New Harry Potter Story Contains Hidden Secrets?
By Ben Mekler on July 8, 2014
Hello, muggles, and welcome to an absolutely magical episode of Nerdist News!
On today's show, we're breaking down a brand-new Harry Potter story from none other than J.K. Rowling herself, and investigating what it might tell us about the future of the Wizarding World – PLUS our very own Malik Forte drops by to preview Gearbox's new MOBA, Battleborn! It's almost as exciting as the Quidditch World Cup.
Enjoy today's show, come on back for another tomorrow, and let us know in the comments below whether you're more pumped for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them or the possibility of more adventures with Dumbledore's Army!
Oh, and whatever you do DO NOT forget to check out Jessica, Malik, Dan, Kyle, and the DC All Access team competing in the Injustice World Cup!
Come on Nerdist. Rolf Scamander is Newt Scamander's GRANDSON.
What do you expect Aja? They get excited over an ugly, ugly game due out in 2 years and Jessica Chobot is still doing the news. PUKE.
The only new bit of Potter news is the scar thing. The rest has been long revealed by Rowling in previous interviews. Also, Pottermore is free and had the original posting. Why shout out Today. Surely, someone at the Nerdist has a Pottermore account???
Chroma-key only works when the director turns it on.How about an HBO weeks Hogwarts series, "Wizard In the House"?
I think all three would be great. But when making a plot you need a villain (of some sort) in mind and how many villains can she come up with for such stories? For instance what kind of villain could she make for the kids that wouldn't make it into an ABC Family special?
[…] Check out the extended ver. of today's episode: http://www.nerdist.com/vepisode/new-harry-potter-story-contains-hidden-secrets/ […]
I really want a Prequel about the marauders!
You start the article with "hello, muggles" in an assumption that were all muggles…
*we're. Oops.

The place takes its name and design from urban, graffiti-like influences such as recycled street signs and old Latin concert posters. They are artistically integrated into an outdoor bar and seating area, and blend into a similarly flavored interior. Latin music and a crowd of young professionals fill the space as the sounds of their Argentine, Venezuelan, Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Chilean-inflected Spanish fills the air.

Read More The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas was written in 1933 by Gertrude Stein in the guise of an autobiography authored by Alice B. Toklas, who was her lover. It is a fascinating insight into the art scene in Paris as the couple were friends with Paul Cezanne, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. They begin the war years in England but return to France, volunteering for the American Fund for the French Wounded, driving around France, helping the wounded and homeless. After the war Gertrude has an argument with T. S. Eliot after he finds one of her writings inappropriate. They become friends with Sherwood Anderson and Ernest Hemingway. It was written to make money and was indeed a commercial success. However, it attracted criticism, especially from those who appeared in the book and didn't like the way they were depicted. Read Less

I do have a confession to make regarding Gertrude Stein. You may not know this but the woman is a genius. Why you may ask? Because she tells us this over and over and over again in the book. I do have to admit that at first I had to suppress the urge to shred this book/autobiography/memoir to shreds. I grew immensely jaded reading the raw prose with not a hint of of emotion throughout.Thankfully, I eventually saw the light. It finally clicked.Gertrude Stein was a woman in the time of Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Picasso, Matisse, Ezra Pound and T.S.Eliot. Quite simply she needed to stand out as a literary figure. Historians would later call this artistic time period the Roarin' Twenties. Stein needed a way to disconnect with other prominent figures and still remain in the literary circle. She did this by well executing this book.Though "seemingly" told through the perspective of her partner Alice B. Toklas, truly we are hearing Stein's. Her memories of meeting fascinating artists and writers in Paris are mind boggling. She adores the Parisian culture but also loves to be an American. Stein is very clever with how she formulates sentences in this book. She remarks on more than one occasion her obsession with the English language. Specifically the use of sounds. She begins to - paint - a novel with her words. Like the artist Picasso, who she is most fascinated with, her novel begins to paint a sort of cubist realism. There is no fluff here. And despite the very limited way she describes characters we eventually begin to see a full picture of them through Toklas/Stein's written words. Her words in way merge words, ideas, sounds, and create art.We also see how certain artists inspire other artists. Picasso and Matisse were inspired by African art but they made in into their own by what they created. Picasso, upon seeing a camouflaged cannon, remarked to Stein that THEY created this. Artists created this perception of hiding something within plain sight.Stein discusses nationalism constantly. She remarks on many occasions that Spaniards and Americans can understand one another because they can "realize abstraction." The americans do this with machinery and literature, and the spaniards with the ritualistic bullfighting and bloodshed. In that way, both are also abstract and cruel. She also hashes it out with germans, parisians, italians, polish, etc. She categorizes people and their personality traits by their national identity.I really enjoyed that everyone came to her villa, that she shared with Tolkas, and asked for her advice on their literary work. She inspired much reverence by her companions and peers.This by far is one of her more readable and enjoyable books. My advice is to go in with an open mind and truly appreciate her genius for what it is. I came in with stubborn intentions and almost missed out on a fantastic work of art.

