The Asgardians had always regarded Loki with a certain inexplicable caution. The God of mischief certainly had a reputation, to say the least. Granted it wasn't like the reputation of his brother, Thor - who made women of all ages swoon and fall at his feet, losing any shred of respect that Loki may have held for them.
Thor was the perfect opposite to Loki; a drastic contrast between the brothers could be seen all too clearly, and it sometimes made the trickster doubt his relation to him. While Loki was cold, calculating and intelligent, Thor was dim-witted, hearty and "charge first, ask questions later". It explained why the two never really saw eye-to-eye, that along with the unquestionable favouritism Odin bore for Thor over his slim, silver-tongued brother.
Loki suppressed a grimace of displeasure as he watched yet another maiden sigh in awe at the beauty of his fair haired, blue eyed brother. Nobody fell for him so hard, not Loki, not the one who could cast a spell on you as soon as look at you. Not Loki, the one who was cruel and evil and villainous to the eyes of others.
It made him sick. He was glad of the fact no-one treated him in such a way. He was left to his own devices, most of the time, when he wasn't being scorned for existing by Odin.
What in the name of Valhalla was it that people found so attractive in him? My brother. My stupid, arrogant, childish brother, how could anyone be attracted to that? The trickster questioned no-one but himself on this, for he knew that they would mistake his disgust for envy.
No-matter, Loki thought, shaking his thoughts from him and continuing about the banquet hall, observing women gossiping between each other, fascinated by each others lies and half-truths, and seeing men and warriors chortle heartily, discussing battle techniques and such.
He sighed in displeasure and turned to leave, preparing to head back to his quarters. As he went to bid goodnight to his parents, who were - surprise, surprise - gazing in pride at his perfect sibling, he caught an unfamiliar figure in the corner of his emerald eyes. A girl, petite and shapely, stood with one of the servants, nodding vigorously as though taking in a lot of information.
Overcome by curiosity, the prince glided through the crowd again, training his ears to listen to the conversation this newcomer was having with one of his servants.
"…ki" the servant was speaking. Was he talking about Loki perhaps?
He turned to look at the girl. She bit her lip and shifted her weight thoughtlessly onto the other leg, popping her hip out a little. The God of mischief noticed that, unlike most of the women here, she was average looking. Less bold and provocative, as though she wasn't aware of Thor's presence at all. Her clothing was prettier than that of a servant's, he observed. His eyes tracing over her features, licking up and down her body, taking in every aspect. The only things he could see that weren't average about her were her abnormally short height - standing at no more than 5'3" - and her a larger than average cleavage. Otherwise? There was nothing special about her.
Loki focused himself on listening to them again, after what was apparently only a brief second or so of distraction, "He likes playing tricks on those around him, you must bear that in mind," the servant continued and it occurred to Loki who this young woman could be, "You must attend to his every need though, regardless of whether or not he has tricked you."
This boring-to-look-at girl was going to be his new personal servant.
"Oleg!" A cool, smooth voice called authoritatively, a man strode towards the servant who was explaining in excruciating detail each thing the newcomer was to do each morning for Loki, "Who is this?"
"This is Jóhanna," The man, Oleg, looked as though he'd been caught doing something he shouldn't have, "She is to be your new servant, if it so pleases you..."
This must be Loki... Jóhanna's eyes licked over the tall, slim, intense being before her, Everyone I have spoken to insists that Thor is the better sibling. The brunette young woman cast a fleeting glance towards said sibling, who was brandishing the Mjolnir as though it were a toy, not like the weapon it was. His dirty blond hair flowed smoothly to his shoulders and brushed his heavily muscled arms as he moved, he didn't look intelligent, she admitted. He looked like the type who would plunge into a non-existent war, only to end up destroying the kingdom.
He looked like a child.
Jóhanna's focus shifted back to Loki and she could not help but stifle a snort of laughter as she noticed the drastic difference between the two brothers. Loki raised a dark, thin eyebrow, unimpressed and probably under the impression that she was mocking his figure. Quite the opposite, in fact, she was thinking how attractive the man was. With slicked back, silky looking black hair and thin, defined features, she couldn't help but to find him a little attractive. His jaw was strong and narrow, giving him a look of authority, like the son of a king should so have, and his eyes - his emerald green, bright, judgemental eyes - bore a mischievous glint, mixed with a strong gleam of intelligence.
The God's eyebrow remained raised, "We'll see how she copes," he said definitely, before adding, almost as an afterthought he wished for her not to hear, "See if she lasts longer than the last one..."
A steely glare was all that was needed to make Oleg place a large, barely clean hand on the small of Jóhanna's back and bid sincere apologies to Loki, before pushing her quite forcefully out of the room and his sight.
Once the trickster was apparently out of earshot, Oleg turned his light ginger bearded face to Jóhanna, "Jóka, what was that?"
Jóhanna winced at the nickname being used in such a harsh tone, but retorted nonetheless, "I was simply observing the absurdity that people find Thor more attractive than his quite plainly more intelligent and good-looking brother."
"You could be punished for speaking so rudely of the heir to Asgard's throne!" The old servant protested.
"Merely," the well-witted woman stated, "my own observation upon first glance. Forgive me."
"You're barely intelligent enough to take this role. I should throw you out right now!"
Jóka didn't bother stopping the short gasps of laughter that so briefly escaped her lips this time, "And what would you tell Loki? That I was thrown out for finding him attractive?"
Oleg was silenced with this well placed question, he had no reply for it, after all, it was true. Instead, he shuffled again, shifting from foot to foot for a moment or two before trudging down the grand golden hallway they stood in. After he had walked alone for a minute, he turned back and beckoned Jóka to follow.
Jóka was in fact a highly intelligent woman; regardless of what Oleg had so mistakenly said. She was also quite honest about her thoughts and feelings, despite what her instincts advised her against, she would rarely lie unless it was for nothing more than fun, which she so enjoyed.
The pair walked for what seemed to be an eternity until they stopped just shy of a small, yet still rather impressive looking, door, "These are to be your sleeping quarters," Jóhanna was informed, and with that snippet of information, Oleg left her to her own devices, but not before calling back one final thing, "You must find your way to the servants' dining area at 6am, you are not permitted any luxuries while working either."

