SEO & Strategy Development Since 2005
Our team has provided SEO, PPC, copywriting, and analytics services for all kinds of brands. We are true consultants.
Conversions By The Numbers
Greenlane Search Marketing takes a high data approach to internet marketing and optimization. At the end of the day, our success lies in your conversions.
SEO is an Inbound Marketing Channel
Let SEO work as a marketing channel and benefit not just Google, but your brand and visitors. Search engines have changed. We build your brand and make your marketing KPIs our own.
The New Google Wants More Than Keywords!
If there's one thing Google has told us in the last 3 years, standard SEO tactics aren't enough. We're consultants in the truest sense of the word. We're not keyword research laborers or a link building service. We want to partner with companies that are looking for the big ideas that get you trusted by Google. We help your company create the ideas that meet your goals, and help develop them to launch. These are the SEO marketing campaigns we produced for major retail clients, but now focusing on bringing to smaller clients. From B2B to B2C, with large and small companies, we have experience supporting initiatives with analytics, statistics, and attribution. SEO is often referred to as an "art and a science." We've built our offering on experience in both, with our eye to SEO's modern role in internet marketing as a whole.

Are You A Local Business?
Click here to learn how SEO can help you!
We also specialize in local search. Search engine optimization has matured past "get me good rankings," and is recognized as a full-fledged digital marketing channel embracing content marketing, conversion rate optimization, user experience, analytics, video, and social media. SEO is capable of driving qualified traffic to both your website and brick-and-mortar store. Local Search is a specific area of SEO that some businesses can really benefit from. Google and Bing run different algorithms to populate their maps and local listings. Though the concepts are the same – be relevant, valuable, and useful – local search tends to have its own set of challenges. To get into local listings, which tend to appear for locally-stemmed keywords, you need to appeal to yet another search algorithm. Consider keyword searches from a searcher looking for a company like ours. A keyword they might enter into Google is Philadelphia SEO company, with the hope of finding a company in their neighborhood by adding a geo-modifier. For these searches, "normal" Google listings have sometimes given way to a local "pack," which drives users to all the local information Google knows about chosen Philadelphia SEO companies. The look and feel of local listings is different (more like internet yellow pages), while the generic web results get pushed down. At Greenlane Search Marketing, we can drive local search campaigns to identify a need to be in the packs, and then optimize for visibility within the packs and all other local search properties. This becomes increasingly necessary each year as mobile devices begin to drive more traffic, sales, and phone calls. Speak to us for more information. (click again to close)

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) - Police in Fairfax County say they're investigating as suspicious the death of a 19-year-old found in minivan.
Police say they found the teen in the vehicle in the Vienna area Friday night around 7 p.m. Police said the vehicle had crashed into a barrier at the end of a service road off of Chain Bridge Road near Glengyle Drive. Police said in a statement that evidence suggests the teen's injuries may not have been caused by the crash.
Police say an autopsy will determine the teen's cause of death. Police identified the teen Saturday as Zavier O. Stringfellow of Virginia.

Conservation International's Carbon Fund invests in sustainable landscapes that help combat climate change by reducing deforestation and conserving critical ecosystem services — the services we need to grow and prosper as a society. These include food and timber, as well as clean water, livable climates, recreation and renewable forms of energy.
These multiple outcomes are achieved through the development of a strong pipeline of demonstration projects coupled with innovative financing and mechanisms meant to ensure long-term sustainability and private sector participation. The fund focuses on results-based financing to develop early stage conservation projects for both CI and our partners, including REDD+ projects and complementary activities such as efficient fuel wood use and improved agricultural practices.
Current partners include:
We are also looking for corporate, multilateral and major donor partners to support the Carbon Fund in developing sustainable landscapes.

about the fearless homemaker
welcome to fearless homemaker! i'm amy, + this blog chronicles my journey navigating the world of homemaking – cooking, baking, crafting, hosting parties, + cocktailing.
i'm not a professional chef, baker, or crafter. i'm self-taught, which means that there are plenty of mishaps + mistakes along the way. my culinary adventures have proved especially interesting as i was a vegetarian for seven years, until i finally succumbed to the cruel temptation that is bacon.
i was raised in boston + moved to tennessee to attend vanderbilt university, where i got my bachelor's degree in spanish + art history. i was so charmed by the south + this amazing city that once i graduated, i made nashville my permanent home.
since then, i have received my master's in positive psychology from the university of pennsylvania + found an amazing job – as a coordinator for cultural care au pair, the country's largest au pair program. i am passionate about cultural exchange + work with the american host families + their international au pairs to ensure a positive experience for everyone.
when i'm not working on my homemaker skills, i love spending time with friends, family + my wonderful husband (who i married in a surprise wedding), strolling with the world's greatest dog, practicing yoga, shopping at boutique stores + local shops, + relaxing on a nice outdoor patio. i try to get the most enjoyment out of every day.
i hope you enjoy following my adventures as much as i enjoy living them. feel free to email me at email@example.com with questions or comments. cheers!

HI Amy,
Loved reading your blog! We have many of the same interests… Alcohol, crafts, animal (rescue), low meat eating and of course, coordinating au pairs for host families! Maybe you will be the one to finally teach me to cook!
Good luck!