What was it about early 20th C.painters, writers, musicians, philosophers, performers in Paris? Why did they captivate Gertrude Stein's attention? What was it about Picasso, Matisse etc. that prompted Stein and her brother to be earliest collectors of the groundbreaking art which defined achievements of American artists in the twentieth century? This rambling account is filled with insights suggesting what caught the attention of American artists, writers and led them to Gertrude Stein. Fascinating details of the social lives lived in and out of the Gertrude Stein salon, perspective on Stein, Toklas, and friends' contribution to World War I war effort in England, France and particularly Paris.The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas details a wholly creative time in Paris, describing some of the most daily routines in the twenty-five year span covered--like feeding Matisse fried eggs instead of a souffle when he commits, in the cook housekeeper's eyes, a faux pas. Since he is French, she maintained to Toklas and Stein, he would understand the full significance of this. Descriptions of Montmartre parties, teas, discussions, art events, artist rivalries and disagreement suggesting to today's Paris visitor topoics to further study and explore as no guide book could.

Perfect highlight beautiful golden glow that works with both cool and warm colors without being too frosty or shimmery. Yes its $26 but it lasts forever ive had mine for almost 2 years and the pan in nowhere in sight.
I cant tell you how much I love this! I use it as a highlighter and eyeshadow. It looks great swept over cheekbones, chest, and nose. I use it under my eyes to make them look more awake, and on my upper lip to highlight my cupids bow. Its has soft golden pearl finish that is so flattering on all skin tones. Its very universal and gives me a perfect glowing finish. The formula is very silky and blendable. Would definitely recommend, you cant go wrong with this stuff.
One swatch and you will fall in love! It is the prettiest golden, light highlighter. I have only used it as a highlighter for my cheek bones and I apply some to the tip of my nose and so forth, and it is beautiful! I think everyone should have this!
I am in love with this powder now, and I just got it a couple of weeks ago. It is the perfect color - light, a little golden. I use it on the brow bone every time I apply eyeshadow, except for if I am doing a purple or cool brown look. I used to use MAC Shroom or Urban Decay Sin as a highlight most of the time, but that has definitely changed. I've also used it to highlight above my lip, and that worked out nicely as well. This is my first NARS product, too... and I think I will try out more.
Wow...although I've heard so much about this highlighter and watched YouTubers using it for some time now, I was still shocked at the beauty of it when I applied it to my face. As a dark complexion girl the brightness while in the compact can be a shocker but after the first stroke I was sold on this product. I don't consider it for everyday use but it definitly amps up my look!

More reviews by VictrixObsequens
Pros: GREAT highlighter for brows, nose, cheekbones, anything. The quality is amazing and a little goes a long way. Compact comes with a mirror. The compact is also high quality.
Cons: Expensive.
Buy again? Definitely :)
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! I agree with the post below me...hands down the best highlighting powder. It gives a nice gold sheen when applied and is very buildable. I use it to highlight my cheekbones and down my nose to make it look slimmer. It doesn't look super obvious but it makes a HUGE difference. If you want to look like you're walking around with your own lighting crew, run, don't walk, to your nearest NARS counter. The price is steep but it is definitely worth it.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Hands down the BEST highlighter. There's nothing more I can add that hasn't been said. It's perfect for my golden medium skin but I would imagine that it would work for everyone. Love it!

