But even if I wasn't shooting, I was always a 'photography voyeur'...I just love to look at photos...lol

New to SEO
I am not like any of you pros out there. In fact, I'm just a small business man that's trying very hard to get my company noticed. I'm having a very hard and frustrating time doing this though.
A friend told me I have to get SEOmoz, so I did but I can't use it because I'm semi-computer illiterate. Everytime I instruct it to crawl my site for problems it says I have a problem right out of the gate so to speak.
My site is www.prodigywindowfilms.com but I think when I first started trying to promote it I just typed in just prodigywindowfilms.com and there in lies my problem.
How do I track, find and fix any/all prodigywindowfilms.com?
Please help me...I'm spending $100.00/month for a program that isn't helping me right now.

Endorsed Answers: 0SEO Analyst at Search Engine MechanicThere is a lot to be said here, but 1st I would stress that you do your best to take a breath and be patient.
These tools are great but for someone brand new I could understand it being a big task. You may want to think hard as to whether or not you might need an SEO consultant to help get some of the initial issues out of the way so you can focus on the content and not the more advanced issues.
Currently you are right... you have http://prodigywindowfilms.com/ and http://www.prodigywindowfilms.com/
It is a best practice to pick one version as your primary and use a 301 redirect to the other so all visitors and links end up at one junction. Right now you basically have 2 versions of your site. Depending on the platform, fixing a 301 issue can be basic or advanced.
This is where I would start.

Hi Paul,
Welcome to SEOMoz. I have been a Pro member since March of this year, and it took me a while to get a feel for all the tools too. The first thing I would like to suggest for your site is to make sure you have a 301 redirect set up directing the "www" version of your website home page to the "non www" page, or vice versa. I would suggest loading both pages side-by-side in Open Site Explorer and choosing the one that has the most page and domain authority as your preferred page. I would have given you a link to the results here, but it appears Open Site Explorer is overloaded or perhaps updating at the moment so I cannot access it. I'll try again in a few minutes...
Also, once you've got the 301 redirect in place, you will want to add a canonical tag to that reflects which version you are setting, so choose one of these two:
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.prodigywindowfilms.com" />
<link rel="canonical" href="http://prodigywindowfilms.com" />
and place this right after your <title> tag in your homepage source code.
I will try OSE again in a few minutes. After that, I'd be happy to process a crawl of your site and take a look at the error messages that are coming through to see if I can provide some direction. I'm sure you'll get several other helpers hopping on board here too.

Endorsed Answers: 0SEO Analyst at Search Engine MechanicDana,
Are you suggesting a 301 and a canonical to resolve the "www" vs. non version?
In my experience, that would be a redundant step.
on Oct 22, 2012 |
Hi Owen,
Yes, precisely. Redundant, but good in that the canonical tag really should be there as a pre-caution too, in the event someone decided to "borrow" Paul's content. I am not suggesting canonicals on both versions (just to clarify) only the one.
Do you think the canonical in this instance is completely unecessary? [just curious to know your thoughts]?

Endorsed Answers: 0SEO Analyst at Search Engine MechanicAha. Hmm, yes in my opinion it would be an unnecessary step.
I haven't seen a best practice suggesting both be present.
I am also not sure if it would protect someone from duplicating content, unless they "borrowed" :) the entire page (canonical tag included).
on Oct 22, 2012 |
Hello Owen,
I have blog where i have added 301 redirect from non www. to www. but still i am getting canonical errors in my blogs from some of my post. Can u suggest me important points for it.

I think you'd be best served to create a new question (if you haven't already) in the forum. A little more detail into what errors you are seeing may also be beneficial.
on Oct 22, 2012 |
Thanks Owen,
You have prompted a question in my mind about canonical + 301s that I will post in Q & A because now you really have me thinking! :-) I'm giving you a heads up so you can have a crack at responding first. I will post it momentarily.
I also don't want to detract from Paul's original question and go off on a tangent.
on Oct 22, 2012 |
Hello Owen,
As i told you i have added 301 redirect from non www. to www. also I have just recently created campaign in SEOmoz. Where i am getting important notices
26 Crawl Notices Found Issue: Rel Canonicalwhy i am getting such error any important suggestion from your end.
Regards & Thanks,
Sumit Kumar
on Oct 22, 2012 |
Aha, thanks Owen for getting me thinking about this. Yes, you are absolutely right, if Paul succesfully can do a 301-redirect, then that's the way to go and the canonical is not necessary and, in fact, if present could cause problems.
I watched a Matt Cutts video and then found a thread on this very subject here: http://www.seomoz.org/q/some-questions-on-canonical-tag-and-301-redirect
Thanks for excellent comments. Thumbs up!