We see a lot out there on cutting-edge search engine optimziation in terms of technology, methodology, and strategy. And there is no doubt that those are all essential aspects to successful seo. However, there's a lot less about some good old-fashion concepts that also work great in the world of search. While SEO is many parts technical, some parts creativity, and a bunch strategy, it's also a bit relationships and reputation.
As anyone in the SEO business knows, establishing quality relationships with other seo professionals is vital to success. Whether it be access to information, tools, or simply links, having quality relationships within the seo professional community can have a huge impact on your success in this business.
Relationship building is the ultimate link-bait strategy. I can't count the number of times that a professional relationship has led to new links for us and our clients. And it really shouldn't come as any surprise. After all, a link is nothing but an online endorsement. And what better way to get an endorsement than to establish a new professional connection.
Furthermore, in addition to the SEO's relationships, the relatioships of the seo's clients are equally important. For example, I work with legal professionals. Established legal professionals that have relationships within their community can have much faster seo results than their less-established or isolationist competitors.
No matter the industry in which you work, establishing and leveraging your professional relationships should be a core part of your SEOstrategy.
Relationships alone aren't enough. You have to have reputation. After all, if you're known as incompetent or an a**hole, you probably won't reap the SEO benefits of relationships (unless of course you're controversy marketing).
When an SEO has a bad reputation, it is not only likely to impair his/her ability to get new clients, it can also impede their ability to produce results. Again, SEOs with bad reputations are less likely to have access to the benefits of their good-reputation counterparts. That is not to say that having a "bad rep" means you can't be a good SEO. Let's face it, there are plenty of successful bad-reputation SEOs. However, imagine how much more potential they may have with a good reputation.
With regard to the client's reputation, the same applies. We have found that our attorney clients that have excellent reputations within their communities have much more success with seo, as well as, social media and networking. Which also makes sense.
Relationship Strategies
Here are a couple relationship building strategies that have had an impact on our SEO:
As you can see, there is a natural overlap between relationship building and search engine optimization. While relationship building takes time and effort, it will be well worth the investment.
You make some good points here and I agree that relationships with other people in our field are very important. I would also include relationships with your co-workers/business owners (in the event you are an in-house) and/or those with your clients. These are the ones that will have lasting impressions and be willing to continue utilizing your services and might I add pay the bills ;)
Commenting On Blog Posts - Yep, commenting is still a great way to meet people
I couldn't agree with this one more. Prior to SEOmoz I knew zero other SEO's. I knew of them via the variety of blogs out there, but never dialogued with them.
Once I started commenting on the SEOmoz blogs, I got to know an entire cast of characters that I now count among my virtual friends like Gianluca, Jen, Casey, Mike, etc. (The rest of you know who you are :)
I couldn't recommend highly enough being involved in the comment area (says the man who's been absent for 3 weeks)
Great post. Much like GNC, when I started in SEO I didn't know anyone and lacked a lot of basic skills. Through commenting and writing on the SEOmoz blog I've gotten to virtually know a lot of people. Its amazing how knowledge passes through different networks of people and not being a part of a community can set you back months. For those out there that are just lurking, join in and get to know people.
Ya, lurking doesn't do much. I'll take off my "invisible cloak" here. :D
I remember when I read how relationships help SEO, few years ago, I wouldn't get the whole concept. But after I'm more and more deep into all 5 tips you gave in this post, I see the SEO oportunities just come naturaly when you have good relationships and reputation.
Food for thoughts post...
reputation and relationships, as you say are not necessaraly correlated.
Not all those ones that have 10,000 followers and follows another 10,000 people in Twitter own a corresponding reputation.
The fact is that reputation is quality, and relationships quantity... and the really influencers are those that are bestknown for the quality of their knowledge and skills... so much that can exist paradoxes like people with no real relationships that owns an huge reputation amongst the others.
Talking about SEOs, things are not so extreme... because relationships are needed in order to be always "updated" about tactics, news, trends of search and web marketing, and reputation is something an SEO need to build in order to feed quality relationships and, therefore, being more competitive in the market (and with the great side effect that SEO are very friendly people)
Personally, I've to admit that I'm someone who tends to be a little on the stalker side (but I know I'm not the only one, right Dr Pete and Casey?) and so I find myself replying to tweets of SEO/Web marketing VIPs (if not tweet them directly), comment, write emails, ask for guest posting.
But, and this are my 2cents about this topic, be patient. First listen to "the sound of music", understand the overall rules and psichology of the people you want to relate to, understand if you really have something worth/intelligently funny/reasonably controversial to say/comment/reply. Do not retweet, repost commenting, do not simply thumbs up/down, comment, do not simply giggle all the time when you are in a conference in front of your "SEO Myth", talk to him. SEO relationships are relationships between human beings, that's all. And reputation come from an intelligent relationship between two or more intelligent people.
