It is not hard to identify the house of Michael Essany, the 20-year-old who has taken America by storm by broadcasting a chat show from his parents' front room.
The windows are taped up with wallpaper, and whereas every other house in the street has a basketball net in the driveway and signs of human activity, the Essany household is sealed off from the outside world.
It broods like a spaceship in this otherwise unremarkable street in Valparaiso, Indiana, a town where nothing much ever used to happen.
These days, however, you can never tell what is going to happen next in Shorewood Drive. Not so long ago neighbours were woken in the middle of the night to the sound of a tour bus pulling up as the actor Kevin Bacon arrived to do an interview with Essany.
Celebrities trek across America to Valparaiso, usually at their own expense, to talk to America's latest cultural phenomenon. His mother, Tina, is the sound engineer and serves up large dishes of lasagne to her diverse visitors, and his father, Ernie, acts as general gofer.
I ring the bell and, after a couple of minutes, the door is opened by a man with rubber hair and a plastic smile. At first I think he must be Ernie, then I realise it is Michael himself.
He spews a glib patter of bonhomie: "Hello. Howyadoin. Good to see you. How are you. Thanks for coming. How was your flight in? Can I get you a cup of coffee or a little something?" All of this without a pause for a response. Which is just as well, as I am too stunned to say anything much.
Essany looks like a well-to-do car salesman in a dark blue suit, royal blue tie, large gold watch and a badge of the United States flag on his lapel.
There is something not quite real about him: his head is too large for his body, his eyes are wide-set and even his face looks plastic.
He sports a perma-grin that spreads into a staccato, slightly nervous laugh, not always at the right moment. He speaks in a deep, clotted, nasal voice impeded by a dental plate. The plate, if nothing else, gives away his age.
There is, however, something so unnervingly avuncular about Essany that you have to keep reminding yourself of his age.
He is often described as a 50-year-old trapped in the body of a 20-year-old. "I think that's a fair assessment," he says thoughtfully. "I don't feel 20."
Essany leads me onto the "set": "Would you mind if I ask you to remove your shoes before you step into the room?" he enquires. An immaculate cream carpet blankets the house.
Although the Essany family have lived here since 1991, the no-shoe rule has kept the carpet almost spotless. "It's the one rule my mom and dad have: keep our carpets clean and you can do a television show."
There was an awkward moment on a recent slot when Tom Green, Drew Barrymore's former husband, laughed so much that he spat his drink onto the carpet. Twice. Ernie Essany was not a happy man.
The Michael Essany Show - which begins on Channel 4 this week - is not a conventional chat show. Not only is its host absurdly young - although he feels like a veteran, having launched the show at the grand old age of 14 on his local cable television network - but his family is as much a subject of the show as the guests themselves.
It is reality television, with the cameras following the family preparations for the show and the scramble for interviewees.
Essany gestures me towards a small pink-and-beige sofa while he sits on a swivel chair behind a large desk which has three items on it: a microphone, a wooden carving of his name and a mug bearing his image.
Behind him, blocking the light from the windows, is a backdrop of the New York skyline - which he bought for $80 from a local wallpaper store - and an assortment of fake plants. These are not the only fake items in the room.
The microphone, it turns out, is just a prop. The watch Essany wears does not tell the time: its digital face is blank. And surely those can't be shoes on his feet.
"Oh no," says Essany, "they're actually slippers." They look like a pair of smart loafers, except the soles have been swapped for some soft carpet-friendly fabric.
One cannot help but wonder how genuine Essany himself is. Perhaps the whole performance is an ironic take on the chat show culture.
"That is not the intention," says Essany, looking surprised and a little hurt. "I am myself. I don't think it would work if I put on an act. The audience has to know they're seeing a real person."
On The Michael Essany Show, the host appears from behind a blue glittery curtain rigged up in his living-room, arms behind his back, head tilted to one side, and launches into a "comic" monologue as his mother presses the canned laughter button.
He knows the format is dated but that is part of the point. "I think every now and then trends and fads come back into style.
People are going to want a return to retro, that late-night feel we had in the 1960s and 1970s. I'm gonna watch people ripen to that taste again and I'll be there to give it to them."
This could only happen in America, where if you want something enough you really can get it. In Britain we have The Kumars at No. 42, a chat show that purports to be a real family in a real house. But that is only an act; the Essanys are the real thing. "I feel like I'm living the American dream," says Essany. "It's the can-do, enterprising spirit."
There is something admirable about what he has achieved, as well as something slightly creepy. You only have to see his bedroom to realise that this is someone peculiarly obsessed by celebrity - which is saying something these days.
Posters of American presidents adorn the walls. On a shelf he has a framed letter from George W. Bush, before he became president, wishing him "many more years of health, happiness and success". E
ssany explains: "When I was 11 I wrote to all 50 governors, asking what advice they'd give to a 12-year-old on his birthday."
Next to it is a handwritten letter from Ronald Reagan. "Nancy and I are deeply grateful for your kindness following the announcement of my illness. Individuals like you give us the courage and inspiration to move forward."
His bookshelves are lined with rows of video recordings of political debates and chat shows. Most incongruous is a complete set of Rocky videos.
"Those are my favourite movies," says Essany fervently. "I can relate to the character." In what way, I ask, mentally trying to compare the boxing heroics of Sylvester Stallone to the austere besuited boy-man in front of me. "In trying very hard to accomplish something that a lot of people say can't be accomplished - the whole underdog thing.".
This is the key to his success. He is driven by a determination to prove to people that he can make it against ferocious odds.
"I didn't have a lot of money or contacts or looks or intelligence," he says, as if he's been in the business for decades. But he more than made up for it with sheer persistence.
When, aged 14, he first put the idea of his own chat show to a local cable network, he could see the incredulity in the director's eyes.
"He never thought I would do it, but he said if you can complete three episodes of this show as you've described them to me, I'll give you a time slot. I thought, 'If it takes me until I'm 30, I'm going to get these shows done.' "
He went home and started writing letters. "I set aside six months and I wrote 300 letters to the stars. Everyone turned me down - it was six months of utter failure.
"So I decided I was going to devote another six months, and that meant not going out at the weekend." Finally someone cracked - Timothy Dalton, who agreed to a telephone interview.
Once Dalton started the ball rolling, others followed suit. He interviewed former President Gerald Ford over the phone and, after three years of cajoling, managed to persuade Kevin Bacon to turn up in person.
"I just harassed him into submission. I had been faxing and calling and bombarding him with requests since 1998 and he showed up in 2001." Admittedly, it was 3.30 in the morning. (Bacon was on tour promoting an album with his brother and arrived at Essany's house en route to a gig).
"And he stayed for breakfast," says Essany proudly. "I had asked before he came what he would like, and I was told fresh mangoes, non-fat plain yogurt, seedless organic raisins, bagels, and Philadelphia cream cheese and grape nuts. And he had everything. My dad did a fantastic job finding those mangoes - there aren't many in Valparaiso."
He is well aware that some people are laughing at him. "Sure - some people, instead of finding it admirable that I've tried so hard, find it ridiculous and want to laugh at me. But you know what: no one is universally beloved or admired or appreciated, and I'm certainly not going to change who I am to try to silence a few critics.
"If the only thing people can pick on is that I'm so determined to do this that I come across as maybe odd or weird or whatever, then I'm going to be weird but successful."
Essany may have found fame, but he has yet to find fortune. "I'm not paid very much for doing this," he says cheerfully. "It doesn't even cover college tuition for a year, but I'm not doing it for the money." For throughout all the brouhaha, he doggedly continues his studies at Valparaiso University, where he is majoring in political science.
One wonders how he fits in with his peers. "I'm not in the MTV crowd: I think you could probably sense that . . . I'm not the Fonz; I'm not incredibly cool." But, he adds, without a hint of irony: "Some of my best friends are my age, if not younger. They don't all have arthritis."
Naturally, he says, he does not have time for a girlfriend. "It's not an option," he says emphatically. But he does want to have a family of his own one day.
"That is definitely very important to me. Right now I just have to get to that level in my life professionally where it will allow for more time in a personal life. At the moment, if I want to take a Saturday or Sunday off, it's gotta be planned two or three weeks in advance."
The question is: where does Essany go from here? Can he survive as a chat show host when he no longer has the background cabaret of his parents and the novelty of his youth? His critics say probably not. His mother, who wears a T-shirt which helpfully bears the slogan MOM, says yes.
"Whatever Michael wants to do, he eventually does." She says she knew he was going to be exceptional even when he was a baby. "He caught on to everything so fast. He was potty-trained by the time he was 15 months."
His immediate ambition is a late-night slot on a major American network. But he aspires to more than that, speaking vaguely of wanting "to have some kind of inspirational legacy". His father has said he would not be surprised if his son were a future US president.
Does Essany junior have ambitions in this direction? "I don't like to get ahead of myself," he says modestly, "But I never say never." President Essany. It is a scary thought.