I am a small business too and I was new to SEO just over 3 months ago too (my 2 sites are in google some keywords on page 1 now).
Good advice here. You need only one home page to rank so as not to dillute the relevance to search engines between several.
I'd make your home page title start with "Window Film by Prodigy Window Films" because the 1st word gets more SEO juice, "Window film" gets 27,000 Global Exact Match from google US at 61% competition while "Window films" gets 2,400 GEM at 60% competition, and you get both singular and plural to boot (without repeating "Prodigy Window Films" twice as it does now).
Then again your probably more after local business so same applies to the singular vs plural.
SEOmoz is good, its tools I prefer to others. As small business I can't do SEO all the time so use it intermittently. My subscription is running out soon but I will be back for the next SEO "push".
For a small business with lack of time doing my own SEO long tail words are better because I can can "fire and forget" then sit pretty until the next push, that's some pretty corny speak there but u get wat I mean? lol. Long tail keywords can also be closer to a specific intent such as buying something. High competition words you might be wasting your time if you are not constantly "in the race", unless you want to employ someone (SEOmoz probably a good place to look).

Cost of healthcare
amplify.comAccording to the Organization for Economic Development we spend $7,960 per person per year for health care in the U.S., totaling about $2.5 trillion. In comparison, the average OECD country spends $3,233 per person annually for health care. The U.S. Government currently covers 46% of U.S. health care expenditures, which means taxpayers foot the bill for $1.13 trillion of health care spending. In other words, taxpayers already pay $3,660 per person of the $7,960 annual bill for health care.
"Political independence is of little value without economic development. It was the task of our leaders in the past to work for political autonomy but now, that it has been accomplished, it is incumbent on the youth to make independence real by economic self-sufficiency..."
—Conrado Benitez (1889-1971), one of the framers of the Philippine Commonwealth Constitution, and was the former dean of the University of the Philippines.
Self-sustainability is true independence. A true test of our self-sufficiency is our 7Eleven Philippines. If more than half of the said convenient store's products are made in the country or were made by Filipino companies, we are truly self-sustaining and therefore we can stand on our own two feet. Unfortunately this is not so.
Drop in U.S. underground water levels has accelerated - USGS
reuters.comWASHINGTON, May 20 (Reuters) - Water levels in U.S.aquifers, the vast underground storage areas tapped foragriculture, energy and human consumption, between 2000 and 2008dropped at a rate that was almost three times as great as any time during the 20th century, U.S. officials said on Monday.
The accelerated decline in the subterranean reservoirs is due to a combination of factors, most of them linked to rising population in the United States, according to Leonard Konikow, a research hydrologist at the U.S. Geological Survey.
The big rise in water use started in 1950, at the time of an economic boom and the spread of U.S. suburbs. However, the steep increase in water use and the drop in groundwater levels that followed World War 2 were eclipsed by the changes during the first years of the 21st century, the study showed.
As consumers, farms and industry used more water starting in 2000, aquifers were also affected by climate changes, with less rain and snow filtering underground to replenish what was being pumped out, Konikow said in a telephone interview from Reston, Virginia.
Depletion of groundwater can cause land to subside, cut yields from existing wells, and diminish the flow of water from springs and streams.
Where is all the groundwater going?
Pakistan's Middle Class Extremists

