Special 5-Year CD and IRA CD Rate at Kaiser Federal Bank in California
Kaiser Federal Bank just started offering a 5-year CD special with a 2.75% APY. Minimum deposit is $10,000, and it's also available in an IRA. This is listed in the bank's CD rate table as of 1/14/2011.
The bank's standard 3-year CD and IRA CD rate is also fairly competitive at 1.75% APY. However, it's down quite a bit from October when the yield was 2.15%.
As compared to the best 5-year CD rates available nationwide as of 1/14/2011, you can get 3.00% APY at Connexus Credit Union (requires active checking) and 2.75% APY at Salem Five Direct.
When I called Kaiser Federal in 2009, I was told that people in any state can open its CDs (checking accounts and IRA CDs are only for CA residents). However, it looks like the CD opening process is much easier if you open a CD at one of the bank's branches. You can do an initial application online or by phone (1-800-524-CASH). However, the CSR said they will still mail you forms to sign that must be returned with copies of your IDs and with your check. Unfortunately, the CD rate doesn't lock until they receive the check. However, the CSR said you can include a note with the check instructing them not to open the CD if the rate has fallen. The CSR also said they don't accept wire transfers to fund CDs. Wire transfers can be used to add to your savings or money market account.
According to the bank's disclosure, the early withdrawal penalty for terms greater than one year is 180 days of interest whether earned or not (may eat into the principal). There's a 7-day grace period when the CD matures.
Branches are located in the California cities of Bellflower, Covina, Fontana, Harbor City, Los Angeles, Panorama City, Pasadena and Santa Clara.
The bank has an overall health score at DepositAccounts.com of 3 out of 5 with a Texas Ratio of 24.99% (above average) based on September 2010 data. Please refer to our financial overview of Kaiser Federal Bank for more details. The bank has been a FDIC member since 1999 (FDIC Certificate # 35448).

Residents watch winter wildfowl at Rickmansworth Aquadrome
9:40am Tuesday 21st January 2014 in News By Kathryn Snowdon, Senior Reporter
Birdwatchers gathered at Rickmansworth Aquadrome to participate in the Winter Wildfowl Watch at the weekend.
A total of 24 people met in the aquadrome on Saturday morning to participate in the event, organised by the county's Countryside Management Service and Three Rivers District Council.
Ciaran Mullan, Hertfordshire County Council's project officer, said: "At this time of year the UK offers more hours of sunshine, milder conditions and more accessible food supplies, free from snow and ice.
"This is an excellent time to see some of these winter visitors before they return in March and April."
The event ran from 10am to midday.
Mr Mullan added: "Each year Bury and Batchworth Lakes and the adjacent Stocker's Lake attract many hundreds of birds in their own right.
"Among the more interesting birds spotted on Saturday were various duck species including goldeneye, shoveller, pochard, some very striking red crested pochard, wigeon and gadwall, as well as great crested grebes and Egyptian geese."
Birdwatchers also saw a redwing, a greater spotted wood pecker, long-tailed tits, a group of foraging siskins and large deceits of lapwing.
Mr Mullan added: "A really lovely day was had by all."

There are several clubs in the NHL that are looking for scoring. The Rangers surely could use more consistency there, and I know trading Gaborik seems insane. Hear me out though.
The Los Angeles Kings are the perfect match for Marian Gaborik. They have plenty of room under the cap to absorb his contract and they have the young talent to send back in such a trade. The Rangers will make the playoffs with or without Gaborik in my opinion, as the Rangers will return Vinny Prospal, Ryan Callahan and Chris Drury will get better as the season moves forward. Does anyone really want to see Mats Zuccarello go back to the Whale?
The Kings have three young players in particular, Brayden Schenn, Thomas Hickey and Colten Teubert that I am really fond of. Is that a good foundation for a trade?
Take a moment to look at the Rangers lines without Gaborik, and a healthy Prospal.
Prospal / Anisimov / Callahan
Dubinsky / Stepan / Zuccarello
Fedotenko / Boyle / Prust
Avery / Drury / Weise
This lineup doesn't even include Wolski. I wonder how healthy Prospal will be this year. I think that you can slot Dubinsky OR Wolski in the top 6 and the Rangers will still be very solid.
I think the Rangers will likely keep Gaborik, but this is something that Sather should consider. Gaborik is streaky, somewhat frail and making 7.5 million for a few years. If the Rangers can dump 3 or 4 good young players to the Whale, and still remain competitive, I say do it.
Does anyone agree that this idea makes a lot of sense? The Rangers have a good system, and this trade could push them near the top in rated prospects. I think If I ran the team, based on the health of Ryan Callahan and Vinny Prospal, I make this trade.

