Addthis Google + alignment issues CSS update

OK so this title could have been much much longer as I should add that this article is for those of you not using the Addthis extension, but instead editing straight into the templates.
It is probably worth saying also that if you are editing straight into templates that you are probably think this is all very basic. Anyway. I had problems getting the Google + share button to align in a row with the other buttons:
Much frustration ensued. Changing the Google + version from 'large' to 'bubble' to 'small' and back again without any luck.
Anyway. The solution lies with adding an inline comment to the theme CSS. So assuming that you have added the relevant Addthis code to your template:
Once you have this in the template of choice. Navigate to:
Then simply add the following to your file:
Clear cache and refresh the page containing the social buttons and you should have a nicely aligned list:
Hope this helps.
301 redirects with Screaming Frog & SEOTools for Excel
- At July 10, 2012

- In Redirects, SEO, Tools

So it's been months, almost a year, a lifetime in blogging and a lifetime in life. Back in the UK for unforeseen reasons for a month or so and working a LOT. Anyway, had to work through a series of 301 redirects a few days ago on a non-CMS driven site and pulled a few tricks which I thought I would share.
Setting the scene
Client has changed a sub-folder name and individual page names, which as a result meant all URLs had changed, which obviously meant any links pointing at these pages will now 404. If it were just the subfolder you could easily add a mass server side rule; but as usual it never works like that… I needed to add 301's to the old pages via IIS7.5 & IT (nightmare) and importantly check the 301's had been implemented correctly.
Primary tools
Really it's only two tools you need, unless you decide to only 301 the files with external links pointing to them in which case you can run a backlink report using OSE or similar, these are:
Screaming Frog
SEO tools for Excel
1. Download pages prior to update
Use ScreamingFrog to extract the files relating to the subfolder you are editing. You can either run the entire site or simply extract that specific folder. Using ScreamingFrog means that you will have a comprehensive list of all pages within subfolder-X, meaning nothing slips through the cracks. It is important to rip the site prior to any changes being made. I have been witness to developers with quick hands that resulted in hours of trawling through the waybackwhen machine, GWT & historical server logs…
You will basically end up with a CSV file which if sorted by address (I find it easier) will list all the pages you need to monitor.
2. Add the new file location
For this project the 301s were added by the in-house IT crowd, which meant that I had to provide a list of current and new URLs. Having mapped out the on-page updates this was just a case of adding a column to the above spreadsheet with the new URLs.
3. Wait for IT to make the updates
I put the kettle on at this point.
4. Check the 301s were implemented correctly
Now I know you can run header checkers and trawl through GWT but for being able to instantly check any number page's server status; SEOTools for Excel really is AMAZING. If you don't currently have SEOTools installed then I really cannot stress how quickly you should install it.
NB: Remember to actually extract the installer etc from the .zip prior to running/installing or like me you won't get very far.
SEOTools for Excel has been around for a while now but essentially is a large suite of invaluable SEO tools accessed via your Excel ad-ins panel:
Insert a column (I named it 'status') next to the URLs you want to check (obviously you can use any column but I like them being next to each other).
Open the 'Onpage' tab of SEOTools for Excel and select 'HttpStatus', ensuring that you have the cell into which you want the server response to be added selected:
Select the cell with the URL which you want to test the server status of and hit OK/return/88mph:
The formula should return you a server response code:
You can then copy the formatting down through the rest of the URLs you want to check which will highlight how well or badly IT have added the redirects and dictate how urgently you need to make the necessary phone calls/emails:
I know it's not cutting edge and you could use Screaming Frog for it all if you need but in my opinion the combination with SEOTools for Excel made the process much more immediate, visual and ultimately successful.

The magic of Google Adwords impression share data
- At August 25, 2011
- By Nick Williams
- In PPC
- 1
I know for a lot of you will be reading this thinking "sooo 2009″ and you would be right, impression share data has been available for a long time. However, for those of you reading this that aren't familiar with 'impression share' within Adwords you might walk away from here with a few new analytical angles of attack under your belt.
Let me set the scene. For most Adwords advertisers the thought of your ad showing for 100% of searches makes credit cards hide in dark places and the accounts team take a long lunch. For most of us it is just too expensive, but impression share information will allow you to know for what percentage of searches your ads were served.
Reasons this knowledge is awesome
Firstly this info allows you to know exactly how much room you have for increases in spending. If you have strict ad scheduling you can easily determine via CTR and hopefully some sort of ecommerce/defined goal tracking a definitive ROI. If you flip this PPC train into reverse; impression share information could also encourage you to create a new campaign or ad group. As if your current campaign is running at say 97% impression share, there is very little point in throwing more cash at it (unless your goal is world domination) – in which case you should do some maths to work out what you need to make up the 3%…
Secondly, impression share data can give you accurate search volume figures! In a world where an accurate search volume is as seemingly hard to find as water on Cybertron; using impression figures combined with impression share will provide you with as accurate number as you will get outside of Google HQ.
Limitations of impression share
Right now I can hear hundreds (or probably 5 taking an average of analytics figures…) of you running off to your PPC accounts and trying to set impression share on every keyword across every ad group you can. The problem is unfortunately you can't. Impression share is only available at a campaign level, meaning you will have to be creative with your application. How do I get individual keyword volume data then? The answer comes in two parts:
1. Use the Adwords keyword tool volumes compared to your impression numbers.
2. Create a new campaign specifically for each keyword/ad group
Neither of these options are ideal or IMHO relating to option 1. accurate , but they like all tips and ideas give you another method with which to attack your data.
How to track impression share data
Head to the campaigns tab >> once selected click on the columns button >> then click on the 'customize columns' button >> check the 'impression share' box within the 'competitive metrics' column >> hit 'save'. You are now ready to spend a lot of time looking at impression figures and concocting world dominating PPC schemes.

