Jamberry Nails Review {$15 e-gift card giveaway}
I admit the time I have to spend painting my nails is laughable. Add in the fact that polish quickly chips for me – no matter the top coat, base coat, or prayers to the polish gods – I just get frustrated and wonder what is the point? So when I heard that an independent consultant from Jamberry Nails would send me a set of nail wraps[*], I was curious to see how long they would last!
While browsing Jamberry Nails, I felt a little giddy. There are SO many beautiful designs! Over 200 and you can customize your own!
I had a hard time narrowing it down, but ended up choosing the peacock design for my review. And while I was at it I bought three other sets. *chuckle*
Before I sat down to apply the nail wraps, I read the instructions to make sure I had everything I needed.
- Hair dryer or mini-heater
- Cuticle pusher
- Scissors
- Emory board
Each Jamberry Nails set has many size options. Everyone's nail beds are different! Mine are, for sure. You see, I have what I call stubby thumbs. They are short and wide and, normally, finding a tip to fit my thumbs is a challenge. But I was able to match a wrap to my thumbs {even if it is meant for toenails – ha!}.
I think there is a bit of a learning curve with the application. So I asked The Mister to trim the wraps on my right hand {he loves me!} so I could file them down with ease. He obliged, then I filed the edges down with a more meticulous eye.
How'd they hold up?
I made notes as to how my peacock nail wraps held up to the havoc motherhood normally wreaks on my nails.
Day four: I notice some minor lifting in areas.
Day six: The lifting is beginning to make my OCD twitch. I notice slight fading at tips and cuticle grow out.
Day ten: {not pictured} One nail wrap snags on clothes as I throw laundry into the dryer. *boo*
I also asked my sister to try the London Fog Ombré wraps. She is an unapologetic polish addict, but had yet to try Jamberry Nails nail wraps. She was excited because she has fellow polish pals that use and love them. Hers wrinkled a bit, despite how much she tried to fix it. And unfortunately with all the work she does with her hands {she works overnight in retail, stocking, unloading trucks, etc.} they didn't last beyond the first night.
There are two methods of removal; either heating the wraps up and breaking the seal or soaking in nail polish remover. Since many wraps were already lifting, I opted for the first. They came off easily and I used a little lemon essential oil to remove any lingering stick. After washing my hands I was ready to apply a new set!
This time I felt much more comfortable applying the wraps myself. I did the London Fog Ombré with an Uno Mo Mo accent nail. I love taking a nude neutral tone and making it not so ordinary!
Ten days for me, considering my normal two-day turnaround with nail polish, is impressive. And I love that there are no fumes when I use these nail wraps. None of that toxic stuff to keep far away from the kids. Just pretty nails. I can dig it!
My daughter wanted me to note that she wants nail wraps, too. She is envious of my nails. I think having a non toxic nail wrap that fits little fingernails would be sublime! Pretty please, Jamberry Nails?
Signature Style At Your Fingertips:
If you want the professional nail salon look without breaking the bank {and without toxicity} you can order Jamberry Nails nail wraps online for $15 a pack. I got multiple uses out of my packs! They are Made in the USA, too – which I love! Ileena is offering a free gift to anyone who orders through from Eighty MPH Mom.

The Murcia region
The Costa Cálida, ("Warm Coast") is the approximately 250 km stretch of Mediterranean coastline of the Spanish province of Murcia. This region has a micro-climate which features comparatively hot mean annual temperatures (and hence its name, "Warm Coast") and a relative degree of aridity (precipitation averaging less than 34 cm annually).
The Costa Cálida extends from El Mojón in the north near the province of Alicante, to near the municipality of Águilas in the south bordering on the region of Almería province.
The northern end of this coastline includes the Mar Menor ("Little Sea"), a coastal saltwater lagoon which at around 170 km2 is Europe's largest. The Mar Menor is separated from the Mediterranean by a 22km-long spit of land called La Manga, on which most of the tourism development for the region has been constructed.
Cartagena and Mazarrón are two other important coastal towns in the region.
Golf is a popular pastime for visitors and residents. There are many PGA championship courses such as El Valle which hosted the PGA European Seniors Tour in June 2011, Hacienda del Alamo which is the longest golf course in Spain and the famous La Manga Club which hosts many football teams on warm weather training.
Lo Pagan
San Pedro del Pinatar is a small town and municipality in the autonomous community and province of Murcia, southeastern Spain. The municipality is situated at the northern end of Murcia's Mediterranean coastline, the Costa Cálida, and borders with the province of Alicante. It has an area of almost 22 km², and a population (2008) of 23,738. San Pedro del Pinatar (Saint Peter of the Pinewoods) is about 49 km from the provincial capital, Murcia. The municipality is situated between the Mediterranean Sea coast and the Mar Menor ("Little Sea"), a coastal saltwater lagoon which is the largest in Europe. The Mar Menor coast belongs to other three municipalities: San Javier, Los Alcázares and Cartagena. The latter is not by the Mar Menor itself, but in the Mediterranean. San Pedro del Pinatar occupies a small peninsula with 14 km of coastline between the two seas. The terrain is a mostly low-lying littoral depression, with an average elevation of only 13 m above mean sea level. Fishing and related processing industries have been a mainstay of the local municipal economy, with tourism– and services–related industries playing an ever-increasing role. Salt ponds have been worked in the area since the time of the Roman Empire.
A small port in the Mediterranean Sea exists, with a centered activity in the fishing and the transport of the salt; as well as with a sport port with enough points of mooring. There is another sport port in the Mar Menor next to the market of the fish and the wharf of the fishermen.
San Pedro del Pinatar remains a very popular Spanish holiday destination and the population swells during the summer months as people from Madrid (and other Spaniards) with second homes descend on the area. Lots of free entertainment is provided by the council.
Ethnographic Archaeological museum (Calle Dr. Mirón de Castro: It contains paleontological fossils, objects, etc. It has an exclusive room for submarine archaeology and another one for the ethnographic type dedicated to the last centuries (from the 18th century).
Museum of the Sea (Calle Ingeniero Lorenzo Morales, 2.): marine and marine article collections.
Conservation and research center of the Humedales "Las Salinas" (Avda. de las salinas): it offers interesting exhibitions on the natural park and the work in the salt mines.
"Casa del reloj" or Villa of San Sebastian (Avda. Artero Guirao): an example of modernist architecture. Its Spanish president, Emilio Castelar y Ripoll died in 1899. Since the end of the 20th century it has been reconstructed and turned into a top class restaurant.
Church of San Pedro Apostle (Plaza de la Constitucion): it is a temple that became a franciscan hermitage in the 17th century.
Palace of counts Villar de Felices or Casa of the Russian (C/ Victor Pradera s/n): building in neo-mudéjar style constructed in the 19th century by order of Baron de Benifalló.
Fish Market in Lo Pagán (Explanada of Lo Pagán): a traditional fish auction can be seen.
The "Salinas y Arenales" natural park.