SS Sultana
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The steamboat Sultana was a Mississippi River paddlewheeler destroyed in an explosion on 27 April 1865. This resulted in the greatest maritime disaster in United States history. An estimated 1,800 of the 2,400 passengers were killed when one of the ship's four boilers exploded and the Sultana sank not far from Memphis, Tennessee.[1] This disaster received somewhat diminished attention as it took place soon after the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln and during the closing weeks of the Civil War.
Contents |
The Sultana
The wooden steamship was constructed in 1863 by the John Lithoberry Shipyard on Front Street in Cincinnati, Ohio, and intended for the lower Mississippi cotton trade. Weighing 1,719 tons, the steamer normally carried a crew of 85. For two years, the Sultana ran a regular route between St. Louis and New Orleans. The steamship was frequently commissioned by the War Department to carry troops.
The tragedy
Under the command of Captain J.C. Mason of St. Louis, the Sultana left New Orleans on April 21, 1865, with 75 to 100 cabin passengers, deck passengers, and numerous heads of livestock bound for market in St. Louis. At Vicksburg, Mississippi, the steamship stopped for a series of hasty repairs to the boilers and to take on more passengers. Rather than have a bad boiler replaced, a small patch repair was made to reinforce a leaking area. A section of bulged boiler plate was removed, and a patch of less thickness than the parent plate was riveted in its place.[2] This repair only took about a day, whereas to replace the boiler completely would have taken about three days. During the Sultana's time in port, men tried to muscle, bribe, and threaten their way on board, until the ship was bursting at the seams with soldiers. More than two thousand men crowded aboard.
Most of the new passengers were Union soldiers, chiefly from Ohio and just released from Confederate prison camps such as Cahawba and Andersonville. The US government had contracted with the Sultana to transport these former prisoners of war back to their homes. With a legal capacity of only 376, the Sultana was severely overcrowded. Many of Sultana's passengers had been weakened by their incarceration and associated illnesses. Passengers were packed into every available berth, and the overflow was so severe that the decks were completely packed.
The cause of the explosion was a leaky and poorly repaired steam boiler. There was reason to believe allowable working steam pressure was exceeded attempting to overcome the spring river current.[2] The boiler (or "boilers") gave way when the steamer was about 7 to 9 miles north of Memphis at 2:00 am.[3] There was a terrific explosion that sent some of the passengers on deck into the water while destroying a good portion of the ship. Hot coals scattered by the explosion soon turned the remaining superstructure into an inferno, the glare of which could be seen in Memphis. [4]
The first boat on the scene at about 3:00 A.M. (an hour after the explosion) was the southbound steamer Bostonia II[5] which overtook the burning wreck and rescued scores of survivors. The hulk drifted to the west bank and sank about dawn off the tiny settlement of Mound City, Arkansas. Other vessels joined the rescue, including the steamer Arkansas, the Jenny Lind, the Essex, and the Navy sidewheel gunboat USS Tyler, manned by volunteers. The ship's regular crew had been discharged days before. [4]
Passengers who survived the initial explosion had to risk their lives in the icy spring runoff of the Mississippi or burn with the ship.[2] Many died of drowning or hypothermia. Some survivors were plucked from trees along the Arkansas shore. Bodies of victims continued to be found downriver for months, some as far as Vicksburg. Many bodies were never recovered. The Sultana's officers, including Captain Mason, were among those who perished.[4]
About 500 survivors, many with horrible burns, were transported to hospitals in Memphis. Up to 300 of them died later from burns or exposure. Newspaper accounts indicate that the people of Memphis had sympathy for the victims despite the fact that they had recently been enemies. The Chicago Opera Troupe staged a benefit, the crew of the Essex raised $1,000, and the mayor took in three survivors.[4]
Monuments and historical markers to the Sultana and its victims have been erected at Memphis, Tennessee; Muncie, Indiana; Marion, Arkansas; Vicksburg, Mississippi; Cincinnati, Ohio; Knoxville, Tennessee; Hillsdale, Michigan; and Mansfield, Ohio.
No exact death toll is known. Estimates range from 1,300 to 1,900. The official count by the United States Customs Service was 1,547. Modern historians[who?] tend to concur on a figure of "up to 1,800". Final estimates of survivors were between 700-800. Many of the dead were interred at the Memphis National Cemetery.
The official cause of the Sultana disaster was determined to be mismanagement of water levels in the boiler, exacerbated by "careening." The Sultana was severely overcrowded and top heavy. As the steamship made its way north following the twists and turns of the river, the Sultana listed severely to one side then the other. The Sultana's four boilers were interconnected and mounted side-by-side, so that if the ship tipped sideways, water would tend to run out of the highest boiler. With the fires still going against the empty boiler, this created hot spots. When the ship tipped the other way, water rushing back into the empty boiler would hit the hot spots and flash instantly to steam, creating a sudden surge in pressure. This effect of careening could have been minimized by maintaining high water levels in the boilers. The official inquiry found that Sultana 's boilers exploded due to the combined effects of careening, low water level, and a faulty repair to a leaky boiler made a few days earlier.
In 1888, a St. Louis resident named William Streetor claimed that his former business partner, Robert Louden, made a deathbed confession of having sabotaged the Sultana by a coal torpedo.[6] Louden was a former Confederate agent and saboteur who operated in and around St. Louis. Louden had the opportunity and motive to attack the Sultana. He may have had access to the means. (Thomas Edgeworth Courtenay, the inventor of the coal torpedo, was a former resident of St. Louis and was involved in similar acts of sabotage against Union shipping interests.) Supporting Louden's claim are eyewitness reports that a piece of artillery shell was observed in the wreckage. Louden's claim is controversial, however, and most scholars support the official explanation.[7][8]
An East Tennessee Sultana survivors' group met annually on April 27 until 1928, when four survivors were left. [4]
Remnants found
In 1982, a local archaeological expedition uncovered what was believed to be the wreckage of the Sultana. Blackened wooden deck planks and timbers were found about 32 feet under a soybean field on the Arkansas side, about four miles from Memphis. The Mississippi River has changed course several times since the disaster. The main channel now flows about two miles east of its 1865 position. [4]
Jay Farrar of the band Son Volt wrote a song called "Sultana" which pays tribute to the "the worst American disaster of the maritime." Farrar calls the ship the "the Titanic of the Mississippi" in the song which can be found on the "American Central Dust" album.[9]
Cory Branan of Memphis, TN (now living in Austin, TX) is known to perform an original song titled "The Wreck of the Sultana". Videos of this are available on YouTube.
The Norwegian group Titanic had a hit in 1971 with an instrumental called Sultana.
The J. Mack Gamble Fund of the Sons and Daughters of Pioneer Rivermen and the Friends and Descendants of the Sultana sponsored a mural entitled The Sultana Departs from Vicksburg as one of the Vickburg Riverfront Murals. It was dedicated on April 9, 2005.[10]