Well I was almost in complete agreement with you Gianluca...until I got to the "no giggling all the time at conferences" part.
Dude, that is so un-politically correct! Like why don' t you just walk right up to Dr. Pete and tell him to stop breathing! Don't you pay any attention to him Pete!
Ya know Jen, you're right. It'd probably be classified as a chortle. [full disclosure: I've never been to a conference and I'm making everything I'm saying about Dr. Pete up]
I've never met Peter in person, therefore - obviously - I wasn't referring to him about giggles... But I remember he wrote several times he could be considered a stalker (in the good sense).
What I'm sure, and I take the occasion here, was thanks to his words replying to a comment of mine that I took the courage to write my first YOUmoz post. So, thanks Master Stalker :)
Frankly. no disrespect intended, I believe this is mostly vapid. Maybe this would be filed better is SMM.
"No matter the industry in which you work, establishing and leveraging your professional relationships should be a core part of your SEOstrategy."
I must respectfully disagree. This quote, from a post on reputation management, is more than mildly ironic. "Leveraging" professional relationships is an easy way to destroy those relationships and the SEO's reputation. Clients don't want to be leveraged - especially by someone to whom they've paid for services rendered.
Respect for clients, a real understanding of their needs and objectives, and a lack of cognitive bias on the part of SEO services providers go further in maintaining a reputation than "leveraging" these business assets.
A good reputation is based on trust. If you view clients as transactions to be leveraged for your professional benefit, your business model (as an SEO) will be based on the transactional model - get in, get out, cash the check.
On the other hand, a relationship based on trust creates a stable client base and simplifies the SEO's marketing efforts. Clients remain in place because they trust the service provider, and SEOs don't have to beat the bushes to keep work schedules full.
Thanks for your talking points. Good to read a post on SEO business development.
As anyone in the SEO business knows, establishing quality relationships with other seo professionals is vital to success. Whether it be access to information, tools, or simply links, having quality relationships within the seo professional community can have a huge impact on your success in this business.
Howdy Paul. While I can't speak for the author, I can give you my take on what he meant. I think the relationships he was talking about leveraging were the professional (peer) relationships. For example, I've seen your comments for a long while, and I've gotten a sense of "who" you are by reading them.
So down the road, if I end up needing a good copywriter, I'd definitely be contacting you to inquire more about your services as I feel like I kinda, sorta know you.
For the people that I've developed virtual friendships with, I wouldn't need to even look into what they do or how they do it as I already "know" them.
If I had a site that was International, I'd contact Gianluca (gfiorelli1) in a heartbeat to contract his help with the Italian and Spanish.
If I needed Usability assistance, I'd be on Pete's (Dr. Pete) doorstep, check in hand.
Coding help? That's a no brainer. I'd be tweeting Casey (caseyhen) to ask if he was available for some sidework.
Before I became involved with the SEOmoz community, I would have been totally in the dark as to where to go. But thanks to the virtual relationships I've developed, I can leverage my friendships to be used for business. And this isn't taking advantage of them. It's for a mutually beneficial result.
Howdy, Cowboy,
Thanks for the clarification. It certainly puts things in a different light.
I guess my problem with the post is with the term "leverage," as in leveraging financial assets (hedging, puts and calls), leveraging the equity in a home, (reverse mortgages), etc. In this post, leverage connotes using professional assets (peers, clients, web workers) for one's own benefit, as in not mutually beneficial - more a one-way street.
It is clearly my personal bias, and not that of the poster. I wouldn't leverage sub-contractors, clients or other "carbon-based assets." It "feels" unethical, somehow, and not good for business long term. My bias falls into the (buzzword alert) "best practices" category. The people I use to outsource tech duties have become friends, they get paid before I do, I run interference with clients on their behalf, etc.
I re-read the post and, absolutely, your clarification makes total sense, as usual. Engaging professionals for mutual benefit and better client outcomes is one thing. In this case, the professionals involved understand what they're getting in to.
Leveraging professional assets, peers or clients, seems more one-sided. If I under-pay programmers to keep more for myself, they won't stay with me long, and my business and their businesses suffer. It's the concept of leveraging others, that bothers me. Mutual benefit I get completely.
Thank you, Cowboy. I've leveraged your responses for the past few years and learned a great deal from your level-headed replies. (Oh no, I'm using others for my professional gain.) Maybe I need to live up to my own overblown ethical standards, eh?
Best regards, and thank you for the clarification. I will now dismount from my high horse.
Reputation is so important - it takes so much work out of SEO thanks to natural links & personal recommendations. Especially true these days when social media can have both direct and indirect impacts as well. Love the tips here.
- Jenni
This post is right on the money. It speaks to a universal truth.
~Brett Yount
Since most of our clients do not know the first thing about SEO our relationships are more important than in other industries. Community involvement as well as technical expertise are needed, our reputation then will be elevated through work completed with integrity.
Now that's a very good point. A very very good point. Changed my isolationist attitude a bit, actually.
Relationships are important right?

