First Assembly of God missions represents a growing family of more than 100 family units and 20 compassion agencies. They are taking the gospel to cities, urban areas and remote villages, telling a lost world that Christ loves them and came to redeem them from their sins. Together they work with national pastors in seven geographical regions — Africa, Asia Pacific, Eurasia, Europe, North America, Latin America and the Caribbean and Northern Asia.
The doors of opportunity to preach the gospel of Christ are unprecedented as missionaries and national believers minister to those who have never heard. Want to know how you can help?
If you are interested in serving on the Missions Committee or would like to submit a request to the Missions Committee please contact Marilyn Tolbert.

The Kirby Morgan 525-317 Helmet Spares Kit for Kirby Morgan Dive Helmet 17A/B contains commonly replaced parts for the SuperLite 17A/B.
The outer shell or bag, P/N 510-522, of the SL 17A/B Head Cushion, P/N 510-521, is now made of a durable, nylon based material (black), plus, a webbing strap has been added to strengthen the snap mountings. The material is laser cut to prevent the edges from fraying or unraveling. Velcro tabs have also been applied to the exterior for attachment of the Head Cushion Foam Spacer (HCFS, p/n 525-745).
The Head Cushion Foam Spacer (sold as 525-745 HCFS Kit) is also now shipping in the SuperLite® 17B Helmets as an integral part of the cushioning system.
O-rings should be lightly lubricated with food grade silicone Dow Corning 111 or equivalent in accordance with the operations and maintenance manual. Christo-Lube may also be used. At a minimum, all helmet or BandMask o-rings should be replaced at least once a year in accordance with the A2.1 for the helmet or mask being inspected.
During daily and monthly maintenance, disturbed o-rings and valves may be reused providing no damage or deformation is found. O-rings and valves may require replacement more often than yearly if the helmet or mask use is extreme, or if the helmet or mask is used in waters containing oil or chemical contamination. Daily cleaning and inspections as well as performing the monthly inspection A2.2 will identify the need more accurately than simply placing a number of hours between overhaul.
Store spare o-rings, valves and soft goods in a cool, dark, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures above 90 degrees Fahrenheit and/or exposure to ultra violet rays. Do not lubricate exhaust valves. Lubricating valves can cause dirt to stick, allowing leakage.
For detailed directions on installing this kit, please refer to our Attachments tab where there is an instruction pdf available for download.

Posted by Shirley Brady on August 12, 2011 01:30 PM
Kim Kardashian is suing an up-and-coming lookalike for copying her personal style. Now Kardashian and her sisters Khloe and Kourtney are found to be kopying themselves.
The Kardashian Klan this week released an online-only pre-sale (with 30% markdown) on their new Kardashian Kollection of clothes, accessories and handbags for Sears (which hits stores on August 25th) — and were swiftly slapped with a cease-and-desist counterfeit claim against one of the designs.
Take a look below to kompare, and hear from the designer now at odds with the Kardashians.
Exhibit A: the Kardashian Kollection for Sears bag:
Exhibit B: Botkier's Trigger Clyde bag, released in Fall 2009:
New York-based designer Monica Botkier's attorneys filed a cease-and-desist letter this week to get the Kardashian klone pulled, and Botkier has been flagging the knock-off on her brand's Facebook and Twitter pages, in addition to writing a stunned blog post titled "K is for Knock-Off."
She also tweeted the Kardashians and Sears directly to flag the issue (but received no public response):
Avid tweeter Kim last mentioned the Sears debut in a tweet the day before Botkier's legal action:
In an interview with Good Morning America, Kim had commented before the Sears collection debuted, "This was our ultimate dream ever ... (to) create our own clothing line, go into bedding and home, denim, lingerie, ready-to-wear, everything... from shoes to accessories, handbags... Fashion is our life."
Today, Botkier, a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America who (ironically) participated in the CFDA's "You Can't Fake Fashion" anti-counterfeit campaign this summer, commented to brandchannel:
"Most likely the Kardashians have no idea but should definitely pay closer attention to the products they put their name on. The licensee probably does know and the design department within. Shame on them, it's a small industry. That's why the CFDA, which I am a member of, is fighting so hard to protect original design and fight piracy. Brands and companies are built on that, piracy is extremely devastating."

NZ Telecom director Rod McGeoch retires
PUBLISHED: 10 Aug 2010 10:49:31 | UPDATED: 10 Aug 2010 10:49:31PRINT EDITION: 10 Aug 2010
New Zealand Telecom director Rod McGeoch is to retire from the role at the end of September, after more than nine years on the board, the company says.
Mr McGeoch signalled at Telecom's annual meeting in 2008 that he would not stand for re-election to the board again.
Telecom chairman Wayne Boyd said on Tuesday that Mr McGeoch had been a board member at a time of profound change for the company and industry, including the move to operational separation.
Since his appointment in April 2001, Mr McGeoch had contributed invaluable trans-Tasman, legal and other perspectives to the board, Mr Boyd said.
An earlier change this year to the board was the appointment of Sue Sheldon as a director.
Meanwhile, the industry was facing large-scale change, as the ultra fast broadband project advanced, Mr Boyd said.
"Telecom now looks forward to the making of key decisions in this area by Government, to help us ensure the mix of skills and experience on our board remains appropriate for the new era of telecommunications."