Review Details
Product Review (submitted on December 19, 2013):
You have to use this!
This is the best. It prepares the skin for all the great products you will lavish on your face. I see noticeable difference in how effective and super absorbing the products are when I use this. I don't use it every time I wash my face but I leave a super sized tube in the shower and do use it once a week during a shower. Sensitive skins may have some problems with it though. It does tingle and my face is used to 1% retinol treatments.

The political upheaval and conflict in Kenya could not be better for the Islamist militant group al Shabaab. Its continued attacks have successfully pitted the country's two top politicians against each other in a game of political brinkmanship that could plunge Kenya into a toxic ethnic conflict -- exactly the kind of environment in which a group like al Shabaab can thrive.
East Africa is one of the world's most water-stressed regions. Overexploitation of water resources there has been compounded by declining snowpacks on Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya. In this light, the discovery of two significant aquifers in mostly arid Kenya has been hailed as a potential game changer.
The recent al Shabab attack on a Nairobi mall might have come as a surprise to Western observers, but it should not have. In form and motivation, the attack mirrored several others in the last few years.
An annotated Foreign Affairs syllabus on Kenya.
For the second time in less than six months, polio vaccine workers in Pakistan have come under fire. For the gunmen, killing health care workers has been seen as a legitimate response to a nefarious extension of Western power. And, for the CIA, faux vaccine campaigns have sometimes been justified as part of the war on terror. Both sides are wrong: denying or providing health care should never be an instrument of statecraft.
As Kenyans go to the polls, the race for the presidency between Ralia Odinga, the current prime minister, and Uhuru Kenyatta, the current deputy prime minister who was indicted by the ICC for war crimes, is too close to call. The contest will likely be drawn out and could be violent. Here's how the United States should respond to each possible outcome.
Until recently, experts assumed that al-Shabaab's recruitment in Kenya was limited to the country's Somali minority, which numbers roughly a million people. But recent attacks have forced a reassessment; as ex-members testify, now Kenyans are joining up as well.
By some measures, the ad-hoc alliance among Ethiopia, Kenya, and the African Union has come close to defeating the terrorist group al Shabaab. But a military victory could scatter the group's most radical leaders across the Horn of Africa.
Nairobi sent troops into Somalia last month ostensibly to root out Islamist militants. But the real reason Kenya went to war has more to do with the restless ambitions of its own military, which is eager to abandon the country's largely peaceful history.
The president of Kenya argues that, despite the conflict and famine ravaging Somalia, there is an opportunity for East Africa to escape a regional mess.