Cute pics!!! Great site!!

I'm so glad I found this blog! It is so adorable!
Could it really be that you've only been at this blog for a month? You're a natural, to say the least!
- 6 October 25, 2010 at 2:46 pm
Amy – LOVE your Blog. I too am a bit of a foodie and love to cook. I belong to 2 cooking clubs and whenI feel stressed, cooking helps me unwind. Of course wine doesn't hurt either!
- 7 November 2, 2010 at 6:38 pm
Ames!! Love this! I feel like I'm listening to you tell me stories while I'm reading!
- 8 November 4, 2010 at 1:59 pm
Seriously love this Amy!! I will be blog stalking you from here on out

Hey Amy, I stumbled on your website from Vivek's food blog. I was wondering if you have any red wine vinegar mother. I need a mother! BTW, I too am from the Boston area, have worked for 10 years in Phila (also went to Villanova and PennState State College), and have been in Nashville for about 12 years now. I love Boston and Phila, but not the winters. It is Nov in Nashville, and I am wearing shorts!
- 11 November 13, 2010 at 9:22 am
Yes, I am going to try and make vinegar. I got a crock with as spigot, I got a couple bottles of good red wine with about 1/2 – 1 cup of wine left, and am ready to feed a blob of bacteria called mother. I just can't drink that much, so we never finish a bottle of wine, and I don't want to waste the wine, so vinegar was what I thought. I have made my own vanilla extract (started in Sept 2005), and it is really powerful stuff now, and it just takes time. I want to try vinegar, herb vinegar, etc too, and I figure with a good mother, it is just a matter of time.
- 12 November 16, 2010 at 12:24 pm
Just wanted to say that you are a natural at this! I have seen sooo many cooking/crafting blogs, which are just plain bad, but yours is awesome. I always make sure to read your posts…always such great ideas! I think you definitely have something here…so, when you make it as the next Martha/Rachael Ray, make sure you give Dedham a little shout-out.
- 14 January 12, 2011 at 1:16 pm
Thanks for linking up to Mostly Made By You! I love finding fellow Nashville Bloggers – Following you now!
- 15 March 27, 2011 at 3:25 pm
Amy, so I started my red wine vinegar on March 20. I will see how it rolls! If it works out, in 3-6 months I should have vinegar mother to spare! I can't wait!
- 17 July 21, 2011 at 2:59 pm
Hi Amy! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I can't wait to read more of yours…you take beautiful pictures and make incredibly creative recipes, from what I can tell!
It's so interesting that you work for an au pair program. I ended up interviewing many au pairs during my fieldwork for my Anthropology M.A. (they worked through a different program, but still very cool!)
Take care!
- 19 July 26, 2011 at 7:58 pm
You are adorable. And I can already see that you are one of "those" bloggers who have awesome photography skills haha! I'm already jealous!!

- 29 December 7, 2011 at 7:26 pm
So, I was strolling your blog (trying to see who is enjoying my cookies ) when I saw you where you work. I have a Brazilian friend who is currently an au pair through your company! She is up in New Jersey, so you probably don't know her, but it is one of those "It's a Small World!" moments. (Yes, I now have the song in my head. Oops.) Very cool! (Actually, it is because of your company that I have my husband… my friend was an au pair through you guys, introduced me to a boy in Brazil who needed help with English, and well, the rest is history. It is her little sister who is in NJ right now. Crazy, huh?!)
- 31 April 17, 2012 at 12:37 pm

Carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases occur naturally, trapping heat in the atmosphere and keeping Earth's climate stable. But human activities over the last few centuries have released greenhouse gases at levels that are destabilizing the climate — far too quickly for human institutions, and the species they rely on, to keep up. In 2013, CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere hit 400 parts per million — the highest they've been in 3 million years.
From big cities to small communities, 50% of the global population lives near the coast—and they are all at risk from destructive storms, which will become more frequent with the changing climate and sea level rise, which will cause more storm surges.
Everyone deserves access to fresh water. But climate change puts that access at risk. A warmer world means that some areas will become too dry, causing prolonged droughts. By one estimate, climate impacts will cause up to a 50% decline in water availability in many areas, causing irreparable losses to livelihoods and ways of life and potentially causing conflicts over water use. Other areas will be too wet — and could face increased incidence of devastating floods.
Scientists estimate that, by 2050, global demand for food will nearly double. Yet the latest research shows that climate change is already disrupting growing seasons in many parts of the world, and the situation will only get worse. We need to use our water and land more efficiently — and support the farmers whose livelihoods are at risk — if we are going to rise to the challenge of feeding everyone who lives on a warming planet.