Sorry that this blog post isn't anything more than a massive exhalation after the last couple of mad months. London is calling from a faraway place as I am now fully settled in Houston Texas, whilst a collection of increasingly random belongings float their way across the Atlantic… Once they arrive we can get our excited behinds over to Austin. I honestly can't wait.
All I can say about my freelance work is casino jameshallison that it has taken off, then more freelance creatures have joined it and they have taken off as well. If I didn't randomly bump into family members and occasionally leave the house for food I could be still in London. No complaints, I am LOVING the clients and the work.
Well. I made it through visas, renting out flats, transporting belongings and starting a business. Not too bad I recon.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Less than two weeks after saying Kanawha County should consider a year-round calendar at a new elementary school, school board member Bill Raglin said he wonders if the policy is working at all.
In a year-round or "balanced" calendar, the traditional summer break is replaced by shorter breaks throughout the year.
Raglin said during a special meeting Monday that the county instituted the year-round calendar for two reasons: teachers would need to spend as much time reviewing material students had learned the year before, and the intersessions would offer a chance for additional tutoring.
The county's two year-round schools - Piedmont and Mary C. Snow West Side elementaries - have struggled to achieve proficient scores
on standardized tests, Raglin said.
Struggling students are not required to attend classes during an intercession, and that caused Raglin to question the system.
"If (students) don't use the intersession, then I begin to wonder, 'Is it worth even having a year-round school?' " he said.
Principals from both of the year-round schools and Superintendent Ron Duerring said there is no way to force any child to attend school beyond the required 180 days.
But Piedmont Principal Steve Knighton told Raglin during the meeting, "I was kind of shocked you would even consider going back . . ."
After the meeting Knighton said he thought Raglin "chose words that he didn't mean." He said 33 students, or about 15 percent of his school enrollment, attended academic sessions during the recent break between terms.
Many factors, including high poverty rates at both schools, affect academic success, Knighton said.
Mary C. Snow Principal Mellow Lee said there is a connection between poor performance and high truancy rates.
"Just like it's hard to get students to come to school on a daily basis . . . it's definitely hard to get them to school when they don't have to be there," Lee said.
While Knighton said the year-round calendar cuts down on those problems, he and Lee think encouraging local courts to incorporate truancy policies with intersession attendance could help.
By law, a parent must meet with school officials if his or her child has missed five days. Missing more days could lead to appearances in court or jail time.
If truancy courts could "leverage" attending the intersessions as part of the punishment for missing school, Knighton said it could be an "easy remedy" for low attendance during the breaks.
Duerring said he has spoken with Kanawha County Circuit Judge Duke Bloom in the past about truancy issues and could continue to do so.
Lee admitted her school did not offer intersession programming last year. However, she found the cost of running the program didn't make sense: two years ago at Chandler Elementary School, she would pay several teachers to be at school all week and only five or six students would attend.

PINCKNEYVILLE, Ill. (AP) � A trial is scheduled for this summer for a man charged in connection with the 2010 killing of a 15-year-old southern Illinois girl.
The (Carbondale) Southern Illinoisan reports that Chad Bennett's trial will be Aug. 5 in Perry County.
Bennett was charged in October with first-degree murder, home invasion and burglary in the death of Sidnee Stephens, who authorities say was shot and strangled before her body was found in a creek.
Three other people who carried out the killing are serving prison terms ranging from 37 to 60 years.
Bennett has pleaded not guilty.
A judge has said that while Bennett and a co-defendant may not have actually committed the crimes themselves, they were involved in planning or took part in the Pinckneyville girl's death.

Engine System Failure!!
Posted 02 November 2012 - 03:19 PM
Iv got a 57 plate focus mk2 1.6 tdci (110) climate.
I bought the car 3 weeks ago. It's in mint condition and has been serviced every 10000 miles. It's done 100000 miles.
I was driving home from work yesterday and about 5 minutes after leaving the car beeped and the little red led and engine light came on with the message engine system failure:( the car went into limp mode and hasn't got any power.
The car seems fine! No smoke, juddering or anything else apart from that warning and limp mode.
Any ideas what this could be?

