Color perception and handedness
Name: Carlos Rodriguez Status: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: Around 1993
When the brain sees color, is there a difference in how a right- handed or left-handed person perceives color?
Carlos, This is a great question, but I am not sure that there is an answer. First, how do we know what colors people actually see? The only way we can do anything is by having people match colors with standard chips, but that does not tell us that we actually see the same color, or that we store it in our brains the same way. I cannot think of a way to answer this question. You could try by getting some color samples and having different people match them to some picture. You could see if there is a difference between left and right hand people. A related question is about color blindness. In some books you should be able to find the color samples that show whether someone is color blind. It might be a good study to ask many people whether they can see the colors. Maybe with some of the new brain scans techniques, we might be able to answer it. Keep asking such good questions, you could be a great scientist.
I think of immediate relevance is the anatomy of vision. First of all, colors are primarily decoded in the retina by cones, rods do black/white encoding. Next this encoded signal is processed a bit but essentially maps spatially into the occipital lobe of the brain (rear-end). Since this is the first major location for processing and since it is being spatial in an area of the brain that is not known to have hemispheric specialization, this would suggest that at least at this level there would be no difference between color perception between lefties and righties. That is not the end of the story of course, but then you start running into issues of semantics and philosophy. The occipital lobes do have connections to the rest of the brain, chances are that because of the anatomy there is no real difference in color perception between lefties and righties. In your reply I think you are hinting at the other problems involved and I agree.

Free to air satellite TV, also referred to as FTA, is a free service of delivering television and radio broadcasts in an unencrypted form via satellite with no contract or monthly bill. The only equipment that you require is a free to air receiver (FTA receiver) a 31" or larger satellite dish and a low frequency (linear) LNB. What makes this kind of satellite TV service so popular is once you make a decision on the type of receiver that suits your needs best, all you do is install the dish, connect the signal to the receiver and then you have access to hundreds of channels with no monthly bill.
When you decide that you would like to have an FTA System in your home, your next decision is to select a stationary or motorized package. Let's explain the two different options:
Stationary FTA Satellite System
This type of package includes an FTA receiver, satellite dish, and a linear LNB. This type of package is for those who know what satellite they want too and have done research as to the channels that are available on that satellite. Let's say for example you have cable TV and want to add some Arabic channels because they are not available from your cable company (or you don't want to pay for them). You could get a stationary FTA satellite system and point the dish at Galaxy 19 (located at 97 degrees west) and then you will have plenty of Arabic channels. What ever the language or nationality it's possible to find out what satellite is broadcasting what channels and then get a stationary dish package to get those channels.
Motorized FTA Satellite System
This is the most popular type of FTA satellite system. It adds one more piece of equipment called a Diseqc motor (pronounced, "die sek") What this motor does is attach to the satellite dish and when connected to the receiver, it will move the dish to any satellite you choose. Like we mentioned above, either you know what satellite you want to point too or get a motorized dish and point to any satellite you want to get TV. If new channels are added to the free to air lineup, having a motorized dish will allow you to get maximum TV.

This is something that is extremely easy once you realize that the hook body_class exists. It is important to pass an variable argument (it can be anything, just has to be there), the hook will pass the current array of classes to that argument. Simple usage of this hook is as follows:
function add_body_class ($classes) { $classes[] = 'myclass'; return $classes; } add_filter('body_class', 'add_body_class');
What this does is add the class "myclass" to the <body> class.
Here's an example of adding a specific class to the homepage, add this to your functions.php (for a theme) or your plugin functions page (for a plugin):
function add_home_class ($classes) { if (is_home()) $classes[] = 'myclass'; return $classes; } add_filter('body_class', 'add_home_class');
This can be adapted in any way shape or form, just change the logic in the if statement that wraps around the filter.
Have fun!

Please don't miscontrue mySubmitted by Angie (not verified) on Tue, 09/18/2012 - 4:10pm.
Please don't miscontrue my words, I am not saying that police should not respond rapidly to emergency situations. All I am saying is that if they are going to speed up and down Rt 17 or any other road for that matter, they need to have their LIGHTS ON!! Please give the rest of us half a chance. No one is saying they don't want a rapid response from police. We just don't want them speeding UNLESS they are going to an emergency situation. I have actually seen one officer speed up, put his lights and sirens on to get through a red light and then a mile or so later, turn light off and slow back down? Do they think that no one is watching? The sheriff needs to be made aware that this is happening all the time. »