Israeli Election Study, 2006 (ICPSR 20221)
Principal Investigator(s): Arian, Asher, Haifa University; Shamir, Michal, Tel-Aviv University
This study is one in a series of election studies conducted since 1969 by Arian and Shamir, investigating voting patterns, public opinion, and political participation in Israel. This study in particular was conducted during February-April 2006, prior to the elections of the 17th Knesset. Respondents provided their opinions on the general condition of Israel, handling of national issues, and the main problem facing the Israeli government. Views were also elicited from respondents in regard to the development of a peace agreement with the Palestinians to end the Arab-Israeli conflict, evaluation of Arab aspirations, and values in the possible development of the State of Israel. Respondents answered a set of questions regarding their support for the Kadima Party, the Labor Party, the Likud Party, and other political parties, their support for Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Defense Minister Amir Peretz, Likud Party Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu, and other political leaders, and several combinations of political coalitions. They also gave their views on issues such as Jerusalem, terrorism, economics including their personal situation, social policy, foreign and security matters, state-religion relations, the positions of political parties, attributes of political parties and leaders, and factors that would affect voting decisions. Respondents were asked about media access, their participation in political discussion, their ability to influence government policy, their voting intention, their prediction of the results of the upcoming elections among political parties and coalitions, to provide an account of their past electoral behavior, and to answer knowledge questions about the government. Demographic questions asked of respondents included gender, age, self-definition of identity, religion, birthplace, immigration, residence, education, employment, monthly family expenditures, household characteristics, and left-right political self-placement.

Definition of black gold in English:
North American informal Petroleum.
Example sentences
- Palm oil production, fish, and now black gold and natural gas are major resources, as is education.
- The next big attack came in 1991, when they destroyed the country's capacity to export black gold - 'oil, that is' - to Tokyo.
- It is worth noting that the shelf of the Arctic seas washing the Russian coast concentrates up to 80 percent of all of the country's oil reserves, which is five times the reserves of black gold on the Arabian Peninsula.

Oklahoma St 59
(19-8, 7-6 Big 12)
(21) Texas 69

Oklahoma St: J. Anderson 14 Pts, 6 Reb, 1 Ast
Texas: D. James 19 Pts, 7 Reb, 1 Ast, 2 Stl, 1 Blk
It's too late for Texas to make a push for a Big 12 regular-season championship, and now it must use the stretch run getting used to a new rotation.
With a significant loss to the backcourt adding to their recent woes, the 21st-ranked Longhorns look for back-to-back victories for the first time since mid-January on Wednesday when they host Oklahoma State.Second to Kansas in the Big 12 coaches' preseason poll, Texas (21-6, 7-5) lost any chance for a regular-season conference title by losing six of nine following its 17-0 start. The top-ranked Jayhawks, meanwhile, are undefeated in conference play and already have clinched at least a share of their sixth straight Big 12 regular-season crown.Despite a 71-67 victory at Texas Tech on Saturday, Texas suffered a major setback when starter Dogus Balbay, leading the team with 3.9 assists per game and third with 35 steals, tore his left ACL. The loss of the junior point guard could mean more playing time for freshman J'Covan Brown, who played only five minutes off the bench Saturday after starting the previous two games.Guards Avery Bradley and Justin Mason each played 38 minutes against Texas Tech, but combined to go 7 of 25 from the field.With plenty of questions in the backcourt, the Longhorns are focused on re-establishing their inside game, which keyed them climbing to No. 1 in the country a month ago."(Our post play is) what got us to a point in the season where we were undefeated," junior forward Gary Johnson said Saturday after scoring a career-high 22 points with eight rebounds. "We just got to get back to that point."Texas averaged 87.2 points on 49.4 percent shooting during its undefeated start, but is scoring 75.8 per game and hitting 43.8 percent in the last 10 games.The Longhorns, the Big 12's top rebounding team with 43.6 per game, outrebounded their opponents by an average of 9.2 in their first 17 games. That advantage has been trimmed to 4.0 per game in the last five weeks.While Texas has failed to string together consecutive victories since its 17-0 start, senior forward Damion James has been a consistent force. James, the Big 12's all-time leading rebounder with 1,260, is averaging a team-high 17.6 points and a conference-best 10.8 boards.He was limited to 14 points and six rebounds at Oklahoma State (19-7, 7-5) on Feb. 1, but freshman guard Jordan Hamilton recorded season highs with five 3-pointers and 27 points in Texas' 70-62 victory.The Longhorns won for the seventh time in eight meetings despite 28 points from James Anderson, who averages a conference-best 22.8 per game. He scored 35 in the Cowboys' last visit to Austin and their fifth consecutive loss there, 99-74 on Feb. 10, 2009.Anderson and sophomore guard Keiton Page each had five 3-pointers Saturday as Oklahoma State won its third straight, 82-75 over then-No. 22 Baylor.The Cowboys are 10th in the Big 12 in 3-point percentage (35.0), but they have made 40 of 83 during their winning streak."... We shoot a lot of 3s and if they're there, we're going to take them," Anderson said Saturday after matching a season high with 31 points.Oklahoma State missed 14 of 18 from 3-point range in the Feb. 1 loss to Texas. The Longhorns are first in the Big 12 in 3-point defense at 29.9 percent.Page is averaging 20.3 points and 3.8 3-pointers in the last four games.SPONSORED HEADLINES