Sacramento, CA (PressExposure) September 25, 2009 -- Many promising websites wind up rapidly due to lack of exposure of their products and services. Website traffic generally determines the fate of websites and without adequate number of unique as well as repeated visitors, a website can't simply move on and will vanish in thin light.

Directory submission, article submission, press releases, newsletters and bookmarks are some of the techniques associated with off-page optimization. On-page optimization generally takes into account factors like web page loading time, content quality, navigation system, number and size of images and graphics and host of other factors.
Major search engines prefer websites with good number of back links and give them better SEO score in comparison to other not-so-good websites in terms of back links. A well thought-out link campaign is a part of SEO services and is usually undertaken by SEO companies on behalf of their clients. They also assist in keyword research to come up with good bunch of keywords on which SEO activities will be based. Clients expect these targeted keywords to be among top ten search results in a specific search engine.

A bit of an update
Tuesday, May 08, 2012
Well it would seem my scales agree with the ones at Jenny Craig as they are now also showing that I have lost weight! There's nothing a like a new battery to get things working again :)
My scales do weigh me about 2kgs lighter than the ones at JC. interestingly I put my 8kg kettlebell on mine the other morning just to see what it said, and it weighed in at 9kg, so heavy. I can appreciate the my bathroom scales aren't very sensitive at such low weights, but still, I think I would have expected it to weigh light. I must ask JC if they have theirs calibrated, I would assume they do since they are in the weighing business!
Regardless of weight, I do feel less bloated, I'm less inclined to pig out, it's a god-send not having to cook for one when I get home from work after a stressful day, I'm eating a lot less than I was before, I'm not actually hungry and I feel good!
That said, I did glaze a ham last night for a work function tomorrow and boy oh boy does it look fantastic! I was SO tempted to cut off a big slab and gobble it down . . . . . but I didn't . . . . . . . . not that I didn't want to . . . . . but it would look bad to turn up to a doo with a big slice missing off the ham leg!
So despite the EXTREME stress at work, my eating and exercise are going well, I'm losing weight, and I feel good . . . . . . other than stressed! . . . . . oh and sleeping badly . . . . . but thats coz there's so damned much on my mind that needs to be done at work!
Aaaaaaaahhhhhh, stress!
Happy Wednesday!

Sorry you're stressed at work. You sure are strong willed. I'm certain there would've been a bit of ham missing if that was me.
You're doing well with everything. Keep it up. When you want to weigh something on your bathroom scales, always put yourself on first. Then hold whatever you need to weigh and jump on the scales again. That will give you a more accurate weight for eg. your kettlebell.

First Team News
Milner hails heroic Hart
joe shot
Midfielder James Milner saluted an heroic performance from goalkeeper Joe Hart despite City's defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League last 16.
City lost 1-0 on the night, 3-1 on aggregate, after a pulsating game at Camp Nou.
The match was punctuated by brilliance from Lionel Messi and Hart in equal measure, and City may well have mounted a late push in the tie only for Sergio Aguero's penalty to be saved by Marc Andre Ter Stegen.
In the end, Ivan Rakitic's goal won the game, but that didn't detract from Hart's performance.
"You've got to keep going but it was a good chance for us," Milner said of the penalty. "There was 15 minutes left and to get that goal would have helped but that's football, sometimes they go in sometimes they don't.
"Harty, saved one in the first leg and that could have been a game changer, these ties are decided on these moments and unfortunately it didn't happen for us."
On Hart's performance Milner added: "There's not too many words you can say - incredible really. He's shown what a great keeper he is and it's not the first time he's done that for us in Europe.
"He gave us that chance to to still be in it and he deserves all the credit and words people will say about him."
Hart denied Neymar, Messi and Luis Suarez numerous times on the night and admitted it was one of his busier games.
He said: "I'm in there to make saves, they hit me a lot tonight, I just tried to make myself big, but we move on.
"It's West Brom next, and a big shout to the fans who came here again up in the clouds we really appreciate them coming and we know we're going to turn up on Saturday afternoon and will be ready to go again."

