Description The majority of combustible liquid fuel used in the world today is derived from crude oil. However, there are several limitations to using crude oil as a fuel source. For example, crude oil is in limited supply; it includes aromatic compounds believed to cause cancer; and contains sulfur and nitrogen-containing compounds that can adversely affect the environment, for example by producing acid rain. Alternative sources for developing combustible liquid fuel are desirable. An abundant source is natural gas. Natural gas is often plentiful in regions that are uneconomical to develop because of a lack of local markets for the gas or the high cost of transporting the gas to remote markets. In such areas, the natural gas, which comprises mostly methane, is flared off rather than used, thus wasting the natural gas and adding undesirable combustion products to the atmosphere. An alternative is to convert the natural gas to a liquid fuel or other chemical product for local usage and more cost-effective transportation to remote markets. The conversion of natural gas to combustible liquid fuel typically involves converting the natural gas, which is mostly methane, to synthesis gas, or syngas, which is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. An advantage of using fuels prepared from syngas is that they typically do not contain nitrogen and sulfur and generally do not contain aromatic compounds. Accordingly, they have less health and environmental impact than conventional petroleum liquids based fuels. Refining processes create materials which can foul process equipment, such as reactors and heaters. For example, Fischer-Tropsch chemistry is typically used to convert the syngas to a product stream that includes combustible liquid fuel, among other products. A feature associated with Fischer-Tropsch chemistry is that it produces a number of reactive species such as olefins and alcohols that, under certain conditions such as high temperatures, tend to form materials that will foul (adhere to) equipment surfaces, damaging or diminishing the effectiveness of heat exchangers, furnaces, catalytic reactors and the like. It is believed that some of the formed materials are polymers or other large molecules. Polymerization of olefins is known to occur where crude-oil derived hydrocarbons are exposed to oxygen-containing environments such as in storage tanks, and are then heated in a typical hydroprocessing plant to near reaction temperatures. For example, naphtha derived from refinery coking operations tends to form these products. While not wishing to be bound by theory. Fischer-Tropsch products are believed to behave similarly when heated because of the presence of olefins and oxygen-containing compounds, even without exposure to further oxygen sources. Equipment fouling is known to be mitigated by stripping the hydrocarbon feed stream with hydrogen or fuel gas, primarily to remove oxygen. However, when the oxygen is in the form of alcohols rather than as oxygen gas, as is the case with Fischer-Tropsch products, the oxygen cannot be removed by feed stripping. Sacrificial guard beds have been employed upstream of main catalytic reactors to collect polymerized products before passage through and, thus, fouling of heat exchangers, furnaces and other equipment. However, the use of such guard beds increases manufacturing costs significantly. In addition, such guard beds may not always be effective in prevention of heat exchange surface fouling. It is also known to pre-heat hydrocarbon feeds to hydroprocessing reactors in shell and tube heat exchangers using the reactor effluent. Both the hydrocarbon feed (usually in the form of a pumpable liquid) and a large quantity of hydrogen-rich gas (e.g. greater than 750 Standard Cubic Feet per Barrel (SCFB)) are combined before entering the heat exchanger. In this case, the hydrogen-rich gas acts as a velocity-maintaining agent (usually on the tube-side of the exchanger) to avoid the deposition of particulate matter in the feed, thus preventing fouling of the heat exchangers and other equipment in the feed pre-heat train. It would be advantageous to provide additional means of protecting pre-heat equipment that handles, for example, Fischer-Tropsch synthesis and refinery coking products, which minimizes the formation of fouling products. The present invention provides such methods. The present invention is directed at a process for retarding fouling in a refinery process. Additionally, the invention in particular relates to an integrated process for producing liquid fuels from a hydrocarbon stream provided by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, refinery coking operations or other processes. Hydrocarbon streams that include reactive oxygenate species such as alcohols and/or hydrocarbon unsaturates such as olefins and aromatics tend to have fouling problems. The process minimizes the formation of polymers and other heavy molecular weight products from the hydrocarbon streams upon heating. In the particularly preferred process described herein. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis or refinery coking operations are performed to produce a hydrocarbon stream containing reactive species, including olefins and alcohols, for formation of useable products such as combustible liquid fuel or lubricating base stocks by a hydroconversion process. A stream of hydrogen-containing gas sufficient to retard the polymerization of the reactive species and present fouling of the pre-heat and other processing equipment is added to the hydrocarbon stream before pre-heating upstream of a hydroprocessing reactor. The treated hydrocarbon stream is then pre-heated and processed as known in the art. In one embodiment, Fischer-Tropsch products are recovered as at least a low-boiling, fraction containing oxygenate and olefin components, and a high-boiling fraction such as a wax-containing stream, wherein hydrogen-containing gas is added to the light product stream before further treatment to prevent fouling of at least a pre-heat exchanger. The hydrogen-containing gas stream can be used as a reactant with a Fischer-Tropsch hydrocarbon product stream, preferably the low-boiling fraction, to prevent fouling of processing equipment, and may be added in relatively small quantities to the hydrocarbon product stream, and thus does not significantly impact the size and cost of the processing equipment required. Sufficient hydrogen-containing gas is added to reduce the fouling tendency of the hydrocarbon product stream, typically less than about 500 SCFB, preferably less than about 100 SCFB and more preferably less than about 50 SCFB. The hydrocarbon product stream useful in the Fischer-Tropsch embodiment of the invention can contain about 0.5 wt % or more of normal alcohols that boil in the range of from about 50� C. to about 350� C. The hydrocarbon product stream can also contain about 5 wt % or more of mono-olefins that boil in the range of from about 105� C. to about 350� C. Although not limited to Fischer-Tropsch processes, preferably the hydrocarbon product stream is derived from a Fischer-Tropsch process, and most preferably is a Fischer-Tropsch low-boiling fraction boiling in the range of from about −65� C. to about 350� C. The FIGURE is an illustrative schematic flow diagram representing one preferred embodiment of the invention, but the invention is applicable to all appropriate refinery and/or chemical processing. The present invention is directed to an integrated process for minimizing the formation of polymers and other heavy molecular weight products from reactive oxygenate and unsaturate hydrocarbon species such as alcohols, olefins and aromatics often present in hydrocarbon streams used as feedstock for hydroprocessing plants. A preferred embodiment is used with the hydrocarbon product stream from Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, refinery coking operations, and fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) operations, among others. As used herein, the term �integrated process� refers to a process comprising a sequence of steps, some of which may be performed in parallel, but all of which are interrelated or somehow dependent upon either earlier or later steps in the