Available for Hendrik Grise:
Hendrik Grise (1914-1982)By Professor Mark AxelrodIn 1982, Hendrik Grise (pronounced Gr-ice) died at the age of 68. In terms of contemporary artists, dead or alive at the time, his death went as unrecognized as his life. The 80s were a time of De Kooning and Lichtenstein and Rauschenberg, among others, artists who had already pushed the "plastic arts envelope"; however, more than a quarter-of-a-century after his Grise's, there will be no retrospective of his work since his art literally lay scattered among antique store relics, weather-beaten storage facilities and bankrupt art galleries from Orange, California to High Street in Herefordshire, United Kingdom. Grise studied at the Art Institute of Chicago though there is no archival record of his attendance there and at the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts; he received an LA Times Award for Retail Art and worked for Robinson's, Broadway, Neiman Marcus and Marshall Field and taught drawing, painting and commercial art throughout the 50s and early 60s. In 1964, he had an exhibit at Chaffey College of some 30 black and white drawings of which few remain. Because there is no catalogue of the works extant, just what the writer meant by the terms s/he used are open for speculation, but what I found most engaging about his work is that one can see how he would have been successful in drawing retail ads and how he then employed certain techniques of commercial ads into his nudes. It would appear that he parlayed his background in retail art as a point of departure to create a collection of nudes that both showed his facility for drawing and his facility for using color that were both boldly colorful and uniquely imaginative and certainly a product of the 70s.What Grise appeared to have done was to use his background in fashion design and expand the technique. One usually thinks of line art as being monochromatic and in a number of Grise's works he uses monochromatic color, but adds a flare to it so that the straight and curved lines are replaced with sweeping gestures of color. Though line art displaces color for form and outline, Grise's work displaces form and outline for color and the majority of his watercolor nudes express that choice of color over line. What truly distinguishes Grise's work from his contemporaries (circa 1970s) is that it is replete with self-reflexivity, a notion marked by or making reference to its own artificiality or contrivance, which was seen more in the fiction of the 60s and 70s (and still today) than in painting. The kind of self-reflexivity one might read in the works of writers such as John Fowles or Italo Calvino, John Barth or Donald Barthelme, among others, parallels a lot of what Grise was doing in many of his nudes all of which have no titles; that is, the self-conscious artist whose painting hand takes a prominent place in Nude Reclining with Pen in Hand (my title) or in his pen and ink drawing of himself, peering around what might be an easel and canvas in Grise Spying on his Model (my title). Grise often paints himself into his nudes as the "voyeur" in the guise of the "teacher." This insertion of the artist into the art, thus baring the artificiality of the artwork itself, was a major hallmark of postmodern fiction writers. Whether Grise knew of those writers and of the technique is open to speculation since there is no record of that; however, there is clearly a confluence of imagination that is seen as if all roads led to the same place at the same time.There is scant biographical information on Grise's life and virtually nothing on his art. It would appear that he languished in the Los Angeles art climate of the 60s and 70s and, perhaps, aware of that marginalization spent his time pursuing teaching and painting on his own. The only evidence that he exhibited in a gallery other than the gallery at Chaffey College was a February, 1983 (sic) exhibit at the Chaffey Community Art Association's Museum of History and Art during which time he shared space with two other artists. Other than that, there is no evidence that he exhibited anywhere. Although he taught for 30 years at both Chaffey College and Cal State Los Angeles, any record of his work is unavailable and there is little in writing that even alludes to his work. One can only speculate on the reasons for that apparent dismissal; however, as his health began to fail him (he suffered from diabetes) and his eyesight began to deteriorate (if was said that he needed to use an apparatus to keep his eyelids open) he apparently shifted from painting nudes to painting abstracts and some of his abstracts are as engaging, on a less formidable level, as Pollock's. One can easily try to associate a painter with another painter as easily as one may try to associate one writer with another writer, but if one reads Kafka or Beckett or Joyce, one doesn't really need to be told one is reading Kafka or Beckett or Joyce. The distinctions should be readily apparent. Without looking at the signature, whether in pencil or in the stone, one immediately recognizes the work of Chagall or Picasso or Matisse without a guidebook, but there is an unmistakable "signature" to Grise's work as well. There's a movement and a temperament to his work that engages itself immediately and that engagement is pervasive.
Dr. Mark Axelrod is Professor of Comparative Literature, Director of the John Fowles Center for Creative Writing, Director of English Graduate Studies, Department of English, Chapman University.He has done extensive research on the artist's work and how it relates to certain postmodern writers and writings of the 20th century.
Hendrik Grise was born in Michigan on June 5, 1914 and died in Monterey Park, California on February 7, 1982. He trained in commercial art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago Professional Art School, and Dallas Museum of Art. He concurrently taught commercial art at Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga from 1950 to 1980 and worked in Advertising Art Departments at many large retail department stores in the Southland.Other than participating in a 1970's exhibition titled Three Artists/Three Points of View at the Museum of History and Art in Ontario, Ca., Grise apparently had little interest in selling or exhibiting his art to the public. He was most active in the 70s up to his death. He specialized in abstracts and human figures. In both genres, the process of painting was on an equal footing with content.In abstract painting he was primarily influenced by Mark Tobey (whom he knew) and his concept of "white writing," which blended occidental and oriental motifs in a mystical, calligraphic art. In paintings of figures he was profoundly influenced by German artist Hans Bellmer, who was both his contemporary and a commercial artist like Grise.Grise's abstractions are designs of strong colors executed in poster paint on paper. Rejecting the dominant abstract rends of the 1960s, he used an extensive array of amorphous shapes, daubs, sinuous lines and squiggles, arabesques, circles, arcs, and triangles in a freewheeling, fluid style, where a sense of spontaneity is a conspicuous hallmark. Sometimes Grise inserted objective elements, such as planetary bodies, into his abstractions to stimulate a closer visual relationship between his work and the viewer.Grise's figure paintings, which were executed on paper in poster paint and/or watercolor, almost always depict nudes to explore multi-layered sexual themes. Grise's work has a special connection between him and his proxy "mentor and hero" Hans Bellmer. Bellmer manipulated the female body for the purpose of a complexly motivated male imagery, explored the notion of perversity inherent in sexuality, and believed in sexual liberation, regardless of price. Although their imagery is dissimilar, they share many basic notions which underlie their images. His nudes are highly expressive, sexually evocative, usually racy, and often very graphic. His exaggerated and distorted anatomical features have Freudian implications. There are no "innocent" figures in his visual narratives; all in some way are complicit figures.In his approach to exploring sex, Grise had no counterpart, either in Bellmer or his contemporaries in Los Angeles. Singularly, Grise extensively experimented with the concept of "self-reflexivity," a historical device that gained popularity among writers in the 1970s but untried to any meaningful extent by other artists of the period. In literature and art, self-reflexivity refers to the inclusion of the writer or artist himself into the context of the work. Grise applied the device by inserting himself in the guise of a wide range of sexual personas. At times, Grise appears as a relatively conventional-looking artist, gazing and peering at this model, and at other times he portrays himself as fantastical, lusting for his model. Sometimes his presence is known through insertion of his paint brush or body features, such as his hands or lips. His personas revolve around sexual desires. They take the viewer deep into the libido, which is manifested through anatomical exaggerations of the models and the artist. It is likely that Grise's personas are beyond self-revealing; they may be a de facto representation for the libido of Everyman and Everywoman.