Queer Arts Resource is proud to announce the launch of its Winter '99 Siteworks, featuring:
David Wojnarowicz: Authentic History
In conjunction with the retrospective at the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, QAR presents an online exhibition of vanguard American artist David Wojnarowicz. New Museum Senior Curator Dan Cameron notes: "Wojnarowicz, who lived on the streets of New York from the age of thirteen, drew from his experiences on the margins of society to create a passionate world of hustlers and homeless, club kids and rednecks, providing a voice for people who have been marginalized by mainstream culture."
Deborah Bright: The Passionate Camera
Editor Deborah Bright curated this exhibition based on her exciting new book in which fifty artists, scholars and critics document and celebrate photography by and about sex-radical artists. The online exhibition features work by Ajamu, Tammy Rae Carland, Darren P. Clark, Ken Gonzales Day, Sunil Gupta, Rita Hammond, Lyle Ashton Harris with Thomas Allen Harris, Andrew Kim, and Chuck Samuels.
Kimberly Austin: Learning Normalcy
At age 14, Kimberly Austin was diagnosed with bone cancer, and her left leg was amputated. Bald from chemotherapy and weighing only 65 pounds, she "felt sexless and different. Strangers could not decide if I was a boy or a girl." Thus began, according to writer Roberta Lord, Austin's investigation into the icons and issues of sexual identity.

I purchased this set for an upcoming flight because I needed additional luggage. I loaded my belongings up and after my two hour flight, MY HANDLE WAS DANGLING FROM THE LUGGAGE LIKE A LOOSE TOOTH!! I couldn't even use the handle to move my luggage off the carousel! And none of my luggage would stay standing AT ALL! I suspect it had something to do with the luggage being expandable... but if it's expandable, maybe that should be taken into account when making the luggage!! That was SOO frustrating, if i wanted to stop for just a second my luggage would just topple over! However, the worst part about the set is the ruined handle... it was on the largest one, and now I can't even use it anymore AFTER ONE TRIP!!! What a waste. The fact that the retractable handle on the other one hardly ever worked barely bothered me compared to them all falling over and the big one breaking on MY FIRST TRIP WITH IT.
After using the set two times, and collecting our luggage at the airport, the top handles on the large bags came off on one side. The screw that holds it in place from the inside of the bag appears to have just pulled out when the baggage handlers picked up the luggage. Dissappointed at this. OK for travel in a car, but definiately doesn't hold up to the airlines abuse.
Bought this for occasional family trips. The sizes of the suitcases work well for a family of 4. Arrived promptly and with no damage.
Great item for the price. This included a lot a pieces for the price. The cheapest I found a set with this many pieces at such a low price.
This was a graduation present. My nephew loved the set, said it worked just fine for him.
I have not used them for what I gotten them for yet that will be in May, but I have let my 4 and 5 year old play with the smaller ones and so far so good. We have looked at luggage in the stores (TJMAX, Sears ect) and the cost for one large suitcase was 10 or more $$$'s higher then this whole set, and was the same quality. With having kids I look for great deals and this one is worth it.
I recently used this luggage on a New Year's Eve trip, and I was very please with the quality and durability of the luggage. Excellent buy.

Now, however, they have adopted a regulation that they all must wear sharply tailored, designer suits. Dubbed the Rosewood Movement, the cleaned-up look is part of West's effort to turn over a new leaf after last year's flameout, including his infamous outburst at the Video Music Awards against winner Taylor Swift. In recent interviews, he stresses good manners and not swearing. For the past week, his entourage has worn a uniform of Dior Homme black suits, and is said to be wearing Dior for West's upcoming tour.

Block clustering of contingency table and Mixture Model AbstractBlock clustering or simultaneous clustering has become an important challenge in data mining context. It has practical importance in a wide of variety of applications such as text, web-log and market basket data analysis. Typically, the data that arises in these applications is arranged as a two-way contingency or co-occurrence table. In this paper, we embed the block clustering problem in the mixture approach. We propose a Poisson block mixture model and adopting the classification maximum likelihood principle we perform a new algorithm. Simplicity, fast convergence and scalability are the major advantages of the proposed approach.

The question ran through my mind as I looked at Dylan, a lanky, disruptive second grader in the Brooklyn "school in need of improvement" where I taught. One day, the answer came in the middle of class. Dylan volunteered, "My dad's in jail because he tried to kill my mom." Suddenly, Dylan's behavior made sense. In the span of a few minutes, my exasperation turned into compassion. Getting to know Dylan, his classmates, and their families deepened my longing for the fulfillment of Isaiah 58:12: rebuilding ruins, raising up foundations, and restoring streets to dwell in.

ILMARI Koppinen, 95, and 94-year-old Emiel Pauwels battle it out in the 65 metres at the Veteran Games in San Sebastien, Spain
What a race! The way they were moving you'd think it was 3:59 pm and they were trying to catch the early bird. Can't believe how badly the fat one choked too. Dude had a commanding lead and let it slip right out of his arthritic fingers. And I'm really only half making fun of them. Because for a couple bros in their 90′s they were fucking flying.
PS – It can't get more cocky than the skinny guy raising his arms 2 feet in front of the line. Old person swag for days.

