Google SERPs Dominated by Ads & Other Google Properties
Written by Michael LevanduskiJuly 12, 2013 # 10:22 am # Marketing Insights, Specials # 12 Comments
Google claims that their goal when generating search results is to provide users with the best possible experience. Most people accept that the advertisements are a necessary part of the business, and that they even do a fairly good job at displaying ads related to the search query. According to a new blog post by the co-founder and CEO of Tutorspree, Aaron Harris, however, Google's results are becoming more and more dominated by ads and other Google owned sites.
In the SERPs of many queries you might find two or three advertisements at the top, combined with some going along the side. Then within the 'organic' results you'll see YouTube videos and maybe Google Maps, both owned by the search giant. Other searches might include Blogger pages too, just one more Google owned web property.
According to the blog post only 13% of the 'above the fold' space was taken up by actual organic search results for the term "Auto Mechanic", the rest was advertisements, Google maps and white space. Other search queries return similar results with advertisements and other Google properties taking up the majority of the first page. The queries were done on a Macbook Air with a 13-inch screen.
The problem gets worse when using a mobile device to do a search. A query for "Italian Restaurants" on an iPhone produced four full pages of advertisements and results from Google owned properties like Zagat and Google maps with local results. On the 5th page the actual organic search results start to be shown.
While the blog post specifically focuses on Google, it appears this is a problem with all the major search engines. Bing displays advertisements and results from Bing Maps, though the fact that they don't own quite as many popular sites means there are typically additional search results from non-Bing related sites.
This doesn't necessarily mean that the user experience is poor because many of the ad results as well as Google owned properties are often useful to the actual user. The concern is whether or not Google is giving priority to their sites because they believe it is actually the best result for the user, or because they want to keep the traffic (and therefore money) on their own properties.

This is not something new, Google is playing that game years ago and now with the penguin and panda updates they want to dominate serps with their pages. Introducing the google +1 button also shows how bad they want to take over everything, their goal is to dominate the Internet!
Zak recently posted..Pey Per Click VS SEO: Where is your Money Going-
You are very right. With the penguin and panda around, everything has been different. They surely intend to dominate the WEB.
Great article. I have often said the same thing about Google, though not so well as you. Google isn't as much a search engine as it is an advertising company.
I too agree that they need ads for a sustainable business model, but I never realized how much space was taken by their own content.
The only area where I might slightly disagree is in the maps results. Since those aren't paid results and happen organically they're not really ad space. But I can see your point that they are Google owned property.
I am still hoping that someone will revolutionize the search industry. I keep hoping Facebook will come up with a way to have peer recommended search results combined with local and knock Google right between the oo's.
Hi Micheal,
Yeah. Of course Google is giving priority to their sites and they believe it is the best result for the user and they want to keep traffic and money on their own properties. This is the result of the dominant, even monopolistic position Google has on the market. In my opinion this is contrary to the American spirit and to democracy as well. Where there is monopoly you cannot talk about loyal competition. Even worse. Abuse is the rule and not the exception.
Unfortunately, Bing is doing the same thing. It seems this is a fundamental human characteristic. When you have power you try, almost subconsciously, to occupy all the space available.
Google SERPs dominated by ADs? This is just another sign that outbound marketing techniques bring the most money on the table and inbound marketing is just a story for kids.Have a nice day

This is a very good article. While I probably knew this in the back of my mind somewhere, I never really thought about it consciously before. Thanks for bring this to light.
Tom Jamieson recently posted..Drive Traffic: 5 Tips For Using Web Apps More Effectively -
I think it will be more and more of this, already today for some searches 50% of the first page results are youtube or other google owned results.

Nice , The only area where I might slightly disagree is in the maps results. Since those aren't paid results and happen organically they're not really ad space. But I can see your point that they are Google owned property.
I would say that it is kinda sad thing to see, because how can we little people compete with not a huge budget and not mind blowing seo skills???
Josh Brancek recently posted..Josh Pellicer EXPOSED!!! The Tao of Badass Author Secrets Revealed HERE -
It's all about money. It is sad for small businesses with a small budget but this is the same pattern most businesses follow, just take a look at My Space, then Yahoo, now Google. Eventually people will get fed up of it and turn to a new company that is going to do the same thing all over again. But I do think that as long as you keep providing users what they are looking for and interesting information they will stick around. Small businesses will just have to find other sources of traffic rather than relying just in Google.
Bella recently posted..Hello world! -
It's getting harder and harder to compete against the big boys. Search results are being dominated by corporations and big budget people. It's time to think outside the box and to start looking at different ways to promote your business online
So true, Michael.
Well written article.
I have noticed this massive swamping of the serps and everything about it, with copious amounts of Google web properties, and Google ads splashed everywhere.
Also, the rankings for a number of search terms are dominated by mega corp style sites, that would have very deep pockets to keep Google happy.
Apart from that there are some spam sites, that somehow have "black hatted ' there way into the remaing prime spots for those search terms.

Far Cry
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.3
Timedemo or Level Used: PC Games Hardware Demo
Developer Homepage: http://www.crytek.com
Product Homepage: http://www.farcrygame.com
There is no denying that Far Cry is currently one of the most graphic intensive games on the market, utilizing PS2.0 technology (the latest versions support Shader Model 3.0 with DX9c) and offering an exceptional visual experience there is no denying that even some of the faster graphics cards struggle.
With Far Cry being so CPU limited the optimization implemented for Dual Core processors can really be seen here. Even the little X550 sees a small FPS bump at the lower resolution though you can clearly see the increase given to the X700 and X850XT.