Web Hosting
�Goldleaf Financial Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ:GFSI), a provider of integrated technology-based solutions designed to improve the performance of financial institutions, today announced that Temple, Texas-based Texell Federal Credit Union has selected the Company for Web hosting, including compliance and security functionality, as well as its marketing services.
With more than $100 million in assets, Texell wanted to drive the growth of its online channel, strengthen its Internet presence and reinforce its brand, while providing a secure forum to protect confidential data and comply with Federal regulations. According to Tony Hale, chief executive officer of Texell, what began as a simple evaluation of Web hosting providers evolved into a much more comprehensive endeavor, ultimately enabling the credit union to reap significant benefits from an extensive program that tied together multiple initiatives. In addition to Web design and maintenance, Texell's program incorporates Goldleaf's marketing services, which ties the global campaign together to ensure cohesive and consistent messaging. Goldleaf's marketing services include detailed market segmentation so the credit union can tailor specific marketing objectives to a particular audience.
"Goldleaf's value proposition was unique, as it presented a solution that truly went beyond our initial needs," Hale said. "Deploying Goldleaf's technology demonstrates our commitment to our members through the creation of an easy-to-navigate, intuitive Web site, fully equipped with security features to protect our members' confidential information. The site is customized, compliant, secure, and we were immediately impressed by the scope and depth of Goldleaf's offering. The marketing services piece was especially attractive, as it pulls together the look and feel of the new site and couples it with marketing initiatives designed to drive more business to our institution."
Texell is also leveraging Goldleaf's distinct security features, including secure sockets layer (SSL: 65.85, -0.24, -0.36%) encryption, SAS-70 audit reporting and the Company's Pharming Shield solution. Credit union executives also cited the flexibility of Goldleaf's solution as a factor in their selection process. Texell has the capability to edit and manage content internally, which maximizes the speed and accuracy at which online information can be updated and maintained. The site has multi-tiered authority to preserve the integrity of the data, as well as the ability for Texell to pre-create site changes that can be implemented on a timed rollout. Additionally, the solution has an automated system that archives changes to Web site content and images that will be tracked throughout the life cycle of Texell's relationship, ensuring compliance with Regulation DD in the Truth and Savings Act.
Todd Shiver, executive vice president of Goldleaf Financial Solutions, said, "Our mission is to help our clients succeed and leverage technology to improve efficiencies, increase profitability, be more competitive, and provide the best products and services in their market. Our entire company is dedicated to the development of innovative solutions that have a positive and direct impact on an institution's asset and customer base. Texell understands its members' needs and has a very strategic approach to Web and marketing services, which we believe enables them to stand apart from the competition."

Editor's Letter
From the Editor
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.
July 18, 2013
The 2013 WSOP Main Event has certainly been an eventful one. With a starting field of 6,352 players, everyone fought for their chance at the final table. After a week of play, the November Nine final table has been cemented. Here is a look at each of the November Nine, their previous poke successes, and their current chip stacks.
1. JC Tran (38,000,000)
Boasting over $9 million in live tournament winnings, two WSOP bracelets, a WPT victory, and much more, JC Tran has established himself as a live tournament pro. He also won the 2006 PokerStars WCOOP Main Event and took home $670,000 for the victory. He enters the final table with an impressive chip stack, which puts him more than 8 million chips ahead of second place.
2. Amir Lehavot (29,700,000)
With over $2 million in live tournament winnings and a WSOP bracelet from a $10K event, Amir Lehavot is one of the many up-and-coming pros with a decent amount of success under his belt. With a second place position, he is very comfortable and definitely ready to get things started once November comes rolling around.
3. Marc McLaughlin (26,525,000)
With nearly $1.5 million in live tournament winnings, Marc McLaughlin is one of the newer and growing live tournament poker pros. Currently sitting in third place, he is positioned to be in contention with the first place prize and is certainly going to receive a bankroll boost once the tournament comes to an end.
4. Jay Farber (25,975,000)
With no recorded live tournament cash finishes, Jay Farber is definitely the underdog going into this year's November Nine. His actual lifetime poker winnings total slightly more than $2,000, which is the least of any November Nine player since 2008.
5. Ryan Riess (25,875,000)
With a total live tournament winnings just pushing over $1 million, Ryan Riess is another up-and-coming poker pro. He has also earned just a little over $300K in online poker tournaments, which is impressive but nothing to write home about.
6. Sylvain Loosli (19,600,000)
Prior to his placement in the WSOP Main Event this year, Sylvain Loosli managed to record only a little over $3,000 in live tournament winnings. This makes him another top underdog, earning just a little over $1,000 more than Jay Farber. Seeing that he is further back in chips after holding the chip lead close to the final table, he is even more poised to tell an underdog comeback story.
7. Michiel Brummelhuis (11,275,000)
With nearly $1.5 million in live tournament winnings, Michael Brummelhuis is still a relatively unknown commodity in the live poker scene. However, he has seen an additional near $700K in online tournament earnings in his career.
8. Mark Newhouse (7,350,000)
With nearly $3 million in live tournament winnings, Mark Newhouse has cemented himself as one of the up-and-coming poker pros. However, entering with such a small chip stack will force him to stack up or bust out early into the final table.
9. David Benefield (6,375,000)
After scraping along the bottom of the field from the start of the last day of action, David Benefield has managed to hold on right to the bottom of the final table. He now records over $1.3 million in live tournament winnings, but receives most of his recognition for being an online poker pro. With the smallest chip stack, fans are closely watching him in hopes of another run from behind once the November Nine final table is finally underway.