process. The process involves adding a hydrogen-containing gas stream to a hydrocarbon stream before heating or other processing in order to minimize the formation of polymers and other heavy molecular weight products from reactive species such as alcohols, olefins and aromatics present in the hydrocarbon stream. This process prevents or minimizes fouling of processing equipment, in particular heat exchangers and furnaces, such as might be used in a hydroprocessing plant. Hydroprocessing, or hydroconversion, can include one or more of hydrofining, hydrotreating and hydrocracking. In hydroconversion, hydrogen is reacted with a hydrocarbon on the surface of a catalyst, usually at high heat and/or under pressure, to produce a higher grade hydrocarbon, in particular a combustible liquid fuel, lubrication oil base stock or other useful chemical product. There is no distinct division between the hydroconversion processes. Hydrofining is usually a mild hydroconversion process. Hydrotreating may include hydrofining and includes desulfurization and denitrification of hydrocarbon feeds. Hydrocracking generally refers to breaking down the high molecular weight components of hydrocarbon feed to form other, lower molecular weight products. Synthesis gas (syngas) typically comprises hydrogen and carbon monoxide, and may include minor amounts of carbon dioxide and/or water. It can be obtained by processes known in the art from natural gas, byproducts of hydroprocessing, or mixtures thereof. It may also be generated from coal, petroleum coke, heavy oils and other hydrocarbon feed sources. Preferably, the ratio of hydrogen to carbon monoxide in the resultant syngas is greater than 1.0 in order to minimize the amount of oxygenated products formed in the Fischer-Tropsch reaction. Syngas is converted to a hydrocarbon product stream by contact with a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst under reactive conditions in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, as known to practitioners in the art. Depending on the quality of the syngas feedstock, it may be desirable to purify the syngas prior to the Fischer-Tropsch reaction to remove carbon dioxide and any contaminants, such as sulfur and nitrogen containing compounds. Examples of conditions for performing Fischer-Tropsch reactions are well known to practitioners in the art. Suitable conditions are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,704,487; 4,507,517; 4,599,474; 4,704,493; 4,709,108; 4,734,537. 4,814,533; 4,814,534 and 4,814,538, the contents of each of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety for all purposes. A particularly preferred Fischer-Tropsch process is taught in EP0609079, also completed incorporated herein by reference for all purposes. The Fischer-Tropsch reaction may be effected in a fixed bed, in a slurry bed, or in a fluidized bed reactor. The Fischer-Tropsch reaction conditions may include utilizing a reaction temperature of between 190� C. and 340� C. with the actual reaction temperatures being largely determined by the reactor configuration. An inlet synthesis gas pressure to the Fischer-Tropsch reactor of between 1 and 50 bar, preferably between 15 and 50 bar, may be used. The synthesis gas may have a H2:CO molar ratio, in the fresh feed, of 1.5:12 to 2.5:1, preferably 1.8:1 to 2.2:1. A space velocity, in m3(kg catalyst)−1 hour−1, of from 1 to 20, preferably from 8 to 12, may be utilized in the reaction stage. In principle, an iron-based, a cobalt-based or an iron/cobalt-based Fischer-Tropsch catalyst can be used in the Fischer-Tropsch reaction stage. The iron-based Fischer-Tropsch catalyst may comprise iron and/or iron oxides which have been precipitated or fused. However, iron and/or iron oxides which have been sintered, cemented, or impregnated onto a suitable support can also be used. The iron should be reduced to metallic Fe before the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The iron based catalyst may contain various levels of promoters, the role of which may be to alter one or more of the activity, the stability and the selectivity of the final catalyst. Preferred promoters are those influencing the surface area of the reduced iron (�structural promoters�) and these include oxides of metals of Mn, Ti, Mg, Cr, Ca, Si, Al or Cu or combinations thereof. Suitable catalysts include those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,077,995; 4,039,302; 4,151,190; 4,088,671; 4,042,614 and 4,171,320. U.S. Pat. No. 4,077,995 discloses a catalyst that includes a sulfided mixture of CoO. Al2O3 and ZnO. U.S. Pat. No. 4,039,302 discloses a mixture of the oxides of Co. Al. Zn and Mo. U.S. Pat. No. 4,151,190 discloses a metal oxide or sulfide of Mo. W. Re. Ru. Ni or Pt, plus an alkali or alkaline earth metal, with Mo-K on carbon being preferred. The invention's use in the preferred Fischer-Tropsch embodiment reaction of either a low or moderate chain growth catalyst or a high chain growth catalyst produces reactive products such as alcohols, other oxygenates and olefins, and generally unreactive paraffins. While not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed the olefins combine to form larger, heavy molecular weight products such as polymers when heated to elevated temperatures such as, for example, during hydroprocessing or hydrocracking operations. The polymers and/or heavy molecular weight products may deposit in heat exchangers and other processing equipment, fouling the equipment. The present invention minimizes or alleviates this problem. Although the formation of hydrocarbons from syngas is described herein in terms of a Fischer-Tropsch reaction, the reaction can optionally be performed using various modifications of the literal Fischer-Tropsch process where hydrogen (or water) and carbon monoxide (or carbon dioxide) are converted to hydrocarbons (e.g. paraffins, ethers, and the like). Thus, the terms �Fischer-Tropsch product,� �Fischer-Tropsch process� and �Fischer-Tropsch reaction� and the like are intended to apply to Fischer-Tropsch products and processes and the products formed by various modifications thereof. For example, these terms are intended to apply to the Kolbel-Engelhardt process typically described by the reaction:
After the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, C5+ hydrocarbons may be divided into two product streams comprising at least one low-boiling fraction (generally in the C5-20 range), primarily used to form combustible liquid fuels, and a high-boiling fraction such as a wax (C20+). The high-boiling fraction, e.g. the wax fraction, can either be used directly, or can be reacted to form lubricant base oils or lower molecular weight products, as desired. For example, the high-boiling wax fraction can be hydrocracked to provide lower molecular weight products, such as combustible liquid fuels. The lighter fraction typically comprises a mixture of hydrocarbons, including mono-olefins and alcohols. The mono-olefins are present in an amount of at least about 5.0 wt % of the lighter fraction, preferably at least about 15.0 wt % of the lighter fraction, and most preferably at least about 25.0 wt % of the lighter fraction. The mono-olefins boil at a temperature in the range of about −105� C. to about 350� C. The alcohols are present in an amount typically of at least about 0.5 wt % or more. The alcohols boil in a temperature range of about 50� C. to about 350� C. The lighter fraction typically boils at a temperature of from about −65� C. to about 350� C. The lighter fraction may be processed separately, or combined with other streams, such as the heavier fraction, for further processing. The invention may be practiced either on the separate lighter fraction stream, or on a combined stream, or on any stream that may contain the reactive species described. The lighter fraction is optionally fed into a surge drum to flash separate any remaining light gases and water. In preferred embodiments, the drum is designed and operated such that it is sufficient to remove the majority of light gases and water without significantly reducing the condensate fraction flow-through. The surge drum is preferably blanketed with fuel gas to prevent absorption of nitrogen or other ambient gases into the lighter