Osbournes End Their Feud With Lady Gaga
It was an epic battle of open letters and violent tweets, but it's all over now: The Osbournes have buried the hatchet with Lady Gaga, ending one of rock's weirder public feuds.
It was an epic battle of open letters and violent tweets, but it's all over now: The Osbournes have buried the hatchet with Lady Gaga, ending one of rock's weirder public feuds.
'Machete Kills,' Robert Rodriguez's follow-up to 2010's 'Machete,' ditches the grindhouse aesthetic and homage, and instead tries to emulate a late-'80s, early-'90s action flick -- basically, Rodriguez made the kind of movie he often makes. The result is an uninspired, joyless and oft-trashy exercise in self-indulgence. Rodriguez has spent his career making films the way he wants in his own backyard, and while you kind of have to admire the audacity of it all, the intent is questionable at best.
While most people would complain about the start of another fine work week, at least you didn't wake up next to a non-bangable pop star Sunday morning. Don't get me wrong, I didn't either- Thank heavens for that. Why the topic of non-bangable pop stars? No idea, it's Monday!
My long term committed secret girlfriend Lady Gaga is known for some wacky stuff. Recently her list of tour demands has been released and I fail to see the issue.
My girl Lady Gaga wants to put on a few pounds and I say it's totally fine. She can do what she wants as long as she eats sweets like she's in a rap video.
It seems like it's been a while since we've heard much from Lady Gaga. She's come out of her controversy coma, and hit us with an ad that features her, some little men, and not much else.
It seems like pop music is just a giant battle of who can be more ridiculous, rather than who can actually provide real talent. Nicki Minaj and Lady Gaga seem to be fighting over who can turn more heads with their ridiculous looks, rather than their ability to sing.
I knew that President Obama was a younger guy and not the traditional stuffy old president like we are use to, but who knew he liked to rock out to Lady Gaga? News to me. He does a pretty good job with it too. So when he no doubt leaves the oval office after one term, he might be able to take up a singing career at least.
There are some pretty bad Christmas songs out there, as I highlighted in a blog last week. Now I think I may have to add another to the list, the top of the list. Lady Gaga has a Christmas song and it makes me want to jam a knife into my head.
Queen is looking to fill the void left by the late Freddie Mercury, and Lady Gaga is being considered for it. Guitarist Brian May previously reached out to Bad Company leader Paul Rodgers, but now it looks as though the pop diva is at the top of the list.
Never has a headline had such a pleasing effect on me before. Read on and perhaps you'll get the same feeling of contentment.
The king of parody is back and in his latest effort he takes a shot at the attention grabbing Lady Gaga.

USPTO to Host World's Greatest Kid Inventor
On Wednesday, March 22, 2000, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will host the grand prize presentation ceremony for the Green Giant National Veggie Eating Invention Contest, a contest designed to educate kids on the important role vegetables play in a growing body.
The National Veggie Eating Contest is part of a yearlong celebration marking the 75th anniversary of the Jolly Green Giant, one of America's most recognized icons of the 20th century. The contest was open to children in kindergarten to fifth grade. To enter, kids were asked to submit a description, a drawing of a photo of an original gadget, tool or apparatus designed to make eating vegetables enjoyable. The six finalists won an all expense paid trip to Washington, D.C., to compete for the grand prize, a $5,000 Green Giant scholarship. Five national finalists will each win a $500 scholarship.
Q. Todd Dickinson, Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks, and Anne Chasser Commissioner for Trademarks, are among the panel of judges who will choose the grand prizewinner from among the 6 finalists.
"Green Giant and The Pillsbury Co. should be proud of the work they are doing with children to spur invention," said Q. Todd Dickinson. "One of PTO's goals is to reach out to our future and provide children with the tools they need to be creative, sparking growth in intellectual property for years to come. This contest does just that."

Over 6 million patents have been issued since the first patent in 1790. Last year PTO issued 161,000 patents and registered 104,000 trademarks.