Can this be done by an independ garage?A DPF replacement from Ford will cost you a lot of money there are lots of threads on here about the DPF
Posted 03 November 2012 - 11:27 PM
Does your oil level raise? If there is a problem within the particulates filter - it definelty will. The first thing to do is to go to someone who has IDS (the original diagnostics software) and ask him to check the differential pressure sensors. If they're ok, ask him to run the manual DPF cleaning procedure. This may help a bit. There is one more solution to try before DPF replacement - remove it from the car and wash its internals VERY well with pressure washer (a real one with very high pressure and steam, not just hot water) and degreaser.
And the last solution is to remove it completely and remap the ECU not to seek for differential pressure
Cheers from Ford Club Bulgaria
Posted 04 November 2012 - 12:11 PM
you will still get problems is you remap the DPF out and still leave the DPF fitted. you will have to remove the DPF and map it at the same time, carnt do one before the other
Posted 05 November 2012 - 12:01 PM
Ford have said to have the DPF replaced will cost in the region of £1000!! A regeneration will not work.
I have found a place close to me that removed them and re mapps the engine for around £300.
It seems like a no brainier but will I be prosecuted if I have it removed? Is it likely to cause it to fail the mot

Old Testament Miniatures with Latin, Persian, and Judeo-Persian inscriptions France, Paris, 1240sScholars believe that the Picture Bible was commissioned by Louis IX of France, the Capetian monarch who built the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris to house the crown of thorns before leaving for the first of his two crusades in 1248. The Bible later passed to the cardinal of Cracow, who then offered it as a diplomatic gift to the great Persian Muslim shah 'Abbas in the early seventeenth century. The manuscript eventually fell into the hands of Jewish owners, probably during the eighteenth century. These various owners left Latin, Persian, and Judeo-Persian inscriptions around the images. With these inscriptions, the keepers of the manuscript used their languages to assert their ownership of the book, appropriating its narrative contents and assimilating it into their own cultures. The Latin captions are the earliest. They can be labeled as "early fourteenth-century," and were possibly made by a scribe trained in Bologna. The Persian captions come next. They were added in 1608 or shortly after, when the manuscript was presented to Shah Abbas in Isfahan. The Judeo-Persians are last, and according to the translator, they were probably made in 1722 or shortly after, as that year Isfahan was sacked by the Afghans. She supposes that at that time the book was looted by an Afghan soldier and was possibly exchanged with an Iranian Jew. The Picture Bible is illustrated with saturated colors and exquisite detail. In order to make its lessons relevant to readers, the creators of this Bible set Old Testament stories in contemporaneous environments. For example, depictions of architecture evoke the castles and houses of thirteenth-century French towns and battle scenes are illustrated with thirteenth-century armor, weapons, and battle insignia.
MS M.638 (fol. 3r)Noah in His Cups Noah, now a farmer, tills the earth and plants a vineyard. Later, his sons find their father drunken from too much wine and are ashamed of his nakedness. Ham stands behind his father, mocking, while his brother Shem, eyes averted, covers Noah with the end of his cloak. (Genesis 9:20–23) A Monumental Misunderstanding People of Babel plan to build an enormous city and a tower that will reach to heaven. The Lord is angered by their pride and confuses the speech of men so as to interrupt their plans. The project is abandoned, and the builders scatter to all regions of the earth. The miniature provides an excellent example of the medieval building process. Note the pulley system, driven by a man inside a wooden wheel that functions much like a treadmill. (Genesis 11:3–4) The Greatest of Tests The Lord has decided to test Abraham by ordering him to sacrifice his only son, Isaac. Before Abraham can carry out this order, an angel of the Lord catches the tip of his sword and instructs him to offer a ram in the boy's place. Isaac appears twice in this illustration in a gold tunic, carrying firewood for his own sacrifice and again on the altar. (Genesis 22:9–13) Lot Taken Captive The family of Abraham's nephew, Lot, become unfortunate captives in a war between enemy kings. Lot, his wife, and five soldiers are led away by the victors.

At the end of April 2009, the state superintendent of public instruction and a team from the Wyoming Department of Education (WDE) met with the Joint Business Council of the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Tribes to develop the Wyoming Tribal Children's Triad initiative. The purpose of the Triad is to build partnerships between school districts, community programs and governments. The partnerships focus on overcoming challenges and developing community based solutions to dilemmas facing Native American students in Wyoming. The first goals of the Triad initiative were improving daily school attendance, ensuring 100% of Native American school aged children were enrolled in school and enhance citizenship/decrease discipline of students in school.
read more...
Throughout May and June of 2009, informational meetings and listening sessions were held to discuss the previously identified goals with the community and community agencies across the Reservation. After reviewing the community feedback, it was decided that the initial focus would be the attendance and enrollment goals. An interest was also expressed in having a Native American education conference in Wyoming. Approximately 30 community agencies, education representatives and government related partners were identified and ask to participate.
Wyoming Tribal Children's Triad Accomplishments to date:
The Triad partners are continuing to meet on a bimonthly basis to collect data related to our goals, implement and fine tune strategic plans and work together as a community to prevail over any barriers for Native American students to being successful in education. In 2012 we are planning for the Third Annual Native American Education Conference. The Triad partners are also beginning a focus on the enhance citizenship/decrease discipline goal by initiating an anti-bullying campaign. Additionally we will continue to keep lines of communication between the Wyoming Department of Education and the Joint Business Council open to promote good working relationships.