This week has been quite a headache for Vince McMahon. Aside from losing a third of his personal net worth, the WWE CEO also has some new headaches looming, as an investment firm has bought a large amount of shares in the company. Lemelson Capital announced the transaction, and they are also calling for WWE to make changes to the management team.
May 17, 2014
With more people in the United States now aware that the Great Muta owns a wrestling promotion called Wrestle-1, many have started wondering about the net worth of the Japanese legend. While he has made millions over the years, Muta actually has financial backers to help fund Wrestle-1. GEN Sports Entertainment put down quite a bit of money to help launch the promotion.
May 11, 2014
Since she has raised her profile tremendously over the last year, thanks in large part to her roles on Monday Night Raw and Total Divas, Eva Marie has increased her net worth quite a bit. Reports are floating around that the red haired WWE diva is now worth approximately $2 million. Her net worth could increase tremendously once she gets her big push.
May 1, 2014
Now that Global Force Wrestling has been officially announced, skeptical fans have been questioning whether or not Jeff Jarrett has enough of a net worth to fund such an endeavor. While he is putting some of his own money into the project, the TNA founder is not alone in this venture. Aside from Toby Keith chipping in a large chunk, there are other investors being lined up as well.
April 14, 2014
A lot of wrestling fans have been wondering about the net worth of Nikita Koloff, as the legendary NWA star has yet to even make an appearance in WWE. The former United States Heavyweight Champion is done with professional wrestler. He has been a preacher for quite some time now, and his family was also featured on a reality television for the Lifetime Network.
April 14, 2014
Almost immediately after word spread about his death, a lot of people became curious about the net worth of the Ultimate Warrior, especially since fans were introduced to his mother, wife and daughters at the WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Some websites are reporting that the Ultimate Warrior's net worth is approximately $1.6 million.
April 9, 2014
"I don't consider myself a rich person. I know that I am, but it's not like I belong to any country clubs. I have a car that goes very fast and a motorcycle that goes extraordinarily fast [he said of his Bentley and a Boss Hoss 502]. I love speed. Beyond that, I don't really have anything in common with anyone in Greenwich except zeros. Normally I do not like rich people. I have a voracious appetite, for life and everything in it. To a certain extent I will die a very frustrated man because I didn't do this or accomplish that." - Vince McMahon talking about his net worth
March 26, 2014
A website called Sport Rich List is claiming that Scott Steiner has a net worth of approximately $4.4 million, which instantly caused wrestling fans to wonder about the legitimacy of that claim, as the former WWE star has not collected a big salary in quite some time. There are those that believe that he is suing TNA because he is hoping to cash in a big pay day.
March 21, 2014
Now that she is starting to make her name known, thanks to appearances on Total Divas and Monday Night Raw, a lot of people have been looking into the net worth of Eva Marie. While some sites like Celebrity Net Worth have been attempting to draw in those WWE fans to their site, it is much too soon for any of that relevant data about her financial situation to be available.
March 14, 2014
Recently, Forbes magazine revealed that Vince McMahon had a net worth of over a billion dollars again. The main reason is because WWE is worth a lot more now than it was previously. Stocks are doing extremely well, and the company is valued at around $2.24 billion right now. The launch of the WWE Network helped gain the trust of investors.
March 8, 2014
For years, wrestling fans have debated the net worth of Vince McMahon. While he has been a billionaire before, many did not believe that he had dropped down to millionaire status. Well, the WWE CEO has made the jump once again into billionaire status, and this time, he is being recognized by Forbes magazine for that accomplishment.
March 3, 2014
While some are wondering whether Jeff Jarrett has enough money to start a new wrestling promotion, it was now been revealed that he has quite a bit of investors lined up. Toby Keith, a musician whose net worth is approximately $500 million, is leading the way, but there are also others with deep pockets who have signed on. Jarrett's credentials helped to seal the deal.
March 1, 2014
A website called The Richest is reporting that Jeff Jarrett has a net worth of approximately $2 million. Despite the site not providing much financial details, that has caused a lot of fans to lock in on the numbers. Jarrett made a good amount of money from his time in WWE and WCW, and received a sizable amount from Dixie Carter and her family.
February 18, 2014
Earlier this week, wrestling fans learned a little more about the net worth of Shane McMahon. It was revealed that he holds approximately $35 million in stock with WWE. It has now been discovered that he also has approximately $13 million in stock with YOU on Demand, the company where he once served as the CEO.
February 17, 2014
Since rumors have popped up about Jeff Jarrett starting a new wrestling promotion, a lot of people have begun to question what his net worth is. While he seems to have a good amount of money saved up, the TNA founder is actually doing the wise thing by pulling in well funded investors to help him launch this project.
February 16, 2014
Since he is now living comfortably in Hawaii, where the former WCCW star is simply just enjoying nature, many have been wondering what the net worth of Kevin Von Erich is. Those numbers are not readily available to the public, but it is safe to assume that he received a sizable check from WWE for the wrestling library that his family owned for years.
February 6, 2014
Since news has surfaced that Ken Shamrock is now working as a security guard, many are starting to question his net worth. Some sources are stating that the former UFC champion is worth approximately $1.5 million, but many believe that it is much lower than that.
January 10, 2014
While it has been years since his heyday as a professional wrestler and actor, sources are stating that Roddy Piper still has a net worth of $4 million right now. The belief is that he made quite a bit of money during his time with WCW and has invested well.
January 1, 2014
Apparently, there is a fair amount of people out there that have been wondering about the net worth of Tully Blanchard, as several sites have used his name to target search engines. None have provided much information on his value. While the former US champion did not make a lot of money in the NWA and WWE, he also was quite the big spender during his days.