fraction. The lighter fraction is then transmitted to a feed pump where it is pressurized. The feed pump preferably includes a minimum flow bypass to prevent loss of feed and a stop check valve system to prevent back-flow to the low pressure feed system. After leaving the feed pump or pumps, the pressurized lighter fraction is mixed with a hydrogen-containing gas stream of the invention. This lighter fraction includes a relatively large proportion of olefins and some oxygenates, such as alcohols. It is desirable to remove the oxygenates, typically through hydrotreatment. While not wishing to be bound by theory, when the lighter fraction is heated for hydroconversion, the olefins and/or alcohols are believed to form heavy molecular weight products, such as polymers. These products can foul heat exchangers and other downstream equipment. While it is desirable to remove the high molecular weight products, it is more desirable to minimize or inhibit their formation. Adding even a small amount of hydrogen-containing gas, typically less than about 500 SCFB of hydrogen, preferably less than about 100 SCFB, and more preferably less than about 50 SCFB, to the lighter fraction before it is heated and sent to the hydrotreater prevents or minimizes formation of the undesirable heavier molecular weight products. In particular, adding hydrogen helps prevent polymerization of the olefins and/or alcohols upon heating in the heat exchangers. The source of hydrogen can be virtually any hydrogen-containing gas that does not include significant amounts of impurities that would adversely affect the hydroconversion catalysts. In particular, the hydrogen-containing gas comprises sufficient amounts of hydrogen to achieve the desired effect, and may comprise other gases that are not harmful to the formation of desired end products and that do not promote or accelerate fouling of the downstream catalysts and hydrotreatment equipment. A preferred hydrogen-containing gas contains greater than 70 mole % hydrogen and trace amounts of gaseous hydrocarbons and other impurities. Examples of possible hydrogen-containing gases include hydrogen gas, syngas (or a fraction thereof), the hydrogen from a hydrogen plant, recycle gas in a hydroprocessing unit and the like. Alternately, the hydrogen-containing gas may be a portion of the hydrogen used for hydrogenating the wax fraction. After the hydrogen-containing gas is introduced into the lighter fraction, the combined stream is pre-heated, for example in a heat exchanger. The combined stream is typically heated to temperatures in the range of from about 120� C. to about 400� C. Catalysts useful for hydroconversion of the low-boiling fraction and wax fraction are well known in the art. See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,347,121 and 4,810,357 for general descriptions of hydroconversion catalysts and conditions. Suitable catalysts include noble metals from Group VIIIA, such as platinum or palladium on an alumina or siliceous matrix, and Group VIIIA and Group VIB metals, such as nickel, cobalt, molybdenum, tungsten or mixtures thereof on an alumina or siliceous matrix. U.S. Pat. No. 3,852,207 describes suitable noble metal catalysts and mild hydrotreating conditions. Other suitable catalysts are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,157,294 and 3,904,513. The contents of these patents are hereby incorporated by reference. The non-noble (such as nickel-molybdenum) hydrogenation metal is usually present in the final catalyst composition as an oxide or, more preferably, as a sulfide, when such compounds are readily formed from the particular metal involved. Preferred non-noble metal catalyst compositions contain in excess of about 5 weight percent, preferably about 5 to about 40 weight percent, molybdenum and/or tungsten, and at least about 0.5, preferably about 1 to about 15 weight percent of nickel and/or cobalt determined as the corresponding oxides. The noble metal (such as platinum) catalyst contains in excess of about 0.01 percent metal, preferably between about 0.1 and about 1.0 percent metal. Combinations of noble metals may also be used, such as mixtures of platinum and palladium. In a preferred embodiment, the hydroconversion reactor includes a plurality of catalyst beds, wherein one or more beds may function to remove impurities such as any metals and other solids which may be present, one or more additional beds may function to crack or convert the feedstock, and one or more other beds may function to hydrotreat the oxygenates and olefins in the condensate and/or wax fraction. The product from the hydroconversion reaction can be subject to distillation, catalytic isomerization and/or various additional process steps to provide lube oils, gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel and the like, as known to practitioners in the art. In one embodiment, a first hydrogen-containing gas is added to a hydrocarbon stream in an amount sufficient to reduce the amount of heavy molecular weight products formed during heating as compared to a heated hydrocarbon stream without added hydrogen, to form a mixed stream. The mixed stream is heated, preferably to a temperature in the range of from about 120� C. to about 400� C., and a second hydrogen-containing gas is added to the heated mixed stream in an amount, preferably more than 750 SCFB, sufficient to effect hydroconversion of the mixed stream to form a hydroconversion feed stream. The hydroconversion feed stream is heated to the reaction temperature, preferably to a temperature in the range of 250� C. to about 400� C., and the hydroconversion feed stream is hydroconverted. The process described herein will be readily understood by referring to the particularly preferred embodiment in the flow diagram in the accompanying Figure. In the Figure, the low-boiling fraction 1 from a Fischer-Tropsch reactor (not shown) is combined with a first hydrogen-containing gas 2 to form a mixed stream 3 and sent to a heat exchanger 10, where it comes into contact with a heating medium 11. Additional hydrogen-containing gas 5 is added to the heated mixed stream 4, and the resultant hydroconversion feed stream 6 is sent to a reactor feed/effluent heat exchanger 20. The resulting heated feed 7 is heated to reaction temperatures in furnace 30 and the reaction feedstock 12 is passed to a hydroconversion reactor 40. The product of the hydroconversion reaction 8 is sent back through the reactor feed/effluent heat exchanger 20, where it transfers its heat to the hydroconversion feed stream 6 and is thereby cooled. The reactor effluent 9 is then collected. The methods of heating the hydrocarbon streams in the heat exchangers in the present process can include any methods known to practitioners in the art. For example, a shell and tube heat exchanger may be used, wherein a heated substance, such as steam or a reaction product from elsewhere in the process, is fed through an outer shell, providing heat to the stream in an inner tube, thus heating the stream and cooling the heated substance in the shell. Alternately, the hydrocarbon stream may be heated directly by passing through a heated tube, wherein the heat may be supplied by electricity, combustion, or any other source known to practitioners in the art. Similarly, though a reactor feed/effluent heat exchanger is exemplified, the means of heating the hydroconversion feed stream may be any means known to practitioners in the art, including heat exchange or direct heating, as described above. The heat exchange may be performed using the heated effluent from the hydroconversion, other heated streams or steam, as known to practitioners in the art. Specific embodiments, especially with respect to Fischer-Tropsch, are described herein. However, practitioners in the art will recognize alternate materials, processes and operating parameters which may be used within the spirit of the above described invention. Such alternate materials, processes and operating parameters are meant to be included within the scope of the invention as set forth in the above description and the following claims. For example, the hydrogen addition process can be used in any chemical or refining process where fouling creates a problem. Patent Citations