Two great Rockler.com reviews last week on Rockler's Dust Right™ Dust Collection System! The first is from Gerald Sprouse of Paso Robles, CA, who says:
Very pleased with this tool(Dust Right system). I added a 21 foot hose for my table saw and use the 28 foot unit to clean the shop. Since wall space is limited in my shop I built an attachment for my table saw to store the wand and hose. Works great and moves with saw. I move my saw to the center of the shop for most projects. My dust collector has two 4 inch ports and I just open one and close the other to clean the area around the saw.
That's a great idea, and part of the beauty of this system-- you can easily modify the setup to fit your needs.
Tim Kearney of Fort Wayne, IN sent in the next review, which was for the Dust Right™ Expandable Hose:
I chose the expandable hose for its flexibility. I use it on several "mobile" tools in my shop. It stores very easily with the available accessories or home-made adapters. It works just as advertised.
The Dust Right™ easily moves around your shop wherever you need dust collection at the moment.
Best of all, since May is Project Month, you can get 15% off on your entire order, including the Dust Right™ System! It's the perfect time to bring this versatile dust collection system into your shop. It's another great Rockler Innovation!
For more on the Dust Right™ System, see this previous post).

And again, you have taken a neutral thread and turned it into a political debate, and of course, the liberals are completely wrong again.
No liberal is disputing CFA's freedom of speech, but several are saying that based on the ideals of the company, they will not be patrionizing the restaurants. Apparently in your mind liberals are not afforded the same first amendment rights as CFA, and should only protest silently. |

I'll gladly say that I do not eat at Chickfila because of this. If you want to, cool. Don't really want to support or patronize a company with such views. Though, the fact that Zaxby's is a hundred times better helps too. And just an observation, the right wing did the same to Oreo and JC Penny, yet I don't see certain people crying about that.

I thought the issue was the city of Boston denying CFA a license to do business (or making it difficult) based on the the CEO/owner's personal beliefs ... and/or Chicago mimicking the same sentiment, that in itself is discriminatory.
If a group disagrees with an establishments political stance or the way they do business, then boycott it, that's our right as consumers, but blocking access to markets, locations or licensing is over the top and, I believe, illegal. Personally, I don't care if the guy is a homo-phobe or not, it doesn't influence my decision to have a chicken sandwich either way. I try to keep politics out of my food as much as possible, . Here's an interesting perspective on the whole thing: ... not trying to poke at anybody, just sayin' I think it's all much ado over nothing. |

Chick-fil-A not alone in touting religion alongside products Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy is not the only business tycoon who refuses to hide his faith under a bushel top executives from some of Americas biggest companies are born-again Christians who talk about their beliefs more often than their balance sheets. Major corporations like Tyson Foods, Interstate Batteries and Hobby Lobby were either founded or are now led by outspoken and deeply religious bosses. While some of the companies distinguish between their corporate identities and their leaders faith, others embrace it. Norm Miller, chairman of Interstate Batteries, discusses his faith and salvation at length on the companys website, even inviting people to write him for advice on prayer; Tyson Foods, the Arkansas food processing giant, offers chaplains to counsel its employees on life issues like deaths or family emergencies; In-N-Out Burger, the popular California-based hamburger chain, prints John 3:16 on the bottom of its cups; Hobby Lobby, the Oklahoma City-based arts and crafts store chain, cites its commitment to honoring the Lord on its website and closes its 500-plus nationwide locations on Sundays, as does Chick-fil-A. We believe that it is by God's grace and provision that Hobby Lobby has endured, its website reads. He has been faithful in the past, we trust Him for our future. Cathy sparked a national controversy last month when he told the Baptist Press that he was guilty as charged for supporting the biblical definition of a family, leading to widespread criticism from gay rights groups and the mayors of at least three large U.S. cities Chicago, San Francisco and Boston who said the chain was no longer welcome there. It can come across as anti-something rather than pro-something. Its very important to do it positively and inclusively. - Jonah Bloom, chief strategy officer for Kirshenbaum Bond Senecal & Partners Another well-known company, furniture maker Herman Miller which was founded by Christian evangelical D.J. De Pree in 1905 said despite its founders religious background, the firm is not a religious company, a spokesman told FoxNews.com. Although the founding family were deeply devout Christians, at no point in the companys history was their religious faith part of the ethos, spokesman Ron Reeves said. The companys ethos is based on values rather than religion. Requests for comment from Interstate Batteries on what role religion plays in its company were not returned Wednesday, but a personal testimony page on its website clearly spells out the beliefs held by its chairman. Norm Miller is also a believer in Gods power to change lives, because it was that power that turned his own life around after years of drinking as hard as he worked, the website reads. That was the beginning of many changes in his personal and professional life. At the same time, there were some things about Norm Miller that stayed the same. His creative energy never flagged, and his willingness to dream up and try new ideas remained his hallmark. One marketing expert said blurring the line between a companys image and its top bosss religious beliefs can be bad for business. Jonah Bloom, former editor of Ad Age and chief strategy officer for Kirshenbaum Bond Senecal & Partners in New York, told FoxNews.com that while having a purpose such as a social or environmental cause can be a very good thing for a business, evoking religion can backfire. It can come across as anti-something rather than pro-something, Bloom said. Its very important to do it positively and inclusively. With regards to Cathys statement on same-sex marriage, Bloom said it appeared to have been a bad business decision and not the kind of purpose he would have advocated. But other business leaders, including Hobby Lobby CEO and founder David Green, say being outspoken about their religious beliefs is non-negotiable. In 2011, the Green family whose fortune was estimated by Forbes magazine at about $2.5 billion purchased 30,000 rare biblical texts and artifacts that now make up one of the largest private collections of its kind in the world. We believe the Bible has a positive influence and I think that all people should see what it has to say, president Steve Green said. We encourage people to make their choice and follow its principals like we do and strive to do. Read more: Chick-fil-A not alone in touting religion alongside products | Fox News | |

