Leoti, pronounced "Lee-oh-TAH," is a city in and the county seat of Wichita County, Kansas, United States.[6] As of the 2010 census, the city population was 1,534.[7]
Leoti was founded in 1885[8] by a company of men from Garden City, Kansas. Two years later, in 1887, it was involved in the bloodiest county seat fight in the history of the American West. The shoot-out was on February 27, 1887, when men—some would say hired gunmen—from Leoti, went to the neighboring, rival town of Coronado and left several people dead and wounded. A small town called Farmer City which was located between Coronado and Leoti, was hoped by some to become the county seat—which would end the fighting. Leoti later won the right to become the county seat and now the two other towns consist mainly of farmland.[citation needed]
The origin of the name Leoti is disputed.[9]
Leoti is located at 38°29′3″N 101°21′28″W / 38.48417°N 101.35778°W (38.484073, -101.357639).[10] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.31 square miles (3.39 km2), all land.[1]
According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Leoti has a semi-arid climate, abbreviated "BSk" on climate maps.[11]

The Chrome Night Series is for those who love a plain black bag, but also like to be seen by cars while riding in the dark. The use of 3M reflective panels allows riders to be seen from up to 100 meters from the light source (such as a car's headlights). Black by day and visible at night, that's the motto of the Chrome Night Series.
The Citizen is a messenger bag that's been offered by Chrome since 1995. From the iconic seatbelt buckle chest strap to the thoughtful layout, the Citizen is very much the same bag today as it was over 15 years ago. Like most messenger bags, the Citizen is worn over one shoulder and features a stabilizing strap to keep the bag from sliding around on your back while you're navigating your way through city traffic. The Chrome Citizen bag is comprised of a large main compartment and plenty of smaller (some zippered) pockets that will perfectly suite all your load-bearing needs. A clip and Velcro closure ensures the contents of your bag remain in the bag and not on the street.
The outer shell of the Citizen is constructed of weatherproof 1000-denier CORDURA® Brand grade nylon that, in and of itself, would do a fine job at protecting the contents of your bag from the elements. By combining this tough CORDURA® outer shell with an independently suspended, waterproof, military grade truck-tarpaulin liner and you can rest assured that the contents of your bag will remain safe and dry.
As with all Chrome bags, the Barrage is Guaranteed for Life.

Comments about Chrome Citizen Night Bag:
I bought this Chrome bag to replace an off-brand messenger bag I had been using. The first thing I noticed was how much more comfortable this bag feels while riding. The heavily padded strap definitely makes a difference, and it can be adjusted tightly enough that the bag doesn't shift around while riding.
The bag has one main compartment which holds a surprisingly decent amount of stuff and also has a handful of smaller compartments for organizing tools, tubes, snacks, etc. The reflective material is also a nice touch.
The bag is very well constructed and durable. I've flung it around and dropped it onto the asphalt more than enough times and it still shows little to no wear.
All-in-all this bag has served me well and I expect it to continue to do so for quite some time.

Last month I shared part of my conversation with Jim Louderback. We covered a great number of video-related topics that day, including the comparison of the online video marketplace to cow paths (trust me, it makes total sense once you hear it) and how we still haven't quite found the direct route to what new media is going to become.
Here's a pretty good quick-glance at Jim's "cow paths" theory, collected from quotes in the video below:
And so if you want to mess with cows, there's a fun thing to do. Move their feed. So let's say you move the feed from here over to here. What happens is the cows they're not smart enough to know that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points. They walk to where the old feed was and then they move over to the new feed... So when it comes to online video in many ways we're still in that cow path model where we're trying to do the stuff that we did on television and we're trying to bring that to Internet video but it's a new medium in lots of ways... And it's – until we figure out that diagonal path and we figure out what this medium is going to be, I think a lot of those trips to where the feed used to be will end up being failures.