It a get together place for all our friends with good food and reasonable prices. Wkends there is music and pool to play. Just a great hang out place
Prices are good -THE WAIT STAFF could spend a little more time with first time visitors, than just the regulars and the washrooms are far from acceptable.
We went on a Monday for their spaghetti special. Food was good (not great), portions were large, and the service was fast and friendly. It is basically a bar and looks worse for wear but for less then $15 with tip it was a pretty inexpensive dinner.
Usually our first stop for the weekend on a Friday afternoon/evening. Full liquor bar and every 5 drinks you buy, you get 1 free. The wings are good. Live music on Sunday afternoons, nice place to chill out in the afternoon and grab a bite. We've never had any problems, staff is nice. Reasonable prices
A great place to get into a bar room brawl with a drunk or two. A fine place to toss back a few on a hot afternoon. But I wouldn't recommend the food. It's alright if ya don't mind the filth.
Typical bar food, average all the way but everyone seemed to be having a great time.
You know how some people use "tavern" just as a marketing angle. Well, that's what this place has become. It was known for great food, but now it's wings and drinks. The tables are mostly cocktail tables so it's hard to sit down and eat comfortably for most tables. Wings are their specialty. They do have creative flavors - an... More

Annechovie Prints – Delish!
Anne Harwell is this amazing self-taught artist based in Florida that works mainly in gouache/ink and acrylics in some of the most beautiful hues. She just added prints in Annechovie (her etsy store) featuring some of her interior paintings, you have to check them out, they look exactly like some of my favorite rooms from past issues of Domino magazine!
Anne even accepts commissions if you have a picture to send her. I'm positively smitten by her work, as I can imagine framing these and placing several over a credenza in a living room, especially the chairs. Wow.
Great work Anne, thanks for writing in!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Diplomats say they are in touch with Canadian caught in Libyan spy probe
Authorities in Libya allege man isn=E2=80=99t touring archeologist, but
identified in espionage investigation

Globe and Mail Update Published on Tuesday, Sep. 21, 2010 10:31AM EDT Last
updated on Tuesday, Sep. 21, 2010 2:42PM EDT
Canadian diplomats say they are in contact with a citizen who is being
=E2=80=9Cprevented=E2=80=9D from leaving Libya, being made to stay in his
T= ripoli hotel room as local authorities pursue an espionage
=E2=80=9CWe are aware of a Canadian citizen in Tripoli, Libya, who is
being prevented from leaving the country,=E2=80=9D said Catherine Loubier,
a spokesman for Foreign Affairs minister Lawrence Cannon.
=E2=80=9CHe is not currently detained,=E2=80=9D she said. =E2=80=9CHowever
= he is prevented from leaving the country until the investigation is
On Monday, it was revealed that Libya is blocking a Canadian citizen from
leaving his hotel. The man at the centre of this international intrigue
has been identified as Douglas Oriali, though no information clearly
linking a man by that name to Canada has yet surfaced. (The individual
also reportedly has Irish and Australian citizenship.)
Libyan authorities are disputing his account of simply being a touring
archeologist. According to the Libyan newspaper Oea, he claimed to be
concerned about a new British Petroleum offshore rig and was
=E2=80=9Cseeki= ng to warn=E2=80=9D people about its impact on
archeological sites.
According to Oea, local authorities allege that the man is actually
working with U.S. intelligence =E2=80=9Cto gather information aiming to
ens= ure the failure of the drilling project.=E2=80=9D Anonymous officials
have told= the newspaper they are accusing the Canadian of swapping
secrets with an American diplomat, possibly a Central Intelligence Agency
Drilling is to begin soon on the new BP project in the Gulf of Sirte off
Libya's north coast. The project is the result of the a $900-million
exploration agreement that the British oil company had signed with Libya
in 2007.
At 1,700 metres below sea level, the project is deeper than the Gulf of
Mexico Deep Water Horizon project that disastrously ruptured this past
The Mediterranean Sea has served as a birthplace of all manner of early
sea-faring civilizations and archaeologists take a keen interest in
recovering sunken treasures from its coasts.
Jim Delgado, a Canadian archeologist based in Texas, said everyone wants
to avoid a repeat of the Gulf of Mexico spill. But his institute has been
discussing the oil project with Libya, which is taking pains to ensure
drilling doesn't adversely affect any future finds.
=E2=80=9CThey know their rich history,=E2=80=9D he said. =E2=80=9CThey
know= their coastal environment.=E2=80=9D
He said he is perplexed by Libyan allegations that a Canadian has been
caught in the alleged espionage scandal. =E2=80=9CWe don't know this guy,=
=E2=80=9D said Mr. Delgado, president of the Institute of Nautical
Archaeology in Texas.
Formerly the head of the Vancouver Maritime Museum, he added that he knows
most members of the Canadian archeological establishment.

It said Douglas Oriali, who also has Australian and Irish citizenship,

The Canadian embassy, contacted by AFP, refused to comment.
However, the newspaper quoted "sources from the embassy" as saying
Oriali is being held at his Tripoli hotel and that he has been
questioned twice by Libyan security and that his laptop and mobile phone
have been confiscated.
Oea said that under questioning, Oriali supplied the authorities with
his Internet banking details and information about the content of
BP has said it would start drilling off the Libyan coast during the
second half of the year under a 2007 deal with Tripoli allowing it to
drill five wells in the Gulf of Sirte at depths of about 1,700 metres
(5,500 feet).
That is slightly deeper than the Gulf of Mexico BP well that ruptured on
April 20, causing the worst US environmental disaster on record.
On September 7, the Libyan government website said the country has no
stake in BP or any other international oil firms, countering speculation
to the contrary.