Review: ColorBox provides dozens of composition options
Choose from numerous colors and drawing implements to bring your imagination to life.
ColorBox is an ambitious app with a huge collection of writing implements, but without animations, a clearly-labeled interface or menus, it is unnecessarily hard to use. What ColorBox does well is to create a tool in which you can write nearly anything in any style or color you want, which for many people will be enough to overlook the glaring omissions in the app.
When you first open ColorBox, you can see at a glance just how many options there are. Tap any of the tabs on the left side of the screen and you can choose from one of dozens of colored pencils, pens, and other writing implements, each with a different thickness and color. The effect is no different from a radius slider and color wheel, but it is a lot more fun to look at. However, without menus on any of the pencils or pens, no animations when you tap them to know which you have selected, and a rash of different buttons and menus that are also not labeled, the app is hard to navigate in a number of different ways.
ColorBox is designed to provide a tactile digital writing and drawing interface. In some ways it works exactly as intended, but with a poorly designed interface, few tools for sharing or saving your work, and little organization, the app just doesn't have enough to recommend it over one of the many free alternatives on the app store.

...to one and all! Let's hope 2015 turns out to be a good'un.
17 Dec 2014 : Makeover #
flypig.co.uk has had a style makeover to make it a bit cleaner. It's just a fresh layer of CSS so it's easy to switch back if the change is too painful. There are also some swively social icons on the homepage now too. If you notice any problems with the redesign (I wasn't able to check it on iOS or Android) please let me know.

This version allows you to export function animations as a series of PNG frames. It also allows models to be exported in Simple Voxel SVX format which is unusual since it outputs as a volume rather than a surface and can be used to upload models to Shapeways for 3D printing, like this. There are also some UI improvements, like a progress bar for long exports, and some info/documentation options. Installers and source are available from the Functy site or Sourceforge.

In "Marketing your SMB with Time & Elbow Grease," I explained that I'm committing to a series of articles for Little Biz that will give actionable advice on how to improve your rankings or revenue from search with no dollar investments -- aside from the time it takes to research and implement these changes.
Because you demanded it, today we'll discuss how to obtain a strong inbound link profile without spending any dollars out of your budget. Link building like this definitely takes time, so we're not talking completely free -- just no out-of-pocket money involved.
These tactics can work for the smallest of sites and have nice benefits. First, some things to remember:
- Not every link will become a Google backlink.
- Not every link will make you move up one ranking.
- I don't know how many links it takes to be number one.
- Every little bit of conscious effort helps.
Have Something Worth Linking To
Nobody wants a link from someone who has horrible, irrelevant content on their Web site. You can request a link, request a link exchange, or post a blog comment, but if the person in charge of approving that link doesn't think your site is decent, you aren't going to get it.
The first step in finding good links actually started a while ago when you got to work writing great content . If you haven't done that yet, what are you waiting for?
Don't be Afraid to Copy Your Top Competitors
Start link building without a budget by scoping out the top ranking sites for the best keyword phrases you can find for your products or services. Review all of their incoming links using Yahoo Site Explorer and mark any they do have that you don't have.
Next, parse through those links and find ones that can be obtained for free. It can be as simple as making a comment on a blog post or exchanging a link with a relevant business.
Blog Comments
Many bloggers allow those who post comments to have a link back to their site. This is a great way to contribute to your niche community as a whole and, in some cases, obtain a nice link back to your own Web site.
Here are some tips for commenting on blogs:
- Don't put a keyword phrase as you name. I delete these, every time! You're a person, and I highly doubt your real name is Buy Viagra Online, so don't leave that as your name in the name box. Yes, anchor text links are fine. But if the comment gets deleted, you didn't get the link -- and you wasted time submitting the comment.
- Leave a meaningful comment. Don't say "nice post" or "I found this very useful." Why did you find it useful? What can you add to the conversation?
- Provide a link back to relevant content on your site that supports the content in the blog post, or as closely as you can.
Sponsorships, Volunteerism, Partnerships
Many nonprofit organizations have a Web site and they love having volunteers. Next time you do some work for your local charity walk or fundraiser, see if they have a links page on their Web site. This may not be 100-percent relevant, but if you volunteer in your business's name, maybe they'll have a page that lists the volunteers with links. Don't volunteer only to get links, though. Have some fun, too.
Relevant Link Exchanges
I like link exchanges, especially if you're exchanging with a product or service that can provide direct benefit to your Web site users. Are you a plumber that recommends a certain type of furnace or A/C unit? See if that company will agree to link to your site -- and offer them a link in exchange. You're adding value, "playing within your own neighborhood" and getting some nice relevant links in the process.
You should limit how many reciprocal links you have. One hundred percent is definitely too much; 50 percent is probably too much; but less than 40 percent is probably just fine.
These tips take elbow grease and time, but no dollar investments. What you put into the process is directly related to what you receive back.
Don't forget to be genuine, thoughtful, and above all honest in what you're doing. Yes, you may be leaving a comment on a blog for a link. But if you're thoughtful and contributory in your answer, you're giving something in return.
Join us for Search Engine Strategies New York March 23-27 at the Hilton New York. The only major search marketing conference and expo on the East Coast, SES New York will be packed with more than 70 sessions, plus more than 150 exhibitors, networking events, parties, and training days.