January 2nd 2013. ANDY'S UNPOPULAR INSIGHTS. Kicking the Cans Down the Road - Same Old Things in the Same Old Ways.
The 112th Congress spent two years kicking the cans down the road, and Ended by kicking the can down the road.
In a Nation that's Downing In Debt, the 112th Congress did NOTHING for two years as Trillions of Dollars of NEW DEBT was loaded onto the backs of all current and future working Americans.
Yesterday's raising of the income tax rate, on $400,000 and above, from 35% to 39.6% was mostly Masturbation. It will as usual be IMMEDIATELY used as an Excuse spend a LOT MORE MONEY than will never in the long run be collected.
35% is already the Top of the Laffer Curve, what that means is the amount of new tax collected will be Way Below the Treasury's always Wrong Over estimates of what a new tax will produce.
It's like taking a buck of water out of the Ocean and then waiting for the Sea Level to go down.
Has anyone in Congress ever noticed that the immediate Federal Revenue DEFICTS are 1.4 Trillion dollars PER YEAR? Like raising taxes on 3% of the tax payers by Under 5% is the solution to America's 1.4 Trillion PER YEAR immediate Deficit? Sure! And maybe the Moon IS made out of green cheese?
I would summarize the 112th Congress as, "Profiles in Cowardice." Or, how about, "How I Learned to Love Being a Bernanke Queer Money Faggot."
Congressmen always use the excuse of, "But this is what my voters want." It's called LEADERSHIP. It's called learning how to sell your ideas. It's called doing what's CORRECT FOR THE SURVIVAL OF AMERICA even if some people's laziness isn't immediately satisfied. YES, a BIG part of the American voters ARE Very Stupid and self centered. My point is that if a retarded 5 year old asked for a sharp knife would you give it to him because, "That's what he wanted"? When is Congress going to start being the Adult Teacher instead of a whore?
Aristotle 23 Centuries ago WAS CORRECT, when the lazy, and their political whores, learn that they can us "Democracy" to steal the money of working productive people then that nation is on the road to a shit hole.
The 112th Congress spent Two Years setting on its hands while saying that America can live off of Bernanke's Queer Juice forever.
NOW we'll see the usual "Game" that the Democrats always play: "Because we have ALL of this massive amount of NEW tax money coming from somewhere over the Rainbow. We have to get REALLY Serious about a LOT MORE payoffs RIGHT NOW, Today, Immediately, for all of the people who kick money back to we Democrats."
Now that we all of this "new tax money," how about Immediately STARTING the Payoffs with that $60 Billion Dollar "Sandy" payoff to New York City's Democrats? Charles Rangel needs the $$ money.
A sane person might ask, "Why is Every tax payer in America supposed to pay for New York's hurricane, and New York's unpreparedness, incompetence, and stupidity when the Federal Government is NOT paying for: hurricanes, earth quacks, floods, ice storms, and tornadoes ANYWHERE else in America?"
When is Congress going to Learn that AMERICA IS BANKRUPT? America's Total Debts and Liabilities are $85 Trillion Dollars. That's over 500% of America's GNP. Five hundred years of world financial history has PROVEN, and re-proven, that when a Nation's total Debt goes over 100% it's in BIG TROUBLE. When is Congress going to Learn that America CANNOT afford to pay for everyone's: Laziness, Incompetence and Stupidity?
When is Congress going to Learn that no amount of money can fix stupid? Hasn't Congress Already Proven, and re-proven, and re-proven a hundred times over that you Can't Fix Stupid?
Here's an Idea that the Federal Government should like. Now that we have all of this new tax money coming from somewhere over the Rainbow, let's IMMEDIATELY Expand Food Stamps from 45 million people and bring that up to 65 million people. All of the millions of already FAT people who are getting Food Stamps will get Triple Food Stamps so they can become fatter.

Seriously, I fought the 2nd Amendment Battle for 40 years. For 40 years I knew that the Supreme Court had its fingers up in the wind. The Supreme Court was looking for who was going to give in, and who was never going to stop fighting. When it became crystal clear that we pro-freedom groups were NOT GOING AWAY the Supreme Court finally ended the marry-go-round.
Get INTO the fight, be part of the Solution and not part of the Problem. If YOU don't want the direct exposure, then help us with some money so WE can be your front person.

Turn watercooler talk to weight loss success
Lunches and coffee breaks are common gathering times at work, so using them for support seems natural. "When the midafternoon munchies strike, there's always somebody around to suggest a healthy snack or a quick walk," says Tom. (Check out these snack-free ways to boost your energy at work.)
Although everyone is doing their own thing regarding food and exercise, the diets obstacles are often the same. "I'm moderating my portions, and my coworker is doing a low-carb diet, but we both struggle with nighttime hunger and finding time to work out. It helps to talk about it at lunch," says HR coordinator Jessica Glick, who's lost 6 pounds. HR director Carrie Holler agrees: "Knowing I'll check in with someone tomorrow keeps me on track tonight." She's down 10 pounds so far.
"We used to have tons of sweets, but not now," says Marian Schneck, accounting director, who's lost 7 pounds. "Even nonparticipants help out by keeping our work areas free of junk food."
The accounting department brought home the gold with a total loss of 133.2 pounds. Human resources lost 49.8 pounds. Both groups celebrated their diets' success with a lunch hosted by HR.
The accounting group presented HR with consolation prizes of jump ropes and handgrips. And HR gave accounting a box of beef jerky and chocolates. (A little sabotage, perhaps?)
Everyone had a fun time and agreed to make the challenge a yearly event. They all felt the work diets contest had a positive effect on their health and their waistlines.