I recently moved to Colonia San Rafael in Mexico City. It is a beautiful and charming neighborhood that was established in the late 19th Century as one of the first formal neighborhoods outside of the city center. A neighborhood that catered to the wealthy in the Porfiria Diaz era, the beautiful buildings and facades that still grace the streets of Colonia San Rafael speak to those long-ago days of glory.
Whenever I move to a new neighborhood, one of the first things I look for is the local market or tianguis. As I've mentioned many times before I love Mexican markets. They're still a very important part of life in Mexico and you can find almost anything you need for your house in their narrow and colorful aisles.
For the last two months I've been doing most of my grocery shopping here. With every new market experience, you try to get to know the layout and the best vendors to buy produce, meat, cheese, etc. This past weekend I decided to take my notebook and camera and talk to some of the vendors I already knew to find out more about the market and its history. My first stop was Quekas San Cosme, a little establishment that has been selling fried quesadillas, tostadas and pambazos for decades. My friend Marco had first introduced me to this amazing little jewel last year and I've gone back many times ever since.
The market was founded on November 23rd, 1902 by Porfirio Diaz, then president/dictator of Mexico. It was originally at the corner of Cipres and Ribera de San Cosme, a couple of blocks west of its current location. The grounds where the market sits now used to be a cock-fighting ring. Then circo Atayde, one of the oldest circuses in Mexico, bought the grounds to set up there.
Finally, in 1953 under Ernesto Peralta Uruchurtu, then head of the Department of the Federal District, Mercado San Cosme was moved to its current location as a part of a project to build bigger and better markets. "Originally," Mr. Franco tells me, "the market was de galeras just like the Merced market. " The market was open and only covered with sheds, but after a severe hail storm and some problems with buildings sinking in the unstable soil (this part of the city sits on top of what used to be a lake), they built the stronger structure that makes up the market today.
"It is a beautiful market," my chicken vendor tells me while she cuts a chicken breast in two. "The aisles are wide, it's clean and it's not as crowded like other markets in the city. There are things that need to be fixed, like the floors, the ceiling and a new layer of paint, but overall, this is a very beautiful market." I would personally add that all of the vendors I've purchased from have been very pleasant and very helpful.
"Have you lived here in Colonia San Rafael all your life?" I asked.
"No, here," he states and points to the market entrance, smiling when he sees the confusion on my face. "There used to be a vecindad (tenement house) next to the cock-fighting ring and I grew up there. Then the circus came and we worked for them. You should've come last Tuesday for the market anniversary. We had a picture exposition of the market history."
I tell him that I'd love to see the pictures some day and he invites me to come back another day during the week so that we can sit down and have a chat about the history of the market and the colonia. "A lot of famous people used to live around here." He gives me a long list of names, and I recognize a few actors, actresses and politicians. I promise to stop by in one of my next visits to the market.
Before heading back home I stopped at one establishment that has always intrigued me every time I walked by. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

to DWT, Kelleek!
I didn't sign up, but if I remember the promotion correctly that was the one that gave you bonus points on purchases of certain types after your purchases in a few limited categories was more than a high ($600?) amount for that month. Did Chase confirm that you had met the requirements and jumped through the right hoops to actually have earned the bonus points?
If you did, I'd love to hear how you made this promotion work for you! I'm a pretty heavy user of my Disney Visa, but I still wouldn't have even come close to what they were asking to qualify for the bonus.
Good luck!

So Hot They Needed A New Color
Here we are, warming up as we head through the week... but it's so hot in Australia that they had to add new colors to the weather map!
The color added: deep purple! And it stands for 129.2 F
It's a brand new shad that the Australian bureau of meterology was forced to add to it's heat index because it's soooo hot down under.
Their previous record high was 50.7°C (123°F), recorded in 1960 at Oodnadatta Airport in the southern part of Australia — very close to where the new shades of hot are showed up yesterday.
To give you an idea of just how uncomfortable this Australian heatwave really is, consider that at just past midnight, it's 95°F in Sydney. Doubly scary are the giant fire risks that come with the heat — risks so severe Australian officials are taking no chances and labeling the warning "catastrophic." "A 'catastrophic' warning carries the risk of significant loss of life and the destruction of many homes, according to the NSW Rural Fire Service," reports CNN.

Since spring is almost here, I thought this would be a great time to share your favorite outdoor cat story.
One of my favorites: I was a college student in London. I heard a bird screaming. It was a blackbird perched on an iron fence that surrounded a small front yard. (English blackbirds are like our robins.) Below the screaming blackbird was a fledgling; evidently its baby. It was being stalked by a cat. I banged on the fence, yelled to flush the cat, but it was focused on the baby. It rushed at the baby, I turned away and the parent bird kept screaming. That sure made me appreciate cats' hunting skills! What's your favorite outdoor cat story? |

