Now that Google has agreed to show tweets in search results, it's time to plan your Twitter SEO.
The major search engines have a history of evolving their indexing capabilities to keep up with new types of digital content. First it was HTML text, then blog content, then multimedia files like videos, and more recently it was flash content. Now the search engines are indexing another type of content -- tweets!
That's right, for those of you who haven't heard, it's official -- Google has reached an agreement with Twitter to show tweets in their search results. While previously, Twitter profile pages may have been surfacing in the listings, now individual tweets can show up as a unique listing.
So, what does that mean for marketers? Well, just like when new types of content have been added to the search indexes in the past and we've had to adapt our strategies to optimize for this new content, we're going to have to do the same for tweets.
Question: How do you get your tweets in organic listings?
Answer: With this agreement only being announced a few weeks ago (October 21), there isn't a ton of data on what works and what doesn't from an SEO (define) perspective. As anyone that has done SEO before knows, there's a lot of trial and error to determine what works when it comes to influencing organic positioning. That said, there are many thoughts on how marketers can both optimize their tweets, as well as leverage Twitter from a larger perspective to improve overall SEO results.
First of all, keep in mind that no matter what type of content -- whether it's a tweet from two hours ago or a PDF from two years ago -- Google and the other search engines are looking for relevancy and authority.
Question: So how do you gain relevancy and authority within your Twitter profile and your tweets?
Answer: According to most perspectives I found on the Web, you can basically approach optimization for Twitter the same way as other SEO initiatives. Namely, you should ensure you are using your desired keywords in all Twitter profile page and tweet content, that you build up followers (which count as in-bound links), generate in-bound links via other sources to improve the authority of your profile, and encourage others to share (retweet) your Twitter content. Hashtags are generally considered similar to keyword meta-data -- probably not closely considered by the search engine in terms of rankings, but they need to be employed when creating tweets nonetheless.
Here are some useful articles I came across on the topic:Foreseeing the importance of SEO for Twitter well before this agreement was reached, Mike Dobbs from Mashable offers several SEO tips for Twitter, including:
Writing very recently, Jason Nyback on Ezinearticles.com corroborates some of Dobbs' tips. He also suggests optimizing your Twitter profile description for target keywords and attempting to use those keywords in tweets. He recommends undertaking specific "link building" activities for your Twitter profile -- just like you would with your site -- by undertaking article submission or similar approaches. Finally, he stresses the importance of attracting more followers to improve the authority of your page.
Another recent article by Todd Lucier from TourismKeys.ca substantiates the claim that more followers will help, but he also maintains that relevancy is just as, if not more, important than quantity. Having a handful of followers in your industry/category and fewer retweets is more valuable than thousands of irrelevant followers. Just like any other content, Google uses these linkages to better understand what your content is all about and categorize (index) it appropriately. Lucier also points out that the golden rule of search -- creating content that is valuable to your audience -- applies to Twitter.
All of these findings come as no surprise -- the same approaches and tactics that work for "regular" SEO can more or less be adapted to the Twitter environment. The medium may have changed, but the strategies, for the most part, haven't.
That said, over the coming months we will hopefully see some case studies emerge that will provide further insight into more discrete tactics that can be undertaken. Until then, enhancing the relevancy and authority of your Twitter profile and posts will no doubt help your position in the search engine results.

Switch a man's pattern for a woman.
Some patterns are offered for the family and they include directions for children through adults. Many female sweaters are not large enough for me. If I used a loose fitting male pattern I would have to adjust sleeve and body length, but the chest and belly would be OK. Will this work?
If there is a men's pattern that you like, what you have suggested would absolutely work. If you are looking for larger size women's patterns, there are more and more resources.
See if your library has a copy of Big Girl Knits by Jillian Moreno & Amy Singer - it has quite a few pretty patterns and instructions on tweaking patterns to play up your good bits and down play the not so good bits.
Amy Singer is also the editor of knitty.com - a free online knitting magazine, so quite a few of their patterns come in a wider range of sizes than what you might find in other magazines.
I know there are also a bunch of "pattern generator" websites about where you enter your desired measurements, and the gauge for your stitch pattern and it will spit out instructions. I'm a new enough knitter that I still need my patterns road tested, so I haven't tried that particular option.
Sorry for the ramble, but if you are going to spend the time on a handknit item, I hope you aren't just "settling" for a pattern but really like it.
Here is a link that might be useful: craftfetish blog
I am too fat for a fitted look anywhere on my anatomy :-)
I have a huge desire to make a sweater in Rowan's Cashsoft in a gorgeous shade of blue. This yarn sells for around $8 a ball and I would need about 18 balls for a fairly simple pattern. I want stoc. st. mostly, but do want something , maybe a few cables, to make the sweater dressy. Using an expensive yarn makes it crucial that I like the pattern.
I have looked online for a better Cashsoft price, but the cost of shipping is rediculous for such a light weight package and the end price is the same or greater.