*Editor's Note: The post you are about to read is by motrepip
via images.nationalgeographic.com
First, here's a short biography of myself. There's not a whole lot of interesting stuff about me. I figure I'm just your average Joe Chiefs fan. I was born in New Orleans and my dad followed the Saints. I was about 9 or 10 years old when I myself started following football closely. At the time they were also known as the 'Aints. So how did I become a Chiefs fan, you might ask. I guess in part it was me wanting to forge my own path as an individual. The Saints were horrible and had been for sometime, with no real promise or hope of getting better. Again, I was young, and didn't have much information to go on to pick my own team. I do remember my dad telling me something like, "A true fan sticks with his team no matter what, through thick and thin, good times and bad." Well hmmm… my favorite color was, and still is, red. And, I had heard that Joe Montana was going to be a Chief. With this little bit of information, and remembering seeing him play great for the 49ers, I decided that the Chiefs were going to be my team. I already knew that Joe was going to retire sooner then later, but seeing those bright, beautifully colored jerseys in the sunlight made me fall in love. I was going to heed my dad's advice and stick with the Chiefs. This was going to be my team.
And now, the meat and potatoes of this post. It's more or less a shout out to all those who make this site so great.
First and foremost, thank you Chris and Joel for making Arrowhead Pride such a great place to read up on my Chiefs. Before I found AP, I pretty much just blindly followed the Chiefs. I've never been to K.C. nor had any place to read up on the Chiefs until I looked and found this place. Now, I'm so much more of an informed fan. I'll usually end up checking AP 5 to 8 times a day on my phone to read stories and news about the Chiefs.
Thank you to NJ Chiefs Fan for Arrowheadlines. What a great way to wake up in the morning and get up to date with all the Chiefs news. It's amazing to me how you find all these tidbits every morning. Awesome job man
and I appreciate it.
Thank you, Upamtn. You helped me to write and edit this, my first post since the makeover of AP (they stole my virginity, man). You do a good gob of helping to keep AP a clean site by moving some of those short fanpost over to the fanshots section. Also, you have helped me before on learning how to post pictures and gifs. This brings me to …
Thank you, LadyChief. When I see your "random gifs" it always makes me laugh. I am mostly just an occasional commenter, but I'd like to join in with you on those. I know this is kind of your thing and if it's okay with you, I'd love to pitch in with a few sporadic gifs myself. Gifs are awesome.
Thank you Carolina Chief for letting my wife and I meet up with you earlier this year to watch the Saints-Chiefs game. We're going to have to do that again soon. There are so very few of us Chiefs fans here in Charlotte and until I met you, I was the only Chiefs fan I knew.
Thank you to Aiken Drum and HIV Elway. Not everyone agrees with you on yall's opinions, including myself sometimes, but I appreciate that someone has the guts to say… what need to be said.
Thank you to Clay Wendler for all the awesome videos that you and Red Tribe Cinema make. Also, thank you for the Gif'd Up series. It's a great tool for breaking down the plays, and learning about the plays inside the plays.
Thank you to all the others that regularly post here. Steve Chiefs, KC Satchmo, Saints_Chiefsfan1979, Hmills110 (slow thread, great idea), Special K, Lanier63, shotty, Sudden, Chief-blinders-on, citadelchief, NigerianNightmare, 58 was my friend, wustl_chiefs_fan, MNchiefsfan(Sometimes your posts have little to do with the Chiefs, but
still great reads. I love history.), TSR Chief, mas cervesas, Matt Verderame. The list of great writers on this site goes on and on, too many to list. Thank you all!
Random thank yous:
*Thank you to all those in my AP fantasy football league. It was a tuff year for me but, it was a lot of fun.
*Thank you newbs. I've learned the easy way from your mistakes.
*Thank you guy who commented to me, "flagged for dumb". It's whatever. I'll admit, not all of my ideas are great.
*Thank you to all those who argue against my comments. It's good to have differing opinions to my own ideas. It gives me better perspective. Sometimes, it even changes my own opinion of a particular matter.
*Thank you for all the Rec's I've gotten in the past. It's nice to have reassurances of my thoughts.
*Finally, thank you for reading my post. I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Thanksgiving. Go Chiefs!
Finally, a Thanksgivng poll follows below ...

Hundreds of runners took to the path outside of Monclova Elementary School, raising money to fight childhood hunger.
Anthony Wayne and Penta high School students involved in the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America organized the 5K run and walk.
Student Coordinator Halie Smith said, "We got a fantastic response. Everyone was coming up to me and saying the race was very well organized, and right now we have raised almost $3500 and that number keeps going up every time I go in there's more money in the box."
Donations of money and non-perishable food items were accepted.
The money raised goes to the national No Kid Hungry campaign. The food is headed to the Toledo Seagate Food Bank.
Teacher Teresa Nissen is proud of her students. "Above and beyond my expectations. It was awesome to be a part and just watch them work together and pull off an absolutely wonderful event."
Local sponsors of the race included Promedica/St. Luke's Hospital, Dave's Running and the Toledo Roadrunners.
New software will allow radar to scan storms near ground every 2 minutes instead of 4.

Missing teenager turned down for asylum in UK
The family of Nida Ul-Naseer, who went missing revealed today that their attempt to seek asylum in the UK from Pakistan was turned down a year ago.
It meant that academically-gifted Nida opted to retake a business studies course she had already passed.
Her sister, Shamyla, 23, told a press conference today that she believed Nida's disappearance stemmed from being upset because she could not attend university.
"I think that not being able to go to university is the reason for her leaving," she said, speaking alongside other family members at Newport Central police station.