IMF chief Lagarde: Woman of the year in 2012?
Unable to solve its euro crisis, Europe is turning to the International Monetary fund. Its new leader, Christine Lagarde, brings unusual skills to solve a debt crunch that could stall the world economy.
REUTERS/Jason Reed
As a French woman who worked for years in America, Christine Lagarde brings a particular leadership style to solving the world's economic woes. In 2012, her style – which is inclusive, humble, and pragmatic – could be the kind that leads Europe out of its financial crisis.
Ms. Lagarde took over at the 187-nation International Monetary Fund last July and, ever since, Europe's squabbling politicians have looked to her to do what they have so far failed to do for the 17-nation eurozone.
Up to now, she has not been highly visible, even though she's steadily filling a power vacuum for Europe. Lagarde prefers to work in the background, listening to diverse views, probing thorny details, and finding common ground.
Perhaps she learned to shun the spotlight after being on a winning team in synchronized swimming when she was young. Later, as France's finance minister, she designed many of the reforms that shed the country's socialist past, although she didn't take the glory.
Lagarde is the first female to lead the IMF, which serves as the world's lender of last resort for troubled economies. As a long-time lawyer in Chicago, where she worked mainly with men, she honed her skills as a mediator. She creates solutions without trying to take credit for solutions.
With a soft-but-insistent style, she could become the unsung hero of 2012 who prevents Europe's woes from crashing the world economy.

