Yesterday, i gave fast clicks on desktop, minimizing windows etc.
Then it freeze, and when i restarted it, it wouldn't give me any video signal. I hear the windows logon music, but there's no image.
The only way i can run it, is in Safe-mode. There, if i uninstall the Graphic adapter. The computer starts starts normally, using the Standard VGA Graphics Adapter. If i install the video driver, it just wouldn't give me any video signal. I have asked on Nvidia support, and they said that the card may be defect.
Also.. i notice that the power and reset buttons work kinda slow.. o.O
Edit: Also, when i first tok the graphics card out, it was doing something alike this. But there was no video signal at all!
I took it out and put it back.. then, the 3rd time i did that, it worked. Now, i took it out, and cant make it work. I am using the onboard video card. Didnt even know there is one, or i just forgot.

The variety of prospects that should be available for the Eagles at No. 4 has thrown a curveball into the process of predicting their pick.
For the purposes of my defensive draft previews, I am assuming new defensive coordinator Billy Davis is going to run a system similar to the one he ran in Arizona -- the 4-3 "Under."
13. Star Lotulelei, DL, Utah (6-2, 311)
Utah defensive tackle Star Lotulelei is the latest projected first-round pick the Eagles have scheduled for a visit, according to a league source.

Sega Sports' World Series Baseball, or simply World Series Baseball, is a sports game developed by BlueSky Software and published by Sega for the Mega Drive/Genesis. It is the first game in the series and was originally released in 1994. A version for the Sega 32X, World Series Baseball starring Deion Sanders, would follow in 1995.
The first title in the World Series Baseball series, the game was a major advancement in Genesis baseball games in that not only did it include licensed players and teams, but also contained relatively accurate gameplay for the time.
Several more games were released in the series following the original, up to World Series Baseball 2K2 on the Xbox. After that, Sega contracted with 2K Games to take over their sports game contracts and the series has continued as the Major League Baseball 2K franchise, which thanks to 2K's contract with Major League Baseball is one of only two MLB video game series currently on the market (the other is Sony Computer Entertainment's MLB: The Show series that only appears on the PlayStation systems).

DNS Will Not Resolve
I've recently set up a new website www.futurefive.org. I was viewing it on my iMac (OSX 10.7.5) and it was showing one of those placeholder pages (generic woman smiling, URL in a green bar at the top, with nonsense search items down the left). After the DNS resolved, the URL takes you to the website on every computer and iPhone EXCEPT this iMac. Still takes you to that placeholder page (see attachment). I've tried running the Terminal command sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder, but it doesn't change anything. Anyone have any ideas?

Contact your web host then, its not an issue with your local set up.
When your iPhone accesses the site, is it on wifi? If so then its may not be DNS. Did you try clearing your web cache from your browser?

If other advice given fails...
On your mac check two things: 1) Look in /etc/hosts and make sure that domain is not listed already with a different IP - remove it if found as local DNS overrides remote (i.e. in terminal -> sudo vi /etc/hosts) 2) Flush your Mac's DNS cache in terminal: sudo dscacheutil -flushcache

All excellent advice. Thank you! Mysteriously, after no further action on my part, the DNS has resolved and the site is now showing up properly. One of those things, I guess. My best to all.

The 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon is an intensely fruity, big and full-bodied approachable wine, exhibiting a deep, dark, ruby color. Rich and opulent aromas of cassis and cherry are followed by notes of toasted oak, vanilla and strawberries. Dark fruit aromas translate into ripe black cherry fruit and vanilla notes in the mouth. The wine is full-bodied and velvety, but has substantial structure and tannins, giving the wine balance and aging potential.
Justin and Deborah Baldwin acquired their land in 1981 and planted 72 acres in vineyards that same year. Initially they were wine growers, selling to other wineries. Then, in 1987, they harvested their first grapes bottled under the Justin label. Justin Winery concentrates on two Bordeaux styled red wines: Isoscleles, which is a 100% estate blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc and Justification, a blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Varietals are planted to specific soil types on their hillside vineyards 8 miles from the Pacific Ocean, on the Central Coast.
The largest of California's wine growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of California's wine.

