Hi all, I'm installing a new wall light in my bathroom. There was not a light in this spot before, so I need to install an old work box as well as run wire. There is an existing light fixture that's about 6 inches to one side and 6 inches down from where the new light fixture will go. I'm not certain if this existing fixture is wired through the attic or through the basement; we have both in our house. This fixture is on the other side of a stud from where the new fixture will go. I cut the hole for the old work box yesterday, and it is close enough to the stud that I can reach in to notch or bore out a hole big enough to fish through the wire from the existing fixture (which I am going to remove). Or, I could try going through the attic or basement. I would hesitate to go through the attic because we have something like R-36 of expanding foam insulation up there, which is over the tops of the joists, and it would be a pain to cut through to get at the wiring (as well as reducing our attic insulation). The basement would be easier, and I believe the basement ceiling is open in the relevant spot. Of course, if it is run through the basement, it's possible there's not enough slack in the wiring to reach to a higher location on the wall... Any advice or suggestions on what the best / easiest approach would be? |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you are going to remove the old fixture anyway then unfasten it from the wall and see where the feed comes from. If it comes from the basement and there is enough slack then you may be able to re-use it, if it comes through the attic there may be so much adhesion to the insulation that it may be worthless, but the access to that wall cavity will prove valuable, both in fishing down to the basement and in "hand to hand" wire manipulation from the old location to the new one. |

Usually spray foam insulation is installed to the inside of the roof deck not tot he top of the ceiling. If you go the route of running through the stud, bore a hole rather than notching it. Note that even if you remove the existing fixture, unless there's a lot of extra wire in that fixture, you're going to be making a junction there and you'll need to leave that box accessible (blank plate or whatever). |

My approach is to plan as much as is possible the path in which the cable will be run before cutting any holes. A D'versibit might work well to drill a hole from your planned box location to the basement. Planning would include looking at the situation in the attic and locating the place in the basement overhead that is directly under the planned box location. The absence of such concepts suggests that this job should be contracted to a professional. |

I have a brick chimney. Alongside it is our old Giant Propane tank. I built a 3'W x 5'H picket fence section, stained it and used those heavy duty 7' long green fence posts (for chain link) to secure the section in the ground...there was not enough room to dig 4x4 posts in...at least on the left side anyway.
The sucker is likely fine as is but in a HEAVY wind I could see it how it could sway forward / backward. The fence section sits at an angle to the chiminey. I'd like to add a bracket to the center 2 x 4 on the fence section connecting it to the chiminey. That would prevent any sway. How can I affix my bracket to the chiminey....screw into the block...the mortar etc... |

You could attach a 1x4 wood strip to the chimney with cut masonry nails into the mortar joints, then screw the bracket into the wood, or you could use a hammer drill to make the holes necessary for some plastic anchors and attach the bracket directly. The masonry nails have no power to hold into the material, but they effectively pin it from side-to-side movement. You would have to determine if such a fixity suits your design. Anchors have side-to-side fixity and withdrawal resistance to boot. Casey |

tapcon screws attach into brick.. use masonary bit smaller than tapcon screw to drill pilot hole and drill to screw in tapcon screw just a thought. |

"I have tapcons....was not sure If I should go into brick or mortar though..." Either is fine sine you do not require an actual rated joint. Make sure you use the correct size drill bit for Tapcons, a drill at least 1/2 inch or so deeper than the screw will be inserted, and then blow the dust out of the hole. Oversize holes really weaken tapcons withdrawal strength. |

LOVE this eyeliner. I've had this on my wishlist for a while now and finally bought it during a Shu promo. It's an intense black that doesn't fade grey. It's long-lasting over eyeshadow primer (UDPP) and worn either over or under eyeshadow. Since I have monolids, I like using a thick line of this in a smoky eye and smudging shadow over it.
This is a deeper black than MAC Blacktrack and NARS Black Valley. I keep a Shu drawing pencil in my purse for touch-ups, but so far this gel liner has been quite long-lasting. It washes off easily with an oil cleanser (I use DHC cleansing oil).

It's such a shame that Shu Uemura isn't available in the US anymore and I couldn't have discovered their liners any sooner. My friend got me Blackish Satin Purple from the Karl Lagerfeld collection and I feel like I've wasted 4 years of my life on MAC's fluidline. The color is super gorgeous and super inky and pigmented, which means you have to be extremely cautious about how you put.
The amazing thing is that I only make one teeny-tiny dip with my brush and it's enough to last me for one day...actually it's more than enough because I wipe the excess on my hand. The only problem I have with this product is that, if I were to do a cateye or apply it widely, it smudges. Fortunately, I don't really do cat eye and I'm very simple with using eyeliners. Yes, it is a little expensive but it's worth the investment and Shu products usually don't disappoint.

I have tried a lot of gel/cream eye liners cause they are my favorite type than pencils/kohls and liquid. I've got some from high end to drugstore brands like Clinique, Bobbi Brown, Mac, Wet n Wild and Maybelline and so far after some time on using gel liners, this one worked for me the best. I live in a very humid country and I need a smudge proof and waterproof/cry proof true black liner. I need something that would just give me a peace of mind during the day that wouldn't let me check my eyes often in the mirror if I have globs on my tear duct and on the outer corners of my eyes and raccoon eyes. I love having that doll like look so I always apply this on my upper lash line and tightline. And this has not smudged on me or even transferred on my waterline whether I am out on a humid day or in an air-conditioned room the whole day. Stayed on and stayed black. Even had a nap with it on and nothing moved. And this is really stark black I must say. It is creamy and matte and glides on easy for me to control. It also dries quicker than Clinique and Maybelline, does not flake like Bobbi Brown, not so dry like the Wet n Wild (but also very good one) and does not fade on oily lids like Mac. I didn't have any bad reaction with it so far. It is expensive though for a smaller amount of product compared to the others. Will be trying the MUFE Aqua Black Waterproof Creme Eyeshadow next if it is tougher than my Shu.

