Do women in Haryana need a different planet?
Haryana, a northern Indian state with historical significance where the epic battle of Mahabharata was fought at Kurukshetra; and one of the wealthiest states of the country with the third highest per capita income, could have emerged as a role model of development for other states.
But ironically, with at least nineteen rape cases – most of them involving teenage girls – being reported in just over a month this year, 367 in the first six months of 2012, and around 733 in 2011 (an average of 60 rapes a month, according to the National Crime Records Bureau), the pocket-sized Haryana has become a shame.
Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda-led Congress government is under fire and is scrambling to take control of the grim situation. Let's glance through the harrowing stories of rape victims to understand the situation better.
While some lustful men in Haryana did not spare an innocent 13 year old girl, a 6th class girl was raped by a 60-year old fruit vendor in Panipat (ironically, the victim was expelled by school after the incident came to light) and a five-month pregnant woman was raped at gunpoint in her house. In the infamous gangrape case of a 16 year old girl in Jind district, the victim even committed suicide by immolating herself. A widow was raped in Ambala, a six -year-old girl was raped by three men in Gurgaon, the list continues. In Hisar district's Dabra village, the father of a 16-year old girl who was gangraped by eight men committed suicide after police refused to file an FIR. A mentally challenged Dalit girl was also reported to have been raped in Rohtak, hometown of the present CM. Each and every case involves a heart-rending story, but the poor victims have sadly no shoulder to cry on except their flustered families.
Moreover, in most of the cases, the cowards who committed the heinous crime were daring enough to record the video of the incident and threatened the victim with dire consequences if the she tried to report the incident to anyone.
Ironically, this is the same state that boasts of a national champion women's hockey team.
The pertinent question that strikes my mind is - what is the reason behind these incessant and grotesque rape cases? Is it the skewed sex ratio in the male dominated state that drives the men to commit this heinous crime?
On the other hand, instead of coming up with a concrete solution to tackle the growing cases of rapes, government authorities seem to be least bothered.
Recently, Haryana's former chief minister and INLD leader Om Prakash Chautala stunned the nation when he backed the ridiculous idea of so-called Rohtak-based Khap panchayat that advocated 'reducing the marriageable age of girls and boys from 18 years to 16 years to avoid rapes'. But if a 10-year old girl is raped how can one say that by reducing the marriageable age to 9, the problem will be solved!! And then, there are plenty of cases where married women are also raped?
In an unexpected move, a Mahapanchayat attended by several Khaps in Sonepat district refuted the idea that marriageable age of girls should be brought down to 16 years, saying the suggestion was "individual in nature" and should not be seen as stand of the body. This only confuses matters, as they didn't endorse the legal ages of 18 and 21 either.
The former CM next day showed his real trait of being a politician when he took a U-turn in order to shield his public image. Are politicians any less than chameleons when it comes to changing colours?
Just two days after Chautala made the controversial remarks, a local Congress leader, Dharamvir Goyat came up with bizarre conclusion, "If we go into the details of rape cases and abductions, it is found that victims and accused in 90% of cases are runaway couples. So the cases are consensual."
And then the next day, Congress MLA Sampat Singh gave an entirely new dimension to the rape horror by saying, "The society has witnessed new dimensions of growth, but the intellectual growth has not yet taken place resulting in such incidents in the society."
Nothing can be more unfortunate than the families of rape victims being made to hear such ludicrous excuses.
If this was not enough, a khap panchayat leader of Haryana`s Jind district said, "To my understanding, consumption of fast food contributes to such incidents. Chowmein leads to hormonal imbalance evoking an urge to indulge in such acts. You also know the impact of chowmein, which is a spicy food, on our body."
Can one imagine how chowmein (noodles) would lead to a rise in number of rape cases!!! Had this 'out of mind' man made this statement on some health-related issue, then it could have been digested… didn't he even think twice before making such brainless remarks? Maybe he was trying to gain publicity but went horribly wrong in his explanation.
Haryana's skewed sex-ratio, i.e. 830 girls to 1,000 boys, as per the 2011 Census, and maximum number of female feoticide cases and dishonour killings, have already made this state vulnerable for the fairer sex.
After drawing censure over a series of rapes, CM Hooda shifted to fire-fighting mode and announced a slew of measures, including enhanced patrolling and supervision by senior officers, to effectively check crimes against women.
Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde also gave a rather political statement by saying, "The Centre is in touch with the state government on the issue ... It is a serious matter particularly concerning Dalit people. This has been done (with Dalit girls) - so we are very serious on this."
In order to punish the culprits, suitable legislations need to be made in our country and all rapists should be given death sentence or life imprisonment till death to teach them and others a lesson. Police need to spread more awareness on rape issues and maintain law and order, while politicians should rise above partisan interests to maintain dignity of girls and women in our country. Also, they should think twice before making amateurish remarks on such sensitive issues.
And importantly, rape victims should be handled with care - emotionally and psychologically - rather than traumatizing and ripping the soul of the victims by raising questions about their character. The authorities have to buck up to give a fitting answer to a patriarchal society.
A piece of advice to Khaps: before issuing Taliban-like diktats and putting forth absurd ideas, please come up with something concrete and logical solutions to curb the menace of rape; also, the solutions should be in sync with the present times. Instead of oppressing women, have the guts to take on criminals.
Whether it is Haryana or any other state, the zero political willpower should be replaced with zero tolerance policy towards such crimes. It is indeed a long battle ahead for the fairer sex to live without fear in this male-dominated society.