Well, I've been gone for quite a bit. Things have definitely changed in my life. Some for the better, some for the worse. I'm still clean, I haven't touched any sort of drug ( I did get drunk one Friday, but I haven't since) and I'm still smoking cigarettes.
The winter here in Texas has been relatively mild, and there's been a lack of constant overcast, which has spared me from my usual winter depression. That is up until now however.
I feel it all over. I feel a huge weight on my chest all day long, and all I want to do is scream and kick and shout the cruelest of insults at the people in my life. Every day is shit. Everyone is shit. My life is shit. For now at least.
If there's anything I've relapsed into is being a little whore. Sadly, I'm back to filling the void by blowing guys in their cars. Oops. Wish I could care, but as of right now it still gives me that temporary stimulation I need. It's stupid I know, but what am I to do?
I wish I didn't have to be like this; caught in a hellish juxtaposition of numbness and constant panic. I wish that for just a moment there would be pure, unadulterated peace in my life. I'm not even in my whole self-loathing phase anymore. I'm just over all of this. I swear when I get like this I just wanna bash my face in. It's just annoying as all fuck.
Hopefully this whole depressive phase will end soon enough. I'm so lonely right now and wish someone would hold me and make me feel just O.K. I don't see that happening anytime soon, but I long so much for it.
I feel helpless. I feel really scared too. Something's different this time. This depression isn't what it normally is. It's trying to get me.
by the walking papers. kinda describes that feeling of the weight of the world and mistakes on your shoulders. it will end soon, you will get through it.
I know the feeling. I have suffered from manic depression and severe episodes of it since I was a young, young kid.
If you ever need to talk, shoot me an IM. You'll get through it...
Mental wounds not healing, driving me insane, i'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train- the ozzman
Don't allow 'it' to catch you. I know it's easier said than done, but I have faith in you to succeed, no pun intended, to let these self-defeating thoughts go. It's a function of the abuse you have suffered. I can only wish there was a way I or anyone else could 'make' you feel better. That has to come from within you, my friend.
I know that it has to come from me, and through all of my past depressions it has. But I still long for someone that I can at least confide all of my true feelings to. I have really great friends who I know I can talk to, but they're all just very busy with their own lives. I know I'll work past it, like all the others before. Its just terrible because it's just started.
It breaks my heart that you feel this way, you know? because I understand the loneliness and fear that this depression could get worse. right now, I'm trying to keep myself occupied as much as possible and trying to stay in a neutral mind set, since being positive doesn't come easy for me, I think thinking "whatever happens" is the best I can do. I even understand the part about being mean to everyone 'cause it feels like I'm always trying to make others happy and at the end of the day I'm still alone because what I did still wasn't good enough. It doesn't make you a bad person but you deserve someone who will make you feel good without asking for anything in return :)
two words I know too well, you know? :/ I totally love that you got what I meant by the being mean to people. That's exactly what I do! I just people please and then expect far too much in return. I don't demand it, but I kind of expect them to understand :p

The Cool-2 (cloned-out of library-2) protein (identical to alpha-Pix for Pak-interactive exchange factor) has been implicated in various biological responses including chemoattractant signaling and in certain forms of mental retardation. We show that when Cool-2 exists as a dimer, it functions as a Rac-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF). Dimerization of Cool-2 enables its Dbl (diffuse B-cell lymphoma) and pleckstrin homology domains to work together (in trans) to bind specifically to Rac-GDP. Dissociation of dimeric Cool-2 into its monomeric form allows it to act as a GEF for Cdc42 as well as for Rac. The binding of either PAK (p21-activated kinase) or Cbl (Casitas B-lymphoma) to the SH3 domain of monomeric Cool-2 is necessary for the functional interactions between GDP-bound Cdc42 or Rac and the Cool-2 monomer. The betagamma subunit complex of large GTP-binding proteins, by interacting with PAK, stimulates the dissociation of the Cool-2 dimer and activates its GEF activity for Cdc42. Overall, these findings highlight novel mechanisms by which extracellular signals can direct the specific activation of Rac versus Cdc42 by Cool-2/alpha-Pix.

Poll: Best iOS Music Apps
- |
- 3:56 pm |
- Permalink
Traditional MP3 players have pretty much the same buttons that portable cassette players had back in the '80s — play/pause, fast-forward, rewind and volume. But when you put music on a smartphone that has more processing power than desktop computers had back then — with a touch screen to boot — the possibilities for interacting with, listening to, creating, and manipulating music simply explode.
And the way those possibilities explode is through music apps running on smartphones, tablets, and similar devices, such as the iPod Touch. In an attempt to determine the best music apps in the world, Billboard Magazine asked the developers of music apps for Apple's iOS devices (iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, but not the new Nano) to submit their apps for judging, and then established a list of finalists.
I'm one of the judges in the competition — as is MC Hammer, of all people. (Weirder still, this is not the first time our paths have crossed.) Cutting to the chase, I figured I would crowdsource my judging, to an extent, by asking Wired.com readers to weigh in on the music apps they like the most, out of Billboard's nominees. If your favorite app isn't listed below, feel free to enter it in the comments section, although at this point, it's too late for more nominations.
Winners will be announced on October 5. I'm not going to base my recommendations purely on votes below, but will take them into account.
The envelope please! Here are Billboard's nominees for the best iOS music apps in alphabetical order by developer, along with videos demonstrating how they work, with voting enabled at the bottom of each of the six categories:
1) Engagement
Fried Green Apps' Mix Me In2 Taylor Swift (remix, sing along with, and toggle the genre of Taylor Swift songs)
SoundHound's SoundHound Infinity (identifies songs by recording analyzing short samples)
Tapulous's Tap Tap Revenge 3 (like Guitar Hero for iOS)

Needham,Mar.17, 2011
The hotel is in a great location to explore Beijing on limited time. Close to The Silk market, Tinnamen square, forbidden city and other shopping locations. The breakfast buffet had a lot of variety. Our room on the 19th floor was comfortable and of decent size. Overall the hotel would suit most western travellers.
Gallup,Feb.20, 2011
My partner and I lived in this hotel when we were traveling Beijing. Our room on the 16th floor had a good view down towards Beijing Railway Station. The location is very convenient. The airport shuttle bus arrives to the left of the building. Room is spacious however needs to be refurbished and brightened.
Roosevelt,Dec.08, 2010
The hotel was right in the middle of the city centre and looked over one of the most beautiful squares with long queues of cars at every point of time. Rooms were comfortable, breakfast was China basic.