Editor's Note: This profile of one of our Home of the Year winners originally ran in May of 2012. We're highlighting past winners in anticipation of the May 2013 release of the new Home of the Year winners. You'll want to check back in May, because the new winners are awesome.
Look! It's a theater with raised seating in the back. Or maybe it's a family room with a casual layout and a huge plasma TV. That 85-inch screen is almost as big as what you'd typically find in a dedicated home theater, which makes this gold-winning family media room almost a theater.
The 85-incher nearly lights up the room—while blending into the upscale decor. Starr Systems Design of Baltimore proposed a front-projection system, but the homeowner didn't want a machine hanging from the ceiling and preferred the image quality of a flat-panel display, so the option was Panasonic's TH-85PF12U 1080p professional-grade plasma. Starr Systems worked closely with the interior designer, providing dimensions and measurements so the walnut-paneled wall could be designed to accommodate the large display. It required a special mounting bracket and several guys to get the 260-pounder up on the wall.
Audio performance was also very important to the homeowners. "We chose to use relatively large freestanding speakers concealed within custom cabinetry," says Sean Weiner of Starr Systems. Powerful Bowers & Wilkins (also knows as B&W) speakers and subwoofers are deftly concealed in the cabinet below the plasma, which floats over the floor to give the illusion of more space and depth. Three of the B&W CT7.3 LCRS home theater speakers and two B&W CT SW10 10-inch subwoofers fire through the fabric grilles.
"The B&Ws have tons of output, and were perfect to build into the cabinet. They have a very natural and neutral sound, for both music and movies," says Weiner. Four in-ceiling CCM818 speakers, also from B&W, round out the 7.1-channel system. To the right of the plasma and concealed as part of the wall is a door to the mechanical room that houses essential equipment such as a Rotel RSP- 1570 Digital Home Theater Processor, Rotel power amps, a high-def cable box, an LG Blu-ray player with an embedded Vudu movie player, an Apple TV and the AMX NetLinx processor for control of the family room, as well as the entire house.
The homeowners use AMX's Modero MVP- 5200i 5.2-inch wireless touchpanel to choose among sources and scenes—and to send music throughout the house. Lutron's HomeWorks lighting control solution was also added to the basement media haven. But that's not all. To one side of the media room is a bar with a 42-inch Elite plasma and its own B&W CCM65 in-ceiling speakers. The bar area can play the same content that's on the big screen in the media room or function as its own independent entertainment zone. The speakers' aluminum tweeters and Kevlar woofers complement the build and sound quality of the B&W freestanding speakers used for the front channels of the media room, says Weiner.
When talking with Weiner about this basement media room, the word "integrate" pops up a lot. But Weiner's not necessarily talking about the way an audio/video system is integrated with a control system. He's talking more about design. "The coolest part of this room has to be the design," he says. "We worked closely with the interior designer and integrated with woodwork with the fireplace, speakers, big TV and everything. It's a really comfortable space."
No disagreement here. Who wouldn't want to sink into one of those comfy seats and fire up that 85-inch plasma and 7.1-channel system? Even better, adjoining spaces feature game and exercise rooms. Of course, blending design with great video and sound requires some serious fine-tuning. The Panasonic television received simple calibrations for all of the inputs at their native resolutions, with extra attention given to the contrast ratio settings to minimize the effect on the overall dynamic range and perceived resolution of the image, says Weiner. Subwoofer crossover adjustments were made using a combination of the Rotel processor's settings and the subwoofer amplifier adjustments, and audio calibrations were performed with a traditional SPL meter.

Louisville Slugger BBCOR Bats
2013 Louisville Slugger Exogrid 3 BBCOR Baseball Bat BB13EX
Item#: BB13EX
Manufacturer: Louisville Slugger
2013 Louisville Slugger Exogrid 3 BBCOR Baseball Bat BB13EX
The new Exogrid 3 from Louisville Slugger is equipped with their patent pending Flex Band Technology - rather than thickening the walls of their bats to bring them in line with BBCOR standards, Louisville Slugger inserted a 1"-wide graphite band. Not only does this band give the bat the lowest swing weight available for a 2 5/8" BBCOR barrel, it's small enough that the sweet spot feels just like your old BESR bat.

The first movement is a wonderful slow fugue; Wagner said it floated over the sorrows of the world, but even that description is too small for it. For the reader who knows something about normal fugal practice, the answer is here on the subdominant instead of the usual dominant, so that the expressive main accent of the subject now falls on the note D. This becomes the key of the quick, fleeting second movement, in a truncated sonata form, almost miraculously contrasted to the fugue. The subdominant inflexion in the fugue is now matched in a quite different way by the relationship between this D major piece and the next main movement, a great set of variations in A major, forming the central slow movement (beginning 'Andante ma non troppo e molto cantabile'). There are six variations, the last a sublime Adagio in 9/4 time, one of Beethoven's supreme inspirations. The whole of this movement remains rooted in A major, and when the Scherzo breaks in, its E major feels more like the dominant of the previous A than like a key in its own right.
Beethoven shrewdly avoids fixing E as a tonality, always blunting its own dominant into G sharp minor; when the Trio (heard twice complete) slips into A we feel this to be by the force of gravity. G sharp minor, having been active in the Scherzo, next becomes the key of No 6 ('Adagio quasi un poco andante'), a deeply affecting slow introduction to the fiery C sharp minor finale in which both the note and the tonality of D may be felt at crucial times with penetrating force. The unfathomable unity of all this makes any description merely topographical and pedestrian, the more so in the attempt to be poetical. Musicians or no, we can be aware of it instinctively, even when we don't know why, when we are moved beyond expression.

