Subsystem powers make a huge difference in everything you do. I believe, by default, your subsystem power is distributed equally.
It should look like this:
Weapon 50/50
Shield 50/50
Engine 50/50
Auxiliary 50/50
Left value is actual, right value is the regular level. The numbers will change on the left, depending on what you have skill points into and what consoles you have. If you are flying an escort, you automatically get +15 to weapons. So, you weapon subsystem power would be 65/50.
In the case of weapons, 50 does 100% of the listed damage. At 100, you are doing 200% your listed damage (some think it's 300%). At 125 (hard cap on subsystem power), you are doing 250% (some thing it's 400%). For instance, I have my subsystem at 125/90 as an escort, and my mk XII dual heavy cannon lists the damage at 1,200+ DPS (you can see this in combat space or orbiting space....just hover the mouse over the weapon attack icon). Normally, it's 261 DPS. The 1200+ DPS is determined after skills, passives, and subsystem power.

As Zeke has stated, you can buy them from the Exchange or you can buy them with dilithium.

I have never seen this.
I've never seen my ship stats change...
I know there is a "ship heal" NPC guy at ESD but every time I talk to him, he tells me that my ship has no damages to be healed.
I have "components" piling in my inventory cause.. they,
, to be important...
But I've never had any use for them and they've thus far been rather useless inventory fillers...
Is this something that is maybe bugged?
No, it's not bugged. STO is forgiving to those players that choose to play normal. However, the rewards are greater when you play Elite. It's also harder. Not to mention, that when you die, you get damages to your ship. That is what the components are, and that is what that one officer is for on stations.
By default, your game is set to Normal. You can change this. However, you are given the option to stay on Normal mode, and only play the end-game STF missions on Elite.

I found that STO was incredibly way too easy to level up; flew around doing System Patrols for 2500+ Exp each, doing 3 - 4 of them in an hour and BAM, I've gone up 2 levels! Another couple hours, and I'm suddenly promoted to Lt. Commander... then play the game for a few hours the next night and suddenly I'm promoted to Commander already... then Captain... and now RA-LH!
I've done the 2800 episodes while I was Captain in a Tactical Defiant, they were kinda fun... but I've found that I can already get much better equipment on my ship from the Exchange as opposed to the Jem'Hader equipment rewards; and flying around in a ship with PURPLE engine streaks and purple windows, and purple deflector, and purple cannon bolts, and ... and.. and purple tribbles with green poka dots, and purple clowns.. and and and ... yea, it was getting kinda dumb...
Went back to using gear from the Exchange and saw a huge improvement in my ships performance.
Again, as Zeke said, you can skip any mission (except for the first mission of each chapter). That's what I did to quickly get the Assimilated Console.
As for the rewards for the 2800, a lot of the rewards for the story missions scale to your level, or they scale as you level up.
Here are the examples of those two types:
1) Let's say you got a mk VII shield from the 2800 story line after you beat it the first time. Then you replay the mission after you get to VA. The same shield will now be a mk XI. So, it's in your interest to replay the stories that had unique items (like the 2800 missions).
2) Let's say you get a weapon that has no mk. In that case, what typically happens, is that as you go up in rank, your weapon becomes more powerful without you having to do anything.

But after my PvP experiences last night, and seeing you mention it here, I definitely see the logic in it!
Sure, having all those Torps is awesome in PvE...
I think I'll grab a decent Pahser Relay, or two... keep them in my inventory along with the proper Consoles; and try them out next time I get into a PvP!
Then probably grab a third Tactical BoFF if I can with some Phaser skills; as opposed to the two Boff's I already have that share Torp and Cannon skills...
Just so there's no misunderstanding, beam weapons are classified as Beam Array (single beam) or Dual Beam Bank (dual beams).
Phaser Relays are the damage boosting console for phasers.
I wouldn't recommend putting a phaser ARRAY on your aft. Turrets consume less subsystem power and are considered cannons. So, your cannon abilities (like Cannon: Rapid Fire 2) would get boosted. Also, turrets have a 360 degree firing arc, so they can fire on whatever is directly in front of you along with your fore weapons.
The standard build that a lot of people use are:
Fore Weapons: 3x Dual Heavy Cannons + 1x Torpedo (usually quantum)
Aft Weapons: 3x Turrets
Tactical Consoles: 4x specific energy weapon boosting consoles

Deresiewicz is the author of the new book "Excellent Sheep: The Miseducation of the American Elite and the Way to a Meaningful Life."
"It costs lots of money to produce the kind of kid who can get into these schools," he said. "It's a resumes arms race that's going on in affluent suburbs. Not surprisingly, a vast majority of the kids who go to these schools are from affluent families."
Editor's Note: Retire 10 Years Earlier With These 4 Stocks
High-school extracurricular activities, such as sports and music, often are essential for getting into elite colleges, and these activities can be quite expensive for parents, Deresiewicz notes.
The kind of work that low-income kids might do should be valued more highly in the admissions process, he says. "Working at Denny's teaches a lot of skills," Deresiewicz said. "This type of service work is not valued in the admissions process."
Meanwhile, though the ultra-wealthy are largely culpable for the increase in income inequality, "it is hypocritical for most people wringing their hands to point at the rich as the sole source of wage inequality," financial author Erik Sherman writes in an article for Forbes.com.
"The middle class has a big role in the problem and helps perpetuate it in a number of ways." For example, by purchasing the cheapest goods and services at the lowest prices possible, the middle class helps put a ceiling on wages, Sherman notes.