- adsense still runs on the front page (before on every page) - the "content" pages now run redirects to other sites - mostly gambling. - the content is still just a huge pile of computer generated/stolen crap.
I'm very surprised that the front page still has ad's, no response from google to my complaint. I had also hoped that some kind of minimum quality of the site as a whole, would be required from google in order to be part of the adsense program - *sigh* - this doesn't appear to be the case.
I think one fundemental problem with adsense is the use of publisher id's rather than accepting and reviewing domains individually, OK so they avoid the problem of millions of domains to review - but the quality of sites that run adsense now is sometimes so low it's truely unbelievable.
Additionally - this type of site does impact revenue for the better quality sites in the program. The budgets of advertisers are used up on the sewer sites, leading to less money available for the quality sites. How can this be a good thing?
We all have different opinions as to what constitutes quality, some advertisers claim that it doesn't matter in any way except cost per conversion. But adsense on sewer sites will damage the programs longterm reputation - quality sites will move away from adsense to either the competition or to other forms of advertising. Adsense and it's format will become ubiquitous with low quality dross - this will mean lowered returns for those in the program - and so on. Hopefully the long term success of the adsnse program is important to google and they will start to operate more rigorous quality control on the sites in the program now.
[edited by: Jenstar at 5:17 pm (utc) on June 15, 2004] [edit reason] corrected keyword [/edit]
I agree and I've said the same here from time to time.
<speculation> It's possible that the publisher is no longer receiving income from clicks and that advertisers are not being charged for clicks using that publisher's sites (based on past posts to this forum). If that's the case it's possible the ads are there due to publisher oversight or because the publisher thinks users will consider the inclusion of Google Ads as an endorsement of the quality of the site. </speculation>
Does anyone have opinions/experiences with this statement?
It is sometimes better, because they are less likely to go back to where they just came from. A really good content site draws my paid clickers back to them instead of into my site where they can buy stuff from me, so it is a potential negative.
I would say that the ones harmed by these sites are those who have good content sites, not the advertisers. Google's image may be harmed as well, but I'm not sure it really hurts Google much either.
That probably doesn't matter to Google. A bigger issue, from Google's point of view, may be whether the presence of "Ads by Google" on such sites will make content ads less acceptable to advertisers--many of whom are already skeptical of content ads, and some of whom (corporate advertisers ad ad agencies) wouldn't dream of having their ads run just anywhere in the "real world."
Have not heard back anything, adsense is still up and running on the site with targeted ads.
I am starting to think that these sites, no matter how scummy they are, give a lot of business to google, and google has a vested interest in allowing them to go on.
And advertisers are what drives Adsense -- without the advertisers than Adsense is worthless to us and Google. If these so called "sewer" sites are sending targeted traffic to the advertisers than what good would it do google to stop them?
The only people who seem to be upset with these sites are the other adsense publishers who are competing with them.
Like most sweeping generalities, that statement is true in some cases and not in others. (The guy who's selling Viagra from an affiliate site is likely to have a different attitude from the media buyer at a top 100 advertising agency.)
Your statement is also based on a false assumption: that mainstream advertisers and media buyers will ever find out whether those "ads stapled to a dead fish" convert visitors into customers. In reality, such advertisers and media buyers aren't likely to experiment with dead fish--or with other media that have an unpleasant smell.
maybe what gets some people is some nice hideous times new roman, some graphics created in powerpoint etc. etc.
and if its getting genuine clicks and conversions and working for google's advertisers, unless they're doing something illegal or contrary to the terms, i don't see why google would opt to kick them
beauty is in the eyes of the beholder .. my wife has looked at some of the most hideous sites and thought they're impressive. she's the 'typical' surfer or end-user and i actually watch what she does and how she goes about it because i can learn from her and get into the 'mind' of a person who doesn't know how html, doesn't know how to use photoshop etc.
It's very interesting to me that there are several threads filled with complaints about these so called "sewer" sites going on in the adsense forum, but there are no threads in the AdWords forum where the advertisers are complaining about them. That should tell you alot about who is really being affected here.
If AdSense accepts these sites especially the second one, it may have some data to indicate that these sites give some positive results. If not, why Google has to associate with? Who know these sites are the sites that produce the highest CTR and conversion rate.
Is this what the AdSense advertisers want?
If this is permitted by Adsense, I would be more than happy to generate a few million pages of auto-generated keyword optimized informational directory pages.
I hope that Adsense adds this information to the tos soon, so it can be known either way whether it's acceptable or not.
Why should they complain? They can just opt out of content ads (as many have done, to judge from past threads on that forum).
As for Google, it's too early to know if it sees a problem or how it chooses to deal with the issue of "sitescrapers" and "content spam." But off the cuff, I'd guess that Google is giving careful thought to the issue, if only because the company must have learned a few lessons from playing whack-a-mole with affiliate and e-commerce spam.
Exactly! - I'm almost thinking the same - no maintainance, no users, no real updates - I could even take scraped sites content and mix it around so much that the copyright holders could never find it...
3 days work, a throw away domain, I could even make it "look" high quality. All I need to do is buy a link from a PR7 domain...
