Canon (music)
In music, a canon is a contrapuntal compositional technique that employs a melody with one or more imitations of the melody played after a given duration (e.g., quarter rest, one measure, etc.). The initial melody is called the leader (or dux), while the imitative melody, which is played in a different voice, is called the follower (or comes). The follower must imitate the leader, either as an exact replication of its rhythms and intervals or some transformation thereof (see "Types of canon", below). Repeating canons in which all voices are musically identical are called rounds – "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" and "Frère Jacques" being widely known examples. An example of a classical strict canon is the Minuet of Haydn's String Quartet in D Minor, Op. 76, No. 2 (White 1976, 66).
Accompanied canon is a canon accompanied by one or more additional independent parts which do not take part in imitating the melody.
Through the 18th century the word used to describe strict imitation was "fuga", and only in the 16th century did the word "canon" begin to be used to describe the musical form created by such a procedure (Mann, Wilson, and Urquhart n.d.).
The earliest known canons are English rounds, a form called rondellus starting in the 14th century (Mann, Wilson, and Urquhart n.d.); the best known is Sumer Is Icumen In (composed around 1250), called a rota ("wheel") in the manuscript source (Sanders 2001a and 2001b).
Types of canon[edit]
The most rigid and ingenious forms of canon are not strictly concerned with pattern but also with content. Canons are classified by various traits: the number of voices, the interval at which each successive voice is transposed in relation to the preceding voice, whether voices are inverse, retrograde, or retrograde-inverse; the temporal distance between each voice, whether the intervals of the second voice are exactly those of the original or if they are adjusted to fit the diatonic scale, and the tempo of successive voices. However, canons may use more than one of the above methods.
How voices in a canon are named[edit]
Although, for clarity, this article uses leader and follower(s) to denote the leading voice in a canon and those that imitate it, musicological literature also uses the traditional Latin terms dux and comes for "leader" and "follower", respectively.
Number of voices[edit]
A canon of two voices may be called a canon in two, similarly a canon of x voices would be called a canon in x. This terminology may be used in combination with a similar terminology for the interval between each voice, different from the terminology in the following paragraph.
Another standard designation is "Canon: Two in One", which means two voices in one canon. "Canon: Four in Two" means four voices with two simultaneous canons. While "Canon: Six in Three" means six voices with three simultaneous canons, and so on.
A simple canon (also known as a round) imitates the leader perfectly at the octave or unison. Well-known canons of this type include the famous children's songs Row, Row, Row Your Boat and Frère Jacques.
If the follower imitates the precise interval quality of the leader, then it is called a strict canon; if the follower imitates the interval number (but not the quality—e.g., a major third may become a minor third), it is called a free canon (Kennedy 1994).
Contrapuntal derivations[edit]
The follower is by definition a contrapuntal derivation of the leader.
Canon by inversion[edit]
An inversion canon (also called an al rovescio canon) has the follower moving in contrary motion to the leader. Where the leader would go down by a particular interval, the follower goes up by that same interval (Kennedy 1994).
In a retrograde canon, also known as a canon cancrizans (Latin for crab canon, derived from the Latin cancer = crab), the follower accompanies the leader backward (in retrograde). Alternative names for this type are canon per recte et retro or canon per rectus et inversus (Kennedy 1994).
Mensuration and tempo canons[edit]
In a mensuration canon (also known as a prolation canon, or a proportional canon), the follower imitates the leader by some rhythmic proportion. The follower may double the rhythmic values of the leader (augmentation or sloth canon) or it may cut the rhythmic proportions in half (diminution canon). Phasing involves the application of modulating rhythmic proportions according to a sliding scale.[clarification needed] The cancrizans, and often the mensuration canon, take exception to the rule that the follower must start later than the leader.[clarification needed]
Many such canons were composed during the Renaissance, particularly in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries; Johannes Ockeghem wrote an entire mass (the Missa prolationum) in which each section is a mensuration canon, and all at different speeds and entry intervals. In the 20th century, Conlon Nancarrow composed complex tempo or mensural canons, mostly for the player piano as they are extremely difficult to play. Larry Polansky has an album of mensuration canons, Four-Voice Canons. Arvo Pärt has written several mensuration canons, including Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten, Arbos and Festina Lente. Per_Nørgård's infinity series has a sloth canon structure (Mortensen n.d.). This self-similarity of sloth canons makes it "fractal like" and the same idea is explored in Fractal Tune Smithy's Sloth Canons
Other types of canon[edit]
The most familiar of the canons is the perpetual/infinite canon (in Latin: canon perpetuus) or round. As each voice of the canon arrives at its end it can begin again, in a perpetuum mobile fashion; e.g., "Three Blind Mice". Such a canon is also called a round or, in medieval Latin terminology, a rota. Sumer is icumen in is one example of a piece designated rota.
Additional types include the spiral canon, accompanied canon, and double or triple canon.[clarification needed]
Mirror canon[edit]
In a mirror canon (or canon by contrary motion), the subsequent voice imitates the initial voice in inversion. They are not very common, though examples of mirror canons can be found in the works of Bach, Mozart (e.g., the trio from Serenade for Wind Octet in C, K. 388), Webern, and other composers.
Table canon[edit]
A Table canon is a retrograde and inverse canon meant to be placed on a table in between two musicians, who both read the same line of music in opposite directions. As both parts are included in each single line, a second line is not needed. Bach wrote a few table canons (Benjamin 2003, 120).
Rhythmic canon[edit]
Olivier Messiaen employed a technique which he called "rhythmic canon", a polyphony of independent strands in which the pitch material differs. An example is found in the piano part of the first of the Trois petites liturgies de la présence divine, where the left hand (doubled by strings and maracas), and the right hand (doubled by vibraphone) play the same rhythmic sequence in a 3:2 ratio, but the right hand adapts a sequence of 13 chords in the sixth mode (B-C-D-E-F-F-G-A-B) onto the 18 duration values, while the left hand twice states nine chords in the third mode (Griffiths 2001).
Elaborate use of canon technique[edit]
- Josquin des Prez, Missa L'homme armé super voces musicales, Agnus Dei 2: One voice with the words 'ex una voce tres' (three voice parts out of one), a mensuration canon in three voices.
- Josquin des Prez, Missa L'homme armé sexti toni, Agnus Dei 2: two simultaneous canons in the four upper voices, and at the same time a crab canon in the two lower voices.
- Johann Sebastian Bach's Goldberg Variations contains nine canons of increasing interval size, ranging from unison to ninth. Each canon additionally obeys the overall structure and harmonic sequence common to all variations in the composition.
Contemporary canons[edit]
In his early work, such as Piano Phase (1967) and Clapping Music (1972), Steve Reich used a process he calls phasing which is a "continually adjusting" canon with variable distance between the voices, in which melodic and harmonic elements are not important, but rely simply on the time intervals of imitation (Mann, Wilson, and Urquhart n.d.).