iPad demo model catches fire in store
By Phil Dzikiy
News Editor, iLoungeGoogle+
Published: Friday, November 8, 2013
News Categories: Apple, iPad
An iPad demo model recently caught fire in an Australian store as a "burst of flames" appeared from the charging port, news.com.au reports. The Vodafone store in Canberra was evacuated after the incident, and no one was injured. Though the report only refers to the device as an iPad, other reports — such as this report from the Daily Mail — claim the device was an iPad Air. Apple reportedly sent a representative to investigate the incident. Two shock incidents earlier this year involving iPhone chargers in China prompted Apple to add a power adapter page to its Chinese website, as those accidents were allegedly caused by counterfeit chargers.

I've been there - often. Finding a way to think "outside the box" is the answer, but that's not always easy. To find other words and ideas, I use: Google Sets [labs.google.com] I also use several of the combined "WhoIs-lookup plus domain-suggestion" tools on the web. We don't allow the mention of specific tools here, but if you search on "domain name suggestions" you'll find a lot of helpful ideas

Biertempfel: Sanchez gives up No. 14 to Buck again
By Rob Biertempfel
Published: Saturday, Sept. 14, 2013, 10:26 p.m.
The day after he was traded to the Pirates, catcher John Buck found a surprise waiting for him in the clubhouse at PNC Park.
Hanging at Buck's locker was his uniform jersey — with No. 14 stitched on the back.
First baseman Gaby Sanchez, who had been wearing No. 14, knows the number has special meaning for Buck. As the Pirates' equipment staff started to put out Buck's new gear, Sanchez told them he wanted to give Buck his number.
"I was just keeping it warm for him," Sanchez said, smiling.
It's the second time Sanchez has handed over his No. 14 to Buck. When Sanchez was with the Miami Marlins in 2011, Buck joined the team as a free agent. Buck phoned Sanchez to ask if he wanted to swap numbers.
"Fourteen's always kind of has been my number as a way to remember my little brother Paul," Buck explained. "His birthday was April 14. When we were kids, I was always No. 11, and he was always No. 44. I put the 1 and the 4 together for 14."
Buck's brother died in 2000. Touched by the story, Sanchez readily agreed to give Buck the 14. Buck returned the favor by giving Sanchez a Brietling Bentley watch.
"It was a no-brainer for me to say, 'Here you go, have 14. I'll switch up,' " Sanchez said.
Buck wore 14 while he was with the Kansas City Royals (2006-09), the Toronto Blue Jays (2010) and the Marlins (2011-12). After he was dealt to New York last winter, Buck chose to wear 44 because the Mets already had retired No. 14.
"Some guy named Hodges," Buck said with a chuckle.
Gil Hodges managed the Miracle Mets to the World Series title in 1969. They retired his number in 1973.
Buck is the 52nd person to wear No. 14 with the Pirates. Hall of Famer Heinie Manush had it in 1939, the final year of his career. Gene Alley wore it from 1964-67, tried No. 22 for a couple of seasons, then went back to 14 from 1970-73. Jim Leyland was No. 14 in 1986, his first season as manager. Derek Bell had it on his back when he announced "Operation Shutdown" in 2002.
Sanchez and Buck became good friends while they were with the Marlins. Buck later moved to Miami, which is Sanchez's hometown, and the two often hang out and train together in the offseason.
Sanchez was traded to the Pirates midway through last season. The Pirates got Buck and Marlon Byrd from the Mets on Aug. 27.
"Once I saw he was coming here, I thought it would be nice for him to come in and have 14 again," said Sanchez, who took 17, the number that would have gone to Buck.
"There's never been a significant reason for me to have one number," Sanchez said with a shrug.
Buck was surprised by Sanchez's pre-emptive number switch. Sanchez still wears the watch from their first swap, so Buck isn't sure yet what thank-you gift he'll offer.
"I've been teasing him, telling him I'm going to get us matching charm bracelets with the No. 14 dangling from them or something," Buck said, laughing.