This can't be what google intended to encourage regardless of how well the resulting clicks convert.
There've been several threads in Adwords forum, about advertisers opting out of Adsense CONTENT, simply because of these sites.
It's not just the content and aesthetics issues for such "sewer" sites, in all cases I've come across, these "sewer sites" do Adsense ads positioning in a way that is deceiving the visitor.
The ads are displayed in the centre of the page, as if they were the main content (I usually focus on the main "frame") surrounded by navigation links, or intermingled with nav links.
Read more:
You can't excpect someone who rips off other people's content to play fair and show the ads in a way that it's clear they're ads.
I agitated for more control over where my ad was shown when AdSense first came out.
Since I didn't receive control, I asserted it wherever I could. I shut down unproductive adsense ads. I also split AdWords campaigns into Search, and into AdSense campaigns. The AdSense campaigns are dialed down to five cents per click.
Max ROI
So if a site is actually no use to visitors, one would hope they wouldn't click and that the assessment of the site for smart pricing leaves it well down the list for revenue per click.
Plus, as time passes, people using the net will get used to what is a useless site and what is valuable, so perhaps the sites that steal or replicate content will just ultimately grind to a halt and get a motley collection of random surfers clicking for a pittance per click.
(...in an ideal world of course...)
I don't think DMCA is even an issue here. I would only take small snippets from many sites for the keyword value, not any kind of informational value.
I recently saw a page where they took the page and ran some statistics in order to display the 'most frequently' used keywords, in addition to a couple of snippets from that page.
There is almost no informational value there. I reported this to Adsense and they forwarded it on, but no action has been taken. This site has millions of such pages. If this is OK with Adsense, then I might as well get in on the action as well. We can all clutter up the web some more with these worthless pages.
I think these wouldn't do so well in the SERPs hence including some padding text - other peoples content shuffled about...
My hunch is that these sites actually convert well - probably better than an average true site. This is what is really concerning me - if it is the case and google and advertisers are happy to have this type of site in the program - then we'll all forget producing our own content, highly optimised, highly dubious, random content sites are the profitable way forward.
The problem is this:
1) Searcher searches for "blue widgets". 2) Sewer site with "blue widgets" scraped content ranks highly in the SERPS - any SE. 3) User goes to sewer site - junk surounding "blue widget" adsense links. 4) User clicks adsense as there is no real other content. 5) User buys "blue widget" from "blue widget" advertiser - CTR and Conversion Rate increase thus the sewer site makes good revenue - EPC goes up. 6) The average CR is increased across that particular part of the ad/network - legitimate sites with normal conversion rates get their EPC reduced, also the budget for the "blue widget" keyword is reduced.
So the advertiser is happy. The sewer site is happy. Possibly the purchaser is happy. Is google happy? well they get a share.
The only ones to lose are legitimate sites with real content/services using the adsense program, who would have got a higher EPC due to the lower conversion rate and greater budget across the network on clicks within their site.
2 solutions: Drop sewer sites from the SERPs or Drop sewer sites from the progam - both in todays internet are in google's hands.
Maybe, maybe not. I think it depends on:
1) The product and its target audience;
2) What kind of "true site" (or "true page") you're talking about;
3) How the user reached the page (e.g., through search or through casual browsing).
If a user got to the sitescraper directory page while searching for "Widgetco WX-1" with the intention of buying, the sitescraper's ad may convert well. If, on the other hand, the user is interested in a $10,000 Platinum Cruise of the Adriatic and is looking for reviews and other information, the ad click may go to waste if (as is likely) the ad is for a travel agency rather than for Platinum Cruises.
I'd assume that "smart pricing" is designed to account for such differences, but it probably doesn't work very well unless conversion data is available for the specific advertiser and the site/page where the ad is appearing. Presumably it will get better over time.
Google isn't a company that's known for hiring stupid people, and it's unlikely that it would get sucked into that kind of short-term thinking. Over the long haul, Google's core product--the search engine--is useful only if users can find the information they're looking for. If Google allows its search engine to be taken over by sitescrapers and other "content spammers," users will migrate to better search engines--and AdSense ads on those "highly optimised, highly dubious, random content sites" will no longer be profitable for Google simply because users won't find them.
I'm sure it's technically doable, but is it realistic?
It'd be great to give advertisers the ability to block URLs.
I mean, Adsense PUBLISHERS have a big trouble trying to block certain mis-targeted URLs on a handful of pages on their OWN SITE which they know inside-out and monitor all the time.
The Adsense content network comprises of many millions of pages, e.g. just a couple of days ago I read "asinah" saying he uploaded "90.000 pages of fresh content".
Only an algo can take care of this problem. And the situation is 100% in Google's hands.
A sale is a sale.
Imagine two stores. They both Widgets. One is a nice store with friendly clerks. The other is a terribly run down store with rude clerks. Do you think Widgets, Inc. cares at which store the widget was sold?
Even "legitimate" sites do that.
-Quality -Reputation -Longevity of business plan -Values
is short-sighted to say the least.
How it affect an advertiser negatively if one of their ads appears on a "sewer site"?
The question should be how does it affect Adsense and its publishing partners?
One can take several strategies to building a business. The most successful companies are those that can differentiate themselves from the other ones.
Some of those advertisers will be gone in a few months, you want to build a business that will last enough to be the cornerstone of your company.

