The nominees for Best Action-Adventure Game of 2010 are...
And the winner is...
Though it faced some tough competition in 2010, Rockstar San Diego's Red Dead Redemption absolutely blew us away with its engaging plotline, sumptuous visuals, and intense action sequences. Like many games nowadays, Red Dead Redemption astounds at first sight, but its subtleties continue impress five, ten, even twenty hours into the experience (we still can't get over the game's gorgeous day/night cycle). With all sorts of characters and critters scurrying around, Rockstar's Old West is expansive but certainly not desolate; in fact, the world positively teems with life. Toss in a superb soundtrack, a comprehensive morality system, and a fantastic suite of multiplayer options; the end result is a polished, creative take on the open-world genre that redefines the western. John Ford would be proud.
And the Community Award goes to...
The PSU community saw it fit to bestow the vengeful Kratos with the community award for Best Action-Adventure Game of 2010, awarding God of War III a sizable 48.1% of the overall votes in the category. Red Dead Redemption lassoed the silver medal, accumulating 26.9% of the votes. Ezio and his comrades just barely snuck onto the podium; 16.7% of votes went to Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Bayonetta and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow split the remaining votes, 4.6% for the former and 3.7% for the latter.

When Electronics Get Wet
I've revived a couple of soaked laptops and iPods, and if the machine isn't turning on, you pretty much have to disassemble it as fully as possible. You can find guides all over the internet. Cole's Hardware has little screwdriver kits that work well.
Once it's apart, you'll most likely see that the circuits have white sediment on them. I'm not sure what actually causes that to happen, but it causes (temporary) short circuits. If you get some denatured solvent alcohol from a hardware store and wipe the sediment away with cotton swabs and a toothbrush (don't breathe too deeply--it's not poisonous, but it is irritating), you should be able to get most, if not all, of the components working again.
Be careful not to let the display get soaked by anything, including the alcohol, because it won't function again after that. That's the part that's most likely to need replacement, and unfortunately, displays are not cheap. My fiancées iPod nano got soaked recently, and I was able to get everything but the display to work--and it costs $50 to get a replacement from a third party. Meh.

If it does get wet...

I'd like to add to this that if any electronic item gets wet, you need to remove the power ASAP.
If it is a laptop remove the cord(if plugged in) AND remove the battery. If iPod or camera or ?? remove their batteries / power ASAP.
You have a better chance of drying out and saving you item if you do this.
Just my 2 cents...

GRANTS PASS, Ore. — The man charged with robbing banks in Grants Pass is now in custody. Mark Alan Cardinal, 58, of California is being charged with robbery and theft in the first and second degree. On Monday around 11:30 a.m., Grants Pass Police officers and detectives responded to a reported bank robbery at Chase Bank, inside Fred Meyer along Grants Pass Parkway. According to a 911 caller, a man walked into the bank armed with a firearm in his waistband and walked up to the teller. He presented a note demanding cash and after obtaining the money he was last seen fleeing the bank on foot.
Following the robbery, the suspect's description was given out and officers were noted to the similarity of the suspect from at least two previous bank robberies in Grants Pass earlier this year. In March, it was the same Chase Bank inside Fred Meyer, and after that the U.S. Bank in Albertson's on Allen Creek Road in April. Detectives were able to observe surveillance video from the previous robberies and confirmed that the suspect was one and the same, and saw that in the previous Chase Bank robbery he was seen leaving in a mid-sized four door sedan.
A detective from the Grants Pass DPS spotted a white four door sedan being driven southbound on Redwood Highway by a subject that closely resembled the suspect from the Chase Bank robbery earlier Monday. Oregon State Police detectives and a trooper also observed the subject and conducted a high risk traffic stop in the 24,000 block of Redwood Highway at about 12:30 p.m. The driver was detained and positively identified as the robber, Mark Alan Cardinal. He was transported to the police station where he was interviewed by a special agent from the FBI and a Grants Pass DPS detective.
Cardinal was arrested and lodged at the Josephine County Jail. He is believed to be responsible for other bank robberies in Josephine County which are actively being investigated by Oregon State Police and the FBI.

Exclusive pictures of John Mayer's home!
Thursday 11:19 PM, 12/06/2008
Jennifer Aniston's boyfriend John Mayer's house isn't as impressive as Jen's and wasn't as expensive either but $2.1 million isn't exactly pocket change! The house was built in the seventies and has 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and is about 300 square meters big! Since Jen's house is by the ocean and is bigger our guess is that the couple spends most of their time there. Maybe it's time to buy something together soon?!