|The implementation impact of continuous quality improvement (CQI) on teacher perceptions of CQI categories
|Herrell, Justin Lee, 1970-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|School districts and administrators across the country are struggling to meet the mandates of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Education Act. The mandates and expectations of meeting adequate yearly progress as spelled out by NCLB were clear and the pressure was placed squarely on the shoulders of administrators and educators across the nation. This study was an implementation evaluation of the Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) process, within three schools within a large urban school district, in southern Missouri. The goal of the study was to measure what, if any, change occurred in the perceptions of teachers within the buildings that had implemented CQI as compared to the year prior to CQI implementation and as compared to similar buildings that had not implemented CQI. The study concentrated on teachers' perceptions of the seven characteristics of CQI: Leadership, Strategic Planning, Student/Stakeholder Focus, Information and Analysis, Faculty/Staff Focus, Process Management, and Results; while utilizing data from the Missouri School Improvement Staff Survey. An implementation evaluation was chosen due to the school district being very early in its stages of CQI deployment and to ascertain the extent which implementation has changed teacher perceptions.

The Royal Pavilion - Fascinating Food Facts
Food has always had an important place in life at the Royal Pavilion, from the time of George IV until the present day when the palace is used as a prestigious venue for corporate entertaining and weddings.
* When the Pavilion was transformed into its current Indian style by John Nash in 1825-22 it was compared to a 'large Norfolk-turnip' by contemporary diarist William Corbett.
* George IV was so dedicated to food and proud of the Pavilion's 'modern' kitchens that he once dined in there along with his servants.
* In 1817 renowned French chef Marie-Antoine Carême created an elaborate banquet at the Royal Pavilion comprising of over 100 individual dishes in 36 courses! He also created dishes such as Pike à la Régence especially for the Prince Regent.
* George IV indulged his sweet tooth and passion for food so much that by the time he was 57 he weighed 23 stone.
* Chilled desserts such as ice-cream were one of the most extravagant luxuries of a Regency banquet as the ice often had to be imported from Norway and North America.
* When William IV succeeded George IV to the throne, his wife Queen Adelaide dismissed French chefs in favour of more homely English cooking. Lord Dudley, a guest of both Kings at the Pavilion, complained that with Queen Adelaide as host 'you now get cold pâté and hot champagne'.
Royal Pavillion
Former residence and palace of King George IV. Unique amongst all of England's palaces, it's built with Indian architectural details. Must be seen to be believed!
This is where Sasha was married in Sept. of 2000, I unfortunately, couldn't make the wedding :-(
Royal Pavillion
Weird looking palace, set in pretty garden. To be honest I wasn't going to bother going inside, but I'm glad I changed my mind, because it was worth the £5.20 entrance fee. Had some very grand rooms, and you get to see Queen Victoria's toilet!

GRESHAM - The two victims in a brutal attack near a MAX stop spoke out Tuesday, hoping it may in some way help police catch the men who beat him.
Chris Putnam, 18, said three men jumped them from behind and punched him so hard that he blacked out.
I had my hands above my face, they were hitting me and they were pulling my friend s backpack off of him and punching him, said Putnam.
Jacob Kieper, 19, tried to fight off the men but both he and his friend were knocked to the ground.
I guess they were pulling my backpack off of me, so I couldn t put my hands up really, said Kieper.
Then, the three attackers grabbed their cell phones, and a backpack with an iPod and a laptop computer and ran off.
TriMet video surveillance cameras captured images of the three suspected attackers. Police described the suspects as black males in their early 20s. They released the video, hoping it may lead to tips that help them catch the criminals.
Watch: TriMet video 1 |Video 2
The suspects followed Putnam and Kieper when the got off the MAXtrain at the E. 172nd and Burnside stop, just after 7 p.m. on February 12. Then, they jumped them about two blocks away, police said.
Putnam said he had noticed that the men were watching them, but didn't really think anything of it.
It just makes me feel like I have to trust my instincts more, Putnam said afterwards.
The best I can hope for is that they get caught, said Kieper, whose jaw was broken.
Anyone with information was asked to call the Gresham Police Tip Line at 503 618-2719.
Other attacks near MAXand TriMet bus stops
Last week, two men harassed and robbed a 34-year-old man on the MAX platform at Northeast 7th Avenue and Holladay Street. Then, a 26-year-old man tried to stop the attack and he, too was robbed and assaulted.
The day before, a Good Samaritan trying to help a woman who was being mugged at a SE Portland TriMet bus shelter was shot at, police said.