After initially considering a winter holiday firework display, Elm Grove officials have decided to reschedule the Fourth of July Fireworks for Sept. 2. The Independence Day show was canceled due to extreme heat and dry conditions.
Elm Grove officials and the Fourth of July Committee had bounced around the idea of pairing the rescheduled fireworks with Christmas in the Grove. That plan was apparently rejected by the Parks and Recreation Committee because shortly after its meeting, a news release was sent out by the village detailing the Labor Day festivities.
There will be soda, beer and other refreshment sold, as well as extended pool hours from 1 to 8 p.m.
A DJ will play and food will be sold from 6:30 until 8 p.m. with the fireworks to follow.
According to the release, if the village's burn ban remains in effect, the fireworks will again be canceled.

From the kitchen table to a shared office space: My Year of Coworking follows a freelance writer through her 2013 transition into the more hopeful frontier of coworking.
Just a few months ago, when I would find myself working at my kitchen table, unshowered and still in my pajamas at 4 p.m., the notion of querying ELLE Magazine with an essay on love gone toxic seemed impossible and really, quite laughable. In my new office space, flanked by a small population of entrepreneurs chasing dreams, it doesn't. It might even be halfway written.
Or that's the hope, anyway, and the reason for this project.
On January 1, 2013, I purchased a 24 hour pass to Cruzioworks, the less expensive of two coworking spaces in my current city of Santa Cruz, California.
(For those unfamiliar with the term coworking: It's like a gym membership, only instead of loping along on a treadmill in pursuit of a more toned physique, you sit—or stand—in a shared office, in pursuit of self employed success.)
Sleek and airy, the coworking arena at Cruzioworks fills the ground floor of an old newspaper headquarters. A wall of windows reveals an amusing stream of pedestrians on their way downtown, or through the ever-revolving door of an adult pleasure shop across the street, where I imagine them perusing French ticklers and leather whips. "That one looks like it will leave some good welts, what do you say honey babe?"
In my new coworking space, the prehistoric printing press has been replaced by 30 or so well dressed geeks; designers, software engineers, and entrepreneurs with start-up dreams twinkling in their eyes—like Joey Jelinek, 26, who wears a bandanna every day until he launches his company, "Chimpdig." There is also a built-in cafe, an array of desks and plush arm chairs, and a break room, home to the perpetually-empty coffee pot.
If you haven't guessed by now, I am a freelance writer. I just turned 28. And I may be clinically insane.
I decided to join one of the world's 1,779-and-counting coworking spaces because I'm banking on the research: positive impacts on income, productivity, business network, and private life, as well as the fortunes of serendipity, have all been well documented as coworking has grown—almost doubling each year over the past seven years.
Recently, a successful artist reminisced that "freelance" is synonymous with "unemployed." I bristled. This isn't true—I have tons of work. Work is not the problem. The problem is deeper and much more grave.
A year and a half ago, I quit the last of my side jobs (slinging pizza and beer, steaming milk for espresso drinks, summers spent passing out bacon wrapped shrimp to tipsy mother-in-laws and scraping wedding cake off plates, etc), to see if I could "fly solo" on my writing alone.
A bold move for some, and quite possibly suicidal. At least for a college graduate with school debt, living in a seaside town where the cost of living is 176% that of the national average.
"Flying solo" is a generous way to sum up 2012: The vertigo of a downward spiral was the closest I came to that soaring "I'm flying solo!" sensation I fantasized about while arranging crudités on silver platters.
I flapped my wings, and like a paparazzi who catches a tendril of the Gaga's perfume, unceasingly chased down stories. Relationships toppled from optimistic heights, worry lines formed. There were hideous breakdowns in which I considered moving back home with mom, an option most twenty-somethings are aware, has become a common trend for the "boomerang" generation. Wracked with hope and/or delusion, I purchased a 24 hour coworking pass instead.
I try not to dwell on the fact that I'm paying to be here, rather than the more ideal opposite, and I avoid entertaining the widely known truth that writers, especially beginning writers, barely make any money. (With a few glorious exceptions, like Mara Altman for whom my envy and awe live a married life at great depths.)
In effect, as one of the only writers in an office full of competent techies, I'm going to fake it until I make it, or crash and burn rather publicly.
One month in, my lifestyle is similar to the kitchen table days: a constant pursuit of the next story, even while three simmer, five lay frozen stiff in the freezer, and one awaits its final seasoning. The challenge, will be figuring out how to keep the small pots from boiling over as I slide in a Goliath dream vessel brimming with magazine articles that have been steeping in creative juices for far too long. (The kind that could pay two months of rent each!)
In a recent interview by Andrew Zuckerman, the American painter and photographer Chuck Close, said:
"I always thought that inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightening to strike you in the brain, you're not going to make an awful lot of work."
I'm showered, I'm dressed, it's 4 p.m., and I'm not at my kitchen table talking to my beta fish; anything is possible, right?
I've already taken the plunge; will coworking help me find my wings? Or even just an open parachute for a softer landing? Either way, you, my dear reader, now have front seat tickets to how it all unfolds.