The purpose of the study was to assess the effects of exercise interventions with different impact loading characteristics on lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN) bone mineral density (BMD) in older adults. We searched electronic databases and hand searched selected journals up to February 2011 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the effects of impact exercise interventions on LS and FN BMD in older adults. Exercise protocols were categorized according to impact loading characteristics. Weighted mean difference (WMD) meta-analyses were undertaken. Heterogeneity amongst trials and publication bias was tested. Random-effects models were applied. Trial quality assessment was also undertaken. Nineteen RCTs, including 1577 subjects, met the inclusion criteria. Twenty-two study group comparisons reported BMD data at the LS. Meta-analysis showed a significant change in BMD at this site (WMD 0.011 g/cm2, 95% CI 0.003 to 0.020; p = 0.007), although results were moderately inconsistent (I 2 = 52.2%). BMD data at the FN were available from 19 study group comparisons among older adults. Results were inconsistent (I 2 = 63.6%) in showing a significant positive effect of exercise on BMD at this site (WMD 0.016 g/cm2, 95% CI 0.005 to 0.027; p = 0.004). Combined loading studies of impact activity mixed with high-magnitude joint reaction force loading through resistance training were effective at LS (WMD 0.016 g/cm2, 95% CI 0.002 to 0.036; p = 0.028), and no inconsistency existed among these trials. Odd-impact protocols were also effective in increasing BMD at LS (WMD 0.039 g/cm2, 95% CI 0.002 to 0.075; p = 0.038) and FN (WMD 0.036 g/cm2, 95% CI 0.012 to 0.061; p = 0.004), although heterogeneity was evident (I 2 = 87.5% and I 2 = 83.5%, respectively). We found consistency among results for low-impact and resistance exercise studies on LS and FN, although non-significant BMD changes were evident amongst these types of protocols at any site and amongst the RCTs that provided a combined loading impact exercise at FN. Funnel plots showed no evidence of publication bias. Trial quality was moderate to high. The findings from our meta-analysis of RCTs support the efficacy of exercise for increasing LS and FN BMD in older adults.

For children too young to remember, 9/11 still creates perspectiveSeptember 11, 2001, is a day many of us will never forget. But for some, it's a day they don't even remember. A group of fifth graders at Mary C. Williams Elementary were babies the day terrorists attacked America. They don't remember the events of the day that shook our world, but they have a pieced-together view of it from family members, teachers and the media.

Surrey suffered a remarkable final day collapse to start the season with a 10-wicket defeat at the hands of Glamorgan at the Kia Oval.
Starting day four in command on 50-2 with a lead of 121, Surrey contrived to lose their last eight second innings wickets for just 33 further runs to leave Glamorgan chasing 152 to win.
The target proved no issue for the Welshmen, who knocked it off on the stroke of tea thanks to unbeaten half-centuries from Gareth Rees (75 not out) and Will Bragg (72no).
While Rees and Bragg confidently pulled off the run-chase, it was the bowling heroics of Graham Wagg and Michael Hogan which ultimately paved the way for an incredible Glamorgan fightback.
Left-arm seamer Wagg (6-29) followed up the dismissals of Surrey openers Rory Burns and Graeme Smith the previous evening with four further scalps to claim career-best figures, while Hogan proved the perfect foil, finishing with 4-31.
Glamorgan head back to Wales with 20 points, while pre-season favourites Surrey gathered just five.

West Ham got back to winning ways with a 2-0 victory at Hull but manager Sam Allardyce is not resting on his laurels.
The Irons boss knows his squad needs bolstering as injuries threaten to derail his promotion plans, and he plans to use this week's international break to bring in some loan cover.
Gianfranco Zola was putting a brave face on things but the West Ham manager must be getting worried after his side was torn apart by a depleted Manchester United.
The Premier League champions could only field three recognised defenders, and lost two of those before the game finished, but still the Irons could barely muster a worthwhile effort on goal.
Millwall will be missing four key players for tonight's trip to Exeter City.
James Henry, Neil Harris and Gary Alexander are all ruled out with injuries for the long trip down to Devon as the Lions look to bounce back from Saturday's defeat by Wycombe.

But former England striker Martin Chivers believes the LA Galaxy player does not deserve to surpass Peter Shilton's 125 caps.