Worst mineral veil ever. The lightest makes your face orange. I am so glad i paid only for the tester.
More reviews by lusciouspreciousluv
I got a sample of this and I do not care for the finish at all. I find it too shimmery and it doesn't buff on nicely. There is no actual glitter, but it is shimmery. I don't get that 'airbrushed" finish like I can get with other mineral veils. It is advertised as very sheer with a slight luminescence and it is extremely sheer. It is just a finishing powder so there will be virtually no coverage. I gave it two lippies for the spf 20. It may be nice for ladies looking for an illuminating look wanting to give it a shot, but for me this was one of the worst loose mineral powders I've ever tried.

I am depressed.
I can see you shocked. Your mouths still stretched after voicing the big WHAT!!??&&, your eyes rolled up so high in their sockets, that the pupils are no longer exposed.
It's Christmas week for God's sake I can hear you cry. Christmas and depressed, the ultimate paradox.
But yes my friends, I am feeling blue precisely because it is Christmas.
There's this Christmas spirit all around. We had a bay decoration contest and cake distribution this last Friday. We had carols and nativity quizes. Everybody is planning their weekend. The christians are all agog with excitement over the feasts and midnight mass. The others are just drinking their fill of the holiday spirit.
But I, I feel so Scrooge-like. I have got no one to celebrate with. My parents are in another state and right now my bosses are in no mood to let me go on a vacation.
My friends at work are all going away to be with their families.
So it's going to be a long lonely Christmas for me. Eating a cake bought at the nearest bakery, watching Christmas specials on T.V. .
Anyway, a Merry Christmas to all you lucky ones who get to celebrate the holidays with your families. I miss mine so much...
It really feels great to be thought of by a friend.
I will try to have a great holiday season.
So sorry for damping your spirits.
It's not as bad as I make it out to be.....
Thnaks a lot for all your concern. It feels great to be made a big deal of....
Seasons greetings...
Ardee, I'll be here..
Brian, no matter how much I neglect this place, I know I can always come back and find friends like you to welcome the prodigal friend back. I'll try my best to be a better friend..
C Berg, You are spot on. I've been here for more than a year now. I remember my first post ( you won't find it, I pulled it down.) It was pathetic. Th eonly reason I came back and posted more was because people like undertow and Grif took me seriously and wrote comments which were more than considerate.
Some strangers (as they were to me then) taking a sincere interest in what I wrote told me what this place was all about and I have never been able to stay away for long since then.
M.B. That was one of the items on my to-do list :)

Now For The Big One - Confederations Cup Diary
It is the final everyone predicted and, if it lives up to expectations, we should be talking about it all the way through to next summer's World Cup. The best team in the world against everybody's football favourites has us all rubbing our hands in anticipation of something special and, while much-hyped games often struggle to fulfil their promise, I've got a feeling this Confederations Cup will end with a big bang. There is no reason why it shouldn't. The strengths of both teams lie in their creative abilities, both are a bit ropey at the back, so I certainly expect to see goals. An early one for either side, preferably Brazil, will open things up and, with so much talent on show, we could get a classic. In front of a manic Maracana crowd, Brazil will certainly go for it and, having seen how Italy succeeded in knocking Spain out of their stride for so much of Thursday's semi-final, I don't expect them to sit back and admire their opponents knocking the ball around. Look out for a few tasty challenges in the early stages, with Xavi and Iniesta being discouraged from dwelling on the ball for too long, and the ref will have to be bold to draw an line in the sand before it develops into a kicking match. Who would bet against David Luiz getting an early yellow card? If Spain play without a recognised striker, he will have to think on his feet and I envisage him being lured into the midfield area where he will be inclined to lunge into challenges. And the Spanish will always be capable of exploiting the space behind him. If I was manager of Brazil (a scary thought, eh?), Dante would always be in my side, purely as cover for the big Chelsea man going walkabout. But Brazil won't be preoccupied with stopping Spain. They've got enough talent in their side to take the game to their opponents and, with Neymar playing with Barcelona next season, it will be an opportunity for him to sample Spanish defending. For all the praise the Spaniards get for their pass-and-move football, when it comes to stopping the opposition, Pique and Sergio Ramos ain't too fussy about how they do it. Will one of them see a card before David Luiz? Neymar has been the star of the competition and is now about to embark on the biggest year of his life. If he can reproduce his Confederations Cup form at the Nou Camp - why shouldn't he? - he will go into next year's World Cup on a par with the likes of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Xavi and Iniesta and, with the home crowd behind him, he can take the world by storm. However, television coverage has already highlighted his tendency to throw himself around when on the receiving end of little more than a nudge so he will have to learn to stay on his feet, otherwise referees will be inclined to ignore his amateur dramatics. And with that reputation, he will find that the genuine dull yin will also be ignored, giving defenders unnecessary encouragement to go in heavy. His striking partners have bothered me throughout the Confederations Cup. Returning to my scary thought, I would have dropped Fred before he started to shine with goals against Italy and Uruguay and I would have lost patience with Hulk many moons ago. I've seen what he can do with both Porto and Zenit St Petersburg both it looks like he only puts in a shift if and when he feels it. That isn't good enough at any level of football, let alone the top echelons of the international game, so I'm mystified by Luiz Felipe Scolari's persistence with him. Against opponents who knock the ball around so slickly like Spain, no team can afford to carry passengers so Brazil will need to have all players playing in top gear. There will be no room for showboating at the Maracana tonight, Hulk will need to work up a sweat and, if he doesn't, he will need to be subbed quickly if the game is not to run away from the hosts. Picking a winner is no easy task. Spain are the perfect football team but they've been playing now for several years without any significant break and, having having been pushed all the way by Italy in the heat and humidity of Fortaleza on Thursday night, they will hardly go into this one exuding freshness. Brazil will be aware of this, they won't let them settle into their short passing routine and might just edge it. But I won't be racing down to the cream coolies to put my hard-earned on it. I won't be too surprised, or disappointed, if it takes an extra half-hour or even another penalty kick shoot-out to separate the sides. LITTLE BOY BLUE