In the Victorian language of flowers, basil signified love or good wishes. In Ancient Greece, it was the "royal" herb. In India, it is sacred and is believed, in the Hindu religion, to protect the dead from evil. It is often planted around temples there. In Italy, it signifies love, and a pot of basil placed on the windowsill of a single woman indicates her willingness to entertain suitors.
"A man taking basil from a woman will love her forever."
Sir Thomas Moore
So goes the famous quotation, and I abide by it wholeheartedly. I put basil in just about everything, and so far, my husband has stuck with me for going-on 15 years.
This hot, hot summer, when my garden scorched early on and never recovered, one crop managed to survive. That crop was basil. It's done remarkably well despite the heat, and we've eaten it in a wide range of recipes from main courses to drinks to desserts. We've added it to sauces, put it on pizzas, made a delicious basil simple syrup to add to lemonade for an interesting twist, tossed it with fresh berries and balsamic vinegar, and made countless caprese salads and sandwiches. This summer, I discovered Thai basil stir-fry, and I've begun adding it to all of my fried rice and stir-fried dishes. If you can cook it, you can add basil to it.
Now that summer's winding down, it's almost time to harvest what remains of it and make one last batch of pesto for the freezer. I freeze the vibrant sauce in ice cube trays and pop them out as needed. Adding a cube or two to your pasta or pizza sauce takes it from delicious to divine. Thawed and tossed with hot pasta, pesto makes a quick and easy meal for a busy night. Used as a sandwich spread, it elevates grilled cheese, turkey, or vegetable sandwiches to "favorite" status. I love basil for its delicious flavor, its preservability (it's a fantastic memory of summer in the middle of winter!), and its versatility. Not to mention its man-catching properties.
A few of my favorite basil recipes:
Basil Lemonade
1 cup basil simple syrup (see below)
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
6 cups cold water
Mix well and serve over ice, garnished with fresh basil sprigs.
Basil Simple Syrup
Bring 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water to a boil. Add 1 cup fresh basil leaves; remove from heat. Let cool, then strain leaves out. Add to iced tea or lemonade.
1-2 cloves garlic, peeled
2 TBSP pine nuts, toasted in a skillet until fragrant
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
2 cups fresh basil leaves
Olive oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
Whir the garlic and pine nuts in the food processor until minced. Add the basil and cheese. With motor running, add olive oil in a thin stream through the feed tube until desired consistency is reached (should be spreadable but not too thin or it gets too oily). Add salt and pepper to taste. Can be used immediately or frozen in ice cube trays. Once frozen, pop out of trays and store in freezer in a zip-top bag.
The BBT Sandwich
2 slices whole-grain bread, toasted
Thick-sliced tomato
Handful of fresh basil leaves
3 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked
Mayonnaise (the good stuff)
Spread mayonnaise onto bread. Layer tomato, basil, and bacon on top, then top with second slice of bread. Can add lettuce, avocado, cheese, etc., if desired.

Linda - I do, too! Basil and tomatoes...they were made for each other.
Persistent Muse - I did, too! Yum. :)
Theresa - Pesto is in my plans for this week. My freezer stash is gone, and I need to restock.
Linda - it is! Let me know what you think if you try it.
Bell - I wonder if it would grow in hanging pots, to keep the slugs out? I also like Fusun's idea of growing it indoors. I may have to try that!
Grace - I agree about the store bought pesto. Freezing it seems to work, though. The olive oil keeps it from turning dark, and it still tastes very fresh, to me. Give it a try!
mynameise - I will always grow basil, even if I grow nothing else. :) It's pretty forgiving in the garden, and the aroma is fantastic.
Lucy - I love it in lemonade, too. Enjoy the BBT! I was hoping to repeat it for lunch today, but the bacon snatchers came through my kitchen and ate what I was trying to save. Not sure if I'll make it back to the grocery store BLT (before lunch time).
Fusun - I had never thought to grow it indoors. I'm going to try that, for sure! I'm always sad when summer ends and it dies out. Thanks for the idea!

text: Discovery Channel defends dramatized shark special 'Megalodon'By Breeanna Hare, CNNUpdated 1237 GMT (1937 HKT) August 9, 2013Just WatchedDid Discovery Channel jump the shark?replayMore Videos ...Did Discovery Channel jump the shark? 03:10Story highlightsThe Discovery Channel is facing criticism for a shark week specialIt explored whether the prehistoric megalodon could still exist todayDisgruntled viewers poked fun at the show onlineHowever, the special also brought in record ratingsWith all of the fake sharks flying around TV lately, some viewers wish the Discovery Channel would stick just to the facts. On Sunday, the network kicked off its popular predator-infested extravaganza, Shark Week, with the premiere of a dramatized special that explores the existence of prehistoric sharks called megalodons. Discovery billed the special, "Megalodon: The Monster Shark That Lives," as taking viewers "on a search for a massive killer great white shark responsible for a rash of fatalities off the coast of South Africa." Viewers were expecting to watch shark experts and scientists examine evidence that the massive creatures could still be swimming around somewhere. The only problem is that, as National Geographic notes, the megalodon has been extinct for millions of years, and viewers have complained they weren't presented with any evidence to the contrary. "Dear discovery channel, your fake documentary that you are trying to pass off as reality is upsetting," tweeted one viewer. "The director of blair witch just tweeted that the #megalodon show is the worst thing he has seen since the blair witch project," said another. David Shiffman, a doctoral student studying shark ecology and conservation at the University of Miami's Abess Center for Ecosystem Science and Policy, told Nat Geo that he wouldn't expect this kind of programming from Discovery. Just WatchedHasselhoff's 'sharking' performancereplayMore Videos ...Hasselhoff's 'sharking' performance 03:37PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedCNN Explains: Shark attacksreplayMore Videos ...CNN Explains: Shark attacks 02:17PLAY VIDEO"If this megalodon special had aired on the Syfy Channel, I probably would have loved it," he said. "But Discovery bills itself as the premier science education television station in the world, and they're perpetuating this utter nonsense."The executive producer of Shark Week, Michael Sorensen, points out that Discovery aired three disclaimers for "Megalodon," including that "none of the institutions or agencies that appear in the film are affiliated with it in any way, nor have approved its contents." Additionally, the network warned that "certain events and characters in this film have been dramatized," and that "legends of giant sharks persist all over the world; there is still debate about what they may be." It seems the point of "Megalodon" was to raise questions more than present answers. "With a whole week of Shark Week programming ahead of us, we wanted to explore the possibilities of Megalodon," Sorensen said. "It's one of the most debated shark discussions of all time, 'can Megalodon exist today?' It's (the) ultimate Shark Week fantasy. The stories have been out there for years and with 95 percent of the ocean unexplored, who really knows?"It's clear that TV audiences are interested in finding out. The "Megalodon" show brought in record ratings for Discovery, with 4.8 million viewers tuning in. In the 26-year history of Shark Week, "Megalodon" is the highest-rated and most-watched Shark Week episode to date.