if it is not channel five fault then whose fault is it. Someone should take note and fix it.
So how come I can watch anything else on any channel and the only thing I can't watch, along with many others from these comments, is Home and Away. I have watched Holby with no problems in between trying to watch this evening but still can't watch Home & Away now!! I have a quadcore & there is nothing else to update. Do you work for Channel 5 and are speaking from fact?
Even with a new lap top that is up to date and defrag'd I still can't watch it in the evenings. Have managed to watch in the mornings (only OK if you are around in the mornings ever) and saw 3 in a row today with no problems. Have given up watching today's one tonight though. Only get a few seconds at a time with lots of freezing. Can watch other channels with no problems. About time it was fixed.
It isn't Channel 5's fault if there are people watching with no problems.

Guys who are having problems please make sure you have updated your java AND flash platforms , run disk clean-up and disk - defrag , the people who mostly have issues running online streaming vids neglect these easily fixable issues.
yes Marky J you are completely right :) this is complete nonsense. completely unsatisfactory
Listen you lot, still can't get the spool to run. HAving to watch Neighbours instead and what a load of crap that is... Sort it out would you.
I think that jett has a right to know his own father but then again choose whether he stands with him and stuff, it not fair on him if he dont get to meet his dad and if ginas hiding things away from him... Thats pretty sad man, i think she should tell him...