I really don't know many people who can not only remember Ed Wood but remember what Martin Landau did in it," he said but added he was told it was more of a life achievement kind of award. "You know they were saying 'Martin's been nominated a few times and you're going to be around for a while. Don't worry.'

Third World countries keep Middle Township man on the road
Written by Cindy Nevitt Monday, April 15, 2013 12:00 am
< Prev | Next > |
MIDDLE TOWNSHIP – Gary Schempp's travels have taken him to 70 different countries and 47 of America's states. Traveling to 30 percent of the world's countries would appear to be an expensive proposition, but Schempp, a beekeeper in the Dias Creek section of Middle Township, has found a way to go almost anywhere for almost nothing.
His modus operandi: He travels mostly to underdeveloped and developing countries.
Nicaragua, his most recent destination, proved imminently affordable as Schempp redeemed airline miles to fly to his destination and then sheltered with native families or stayed in hostels to remain within his budget.
"What inspired me to do Third Worlds and to backpack and stay in hostels was my divorce," said Schempp, 58, whose 20-year marriage to his first wife and mother of his two adult children ended in 1998. "Rather than give in to fate and say 'I've got no money,' I decided to find the funds and find a way. I didn't want to stop traveling, so the way I traveled was transformed."
For his 2013 adventure, which took place from mid-January to mid-February, Schempp flew virtually free to Granada, Nicaragua, where for $90 a week for the first two weeks he had a room and three meals a day through a "home stay." The accommodations in a native family's home were sparse but adequate for Schempp, who travels light no matter the length of the trip.
He splurged and spent $150 for a week's worth of daily, one-on-one lessons at a Spanish-language school, then idled away his afternoons following the four-hour morning sessions by sightseeing and indulging his hobby for photography.
He has an eye for the artistically, well-framed shot as well as the mundane. Nothing escapes the camera lens, including bathrooms and stray animals in the street.
"I show everything, not just the pretty stuff," Schempp says of his photos, which he posts at http://public.fotki.com/GaryGS1/travel_albums/. "I want to give people an idea of what it's really like, not just the museums and fluff. People would be shocked if they went there and didn't know that's the way it is."
While in Granada, one of four port cities located along the shores of Lake Nicaragua, the largest freshwater body of water in Central America, Schempp and a guide did some kayaking. He then overnighted at hostels and farms as he moved toward Ometepe, an island formed from two volcanoes in Lake Nicaragua, where a $14-a-night tree house served as his accommodations during his four-day stay at a permaculture farm/retreat.
"If I like a town or city, I stay a few days," Schempp said of his travel philosophy. "When I'm done, I move on. When I'm tired, I nap. When I'm hungry, I eat."
A saying he found carved into the kitchen wall of a hostel in Cork, Ireland, sums up his approach to world travel: "The fewer are my needs, the greater is my home."
One of two other excursions he has scheduled this year is a Route 66 road trip from Chicago to Santa Monica, Calif. He and a travel acquaintance named Peter Molenaar, whom Schempp met online a few years ago and has since visited in Holland, plan to spend three weeks exploring national parks in the west and southwest in September.
"Two times a year I try to do a trip," he said. "If I can sneak in a third one, I do."
His second wife, Erin, whom he married in September, encourages him to continue the international travels he began in 1998 following his divorce.
"Third Worlds and backpacking are not her thing," said Schempp, who will take his first trip with Erin this May. Somehow, he has found a way for two to travel almost as cheaply as one: Their two-week stay at an all-inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic will cost $183 and their airfare will be free.
Past and future travels
If things go as planned, January 2014 should find him in Panama for a month, with Erin joining him for one of the four weeks he is there.
Last year, he spent three weeks in Guatemala, learning Spanish and spending time with local beekeepers. In February 2011, he took what he calls "the Route of the Maya" tour in Central America, starting in El Salvador and traveling through Guatemala and Honduras before ending two weeks later in Belize.
The winter of 2010-11 he visited Western Europe, spending Christmas Day in Amsterdam. Highlights of that trip included the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein. In February of 2009, he traveled to India and Singapore, and in February 2008, he went to Vietnam. In February 2006, he toured Southeast Asia, stopping in Cambodia, Thailand, Laos and Myanmar.
As the dates of his trips indicate, Schmepp mostly travels in colder weather.
"I'm not a winter person," he said. "That's why I always went someplace. The Third Worlds are in the sun belt. There are places you can go where you can have summer all the time."
Although that's no guarantee the weather will cooperate, Schmepp said, citing a backpacking trip he took through Scandanavia when it rained every day.
"A good travel experience a lot of times is very weather dependent," he said.
He learned that lesson long ago, in the late 1970s, when he and his first wife took a three-month, cross-country trip on a $1,000 budget and woke one night in Montana to find their tent surrounded by three feet of snow and an elk sauntering through their camp site. They visited central and northern states as they drove westward, and returned through southern states on the drive back to Cape May County. To date, Schempp has not visited North Dakota, Louisana and Alaska in the United States.
Marriage and family life shaped the tone of his travels through the 1980s and 1990s, as trips to Disney World were traditional at Easter time. Schempp himself has been to Mickey Mouse's kingdom 17 times, his children 11 times. The family also took trips to ski in Colorado, and to Hawaii, California, Chicago, New England and cultural centers along the East Coast, including Williamsburg, Va.; Washington, D.C.; and Baltimore Harbor, Md.
When his son, Gary Jr., an events photographer, graduated college, Schempp took him for three weeks to Australia. He's backpacked with his daughter, Alaina, who recently earned her master's degree in film and media studies in Amsterdam. Those experiences, he said, are "the most memorable times, sharing common goals of looking for food, looking for a hostel, sharing activities and making friends."
Schempp wanted to give his children experiences he had been denied as a child, the youngest of four children being raised by a widow in Philadelphia row house. His first real taste of travel, other than weeklong summer vacations in Wildwood that his mother financed with her Social Security checks, was a road trip that his oldest brother arranged.
The brother, 19 years older than Schempp, took his first teaching job in South Dakota and wanted his mother to see where he was living. So the summer Schempp was 10, his brother drove him and his mother across the country.
"I was amazed," said Schempp, who remembers seeing the Badlands and Mount Rushmore in South Dakota and experiencing a snowstorm on Pike's Peak in Colorado in July. "That 1965 road trip made a big impression on me."
Life on the farm
After 30 years of owning a pest management company, during which he took trips to escape the stress of owning the business, Schempp sold it and started Busy Bees NJ. He sells pure, raw local wildflower honey from an honor box on the porch at his Dias Creek business, and has plans to open a store on the site this summer.
In addition to beekeeping and giving educational talks on the subject, Schempp offers bee removal services, and will extract hives, bees and organic matter from the walls of infested homes using infrared heat technology to detect the insects' whereabouts.
His 18-acre farm has been his home since he was 12 years old. His widowed mother married a widower with 14 children, and she and Schempp moved from Philadelphia to the man's farm in Cape May County. None of his stepfather's children wanted the farm when their father died, so Schempp purchased it from the estate.
In the kitchen at his Busy Bees NJ office, Schempp is surrounded by computer monitors that continually flash photos from his extensive travels, many of which are archived online and available for viewing at the above-mentioned web site. Earlier photos are organized into albums that date from 1954, the year he was born.
Boxes of jarred honey are stacked on the kitchen floor, half-way obscuring a supersize wall calendar that is noted with Schempp's travel plans for the year. Bookshelves in the living room hold the guide books Schempp has collected over the years, with Lonely Planets publications his Bible for international travel and Rick Steves' guides his trusted source for European travel.
Although he plans his trips to make the most of them, Schempp has no set order in mind or number of countries he eventually wants to visit.
"I don't have a goal," he said. "Wherever I get to, I get to."
Spoken just like the practitioner of yoga and transcendental meditation he is.