i didn't want to review this as soon as i got it, because i didn't just want this to be a product rave.
there are pros and cons to this; firstly with the cons:
this is really expensive. £20 i got it for. then this is IMPOSSIBLE to correct mistakes with. you literally have to leave any mistakes there all day or just cover them up. this also means it is very inky and if it smudges anywhere like hands/anywhere else from the brush, it makes a big mess. it also really isn't a smooth, blendable product. it doesn't glide on smoothly like MAC or Bobbi Brown, and i almost feel like i have to dig my brush into it to get a nice portion. then lastly, the staying power of this is not the best, and i always find grey smudges on my lower outer corners even with Too faced eyeshadow insurance primer. i haven't tried this on my inner rims.
then with the pros; this is VERY BLACK! i'm happy with the pigmentation, however, you need to build it up to get the best darkness. it is matte, and does have that nice starkness that resembles liquid liner, that i love.
for £20, awkward application and smudging is disappointing, and i'm worried about when it begins to dry as well.
buy this only if you were curious about it, like me. it's a really enjoyable product and does look good, but i personally would favour Bobbi Brown if we are talking about staples.
will use it up but won't re-purchase.

I bought this in HK for HKD170, which converts to about SGD27. I was eyeing the Painting Liner for the longest time ever & on my trip to HK, I discovered how Shu Uemura is SOOOO much cheaper in HK than it is in SG, and happily hauled away.
This is definitely a HG product. It applied so effortlessly & didn't budge after an entire day of activities (including sleeping in the car). No more panda eyes! :D & it came off easily with the use of the Bioderma Sensibio H2O. Will definitely repurchase but I don't think there's a need to in the near future.

This liner is incredible... sadly it's not carried in the states in department stores anymore (i think b/c the creator passed away not too long ago). However you can buy it through shuumera-usa.com. This liner is AMAZING, stays on forever (make sure to get eye makeup remover or vaseline to remove) and is easy to apply. I bought mine in December 2009 and now will have to repurchase in July 2011. This lasted over 18 months and I use it EVERYDAY. So it cost about a dollar a month to use it daily... not too shabby! If you're even second guessing, just go for it. I will never pay for another brand again!

Owns this in black. I have been alternating between this and the Bobbi Brown Gel liner ever since I bought it. Its creamy in consistency, extremely easy to work with in a simple clean line. It has a very intense colour (no back and forth motion...) and dries quickly once its on and it stays on very well over my UDPP. No smudging to my outer lower corner in hot weather if I extend it past my lashes. I am in LOVE with this!

I have tried cliniques cream eyeliner and did not like it.
I have tried bobbi brown gel eyeliner and it's pretty good! Have re-purcahsed it many times..
I have tried this shu uemura paint liner and it stays put and last all day!
My TWO favourite: Shu Uermura Paint Liner and Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel eyeliner! Both are really good. I suggest testing them both out and see which one you like better because both are really great! I alternate between these two because I cant make up my mind which one I like better! LOL.
However, I found a dupe and its' Jane Be Pure Mineral Gel Eyeliner in drugstores! IT works just as great and for $9 Canadian!

I am absolutely delighted to review the Shu Uemura Painting liner.This is a high end product,which has a smooth formula and is highly pigmented.It dries quickly on me and lasts until I remove it.I apply with a Shu Uemura brush and can get many looks from it,from a soft day time look,to a 1950s winged look and many other dramatic looks.The formula glides very smoothly on me and I do have dry eye lids.I have worn this formula in quite hot climates and the formula has never failed to impress me.The painting liner comes in many different colours and I do own all of them,including the white one which can be doubled as a high lighter.
These painting liners can be used as bases for a classic smoky eye,the product will stay put and is ready for layering,as it dries quite quickly.It comes in a glass screw top and I have found that the formula has not dried up at all and I have had mine for some time.
You can choose which brush you wish to purchase and Shu Uemura offers many.The brushes can be described as the "rolls royce" of all brushes.They are definitely luxury items,and they do the job for you.I am unsure as to how the formula would work if you have oily eye lids however I would suggest that you try it in store prior to purchasing.

My review is based on the black colour.The packaging is small and cute; glass pot with plastic lid. This has a high rim perfect for flattening your brush on it. It's about the size of a regular bottle top.
The paint inside is creamy and dispite its density is very smooth and goes on easily, try not to make mistakes with this one because if you have paint on your brush you can be sure that your mistake will appear!
The lasting power of this liner is amazing (I don't have oily lids though) and I've never needed to reapply, that said make sure you have a good eye makeup remover. This is certainly one of the best pot liners I have ever used :)

An electrical device that had been installed expressly to prevent a power outage caused the Super Bowl blackout, the stadium's power company said Friday as it took the blame for the outage that brought the game to a halt for more than a half-hour.
Super Bowl ads: Budweiser Clydesdale, Joe Montana Tide commercials rank among Ad Meter top picks
CINCINNATI - The Super Bowl is as popular for the game as it is for its commercials and this year's selection was no disappointment with ads that ranged from the comical to the sentimental.
This year, Budweiser's commercial featuring a Clydesdale horse and its owner pulled at the heart strings of millions, giving it the No. 1 ranking in USA Today's Ad Meter .
The Ad Meter, which celebrated its 25th year, ranks the commercials based on votes from more than 7,600 panelists. The voters give each ad a score from 1-10 and then the scores are averaged and ranked.
The 60-second Anheuser-Busch ad called "Brotherhood" shows a heart-tugging bond between a trainer and the Budweiser Clydesdale he raised.
To watch the full ad, click on the video player below. (Note to mobile and tablet users: Open story in a browser to watch video.)
Coming in at a close second in the Ad Meter was Procter & Gamble's 60-second Tide commercial. Its ad showed a fan donning a salsa stain resembling football legend Joe Montana. The miracle stain gains attention and worship until the fan's wife — a Baltimore Ravens fan — washes the stain out with Tide.
To watch the Tide ad, click on the video player below. (Note to mobile and tablet users: Open story in a browser to watch video.)