FEMA announces program to buy up to 33 floodplain properties in Ulster County
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has announced a buyout program for up to 33 properties in Ulster County that were "substantially damaged" by Tropical Storms Irene and Lee in August and September 2011.
The Ulster County Department of Emergency Communications/Emergency Management said the FEMA program — which will use a yet-to-be-announced amount of federal Hazard Mitigation Assistance funding — will target properties in the 100-year floodplain of the Esopus, Birch, Stony Clove and Rondout Creeks, the Saw Kill and unnamed tributaries.
Most of the properties are in Shandaken. The others are in the towns of Kingston, Olive, Ulster and Wawarsing.
FEMA, in a "public notice of intent," said properties will be bought "from willing sellers only."
"Properties will be acquired, structures demolished, and the sites graded and seeded," the agency's statement read. "Deed restrictions will prohibit future development, and sites will be maintained in perpetuity as open space under municipal ownership."
Arthur Snyder, Ulster County's emergency management director, said the county applied for $6.7 million to cover up to 38 properties but that federal officials did not say how much money is being designated for the 33 chosen properties.
"We put in a budget for it, but they haven't said what has been granted," Snyder said. "They also haven't said which properties they have accepted at this time. All they've done is release the public notice so that if anyone wanted to comment about the program, they would have an opportunity to do so."
Comments can be submitted by Dec. 27 to FEMA Region II, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, Leo O'Brien Federal Building, Room 742, 11A Clinton Square, Albany, N.Y. 12206-5421 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
"This began last December and is a very, very lengthy process," Snyder said. "The individual (property owner) had to provide a letter of intent by February, and since that time, we've been compiling all the different things that FEMA wants as part of the application package."
Among documentation needed was evidence that damage amounted to at least 50 percent of the value of a property. Continued...
"I had told all the folks participating in this program that this is easily a two-year process," Snyder said.
"We have to do appraisals, we have to do (demolition) contracts, we have to do environmental reviews," he said. "Just as an example, (FEMA) wanted pictures from the home looking up and down the street, pictures from up and down the street looking at the home, pictures of all four sides of the home. They were very, very specific in everything they wanted."

What is it?
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) has two parts; obsessions and compulsions. The obsession is an unwanted and irrational thought, often some kind of phobia, that keeps coming back. The compulsion is a ritual that is repeated to get rid of the unpleasant thoughts, and reduces the anxiety that the obsession brings on.
We all have mild obsessions and compulsions ("Did I really lock the back door? Hmm, better go and check"), but OCD is an extreme form and starts to interfere with having a normal life.
What are the signs?
Common obsessions include fears of dirt, contamination, illnesses such as Aids or cancer, being trapped, or family members being hurt or killed. Hours can be spent performing rituals such as hand washing, cleaning, checking, or counting.
Is treatment needed?
If the OCD is interfering with everyday life, the answer is yes. Getting help for the disorder means a person will have less anxiety and depression. Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) can be very helpful in allowing someone to cope better with unpleasant thoughts and modify their behaviour. Some medicines can also be prescribed for OCD. Start by contacting your family doctor.

A few weeks ago, I came across this story on my Google alert for youth soccer: A Virginia girl helping to collect and ship used, good condition soccer equipment for a youth girls soccer team in Afghanistan. To read the full story,
click: here. While I do not know a lot about the culture in Afghanistan, I can appreciate that in a war-stricken country where girls do not have the same freedoms as they do here in the United States, they are given an opportunity to have a new sense of self-discovery through a sport, soccer.
On a related note, a book was written about Afghani girls playing soccer: Kabul Girl's Soccer Club by Awista Ayub. The story seemed fascinating, so I downloaded the book to my Kindle. I hope in a few weeks to have it read and write a follow-up blog book review. In the meantime, to get a different perspective on youth soccer, I invite you to check out the website and read the book! In the meantime, you can read this well-written book review.

Ray Allen has played in Boston as an opponent 15 times before. He knows what it's like to play under the fabled Celtics banners, knows exactly how the crowd treats visiting players.
His 16th appearance there as a visitor will be substantially different.
Not only will his trip there Sunday be his first as a former Celtic, but it will come with him donning the colors of perhaps the team's biggest rival these days, the reigning NBA champion Miami Heat, the club that has ousted Boston from the playoffs in each of the last two seasons.
And make no mistake, Allen has been getting ready for everything that will accompany this trip for quite a while.
"I've thought about it," Allen said. "I think more about who, family-wise, is going, who can go and sorting the whole protocol out. I don't know what to expect from their side. But it's an interesting concept because I've always gotten a warm welcome, even before I started playing there. I just want to win. Everything else will take care of itself."
When he played there as an opponent in the past, Allen typically got warm receptions. He starred at Connecticut and has deep roots in New England, and those two things go a long way in generating respect from the Boston fan base.
Then he joined the Celtics in the summer of 2007. A year later, he helped them win a championship. He bled green.
Now, not so much.
So on a Sunday afternoon before a national television audience, the big story won't be the return of the Heat to the site of their season-saving Game 6 win in the Eastern Conference finals last year, or the first trip back to Boston for LeBron James since his epic 45-point virtuoso performance in that game, or even the memory of how Celtics fans cheered wildly for the last few minutes of that blowout loss as a "thank you" to their team.