Infosys Ltd's former directors and investors T V Mohandas Pai and V Balakrishnan sought a Rs 11,200 crore ($1.8 billion) buyback by India's second-largest software services company to boost the stock's value.
Infosys should pay as much as Rs 3,850 a share, Balakrishnan, who resigned from the company's board in December, and Pai, who left the board in 2011, wrote in a letter dated July 29 addressed to the board. Sarah Gideon, a spokeswoman for the software exporter, confirmed the letter was received. The
price is 9.6% premium over Tuesday's closing price.
N R Narayana Murthy, who returned as chairman in June 2013 to help revive growth, boosted margins and handed control of the software exporter he co-founded to chief executive officer Vishal Sikka on August 1. Shares of Infosys have risen 0.8% this year, compared with bigger rival Tata Consultancy Services Ltd's 16% gain.
"There is a dramatic valuation dis-connect in the market place and this needs to be corrected," Balakrishnan, Pai and D N Prahlad, a former senior vice president, wrote in the note.
The board of Infosys often gets letters from shareholders, Gideon wrote in an e-mail.
"Should there be any development that will impact our shareholders, we will immediately inform the regulatory bodies and shareholders on priority," she said.
Balakrishnan was the chief financial officer at Infosys for six years until October 2012. He was later made the chairman of unit Lodestone Holding AG, a consultancy based in Switzerland.
He is currently the chairman of Exfinity Fund, a venture capital fund based in Bangalore.
Pai was the head of human resources development before he left in June 2011. He had earlier also served as CFO. Infosys had 275.4 billion rupees in cash and short-term investments as of June 30, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The three former directors have also proposed Infosys should announce an ongoing buyback program of as much as 40% of the previous year's profit "on a consistent basis."
The company posted a net income of Rs 10,600 crore in the year ended March. --Bloomberg

Euro NCAP awards Mercedes M-class five stars
The Mercedes M-class has won the top crash safety rating with five stars from the respected Euro NCAP testing agency. The M-class is equipped with six airbags, belt tighteners, belt force limiters and crash-responsive NECK-PRO headrests, as well as the PRE-SAFE passenger safety system which helped it to achieve a top rating.
Mercedes' PRE-SAFE passenger protection system uses the driver's braking and steering behaviour to recognise critical situations and can then deploy preventive safety measures before an accident occurs. It activates the reversible belt tighteners, closes the side windows and optional sliding-tilting sunroof and alters the front passenger's seating position.
During tests, analysing the effect of PRE-SAFE in the M-class, there was a 40 per cent reduction in forces to the neck and head of passengers, with the reversible belt tighteners (which use electric motors) playing a key role. If an accident is prevented the belts loosen; however if an accident does occur, the M-class safeguards passengers with its airbags, pyrotechnic belt tighteners (for the front and outer rear seats) and belt force limiters (for the front and outer rear seats) that protect occupants, in combination with the robust passenger cell.
Euro NCAP is the European New Car Assessment Programme. Its tests (front impact with 40 per cent offset, side barrier and pillar impact) cover common types of car accidents.
Keywords: Mercedes M-class, Euro NCAP awards

Before you try to run out and find auto repair body shops near you, take a moment to read through this informative article and consider including some of my personal experience as a mechanic into your own personal deliberation about what constitutes the best auto body shops in business.
When you break things down, there are actually two forms of garages in company: great ones and poor ones. The ideal place to begin when attempting to scope out a possible body shop is the owner. In poor vehicle body garages the owner generally instructs the workers to provide the feeling that your automobile is in worse condition then you definitely believe, or that something is broken and must be repaired immediately. You can find scratch repair at colorrecon.
The main reason why the majority of owners are concerned with ripping people off, particularly in a body shop, is as the sole two motives automobiles ever go in there's for repairs on crash damage or for custom work; this means the owners of the store practically don't see the owners of vehicles too frequently and don't see the worth in repeat business, they'd rather make an effort to squeeze every dime from the while you're there.
The right body shop you can ever discover is where the owner seems to develop long-term relationships with their customers.