Clashes have been breaking out among Egyptians waiting in long lines for subsidized bread.
The president has ordered the army to start baking more to contain a political crisis.
The turmoil in the world's most populous Arab country, a top U.S. ally, is a stark sign of how rising world food prices are roiling poorer countries.
Government bakeries sell subsidized versions of the flat, round bread that is a staple of people's diets.
Acute shortages of subsidized bread, which is sold at less than one U.S. cent a loaf, have caused hours-long lines and violence at some sites in poor neighborhoods in recent weeks.
Seven Have Died
At least seven people have died, according to police. Two were stabbed in fights between customers in line, and the rest died of exhaustion or other medical problems aggravated by waiting in the spring heat.
Independent and opposition parties have been sharply critical of President Hosni Mubarak's government, calling the long lines a sign that his government is failing.
Demand for the subsidized bread has grown steadily in recent months as rising commodity prices - especially for flour - have made unsubsidized bread less affordable.
More than 20 percent of Egypt's 76 million people live below the poverty line, according to the World Bank. Unsubsidized bread can sell for 10 to 12 times the subsidized price.
The supply of subsidized bread has been decreasing. Many people in Egypt believe subsidized bakeries sell some of their flour on the black market rather than make bread.
Army Opening Bakeries
In recent days, the army has opened 10 large bakeries in Cairo to produce cheap bread and has set up about 500 kiosks to sell bread to the public, said Minister of Social Solidarity Ali Meselhi.
Some fear the crisis could mirror riots in 1977 that killed at least 70 people after the government hiked the price of bread and other subsidized foods.
Egypt grows about half of the more than 14 million tons of wheat it consumes every year.
It has also long been one of the top importers of U.S. wheat, using about $54 million of some $2 billion a year in U.S. aid to buy it.
But its U.S. purchases have been falling as it searches for cheaper sellers on the world market, where prices have tripled in the last 10 months.

Honestly, how many emails on public lists (such as gentoo-amd64) do you know that make good use of html? In my experience, this is less than 1%. But let us pretend for a second that people practised tasteful use of html to enhance their messages as you suggested. The problem is then that everyone uses a slightly different style, and that looks ugly when flipping from message to message -- just imagine a magazine with every page in a different layout. This does not increase readability at all. Besides, tables work fine in ascii, /adding/ *emphasis* _works_ as well, and if you cannot manage ascii art you can always attach an image if you must, just like you would do in html. Hyperlinks also work fine, just put them inline http://foo.bar/ or reference [1] them for later use. [1] http://foo.bar/ Sincerely, Marco P.S.

Big thanks to our outkast.com operative, who shot video from the pit with his flip cam
July 18, 2010, Union Park, Chicago. The Pitchfork Music Festival. The sun had been beating down all day, and everything stunk. People were laid out in the grass, asleep next to piles of empty beer cups, wiped out after a whole weekend of beers, ironic eyewear, sun, and (mostly deserved) hype.
Across the park, Major Lazer paraded their (awesome) freak show all over the stage and all over each other in the blaring sun. Just as their hyperactive set closed, the sun dipped behind the trees, and instantly the vibe cooled down. Plumes of smoke popped into the air, beers were finished hastily, and as the sun went down, the hands went up, and Big Boi stormed the stage.
Backed by DJ Cutmaster Swiff, bass, guitar, and a horn section, Big ripped through an opening medley of all of his best Outkast verses. "ATLiens", "So Fresh So Clean", "B.O.B.", "Rosa Parks", "Ms. Jackson", "Skew it on The Bar-B" and more all blended into each other, making it clear the Big was not afraid to give the people what they wanted, clearing the way for his new stuff by blasting all of his greatest hits (and DAMN there were a lot of them) before breaking into all the best from Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty.

No, I've noticed it too unfortunately. I like to listen to his interviews the most now. I'll skip the roundtables and whatnot. The new series of going around the countries with people from the countries is pretty interesting.
My favorites are from back in the day when he had J.D. Roth as a guest and the series of the Top 7 Wonders of WDW were awesome.