More Super Bowl Stories
Officials of the Superdome and its utility company say they will hire outside experts to investigate why power failed for 34 minutes during the Super Bowl.
The three-week-old star of Budweiser's Super Bowl ad now has a name: Hope.
While authorities investigate the causes of the 34-minute Super Bowl blackout, documents show that Superdome officials were worried last fall about losing power at the big game.
The national ad critics were quick to the punch in getting their thoughts out about the Super Bowl ads out. On Monday, Cleveland-area pros weighed in, too.
Oh, now you want to win the Scripps Celebrity Super Bowl Poll? What are you, a wiseguy? Well, actually you are, or at least you played one on TV if you're Tony Sirico, this year's winner.
Between a partial power outage, overly excited quarterback and a game that suddenly turned from snoozer to sizzler, CBS had its hands full with the Super Bowl. The audience offered a final reward, though.
When the Baltimore Ravens scored one of its touchdowns at the Super Bowl on Sunday, hundreds of fans in Baltimore won free furniture.
It was a surreal scene as players and fans waited while Super Bowl XLVII was halted for 34 minutes due to a power outage in the New Orleans Superdome.
The Super Bowl is as popular for the game as it is for its commercials and this year's selection was no disappointment with ads that ranged from the comical to the sentimental.

Details man! That looks great.
Not sure what to add. It's three or four 20 second exposures stitched vertically of a fairly typical scene on a cool winter evening. White balance has been shifted to a cooler tone, and exposure has been boosted in software, but it's otherwise untouched. Actually, I look at a shot like this and compare it to the light pollution that zAmboni deals with and I feel pretty fortunate.
Cool thanks. I was just wondering if it took any advanced trickery to get the stars to come out that much. I'm thinking I should be able to get some really good star stuff around here if I don't get eaten alive by mosquitoes.

Once, during the increasingly distant days of my childhood, the best form of true adventure gaming was through interactive fiction or text adventures. These games offered no visual pictures, instead providing players with plenty of descriptive text to give them an idea of what was going on around them. Similarly, action was initiated by typing in instructions rather than moving around with a joystick. Infocom was one of the big names of this era and, now, iOS owners get to enjoy over 20 of their best titles through Lost Treasures of Infocom.
Bundling the original Zork game (a name familiar to fans of The Big Bang Theory, given its many references) for free, 26 other titles are available for the price of an in-app purchase or two. There's something for everyone too, with a wide range of genres catered for here, from horror to sex-farce (yes, really!). As Zork demonstrates, however, gameplay is similar throughout each title.
Arguably, the forerunner to the point and click adventure, the focus is heavily on understanding the environment around oneself and then interacting with it appropriately, in order to move onto the next area. It works well on the iOS screen, too. An on-screen keyboard pops up when the player wants to interact with the game. Autocomplete ensures that this isn't as tedious as it sounds, though, and makes things much quicker. Shortcut buttons can also be set up, and there's an on-screen compass for further ease.
It's this attention to detail that makes Lost Treasures of Infocom a cut above the rest and more than just a retro collection. It's a tribute to the days of Infocom with a whole section devoted to the 'feelies' of the games in the 1980s, offering a place to read manuals and any other bits and pieces that came in the original box once upon a time. Invisiclues offer a style of hint book, offering advice on what to do next. It's lovely to see, although I'd have appreciated being able to print some of the pieces out for easier reference.
Some classics are missing from this collection, most notably The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but license issues are to blame here rather than anything more sinister. Lost Treasures of Infocom is a delightful tribute to a fascinating time of gaming history. More impressively, the games still maintain an ageless quality to them.

As lifestyle and entertainment blog Brightestyoungthings noticed, our boy Ben Droz is on it. However, for personal and professional reasons he elected not to share many of the photos from the now infamous Danny Howell, Solomon Sanchez, and The Elders afterparty by Deep Secrets during his Labor Day weekend recap.
After some heated debate we decided to employ a good bit of discretion in releasing the remainder of the photos for the sake of all our budding political careers. Just know that all the daytime photos are the next morning after the 2:00am start. See you next time–DCPD permitting.

Story pick: 90 is the new 70
The one interview I regret never having done was of my grandfather, who was born in 1910 and immigrated to this country at the age of 8, alone and unable to speak the language. When he died, I knew little more about him than those vague details and what I'd witnessed in the small bursts of times we spent together in a garden he filled with Elephant Ear plants or in front of a television he seemed to have perpetually tuned to Spanish slapstick comedy shows.
That's what struck me about a series that ran last week in The Day, a Connecticut newspaper, titled "90 Is The New 70."
It focuses on those born between 1910 and 1920, when life expectancy was between 51.5 and 56.4, and how that population has become one of the fastest-growing demographics. The number of Americans who are 85 and older is expected to grow by 231 percent between now and 2050.
The series consists of six stories, each reading like an interview with a grandparent. The pieces are heavy on quotes, but in this case I think it works since we're tuning in to hear voices that might otherwise be lost.
The overall effect is one of sitting on the couch and having merely to listen to walk away with precious bits of insight. This one comes from Jim Hands, who at 96 has designed fabrics for clients ranging from the Lincoln Center to the White House. On designing the upholstery for a line of furniture created by Frank Lloyd Wright, Hands describes the famed architect as "pompous," along with a few obscenities:
"Don't quote me. There's a cult of people that like those leaky roofs. I'm serious about that. Any architect will tell you, 'My god, he can't build anything that doesn't leak.'"

"The King of Rock and Roll," who would have turned 78 on Jan. 8, is being honored by five entertainers who were selected as "Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artists" by Elvis Presley Enterprises. Scheduled to perform are: Cody Ray Slaughter, who is currently in the touring production of "The Million Dollar Quartet," and is the youngest person ever to be named an "Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist"; Brandon Bennett, who stars in the Chicago cast of the hit musical "The Million Dollar Quartet" and who also starred in the hit Canadian show "The Elvis Story"; Justin Shandor, who currently portrays Elvis in the touring show "Rock 'n Roll Legends"; Ben Portsmouth, current star of the European "Tribute to Elvis" tour; and Shawn Klush, named BBC Television's "World's Greatest Elvis," who will recreate Elvis's famed Hilton performances at the Las Vegas Elvis Fest during his appearance.

"Now, Elvis fans can see these performers live at one of the ElvisFestival.com events around the country.