Kat Nouri recently wrote to me about her new business, Modern-twist, a collaboration between Kat and independent designers (mostly from the west coast) like Amy Ruppel, Le Vu from Paper*Ink Studio, Sheila Metcalf Tobin, and Simone Rubi. If you plan on attending the NYIGF this month, they'll be in Hand-made booth #5532.
My favorites are the VTB tabs (right column above) because they arrive in this great holder that snaps onto a wine bottle (fun and clever gift), and each holder contains six 'ID' rings for a glass stem where you can write on, and wipe off. They also double as napkin rings. (I bet the HWTM is drooling over these right now. They are *so* her.)
Another product I can see myself using is a Modern-twist table runner. I am very pleased to see these in polyurethane – no washing or ironing, and no stressing if a splash of wine or olive oil lands on them. Just wipe and move on with the party. Very Lo-Mai (Low maintenance). Cute coasters are also available, although I prefer mine with more of a 'grip' to them (like cork or at least with cork or rubber feet) because they hold the glass better for times when someone bumps the table, but that's just my opinion.
The runners and placemats, along with the VTB tabs, are my picks. These aren't available online yet, and so far it doesn't look like they are in stores, so tell all your friends with a storefront to check out Modern-twist. I'm already thinking about Lekker in Boston (perfect fit) and Figments in Providence… Spread the news to modern home stores in your city, and thanks for writing in, Kat!
Psst: Be sure to check out these prints over at Paper*Ink while you're surfing the links above. Inspired by the San Francisco Botanical Garden, her prints are hand silk screened in bold red and blue.

While doing my daily internet loop I read some poems at Poetry Soup Some souls were bared Emotions shared By a wonderfully talented group So many unknowns are gathered together Brandishing their talents without a tether Notable skills From gifted quills Flocking together like birds of a feather Whether mundane or totally bizarre Through words they express just who they are Some young, some old Some shy, some bold Each as marvelous as a shooting star To the nameless owners of this great site Thank you for giving our poetry flight No longer adrift Because of your gift You are the beacon that brings us to light

There's a peach of a girl named P.D. Who is a friend of both you and me She's gone away I already miss her today Her kind words and Queen Slam poetry *If you find another sad limerick let me know*
There once were two people online Through e-mail their lives intertwined They swore in each letter That they'd get together Neither one knowing what they would find So one day when both had the chance To see under what circumstance They would think of each other Be it friend, be it lover Either way it'd be one heck of a dance So the one went to the other's town To see which emotion is found But they must grow a bond Before taking love on Even buildings are built from the ground The first day they soaked up some sun Followed by dinner and fun There was no stopping Their bar-to-bar hopping both drunk by the time they were done They ended up at his hotel "One more drink", she had said, "that sounds swell". But the kissing, caressing Led to them undressing Ignoring their White Zinfindel They woke the next morning perplexed The ache in their heads had them vexed They both had enjoyed What they tried to avoid Neither knowing what they should do next So neither one spoke of last night And both were nervous and uptight But it would be a shame to be pointing the blame at what at the time seemed so right But knowing it couldn't be ignored They talked and their feelings were poured They both felt confused And a little bit used But it was something they both could afford When the trip came to an end They enjoyed the time they did spend With a kiss and a sigh they both said goodbye And to this day remain closest friends

I search for happiness But never found it again Though it will be pursued It will never be attain I got lost a long time ago And I give my heart away It's been broken to badly It didn't mend up till today She left me alone in the dark Didn't wait to see if I was alive alone i suffered everyday waiting For peace of mind to arrive And it never did came I would lookout the window Asking god to please help me And just make my misery go But the goodness in life Has turns his back on me And left me stuck in a time To suffer for eternity Why she walk out the hospital Why couldn't she see my pain? Didn't she care that she might? Never see me alive again Now I'm scared for forever Domed to face the world alone Never will find a resting heart And for ever my soul will roam My heart is empty But fill with love to give But who is going to love me A man who's badly defective So the long road of life I must travel without love I know my mother loves me That the only love, I'm sure off I wish to find love again But afraid to get rejected Then my heart will be broken And die when it gets infected Right now I love some one And keep it secret And talk to her everyday But will never reveal it Will always keep her in my heart But can never have her in my life And I know one day I will die If she becomes another one's wife And through this lonely journey Will have lots of obstacles Some times when I get tired I have an ice cream Popsicle
I had a great job I had a pretty girl I was moving up Slowly in this world Had a good position In the factory And was working For a very good salary Then comes the war And things got tough They close the factory And at home it got rough I thought that her love Was my umbrella And when there's bad weather In her arms I would shelter And umbrella can do a lot When you are in the rain It can keep you dry Until the sun comes out again For me it seems like hard times Had just began to pour And my pretty umbrella Had holes I never seen before The fancy dinners we had Now become burger king And I guess she never love me Just the gifts I would bring And I brought home a pizza And she didn't take a slice And when I try to hug her Her arms were cold as ice One day she went out And she never came back And when I look in the closet She took every last rack But what can I do Sure I'm not the only one Who lost their job? And their woman was gone Always know I had an umbrella Now I don't know what to say When comes the rain She just up an flew away But I know the time will change And so will the weather And one day there will be some one Who wants me to be their umbrella?