Hi, GW-ers!
After lurking for weeks on GW and spending lots of time visiting local appliance stores, we have narrowed down our 30" all gas range choices to: -GE monogram ZGP30NRSS
We looked at Blue Star and realized we are not the kinds of cook that will benefit from that. Mostly, DH seared and sauteed. I simmer and broil. We occasionally bake (mostly our teenage daughter :) We are torn between the look of monogram (which we like better) and the star burner (which we hope means better heating or cooking performance). We are concerned that the Thermador XLO feature will be a liability (need service calls) down the road. We would love to hear from GW-ers who have had first hand experiences with either GE monogram or Thermador gas ranges. What do you like about your range and what do you not like?
Follow-Up Postings:
Not sure what Blue Star has that you would "benefit from" that the others don't, other than it cost less. You are looking at around $4200-$5000 for a stove you would be better off in that price range to get a Capital Culinarian. Or since you don't cook that much then why spend $5000 on a stove, you could get a 30' NXR that will do just as well for $2000 or less. |

Thanks, nunyabiz1, for your comment. I need to clarify my post more: we cook a lot, 6 out of 7 days, 2.5 meals a day on average (making smoothie doesn't count as cooking lol) We have lived with our trusty all gas Caloric for 15 years. Never had a pro stove and this is an opportunity for us to experience a sexy stove. NXR, while quite nice looking, doesn't have the continuous grate that we want. There are other brands we looked at already that we ruled out, including DCS, Dacor, Wolf and Viking. Not because they are not sexy enough but either the knobs don't work (Sorry, DH don't like the red knobs of Wolf) or the service issues is more than we like it to be. We have visited many appliance stores and from what we heard, besides Wolf, T-dor and GE monogram have the least service issues. So, that's how we arrived at those two choices. Blue star has the high btu (22K)burners compared to the Ge monogram or Thermador (18K). Ease of cleaning actually meets our cooking needs better than the high BTU offered by Blue Star or CC. That's what I meant we won't benefit from it. We took a look at the open burner configuration of blue star, and DH who does the stove cleaning thinks that it will be a PITA to clean any spills even with the catch tray. Sorry if we offend all you open-burner lovers. But, to each his own, right? We cook, and we like cooking, but we are not into cooking. I hope it makes sense. Cooking is something we do as a bonding experience, and feed ourselves simple nutritious food. But, we don't need nor dream of producing restaurant quality dishes. Therefore the pro-look (sans the real pro performance of Blue star or Capital Culinary) of GE monogram and Thermador is an upgrade without the pain for us. |

We decided on GE monogram over Thermador. That decision is mostly emotional, meaning my husband and I found GE monogram just spoke to us more. Of course, there were other factors that helped us lean towards the GE monogram, such as: (1) We got it for under $4400. We shopped around and also sent out quote requests to our local appliance dealers listing our appliance needs. We haven't installed the stove yet, so we can't tell you how it works. But, we have a feeling we will love it. |
We just got a HUGE deal on a 30" GE Monogram Dual Fuel range. Floor model, under $2,500, had gone out to be installed, and was returned. Full warranty. We had also been looking at Thermador because of the rebates (though GE is also offering some good ones) and because we think the burners will cook better. Might have looked at the Wolf D3 series, but just never wanted to go down that rabbit hole. We think at this price, we could do no better. Looking now at GE Mono Advantium 240 or the Elux Icon speed oven. |

I have installed a sprinkler system in my front lawn as a part of installing new sod (marathon II). I am using orbit Saturn iv sprinklers and an orbit valve. The system works and as a part of adjusting the distance and coverage I went out to make some minor adjustments this morning. I noticed that a few of my sprinklers were not getting the kind of coverage that I had expected so I adjusted the distance screw on the heads and still was not satisfied so I went to make sure that the valve was fully on and also decided to turn the valve "on" manually at the valve while it was running from the timer. I noticed an immediate increase in flow rate, back to where it was originally when I installed the system. I am wondering if this could be an issue with the timer? For some reason when it is powers on manually at the valve it has a much better flow rate/distance from the heads. I am really not sure why this is or how to correct it. |
Follow-Up Postings:
ITT, Could describe the difference in throw distance in feet or a percentage drop of the distance. One way to determine the actual difference is with a cup on the lawn that is timed and see the difference is depth in the cup. You could do this with several sprinklers at once and see if there is a difference between sprinklers close to the water source and farther away. ALoha |
- Posted by iThinkTank 10 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 11, 13 at 13:37
The heads shoot 1-2 feet farther when I make this adjustment. The thing is that they were already 'on' from turning them on at the timer. The only thing I did was turn it 'on' at the valve also, which should have already been on fully since the sprinklers were running. The precipitation rate appears to be the same, the only thing that changed was the distance the heads shoot. I am wondering if this could mean a problem with the solenoid? |
itt, I am somewhat confused because once the solenoid coils and moves the pin and cuts off atmospheric pressure in the valve, you should get full flow if the the gate in the valve is fully open. The only thing I can think of is the solenoid pin not quite closing over the atmospheric port completely and therefore the gate doesn't open fully. I actually don't know if this could even happen. There are more experienced people in this forum who troubleshoot system, hopefully they will chime in on this one. I would check the voltage to solenoid for 24V or replace the valve and solenoid and see if there is a difference. Maybe chat with the people who you bought the system from. aloha |
- Posted by iThinkTank 10 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 11, 13 at 18:59
Lehua13 Thanks for the information. I purchased the system at home depot, so i doubt they will be much help. I can take the solenoid off and the valve apart to make sure that it is not visibly jammed or aligned properly with the connector. The voltage should be 24V as i am just using a standard digital timer from rainbird, but I can also check this out with an ohm meter and see what the voltage is running at. At this point i am hesitant to replace the valve because that involves digging up a portion of my new sod to get down to the pipes. |
- Posted by iThinkTank 10 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 18, 13 at 15:30
I took apart the valve and did not see any problems. I also cleaned out the solenoid just in case it was not depressing properly. I do not think this fixed the issue. I was not able to test the voltage on the wire going to the valve to see if it was 24V, I dont know where my ohm meter is at. |