There was only one scholarship for $1000 that I qualified for and I got it. I am to be a graduate assistant but the paperwork has not come through, it is only going to be for 2 or 3 credits, but without the paperwork, it is hard to plan for the amount of money and time.
I looked for the adult, single mothers and different Nationalities to apply. Lacks information!!!
Thry helped me alot with everything
My financial aid process experience wasn't too bad, even though I didn't get all the money I needed to pay for my tuition. APU was really good about helping me find scholarships and other funds in order to help me pay for college. If it wasn't for the help and the scholarships I received for my first year I don't think I would be attending this school. I do suggest that the financial aid adviser meet with the students, to make sure that the students are on the right track and make sure that all the documents are submitted properly and on time.
gives tips when scholarships are avalible for students

artisan of dreams. of my dreams Lei lo aveva abituato al sangue per la paura che la sete potesse scoppiargli tutta in una volta, fin da piccolo al suo seno si era attaccato per suggere sangue come nutrimento. Aveva sbagliato mille volte con quel suo figlio e continuava a scegliere errori per lui perché i vampiri non sono bravi genitori, non lo sono affatto. Non sono programmati per esserlo in nessun caso e lei era degnamente vampira ma indegnamente madre…da troppi secoli la sua vita mortale si era spezzata per ricordarsi anche solo cosa significasse essere figlia, come poteva conoscere il significato della parola madre se non le era mai stato concesso un figlio come donna? Nei suoi infiniti venticinque anni non conosceva niente che poteva aiutarla nel crescere un figlio. Nei suoi trecentoventi anni non aveva mai pensato di essere una madre fallita, lo scoprì in quel momento, davanti a quei due ragazzi che avevano un odore troppo invitante e umano per resistere a non assaggiarli.Aug 29th, 2011

Review: Betrayed by P.C. and Kristin Cast
Title: Betrayed (A House of Night Novel #2)
Author: P.C. and Kristin Cast
Genre:Paranormal Romance, Young Adult
Publisher: Atom (5th February 2009)
All any of us could talk about was Chris's disappearance and how bizarre it was that he had last been seen so close to the House of Night. I didn't want to believe it. But everything inside me said that the kid would be found, but he'd be found dead . . .
Things seem to be going pretty well for Zoey Redbird. She's settled in at the House of Night finishing school and is coming to terms with her incredible new powers. It all seems too good to be true. And guess what?
Someone has begun murdering human teenagers, and all evidence points to the vampyres of Zoey's school. Which means her first assignment as the leader of the Dark Daughters is finding out which one of her classmates or – gulp – teachers is a killer.
Sigh. And she thought her boyfriends (yes: plural) were going to be her biggest problem this year . . .
Rating:**** (4 stars)
Betrayed is the second book in P.C. and Kristin Cast's fabulous A House of Night Novel series. The story takes up pretty much from where Marked left-off, though an indeterminate period of time has passed since the events of Marked.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I just devoured it; it took me less than a day from start to finish to read this, and I can't wait to start the next book in the series :)
Betrayed has all the wonder of Marked and some of the same flaws too. It was nice to get re-introduced to the cast, to Zoey, and Stevie Rae, and Damien, and the Twins (Shaunee and Erin, who aren't really twins at all), and to Erik, and to Nala (Zoey's cat). I fell straight back into the world of House of Night, it was like I'd never left. I really liked that about this book.
We also got introduced to some new characters, who were interesting, and I can't wait to see how they develop. Changes are definitely afoot in this book. It is interesting to see how things fall out, and the questions it causes for the next book – which, just in case I haven't mentioned this before, I am looking forward to reading. Aphrodite and Neferet are very, very interesting in this book. I won't say more than that, because I don't want to spoil it for you. But I couldn't let them go unremarked upon.
There are some definite twists in this book, some of which were hinted at in Marked, but they're more explicit in Betrayed. Zoey is a bit well . . . silly in this book, and there were times when I wanted to poke her. Yet that was part of the thrill for me, I felt involved. Zoey's reactions are kind of understandable, especially with the major mystery of the book – who is murdering the humans?
If you've read and liked Marked, you should definitely continue on to Betrayed. And if you've not picked up Marked, then you should.