Neil and Lettie Weiner are psyched about the opening of their store in the Tempe Square Shopping Center at Guadalupe Road and McClintock Drive in Tempe.
"It's the only one of its kind in the country," said Neil Weiner, a clinical psychologist and an adjunct professor at Arizona State University and the University of Phoenix.
"We're aiming at a younger age group, but we hope eventually the idea will spread and stores like ours will spring up all over the Valley, including for older customers in retirement communities," said Lettie Weiner, a former fifth- grade teacher at Lindbergh Elementary School in Mesa.
The Weiner's business is called Get Psyched! The Store. The 1,000-square foot facility is at 1709 E. Guadalupe Road and nestled between a Turkish restaurant, Efes, and a Baskin-Robbins ice-cream parlor.
Basically, it is a combination retail and community service center that provides information for walk-in customers with questions about psychological issues.
About 15 percent of Get Psyched! The Store's goods are books dealing with psychological topics such as how to deal with sleep disorders, bullying, alternative life styles, improving communication with your children, and using art and music as therapy.
The other 85 percent of the retail items include CDs, games, toys, DVDs and other objects all aimed at helping the customer learn more about issues such as substance abuse, sexuality, weight loss and spirituality.
Art objects created by Valley artists relating to psychological matters, including sculptures and paintings, are to adorn a nearby display.
"Our items dealing with spirituality include all the religions, since religion is an important part of psychology," said Neil Weiner, who for 23 years has treated patients at his Mesa office and has written several books about psychological topics.
Eventually, customers will be able to buy T-shirts with psychologically oriented sayings such as:
"Angels have wings because they take things lightly." Or, "Behind every successful man is a co-dependent woman."
Weiner, originally from New York City and his wife, a native of Mobile, Ala., have two children, Ricia Weiner, 30, also a psychologist who lives in the Washington, D.C., area, and Jay Weiner, 27, a massage therapist in Seattle.
Their children both graduated from Dobson High School in Mesa and the University of Arizona. Ricia will be one of two speakers at a seminar at the store-center April 12 giving helpful insights to parents of elementary school students.
"We realize there are a lot of people out there who might at first question a store like ours," said Neil Weiner. "But we've got to begin the dialogue."
Lettie is the official owner of the store since her husband as an adjunct professor and full-time therapist can't officially own a retail outlet offering psychological help.
"Our goal is to remove the stigma that many people have about seeking information about their mental challenges," Lettie Weiner said.
She said no therapy will be offered at their facility, but potential customers and visitors — in addition to the items they can buy that range in price from $5 to $25 each — will have access to a computerized list of specialists in the Valley for their particular psychological issues.
"We added the name 'The Store' to our business because somebody else already has the name 'Get Psyched' on the Internet," Lettie said. The Get Psyched Web site belongs to a mental therapist in Texas.
The store also offers weekly seminars every Wednesday from 7 to 8:30 p.m. for the general public at a cost of $10 per person or $15 for two.
In addition, the new store provides four credit hours of continuing education courses that are approved by the National Board of Certified Counselors for certified mental health professionals.
Among the specialists who are required to take CE courses in Arizona include social workers, case managers, drug and alcohol addiction counselors, nurses, therapists and psychologists.
"We're a cross between a retail store and a community center," Lettie Weiner said. "And we link therapists with the public."
Her husband added: "We consider ourself a prototype. We're not planning on opening franchises, but we hope our concept is picked up and similar store-centers open all over the Valley and the country. Each store will provide services and needs for the demographics of that particular area."
Sharon Robinson Kurpius, a former professor in the Counseling and Counseling Psychology Department at ASU, described the Weiners as "professionals."
"Their goals are altruistic," said Robinson Kurpius. "And they're in a brand new, virgin territory. I wish them luck."
The Weiners, who officially opened the business Saturday, joined the Tempe Chamber of Commerce and will celebrate a ribboncutting ceremony with chamber members later this month.
"We're always excited when a unique business opens in Tempe," said Mary Ann Miller, president of the chamber. "That's what Tempe is all about — uniqueness."

Police on Monday arrested a woman after she missed her sentencing hearing for a January 2013 break-in that ended with police fatally shooting her husband.
Heather Lynnea Brawley, 26, had been scheduled to appear in Yellowstone County District Court in November for sentencing on one count of burglary.
When Brawley failed to make her court appearance, Judge Ingrid Gustafson issued a $7,500 bench warrant for
her arrest.
Brawley had admitted in a previous court appearance that on Jan. 6, 2013, she and her husband, Daniel Brawley, broke into a house on Miles Avenue, fixed a meal, took a shower and gathered up children's clothing and diapers before police arrived and arrested them.
Daniel Brawley was shot and killed shortly thereafter after he slipped a hand out of plastic ties while in the back seat of a patrol car, climbed into the front seat of the vehicle and tried to drive away.
The car hit an officer, who opened fire on Brawley. A recent coroner's inquest cleared the officer of any wrongdoing in the shooting.
Brawley's sentencing hearing is scheduled for Jan. 31.