Achievements: Are they worth it?
by promist_land on Comments
Do you remember when your friend would tell you that he/she beat a game you struggled on, and kind of rubbed it in your face? Maybe he/she helped you instead. Maybe you beat the game and did one of the two, but it seems now, unless you have a high gamerscore, or a lot of tropheies, that doesn't even matter. Yes, the achievements on the Xbox 360 offer somewhat of a new gaming experience, but for what? People try so hard to get their gamerscore extremely high in order to be on top of the Xbox LIVE leaderboards, but have they ever stopped to think about why? Now, I know that not everyone is like that. I know if you play the game, you're bound to unlock ahievements along the way, but for those who want a high gamerscore, why? Honestly, what do you accomplish by unlocking these achievements? Have you really accomplished something by falling 16ft in the air on Dead Rising? Have you really accomplished something by using warp 50 times on Mass Effect? Didn't you play a game in order to beat it? Now, I'll also admit I got all of the acievements on Resident Evil 5. I saw it as an oppurtunity to see what all of the hype was, but obviously, I failed to comply. People have been beating games for how long now. Why should we get numbers that quite honestly, don't even matter?

Esquire has bestowed its annual "Sexiest Woman Alive" title on Mila Kunis.
The magazine described the actress as "the most beautiful, opinionated, talkative, and funny movie star that we've all known since she was nine."
Kunis, 29, is known for her role on "That '70s Show" and in films like "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," "Black Swan," "Friends with Benefits" and "Ted." She also provides the voice of Meg on "Family Guy."
"What I do and who I am are two different things. And they always will be," she said in an interview with the magazine. "What happens with people is they lose sight of who they are, and they become either who they want to be or who they are perceived to be."
She added, "I think that if I bought into the hype, I would lose all sight of who I am, and so much of who I am is what my parents went through and instilled in me. And I never want to lose that. Ever. Because I would be so disappointed if I didn't make them proud."
Kunis, who appears topless (with her back facing the camera) on the Esquire cover, also discussed politics, coming to the U.S. from Ukraine when she was 8 and her feelings on living in New York and Los Angeles.
The "Oz: The Great and Powerful" actress succeeds Rihanna, who was Esquire's "Sexiest Woman Alive" for 2011.
Kunis' interview and a video from her cover shoot can be found at the magazine's website.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2009) |
Briana Corrigan (born 30 May 1965) is a Northern Irish singer. She was the first female singer for The Beautiful South, from 1988 to 1992.
She was born in Northern Ireland, but when she was eleven years old, her family moved from Belfast to Portstewart, County Londonderry. She moved to Newcastle upon Tyne in England at the age of eighteen study for her BA in Creative and Performing Arts and, while there, she began singing with The Anthill Runaways. Go! Discs Records, who were considering signing the band, made her an offer to travel to Hull and sing with Paul Heaton and Dave Hemingway of The Beautiful South. Soon after she was asked to go to Milan with the band to help record their debut album, Welcome to the Beautiful South. She appeared alongside Dave Hemingway on the band's only UK Singles Chart number 1 single, "A Little Time".
After appearing on three albums, Corrigan left the band in 1992 to pursue a solo career. The decision was prompted partly by a desire to record her own work and partly by ethical disagreements with some of Heaton's lyrics, particularly songs such as "36D", which criticized British glamour models and the industry that employed them.[citation needed] Hemingway later remarked, "We all agree that we should have targeted the media as sexist instead of blaming the girls for taking off their tops".[1][2][3]
Her time with the band culminated in one of the fastest-selling British albums in history, Carry On up the Charts – The Best of the Beautiful South. After she left the band, she reunited with producer Mike Hedges who had produced the first two TBS Albums, and recorded the solo critically acclaimed album, When My Arms Wrap You Round, in 1996 on East West Records. The first single, "Love Me Now", peaked on the UK Singles Chart at No.48.[4] This was the only single released as Corrigan and her Record Company parted company a few months after the album's release.
Corrigan relocated to Dublin, Republic of Ireland where she wrote and recorded an album with ex-A House frontman, Dave Couse. The album was never released although both have recorded songs from that period in later solo works. She was also part of the Dublin music collective, Lokomotive, which released a number of singles on an independent label. Corrigan then stepped away from the music industry to secure a Masters Degree in Creative writing from Queens University Belfast and split her time between bringing up her young family, acting and writing. In 2006, she performed in the first Irish tour of 'Mum's The Word' – a West End hit described by Stage magazine as, 'a wickedly funny account of motherhood that nobody should miss'. In 2006, she returned to the studio to write and record a new album. The end result was the 2012 album, Red Bird, released on her own label, Redbird & Anchor Records. The same year she wrote her first play which toured nationally throughout Ireland and Scotland in Autumn, 2012.