These books are a guilty pleasure of mine. I enjoyed the first three a lot, but then the flaws started getting to me. They are addictive though and fun to read though. Glad you are enjoying them and I look forward to seeing what you think of the next book.

Photograph or Pencil Drawing - you decide...First of all I do not claim to be a 'hyper-realism' artist, I am someone who just enjoys drawing, and if what I draw looks a little like the reference I am using then great - I do not draw a pixel at a time, I make long sweeping pencil strokes, layer over lighter work, erase like crazy and basically have fun. In most cases you can still see pencil strokes, un-blended areas of graphite, and lots of mistakes - but to me that what drawing is all aboutPhotograph or Pencil Drawing - you decide...9 months ago in Art Features More Like This
One of the ways I try to improve my work is to compare what I have drawn with the reference image I used to create it, it can be a fun way of seeing just how close - or how far away from the original you have got - I thought I would share a couple of examples with you.
I find placing the drawn picture next to the photograph, cropping them the same and adjusting the tone, contrast and exposure you can see just how close you can get to the original.

TIPS AND ADVICEOver the last few weeks I've been getting lots of requests for tips and advice. So I thought instead of answering each one I will give an overall guide to what I've learnt over the last year using graphite. And some of the things I'm going to say may sound very obvious but I'm trying to cater for artists of all levels so just ignore the bits you already know (I apologise for how long this is).TIPS AND ADVICE1 year ago in Personal More Like This
But before I go on I must point out though, that I am no expert and this is just what I've found works for me so may not work for everyone. And I have only really started getting used to using graphite pencils recently, as I had not drawn for 11 years until September 2012. And so I am still learning myself and have only found out what works for me from allot of practising and trial and error. Also I am not going to go into doing skin textures as I'm still learning what works and it's far too complicated to describe on here.

I decided to start something new: a serie of journals showing some Work of Deviants I am following, describing their galleries (:
I think talented people (wether famous or not) deserve support and attention.
The first Artist I want to feature is Oer-Wout
He's from the Netherlands and his photographs mainly focus on woodlands, with magic and mysterious atmospheres. The most used format is square, which, in my opinion, helps our eye to really get "into" the photo, making it more attractive (of course, it depends by the photo).
Sure the square shape works well with paths.
Not only, he has an eye for sunrays, and for those -like me- who love them, he provides really good examples.
Another chapter of his work is made by the so-called Dreamscapes, an explosion of clouds and water.

It's a month since I left my job and now I feel so careless about everything.
I don't feel like taking photos, choosing, editing them;
I've got lots of old stuff to delete...I havent't done this yet.
It's like anything is useless and meaningless, so I "don't waste my time".
But guess what I do in my free time? Nothing.
I also graduated in my Art Academy last friday... 109/110, and guess? I'm totally unhappy with this...just one point to the best! Is this a joke?
Oh crap.
But I'm still going on with my projects...Sunrays, 52 Weeks, Watchers feature and Deviants I like.
The quality of my photos also decreased a lot, and I delete almost all of them; maybe spring will help me to imorove again?
Or maybe I just need a new lens to feel artistic again? Hehe.
I'm saving money and have to decide wether buy a 100 macro or a 100-400 zoom.
Okay, stop complaining. I made a new feature, enjoy it and bye for now!