lots of good choices for food.
We were woken up at 3 am when a large group of drunk people arrived back in the room next door and proceed to yell back and forth to each other. Security was called but they only got worse after security left. Also-- no nice areas for kids. The pool was beautiful but was 21 and only-- even during the day!
The hotel is clean, relaxed and much nicer than I rememvered. The price point was good and there were many $10 tables!
We did not like the walk from self park to hotel check-in. Long wank and had to walk through casino not so good.
The Modern look of the rooms.
House keeping could have done a better job of dusting and removing left over hairs in the bathroom by pass guests.
Nice room.
Hot tubs could have been hotter.
Location to concert hall.
The carpet was ripped up in the room. There wasn't many food options. Also, the whole hotel smelled like smoke.
staff was very friendly and helpful.
it needs a lot of upgrades, bathrooms were dirty and outdated,
the room was gorgeous and the service was amazing
I like the place my new favorite spot
I enjoyed mostly everything about my trip. Chairman tower had a great view, was very clean. I will be back
I wish the bedding had a comforter and not just a thin blanket
Very surprised at how nice, new and clean the room and bath were.
Parking, location, lobby were not good. The breakfast area, was to small and hot.
It was a good place to be. Not close to casinos but not a bad walk/drive
it was very comfortable everything was very well as place I really enjoyed myself
I didn't have enough time to stay longer
-ice cold rooms due to broken windows -stains on carpet and blankets -the halls reeked of marijuana -left hotel and checked into the Taj Mahal because it was so disgusting
Friendly staff, clean hotel the room was great, had a very comfortable bed.
The rooms next to us were very noisy.
The room was excellent, very comfortable king size bed, and the bathroom was very clean. The room we asked for was a non smoking room. If you want to get the most out of your visit, I suggest two nights and three days. Arrive earlier than check in time because rooms are on a first come first serve. We arrived very late but already knew the room we wanted. On our way out we saw a 24 hour market near the Havana tower .... Was wondering where was that market When we came in. The experience all depends on your partner and yourself. If traveling with children I suggest a different hotel. Kids may not be able to enjoy this place.
Checked in at 12 midnight -did not use the pool -did not get the voucher special because promotions at trip advantage was closed, next morning they said the voucher is voided once we came in. -rooms as nice as the one I had, are not "promised" - the cofee in the room we were at was decaf :-( - The vendin machine for drinks place a Hold on your account of 6 dólars on top of the actual price for example display prive was 3 dollars for a bottle of water but the vending machine charger 9 dollars.
The location was nice and view was amazing. Unfortunately the room was old and dirty.
Absolutely nothing. Even parking and shuttle access was depressing especially the shuttle access.
Stupid bathroom design. Doors hit other doors and when open blocks the vanity. You have to shut the bathroom door to be able to open the toilet door but still somehow you get hit by it! It was the stupidest design ever. Go check room 7405. Which by the way it's not on the seventh floor, it's right infront of the utility equipment. Ironically they call it " ocean tower" which should be called " industrial view" tower. Access to the convention shuttle service at the basement was out dated, cold and unfriendly.
November Showers Their shower needed unclogging. You were showering in your own puddle of water.
We..like the whole experience..started it wit the check in..staff were great..very polite and helpful...food and drink.ere excellent,no complain,well the the place with visit..capprecio..
No ......comments.
I give 3 stars only because the staff was corteous and proffessional. But overall, this hotel is a no-no.
The hotel was conveniently located to the Atlantic City beachfront and it did allow us to bring our dog on vacation. That was the main selling point for our choosing this hotel. However, if one of the other hotels offered pet facilities we would have chosen them.
The thin walls in the facility lent itself to being a noisy stay when the other guests partied late. The management was unresponsive to noise complaints, despite their posted policy about "quiet hours." Security was not what it could have been either. Vagrants could be found loitering around the front of the hotel without visible security to keep them at bay. The room itself had comfortable, if small beds, yet lacks a in-room refrigerator or microwave. The selection of channels on television was disappointing and was a clearly intended to get us to purchase a premium package.
The room was a nice size, clean, comfortable. I liked that the jitney was right across the street, the reason for my stay was that I had something going on at the Golden Nugget. I left the next day so I didn't spend a lot of time in the room, but I will definitely stay there again next time I come to AC.
I didn't wind up staying the night. I cancelled the day of around 2pm and was upset the cancellation fee was equal to the 1 night room rate. When I booked the room I was under the impression it was close to the Tropicana hotel, but I turns out there are two Days Inn in the area and the one close to the Tropicana was not the one I booked the room for. I was going out to dinner in the Tropicana so I cancelled my room at the other Days Inn and stayed the night in the Tropicana.
Dirty, moldy room. Smelled gross the second you walk into the lobby. The ice machine was in a back room next to cleaning supplies and dirty sinks. Location is terrible and the rooms cost too much for a disgusting room. Never again .
To me this is just a place to crash that is all
Everything else
If it rained I would have been indoors. The staff was courteous.
Staying in a homeless shelter would have been a better option. The stains on the carpet in my room could have been modern art. The TV looked like the vintage that came out when the A Team premired The bathroom was so small, there wasn't room to change your mind. The smell of the establishment only can be described as "unique" If I collected the dog hair from the floor I could have woven a door mat I was afraid to sleep under the covers, the only thing missing from this room was a chalk outline of a body to complete the motif.
Clean place, helpful staff, historic facility, nice location.
Reflecting other reviews, the $10 resort fee needs to get squared away with the external reservation booking companies (e.g., Orbitz, etc.). Having staff give me an explanation which I have no insight to validate is unfair to them and the booking companies for providing me (consumer) with a satisfactory response.
The hotel was very nice. Staff friendly and helpful. Room clean and comfortable.
They charged a $10.00 "Resort Fee". When asked what was covered by the fee, the answer was very vague. They should have just added $10 to the rate, rather than having it stand out as an unexplained fee.
The beds were very comfortable and all locations were fast to get to by shuttle service or if you drive yourself.
Our toilet started making weird noises which woke us up. As soon as we flushed it, the noise did stop. It was a little freaky. But overall, great stay!
It was convenient and served its purpose.
The blanket on the bed was like paper. The "free" breakfast was good, but could have had a little more variety of pastries.

House Fire Kills Four People
SPRINGFIELD--Investigators have been on the scene of a deadly house fire, that happened in the wee hours of the morning.
Still sifting through, what remains of a two-story home.
It happened on the 900 block of North Ninth Street.
A much different scene last night, as firefighters spent hours getting the blaze under control.
However, they didn't put it out before four of the five people inside were killed.
A preliminary investigation shows the fire started on the first floor, and spread to the second floor.
We're told one of the victims, was found on the ground floor, while three others were discovered upstairs.
The sole survivor, is a 59-year-old woman, who was able to climb onto the roof of the back porch.
That's where both firefighters, and good samaritans helped get her to safety.
Firefighters said, had it not been for the help of that truck driver and a neighbor, there may not have been any survivors.
Investigators said, this fire was so bad, it may be hard to determine if there were any working smoke detectors.
The Fire Marshall did have his K9 out there earlier, searching for any accelerants, which is protocol.
No word on any cause.

Hacking Keyword Targeting by Serving Interest-Based Searches – Whiteboard Friday
Posted by randfish
Depending on your industry, the more obvious and conversion-focused keywords you might target could be few and far between. With Google continuing to evolve, though, there's a whole host of other areas you might look: interest-based keywords. In today's Whiteboard Friday, Rand shows you how to find them.
For reference, here's a still of this week's whiteboard!
Video transcription
Howdy, Moz fans, and welcome to another edition of Whiteboard Friday. This week we're chatting about keyword targeting and specifically some of the challenges that happen when your keyword targeting list is rather small or hyper competitive and you need to broaden out. One of the great ways you can do that is actually by hacking the interests of the people who are performing those searches, or might perform those searches in the future, or might never perform those searches, but are actually interested in the product or service that you have to offer.
Classic, traditional keyword research is all about focusing on the product or service's purchase intent. Meaning, here's let's say Charles over here. Charles needs to better track his fitness. He knows that what he'd like to able to do is get some tools to track

How Google is Connecting Keyword Relevance to Websites through More than Just Domain Names – Whiteboard Friday
Posted by randfish
We're seeing Google continue to move beyond just reading pages, instead attempting to truly understand what they're about. The engine is drawing connections between concepts and brand names, and it's affecting SERPs. In today's Whiteboard Friday, Rand explains just what Google is doing, and how we can help create such associations with our own brands.
For reference, here's a still of this week's whiteboard!
Video transcription
Howdy, Moz fans, and welcome to another edition of Whiteboard Friday. This week we're talking about how Google connects keyword relevance to websites, particularly how they do this beyond just the domain name.
Obviously, for a long time Google looked at the name of a particular website and the queries that were entered and might rank that site higher if the domain name had some match with the query. We called this the exact match domains or the partial match domains.
For a long time, they did have quite a bit of power. They've gone down dramatically in power. These days MozCast is reporting 2.5% to 3% of domains that appear in the top 10 over many thousands of search results are exact match domains. It used to be above

Back to Fundamentals: 6 Untapped Keyword Sources that Will Boost Organic Traffic
Posted by neilpatel
I used to perform keyword research in the typical, perfunctory way—go to the Keyword Tool, type in some words, and punch out a list of terms.
Easy. Quick. Simple.
Today, things are different. The much-loved
keyword tool has been replaced, long-tail keywords have the ascendancy, and it's harder to figure out what users are actually searching for.
The rules have changed, and so have the ways of playing the game. I still use the
Keyword Planner, but I've also discovered a medley of not-so-obvious ways to get keywords that improve my organic traffic.
1. Wikipedia
Do you think of Wikipedia as just a massive encyclopedia? Think again.
I use Wikipedia for keyword research.
Image from Search Engine Journal.
My process is pretty simple.
Step 1: Google inurl:Wikipedia and my topic. Or just Google the topic or head term. Wikipedia is often the first organic result.
Step 2: Look at the SERP to identify the most relevant terms and possible keywords within a Wikipedia entry.
Step 3: Open the entry in Wikipedia and identify the most relevant terms from the first few paragraphs, morphing them into longail iterations.
Step 4: Identify other relevant … Read the rest

Keyword Research and Targeting Without Exact Match – Whiteboard Friday
Posted by randfish
Whatever the motives behind Google's recent removal of exact-match keyword targeting from AdWords, the resulting uncertainty makes keyword research that much more difficult.