Gastroparesis is essentially nerve and muscle damage that causes the stomach to not be able to empty its contents (like food and liquids) at a normal rate. Chronic nausea and vomiting is one of the most frustrating and irritating of the Gastroparesis symptoms. When the food that those with Gastroparesis try to eat ends up sitting on their stomach because the nerves and muscles in the stomach are damaged, the food can rot causing toxic poisons to sit in the stomach. Gastroparesis (stomach paralysis) can also cause nausea because the food has nowhere to go, and in many cases it can also lead to vomiting. Nausea and vomiting can make it difficult to have conversations, it can make leaving the house a complicated task, and it can cause embarrassment when trying to socialize in public. Merriam-Webster dictionary explains that nausea is "a stomach distress with distaste for food and an urge to vomit" (See http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nausea for more information), while vomiting is "an act or instance of disgorging the contents of the stomach through the mouth" (see http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/vomit). Nausea alone can cause a lack of appetite that often leads to weight loss and malnutrition while vomiting can cause a serious array of side effects that affect the quality of life and can increase the risk of gaining other illnesses. It's important to know how chronic nausea and vomiting affects the body and what you can do to treat it to help avoid Gastroparesis complications.
Effects of Chronic Nausea & Vomiting & The A-B-C's of Nausea & Vomiting Treatments
Dehydration is the loss of water in the human body. The human body needs a specific percentage of water to keep its organs up and running to its full potential. The average human body contains approximately 60% of water. Water is needed to transport nuisance to organs through the blood stream. One of the most common side-effects of nausea and vomiting is dehydration. Dehydration can cause people to become lethargic and it can lead to heart arrhythmia problems where the heart beats too quickly which can lead to sudden death. Dehydration can cause fevers, weakness, dry mouth, excessive thirst, dizziness, headaches, confusion, lightheadedness, and even fainting. One of the easiest symptoms to spot for dehydration is the lack of urination for 8-12 hours or when your urine looks dark in color. Those who are vomiting need even more water than those who aren't because they are losing the amount of water faster than they are taking it in. The only way to treat Dehydration is by drinking clear fluids or in serious cases, by visiting your local emergency room for IV fluid hydration.
Vomiting can cause a large increase in the amount of trips people have to take to the dentist. Vomiting can cause an increase is mouth diseases, tooth decay, and can even lead to an array of mouth sores such as canker sores. Due to the amount of acidity in stomach acid and vomit, vomiting can strip away tooth enamel. The acid in vomiting can also cause teeth to turn yellow; it can cause numerous cavities and serious gum diseases and overall tooth decay. Vomiting can lead to tooth sensitivity with hot and cold sensations. It's important to combat the effects that vomiting can have orally by visiting your dentist (for more information on how to build up tooth enamel visit: http://www.ehow.com/list_7176515_products-rebuild-enamel-teeth.html).
Chronic vomiting increases the risk of aspirating and can cause aspiration. Aspiration as defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary is "the taking of foreign matter into the lungs with the respiratory current" (See http://www.merriam-webster.com/medical/aspiration). Aspiration can be particularly dangerous when food, beverages, stomach acid, or anything remaining in the stomach is expelled up through the respiratory system causing an inability to breath. Ehow.com states that a "Pulmonary aspiration happens when your ability to swallow is compromised enough to cause you to breathe liquids into your lungs. This can cause serious complications, including choking and lung infections" (see http://www.ehow.com/how_5701747_control-pulmonary-aspiration-diseases.html). Aspirations and Pulmonary aspirations can cause pneumonia and very serious infections which can be life threatening. Foods that are difficult to swallow or pills that seem to "get stuck" can increase the risk of aspiration. The most serious type of aspiration is when stomach acid is introduced into the lungs, if you are at a high risk for aspiration it's important to take the extra steps to talk to your doctor about other forms of being fed such as feeding tubes and TPN.
Another serious side-effect of chronic nausea and vomiting is nutrient depletion and malnutrition. Sodium, electrolytes, potassium, and other vitamins and minerals are essential to keeping your body and organs up and functioning. According to livestrong.com a decrease in potassium can lead to heart arrhythmia problems that can cause lung paralysis and in some severe cases, even heart attacks (Visit http://www.livestrong.com/article/250841-symptoms-of-a-lack-of-potassium/for more information). Potassium is also known to decrease the muscles ability to function properly and can attribute to breaking down muscles all together causing muscle fatigue, muscle failure, and a decrease in organ function leading to organ failure. Visithttp://www.greensnoteasy.com/2013/05/weight-gain-malnutrition-vitamins.html for more information on malnutrition.
One of the biggest concerns with vomiting is damage to the esophagus. As stated by biology.about.com "Anatomically and functionally, the esophagus is the least complex section of the digestive tube. Its role in digestion is simple: to convey boluses of food from the pharynx to the stomach" (For the full article visit http://biology.about.com/library/organs/blpathodigest5.htm). When the stomach acid eats away at the esophagus, the esophagus can become thin. The thinner the esophagus becomes the easier it is to tare, or rupture it. The esophagus plays a vital role in aiding in digestion and damage to the esophagus can have deadly consequences and can lead to illness such as cancer.
Due to the fact that there is no cure for Gastroparesis, decreasing nausea and vomiting is often aimed at symptom management rather than treatment. Vomiting is the body's method of expelling food out of the digestive system as quickly as possible to reduce the amount damage being done on the digestive tract. As painful and frustrating it is, not having the ability to vomit can be equally distressing. Controlling nausea and vomiting that's been caused by Gastroparesis should always begin with the most basic of treatment and working the way up to more drastic measures. Simply changing your diet to a diet that's more Gastroparesis friendly can do wonders in reducing nausea and vomiting. Choosing to stick with a low-fat, low-fiber diet will help the stomach's ability to empty at a quicker rate. For more information on the Gastroparesis diet visit:http://www.greensnoteasy.com/2013/01/gastroparesis-signs-symptoms-and-gp-diet.html for more information on the importance of a low-fiber diet for Gastroparesis visit:http://www.greensnoteasy.com/2013/05/what-you-didnt-know-about-fiber.html
The A-B-C's of nausea and vomiting treatments:
· Acupuncture (for information on how acupuncture can relieve nausea visit Mayo Clinic's informational video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWdDMrS8WlA)
· Aroma therapy (For more information visit: http://www.aromatherapy-at-home.com/aromatherapynausea.html)
· Baths- taking a cool bath (not a hot one) can help reduce the symptoms of nausea and help with relaxation.
· Breathing- Learning to breathe deep and breathe slowly can help reduce symptoms of nausea. (For breathing techniques visit http://www.ehow.com/how_2278984_meditate-deep-breathing.html)
· Chewing- Remember to chew your food slowly and chew it well to help aid in better digestion.
· Coconut water- Coconut water can aid in restoring vitamin depletion due to nausea and vomiting and stop the cycle of malnutrition and dehydration causing more nausea and vomiting (see http://healthmad.com/nutrition/seven-benefits-of-coconut-water/ for more information about the benefits of Coconut water)
· Drinks- Drink cool, clear liquids that are thin but vitamin enriched such as apple juice.
· Eating- eat frequent, 6 small meals throughout the day instead of 3 larger meals to avoid having large amounts of food in your stomach at one time.
· Eating and Drinking- foods cold or at room temperature. (http://www.ehow.com/how_5180426_prevent-vomiting.html)
· Fullness- avoid feeling overly full by avoiding binge eating when you're feeling well as binge eating can increase nausea and vomiting and keeps the cycle going.
· Hot tea like ginger tea, ginger ale, and peppermint tea can aid in reducing nausea and when added with honey or sugar, it can help increase your intake of calories.
· If nausea is a problem in the morning, try eating small bites of crackers. Gastroparesis can cause a lack of appetite but it doesn't always reduce the amount of hunger patients feel. Severe hunger can cause nausea and abdominal pain so eating small bits can help regulate those feelings and you back on track.
· Just relax, try not to think about how your feeling and try your best to get your mind on something else. Try watching a movie or reading a book.
· Keep your head and body calm, still and relaxed. Reducing movement can aid in reducing nausea.
· Lighting, trying dimming the lights to avoid light sensitivity with nausea
· Make yourself take small sips of clear liquids to beat dehydration that can irritate symptoms of nausea
· Narcotics- Use narcotic medications like Phenergan to help aid in symptom management in extreme cases of nausea and vomiting but be aware of the effects that narcotics can have on those with Gastroparesis (Seehttp://www.greensnoteasy.com/2013/05/gastroparesis-and-reason-why-prescribed.htmlfor more information). For information on Phenergan being used as a narcotic visit:http://www.drugs.com/mtm/phenergan-with-codeine.html
· Nissan surgery for reflux-http://www.umm.edu/patiented/articles/what_surgical_treatments_gastroesophageal_reflux_000085_10.htm (for risks of the Nissan surgery visit:http://www.livestrong.com/article/141076-nissen-surgery-complications/).
· Opening up the windows- Often fresh air can help aid in reducing nausea
· Queasiness- stop the feeling of being queasy before it starts by keeping a food journal to help you limit foods that may be problematic (For more information visit:http://www.livestrong.com/article/294414-benefits-of-a-food-diary/).
· Rest- Be sure to get the proper rest to help your body fight nausea and vomiting. Not getting the correct amount of sleep can aggravate nausea and vomiting.
· Stay away from sweet, fried, and fatty foods! (Visithttp://www.nauseahelp.com/foods-that-help-ease-nausea-vomiting.html for more information)
· Try to avoid odors that bother you, such as cooking smells, smoke, or perfume.
· Use relaxation techniques like animal therapy or things that you enjoy to help you relax your body and fight nausea and vomiting (visithttp://www.greensnoteasy.com/2013/06/how-horse-named-mia-brought-me-back-to.html for more information).
· Voice your concerns to your doctor if your nausea and vomiting is getting out of hand
· Wear clothing that isn't too tight or constricting around your stomach.
· Walking- For more information on how walking can help aid in digestion and reduce nausea please visit: http://www.livestrong.com/article/356436-how-can-walking-affect-the-rate-of-digestion/