Project will examine technology's role in managing Web content
Putting open-source software to the test
Efficient e-forms ready for e-gov
The data reference model gets real
Center for Technology in Government's XML Testbed Project
New York State Governor's Office of Employee Relations
Researchers from the Center for Technology in Government are joining forces with New York state information technology officials to determine how Extensible Markup Language can improve Web site management.
As government Web sites have grown in size and complexity, managing content has become more laborious and costly.
Now researchers from the center, which is part of the State University of New York at Albany, are evaluating whether XML could become a viable alternative to HTML, which is the predominant language used to define the structure and layout of a Web document.
Although XML commonly supports effective data exchange, using it to manage Web content is less understood, researchers said. But XML, which describes the content and is more flexible than HTML, can dramatically improve workflow and reduce time, effort and costs related to Web site management, they added.
"It hasn't been talked about a lot, and I'm not sure really why," said Derek Werthmuller, the center's director of technology services. "Part of it is because there really isn't something to sell. XML is like HTML, everybody owns it."
The center is leading an 18-month project with the Office of the Chief Information Officer and the Governor's Office of Employee Relations (GOER), which provides labor relations and employee training and development, to evaluate XML's advantages and shortcomings in Web site management.
Since July, five state government agencies have been participating in the test bed project, in which each agency will create a prototype XML Web site and business case model. Researchers will discuss findings at a Jan. 25 presentation and will continue to develop guidebooks and an online library of XML technical resources until next summer.
The center converted its HTML-managed Web site to an XML format several years ago.
Jim Costello, the center's Web application developer, said in 2001 it took one full-time employee to manage the site's 1,300 pages, including keeping up with links and changing and redesigning content. Now it takes one person only a quarter of the time to manage the Web site's 5,000 pages, he said.
Onnolee Smith, GOER's assistant director of workforce organization and development, said state agencies began exploring ways to improve Web accessibility and training needs more than a year ago. She said they view XML as a next-generation application that will help agencies manage the complexity, cost and effectiveness of their Web sites. The state wants Web site management to be more logical and sequential.
"Let's face it, there was no such thing as a Webmaster 10 years ago," Smith said. "There was not a set of skills for maintaining a Web site. There was not a thinking pattern on what Web communications were about."
Richard Pilarski, assistant director of GOER's management development unit, said that with the advancement of technology, there are opportunities to provide more functionality to a Web site, such as video streaming, which would be more cumbersome to manage in an HTML format.
XML provides more structure, efficiency and effectiveness for agencies that have limited resources for managing the increasing complexities of Web sites. He said the software they've inherited is like a tree whose branches have grown haphazardly.
"It gets so hard to trim that tree," he said. "It seems better to grow the hybrid from the concept that you have as opposed to having a concept for what the software ought to function like and look like, such as a template capability in XML."
The composition of the five participating state agencies, chosen from 14 proposals, are different in size, technologies and outsourcing support, among other factors, researchers said. A Web/IT employee, content developer and content reviewer, from each agency are participating in various workshops, training and homework.
Researchers said providing business analysis is crucial for employees to understand what they're trying to solve and how to approach it using their XML skills. Researchers also learned that many employees already have the technical skills needed to learn new techniques.
Donna Canestraro, the center's program manager, said the issue is not about technology but more about workflow management. The various stakeholders in a Web site, she said, are learning the intricacies of one another's duties. She said problems might occur in the conversion of word-processing documents to HTML or in the editing process.
Researchers said XML enables a smooth workflow. It provides a single place where changes are made and then sent to multiple channels for delivery or publication. Other benefits include more automation, fewer errors and less manual labor.
"It also enables the idea of reuse...by being able to structure your content in such a way that it has the ability to repurpose that information across your Web site in a variety of different places and, most important, do it accurately," Canestraro said.
New York state government officials believe the project could help other agencies make informed decisions about XML, provide templates and data for use and improve the technical skills of the IT workforce. They said it could help attract and retain employees, but they are aware of possible cultural resistance to change.
Pilarski said officials must describe how much better XML will be.
"And that symposium then will begin to explain to other agencies how much better the vision can be with this kind of capability compared to what you're struggling with at this time."
Making the XML test bed
The Center for Technology in Government's XML Testbed Project involves five New York state agencies that are developing Extensible Markup Language Web site prototypes and business case models during an 18-month project.
The agencies include the Department of Civil Service, the Higher Education Services Corp., the Office of Cultural Education, the Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and the Division of Housing and Community Renewal.
Sponsored by the Office of the Chief Information Officer and the Governor's Office of Employee Relations, the project will assess the benefits and drawbacks of using XML to manage Web sites.
According to the center, XML's advantages include:
Derek Werthmuller, the center's director of technology services, said XML-powered Web sites might also be easier to archive and could have a longer shelf life than an HTML-archived Web site.
"In 10 years, are you going to have something that can view that?" he asked. "You're really storing the HTML, which is a mix of content and the presentation. With XML, you have more options. You can archive the content, or you can archive the Web presence what does it look like from a user experience."
The center will present the project in Albany Jan. 25, and Tim Bray, co-inventor of XML and director of Web technologies at Sun Microsystems, will deliver the keynote address. To register by Jan. 20, 2006, or find more information, visit www.ctg.albany.edu/