It is much better to ignore the trolls than become one. |
AnneMarie, Why not? If keeping cats outdoors is such a good idea, why not have a thread like this? I want to know the wonderful things that happen when cats are outdoors. Also, it seems like anecdotal information (like, "I have birds in my yard, and my cats roam!" Or "I never saw my cat kill anything!") seems to be the basis science for some, so I am sharing my anecdotal information. This is satire, and satire serves to underline the ridiculous and hypocritical. |

Elly, This latest thread (added to the ones I won't even mention)keeps haunting me. I keep wondering : what has happened to you, Elly, "Sofie's Mom'!! I do remember Sofie.. Yes, I am an "old' regular (been on this forum for about 4 years, and posting often--I've been exchanging with most of you on CAT issues -don't know enough about dogs). I stick to cat issues, and keep reading cat threads regularly, and contributing whenever I can. Yes, I am more involved with FELINE yahoo groups now. They are civil. They don't think cats are responsible for all bad things on this earth. If you are really interested in GOOD outside cat stories, I have 2 for you (one Spring one, one winter one). I would have many more, but you asked for the favorite. 1. We did let our very first cat (MY) Sofie) out part of the day, always in at night. Well one night at the end of March, he did not come in when called. Big (freak)Snowstorm followed. Countless sleepless nights and searches around the neighborhood. 25 days later (I could have counted the minutes), he came home very, very early in the morning. A skinny cat but he knew where his home was. I probably woke up the whole neighborhood with my cries of JOY!! We all assumed he had been stuck in someone's garage while hunting for MICE. That was 14 years ago, but it is SO fresh in my mind! #2. I saw a stray cat eating from our garbage last December at 5:OO AM on a very, very cold morning.. Started feeding him (outside) of course, never found his family. He was very skittish, and we've had a very HARD winter here. It took me hours of sitting near him in the cold to finally bring him inside 6 weeks later, and yes you guessed it.. he is our 6th cat, and he has not shown any interest in going outside again. A rescued, great cat, and a few rescued (?) birds (not agile enough for them), but agile enough for mice and voles! Elly, this said, I do hope your shunt liver kitty will be OK after surgery. Anne-Marie |

I have so many, it's hard to recount them all here. I used to live next door to some folks who let their cats outside all the time. It was wonderful to see them playing with mortally wounded critters, whiling away their time in the great outdoors. They really enjoyed freezing during the day while their owners were at work...I remember Winky lifting one paw, and then another from the icy driveway. Good times! My current neighbors let their cat out for fun time adventures...unfortunately, he ended up beneath the tires of somebody's car. Poor guy. He died doing what he loved, though. |

It would seem a 'favorite cat story' wouldn't be a morose one but maybe those are the only favorite stories you have. I have lots but one is the day my dog found a starving kitten and brought her home to us. She was at this kitten's side all during the time we nursed her back to health and they became great friends. That kitten grew up to have her own litter. The two dogs stayed beside the basket as she gave birth and were very protective of the kittens as they grew. Because these kittens had the love of their dogs from birth, they play together/sleep together and are certainly bonded. The two 5 yr. old cats also grew up from birth with dogs (and chickens, but that's another show) and also are close with them. We never went out of our way to have cats but as most rural people know, you acquire them. All 7 cats are neutered and spayed but I know we will soon have more. |
I'm sorry, but I must be in the wrong place. That kitten grew up to have her own litter. The two dogs stayed beside the basket as she gave birth and were very protective of the kittens as they grew. |

just took a photo of a beautiful flowerbed in an older part of town; there were some cute little cobalt blue flowers whose names I don't know, & 3 kinds of daffodils: pale yellow, a beautiful white, & sine ivory or off-white ones with peach-colored trumpets or cups. Dontcha love daffodils??? |
not long after i got my third great dane, we were all out for a walk. we usually walk the field roads and sometimes take a short cut through the timber on our way home. this particular time, bentley honed in on something partway up a tree. i figured it was a possum or something. my dogs are off leash because we live in the boonies. the dogs had run ahead of me. as i approached the tree, all 3 dogs were frantic. i looked up to see a young cat. before i could even blink, it jumped from one branch to another. too bad he wasn't more adept. he missed the second branch and didn't even hit the ground before he was in bentley's jaws. it was quick. the dogs ran on ahead of me. when i got to the back yard, 2 of them were playing tug with the dead cat. i don't think this cat belonged to anybody. let me put that another way. this cat, along with its littermates i am sure, belonged to somebody who simply didn't want to take care of them so they were dumped out here, something that happens often. usually, they get hit in the road or starve to death or end up as a coyote's breakfast. so, for those of you who think outdoor cats are ok, you live in a dream world. |
Yes dogs kill cats quickly. Grab by the neck and a hard shake and it's over. Cats kill rabbits the same way. Humans kill their pets slowly over years with less grace and compassion. The dogs and cats are simply responding to their inate prey drive. What are humans responding to? Misinformation from commercials and TV shows and forums for the most part. |