ELYRIA - Cory Landis has everything he needs to become a guitar hero.
|Markus Younkin, 18, of Lorain, takes his shot at the "Guitar Hero III" tournament at Lorain County Community College on Friday as Cory Landis of New London waits to play.
The 19-year-old from New London sports long, rock-star style hair - with the requisite navy blue bandanna keeping it away from his eyes - and the finger velocity to make any fan of video game "Guitar Hero III" wince.
"You just have to sort of zone out and rock," he said. "I played for four hours the other night. I`m pretty decent."
So on Friday, Landis decided to put all that practice to the test - joining other Lorain County Community College students who took on the popular video game, which uses a guitar-shaped controller and color-coded buttons to play out the notes of popular rock songs, during a "Guitar Hero III" tournament hosted by the college`s Anime Society.
The game includes rock classics from artists such as Santana to current favorites such as the Killers. It has sold more than 1.4 million copies since its release in late October. It`s also the only video game to make it on the Toys "R" Us Hot Toy List this year.
Joe Yagielo, 23, of North Ridgeville, events coordinator for the Anime Society, said using a popular video game to drum up interest for the society was easier than they thought.
"We put the 'Guitar Hero` banner up, and we just started getting e-mails," he said. "The turnout has been great. It`s the popularity of the game. It`s just unbelievable."
More than 30 people stopped by the college`s Student Center during the two-hour event.
Yagielo and 22-year-old Brandon Hayes, a fellow Anime Society member from Oberlin, called out to passers-by who couldn`t help but to turn and look to see what everybody else was watching.
"You guys want to play? Just sign up," Hayes said. "It`s free. You win prizes. There`s nothing to lose."
Following a successful 300-note streak jamming out to Weezer`s "My Name is Jonas," Jill Monda, known by those watching as the "silent assassin," hammered out one of the highest scores on the expert level.
The 17-year-old from Avon said the secret to making it in the "Guitar Hero" world comes down to learning how to hammer-on - a technique that allows a player to hit more notes with less work.
The fact that she was one of the only women to land on the top of the high scores meant nothing, she said.
"I usually go over my friend`s house to play," Monda said. "It`s all we do. I beat him every time."
No matter who wins, the Anime Society members said, the headphones and MP3 players given away as prizes were well worth the many names and e-mails they collected.
Ben Mattin, 18, of Lorain, said he had no problem taking the bait.
"I`ve known about their group, but I`ve never been to one of their meetings," he said. "If I can hang out and play this game, I might even join."

Restaurant Review: Shrimp Bucket at Bonifacio Global City
Published on March 23, 2015
Our office will be transferring to Makati a few months from now. And because I am with the company of foodie team mates, they agreed with me that we needed to try as many restaurants as possible before we bid BGC goodbye. We listed all the restaurants that we had yet to try, and we would try to cross one out every Friday. The first that was crossed out from our list was Shrimp Bucket. I don't know why it took us that long to try it out. We had been to Mozu, which is just across the street, countless of times before, but we never really paid attention to Shrimp Bucket. After working in BGC for more than three years, I finally set foot in Shrimp Bucket.
With only a few seats, I have to say that the place is a bit cramped. But one of the waiting staff told us that they have a bigger space at the second floor. The flag-bearer of Shrimp Bucket is obviously their shrimp dishes. But looking at their menu, I was actually quite impressed that they also offer other kinds of seafood. Meat-lovers need not to worry because they have quite a few selections, too!
We had chicken wings for starters. Guests have three options - Plain Salted, Buffalo and Belachan. We all agreed to go with buffalo wings.
The Crispy Belachan Pork was a big hit for all of us. The pork is deep-fried giving it its very crispy texture. And then it's coated with a thick bagoong sauce. It has the perfect blend of sweetness and saltiness.
Suffice to say, we all went back to work with a smile drawn to our faces. And our tummies were definitely bursting. Without a doubt, Shrimp Bucket gave us one helluva gastronomic treat!

From the moment I first heard about Common Core, I knew that it would be used as a tool to preach the dogmas of progressivism. How could it not? Sure, on the face of it, the National Governor's Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers sounds like an impressive couple of committees who led a grassroots campaign to improve school standards.
Except they didn't.
Instead, these two groups recommended Common Core, a system developed by a Washington D.C. based think tank of "educators" who gained enough influence and power in the federal system to connect the adoption of Common Core standards to federal money.
In short, while Common Core standards sound impressive, they are linked to federal money, to progressive ideology, and to businesses such as publishers and standardized testing companies who want to push book and test sales which preach their own agendas. It is painfully obvious that these agendas express progressive dogmas to indoctrinate (and make ignorant) the coming generations of American children.
Here's a dangerous case in point.
One of the English teachers on my staff pointed out that the newest 12th grade English curriculum now references as a non-fiction reading an opinion piece from the New York Times, entitled "Let's Give Up on the Constitution."
I guess the progressive ideal that the Constitution is a "living" document (which removes the burdens of actually following what it says) doesn't seem to be enough for liberals anymore. In the op-ed, the author argues, using all the idiotic dogmas of liberalism, against keeping the Constitution at all.
From the opening paragraph:
As the nation teeters at the edge of fiscal chaos, observers are reaching the conclusion that the American system of government is broken. But almost no one blames the culprit: our insistence on obedience to the Constitution, with all its archaic, idiosyncratic and downright evil provisions.The main thrust of the author's argument is this: The Constitution was written by dead, white men who couldn't foresee the problems we have today. Since then, we have had to make a lot of changes to laws in order to ignore the Constitution. Those dead, white men keep getting in the way of our desires to ignore the Constitution, so we should just get rid of the document completely.
The author, besides being naive, self-serving, and impossibly ignorant about the purpose of the Constitution and the dangers of an unconstrained government, wishes to promote the ideal that freedom can only come to the people of the United States by getting rid of the Constitution, and by implication, by getting rid of the Republic.
And that, in a nutshell, is the agenda, the dogma, and the danger of liberal control of education through Common Core.
Shocked and disgusted with the reading choice, the English teacher came to me for advice on how to best handle such obvious and flagrant attempts to derail the importance of the Constitution among high school seniors. Together, we decided that she could best use the op-ed piece to prompt a real discussion about the importance of the Constitution. She and her students then went through the op-ed and pointed to all the poor arguments and fallacies contained in it.
I'm concerned, however, that other teachers at other schools will use such blather to promote the narrow and dangerous views of modern liberalism. We have already nearly destroyed the purpose of education within our democratic society - to promote thinking. Now that men and women with the ideals to end thinking among students have control over school curriculum, we will become a nation of imbeciles, never knowing the better path that the Founding Fathers created for us.

It's less a documentary than a promotional video for [director Michael Grecco's] book...

May 1, 2009
In contrast with Grecco's evocative photos, his film is scattered and platitudinous, skimming the surface of his subjects and betraying his high-art aspirations with a shallow E! aesthetic.

All the naked people on display here are certainly easy on the eyes, but it's not much of a stretch to say that, as usual in Hollywood, the book is better than the movie.

[Director Michael] Grecco comes across as a naive, wide-eyed kid in Wonderland, which might be sweet if it wasn't so obvious his real motivation is to make the audience feel good about buying his book.