Ohio has been evenly divided for so long that it is hard to remember a time when we were not in this interminable election season or when Ohio was not "in play" or tied. But fortune favors the bold, and momentum and a faltering economy favor the challenger. Governor Romney will pull out the win in Ohio — although I am less sure that this will be final on election night. Polls showing independents breaking two-to-one for Romney, a higher percentage of self-identified Democrats voting for Republicans than vice versa, and Republican voters showing greater enthusiasm as seen in the admittedly less-than-scientific examples of turnout to events — these all point to enough momentum to push Romney over the top. But by how much? I still think that this one is going to be very close. The latest data show approximately 230,000 absentee ballots that have not been returned, which, if postmarked by today, can arrive as late as ten days after the election. The margin of victory in 2008, a landslide by modern standards that no one expects to see repeated in this election, was 262,224 votes. So there is the very real possibility that we may be waiting ten days or more to get the final answer. To avoid litigious counting of absentee and provisional ballots in Ohio, the electoral map will need to expand, as Michael Barone and others have observed.
— Robert Alt is president of Ohio's Buckeye Institute.
I haven't made predictions since I lost $200 to Priscilla Buckley in a bet on the Electoral College in 1980. (I thought Reagan would win narrowly, she correctly predicted he would win big.)
Vote for your country.
— Richard Brookhiser is a senior editor of National Review.
Romney wins the Electoral College with room to spare — somewhere around 300 electors. All four marriage votes in the deepest of blue states (Washington, Maryland, Minnesota, and Maine) will be won by traditional-marriage supporters. This will happen even though supporters of same-sex marriage have outspent us by gargantuan amounts.
If same-sex marriage does pull out a win in one or more of these states, we will hear a lot about it being a tipping-point election for gay marriage. Wiser heads will realize that you don't have a tipping point by winning on ground most favorable to you. The reality will remain that protecting marriage wins, and it wins with larger percentages than Republican candidates receive in statewide elections.
In Minnesota and Iowa, Mitt Romney will defy expectations and score truly historic wins. A state with longest track record of voting for Democratic presidential candidates — nine election cycles — will vote for a Republican. The marriage amendment will be part of the reason.
In Iowa, Evangelicals will turn out in record numbers to defeat the one Supreme Court judge up for retention election, David Wiggins. They will also give the control of the state Senate to Republicans, finally allowing a constitutional-amendment vote to restore traditional marriage in that state. The energy and enthusiasm in support of defeating Wiggins and electing a pro-marriage state Senate will enable Romney to carry the state.
In a nation focused rightly on the presidential election, a quiet revolution will occur in New York. Out of the seven turncoat state senators who voted to redefine marriage, at least six will not be back next year. At least three of the four Republicans will be gone, and all of the Democrats will be as well — forced either to resign or not run again, or thrown out of office by constituents determined to hold them accountable for their vote to undermine marriage.
— Brian S. Brown is president of the National Organization for Marriage.
Being the pragmatist is no fun, but I have Obama winning in a squeaker: 270 to 268. I give Obama Ohio, Nevada, and Colorado; but Romney gets Virginia, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Iowa, and Florida. And here's where I go most out on a limb: I give Romney Wisconsin. This is based less on polls and more on my experiences on the ground in those states over the past year. But the X factor here will be the Mormon ground game. It's been hard to measure, but they could be influential in Colorado and Nevada, in which case Romney can lose another state or two and still win the election. To be honest, though, I have to imagine that some small part of Obama is actually hoping to lose. With the fiscal-cliff headache, an ongoing investigation into Libya that will not go away, and a progressive Left that will want Obama to make at least some advances on the broken promises of 2008, the next four years seem like a nightmare. For us and him.
— S. E. Cupp is co-host of MSNBC's The Cycle.
Other than predicting to a tee the Republican gain of 63 House members in 2010, this writer makes no pretense to political-prognostication skill. That is particularly true of the House this time, where so little attention has been paid relative to the neck-and-neck presidential race and the bitter (as usual) Senate contests. So, bidding NRO to delete this post at its first opportunity on Wednesday, I see:
Mitt Romney wins the presidency, thanks to victory in Ohio and one to two other Midwestern surprises. The ground game of the Susan B. Anthony List, American Majority, the Republican party, and Cincinnati's Citizens for Community Values, the latter of which has not met a media radar that it cannot fly under, saves the state with churchgoing turnout that surpasses even the turnout for Bush in 2004. Victory, however, may not be confirmed until December.
The U.S. Senate stays Democratic, with disappointments in Massachusetts, Montana, and in either the Hoosier State or Show Me State, but not both.
The U.S. House goes slightly more Republican.
Social issues outperform as the lead Republican statewide vote-getter in most states where abortion and natural marriage are on the ballot. Assisted suicide is rejected in Massachusetts.
The Republic staggers to its feet.
— Charles A. Donovan is president of the Charlotte Lozier Institute.
Like Michael Barone, I think there's a wave building the Democrats aren't even aware of. It will make itself known pretty soon.
— Noemie Emery is author of Great Expectations: The Troubled Lives of Political Families.

Re:Grey areas? (582 comments)
Actually, just the other week, I got something which was perfectly timed. I was trying to shop for a birthday gift for a good friend of mine, who loves Smallville (TV show), and has just about every thing that corporate america can shove down our throats, so I was at a serious impasse. I was wading through the spam on my hotmail and got an email about "Meet Lex from Smallville! ADV." I checked it out, and it turned to be a spam for a comic convention that was coming the following week, which would have Michael Rosenbaum (who she has a big "schoolgirl crush" on) signing autographs. Talk about fortuitious!!
That was the one time spam was ever of use to me, and I still use spam filters and rarely sort through them, but this one time of good luck was immeasurably successful in obtaining her what she views as the "best birthday present ever"