Bring Pesky Back!
Johnny Pesky dedicated his life to the Boston Red Sox organization, as a player, manager, and coach. The sox, in a classy move, allowed him to suit up and sit in the dugout during games this year. That is, until the Baltimore Orioles complained. MLB complied, banning Pesky from the dugout and clubhouse during games. Tell MLB to do the right thing and allow Johnny Pesky the dignity of suiting up for one last series.

Limiting the number of dictionaries used by "multilingual"?
Yes, I have done it quite successfully, and easily.
Of course, it doesn't apply to applications that don't rely on Apple's standard spelling service...
Here's how i did it:
First I created a folder called "AppleSpellTest" inside my folder "zzz_Disabled_Stuff" that is in my home folder, then I made a backup of the files we'll modify by doing this:
Then, i only wanted French, English, Spanish, and Multilingual (don't forget this is an option when we edit the menu later), so i moved all the rest like this:
Now all we have to do is change the menu itself:
first we open the Info.plist file:
You can also edit the plist file with BBEdit or Apple's Property List Editor....
then remove all the languages (under where it says 'array') except en, fr, es, multilingual so that the menu section looks like this:
Save, Restart, and you're done, and it really works!!!

Get the Recipe: Parsley Smashed New Potatoes
Cooking the potatoes just right is key. If they're undercooked, you'll have pockets of crispy potato chunks—a big no-no for classic fluffy mashed potatoes. If you overcook them they disintegrate and your potatoes will be soupy. The specific cooking time depends on the size of your potato: a perfectly cooked piece of potato should give no resistance when cut with a knife, but shouldn't crumble into a million pieces.

All Blues' Defense Wins WPL Semi |
Clubs - Women's Clubs | |
Defense and finishing were major factors in Berkeley's 17-7 win over San Diego in the Women's Premier League semifinal. The Surfers had tons of possession throughout the match, but wasn't able to convert those opportunities into points until the final minutes of the game. As for the near-shutout, "I really wanted it for our defense," Berkeley coach Kathy Flores said. "Through the league, we didn't play as well defensively as I would have liked. We worked on it, and they did a really good job of bringing it around." Defense was especially crucial in the first quarter, as San Diego took it Berkeley hard. The Surfers found themselves in scoring position a couple of times, but a penalty here, knock-on there ended those threats. After 30 minutes, neither team had breached the tryline. "We knew it was going to be really tough against San Diego," Flores said. "We both have really fast backs, and we have forwards who want to play the ball. We knew we were going to be evenly matched. Our game plan was to take it in the middle, then move the ball out wide, but San Diego did a very good job of slowing our ball down." Up against their tryline, Berkeley received a penalty and the ball found inside center Jill Whitfield. As Surfers fell off tackles, Whitfield eventually offloaded to Folayan around midfield. The Eagle wing outpaced her pursuers for the first of her two tries, 5-0. In general, it was difficult to work the ball wide, as the fierce winds manipulated the crispest of passes. But when Folayan got her hands on the ball, she did good things with it. Into the second half, the All Blues found themselves within striking distance once again, thanks to a linebreak from flyhalf Ashley English. Wing Irene Gardner helped the team inch closer, and after a couple of pick-and-goes, Katie Chou dove over the line for the try, 10-0. Folayan notched the final Berkeley try after forcing missed tackles and spinning off of defenders. On the whole, Berkeley found more success with its finishers and were able to turn possession into points. Their tough defense forced turnovers and penalties, even though the All Blues were also plagued by a high penalty count. San Diego Marea Blue prevented the shutout with only minutes remaining, juking her way in from 10 meters out. Kirstin Hartos kicked the conversion for the 17-7 final. "It was one of those 'If we make it out alive' kind of things," Flores said. "I can't speak for [San Diego coach] Richie [Walker], but I assume it was the same for him. Flores wasn't happy with the penalty count – some of which she admitted the team deserved, and others that arose from questionable management of the tackle area when the All Blues were attempting to poach the ball. But overall, the All Blues coach was pleased with the performance. "We're hitting our stride. We're where we want to be," Flores said. "Offensively, we could have done a few more things, which we'll have to change for the Amazons. But our defense is where we want it to be." Flores took in the Amazons v Beantown match, and admitted that the players have a few things to work on if they expect to be prepared for Twin Cities' physical forwards. But the All Blues are tough, too, as they proved against their toughest competition this year. It should be a great match between the Zons and All Blues this Sunday. |

Definition of neural arch in English:
neural arch
Line breaks: neur¦al archnoun
Anatomy- The curved rear (dorsal) section of a vertebra, enclosing the canal through which the spinal cord passes.More example sentences
- In all of the dorsal vertebrae, the neural arches are comparatively simple, and lack deep or partitioned excavations between the zygapophyseal and diapophyseal laminae.
- Muscle fascicles originate off the skull, the transverse processes and neural arches of vertebrae, and off two connective tissues-the deep surface of the SDS, and the ventral surface of the deep tendon.