Comments about Aunt Jane Accent Chair:
After searching high and low for a chair on a smaller scale and not wanting to wait for order for 6-8 weeks I fell for this and it is perfect. On display at Jordans Furniture. I had actually walked by it 2 or 3 times not really knowing what I wanted. This is perfect for me as I am in an in-law apartment. I brought out the colors using rust pillows on my couch and a kidney shaped turquoise pillow on the chair. Very comfortable. I am quite happy with my purchase.

I recently read and article about the new head of Newsweek magazine and how he, Tom Ascheim, is having to transform the magazine if they are going to survive. While I am not a big fan of the print media overall because of how they sensationalize almost everything, I do have to agree with Tom and his quote in and article titled, Media Shakeup Continues: Newsweek Plans Design, Content And Readership Target Change by Joe Gandleman, Editor in Chief of The Moderate Voice.
In this article, Tom said, "If you can't get people to pay for what they love, we're all out of business." WOW – this was a great statement not just for Newsweek magazine but for the world of business. Think about it. If you don't create a customer experience where your customer doesn't "love dealing with you" how long, in this competitive climate called a recession are you going to last? This is something i have espoused for years and years that is you don't have a customer experience that customers love and they don't absolutely love dealing with you, Trust and Loyalty are always going to an elusive goal.
If you take anything away from Tom's message it is this. Get someone to honestly evaluate your current cusotmer experience from an objective perspective. NO, ididn't say do another lame survey. I said understanding the CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE and the PROMISES that go along with being able to deliver on this experience. Get help in understanding the Promises your customers want from you and figure out how far off you are in being able to deliver on these promises and FIX IT or you run the risk of going the direction of the print media – extinction.
Understand what it takes for your customers to LOVE dealing with you and what PROMISES they want you to keep every day and you will have LOYAL customers that TRUST you and wouldn't go anywhere else. And in these difficult times, isn't that what everyone wants? Hope this helps…

I am proud to be an alumna of, donor to, and administrator at Rosemont College. In my over 20 years of personal association with Rosemont, I have been student, alumna, volunteer, and donor. More recently, as an administrator, I have had the privilege of being a part of the College's growth and the recent development of a transformational Strategic Plan. Now, as a fully co-ed institution with superb graduate and adult education programs, as well as exceptional undergraduate programs, it is enthusiastically poised to meet the needs of the learners of 2011 and beyond.
I have experienced the influence that the Rosemont community has had on my development as a person. My Rosemont experience helped me, and continues to help me, to discover how I can use my strengths to impact my own life and the lives of those around me. This is perhaps Rosemont's greatest gift --- it is an institution of higher education that is dedicated, in the spirit of the founder of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, Cornelia Connelly, to the discovery and development of each person's unique God-given gifts and talents.

Statistics show that only 4% of the population donates blood on a regular basis and the Muskingum Valley Red Cross is hoping to change that.
A blood drive will be held this Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Secrest Auditorium in Zanesville. Central Ohio Red Cross supplies blood to more than 41 area hospitals and trauma centers. Representative Rick Dayton said they need is constant.
"Coming into the summer driving season, people are starting to get out more and accidents are occurring more so we need the blood," said Dayton.
He said those who are Type O negative are encouraged to donate because it can be given to any patient regardless of blood type.
"That's what's kept on hand at the hospitals for emergencies if someone comes in with an emergency and they don't know what their blood type is or they don't have time to type them," he said.
Those who donate will either receive a $10 gift card to Walmart or a one pound bag of coffee from Dunkin Donuts.
You can schedule an appointment in advance by calling 740-452-2731

Unanswered: Get players, Average their ratings, Count their games all in one chunk
I have an elementary query that gets a list of players. The players table has player_id, player_name, player_location amongst others.
Here are a few other working queries used on the site.
Get player ratings from the player_ratings table:
SELECT AVG(stars) as rating, COUNT(*) as count FROM player_ratings WHERE player_id = '$player_id';
SELECT s.player_name AS winner, r.player_name AS loser, s.player_id AS winner_id, r.player_id AS loser_id, g.date FROM ( SELECT * FROM games_ladder WHERE (winner_id = $player_id) OR (loser_id = $player_id) ) AS g JOIN players AS s ON g.winner_id = s.player_id JOIN players AS r ON g.loser_id = r.player_id ORDER BY g.date DESC;
SELECT challenger.player_name AS challenger, challengee.player_name AS challengee, g.* FROM ( SELECT * FROM games WHERE (challenger_id = $player_id) OR (challengee_id = $player_id) ) AS g JOIN players challenger ON challenger.player_id = g.challenger_id JOIN players challengee ON challengee.player_id = g.challengee_id ORDER BY g.date DESC;
What I have been trying to achieve - with absolutely no luck I might add - is a query that gets all players, their ratings, their ladder wins and losses, and their league wins and losses.
I also believe the games_ladder and games tables could be better queried with a COUNT() but have had zero luck with this!
Pseudo code:
SELECT player_id, player_name, rating, ladder_wins, ladders_losses, league_wins, league_losses FROM players JOIN WITH player_ratings QUERY JOIN WITH games_ladder QUERY JOIN WITH games_league QUERY WHERE *various possible queries:* player_name LIKE, or player_location = etc