Just a Thought: The Devils are Creating a New Identity
We all love to sit and discuss the nuances of the game. The critics and cynics pick apart a bad pass, a bad save or a great PK that turned around the New Jersey Devils' play. I'd like to step back and see the bigger picture that is forming. With coaching changes four times in the past three years, a slew of injuries, players leaving and a lot of young guys coming in, it is hard to say that the Devils have had a solid identity.
The players are coming together as a team under Peter DeBoer and are creating a new Devils' identity. They are sustaining increased pressure on the forecheck (as seen by all the SHGs) and an offense that takes chances. We also can see that the players trust their coach. Parise has been quoted saying, "We would run through a wall for him." Their coach has a mutual respect and has returned it with positive comments about his players.
Team chemistry is one element we don't always use to describe the organization. We see across the NHL that teams sometimes have cliques or stand alone players. We also see how much this disrupts team chemistry. With pairings like Elias/Sykora, the Henrique line and the fact that the Devils have 7 players with more than 10 goals; I don't believe they have any issues with chemistry. The players have built off of their coach's attitude and are coming together as a team, Jersey's team.

The resident chefs at Sengelmann Hall infuse their European-inspired offerings with tastes and techniques channeled from Texan culinary traditions. European-inspired entrees include german ribs and sauerkraut ($15), which piles repurposed Wagner records with slow-cooked pork ribs and tangy sauerkraut. Schnitzer's chicken schnitzel ($16) sets deep-fried chicken breast afloat on a sea of lemon-butter sauce next to potatoes and vegetables. American fare stakes its own claim to table space, helping diners oil rusty jaw hinges with meal-prefacing portions of house-made queso or salsa cradled in hand-cut tortilla chips ($3.50) or bite into the Two Brothers burger's six-ounce angus beef patty brushed with house mayonnaise and mustard ($8.50).
Nearly equidistant from Austin, Houston, and San Antonio, Christian retreat center Camp Tejas welcomes guests who gather to make new friends and explore different facets of their faith. Bunkhouses and private rooms accommodate overnight guests, while conference rooms and recreational facilities offer a chance to work, play, sing, study, and celebrate. Then there's the green, flower-dotted expanse of land that's home to these buildings. Trees, grass, and lakes abound, offering plenty of opportunities to kayak, climb, and appreciate nature. In November and December, this refreshing slice of the outdoors becomes even brighter, as the annual Lights of Tejas show organizes Christmas-light displays and family activities right along the water's edge.

If you are just getting started with grains, make sure to go to our Step 5: Grains page and just follow our recommendations there. However, if you already have a start on your grain storage you may want to explore some of our Beyond the BabySteps posts which go into more details about specific grains. Today we are going to cover one of our favorite grains … oats! Oats are one of the grains listed in most food storage calculators and we definitely recommend storing them.
Types of Oats:
For long term food storage purposes you should consider storing one of three varieties of oats:
- Steel Cut Oats – This variety is often sold in bulk, in #10 cans, and in emergency preparedness stores. These are oat groats which have been cut into chunks with steel blades. They're not rolled and look like coarse bits of grain.
- Rolled Oats – This variety is your typical grocery store variety. Rolled Oats are made by steaming oat groats and then rolling them flat. They take longer to cook than quick cooking oats, but retain more flavor and nutrition.
- Quick Cooking Rolled Oats – Quick cooking rolled oats are not to be confused with "instant oatmeal" where you just add water and microwave. They are simply rolled oats that have been rolled a little bit flatter to reduce the cooking time.
- Oat Groats – Oat groats are the grains that are used to make steel, rolled and quick oats. They look kind of like wheat and can be crushed with a grain flaker, or can be ground in a grain mill to make flour. Storing oat groats may not be as efficient as storing the other options.
Health Benefits of Oats:
Oats are considered a "whole grain" because both rolled and cut oats retain their bran and their germ. Whole grains are recommended to be at least 50% of your daily grain intake due to their benefit to cardiovascular health, weight management, and other nutritional advantages.
Uses of Oats:
Oats are not just for oatmeal! Oats can make DELICIOUS oatmeal cookies, homemade granola bars, topping for a fruit dessert, pancakes, etc. It can also be used as filler for meat dishes (my meatloaf recipe calls for oats) and can even be sprouted if you have some unhulled (or whole) oats in your storage.
So pick up some oats from the grocery store, try using them in some new recipes, especially those that use all shelf-stable ingredients, and then start stocking up!