Nadia Younes was a remarkable person who loved life and has proven to be an inspiration to many young Egyptian and Arab women. After a long and interesting career at the United Nations spanning some 30 years, her life was tragically cut short by the devastating bombing at the UN headquarters in Baghdad on August 19, 2003.
The Younes family has created this site to bring together the many articles and letters about Nadia that have been collected since her death as well as a collection of her photos. This site will bring you news of activities and events from the AUC Fund established in her name. Additionally, you will find a guestbook where those who knew and loved her can share their memories by contributing souvenirs and thoughts.
This site is intended to be upbeat, inspiring, uplifting and hopefully even a little irreverent; all qualities that epitomised Nadia's strong and colourful character.

Recently took delivery of a beautiful Emaes Lounger, ordering was simple and chair arrived very well wrapped within days. I was e-mailed when the chair was dispatched and to confirm safe delivery, the chair was very easy to assemble, 4 bolts in total.
All I can say is I wish all internet companies were like this, I would recommend this company time and again.
Paid the £25 for a survey after being told we could have a soild flue burner, 3rd party engineer called and told me I should never have been given that information by Stovesareus. Please do not pay money to Stoves are us, find a local company and ask them to provide you a quote.
Had no problem with this company, placed my order then found this review site while looking for a contact number to change my order. I emailed the company and somebody phoned me back within 20 minutes to change my order. When I arrived at work today my package was waiting for me on my desk.

Course reviews
+0 votes Andrew E › January 23, 2014
This course was fuckin badass!! Only reason it's not getting a A+ is the distances were not very long. I mean there are some longer hole's but I would imagine that in the summer when you are not consumed by layers of under armour, and down filled jackets, and snow pants, heavyset boots, that all but maybe 2 holes would be reachable by an advanced am1 player with not much trouble. Nonetheless it was a great course!! More so the dudes who run the leagues up here in Alaska and the dudes who thr ...

this is a great course, its highly technical. A person needs to hit there lines the only con is there are only a couple holes you can really rip a disc.
I don't see how a person could dislike this course, cause it will only improve your game. But I had a good time. The people I met were friendly and nice enough to show me the course

To start, this course has great baskets that love to catch even the worst putters and lucky aces, and the location is nice because you can get away from town and breath in the fresh air that the creek circulates through the course. Unlike other courses in Alaska, this one provides trashcans at each tee box, so the park is always clean of litter. The course is generally flat in elevation besides hole 8 where you throw about 200' with a vertical drop of about 50'. That being said; what this co ...

Kids need to stop vandalizing the course. I like how they have cleaned the course up in the past couple years. By taking out some trees and mulching them for the wet spots. Peters creek

Course is Kick-Ass as usual. The normal 4 to 5 holes with muddy tee pads but thats expected this time of year. Looks like some punk-ass kids ripped a couple of tee pad signs down.

The tee pads were under construction so i played where i could stand and still did ok. once the tee pads are done this course is going to be the sickest course in Alaska.

Peters Creek is the first place I threw a disc, back in the spring of 2007. Over the years I've played several hundred rounds at this technical, tightly wooded course. During the summer of 2013, the Alaska Disc Golf Association remodeled the course, changing several of the holes and installing long awaited concrete tee pads. This project consumed a great part of my summer (including my vacation for the year) so I may be somewhat biased, but I consider the new course to be one of the best in t ...