The effect of a pulsed dc on the sintering of copper spheres to copper plates was investigated. It was shown that the current had a marked effect on neck growth between the spheres and the plates. The enhancement of sintering under the effect of the current was attributed to electromigration. Microstructural observations on fracture surfaces of necks formed under high currents showed considerable void formation. It was also observed that the current resulted in increased evaporation and the formation of bunched evaporation steps. Formation of these steps and their location relative to the neck were consistent with current density distributions. The results of this investigation provide direct evidence for the role of the current in the sintering in the pulse electric current sintering method.

Charlie Sheen got one of those text messages from his porn star friend Kacey Jordan ... saying she's pregnant -- luckily for Charlie the message also said she doesn't think it's his.
TMZ obtained the text message Kacey sent Charlie yesterday afternoon (see above). After dropping the bomb -- which must've floored Charlie -- Kacey continued, "I don't believe it's yours, but I'm going to Oregon to take care of the situation."
As for why Kacey thinks Charlie is in the clear ... he used protection, but Kacey says both of them were so out of it she's not sure if it did the trick.
According to our sources, Kacey plans to terminate the pregnancy in the next few days.
We're told Kacey never heard back from Charlie. He probably hasn't picked up his jaw off the ground yet.
Are you kidding me, that kid is worth at least 40,000 a month for the next 18 years .
Just ask Oksana
LOL...Publicity stunt. stfu and hide in a cave. I doubt you are pregnant. Just whoring around to get google views. sorry, but ain't gonna google your ass. f!ck off!
Thank god someone has the smarts to take care of it. If that had only happened before then maybe someone wouldnt be up on grand theft after getting out of rehab.
A bare-backing porn star gets pregnant and she has to bring it up in public? This attention seeking slute should disappear out of the media and count her money again from the check Charlie gave her to keep her mouth shut in the first place.
This young woman has serious credibility issues but if this is true, I'd bet it isn't Charlie's.
She is trying desperately to stay in the media where she can make bigger money for interviews.
At this point she's fading FAST....
She said on Howard Stern that she had recently went over seas and screwed some rich Prince of some country and didn't use protection and that she hoped she hadn't gotten pregnant because she was having pains.
Guess the rich Prince guy own'd her.
most people should shy away from the weight of that attachment thus entertainment and cover songs from past events ----
She is totally milking her 15 minutes of fame. She needs to return to porn where she is needed & wanted. IF she is trying to "sell" this story of being knocked up I would like to see proof.
Didn't the crazy ho drive away (pretty messed up) after getting a check from Charlie?
Hott ****ty Mess!!
Wow! Why would you advertise and yell out one week your higher than a kite with Charlie, and the next your aborting a baby. Makes me sick! Beyond Bozos!
She definitely has credability issues. How would TMZ get the text anyways? Charlie wouldn't want more bad publicity, so it had to be her that gave the content of the text to TMZ. But regardless whether it is true or not, I hate how she & every other women who gets an abortion says "I'm going to take care of [it]." WTF? They can't even say the words--that they are going to kill their child.