Flex Rooms
Why sequester a home theater to a room all by itself when it can share space with your living room, den or some other area you already use for other purposes? This is the question many people are asking themselves these days, and for good reason. It's significantly less expensive to incorporate theater equipment into an existing space than to build a room from scratch, and an entertainment system will probably get used a lot more when located in a family room than hidden away in an isolated room in the basement, for example. It's all about economy, practicality and usability when it comes to home theater these days, and manufacturers have stepped up to the plate by building screens, projectors and speakers that perform well in rooms where the lights are typically on or where there are many viewing areas.
Thank you, guys as Nest Labs. The retro/mod looking Nest Learning Thermostat has almost single-handedly made thermostats cool—for about the first time ever. And they should be cool because a good programmable, connected or smart thermostat can save you a bundle on energy costs. Not only does the Nest learn your habits so you don't actually have to program the thermostat, it offers one-button iPod-like simplicity. There are plenty of other good and less expensive thermostats you can control with mobile apps as well.
Two-Channel Audio
Music listening is at an all-time high, now that songs can be downloaded with a click of a button and streamed to speakers throughout the house. Now that we've had time to savor the super accessibility of our digital tunes, it's time we take our music listening to the next level. Although few people will ever give up their earbuds for pure convenience, we've come to understand that music sounds better when it's played in analog, not digital—and this means outfitting your house with a two-channel stereo system, complete with a turntable, a digital-to-analog (DAC) converter, and big, powerful floorstanding speakers.
Apps for Home Control
If you have any kind of home control system that doesn't offer an iPhone/iPad orAndroid app, then you need another home control system. There are apps today for motorized garage doors, automated irrigation systems, you name it. Even rudimentary home control systems from big service providers like ADTand Comcast and do-it-yourself systems using wireless technologies like Z-Wave to unlock doors and operate thermostats are operable by mobile apps. And the app is a big selling point. Why? It's far easier and cheaper to use a smartphone or tablet than operate an expensive, dedicated touchpanel. Plus, we love our iToys!

At today's Sonia Rykiel A/W 2010 show, the lady herself sat front row (her daughter Nathalie is artistic director of the brand and designs the collection), flanked by Beth Ditto (who is up there in the frequent frower count this season, even giving Leigh Lezark a run for her money!) and Paris Vogue's Carine Roitfeld.
Despite the fact that every model wore a huge (we are talking almost head sized here) pompom head band, the collection was much more muted and wearable than usual. Caramel browns, khaki and grey took the place of the traditional Sonia crayon brights. The use of knit - classic Rykiel - was still as prevalent as ever though. They came in every conceivable texture; mohair tube dresses so fine they were semi transparent, a simple camel coatigan which was smooth knit on the body and had jumbo cable sleeves and a military inspired 4 pocket coat made from what appeared to be boiled wool. The army theme continued with a grey silky all-in-one complete with eppoulettes and breast pockets, and an oversized ankle length great coat in a gorgeous tomato red. Of course they managed to sneak a few stripes in (well they are practically the Sonia Rykiel trade mark after all), but even they were more subtle than previous seasons and confined to panels on a sweater dress and a knitted jumpsuit.
As ever with a Sonia Rykiel show, the finale provided the money shot - the one their press office no doubt hope will make all the blogs and newspapers. This season saw the models streaming onto the catwalk en masse each wearing a maribou feather coat or dress. The effect was charming and glamorous. And when Nathalie Rykiel joined the models to take her bow, Sonia applauded enthusiastically as any proud mother would.

CTI Records Reissues Include Gems by Paul Desmond, Milt Jackson and Ron Carter
Lately Sony Jazz has been emptying out the CTI vaults they inherited: it's amazing how much good jazz is in there, and how well it's aged. Conventional wisdom is that Creed Taylor's California label was primarily a source for fusion, and there's some truth to that, but not completely. Three delicious new reissues attest to that. First and foremost is Paul Desmond's exquisite Pure Desmond: it's such a good album that it would be a contender for the year's top ten pretty much anytime in the last couple of decades. Desmond was rarely comfortable in the role of bandleader for many reasons, but he seems so on this 1974 gem, and even though it's a mix of standards by Duke, Jerome Kern, Django and Cole Porter, the group here reinvents them. Desmond never overpowered anybody with his martini tone, and here he gets the chance to let it breathe over some of the smartest jazz rhythm guitar ever recorded, courtesy of the vastly underrated Ed Bickert. Meanwhile, Connie Kay plays an almost invisible beat with brushes, Ron Carter alongside on bass. Lyrical and unselfconsciously poignant, it's truly Pure Desmond, very close, both tune and vibe-wise to his 1954 quintet session featuring another brilliant guitarist, Barney Kessel.
Another welcome rediscovery is vibraphonist Milt Jackson's lush, psychedelic 1972 Sunflower album with Herbie Hancock on piano, Carter on bass, Billy Cobham on drums, Freddie Hubbard on trumpet and Jay Berliner on acoustic guitar plus a string orchestra. It's got the flamenco noir sweep of Jackson's For Someone I Love, a vividly cosmopolitan version of Michel Legrand's What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life, an understatedly funky, cinematic take of the Stylistics' People Make the World Go Round plus the absolutely hypnotic title track, a Freddie Hubbard composition, its dreamlike pulse augmented by the strings. Gorgeously otherworldly, it deserves to be better known than it is.
Last but not least, Ron Carter's All Blues - taking its title from a judicious, practically ten minute version of the Miles classic – is a refreshingly terse session featuring Joe Henderson on tenor, Sir Roland Hanna on piano and Billy Cobham swinging like crazy behind the kit. It sounds little like the kind of stuff Cobham would be playing later in the decade, and much the same applies to Carter: it's all judicious funk and melody, no rat-on-a-treadmill walking scales. This title in particular stands out for how intelligently it's been remastered (although that could be said of all of them): the bass, already amplified courtesy of a Fender amp, gets a welcome boost, although the drums remain comfortably back in the mix just as they were on the original vinyl. Highlights include the beautifully modal piano/bass ballad Light Blue, the gentle funk theme 117 Special – a classic showcase for understated Henderson soulfulness – and the playfully tricky Rufus, a shout-out to Rufus Reid.
Also available in the reissue series is George Benson's White Rabbit - and for fans of long-forgotten synthesizer film scores from the 1970s, Eumir Deodato's Prelude. All links here are to itunes, although cds are available as well.