Who Likes Noisy Videos?
Posted By Mona H On March 16, 2010 @ 7:00 am In Photo Tips | 4 Comments
Have you ever made a seemingly great video, only to later be disappointed by all the noise in the background? There's always noise around us that we don't usually think about because it surrounds us constantly.
(Image by Laurie-B [1])
That noise might come from an airplane flying above you, a loud air conditioner, passing cars, or even your computer. It's easy not to notice this noise when you do your day-to-day activities, but it sure does stand out loud and clear when you watch your videos later on!
(Image by Elliot G [2])
You can't always do much about this noise when you're outdoors or at a restaurant, but here are some basic tips on how to manage the noise around you when shooting video:
Some of these tips might seem silly or obvious, but I encourage you to try them out. They're almost guaranteed to make a difference in the sound quality of your video, and hey, that's one step closer to shooting better video!

Now let me be frank…
As you know, the IYCA is not about hype or fluff. It's not teaching 'Increase Your Vertical 18 Inches in 4 Weeks". We are not about 'magic pills' and "no work" types of programs.

The system that these 11 top coaches created…
Whether they're working with Major League All Stars or an energetic group of 6-9 year olds, the top coaches in the field are using variations of this complete athletic development system to help the people they coach reach their full potential – and to build the type of income and freedom they so richly deserve – and you can gain access to this same system in Complete Athlete Development 2.0 Digital.

It's about giving you the tools to develop complete athletes. Walking you through everything step-by-step. Helping you implement the techniques you learn and make them work.
Digesting this comprehensive program is going to require a little work – but it is also going to be a lot of fun (watching yourself make huge progress always is). Just listen to what some of those who've already experienced the power of CAD 2.0 have to say:
The IYCA has been a great tool to understanding how to train kids of all ages and all abilities. As an Olympian I know how to train physically and mentally to get the most out of myself. I hope to be able to pass that on to the next generation. The IYCA is helping me down that path by providing me with the knowledge and experience to meet the kids where they are at.
Trevor Marsicano
2010 Winter Olympic Silver Medal
Just wanted to let you know that the IYCA is amazing! You are an inspiration to me and all the coaches that want to get better. Keep up the great work!
Frank Candela
In my opinion, becoming a member of the IYCA has been the best decision I have ever made in the 20 years of my training career. The certifications that the IYCA offer have help me become a better coach and trainer to my young athletes. In my opinion every coach and trainer who works with children should be required to have the IYCA youth fitness certification.
George Maoury
"The content contained within the IYCA materials provides the most technical, practical and applicable education that I have EVER experienced with any program."
Donovan Owens
The difference between the top coaches in the industry… and your current situation may seem great right now.

You're willing to take action.

From BEAM Robotics Wiki
A somewhat derogatory term used by builders of microcontroller based robots to describe any robot that does not incorporate a microcontroller, microprocessor or any other type of programmable digital controller.
Typically these robot consist of simple sensors (such as bump switches or photocells), and a transistor or two that cause one or more of the robot's motors to be turned off or on, or to turn in the opposite direction.
The example on the top-right is a Dumb-bot that can follow a line. The wheel on one side is larger than the other. Consequently this simple bot tends to turn, rather than go in a straight line. When the line is detected, the motor driving the larger wheel is turned off. As a result, the robot turns in the opposite direction. When the line is no longer detected, the robot again turns as before, until the line is again detected. This behavior allows the bot to creep along, following the line.
Another example of interesr would be Seleno, The Electric Dog. This machine was designed and built in the earliest part of the 1900s, and thought today it would be describe by the more digitally minded as a dumbot, in its day Seleno was considered a breakthrough in guided mechanisms and proof that intelligent behavior was actually the result of relatively simple processes.