No, we're not supposed to have nudity on our site. So enjoy this list while you can, we have a feeling it's not going to stay up forever. And though we're not exactly proud to be pandering like this, we are happy to say that, as is so often the case, someone else's mistakes have become a focal point for our amusement. So here, to our mutual shame, are Adult Swim's 10 best (and only) topless moments as of 4/1/10.
L.A. Rock and Roll Montage
Nothing goes better with bare breasts than rock and roll. Or sometimes hip-hop. All we're saying is that it's hard to imagine a "Gentleman's Club" playing country or classical. Gentlemen fear change.
Grace Ryan as an Asian
With all of the pixilated manhood the Frisky Dingo audience had to endure, it seems the makers of the show tried to even the score with some well-hidden, non-pixilated womanhood.
Cosmic Spores Represent Aids
Maybe they thought it didn't count because it was green. But it counts. Oh, it counts indeed.
Debbie Does Wild
Debbie topless. Perhaps the holy grail of Adult Swim nudity? When this show originally delivered there was an error on two shots where the items covering Debbie's breasts were rendered on a layer behind them. (Nerdy After Effects layering-speak). Anyway, it was fixed for air but somehow when this clip was converted for the web, the corrupted file was used, exposing Debbie's jiggling, lovingly drawn breathing apparatus.

Legendary guitarist Geordie Walker, performs with Killing Joke at Roskilde Festival. Geordies' guitar playing has been a huge influence on many bands from Nirvana to Metallica, while earning him high praise from epic guitar legend, Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin.It was a true honour and thrill to have the sole opportunity to photograph Geordie both onstage and off. This is part one from a series taken during the concert. A short series of studio shots will follow this concert series.Thanks for your comments and interest in my work :-)

What our Citizens are saying about this great gift of the leaf...
|Very Smooth
|July 23, 2014
|Enjoyed this tea when I received a ssmple awhile back and finally ordered it. I just love the flavor and smooth taste. Being caffeen free is a plus for me . Great Tea will order again thank you for such great teas!!
|New favorite!
|June 02, 2014
|This rooibos girl adores her vanilla, but was nervous to try it crossed with pomegranate. Finally did. It's a hit! I will be keeping this one in my stock. Great hot. Think I'll try it iced...
|My favorite tea
|May 10, 2014
|This is my favorite tea. I love how The Republic of Tea shares all the ingredients. I stay away from stevia, although I have to admit I have not tried teas with stevia from this company so I do not know how that compares with adding stevia versus bits of stevia in the tea bag itself. This is such a delightful tea!
|Delightfully Refreshing
|April 30, 2014
|This is a lovely tea --both for sipping and for adding flavor to my oatmeal. Most definitely one of my favorites!
|A Nice Fruity Rooibos
|February 23, 2014
|I like Rooibos in general, but the addition of vanilla plus a fruity flavor really works. A really nice, mellow blend that does't require additional sweetening.

Lincoln Related: Marriage Issues | Quotes | Children | Marriage Profile
Abraham Lincoln's relationship with Ann Rutledge is still being researched. Their relationship is considered by some historians to be a legend while other historians consider it to be fact. Abe's relationship with Mary Owens can be more easily verified by his letters to her.
Abraham was reportedly engaged twice before his engagement and marriage to Mary Todd.
- Ann Rutledge: Born on January 7, 1813 near Henderson, Kentucky. Although Ann was apparently engaged to John McNamar, she is believed by some historians to have been Abraham's first love. She died at age 22 on August 25, 1835, probably from typhoid. The Lincoln-Rutledge Legend
"Ann Rutledge was, to our knowledge, Lincoln's first and perhaps most passionate love."
Source: Doris Kearns Goodwin. Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln. page 55.
- Mary S. Owens: Born in 1808. Abraham Lincoln and Mary Owens met in 1833 in New Salem, Illinois while she was visiting her sister. In 1837, Abraham proposed to Mary Owens. However, after being aware that Mary had gained weight, he sent another letter and the 28 year old Mary turned him down. No wonder considering what he wrote to her:
"This thing of living in Springfield is rather a dull business after all. I am afraid you would not be satisfied. There is a great deal of flourishing about in carriages here, which it would be your doom to see without shareing in it. You would have to be poor without the means of hiding your poverty. Do you believe you could bear that patiently?...What I have said I will most positively abide by, provided you wish it. My opinion is that you had better not do it. You have not been accustomed to hardship, and it may be more severe than you now immagine."
Source: Doris Kearns Goodwin. Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln. page 94.
Mary died in 1877.