The "godfather of the kung-fu film," Chang Cheh, started a winning streak by making the internationally renowned The Five Venoms. He followed that hit with many more high-flying "bloody good" entertainments featuring the same cast in new roles. But of all the "Venom" movies, this one stands out as perhaps the most chilling. Masked killers are wreaking havoc and instilling terror with their vicious weapons of choice: razor-sharp, gut-shattering tridents. Only three fearless fighters dare investigate, leading to mass murder and magnificent martial arts.

PNC Park, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
The Pittsburgh Pirates have the best ERA in baseball despite Charlie Morton having a couple of rough outings recently.
He'll look to get back on track in a rematch with Miami Marlins starter Tom Koehler on Wednesday night as host Pittsburgh seeks an eighth victory in 10 games.NL Central-leading Pittsburgh (68-44) has a major league-best 3.07 ERA and is in position to lead the majors in that category for the first time since 1984. Its starters have posted a baseball-best 3.20 mark despite Morton (3-3, 4.07 ERA) going 2-2 with a 4.99 ERA over his last five outings.The right-hander allowed five runs and a season-worst 10 hits in six innings of a 13-0 loss to St. Louis on Thursday."He's working to improve the consistency and the tempo and the timing of his delivery," manager Clint Hurdle said. "It got a little whacked (Thursday) in the stretch, so there's room for improvement."Morton also didn't have his best stuff July 27 when he faced the Marlins, giving up four runs and nine hits in five innings, but he picked up a 7-4 victory. He's 3-3 with a 5.11 ERA in seven career starts versus Miami, which again counters with Koehler.Koehler (3-6, 4.34) gave up five runs and nine hits in five innings against Morton and suffered the loss. He bounced back, though, and scattered five hits in six innings of a 3-0 win over the New York Mets on Thursday."The key is really not to think about it too much," Koehler said. "You put up zeros against anybody who's pitching, your team tends to be in pretty good shape."The right-hander is 3-1 with a 3.18 ERA in his last six starts and will face a Pirates team coming off a dramatic victory after Josh Harrison's pinch-hit homer in the bottom of the ninth secured a 4-3 win in Tuesday's series opener."Those are little things that happen that make you go `Yeah, something's going on," Hurdle said of Harrison's homer and ensuing pie-to-the-face stunt from his teammates. "There's no doubt the more feel good you get, the more you feel good."Neil Walker went 3 for 4, and Andrew McCutchen had a two-run double as part of his fourth straight two-hit game. McCutchen is hitting .435 in his last seven versus the Marlins.Miami (43-68) has dropped three straight after blowing a three-run lead Tuesday. Donovan Solano went 3 for 5, and Logan Morrison, who is 9 for 17 over his last four, had an RBI single."We couldn't get that hit to give us a little breathing room," manager Mike Redmond said. "I get so tired of talking about the same old stuff. We've played that game right there I don't know how many times this season. We've been on the winning end of some but we've been on the losing end of many of them."The Marlins -- last in the majors in runs scored -- have scored three runs or fewer in six of their last seven games, but the starting rotation has a 1.90 ERA in that stretch. The bullpen, though, has allowed four runs and nine hits in six innings over their three-game losing streak.Pittsburgh has won four straight at home over Miami.Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

text: Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More One And One Give Me Liberty, And Give Me Dayton! by Andy Glockner Email Posted: Sun Mar. 10, 2013 (h/t @ESPN)The first true "Cinderella story" of this March emerged on Sunday afternoon when Liberty polished off a four-game run through the Big South tournament to claim an auto bid. The Flames finished the season at 15-20 and will enter the NCAAs as one of the worst teams (on paper) ever to make the field.Now, you can argue both sides of championship week and whether a team with Liberty's regular-season credentials deserves a chance to make the NCAA tournament, but there's no denying that the Flames earned their way in this week. They beat tournament host Coastal Carolina in the first round, and then followed that up by beating the three best teams in the league on the way to the auto bid. Also, the Big South appeared headed to the play-in round no matter which team advanced from its tournament, so gnashing teeth over the "worthiness" of this league's champ this season is overwrought. They'll get a national showcase a week from Tuesday or Wednesday and have a chance to earn the Big South an extra "win share" by taking the play-in game before meeting a 1-seed. And, hey, at least the Flames have a celebrity fan in their corner. ESPN's @samsteeleponder is a proud alum today. Promoted Stories Comments