FBI warns retailer stores of further malware attacks
Posted By Jeff Belanger On January 24, 2014 @ 8:19 AM In General Tech | 1 Comment
The FBI believes that we haven't seen the end of the malware attacks that have affected companies like Target [2].
They have given out a report, called "Recent Cyber Intrusion Events Directed Toward Retail Firms", which is confidential, to retail companies and it outlines the danger presented by malware that is "memory-parsing" and infects POS systems.
"We believe POS malware crime will continue to grow over the near term, despite law enforcement and security firms' actions to mitigate it," said the report, according to Reuters, who have a copy of it. "The accessibility of the malware on underground forums, the affordability of the software and the huge potential profits to be made from retail POS systems in the United States make this type of financially motivated cyber crime attractive to a wide range of actors."
In the attacks that have just occurred, the malware uses a software known as a "RAM scraper", which is able to capture the information of a credit or debit card after it has been swiped and during the the encryption process. Some of these malware programs even have the ability to be accessed and upgraded remotely, making them even harder to detect.
Apparently the National Retail Federation are "alert" and ready for further attacks.
"Retailers have been and remain vigilant in their efforts to provide the highest level of security for their data systems in order to protect against malicious and criminal acts," Tom Litchford, the NRF' Vice President, said via statement. "As the criminal investigation continues and more information becomes available, you can be sure that the retail industry will be responsive and engaged to ensure this particular cyber-attack does not happen again."

Reviews for this vacation villa rental in Bradenton, Florida

Fabulous Villa
October 25, 2014
We stayed at this villa for two weeks with friends and would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to stay in a spacious luxurious property. Decor, furnishings and equipment could not be faulted. This property was immaculate, tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. The position on the lake was perfect and being in a gated community helped to make it very peaceful. The pool was one of the cleanest that we have come accross. The only minor downside of the villa was that there was was no helpful house notes, so finding out how everything worked and what everything was for, became a bit of a challenge. A remote control found in the kitchen had been opening and closing the garage door a few times before we realised it and it was about day 3 of our holiday before we realised that another remote control in the kitchen could be used to open the gates to the estate. Those niggles aside, we could not fault either the villa or the agent (Pauline) who was very helpful and attentive. We had a great holiday at this beautiful villa.

Fabulous Home
June 29, 2014
Everything about this home and our vacation in Bradenton was without a doubt the best vacation my family has ever taken. The home was gorgeous, but felt homey. We were in the middle of everything, whether it be the gulf, fishing, dining, shopping it was all there at our fingertips. From the time we made our reservations until we left we felt welcome. It was the vacation of our dreams come true. This was much more than five stars. Thank you to the Ebelings and thank you Vacation Home Rentals.

Lovely home!
April 18, 2014
Two couples stayed at this home for a two week period. We found our stay very relaxing and comfortable. The home is located in a quiet and well kept neighbourhood. The heated pool was delightful and quite private. There was lots of room inside the tastefully decorated home to stretch out and feel at home. It was well equipped and clean so our stay was a pleasure. We had a small issue with the screening on the lanai and it was dealt with the next day. The property manager was helpful and approachable....thank's Pauline. I can speak for all of us that everyone enjoyed our stay there. Thank you to the owners for sharing this lovely home.

Great stay, great service
November 24, 2013
Thank you for providing a great base of operations for our family reunion / getaway in Florida. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. From the central location, proximity to stores and attractions, and customer service from the management company (thanks Pauline), we loved every minute at Mandalay 2. We have rented homes and condos while vacationing in the past, and have never experienced a better equipped/stocked home than this one (in terms of dishes, towels and linens, small appliances, chairs, pool accesories, etc.). We were able to meet all our needs, and because everything was so convenient, we actually only ate one meal out. Spending time with family in the comfort of our own home away from home was much better than meeting in restaurants nearby. The neighbours we met while taking morning walks were all very friendly. It was fun to watch the variety of birds, turtles and geckos in the pond behind the house. The only thing that could have been a little better would be a supply of basic goods like toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, etc. We had to go find these items right away. Not a really big deal, but something that everybody thought was lacking a little. Thanks to Chris next door for coming over to fix a minor air conditioner issue also. He introduced himself the first day we were there, and it was great knowing we had support nearby, if required. Thank you Fred and Mrs E. for sharing your wonderful home.