If you came here looking for THE Wiccan Calendar, I do really have only one to show you: the Witches' Calendar by Llewellyn. It has pagan history, phases of the moon, seasonal essays on egg lore for instance around Easter. It is in fact packed as full of information as a calendar can get. It comes as a planner and a wall calendar (so that does make 2). Also check out the Witches' Companion information, featured below.
The Llewellyn's Witches' Datebook Softcover Engagement Calendar is now available and completely new for each year with an introduction to 13 magical stones by Elizabeth Barrette.
You will also discover fun, fresh ways to celebrate the sacred seasons while enhancing your practice with Ellen Dugan's inspiring Sabbat musings and Moon rituals from Ember Grant. You will love the tasty Sabbat recipes by Susan Pesznecker. Astrological information and daily colors plus in-depth articles on good energy by Tess Whitehurst, cauldron magic by James Kambos and rainy day magic by Melanie Marquis are also included. If you click on the link above the datebook and wall calendar are both shown for the current year.
Llewellyn's Witches Companion Book is the ideal Companion to the Witches' Calendar and Datebook, this guide will keep you completely up to date with the latest Witchy trends, Craft practices, Pagan issues and ideas for green living.
Each year's edition is filled with articles from innovative thinkers, authors, and experts keeping you abreast of timely topics covering hot debates in the Wiccan/Pagan community.
Shown right is one of the inside pages of a previous year's Llewellyn's Witches' Wall Calendar. It is exemplary for the amount of information this calendar contains. And the planner contains nothing less.
What many love about the engagement calendar is that it is more than an appointment book and calendar, the multipurpose datebook allows you to seamlessly blend the magical and the mundane, while keeping pace with the turning Wheel of the Year. New this year are thirteen seasonal spells by Deborah Blake.
Llewellyn's Witches' Calendar is the top-selling calendar of its kind. Get inspired by unique and provocative in-depth articles. Take advantage of astrological data and other practical information to plan rituals. It's amazing what amount of information and inspiration they manage to include in a simple wall calendar.
Of course it includes the pagan holidays and astrological information, but it's also simply a fun calendar to have at your house to learn more about Wicca.
Llewellyn also sells pagan planners and almanacs, almost as popular as the witches calendar… Do check them out too.

The Winter Driving Law You May Be Breaking
There's a law you may not know about that you could be breaking this winter. In Minnesota, drivers are required to clear their car windows of snow before driving. Scraping may seem pretty standard, but a lot of people aren't doing it. Officers say that's caused a string of accidents.
Minn. May Lead US In 2013 Natural Disaster Claims
Move over, Florida. New numbers show that Minnesota could finish first when it comes to disaster insurance claims. Last year, Minnesota generated nearly $800 million in claims, and that's only through the third quarter. If you're wondering why your premium is going through the roof, you can blame what's falling on your roof. Hail from storms on Aug. 6 damaged roofs, windows and siding all over the south metro.
Police: Rocks Smash Windows Of 3 Passing Cars In St. Louis Park
Police are searching for those responsible after large rocks were thrown into at least three cars driving along Excelsior Boulevard in St. Louis Park on Tuesday night. Authorities said the rocks smashed through car windows around 10 p.m. between Louisiana Avenue and Blake Road, but no one was hurt.
Police To Stillwater Residents: Lock Doors, Windows To Deter Burglars

Shifting Soil: Sediment Management Policies in LA
According to sciencedaily.com, sediment is "any particulate matter that can be transported by fluid flow and which eventually is deposited as a layer of solid particles on the bed or bottom of a body of water or other liquid." To many in southern California, however, it means so much more. Sediment makes up our beaches, creates habitat, forms our rivers and blocks our dams. How we manage it speaks volumes to our ability to interact with and benefit from our natural environment.
We invite you to join the Council for Watershed Health at Descanso Gardens on Tuesday, September 20, 2011 from 12 to 4 pm as we discuss the important role sediment plays in our watershed. "Shifting Soil: Sediment Management Policies in LA" will provide you with an opportunity to learn about and discuss the challenge of sediment management unique to the local geography and the channelized Los Angeles River system. The symposia is an opportunity to participate in a forum with local public agencies to learn about management plans in other regions.