Rat Tail Radish
marricgardensNovember 9, 2012
I like to try somethiong new every year. This year I want to grow Rat Tail Radish. Anyone grow these? The radishes look cool! Marg
I first saw the seeds at Solana seeds. The picture shows the radishes. The write up says they need lots of heat to 'bolt' and that they are good used in stir fries. We get a lot of wire worm damage with the underground ones so I thought this might be an alternative. Sounds good to me! Marg

Runs a little large but great otherwise I am usually a large, I am usually a size 10 or 30 if you going by that sizing. I got a large without trying them on and when I got home they were not tight on my legs at all.... they were loose almost like a straight leg pant. They were also not tight on my butt or waist.... I liked that they weren't tight on my waist so they didn't give a muffin top but I would've liked them tight everywhere else like a legging should be.....I have not gotten to try a medium yet but I have a feeling that I am between sizes.... I think the medium will be too tight on the waist.... Otherwise the material seems great although I haven't really worn them. they have sat in the bag so I could possibly switch for a medium. But they feel soft and feel great on.... they just feel big.... The minus the leather products from express last forever. I wouldn't recommend drying them though.... March 14, 2015
Nice edge to a casual legging Very cute and comfortable legging. This legging may be dressed up or down. A definite must have! February 28, 2015
My new favorite things to put my butt in I'm 5'4, 120 lbs, a size 2, and the XS was absolutely perfect. I love the thickness, stretch, and everything about these leggings really. I doubt you'll regret buying them if you do! February 24, 2015
Comfy Easy to wear leggings with a slight slimming effect. February 17, 2015
Favorite Leggings!! I love these leggings! Great for dressy look or a casual look. The hint of leather on the side gives it a nice edge that I love. I also love the thickness of them which is a plus because it gets cold here during the winter. I don't feel like I need another pair of leggings underneath like I do with some of my other leggings. I already have one pair and I plan on buying another pretty soon. February 13, 2015