Family Reunion
April 26, 2013
We held our family reunion here and were very happy with everything. The kitchen and dining room tables had enough room to accommodate all 7 of us comfortably and the bedrooms were well spaced for privacy. The owners, Fred & Donna were very responsive to our emails and calls and overall we had a very enjoyable time. The Sharpe Family

Amazing House!

My family and I stayed at this amazing house March 1st-March 8th. It's absolutely beautiful and the pictures do not do it justice. Everything we needed was there to make our stay perfect. We would defintiely reccommend this house 100%. We had plenty of room for my husband and I and our adult children as well. Perfect!

Our family spent 2 weeks here and we were in love with it. The house was beautifully decorated and had plenty of space for our large group of 9. The pool/pool area was also very large and we thoroughly enjoyed it too. The gated community was very quiet and mad us feel very secure while we were there. We would definetly recommend this vacation home to anyone who is interested...a 5 star indeed!!! Also the owners were very easy to deal with and answered any questions/concerns that we had...thanks again Fred and Donna!!

this is our third year at mandalay and we enjoyed it all. The house had some new additions to it and was spotless when we arrived. Every day we had super weather -only had rain a couple of nights. we love the area and mandalay is a very quiet gated community -all the residents have a yard sale in March but this year they did not have it so we did miss that -you also get a chance to chat with the people who live there hopefully we can back next year - thank you Fred and Donna for letting us enjoy your beautiful home

Beautiful Home, Awesome Vacation
March 5, 2012
The home was huge and beautifully decorated, and very clean. Kitchen was spacious and equipped with everything you could need. Bedrooms were large, beds were very comfy. Closets were stocked with lots of linens, including towels for the pool. Nice laundry facilities. Pool was warm, and the outside area overlooking the lake was great for entertaining. Pictures do not do the house justice. We felt very much at home. The house was central to great shopping and restaurants and easy to get around. We had a wonderful vacation.It was the first time we had rented a home for a week, it was a great experience... a week was definitely not long enough. Would love to do it again. Thank you to Pauline for answering any questions and to Fred and Donna, you have a beautiful home. Thank you for sharing it with us.

5 Star Florida Vacation
February 28, 2012
A fantastic house. Although not on the beach the pool and patio with lake view more than compensate. Easy to get to off I75 and close to shopping and restaurants. Good golf within 15 minutes. We hope to return next year.
Owner's reply:
Thank you for your kind review. We agree with you regarding our lakeside heated pool vs. the beach. Unless one is directly on the beach (very high rent), you need to drive and tote your stuff there. In the winter months the Gulf water is freezing cold, and you have to use the local concessions and public restroom facilities. We are close to a number of restaurants, the outlet mall (SOF, Brooks, Polo, etc.) is two exits away on I-75, and there are ten golf coures nearby. We are happy that our house fit your needs nicely, and hope to host your return visit. Thanks again!

Beautiful home, wonderful vacation!

We LOVED this house!! The pictures don't do it justice. The house was very clean and the furnishings are beautiful. Looked like everything was brand new. There was more than enough room for four single women who are used to their own space. Bigger families or groups would have plenty of room, too. We loved each having our own bathroom and bedroom and our own part of the house. Plenty of space to go and get away if we needed to. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a few meals in. The pool area was beautiful. The pool itself was large and the there was plenty of deck space for hanging out or eating outside. There was interesting wildlife out around the lake. The neighborhood was quiet and we felt perfectly safe. The location was great. Convenient to several beautiful beaches, lots of shopping and close to grocery stores, Wal-Mart, etc. Lots of stuff to do in the area. The owners were easy to work with and we appreciate them letting us use their home for a week!!

An independent producer is looking for "video diarists" teens who chronicled on videotape some crucial, affecting period of their friends' or families' lives for a series of half hour programs to be aired on HBO.
The series falls under the banner of Family Programming, and is intended to help others realize that they are not alone in their problems: teenage-pregnancy, a brother dying of cancer, a father struggling with an alcohol problem, a friend in drug rehab, or other crises that we have to deal with which change our lives.
The producer will help you shape your story, but the story itself remains yours to be told. If you have footage already shot, you've probably used the medium of videotape to gain a better understanding of the difficult situation around you. Give others a chance to see your drama; give them a chance to help heal themselves.
If you are a teen with videotape of something like this, or if you know any teenager who has filmed such a crisis, please contact Aviva Slesin at:

Summer road trips should be safe and fun for the whole family. They take a lot of careful and thoughtful planning. Before people embark on any preparation, they need to get to know the route they will be taking for their road trip. This should be available in a relevant map which can be easily followed. It should include all the trip's destination details. Friends or family staying behind should be briefed on intended routes. In cases where sudden route changes are inevitable, drivers need to be well equipped within alternatives. The driver should never be the one reading the route map.
This role should be designated to a passenger to ensure that he concentrates. Read the rest of this entry »