Winona County Sheriffs deputies and Winona Police officers worked through the night on Friday morning to uncover a trove of illegal drugs and stolen goods at a Fischer Hill Drive residence east of Plainview. Officers carried out a search warrant at around midnight. According to the report, they found 96 pills that tested positive for amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, 7.8 grams of psilocybin mushrooms, what appeared to be LSD, and 45 grams of THC (the pyschoactive chemical in marijuana) and psilocybin candles. Deputies also found a two-wheel trailer that had been reported stolen and two all-terrain vehicles that are suspected to be stolen. Investigators are looking into whether other items found, including numerous tools and equipment, may match the description of items reported missing during recent burglaries.
The residents, Gabriel Orion Lowther, 37, of Plainview, and April Faye Lewis, 34, of Plainview, were arrested and referred for third-, fourth-, and fifth-degree controlled substances crimes, respectively. Lowther is also being referred for possession of stolen property. Lowther and Lewis were both in custody at the time of the report.

Date 2003-08-01 Availability unrestricted Abstract In this study a linguistic investigation of the traditional colour terms of Northern Sotho was carried out. The research comprised three separate phases. In all three phases two aspects were emphasised, namely, the nature of the concept underlying each colour term and the nature and extent to which the selection requirements of the term affected the antecedent. In the first phase, the definitions of selected colour terms, as given in three standard Northern Sotho dictionaries, were studied and compared. These dictionaries included: Pukuntšu, The New Sesotho Dictionary and the Groot Noord-Sotho Woordeboek. Special reference was made to (a) the description of colour as given in the definition, and (b) the selection requirements with regard to the antecedent. The concept "colour term" itself is problematic as the definitions of these terms encompass more than mere references to colour. When comparing the definitions of these terms in Northern Sotho dictionaries, however, little unanimity could be found regarding: (a) the the concept underlying the colour terms, and (b) the selection requirements of these terms in respect of the antecedent. In phase two, six mother-tongue speakers of Northern Sotho were interviewed. The descriptions of the colour terms provided by these respondents were then analysed in the same manner as that of the dictionaries. The informants were all professional people with notable linguistic ability and knowledge of livestock. An Electronic Data Base (compiled by the Department of African Languages, University of Pretoria) was consulted in the third phase of study. The objective of this phase was to collect data on the frequency of use of these colour terms and in light of this to make deductions on their selection requirements. Finally, a synthesis was made of the information collected during the three phases. As indicated above, this is a practical study falling within the ambit of the science of language-usage. At most it can be claimed that the conceptualisation of colour and the manner in which it is reflected in language, has a psycho-linguistic basis. As a result of the nature of the study, it could not always be carried out within a strict theoretical framework.

An eight month old baby boy made headlines in Colombia on Tuesday after weighing in at over 20 kilograms (44 pounds), three times heavier than an average child of that age.
Tipping the scales as 21 kilograms (46.3 pounds), the tubby tot, Santiago, has been put on a strict diet by doctors to get his weight down to around 8 kilograms (17 pounds).
Santiago will be taken off formula milk and fed vegetables and juices as part of the diet.
Santiago's mother, Eunice Fandino, sought the help of a charity that tackles obesity in Colombia after she noticed the baby had problems moving about due to his weight.
According to a foundation there is no medical reason for Santiago's weight gain – he has just been overfed.

The vibrant, yet diluted images that Mihail Ivantsov produces within his 'Ink' photography truly are one of a kind. With no two images looking quite alike, this Ink photography by Mihail Ivantsov keeps viewers guessing capture by capture.
As opposed to focusing solely on black or blue ink, Mihail Ivantsov ventures into colorful green, purple, and red inks to produce radical underwater photography. These captures truly do look like something out of a science book or sci-fi movie, and yet they are poetic and artistic in their own right.

Safely deleting data
Backups are a common topic, but you'll hardly hear anyone mention safe data deletion.
Your old hard disk is full up to the brim with data, and you are thinking about buying a new disk. To reduce the impact on your family budget, you decide to sell the old hard disk via one of the many online auction sites. In the course of time, your whole family will have left personal traces on the disk – and of course, you would prefer to remove personal documents, letters, dismissal notices, applications, photo albums, and access credentials from the disk. Luckily, you have Linux, and a one-liner at the command line is all it takes at a pinch.