Civil partnerships in religious premises "by the end of the year"
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Nice…. :-)
I'm no fan of religious CPs – second-class status, plus the foolishness of the idea is summed up by the oxymoronic name – but this is excellent news. Hear me out…
Implementing religious CPs will highlight the absurdity of the UK government's attempt to exclude religious weddings from marriage equality. The government's current plan is to allow gays to marry in secular buildings – but if we do it in a gay-friendly church, we can only get a CP and it has to be overseen by a registrar. Absolutely ridiculous!
Such a scenario will invite legal challenge since it discriminates against faith (same-sex couples with faith will only get a CP, unlike their secular brethren who get marriage) and introduces new discrimination against LGBs (same-sex couples with faith will have to pay the extra charge for a registrar as well as a religious celebrant, unlike their straight co-religionists).
This silly idea will make good politics.
Ask the question
on the 5th Dec will Churchs be allowed to legally sign a same sex couple ?
or is this the same rule about a ceremony with opt in and out choices for the church that has been in place since 2010
The message is unclear and there is no news
March next year the new bill will look to open Civil Marriage and Civil Partnerships to all – now thats worth talking about
You're either in Scotland now where CPs for all are being consulted upon or you didn't read LF's previous statement. The consultation is only on civil marriages for gays, no CP equality and no true equality for gays since religious marriages are not being discussed. This is a step forward and March is a tiny step forward but the bill for gay marriage isn't being introdcued in March, it's only the consultation!!!!! As far as I am aware the promise for SS marriage is 2015 which is a long way away.
British law always changes incrementally – its the nature of the beast. And remember that a small minority of US states have gay marriage and it doesn't have federal status – we are further on than the US and in going down the CP route followed by reform to full marriage, have (rather later than them!) followed the Scandinavian pattern
So I don't know much about all of this but what I do know is that as CPs exist now can't we have marriage for all AND CPs for all? I have straight non-religious non-marriage friends who'd love a CP. I don't want a marriage and I'm gay but I totally get why many do.
gino, the marriage equality consultation excludes access to CPs by straights unfortunately. It's only about allowing same-sex couples access ot civil marriage, nothing more.
But the consultation is an opportunity to demonstrate to the government that equal religious marriage is an option some people would want (not me personally) but if the Quakers etc wish to petition government on that issue – they are entitled to do so
The shape of the consultation is being drafted now, LF has already stated that relgious org are shaping it and that those meetings with her office are confidential. I'm not sure what the consultation is all about in March 2012 becuase it seems that confidential meetings are already taking place. There is no opportunity for the public to shape it. The consultation on religious CPs was merely technical, it didn't allow you to change the govt's mind and I suspect the marriage equality consultation will be the same. The opportunity is now, if you want relgiious marriages then you need to tell them now.I agree what is the point of the consultation when the decision are being made in confidence with her by LGBT groups and religuious leaders.
And the useless consultation on marriage equality will specifically not consider religious unions… go figure …
Beberts, I think we should concentrate on getting civil marriage equality passed first and foremost. We can address religious participation after the fact as happened with CPs. We do things slowly in the UK, not always right every time, but I'm sure that in time, religious denominations will be allowed to participate in officiating at same-sex marriages. None of the ten countries so far have addressed it although Sweden I believe is mulling it, after legalising same-sex marriage earlier in January 2011.
They're finally doing something they actually promised to do and on the timetable they previously stated. A good sign?, now let's hope there is no further delay in the SS marriage consultation and that we get marriage a little bit quicker than they managed to bring in "religious" CPs (when was the law changed, 2 yrs ago?).
I just wonder who on earth is going to register their secular CP in a church when we've been promised gay marriage before 2015. After all the CP is still non religious and there is religious blessing at some time. We can do this at the moment and I think just being able to physically register your CP in the church is no substitue to a proper marriage and for the Quakers and relgious gays this isn't what they want, they want religious marriages. And for all gay people, equality is wanted and that means having all the legal rights as straights and that has to be religious marriages as well, whether it comes with civil marriages or a little bit later the govt shouldn't be fooled that civil marriages is the end of the story…
It should be possible to use religious premises for civil partnerships. Unfortunately many vicars may not to conduct such ceremonies. People ordained into the Universal Life Church can apparantly conduct same sex, inter-faith and inter cultural wedding and civil partnership ceremonies on church property belonging to other demoninations.
As nice as this is, and a tip-toe forward. I can't help but feel that if they gave us Marrages instead of civil partnerships, this would not even be an issue. Let alone, considered a "win"!
Still, a motion forward IS a motion forward. Let's hope the next step is 100% marrage x
Another small but welcome step forward ;-)
thats good, but it is stiil apartheit, we are equal not seprate but equal, next they need to get working of theFLR(M) documents and requirements, because that form does not comply with the other changes in the laws
OK it's only one step, but it's a step in the right direction.
An excellent and most welcome step forward. Through this I hope we can dismiss the churches negative input and proceed to Equal civil marriage.
@Jock S Trap
Or even welcome the positive support from some churches?