Google Mobile Update – Is Your Site Mobile Friendly?
Google has announced that on April 21st, 2015 they are making a major update to their mobile search algorithm that will use mobile optimization as a ranking signal. This will result in more mobile friendly sites showing up in mobile search results. According to Google, this "will have a significant impact in our search results". It's not often that Google confirms elements of their algorithm that impact search results, so this is kind of a big deal. Is your site ready?
How the Google Mobile Update Could Impact Your Traffic
If your site is mobile friendly – either designed to be responsive on all devices or you have a specific mobile version of your site (i.e. m.domain.com) – you could see a boost in organic traffic from mobile searches if your competitors don't have mobile friendly sites.
If your site is not mobile friendly, you could see a decrease in organic traffic from mobile searches if your competitors have mobile friendly sites.
Is Your Site Mobile Friendly? Use this Test to Find Out
Google has created a guide for mobile friendly websites, which includes an easy mobile friendly test where you simply enter your domain and it will crawl your site to see if it's mobile friendly. It will show you how Google sees your page when they crawl it, and let you know if it's mobile friendly or not. If not, they will provide reasons why. Common issues are:
- Text too small to read
- Links too close together
- Mobile viewport not set
- Uses incompatible plugins
- Blocked resources
Google also provides a mobile usability tool in their webmaster tools program that shows you which pages on your site have mobile usability issues, and the specific errors for each page.
Why Your Site Should Be Mobile Friendly
- More Traffic. More and more people are using their phones and tablets to access the internet, and more searches will be done on mobile devices in 2015 than on desktop, especially for local results. As a result, more and more traffic to your site will come from mobile. Over the last year our clients have seen a +100% increase in mobile traffic after their sites were made responsive. After Google's April 21st algorithm update, this will only increase for sites that are mobile friendly.
- Better User Experience. We've all experienced it. You're on your phone and you land on a site that isn't mobile friendly. You have to expand the viewport so you can see the tiny text, drag the screen left and right so you can see all the content, and then you bounce. Is this the experience you want your visitors to have? Google doesn't, and is already notifying mobile searchers if a site is mobile friendly or not in the search results. If a site is mobile friendly, they include a "mobile friendly" annotation in the search results. If not, they include a red "not mobile friendly" annotation. Do not give your visitors a reason to click on your competitor's site because they are mobile friendly and you're not.
- More Conversions. At the end of the day, it's all about conversions. Whatever the action is you want people to take on your site, it's much more likely they will complete it from a mobile device if your site is mobile friendly.
We recommend making your site responsive to all devices, rather than creating a separate mobile site. The benefit is that you don't have to maintain and update two different versions of your site, and responsive is more cost effective.
If your site isn't mobile friendly, we can help. It's an affordable process that in most cases will pay for itself in increased traffic and conversions. In our experience, 85% of client sites have been made responsive for $1,000 – $3,000, which will address the major factors in making a site mobile friendly.
3 Ways to change how mobile affects your business
Mobile use is on the rise, and Google is doing plenty to keep up with the demand. Recently Google rolled out some changes that will make marketing to your mobile audience easier. Not only will marketing to mobile users be more efficient, but you can also market FROM your mobile device! Here are 3 ways to "up your mobile game."
1. Mobile Manager