On-Campus Parking
The University of Maryland has a complex system for parking on campus. To prevent receiving parking tickets, we ask that you understand and abide by all campus parking regulations. Parking regulations are strictly enforced by the University! National History Day will not be able to intervene on your behalf. The following information is provided to make you aware of the parking requirements on campus. Please carefully read and obey all signs. Persons staying in campus residence halls may request a summer guest parking permit when they check in to campus housing. Those commuting will be able to purchase a parking pass during registration from the Department of Campus Parking. Any car on campus must either display an appropriate parking permit or pay hourly meter machines in visitor parking areas. It is especially important for the safety and security of all that cars do not park in areas designated as fire lanes, handicapped spaces, or service and courier pass areas. Parking in roadways, pedestrian walkways, or on landscaped areas is also prohibited. Short term parking for registration is available in the parking garage across from the Stamp Student Union (Union Lane Parking Garage). Since parking is limited around the center of campus, guests staying in residence halls are strongly urged to park in the numbered lots as indicated on the summer guest parking permit close to their lodging and walk to the competition sites. Please help us help you avoid receiving parking tickets by carefully reading this material and all signs around campus. National History Day and Conference and Visitor Services cannot be responsible for parking tickets of participants or their families, and will not pay for parking tickets. NHD has no control over campus parking or parking rates. For parking inquiries, call 301-314-7275 or visit the UMD Transportation Services website at www.transportation.umd.edu/parking.html . The Department of Transportation Services is located on campus in Bldg #202 Regents Drive Garage, College Park, MD 20742. Their office hours are 8:15 am - 4:00 pm. |

Looking for a fabulous expression of the Bordeaux varietals from Sonoma? Cenyth is your target. The lovely velvety texture and full body are soul satisfying. I had the pleasure of meeting the winemaker and enjoyed tasting these wines.
Winemaker Hélène Seillan spent her childhood in both France and California, surrounded by a family of winemakers and many friends in the industry. Her earliest memories are of great meals around the table with her family, sharing fine wine and good food. Following her father's example, Hélène studied winemaking and worked as assistant winemaker for her father at the family's Bordeaux estate.
In 2006, Hélène was drawn to California and began splitting her time between Sonoma County and Saint-Émilion, working harvests and interning at various wineries. She has the unusual combination of old and new world experience, she eventually worked in virtually every phase of winemaking operations. Her true aspirations became clear and Hélène has taken her degree in Viticulture and Oenology from the Institut Rural de Vayres in Bordeaux and crafted her wine Cenyth.
The inaugural 2009 vintage of Cenyth, a Bordeaux-blend from mountain and hillside vineyards in Sonoma County, was crafted under the close guidance of her father Pierre Seillan. With this wine, she has applied the knowledge and techniques gathered over many years. As a now winemaker, Hélène is melding her experience in the vineyards of France and her passion for Sonoma County to define her own style.

Best of 2011: Pop Culture's Tastiest Bits
- Wednesday December 28, 2011
This year was filled with weird and wonderful movies, music, TV shows and books. Here are our favorites.
This year was filled with weird and wonderful movies, music, TV shows and books. Here are our favorites.
It's the last GameLife podcast of the year. Yes, we're skipping the last week, but to make up for it we're bringing you not one, but two great discussions: the best games and the most disappointing games of 2011.
An interoffice e-mail hit our inboxes one morning: "Have any favorite songs for 2011?" The responses, unsurprisingly, piled in. Before lunch was fully digested it was born: the Wired Top 100 Songs of 2011 playlist. The vetting process had simple criteria: 1) Be submitted by a Wired staffer. 2) Be verified as from 2011. 3) […]
Since the turn of the century, director Brad Bird has galvanized Hollywood with animated masterpieces The Iron Giant, The Incredibles and Ratatouille. Now he's boosted a sagging spy franchise with Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol, his live-action thriller that has ironically blown past comics-based blockbusters like Captain America and Green Lantern to become the year's finest action film.