If you've already read some posts on my blog you may have an idea of what I'm on the look out for when it comes to home decor
and interior design. I don't go with trends although I do like to watch the current styles, colours and designs and I may get some
inspiration from what I see. However, I always add my own style and it is important for me that the end result should always be
a style that will be unique and individual.
Finding a style that you like may be easy but finding quality furniture and unique room decor at an affordable price is not
so easy.
If you are looking for a unique collection of furniture that has been designed by fresh talented designers then have a look
at Made.com.
Made.com offer a new way of buying furniture which enables you to buy furniture at great prices. Every 7 days, orders are
combined for a particular piece and it is then put into production and by manufacturing only what has been ordered will
reduces costs, these savings are then passed onto you. As furniture is made to order, it can take a little longer to deliver. But if you are getting a quality design, beautiful build
and an unbeatable price would you mind waiting that little bit longer? I know I wouldn't!
Here are some of my picks from Made.com:
Sofas and armchairs

The CMHC. - Annual Renovation & Housing Survey/Report.
February 7, 2013, 9:06 am
By David Knowles
The Canadian Mortgage & Housing Corp. - Annual Renovation & Housing Survey/Report.
Every year CMHC releases The Renovation & Housing Survey/Report - 10 pages of the most up to date, detailed information on Kingston area home owners and their plans to renovate.
It's a detailed analysis of renovation activity in our area - right down to the home owners age, income, what they intend to build, and how much they intend to spend.
It's the who, what, where, when, and why of renovation activity in the Kingston market. You might say it's the marketing professional's handbook!
We take that data and break it down by age groups and income levels and finally percentages and project categories - such as additions, bathrooms, kitchens, basements, windows and doors etc.
Then we take that data and overlay the 2011 census data for each of the 40 communities that make up Kingston. Such as: Henderson, Polson Park, Rideau Heights and the Inner Harbour - each of these reports is in turn 4 to 10 pages of detailed housing and demographics information.
When we're done we have a crystal clear picture of all the building activity in Kingston. Then we do the same study for South Frontenac and Lennox Addington.
It's marketing know how like this that allows us to say: "We help builders attract and win more projects at profitable prices so they can grow their business and enjoy a reliable and above average year round income."
We also work through hours of direct research with our builders to create an "Avatar Profile" of their best customer - you know, so we know who were talking to when we start spending your advertising budget.
Then we put in a few more hours to sift through every benefit you bring to the table until we find that one benefit that makes you "Remarkable" - you know, because we want to persuade your best customer "Avatar" to become your customer.
It's only after we do all this that we feel comfortable, designing a website, producing a video, writing a radio commercial, developing a social media or ad-word campaign or launching a full marketing program that will bring our builders greater success.
The choice is clear, if you're looking for greater success this year - we know builders, we know the market and we know how to deliver the market to you - it's what makes us "Remarkable"!

Nintendo 3DS unveiled with Kid Icarus

More On:
Kid Icarus Uprising
Nintendo DS
While we were all expecting a first look at the
at E3 I really wasn't predicting that it would debut with a new
Kid Icarus
game. There have been rumors for years but now it's official: Sora team, the studio behind Smash Brothers Brawl, is quite appropriately readying a Kid Icarus game for the 3DS launch. Naturally the game looks just like the Kid Icarus elements in Brawl, which is impressive considering this is our first look at the 3DS's graphical capabilities. As you can see from the trailer it looks at least on par with the Wii. This is a relief but also casts some doubt on how the Wii will perform with a first party handheld alongside it that is just as powerful.
In terms of the technical details the 3DS has a much needed analog nub and a wide aspect top 3D screen, with a smaller touch screen below. Supposedly 3D effects and touch controls don't work well together so we're only getting a single touch screen again. However there are also tilt and motion sensors built in so we might see some iPhone or Wii style games. The Wifi is intriguing--the 3DS has an active hotspot search that looks for access points even when it's closed. It's not as persistent as a Kindle but it's a big improvement over the current DS's crappy online functionality.
At this point we don't have a release date or pricing for the 3DS, but developers like Konami, Capcom, Atlus and Volition will be bringing properties like Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Trauma Center (probably) and Saints Row (yeah!) to the 3DS. Make sure to check back later--I'm sure our on site team members will post some hands on impressions later today.

A new forecast from ABI Research says the global volume of mobile data traffic will exceed 107 exabytes in 2017, eight times more than the anticipated total for 2012. However, it points out that this doesn't mean a 'data tsunami' is on the way.
Aapo Markkanen, senior analyst at ABI Research, said "It looks like 2015 will be the last year when the traffic volume will grow by more than 50% annually. And that will happen despite of the fact that the monthly average per wireless subscriber, worldwide, will increase to almost 1.5 gigabytes by the end of our forecasting period."
ABI says much of the overall data consumption will depend on how much on-demand video content will be delivered over cellular networks. It also points out that inadvertent data consumption has been a surprisingly large source of traffic.