TechGenesis Grants Benefit Central Ohio Start-ups
techcolumbus.orgI think I've posted before on how Central Ohio is rich in Tech-Heavy start-ups. However, I haven't had my fingers resting on the pulse of that industry as my attention has been scattered about with other things in the Region.
To the point: TechColumbus reported that 7 new tech ventures in Central Ohio will each receive $50,000 to fund specific projects and spur their growth. According to the article, these companies will receive the money to advance their product to the point that they can apply for more grants or receive money from investors after showing that these projects are viable.
This is the best kind of economic development. Businesses are not being poached from other areas (regionally or otherwise) and real, new ideas are being fostered, which will lead to legitimate added value and eventually, jobs. It's a good thing.
What is economic development?
Every Monday I will publish a column on Economic Development. The aim of this column is to identify the sources of economic growth and propose solutions to development challenges around the world. More specifically my aim is to propose solutions to the economic challenges of the least developed countries in the world. These countries are mostly located in Africa, Latin, America and Asia. What do we understand by economic development?
Economic development is the process by which we generate the resources to meet the essential needs that enhance our human experience. I will focus my analyses on three basic economic goods that are a key ingredient of economic development: health, education, and income. These essential goods are statistical components of the Human Development Index (HDI) which is used as a benchmark to evaluate the quality of life in nations around the world. (To be precise, the HDI uses adult literacy, life expectancy, and gross national income per capita as proxies for Health, Education, and income. According to Wikipedia, the HDI was developed by Mahbub Ul Haq, alongside others, based on Amartya Sen's capabilities approach). Why health, education, and income per capita?
Throughout ages, and across the globe, people want to live longer and healthier. It is therefore natural to include health as a key ingredient of development. As soon as Man can talk he starts searching for panacea.
Throughout human history and civilization, people have sought to expand their knowledge of the world around them and themselves. Prior to the advent of the scientific method, the distinction between knowledge and beliefs was blurry. Since then, we consider knowledge as justified true belief. The justification comes from demonstrating a belief as true using generally accepted methods of inquiry, proof, and demonstration within various disciplines. Philosophers demonstrate, mathematicians prove, scientist repeat experiments under a rigorous set of assumptions, and social scientists hypothesize… By understanding the world around us, we improve the quality of our life and by understanding ourselves as Humans, we find better ways to interact with each other and reap greater benefits from social collaboration.
Income is essential for a good life, because it allows us to procure ourselves goods and services that enhance our utility. I understand income as the value of our production that we exchange for other people's creations to meet our wants and needs, and pursue what we value in life. If I had more income, this blog entry would be longer.
There are multiple other goods that are universally valued but that I do not include in economic development, because they are not as easily quantifiable. Economics is the discipline that deals with the allocation of scarce resources to satisfy our needs. Analyses of allocation are most easily done with quantifiable means and ends. Happiness is a universal good, but cannot be easily quantified. We can scale happiness nominally, and have no common benchmark to measure happiness from one person to another.
Before we propose ideas that promote development, we will familiarize ourselves with some of the greatest insights of the economic analysis of development. I will introduce these ideas over the next few months by highlighting some of the contributions of my favorite development economists. This list is not exhaustive. There are more great thinkers than I can acknowledge, due to my limited time resource and knowledge. In no rigorous order, I will discuss the contributions of Adam Smith, David Ricardo, John Maynard Keynes, Roy Harrod and Evsey Dommar, Robert Solow, Robert Lucas, Garry Becker, Amartya Sen, Douglass North, and Jeffrey Sachs. That should keep us busy until summer.
As we discuss the contributions of these eminent minds to the field of economic development, I will also refer to some of their "accessible" work for a lay audience. Keep reading, and feel free to comment. Your feedback is always welcome.
'City Bike Plan Stuck in Rich Rut'
chicagonewscoop.orgGood points about the focus on downtown initiatives at the expense of transportation enhancements for Chicago residents in neighborhoods. by DAVID LEPESKA on chicagonewscoop.org.
"Mayor Rahm Emanuel plans to spend nearly $150 million to make Chicago "the bike-friendliest city in the U.S." That challenge is considerable, given Chicago's slow start compared to Portland and other bike-centered cities, and Emanuel's initial plan is drawing complaints about an inequitable distribution of bike-related investment.
The Chicago Department of Transportation's $18 million bike share program is to launch next summer with 3,000 bicycles and 300 rental stations–mostly in the central business district and on the North Side. The Bloomingdale Trail, to be built in a 2.5-mile out-of-use rail line extending from Wicker Park to Humboldt Park on the North Side, is expected to cost around $50 million over several years. The city planning commission recently approved designs for a $50 million flyover at Navy Pier, the busiest section of the 15-mile lakefront trail.
Thus far, the the city's lower-income areas are slated for just one project: A protected bike lane on 18th street, in the ward of Ald. Daniel Solis (25th Ward), though more such lanes could be be added next spring as part of a four-year $28 million construction plan."
Found article from post in Cycle Collective.
"The Next Metro Economy"
All week Atlantic Cities' project has pushed out some great work from Bruce Katz (Brookings) and Judith Rodin (Rockefeller Foundation) in "The Next Metro Economy". "The Next Metro Economy" is a special report from the Brookings-Rockefeller Project on State and Metropolitan Innovation looking at state, local, and regional efforts to revitalize our stagnant economy.
Today's piece on New York and Governor Andrew Cuomo's program to create competition among regions of NY for development projects is an excellent read. Here's a brief overview of the competition:
These councils were given just over three months to create strategic plans that articulated a vision for regional economic development, outlined the implementation process, identified available resources, and established performance metrics. These strategic plans were then judged by a panel of experts, who selected the winning plans and determined how much state funding each region would receive.
In fact, my home geographic locale (North Country) was chosen as one of the four winners.
Four regions won the title "best plan" in the competition, which came with a state investment of just over $100 million each… North Country included an emphasis on high-tech and traditional manufacturing and green energy production as well as investments in area railways, broadband access and medical research.
You can read their full proposal here. For a place that has been long propped up by Fort Drum, state prisons, and a small amount of industry that has slowly moved out over the years, this is certainly a big win for the North Country and its constituents.

text: The hi-ball is pretty much the most awesome place ever. It was a 3D party so there were screens with 3D things and the glasses and 3 djs playing the past three decades of music. Lots of fun, lots of people - bowling alleys, private karaoke rooms, awesome dance floor. I recommend it to everyone. Afterwards we had magnolia's and now it's bedtime. Oh I haven't danced like that in forever. My legs are going to be so sore this weekend.