Sun Ra Arkestra & Marshall Allen – Babylon Live
Legendary pianist and bandleader Sun Ra departed from this Earth in 1993 but his cosmic legacy lives on via this excellent live set featuring his Arkestra recorded at the Babylon Club, Istanbul in May 2014. Now directed by ninety year old alto saxophonist/flautist Marshall Allen, the music reflects the imperturbable spirit of freedom and creativity of a band which has existed for some six decades.
Also on board for this particular astral journey are long established members of the Arkestra crew including Vincent Chancey (french horn), Knoel Scott (alto saxophone), Elson Nascimento (percussion) together with relative newcomers Tara Middleton (vocals & violin) and Farid Barron, the first to occupy the pianists chair since Sun Ra's passing. As with all Arkestra performances the music is a beguiling mix of inter-planetary (free) flights of fancy and more conventional pieces such as "Stardust", an appropriately titled standard, and the Ra penned "Saturn", a fixture in the bands book since the mid 1950's.
Recorded by IN+OUT Records in centenary of Sun Ra's birth, this live set is a superb document of the Arkestra's music as it is today and is available as a single CD or in a deluxe twin disc edition containing a DVD of the complete concert. The album is also dedicated to the memory of Mehmet Ulug, who together with his brother Ahmet, brought the Arkestra to Istanbul from the first time in 1990 and went on to open the Babylon Club.

John 2:13-17 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business. When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers' money and overturned the tables. And He said to those who sold doves, "Take these things away! Do not make My Father's house a house of merchandise!" Then His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up."
Our Lord ensured that the temple of God where God dwells is not defiled. Since the traders (for the convenience of the Jews from afar) were only selling oxen, sheep and doves, all meant for sacrifices to God, still our Lord will not allow this to defile His temple.
(Note - churches and Christian missions must not be involved in any type of business at all. Let God bless our brethren businessmen, who make the money and offer it to God as tithes or love offerings. Please read Mal 1:8-12)
John 2:19-21 Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." Then the Jews said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?" But He was speaking of the temple of His body.
Since our physical bodies are temples of God, God will be zealous to ensure that we keep them holy otherwise He may not dwell within. For God in us is the hope of glory.
1 Cor 3:16-17 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.
Col 1:26-27 the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Col 3:8-10 But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him.

Unanswered: problem of importing IBM DB2 Content Manager
I work with IBM DB2 Content Manager v 8.4. I have a problem when inserting documents via the IBM DB2 Content Manager Client for Windows. The search and retrieval of documents is normally quick .Except that the insertion of documents so longer and the integration takes longer than 2 minutes.
Maybe I need to maximize the memory size at the tablespace or ........
If anyone has a track how to resolve it
thank you

Increase the log-level to the max. Now you can see the all the API calls together with the generated SQL and the time spend. If the time is not lost during SQL processing then DB2 does not need extra attention.
Do not forget to put the log-level back because of the performance penalty.

STOP THE FIRST SIGNS OF AGINGSeptember 4, 2015 / Category: Anti-Aging, Beauty Breakthroughs, Cosmetic Procedures
As early as your mid- to late-20s and into your 30s, you may start to notice the very first signs of aging, which are usually subtle but still bothersome. What was once a smooth complexion may now be home to small sunspots, crow's-feet, dark under-eye circles and uneven texture. Instead of letting the signs of aging get the best of you, take matters into your own hands and correct the changes that you're seeing—you may even be able to prevent them from progressing as you get older with the proper plan of attack.
HOW YOUR FEATURES ARE AGING YOU!April 21, 2015 / Category: Anti-Aging, Beauty Breakthroughs, Cosmetic Procedures
One reason why our facial features lose shape and become less defined is because of fat changes. Fat is essential for fullness but over time it starts to descend in some areas and shift position. Adding your fat or synthetic dermal fillers into your face, restoring volume especially to the mid-face, is a big breakthrough in cosmetic medicine.

Get Radiant Skin with CO2RE CO2 Fractional ResurfacingMarch 25, 2015 / Category: Anti-Aging, Beauty Breakthroughs, Cosmetic Procedures, Uncategorized
Wouldn't you love to see radiant skin when you look in the mirror? If so, CO2RE CO2 fractional resurfacing is a procedure that you may want to consider trying. This procedure involves using a state-of-the-art carbon dioxide laser treatment to remove layers of skin in order to reduce the appearance of things like fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots, hyperpigmentation and scarring. This laser creates small wounds inside the skin, which helps induce healing. CO2RE CO2 fractional resurfacing only targets specific areas of the skin, and the surrounding skin is not damaged.
At Cosmetic Laser MD in Livingston, NJ, we help restore a more youthful appearance and give you radiant, glowing skin with fractional resurfacing. This non-invasive treatment can help give you back your glow in as little as one treatment. Our medical team, led by Susan Stevens Tanne, MD, can help customize a treatment plan that is tailored to your needs. To schedule your consultation, contact Cosmetic Laser MD today.

ARE YOU SHOWING OFF YOUR BARCODE?January 18, 2015 / Category: Anti-Aging, Beauty Breakthroughs, Cosmetic Procedures
We have all seen women with those dreaded "smoker's lines" around the mouth – those tell-tale signs of aging that are impossible to hide with any type of makeup – THE BARCODE! So what are they, and how can we make them disappear?
Well, smoking and sun damage are the top two reasons for these dreaded lines, but aging causes thinning of the lips in most women, resulting in too much skin above those shrunken lips with no place to go except to causes pleats and folds.
While mineral based sunscreen is the best anti-aging product to prevent damage in the first place, once these lines have etched themselves in, it is time for more aggressive measures.
The end result is a smooth, youthful mouth with no sign of that dreaded BARCODE!
WHEN YOU SHOULD GET LASER RESURFACINGSeptember 9, 2014 / Category: Anti-Aging, Beauty Breakthroughs, Cosmetic Procedures
If you have deep lines on and around the eyes, fairly good skin elasticity, are over the age of 40, laser resurfacing is the best option to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the upper eyelids.
What it can't do: Get rid of loose skin, or lift like surgery would.
What it can do: Stimulate collagen production to give a tightening effect; improve tone & texture
CO2 fractional lasers, such as our CO2RE laser, work to stimulate collagen from within to decrease fine lines and also address crepey (not excess) skin around the eyes. Unlike injectables, which can't be used on the eyelid but just on the outer corners of the eyes, fractional CO2 lasers—they combine the resurfacing power of more traditional CO2 lasers with the healing and anti-demarcation benefits of a fractional laser—can be used on both areas to rejuvenate skin that's laden with both lines and wrinkles.
When used properly and on the right patient, lasers can smooth out some of the lines around the eyes, but not correct significant laxity, hollows or bulging fat pads.
Fractional CO2 lasers will also help even out any discoloration around the eyes, like age spots, which may accompany the type of skin that is suitable for this treatment. Lasers work best on surface irregularities from sun damage.