Managing your brand on the Web is critical and even the strategies you employ to market your organization can influence your consumers. The evolution of SEO has made quality a priority and has also greatly reduced the success rate of "black hat" search engine optimization campaigns.
Why has Google cracked down on unethical tactics? While there are several definitive (and largely correct) answers to this question, the primary reason is often cited to be disruption of the user experience. Often times, strategies such as keyword stuffing or spun articles are an eyesore to users (and potential consumers) that may be looking for relevant and useful information.
Today, these not only impact rankings, but they can also lead to negative reviews and complaints from disappointed readers.
Avoiding Complaints
Online marketing firms such as WebiMax have weathered the Panda and Penguin updates and emphasize quality and originality when developing content. By applying our knowledge and philosophies to our client's campaigns, we have avoided complaints related to low-quality content or other black hat tactics.
It is essential for every business to understand the importance of quality within digital marketing and that "cutting corners" can lead to serious reputation concerns. Designing an SEO campaign with a strong focus on proven "best practices" will help to protect your brand from damaging user-generated content and diminished revenue.
What are your thoughts on White Hat vs. Black Hat SEO? Give us your feedback in the comments below or send your Tweets to @WebiMax!
You are your reputation.
Search engines are a great tool, but they add to the vulnerability when the wrong information gets exposed online. It doesn't matter whether the misinformation is from neglect, a disgruntled former employee or a jilted lover, the damage can be real and sometimes, devastating, both socially and to one's career. People finding the bad data don't stop to ask questions, they just make an assumption and move on. That can deprive you of opportunities, or expose you to punishing consequences.
Keywords and Citations are the language used by search engines to define who you are (Citations) and what's important to you and about you (Keywords). No one can tell search engines like Google what to do. All we can do is make suggestions, so talking the search engines' language can be a strong advantage.
Citations are just that – references to a bit of data, plain and simple. Just as your English professor used them to check on the accuracy of your term paper's quotations, so Google uses them to establish the credibility of bits of data, such as name, address and phone number. Google looks for exact match data, and applies trust to the data based on how many times it is accurate (and where it is listed).
Citations may arise as a tool in a hostile competitive or disinformation campaign. Bad data can be misleading, thieves may use false citations to steal business leads, or simply to confuse readers. Incorrect data can hamper local search results. Unwanted disclosure of some data, such as credit card numbers, or unlisted phone numbers, represents a vulnerability that it is best to defend against.
What Can You Do?
Google Alerts (www.google.com/alerts) is a free 'clipping' service that can send you E-mail alerts when particular keywords that you select are found on the web and newly arise in their search index. Your Business Keywords may be:
- your personal name,
- a unique brand-name,
- company name,
- product name,
- leader, officer, spokesperson,
- or even a competitor.
A carefully-chosen bunch of keywords (when limited by 'negative keywords') can feed a warning system for personal and business purposes. As new mentions of your keywords are crawled by Google on the worldwide web, you can click through to them and find out if the mentions are positive, negative or neutral. Each type of sentiment expressed requires its own strategy to profit from any interaction. Some times it is even better not to react at all. The key is knowing the difference, and for that it pays to gain knowledge from a Reputation Management expert.
An even-handier tool for personal use may be Me On the Web, https://www.google.com/dashboard/ (part of the Google Dashboard). It offers email alerts when your personal information (name, company name, home address, email address, phone number, etc.) is posted on the Web. It automatically includes things such as one's E-mail address. Even better, it includes guides to "Manage Your Online Identity".
To use it requires one's Google services log-in. Clients and prospects must be cautious when providing this to their Online Reputation specialist, potentially making this a strictly personal tool. Information that's confidential, embarrassing, or just plain wrong should be addressed by taking the time to click the "How to remove unwanted content" link to request the removal of a page from Google's search results. That way, one can reduce the risk of exposure of unwanted material.
An Online Reputation professional who is made aware of the undesired presence of personal information or incorrect listings in Google has strong tools at their disposal. They may apply effort to ProActively or ReActively alter listings in Directories or Business Indices in order to correct the data. They may add more and better Citations. They have experience in how best to respond to Comments and Remarks, whether complimentary or complaining. They may even advise on contacting Google or other methods to improve the situation. Results are tracked and reported on a regular basis. That way, the successful improvement of your Citations, Keywords and thus your Reputation will be clear.
And what of Social Media? Mentions on Social Networks can be utterly scathing, yet Twitter and other social sites' messages are not indexed by Google. How will you know what is being said about you? WhosTalkin.com is a search tool focused on social media sites. SocialMention.com is another, very fully-featured tool. If people are talking about you or your company on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or any of the 60 other social sites that these sites monitor, this service will help you keep tabs on those discussions. How to respond then is up to you. Time is of the essence… most complainers resist any effort to change their attitude after about 24 hours have elapsed.
Any good, ethical Reputation Management specialist can talk knowledgeably about your situation. Don't hesitate to contact WebiMax with any concerns you may have. After all, it's our reputation on the line, too!
My parents always told me not to care about what other people think of me. But, let's be honest–we all care a little bit.
Of course, we care what certain people think more than others. The high school quarterback's opinion means a little more than the captain of the chess club. Your CEO's opinion of you matters a little more than your average co-worker. From the lunch table to the conference room, let's face it–we care.
As far as the Internet is concerned, Google is the high school quarterback; they're the CEO. Their opinion means something. So if you're on the Internet–personally and/or professionally–you should, to some degree, care what Google thinks of you.
How Does Google Perceive You?
Google runs on relevance. You type in a term and it spits back information it believes to be relevant to that term.
Google also uses relevancy for its own gains. They display ads in your browser based on your search activity (if you're curious, be sure check out just how much Google knows about you–they're either shockingly dead-on or shockingly off).