Hi everyone! With events and movie and album releases happening so frequently now, there leaves a lingering wonder as to why celebs are barely coming out of their cages. But nonetheless, we managed to snag a few "double tap worthy" images from a few of our favorite fashionistas. Who made this search worth the effort and who didn't put in the effort as far as their style choices are concerned? Let's take a look!
Kicking off things this week is Joan Smalls, who selfied an ensemble showing her more casual side. Dressed in a men's white tuxedo shirt, distressed denim shorts and hair from here to Narnia, I couldn't help but fall in love with how effortless she looked for a summer's day out. Hot!
Keke Palmer kicked it with a friend yesterday at blogger Just Jared's birthday party. She also opted for a casual look by wearing an Alexander Wang crop top, Sandro zippered leggings and a pair of platform sandals. One thing we like about Keke's style is that it's so versatile, but she still manages to always throw her personality in the mix. And aren't her hair and makeup stellar here?
June Ambrose has been pretty busy these days traveling with Jay & Bey, but she still finds time to post a few pics that show her fashionable and playful side. Here, she wore a striped, white day dress, her trusty Converse x Maison Martin Margiela sneakers and an Hermes cuff, all while riding a bicycle. Talk about having fun on the job!
Zendaya Coleman sure knows how to keep things interesting as fas as her sartorial conquests have shown. Here is no different. She took a few snapshots of her modeling a $58 Material Girl dress and a pair of Nike Air Force Ones. And I bet you thought dresses and sneakers didn't mix. Cute look, no?
Gorgeous couple Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade attended a wedding over the weekend, and obviously tried to steal a little bit of the bride and groom's thunder. Gabrielle wore a simple yet stunning red Roberto Cavalli halter dress while Dwayne wore a suit and bow tie with a pair of $745 Christian Louboutin 'Golfito' wingtip sneakers. Hmm… Neither made me gasp in amazement, especially because of Dwyane's shoes (either a lighter colored suit or a more formal shoe), but I'm not mad at either's outfit choices.
Draya hosted her Power Lunch yesterday while wearing a form-fitting strapless bodycon dress from BDonna's (sold out). Draya always chooses the perfect colors for her skin tone, but I feel like the bodycon dress is a little overdone for her. One has to admit, though, that she can definitely wear the heck out of one.
Anna Dello Russo leaves no stone unturned when it comes to playing dress up. The Japan Vogue editrix took quite a few marvelous snapshots while at the Dolce & Gabbana Couture show last week in Capri. And needless to say, she looked absolutely jaw-dropping in a printed floral gown by the fashion house. This begs the question that few people seem to have the answer to. "When will your fave?"
That's all for this week, folks! Who were your top picks?
Draya and Gabby look extremely boring. Zendaya and Anna take it for me here. I actually love Keke as well but something feels a bit off. Seems as celebrities arent really going out as much unless its for something big like an awards show or a concert.
KeKe looks basic as hell. And them shoes? NO!
Zenday looks silly.
Gabby is forever a basic to me. She has not ever wow'd me.
I'm tired of bodycon dresses on juicebox shaped chicks. Draya can wear as many bodycon dresses as she likes. Her body is perfect.
And another thing, Anna Del Russo is the most hideous creature I've ever seen in beautiful designer clothes. HIDEOUS!
@Iloveshoes – so agree on Anna Dello Russo, H.A.M.!
On another note, I like the dress on Draya!
The wedding Gabby and D went to was the DC event of the weekend.
Draya always looks amazing. Go girl
Yea jaw dropping is not the first thing that comes to mind.
Zendaya's choices of dress is always interesting to me!
Gabby is SUCH a beautiful person to look at and YET, THERE SO MUCH LEFT TO BE DESIRED. I really wish she'd give me SOMETHING to look at.
And I yawn at Draya — we get it. You're sexy.
I Like Keke's outfit. It's perfect for a 20 year-old.