Forget Aristotle: Alexander the Great and the military origins of modern political organisation
Posted on October 7, 2013 | No CommentsMy argument is that it was the political organisation of the Macedonian military, developed by Philip of Macedon, that formed the basis of Alexander the Great's notion of empire. -

Who was Alexander the Great?
Posted on September 11, 2012 | No CommentsWho was Alexander the Great? He was a king, a conqueror and a tyrant. He believed he was a god, and the way he took over much of the known world would probably have convinced many of his followers that he was. Then, at the age of 32 he was dead, leaving an empire and countless legends about his life and legacy.

great arbor shirt
Great shirt -not as stretchy as i thought it would be so it fits me a bit snug over the hips. It is however super long which i like so i don't have to constantly pull it down when moving around. The color is great- nice plum shade of purple and soft soft fabric. Great knock around shirt, comfy!!!

Weird fit
This shirt looks so cute on the web site, but the material was too thick for the style and did not stretch at all. I almost always wear a small and this size small was hard to get on because of the "no-stretch" factor. I was looking for a casual lightweight henley and had to return this one.

The average college student has lots of free time on his or her hands but add in part-time jobs, internships, group work and even commuting and those hours disappear fast. Time spent studying has dipped from 24 hours to 15 hours per week since the 1960s but according to the Washington Post and the National Survey of Student Engagement, students still make ample time and they've listed five schools where they're known to hit the books...hard.
Now how do YOUR study habits compare?

Thousands of college students across the country have been making their way home from school to spend the summer relaxing and taking a break from studying. But how do you keep from forgetting everything you've learned throughout the academic year? Here are a few simple tips:
How do you choose to keep those brain juices flowing over the summer? Let us know what works for you!

It's the end of the academic year which means summer vacation, summer school and, for many students, moving home until the fall. Moving out is never a simple process but for the items and supplies that you do not want to keep, selling them or giving them away for free are some options. This is also the best time for students to purchase furniture and other household items especially if they are living off campus – they might be second hand but it will save you quite a bit of money!
College students who want to sell items have a variety of outlets to consider. Create a free Craigslist posting – all you need to do is take a picture of the item you're selling, give a brief description and list a price and some contact information so interested buyers can reach you. Advertising on campus through flyers in the student union and dorms is also an option; student buyers might be more willing to meet with you if they know you are another student. Lastly, if you are moving or graduating and taking items with you isn't an option or storing them is too inconvenient, you can donate the items or give them away for free – believe me, students trying to furnish their abodes will thank you.
The dorms at SJSU did something innovative this year to help students get rid of things they didn't need in a convenient manner and for students to find something they might need: We used a spare lounge in the dorms to pile up items including mini-fridges, TVs, game consoles, bookshelves, clothing, books and so much more. Many students found it useful and were able to take whatever they wanted for free; everything that was left at the end was donated. Success all around!

It was with great sadness that I read about the suicide of Wendy Chang, a college student at Harvard University...even more so when I learned that four other Boston students have already committed suicide this year.
Even though I never met any of the students personally, I feel that every suicide is a tragedy, especially when I think about how this topic, as well as depression, are still viewed as taboo . While I can understand why some people prefer to avoid talking about death, depression and suicide, I also think that we need to realize that we don't understand what a depressed person is going through unless we do talk about such issues. People contemplating suicide will almost always reach out to someone first and it is our duty to help them.
So if another student comes to you expressing a desire to commit suicide, don't immediately judge him or her. Chances are, he or she is well aware of the stigmatism attached to suicide and is reluctant to admit being suicidal in the first place. Instead, listen, thank the individual for being courageous enough to confide in you and help him or her find help for people contemplating suicide. Virtually every college has resources specifically designed to help students cope with the many stressors of college and life in general. And should you or someone you know confide in the individuals in charge of these services, you can do so knowing that they will keep your circumstances private.
My condolences go out to Wendy's family, as well as to all the families who have ever lost a relative to suicide. Their loved ones will not be forgotten.