9 Top Cosmetic Treatments for Aging SkinNovember 20, 2013 / Category: Anti-Aging, Beauty Breakthroughs, Cosmetic Procedures, Health News
This article is based on a recent one in US News and World Report.
Battling the clock
Aesthetic physicians can prescribe skin creams and perform laser skin-resurfacing and chemical peels, and they can administer injections. Surgical procedures, meantime, can be performed by cosmetic and plastic surgeons. When you pick a doctor, ask how often and how frequently he or she performs the procedure that you're having (weekly is better than monthly.
Here is a quick guide to some of the most popular treatments and procedures.
1.Retinoid creams
2. Over-the-counter peptide creams
3. Microdermabrasion
4. Laser Skin Resurfacing
These treatments can be tailored to specific needs and can be superficial or intermediate and deep. Depending on which treatment and how aggressive, you may see redness from one day to two weeks. The benefits of laser resurfacing usually last between two and five years, however, if you smoke or don't use sunscreen, it's likely to be on the shorter end of that spectrum.
5. Chemical Peels
6. Botox or Dysport
7. Filler Injections
8. Cosmetic Surgery
9. Try Prevention
4 Types of Skin Discoloration and How to Stop ThemNovember 8, 2013 / Category: Anti-Aging, Beauty Breakthroughs, Cosmetic Procedures
As aggravating as hyperpigmentation can be, understanding why it's happening and how you can stop it (yes, it can be done) is rule number-one on the path to clear, even skin.
What is Hyperpigmentation?
Two Types of Melanin
Types of Discoloration and How to Treat Them
Sunspots (AKA Age or Liver Spots)
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
GET RID OF CROW'S FEET FOR GOODJuly 3, 2013 / Category: Anti-Aging, Beauty Breakthroughs, Cosmetic Procedures, Health News
Crow's feet are those tiny lines that usually extend out from the sides of the eyes, up toward the temples and/or down toward the top of the cheek. Sun exposure is enemy number-one in the formation of crow's-feet, but smoke, pollution, squinting and smiling all cause the structure deep within the skin to breakdown. Less collagen means less support, making the skin more susceptible to fine lines.
Your at-home plan of attack should consist of a mild exfoliator to help turnover skin, a daily mineral based sunscreen to prevent collagen and elastin breakdown and intensive hydrators that contain hyaluronic acid, to soften dry skin and fill-in and smooth out wrinkles. In addition to these topical problem-solving ingredients, a large pair of sunglasses will also help preventing against squinting and blocking
Dysport, Xeomin or Botox can treat crow's-feet, and can even be used to prevent them from forming. They are considered to be the gold standard for preserving youthful-looking eyes because they halt movement of the muscles that lead to these lines and wrinkles. Keep in mind that these injectable neuromodulators only temporarily smooth out wrinkles—they don't address discoloration, sun damage or incite collagen production.
To reduce lines, another options is to resurface the skin with lasers. Ablative fractional and CO2 lasers such as CO2RE, and eMatrix are commonly used to address textural changes around the eye. These modalities ablate the top layer of damaged skin, prompting the body to make new, better collagen—the new skin grows in plumper and less laden with lines. These types of treatments also help to give the area a tightening effect.
3 Non-Surgical Ways to Rejuvenate the FaceSeptember 7, 2012 / Category: Anti-Aging, Beauty Breakthroughs, Celebrity Love, Cosmetic Procedures, Health News
When you want to look and feel younger, your face is the front and center battleground of that fight. And while there are a few ways to surgically make the face look years younger (facelift, neck lift, even a nose job), many women might not be ready for the commitment or cost of a surgical procedure. If not, there are "best practices" for rejuvenating the face without reaching for the scalpel. Here are some of the best treatments to get a younger face without surgery.
SKINCARE – First and foremost, start with a good skin-care routine. Routine skin care by trained, experienced estheticians is invaluable in producing, improving and monitoring the skin. Let's face it – beautiful skin always creates a more youthful look. A comprehensive skin-care program that may include professional products and treatments (like microdermabrasion and facial peels) can minimize sun damage, soften fine lines, reduce acne, rehydrate dry skin and brighten dull, aging skin.
INJECTABLES – If you want to take it one step further, a cosmetic physician has more options available to make the face look younger. Before finding the best method for facial rejuvenation, your doctor has to take into account your age. When you are younger, we're getting rid of wrinkles with products like Dysport, Botox and hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane, Juvéderm and Belotero. For restoring more volume in an aging face my choice filler is Radiesse.
LASERS – Noninvasive radio-frequency treatments, on the right patient, can work wonders. I am a big fan of eMatrix Sublative Rejuvenation and Sublime Skin Tightening (the eTwo duo). I also love to treat with FotoFacial RF for color correction and eMatrix for texture improvement with my FotoMatrix combo. For a more significant result CO2RE Fractional CO2 Resurfacing is my go-to treatment. It is an ablative laser, but it's not as invasive as making incisions. It is a very effective tool in treating fine lines, irregularities and brown spots. With one treatment, a major improvement can be obtained.
How To Reverse Sun DamageAugust 16, 2012 / Category: Anti-Aging, Beauty Breakthroughs, Cosmetic Procedures, Health News, Special Offers
While sun damage doesn't happen overnight, it can seem like it visibly affects the skin in a rather short period of time. The more the skin is exposed to the sun, the more the collagen and elastin in the deeper layers is broken down, giving less support to the underlying muscles and the skin's surface. As a response mechanism, the skin tries to protect itself from the damage, in turn thickening as a means of regeneration.
Treat sun-damaged skin at home:
Peptides and vitamin A need to be used consistently to help strengthen the skin and improve its texture. Retinol is key since it sheds the top layer of skin and strengthens it from inside out. Dr. Tanne's favorite daytime skincare – Daily Cocktail – is bursting with peptides, antioxidants and other key repair ingredients. Her Tanne MD Medical Skin Care Night Defense is her go-to nighttime anti-aging must-have – a retinol serum blended with hydrating hyaluronic acid.
Free radical-fighting ingredients like green tea and vitamins C and E will help safeguard the skin from future damage. Check out Tanne MD Medical Skin Care T-Power Pads and CE Ferulic Infusion.
Protection and maintenance are vital-once sun-damaged skin has been transformed, you don't want it to regress. It is recommended to wear a sunscreen with ingredients that contain primarily physical blockers, which provide protection from all UV rays. Check out our absolute favorite, TIZO (titanium/zinc oxide).
Treat sun-damaged skin professionally:
Before starting any in-office treatment for sun damage, Dr. Tanne recommends all patients begin a 3 product at home regimen to pre-treat their skin, including:
Laser and light-based treatments, like FotoFacial RF (which combines Intense Pulsed Light with bi-polar Radiofrequency) and both ablative and nonablative resurfacing procedures, work to reinstate the skin. FotoFacial can help eliminate brown and red spots on the face and body. A downtime-free treatment, although several sessions are required, FotoFacial helps to rejuvenate the skin so that it looks younger and fresher.
Treatments that tackle sun-damaged skin, including chemical peels – our hands down favorite is Apeele – can improve the skin, too. Acid-based peels buffer the skin, making it more sensitive to the sun. We also love DiamondTip™ Microdermabrasion to gently buff away the top layer of dead skin cells, leaving you polished and glowing.
Our new fractional CO2 resurfacing laser, CO2RE, reverses years of sun damage. Unlike older versions of the laser, which used a solid beam, this revolutionary device uses a fractionated beam so there are zones of normal skin, allowing for a shorter recovery period – less than one week, as opposed to two or three. It's excellent for restoring skin to its natural state without all of the sun damage. CO2RE gets rid of discoloration while improving the skin's texture. Instead of employing light, fractional resurfacing lasers create microscopic wounds in the skin-as the skin heals, the sun-damaged areas flake off, and collagen is increased – all in ONE treatment!