Take a second to Google yourself and see what comes back. Google your company and see what comes back. Google words that you think are relevant to your company. This is what Google currently thinks of you–where they rank you and the sites they associate you with. Do you like what you see?
If not, don't worry just yet. There's probably a lot you can do to get the search results you're looking for and, essentially, get Google to change its perception of you.
Making Friends through SEO
If you own a website, whether it's a personal blog or your company's e-commerce site, you can improve the way Google perceives you through ethical optimization. They like that stuff.
To start, though, you need to know what Google looks for and see how well your site is currently optimized. This will provide you with baseline data for the elements Google looks at when crawling your site.
A few (basic) factors they consider include:
• Your link profile
• Site architecture
• Content
• Page Speed
When you address these issues and work to optimize your site, you'll find that Google likes you a whole lot more. And when the most popular kid in school likes you, you can bet a lot of other people will like you too (i.e. sales).
Managing Your Reputation
People love to talk smack on the Internet. Whether they're angrily writing a restaurant review or bad-mouthing a former employer, people love to vent in blogs and forums. Unfortunately, this form of therapy can negatively impact companies and individuals–usually for unjust reasons.
So, if you want Google to continue liking you, it's important that you manage your reputation. This means keeping your site in shipshape as well as keeping an ear out for anyone talking behind your back.
Through active SEO and by keeping a watchful eye over your name and your brand, you can protect your reputation online and be sure that you'll always be in Google's good graces.
Let's be honest, the SEO industry has been marred by scams in the past. Less than reputable companies would often promise things that there was no way of honoring and use unfair measures to attempt to keep their word in order to syphon more money. These promises included getting a company on the first page of Google rankings for a keyword within a short amount of time, saying they'll submit a website to thousands of search engines and, most comically, they have cracked the Goggle algorithm. All of these are not true, involve deceitfulness or require broad interpretation of the promise in order to live up to it. These are just some of the many ways SEO has been linked with scams.
So when SEO and scams are linked together, it is often because of this stigma against the industry. Luckily, the SEO markets has cleaned itself up – with the help of Google, which we'll talk about in a sec – and SEO is now a term that coincides with ethics and fair business practices. Businesses today can benefit from the help of Webimax and other SEO companies that have developed strategies that work within the guidelines put forth by different search engines. So what would a typical strategy include?
- On Page Optimization: The typical campaign will make it a point to take a look at the load times and other issues that may be off-putting to a visitor of the site. In addition, onsite content modification towards specific keywords and themes will allow those who are searching for specific keywords find your site.
- Offsite Optimization: This may include everything from guest blogging onto other sites, content that offers back-linking and more. The key is to build more authority to your page by building natural links back to your site.
- Social Engagement: Social signals are increasingly having a larger impact on search engine results and page hits. A typical social media campaign will include frequent updates, content enhancement, networking and more in order to bring your social engagement up.
These are just some of the many ways Webimax and scam don't go together. Google has indicated that scams and Black Hat methods would not be tolerated through algorithm updates that have penalized those with linkfarms, invisible content and more. Because of this, ethical SEO companies like Webimax are becoming an increasingly important part of SEO and internet marketing as the industry aims to clean itself up even further.
Defending your Good Name Is More than just a Smart Idea
The growth of the World Wide Web over the last decade has been a mixed blessing for businesses hailing from around the globe. Although every online advertising firm touts the strength of e-commerce, social media outreach, and viral marketing, there still exist a number of setbacks that can be truly damaging for a business in the online arena. Chief among these is bad publicity.
What's in a Name?
Although the old adage of there being no such thing as bad publicity has worked its way into common parlance, this saying is actually quite untrue when the web is involved. Due to the increasing reliance of smartphone and mobile device users on the internet for reviews and consumer reports, many companies find themselves losing significant business because of negative online interactions. These can include forum complaints, published articles, self-proclaimed "watchdog" blogs, and any other variation of internet content.
It certainly does not help that particular key terms are often incorporated into queries that consistently lead to bad press instead of official properties and balanced reviews. Let's take for example a company that we'll call "Biff's Book Store" (yes, you and I have seen the same movies). If someone is standing outside the book store itself or is looking for reviews for the store prior to traveling to it, then odds are they'll go to Google, type in the name of the business and add "reviews" or "complaints" to the end of it. This is what inevitably results in people finding overly negative reviews.
Sometimes well-respected review sites will populate the search results and other times it'll be random blog posts and forum replies that can be quite harsh. This isn't to say that sharp criticism may not be warranted of a particular business, but there are many occasions where outlying critiques set a bad precedent for how potential customers see a company. That's why reputation management services exist.
Managing your Good Name on the Internet
SEO companies and online marketing firms provide a varied selection of services to their clients and one of these is reputation management. In short, reputation management is exactly what it sounds like: it's a series of procedures and content creation techniques that downplay the negative feedback. This can be accomplished through a number of different approaches, but more often than not SEO agencies try to emphasis positive company reviews and highly ranked web domains (such as Glassdoor.com) so that they appear above negative results in the SERPs.
By implementing standard SEO procedures and a number of other techniques, reputation management providers are able to ensure that potential clientele will be able to look into a business and see well-balanced reviews appearing above unfair ones. This helps situate companies in a manner that prevents customer loss before interaction can ever occur. In our modern web-oriented age, this sort of preemptive approach to customer service is crucial to keeping momentum for businesses and is something that no company should be without.