weed hog trimmer blade
I just purchased a Weed Hog blade for my echo trimmer, and it just shreds the small brush and grass; however, it scares me the way chips of wood sometimes fly up and hit my face. It makes me wonder about the possibility of a piece of blade flying off sometime.
Actually the things seems well built, made in Georgia, and its like a mini rotary cutter with a center spindle and 2 free swinging blades. The design seems really cool, and it cuts great. I'm just concerned about the safety question.
Comments, please.
I have not directly heard of a brush blade failing but I have heard others mention that fear. Someone did write that you should not try to substitute a circular or tablesaw blade as a brush cutting blade. Their fear was that those blades are not designed for the higher rpm's of trimmers and that the teeth could potentially come off. I imagine a small sharpened bit of carbide could nicely embed itself in your muscle, maybe even your bone.
There is another brush blade called a "Beaver Blade". It looks to be a series of short sections of sawchain attached to a metal disc.
Hopefully the instructions that came with both your Echo trimmer and the Weed Hog blade caution you to wear protective gear for your eyes and face.
When I bought my Stihl chain saw, I also purchased a Stihl chainsaw helmet, which includes ear protectors and a wire screen that gives full face protection and some neck protection. I also wear it when I am using my shredder-chipper and I would wear it if I were using a trimmer.
When I first got the chainsaw helmet, I had some doubts about the wire screen. But I found that safety goggles always fog up on me, and the wire screen doesn't do that. The wire screen is black, and you hardly notice it.
Pooh Bear,
This is a link for a Beaver Blade.
Pooh Bear,
I think the Beaver Blade can be used with quite a few makes and models of trimmers. But it is capable of doing much more serious injury than a regular string trimmer.
Incidentally, I didn't find a source for the "Weed Hog blade" that James mentioned, but it may be a flail type of blade with pivoted swinging blades mounted on the central core. In some designs, the swinging blades are made of solid nylon. In other designs, they are metal, and even more dangerous.
Thanks for the replies. The chain saw helmet seems a good idea. fyi--my weedhog has metal blades. They show some nicks due to serious use. fyi--I bought weedhog on ebay. Perhaps it is a discontinued item. I really couldn't say. But I think I will look into purchasing a screen mask.
Metal wire is pretty dangerous I use the plastic brush blades in my yard and they have metal blades on the outside of them. Pro's don't have to change the string or blades as much and can cut small trees with them. They pivot back inside attachment head so don't break off. Con's a set of blade replacements cost about 10 bucks but they are pretty easy to replace just remove attachment and it comes apart surprisingly easy. I have a neighbor who got some solid metal blades made from industrial steel where he works but that is not something that every one can get easily. I think ten bucks on the blades is way worth it and there are light blades can get 12 packs of that wont cut the small tree's but for grass work real well and tall weeds.

I'm looking for a way to harness the energy I expend screaming at computers, preferably in away that would automatically shovel snow... ;-)
Have fun!!
Move to South Texas, Spike! Then you won't have to worry about shoveling snow.
I know nothing about renewable energy. But I will be checking in here to see what I can learn.
I too am a big supporter of wind pv power. Glad to see a forum on this here. Am building a log home in 2/3yrs and will be installing solar heat gain/ powered with a hybrid system of wind and sun. Ontario Canada is half and half for small residential uses.
Hi Moldy,
What do you mean that Ontario is half and half for small residential uses?
My friend, who bought a wooded plot for his home, refused to have Ontario Hydro cut a swath through his trees to install a powerline.
So bought a 4kw generator - later thumped by lightning, so he replaced it with a 5kw one, producing 110v. and 220v. AC power.
Later he bought a larger, diesel powered generator - but hasn't got it ready to use yet.
Inverter and large bank of batteries allowed him to store the energy at 24 volts (I think) and to change it to 110v. AC again for use in his home. Electric fridge.
Propane for furnace, water heater, kitchen stove.
About 15 mi. E. of Lake Huron, with substantial and reasonably steady windflow, later he installed wind generator about 70' in air - above his trees.
He's been happy with the system.
Not crying in his beer in recent times, like the rest of us.

Ya, I'm looking forward to discussions on this forum too, except my idea of acceptable renewable energy shouldn't include such poisonous stuff as lead, acid, or semiconductors (photovoltaics) as the latter contains arsenic among other nasty things.
Wind power is more up my alley, where the energy is stored not in batteries but in a conversion process to a hydrogen fuel.
Hi Spike,
We've never exchanged posts nor have I checked your page to see where you live - until now.
I like the snow.... as long as there isn't too much of it. I've got a snow thrower though.. if it gets too bad.
Nice to exchange a few words with you Spike.
Good luck!
Looking forward to reading and learning.
Stop screaming Spike!
Move to La. where its wet all winter and trade
your snow boots for rain boots.
My son hits our computer desk with his fist so often and "expresses" himself in frustration, I've often thought how useful his (teen 16) fist-banging would be at cracking assorted Nuts!
At least he'd have some benefit of shelled nuts as snacks for all the effort he exerts - but then, I'd be vacuming the keyboard endlessly - so haven't bothered to share!

Hi again, all.
Just wondering - has anyone figured a way to harvest the hot air that flies around here?
During a recent phone-in program on renewable energy subject in this area, near the Great Lakes, so not in high heat area, one person said that our peak usage of power is in summer, air conditioning season and in winter for heating - but that those who recommend using wind energy haven't given heavy consideration to the fact that our main wind seasons are spring and fall.
Just a thought.
I, too, thank you for adding this forum, Spike - it is something to which we need give considerable thought in the coming months and years.

Before anyone thinks about building a tower in their backyard, and attaching a propeller to it to make electricity, they had better check their insurance policy.
The insurance companies don't want to pay for towers falling on neighbors houses or your own for that matter. Or for kids climbing up and falling off, or for some old geezer walking into it on the way to the outhouse. Like our joyful friend says the wind doesn't always blow at the right time and reading by candlelight went out with Abe Lincoln. By the way, if they hadn't invented electricity we would be watching TV by candlelight---did you ever think of that.