It seems that social norms of college life revolve around alcohol. However responsible you think you are, know that this lifestyle comes with great danger not only to you but to those around you. There is no such thing as drinking responsibly so it is important to be able to recognize the signs of alcohol abuse before it's too late.
As common as drinking may be on college campuses, there is a lot of risk associated with it. Drunk driving, alcohol poisoning, abuse, harassment and dependency are all related to alcohol. Driving should be completely avoided even if you've only had a few drinks and feel fine. It's better to be safe than sorry, as you risk the lives of others if you drive intoxicated or knowingly let someone who has imbibed get behind the wheel.
Alcohol poisoning occurs more often than people realize and can be fatal. Symptoms can include vomiting, passing out, low breathing and blue skin pigmentation from lack of oxygen. If any of these signs are present, monitor them closely and be prepared to take the person to the hospital or call an ambulance: The symptoms of alcohol poisoning may not seem urgent at first but can quickly worsen.
Abuse and harassment are common with drinking as well, thus recognizing when someone has had enough alcohol is important. Slurred speech and inability to concentrate are results of high alcohol consumption; when someone can't control the situation around them, there could be dangerous consequences.
Alcohol dependency is also a big issue. The first step to helping a friend overcome this problem is by helping them to realize the problem and take steps to remedy it. If you can't do it alone, Alcoholics Anonymous program information is generally available in school health offices.
It's never easy admitting you or someone you know has a problem but doing so can possibly save a life...in college and beyond.

One of the best ways for a student to learn something is to teach it. This is an ideology that many professors use by assigning students projects in which they must demonstrate something to their classmates. When these projects expand to outside the classroom and become open for any students to attend, it becomes a seminar and an opportunity for other students to learn something.
Student-run seminars are growing in popularity because they allow students an access to knowledge and allow other students to hone their teaching and presenting abilities. At SJSU, the College of Social Sciences hosts "COMM Week" – five days devoted to projects presented by students in seminars that are open for all students to attend. Professors in the communications department give students guidelines and the students have the entire semester to conduct research for their presentations. An example of one project was to design and market an app for a smartphone. Students conducted research on what apps were profitable and how to sell their app and then proceeded to create interfaces, pamphlets and websites to promote their ideas. (A few students even turned their innovative ideas into career opportunities, as these projects were presented at a trade show with investors from different companies.) Another project included conducting a training workshop for students to assist them learning something such as presenting, networking and other skills valued by employers. Companies pay trainers to teach employees different procedures and policies within a company so really, the students who were successful with their seminars could continue to train as a form of work.
Whenever students ask when or how they will use something they learned in the classroom in the real world, they should know that what they learn in school gives them skills to use in life after college. Any of these or other school projects can even be used to jumpstart a career!

Yoga has many benefits including stress relief, strengthening of the immune system, mind and body balance, emotional strengthening, flexibility and so much more. College students especially should give yoga a chance because not only are most of us bogged down with the stress of school but demanding work schedules as well. Here are some very imperative benefits to taking yoga in college.
Stress relief: Homework and readings killing you? Drama at the sorority house? College is just bursting with different stressors and yoga allows you to take a breath and slow down to revitalize your body.
Body strengthening: Yoga positions allow for the strengthening of your body, which in turn keep it healthy, toned and flexible.
Increased concentration: This could be helpful during exams and homework when your focus has to be at an all-time high. Yoga increases concentration so that the college student has an expanded attention span and can better retain information.
All-around wellness: Personally, yoga makes me want to be healthy inside and out. School seemed like too much to handle before but as I started taking yoga classes, I slowly learned to control my stress.
Meet new people: Though you're not really supposed to talk in class, yoga is a great way to make friends with similar interests. Men should not feel like yoga is strictly a female activity, as most yoga classes are mixed gender.
Yoga provides more benefits than you may think and everyone should give it a shot! Namaste.

