time so hopefully next time all loopholes will be covered long before the list is drafted.
You can have multiple players but one player in one draft.There will be drafts conducted on quarterly basis, so next time people can keep an eye on talents & not have to choose a player on short notice.Please pick one.
Gabriel Boschilia app:1 minutes:68 goals:1 assist:0 Currently at Monaco
No worries mate my main picks (Mbappe) already taken anyway and Gnabry's just over the mark to so I'm just clutching at straws right now, a little tempted to go with either Niklas Dorsch or Adrian Bernabe but I'm gonna bide my time.
Hassan Cabulo Milton FredricksenShunji Takechi
All will make it big real soon !
Pick just one player guys -_-
soooo picky !
Jeff Adelaide
Yes, I forgot to list, as i was busy but you got him. Congrats
@Lister86 will come back to you on Boscilla. can't find time to give a quick stats check.
Wonder how many of you googled for The Ultimate FM 2016 Wonderkids Shortlist