This is way too salty, I'm surprised others don't think so, but it distracted from the buttery flavor. I didn't simmer the last 10 minutes uncovered, but thought the zucchini and leek were perfectly tender even without that. Served with polenta and seitan.
Braised Zucchini and Leeks
There's enough moisture in the zucchini to braise this simple side dish. Although it needs to be cooked at the last minute, you can chop the leek and zucchini up to a day ahead; refrigerate the vegetables in separate zip-top plastic bags.

Healthier Food Ad Messages Generate Big Media Buzz
Healthier messaging from big fast-food and confection companies is getting women to talk to each other. A six-month analysis from the Women at NBCU Brand Power Index shows that brands such as McDonald's, Nestle, and Frito-Lay are generating bigger online and offline buzz.
McDonald's moved up 10 places on the NBC index to 15th place, stemming from a partnership with social game "FarmVille," which aligned the brand with fresh farm produce. A focus on four new salad options and "natural-cut" fries seasoned with sea salt moved Wendy's higher into 96th place.
Domino's Pizza gained a large number of places -- 140 spots -- to 218th, from its advertising push that touted California farm-grown tomatoes and 100% real cheese.
Commercials from Nestlé, which included products designed to prevent disease and improve health, help it gain 120 places to 153rd position. Frito-Lay made its first appearance on the list -- 361st place -- from two efforts, introducing its Artisan Recipes tortilla chips made with all-natural ingredients, then announcing that 50% of its products will be made with all-natural ingredients.
The Women at NBC Index, which started up last year, says after six months, the brands women continue to talk about include: 1) Walmart 2) Target 3) Verizon 4) eBay 5) Ford 6) Coca-Cola 7) AT&T 8) iPhone 9) iPod 10) Pepsi 11) Honda 12) Amazon.com 13) Sears 14) McDonald's 15) Samsung 16) Toyota 17) Bank of America 18) Netflix 19) Kohl's 20) Sony 21) Sprint 22) Microsoft 23) Tylenol 24) Xbox and 25) Comcast.
The Women at NBCU Brand Power Index is an analysis of 500 brands most talked about by women. It is based on online search data from Compete and social media buzz data from New Media Strategies, as well as person-to-person conversations tracked by Keller Fay Group.