The natural coastal vegetation at Bushy Beach Scenic Reserve is the last remaining in the area. Wind-sheared scrub, dominated by hebe, ngaio, mahoe and broadleaf, clings to the cliffs and shelters penguins, and other seabirds, and a variety of insects.
A unique flora and fauna exists here, because a number of native plants and insects are at either their southern or northern geographical limit.
The oldest known fossil remains of a tuatara in New Zealand were found here on this geologically fascinating headland.
Bushy Beach from viewing platform.
Bushy Beach Track overlooks the coastal scrub habitat of yellow-eyed penguin/hoiho, little penguin/kororā, sooty shearwater/tītī and shags. From a platform you can see New Zealand fur seals/kekeno on the rocks below. Carry on further to the hide to get the best viewing of penguins.
New Zealand sea lions and elephant seals are occassional visitors to this beach.
To avoid disturbing the penguins, keep off the beach at all times from November to March. Adult penguins return to feed their young at any time of the day.
You may access the beach between 9am and 3pm. Penguins cross the beach before 9am and after 3pm.
Cape Wanbrow is a mix of volcanic and sedimentary rock features that are internationally significant. Pillow lava surge deposits and volcaniclastic sediments and breccias form steep cliffs with rocky platforms below.
Near Oamaru, a coastal town located 427 km south of Christchurch, and 117 km north of Dunedin.
Turn off State Highway 1 at the historic city centre of Oamaru. Follow Tyne Street south up to South Hill. Near the top of the hill turn right onto Bushy Beach Road and follow to the end.
Wildlife viewing
Bushy Beach Track is 340 metres long and takes 5-10 minutes to walk to the viewing hide. The track is wheelchair accessible. The track zig-zags across the top of the cliff on the south side of Cape Wanbrow, but the tip of the cape is not accessible.
There is no on-site accommodation and camping is not permitted. A range of accommodation is available in Oamaru.
There are no toilet facilities at Bushy Beach.

Comprising largely of collage, in different forms, this new body of work by Rachel Lowe seeks to explore our relationship with, and our increasing reliance on, representational images of all kinds.

Read On...'People are always afraid of what they don't understand, but artists have to step into the void - the unknown. The unknown territory is where it's worth exploring.'
Oscillating between the abstract and the figurative, Banisadr's paintings feature fantastical landscapes populated with grotesque hybrids in a perpetual state of frenzy. These characters - conflations of animal, god, machine and human - are deftly captured in whirling, exuberant brushstrokes.
Read On...Who does all this and doesn't ask for thanks? Who is so gloriously, so powerfully happy in himself? What is his name? Ah, I know who it is. Sometimes I'd like this Kraus to punch me. But people like him, how could they punch? Kraus only wants what is right and good. That is no exaggeration at all. He never has bad intentions. His eyes are frighteningly kind. This person, what is he doing in a world that is meant and built for empty words, lies, and vanity?

His work is creating a new cultural situation from a new way of living. His actions, manifesto and almost invisible gestures are deeply related to the real world and change it progressively. Separating the past and remaking the future is his way of resisting totalitarianism.
Read On...In the face of the porosity of boundaries, Ziad Antar's discourse aims to inscribe itself in a dynamic interaction of places, cultures, memories and disciplines. These boundaries are always present in his photographs, videos and sculptures, yet how does he manage to address, through multiple back-and-forth movements, the outside space (public space) and the inside space (private space), past and present, otherness and identity?

The location is great - very old building, a lot of history. Food is decently cooked, but the choice is limited. Also serves as a very decent pub, and it has a great garden in the back, and a nice terrace in front - great for summer evenings!
Pub/Restaurant in traditional Dutch style with the friendliest staff you can imagine. Terraces in front, at the side and in the rear give you a choice for sun or shade. The whole inn gives the impression that you would not be surprised to see a stagecoach stopping to take on passengers. Not too complicated a menu but it's altered regularly... More
The Nest is a long-standing Rijswijk landmark, where staff treat the regulars like friends or even family! The food is good, the ambience is great, and the music is comfortable. Definitely the place to be come football-season!
This is the combination of a Dutch cafe (Bruin cafe) with a restaurant in the back in a somewhat historic building (dated 1702). The food is solid Dutch restaurant food. I particularly enjoyed the liver, it is not that easy to get well prepared liver anymore in restaurants. But they also serve many other more mainstream dishes.
Located near the Te Werve park this Dutch restaurant ofters a real Dutch experience. The staff speak little, but enough, English and there are no English menus. Don't let that stop you. Every dish on the menu is great. The kabeljauw - cod - is wonderful and the ribs never fail to please. The restaurant is in the back of... More