Sen. Hillary Clinton is banking on a big win over Sen. Barack Obama in West Virginia's Democratic primary on Tuesday.
But even if Clinton does win in the few remaining states, she won't be able to pass Obama in the delegate count. The math is now nearly impossible to work out in her favor.
That's why many political analysts are saying Obama has essentially sealed up the Democratic nomination.
But the Clinton camp is still showing no signs of backing down, arguing that she's the best candidate to face Republican John McCain this fall.
"Hillary Clinton in the general election can beat John McCain," said Clinton Campaign Chairman Terry McAuliffe. "She beats him in Florida. She beats him in Ohio. She beats him in Missouri."
"She says 'full steam ahead,' but her problem is that she's running out of track," said David Gergen, former White House adviser to Presidents Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Clinton.
While campaigning in West Virginia on Mother's Day, Clinton quoted Eleanor Roosevelt, telling a crowd of supporters: "A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she is in hot water."
Obama to Florida, Michigan
Meanwhile, Obama's campaign on Monday announced he will visit Florida and Michigan. The Illinois senator is beginning to focus on a general election strategy.
It will be his first time in either state. He pledged last year not to campaign in the two states that violated national party rules with early primaries.
It will also give Obama a chance to build relationships in the two critical general election battlegrounds, if he wins the Democratic nomination.
The Obama campaign announced a five-state tour over the next two weeks that includes stops in remaining primary states South Dakota and Oregon.

BERLIN (AP) - Germany has dismissed a claim by NSA leaker Edward Snowden that it bowed to U.S. demands to water down legal protection for German citizens.
Snowden told the European Parliament in a statement published Friday that Germany was pressured to modify its legislation on wiretapping and other forms of lawful telecoms surveillance.
The former National Security Agency contractor didn't elaborate on how the laws were changed or when, but suggested it was standard practice for the NSA to instruct friendly nations on how to "degrade the legal protections of their countries' communications."
Government spokesman Steffen Seibert said Monday that Germany's parliament "doesn't give in to outside pressure, certainly not from foreign spy agencies, and that's true in this case too."

Sullivan Flotation Systems completes marina project
Posted onSullivan Flotation Systems recently finished a major rebuilding project at the Guilford Yacht Club on Connecticut's West River, which leads into Long Island Sound.
F&P Development Group of Milford, Conn., awarded Sullivan a contract last August to handle the design, construction and installation.
"The Sullivan team worked through just about every weather condition imaginable to meet our aggressive replacement schedule and to make this project a reality for the 2014 boating season," F&P Development's Trey Pratt said in a statement. "Plus, they anticipated all site conditions, so the plan worked without issue, even with the worst weather in decades."
Pratt said the new design required Sullivan to rebuild the entire marina around existing piles.
"Since some of the piles were recessed within the docks' structural framing, Sullivan's designers had to create open-ended finger piers that could be finished on site. This innovative solution eliminated the expense of removing and redriving piles," he said.
The decking on the pre-engineered wood system consists of Grey Composite non-skid material with a custom recessed border. Additional features include large aluminum cleats, black vinyl dock fenders, large gangway landing platforms and triangular finger corner gussets. The completed marina includes 145 slips ranging from 35 to 65 feet.

Hi, On tv I've seen designers/home owners go through thick books of fabric and material swatches, does anyone know the type of store that would have them? I've looked in a JoAnn Fabrics Superstore, but nothing really caught my eye. I'm looking for some curtain and pillow material. I want a large repeat, maybe floral or tropical, but a "Modern" one and nothing too feminine. Vintage material use to have some interesting designs, but hard to find now a days. Any ideas? Thank you. Jos |

The larger Joann's have hanging fabric samples that are special order only. These are decorator fabrics. Or you could go to a decorator and look at their books. Kathy G in MI |
Some Hancock's fabric stores have a decorator department. |

Stores that offer home decor made to order (curtains, slipcovers, etc.)have those swatch books. & yeah - interior decorators have 'em for sure.... |
Thank you for your help. I'm in the Fort Lauderdale area and I must be doing the wrong online searches. I've called a couple of Interior Designers, but getting an answer from them was difficult because they spend the entire conversation trying to make an appointment at my house when all I want is to look through their book of samples. I will keep trying, eventually something will come up. Thanks again. Jos |
Hancock's of Paducah (not the same company as Hancock's) - has on-line catalogue and will send you an actual catalogue - very good quality fabric. Carolyn |
If you're in Florida, check www.bocabargoons.com. They have home dec fabric and multiple locations in FL. |
another vote for Boca Bargoons and a link to Calico Corners. |

I omitted the nuts and made my own version of this chicken by brushing it lightly with Italian dressing and extra virgin olive oil before I baked it.