Recently, 10 schools were banned from participating in the 2012-2013 NCAA men's basketball tournament for failure to meet academic standards: Arkansas - Pine Bluff, Cal State - Bakersfield, California - Riverside, Connecticut, Jacksonville State, Mississippi Valley State, UNC Wilmington, Texas A & M - Corpus Christi, Toledo and Towson.
The NCAA rates teams according to their Academic Progress Rate, in which a team is viewed as a whole and its performance in the classroom is evaluated. If a team's APR score falls to 925 or below and at least one player fails his classes and drops out of school, that school can lose scholarships. If the APR sinks down to 900, the penalties grow steeper and they increase each year that the team falls below par. Being declared ineligible for NCAA postseason play is a result of scoring 900 or below for three years. If the APR remains low for a fourth year, the entire athletic department is penalized. The school loses its Division 1 status and is reduced to "restricted membership status" in the NCAA.
Is this fair or too extreme? I'm not saying this just because my school – Jacksonville State – is on the naughty list, but I'm not sure that I completely agree with the NCAA's punishment. If a student-athlete fails to perform academically, he should lose his scholarship, be suspended from the team, etc. But the players who make good grades, the coaches, and the fans should not be punished for the underperformance of the few. College students are adults – it's up to each individual to study and work hard.
But what do YOU think? Is the NCAA spot-on with its academic standards and penalties, or does something need to change?

Tennessee-based arts, educational and environmental programs are getting a big boost from Bonnaroo.
The Manchester-based four-day music and arts festival announced Wednesday that it made $82,000 in donations to nine organizations across Tennessee via its charitable arm, the Bonnaroo Works Fund, which is sustained by a portion of festival ticket sales. Several Middle Tennessee organizations received donations between $2,500 and $15,000 including the Manchester Arts Center, Notes for Notes, Junior Achievement of Middle Tennessee and Land Trust for Tennessee.
âIt takes the support of the entire community for Bonnaroo to achieve the success that it does,â said Bonnaroo co-founder Ashley Capps. âThe more successful that weâve been at integrating the success of the festival into the success of the community as a whole, the better it is for all parties involved.â
Organizations applied for funding last fall through a grant process on the Bonnaroo website. The East Tennessee Foundation administered the fun and vetted the applicants, and the nine recipients were selected by an independent panel of judges.
In addition to Bonnaroo Works Fundâs donations, officials announced that local organizations â including the Coffee County Chamber of Commerce and numerous sports, arts and education groups â earned more than $200,000 through volunteering at Bonnarooâs concession booths. The June festival donates a portion of concession sales to its participating organizations. Jeff Cuellar, Bonnarooâs director of community relations, said many of those organizations earn almost all of their annual funding by volunteering at Bonnaroo.
âIt becomes a big thing, and I think it affords opportunities to these organizations, to these members of our community, that they may not be able to get elsewhere,â he said.
Junior Achievement of Middle Tennessee President Trent Klingensmith said Bonnarooâs $15,000 grant will be used as branding support for schools that take part in its JA BizTown program, which teaches 4th through 6th graders about economics and government.
âTo get (a donation) from an arts/music festival, thatâs really unique,â Klingensmith said. âI love the fact that theyâre in our community, entertaining folks, and at the same time, finding a way to give back.â