My List LyricsArtist: Toby KeithAlbum: Pull My Chain Go to the bank and the hardware store, put a new lock on the cellar door I cross 'em off as I get 'em done but when the sun is set, there's still a few things I haven't got to yet (Chorus): Go for a walk, say a little prayer, take a deep breath of mountain air, put on my glove and play some catch, It's time that I make time for that, wade the shore and cast a line, pick up a long lost friend of mine, sit on the porch and give my girls a kiss, start livin', that's the next thing on my list Wouldn't change the course of fate, but cuttin the grass just had to wait, 'cause I've got more important things like pushin my kid on the backyard swing, I won't break my back for a million bucks I can't take to my grave, why put off for tomorrow what I could get done today (Chorus) Raise a little hell, laugh til it hurts, put an extra five in the plate at church, call up my folks just to chat, It's time that I make time for that, Stay up late, then oversleep, show her what she means to me, catch up on all the things I've always missed, just start livin', that's the next thing on my list Under an old brass paperweight, is my list of things to do today

'Barn Owl Heaven' – a wild-life haven managed for Barn Owls on the edge of beautiful Dartmoor
A haven for wildlife, with open grassland and woodland alongside the River Ashburn, has been created by the Barn Owl Trust, transforming 26 acres of intensively grazed pasture into 'Barn Owl Heaven'. This unique nature reserve is not open to the public and all walks are guided by Barn Owl Trust staff.
Re-creating hedge banks, planting an orchard, building a wildlife tower and stone banks, plus the addition of two wildlife ponds has increased the biodiversity of this beautiful landscape which is blessed with great views.
Managing the land for Barn Owls has created wonderful habitat for a wealth of plants and flowers, insects, especially butterflies such as the rare Marbled White, birds such as Kingfishers and Swifts, and a host of animals such as Roe Deer, Weasels and Badgers.
Be inspired by the work of the Barn Owl Trust:
Join us through the seasons for gentle strolls along mown grassy paths.
A boardwalk and wooden bridges built by volunteers allow easy access along the riverside.
Barn Owl Trust Conservation Officers will be on hand to share their knowledge and help spot and interpret the fascinating signs of wild-life.
Described by visitors as 'inspirational', a visit to the Lennon Legacy Project is a chance to see practical wildlife conservation work at first hand.
Refreshments – tea, coffee, squash and biscuits - are provided at each event in our beautiful wood-lined 'Norman Alderson' Meeting Room.
Seasonal Walks: Short gentle walks, but the terrain is steep and uneven in places. Suitable for able bodied folk of all ages. Sensible footwear is advised. Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome.
Seasonal or Evening Walks with Supper or Cream Tea: – Ingredients are locally and organically sourced as far as is practically possible.
In the event of bad weather the walk may be replaced with the Lennon Legacy Project talk and slideshow.
Conservation Days: Make a Difference! Get involved and help the Conservation Team with practical work.
Suitable for robust individuals. Please wear sturdy clothing and footwear – tools and equipment are provided.
Craft Events: Celebrate the seasons creatively – enjoy some fun crafts using natural materials. In December it's festive wreaths.
Making small bird boxes and Barn Owl nestboxes is on the agenda if we get enough interest. Let the office know if this appeals to you.
Entry including Refreshments: tea, coffee, biscuits
A minimum donation of £5 per person - if additional refreshments such as cream teas, suppers etc. are included the minimum donation may be higher to cover costs
Friends of the Trust: Free*

Apple Beet Charoset
Adapted from WholeFoods Market recipes
This colorful fruit and nut chutney pairs well with roasted meats or vegetables. Leftovers make a great condiment on toasted sandwiches.
Cook's Review: "This recipe is easy to make, but the beets "bleed", so cut or grate them in an area that can be easily cleaned up. You could substitute NOW Agave Nectar (which has a better glycemic index and mixes well) for the honey." Natalie S.
Makes 8 servings

Caring for your teeth FAQs
What is Preventative Dentistry?
Preventative Dentistry is the modern way of reducing the amount of dental treatment needed to maintain healthy mouth, teeth and gums. The two major causes of tooth loss are decay and gum disease. The better we prevent or deal with these two problems, the more chance people have of keeping their teeth for life.
The joint efforts of the dentist, the hygienist and the patient can help to prevent the need for treatment, avoiding the traditional pattern of fillings and extractions. A course of treatment may be recommended to you to get your mouth to a good condition and a maintenance plan will be worked out to help you keep it that way.
What can go wrong with my teeth?
Tooth decay can be painful, leading to the need for fillings, crowns or inlays. If tooth decay is not treated, the nerve of the tooth can become infected and die, causing an abscess. This abscess may then need root canal treatment or even extraction.
It is very important that you keep up a good routine to keep your teeth and gums healthy at home. Gum disease is the largest cause of tooth loss in adults. But it is a preventable condition and can be treated and kept under control with regular cleaning sessions and check-ups, preventing further problems. If teeth are lost, it may be necessary to fill the gaps with bridges, dentures or implants.
How can I keep my teeth and gums healthy?
It is easy make sure your mouth is clean and healthy, and to keep it that way by following a simple routine of brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and cleaning between the teeth. By having good eating habits, having sugary foods and drinks less often and making sure you attend regular dental check-ups, you can help prevent most dental problems from occurring. A few small changes in your daily routine can make a big difference in the long run.
Can I help prevent decay through my choice of diet?
Many people think that it is the high level of sugar in your diet which causes decay, but this is not so. It is how often you have sugar in your diet, not the amount, that causes the problems. As it takes an average of 40 minutes for the mouth to neutralise the acid caused by eating and drinking sugar. It is important to limit the number of these attacks by keeping sugary food and drinks to meal times.
What is plaque?
Plaque is a thin, sticky film of bacteria that constantly forms on your teeth.
How can plaque cause decay?
When you eat foods containing sugars and starches, the bacteria in plaque produces acids, which attack the tooth enamel. The stickiness of the plaque keeps these acids in contact with the teeth. After constant acid attacks, the enamel covering the tooth can break down forming a hole or cavity.
How will I know if I have removed all the plaque?
Plaque can be stained with a special dye painted onto your teeth with a cotton bud or with special disclosing tablets which you can get from the dentist. The stain is harmless and will show any areas of your mouth which need better brushing. Look particularly where your teeth and gums meet. Further brushing will remove the stained plaque.
How can plaque cause gum disease?
If plaque is not removed by brushing, it can harden into something called calculus, or tartar. As calculus forms near the gum line, the plaque underneath releases poisons, causing the gums to become irritated and inflamed. The gums may begin to pull away from the teeth and the gaps may become infected. If gum disease if not treated promptly, the bone supporting the teeth is destroyed, and healthy teeth can become loose and fall out. Gum disease is the biggest cause of tooth loss in adults and can eventually lead to a need for dentures, bridges or implants.
How can I prevent gum disease?
It is important to remove plaque and food debris from around your teeth as this will stop your gums from swelling and becoming infected and sore. If you leave plaque on your teeth it can harden into tartar which can only be removed by the dentist or hygienist. It is important to have regular appointments so that your teeth can have a thorough cleaning if they need it.
How would I know if I have gum disease?
Gum disease (gingivitis) will usually show itself as red, swollen gums that bleed when brushed or flossed. Many people are alarmed when they notice their gums are bleeding then they brush more gently, or may avoiding brushing completely. It is important that you continue to clean your teeth and gums regularly and firmly in order to fight the condition.