Cardiac myocyte apoptosis underlies the pathophysiology of cardiomyopathy, and plays a critical role in the transition from myocardial hypertrophy to heart failure. Angiotensin II (Ang II) induces cardiac myocyte apoptosis and hypertrophy which contribute to heart failure possibly through enhanced oxidative stress; however, the mechanisms underlying the activation of both pathways and their interactions remain unclear. In the present study, we have investigated whether overexpression of the antioxidant protein heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) protects against apoptosis and hypertrophy in cultured rat cardiac myocytes treated with Ang II. Our findings demonstrate that Ang II (100 nM, 24 h) alone upregulates HO-1 expression and induces both myocyte hypertrophy and apoptosis, assessed by measuring terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase dUTP nick-end labelling (TUNEL) staining, caspase-3 activity and mitochondrial membrane potential. Ang II elicited apoptosis was augmented in the presence of tin protoporphyrin, an inhibitor of HO activity, while HO-1 gene transfer to myocytes attenuated Ang II-mediated apoptosis but not hypertrophy. Adenoviral overexpression of HO-1 was accompanied by a significant increase in Ang II induced phosphorylation of Akt, however, Ang II-mediated p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation was attenuated. Inhibition of phosphotidylinositol-3-kinase enhanced myocyte apoptosis elicited by Ang II, however, p38MAPK inhibition had no effect, suggesting that overexpression of HO-1 protects myocytes via augmented Akt activation and not through modulation of p38MAPK activation. Our findings identify the signalling pathways by which HO-1 gene transfer protects against apoptosis and suggest that overexpression of HO-1 in cardiomyopathies may delay the transition from myocyte hypertrophy to heart failure.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 5.7
The extensive line of 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer sedans, Evolution rally cars and Sportback hatch/wagons is collectively the sportiest in the profoundly competitive compact-car segment. There are turbochargers, all-wheel drive (AWD), innovative transmissions and stiff suspensions up and down the line. While there are plenty of more-fuel-efficient choices in the category, and others that offer more features at a lower price, few can match the vibrant driving experience and something-for-everyone model range provided by the Lancer. From the basic DE sedan to the versatile 5-door Sportback and the high-performance Evolution variants, the Mitsubishi Lancer is an enticing proposition for compact-car shoppers searching for something practical that also looks and moves and feels like a sports car.
If you're looking for a sleek, sharp-handling compact car with personality and a comprehensive warranty, you'll find the many Mitsubishi Lancers worth a look. If you want your morning commute to feel like an Acropolis Rally special stage, the Evo is your ride.
While the Lancer's sub-$17,000 starting price is attractive, value-driven buyers may favor the equally priced Hyundai Elantra and Kia Rio for their additional standard features and superior fuel economy.
The only changes to the 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer line are a few additions to the all-wheel-drive SE model, including Thule plug-in roof-carrier accommodation, new-design 16-inch alloy wheels and an available Premium Package with sunroof, Rockford Fosgate audio system and leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift lever.
Driving Impressions With horsepower ratings that range from 148 to 291, engine choice obviously has a huge impact on the Lancer driving experience. Still, the whole line shows an appreciation for response,...balance and involving the driver. A mid-range GT model we tested impressed us with its composure on twisting mountain roads, and with its tenacious grip on the pavement. And a slightly smoother and quieter ES seemed very well suited to daily around-town driving chores, though it still talked to us about the road surface and what the tires were doing. These are all sporting automobiles. Some extremely so. In Evolution guise, the 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer is as stiff, loud, raucous and fast as some real race cars. It's loads of fun but not everyone's idea of everyday transportation. Be sure you know what you're getting into.
The Lancer's hard-drive-based navigation system responds more quickly than traditional DVD-based units. It also features Mitsubishi's new FUSE voice-recognition software for simple multimedia commands.
In Mitsubishi's parlance, it's a TC-SST, that alphabet soup standing for Twin-Clutch Sportronic Shift Transmission. To us it's just an excellent automatic (with manual-shift mode) that rifles through gears faster than we ever could.
The 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer's aggressive and modern exterior styling, sadly, does not extend into the cabin. The interior design looks a little stale and there's too much hard, cheap plastic. The steering wheel does not telescope and most of the seats have no height adjustability, so many drivers will have to adjust to the Lancer driving position rather than vice versa. The GT and Ralliart trims feature the most appealing interior, with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob and deeply bolstered front seats. The Sportback's flexible configuration delivers an impressive 52.7 cubic feet of cargo space.Exterior
The 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer separates itself from the mundane designs of traditional compact cars with its bold stance, aggressive snout and general attitude inspired by rally cars. Mitsubishi says the massive front grille suggests the air intakes found on high-tech fighter jets. The base DE model rolls on 16-inch steel wheels while the rest get alloys, 16-inch on ES and SE, 18-inch on GT, Ralliart and Evo. The Evo models have a gaping, black-mesh front grille, heat-extractor vents on the side, twin tailpipes in back and either a subtle rear spoiler (MR) or outrageous wing (GSR).
The base DE trim is pretty short on creature comforts so we'd start looking at the ES, which adds air conditioning, power door locks, steering-wheel-mounted controls, an auxiliary audio input jack and remote keyless entry. The SE model adds all-wheel drive, a more powerful 2.4-liter engine and heated seats. GT models have 18-inch alloy wheels, a sport-tuned suspension, automatic climate control, FUSE voice-recognition software with Bluetooth and sport seats. The Ralliart boasts a 237-horsepower turbocharged engine, AWD and a 6-speed twin-clutch Sportronic automatic transmission. The high-performance Evolution features a 291-horsepower turbocharged engine with AWD and large Brembo brakes.
Some of the Lancer's most desirable options are a 40GB hard-drive navigation system and the Deluxe Package that includes FAST Key keyless entry and start, Sirius/XM satellite radio (with three months of service), FUSE voice-recognition and a sunroof. An audio upgrade is available, an awesome 710-watt Rockford Fosgate system with a 10-inch trunk-mounted subwoofer and USB port. A Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) serves as the automatic transmission option for the workaday Lancers (with paddle shifters in the GT), while the Ralliart and Evolution offer an excellent 6-speed twin-clutch Sportronic Shift automatic (TC-SST).
Much variety here: The 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer sedan in base DE trim gets a 148-horsepower 2.0 and 5-speed manual gearbox. At the ES level the same engine is paired with either the manual or an automatic CVT (continuously variable transmission). Move up to GT and it's a 168-horsepower 2.4, with manual or CVT. The SE trim uses the 2.4 and offers only the CVT, but with AWD. The Ralliart gets a 237-horsepower 2.0 turbo-4 with a 6-speed twin-clutch Sportronic automated manual transmission and AWD. The racy Evo models have 291 turbocharged horses and either the 5-speed manual (GSR) or 6-speed Sportronic Shift (MR), both with AWD. The Sportback comes in ES trim (with the 2.0) or GT (2.4), with the CVT and front-drive only.

Pros: "Fun to drive, value, styling, rear leg room"
Cons: "on average gas mileage (but as good at the Golf)"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"OK this car is not the latest and greatest in technology but who cares! The car is fun to drive (I have a MT), it looks great and I actually like the simple and sparse interior. I traded in a VW Golf and although these are highly rated the quality was poor, gas mileage not great and even changing a light bulb was a major issue. The Mitsu has more room, is cheaper, drives just as well, has a better warranty and according the UK site "Reliability Index" is the number one rated compact car. Not sure why the experts give this car such consistently mediocre reviews. I guess because it does not push the limits on the latest technology or engineering then it gets slated. Wait until all these cars with fancy electronics and CVT transmissions break down and my MT Mitsu will still be running."

Pros: "Fun to Drive, Efficient, Comfortable, Reliable"
Cons: "Cheap Interior, A bit of tire and road noise"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"I have owned this car for the past 6 years and I love it. It may be a bit weird looking at the outside but its really comfortable for me and my family. The only thing that have happened to the car is that one (or more - really not sure) of the ABS sensors is damaged but it stills works except for the wheels that have the sensor damaged and that the Air Compressor died at 5 years of use but you can replace it only costed 140 dollars with my personal mechanic. One of the bad things of the Lancer is the interior because its pretty much of full hard plastics and that's not great but the car has been reliable comfortable and the best part the 2.4 liter with the 5 speed is an incredible combination and its fun to drive for being a family sedan so that's great and the best part is that the car is very fuel efficient for what it is (and how I drive)"

The voice control also works very well. Honestly, the only complaint I have is that it has several squeaks/rattles/etc., even at such low mileage.