I really like this brush. At first I thought I'd use this for blending crease color but I ended up using it for highlighting browbone and inner corners. It doesn't shed too much and for just $1 it's amazing bargain.

Like many of the brushes from the basic ELF brush line, the quality is mediocre. The brush tends to shed and it's generally cheap. But! I do like the brush and find myself using this for precision crease work and definition at both the inner and outer corners of the eye. It can really get into the space at the inner eye to apply a highlight, or apply a nice angle with a deeper color at the outer corner. I was pleasantly surprised by this brush, and at this price, it's one of the few in this line worth picking up.

I havent really found a use for this brush. I'm thinking about throwing it out to clear up some space. Its not really good at doing anything other than being a clean brush if i quickly need one when the rest are dirty. But even then i regret using it incase it sheds or applies the colour awkwardly. I like using the mac 217, real techniques base shadow brush and the elf c brush

Wow I can't even tell you how long I had this brush. I think I have 2 or 3 in my collection. Eye shadow is so easily to apply with this. I can make a defined cat eye edge or a soft every day look. It's so cheap too, and the brushes are so soft. I had this brush I think for 2 or 3 years now and hasn't shed. I don't know why people think the brush is scratchy I think it's so soft! It's easy to blend or make a precise edge you can't go wrong with this brush!

This brush was just alright for me!
I guess the way I apply my eye makeup, this brush just wasn't really necessary for me. It is nice for the occasional dramatic eye where I want to apply a dark shade directly to my crease, but I just don't find myself reaching for it very often.
If you are looking for a brush in this style, it's worth a shot! Cannot beat the price and it's a good starter brush I feel.

I originally bought this brush for my crease colors but I was not too satisfied. I can't really blend with this brush and the shape is just odd. I can't even use it for my lid because it's too small. I don't see the purpose of this brush but for $1 you can try it out and see if it works for you, as for me? It was pointless.

I love this brush. It is a nice wooden handle with a natural fiber brush and the brush is very soft and flexible. It does apply shadow well I like using this for the crease. It doesn't do precision though since the brush is too wide and soft but it works well for shading and shadows. I use this every day and love it. I will dig through my brush stash to find it I like it that much. I got a pack of ELF brushes that were in a set sold at Christmas time that were black handled and these are so much better so if you got that set please know that this brush is SOOO much better quality. All these white ELF brushes are fantastic, but skip the black set ones.

Bird softball has a new coach, Deanna Owens, and a new outlook for the 2014 season.
"Having a new coach really brought us together," said catcher Carrie Cochran. "The chemistry is unreal."
Cochran, a leader, calls her own games behind the plate while handling the defensive positioning with her instincts and great game knowledge.
Junior shortstop Stephanie Davenport is being recruited by James Madison, and is the teams top offensive threat and has excellent range at shortstop. Adding to the defense up the middle is second baseman Kim Ellis, who earned All-Dominion District honors last season.
Bird's outlook is brighter in 2014 due to Manchester transfer Casey St. Clair, who will serve as the Skyhawks staff ace.
L.C. Bird's boys of summer lost two key cogs- Bryce Harman and Austin Gammon, but return plenty of talent to the diamond in 2014.
"I really like the group we have this year," said head coach Doug Wagner. "We will compete in Conference 12."
The Skyhawks will be led by pitcher Logan Mills, who was the staff ace last season, and third baseman Darius Gillus is considered the team's best hitter.
Junior second baseman Corey Anderson who missed a portion of last year due a broken nose is ready to go, and has impressed his teammates in practice. Wagner also expects catcher Adam Bondurant and outfielder C.J. Henderson have great years.
After 3-15 and 3-17 years respectively for Meadowbrook softball and baseball, both programs are looking up for different reasons.
"The outlook is bright for our softball program," said Head Coach Mark Cooper. "This isn't the same program you'd hear about five years ago."
The Monarchs are led by senior pitcher Jenae Jackson who's played varsity three years. With little softball experience to begin, she's developed into a solid option for Meadowbrook.
A pair of underclassmen in sophomore second baseman Sydney Foster and catcher Kiera Randolph are both talented all-around players, the type that could follow in the steps of London Booker (NC Central) and play at the next level.
For baseball, fourth year head coach Drew Walker has his first squad that he's had multiple years with many of the players in the program.
"We'll play a better brand of baseball this year," said Walker.
That better brand of baseball starts with a strong senior battery in pitcher Anderson Gonzalez and catcher Taye Berry. Gonzalez is the team's most consistent pitcher and has the best control. When he's not pitching he's a versatile player in the infield. Berry, though a catcher, has great speed and bats lead-off. The team also rallies around shortstop Raquan Williams as a leader.

If any wild bird in our area deserves the title "photographer's friend", red-necked phalarope is the one. If you are willing to get into the water, they tolerate you to the point that they can bump into you when they do their swimming circles. Moving around is also not a problem and you can be pretty sure that if there is some nice light coming, you have a model to use it with.
P.S. As we have no NEWS section (yet) here is also some news I need to tell. One bad and one good. The bad news is that Serkan Gûnes has decided to leave NPB. We greatly appreciate his contribution and the lovely moments he shared with us through his photography in NPB. The good news is that Alex Mustard has joined NPB so there is still 15 of us to bring you a fresh pic every day.

Rossignol Angus Snowboard - Wide
Rossignol Angus Snowboard
This board is AMAZING. I have used it on crusty snow, slushy snow, packed powder, deep fluffy powder, etc. It excels in all conditions. The reverse camber plus amptek is an amazing combination. Great in powder, stable on groomers or hardpack, absolutely blasts thru crud, which on Mt Hood happens pretty early in the day. I have two other boards...a Burton Malolo with Cartel EST bindings, and a GNU Altered Genetics with Union Force bindings. My favorite snowboard is the Rossignol Angus (162MW). My favorite thing about it (aside from the sick graphics by Alex Pardee) is the consistency and smoothness of turn initiation on it -- smooth, deliberate and predictably precise. I love this board. Rossignol nailed the recipe on this one!
PS, Backcountry is equally superb -- great customer service, product selection and super speedy shipping. It's easy to tell they are trying to be the best and do things differently.

DC Judge Snowboard Boot - Men's
DC Judge rules
Awesome boot. I usually wear a size 10.5 street shoe, and size 9.5 ski boot and size 10 snowboard boot. I bought these in 11s...they run small. Best ankle hold/grip of any boot i've tried. total ankle grip without any pinching. lots of volume in the forefoot (maybe too much...and i have wide foot). Just stiff enough without being too stiff. Dual boa system is magic. works like a charm.

DC Judge
Tried on many different brands, and these were perfect from get-go. Right degree of stiffness, good lock/grip on heel (no slipping), comfortable, dual boa system for right amount of customizing fit, and very cool looking. They do run small though so go half to a full size larger than normal.