Maintain Healthy Blood Pressure Naturally
Blood pressure is an essential part of cardiovascular health. If you think of your heart and arteries as a system that rhythmically circulates blood throughout your body, then blood pressure is the measurement of how much effort your heart and arteries must put forth to make that happen.
To keep your blood pressure in the healthy range (less than 120 mmHg / less than 80 mmHg), you must address the factors that affect circulation. These include (1) keeping your heart muscle strong and protected, (2) ensuring that blood vessels are flexible so they can easily contract and dilate, and (3) keeping the inside of your arteries as smooth as possible.
A blood pressure–friendly diet, regular exercise, and stress reduction are three ways you can begin managing your blood pressure immediately. I also recommend my following supplement formulas, all of which include nutrients that promote healthy blood pressure and circulation. Click on each of them to learn more about their unique ingredients and to decide which one is right for you.

Just wanted to post one last time to bring this site to a close.
I had a great time working on this after Roman brought me on and it was fun to work with everyone here: Chris, Foley, Dany, Mike, Kevin & all of the guest posters we've had.

Good luck to everyone that has done...
Finally, an update on Phinally…
on November - 18 - 2010
I know it's been a while for us here at Phinally Philly, but as the above tweet shows, we've been on a semi-permanent hiatus for a few months. Everyone involved kind of got busy with other things, be it school related, job related, or just plain busy. I've felt bad not giving an update, so I figured today would be a good day.
However, as anyone following our Twitter account could tell, we've been quite...
Sixers deal Smith, Green to Hornets in four-player deal
on September - 23 - 2010
Amidst the craziness that is the Philadelphia sports scene lately, it's safe to say the Sixers aren't being discussed around the water cooler in your office.
However, that doesn't mean the Sixers aren't making moves.
On Thursday the Sixers made a deal with the New Orleans Hornets. Sending longest tenured Sixer, Willie Green, and former 1st round pick Jason Smith to the Hornets in exchange for big...
22 games left for the Phillies, but 6 will decide the NL East
on September - 8 - 2010
For the first time since May 30th, the Philadelphia Phillies woke up on top of the NL East today with a 1/2 game lead over the Atlanta Braves. Since holding a 7 game lead over the Phillies on July 21st, the Braves have gone 24-22. Over that same stretch, the Fightins have gone 32-15 to overtake Atlanta.
Everyone has been waiting for Atlanta to fall back to Earth at some point this season, but they do appear to be a legitimate...
Keeping an eye on the Birds going into final preseason game
on September - 2 - 2010
Tonight's final preseason matchup against the Jets will be one for the hardcore fans. The game, which begins at 8 at the Linc, will be devoid of all of the familiar faces. While you won't be able to get your fix of Celek, Kolb, or DeSean, there will be plenty of important things to keep an eye on that will have an effect on the team as they head into their season opener on September 12 at home against Green Bay.
Impact playing for Team USA will have for Iguodala, Sixers
on August - 31 - 2010
When the Sixers took Andre Iguodala 9th overall in 2004, they drafted him in hopes he'd become the eventual face of the franchise. Since then the team has gone through it's ups and downs. Now 6 years later, the future maybe now.
Iguodala has earned a spot on the USA Basketball squad for the 2010 Worlds, something that could jump start his career. The opportunity to play with some of the NBA's best young talent,...
Don't measure the Eagles by the preseason
on August - 29 - 2010
Taking too much stock in preseason football can make a pessimist out of even the most positive fan. This team has taken their lumps in many of the expected areas, and while the playoffs seem like a longshot this year, things are not all bad.
The outcome of a season can never be based on the results of the preseason, especially when the starters only see action in six quarters over the course of four games. These games are...
Cornelius Ingram to get MRI on left knee
on August - 25 - 2010
It wouldn't be a preseason without an injury to tight end Cornelius Ingram, and almost like clockwork, he'll be getting an MRI on his left knee this week. He missed several days of training camp and practice with a swollen calf and issues with this knee, and with an overall disappointing preseason, this almost seemed inevitable.
This is the same knee that suffered an ACL tear while he was in college, and as well,...
Familiar woes among Eagles preseason problems
on August - 24 - 2010
Lots of people have been talking about how bad the Eagles looked on Friday. After looking back at a few key moments and letting things fester for a few days, I agree…and disagree. The key issues remain some of the team's classic, perennial issues – converting for a touchdown inside the redzone, penalties, and the offensive line's inability to effectively protect the quarterback.
While the team had...
More positional battles to play out in preason matchup against Bengals
on August - 19 - 2010
Strictly looking at the score, last week's preseason opener against Jacksonville was a win, but digging a little deeper, there are plenty of things the Eagles need to work on. While some of those issues may be new, many of them are long-standing ones that plague the team year-in and year-out. Tomorrow night's matchup in Cincinnati against the Bengals will be the perfect place to address them.