The Story of Beautiful Girl
Rachel Simon
On a stormy night in small-town America, a couple, desperate and soaked to the skin, knock on a stranger's door. When Martha, a retired schoolteacher living a safe and conventional life, answers their knock, her world changes forever.
For they are fugitives. Lynnie, a young woman with an intellectual disability, and Homan, a deaf man with only sign language to guide him, have escaped together from The School for the Incurable and Feebleminded, a brutal institution where people with disabilities are left to languish, shuttered away from the world.
In a moment of despair, they reveal that Lynnie has a newborn baby. But, moments later, the police bang on the door. Homan escapes into the darkness, Lynnie is captured. But just before she is returned to The School, bound and tied, she utters two words to Martha: "Hide her." And so begins the unforgettable story of Lynnie, Homan, Martha, and baby Julia – lives divided by seemingly insurmountable obstacles, yet drawn together by a secret pact and extraordinary love.
It's 1968. In the middle of a dark and stormy night, an elderly widow's evening is interrupted by a knock on her door. She's greeted by two people who will change her life forever.
On her doorstep, she finds Lynnie and Homan. Lynnie is a white woman with learning disabilities. Homan is a black deaf man. Together, they've escaped the confines of the Pensylvania State School for the Incurable and Feebleminded. And Lynnie's just given birth to a baby girl, the beautiful result of a horrific incident which took place within the so-called school.
Despite the pair's best efforts, the authorities arrive, carting Lynnie away in a straight-jacket while Homan – who we discover is referred to simply as Number Forty Two by the school staff, as he can't communicate with them – takes off. Before she's taken back to the school, Lynnie – who can't speak – found the courage to whisper two words to the old lady, Martha: "hide her". Martha does what most in her situation would run away from, and takes on the task of raising the baby left in her attic on her own.
The Story of Beautiful Girl flits between the story of Martha and baby Julia trying to start a new life together, Lynnie back in the school, Homan on the run, and Kate, one of the few caring staff members in the brutal, prison-like school. It's a touching tale of unlikely romance, lives torn apart and reunited again, and shows a fascinating insight into the way in which disabled people are treated in society.
The book was inspired by author Rachel Simon's own life. Her sister has learning disabilities and while their parents decided to keep her at home, Rachel has met dozens of people over the years who were institutionalised. Just a few decades ago, people with various different disabilities were still being locked up in appalling conditions. At the fictional Pennsylvania school, residents were subject to horrendous physical, mental and sexual abuse, being treated as second-class citizens. This was Simon's attempt to tell the story of every person who was failed by the system.
From this point of view, the book really struck a cord with me too. In my day job, I write for a magazine which is for disabled people and carers across Britain. Day to day, I'm writing about topics like disability rights, the world of care and the politics surrounding disability. When I thought about all the disabled people, family members and carers I've talked to and met over the last year through work, it absolutely broke my heart to see how standards of care for people with disabilities used to be and how different life would've been for them just a few decades ago.
Contrasting both the cruelty and kindness of humans, Simon offers a great insight into the injustice often suffered by disabled people, her sister included, wrapping it all up in a tale of love, bravery, trust, understanding and unlikely relationships, romantic, familial and friendship.
For me, this was one of those books that I just couldn't turn the pages fast enough, but I do wonder if it'd mean as much if I wasn't interested in disability rights myself, which is why I can't quite bring myself to give it five stars. Overall though? The Story of Beautiful Girl is, well, beautiful. It's definitely not one that you'll forget.

Nodular Syphilitic Chancre Without Ulceration Dr. Joaquim Motta recently described a patient who showed on the internal aspect of the prepuce a firm spherical nodule, as large as a grain of corn, which was associated with inguinal adenitis on the corresponding side, and which was slightly inflammatory and painful. The patient had had sexual intercourse with several normal women before the appearance of the nodule, but the last coitus had been with a prostitute, about ten days previously. The nodule was covered with normal epidermis, slightly whitish, and showed no evidence of erosion of the mucous membrane, either actually existing or as having healed. The patient affirmed that he had never observed any defect in the lesion, which at first was the size of a small shot, and which had progressively increased to the size of a grain of corn. In spite of the nonsyphilitic aspect of the lesion and

Case Studies - Crossroads Copenhagen
Location: Ørestad Nord district
of Copenhagen, Denmark
Size: 110
acres (45 hectares)
Dates of Planning and
Development: 1999
to the present
Developers: Ørestad
Development Corporation