Time ago I used only text ads. Switched to all type of media in order to take advantage or more possible income. But didn't improve at all.
Do you notice allowing all media type is good for you? Or otherwise?

Google states that it will help your earnings but when I tried running image ads in the past my earnings would drop due to lower ctr. Nowadays activating image ads has no affect on earnings.

For the first time *ever* I enabled image ads on some ad slots three weeks ago: CTR 10% up, eCPM 15% up.
Maybe people are actually clicking image ads, or the remaining text ads are showing 'better' (more interesting?) ads.

CTR has been dropping every year since 07 for us across hundreds of different topics. We now range at just 25% of our first few years with adsense. Judging from how are comp has placed ads they are seeing the same thing. All used to run 1 well placed text only block, they are now running 3 regular blocks with a few adlinks and search. All with image ads enabled.
People just are not clicking as much because
- the great recession
- duel wars with a possible 3rd in the works with Iran
- housing collapse
- wall street collapse
- banking collapse
- euro meltdown
- possible double dip recession or worse depression
- massive unemployement
- massive underemployment
- record US debt
- US GDP and Debt almost tied
- Fear is rampant
- middle-upperclass totally freaked out(2 neighbors had bomb shelters installed recently)
- wall street totally out of tune with reality (re Charles Munger, Warren Buffets longtime business partners article "Basically, It's Over"
- completely unrelated "interest based ads"
- I am pretty sure adsense blindness is setting in
I could go on and on;)
We also enabled image ads across many sites and saw a small increase in both ctr and earnings as in the past it didnt help but hurt. Seems it is taking quite a bit to get a user to click nowadays.

I am directly testing image ads against text ads at the moment; was really expecting low performance from image but I have been surprised. The CTR is better, and the eCPM only a little less. This didn't used to be the case.

An AdSense rep told me the most beneficial way that enabling text-only or image-only works is because it forces fewer ad options, which can raise the bidding price.
The only way I got it to work for me is to display one ad image-only, and the other ad which displays both will increase CPM, I suppose because of a lower availability of ad slots.

Image ads have been super on some of my sites. So much so that now I've actually dedicated a few first-serve slots to image-only. Both CTR and CPM are very juicy on those.

Because I'm testing, I am rotating text-only ad code with image-only ad code. Very happy with the results.

image ads are hit and miss, the creative being displayed has a huge impact on CTR.
The goal of image advertisers is to get their banner in front of you but not get any clicks. Why? because they want branding for free. Imagine showing your banner on thousands of pages per day, almost free!
Text on the other hand is for clicks. Sure, including images will improve epc since you have a larger pool of ads to draw from but you will also lose clicks so it balances out. The only WIN situation is when your site shows one of the extremely clickable image ads a lot but those are expensive on the advertiser and campaigns don't last long for these.
Text only for me. I reserve image ads for other locations and lead them to affiliate offers (aka I choose the creative)

I'm recently seeing lots of video ads on my site, which I've never had before, and am very pleased with the results. CTR has dropped a smidge, but ECPM is about +50%.

I really think the nitch really plays a huge role in what ad type works best. For us the 2 ad unit text ad works. Tried others fell off the planet switched back and back on track. Tried more ads per unit dropped went back to regular 2 ads per unit back up. Tried them all hands down for us is the 2 ads per unit placed within the page text above the fold.
Getting the right place, number of ads per unit, type of ad, and color is all about testing. When you find the right combo best thing to do is stick with it.

Agreed. The demographics of your visitors plays heavily into this as well. Mom and pops are more likely to click on ads than seasoned, tech-savvy surfers.

Also, there is a marked difference in quality in between the glossy professional "agency" type image ads, and the ones the advertisers can do themselves with the display ad builder. Obviously I can't directly measure CTR on them. But they just don't look good.

My experience has led me to believe that the text only vs text and image vs image only id not a static situation.
So much depends on the ads being run in each ad type at the moment that only the most severe situations warrant any action or changes on the publishers part.

I switched to text only and income remains the same. I'll try to set up only image ads but my understanding is that's only possible touching ad by ad (a lot of work)... and I have no great expectations about it. Seems like no matter what media type nothing results in more savings.