The beach area has been renovated making it very attractive to people that enjoy leisure walks, rollerblading, sunbathing, swimming, snorkeling, or just people-watching. It is close to many activities such as golf, deep-sea and pier fishing, beach volleyball, restaurants, bars, theaters, shopping. The Ft. Lauderdale airport is approximately 35 minutes away and the West Palm Beach airport is about 45 minutes away. The Amtrak station is two miles away from where TriRail commuter trains offer service between West Palm Beach and Miami. An ideal location for a vacation but also strategically located for business people.

It's hard to argue with the effort. While Google has given its employees plenty of company time to explore new ideas they may now be putting that brain power to work to strengthen the existing tool set. Evidence of this is the announcement of the Google Analytics Individual Qualification (IQ). Analytics is one of the most popular and powerful offerings that the search leader offers to further put their hooks in their customers. It only makes sense that the better the understanding of this important tool would help Internet marketers and Google alike.
The press release by Google states
The Google Analytics IQ program is tailored for agencies who want to retain and develop employees who are knowledgeable about Web analytics, and for individuals who seek ways to improve their job prospects or further their own personal development. Individuals do not have to be associated with an agency or organization to take the online course or test.
A study from Forrester research in September of 2008 also tells the story that although outside consultants are valuable in helping companies further understand web analytics there is a need for staff to be better educated to lead internal efforts.
It will be interesting to see how this program is received. The vast majority of Internet marketers are not up to speed with analytics and barely have time to keep up with the nuances of SEO and paid search. Of course, if you can learn enough to pass the test then it's another badge for your website that says you're an expert. Just what we need in this industry …. more 'experts'.

Hard to watch every word you say when you are with a reporter for 2 days straight. We were talking about why i didn't add chat, more forum features etc etc. I mentioned how i'd done most of those things and got super rabid users. Many of these features helped 1% of the site and made the other 99% like the site less. To top it all off at the time i'd gotten about 20 police requests a month and after removing things like chat it went to 2. The time has long gone where i make a change and everyones happy. Now thousands of people yell at me for changing a single color, or moving a link let alone adding new features. What are they going to do? Its not like we don't get audited like every single other web company in canada. Pay no gst and you get flagged no matter what. The today show when all is said and done was the equivalent of about $15 million in free advertising, i hardly call that stupid. I've noticed one thing over the years, there are 2 kinds of people. (I'm taking 2 extremes here) 1. The first kind thinks no one is more successful than themselves and they tend to want everything handed to them on a silver platter. They don't really want to work. 2. The other extreme is people who take stuff at face value and than try and recreate it or try to understand every little detail and they constantly test everything in sight. These are the kind of people i've found running extremely successful businesses. Forums like webmasterworld are certainly interesting as you have a lot of Type 2's data mining type 1's for ideas. :)
"I don't listen to the users," he says. "The people who suggest things are the vocal minority who have stupid ideas that only apply to their little niches." Stupidity like this (having a public article like this) is a great why to alert yourself to the IRS or CRA. Good job Markus. Not wise. Raise your hand now if you still think he was stretching the truth ... anyone?

A Boone man is accused of breaking into a woman's apartment and trying to give her a back rub.
Boone police arrested 29-year-old Julio Antonio Yanez on Monday and charged him with one misdemeanor count each of breaking and entering and assault on a female.
Police say Yanez entered the woman's apartment on Oak Street, thinking the residence was that of an old acquaintance.
The victim told Yanez to leave, but officials say he then attempted to give the woman a back rub. The victim again asked Yanez to leave, and he did, police say.
Yanez was released from jail on a written promise to appear in court.

Nik Backstrom will be back in goal tonight in San Jose, two days after he shut out Calgary 3-0 with 41 saves.
Josh Harding was the NHL's First Star last week after four consecutive victories, but clearly Backstrom didn't lose his edge watching from the bench.
With a back-to-back in L.A. and Anaheim on Saturday and Sunday, you'd have to figure the goalies will split games in SoCal.
I'll have a few more updates when practice ends ...

Jennifer Lawrence's vampy nails at the Golden Globes
Whether you loved, hated or Instagrammed yourself in a white comforter version of Jennifer Lawrence's Dior Golden Globes gown, one thing universally agreed upon is that the actress's nails looked fierce. Her vampy burgundy mani immediately caught our eye against the billowy white dress. Turns out, her chic nails were the handiwork of stylist Deborah Lippmann.
Get the Look
1. Lippmann first applied Turn Back Time ($20) anti-aging base coat with light diffusing micronized diamond core powder.
2. She then layered the mulberry opaque pearl lacquer Bitches Brew ($17) to create a luxe, rich look.
3. Nails and toes were completed with Gel Lab top coat to achieve a high shine, long-wearing finish.