Towards molecular computing: co-development of microfluidic devices and chemical reaction media
King, Philip, Corsi, Josephine C., Pan, Ben-Hong, Morgan, Hywel, de Planque, Maurits R.R. and Zauner, Klaus-Peter (2012) Towards molecular computing: co-development of microfluidic devices and chemical reaction media. Biosystems, 109, (1), 18-23. (doi:10.1016/j.biosystems.2012.01.003).
Full text not available from this repository.
Microfluidics provides a powerful technology for both the production of molecular computing components and for the implementation of molecular computing architectures. The potential commercial applications of microfluidics drive rapid progress in this field—but at the same time focus interest on materials that are compatible with physiological aqueous conditions. For engineering applications that consider a broader range of physico-chemical conditions the narrow set of established materials for microfluidics can be a challenge. As a consequence of the large surface to volume ratio inherent in microfluidic technology the material of the device can greatly affect the chemistry in the channels of the device. In practice it is necessary to co-develop the chemical medium to be used in the device together with the microfluidic devices. We describe this process for a molecular computing architecture that makes use of excitable lipid-coated droplets of Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction medium as its active processing components. We identify fluoropolymers with low melting temperature as a suitable substrate for microfluidics to be used in conjunction with Belousov–Zhabotinsky droplets in decane.

Environmental Awareness Through Media ProductionsArchive for Viridor
Those Who Helped with Plastic Shores: Carymoor Environmental Trust
21/04/2012 at 11:04 am · Filed under Conservationist Action, Disposal of Waste, Green Living, Human Action, La Mode Verte Research, Non-Atmospheric Pollution, Stories of Hope, Wildlife and tagged: Carymoor Environmental Trust, Fly-tipping, Landfill, Plastic Shores, Recycling, Viridor
In the run up to the main launch of Plastic Shores in London on the 4th May, we wanted to write a little about the various organisations that have helped us out along the way. One group that doesn't actually feature directly in the film but were instrumental in securing us most of our footage of landfill and recycling centres is the Carymoor Environmental Trust. LMV was put in touch with Juliet Lawn at the Trust through a mutual friend and we were introduced to representatives of Viridor, who own and run the nearby Dimmer landfill site. Carymoor are an environmental education and nature conservation charity who have established over 100 acres of diverse habitats over capped landfill in east Somerset. This gives schools and community groups a unique opportunity to study what happens to our waste and how we can manage it after it has been disposed of, particularly in relation to land restoration. In some of the habitat areas the Trust had set up, it was almost impossible to tell the bustling life of flora and fauna (see below) hid beneath them 26 metres of rubbish. Carymoor operates out of a beautiful sustainably built eco-centre (pictured above) that generates most of its energy through solar and wind. A grey water unit also ensures much of the water from the building is reused. It was through Juliet that LMV was given permission by Viridor to film the Dimmer Landfill Site, which features prominently in Plastic Shores. Viridor then went on to allow us to visit and film their recycling factory in Ford, West Sussex.
Interestingly, a recent BBC article in March of this year states that since introducing entry fees, Somerset landfill sites have experienced half a million fewer visits since April 2011 than normal. However, there has appeared to be a rise in the number of reported cases of fly-tipping in the same period.

Response / Comments: |
05/24/2011 – Agree – not reportable. |
Mr. Michael B. Verne
Premerger Notification Office
Federal Trade Commission
600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Room 303
Washington, DC 20580
RE: Reportability of Acquisition of Timberland Assets by a REIT
Dear Michael:
Thank you for your time in speaking with me this afternoon. This letter confirms our telephone conversation today in which you advised that the facts described below do not give rise to a l1ling obligation under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act (the "HSR Act"):
Company A is conducting business as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), as defined by the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). In the proposed acquisition, Company A, or one of its qualified REIT subsidiaries' (a "REIT Sub") to be determined, intends to acquire certain timberlands from Company B (which mayor may not be a REIT).
We assume that the parties to the proposed transaction satisfy the size of the parties test and that the transaction exceeds the size of the transaction test. We are also assuming for purposes of this letter that the proposed transaction does not qualify for exemption under section 802.2(c).
Section 802.5 provides that acquisitions of investment rental property assets are exempt from the requirements of the HSR Act. Accordingly, as a REIT (or a REIT Sub) operating in conformity with the applicable provisions of the IRC, Company A's acquisition of real property assets from Company B will be exempt from the premerger filing requirements of the HSR Act. This conclusion is consistent with the Premerger Notification Office's longstanding position that real property acquisitions by a REIT (including, without limitation, timberland acquisitions) are exempt from premerger filing requirements of the HSR Act.
As I noted in our telephone conversation, Company A finds this to be an important determination, in that it (or a REIT Sub) may make additional acquisitions of real property (including, without limitation, timberland) in the future based on the same factual circumstances discussed herein, and will necessarily rely on the Premerger Notification Office's advise that such acquisitions are exempt from the filing requirements of the HSR Act.
* A qualified RElT subsidiary, as used herein, means a subsidiary o[Company A that is controlled by Company A, where "controlled" is as defined in 16 C.F.R. §801.1 (b) generally as, (i) with respect to a corporation or other entity that issues voting securities, holding 50 percent or more of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer, or having a contractual right to designate 50 percent or more of the board of directors, or (ii) with respect to an entity that does not issue voting securities (e.g. partnership, limited liability company, or other noncorporate entity), having the light to 50 percent or more of its profits or assets upon dissolution.