Do It Yourself: Professional sealer can help with cracks
Q. Our blacktop driveway emerged from winter with a number of hairline cracks that weren't there before. I had repaired some other cracks a year ago with some home-center crack filler (caulking-gun type), but those patches have shrunk and are loose. How can I make more permanent repairs?
A. Some of the inexpensive asphalt crack fillers sold at home centers and hardware stores don't work very well. I have tried some of them, and have had results similar to yours – the patches would shrink or crack, often in less than a year.
The best bet is to look for commercial-grade or professional-grade crack fillers. These aren't usually stocked in stores with the regular caulks, but with other driveway-repair materials such as sealers and cold patch. Building-supply outlets where contractors shop are another likely source.
One good prospect is Crack Stopper Rubberized Asphalt Crack Filler, which sells for about $7 for a 10-ounce caulking-gun cartridge. Some of these products are also available in larger squeeze bottles.
I also got better crack sealing results with silicone asphalt crack filler, but unfortunately I haven't been able to find it this year.
You should read the directions for any crack filler you use. In general, hairline cracks should be cleaned before sealing. I use an old paint brush to sweep off dust and loose particles.
Squeeze a bead of sealer along the crack, then use a putty knife to press it into the gap and smooth the top. If the driveway hasn't been sealed for a couple of years, apply a sealer after all cracks have been patched.
Q. We have a concrete patio that develops a lot of mildew. The patio gets no sun. We had it pressure washed a few years ago and the mildew came off, but it returns rapidly. What kind of surface can we apply to keep it permanently free of mildew?
A. You could try painting the patio with a patio-and-porch paint treated with a hefty dose of mildewcide additive, but there is no guarantee that it will work for long and you might have recurring maintenance problems with the paint.
In fact, I don't know of any surface that won't develop mildew or mold if conditions are right: lack of sun, moisture and poor ventilation.
I think your best bet is to buy an electric pressure washer. This should cost you about $200.
These washers develop about 1,500 to 1,800 psi (pounds per square inch) of pressure, which is enough to flush off mildew and dirt if the nozzle is held rather close to the surface. When you see mildew developing, pull out the washer, plug it in and hook it up to a water source, and blast it off.
Buy the washer when you see some mildew on the patio. Try it immediately, and if it doesn't flush off the mildew, return it and buy another brand.
Pressure washers are also excellent for many other cleaning jobs, including removal of ground-in dirt from sidewalks and other hard surfaces, washing outdoor furniture and vehicles and house siding.
The washer should include a built-in GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupter) for shock protection.
Q. We recently bought a house with five bathrooms. All the toilets are of the water-saving type, and there isn't enough water to make any of them flush properly. A plunger is always needed. Is there anything we can do to improve the flushing without replacing the toilets?
A. All new toilets sold in the United States are of the water-saving variety, with maximum water per flush no more than 1.6 gallons. Some new toilets use even less than that.
You don't give any details on your toilets, but many high-efficiency water-saving toilets work just fine under normal circumstances. High-efficiency toilets generally cost $200 or more.
Some toilets are also equipped with pressure-assist devices that help flushing, but these devices cannot be retrofitted on existing toilets. If this is a new house, I think you should try and get some information from the toilet installer, and ask him or her to check the flushing action.
If you were stuck with cheap, poorly designed toilets, you might want to upgrade a couple that are most used to get better performance. I have two high-efficiency American Standard toilets, bought at Lowe's, and seldom have any flushing problem in normal use.
You might also check out toilets with a pressure-assist device such as Flushmate. You will pay more, but it should give the plunger a rest.
Questions and comments should be e-mailed to Gene Austin at email@example.com. Send regular mail to 1730 Blue Bell Pike, Blue Bell, PA 19422.

Each time I run Be Your Own Beloved I'm in awe of the things that come up, that challenge me to create new prompts, that I discover about ones that I've used so many times in this class but a participant experiences it in a new way, and by the depth, bravery & honesty of the participants.
Last session one participant mentioned that they found that when they did a prompt where they could set aside over planning the activity or let go of creative expectations, the healing awaited them.
This put to words something I've been feeling in my own self-portrait journey for a long time but have been fearful to talk about in my work as the wildly creative self-portraits are selfies people take are AWESOME and I don't want to put words to their experience of taking selfies and say it isn't as 'healing' as another.
I can only share my truth with you.
The more I try and plan out a shot, the less I feel like I leave room for the new stories that could arise for me. And when I do leave that space, they flow in each and every time.
The healing happens when I stop trying to plan out a shot. When I keep it as simple as possible. When I just make space to look at the woman in the lens and say "What's your truth today my friend".
I've shared this here before, that sometimes I see people's wildly creative selfies and wish for a second that it could be my path. Yet I know that my path is all about finding my way home to my body, of taking photos that invoke freedom and the reclamation of my own voice defining how I see myself. I know I'll go deeper into elements of this as time passes, but they may never be the kind of photos you'd see up in a gallery, and that is 100% good with me. Because I'm not taking these photos to get anyone else's approval or to have anyone else say they are enough. I'm taking them so I can see myself clearly and tell the woman in the image that she is enough, that she is beautiful and that I am proud of her.
I've learned that the more clearly I want to connect with this as healing journey, the more I need to take the pressure of myself for it to be anything other than a conversation between myself and the camera and let creative magic happen through light and playfulness.
So I wanted to share this with you today in case you're feeling the pressure from yourself to get a technically creative or 'new' type of self-portrait for yourself, but really crave to return to the simple conversation that selfies can be.
Or if you are taking everyday selfies and putting pressure or judgement on yourself that they aren't artistically composed enough.
You get to define how this journey goes for you.
And it's not a 'who can take the best selfie' competition.
It's you, showing up for the person in the lens and in the mirror and saying "I'm listening".
So follow whatever path your intuition tells you when you pick up that camera to share your truth, but know that sometimes when we let go of the pressure to get a perfect or a creatively unique shot. When we take the pressure off of ourselves to get the right shutter speed or aperture. When we keep it simple, sometimes thats where the deeper story we need to tell begins…