Mumbai, April 7: The State Bank of India (SBI) today raised its benchmark prime lending rate (BPLR) by 50 basis points to 12.75 per cent. SBIs decision follows the Reserve Bank of Indias (RBI) move to raise both the cash reserve ratio (CRR) by half a per cent and the repo rate by 25 basis points last week.
SBI was, however, silent on whether home loan rates would stand increased following the hike in PLR. A terse communique issued by the bank only spoke about the new PLR.
Sources said interest rates on housing loans will be raised by around 50 basis points. SBI officials were, however, not available for comment.
The countrys largest bank has increased the benchmark rate, known as the State Bank Advance Rate (SBAR), on two occasions in the past four months. It had increased the benchmark rate, which is used to price corporate and retail loans by 25 basis points in December last year and later increased it by 75 basis points again in February.
However, on the second occasion, SBI had excluded all existing housing loans and educational loans, existing and future agricultural production loans of less than Rs 3 lakh and new educational loans of up to Rs 4 lakh from the change in the SBAR. The new SBAR will come into effect from April 9.
For floating rate home loans, the bank levies an interest rate of 10.25 per cent for up to five years and it stands at 10.75 per cent for advances between five to 20 years.
Similarly, the interest rate for fixed-rate loans is 12.25 per cent for 10 years. However, in fixed-rate housing loans, the bank can enforce a force majeure clause by which they could be subject to a reset clause in every two years.
Though reports state that SBI has yet again decided not to raise interest rates for its home and education loan customers, it is understood that interest rate on its floating rate home loans could now go up to 10.75-11.25 per cent and it will stand at 12.75 per cent for fixed rate advances. This, however, could not be confirmed from the bank.
SBI is the second public sector bank after Bank of Baroda (BoB) to increase its benchmark rate. Earlier this week, BoB increased its BPLR by 75 basis points to 13.25 per cent. Though the bank raised interest rate on home loans by 50 basis points, there was no change in interest rates on educational loans of up to Rs 4 lakh. For a loan of more than Rs 4 lakh, the interest rate was increased by half a per cent. Interest rate on auto loans was increased by 75 basis points.
Meanwhile, the Industrial Development Bank of India is planning to review its current lending rate in view of the changing trend in the financial market, IDBI chairman and managing director V.P. Shetty said today. The bank had not hiked its rates in the last two months. However, now it would review its current BPLR pegged at 12.75 per cent.

The function of the briquette machines is briquetting the powder into balls, which can be used in smelting industry. Raw coal and powder coal have different burning effectiveness. The briquetted coal powder has advantages in smelt industry. Powder advantages of the briquette machines: 1. the coal briquettes are uniformly that there are cracks in the stoves. Bed resistance is uniformly to increase wind strength. 2. Porosity of the coal briquettes is higher than raw coal, which is better to improve contact area of the coal briquette and steam.
In general operation, carbon content in slag is less than lump coal. Porosity of the coal briquettes is higher than lump coal, which will cause too low of the air excess factor in boiler furnace. It is conductive to improve wind strength and gasification strength of the gas stove. Some enterprises use cheap coal powder to replace expensive coal lump, adding some binder with good performance. Another advantage of the coal briquettes is convenient transportation. There is no resource wasting in the transportation. All these reasons make briquette machines popular in industry.
An advantage of briquettes is briquetting coal briquette. The briquetted coal briquettes will be effective utilized. Briquette machines play an important role in the long-term utilization of coal resource. At the same time, briquette machines can improve working efficiency, and reduce production cost. Coal briquette machines have been widely used by more and more foreign customers. Clean dust in the materials. When the briquette machines stop, you should clean residual material timely. In the usual production, you should pay attention to the dust cleaning of the important components.

Greys produces a variety of highquality travel, sea, rough, predator and carp fishing tackle for discerning fishermen across Europe, allowing them to examine and find out new experiences through their fishing ventures.
Launched in 1968 as 'Greys of Alnwick ' by excited fisherman Malcolm Gray, the organization rapidly forged a solid reputation with anglers by starting a range of highperformance mid market travel rods like the famous 'Kielder' flyrod sequence.
Travel range, reels and attire quickly used together with market development into carp and sea fishing with the 'Power Play' carp rods and 'Hi-Power' sea rods. These developments enhanced Greys that were established and fisherman awareness as you of the very most preferred and respected fishing tackle brands in the UK.
After identifying a opportunity to contend in contrasting areas of the handle industry, your House of Sturdy acquired Greys of Alnwick in 1999. The Greys GRX flyrod was one of many first models under new property and easily became the best-selling fly rod in the united kingdom.
Throughout this era the Greys brand continued to succeed using its popularity for worth, quality and creativity. Many of the Greys items such as Apollo and the GRXi remain favored by fishermen today.
The significance and worth of the Greys brand to anglers and also to Your House of Hardy was acknowledged in 2003 if the Household of Hardy was renamed Hardy Ltd.