Pretty old topic, but thought I would add. You have to be careful with AggregateRating markup. They state in the guidelines, if the page doesn't have actual reviews on it, you can't use it.
Working my way through how to best pull 3rd party review data into the site, and display their ratings of a local business, while staying in "compliance".
I have a question about your "page-strength" example. You say this:
"Another potential insight from this data is that /page-strength/, a URL used for posting data for a Moz tool, is being crawled nearly 1,000 times. These crawls are most likely triggered from external links pointing to the results of the Moz tool. The recommendation would be to exclude this directory using robots.txt."
So you are asking Google not to crawl those sites anymore. If you have links pointing to that section of the site, wouldn't this devalue them?
I love this topic. I wrote a post about how I was testing schema.org on a site with little to no links. Checking in WMT, there was virtually ZERO traffic or impressions (same with GA). Within 24 of WMT discovering the semantic markup, the site went from 0 impressions to 10K in a week.
Just my simple observation from one test.
Yes it's a mobile app for now. But should we assume it will always remain a mobile app, and there won't be a chrome plugin to give the user that same magazine style?
That was the goal; give the reader the correct UX. Without going on a rant that would require an entire blog post, it should be noted that
I wouldn't be surprised if the publisher link that is shown on searchengineland.com as of today trickles down to more sites over time. They didn't discontinue reader and just say "F-IT". Is there a correlation with the style Currents presents content and success? I would love to know. One thing I do know, is anyone who publishes will have a better chance as long as they become a "Currents Publisher". I will always lean towards (and you should too) the direct "ping" to Google.
Is Google Currents not considered a viable RSS reader option? I have been using it on my tablet & phone and I absolutely love it. I noticed even on searchengineland.com they have the new "Google Publisher" with their other social icons. Instead of asking you to add their feed into Google Reader, it asks if you want to add it to your Currents.
Ah, excellent to hear. I will be watching for it. Thank you for the tip on fontsquirrel.com, and yes, I did start searching last night for ideas on pairing fonts together. I have abandoned my search on Google WebFonts, wasn't too happy with their selection. :)
Great post. I am starting to dig into some of these techniques right now. Being mostly technical, I don't have the greatest eye for design. While I can hack something together, I leave the details to real designers.
That being said, do you have any preferences or suggestions on some of the best looking web fonts to use? For headlines vs sub-headlines vs regular page copy text. Preferably using Google fonts, as I want to do a proof of concept using free stuff.
I just came back to look through your excel templates, but drop box isn't working. Woe is me. :)
My mistake. I just tried it on another network, seems to be working ok.
The site that is ranking on page one for PDLs is really something about NeuroFeedback. BUT, if you click on the SERP result, it redirects to an affiliate PDL website. The rest of the results (top 7 at least) are EMDs with a backlink profile from forums and Russian websites. I would love to see some Dr. Pete research into this niche. Why does this stuff still work? It is not directly affecting me, but these tricks are things that didn't work for many years, but all of a sudden produce results.
Dr. Pete,
Do you track any payday loan keywords for MozCast? I use them a lot to look at algo changes by Google. I watched all weekend and checked this morning too when they said they made an update for EMDs. Page 1 for "payday loans" Is still covered by exact match domains with your typical spammy site design & garbage link profile. In fact, one of the sites that ranks is cloaking. Not even a PDL site unless you load the site with GoogleBot as your user agent.
Interesting approach and execution. I haven't been able to run it end to end yet as one page keeps timing out (even though max execution time is 120 seconds). When I load the page manually, it loads fine. Not sure what the deal is with that. I am going to put a 1-off clause that if that domain pops up again it ignores it and continues along. try/catch doesn't work, but that's intention in PHP.
<edit> 1-off clause for a specific domain that never resolves isn't a permanent solution, but isn't even working in my test. There are too many links that never resolve. I will dig deeper and see if I can find a cURL option to handle this.
Enjoyed this one. At least I can control this as went made quite a bit of changes already to try and avoid an over-optimized penalty, whereas with the link penalty I am stuck policing the net for Google. I cleaned up a couple hundred links from sites we didn't want links from, nor ask for them. But they just keep coming, and I don't know why. Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but I am still seething about having to clean up a mess I didn't create. Loved the WBF though!