Wow. I wasn't aware of this. I can't believe this happened to someone at JLS
There is a fund started by the co-presidents of the PTA to help buy groceries for this family during the summer. This is not because they are in need, but because it is a sympathetic gesture. The family is Russian and their culture does not necessarily understand the way the community wants to help them out, so it has been felt that a gift card for groceries shows the best signs of support.
If anyone is interested in donating, ask the JLS office to give you the details of the co-presidents.

Irises near edible plants
dpc5555March 13, 2012
Hi all,
Does anyone know if there are restrictions about planting irises in proximity to vegetables or herbs?
I have an enclosed vegetable garden and was looking for something to plant around the border of the garden for visual flair. The upright stalks of the Iris leaves would give a nice accent, though I know certain parts of the plant are considered poisonous.
If this is a bad idea and anyone has other recommendations for a border plant, I'm open to suggestions.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Astronomers have found a pulsating, dead star beaming with the energy of about 10 million suns.
A planet may be causing the star it orbits to act much older than it actually is, according to new data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. This discovery shows how a massive planet can affect the behavior of its parent star.
As one of the first objects observed by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory after its launch some 15 years ago, the Eta Carinae star system continues to reveal new clues about its nature through the X-rays it generates.
New data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory offer a glimpse into the environment of a star before it exploded earlier this year, and insight into what triggered one of the closest supernovas witnessed in decades.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray observatory have something in common: a huge test chamber used to simulate the hazards of space and the distant glow of starlight.
NASA's Space Shuttle Columbia carried the Chandra X-ray Observatory into space 15 years ago, deploying it on July 23, 1999.
WASHINGTON, July 22, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Fifteen years ago, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory was launched into space aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia.
Celebrants this Fourth of July will enjoy the dazzling lights and booming shock waves from the explosions of fireworks. A similarly styled event is taking place in the galaxy Messier 106.
Using the ESA's XMM-Newton and NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers have located a mysterious X-ray signal that could be produced by sterile neutrinos – particles that are a potential candidate for the abundant and essentially invisible substance known as dark matter.
WASHINGTON, June 19, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- An international team of astronomers, using data from several NASA and European Space Agency (ESA) space observatories, has discovered unexpected

X-Ray Astronomy -- Although the more energetic X-rays (E > 30 keV) can penetrate the air at least for distances of a few meters (they would never have been detected and medical X-ray machines would not work if this was not the case) the Earth's atmosphere is thick enough that virtually none are able to penetrate from outer space all the way to the Earth's surface. X-rays in the 0.5 - 5 keV range, where most celestial sources give off the bulk of their energy, can be stopped by a few...
Chandra X-ray Observatory -- NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, which was launched and deployed by Space Shuttle Columbia on July 23, 1999, is the most sophisticated X-ray observatory built to date. Chandra is designed to observe X-rays from high-energy regions of the universe, such as the remnants of exploded stars. The Observatory has three major parts: (1) the X-ray telescope, whose mirrors focus X-rays from celestial objects; (2) the science instruments which record the X-rays so...

Atomic structure, computer artwork. In the centre of the atom is the nucleus (euro sign), made up of a tightly-packed cluster of protons and neutrons. Four electrons are orbiting around the nucleus. This classical atomic model is known as the Bohr Model, after the Danish physicist Neils Bohr. However, in modern quantum physics it has proved impossible to precisely locate the position of atomic electrons. Instead they are represented by fuzzy clouds, large areas within which there is a high probability of an electron being found.
Science Photo Library was founded in 1981 by Michael Marten, one of the authors of "Worlds Within Worlds", a book exploring different ways to observe the universe - from electron micrographs, to images of earthrise taken from the Apollo spacecraft. When Marten started receiving requests for the beautiful images in the book, he had an idea of setting up Science Photo Library. Since then, Science Photo Library has continued to work alongside world acclaimed photographers and the leading science and medical experts to provide a central source of the best science and specialist imagery available. Although the collection started with scientific images, it has grown to encompass all aspects of science and their impact on everyday life.