Lew Leslie
Lew Leslie | |
Born | Lewis Lessinsky April 15, 1888 |
Died | March 10, 1963 New York, USA |
Residence | New York City, New York |
Nationality | American |
Occupation | Vaudeville entertainer, Producer |
Years active | 1910-1950's |
Lew Leslie (April 15, 1888 or 1890 – March 10, 1963)[1] was a Broadway writer and producer.[2][3][4] Leslie got his start in show business in vaudeville in his early twenties.[5]
Although white, Lew Leslie was the first major impresario to present African American artists on the Broadway stage. He became famous for his stage shows at the Cotton Club and later for his Blackbirds revues, which he mounted in 1926,[6] 1928, 1930, 1933 & 1939. Blackbirds of 1928 starring Adelaide Hall,[7][8][9] Bill Bojangles Robinson, Tim Moore and Aida Ward. was his most successful revue and ran for over 1 year on Broadway where it became the hit of the season. The sell-out show transferred to the Moulin Rouge in Paris, France, where it ran for three months before returning to the U.S.A. where it commenced an American road tour.[10] Adelaide Hall starred in the show for just over two years.[11] The Blackbirds revues helped advance the career of several famous artists, including Florence Mills, Adelaide Hall, Tim Moore, Bill 'Bojangles' Robinson, Aida Ward and Lottie Gee. Leslie began his career doing a patter act in vaudeville. He had two well-known wives, torch singer Belle Baker and Ziegfeld Follies showgirl Irene Wales.
Leslie started his showbusiness career in vaudeville, first as an impressionist then in a double act with Belle Baker to whom he was married for a while. Becoming an agent, he listed among his clients Ben Bernie, Frank Fay and Bea Palmer. He put on a revue starring Baker and Palmer at the Café de Paris, which later became the Plantation Club where Leslie staged Plantation Revue, the second edition of which, in 1922, starred Florence Mills and her husband, dancer Ulysses 'Slow Kid' Thompson. Leslie also staged Dixie To Broadway (1924), again starring Mills and Thompson, and then came his Blackbirds revues, which began in 1926 with a show also starring Mills. At first, these revues were only moderately successful but they paved the way for Blackbirds of 1928.
In January, 1928, Blackbirds opened at Les Ambassadeurs Club in New York under the heading Lew Leslie's Blackbird Revue, starring Adelaide Hall. On 9 May 1928, the show transferred to the Liberty Theatre, Broadway and was re-titled Blackbirds of 1928. Along with Adelaide Hall, the show also starred Aida Ward and Bill Bojangles Robinson. The show ran until August the following year, playing a total of 518 performances. The songs were composed by Jimmy McHugh and Dorothy Fields, both of whom worked on revues at the Cotton Club. For Blackbirds of 1928 they wrote 'Baby!', 'Dixie' and 'Here Comes My Blackbird', and while these had little life outside the show the same cannot be said for others that became popular: 'Diga Diga Doo', 'Doin' The New Low-Down', 'I Must Have That Man' and what became a perennial favourite, I Can't Give You Anything but Love, Baby.
Leslie's Broadway shows that followed included several editions of Blackbirds. Ethel Waters appeared in the 1930 edition, the 1934 show had Robinson, and the 1936 show, which also ran in London, featured an appearance by the Nicholas Brothers. The last of the series, Blackbirds Of 1939, included in its cast Lena Horne. Interspersed amidst these revues were other Leslie ventures, including The International Revue (1930) and Rhapsody In Black (1931). Although not among the leading Broadway moguls of the 20s, Leslie helped make an important contribution to the integrating of the Broadway musical.
Confusion surrounds Leslie's place of birth. On his World War I draft registration card of June 1917, Leslie stated that he was an alien and was born in Russia on April 15, 1888. His brother Saul Leslie's draft card gives Saul's birth date as May 26, 1886; Saul was also listed as an employee of his theatrical producing brother, Lew. He also appears on the 1910 census as Louis Lesinsky, with his parents Max and Mary Lesinsky and brother Saul (also known as Sol); they lived in Manhattan and Max, aged 50, was a butcher. In the 1920 census they appear again, but this time as Max Leslie, 60, Mary Leslie, 54, Sol Leslie, 32, and Louie Leslie, 30; all were listed as born in Russia, except for Lew who is now listed as born in England. But the year of emigration to America is the same, 1890.[12] Leslie also stated he was born to Jewish parents in Orangeburg, New York.[13]