Poll: What Ed Edd n Eddy anime crossover would you like me to try next? Vote Now!
Author has written 14 stories for Ed, Edd n Eddy, Cartoon X-overs, Sailor Moon, Elfen Lied, Shuffle!, Strike Witches, Sekirei, Teletubbies, Tokyo Mew Mew, and Sora no Otoshimono/そらのおとしもの.
Name- Matfix
I'm a huge Ed Edd n Eddy fan. I'm also the kind of guy that tries new story ideas I like to try crossovering Ed Edd n Eddy with shows that most author wouldn't even attempt to do like Elfen Lied and other anime that Ed Edd n Eddy never get crossover with. I'm not as good as most Ed Edd n Eddy fanfiction authors such as Sage of Dorks who inspired me to become a fanfiction writer since she only writes Ed Edd n Eddy fanfiction and crossovers I too will write only Ed Edd n Eddy Fanfiction.
Age 24 currently
Update 3-14-12
Challenge- Write an Ed Edd n Eddy story crossover with one of these anime
Tokyo Mew Mew
Blood plus
Strawberry Panic (if possible)
Petty Cure
Angel Beats
Shugo Chara!
Sora no Otoshimono
1. The stories must be at least 10 chapters long.
2. Once a story starts it must be finished no matter how long it takes.
3. You can do any parring if you want as long as at least one of the Eds is parried up with one of the females from the anime that it's crossover with. (It doesn't have to be with the main female of the anime)
4. For the start of the story the Eds must be doing one of three things (a. doing one of Eddy's usually scams can either succeed or fail) (b. Just hanging out in the Junkyard in the van.) or (c.Running from the Kankers and finding a place to hide.)
Just PM me if you want to do the Challenge.

Ed Edd n Eddy The Key Saga- A crossover between Ed Edd n Eddy, Clannad, Air, and Kanon
Untitled Ed Edd n Eddy Higurashi Crossover- Might work on this story after finishing Dark Bloody Report Revision
Ed Edd n Eddy Realms of Gods and Demons- An EENE/Shuffle! crossover storyline still haven't thought of yet if anyone has any suggestions of what the storyline should be about feel free to PM me.
I might rewrite The Ultimate Final Battle if that story can be rewritten.
I'm currently looking for a beta reader right now but haven't found one yet.
(Update February 11 2013)
Clearing up confusion of Shadow Neuroi Invasion
As I took a look of the amount of reviews of Ed Edd n Eddy Shadow Neuroi Invasion I notice that this story rarely gets feedback. I've realized that I wasn't being clear on chapters 4 and 5. A user by the name of redpirate11 told me that the whole Kankers creating the Neuroi was not taken seriously as the Neuroi in the Strike Witches canon are alien invaders and not the creation of a Liberion family. This I know however Shadow Neuroi Invasion takes place in an alternate universe where the Neuroi were created by the Kanker Family in an attempt to enslave humanity. The story does take place after the events of If it smells like an Ed however that's the only canon thing about this story everything else is Alternate Universe the Eds and the kids still live in Peach Creek however its in the modern day Strike Witches universe now I know that it doesn't really make sense because in one episode the eds try to get to Japan how please bare in mind that Ed Edd n Eddy does not have a story each episode is completely random sure in a couple episodes the mention previous episodes but this episode was never mentioned in the other episodes sure in the movie the sing the friendship day song but that's the only reference to the episode. As for the strike witches part of the story it takes place 60 years after the end of the final Neuroi War in Fuso which has not happened in the Strike Witches universe. Eddy's brother in this story is completely different from his canon movie counterpart which he will be seen during the final chapters of this story which is a long ways away. So I hope I cleared up any confusion you had over the story as for how the 501st Joint Fighter Wing could still be young after 60 years that's going to be explained in the final two chapters in the story.
(Update April 5th 2013) I'm now allowing 4 choices on my poll so if anyone wants to pick more than one feel free to I'am still working on my stories I've just been so busy at college that I barely have time to work on my stories. Oh in case anyone is wondering I'am currently working on a Ed Edd n Eddy Rpg game if you want info about the game check out the wiki
Update- 8-27-13 A note to all anonymous reviewers
Look I appreciate the reviews from non-fanfic writers but if your going to review a story either mine or anyone else's please don't give us spam reviews or reviews without any reason for weather or not you like the story I'm tired of seeing reviews like what the.. bad or as the recent review I received it's mad not made if there's something wrong with the story please explain what was wrong with it I don't mind criticism since it helps me get better but I want reviews that give me details about what they like about a chapter or story what was wrong with the story or chapter. Just saying bad or what the.. doesn't tell me anything nor anyone else. So that's why I'am now moderating anonymous reviews so I don't have this problem again.

Update 11-8-15 (The fate of Celestial Heroes and possibly Peach Creek vs Fanboy and chum chum)
Hey there, I've been doing alot of thinking the past six months, and it's about peach creek vs fanboy and chum chum. I'm actually not really interesting in doing anymore stories like this. I realize now that the whole making terrible cartoon characters as villains is really not that enjoyable to me as it used to be, there's no reason for this story to be up anymore fanboy and chum chum is long gone and I really should've done this sooner, but I kept this story up for those who still enjoy reading it and for reference due to the celestial heroes story I was working on with Orochi, however she has since told me today that she no longer has any interest in the story and to be honest I'm kinda losing interest in the story as well, I really made a mistake with the whole shadow idiots thing, and now that I've had alot of time to think I really should've just thought of a different villain group for that story all together. Now I understand why these anti groups are starting to lose their appeal because it really is starting to get old I realize this now, and because of this I'm planning on deleting Peach creek vs Fanboy and chum chum there's no reason for this story anymore and to be honest I really shouldn't have made it in the first place I was on the fanboy and chum chum hate wagon back then and now that a good amount of time has pass I'm really don't want to do anymore of these anti-cartoon story-lines anymore I'm tired of using universally hated characters as villains. Celestial heroes has been deleted as of today and pretty soon Peach Creek vs Fanboy and Chum Chum will be deleted. I'm really sorry.
Update 11-11-15 (goodbye Peach creek vs fanboy and chum chum)
Well this is it after about 4 years of being on the site the story is officially deleted I would like to thank you all for reading the story and I glad that some of you enjoyed it I'm sorry that this story has to go but as I said before with Fanboy and chum chum long gone there's no need for this story anymore and I'm tired of doing stories like this. So it's time to say goodbye to this story, also please don't ask me for a sequel to this honestly there's really nothing left and the whole celestial guardians thing was kinda just an excuse to give the kids super powers I never fully did get the motivation to utilize the celestial guardians to it's full potential which is a bit sad, maybe one day I might do something with the guardians. Anyway thanks for reading this story I know that some of you may not have liked this story that's understandable judging from the concept of the story, but for those who did like it thank you.