Hi all. I guess I'm hoping for some advice, as well as a place to vent. Sorry this is so long.
To give you a little background about me and my feelings about cats: I love all animals. I had a super special cat from when I was 11 years old, who lived until I was 29. She & I had a great relationship; I was as close to her as any human (and I love lots of humans too, lol). I brushed her every day, scooped her cat litter daily (and when I had a picky roommate, vacuumed in front of it daily as well), took her to vet appointments regularly, cut her nails once a week, and spent lots of time hanging out with her and talking to her when I was home. She slept in my bed, she'd run to the door when I got home, she'd lie on my chest and we'd gaze into each other's eyes, she'd put her paw on my cheek when I was sad; in short, we had a wonderful, loving, mutually beneficial relationship. She certainly wasn't always perfectly behaved, but she seemed genuinely sorry when she upset me, and learned not to do certain things after a while. Even after her, I got along well with cats; I had a really irresponsible roommate a couple years later who adopted a cat in hopes that his 12 year old daughter, who didn't live with him full time, would take care of it; they both ultimately ignored it, and I cared for this cat, gave her attention, and finally got my parents to take her in after I moved away from there (I knew realistically that my life plans at that point simply could not include being a cat owner). I was pretty sure anyway that I didn't really want another cat; maybe a dog, someday, when I really had the time and energy to put into it.
Another thing: I have volunteered at animal shelters, starting in my early teens, and FIRMLY believe that adoption of an animal is for life.
Fast forward a few years. I'm sleeping at my soon-to-be husbands house. He has two cats. They're kind of weird, but he explains that they were rescues, and they are a lot better than they used to be. While we are sleeping, they piss all over my bag & clothes. He apologizes profusely, I say they were probably just jealous, and assure them that we will become the best of friends (because obviously, even though I personally didn't want cats, my husband adopted them, so they come along with him).
Fast forward a couple more years: I can't stand these cats. They have pissed on several things (which I have washed). After I did some research (note: I did the research, not my husband), we got a second cat box; this helped somewhat, but they still piss on things. For this reason, I can't let them in the bedroom, and my 9 month old son's playmat has to be in our shared bedroom (in our 1 bedroom apartment). A little awkward when we want to have playdates here. The cats are not really affectionate. One mostly ignores us. The other like to sit with his anus pressed against your bare skin. Honestly, that is what he wants. If you try to adjust him, he usually just runs away. One of them likes to knock stuff off shelves on purpose; he also will occasionally bite or scratch if you annoy him. They puke on convenient places like the couch and the futon (maybe that's normal, but my cat never did that). They don't seem to care at all if they upset us. They are just not pleasant to have around.
Compounded by this is my husband's care of them, or lack thereof. It is totally different in every way than how I cared for my late beloved cat. Yes, he makes sure they have food & water daily, but that's where any kind of daily care ends. He scoops out their cat boxes ONCE A WEEK (ugh!). There is always cat litter all over the floor; we tried a mat, but they like to piss on the mat, and my husband rarely cleans in front of the cat litter. Of course I try to sweep as much as possible, but I don't always get to it daily, and there are always bits of cat litter sticking to our feet (which then ends up everywhere, including in our bed and on our son's playmat). He almost never cuts their nails, and they have really sharp, jagged nails; I am afraid for our son (who of course tries to grab them), and on the rare occasion when they are affectionate and stretch out a paw to us, it's usually met with a yelp of pain from us because of their razor sharp, jagged nails (this probably doesn't help with them wanting to be affectionate). He almost never brushes them, and there is cat hair everywhere. Right now, they are a few months late on their vet appointment, which will never happen unless I set it up. My husband doesn't really pay much attention to them at all. I suggested we get a new cat toy a few months ago; only I have played with it with them. No wonder they are not much fun to be around; from their perspective, humans just aren't very interesting or relevant.
I am so frustrated at this situation. We have a very energetic & demanding 9 month old baby; I really don't have the time, energy or desire to properly care for and socialize two unfriendly, behaviorally-challenged cats. As I said, I didn't even want cats; I didn't want ANY pet until I felt I was really ready to give it the time and attention it deserves (I figured I'd wait on the dog until our son was older). My husband and I have had several fights about this; he always ends up empathizing with me and promising to care for them better & socialize them more, but not much has changed. Giving them away is not an option. Giving them to a shelter would be their death warrant, and I am definitely not okay with that. As far as re-homing them - be honest, if you have read this far, would you want them? I'm tired of nagging my husband about this. And frankly, I don't want my son to grow up thinking this is how you relate to pets; I want him to experience the wonderful, mutually beneficial relationship that I had with pets growing up.
Anyone have a similar situation? Any suggestions? Thanks for reading.