Up until the end of 2003, one thing that was working quite well was image ALT tags. Now it isn't. We'd automatically/dynamically tag all images which clients put in, with the appropriate target search phrase for a page. We'd also dynamically tag various parts of the template with their phrases.
Around December clients started disappearing from Google completely, and after some investigation, it appears that the ALT tags have been the problem. I have a few "theories", that I'd like to put forward to see if anyone has similar hunches.
1) Google has some kind of ratio between keyword presence in text content and keyword presence in non-text content, and if you overdo the non-content, you're out
2) Google favours large images (not sure if these are dimensionally large or file size large) and if you use keyword rich alt tags on small images you're in trouble, especially if you use them a few times
3) Repetition of the same keyword rich ALT tag is a no-no, unless there is plenty of rich content to balance it out. I have clients where the same keyword rich ALT tag is very relevant, and some do well with it, others are dropped out. Can't work out the difference though - possibly point (2) above.
If so it could be that the keyword density was too high and not necessarily correlated to the use of alt tags.
I think if we use different keywords (4 keyword/image) on different of the images there would not be any problem. One thing that is accepted that if you use plenty of keywords in the text and source code, that may be a cause of the OOP.
Your views.
Thanks Exp...
I regularly use ALT Tags and at no point in time, could I precisely conclude it has anything to do with ranks going up/down.
I tend to agree based on what I've monitored over the past few months. Seems like an easy target if they're looking to shoot down conventional keyword stuffing techniques.
* If you stuff your ALT tags with keywords you get penalized
* If use non-descriptive text for ALT tags you get penalized because Google likes web sites that are accessible, and without ALT tags even on small images your site is inaccessible. This "may" include having target keywords for every ALT tag, but these are still non-descript. They are obvious attempts at manipulating and not serving the ALT tag purpose.
* If you don't use alt tags your site will produce warnings with W3. Google likes (especially for spidering) sites that are easy to read and follow including having every ALT tag labelled.
Just my 2 cents
<= Mouse over the Stickymail graphic in your profile - the alt attribute is 'local msg'.
That alt attribute appears at least 10 times on every page here at webmaster world. alt="local msg"
So you'd expect it was indexed?
There were about 201,000 Google results for site:www.webmasterworld.com webmasterworld
Your search - site:www.webmasterworld.com webmasterworld "local msg" - did not match any documents.
I think you're barking up the wrong tree - alt attributes are good for accessibility by text browsers, and for the disabled - use them for that purpose.
Chris_D Sydney Australia
Effectiveness of the alt attribute aside, one thing to consider is that pretty much anything you repeat throughout the entire website (like, "Widget-Mania!") is going to be dampened. Thus, when a product manufacturer does a search for their product, post-Florida their website no longer appears in the first twelve positions of the serps.
You now find that one or two results will come from the manufacturer and the rest of the serps are from sites that talk about it in one way or the other. For instance, I did a Google search for "alt text w3c" which gave me the first two results from w3c, and the rest from sites that talk about it.
Doing a site search of the w3.org for the term "alt text" returns 4,330 results.
A search in Yahoo! returns 5 results from w3.org in the top 10, and the first position is held by a site other than the W3C (now there's food for thought!)
Alt text should not pop up on mouseover. If it does, then that is a browser bug. The title attribute is the one that should pop up. The alt text is alternative text shown when the image does not load or image loading is switched off.
There is one result now - namely this thread ;)
Widgets is used twice in the page title and the two words together are the listed in my Meta keywords. The ONLY other time the two words appear together is on a page header image alt attribute. This would appear to be very significant since my word widgets is very competitive. This page was not deliberately optimised for this particular term. It's high rank is purely coincidence and I am very surprised that it is there at all.
This would appear to fall in with Google's accessibility philosophy since alt text is also used for visually impaired users who use speech synthesizers with text-only browsers that cause this text to be spoken out loud.
WRT the over use of keywords in alt tags/attributes, let's say that you have a navigation menu with twenty options selectable by clicking an interactive button based on an image. Let's say that you named the alt text on this image "widgets menu button". Would it not be valid to name all twenty of them the same? If so would you be penalised for doing so?
* Alt tags have least effect * Search terms in Domain names have more weightage * backlinks are not getting updated * Inner pages are not being crawled (the content changes are not reflected even after a month) * Some pages from sites such as www.amazon.com appear in top SERP's just because they have the search term specified once on the page.
any comments
[edited by: Grace at 2:32 pm (utc) on Mar. 8, 2004]
A disabled user would probably hope the answer is "Yes." :-)
A better solution would be simply to use the alt text "button." Or, even better, to dump the buttons and use text links.
Actually, I just checked some comeptitor sites and they actually have ALT text stuffed with keywords. It's an obvious attempt to gain rank in SERPS, yet they are #1 in the results! I think it's just a coincidence, where Google just ignores ALT text and looks at the other important stuff like "content" and "backlinks".
That does not mean that it is right though!
>> Always has done in Internet Explorer. <<
That IS a bug. It is NOT the correct response.
It is not a bug. It is part of the MICROSOFT internet explorer specification and implementation. It is not part of the W3C specification. However, having the text show when you mouse over is INTENTIONAL and was specifically designed into IE.
As I stated above google will also read the tag from the header image.
Does the keyphrase appear in the description of the page for that search result on google? If it is appearing in the description then yes it is having an impact. Since the phrase is only used once as a phrase, but the words appear elsewhere seprateley then, phrase + words = content match.