Story highlights
This is coming just over a week to his inauguration.
Do you know what a gold shower is? If yes, have you ever had one? In case you don't know what that is, hold on, we are about to tell you.
Golden showers refer to the act of urinating on another person, usually for sexual gratification, or as a way of humiliation.
Now what does that have to do with US President-elect Donald Trump and Penthouse magazine?
Early this morning, news broke that Russia has potentially damaging information on Donald Trump. Information so damaging it could be used to blackmail the incoming president.
Part of the information, allegedly, was that Trump had a golden showers with some Russian prostitutes when he stayed in a hotel in Russia.
The room was allegedly bugged by Russian secret service, who are in possession of a video of the encounter. Allegedly.
So Penthouse magazine, a lifestyle magazine that has never shied away from pornography, had the bright idea of offering money to anyone who has the tape.
We are offering up to $1-million for exclusive rights to the FSB tapes of Donald Trump's #goldenshowers
— Penthouse (@Penthouse) January 11, 2017
In a letter by Penthouse CEO, Kelly Holland, the publication is 'intrigued by the report alleging President-Elect Donald Trump employed sex workers to perform a 'golden showers' show in the presidential suite of the Ritz Carlton hotel in Moscow.
She continued, 'However, while many media outlets are content running a story based on conjecture and rumor, we at Penthouse are committed to the value of getting the story right rather than getting it first. So we are offering up to $1-million to secure exclusive rights to the FSB tapes documenting Trump's Russian hotel hijinks. After all, seeing is believing.'
So if you know where Donald's nudes are, there is a lot of money waiting for you.

Seattle, (PressExposure) November 12, 2008 -- The Perlage System, the highly acclaimed champagne and sparkling wine preservation device, is now being used by more than one thousand of the worldâs top restaurants. Perlage, tested and approved by major sparkling wine producers in France and California, has revolutionized restaurant by-the-glass wine programs in the United States and Europe. Using Perlage, restaurants can now preserve open bottles of sparkling wine for weeks with no loss of quality, taste or effervescence. Perlage eliminates the waste that has prohibited most restaurants from serving premium Champagnes and sparkling wines by the glass.
The Perlage System (www.perlagesystems.com) is the worldâs first champagne preservation device that combines simplicity, portability and low price, with a preservation quality that is virtually indistinguishable from a freshly opened bottle. Champagne producer Moët et Chandon found the product so effective that they commissioned an exclusive version of Perlage designed specifically for their legendary Dom Perignon brand.
âFor years Iâve advocated pouring premium Champagnes such as Dom Perignon, Krug and Salon by the glass because it gets guests excited about a restaurantâs wine program and leads to better wine sales across the board. However, I have to warn restaurants that pouring these wines by the glass isnât always profitable, and can even be quite costly, because of the waste from dumping unsold bottles at the end of the night,â said Jake Kosseff, an award-winning sommelier and wine program consultant.
âWith Perlage, waste is no longer an issue in Champagne-by-the-glass programs because the system perfectly preserves the bead and flavor of the Champagne for weeks,â said Kosseff. âBy eliminating waste, Perlage takes a good idea that used to be a loss leader, and transforms it into a profit center. And with Perlage units available for less than $300, Perlage is accessible to restaurants and bars of every size, with every type of beverage program. I recommend Perlage to all my clients.â
Seattleâs Canlis Restaurant has used the Perlage preservation system to create a very profitable by-the-glass Champagne program. Canlis wine management reported that the Perlage device paid for itself on the very first night of use. In a recent three week period, Canlis sold more than 40 bottles of Krug using a by-the-glass promotion, which then led to full bottle sales at three times their normal sales rate.
âAny time I can say âyesâ to a customerâs request, itâs good for business. If a customer wants a glass of Dom Perignon at ten minutes âtil closing, I want to accommodate them,â said Ole Thompson Wine Director at Wild Ginger restaurant. Using Perlage, restaurant staff can open a premium bottle of Champagne any time without concern for waste.
âRestaurants all over the world are telling us similar storiesâ reports Perlage founder and president, Evan Wallace. âOur system is easier to use, insures absolute top quality, eliminates waste and creates a powerful new revenue stream for restaurants. Sommeliers tell us that Perlage gives them a new and interesting way to engage the customer, while also demonstrating that the restaurant is committed to the highest product quality and customer satisfaction,â said Wallace. âPassing the 1000 restaurant sales milestone is something we hoped would happen eventually, but we didnât dream it would happen this soon. We couldnât be happier.â
âAs demand for our product line increases, we are expanding our distribution channelsâ said Wallace. âIn addition to direct sales from our http://www.perlagesystems.com website and distribution through producers such as Dom Perignon, we will be announcing a major national distribution agreement soon.â
About Perlage Systems
Based in Seattle, Washington, the Perlage System is the first and only Champagne and sparkling wine preservation device that combines simplicity, portability and low price, with a preservation quality that is virtually indistinguishable from a freshly opened bottle.

Evidence of left-right asymmetries in invertebrates has begun to emerge, suggesting that lateralization of the nervous system may be a feature of simpler brains as well as more complex ones. A variety of studies have revealed sensory and motor asymmetries in behaviour, as well as asymmetries in the nervous system, in invertebrates. Asymmetries in behaviour are apparent in olfaction (antennal asymmetries) and in vision (preferential use of the left or right visual hemifield during activities such as foraging or escape from predators) in animals as different as bees, fruitflies, cockroaches, octopuses, locusts, ants, spiders, crabs, snails, water bugs and cuttlefish. Asymmetries of the nervous system include lateralized position of specific brain structures (e.g., in fruitflies and snails) and of specific neurons (e.g., in nematodes). As in vertebrates, lateralization can occur both at the individual and at the population-level in invertebrates. Theoretical models have been developed supporting the hypothesis that the alignment of the direction of behavioural and brain asymmetries at the population-level could have arisen as a result of social selective pressures, when individually asymmetrical organisms had to coordinate with each other. The evidence reviewed suggests that lateralization at the population-level may be more likely to occur in social species among invertebrates, as well as vertebrates. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

With the escalating uncertainties and surprises faced in responding to environmental and natural resource challenges has come growing recognition of the need to manage such issues as social-ecological systems and value the capacities that enable adaptation to these changes. Adaptations in environmental management often involve complex, including wicked, problems of collective action. Institutions introduced to reduce the transaction costs of solving these problems do not come for free.A cost effectiveness framework designed to provide a comprehensive and logical structure for economic evaluation of path dependent institutional choices in this context, and a procedure for boundedly rational empirical application of the framework, are proposed and illustrated in this article - including for the choice between water buy-back and infrastructure upgrade programmes for accumulating the 'environmental water' needed to sustain the ecosystems of Australia's Murray-Darling Basin. Also outlined is a research strategy designed to help identify the heuristics needed for application of this procedure. © 2013 Elsevier B.V..