One thing about browsing in thrift stores, you never know what you might find. When I found a bright, pink plastic bangle bracelet in a thrift store a few months ago for a mere fifty cents, I figured I would do something with it someday! So now it's someday, and I'm sharing my 20 minute plastic bangle makeover that cost me a total of…fifty cents!
Even though you KNOW I'm lady that loves pink, I didn't really know how much I would actually wear a hot pink, plastic bangle. Now black and white – that, I would wear! I decided to give this little number a fast makeover using some ribbon I already had in my ribbon stash, a black grosgrain printed with white flowers.
The ribbon is 5/8" wide and from the Basics collection at Michael's. It's a 10-yard roll and I had already used some one of it on another project. I pulled the rest of the ribbon off the roll, probably about 7 yards or so, and worked with one continuous strand.
Using hot glue, I just wrapped the ribbon around the bracelet, overlapping it as I went along. I made sure that the ribbon was glued securely at the front, back and edges of the bracelet. Even thought the ribbon has a repeating pattern, I didn't worry about matching the pattern, because I kind of like the asymmetrical look. When I got to about the last inch or so, of course, the ribbon was at a weird angle! I just snipped the ribbon, glued it to the back, starting with a fresh piece and finished it up! I even still have a few yards of ribbon left.
I liked the way this looked…but it needed just a little something, you know, a little razzle-dazzle! I know Webster's defines razzle-dazzle as "a state of confusion or hilarity," or "a confusing or colorful often gaudy action or display." Hmm…well, in the Little Miss Celebration dictionary, razzle-dazzle is a little extra to make something special! I had some flat-backed pearls and using Gem-Tac, glued nine at high/low intervals around the bracelet. I thought this was just the right finishing touch!
The whole makeover took 20 minutes! Ok, I did let the pearls dry completely overnight but that doesn't count, right? I think this little makeover is pretty cute and it's really comfortable on my wrist. Even Mr. Smarty Pants noticed!! "Is that new?" he asked. When I said kind of, and told him what I did, he said, "Huh, that looks pretty good. I thought you bought it." Not too shabby, because I always get the unvarnished, cold hard truth from him!
If you happen to see a plastic bangle during one of your thrift store jaunts, even if it's in some horrendous color, buy it! You can give it a 20 minute makeover and have a chic, little accessory that's exactly perfect for you!
Thanks so much for visiting today! I hope your best accessory for the day is a whole lot of happy!

Too complex subject..Each one of our opinion may differ. Factual happenings are out of our control. Undeniable reality is that the " country " ( all the world ) is experiencing consequences of the principle established by the CREATOR " sowing and reaping".
One verse says, " blessed, fortunate,prosperous is the people whose God is The Lord." A question ought to be answered : who is " a god" or " a lord" of the people who support and apply the " legislation " murdering of innocent babies?!

Want to be successful? Looking for a shortcut that will make you more happy and achieve all of your dreams this year? Well, here you go. My shortcut to instant success.
We all know that there are no shortcuts to instant success. Sure there are shortcuts that can help you achieve short-term results, but they won't last, not in any meaningful way. But here are some things that I've learned.
- Practice. Nobody gets good at what they love just overnight. Even prodigies have to hone their craft. Sure, some of us are born with a "gift". But we all know someone who has natural God-given talent that they squandered because they didn't make themselves improve upon their talent. Talent + Practice = Success.
- Persevere. We live in an instant gratification society. We want a fully cooked meal in the time it takes to drive from the menu board around to the window where you hand them your money. We want a blog post to tell us how to be instantly successful. Young people want to begin their married lives living in a house they can't afford filled with stuff that it took their parents 30 years to accumulate. And it leads to misery. Perseverance is sticking with something and working at it when it seems like no one appreciates what you're doing and when it seems like it will never pay off. If you stick with it, you will look back one day and realize that you've grown and sharpened your skill set. Nothing happens overnight. Be the guy or gal that never gives up.
- Be nice. Arrogance is never pretty. Assuming that people owe you something is never pretty. Learn to be humble. Do nice things for people even if it will never benefit you. People are naturally attracted to humble and kind people. Plus, it never hurts to do good.
- Don't believe hype. If people constantly tell you that you are no good and will never achieve your goals, don't believe them. If people constantly tell you that you are the greatest thing since fried chicken, don't believe them either. Stay humble, stay persistent and be nice. Thank people for the compliments and thank people for honest feedback that tells you that you need to keep practicing. Then don't give up.
- Understand what true success is. Money will not solve all your problems. It might remove some pressure, but at the end of the day, you will still be the same person. Don't get lost in the pursuit of success and neglect the people around you. If you can look back on your life and see that you have been surrounded by people who love you and care about you, and that you have done everything you can to benefit others, then you can say you have succeeded.
There you go. My shortcut for instant success. Now to remove my tongue from my cheek.

(KYTX) - If you didn't already know you live in a great state, here's another incentive to settle down in Texas... Bankrate.com released its list of best places to retire. Texas ranked 12!
The list is based off of a number of factors, including medical, taxes, crime, climate and cost of living.
Local retirees say Tyler, especially, has a wonderful retirement community.
Tom and Austine Kenner have lived in Tyler pretty much their whole lives.
"Never looked back. I love this place. What's not to like?"
The couple says the Rose City has a countless number of attractions that have kept them here all these years.
"We have a great selection of restaurants here." says Austine. "We have a great selection of live entertainment."
The Kenners says staying active and involved with their community keeps them young.
"One thing to die is to sit down in a recliner in front of a TV."
That's certainly not on their to-do list.
"They want to have fun, they want to enjoy their retirement, so we have so many great attractions. We have a lot of great golfing, lakes."
Susan Travis is with the Tyler Convention and Visitors Bureau. She says the East Texas Council of Government certified Tyler as the first retirement city in the State of Texas.
"Housing, including taxes, property taxes are very low."
For Brent and Maggie Hendrix, the weather was a big draw.
"We wanted some place warm to retire to." says Maggie. "We did a lot of searching and Tyler met a lot of our needs."
Moving here from Ohio, Brent says the warm weather has been easier on his body.
"Cold weather- anybody who has arthritis, which I do in my spine- just tears you up."
But, he's getting great medical care here.
"The healthcare in the area... just the community in itself."
Brent says they really can't say enough positive things about Tyler.
"Medical, the community has welcomed us with open arms, and we love it here." says Maggie.
"There's a lot of great cities to retire in, but I think Tyler is the best." says Travis.
According to this same report, the top three places to retire are Tennessee, Louisiana, and South Dakota.
The worst were Washington, Alaska Oregon.