The exception to the general pattern focusing on the Trillion Dollar Coin (TDC) as the solution to the debt ceiling problem I outlined and critiqued in my last post, is in Joe Wiesenthal 's posts here and here. Wiesenthal alone criticizes, rather than ignores, other options than the TDC, namely the $16 T and $100 T options, on grounds that they are no more effective at meeting the debt ceiling crisis than the TDC. He says that the issue is not a lack money but the debt ceiling law, and also that if a coin that large were minted and used to pay back the debt, then the result would be inflation or hyperinflation because of the flow of the large quantity of reserves into the economy, and the ensuing great expansion in the money supply.

one of the better movies i've seen in a long time
a truly original fim, with great acting and writing!!
Wasn't my kind of movie to see Bruce Willis in... Didn't care for it that much but still gave it a 3 star
One of the best films i've seen in a long time!
Really liked it!
I've seen better movies but this was not bad. The action was good and the plot was ok.
I never thought Bruce Willis will act in or on such a movie, but still was okay.Also wondering about that kid? and his character?
Movie reminded me of Blade Runner in composition. Violent but necessary. Plot twists, and keeps you guessing until the end...and left questioning afterwards. Best sci fi flick i've seen in a long long time. Go watch it.

Bad Customer Service – EVERY time my husband, daughter & I have gone to this Applebee's we stand at the front door for AT LEAST 5 minutes without being seated. They really should just have a "Please Seat Yourself" sign. I mean on average about 4+ employees look at us standing there and do nothing when you're clearly visable to the bar staff and the passing waitresses in the non bar area. Once we are seated the service is usually fantastic! It's just not fun going through the trouble of actually being seated. OH! And I can't stand when these places seat you in the booth next to the ONLY other customers in the room! I understand a waitress has zones but she has more than one table in that zone so a table between customers wouldn't hurt...

I think so too, your team is pretty nicely built. It bites that crits don't take screen support in consideration, but oh well.
I don't like rechallenging people who've already seen the team I just used even if I got DC'd. I didn't care about the crit on my gorebyss, I accept that. I mean, your Hi Jump Kick missed and that was still unfortunate.

Dry eyes are caused by a lack of tears. Tears are necessary for the normal lubrication of your eyes and to wash away particles and foreign bodies.
Tearing - decreased; Eyes - dry
If you have dry eyes, you will feel a burning, scratching, or stinging sensation. You may also have strained or tired eyes after reading, even for short periods of time. If you wear contacts, they will likely feel uncomfortable. Having dry eyes for a while can lead to tiny abrasions on the surface of your eyes.
Common causes of dry eyes include:
Try artificial tears, available as either drops or ointment. Ointments last longer, but are thicker and can cause blurry vision for a short while after you place them in the eye.
Call your health care provider if:
Your health care provider will take a medical history and perform a physical examination, including a careful eye examination.
To help better understand your dry eyes, your health care provider may ask the following:
Your health care provider may perform tearing tests that can help diagnose dry eyes. Artificial tears may be prescribed.

Connecticut Light & Power officials said the utility company has requested thousands of extra workers to assist with power restoration as Hurricane Sandy inches closer to the East Coast.
CL&P officials said 2,000 linemen and more than 700 tree workers have been requested from utility companies from the Midwest, which is far from where Sandy could have a major impact.
This request comes after a firestorm of criticism when hundreds of thousands of Connecticut residents lost power, many for more than a week, after Tropical Storm Irene last August and Winter Storm Alfred last October.
Since the storm, tree trimmers have been working year round to clear branches from power lines. The company has doubled its tree trimming budget this year.
"Trees are the number one cause of outages by far, and the idea is, trim it away, trim away the possibilities," said CL&P spokesman Mitch Gross.
New legislation requires state utility regulators to establish industry standards for acceptable performance by electric and gas companies in emergencies.
During the storm, tree crews and line workers will be staged at four areas throughout the state to be ready to respond.
There are things that CL&P said are out of their control. For example, all the recent rain has left the ground soft, which could make it easier for a tree to topple.
Following the storm, regulators will review damage and outage estimates and restoration work. They also may establish a program to reimburse residential customers for the loss of food and medications caused by outages longer than 48 hours.