28:17 He was afraid - So far was he from being puffed up. The more we see of God, the more cause we see for holy trembling and blushing before him. Those whom God is pleased to manifest himself to, are laid and kept very low in their own eyes, and see cause to fear even the Lord and his goodness, #Hos 3:5|. And said, How dreadful is this place! - That is, the appearance of God in this place is to be thought of, but with a holy awe and reverence; I shall have a respect for this place, and remember it by this token as long as I live. Not that he thought the place itself any nearer the divine visions than any other places; but what he saw there at this time was, as it were, the house of God, the residence of the Divine Majesty, and the gate of heaven, that is, the general rendezvous of the inhabitants of the upper world; as the meetings of a city were in their gates; or, the angels ascending and descending were like travellers passing and repassing through the gates of a city.

First of all i want to say that im not an english speaker, so sorry for my english hahaha. So, that is the question, Lee Sin or Fizz? I dont have use any of them but i what them in battle, and also i saw the two spotlight, the two ar very funny to play, and strong, but what do you think about that? Help plis! Maybe i will buy the two when i can, but wich can i should buy first?
Senior Member
Lee Sin
Nexus Crawler
Lee Sin is probably the better choice since he can Solo Top, or jungle. He has good burst, great utility, and can be built in several different ways. As a first choice I'd probably recommend him. Fizz is also a great pick in my opinion for different reasons. He would probably make a good Solo Top, or even possible a counter mid pick for a number of champions, and could possible jungle. I haven't tested that since I play primarily Dominion now. Like Lee Sin; Fizz has several viable builds, but is generally squishier with either more burst and practically 0 survivability, or a decent mix of both with good dps for a limited amount of time. First question I'd ask myself is do you need an AD or a AP champion. Second I'd ask which do I have the runes for.
Fizz is quite a bit easier to play than Lee Sin, although I think Lee Sin has a much higher potential if you play him enough
[QUOTE=Nexus Crawler;17343431]Lee Sin is probably the better choice since he can Solo Top, or jungle. [QUOTE] I just wanted to say, Fizz can jungle DDDD Ok, but it really depends. Both are very mobile, Fizz a little more so. Lee Sin, however, seems to do more damage with a full rotation of skills and attacks. They're pretty similar, but as he said, the main thing is, do you want a caster or do you want an autoattacker?
[QUOTE=PracticalPotato;17350910][QUOTE=Nexus Crawler;17343431]Lee Sin is probably the better choice since he can Solo Top, or jungle.
lee sin the best jungler so get him
Fizz is very fun! I love playing Fizz. I've owned Lee sin, and just now learning him. Pick one! won't matter.. then buy the other one next!
Don't buy either until you've tried them out. they're both high skill champs- SO TRY THEM FIRST. If they don't match your playstyle you will hate them.
Lee Sin. He can just walk into the enemy Fizz's jungle and kill him at level 1. Not only that, but his pole trick won't work. Just Sonic Wave onto him, wait for his pole ability, then Resonating Strike. There's not much he can do after that. Also. Once Fizz uses his abilities, he's out of damage. Everyone builds Fizz AP, not AS, and if you can survive his initial burst, he can't really do anything to stop you. He's very squishy, too.

As seis regras de John Updike
Num texto de 1977, John Updike resumiu um conjunto de seis regras a seguir pelos críticos literários, no exercício do seu trabalho. Ei-las:
«1. Try to understand what the author wished to do, and do not blame him for not achieving what he did not attempt.
2. Give him enough direct quotation–at least one extended passage–of the book's prose so the review's reader can form his own impression, can get his own taste.
3. Confirm your description of the book with quotation from the book, if only phrase-long, rather than proceeding by fuzzy precis.
4. Go easy on plot summary, and do not give away the ending. (How astounded and indignant was I, when innocent, to find reviewers blabbing, and with the sublime inaccuracy of drunken lords reporting on a peasants' revolt, all the turns of my suspenseful and surpriseful narrative! Most ironically, the only readers who approach a book as the author intends, unpolluted by pre-knowledge of the plot, are the detested reviewers themselves. And then, years later, the blessed fool who picks the volume at random from a library shelf.)
5. If the book is judged deficient, cite a successful example along the same lines, from the author's ouevre or elsewhere. Try to understand the failure. Sure it's his and not yours?
To these concrete five might be added a vaguer sixth, having to do with maintaining a chemical purity in the reaction between product and appraiser. Do not accept for review a book you are predisposed to dislike, or committed by friendship to like. Do not imagine yourself a caretaker of any tradition, an enforcer of any party standards, a warrior in an idealogical battle, a corrections officer of any kind. Never, never (John Aldridge, Norman Podhoretz) try to put the author 'in his place,' making him a pawn in a contest with other reviewers. Review the book, not the reputation. Submit to whatever spell, weak or strong, is being cast. Better to praise and share than blame and ban. The communion between reviewer and his public is based upon the presumption of certain possible joys in reading, and all our discriminations should curve toward that end.»
Concordo particularmente com esta frase: «Better to praise and share than blame and ban.»

Let's discuss Texans ILB
I am not sold on Reed moving to ILB but either way, Texans will probably draft OLB in top 3 rounds. Last draft it was with pick one (Mercilus). If Reed does not move, tell me what you think we need to replace Bradie James. Will another scrub vet be the direction Phillips goes or will he want a top three round draft selection.
IMO if we draft by round three we could go with a round 4 or after ILB. I like Klein or Beauharnais in 5th and think he would do well beside Cush and behind Brandon Williams. Also the addition of Ed Reed would make the transition smoother for a late round guy.