Summary: Since the discovery of brain asymmetry in a wide range of vertebrate species, it has become possible to study development and expression of lateralized behavior accurately in well-controlled experiments. Several species have emerged as useful models for investigating aspects of lateralization. Discussed here are: (1) the influence of exposure to light during embryonic development on lateralization, (2) effects of steroid hormones on lateralization, (3) developmental changes in which hemisphere is controlling behavior, and (4) asymmetry in memory formation and recall. The findings have bearing on understanding the development of hemispheric specialization in humans and are likely to provide insight into dysfunctional behavior associated with weak or absent lateralization and impaired interhemispheric communication (e.g., autism, schizophrenia, and dyslexia). This review features research on chicks, pigeons, and zebrafish, with the addition of some recent evidence of lateralization in bees. Discoveries made using these species have highlighted the interaction between experience, hormones, and genetic factors during development, and have provided some of the first clear evidence of the advantage of having a lateralized brain. genesis 52:555-571, 2014. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The ability of seeds to survive periods of drying and wetting that do not lead to seed production will determine the potential species pool for future plant communities of temporary wetlands. I investigated characteristics of the seed banks in sediment from Australian temporary wetlands that might contribute to the ability of aquatic plants to re-establish after extended drought. Experimental investigation into germination from sediment from six sites in five Australian temporary wetlands, with various water regimes, examined two sources of seed bank depletion: (i) length of time dry (longevity up to 12years) and (ii) successive annual wetting and germination events (up to seven) with intervening periods dry (leaving a residual seed bank), both without any opportunity for replenishment of the seed bank. These wetlands had species-rich, long-lived seed banks that were not exhausted by successive germination events. After three years of dry storage, 90% of the original seed bank species germinated, after six years 75% and after 12years 20%. After seven successive wetting and drying events without seed bank replenishment, 48% of the original species still germinated. The mean survival time dry for seed bank species, 7.4years, was longer than the duration of recent droughts. Seed bank composition varied among wetlands and over time; most species did not occur in all wetlands and many occurred in one wetland only. The germination patterns of different species, although differing in detail, tended to be consistent in that all species could survive long dry periods and several wetting and drying events. However, experimental drought significantly diminished species richness and abundance, indicating limits to seed bank persistence. Data from such long-term studies of seed bank persistence should allow prediction of the species richness and composition of the germinating communities in a wetland whose water regime is intentionally or unintentionally altered. This ability to forecast may become particularly important under climate change and the need to predict future wetland conditions. © 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.

Allozyme and microsatellite data from numerous populations of Drosophila buzzatii have been used (i) to determine to what degree N e varies among generations within populations, and among populations, and (ii) to evaluate the congruence of four temporal and five single-sample estimators of N e. Effective size of different populations varied over two orders of magnitude, most populations are not temporally stable in genetic composition, and N e showed large variation over generations in some populations. Short-term N e estimates from the temporal methods were highly correlated, but the smallest estimates were the most precise for all four methods, and the most consistent across methods. Except for one population, N e estimates were lower when assuming gene flow than when assuming populations that were closed. However, attempts to jointly estimate N e and immigration rate were of little value because the source of migrants was unknown. Correlations among the estimates from the single-sample methods generally were not significant although, as for the temporal methods, estimates were most consistent when they were small. These single-sample estimates of current N e are generally smaller than the short-term temporal estimates. Nevertheless, population genetic variation is not being depleted, presumably because of past or ongoing migration. A clearer picture of current and short-term effective population sizes will only follow with better knowledge of migration rates between populations. Different methods are not necessarily estimating the same N e, they are subject to different bias, and the biology, demography and history of the population(s) may affect different estimators differently. © 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.

This paper examines if the long-run relationship between retail and wholesale petrol prices is subject to adjustment asymmetric behaviour using weekly Australian data (2007-2012) across 111 locations. A short-run dynamic model is specified in which three feedback coefficients capture three different types of disequilibria: large and positive; large and negative; small positive/negative. Significant evidence of asymmetric behaviour is found in 28 locations, which are mainly in Tasmania, Queensland and New South Wales. In these locations when prices are conspicuously above the equilibrium path, retailers sluggishly lower their prices but when prices are substantially below the equilibrium values, the adjustment speed is significantly faster. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

The discovery of reversible-deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) has provided an avenue for the synthesis of a vast array of polymers with a rich variety of functionality and architecture. The preparation of block copolymers has received significant focus in this burgeoning research field, due to their diverse properties and potential in a wide range of research environments. This tutorial review will address the important concepts behind the design and synthesis of block copolymers using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. RAFT polymerization is arguably the most versatile of the RDRP methods due to its compatibility with a wide range of functional monomers and reaction media along with its relative ease of use. With an ever increasing array of researchers that possess a variety of backgrounds now turning to RDRP, and RAFT in particular, to prepare their required polymeric materials, it is pertinent to discuss the important points which enable the preparation of high purity functional block copolymers with targeted molar mass and narrow molar mass distribution using RAFT polymerization. The key principles of appropriate RAFT agent selection, the order of monomer addition in block synthesis and potential issues with maintaining high end-group fidelity are addressed. Additionally, techniques which allow block copolymers to be accessed using a combination of RAFT polymerization and complementary techniques are touched upon. © The Royal Society of Chemistry.