Google rolled out the AdWords Express mobile app just a few months ago, and the app has received some great feedback. The new app allows you to do a number of tasks right from your Android or iOS smartphone. The tasks we found most useful are being able to: Create or edit an ad, edit a budget, and edit audience settings.
Sometimes it's hard to stay on top of managing your AdWords account if you have a busy schedule. Imagine being away from your desk with some downtime, and instead of playing a game of Angry Birds, you can be proactive with your AdWords account instead. Also, if you download the Google My Business app, you can view your top stats for the month. Talk about staying productive!
2. Mobile Friendly Differentiation
Now, imagine you clicked a link from a Google Search, only to find yourself on a page that requires a magnifying glass to see it. Good luck if you actually want to click anything on the page without thumbing the wrong link. Google is rewarding sites that are mobile-friendly by adding a tag to the ad that says "Mobile-friendly." This tells your potential visitors that they will have no problem viewing the page on their smartphone. The Googlebot automatically labels your page as "Mobile-friendly" if it meets certain requirements. So, make sure to avoid using uncommon software for mobile devices, like Adobe Flash, and look into having your website set up with a responsive design. This allows your site to be optimized in a way that makes it view-able on a smaller screen as well as a desktop, by re-sizing the content based on the screen size.
3. Google Shopping for Mobile
Google is seeing a huge increase in shopping searches coming from mobile devices. This prompted them to make Google Shopping a better experience. Now more information can be seen on product pages such as detailed product information, product reviews from customers, multiple image sources, and a 360 degree view of the product. Tablets also have the visibility of local merchants inventory of products, so customers can run to the store for purchase, instead of waiting for it to be shipped.
Integrate these mobile friendly features into your business, and you'll be sure to see results.
Smart Solutions Travels to SEMA
Here at Smart Solutions, we're big fans of all things automotive. So when it was time for the SEMA Show this year, it was a no brainer for us to go. With automotive clients including leaders in aftermarket performance exhaust, a garage equipment manufacturer and retailer, and aftermarket RV and truck parts manufacturer and distributor, we have an obligation to stay current with industry trends. Attending the show also gave us an opportunity to catch up with all of our automotive clients in one location. This year's show was all about the new Mustang. Ford went all out and displayed 50 Mustangs, each representing a specific model year of their 50 year history. It was great to see how the Mustang has changed over the years into the aggressive, yet refined machine it is today. One of our Ecommerce and PPC clients, Borla Exhaust, brought with them a 2015 Mustang outfitted with a polished stainless steel Borla exhaust… which was simply stunning!
Now, I've mentioned we love cars right? Well, we also have a passion for craft beer. So when we saw that Kia and Ballast Point Brewery teamed up to make a car that's also a bar, we had to check it out. This Kia Sedona was modified and fitted with two taps and a bar top right out of its back!
We can't leave out mentioning the Strati by Local Motors. A car that was printed – yes, I said printed – during the show. Using a cutting edge technology referred to as additive manufacturing, Local Motors was able to: print the car in 44 hours; spend an additional 10 hours of milling; and then handle final assembly by the Local Motors team. What is truly amazing, is that the car was able to be driven out of the convention center onto the Las Vegas Strip!
For SEMA not really being considered a car show, they definitely act like one. We can't wait to show up for next year's show!
Do you have an automotive or ecommerce website, and need help with digital marketing or web design? Be sure to connect with us, we would love to help.