Even Will Reynolds got smacked recently too? That just tells me that Google needs to turn the dial down a bit, some of these changes can't be permanent. The SERPs I follow now are LITTERED with hyphenated domain names where the big brands fell to page 4, 5, 6.
I love the idea for this tool. There were a lot of WMT errors of links pointing to pages that don't exist anymore. I fixed that and redirected a bunch, but now I am starting to thinking I picked up some garbage links that were built years ago. One of my sites got a message from Google saying we have an unnatural link profile, but we haven't been doing any real link building to that site. I have been digging since yesterday to find the problem, and this is just another tool to help. Thanks!
How long does a report usually take? I added about 5K links, and it's been around 2hours.
Thanks for finding out the answer! I will explore new ways of keeping up with historical link discovery.
Did you change your internal id's on things like links on this last crawl? Up until this last OSE update, I was comparing links I had previously stored with new ones receive from the API. I would use your lrid property in the API (the internal link id) to see if the link had been previously discovered. That worked until this last crawl. Now all the lrid's are new.
Ooo a day early. I am noticing a drop in things like mozRank & trust for us and our competitors (but DA was up). Not a lot, but your calculated metrics shaved a few percentage points off the scores, while links increased. Was there any real change to how things are calculated or is this just an effect of the change to the crawl? Not that it matters, just curious if you see anything similar.
Also, when I look at the top pages tab in OSE, it shows pages that have been long dead for over a year that we 301'd to its new page. All links point to the new page, is there every any update to that top page list? The site used to be PHP, now it's .NET. Our 5th "top page" is an old PHP page that is redirected to the new live one. That old one shouldn't contain any value anymore and be invisible, right?
Thanks for the update!
As others have stated, it looks as though it will be a few years before we can use this in earnest (Stupid IE9).
Great post. I am in this situation as well, I have been going through and trying to create all the rewrite rules I need and then a final redirect at the end. We have chained ones as well. My problem is that our entire site is secure, and we do a redirect at the load balancer, so in a lot of cases, we will have to do two redirects. Our standard https redirect on the LB, and any rewrite/redirect rules on the web server.
It's worth trying by making the +1 more prominent with search visitors who come in with the (not provided) keyword. Most people have more engagement with FB likes now, but if you make sure the user notices the +1, knowing they are a logged in user on Google, I have seen a decent most of +1's by those people when:
Google+ Engagment = (+1s for page / Total # logged in Google users)
Whenever you get a (not provided) as the referrer, Hit 'em with the +1. With that referrer, you should be confident they have a Google+ account. Use that knowledge to your advantage. Sure, I hate that data is being withheld all of a sudden, and will probably complain about it as well. But in the meantime, use whatever knowledge you have. I am seeing good results with this so far.
Nice unobtrusive, yet noticeable slide in, "Hey if you like us, +1 us baby!"
Wow. It's almost like I should check with you guys first before I begin work on a new tool here. Mine gave me the quick snapshot similary to your summary data tab, but I may just scrap it all together and use this new analysis report. Always impressed with how nimble you guys are. I constantly find myself building things on my own just to get the job done. Working in large companies, sometimes it takes forever to get anything done. Here's another vote for a great tool that saves us time.
I love this topic. I have been dabbling in topic modeling the last few weeks and LDA is exactly the formula I used. Good to see I chose the right direction. There are two situations I use it in. (1) To crawl a list competitor's high priority pages (for me) and extract the interesting words and topics. (2) I group together keywords and find out what pages are ranking for that group, and run those pages through my LDA script, and extract any useful insights.
I am really into 3D modeling lately as well. Right now I have a prototype of a 3D scatter plot that clusters interesting topics together. It's interactive so you can pan & zoom. It's all browser based too, so no flash, no plugins, etc. I am doing this because I write code but my role has switched to SEO in recent years. I hate using Excel. On top of this, our office is filled iwth a nice mix of creative personnel and statistic nuts. Interactive 3D topic modeling should help bridge the gap between those two teams. When I get closer to completion I will probably write a post demonstrating it for the community to use. Not only will it give the user actionable data, but visually pleasing to the average non-SEO.