Power Pitch
Start-up thinks outside the (shoe)box with top menswear
Heather Schnepf at Power Pitch1 day agoStep up your shoe game, says Evan Fript and Ben Earley, founders of Paul Evans, a luxury menswear brand.
Watch the cofounders give their 60-second pitch to a panel with Carter Weiss, founding partner at Silas Capital, Alicia Syrett, founder and CEO of Pantegrion Capital, and Kent Bennett, venture partner at Bessemer Ventures. Will the "Power Pitch" panel make them a shoe in or will they get cold feet? Watch the video to see what happens.
Best foot forward
While working in finance, Fript and Earley searched for affordable and stylish, high-quality shoes. They said they faced limited options in retail stores, so they decided to complement their custom suits with their very own footwear brand. "We know what young, successful, professional men want. We feel strongly that today's man is much more fashion forward and excited about looking great then ever before. This of course includes having the best shoes on the market," said Fript.
"We believe that shoes make the man," added Fript.
More quality for less
Start-up reshaping lingerie
Joanna Weinstein at Power Pitch13 days agoJoin the lingerie revolution, says French entrepreneur Morgan Hermand-Waiche. While shopping for his girlfriend, Hermand-Waiche found only expensive lingerie in limited sizes, an experience that led him to unhook the lingerie industry as we know it. He says his e-commerce start-up takes the best of Zara, Victoria's Secret and Amazon to produce fashionable and affordable intimates.
CNBC gave Hermand- Waiche just 60 seconds to reveal his new lingerie line to a panel of experts with Kelly Hoey, Cuurio Chief Marketing Officer, Nikhil Kalghatgi, Vast Ventures Partner, and Alicia Syrett, CEO of Pantegrion Capital. Will they find his start-up hot, or not? Watch the video to find out!
Boosting bottom lines
The Adore Me website
"We work with the largest manufacturers who supply large brands such as Calvin Klein, Victoria's Secret and DKNY," the founder told CNBC.
Inventory ranges from matching sets of bras and panties, to a plus-size collection, corsets and sleepwear, even swimwear. The founder said his start-up launches 30 to 40 new lingerie sets monthly.
'Smart' glove that controls your phone
Heather Schnepf at Power Pitch22 days agoOne entrepreneur says he's created the perfect device for every sports enthusiast: a high-tech glove to access their phones using their fingertips.
"GoGlove is a wearable, wireless remote to allow you to interact with your smartphone," said inventor Ben Harris.
Watch Harris give his 60-second pitch to a panel with Nihal Mehta, founding partner at Eniac Ventures; Michael Roberts, executive editor of Outside Magazine; and Matt Compton, an REI board member. Will the "Power Pitch" panel get their fingers on this new technology or will they be hands off?
All hands on deck
Avid skiers, Ben Harris and his cousin Eric Ely would listen to music carving down mountains. However, something as minor as changing a song or adjusting the volume meant having to remove bulky gloves. "When I was wearing a glove, I found it impossible to control my music with my phone in my pocket," Harris said.
This set them on a mission to "develop technology designed to simplify our lives and keep us enjoying the moment." The result: GoGlove.
At your fingertips
What the cluck? Start-up cooks up a new burger
Joanna Weinstein at Power Pitch29 days agoOne food industry veteran has some beef with the traditional store-bought burgers. He says he can do healthy burgers better.
"It's 52 percent less fat, has 34 percent fewer calories and it's also certified gluten free," pitched Steve Gold, founder of burger start-up Cluck 'n Moo.
Click the video above to watch Gold cook up his 60-second pitch to a panel with Chef Huda of "Cutthroat Kitchen," Nick Marsh, CEO of Chop't Creative Salad Co., and Nikhil Kalghatgi, partner at Vast Ventures. Will the "Power Pitch" panel eat up his chicken and beef hybrid or call it unappetizing?
Heating up
As a former vice president of sales and marketing for major poultry supplier Murray's Chicken, Gold has more than 30 years in the food industry under his belt.
"With my guidance, Murray's was the first to introduce antibiotic-free chicken and turkey burgers," he told CNBC. Gold then hatched Cluck Inc. back in 2003.
$46k for playing on her phone
Power Pitch1 mth agoOne entrepreneur says you can earn thousands of dollars by playing your favorite mobile games.
Andrew Paradise, founder and CEO of the competition gaming platform Skillz, says killing time playing games on your phone can now make you thousands of dollars. Don't believe him, well he says his company paid $46,000 to one person for doing just that. The catch? You have to be really good at it.
CNBC gave Paradise 60 seconds to pitch his big idea to a panel with Alicia Syrett, founder and CEO of Pantegrion Capital; Kanyi Maqubela, venture partner at Collaborative Fund; and David Wu, partner at venture capital firm Maveron. Will the "Power Pitch" panel say game on—or game over? Game on
Paradise said he became frustrated with mobile in-game ads disrupting his gaming experience. He decided to create an ad-free gaming experience and find a way for game developers to monetize their content. The founder claims that with more than 1.5 billion mobile gamers worldwide, he hasn't just created a new company, he's "created an entire new industry."
Gamers pay a fee for each tournament they enter, and each tournament has different entry fees.
Pot start-up rolls out accessories
Joanna Weinstein at Power Pitch1 mth agoTime for the marijuana industry to get a makeover, says Josh Gordon, founder and CEO of e-commerce start-up The Bureau.
He's weeding out tie-dye and leaf graphics for chic new designs. The 27-year-old said he has high hopes to "raise the standards for the [marijuana] industry," and nix the black-market feel.
"Whether we're talking about a grandmother dealing with [the] side effects of chemotherapy, or a modern professional that consumes recreationally, they deserve to be treated like the high-value consumer they are," said Gordon.
Watch this entrepreneur pitch his pot packaging to a panel with Troy Dayton, CEO of ArcView Group, a firm that connects investors to pot start-ups, David Dinenberg, founder and CEO of KindBanking, and Wendy Robbins, producer and director of "The Marijuana Show." Will the panel be in or nip his start-up in the bud?
Lighting up
Growing up, Gordon spent winters at his family home in Colorado, where the cannabis industry has gone more mainstream.
Start-up packs macho in a box
Joanna Weinstein at Power Pitch1 mth agoOne man says he's created the perfect bromance between a crate and a crowbar. "We hand select stuff that guy's love ... pack it into wooden crates, and send every crate with a crowbar," Jonathan Beekman told CNBC.
Beekman founded ManCrates.com, a company curating gifts solely for men. Its tag line: "We build awesome gifts."
Watch Beekman give his 60-second pitch to an expert panel with Nikhil Kalghatgi, Vast Ventures partner; Kelly Hoey, Cuurio's chief marketing officer; and Paul Cianciolo, FirstMark Capital vice president. Will his start-up be one giant leap for mankind? Or will the panel call it not so "awesome."
Gear, gadgets & grub
"Most people end up settling for a 'consolation gift' like a gift card and get really depressed when their gifts land flat," Beekman told CNBC.
He founded Man Crates in October 2011, with the manifesto "We say 'no' to ugly neckties, cologne samplers and executive trinkets. We don't save wrapping paper, we don't do ribbons."
Start-up gives secondhand a fresh start
Power Pitch2 mths agoA start-up allows consignment store junkies to buy and sell quality secondhand clothing with a tap on a smartphone.
James Reinhart, founder and CEO of re-commerce start-up ThredUP says, "Our mission has been to inspire a new generation of consumers to think secondhand first."
Reinhart had 60 seconds to pitch his start-up, ThredUP, to a CNBC "Power Pitch" panel with Eurie Kim, principal of Forerunner Ventures; Sapna Shah, angel investor and retail expert; and Alicia Syrett, founder and CEO of Pantegrion Capital. Watch the video to find out if they were in or call it a dud!
Think secondhand first
While living in a tiny Cambridge apartment, Reinhart experienced a common problem: He lacked the space to store clothing he no longer wanted.
His vision for ThredUP materialized. He saw busy moms with unwanted clothing and used kid's clothes as an ideal target and launched his online start-up, ThredUP, in 2009.
And to help out those moms on the go, the ThredUP model caters to busy customers. "We send you a prepaid bag. You fill it and leave it on your doorstep. We pick it up right at your house," Reinhart said.
Consignment with class
Honey, I'm Spicy!
Joanna Weinstein at Power Pitch2 mths agoAttention hot sauce enthusiasts. Entrepreneur Casey Elsass has an announcement: "I love you Sriracha, but spicy honey is the next big thing."
At 28, Casey Elsass quit his administrative job at the Metropolitan Opera in New York to co-found condiment start-up MixedMade in Brooklyn with his good friend Morgen Newman. Their first product is Bees Knees Spicy Honey, made from just honey and chili pepper.
Watch co-founder Elsass make his pitch for the sweet and spicy condiment in just 60 seconds to a "Power Pitch" panel with Alexander Smalls, executive chef at The Cecil, Rohan Oza, founder and CEO of Idea Merchants Capital, and Richard Demb, Abe's Market co-founder. Will the panel call it the "bee's knees," or will MixedMade get stung?
Sugar & Spice
Elsass said brand named condiments are chock full of low-quality ingredients. "Food and life should be unexpected and unboring," he said.
Booze on the move
Erin Barry at Power Pitch2 mths agoEntrepreneur Devaraj Southworth says he wants to let the good times flow—with a twist.
"Pull out your Thirstie app, the red wine is at your door in under an hour," pitched Southworth. His start-up, Thirstie, lets customers order wine, beer and spirits through its mobile app and website. Southworth had 60 seconds to take a shot at the "Power Pitch" panel of Jennifer Baum of Bullfrog & Baum, Ellie Wheeler of Greycroft Partners and Lee Schrager of Southern Wine & Spirits. CNBC's Mandy Drury hosted the segment. Will the panel toast to his big idea? Watch the video to find out!
After meeting through their college alumni network, Southworth and his co-founder Max Razmakhin knew they wanted to build a business together, but they didn't know what. Then an opportunity drafted itself. The friends attended several events where they needed alcohol within the hour, but nobody knew of any nearby delivery options.
"We both realized how great it would be if we could just press a button and have alcohol delivered to our doors," Razmakhin told CNBC. The pair observed that they had tapped into a universal pain point.