Vision: To "develop Ørestad Nord into an international center of research and development of new technology in the fields of culture and media."1
A new community of students, workers, and residents has been formed in the Ørestad Nord district of Copenhagen, providing a control group for the study of new technology applications in society. Crossroads Copenhagen is a partnership between the University of Copenhagen, the Danish Consumer Agency, the Royal Library, the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR) and the IT University of Copenhagen, all located in Ørestad.
A residential and working community of over 20,000 people now occupies this formerly vacant waterfront site, which is linked to central Copenhagen by a transit line and to Sweden by a bridge crossing the Øresund. Parks and canals within the site integrate water and open space.
The above-mentioned parties and Ørestad residents initially came together six years ago to discuss practical issues facing the community. Subsequent to that early meeting they developed a collective vision of how collaborative technology research could be applied to everyday life. The City of Copenhagen and the Danish Ministry of Transport provided the initial planning, infrastructure, and financial support. They also designated new buildings for the IT University of Copenhagen and DR, among others. The transportation infrastructure, including the Øresund bridge and transit line extension, was nationally funded. As development proceeded, however, the power for planning and organizing shifted to the founding groups.
Crossroads Copenhagen's focus on research, experimentation, and testing has created a university-like environment, even for the non-academic population. Many residents are involved in testing and feedback for area projects through a "Living Lab" program. Membership in the Living Lab is optional and structured so that participants can work with new technology applications and act as market test subjects as they see fit.
Crossroads Copenhagen's research projects are collaborative initiatives involving several partners. For example, Nokia, Hewlett Packard, and the Copenhagen Business School are involved in the Mobiconomy project, which studies the profitability of added services (such as Internet, gaming, and GPS capability) for mobile phone users. Another mobile e-learning project has used PDAs and Danish Broadcasting Corporation clips to improve the Danish skills of non-native speakers. Cultural events and exhibits have also been used in an effort to involve the Copenhagen community outside of Ørestad.

Cape Town snub 'a shame' says Barritt (From Watford Observer)

Brad Barritt says Edinburgh's rejection of Saracens' offer to play Heineken Cup match in Cape Town is 'a shame'
4:17pm Thursday 11th October 2012 in Sport By Tom Allnutt
Brad Barritt says it's "a shame" that Edinburgh rejected Saracens' offer of playing their return Heineken Cup fixture in Cape Town, South Africa.
Edinburgh released a statement on their website this morning insisting the arrangement would be an inconvenience for their fans and a disadvantage to the team.
But Barritt, who was born in Durban but now plays for England, believes the match would have been a great opportunity for all the players involved.
The 26-year-old said: "Edinburgh obviously have their reasons but as players we obviously thrive on playing in big arenas and in front of big support.
"I believe Cape Town would have been a sell-out so I think not to have had that opportunity is a shame.
"I think both teams would have enjoyed playing in a different environment and at a world-class venue and in such a great city like Cape Town but nevertheless, we get on with it and we look forward to welcoming them back to Vicarage Road."
Barritt is making his 100th appearance for the Men in Black at Murrayfield on Saturday.
Kick-off is at 1.35pm and the return fixture is scheduled for January 20.