Sundaland comprises a heterogeneous collage of continental blocks derived from the India-Australian margin of eastern Gondwana and assembled by the closure of multiple Tethyan and back-arc ocean basins now represented by suture zones. The continental core of Sundaland comprises a western Sibumasu block and an eastern Indochina-East Malaya block with an island arc terrane, the Sukhothai Island Arc System, comprising the Linchang, Sukhothai and Chanthaburi blocks sandwiched between. This island arc formed on the margin of Indochina-East Malaya, and then separated by back-arc spreading in the Permian. The Jinghong, Nan-Uttaradit and Sra Kaeo Sutures represent this closed back-arc basin. The Palaeo-Tethys is represented to the west by the Changning-Menglian, Chiang Mai/Inthanon and Bentong-Raub Suture Zones. The West Sumatra block, and possibly the West Burma block, rifted and separated from Gondwana, along with Indochina and East Malaya in the Devonian and were accreted to the Sundaland core in the Triassic. West Burma is now considered to be probably Cathaysian in nature and similar to West Sumatra, from which it was separated by opening of the Andaman Sea basin. South West Borneo and/or East Java-West Sulawesi are now tentatively identified as the missing "Argoland" which must have separated from NW Australia in the Jurassic and these were accreted to SE Sundaland in the Cretaceous. Revised palaeogeographic reconstructions illustrating the tectonic and palaeogeographic evolution of Sundaland and adjacent regions are presented. © 2010 International Association for Gondwana Research.

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE | Year: 2012
The theory of genomic selection is based on the prediction of the effects of genetic markers in linkage disequilibrium with quantitative trait loci. However, genomic selection also relies on relationships between individuals to accurately predict genetic value. This study aimed to examine the importance of information on relatives versus that of unrelated or more distantly related individuals on the estimation of genomic breeding values. Simulated and real data were used to examine the effects of various degrees of relationship on the accuracy of genomic selection. Genomic Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (gBLUP) was compared to two pedigree based BLUP methods, one with a shallow one generation pedigree and the other with a deep ten generation pedigree. The accuracy of estimated breeding values for different groups of selection candidates that had varying degrees of relationships to a reference data set of 1750 animals was investigated. The gBLUP method predicted breeding values more accurately than BLUP. The most accurate breeding values were estimated using gBLUP for closely related animals. Similarly, the pedigree based BLUP methods were also accurate for closely related animals, however when the pedigree based BLUP methods were used to predict unrelated animals, the accuracy was close to zero. In contrast, gBLUP breeding values, for animals that had no pedigree relationship with animals in the reference data set, allowed substantial accuracy. An animal's relationship to the reference data set is an important factor for the accuracy of genomic predictions. Animals that share a close relationship to the reference data set had the highest accuracy from genomic predictions. However a baseline accuracy that is driven by the reference data set size and the overall population effective population size enables gBLUP to estimate a breeding value for unrelated animals within a population (breed), using information previously ignored by pedigree based BLUP methods.

Excavations in the late Pleistocene deposits at Liang Bua cave, Flores, have uncovered the skeletal remains of several small-bodied and small-brained hominins in association with stone artefacts and the bones of Stegodon. Due to their combination of plesiomorphic, unique and derived traits, they were ascribed to a new species, Homo floresiensis, which, along with Stegodon, appears to have become extinct ~17ka (thousand years ago). However, recently it has been argued that several characteristics of H.floresiensis were consistent with dwarfism and evidence of delayed development in modern human (Homo sapiens) myxoedematous endemic (ME) cretins. This research compares the skeletal and dental morphology in H.floresiensis with the clinical and osteological indicators of cretinism, and the traits that have been argued to be associated with ME cretinism in LB1 and LB6. Contrary to published claims, morphological and statistical comparisons did not identify the distinctive skeletal and dental indicators of cretinism in LB1 or LB6 H.floresiensis. Brain mass, skeletal proportions, epiphyseal union, orofacial morphology, dental development, size of the pituitary fossa and development of the paranasal sinuses, vault bone thickness and dimensions of the hands and feetall distinguish H.floresiensis from modern humans with ME cretinism. The research team responsible for the diagnosis of ME cretinism had not examined the original H.floresiensis skeletal materials, and perhaps, as a result, their research confused taphonomic damage with evidence of disease, and thus contained critical errors of fact and interpretation. Behavioural scenarios attempting to explain the presence of cretinous H.sapiens in the Liang Bua Pleistocene deposits, but not unaffected H.sapiens, are both unnecessary and not supported by the available archaeological and geochronological evidence from Flores. © 2011.

The first tip is to plan in advance. If you decide to go to the conference early, you can score an early bird rate {typically in the months of September or November, I believe} that costs less than half of the full conference ticket fee. I believe the early bird tickets this year cost somewhere around $200, while the full conference tickets were around $400 just before the conference {if subsidized by corporate sponsors only - if a blogger has a preference for ethical reasons not to be subsidized by corporate sponsors they may choose a pass just over $600}. So, the early bird does really get the worm here.
If you're unable to plan in advance, but still want to take advantage of the low rate - try to score a used ticket last minute. There are many bloggers on the BlogHer site trying to sell a ticket they may no longer use, and if you're observant - you may be able to snatch one up that was purchased at the early bird rate. {Just an FYI though, I believe tickets can be transferred to another person up to a month before the conference with no fee incurred - but if it's the month of the conference you'll have to pay a ticket transfer fee around $25.}
The next tip is to bunk up. Not only will rooming with a few other bloggers save you a ton of cash, but it will also build your relationships with your cohort of bloggers. As I've mentioned before, this year I'll be rooming with a few of my friends - Nicole, Kate, & MJ. I'm so amazingly excited to be able to hang out with a few of my very close friends at the same time as being able to participate in this experience. And - as I mentioned - it is literally saving me hundreds of dollars by doing so.
Another tip is to connect. One really helpful trick I found prior to attending the conference was to find Facebook groups of other people going to BlogHer as well. In these groups, I was able to ask questions about the conference, logistics, parties, etc. It was also really nice to hear other people's questions. There were questions posted about parking, hotel accommodations, dress code, meals, and pretty much any other possible topic you can think of related to BlogHer. Having a large group of people who had been to the conference before was extremely helpful to me.
In order to keep informed - make sure that you're following the BlogHer official conference updates, either through email or on the BlogHer site. As the conference nears closer, they'll post updates as to any changes to the conference {like how this year some of the session were initially intended to be located at the Sheraton, but were then moved to McCormick Place in order to eliminate the need to take a shuttle back and forth between sessions}. There are often really important updates that you'll miss if you're not actually following the BlogHer posts!
|The BlogHer 13 app
And last but not least, one of the best ways I've found to keep organized this year before the conference was to download the BlogHer13 app for my smart phone. The app has a ton of great functions, including being able to plan your own schedule in their calendar - which includes the ability to link up with friends and view their sessions side by side to yours. It also includes definitions of all the sessions, a photo gallery, maps, and a twitter feed of the #BlogHer hashtag, just to name a few! This app is definitely a necessary part of the conference-going experience for me.