In defense of ignorance {WoW}
Dec 23rd 2009 9:23AM I understand what Allison is trying to say, and i try my best to be patient with people less well geared than me. My average ilevel is 245 being the lowest, and 264 being the highest, so i'm pretty well geared, so i know as a tank, i might push past some dps.
However, i was in a pug last night, (i'm a druid feral tank) where i did 44.5% of the groups total damage over the course of the fight, and 30% of the healing. As a feral tank.
There are limits. When an 80 warrior in full epic gear can only do 846dps, which my 75 warrior in quest greens and blues can exceed, thats willful ignorance.
I hate elitism, and want people that play casually to see all the content i see, but i also expect people to at least know a single basic rotation.
Second wing of Icecrown Citadel to open in 28 days {WoW}
Dec 9th 2009 8:33AM My own view is that Blizzard is using MMO champion to 'seed' news, to put it out there and communicate with the community without officially saying something.
So when MMO champ says we'll see Arthas before April, I'm inclined to beleive that this is Blizzard telling us not to panic.
Please dont think i condone this behavior. I'd love it if Blizzard would just be upfront, and say plainly what is happening, but i also understand that internet gives a mouth to everyone, including people that should be quiet.
I would say that we'll see another portion in February, probably both the Frostwing Halls and Crimson Hall, with the Arthas coming in March.
Speculating at the patch 3.3 release date {WoW}
Oct 24th 2009 6:34AM I'm going to say November 25th or december 2nd.
Any later than that is a pointless drop. How many guilds will be able to hold a regular raising schedule over Christmas? Many guilds are going to lose people as they go on home for xmas, etc.
I also think they're not going to show us as many bosses as they have in the past with this PTR
Guildwatch: "My laywer is processing a subpoena" {WoW}
Oct 15th 2009 8:55AM That guy in the first video, that is pretending hes from ireland, hes not.
There is NO accent in Ireland that sounds like that. It sounds exactly like what it is, some fool pretending to put on his 'best' fake Irish accent.
I can only assume its some big prank. I mean, for Gods sake, his accent changed at least 3 times in the first few minutes alone.
I couldn't even listen to it for the length of it, the accent was that bad.
Is WoW being run by its B-team? Is that bad? {WoW}
Jul 15th 2009 6:49AM I seriously doubt its the b-team. The idea that Blizzard had this extra-ordniary team of super stars, that has never experienced attrition, re tasking or movement over the past 8-10 years is, well, ludicrous.
I'm sure the team has changed, and I'm sure that some people have changed roles within Blizzard, but i seriously doubt, to the point of calling the original blogger a liar, that blizzard just turned around and said 'sure thing guys, just hand the keys to the kingdom over to the interns, and sloppy joe, sure, who cares what happens now?'
What we have now then, are a lot of the 'me, me, me' raiders, who assume that the game must, without any compromise, revolve around them, getting pissed that the game doesn't focus on them, and then deciding that blizzard is the problem. It couldn't be that blizzard have said, we need to please everyone, so instead it must be sloppy design work.
THe problem is only made worse then, as forums, and the internet allow people to blow of steam, and make (watch the capitals) UNBELIEVABLY over the top claims, to the point of insulting, knowing that behind their anonymity, they are safe to say things they never would in person. These stupid claims get pounced on, and like some infectious madness, it spreads, until some ideal version of the game is created in peoples head, that never existed.
The game is now delivering more content to more players than ever before.
Only the most selfish, egotistical self absorbed people could consider this a bad thing, and then try and blame on reasons as woeful and pitiful as 'its the designers, they suck'

Dec 4th 2008 9:18AM Myria
if you dont like the game, then just get lost
i wish i could tell you what i really want, but it sounds duck tourself
people like you just dont get it, you're still living in the dreamworld where you think a game of 11 million subscribers should be built on your expectations.
i pay the exact same amount of money as you, and i am over the moon with this expansion. I;m no hard core raiding junkie, yet i'm now in aposition to see aspects of the game i never would have before.
What are you going to about that tough guy?

Kanaoka T et al. – These results show that aliskiren, as a first–line regimen, improves the ambulatory blood pressure (BP) profile and may have protective vascular effects in Japanese nondiabetic patients with untreated mild to moderate essential hypertension.
- Aliskiren is a direct renin inhibitor that exerts its effect at the rate–limiting step of the renin–angiotensin system.
- This study was performed to examine the beneficial effects of aliskiren–based antihypertensive therapy on the ambulatory blood pressure (BP) profile, central hemodybamics, and arterial stiffness in untreated Japanese patients with mild to moderate hypertension.
- 21 Japanese nondiabetic patients with untreated mild to moderate essential hypertension were initially given aliskiren once daily at 150 mg, and the dose was titrated up to 300 mg as needed.
- After 12 weeks of aliskiren–based therapy, the clinic, ambulatory, and central BP values as well as brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) were all significantly decreased compared with baseline (clinic systolic BP, 151±11 mm Hg vs 132±11 mm Hg; clinic diastolic BP, 91±13 mm Hg vs 82±9 mm Hg; 24–hour systolic BP, 144±12 mm Hg vs 133±11 mm Hg; 24–hour diastolic BP, 88±8 mm Hg vs 81±9 mm Hg; central BP, 162±16 mm Hg vs 148±14 mm Hg; baPWV, 1625±245 cm/s vs 1495±199 cm/s; P<.05).

The 1987 Napa Valley Cabernet offers more of a black fruit character in the nose and less of the herbaceous, spicy component found in the Alexander Valley. It is also a bit denser, more tannic, and slightly deeper and more ageworthy than the Alexander Valley. Irresistibly precocious, it can now be guzzled with great pleasure, but it could be cellared for at least a decade.
Silver Oak's 1987s do not have the weight, richness, and multi-dimensional character of the 1984s, 1985s, and 1986s. But do not expect them to gather much dust on retailers' shelves.