CCSU Monmouth Sacred Heart
November 9, 11
NEC men's soccer summary
Eight schools have won at least one NEC tournament title. St. Francis (NY) ended Robert Morris' string at two-straight titles with its own back-to-back tournament titles in 1995 and 1996. Long Island snapped that streak with the 1997 tournament championship, but the Terriers came back to capture their third title in four years in 1998. After a near perfect regular season and a top-20 national ranking, UMBC took home the 1999 championship. Following a win over Lafayette in an NCAA Play-In match, the Retrievers went on to the NCAA Tournament, and nearly upset top-ranked Duke, losing 4-3 in overtime. In 2000, Fairleigh Dickinson captured its first NEC title since 1989. The Knights defended their championship in 2001 with a 2-1, four-overtime win over Long Island in the longest championship game in league history. FDU then went on a spectacular run to reach the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament by defeating Boston College, Princeton and Seton Hall, before succumbing to North Carolina, 3-2, in three overtimes with a Final Four berth at stake. FDU made it three in a row in 2002, winning both their tournament games in penalty kicks after playing to scoreless ties. The Knights won an NCAA Tournament game for the second consecutive year, defeating Holy Cross, before falling to fourth-seeded St. John's in double overtime. FDU collected its fourth straight NEC Tournament title in 2003 and finished the year ranked #23 in the final NSCAA/adidas poll. Long Island broke through in 2004, stopping the FDU streak at four with a 1-0 victory over the Knights. Robert Morris claimed its first league championship in 11 years in 2005. Monmouth achieved its first-ever national ranking in 2006 and went on to claim the NEC crown for the first time in 16 years. CCSU utilized a terrific late-season run to win the 2007 NEC championship as the #4 seed, then went on to the NCAA Round of 16 with wins over #15 Harvard (3-2) and #9 Tulsa (3-2) before falling to UMass (3-1). FDU made a triumphant return to the top in 2008, winning its record sixth league title with a 7-2 win over Mount St. Mary's. After capturing its fifth consecutive regular season crown, Monmouth took home its second NEC tourney championship in four years. The Hawks then advanced past #12 UConn in penalty kicks a first round NCAA marchup in West Long Branch. Monmouth finished the 2009 season ranked #13 in the nation after reaching as high as #5 in the NSCAA poll. In a season that saw Monmouth ranked as high as #4 in the nation, the Hawks repeated in 2010 after making it six straight NEC regular season titles. The 2011 season saw a three-way deadlock for the regular season crown between CCSU, Monmouth and Sacred Heart, but it was the Hawks who would go on to three-peat in the NEC Tournament. Monmouth then advanced past Stony Brook via PKs in NCAA Tournament first round actions. Long Island coach Arnie Ramirez, who also coached the Puerto Rican National Team, led the Blackbirds to the NCAA Tournament in 1985 and 1986. Long Island's Giovanni Savarese, the 1992 NEC Player of the Year, now plays for the New York/New Jersey Metrostars and was an MLS all-star in 1996. In 2000, UMBC's Giuliano Celenza joined Duke Shamo of St. Francis (NY) (1997 & 98) and Monmouth's Joni Kallioinen (1990 & 91) as the only repeat NEC Player of the Year award winners. In 2003, FDU's Andrew Nucifora was named an NSCAA/adidas third team All-American, while teammate Nadav Gottesman was tabbed to the CoSIDA Academic All-America third team. Long Island's David Ledet was tabbed to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America first team in 2004. Saint Francis (PA)'s Bryce Luetzen was chosen as a second team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American in 2007. Monmouth's Ryan Kinne (second team) and Daniel Bostock (third team) were both named adidas/NSCAA All-Americans in 2009. Bostock was also tabbed an ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American. In 2010, Kinne (first team), teammate R.J. Allen (second team) and Sacred Heart's Marcello Castro (third team) NSCAA/Performance Subaru All-Americans. The Mount's Eric Detzel (first team), along with Saint Francis (PA)'s Sean O'Reilly (first team) and Patrick Fleming (second team) were all tabbed 2011 Capital One Academic All-Americans. Monmouth's R.J. Allen earned his second straight NSCAA All-American nod in 2011, picking up second team honors.

We bought new house and I need to test network (RJ45) and coax jacks to see which ones are working. How can I do that without actually connecting computers/cable boxes?
Very good question but you need to find out more information. The very first question on my mind is.. Where do they connect to ? if they are connected to anything else at all? The solution Find the starting point(A) and the end point(B) of either cable. Using a multimeter and a return cable you test continuity of the cable. Either using Ohms = 0 which means short circuit(in this case good because the cable is good) or some meters have buzzer if there is continuity.
RJ45 Netw4rok cable used for 10/100Base Networks. This is very time consuming because RJ45 have several strands of cable so testing one after the other can be beach. But one clever solution is to make a loopback on point B and test the correspoding points on PointA. If any one does not loop back then the cable is most likely broken. There are also network testing equipment that do the same as mentioned above.. but you have nice flashy lights and a nice loopback box supplied.Ebay a few bucks each for el cheapo ones. COAX Coax is a funny one and depending on what you need it for. Coax for TV, satellite or CCTV again. just test using a multi meter test the two end points. Center to Center and Shield to Shield. An extra step here is to test for short circuit between singal(centre) and shield) so just on one end using ohm, test center and shield and you should have NO reading(not 0ohm0just nothing) If you get a reading at all you will get interference and the cable is likely to be damaged or unusable. The other part if its used for a network then it all has to be connected and terminated to test it(but its unlikely its used for network because these types or network have been eradicated because of unreliability) REMEMBERThis will only test if the cables are in an operable state. So you connect it and it will work. The bandwidth, noise-to-signal and interference will greatly depend on the quality of the cable, workmanship during installations, etc. EG The RJ45 could be rated for Gigabit but your bandwidth could a mere 250mbs(1/4 bandwidth) because the shielding has not been done properly, or the ends have been poorly installed, the cable is near high voltage lines, the cable is severely bent ins several places along the way. COAX in general either works or not.But for Analog Video; again many factors come into play. For digital(eg satellites) it should be ok |