My Soup friends are out of sight When I'm lonely in the night... Their poems I read And come up to speed And everything seems alright Poems in shapes and sizes Poets in different guises Some are sizzling hot Others hit the spot Yet all deserve some prizes Some write of nature and plants Not one about the dear ants Some hot body parts Some mention the arts While others write raves and rants Each has a story to tell And they write it oh, so well Word play is our craft Sometimes we are daft To leave? There's no way in hell! Eileen Manassian Ghali

I raised an Australian dingo, no name came to mind but Ringo; he jumped on me, ripped my clothes daily... it costed me plenty of money! Only once I left him alone; good grief... my furniture was torn! Oh, should I be mad... or be kind instead? I'll sleep over it for tonight! All Ringo did was run, bark and howl, mistaking a small cat for an owl; They took him away to the zoo today; he'll whimper form his cage, not rest! I'll take him back, lest he behaves; his lesson he'll learn: good manners! Now, Ringo just stares to earn forgiveness... it's fun to play with him and laugh!

Yarns Of A Seafaress Hemingway's famous "Old Man and the Sea" Simply couldn't hold a candle to me I caught Ahab's great white whale Did some surfing on his tail Made him jump through hoops 'fore I set him free In Scotland I gave Nessie a big scare As with my huge net, the beast I did snare I held on as Nessie tugged Then set her free as I shrugged To tell the truth, Nessie hadn't a prayer And now I've set my sights on the Kraken Oh yes, I'm more than a fishing bumpkin And so for Norway I sail To prove women aren't frail This giant squid is simply a munchkin This wonderful poem epitomizes Carolyn's love for everything about the sea. She has so creatively and entertainly regaled us with her delightful writes based on her own personal sea adventures that have become and will remain classics. I can picture Carolyn standing on the prow of a boat, her hair streaming in the wind, as it charges full steam ahead as she seeks further swashbuckling challenges beyond the horizon. She has been a supporter and encourager to me not only in poetic matters but personal matters as well. I pray that her well of verse will never run dry! Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired
Smelly Nelly was quite a charming girl, She wore her hair in braids instead of curls, Bathing several times per day in the Jewish way, Yet many scoffed and sniffed, exclaiming she smelt like manure in hay, Nelly used expensive oils and attars, some came from lands very far, Her raiments were made of the finest silks but people still told her she smelt like days old milk, They shunned and booed her, talking behind her back, hoping and praying she would have a heart attack, The gripe they harbored had nothing to do with Nelly's smell, it was because her family owned several oil wells, Neverthelss, she brought her own lunch which made her naysayers feel as if they were incompetent bunches, The farce of living as the Joneses do, never appealed to Nelly because she knew the value of a dollar, So while folks snickered and stared, corking their noses causing her despair, She sat and ate her snicker doodle sandwiches with her little pinky waving in the air, Smelly Nelly they chanted everyday, but she shrugged her shoulders and continued on her merry way, Cartier, Chanel and Youth Dew were always in her backpack, but she knew it was hard for critics to understand her modest lifestyle, They all rumoured that she lacked! Afterall, she rather "enjoyed" their ignorance, watching them treat her as if she were a rotten as mere happenstance, But Nelly soon conquered her critics by blossoming into a lovely swan, forgetting about the negativity, and meanness, leaving the penny section to stew in their own mess......
Eh, pal what are your chances of winning? Ah, you could have banked all this saving for an early retirement... to cherish that sentiment! When you're completely broke, start cringing!
I once knew a girl who lived far away, Who told me a fairy tale one sunny day, We would be friends for evermore, I would never be shown the door, I called her my friend but she wouldn't stay, The story is over the finish less than gay, The fact is my life has been put in disarray, Best friends an oath she swore, But that doesn't count anymore, The pain I feel will end soon I hope and pray,

Sometimes, we have to take a detour To green pastures and skies bright azure. I write these thoughts today Hoping bliss has come your way.