Remarkable, versatile fennel
It looks like a vegetable designed by Dr. Seuss and tastes like licorice.
Mark Thomson
Plymouth, Mass.
Fennel is one of those odd-looking vegetables that looks like it came out of a book by Dr. Seuss; flat and pale with a wrinkly bulb and feathery stalks that look like a stalk of celery with a bad hair day. Appearance aside, this Mediterranean product is going through somewhat of a Renaissance. Lately it's been making more TV appearances than Ryan Seacrest – on the Food Network, anyway.
And if you're familiar with this anise-flavored vegetable this is probably no surprise. If fennel is a stranger in your kitchen, it's time to introduce yourself. This remarkably versatile vegetable is at home in stews, as a boiled vegetable, in soups (it's an essential ingredient in a good bouillabaisse), salads, and grilled with fish. Sliced and served raw, it brings a refreshing crispness to nibble on before a meal. It adds an uncommon, slightly licorice flavor to whatever it touches.
The variety mostly sold in markets today is sweet, or Florentine, fennel. It is also sometimes sold under the name anise, although it has no relationship to that plant.
Fennel is available throughout the year except for summer. Look for firm white bulbs with bright green fronds. Avoid any bulbs with brown bruises, rot, or those trimmed of their feathery leaves. Fennel can be wrapped and stored in the refrigerator for several days. Freeze the leaves and use them to flavor chicken stock, chop them and add to soups, or add them to your coals when grilling fish. If you have a garden, try planting a crop for the finest fresh flavor.

Saffron and cumin add a lot of fragrance to traditional baked eggs. A very easy dish to make, and good for brunch as well as later meals.
- 1Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Toast cumin in a dry, medium- to large-sized skillet.
- 2Add vegetable oil, and cook onions over medium heat until soft, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and sprinkle in saffron and several pinches of salt. Cook, stirring, until mushy, about 5 minutes. Taste and add more salt if needed.
- 3Divide tomato mixture into 2 large ramekins. Top each ramekin with 2 eggs. Bake in oven for 15 minutes, until whites and yolk are set (alternatively, until the whites are set and the yolk is just slightly runny). Remove from oven, dust the top with a tiny bit of crushed saffron and salt. Cool for 5 minutes or so before serving.