|A precious odd ball
|1 out of 1 user found this review helpful.
Bakemonogatari, is certainly an odd ride, but of course odd could mean many things when It comes to anime. I feel an otaku's definition of odd usually pertains to something along the lines Of "FLCL" or pretty much anything One Piece related. In some cases however I feel A series could be strange purely by the way it's executed. rather than delivering an absurd or obtuse narrative Bakemonogatari actually has a fairly simple setup, a young man cursed with immortality comes across a number Of girls all with there own supernatural ailments. He helps each one of them via the services of a charmingly Ambiguous demonologist(of sorts), who provides all kinds of arcane knowledge with cryptic prose. Yes this is for a lack of A better term a "Harem", complete with a few rather amusing love triangles.
The plot is broken into individual arcs, And Each girl has there own arc, complete with there own intro's. The show's protagonist Koyomi is a high school student and formerly a vampire, he comes across a Long haired beauty named Hitagi, she was cursed by a wondering crab in her youth which for some reason left her body light like a feather, After Koyomi saves her life the two begin a relationship that sometimes culminates with a paper clip to the face, don't ask. The show flirts with horror, sometimes getting quite graphic, but it's all laced with dark humor as well, such as how Koyomi's immortality allows him to experience all kinds of brutal injuries that would normally be a definite end for any other Protagonist. Each arc has a clever twist or two and some of the later payoffs' are surprisingly well built up, There's definitely a strange one of a kind approach to the way bakemonogatari portrays it's world.
What makes this show so unconventional however would most definitely be its incredibly Frenetic dialogue which left me breathless and at times a bit clueless. This is especially problematic if you Live in the states, speak little Japanese, and have to read the subtitles at a clip that made my eyeballs feel Like windshield wipers. What a shame to, because all I wanted was to gawk unflinchingly at this shows gorgeous pastel color's and snazzy use of 3D shading effects, every episode is sprinkled with all kinds of juicy art house trickery and I could not get enough of it.
For some that might be a bit much, and a fair argument could be made That the show's style is more distraction than avant garde. However it's the blazing dialogue that will turn off people the most, so what kept me hooked aside from the aesthetics?. believe it or not the very dialogue that gave me so much whiplash, was also perhaps some of the most amusing snappy and down right devious writing I've Ever seen in the medium. Disorienting as it might be, the dialogue is every bit as charmingly cross as the production design. Bakemonogatari has lot of style, the showy art design and briskly paced dialogue may not Cast it's spell on everyone, I however am forever cursed by this oddity.

Note: In June 2008, Mexico began reimbursing the IVA (value-added) tax charged on purchases made at stores and businesses throughout the country to tourists who arrive by air and cruise ship. Tourists are able to use kiosks at the Los Cabos airport to reclaim the tax they've paid on goods totaling at least $115 (1,200 Mexican pesos). In order to qualify for the refund, the purchases must have been made at approved stores and businesses with credit cards or debit cards issued outside of Mexico, or in cash. Tourists must present their passports when making their purchases and obtain a receipt and an official refund form from the approved merchant. The tax credit will apply to shopping, not to purchases on meals and lodging. Visitors will be able to get half of the VAT in Mexican pesos, up to a maximum of $955 (10,000 Mexican pesos). The rest will be credited electronically to visitors' credit cards or bank accounts within 40 days.

The Steamer Lounge Chair is super well built
Daniel from Las Vegas, NV – Verified Buyer
These chairs are reminiscent of the deck chairs from the steamer ships and they really do look great. I have to say that I was surprised at how solid and well-built these chairs are considering how light weight they feel. Easy to fold too. My last deck chairs were made of some type of mesh strapping, which rotted after a couple years, the Steamer chairs are all wood, they are holding up much better.
Steamed Lounge Chair
Susan from Walnut Grove, CA – Verified Buyer
Love this chair and exactly like the old steamer chairs of the past. It is very sturdy and made well and has brass fittings.......something you won't find in any but the more expensive ones. I found steamer chair pads for both chairs.......I loved the first one so much I bought another. I plan on ordering a couple for our vacation home deck! The price was amazing for a chair of this quality!
Elegant Design - Portable & Convenient
Michael from Elkhart Indiana – Verified Buyer
This Steamer Lounge Chair looks very classy and elegant - it's not super comfortable to sit in for long periods of time - but with the addition of some cushions and a head/neck pillow it is great for soaking up the sun and getting essential Vitamin D :) Easy to fold and pack away when not needed.

In another thread notdku raised a question about a person not being able to communicate properly with 911 operators. So JD made mention about situational awareness and I was wondering well, just how aware are you?
So here is your chance to perform a little task - describe in detail your immediate environment that you may be in while at home, work or running an errand or whatever.
I'll start with an example - A couple of years ago my sister and I met some cousins in NYC for dinner. While i am out and about in the city I look everyone square in the face, check there hands and take notice of there walk/gate. It's just natural for me to do that. Corners and blind spots - I make wide turns and keep my head square with them. So here's what happens, the sister and I leave dinner and head out west along the north side of the street. There are few cars parked on this side and traffic is moving east so I keep close to the buildings. But after crossing an intersection I notice a drunken bum about 30' - 40' ahead. Fortunately this section of sidewalk was not heavily populated so I was able to maintain visual contact with him. He staggered all over from sidewalk to building, back and again. At about 15' from me I moved off the sidewalk and took a path along the curb, the whole time keeping my vision square with the bum. What does my sister do? She stares at me like I'm on fire and walks right by the bum, only when she passes him by and gets a whiff of his odor does she realize how close he was.
This is what I'm talking about folks - are you aware of what's around you?