First of all, give http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board...ead.php?t=2619 a quick read before continuing on here. It lays an excellent foundation and describes Fiddlesticks' skills (which I won't do here). This guide is being written assuming that the reader has a basic understanding of skill builds, items, abbreviations, and the general mechanics of LoL. Skill Build: 1 - Dark Wind 2 - Terrify 3 - Dark Wind 4 - Drain 5 - Dark Wind 6 - Crowstorm After 6: Crowstorm > Dark Wind > Terrify > Drain The build I (and the other cited guide) advocate is a quick Dark Wind build. Secondary to that, Terrify is gold for just general utility. A single point in Drain early on allows you to use it; it performs functionally as HP replenishment fine at 1 rank and tends not to shine offensively until it has a lot of AP behind it. Items: Doran's Ring, Health Potion at start Boots of Swiftness *Mejai's Soulstealer *Lich Bane Abyssal Scepter *Warmog's Living Armor *Banshee's Veil Zhonya's Ring All items marked with * have a situational use, see below: -Doran's Ring has proved itself time and time again to be an incredibly useful starting item, despite a few other potentially better-looking starting items, so I've stuck with it. Health Potion for early lane longevity. -The natural boots choice would be Sorcerer's Boots (especially since you'll be wanted lots of spell penetration as described below), however the Movement 3 on Boots of Swiftness is practically a requirement to get the full bang for your buck out of Crowstorm. People ARE going to run from you, and you will need to be able to keep up. -The new Mejai's Soulstealer is a fickle item. In order to get it to an acceptable AP/gold ratio it needs quite a few stacks. I only get it in solo que games where I take the solo lane; ie use it in games where you can be sure you'll have a foothold from which to gain a lot of kills (at least over the course of the game) as soon as you buy it AND if you're good enough not to die too much to impede buff stacking. -Lich Bane is a potential early alternative prior to Abyssal Scepter. It offers a number of advantages (most markedly, the % movement speed increase) at the cost of a rather hefty pricetag. Nowadays this is my Mejai's Soulstealer replacement of choice when I play with my regular group; even when I take solo lane they're all good enough gankers that I usually end up with a ton of assists or never making it to the gank before the enemy is dead. -Abyssal Scepter is required. AOE spell penetration builds on Fiddlesticks' aura and makes Crowstorm that much more deadly. -Warmog's Living Armor if you have, or suspect you'll have, any substantial difficulty staying alive through Crowstorm and/or team battles. -I've been starting to shy away from Banshee's Veil lately; in my opinion most of the situations it would theoretically be useful are trumped by Warmog's. Keep it in mind, though. -Finally, stack Zhonya's Ring until you're out of inventory spaces. Don't forget to pawn off your Doran's Ring for an extra Zhonya's if you run out of space too. Buy this extra early if your Mejai's starts getting really high stacks to capitalize on the AP+25%. Runes: Right now I would recommend that your rune choices focus on spell penetration, cooldowns, and ability power in that order. Right now I'm using Blue, Red, and Purple to stack spell pen and Yellow to stack cooldowns. Masteries: Offensive: 3/3 Archmage's Savvy 1/3 Deadliness 4/4 Sorcery 1/1 Archaic Knowledge Utility: 3/3 Perseverence 1/3 Good Hands 4/4 Expanded Mind 1/1 Greed 3/3 Meditation 3/3 Quickness 1/4 Awareness 3/3 Intelligence 2/4 Awareness 1/1 Presence of the Master The above is my recommendation. Feel free to fudge points as per personal preference or for summoner spell buffing. Summoner Spells: As of current patch I recommend Teleport and Cleanse. Before the current patch it would have been Flash instead of Cleanse, but the survivability advantages Flash had before it was nerfed are now watered down to marginal. I tend not to use Flash offensively, but if you wish to use it with Crowstorm to shut down fleeing players it'll still do the job. Strategy/Micromanagement: I'm not going to get into the intricacies of dealing with individual heroes/team compositions--the finer points of which strategies rely heavily on experience, and deal in a few personal trade secrets. -Dark Wind doubles as an excellent creep farming ability and an effective harassment tool. It will also destroy groups of neutral creeps. Avoid targeting players directly unless they are within immediate range. -Never casually blow Dark Wind on a lone enemy or creep. -Terrify=>Drain is an excellent combo, but don't be afraid to use either separately. -Astute opponents will do whatever they can to force you to break Drain once they catch you using it, keep this in mind. -Whenever possible, always begin Crowstorm from out of enemys' sight. This can be done over jungle walls or from grass. Failing that, make sure you have some distraction. -Harass melee heroes who move up to last hit within range of your attack. -In the early lane phase, a good Crowstorm will destroy opponents who stick around at low to medium health. Make sure they won't have time to retreat to their tower if you go for it. -If able, Dark Wind and Terrify both discourage enemy pursuit.