Suleiman is actually pretty good after the expansion. Bismarck, on the other hand... I kinda agree with you. Still fun, but kinda underpowered.
I remember seeing a patch note or something and thinking, "huh, Sully is perhaps not objectively the worst Civ ever created now," but I haven't played as him since. Biz is actually not that underpowered IMO, but you have to play him in a very specific way to make it work: Get Honor, murder ALL THE BARBS, and turn the resulting Hunnic horde on your nearest neighbor. Rinse, repeat (or just win however you want because your empire is now enormous). Honor sucking less now helps Biz a lot IMO.
Nate and I played one of our usual games, us and 6 AIs just screwing around to see what happens, and he was Germany. He had an unholy number of Landsknechts mid-game. It was terrible.
The only bad part was picking up Barb Pikemen, since they didn't upgrade into Landsknechts. But I really wasn't paying for any military units at all, and my cities could focus on building other things. Like buildings. And wonders. And wonderful buildings. Upkeep was rough early on. There's that whole unit cap thing which has awful consequences when you go over.
Landsknechts don't fight any better than Pikemen, though, do they? I thought they were just half-cost pikes. Which is awesome.
Yeah, but they don't have the cool German name. And yeah, they're cheap to buy and build as well. But why bother? Those former Barbarian brutes have a ton of upgrades that they carry with them.
Wait, don't you mean barbarian spearmen? Honestly I can't remember. Some of the barbs were upgraded into the LKs. I remember that.
Huh. You're right. I just tried out a game with Bismarck, and spamming those suckers is actually really powerful... even on higher levels. It feels so weird to be the one with a carpet 'o units instead of the AI. "Siege units? Nah... don't bother. We've got the incredible disposable infantry!"
Seeing some recent uptick in activity in this thread brings to mind that this thread is where I miss Gus the most. He really kept things active, and the detailed posts he favored made for good reading too.
While loading up my new xmas iPod I was reminded that the one area where Civ IV still beats the pants off Civ V is the soundtrack. It's not that the Civ V score underperforms in any way, but IV set the bar so high. I miss hearing Miserere as my knights are crossing the countryside to go on a crusade. I love the intro theme for Gods & Kings but vs. Baba Yetu? Civ V had some big shoes to fill!
Short question - do any of you know some nice mods out there by now ? Perhaps something along the lines of Fall from Heaven ?
Not that I'm aware of, though I'm not active on CFC anymore. Something on that scale would likely take a while though, and IIRC the patch that released the DLL source code was just released back in September / October.
It's not on the same scale as FoH, but have you tried the NiGHTS mod? Some people consider it a significant improvement over Civ5. http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=20051
In terms of just outright improvement without changing the game very much, I'm a big fan of CivUp/GEM.
No, I haven't played since a month or so after the original game was out. Just bought the extension, and thought maybe there are by now a few nice mods available. Looking via Google was a bit puzzling, though, so I turned to this thread of nice people. Thanks, will take a look ! And the same to Aaron, of course ! Edit: And extra thanks to you for reminding me of Civfanatics. Not sure how I forgot that site.
Oh yes, I didn't think of a fnished mod/TC. But sometimes just following the development is pretty nice.
I just realized how powerful a strategy a blockade can be. I didn't know, because tha AI never did it to me. But in the G&K Bored Game my income suddenly plummeted and I was running at a wartime deficit (not that I can't sustain it)... Turns out t was the doing of two small ships. Well played, and I learned an important lesson.
I notice that you're moving ships up to do the same thing to me. While it's not crippling in my case, as I've only got two cities on the ocean (out of eight, I think), it's still noticeable.
For any of you who bought Civ V in the Steam sale, I'm starting up a new GMR game in the League of Extraordinary Game Players Forum. The deets: Sans Spaceships Current players signed up: Nate Brian Rubin Hanzii deadbuffalo, who says he might try to play nice this time. McKnight VegasRobb Mysterio I'm thinking to get this thing started by next weekend. Two more players would be ideal, one more would be necessary for a decent game. I'm leaning towards Oval for the map, normal settings elsewhere, unless yous guys wanna try something more bizarre. Owning the Gods and Kings expansion is a must, and having the DLC nations, while not necessary, would give us a lot of additional options. EDIT: Game roster is full.
Actually I moved them up to have some firepower from the seas... the blockade is just added bonus. but in times of peace, they don't block anything even though they're close, right? I have one Trireme, that I simply just couldn't get home because your borders blocked me and you refused open borders early in the game (before you attacked me), so that's more by accident than design.
I'd be up for playing Nate, I just picked up Gods and Kings on the sale and have been looking for an excuse to get back into things. How does it work?
Go to the Giant Multiplayer Robot website and download the client. Instructions are included on the website. I'll send an invite to you. It's run through your steam account, so easy peasy.
I'll take a shot at playing if there's still room. First timer, so if it's anything like Dominions I imagine I'll get rolled up pretty quick :)
Nate, considering the issue that's now cropping up in a few of the GMR games (i.e., crashing while loading a turn or the game hanging after ending a turn) making them unplayable, please replace me with VegasRobb. I don't feel comfortable donating an additional $5 to GMR while this game-ending bug skitters about.