It's a spybot and you should ban it.
I can't attest to the validity at the moment due to that IP Number timing out after running it thru CMD as a ping. SpamCop resolves it to Qwest. That's the best I can find.
However, if it is indeed Cyveillance's bot, then I'd have to disagree with the assessment of this being a bot in need of banning. At least from what it says above, which is a quote from www.cyveillance.com/web/solutions/unauth_dist.htm
For a site whose content is 100% above board, being visited by a bot of this nature should be no-problem.
Perhaps it's a perspective thing.
pendanticist, It has been discused here often. The decision is left to each webmaster to decide how their own resources are used.
Cyveillance collects a fee for it services while using your/my resources and bandwidth. Not compensating either of us in the process. It's no different than somebody deep-linking to your images or duplicating your pages. Not a hard concept to accept, no matter what your perspective is? Unless your a Cyveillance employee and host of other such bots employees?
Just so we don't get too far afield here. How is it that when I run the IP Number (the only data provided so far) thru SamSpade or SpamCop all I get is Qwest? I've not seen any kind of UA string posted, just an IP Number. See where I'm going here? Looking at this thread chronologically, that's all I see: a question about an IP Number and a response urging banning.
I think that's the concept of these type of bots. To find those who steal or otherwise infringe upon ones intellectual property rights (et., al.). Deep-Linking is an entirely different issue. Let's take a hypothetical: If your content was duplicated, how else would you expect to find the perpetrator (in a timely fashion), if not for using a bot? Wait for someone, or you to 'discover' that infringement? <-Rhetorical Questions.
I recognize that you have a differing opinion on this matter, yes.
Not sure if there's a question here, <shrug> but I'll address it anyway. For the record, not only am I unemployed, my domain doesn't even set cookies much less have anything to do with bots.
What I'm opposed to are blanket, categorically declarative statements that don't provide enough supportive information which would allow folks to make up their own minds, other that to say: ban it based soley on an IP Number.
One might argue those who have the most to hide, will take the strongest measures to hide what they have.
First I rarely use trace or ping. They don't provide enough information. A Whois/Arin Search results in: Qwest Communications NET-QWEST-BLKS-2 (NET-63-144-0-0-1) 18.104.22.168 - 126.96.36.199 Cyveillance QWEST-63-148-99-224 (NET-63-148-99-224-1) 18.104.22.168 - 126.96.36.199 end of quote. Quest is the backbone provider for Cy. This has been provided here before in this forum repeatedly. It can be found in the archive search.
So the Qwest "not sure" Cy connection is NOT valid.
I'd say you could use the IP filtering you mentioned, yes.
Keep in mind you can ban by IP in .htaccess too, if you have those capabilities. Individual host server services vary considerably.
As for robots.txt, I think you need bot names, not just IP Numbers.
In any case, here's a couple of good thread to get you started:
I stand better informed.
The concept of these bots is to use YOUR $$$ to be compensated by their customers for a service provided. It has nothing to do with the legitimacy of your content.
<snip2>Let's take a hypothetical: If your content was duplicated, how else would you expect to find the perpetrator (in a timely fashion), if not for using a bot? Wait for someone, or you to 'discover' that infringement? <-Rhetorical Questions.>
I surely wouldn't use services of CY. Instead I'd use my own method of accumaulating data and evidence from within my logs. It's obvious to me that you are not as adept at this as I.
I was being sarcastic. The result of my perception of your viewpoint.
In the beginning when I first began denying IP ranges I would use the lowest ranges possible from that probe. The result (over and again) was a return by the bot with a major spidering of something that should have been resolved by denying a larger IP range intially. EXPERIENCE and my kindness taught me otherwise. :-(
You own methods from within your logs? Please elaborate: How would you know I've copied your content from your logs? What logs are you referring to?
Be nice. :) Otherwise I might get the impression you're becoming condescending and I wouldn't want to think that.
LOL, you did it well, my friend. :)
Interesting concept, lower ranges I mean. Never thought of doing it that way.
The preception depends entirely on what side of the fence your standing on and the purpose and/or audience of your wesbite!
Sure. If a site hasn't pilfered anything, that site has nothing to hide, nor to protect from discovery. Such to say, If I had pilfered material residing on my site, I'd take measures to ban the bots that are out there seeking such pilferages too. Then again, noindex, nofollow might be a better way to go, eh?
That's exactly what I'm getting at.
There are three questions here. Although the first two are one in the same. The third question is visitor logs.
This could get complicated and extend very fast outside the paramters of this forum. However I'll attempt to provide a parallel using WIDGETS :-)
My interest is in Bwidgets. Six plus years ago my internet activity began in a very large (500+ participant) email forum on Bwidgets. Three plus years ago I created my own email forums. Then a few months afterwards websites to support those newly created forums and add better depth to Bwidgets on the entire internet. The overall goal is two-fold. This process is to create a domination of the Bwidget "internet" market. Not in the production of Bwidgets instead services to Bwidgets on the internet. While providing resources and promotion of the Bwidget market for its very narrow users.
The Bwiget market is very narrow. It requires extensive knolwege about most every Bwiget on the internet. As it should be. Keeping abrest of every new Bwidget site or product on the internet is gained from chasing down many things/leads. Among those sources are the referring pages, referring searches (by perhaps adding some keywords the user omitted,) and the previously mentioned email forums.
It's a very simple task to inject typographical errors in content which only I would be aware of.
In summary there is not much that goes on in the Bwidget internet world that I'm not aware of. All these tools together provide the necessary insight.
Why are Bwidgets any different from Widgets and Swidegts?
Aren't all webmasters regardless of their product looking to narrow the internet to their particular market share rather the entire internet?
Look, you're basing your opinion on an assumption that all webmasters own commercial sites.
I think now would be a good time to agree to disagree and put this issue to bed. That's what I'm doing.
Cyveillance can also be hired by your competitors to spy on you. Their bots do not identify who they are and they do not follow robots.txt. They try to evade attention furthur by leasing IP blocks that will not resolve back to them. They will eat up your bandwidth and leave you with the bill. You have absolutely zero to gain from allowing them to spider your site.
So, who else besides pendanticist thinks this is a "good bot to have visit"?
See the bold text above?
If you'da said all that in your initial response much of this could have been avoided. As with anything in life, the more information one has the better informed one can be. Capish?
A whois lookup on the address says "Cyveillance QWEST-63-148-99-224 ...".
I don't care much about Cyveillance. It just got banned here due to its antisocial behavior. I don't have to hide anything on my sites, but I don't like aggressive, rude and ignorant bots (aka bad bots) eating up my bandwidth and my paid traffic. We all really don't need this.
Why? Because I wrote it or is it because you researched Cyveillance on your own and came to the same conclusion?
Is there going to be a point to this?
This is an easy one for me... Respect robots.txt, or eat a 403! (carfac loves it when I say that.)
Cyveillance is a pain in the bandwidth... They come back too often, disregard robots.txt, ban themselves by requesting bad-bot trap files, and use bandwidth that I pay for to do all this mickey-mouse and sell the results to their clients. Even if they didn't pester my logs so often, I'd ban them because their 'bot is so badly written - I got tired of all the "pollution" they injected in my error logs.
Anyone who wants to search my site for infringment of their copyrighted material or intellectual property is welcome to do so - Using a browser and a search engine. May I recommend Google? We're quite well-indexed. :)
This is one of the worst kinds of reasoning I have ever heard. While it is widely accepted in the general public (which is quite amazing since this is a reasoning employed by totalitarian systems1) the courts haven�t followed that stressing privacy instead.
You do not need to have anything to hide to stress and enforce your privacy rights.
If any organisation wants to engage in covert collection of website information, then they should do it properly and not in a half baked manner :-). I don't have any IPR to hide, but I do have a limited bandwidth budget to manage.
If you search for cyveillance, you will find an article in a popular business magazine with the title "Helping to Keep the Web Honest". This is hypocritical.