Probably the only Fiddlesticks guide i approve of. And I only play fiddlesticks for the most part anymore. My only differences which you might consider: -High Elo ratings you need a Rod of Ages, otherwise you are far too squishy. Depending on the team, i may have two. Warmogs is a great HP item, but RoA gives a more well rounded benefit in addition to a Catalyst the Protector to level with -Yellow runes are probably best used for AP runes. A more often crowstorm is a lot less useful and a more powerful one. -As with every character, I firmly believe any game that you think will last any bit more than 60 minute, you need a Guardian Angel. 90 seconds of dead time is far more detrimental than 100 AP less.
Yea, i see what you are saying on those points. RoA is built off of Catalyst, obviously, which is a great leveling item. In games that i get one of, ill end up with around 2700 hp, in games with two, over 3k. I think anything more than that might be overkill at the expense of AP. With CD reduction, i generally group with an amumu, and we attempt to match CDs as much as possible. So its moreso him matching with mine. Of course you could always be reganked, but if you are ever not in a team fight (aside from backdooring) at the hour+ mark, you are doing something wrong. 3-5 Guardian Angels will pretty much guarantee your team will not be the one at the 90 second respawn. Obviously, everything is based upon personal preference, play style, and who you queue up with. Not every fiddlesticks has the luxury of laning with an Amumu everytime like I do, so your build might be more suited to someone solo queueing.