Girls' Christopher Owens Calls Communist Leader Mao Zedong a 'Hipster'
The Chairman "was just being edgy, smart and informed."
In Mike Powell's SPIN review of Lysandre, the solo debut of Christopher Owens, he identifies the former Girls singer as "a proud reader of books." Indeed, the San Francisco-based artist often uses his Twitter feed to share tidbits from his literary pursuits, and from December 19 to December 27, the guy's feed was overrun with factoids from an unspecified book on Chairman Mao Zedong. In a fresh interview with Purevolume — in which he also discusses his new "romantic outlook" — Owens explains his obsession with the revolutionary Chinese communist.
"I was just kind of surprised how interesting [Mao] was when he was younger. I liked him all of a sudden," he says. "He really is just a bit of a hipster. He just wanted to hang around with other guys who were smart. There was a lot of revolution going on around him, so it wasn't exactly a novel concept. He was just being edgy and smart and informed. He was pretty much an idealistic freedom fighter. Before that, he was just a student. In my mind I figured he was somebody I would want to hang around with when he was a teenager. He didn't do anything evil until he was much older. He got a little crazy."
Mao, of course, is known as the Father of the Chinese Revolution and continues to be a hugely controversial figure long after his death. He is known for transforming China from an impoverished agrarian society into an industrially equipped world power with emphasis on improving education and overall quality of life for his people. On the other hand, his violent suppression of in-country opponents and the risks that he took under the guise of betterment made him a monster in the eyes of many, having caused the deaths of millions via executions and starvation. So, totally Williamsburg.
In his interview with PureVolume, Owens also talks about the fact that he's tired of talking about the fact that he ended Girls, and that his new album's title comes from the name of a girl who he loved but eventually lost. Lysandre is currently streaming over at the New York Times.

Best is none.
Just for the record, I have several dynamic URLs recently deepfreshbotted(?) Jun. 21 just like so...
including new URLs that was just created a few days before June 21.
Go figure ;)
anything after a question mark in a url, the formula being something like this
fullurl?variable1=value1&variable2=value2& etc ....
we are not just talking about getting spidered, you can get spidered all you want and wont necessarily rank for anything.
2 variable max but none will rank better every time. The more competitive the term the more important it becomes to have no vars in the url.
Tried tested and true on every size site you can imagine and as many languages. Every site that has been redone with out variable strings in the url has improved ranking, no exceptions.
If you are starting a site, always stay away from query strings. It is much easier to do at the beginning than it may be to get rid of them later.
I had a site with a static directory (similar structure to DMOZ) that got very good rankings in google - probably a combination of good structure, static pages, and page topics in the URL. I then switched to a dynamic directory because the program runs much better.
Pages with 2 variables get spidered and indexed and seem to show-up okay in the SERPS. I don't think the Google toolbar shows the correct pagerank for many of these pages though, as the entire directory shows the same pagerank. However, in the Google Directory, the pagerank is different than what the toolbar shows. The most frustrating part is that, despite getting almost all external links to change to my new site structure, the old pages often rank better in the Google SERPs.
On a side note, there was a several day period about 2 months ago where Google was spidering many more of my dynamic pages with up to 5 variables. None of those pages ever got indexed though.
I'll mirror what jatar_k has stated about clean urls vs. dirty urls. Eliminate all variables, all of them. Clean and shorten the url strings as much as you can. If you use "/" to separate parts of the string, make sure to bring the most important part of the string forward, as close to the tld as possible.
You can get rather creative with your url rewriting and the url paths become very user friendly and much easier to bookmark and share. ;)
The original poster did not ask as to how a dynamic URL perform in regards to Google ranking.
By all means, I agree that static URL perform better than dynamic URL. However, there's always an exception to the rule. I can pull a few competitive key phrase with a dynamic URL at page1.
If the site is new then of course you have to use whatever means to convert your dynamic URL to seemingly static URL. Let's not forget that the main reason why Google is not really crazy about dynamic URLs, aside from session ID and spider trap, is because their crawler could cause a heavy load on the target server. Relevancy and ranking still applies.
Since this thread have move in the direction of the value of having a dynamic URL then let me ask this...
Suppose for whatever reason it's not practical to convert the dynamic URL to a static URL, is it then that this site is practically useless?
To humor the argument that dynamic URL does not rank well, what is then the impact of dynamic URLs to the overall site internal link structure?
Otherwise, if we to have to believe that dynamic URLs are totally useless then we wouldn't be using them, right?
one site lost every thing after id=1 (prod.asp?id=1&code=9999)
when you lose 100's pages you have a quick peep at you sites which use a rewrite mod and they are still standing.
g is littered with my pages that say :
www.mysite.co.uk/product.asp?id=1&code=9995 Similar pages
www.mysite.co.uk/product.asp?id=1&code=9722 Similar pages
We all know that most SEs have one problem or another with dynamic URLs. Google and AlltheWeb seem to have a handle on indexing dynaminc URLs that contain no more than 2 variables. I'm not 100% sure how the other majors handle them and don't really care as they don't justify the time and research to fully test the effects of dirty vs. clean URLs.
Think about your visitors. Dirty URLs are very difficult to remember. They give no indication to the visitor what the resource is other than a bunch of numbers, characters and variables that make no sense to them. There are other factors involved such as security, abstraction and maintainability.
What happens when you need to change the underlying technology on a site that has over 30,000 pages indexed? With dirty URLs, you'll have a very large task ahead of you. With clean URLs, the switch is transparent.
I strongly advise anyone thinking of building a dynamic site that they start with clean URLs from the very start. You need to spend as much time planning those URL strings as you do the structure of the site. In fact, it is mandatory as you don't ever want those strings to change. The W3C has a neat little tip when validating your site that refers to cool URIs don't change. In that tip, they discuss why your URL strings should not change for 5, 10 even 30 years.
I'm not too certain on where URL rewriting won't work. From the research and testing I've done, there has not been an instance where URL rewriting would have caused any issues other than the learning curve required to implement the feature.
You make the choice. Would you rather have...
Think about the long term effects of having dynamic URLs as opposed to clean static URLs. A new buzzword I've picked up lately is content negotiation. It's been around for a long time, but we've never really discussed it in detail. I think we'll see much more interest centered around the topic of dirty URLs vs. clean URLs.