The article itself doesn't use the phrase "conversion rate" or even the word "conversion". Referring to the 21% as the conversion rate happened right in this thread.
I have no trouble believing that 21% of Pinterest users have indeed purchased something that they saw on someone's Pinboard ... but remember that they likely viewed a great many Pinboards and visited a great many sites along the way before finally making that purchase.
The numbers are "wa-a-ay far apart", but the problem I see is not the numbers themselves, but sloppy naming. It's just not accurate, IMHO, to call that 21% a "conversion rate".

St. Louis man convicted of 1983 rape and murder expecting prison release
Attorneys for a St. Louis man whose 1983 rape and murder convictions were recently thrown out by a Missouri judge say they expect his release from prison on Wednesday.
George Allen Jr. was sentenced to 95 years behind bars in the 1982 death of 31-year-old Mary Bell. A Cole County judge overturned that conviction on Nov. 2 and ordered Allen's release.
Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster is appealing the ruling to the Missouri Western District Court of Appeals.
A hearing is scheduled Wednesday morning in Jefferson City.

The Board Of Directors Of Donegal Group Inc. Recommends That Its Class B Stockholders Reject The Amended Tender Offer Of Gregory Mark Shepard
MARIETTA, Pa., May 2, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Donegal Group Inc. ("DGI") (Nasdaq:DGICA) (Nasdaq:DGICB) reported that it had filed an amendment to Schedule 14D-9 solicitation/recommendation statement with the SEC today. The Amended Schedule 14D-9 reports the unanimous recommendation of DGI's Board that the holders of DGI's Class B Common Stock reject the unsolicited and amended tender offer for 962,636 shares of DGI's Class B Shares at a price of $30 per share in cash by Gregory Mark Shepard. The Amended Offer states it will expire May 20, 2013.
DGI's Board has thoroughly evaluated and assessed the conditions to the Amended Offer that Shepard established, together with the assistance of a report and recommendation submitted to DGI's Board by a special committee of five directors independent of Donegal Mutual Insurance Company and advised by independent legal counsel. Based upon its evaluation and assessment of the conditions to the Amended Offer, including the federal and state regulatory approvals Shepard must obtain before he can legally consummate his offer, DGI's Board unanimously determined that Shepard's Amended Offer is illusory because Shepard will not be able to satisfy certain legal conditions precedent to the Amended Offer before its expiration date or within a reasonable period of time after the expiration date.
Accordingly, the DGI Board recommends that the holders of DGI Class B Shares REJECT the Amended Offer and NOT TENDER their Class B Shares to Shepard for purchase pursuant to the Amended Offer.
DGI has posted in the Investors area of its website at www.donegalgroup.com a letter to its stockholders that provides more information regarding the DGI Board recommendation. Important Information and Where to Find It This communication does not constitute an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell any securities. DGI urges the holders of its Class B common stock to read the solicitation/recommendation statement, as well as any other documents DGI subsequently files with the SEC when such documents become available because they will contain important information. Holders of Class B Shares may obtain, without charge, a copy of the solicitation/recommendation statement and other documents (when available) that DGI files with the SEC at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and DGI's website at www.donegalgroup.com . In addition, DGI's solicitation/recommendation statement and other documents (when available) that DGI files with the SEC may be obtained, without charge, from DGI by writing to DGI's corporate secretary, Sheri O. Smith, at its principal executive offices at 1195 River Road, P.O. Box 302, Marietta, Pennsylvania 17547 or by e-mail to email@example.com. About Donegal Group Inc.