"…and hereafter ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the power of God, and coming in the clouds of heaven." St. Mark 14:62
It is Good Friday. The day of the Crucifixion. If you haven't seen the movie The Passion of Christ, we recommend it as a solemn preparation for the Good Friday Stations and Service. Here are eight bits of history and tradition about this most somber of days on the liturgical calendar.
- Good Friday is one of two days during the year that the Mass is not celebrated. The Easter Vigil, while taking place in the late evening of Holy Saturday, liturgically occurs on Sunday.
- The Extraordinary Form of the liturgy uses black vestments on this day while the Ordinary Form uses red. The focus in the Ordinary Form being the martyrdom and triumph of Christ instead of the death of Christ.
- The ceremony for venerating the cross on Good Friday first started in Jerusalem during the fourth century following the recovery of the True Cross by St. Helen. During the seventh century the practice spread to the rest of the Church.

S8 Elite™ II CPAP Machine |
The S8 Elite II is the premium continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) model in ResMed's S8 series. The overall design has changed little, but major improvements can be seen in the quietness of the motor and the new Easy-Breathe technology. The Elite II is a compact, all-in-one system that is ideal for travel or the home.
Manufactured by ResMed.
Item #33039
CPAP therapy provides a constant airflow which holds the airway open so that uninterrupted breathing is maintained during sleep. It is traditionally provided through a nasal mask that seals around the nose to maintain the pressure level.
All CPAP masks work with all machines.
We provide our customers with many tools to make informed decisions about their machine purchases. Options include:
We work very hard to provide many different ways for our customers to compare products. Here are the machine product guides we have created and maintain:
Machines come with a six foot hose, power cord, at least one filter, and manuals. Most manufacturers include a carrying case which is designed specifically for their equipment. CPAP / BiPAP / APAP machines do not come with a delivery system or mask. CPAP Masks must be purchased separately.
To see the list of what specifically comes with each machine, you can browse for a machine. Then on the product page, click the "Specs" tab to see a full list of what comes with the machine.
Yes, all CPAPs use at least one filter that is usually a type of foam material and washable. Some CPAPs offer finer filtration with the addition of a disposable paper filter.
Cleaning and changing filters is the only maintenance required for a CPAP machine.
The filters are located at the back of the machine at the air intake. The image below shows the black foam filter at the back of the Everest 3 CPAP Machine.
Yes. Federal law requires we have a valid prescription on file before we ship your mask, machine and/or humidifier.
We provide many easy ways to get your prescription:
The ramp button on a machine is a feature that allows for a gradual pressure build-up to your prescribed pressure. The feature is enjoyed by those with high pressures because they ease up to their pressure.
Exhalation relief is a comfort feature offered by two manufactures which reduces the air flow at the time of exhalation making the breathing process more natural.
The only care a CPAP or BiPAP machine requires is to clean or change the filters at the air intake. This keeps the internal parts from accumulating dust. Fine paper filters should be changed out every 30 days, or when they appear soiled. Foam washable filters should be rinsed with clear running water once a week, allowed to air dry, and reinserted.
There are some other suggested actions to care for your machine:
CPAP machines which record full data (such as AHI and leak info):
First you need to determine if your machine is configured to operate on DC power and has a DC power outlet. If your machine does have a DC power outlet and you want to run your marine battery, then you will need the correct DC cable for your machine and an adapter cable that fits over the cigarette lighter plug and ends in alligator clips.
CPAP.com sells complete battery kits with everything you need for your machine including the right cables for your machine and the battery. You can find the right battery kit for your machine here.
If your machine does not have a DC power outlet, then you will also need an inverter to be able to run your machine on battery power.
If you have questions about the specific power needs of your machine, review the "Power" tab on your machine's product page, or give us a call at 1-800-356-5221.
A CPAP prescription must contain all of the following information:
CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. CPAP therapy is the most commonly recommended, and the most effective, treatment for obstructive sleep apnea.
A CPAP machine provides air at a constant prescribed pressure. The air is delivered to the person through a tube and a CPAP mask. CPAP therapy provides a constant airflow which keeps the airway open so uninterrupted breathing is maintained during sleep. The air stream eliminates Sleep Apnea events and allows the person to get a restful sleep.
The level of air pressure required to maintain your airway is determined during your sleep study. Your doctor will write a prescription for a CPAP machine set at that pressure.
CPAP therapy is delivered through a nasal mask that seals around the nose or nasal pillows which seal at the nasal opening. Full face masks are available for a person who breathes through both the nose and mouth. Many innovative and comfortable options are available and advances in the delivery of CPAP therapy are continually occurring.
For instance: Some machines offer a comfort feature such as FLEX or EPR technology. It provides exhalation relief, a slight drop in pressure at the time of exhalation to help make therapy more natural. APAP, BiPAP and BiLevel machines offer various levels of pressure throughout the night.