Clarkston, Michigan -- Belfor, the worldwide leader in disaster recovery and response, will present Michigan Task Force 1 (MI-TF1) with a check for $25,000 at 2:00 p.m. Thursday, April 21, 2011 in the parking lot of DTE Energy Music Theatre during a large scale Task Force mobility exercise. Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson will also be on hand.
"This donation by Belfor will help Michigan Task Force 1 maintain its readiness to respond to natural or manmade disasters in southeast Michigan," said Patterson. "Belfor's generosity exemplifies what can be accomplished through public-private partnerships."
This new public-private partnership with Belfor began when it graciously donated materials and resources for a large scale training exercise with three of the of the region's four Strike Teams last year in Westland, Michigan. Then, after Belfor's leadership team witnessed firsthand the effectiveness of MI-TF1's Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) response system during the tragic building explosion in the City of Wayne last December, they sought to develop a greater partnership with MI-TF1.
Belfor's proactive approach and compelling ambition in creating a long lasting public-private partnership with MI-TF1 will now allow the Task Force to fulfill its goal of providing a 24/7 response system for protecting and serving southeast Michigan.
The newly developed Michigan Task Force 1 Urban Search and Rescue team became operational in October, 2010. Now that MI-TF1 is fully response capable, the organization arrives at a new crossroad – how to sustain Task Force readiness in the absence of future federal grant dollars.
Current and future federal grant funding guidelines prohibit funds from being used to provide basic organizational needs such as fuel, insurance, equipment repairs, vehicle maintenance, and other day-to-day operating supplies.
To solve this dilemma, MI-TF1 has begun the process of developing community partnerships with both county and local government, as well as public-private partnerships with businesses such as Belfor. Currently, Oakland and Wayne counties and the City of Detroit have agreed to assist the team with annual funds.
MI-TF1 is comprised of 144 personnel, who have specialized training and resources for incidents needing complex search and rescue operations such as a building collapse, whether from manmade or natural disasters. The core components of the team are made up of cross-trained, dual role, firefighters that carry out rescue operations, combined with civilian members who serve as the subject matter experts such as heavy equipment operators, structural engineers, canine search specialists, and physicians.

GOD'S WORD Translation (GW) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Brothers and sisters, when I came to you, I didn't speak about God's mystery as if it were some kind of brilliant message or wisdom. | 1 When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. |
2 While I was with you, I decided to deal with only one subject--Jesus Christ, who was crucified. | 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. |
3 When I came to you, I was weak. I was afraid and very nervous. | 3 I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. |
4 I didn't speak my message with persuasive intellectual arguments. I spoke my message with a show of spiritual power | 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, |
5 so that your faith would not be based on human wisdom but on God's power. | 5 so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power. |
6 However, we do use wisdom to speak to those who are mature. It is a wisdom that doesn't belong to this world or to the rulers of this world who are in power today and gone tomorrow. | 6 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. |
7 We speak about the mystery of God's wisdom. It is a wisdom that has been hidden, which God had planned for our glory before the world began. | 7 No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. |
8 Not one of the rulers of this world has known it. If they had, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory. | 8 None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. |
9 But as Scripture says: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love him." | 9 However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"-- |
10 God has revealed those things to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches everything, especially the deep things of God. | 10 but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. |
11 After all, who knows everything about a person except that person's own spirit? In the same way, no one has known everything about God except God's Spirit. | 11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. |
12 Now, we didn't receive the spirit that belongs to the world. Instead, we received the Spirit who comes from God so that we could know the things which God has freely given us. | 12 We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. |
13 We don't speak about these things using teachings that are based on intellectual arguments like people do. Instead, we use the Spirit's teachings. We explain spiritual things to those who have the Spirit. | 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. |
14 A person who isn't spiritual doesn't accept the teachings of God's Spirit. He thinks they're nonsense. He can't understand them because a person must be spiritual to evaluate them. | 14 The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. |
15 Spiritual people evaluate everything but are subject to no one's evaluation. | 15 The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment: |
16 "Who has known the mind of the Lord so that he can teach him?" However, we have the mind of Christ. | 16 "For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ. |

Got a windows 8 laptop recently. I have had no problems wit it at all. I like the App set up on the Start screen, it's quite similar to the Xbox screen. Anyway I do like it and don't understand the objections to it. People just seem to dislike change.
Okay I have not tried the system, so explain something to me. If I'm on my computer and have google chrome open with a few tabs, Steam, Frostwire, and the Start button on the taskbar, and all I have to do to switch between them on 7 is click the icon on the taskbar, and all I have to do to see the desktop is click the icon on the taskbar of the program I'm currently using, how could no longer having that taskbar possibly be anything but an annoyance?
Nothing can be simpler, faster, or easier than a single click. A single click is literally the most convenient possible way to do anything on a computer. Who in their right mind would change this?
Also, I have an xbox. I'd love to have a taskbar on the screen.

see more Cycling Water Bottles & Cages
Each bottle has the NEW TE logos wrapping around the bottle. Available in white or clear. 21 oz with screw-on wide-mouth lid.
See product details & size chart.
Anona says:I know it sounds a little frivolous to be picky about waterbottles, but sometimes it's the details that really matter! Nothing kills my flow more than having a bottle top POP off in the middle a hot July criterium. This TE bottle is no-fuss and inexpensive. It's got a SECURE, screw-on top, with a wide mouth big enough to dump in scoops of recovery drink without spilling. The clear bottles keep me up to date on what is growing inside. The bottles are kind of supple, so they are easier to squeeze, especially when my hands are sweaty. The size is perfect because they fit in my smallish frame and in a jersey pocket. And, of course, they show off that TE pride!"
- screw top with tight seal
- wide mouth is big enough for ice cubes
- large soft pop-up valve is easy on your teeth, delivers excellent flow, and seals tight
- easy-to-handle, non-slip shape
- a smaller, more versatile 21 oz capacity size
- fits on full suspension frames, in a jersey pocket or a fanny pack
- food grade plastic will not allow flavors or odors to soak into the bottle
TE water bottles are manufactured by Specialized. They do NOT contain Bisphenol-A or phthalates, both of which have recently been suspected of being harmful to humans.