I think that dynamic urls developped from an innate laziness for programmers and weakness of scripting languages as they were maturing.
I can slap together a site with query strings in no time but it takes work and has to considered through out the design process to keep them out of the url and make a site dynamically static. I also know that most programmers don't know or care about search engines present company excluded of course.
Thats why all of these "great" programmers build these "great" products for use online that are completely unspiderable. Design Firms in their "great" wisdom build sites that effectively remove all of the traffic the client used to have.
Query strings are easy and passing params is common place but it is the method in which it is done that should be assessed and considered.
Best Practice? no query strings, period.
sorry, its a topic that makes me a little upset, no offence intended, I am a programmer so mostly I insulted myself ;)
don't you start pinching my job ;)
jatar_k, a discussion with a design company that builds cookie cutter sites is what prompted my post in the first place.
Sell a new design destroy all rankings and traffic sell them seo repeat as necessary
I was the seo and they resold it for 3 times what I charged bad, bad, bad. I only did was I was told because I had a boss but it was ugly either way.
<OT>sorry Dave, I meant REAL programmers ;)</OT>
Still though, like everyone said, you're best off using search engine friendly URLs. Both because they are SE friendly and people friendly. They also provide other ancillary benefits like hiding what server side technology you are using -- which would allow you to easily change technologies in the future without having to change URLs. So if you converted from PHP to JSP or something you could keep your same URL structure and thus maintain your link popularity.
For solutions just search on Google for "search engine friendly urls" and you'll find a bunch of articles. There are a variety of ways to accomplish it, mod_rewrite, using error pages, other apache hacks.
Can we link to articles at evolt from here? There is a recent one covering this topic....
Using php's urlencode() those links look like this:
Is that kind of encoding ok for Google or would it be better to use underscores instead of +.
And what about special chars in the url like %28 for a "("? Does this affect my ranking. Would it be better to filter out all ( and : and to generate some really plain url?
Thanks for any idea
in a: www.mydomain.com/default.asp?pageid=1 kind of way
but recently i made a site using a java servlet and google just won't take the pages:
any ideas why google likes asp but not java?
How do you mean google hates java?
it's not just my pages with id that aren't crawled also some with query=
on id [webmasterworld.com...]
do you think google is more likely to crawl the pages then?
+ u didnt say why google hates java
btw, thanks for this
I mean, people just keep asking how to use query strings best. It's like asking how to stab yourself with the least pain, the simple anser: don't.
the only place a query is admissible is in a form submit. And even there the W3C has quite strict recommendations when to use GET and when to use POST. POST is for when your submission changes server state (like modifying statefull databases) and GET is when it doesn't change server state. Furthermore, query string should only be for a page whose contents is previously undefined. So a query string should return a list of items, like search results, which don'T make any other sense together.
If on the other hand you have an advanced searhc the lets you, say, choose a category, and that category exists as a list of widgets in that category you should link to:
While on the other hand if somebody types red widgets in your searchbox, the form should bring up:
The sooner webmasters/designers/SEOs/programmers learn what the tools mean, and what they were designed for, the better for all of us.