KEAM 2012: 150 MBBS seats out of CAP
BY Our Entrance Exam Expert
June 27, 2012: With 6 days into the option registration process, three Medical Colleges under the Private Self Financing category has been removed from the option registration process.
MES Medical Colleges, Perinthalmanna, Kannur Medical College, Kannur and Karuna Medical College, Palakkad which had not signed the new agreement entered into by the Government of Kerala with the Kerala Private Medical College Managements Association on 22nd June, 2012, have been removed from the list of colleges to which the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations will be allotting 50% candidates under the Government quota. All these three colleges had been there in the allotment process based on the Government Order dated 15.6.2012.
Of the 11 Colleges included in the CEE allotment as per GO (Rt) No 1985/2012/H&FWD dated 15.6.2012, Dr Somerwell Memorial CSI Medical College was the first to come out, they having signed a separate agreement with the Government with the provision to collect Rs.3,75,000/- as fee from all candidates as in the Christian Medical Colleges. This hike in fee here, certainly was a set back to the Medical aspirants particularly since this institution was with the Government all through the years.
Only seven colleges out of the remaining 10 expected to be with the Association figure in the new Government order dated 22.6.2012 wherein, the provision for 15% Privilege seats was introduced. Only the minority colleges had community quota in the Government seats.
However, even after the GO was issued, all the 10 Colleges continued to be in the option registration process. However, on 26th June, 2012, they have been removed from the process. The students are totally dark on these issues, it seems as no information on the removal of the College has been cited in the website of the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE).
The fate of the options that have already been registered by Medical aspirants to these 3 Colleges also is in a balance. Reliable sources say that there is nothing for such students to be much worried about, as of now, since their remaining options can be processed with the registered priority itself. But the problem will be grave if these colleges come back to the process later. Students will have to be given time then to register options to these college also.
The net result of all these is that the Government is losing 150 seats to be allotted by the CEE at a fee of 1,50,000/- and the provision for 60 students of BPL/Low Income families and SEBC categories, to study for Rs.25,000/-, the fee as in Government Medical Colleges.
The gain of 200 seats through the inclusion of the 4 Medical Colleges under the Kerala Christian Medical College Managements Federation has been lost substantially, by the state and the students, with the loss of 150 seats.
The procedure that these three Medical Colleges are going to adopt for filling up these 150 seats is something that is being watched by the medical aspirants.
There is no Community quota now in Colleges other than those with minority status. But the announcement on the collection of the Community Certificate is still there with the deadline fixed for this as 30th June, 2012.
With the days ticking by, the allotment process has taken a new turn with the withdrawal of these colleges. But this is nothing new to the state. The only difference this time is that it has come at a time when everything was going on well.

Really good but make sure you store in fridge
This was delicious but I did not store it in the fridge and after a week went to get some more and inside had a lovely film of mould on it! So let that be a warning - store in fridge and use within specified time - but my fault for not reading storage info.

Deliciously blackberry
I bought this on the basis of other reviews and they are spot on. This is absolutely delicious, such an intense blackberry hit.

Heaven in a bottle
This is summer bottled. Also absolutely delicious used as a coulis over chocolate ice cream - Duchy of course. It is pricey so I do ration myself - no greedy kids allowed.

Population-based estimates of prevalence of HIV, HBV and HCV and HIV-related risk behaviors among male injecting drug users in Lagos, Nigeria (PDF)
Presentation at the 6th International AIDS Society Conference, Rome, Italy, 17-20 July
Tun,Waimar; Adebajo,Sylvia; Abiodun,Lolade; Karlyn,Andrew; Vu,Lung; Anyanti,Jennifer; Kawu,Issa; Sheehy,Meredith
Publication date: 2011
Presentation given by Population Council researcher, Dr. Sylvia Adebajo, at the 6th International AIDS Society Conference, Rome, Italy, 17-20 July 2011. Little is known about HIV and hepatitis B and C infections among injecting drug users (IDUs) in Africa, including Nigeria. Council researchers conducted a small survey among IDUs in Lagos to determine the prevalence of and risk factors for HIV and hepatitis B and C. Findings showed that the prevalence of HIV was low among IDUs. Widespread availability of sterile needles/syringes at pharmacies is likely keeping an explosive HIV epidemic at bay and must continue. There was a moderate prevalence of hepatitis B and C, and hepatitis B was associated with unsafe sex and frequency of drug injection. Over half of those surveyed had never tested for HIV, even though 42% had unprotected sex during their last sexual encounter; 18% had multiple sexual partners in the past two months; and 9% have shared needles/syringes before. More monitoring of and targeted interventions toward IDUs are needed to avoid an increase in HIV infections among this marginalized group.