I only get about 2 to 3% of what's going on, visualy anyways. I get more from what I hear. But most times its the things that don't belong that stand out.
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.
Mark Twain
As I have grown older, my awarenwss has deminished some. In unfamiliar territory, however my head is on a swivel!! This means I'll get mugged in a place I am familiar with, so no problem with 911!
People get the government they deserve.
This is the biggest thing I need to work on. I'm terribly un-observant. I can drive for 10 min. behind a car, it'll turn off and my passenger will say, "That was a weird license pate." I'm like, "Where, I didn't see one?"
That being said, I now make a conscience effort check all the mirrors and look around before getting out of my vehicle, carry stuff in my off hand, and try to anticipate/be aware of walking past corners and vehicles. I 'try' to pay enough attention notice when anyone walks in at work and give them a look over, but am usually too preoccupied with work to notice.
I still notice a lot of details people or places, training just never kicks out no matter what you do. Like they say even the littlest of details can save your life...
"ever man out here has a timer, no one know how long it will take but no one last forever"
Sargent Miller
"cake or death! I'll have the cake then... SORRY WHERE OUT OF CAKE!... so it's or death? I'll have the chicken then please." Eddy Izzard
"so a suppose your going to kill me now? no he is I'm just here to watch"
"you know why guns are better then a woman?... you can put a silencer on a gun."
I never noticed if I actually take in my surroundings. I think I do, but I have never really been put to the test. When walking alone, especially at night, I do tend to observe people's demeanor/how they are dressed, and in my head assess if they can be a threat, if I can take them, and what to do if they try to mug me.
"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty"

I work in an airport,how is that for situational awareness overload!!
I have made it a habit to take notice of all persons, where ever I am. I try to take note of facial expressions, nervousness, anger, sweating, body language. I also try to evaluate the threat potential in individuals. I really really don't like when someone is able to come up behind me with me being unaware of them until it would be too late. My ex-wife would get annoyed when, in a restraunt or other public place, I would want to have my back to the wall, facing the entrance if possible. I also like to make note of all exits, windows, fire alarms, where the restroom is.
Being aware of my surroundings has saved me from injury on many occasions. Seeing potential danger when working on baggage conveyors or jet ways or hvac units, or other equipment, has, I believe, saved a couple of my fingers more than once. Point being, it isn't always human threats you should be aware of.
Good thread, lots of stuff to learn here, Thanks Dog!!
I drive me wife ape sh!t with my situational awareness. I always look for exit points no matter where I go. I always sit facing a crowd with views of the exits. I look at body language and facial expressions and always scan the area I'm in. Even while I'm driving or riding the motorcycle I look for ways out of the situation. I have an out planned for everything in my head. I know the streets in town, places of cover the whole nine yards. I pay attention to everything and everyone. Guess I picked it up in the Middle Eastern sh!thole known as Turkey, Incerlick to be exact.
BEWARE!!! The toes you step on today may be connected to the ass you kiss tomorrow.
PM Tango about his upcoming SHARTFOO courses.
I know I can do much better than I do. I try to notice as much around me as possible. My wife knows now that when we are seated at a restaurant that I will take the seat against the wall facing the doors. I think my biggest threat is when we are in a large store parking lot, that is when I go into a higher level of alert.
One time when we were in Ciudad Nogales with my sister, wife and young son my sister asked one of the many young men who take up positions at the street corners watching for opportunities to make a buck where to find a cafe she went to years ago. He offered to lead us there for a few bucks. We then started going down alleys, side streets, and away from the touristy area. I was starting to get suspicious. I pulled my son close and got my wife's attention to stay near. The whole situation looked like we could be getting set up to be rolled. I kept an eye out for anyone else in the area we were passing through or dead ends. I was on edge for the whole 10 minute walk to find the place. It was spetacular when we got there, an old Spanish mission constructed of large stone with a courtyard and cerveza. I had a couple cold ones to mellow out and then enjoyed the place.