.- The Holy Father spoke about the needs of the Holy Land this morning as he received 70 participants in the annual meeting of ROACO, the Meeting of Aid Agencies for the Oriental Churches, which is part of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches.
The Holy Father recalled "the Christian communities of the Oriental Churches, subject at this moment to serious trials due to current conflicts, terrorism and other difficulties," noting they "can count on your assistance."
In addition, he thanked them for taking the time during the sessions to look at the situation of the Greek-Catholic Church in Romania. "Thank you for your concern. It is a precious service of solidarity to the neediest."
John Paul II, referring to the collection for the Holy Land which is taken up every Good Friday all over the world, and to the recommendation of his predecessors "to care for the mother Church in Jerusalem," said "it is necessary to persevere, praying intensely for peace for the people who live in the land of Jesus."
"May Christians," he prayed, "who are so tried by the never-ending violence and by numerous other problems that produce economic impoverishment, social conflicts, cultural and human degradation, never lack the support of the entire Catholic Church."
"Thanks to the collection ... it is also possible to contribute to the resolution of problems and to nourish the spirit of acceptance and reciprocal respect, promoting a common will of reconciliation. All of this will contribute to building up peace which is so-longed for," said the Pope.
The Pope emphasized that one of the most important duties of the congregation "in order to sustain pastoral care and the labor of evangelization of the Oriental Churches is the formation of those who give formation." In this sense, he highlighted the economic contribution of the dicastery "in preparing priests, and in following seminarians, women and men religious and lay people so that the Churches may be able to count on expert pastors and responsible and competent lay people."

Although snow has stopped falling, extreme cold is expected to settle in today, overnight, and all day tomorrow.
The staff of the Department of Public Works (DPW) will continue snow removal and salting operations throughout the day and overnight. Extremely low temperatures are expected to result in surface icing of roadways and sidewalks. Please be careful if you must venture outdoors.

How long does it take you to get your wort to a rolling boil? What equipment do you use?
I have a typical turkey fryer setup and it takes 30-50 minutes to get to a rolling boil. About 10 minutes per gallon.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!" "I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
seems like 30 minutes or so with around 4 gallons starting cold. but my stove is an old commercial wolf stove that cranks out an obscene amount of heat. i can bring a small pot to with cold water (like for pasta) in about 3-4 minutes. i love it.
I just tried it on my kitchen stove and gave up after 2 hours. What do you reckon to this. 9kw. standard single ring burnrers seem to me aroun 5.5kw
3kw is about 10,000 btu. My cheapo turkey fryer is about 65,000 btu. If this is what you have available, I'd recommend sticking to 2-3 gallon worts and topping off to 5 gallons. The two batches I did this weekend were mini-mashes. 2 1/2 gallons of water + grains, then added the extract & boiled. Worked out very well. Although I did these on gas/propane burners, I've done similar batches on my electric stove. On the plus side for electrics, you can set them on low and keep your mash warm. That's tricky with propane.
Orfy, are you able to get propane there in the UK? I was able to get it while I lived there but on US Base.

Beer!" -Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, Friar Tuck.Next up: Hefe Weizen
Yes we can get propane but not a chance with turkey fryers. last quote I got for shipping from the states was $120.
How about just building your own cooker using something like this. Even if you had to order it from the states, it's be much less weight to ship. Even less and easier to hook-up would be a burner like I'm using. It boils 6.5 gallons in about 40 minutes.
Thanks ScottT. If my second attempt doesn't work then it may be that I need to ship something over. I'm going to try this. Edit: Around 1 hour for the boil on 6 gallons (I wonder if it'll be much difference for wort) And I chilled it in less than 15 minutes with my new wort chiller. I may reduce the size of the chiller becuase it doesn't all submerge in the wort.

The Wolverines lost to Kentucky in the Elite Eight this season."Robinson III started the season as a potential pick but has watched his stock fade while struggling to prove to scouts that he can hit enough perimeter shots to play the 3 in the NBA," ESPN draft analyst Chad Ford said about Robinson.The 6-foot-6, 220 pounder, is the son of former Purdue All-American Glenn Robinson.

Celebrating its 50th national anniversary this year, the 2011 Salone Internazionale del Mobili welcomes expected 2,720 participants to the Milan Fairgrounds, Rho in Milan. Currently underway from April 12 -17, the annual expo also includes the International Furnishing Accessories Exhibition, the biennial Euroluce (International Lighting Exhibition), and SaloneUfficio (International Biennial Workspace Exhibition), and SaloneSatellite throughout the city. The exhibition features a new layout for exhibitors and an extended design sector, as well as a new Eurolace collection via four, single-story pavilions. (Visit our TalkContract blog for ongoing show coverage.)
"Innovation lies at the heart of all the events: innovation in people and in things, looking back at the past with an eye to the future," reads a release from Cosmit/iSaloni in regards to its history. As a sign of its continued progress and development, Salone Internazionale del Mobili will debut the first "Salone del Mobile" and incorporate a mobc3 mobile platform for attendees with Smartphones (set up available at www.mobc3.com) that automatically links to the Saloni preview application and provides real-time information during the show, including show events, parking information, and local traffic updates.
Throughout the grounds, multiple installations honor of the expo's milestone occasion and continued innovation. The Eurolace pavilion at Piazza della Scala-Piazza San Fedele features each evening from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m., a recreated lucus (an ancient sacred grove of trees with religious significance), called "The Arbour" (shown right). Designed by Attilio Stocchi, the display recreates this historic "city heart" and serves as a Theatrum Naturae, resonating with the recorded sounds of numerous bird species and depicting the movement of light throughout the day to reconnect the visitor with nature. Meanwhile, the "Principia – Forward Arts," an exhibit at the Piazza Duomo, designed by Denis Santachiara in collaboration with the Solares Fondazione delle Arti, showcases the imagined future of design via a pathway through a "molecular" pavilion of eight rooms that reinterpret innovative scientific discoveries as creative works or audio, architectural, and industrial art.
Other Salone-related events in the City of Milan include the Triennale Design Museum has dedicated its fourth edition, entitled "Dream Factories," on exhibit from April 5, 2011 through February 26, 2012, to those who have helped build and foster the Italian design system. In February, the theatrical performance "Great Hands, Without End The birth and ascent of design in Milan: the Castiglionis, Magistretti, Menghi, Sottsass, Viganò, Zanuso," by Laura Curino and produced by Piccolo Teatro di Milano, was opened by Cosmit, in collaboration with Fondazione Giannino Bassetti, FederlegnoArredo, and the Milan and Monza-Brianza Chambers of Commerce.
The Salone Internazionale del Mobili has grown from 12,100 visitors with 328 exhibitors in 1961 to a total of 297,460 visitors in 2010. More information is available at www.cosmit.it.