Quoted from Victoria It sounds like your body is detoxing from a less-than-pure turkey cocktail! It should pass soon.As our bodies get more pure, we react more quickly and more strongly to toxins, whether from avoid foods or from chemical additives. I'm glad about this, because it helps keep me on track! Keep drinking plenty of pure water.
Quoted from jeanb Funky metallic taste and no sleep = ketosis. As per Dr. D this is an especially good state for O's. Basically, instead of burning carbs for energy, you are officially burning body fat. Hydrate really well and the taste will gradually go away.
Quoted from jeanb For those peri meno nights, I take 5HTP (I know, not highly recommended for O's) but a couple of those babies and I actually sleep past 5:30 am!!!Sometimes I feel groggy when I wake up, but a quick bike ride or run usually shakes it off.I have tried GABA, but for some reason that makes me tired and drowsy and I can't shake it for days.
Quoted from Lola In general O's are better off boosting dopamine than they are boosting serotonin. Perhaps you should try a little L-tyrosine instead..

Chesterfield County officials are proud to announce that the county's triple A bond rating has been affirmed following an intensive review process by Moody's, one of the three major rating agencies. In the wake of the downgrade of the U.S. bond rating this past summer and their subsequent inability to address their numerous fiscal challenges, Moody's placed all of their AAA-rated localities on a negative watch, meaning that a rating downgrade was possible pending evaluations of each individual locality.
Chesterfield County has completed that process, and based on the county's relatively scant dependence on federal government-related economic activity, its diverse economic base, and its longstanding tradition of prudent fiscal management, Moody's has decided to remove the county from its negative watch list and fully reinstate Chesterfield County's status as one of fewer than 25 counties in the U.S. to receive the highest possible financial rating from all three major agencies.
County Administrator James J. L. Stegmaier noted the Moody's decision "not only grants Chesterfield County access to the lowest borrowing rates available, but also serves as a testament to the path the county has pursued through the recent financial malaise, and to the cooperative leadership of the Board of Supervisors, county administration, the school division and the local business community, which have proved that, unlike Washington, D.C., they can effectively work together to meet any challenge that might arise."

It could be argued that what Murakami is to Japan, conceptual artist Zhang Huan is to China, and RADAR includes three of his pieces: "1/2," a photo of the artist covered in calligraphy and wearing the ribs of an animal; "Pilgrimage," depicting a performance in New York where the nude artist is lying on a block of ice on a traditional Chinese daybed; and "To Add One Meter to an Anonymous Mountain," in which nudes lying face-down on top on one another are stacked to the height of one meter.
Beyond the two galleries housing Japanese and Chinese art is a set of galleries dedicated to American art, which is the largest part of the Logan collection -- and of RADAR. George Condo's take on Picasso, "Multi Figure Composition," looks great hanging next to the pop-art version of the Old Master painting "Field Guides," by Fred Tomaselli, in which a figure of a farm worker tilling the soil is surrounded by a spiral of butterflies, all of it done in collage using found printed images.
As with the Asian art, the Logans certainly had the money and vision to pick up major pieces by big British stars. And none of them in RADAR are more compelling than the three Damien Hirst works that survey the three periods of his meteoric career. I've never understood the appeal of his taxidermy, and "Philip (The Twelve Disciples)," a skinned animal head in a liquid preservative, does nothing to enlighten me. Lots more appealing is "Do you know what I like about you?" one of his color-field paintings adorned with preserved butterflies, and "Amylamine," a pattern painting using the dot shape of pills.
Around the corner is a sensational Matthew Ritchie, "Parents and Children," that includes a painted floor element in the form of a zigzagging platform, with large painted forms done directly on the museum's walls. In overall appearance, "Parents and Children" looks completely abstract, but like everything else in RADAR, it also has representational elements.
The Logans also collected German art enthusiastically, and a large part of RADAR is dedicated to these works. In one of the largest spaces within the Anschutz is another exhibition high point: the relationship of the two monumental metal sculptures from the "Grosse Geister" series by Thomas Schütte and the fifteen-panel painting "Gewinn," by Michael Majerus, that they sit in front of. The Schüttes look like abstractions based on the Michelin Man, and in a similar vein, the Majerus is covered with images of cutesy cartoon characters. Both artists make a case for how indebted to American art trends some German art is.
There's no way for me to point out all the interesting things in RADAR because the show is so vast. In fact, I recommend seeing it a few times and picking up the well-done catalogue, which features essays on each artist written by Gwen Chanzit, the other curator in the DAM's Modern and Contemporary department.
I have to confess that on my first time through RADAR, I felt the Logans' choices were terminally trendy. By my fourth time through, however, I had changed my mind. Instead, I feel that they are visionaries who have put together a panoramic view of the artistic times in which we live.

Also Known asKanda, PyaazDescription Onions may bring a tear to your eye, and pungency to your breath, but they will most certainly bring delight to your taste buds. The onion, known scientifically as Allium cepa, is, on the surface, a humble brown, white or red, paper-thin skinned bulb; yet, despite its plain looks, has an intense flavor and is a beloved part of the cuisine of almost every region of the world. The word onion comes from the Latin word unio for "single," or "one," because the onion plant produces a single bulb, unlike its cousin, the garlic, that produces many small bulbs. The name also describes the onion bulb when cut down the middle; it is a union of many separate, concentrically arranged layers. Onions range in size, color and taste depending upon their variety. There are generally two types of large, globe-shaped onions, classified as spring/summer or storage onions. The former class includes those that are grown in warm weather climates and have characteristic mild or sweet tastes. Storage onions are grown in colder weather climates and, after harvesting, are dried out for a period of several months, attaining dry, crisp skins. They generally have a more pungent flavor and are usually named by their color: white, yellow or red. Onions, being versatile in use can be - chopped, sliced, fried, cubed, grated etc. and used accordingly.

Sentencing for ex-Fiesta Bowl CEO delayed again
PHOENIX -- Sentencing for the former head of the Fiesta Bowl has again been delayed as he continues to cooperate in a state criminal investigation.
Former bowl Chief Executive Officer John Junker pleaded guilty to state and federal charges early last year. He admitted being involved in an illegal campaign-contribution scheme and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in the case.
Federal court records show Junker's federal sentencing has been moved from this week to June 24. Defense lawyer Stephen Dichter said Tuesday his client's state sentencing will also be delayed from April 24 to a date following the federal sentencing.
Junker was fired in March 2011 for leading a conspiracy where bowl employees were reimbursed for political-campaign donations. Investigations into former bowl lobbyist Gary Husk continue. He has denied wrongdoing.