I have recently put up a few product pages, attached them to my website, was fortunate in getting them into some nice spots on
Google and AOL and MSN. I thought I would take the plunge and open an account with Overture - they have declined both my submissions -
"Under this revised guideline, content in the form of a text link, banner, or tile that directs users to another Web site is not eligible for search terms."
Any comments from those of you in the know??
February 13th, 2002, 10:09 PM #2
I tried my darndest to get a site listed there, where I am selling products that I stock in house - it's not even an ad farm......and they rejected every single keyword out of hand. Multiple times. Despite repeated attempts on my part to explain that my keywords are referring to the generic category that my specific products should be listed in. It's like they don't listen to you. Their perceptions, flawed as they are, are not open for discussion. They don't care if their perception is flawed. I demanded a refund, and got the full amount back, and am not going to waste another moment on them. There are other search engines, kanoodle, 7search, etc....check them out, you'll have a MUCH easier time.
February 13th, 2002, 10:17 PM #3
My true comments about OverSure's latest policy are not fit for printing on a publicly viewable board!!! I can tell you there's an F in the word for what they can do...
Don't waste your time with Kanoodle, either. There's a thread somewhere that says they have chosen to commit suicide in the same manner as Over--that is, by rejecting affiliate listings! I think that's in the Building Site Traffic forum. The difference is, Kanoodle came right out and said it instead of making up a bunch of bogus "relevancy guidelines"!
Basically the PPCs have taken the Handbasket Express this last few months! And you know where that express goes...

Not quite sure I understand this. Would it be something like you're selling "hammers" and they won't let you bid on "tools"?
February 13th, 2002, 10:45 PM #5
Sure appreciate your input guys - I'd like to make this thing fly if I can, since I find myself "sans employment" these days. Any suggestions other than Kandoodle

Overture is just plain old greedy, IMO.
Last week, I took on the job of keyword bidding and opening new advertising accounts for my cousin's webhosting service.
It is an adult webhosting service, so some of his bids at Overture are over $2.00 per click.
Needless to say, he spends a good amount with them every month, and it is not a reseller , or affiliate site.
I was able to find over two dozen perfectly good , relevant, targeted keywords and they were rejected. They can say what ever BS they want, but they were rejected because they were for nickels and dimes, not dollars which they seem to think every freakin click is worth.
So, these terms were rejected , yet there are others "grandfathered" in for the same terms at 1 cent per click at the #1 spot .
You would "think" that if they had any brains, they would be happy to replace the 1 cent bids with 5 cent bids ,but No, the greedy MFer's only approved those listings that were for over $1.00 a click , those were "relevent" enough for them :rolleyes:
I can recall an article a while back where the CEO of "GOTO" , was complaining that their clicks were going away much too cheap, and gave the example that the term "aluminum siding " should get about $5.00 a click, or some ridiculous figure , and not the 10 cents or so a click it was going for .
And NO, I'm NOT getting into the "adult scene" at all, but I know that's how it may look to some of you .

 If that's anywhere near a real quote then whoever said it is out of touch with reality.
Any idea where you saw that? I'd be interested to read the source.

I'll see if I can find it, it was an old article . I somehow stumbled onto it when reading about the company , and I was "thinking" of buying their stock.
Don't quote me on the "$5.00 per click", but it was a ridiculous figure for a "click", that I can tell you from memory.
Going to see if I can find it !

(June 2001) But its auction-style pricing, in which the highest bidder gets the best listing, is mainly a function of supply and demand. "Right now the top listing for aluminum siding is 6 cents," he said. "It's ludicrous that a lead for aluminum siding is only worth 6 cents. We just haven't attracted enough attention from the aluminum siding folks." (The top category, data recovery-which computer users turn to in desperation-often exceeds $20 a click.)

You beat me to it, Cedric !
Okay, so I was wrong about the $5.00 per click, but the comparison to $20 a click for "data recovery" suggested to me that they think it should be worth A LOT more per click , as in dollars !
( I must have come up with that $5 number in my own head, but I wouldn't doubt that's the same number he was thinking )
Also, notice how he calls a click "a lead", which it is NOT ! They do not seem to realize that a "click" is a "click" , It is NOT a qualified lead, which could indeed demand a higher amount per targeted consumer. A click is a click, that's it.
Why it should cost "something substantial", is because it is a "targeted click", but calling them "leads" is way off base.
They DO NOT collect demographics, they do not even know who clicks on the ads, they could be kids, competitors, etc.
They are out of their minds in assuming that an unscreened , unknown surfers "click" is a valid lead worth dollars !!!

yes, elisabeth- "hammers" and "tools" would be an appropriate comparison. It's over now, though. One of the costs that must be figured into affiliate marketing is time, and the cost in time is too high with Overture. It takes too much energy and time to submit keywords through their tortuous process, so I just don't bother! I mean, life is too short, you know?

 An even worse cost is hassle and frustration!!
My Overture spending these days is about one-fiftieth of what it was this time last year. My only terms now are some cheap grandfathered bids which I'm leaving in place. I don't see how *anyone* wins with their current behaviour (I nearly typed "current policies" but decided that was too dignified a label for the situation).

Overture's stock bounced back up real quick, hugh ? Unreal... It's over $32 a share again .
I don't get it, will they ever die ?
If they have agreed to pay AOL alone $50 million for a year and a half, how many millions do you suppose goes to MSN, Yahoo!, etc. ?
I guess Overture has to be greedy, because it's the only way for them to survive and profit. Without ripping off their advertisers, and giving small time advertisers the shaft, they can not have enough money to pay their partners which make them who they are .
So, once again... Money makes money, and the little guy doesn't even get a chance .
I don't know if I like the idea of being an affiliate anymore , it looks like a dead end from here on in, unless you are highly skilled at optimizing webpages , which too will probably do you little good in the near future, when only money , and nothing else but money gets you a top listing for anything worth a dime .