Look out, folks. Bill O'Reilly is about to talk about global warming again on the O'Reilly Factor.
Of course, he's already reached his conclusion that "Nobody can control the climate but God." It's just that he doesn't have any data to back up his anti-science position.
So he has one of his producers on the hunt today, apparently scrambling last minute, looking for "the very best arguments" to support climate change denial. Here's the email DeSmogBlog...
Canada's Prime Minister Now Blames George Bush for Climate Inaction
Canada's Prime Minister Now Blames George Bush for Climate Inaction
Of all the people to jump on the Blame-Bush-Bandwagon, Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper is now claiming that,
... global efforts to fight climate change are likely to go more smoothly once U.S. President George W. Bush leaves office early next year."
Yes, this is the same Prime Minister whose government was viewed as one of the lone instigators (along with the United States) of climate inaction at the last major round of international talks on climate change in Bali, Indonesia.
Mr. Harper is no doubt realizing that being seen as a government in bed with the Bush administration on environmental policy is no way to garner more political support in a country that views the environment as a top issue and the US president less favorably than North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il.
A US national poll out today might also explain Harper's sudden Bush-bashing ways. The CNN poll shows that presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has jumped out ahead of his Republican rival John McCain by 5-points.
Unimaginable change are in the air. Hopefully they will lead to changes in our ever-warming atmosphere.
- Emily Murgatroyd's blog

I find it incredible that Harper would make a comment like this. Idealogically and practically speaking, Bush and Harper are on uncomfortably intimate terms. These two lead governments that have worked hand-in-hand to prevent as much forward momentum on climate change as they possibly could. Bali was an international embarrassment for this. Harper's government has also taken to very strenuous public relations to cover up their inaction (or backpedalling) on many environment "files", climate change among them. Focus the hatred on the Libs, then take credit for anything good that happens seems to be the approach our government currently uses.
But apparently Harper is such as US sycophant that even if they suddenly elect a leader who does not live in a reality bubble, he will follow the US lead on climate change?
Well, it's good news if that is so, but hardly a positive comment about Harper as a leader.
Every vote count for a Minority Government.
"I decided I just had to call because you've printed a picture of the Earth upside down" - Al Gore, Washington Times, 1998
"... global efforts to fight climate change are likely to go more smoothly once U.S. President George W. Bush leaves office early next year."
Prime Minister Harper never said that. You are quoting the Toronto Star author, not Harper.
The only quote in the Star article attributed to harper is,
"I think, if you don't see a change this year, you're certainly going to see a change on that front next year."
That's quite a lot different from what you are claiming he said. You are projecting your own left-wing hatred of George W. Bush on people who don't share your tendencious biases.
This is typical of Desmogblog's (James Hoggan & Associates PR Inc.) mendacious distortions.
Just curious, why would there be a change next year, the con projecting a change of heart for themselves next year in creating a real plan to reduce emissions?....or a new president, and the expected action since both candidates are pledging to take....so...what are you implying he was meaning if it has nothing to do with who is president?
Here's the lead in the article:
Les Whittington
Ottawa Bureau
OTTAWA–Prime Minister Stephen Harper says global efforts to fight climate change are likely to go more smoothly once U.S. President George W. Bush leaves office early next year.
Seems clear to me.
"your own left-wing hatred of George W. Bush"
Seems 'left wing' now includes an overwhelming majority of little bush's own fellow citizens and would-be subjects, including not a few members of his own party.
Ain't it a b*tch when reality has a decidedly left-wing bias?
Yeah, him and Republican Dana Rohrabacher of California would like Bush not to show up at the 08 Republican Convention at all. This was in July 5th New York Times. Ouuch!
No wonder its so easy for Harper to dis King George the Worst now that George's own party doesn't want him to show up except at 5:00 AM, perhaps, on the Thursday morning before the end of the convention.

Bah humbug.
Apparently over three-quarters of Irish employers won't be paying for a Christmas party for their staff this year. Research from an employment law consultancy published today found that 79 per cent of employers can't or won't pay for you to get plastered and insult your colleagues in a bid to cut costs during the recession. Some 71 per cent say Christmas parties are a waste of company money – I hate to say it, but I'm kinda with the businesses on this score.

From the inside, the A3 looks positively austere compared to the Lexus, even if you opt for the computer interface, not shown here. There's no question. You're in a German car, not a jet fighter.
Performance is where this car really stands out. The Audi A3 TDI isn't just OK to drive, it's a blast! Once the engine gets nicely warmed up -- response is sluggish when the engine is really cold -- all that low-end torque results in a rush of power and really impressive passing performance, especially since this car this so small and light. Steering feel is also nice, if a bit light, making the A3 TDI nearly as much fun to drive as a sports car.