56 years. Now he lives on the 8th floor, she lives on the sixth. 2 floors, two buttons, and 20 feet away. He travels by cane. Relieved they don't make those things out of saw-dust, she lives 2 buttons, two floors, and 20 feet away. Too much momentum to spin her attempts, he waits for her guide downstairs. Paces in front of the window each day, and when she makes her move, he hurries down -well, he tries- so she won't assemble outside, unaccompanied. Always wondered what they talked about, perhaps the loss of their only daughter thirty years ago. perhaps not. That other day she sat alone, and I thought ... he may have just had taken a nap... and as she rested there waiting, she joined him, in the only way she could.

I fell in love; my heart goes thump, thump. You, dear one, a beautiful tree stump. Creases that shine so clear. Your presence, calls me near. Say you love me, while I have this bump. My heart craves in desire, for your rings. Fire burns inside, as the minstrel sings. Your caress sometimes rough, I am your man; I am tough. Say you will be mine, please, my lust springs. My darling, thus true, you are my stump. Adore resting on you, on my rump. I ache for answer, soon. Before the budding moon, My sweet love, do not make me a chump.

((bringing this back up)) Alice looked over at Sam, noticing she was quite busy writing. "Whatcha got there?" She asked casually. "Oh, just writing a little story here," Sam answered, "It involves Annie." "Annie?" Alice questioned, "Can I see?" "Well...it's not quite done," Sam explained, "Only got the first chapter done." "I wanna see," Alice let out, sitting up on the bed, "Please..." Sam sighed, looking over her work, "Yea alright. Maybe you can tell me where to fix some stuff then." Alice picked up the stack of papers and began reading.

After some searching, Nevin had found Sam and Alice's place. He heard they opened up the place to visitors so that is exactly what he decided to do. When he came upon the doors, he gave a few knocks.
Alice was busy reading Sam's story, so Sam happily answered the door. "Oh hey there Nevin," Sam greeted, "Come on in." "Hey Nev," Alice waved toward him, still focused on the story. "So what brings you out here?" Sam asked, "Is Lilith with you too?"
Nevin had shook his head, but still wore a smile "Not this time. She is currently out working within the temple at the moment." He began to walk in the door and started to look around the place. "Came by to visit and share in some good news."
"Good news?" Sam started, "Did we finally get to deal with that gopher issue?" Alice chuckled, "Oh right those things...I thought Nid took care of them."
"That too, which i am very glad for." He smiled lightly. "But no, that wasn't it. There was an abandoned facility near the institute, perhaps you have seen it before. turns out it was some old Arcade. I checked the place out and after a bit of work I restored the arcade.So now I take residence there and keep it up."
((How'd I miss your reply xD)) "Oh cool!" Alice let out, "Sam and I were wondering what that place was for." "Maybe it'll give Alice a place to hang out while I'm at work," Sam suggested, "Maybe we'll stop by and say hi sometime as well."
((Its alright :3 )) "That would be great." Nevin said. He would take a seat on the couch and would lightly smile. "I have a small office and private quarters there too, if we ever need to talk privately, or just need a place to crash."
"Well that'll be nice," Alice added, "Maybe if we decide to redo our room." "Last time we tried to get this room painted three guys can and stole our bed and screen," Sam commented. "Hey, at least they found them in the Library," Alice remarked, "So we got lucky there." "Yea...just glad you were out of the room at the time," Sam exclaimed, "But next time you decide to get our room painted, do it yourself." Alice chuckled, "Yea I know."
((Here is the thread, If you ever feel like going there)) "You had your TV and bed taken?" He asked bemusedly. It came as a suprise that someone would go and take it right within the institiute "At least you two found it again. How do you guys think that it made it there?" He asked.

billion in FY1999), they increasingly address issues relating to small and medium-sized farmers, respond to concerns of underserved constituencies, and encourage a closer linkage of extension and research in multistate, multidisciplinary, and public and private efforts emphasizing research that bears on the structure of agriculture.
The public sector should continue to experiment with research approaches—including multifunctional partnerships that link research and extension, partnerships that link the public sector with the private and nonprofit sectors, multi-state cooperation, and multidisciplinary collaboration—as instruments for serving small farms, minority farmers, and other underserved producers. The public sector should evaluate the potential and effectiveness of these research approaches to serve these constituents.
Public research is responding to a broadening of criteria for priority setting in research, which has implications for the structure of agriculture. This is occurring in three major areas: research to monitor and analyze structural variables; research to serve the needs of diverse constituencies; and research to further understand drivers of structural change other than research and development.
An analysis of the public-sector research portfolio demonstrates that although production agriculture still dominates, its share has decreased over time. Funding for research on specialty commodities, which offer opportunities for smaller growers to capture value, has increased relative to funding for research on other commodities, such as field crops. Support for chemical and mechanical research is minimal, whereas research on issues likely to benefit small and underserved farms as well as large farms—for example, natural resources and the environment, marketing, and rural development—is increasing. An analysis of research on environmentally sustainable technologies indicates that the public sector has played a major role in generating these technologies, many of them useful to farmers outside the commercial mainstream.
Innovative funding mechanisms integrating research and extension and fostering multidisciplinary research are suggested as possible avenues toward more effective investigation of structural questions.