An increased incidence of highly malignant gliomas, termed glioblastoma multiforme has been observed in Rhesus monkeys irradiated with 55 MeV protons, and in humans treated with therapeutic irradiation to the head. The results suggest a radiation etiology for these tumors. In this paper, we review briefly some characteristics of glioma tumors, and summarize the genetic changes associated with malignant gliomas in experimental animals and in humans. The genetic abnormalities include cytogenetic alterations, and changes in the structure and expression of specific oncogenes. We discuss the potential for these genetic changes to contribute to several putative mechanism leading to aberrant growth stimulation and, ultimately, to tumorigenesis. In addition, we review briefly some recent data concerning the molecular nature of radiation‐induced somatic cell mutation and oncogene activation, and discuss the significance of these results for the radiation etiology of malignant gliomas. Finally, some implications of these results are discussed in relation to human radiation exposure in space.

A couple of days ago I got off my arse long enough to go check out Scott Pilgrim VS The World. It totally knocked me out. It's an absolute thrill-ride; packed with OTT battles, quotable quips and awesome tunes. I'd recommend you see the movie, as not only is it one of the year's best, but you'll get the full effect of the blistering soundtrack.
OSTs are a curious thing. It's rare to find a compiled movie soundtrack that is more hit than miss. Sure, we've had a few good ones over the years. Juno had plenty of nerdy, too-hip-for-their-own-good acoustic numbers, whereas Death Proof provided us with the perfect bar room mix. Besides those, it's a very short list…one that you can add Scott Pilgrim to.
The interesting thing about this soundtrack is that some of the songs – performed by reputable Canadian artists – are based off the comic book series. Bands took Bryan Lee O'Malley's fiction and made real songs from it, remaining faithful to the feel of his work. Indie kook Beck does a stellar job of interpreting the songs of Scott Pilgrim's own band, Sex Bob-Omb; Garbage Truck and We are Sex Bob-Omb prove to be two of the best tracks on here. Metric contribute ass-shaker Black Sheep to the mix (attributed to the mega-famous band of Pilgrim's ex-girlfriend, The Clash at Demonhead, in the movie), adding an interesting hipster slant to compliment the raucous garage-rock of Beck's tracks. However, the most impressive thing about this soundtrack is the eclectic work of Broken Social Scene. For over a decade this band have pushed pop boundaries, and they write the songs for Crash and the Boys, a local rival band of Sex Bob-Omb. Their barbed song titles (I am Sad, SoVery, Very Sad etc) provide some comedic heft in the movie, I am Sad… being about a second long. We Hate You Please Die is an aggressive and entertaining effort, showing a side of BSS that hasn't really been seen before.
Broken Social Scene also contribute the best song here, their very own Anthems For A Seventeen-Year Old Girl, which provides a laid-back relief from the pounding rhythms of the other tracks. The song's looped vocals and heavily-synthesised vibe are truly fantastic. It's disappointing, then, that the other "real" songs are not quite up to scratch. Sure, they're mostly fine, Plumtree's Scott Pilgrimis a brilliant slice of Grrl Rock, but tracks by T-Rex and The Bluetones signal a dip in quality. The soundtrack's real strength lies in its quirky catchiness, yet there are a few songs that only serve to kill the party. No matter though, because as far as movie soundtracks go, this is a winner. Check out the comics, check out the movie, then get your hands on this, because all 3 are riotously entertaining.