The Vermont Movie Project trailer
Goddard Videos
Goddard College is featured in Part Four of Freedom & Unity: The Vermont Movie, a six-part collaborative documentary produced by several dozen Vermont filmmakers. This documentary explores the history and contemporary culture of the Green Mountain State using cinema verite, personal stories, rare footage, compelling interviews and original re-enactments.
Part Four, "Doers and Shapers," explores democracy at work—differing voices, different points of view—and the people and institutions that push boundaries. Beginning with education and the philosophy of John Dewey, the hands-on style of Goddard College, the Putney School, and the inseparable connection between education and democracy, and moving onto other progressive movements such as Vermont's famous Billboard law and Act 250, cultural movements such as Bread and Puppet Theater, and finally Vermont's groundbreaking civil union law.
The documentary features interviews with Goddard alumni, former staff and faculty, and includes archival photographs, video, and audio recordings. Alumni in the Vermont Movie are Clo Pitkin (BA RUP '53) Mason Singer (BA RUP '70), Avram Patt (BA RUP '72), Fred Wilber (BA RUP '73), Paij Wadley-Bailey (GEPFE '79), Dan Chodorkoff (BA RUP '71), Ginny Callan (BA RUP '74), and Dustin Byerly (BA RUP '01). Former faculty members are Mark Greenberg, Clo Pitkin, Mark Greenberg, Barry & Lorrie Goldensohn, and Former President Mark Schulman.
The Vermont Movie will be screened at over 66 locations in a Barnstorming Tour of the State beginning September 27, 2013. Goddard College will be screening a 23-minute excerpt of Part Four at the 150th Anniversary Homecoming Weekend, Oct. 18, 2013.

In this example I will teach you how to use the Java Reflection API for invoking the a method of a class in runtime. With the help of this example you will learn the use of Reflection API in Java.
The Reflection API of Java allows the developers to write code which can be used to invoke the methods of another class in runtime. For this you have to create the instance of the another class in runtime using Reflection API and then use the invoke method of the reflection API.
You should be aware of the performance of the Reflection API as it is more expensive and there is performance overhead. So, you should use the reflection API in certain conditions where you have to create the dynamic classes and call the methods in runtime. In normal programming you should not use the reflection framework to create the classes dynamically.
In this example we will show you how to use the "concat" method of the String class.
Here is the definition of the concat method of the String class:
String concat(String str)
The concat method of the String class takes string as a input parameter and concatenates the specified string to the end of this string.
We will show you how to call the concat method of the String class dynamically.
Following is the steps to call the concat method of String class using Reflection framework:
Step 1: First of all we have to create a Class object for the class whose method is to be invoked. Here we have used the code: Class cls = String.class;. There are many ways to get the objects of a class.
Step 2: Now create a Method object by invoking getMethod on the Class object. Following code is used in our example:
Method concatMethod =
cls.getMethod("concat", parametertype);
Step 3: Now we have to call the invoke method to call the method. We have used the following code in our example program:
result = (String)
Here is the complete code of the program that calls the "concat" method on the String class:
import java.lang.reflect.*; public class CallingMethod { public static void main(String[] args) { String firstName= new String("Deepak"); String lastName=new String("Kumar"); String result = new String(""); Class cls = String.class; Class[] parametertype = new Class[] {String.class}; Object[] arguments = new Object[] {lastName}; try { Method concatMethod = cls.getMethod("concat", parametertype); result = (String) concatMethod.invoke(firstName,arguments); System.out.println(" Concatenated String is => "+result); }catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e); } } }
If you run the program it will display the following output:
In this above example code you have learned how to call the "concat" method dynamically using the Reflection framework of Java.
Now we will learn how to call the "append" method of StringBuffer class using the Java Reflection API. Here is the signature of the append method of the StringBuffer class:
public StringBuffer append(String s)
The append method is used to append the specified string to the character sequence.
Here is the example code:
import java.lang.reflect.Method; public class ReflectionExample { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { StringBuffer stringBuffer = new StringBuffer(); stringBuffer.append("Java Reflection Framework Example - RoseIndia.Net"); System.out.println("Unmodifed String: " + stringBuffer); // Get the "append" method using the Java reflection API Method method = stringBuffer.getClass().getMethod("append", String.class); // Invoke the append method method.invoke(stringBuffer, " Hello This is an example of invoking method on the StringBuffer class."); System.out.println("String After appending: " + stringBuffer); } }
In the above example code we have used the following method:
Method method = stringBuffer.getClass().getMethod("append", String.class);
to get the "append" method and using following code we are calling it using following code:
" Hello This is an example of invoking method on the StringBuffer class.");
You can download the source code through following link:
Download the code of append method on StringBuffer class
If you run the code it will give you following output:
D:\>javac ReflectionExample.java
D:\>java ReflectionExample
Unmodifed String: Java Reflection Framework Example - RoseIndia.Net
String After appending: Java Reflection Framework Example - RoseIndia.Net Hello
This is an example of invoking method on the StringBuffer class.

Magazin, Salzburg
13 Augustinergasse
Tel: 43 66284 15840
Tel: 43 66284 15840
Concierge.com's insider take:
Magazin opened in 2003 and shook everything up in this essentially conservative town. A complex of renovated burgher houses joined by a modern glass gallery, the pioneering miniature culinary empire features a well-stocked food shop (including 600 Austrian wines), a cooking school, and a determinedly stylish restaurant. Dinner is served at a long, 28-seat communal table, in a cavelike bunker; the menu makes up for the rest of Salzburg's caution with exuberant dishes such as rump of lamb paired with octopus and curd-semolina dumplings, grilled scallops on orange crème, and a spicy hot chocolate with chile.
Open Tuesdays through Saturdays 10 am to midnight, September through June; open daily 10 am to midnight, July and August.