Health Information
The Egg Bounces Back
Whether you eat them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, eggs are an excellent choice.
The two-word reason: "nutrient dense." That means you get a lot of good stuff—protein, vitamins, minerals—in a few calories. Eggs are a great protein source.
An omelet is a better choice than pancakes, but make it with two eggs, not five, and pile on veggies to fill the plate.
One large egg has about 5 grams of fat, but more of the fat is monounsaturated and polyunsaturated (2.6 grams) than unhealthy saturated (1.6 grams). The yolk has all the fat, which is why some dieters stick to egg-white omelets. But the yolk also has a lot of the vitamins and minerals.
The egg's prime benefit is its protein—a little more than 6 grams for one large egg, with 72 calories. The egg white alone offers 4 grams of protein with 16 calories. Other nutrients found in eggs include calcium, folate, phosphorus, sodium, and vitamins A and D.
Tracking your cholesterol
Eggs also contain cholesterol. The American Heart Association (AHA) says an egg a day is fine for most people, as long as you keep track of the cholesterol and saturated fats in your other foods, too. You shouldn't eat more than one egg yolk a day if you have a history of high cholesterol or cardiovascular disease, but heed your doctor's advice.
Keep these cholesterol facts from the AHA in mind when considering eggs:
One large egg contains about 212 mg of cholesterol, which is more than 70 percent of the 300 mg daily recommended intake for healthy adults. If you have heart disease, diabetes, or high cholesterol, your daily cholesterol limit should be less than 200 mg.
Extra large and jumbo eggs contain more cholesterol than large eggs.
Use egg whites instead of whole eggs when cooking. Use two egg whites or one white and 2 teaspoons of unsaturated oil in place of one whole egg in recipes. Egg substitutes are also a good alternative.
How you cook the egg and what you put on it matters, too. Watch out for salt and for added saturated fats—from sauces and baked goods, for instance.
Combining eggs with vegetables can make a satisfying dinner. Leave out the meat and cheese to eliminate added cholesterol and saturated fat. (Keep your saturated fat intake below 10 percent of your total calories, and your total fat intake between 20 and 35 percent of total calories.)
To add some vitamin C, include a citrus fruit or a small glass of orange juice with your breakfast egg or a little lemon juice in your deviled egg recipe.

You are here:
Oxfam has reached nearly one million people so far with desperately needed food, water and shelter. But the scale of this emergency is huge and we still urgently need your help to continue supporting families forced from their homes by conflict.
Donate to the Syria Crisis Appeal
For detailed information about Oxfam's response, download Oxfam's Syria Crisis: Emergency Response Update, March 2014 (PDF, 499KB)
Oxfam aid worker Sally El-Mouallem leads children in a hygiene promotion game at Za'atari camp.
More than 140, 000 people have lost their lives as a result of the Syrian conflict.1 million people have fled their homes and are living in neighbouring countries including Lebanon and Jordan. Over 9 million are in need of humanitarian assistance such as water, food, and shelter as well as money for rent and household necessities. Oxfam is providing aid and long-term support to hundreds of thousands of people affected by the crisis.
Syria remains an Oxfam priority. We estimate that we have reached close to a million people already - 600,000 in Syria and 330,000 refugees in Lebanon and Jordan - and we are continuing to expand our response.
Syria Crisis Appeal videos
As of March 2014, Oxfam has reached more than 205,000 vulnerable people in Lebanon. Our response has included:
We plan to reach 6,000 families by April 2014 through further hygiene kit distributions.
More details of our response are available in Syria Crisis: Emergency Response Update, March 2014 (499KB PDF).
In Jordan, the main (though by no means exclusive) focus of our efforts has been in Za'atari camp, which is now the fourth biggest population centre in Jordan, housing around 107,000 Syrian refugees - over three times more people than the camp was originally designed to accommodate.
Oxfam currently works in three of Za'atari's 12 districts, surpervising water and sanitation, refuse management and the cleaning and maintenance of wash blocks. We also co-ordinate the distribution of hygiene kits, and hygiene promotion activities. To date, our response has included:
Oxfam has had an office inside Syria since July 2013, responding alongside other agencies to the urgent need for clean water. An estimated 35% of water treatment plants in Syria have been damaged during the conflict and there are concerns over water contamination.
Working with the Syrian Ministry of Water Resources and local water boards, we have brought two water treatment plants back on-line using multiple truck-sized generators, capable of continuously pumping more than 700,000 extra litres of water per hour - enough to deliver safe water to around 500,000 people in Damascus city and the surrounding province (Rif Damascus). These generators are the first of 18 to be installed.
Our plans for 2014 include:

Consciousness In The Cell
When the period of pregnancy is complete, the abrupt beginning of labor pains herald the start of a new life. A hormone called oxytocin initiates labor and sends the first indication of this impending event.
This hormone, released by the pituitary gland, has its effect in two main sites: on the muscles of the mother's uterus, and on the muscle cells that eject milk into the ducts of the breasts.
The increased contraction of the uterus is of utmost importance in ensuring that birth will take place safely for both mother and infant. This hormone facilitates the strong contractions of the muscles of the uterus—but does so only after nine months and ten days have passed since conception. Either earlier or later could put the baby's life in danger. When the right time comes, receptors in the uterus send signals to the brain. On receiving this signal the brain produces oxytocin, just the right molecule, and sends it to the target area—those receptors far away.
In addition to all this, oxytocin has another separate function, facilitating the nourishment of the baby just arrived to the world by secreting a supply of milk.
How do cells in a tiny part of the mother's brain decide to produce a hormone that makes childbirth easy for the womb to perform?
How do cells in a tiny part of the mother's brain decide to produce a hormone that makes childbirth easy for the womb to perform?
How can this hormone find its way through the whole circulatory system, to the exact cells where it is needed?
Who possesses the knowledge that the baby needs to develop and mature for nine months and ten days in the mother's womb, and begins the mechanism of labor at just the right point?
Does the oxytocin hormone itself consider the baby's need to be fed and set up a system that ensures the secretion of milk from the mother?
Oxytocin is just one hormone out of thousands in our body. Just like it, every other hormone helps organize bodily functions; makes critical decisions; sets about implementing them; communicates with other cells; stimulates the needed secretions; determines the necessary amounts, the timing and duration—carrying out this and many other complex processes without fault.
Very obviously, such a wondrously perfect planning does not come about by itself, or as a result of coincidence. The Planner, Creator and Controller of the entire conscious organization of these hormones, down to the tiniest detail, is God, the Possessor of infinite knowledge.
1. ADH and oxytocin hormones are released by the pituitary gland.
2. At the appropriate time, ADH and oxytocin are transported down axons of the pituitary for secretion into blood.
3. Pituitary gland
4. Artery
6. ADH affects the tubules in the kidneys. Oxytocin, on the other hand, affects the uterus and mammary glands.
7. The smooth muscles of the uterus
8. Oxytocin
9. Mammary glands in the breasts
10. Oxytocin initiates the secretion of breast milk and contractions during labor.