Is it me or are Overture's clicks turning to a higher percentage of "empty clicks". Since they have been cracking down on this insanity of theirs more of my click throughs are nothing but empty screens.
I think them saying they are doing what the average web surfer wants is fantasy and the average surfer is going somwhere else to search.
Many of my keywords are in the top three for minimum bid and even those are a higher percentage of no-lead clicks these days.
Overture treads water well, but no one can forever.

I spend over $50,000 a year in Overture clicks. With the Yahoo agreement, my traffic increased about 20% on some of my sites.
It disturbs me too that they have become real hard-asses with their screening of new submissions. Despite all of the revenue I give them, they still treat me like crap. However, they still bring in some serious traffic!
I will be glad to share this with my new friends here at ABWeb...
The site reviewers at Overture are pratically minimum wage workers. Many have an IQ under 100. Another large percentage of them are just plain lazy. You can use this to your advantage if you do it the right way.
Let's say you are looking to bid on the term tools for a site that sells hammers through an affiliate program. You and I know that sales pages with little to no content are the best converters for a product like hammers. If you submitted the site it would be denied due to the new regulations. This is how you get around it...
Write a few pages of content about hammers, saws, and many types of tools. It doesn't even have to be good. Just a bunch of words and pictures about tools. Include about a dozen links to other sites about tools. The links need to work, but some can point to the same site. What you are doing is letting the editors at Overture view a site that meets all of their guidelines. Chances are, you will get that submission approved.
Once it is approved, take down the bogus page and put up your storefront. Save the bogus template in case you ever are reviewed by Overture the following year. They'll give you ten days to get your site back into compliance before they yank your listing. All you need to do is the sneaky switch again. Once a listing is looked at and found to be in compliance, you'll get a free ride for at least another year under their current site review system.
If this sound simple, that's because it is. Overture would go broke trying to police every one of their millions of listings in any shorter time frame than once a year.
February 16th, 2002, 12:22 AM #16
That's a good idea but the real issue is why in the hell do they think anybody with a content site is going to pay for a visitor?
What moron would pay money and not expect a return on that money?
What morons would think that some other moron is going to make a website and pay the original morons money for traffic if the other morons is going to loose their arses for every visitor to the page?
What morons? [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Maybe it pays to be a moron :confused:
We thought Overture was moronic, but look what happened in the last quarter for them ... their revenue increased over 150% !
What the heck, it worked for Forrest Gump too [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
February 16th, 2002, 07:59 AM #18
Seaslug, that idea would probably work.
The thing is, that for all the hash it takes to get into Over now, it's easier to optimize for Google!
It is seriously Fudged Up when it's easier to get a listing in a FREE engine than one that demands payment!
As for how their stock got back up so quick, did you guys see the latest email announcements from OverSure? They kept their Yahoo and MSN partnerships...investors (in general) seem to have the memory span of an amoeba and that other place dumping Over is probably already forgotten!
OverSure's revenue increasing just sucks! But I would have to examine just how they arrived at that figure, though, before agreeing that "being moronic" was what was responsible! There's quite a few things companies can do to "increase" their earnings without really earning the money in the expected way, like booking funded accounts as "sales" (claiming all the unused bidding account money is Income as if it was really already used and non-refundable), switching accounting methods mid-stream, selling assets, etc.!!! A lot of these methods are indeed legal and result in a "one-time" event which can cause a big change in the financial report...
Of course, they could really be fluking out and making money with the Moronic Listing Management Method--FOR NOW. But after people try listing sites that "meet their criteria" (without changing them over to a Real Revenue Site later--most probably won't think of that) and finding out that that's the way to die, I would say that Over's criteria will still be the end of them when more and more people refuse to list under those conditions (that is, more than Over planned for...)!

A good chunk of their increase came from payments from Yahoo and MSN.
It was a one time shot as far as I can tell.
What you really want to see is the FREE CASH FLOW. That's thenumber that tells you how well or not they are doing.

I would love a lesson about how to optimize my sites for Google. I have had exactly ZERO luck with Google and most of the other real search engines. I'm not sure what I've been doing wrong. I use frames in some of my sites and I was assuming that this was my problem.
What's the secret??

That's exactly what I was thinking. I have a 50/50 content/affiliate site and at the moment I don't think a PPC listing would be worth it right now. Like leader (kind of) said I'm better off optimizing for Google (and other search engines).
Are there any worth while affiliate friendly PPC search engines left in the game? Just a thought Heyder but this could be a good time to take advantage of this situation.

I can make a few general statements publicly (It's too easy to change an algo to get toooo specific) but nothing Earth-shattering (unless you haven't seen this info before, then it MAY be earth-shattering!).
Plus I can't say I'm a Google Expert anyway. But it has been easier to get visible rank in Google than it has been to get into OverSure! But here's some things that seem to have worked, FWIW:
Optimization! Put the keyphrase you want in your site's title. Forget aesthetics, too--get the keyphrase into a Headline on the page. Use the keyphrase lots on the page, too, but not repeated in a row. (None of this: Keyword, keyword, keyword, keyword. It will be spotted as Spam!)
That kind of writing can get your page to be listed as if it was 2 PageRanks higher than it really is, IF the other sites in your category are not doing the same thing, too. (Note that your ACTUAL pagerank will NOT change from keyword op!!!) This is according to an article I read somewhere (sorry, forgot where), and from what I've seen it's fairly accurate. SKILL has a lot to do with this technique--expect results to vary, and improve with practice. I've had results range from a rise equal to 1-3 points in PageRank, and if every site in a category is doing keyword op, there will be No Change, even with skill.
Speaking of keyphrases, it's a LOT easier to snag a decent listing under a keyPHRASE than a keyWORD. Single words are hotly competitive!
As for links, linkpop does count, too...especially in those categories where EVERYBODY knows about keyword op and for the single-word categories.
Perhaps as important as all of this: Read the Building Site Traffic forum.
Some sites have been removed from Google and there's quite a bit of speculation as to the reasons for it in that forum, ranging from incorrect use of CSS to potentially bad linking strategies that may be responsible...