Love to travel, enjoy hosting people from around the world at my place. Have lived in Vt for 28 years.
Anna has completed online and offline ID verification.
Anna's writeup about getting into the place and taking care of her cat were very detailed and helpful. The location to the main part of Middlebury was very convenient and her place is large and sunny. Anna left a map of Middlebury College and provided us with fresh bagels and coffee, which was nice. This was our second experience using Airbnb, so I guess we weren't clear that we were staying in Anna's primary home. We felt like we were "crashing" at someone's house. We're used to having our own space (hotel room, studio, condo, etc.), so it was a bit of a shock to walk in and see Anna's personal items all over (photos, pictures, books, bathrobe, food, jewelry, etc.), plus lots of clutter (stacks of boxes, papers, suitcases, etc.). Luckily we like cats, so taking care of Joy was no problem, but I could see that this might not be okay with everyone. We just didn't feel comfortable hanging out in somebody's space, so limited our time there to mainly sleeping and breakfast.
Anna's place is beautiful and sunny and close to a great restaurant where we had breakfast (storm cafe). There were a bunch of cute shops and places to eat and we wished we could stay longer to enjoy the place and town. Cat is super friendly and wanted to hang, so if you're not into cats, that might be an issue. Didn't actually have a chance to meet Anna but she was able to give us really great instructions and was helpful considering our super last minute booking. Would stay again!
We had a very nice time at Anna Sun's apartment. It is large and airy, comfortably furnished, and comes with a companionable cat. So it was exactly as described. The neighborhood is private, but walkable to town, although we were lazy and drove in. All in all, a lovely place to spend the night and very convenient for the Middlebury College drop off day.
Anna's apartment is very open and sunny and close to downtown. We felt very relaxed. My only complaint is that it was not as clean as we would have liked. Anna warned us that she would not have time to do a thorough cleaning because we had booked with only a day's notice. Other than that, it was pleasant. Anna is very prompt and communicative.
This was an excellent base for our cycling vacation in Vermont. The apartment is bright, spacious and very comfortable and Anna was an attentive and friendly host. Joy, the cat, was also very friendly. We travelled by public transit from Burlington and were within easy walking distance of the town centre. We rented our bikes and helmets from The Bike Center which gave great equipment at good prices and we got excellent advice on where to ride. The cycling was most enjoyable - very quiet roads through beautiful rolling farmland in fall colours.
Anna's apartment is delightfully open and sunny, and Anna was very welcoming. The place worked perfectly for the four of us on a bike tour, and I recommend the place highly. I would note, though, that it felt very much as though we were staying in someone's place who had just left unexpectedly. The dish drainers were chock full of dishes, the apartment wasn't moderately clean but not overly so. We awoke Anna from a nap when we arrived, she came back to get something out of the fridge, and a friend stopped by to pick something up. Again, fine given the nature of our trip, but it might not be such a good fit for people wanting privacy.
A really beautiful spot in a quiet, friendly town. We could not have asked for a better introduction to Middlebury! Thank you, Anna.
It was great to stay at Anna's place. It had everything we needed for a long weekend in Middebury; it was much better than staying at a hotel. Anna made an effort to come meet us, which was really nice. The apartment was close to town center and we could walk to the grocery store. The apartment was clean, and the layout was open which was great for four friends and a baby. Two of us slept in the loft, and the other three slept in the main room. We would all definitely come back to Anna's apartment.
Lovely View and a beautiful place! Anna was prompt, polite and efficient, answering the many questions I had before booking. Excellent stay overall!
Our schedule never meshed with Anna's, so we never actually met, but she was helpful, friendly and very accommodating. The cats are ultra-friendly, and we enjoyed them.
I enjoyed seeing Anna again. She had stayed with me last year as well. It was nice to catch up with her and see how her life has evolved. She was an easy and respectful guest. I wish her well with her present opportunities.
I enjoyed meeting Anna and I am so glad that she was able to stay with me. She has such an interesting life in Middlebury, Vermont. I was happy to have her share it with me. I am glad there are people like Anna who contribute to the good in the world. Easy, and interesting guest. Please come back and visit anytime.
Anna stayed over for 2 nights and really got into the local scene. She is a good guest, clean and tidy and interesting to converse with. I recommend her if you are thinking of hosting her. She is welcome to come back anytime.
Anna was a polite delight. She was only with us a short while. But she was gracious and nice. We'd have her back anytime.
Anna and her friend were great guests. Friendly and tidy. I highly recommend Anna as a guest.
I have known Anna for almost 20 years. Her place is very open and sunny, with a nice deck where you can sit and watch the sun set. The bedrooms are comfortable and quiet. The atmosphere at her place is relaxed. Anna has travelled all over the world, she is an engaging and thoughtful host. I highly recommend her place. 她是我十分欣赏的邻居,对人真诚大方,办事爽快利落,有责任心。她的住所得天独厚,安静漂亮,宽畅光亮,阳台的景观更是百里挑一,令人心旷神怡,住过以后,你一定很爱上明德的。
I have know Anna for 10 years now. When I visit Midd, I always stay at Anna's. It makes me feel like I have a second home in town. Anna's place is gorgeous, can easily accommodate just me or my entire family of 4-5. The view from her apartment is unbelievable! Anna is warm, kind and flexible, a very generous host. I highly recommend Anna and her wonderful place.
I can say from personal experience that you'll love the location, cozy atmosphere, and convenience of Anna's apartment. Of course I'm biased--she's my mom--but I always look forward to coming home and walking into to town, over Chipman Hill, or to the bagel bakery. If you have a chance to meet Anna you'll find her energetic and hospitable. Enjoy it!
I have known Anna for many years. She is a delightful person, well read and cultured. She is multilingual as well. Anna has traveled the world and understands what hospitality means. Her place has tremendous views of the Adirondack mountains. The home is near the college,restaurants and some great shops.

Methodist Church Considers Liberalization on LGBT Issues
BY Michael O'Loughlin
May 04 2014 2:26 PM ET
A rules committee in the Methodist Church is drafting legislation that, if accepted by the church's governing body, would change its stance on homosexuality and welcome LGBT people fully into the church.
At a meeting in Chicago last week, a committee voted to move ahead with plans to propose an amendment to church law that would "fully include LGBTQ persons in the life and ministry of the church," according to the United Methodist News Service.
Any eventual proposal by the committee would be brought to the General Conference in 2016.
Dakotas-Minnesota Area Bishop Bruce R. Ough said that the vote is just the first step of a lengthy process before any changes are made.
According to the article, the committee asked itself, "Can the United Methodist Church sustain deep disagreements regarding human sexuality and still remain in unity?"
The group took into consideration that the Methodist Church has been rocked by public dissent from some clergy and bishops over the church's official view that "the practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching" while supporting certain "rights and liberties for all persons regardless of sexual orientation."
Rev. Mark Teasdale, a professor at Garrett- Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, Ill., said that ""there are people in pain on all sides of this conversation, including the conservative side."
He identified the tension facing the church as it considers how to address growing acceptance of homosexuality in mainstream society.
"One side says we risk being on the wrong side of history, and one said says we risk being on the wrong side of Scriptural holiness," he said.
Religion News Service reported last week that the Methodist Church voted to extend benefits to same-sex partners of its employees, while still barring the church from blessing same-sex unions.
A minister at a Methodist church in Seattle recently made headlines by supporting an openly gay scout leader.

Ex-Maison d'Azur owner opening hyper high end Tosca in old Eden space October 8
Stephan Fortier, the former owner of French Riviera-inspired Maison d'Azur, first at the Astor and then at Angler's, is about ready to open his uber high end Italian spot, Tosca Miami, in the space formerly known as Eden. Allegedly opening on October 8 just up the street from already high end, ironically named Med spot Villa Azur, Tosca Miami, serving "delicacies from the Italian Riviera," is being billed as the "first high end restaurant in Miami. Think French Laundry with a sexy vibe," is what Fortier is telling his trainees. The restaurant has 60 seeats and 18 tables. Pricing is, ready for this? "$500 a head or more." It gets better than that. Word has it that Fortier only wants word of mouth customers and is labelling himself "the most expensive restaurant in the world." Uh, good luck?