Sposalizio was first written in 1838 or 1839, and the manuscript shows at least two levels of revision before the version finally published. (The only complete and performable earlier version will appear in Volume 48 of this series, along with the earlier versions of the Dante Sonata.) Liszt composed the work in homage to Raphael's eponymous painting of the betrothal of Our Lady and St Joseph (which may be seen in the Brera Chapel in Milan). We know from Liszt's later use of the second theme (G major, Lento) in the work for voices and organ called Zur Trauung ('At the betrothal') and otherwise catalogued as Ave Maria III that this melody honours Mary, but Liszt offers no further clues to the musical characterization. The uncanny presentiment in the closing phrases of Debussy's First Arabesque has often been noted.
Michelangelo's sculpture Il penseroso may be seen on the tomb of Lorenzo de' Medici in the church of San Lorenzo in Florence. The music is amongst the simplest and most stark of Liszt's early mature works, and appears to have been incorporated as it was originally written in 1838/9. The work was later revised and extended to form the second of the Trois Odes funèbres: 'La notte' (in Volume 3), and both works bear Michelangelo's quatrain:
Grato m'è il sonno, e più l'esser di sasso.
Mentre che il danno e la vergogna dura.
Non veder, non sentir m'è gran ventura
Però non mi destar, deh'—parla basso!
Sleep, nay, being made of rock,
makes me happy whilst harm and shame endure.
It is a great adventure neither to see nor to hear.
However, disturb me not, pray—lower your voice!
Of course, Salvator Rosa (1615–1673) was primarily a painter, but he was also an actor, a poet, a satirist and a musician. Nonetheless, the saucy little Canzonetta del Salvator Rosa is not his music, although the text may be by or about him. The work (originally for voice and basso continuo) is listed in The New Grove amongst the cantatas for solo voice of the once greatly celebrated Giovanni Battista Bononcini (1670–1747)—under the title of its opening line 'Vado ben spesso', and unaccountably described as unpublished. Liszt's version, undated, but at any rate completed by 1849, ranks as one of his lightest and happiest numbers, and exemplifies a catholicity of taste which does not differentiate between wholly original music and music based upon existing source material. The original text is laid out above the music:
Vado ben spesso cangiando loco,
Ma non so mai cangiar desio.
Sempre l'istesso sarà il mio fuoco,
E sarò sempre l'istesso anch'io.
I very often go about to various places,
but I never know how to vary my desire.
My fire shall always remain unchanged,
and so (therefore) shall I.
In adapting the Tre Sonetti di Petrarca for their final piano versions Liszt changed the order from the first publication, reversing the first two, so that Sonetto 47 happily takes up the chord with which the Canzonetta finished. The long introduction to Sonetto 104 is replaced with a passage almost identical to that in the first published vocal setting. The three pieces are intense love-songs rich in passionate harmonies, and generous in their melodic flight, and they have long been amongst Liszt's most beloved works. As was remarked in the notes to the earlier versions (in Volume 21), the sense of the poetry remains crucial to the understanding of the music, so Petrarch's original sonnets are given here, with translations.
Just as there is inconsistency between the title page and music head titles of the sonnets—in one place 'di' and the other 'del' Petrarca—the work commonly called the 'Dante Sonata' is described both as 'une lecture de' on the title page and 'une lecture du' at the head of the music and in the amended title on the manuscript. The original title of the piece was Paralipomènes à la Divina Commedia—Fantaisie symphonique pour piano, and the first version (which is in two parts) is probably what Liszt first played in 1839. A first layer of revision in the principal manuscript may well belong to the second projected title Prolégomènes (still in two parts), and Liszt seems to have performed a version of this work under the title Fantasia quasi sonata (Prolégomènes zu Dantes Göttlicher Comödie). A further, much more extensive layer of revision carries the final title and one-movement structure, but a good many final corrections and alterations were made at the proof stage to produce the present work.
The principal manuscript with its revisions in Liszt's hand is actually in a copyist's hand and contains several errors which went uncorrected by Liszt through the various stages of revision. Problem bars include: 65 (first left-hand group may be incorrect—the second left-hand chord should perhaps have a B flat instead of an A); 102 (second harmony should surely have E sharp—MS has a (redundant) natural sign); 255 (first left-hand chord should probably have an F sharp instead of an E); 262–3 (almost certainly B flats and hence E flat major—otherwise the augmented triad is the only such chord in the work in all versions, and it is a chord to which Liszt normally grants particular importance in a musical structure—furthermore, this theme is always extended elsewhere by common triads); and 297 (the right hand should certainly have G sharps on the third crotchet, as in the earlier version—the lack of them in the rewriting, which otherwise preserves exactly the same progression, is clearly a slip of the pen). (All but the first of these problem passages are rendered according to these observations in the present performance.)
Many commentators have essayed a description of the particular reading of Dante which Liszt has chosen to represent, although he himself gave no specific clues. (The case of the Dante Symphony is quite another matter: each movement represents Liszt's reaction to Inferno and Purgatorio, with a hint of Paradiso in the concluding Magnificat, and the musical text is laid out upon occasion to fit various quotations of Dante's work.) Clearly, the diabolus in musica tritone—heard at the outset, and at all the important structural junctions—suggests Inferno, and suggestions have been made concerning the Francesca da Rimini episode. But calling the reprise of what amounts to the second subject (10 bars of ethereal tremolo at bar 290) a representation of Paradiso as some commentators have done is surely wide of the mark, and the piece as a whole is much less celestial or purgatorial than it is relentlessly infernal. Formally, the structure is a much tighter sonata-form than the epithet Fantasia might suggest, and the musical form outweighs any attempt there might have been to convey a poetic narrative rather than just a general reaction to Dante's work.

The Evolution Deceit
Consciousness In The Cell
Can Your Kidneys Possess Medical Knowledge?
1. High
By themselves, the kidneys measure the number of red blood cells being pumped to them. Information determined by sensitive receptors is immediately evaluated, and measures taken accordingly.
When the kidneys determine a decrease in the red blood cell count, special kidney cells secrete a hormone called erythropoietin, which helps increase blood production. The hormone has its effect outside the kidneys, in the main blood production cells in the bone marrow. When this hormone communicates that the level of erythrocytes is low, the bone marrow facilitates the rate of production and release of erythrocytes into the bloodstream. This way, the quantity of red blood cells is kept in proper balance.
In short, the kidneys can make a number of measurements, evaluate information, and take initiative to apply the necessary precautions. And the hormone that has the duty of transmitting the message can travel through the body without getting lost, reaching the bone marrow without any problem or delay. Bone marrow cells also know how to decode the message the hormone sends them from the kidneys, and act according to this message.
Moreover, all these processes take place in every one of billions of people. In all of them, this cooperation proceeds in exactly the same way.
Throughout all of these processes, the cells display an evident intelligence and act as the disciplined and obedient components of a faultless organization. This situation begs the question of what the source of this intelligence and cooperation can be. No one can claim that cells possess this intelligence of themselves, or by happenstance. The One Who has inspired these cells with this intelligence and knowledge about how to act is God, Who maintains control over all things.
There is no power or might except God.