The SUNY Cortland Stadium Complex, scheduled for completion on June 1, 2002, is a state-of-the-art, multi-purpose athletic facility located on the SUNY Cortland campus. Its two Sprinturf fields can accommodate a variety of sporting events, including football, field hockey, lacrosse, soccer, and track and field. The complex is also ideal for professional training and sports camps, intercollegiate and scholastic tournaments, and special events, such as drum and bugle corps competitions and commencements.
For more information on staging an event at the SUNY Cortland Stadium Complex, visit the SUNY Cortland contact page or call the SUNY Cortland director of conferences at (607) 753-2321.
Main Field
The multi-purpose Main Field features Sprinturf -- all-weather, soft fiber synthetic turf -- and provides main grandstand seating for 5,000 spectators and visitors' side seating for 1,500. An 18-foot by 36-foot scoreboard, with a 9-foot by 14-foot video screen, stands near the south end zone next to the Athletic Training and Locker Facility, where the locker room and training facilities are housed.
The Carl A. "Chugger" Davis Administration Building, with ticket windows and administrative offices, is located by the north end zone between two ticket portals. Concession areas are found both in the atrium beneath the grandstand and behind the visitors' side stands. A two-tiered press box, which serves the Main Field as well as the Auxiliary Field, features conduits that offer nine angles for television coverage of events. The stadium features state-of-the-art lighting for night contests, and the Main and Auxiliary Field grandstands are linked by a common walkway.
Auxiliary Field
Like the Main Field, the Auxiliary Field features Sprinturf -- all weather, soft fiber synthetic turf. The field is surrounded by an eight-lane all-weather track, and long jump, high jump and pole vault pits are located within its perimeter. An area for hammer throws, discus and shot put, is located just 100 yards from the Auxiliary Field. The Auxiliary Field has seating for 1,500 spectators and access to the two-tiered press box. Conduits in the press box provide multiple angles for television coverage of Auxiliary Field events. The complex has state-of-the-art lighting for nighttime events, and the Main and Auxiliary Fields grandstands are linked by a common walkway. Concession areas are found in the atrium beneath the grandstand.
Press Box
The Stadium Complex features a two-story press box serving both the Main Field and the Auxiliary Field. The lower press box level features an expansive press area with tiered seating overlooking both fields. A lift provides handicap accessibility to both press row levels. Two radio booths and a public address/scoreboard operator booth are located on the lower level. The upper level includes video and coaches' rooms facing both fields, as well as a VIP lounge. An elevator serves both press box levels.
Athletic Training and Locker Facility
The Athletic Training and Locker Facility, located adjacent to the Main Field, houses the locker rooms, coaches' rooms and athletic training complex. The facility offers two 73-locker main team rooms, plus two 15-locker coaches' rooms and two nine-locker officials' rooms. A fully-equipped athletic training room and an extra taping room separate the two locker rooms.

Five Things Joe Biden Should Never, Ever Talk About
These days, when even the most scrupulous elected officials seem to have secret Argentine soul mates, you have to appreciate the few politicians who are really, truly honest with their constituents. Joe Biden is one such example.
Much of Biden's charm is derived from his roots as a hardscrabble Irishman from working-class Scranton who won't hesitate to tell you what he thinks about things—even if you don't really care and really would prefer for him to just shut up. For a politician with a quarter-century of service in the U.S. Senate, such honesty and spontaneity would usually be seen as a refreshing quality.
Now, however, Biden now has access to nuclear launch codes, making his candor much less charming. This had never been clearer than it was on Sunday when Biden, on ABC's The Week, gave his permission for Israel to bomb Iran to smithereens."Look, we cannot dictate to another sovereign nation what they can and cannot do,'' he said.
Yesterday, President Obama clarified that, no, Biden did not mean to send Iranians sprinting to their bomb shelters, which seems to have averted any major international crisis. But this episode should still give us pause. Maybe it's time to give the vice president some ground rules—say, topics he should not be allowed to address, even if he really, really wants to. Nuclear war and foreign affairs are a given, considering this week's episode. Our other suggestions:
• Public health. Swine flu was scary enough before Biden took to the Today show in April to warn the public that they should run away whenever someone sneezes nearby. "I wouldn't go anywhere in confined places right now," he explained. Of course, that's easy say when you live on a 72-acre estate.
• Other branches of government. In January, Biden cracked a joke at John Roberts after the chief justice botched the oath at Obama's inauguration. Making fun of one of the other branches of government might be acceptable when you're a senator, but as vice president, it's bad form. Put it this way: If Sonia Sotomayor gets hazed, it's going to be Biden's fault.
• Woman, minorities, and the disabled. First, in June 2006, Biden mused that "you cannot go to a 7/11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent." The following January, he kicked off his presidential campaign by explaining that among presidential candidates, Obama was the "first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy." And at a campaign event in September, he ordered then-Missouri State Sen. Chuck Graham to stand up—only to realize that Graham is confined to a wheelchair.
• Other politicians. Also in September, Biden explained that in his opinion, Hillary Clinton "is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president." To make sure his point was understood, he added, "Quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me." It's natural to be insecure, but in order to allow America to sleep soundly at night, it's best to keep these thoughts to oneself.
• American history. September really was a bad month for Biden. In his third and final gaffe (whatever happened to striking out?), he recalled Franklin Roosevelt going on television to address the country after the stock market crashed. This was problematic on two levels. First, Herbert Hoover was president when the stock market crashed. Second, the television had not yet been introduced to the public. Note to politicians: Don't hire Stephen Glass to write your anecdotes.
To be fair, we should note that Joe Biden is not the first vice president to be a bit of a troublemaker. Things got off to an inauspicious start in 1804 when Vice President Aaron Burr killed former Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton in a duel, an act that strikes us as decidedly un-vice presidential and set a bad example for vice presidents to come. Some of the rabble-rousers that followed included a belligerent alcoholic (Andrew Johnson), an alleged Canadian (Chester Arthur), and a corrupt tax evader (Spiro Agnew). This tradition of trouble-making has even spread to fiction: Recall that Jed Bartlet's first vice president resigned in shame after a Sanford-esque dalliance.
More recently, when Dick Cheney was in office, we had to worry about his launching a nuclear attack because he was bored some Sunday morning while President Bush was at his Crawford ranch for a brush-clearing photo-op. Now, Biden probably won't take us to war, but he might very well share the launch codes while chit-chatting with David Gregory on Meet the Press.
Then again, nobody's perfect.