text: I was reading an article on Jacksonville.com by Michael Wright about how Garrard thinks that Tim Tebow has potential to be a quarterback at the next level and I came across these two videos. We've had enough talk about Tim Tebow and I thought I would try to see if I could post these videos using the new capabilities that SB Nation has provided. Looks like I got it to work. Check out these two videos on game day prep. I liked the one on how the guy paints the Jaguars head in the middle of the field. Great work by the stadium staff!

Town Square
New supervisor to meet constituents -- for a fee
Original post made on Oct 17, 2011

Golly Jeb, you took down my comment. My feelings are hurt.

pay to play. I guess this is a convenient way to control/limit the attendance at this function. This is in lieu of Miley holding a town hall style meeting for fear of exposing his lack of understanding of the area and his new constituants. Good start, nate
on Oct 17, 2011 at 1:31 pm
Some folks seem to be confusing a Chamber of Commerce Luncheon (at which Supervisor Miley happens to be a luncheon speaker) with a town hall meeting. Those of you that want a town hall meeting which you could attend for free should contact Supervisor Miley and encourage him to have some.
BTW, Jeb Bing howling because he can't go eat for free is a laugh. It seems the PW always has its tin cup out lately.

Asian Festival of Children's Content, Singapore ~ Day 1
I've just arrived in Singapore to take part in the upcoming Asian Festival of Children's Content and thought I would post a few pictures taken during my first afternoon in the city. I've only been here a few hours and to say I'm impressed would be an understatement. Singapore is amazing! The weather is beautiful, the people so friendly and the city itself is stunning: modern highrises mixed with colonial buildings, multicultural enclaves such as Chinatown and Little India, all surrounded by immaculate parks and tropical greenery.
The first two photos were taken at Vancouver International Airport and show the First Nations artwork which is highlighted throughout the terminal, then it's on to Singapore. Enjoy!
Now the jet lag is catching up to me and it's time to get to sleep. The festival starts on May 25th so I will have some time tomorrow to get to discover Singapore a bit more…

This year, The Night of Too Many Stars is NOT donating to Autism $peaks. It has benefited A$ in the past, but this year it only benefits New York Collaborates for Autism. I spoke with a woman from that group and she said she agrees with me that A$ and similar "advocacy" and "research" groups are bullshit and that the money raised will only go towards services. She even stated she was interested in working with ASAN! So we've actually made progress! Let's celebrate!

Antinori Guado Al Tasso

Published Reviews
- 95
95 pts. Wine Enthusiast: August, 2002
Fast becoming one of the world's top luxury cuvées, this blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Syrah is a complex amalgam of dry, classy fruit, herbal notes, smoked meat, black pepper and baking spices. Its calling card is its perfect body weight. It isn't heavy or jammy, but it manages to offer tons of stuffing and a graceful finish loaded with the essence of cola, coffee and chocolate. If possible, it should be cellared for several more years.
- 94
94 pts. Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate: October, 2001
Spectacular, the 1999 Guado Al Tasso possesses sweet tannin and accessibility. Its explosive aromatics consist of smoke, licorice, espresso, chocolate, vanillin and celestial black cherries. With sensational concentration, flamboyant flavors, an opulent texture, full body, and brilliant concentration as well as delineation, it comes across as intense, balanced, pure, and rich. Anticipated maturity: now–2016.
- 90
90 pts. Wine & Spirits: October 1, 2002
Smoky, charry aromas are as tempting as the scent of steaks on a fire; the flavors only confirm the draw, with black cherry fruit that seems to require a fork and knife. It's cabernet sauvignon and merlot with a touch of syrah, dense and delicious; a catch for the cellar.
- 89
89 pts. Wine Spectator: September 15, 2002
Aromas of red licorice, with cut flowers and cumin and a hint of tarragon. Full-bodied, with tight and firm tannins, yet fresh and solid. Give this time; should open up. Slightly rustic. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. Best after 2004. Tasted twice with consistent notes.
Member Store Reviews
Produced from the vineyard that bears its name, Guado al Tasso located on the Tuscan coast in Bolgheri, is a unique blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Syrah. The wine is aged in 225 liter oak barrels for 14 months followed by 10 months in the bottle. An intense ruby red with luscious fruit flavors of cherry and cassis and hints of toast, coffee and dark chocolate. Finely structured and complex with balanced, soft tannins and a lingering finish.

In the interest of sparking some discussion, but not taking away from coverage of the playoff drive, I've ranked and briefly described the Nashville Predators' Top Ten prospects in the system. These rankings are my own, and certainly not definitive - simply meant as food for thought.
Two notes: - 1) the 'comparison' blurb doesn't necessarily mean that's the prospect's talent level, and 2) players such as Colin Wilson (who earlier in his career would take up our "no. 1" spot) and Cody Franson are excluded given their time spent in the NHL already.
10. Austin Watson - W
Style: two-way winger
Projection: key cog on an elite two-way line
Comparison: Patrick Sharp
9. Michael Latta - C
Style: extremely physical, not averse to dropping the gloves
Projection: third line center
Comparison: Mike Richards
8. Blake Geoffrion - C
Style: two-way contributor
Projection: third line center
Comparison: Mike Fisher
7. Patrick Cehlin - W
Style: offensive winger
Projection: 2nd line wing, PP2 contributor
6. Charles Olivier-Roussel - D
Style: extremely physical defenseman with some offensive skill
Projection: a second pair defenseman
Comparison: Brent Seabrook
5. Zach Budish - W
Style: big hitter with soft hands
Projection: second line power forward
Comparison: Chris Stewart
4. Taylor Beck - W
Style: sniper
Projection: second line winger, PP1 contributor
3. Ryan Ellis - D
Style: offensive defenseman
Projection: no. 4 NHL defenseman, PP1 quarterback
Comparison: Alex Goligoski
2. Roman Josi - D
Style: Extremely mobile offensive defenseman
Projection: no. 3 NHL defenseman