Despite Katie's legal victory over her soon-to-be ex-husband, she still lives in constant fear that their daughter, Suri, will be taken away. Read about the frightening details!
Katie Holmes has settled her divorce with Tom Cruise, leaving her with primary custody of their daughter Suri Cruise, 6. But Katie still fears that Tom could change his mind and take Suri at any moment, according to sources close to the actress. Find out what's really going on behind Katie's brave face.
Katie has frequently stepped out in public since her infamous divorce filing on July 29, armed with an ever-present pack of security. But her strong demeanor is hiding a plaguing anxiety.
"Katie's putting on a brave face to the public, but behind closed doors she's living in fear," a source close to the actress told OK! magazine.
"She is going to fight for her daughter," the friend continued. "She refuses to walk away without a fight, knowing that if Suri is left in the clutches of Scientologists, they will do everything they can to indoctrinate Suri against her."
Although Tom's lawyer deny there is any truth to her fears, those close to Katie aren't so sure. And it's not just Tom she is up against — it's his entire religion, too.
"If the Church thought they'd have to kidnap Suri to guarantee her survival, I think they'd do it," Margery Wakefield, Scientology critic and former member said to OK!
While Katie continues to protect Suri and integrate back into everyday life, she still doesn't trust the people in the Church.
What do YOU think HollyMoms? Is Tom going to try and take back Suri?

You're right!
I have never seen anyone who is scared of safety and yet go out on the street everyday.
Katie H must not be telling the truth. She said that her father is very controllling and yet he is a Catholic who helped her with this plan.
She knows tom's into scientology and get pregnant after dating for a few months, married him and after 5 years she divorced him because of his religion.
Now she's scared of Suri's safety so she drags her daughte all over Nyc almost everyday.

Katie just needs to keep reminding Cruise of all the nasty secrets she knows about him and his cult and her willingness to go public if he tries anything stupid with Suri. And also let him know she has it ALL documented in the event anything happens to her. Grab those saggy old balls and squeeze hard Katie!

Stanford Team Readies Solar Car for Aussie Race
- |
- 8:00 pm |
- Permalink
Sasha Zbrozek knows solar cars are completely impractical. But that doesn't mean they aren't awesome. Three-wheeled carbon-fiber race cars covered with photovoltaic cells are innately cool.
They're also hot. Like 130 degrees hot. That's why Zbrozek, president of the Stanford University Solar Car club, has no interest in driving the zero-emissions racer when the team competes in the World Solar Challenge in Australia.
"If you're moving, it's about the ambient air temperature because we've got vents in the car," Zbrozek said of a ride in the car they've named Apogee. "If you're stopped, it's not fun. We've recorded temperatures of 130 degrees in the car. That's in the U.S. I don't even want to think about what it will be in Australia."
Broiling temperatures will be the least of the team's worries when the race begins Oct. 25. They'll face long days, grueling terrain and stiff competition while racing 1,800 miles across the outback. Like everyone else, they'll be chasing the four-time defending champs from Delft University. Zbrozek likes their chances.
"I'm expecting to finish somewhere between fourth and eighth place," he said. "There are 42 teams."
Above: Home is a World War II-era Quonset hut that once housed an Air Force radar research station. Don't let the humble appearance fool you — these guys are serious. Zbrozek (pictured) spent a summer interning at Tesla Motors, where he worked with the team that designed the car's battery pack. Another team member used junkyard parts to build a homemade replica of the Ariel Atom.
The team was founded in 1986 and prides itself on being entirely student run, though it gets some outside help with fundraising. The team has spent about $90,000 on the car since starting work two years ago. That sounds like a lot, but it's nothing in solar car racing. Massachusetts Institute of Technology spent almost $250,000 building its 90-mph solar car, Eleanor.
"We're the scrappy underdog of the upper-level teams," Zbrozek said. "We've got a comfortable, but not elaborate, budget."

Nick Farrell wrote a story on my old organ, theinquirer.net, having a go at Mac OSX.
And that's so inflamed the Fake Steve Jobs that he's taken up his pen again.
As the world+dog knows, the pen is mightier than the sword.
Fake Steve lights out at Farrell and has a nice pop at Windows, comparing it to a waiter who keeps bugging you while you're trying to enjoy your fish+chips.
But the best bit is at the end. He obviously knows Nick Farrell better than most, because he suggests that he's probably the best programmer in the world, "way smarter than all the engineers who work at Apple".
Fake Steve is here. Nick Farrell is over here on the right.