I have a new style Ford Focus Titanium which was new in March 2011.
I got an iPod for Christmas which I've now got connected in the Focus via USB and audio jack cable. All been ok for the past couple of weeks. This evening, I plugged it in before I left work and closed the glove box door, as soon as I did, the centre console lights and display went out however the radio was still playing. So I switched the ignition off, waited a bit and started the car again. No centre console lights, no display and now no sound.
I did all the usual stuff of unplugging the iPod and plugging it in again, turning it off, tried turning the radio on and off, pressing the CD/radio/phone/aux buttons. Nothing. I unplugged the iPod and drove off, no music and no illumination from the centre console.
Everything else was ok, the doors locked with the button and the light came on, the hazards work but the red button doesn't illuminate. The climate control isn't affected and still works.
Since getting home, I have checked the relevant fuses in the fusebox in the book and in the passenger footwell. All appear to be ok and no sign of one popping.
Can anyone offer any advice or something to check that I might've missed? Or perhaps suggest what might've caused this?
I suspect I'll have to take it in to my local Ford dealer.
Thanks in advance,
Adam Smith

Elusive green salamander is abundant in region, UVa-Wise grad finds
Herpetologists may spend their entire careers studying amphibians and reptiles without encountering Aneides aeneus, an elusive lungless critter known informally as a green salamander.
Jack Wayland, a 2013 graduate of The University of Virginia's College at Wise, completed extensive undergraduate research on the green salamander and its habitat in Southwest Virginia. His research could lead to developing ways to better protect the species so it can rebound and get off of several states' endangered or rare lists.
"I was surprised at how abundant they were on High Knob and Flag Rock," he said during a break from extra classes he is taking to prepare for dental school. "Based on the research, we believe that they like that area because of the rock outcrops and crevices. The species is declining around the nation, but not here. Many herpetologists have the green salamander on their bucket lists."
The green salamander is known for the greenish markings found on the top of its body. An adult green salamander can reach up to five inches in total body length, and it is mainly found in forested rock outcrops and cliff faces, especially in sandstone and limestone. Its habitat extends from southwestern Pennsylvania along the Appalachian Mountains to northern Alabama and Mississippi.
Wayland, a biology major, first learned of the species while taking classes taught by Professor Wally Smith. He decided to participate in the Fellowship in Natural Science program, which meant finding a solid research project. The green salamander was intriguing.
The Springfield, Va. resident began his research by randomly marking and surveying 100 crevices weekly in 2013 at Norton's Flag Rock area. He used crevice height, depth and width, distance to trees, canopy cover levels and other factors to model crevice occupancy. He used weather factors and time of day to model probability of detecting the green salamander.
He found that there was an inverse relationship to rain. In other words, the more rain, the less likely it was to see the species. He also discovered that he was more likely to spot a green salamander in internal rock crevices rather than external rock crevices.
"I concluded that the presence and number of the green salamander is underestimated in this part of Southwest Virginia," Wayland said. "This area could be considered a hot spot for the species, especially in areas of rock formations in places that were not heavily timbered."
Wayland said the sites found in his research cause him to believe that that the area deserve an increased conservation focus and may drive patterns of dispersal and gene flow throughout the region.

February is Black History Month, an important and special time on the calendar for all people of African descent because it is a time to reflect upon where we have been as a collective and where we are going in the future. It's a time to remember all of the pioneers who led the way for Black people to be judged as first class citizens worldwide and a time to celebrate our achievements in all realms of society from politics to sports to entertainment and everything in between. For us here at MuchMusic Black History Month is a time for us to recognize artist and songs which raised awareness of the Black struggle over time.

As of Dec. 31, 2013, Puget Sound Energy has closed the LED Traffic Signal Rebate Program to new applications. It has been determined through internal and third party reviews that this technology has become standard practice and no longer requires an incentive. Projects submitted prior to the end of 2013 will have until June 30, 2014 to turn in final paperwork on completed projects.
Going forward, PSE will continue to focus on promoting LED technology through its Street Lighting Program. PSE will work with municipalities to provide incentives for this rapidly expanding technology to reduce their energy demand and maintenance costs related to street lighting.
There are currently two special LED Rate Schedules for street lighting to reduce cost by having Intolight own and maintain fixtures.
PSE's LED Street Lighting Program has already brought success to a number of municipalities, including Bonney Lake.
"PSE's LED Street Light Program was instrumental in improving safety in our community while reducing the overall energy use and associated costs for keeping our streets lit. Bonney Lake residents can enjoy better visibility at night without significant impact to the city's bottom line. The incentive from PSE made the switch affordable," says John Woodcock, City of Bonney Lake, City Engineer.
Non-residential, PSE customers who would like to have Intolight install and maintain LED street lights are eligible for this special rate schedule. The electricity to power street lights must be provided by PSE.
PSE reserves the right to inspect installations for compliance prior to payment.