I don't know, I've noticed a pretty big slow down in my single player games now whenever the auto save occurs. I think it's more likely a Civ 5 issue than a GMR issue, but I haven't tried playing a Civ 5 single player game since the Fall patch or so.
FWIW, I haven't noticed anything like that with regards to my single player auto-saves. They seem to be working fine. Which is good, since I have it set to autosave every turn.
Oh, sure--everyone wants a piece of me. ;-) I'm currently playing in 5 GMR games, three of which are unplayable, due to the bug. So I'd need to donate an additional $5 to GMR for 5 additional slots to play in Nate's game. Since Nate's game will eventually become unplayable until the bug's fixed (if ever), it doesn't strike me as a wise investment. Besides, Nate's game is already full. :-)
Apparently I need to send you a nice, crisp, five dollar bill. And we could probably fit a 7th player if you wanted.
Thanks for the offer, but you need that 5 bucks for more games, amiright?! The GMR teams deserves another $5 from me, since I've received at least $10 worth of enjoyment from the fruits of their labor. So I guess I'm back in, but I'll be targeting VegasRobb, 'cause I find his fondness towards me creepy.
So how do people gain influence with city states? My latest game is on King (first time) with the Greeks, and their unique ability let's them influence city-states more readily. But it's like 500-1000g just to get them to be allies, which seems like a lot.
Yeah. And once you've made some very good friends by repeated questing (some quest are literally "be better than the other nations in X demographic", which you're trying to do anyway) you can ask them for tributes, that you then use to bribe others. So when City-state X want you to connect porcelain to your trade network, you ask City-state Y for a tribute which you bribe City-state Z, who happens to have porcelain, with.
Definitely, it really is all about the CS quests. I find that I often gain influence with a certain CS without even trying, because I build a Wonder they wanted, spawn a specific GP, accumulate more science / culture / faith in 40 turns than anyone else, or connected a luxury resource like Gems. Unless you are straight up rolling in cash, you probably just want to purchase favor in limited amounts, to either bump up your 'cushion' of influence with current allies (insurance against election hijinks from enemy spies in the CS, for example), or to push a CS from friendship to ally status. Sometimes I do buy off a CS outright (if I'm rich) solely to temporarily deprive an enemy of their luxuries and strategic resources, without the intention of keeping them on as a long-term ally. Other random tips: - Promising protection will raise the 'floor' of influence by 10. - Patronage tree is your friend, especially as Alexander. - Hit your Diplomacy window often to check which CSes have quests within your reach. - Choose your CS allies wisely, according to their location, CS type (aka the benefits you derive - Maritime = food, etc), and attitude. - Influence with Hostile city-states will degrade faster than Neutral or Friendly. - Mouse over the quest icons in the CS screen to get details on their quests. - Declaring war on two CSes will cause all CSes in the world to dislike you... or declare war? I think this has changed. - Demand tribute sparingly, as it tends to hurt your standing with other city-states (though one rival CS might give you a quest to do so). - Deploy a spy to a CS to rig elections (increasing your influence and decreasing everyone else's) and, if they're allied elsewhere, stage a coup to displace the rival civ as the CS ally.
A CS will eventually complain about nearby barbarian encampments and ask you to destroy them. For maximum influence, wait until the CS makes a formal request before destroying the encampment. As a bonus, you can "farm" barbarians near the CS border for additional influence. In theory you can also liberate captured workers to gain additional influence, but most of the time I prefer to keep the worker.
I played that game out to turn 150 and got destroyed; I'm not used to King. I gather going with a totally minimal military is not viable, huh?
Yeah, that invites disaster. Several of the AIs will definitely attack you if you build little military, and once they start to get production bonuses... Having a bit more than one unit per city is generally enough to be safe, provided you're connected by roads, have some cash on hand or resources to sell to buy units quickly, and act as soon as you see them prepare. Cities provide enough firepower that you can get away with less than an invader. Generally you can run military light early on, right up until your neighbors run out of space to settle.
As for City States: - Make sure you protect them beforehand long enough for the slow +10 influence to kick in. - Milk quests when you can, as others have said up thread. Barbarian defense quests are the easiest to milk, and even farm. - Returning their enslaved workers helps! Generally it's tempting to be a slaver early on though. - You can declare war to enslave a worker once and only piss of that State. Twice and you'll piss off some of the others too! - Get the religion that raises their minimum friendless and stack it with patronage and the Greeks if you really want to pursue it. - Focus on a strong economy so you can afford to spend gold to make the last jump from friend to ally. If you really want to pursue city states you'll be spending a bundle of cash. The bonuses can be well worth it though! Especially the rare resource City States which net a ton of happiness.

Minooka fails to keep pace at Oswego Classic
OSWEGO — With about three minutes left to go in the first half of Monday night's girls basketball game between Batavia and Minooka at the Oswego Holiday Classic, the Bulldogs held a slim 22-20 lead.
Nearly 10 minutes of game time later, Batavia had just completed a 21-0 run to take a 43-20 lead. The Bulldogs would hold on the rest of the way for the 70-38 victory.
Both teams came out strong at the outset, with the Bulldogs and Indians exchanging baskets. After Batavia opened it up to a 13-6 lead, Minooka battled back and only trailed by two at the end of the quarter.