Affordable SEO
It's great having a fantastic looking website but pointless if no one ever sees it! Bluehoop will help maximise your site's potential by marketing it to a world-wide audience.
Great results – first page of Google
Bluehoop know all the tricks of the trade to take your website to the top of the Google rankings. With SEO it's the little things that count and by making a few simple changes to your site to get it noticed, we can boost it's rankings and increase customer traffic.
All sizes of business
Bluehoop's SEO clients are varied and range from new start ups to multi-million pound turnover companies.
Bluehoop's SEO Yorkshire Services
If you run your own business, you will be well aware of how essential it is to have a good looking website to effectively advertise your services or products. Unfortunately many people fail to realise the importance of search engine optimisation, as without this their website will be 'invisible'. Developed over several years, Bluehoop's SEO Yorkshire services can bring your company the online marketing success that every modern business needs. Search engine optimisation helps your website improve it's ranking on Google and other search engines by using the keywords or phrases that your customers or clients use when searching on the internet. It is widely recognised that when searching on the internet for products or services, most people will only visit the websites that appear on the first couple of pages of the search engine results. Websites which are listed on subsequent pages will receive far fewer visits so you can see how vital an effective search engine optimisation programme can be.
To be successful, it is essential that a website must be 'search engine friendly'. Bluehoop SEO Yorkshire can increase the number of visits to your website by thoroughly checking the information that is required for search engine results and make any necessary changes to your site to help boost it's ranking on the search engines. This improvement in ranking can be achieved by looking at other high-performing websites which may be in a similar area of business to your own and by comparing your site with these. Remember that the main purpose of your site is to attract those all important customers and clients so your site must be 'visible' to them. Finding the right words – known as keywords – that your customers are using when searching the internet can be tricky but Bluehoop's experienced search engine optimisation team have the experience to do this research for you.
Contact Bluehoop
Links to your site – an important part of the seo process
Having links back to your site from other websites which the search engines consider important is a very important part of the search engine optimisation process. Google and other search engines look at the quality and relevancy of web pages but high quality links are vital if they are to be useful. Writing articles for publication on the web, issuing press releases and blogs are all great ways to collect links back to your site. However, no two companies are the same and Bluehoop SEO Yorkshire say that some companies will require more of this work than others.
Researching keywords
Unfortunately many companies don't realise that it's pointless trying the guess the keywords their customers or clients are using when searching the web. For instance, did you know that only 10-20% of people use identical key words when searching the internet? Looking at figures like this you can see how essential keyword research will be to improve the visibility of your site. Keyword research is initially carried out by Bluehoop SEO Yorkshire through thorough research of your target markets, studying the competition for different keywords and pinpointing those which are the most popular with your customers. The idea behind all this research is to locate the keywords which bring results!
Research into your Competitors
Having a good looking website is great but is pointless if it isn't attracting clients or customers to your business! Studying your competitors websites and other high-performing websites similar to you own is vital, according to Bluehoop SEO Yorkshire. Researching your competitors will supply you with useful information on how you can improve your site's ranking. Research into what the search engines are looking for and pinpointing the keywords and phrases that they consider important is also something Bluehoop's seo team can carry out for you.
Articles – an Effective Way to Improve Your Site's Ranking
Writing articles for posting on your website or other high ranking websites is another very effective way Bluehoop SEO Yorkshire can improve your website's ranking. Google consider 'authority websites' or 'article directories' to be high quality sites and having an article published on one of these sites is a brilliant way to include links back to your site and give it's ranking a great boost. It's very important to remember that the articles must be high quality and Bluehoop's SEO Yorkshire service have several years of experience in this area. They usually begin the process by writing an original article of around five hundred words and from this original they will then produce a further five or so articles for publication. As the articles will be read by the search engines before they are published, it's essential that each article reads differently and that the keywords are mentioned throughout.
On-line Marketing Using Press Releases
Press releases are another useful tool for marketing your website and online services. Press releases can be used in exactly the same way as articles but, as Bluehoop SEO Yorkshire point out, the have the added bonus of being able to contain more links back to your site than articles do. If well written, a press release can also have the ability to send the amount of traffic to your site sky high! However, press releases are notoriously difficult to get right and are not easy to produce unless you have previous experience and are very skilled at writing. Editors are renowned for being very critical and even the simplest mistake can mean that your press release is put straight into the bin!