Regardless of what some high-profile SEO bloggers might say regarding manual link-building and paid links, I still think they have their place. It is careless to inculcate a one-size fits all when it comes to link-building.
While manual link-building is becoming less and less relevant, it is still one of the the most cost-effective ways for small, location specific businesses to rank well in the search engines. And I think that is exactly the way it should always be.
It is ridiculous to force small-town shops, dentists, chiropractors and similar industries to spend months if not years publishing articles and social networking until they finally get some of their work redistributed and linked to. Great content alone rarely equals links; it's years of online networking and reputation building or an expensive marketing campaign that drives "natural" links. Regardless of what some of some these bloggers might say. All these bloggers have to do is sneeze and they get linked to and retweeted. They have simply forgotten what life is like for the majority of small business owners. Especially ones who don't have a need to do actual business over the Internet. But just because they might not do business over the Internet, that doesn't mean they don't have a need to be found there. Google is today's Yellow pages.
Unlike high-profile SEO bloggers, most small-businesses don't have thousands or even a just few online networking buddies, so getting articles and blog posts redistributed and linked to isn't nearly as easy as 1 2 3.
My advice is this: If you're a small business, or doing SEO for a very small-business, it is okay to find some local directories and manually request some links. Also, there are a few general, paid directories like Yahoo!, BOTW, and Business.com, which Google appears to treat as authorities. If you're competition is minimal, having a well-optimized website and a handful of high-quality manual links could, and IMO should, earn you a spot on the first page of Google, Yahoo!, and Bing.
The more Google discriminates against manual links, the more expensive it will get for small businesses to get found on the Internet. And quite honestly, the more necessary they will be making paid links….one way or another, almost all links are paid links.
BTW: Business.com and BOTW.org are affiliate links. However, my valuation of their worthiness is in no way influenced by that.
December 3rd, 2009 at 4:25 pm Niall Harbison said:
Yeah I have to agree that there needs to be a way for the small guys to get found. As you say there is no point an agency like us building a ton of links and great content for our brand and then small guys not appearing at all in the rankings beside them. The only good thing though in my opinion is that Google is very good at levelling the playing field which means most people will always have a chance at getting to the top of the rankings!
December 3rd, 2009 at 4:51 pm Wesley LeFebvre said:
Let's hope. I just hope they don't discount every directory link to zero. There are some free high-quality directory with strict approval processes. Getting listed in free directories should always pass "normal" link-juice, IMO. I think they are beneficial for site owners and the search engines.
Another reason I think strict directories – free or not – shouldn't lose their link-value is because without them the web will get even more polluted with worthless articles and machine written content than it already is.
December 29th, 2009 at 10:27 am Stephen said:
I'm not sure I feel it's a level playing field. I like how it seems that spending more time instead of money can give better quality results from link-building, but I'm not sure this is enough to compete with big businesses that mass hundreds-thousands of lower quality links per month. Even though I own a small company struggling to get rankings, isn't it the natural order of things that big companies with big marketing budgets will should get more traffic than smaller ones with less money, even online?
December 29th, 2009 at 10:45 am Wesley LeFebvre said:
Sure they should get more traffic because of the advertising they have done. However, Google used to be the place where any business owner could compete naturally. But any good idea that helps the small business owner on a small budget compete naturally, just gets shut down quickly and labled black hat.
Like with anything that starts out good, the level playing field will continue to decrease. The latest hit being personalized search. Perhaps that is why the hordes of businesses are starting to look elsewhere. Sites like Twitter and Facebook or whatever else might be out there.

While I'm still trying to grow my small-business I do agree that paid links shouldn't be looked down upon, however, I'm trying to create a much more natural SEO environment versus using tactics that can hurt your SERP position.
Great post nonetheless.
April 2nd, 2010 at 1:51 pm Wesley LeFebvre said:
Hi Shawn!
Yeah, I don't recommend someone go out and submit their website to a bunch of seemingly low-quality web directories. But I don't think buying a few links from a a couple of high-quality web directories is going to get you in trouble.
June 28th, 2010 at 10:13 pm SEOP.com said:
I agree. Unless you have the money, stick to the free stuff and just work harder on it.
March 11th, 2011 at 3:36 pm Mark Askew said:
I had a company cold call and show me that currently we have only 8 links to our website and that they could up this to 400 plus which will get us to the first page on Google…blah blah blah. I did consider the £150 pm with the 'guaranteed' money back in profit until I read blogs such as this. Thanks for pointing out the pros & cons – I think I'll just carry on with Adwords and look into a few manual links myself
March 11th, 2011 at 3:46 pm Wesley LeFebvre said:
Hi Mark,
Yeah – I'd be wary of any company cold calling you making those guarantees. There is no set number of back links that will ensure you top rankings or traffic for that matter. It is possible they could do a good job for you, but I suspect at that price most of those backlinks will be questionable at best.

Report Declares Children's Learning Center in Compliance
COMMERCE - State officials have deemed the Children's Learning Center (CLC) at Texas A&M University-Commerce to be in compliance with all state regulations after an incident at the facility reportedly left a girl's elbow dislocated.
In a Monday statement by the university, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services' report cites that the CLC staff member in question demonstrated "competency, good judgment and self-control" when helping a child off of a bicycle.
The report came following an April 13 story in the online edition of the East Texan stating that a two-year-old girl was reportedly yanked at the arm by a CLC worker the day before when she refused to get off a bicycle, according to the child's grandmother.
The newspaper reported the child was treated at a hospital.
According to Brian Nichols, dean of campus life and student development, "The incident at the Children's Learning Center was immediately investigated by the state, and it was determined that the center acted appropriately and was in compliance with all state regulations. We are confident that the Children's Learning Center and its staff are fully equipped and properly trained to care for the children entrusted to them each day."
The news release states that the Children's Learning Center is licensed by the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services, and adheres to standards required of all childcare facilities.