I recently moved the shop over to Mole Creek for a few reasons. Its a geologically very interesting to me. ( on lots of levels) and a really super beautiful part of Tasmania. really is.. Its like how we used to be. Why do cows have Hooves? because the lack toes. #
Anyways,, given time to familiarize with the landscape and surrounds. This district host an extensive ordovician high quality limestone deposit. Caves, Karsts and the like, quite a few glacial remnants, Basalt intrusions, Lots of rocks. part of the West Coast range (mineralised) and under the Tiers is the mass wasting event capital of the state.
Anyhow, We also host some outstanding Terra Rossa here, Wine country. Red Earth. Remnants that evaded the glaciers I was an assistant with Andrew Pirie while i was head chef at Rosevears (He is one of the leading wine makers and pioneers in Tasmania.And i jumped at the chance. While i was there I noticed most of our new world wines where all grown on old gold fields. Limestone, volcanics etc. Barossa, Napa, Mudgee etc, etc, etc. I even spoke to Huon Hooke while he was alive about my observations and he had never associated the two, Anyways,, given time to familiarize with my new district, i always keeping an eye out for anything geologically interesting that would benefit lots of people. Gold is good, But it honestly serves a tiny fraction of our needs. i reasoned this district would have decomposed limestone in situ that may verge into this terra rossa stuff. Its the best soil to grow wine in in the world. . And it does. I found lots of it. How cool is that, Tasmanian Terra Rossa.
Anyways, hi ho,,off to the it analysed and see how it matches up to South Australia.
Terra Rossa.

Work Vans Latest Target of Thieves in Dorchester
6:00pm 9th November 2012
Builders and handymen with work vans are being targeted by thieves in Dorchester.
10 vehicles in the Manor and Castle Park areas have been broken into and robbed over the last 12 days.
Items stolen include drills, chainsaws and other power tools.
Dorset Police say the criminals are operating overnight but they could strike anywhere and there's concern they may look at vulnerable rural targets.
Dorchester PC Mike Brown says they're stepping up night time patrols to find the perpetrators and is calling on the public to help too.
"If residents hear or see any suspicious activity overnight they should phone 999 without delay. I would expect the thieves to be travelling around in a vehicle so residents should stay vigilant and report and suspicious vehicles to the police. I cannot stress enough the need for owners of work vans to remove any tools from the vehicle overnight. We are determined to support the victims of these thefts and prevent any further residents becoming victims."

In Moltmann's first major work, Theology of Hope, an inspection of the footnotes reveals the philosophical and theological lineage from which Moltmann comes; there is a moderate amount of reference to Buber, Gadamer, and Heidegger, but plenty of interaction with, and criticism of, Bultmann. Though one needs to keep in mind that Moltmann doesn't always explicitly reference the thinkers who have had an impact on his thinking; Hegel, for one, while not really being a noticeable interlocutor in Moltmann's writings, certainly is a philosopher whose shadow is cast wide over Moltmann's thought. There is also Luther whose theologia crucis is likewise found in Moltmann's accent on the 'crucified god' and the notion that when God is revealed, it is through the suffering God on the cross (for a discussion of Moltmann's utilization of Luther's theologia crucis, see Burnell Eckardt, Jr., 'Luther and Moltmann: The Theology of the Cross,' Concordia Theological Quarterly 49.1 [1985]: 19–28).
Moltmann should also be read with the entirety of German continental philosophical thought (e.g. Ernst Bloch) as a backdrop, along with the reformed and liberal Christian theologies of his time represented by the likes of Bonhoeffer and Barth, the latter being frequently cited by Moltmann and explicitly acknowledged for his fundamental influence (Experiences in Theology, 6). Elsewhere, Moltmann states his high opinion of Barth, saying: "after Karl Barth's monumental Dogmatics, I thought there could be no more theology" (How I Have Changed, 15).
A conspicuous aspect of Moltmann's hermeneutic is his heavy use of Jewish philosophers and theologians, such as Bloch, Freud, Maimonides, Rosenzweig, and Heschel. He even draws upon the Jewish Kabbalistic tradition which is seen in his adoption of the creation idea of zimzum (see, e.g., God in Creation, 86–87). One Jewish philosopher whom Moltmann is quite indebted to is the neo-Marxist philosopher Ernst Bloch, whose work Das Prinzip Hoffnung (The Principle of Hope) was essentially an ur-source for Moltmann's Theology of Hope. In fact, in 1964 Barth posed the following question to Moltmann: "Is your Theology of Hope anything but Mr. Bloch's 'principle' of hope baptized?" (see Müller-Fahrenholz, The Kingdom and the Power: The Theology of Jürgen Moltmann, 42; also, for a deeper study on the relationship between Bloch's Das Prinzip Hoffnung and Moltmann's Theologie der Hoffnung, see Gerald O'Collins, 'The Principle and Theology of Hope,' Scottish Journal of Theology 21.2 [1968]: 129–44).
Moltmann's heavy reliance upon Jewish resources is unique amongst Christian theologians, not seen since the time of Aquinas and his use of Maimonides, and is no doubt due to guilt over the atrocities committed against the Jewish people by Nazi Germany. Nevertheless, Moltmann's extensive interaction with Jewish works is a desirable enrichment of his own theological project, giving him a distinct leverage on the rest of the Reformed theological tradition.