Guess what, professing your faith is just as polarizing. Actual numbers vary, but 12-15% of the U.S. is agnostic or atheist. No poll data could ever show many other consumers are put off by a specific religion, but that is a factor as well. That is a big segment to ignore. I am all for companies declaring their religion, ideal, political leanings, whatever. However, they have to understand that with each statement that strays from the middle, they risk alienating more and more customers. The generation that is in high school and college right now is much more accepting of the gay/lesbian community than previous generations. And that gay population is growing and becoming more mainstream. Businesses and political parties (cough) that don't recognize this will suffer in the long run. |

By Gillian Tan from WSJ's Deal Journal Australia blog.
Macquarie Group's Corporate and Asset Finance division has snapped up a portfolio of 700 German residential mortgages from the Royal Bank of Scotland with a face value of 90 million euros ($121 million).
Macquarie Real Estate Lending won the auction, which was initiated by RBS's non-core division. The Australian bank said the deal represented its first foray into German residential lending, describing it as a compelling sector due to strong borrower covenants, stable regulatory environment and steady property prices.

Phase 1 Safety Study of X-396, an Oral ALK Inhibitor, in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This is the first human study to use X-396, a drug being developed for treatment of advanced cancers. The main purpose of the study is to determine the largest amount of X-396 that can be safely given to humans (the maximum tolerated dose). The study will also provide early information on how the body handles the drug (pharmacokinetics) and on the efficacy of X-396.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Advanced Solid Tumors |
Drug: X-396 |
Phase 1 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Endpoint Classification: Safety Study Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | Phase 1, First-in-Human, Dose-Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of X-396 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors |
- Maximum Tolerated Dose [ Time Frame: 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]To evaluate the safety/tolerability of X-396 and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of X-396 as a single agent.
- Plasma Concentrations (Cmax, Tmax, AUC, half-life) [ Time Frame: 18 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To characterize the preliminary pharmacokinetics including Cmax, Tmax, AUC, half-life of X-396 given as a single agent
- Preliminary Tumor Response [ Time Frame: 18 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To explore the preliminary clinical tumor response after treatment with X-396 given as a single agent.
Estimated Enrollment: | 60 |
Study Start Date: | June 2012 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | December 2014 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | December 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Experimental: X-396
Dose escalation starting at 25 mg, oral once or twice a day, 28 day cycle. Number of Cycles: until progression or unacceptable toxicity develops
Drug: X-396
Oral, ALK inhibitor
Detailed Description:
This is the first study of X-396 in humans and the investigational drug will be given as a once or twice daily oral dose in 28 day cycles until there is disease progression or unacceptable safety issues. X-396 will be given to small groups of patients (1 - 6) at each dose level and the patients will be observed to see if there are any adverse safety effects. As long as there are no unacceptable safety issues after 28 days, the dose of X-396 will be increased for the next group of patients. This process will continue until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of X-396 is reached. Once the MTD is reached, up to 25 additional patients will also be given X-396 to further determine the activity of X-396 in patients with and without certain tumor biomarkers.

Entreprenuership Course... Well, I had suggested to my group with the idea of Bus Stopper in this course. Then, we had used the idea and presented it in front of the co-op of my year and a few judges. I will say that we were lucky to win a consolation prize of $30 despite of our bad presentation, compared with other groups. Hmm...I'm glad to say that I am not that bad after all...right? By the way, some other groups were really fanstastic with products like Shield-Dees & Aqualungs...it's Wow Wow programme in the end.