Sun man gets his hair zapped
While dreamily gazing upon the polished surface of Rio Ferdinand's back during Man Utd's frantic league title celebrations, I couldn't help but wonder about the thorny state of my own back garden.
Does a furry physique evoke virility in a man a la Ryan Giggs and Pierce Brosnan? Or, with preening and metrosexuality on the rise, should 21st century man project a pristine image in keeping with expectations of women?

Teacher Loan and Bookbag Service
2012-2013 school year
The following guidelines are established for material loans to schools serving the children of Skokie:
- Teachers working in schools that serve the children of Skokie are eligible for Skokie Public Library cards and the Teacher Bookbag Service. The principal must sign an authorization form and send a staff list approving use of the card by the administrators, teachers, and aides included on the list. Each person authorized for checkout privileges will have a separate barcode with the card issued first to the school, followed by the person's name. (E.g. EDISON- Linda Jones). Cards will be given to each school for distribution to school personnel.
- Each teacher may borrow a maximum of 30 items from the Library for a period of three (3) weeks. Materials can be renewed online. Teachers may also download eAudiobooks and eBooks according to Library guidelines. Depending on demand, it may be necessary to limit the number of items permitted to ensure materials are also available for the general public. Adult materials may be checked out for school use as well. (eReader devices are excluded from school loans.) Generally five (5) items in a Dewey classification area will be available. Established loan periods for all materials apply. Limits for all materials are subject to the discretion of the librarian.
- Fines will be waived on school loans but prompt return of materials will insure continued access to this service. We count on the school's and each teacher's cooperation in order to make materials available to all patrons. Schools are responsible for the cost of lost or damaged materials, including the bag used for the school loans. Overdue notification will initially be sent to the individual three times via email. If the person fails to respond in a timely manner, the school administration will be notified and loan privileges for the individual will be suspended. Continued abuse will result in termination of the individual's school loan privileges. At the beginning of the school year, loan privileges will be frozen for any school with teachers who have outstanding accounts from the previous year. Overdue, missing or damaged material must be returned or paid for in order for the account to be cleared.
- Bookbag requests may be called in, faxed or emailed to the Youth Services Department's School Services Liaison at the Library. A minimum of seven (7) days notice is required, and as much lead-time as possible is suggested, when a teacher wishes to have materials selected by Youth Services staff. If the school is near a scheduled Bookmobile stop, the bookbag can be put on the Bookmobile for pick-up. Bookbags will be held at the Youth Services Desk for 3 days after pickup notification unless special arrangements have been made.
- The bookbag will include a list of all of the loaned materials. The due date for materials will be included on this list. Materials should be returned to either the East or West desk of the Circulation Department or the Bookmobile.
- Teachers may also come to the Library to select their own materials at any time. They may use the automated checkout stations or the West Circulation desk to check out materials. A list of materials with due dates is provided.
- Using their library card number teachers may place reserves on materials that are currently checked out. In order to contact teachers who place reserves on materials, the Library must have the teacher's email address on file.

If, however, keeping teens glued to your Web site is the goal, consider the colors preferred by this young yet influential audience.
As part of a Web activity study conducted by Cheskin Research and Cyberteens.com, 2,579 teen surfers were asked to reveal their attitudes toward color on the Web. Gaining the most positive response was the color blue, where words such as "success," "intelligent," "trusted" and "welcoming" were offered in praise of the hue. Least favorite was the color black-although haughtily described as "high-tech," teens considered black mostly "complicated" and "outdated". Yellow conveyed "playfulness" and "ease," green communicated "wealth," and red evoked "speed" and "warmth."
As for the middle-aged demographic (ages 45-65), Samuelle Easton of Samuelle Easton and Associates in New York City, believes that strong, medium-toned colors, like "true blue", "American Beauty rose" and emerald green are the most respectable. So, even though you may consider bright neons eye-catching, steer clear of those if adults make up your target audience, Easton insists. "Color conveys the message faster than anything else we do," she says. "It's stronger than words and faster than speech. It's a language all in itself."