Why American Railcar (ARII) Stock Is Surging Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of American Railcar Industries, Inc. (ARII - Get Report) are up 4.46% to $70.71 after it was reported that the U.S. government wants to phase out thousands of railroad tank cars that carry crude oil and ethanol within two years, as part of proposed rules to upgrade safety for trains carrying flammable fuels, the Wall Street Journal reports
Tens of thousands of these older DOT-111 tank cars will have to be replaced or retrofitted under the proposed rules, announced today, the Journal noted.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite Growth Stocks
TheStreet Ratings team rates AMERICAN RAILCAR INDS INC as a Buy with a ratings score of A. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate AMERICAN RAILCAR INDS INC (ARII) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and notable return on equity. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 96.01% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, ARII should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- AMERICAN RAILCAR INDS INC has improved earnings per share by 15.5% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, AMERICAN RAILCAR INDS INC increased its bottom line by earning $4.07 versus $2.99 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($4.48 versus $4.07).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Machinery industry average. The net income increased by 15.8% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, going from $17.94 million to $20.77 million.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is somewhat low, currently at 0.71, and is less than that of the industry average, implying that there has been a relatively successful effort in the management of debt levels. To add to this, ARII has a quick ratio of 2.10, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Machinery industry and the overall market, AMERICAN RAILCAR INDS INC's return on equity exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

It is also the home of Ontario Mills and former home of the Ontario Motor Speedway. It takes its name from the Ontario Model Colony development established in 1882 by the Canadian engineer George Chaffey and his brothers William Chaffey and Charles Chaffey. They named the settlement after their home province of Ontario, Canada. [more on Wikipedia]

If you Think Naruto , Attack on Titans and One Piece is less than this shit you have no taste at all , and FYI I watched this anime from the beginning and decided to drop it now because it had potential to become as good as Toriko with a 100 or so episodes, but since they decided to finish it before that , they are telling me to eat shit.

Top Answers To Venice Travel Questions
blreyes answered:You can do a day trip to Lido di Jesolo if it's the summertime and it's just a boat ride from Venice. Or if you have a car, I suggest visiting the Euganei Hills which are 30 minutes outside Padua for some nice hiking and eating at farm restaurants.
Brenda answered:Take the train. The European train system is fantastic. Consult Rick Steves guides for best information.
What about the Lido, an 11-mile-long sandbar that's home to about 20,000 residents? It's a 15-minute ferry ride from Venice proper, plus you can catch ferries to the airport and places like Murano. My wife and I stayed here while visiting Venice in November several years ago; accommodations are cheaper here than on Venice, plus you get a nice view of all the historic buildings and churches as you ride the "Vaporetto" (aka, water bus) each morning. The Lido is also the venue for the Venice Film Festival each September, plus has a touristy beach area that's popular in summer.
Answer this2 AnswersLove2Travel answered:My favorite place is Rafaellos--it is ja small restaurant located off the grand canal on a side canal--if you walk away from the entrance to the church in San Marco piazza and go straight through the archway opposite the church, you stay along that walkway past the Hotel Bauer and many other smaller hotels and it is just before you cross a bridge. They have excellent house wine and good pasta at reasonable prices. They have my favorite dessert--Tartufo as well as Tiramisu.