The Truth, It has been spoken; and so the discussion of this shall begin
I am a STH for in Charlotte and from time to time make a hawks game when i am in atlanta for work or fun.
I have started traveling to dallas a bit for work so decided to take in a mavs game last night. It was interesting to see what a difference in atmosphere, etc they have vs us.
1) The arena was rocking for a Tuesday night game against the trailblazers. It was over 80% full and out of that 80% it seemed at least 70% of them were actually into the game, knowledgeable of it and gave a sh!t
2) The presentation of the game was much more organized, flowed better and engeged the fans
3) The mavs were killed by injuries but still came up and played hard and squeaked out a win
4) Most hurtful was watching tyson chandler clean up, be named player of the games with a double double in points and rebounds and truly got the mavs the win by grabbing boards and getting it into terry's hot hands
It was so much fun i am going back tomorrow night before coming back to Charlotte and heading to the cable box for sat nights game
In Atlanta fans don't care about the teams at all even worse than Charlotte but it was nice to see in Dallas what happens when the owner makes a commitment to putting a winning product on the floor.
Anyway just venting a bit. I am sick of soaking thousands and thousands of dollars into the cats to see sh!t product put on the floor, lackadaisical fans and the team having to gove seats away to get people into the building that actually give a Sh!t. When will the cats learn it takes money to make money. I got a steal on my seats to the mavs game and i still paid 60 bucks. In charlotte for the seats i had in dallas i would be able to get them from a scalper 10 ft from our box office for 10-12 bucks. The seats i have in charlotte for 7 rows behind MJ and i pay 50 bucks a seat, in dallas they are more than twice that. Pluse it is damn near sold out in dallas every night. That is millions of dollars in revenue plus they have more merchandise sales and playoff games. I hold firm that saving 10 million in salary is given up twice over in lost revenue in other areas. Spend some damn money, put a truly winning product on the floor and you will be able to raise ticket prices, have a full house night in and night out, get other streams of revenue flowing and a team we can be proud of.
I am a diehard Bobcats fan but our franchise is still a F'ing joke and that was all validated by my trip to the mavs game. I have laker tickets in LA in two weeks and that will liekly be more depressing
The Truth, It has been spoken; and so the discussion of this shall begin
The problem is obvious; however what in the world could WE do to influence an entire team and "fan-base"? It is very easy to discuss problems, it is hard to find solutions, and it is EVEN HARDER to implement them.
*drools* I wouldn't mind having John Amaechi after me, you know what they say about 6'10" gay black guys that played for a team with sparkles and stars on their uniforms
On Topic, we must now be

I wholeheartedly agree. Bobcats games are underwhelming. I've only been to one game where it actually felt like people gave a damn (Sadly, it was Bucks game near the end of last season). The only other times the crowd is active:
1) When Tyler Hansbrough or J.J. Reddick is playing. (WTF man. Booing role players? Get of the silly ACC mindset)
2) When a superstar named LeBron, Kobe, Wade, is in town. Or the Celtics. And that's because everybody is cheering for the other team.
I don't know what the solution is though.

Harlem Shake Maker 1.4 Review
Still can't get enough of the viral Harlem Shake meme? You can try to make your own with this video-shooting app. You're far more likely to get force close after force close than an actual Harlem Shake video, though. Harlem Shake Maker performs worse than simply shooting a video with your phone's camera app.
The app makes you shoot two separate 15-second clips and then splices them together. After shooting the first clip, Harlem Shake Maker force closes more often than not. The same thing happens after you shoot the second clip, too. Then, when it comes … Read more

Edward Snowden told the Guardian that he leaked details of National Security Agency surveillance because he doesn't "want to live in a world where there's no privacy."
Oddly enough, he also has posted the following tidbits on the Internet: his employer, the type of gun he owns, his photograph - and the fact that he and his girlfriend "have sex marathons from sundown til sunrise."
Snowden used a pseudonym, but it was transparent, given the personal information he disclosed.
In our culture, both digital exhibitionism and digital don't-tread-on-me-ism are on the rise. Privacy law may be about to get more complex than it already is.
The Supreme Court defines Fourth Amendment protections in terms of a "reasonable expectation of privacy."
If you do, say, write or possess something in circumstances suggesting that you expect it to be private, and if society in general would share your expectation, then it's protected. Government can't intrude without a warrant.
It's far from a perfect rule. As Jay Stanley of the American Civil Liberties Union aptly notes, "it bases law and practice on the subject's understanding of law and practice."
But the rule kinda, sorta works - assuming courts update "reasonable expectations" in keeping with cultural and technological change.
Alas, cultural and technological change are moving too fast for the doctrine.
Consensus about propriety - about what "ladies" and "gentlemen" do and don't discuss in public - is long gone. And because of technology, "public" is practically everywhere, all the time.
The Supreme Court wrestled with this problem in U.S. v. Jones, decided a year before Snowden's emergence.
Police stuck a GPS tracking device to the undercarriage of a drug suspect's car to help build a case against him. All nine justices agreed that the police should have gotten a warrant, but only because attaching the GPS tracker amounted to a "physical intrusion" of the car.
On the big question - whether sustained technological surveillance, conducted without physical intrusion, would have violated today's reasonable expectations of privacy - the court produced no majority opinion.
In a concurring opinion, Justice Sonia Sotomayor anticipated Snowden, voicing alarm that individuals' movements might be "recorded and aggregated in a manner that enables the Government to ascertain, more or less at will, their political and religious beliefs, sexual habits, and so on."
So what if you traveled where the government could have tracked you by conventional means? For Sotomayor, that doesn't create a "reasonable expectation" of data mining.

Physics entails learning the rules of nature -- how nature works. Because the rules are comparatively few and relatively simple, you can quickly grasp much of the world about you.
Yet even after years of study you can remain baffled by the complexity of some of the most fundamental notions of the universe.
Physics is the most basic of the natural sciences. Its domain includes the study of the smallest fundamental particles of nature and the largest aggregations of galaxies in the universe, and includes the universe itself, in space and time. It is a study of forces and symmetry and conservation principles.
Regardless of your intended profession, physics support courses will help you will develop an understanding of the natural world and its physical laws that will enhance your problem-solving and critical thinking skills, and deepen your appreciation for the created universe.
Physics courses support other programs of the university, such as mathematics, chemistry, computer science, exercise science and biology. Pre-engineering students should take one to two years of chemistry with physics, in addition to two years of mathematics, following the recommendations of the university from which they intend to complete their engineering program. Students desiring to pursue careers in physics may choose a major in mathematics or chemistry, and transfer in some upper-level physics courses in preparation for graduate study.

Comments about David Tate Women's Dorthy 9" Boot:
I wanted a mid-height boot. It's a simple boot, which was fine with me. If anything, normally a 7N is too wide. But in this case, the boot is extremely short in length and even tight across the top of my foot. I'm not even sure what length I would need, because the fit is so odd. With that said, my heel STILL slips all over the place. I know I'd end up with heel sores.
The foot padding is wonderful. If this boot will fit your foot, you would love that.

Comments about Angel Deluxe Child Costume:
This was a really great costume for the price, and I'm still glad I bought it! My daughter wore it to school and for trick-or-treating. It was cold out that night, so we put a white long-sleeved shirt underneath it, and it still looked just as cute! The only issue I had was that the wings wouldn't stay out. I had to safety pin them. But it was a simple fix!

Robert Forst and Seven S Holy Roller, owned by Terry Stuart Forst, put up a score of 431.5 to win the Ranch Remuda Challenge prelims. (Tara Christiansen photo) To view more photos, scroll down to the slide show below.
For the third year, the Ranch Remuda Challenge provided the perfect platform for cowboys and their American Quarter Horses to prove that they're just as handy in the show pen as they are out on the ranch.
This challenge isn't open to just any ol' passerby: The horses in it must belong to a ranch that meets the criteria of the AQHA-Pfizer Best Remuda Award, and the cowboys piloting them in competition must also work for that ranch. However, the ranch doesn't have to have won the Best Remuda Award.
Taking the lead in the prelims was Robert Forst riding Seven S Holy Roller for his mother, Terry Stuart Forst, with an impressive score of 431.5. Bred and raised by Terry, "Rounder," as the 6-year-old sorrel gelding is called around the barn, is by the Forsts' former stallion, Real Gun, and out of Seven S Babe by Seven S Zanaday.
Ten horse-and-rider teams will compete in Friday's finals; those teams are:

It will be harder for children to skip school beginning today in Tazewell County. A new automated caller system is scheduled to go online this morning in all Tazewell County schools. The system will alert parents when their children don't show up for their first-period class.
It's an added and welcomed safety net for children in Tazewell County. Now, if a child were to skip school, or go missing, parents will be immediately notified. And when a child is missing, every second counts. That's why the new automated system is so important.
"Our emergency notification system we've had in place for several years now — we've used the system to notify parents of emergencies, early dismissals and those kind of things," School Superintendent Dr. Brenda Lawson said last week. "But we have modified our notification system, and this year will be notifying parents if their children are not in their first-period class. It is certainly our goal to keep parents informed. I think it is more of a safety system."
Lawson said the automated system will call either the landline or cell phone number parents provided as their emergency contact. A letter also is being sent home to all parents notifying them of the launch of the new automated system.
When kids are unable to attend school due to a sickness or illness, parents in Tazewell County are normally "pretty good" about calling the school to let the principal know their child will be out for the day, according to Lawson.
However, if parents don't call, and their child doesn't show up for his or her first-period class, a call will now go out to make sure that everyone is OK.
We believe the automated caller system is a good idea. In this day and age, you can't afford to take chances. If a child were to skip school without their parents knowledge, the child is not only being delinquent, but is also putting himself or herself in a dangerous situation.
That's why all parents should be notified — and soon — when their child is not in the classroom.
If a child were to go missing, or be abducted, every second will count when it comes to locating the child, and ensuring that he or she is OK. The automated system provides another safety net for parents, teachers and their children.
We applaud the school system for implementing this all-important notification system.
Keeping kids in school will help to lower truancy rates and ensure that the youngsters achieve an education.
A student with a high school diploma is much more likely to avoid falling into a cycle of poverty and crime later in life. That's why we must strive to keep kids in the classroom.
Even if it means calling their parents when they fail to show up for class.

Wow $400 is a STEAL. Someone got a great deal, Im sure they're happy campers.
03-24-2009, 03:21 PM #6That sucks. I hate getting rid of vehicles, which is probably why my driveway looks like a parking lot. On the bright side, $400 is a good chunk of change to put into another vehicle of yours.
03-24-2009, 03:55 PM #7$400 Holy cow that seems really cheap for that, looking at the picture it looked like it was in really good shape. I know it would have been a pain, but couldn't you have parted that out for more than that? The interior alone you probably could have got $400 for, hell even the wheels and tires had to be worth something. Worst scenario I think you could have taken it to a scrap yard and got more than that, anyways that is definately a sad thing to witness your baby being pulled away.

03-24-2009, 11:00 PM #9All you new guys have no idea how much of a piece that truck was... It was actually the reason I came here in the first place. every panel had a dent, and I Pine-striped the hell out of it offroading before I got my jeep. It had 3.42 gears and was sluggish as hell even with nothing behind it.
Yes I could have scrapped it and gotten more if I went like 9 months ago. Scrap prices went wayyy down, to the point where they will take it off your hands but won't give you a dime.
Yes I could have parted it out, but I'm up at school and having to deal with people coming to get parts or shipping them out would have been a pain. Also I have no time to take it apart. Tires were shot, they were just rollers I already sold the good ones on wheels. Motor was pretty beat intake gasket was just leaking like crazy.
Ct9a my driveway is a parking lot, Now that the burb is gone there are only 8 cars at my house.
I didn't fix it because it had 190k+ miles on it and there's already another one in the driveway.
And the $400 went to my dad because he loaned me money for my jeep tires a while back. I was just happy it went to another chevy ownerDan

Damen Shipyards awarded to build Modular Dock for the Port of Djibouti
Wednesday, 22 February 2012 | 11:00
Damen Shipyards takes great pleasure in the fact that a Damen Modular Dock (DMD) 4020 is being constructed for - and will be delivered to - Djibouti. Djibouti's busy port is one of the most important gateways to the African continent and is strategically located at the confluence of the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. Besides maintenance of the Port Authorities' own fleet, the dock will be used for repair and maintenance of port-calling vessels.
The dock, that measures 50 x 20 m, is to be used for repair and maintenance of the Authorities' fleet, which consists of various supporting vessels such as tugs, shoal busters and pilot vessels. The delivery of the DMD 4020, currently under construction in Dubai, is scheduled for the second half of 2012. After testing in Dubai and delivery of the dock in Djibouti, a Damen Services team will stay on location for two years to give operational and technical support. Damen Services in Gorinchem (The Netherlands) will support the dock operations by supplying parts, equipment and expertise.
Damen Modular Dock 4020
The practical and competitive dock can be built worldwide and can be used in various types of marine circumstances. It can also be outfitted with cranes, accommodation units, roller blocks, workshop units, sandblast curtains and dock mooring systems. In fact, with an ISO 14001 certification, it lives up to the latest standards in environmental care. The design incorporates such features as low emission motors, LED lighting and dedicated systems for waste management and spills avoidance.
The secret lies in the simplicity of the construction, consisting of two wing walls that are coupled to a number of individual pontoons. Marcel Karsijns, Manager Special Projects, says: "Every unit measures 10 metres. You can enlarge the dock to a length of 100 metres whenever you choose. Modules and wing walls are coupled afloat. It's equally simple to unlock the components. You can upkeep and repair these modules in the dock itself, making the dock self-maintaining. In addition, the dock contributes to the uptime and success of our customer's fleet."

The eighth annual Boulevard Rod Run & Doo Wop will draw plenty of car enthusiasts to the Kanawha Boulevard this weekend. But no one is more excited to show off their hot rod than Larry Nicholson of Marietta, Ohio.
Nicholson brought his 1968 Dodge Charger R/T. Unlike many vintage car owners at Charleston's auto show, Nicholson is the original owner of his '68 Dodge. In fact, he still has the original receipt.
In March 1968, Nicholson purchased the vehicle for $4,075.45. Although that is considered cheap today, he says it was a pretty penny in 1968.
"Many people look at this price and are shocked but I tell people that like everything else, prices have risen due to inflation," Nicholson said.
Nicholson ordered the car three months after getting married. He still has the original order form and documentation of the car's first oil change. He changed the oil when the car's odometer hit 2,900 miles.
"Back then, more people would order their cars," Nicholson said. "Today, most people just pick a car out of the car lot and drive home with it."
It has an automatic transmission, a 440-cubic-inch V-8 engine and is stocked from the factory. About 17,000 '68 Dodge Chargers were manufactured.
Nicholson said the car could travel at 150 mph. Although Dodge Chargers in "The Dukes of Hazzard," have achieved that top speed, Nicholson has not attempted to go that fast nor does he plan to, especially considering the car's age.
Nicholson has showed his car in many auto shows across the country, including the Goodguys car shows in Columbus, Ohio, and Charlotte, N.C. He's been to many shows but considers Charleston's his favorite.
"This is a very well-ran show," he said. "I got to hand it to the volunteers who have done an incredible job organizing the event. I enjoy how people will just walk up to me and start sharing their stories about these old cars. There's a lot of history here and it's nice that others share an interest in cars as well."
James Sefton, 85, of Pocatalico, has been a car enthusiast for years and recalls taking his first ride in a Ford Model T with his grandfather. Sefton bought a 1947 Dodge when he was 18. In 1953, Sefton bought a Buick and claims it was the best car he has ever owned.
Sefton enjoys coming to the car show each year.