SMX Advanced 2014 Top Takeaways
It's been a few weeks since the SMX conference took up residency in Seattle focusing on advanced search marketing tactics. As with most conferences, it has taken us a couple weeks to wrap our heads around all the great information we received over the two days.
This year's conference definitely did not disappoint and was jam packed with educational sessions following three tracks:
- Paid Search
- Local, Social and Mobile.
Topics, Conversion and Engagement didn't have their own tracks, however they was covered in many sessions and we received a lot of great, applicable takeaways we thought were worth sharing. While the other three tracks were focused on getting traffic to your site, it's just as important to learn how to better engage users once on the site – thus getting them to convert. Which is the whole point, right?
- Quality Content is King: Average word count has increased by 12% in the last year. Focus on user intent rather than keywords. Where are they in the buying cycle? What information are they looking for? Provide them with content that answers their questions and moves them along the buying cycle to conversion. Don't focus on one keyword per page, include relevant keywords to the topic to capture long tail searches and show authority on the topic.
- Links Still Matter: Quality over quantity. More internal links aren't necessarily a better user experience. Pass authority to your most important pages, and the majority of your content should be accessible within 3 clicks. External links are still important, but they should be from relevant sites with good authority. A few good links are better than a lot of poor quality links.
- Voice is Changing Search: Google's head of web spam, Matt Cutts, gave a demo of how voice commands are changing search. The first search may have your target keyword, such as "Where is the Space Needle?" But each question after that doesn't – "How tall is it", "What restaurants are close to it", "How about Italian?" Each question is answered by an audio response; the user doesn't see search page results until the last query. This is especially relevant to local businesses.
- Ideas for Ads. Most come from brainstorm sessions with your team or agency. Broaden focus to include customer reviews, blog comments, social media engagement, recorded phone calls, search query data. What are your customers already saying about you? What are they searching for on your site? Compile data in spreadsheet, run keyword density analysis to see what comes up the most.
- Conversion per Impression. Use this as an ROI metric.
- Target Users by Browser and Device Operating Systems. Safari clicks are twice as valuable as other browsers, IOS has better conversions than Android.
LOCAL, SOCIAL and MOBILE
- Mobile Page Load Speed is Crucial. Search engines want to give users best experience. Your content may be better, but if they have to wait for page to load to read it they'll leave, and search engines will return a better result (not yours).
- Mobile Ad Auction is Broken. No mobile ad impression share below position 4. CTR 5% for position 1, drops to 2.5% for position 2. 86% of mobile time is spent in apps.
- Mark Up Mobile Forms with Auto Complete. Much better user experience if they have to type less on mobile device which can lead to better conversions.
- Scroll = engagement. Bounce rates are recorded when a user lands on a page and leaves before going to second page. This isn't an accurate reflection of engagement. If someone is reading an article and scrolling down the page, they are engaged with your content. If they click to watch a video on the page they are engaged. Use event tracking in Google Analytics to capture video views and scrolling.
- Test Small Design Changes. No more major redesigns. Test different page elements to improve conversions. Work on header, footer, navigation, product page elements and category page elements individually. Constant testing will result in subtle changes and improved design on an ongoing basis.
- Don't Follow Conversion Best Practices. Your audience is different, and what works for others may not work for you. A more savvy audience will be turned off by large buttons and strong calls to action; they don't want to feel like they are being marketed to. Security symbols can trigger anxiety rather than reassurance.
- Use Mobile Specific Calls-to-Action. No downloads, call instead.
Were you at the conference? Now that you've had some time to digest it all, we'd love to know what your top takeaways were! Please leave them in the comments below.
Google Updates: My Business, Shopping Ads, Panda 4.0
It seems that almost every week there is a new or anticipated update from Google. Whether it's an algorithm update for hummingbird, penguin or panda – or changes related to their many 'products' – one thing is for certain, Google's practices are always changing.
The last 6 weeks has brought a variety of changes to many of the services we use at Google – and there have also been announcements for upcoming changes. So this is the first of many blog posts, to keep you up-to-date in the ever-changing world of Google's practices and what you can do to protect your organic search rankings.
Google My Business
- A little over a week ago, Google launched My Business. A much easier way to manage Google Search, Google Maps and Google+ business accounts, which previously were managed separately under Google Places for Business and Google+.
- Now updating summer business hours, reading and responding to reviews, or posting photos on Google+ can take place from one dashboard. What's even cooler is Google now provides insights and a snapshot of analytics right in your main dashboard, making it a great place to regularly check how many people are finding and engaging with your business on all Google properties.
Google Shopping
In the name of user experience, Google is looking to improve on Google Shopping by enforcing and adding new feed specifications that will become mandatory, September 30, 2014. Here is what's new:
- Google is moving to make their Shopping Feeds much more mobile-friendly by allowing ads to link to a separate mobile landing page.
- The Image Quality Recommendations are getting a refresh and Google is providing more tips and details on how to create images that will catch visitor's attention.
- Google Shopping is expanding their support of Merchant-Defined Bundles, making it easier for merchants to specify and display products that are sold together as a bundle.
- To help make posting easier and more straightforward, the feed specification, coming September 30, will specify how many characters can be used for most attributes. Taking the guess work out of Google Shopping Ad writing.
- Google also has used this opportunity to update their Landing Page Content Policy giving users more background details, examples, explanations and guidelines for landing page URLs.
For more information about the 2014 Google Shopping Feed Update, you can visit https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/3097504
Algorithm Updates: Hummingbird, Panda and Penguin
Although this algorithm update was released almost a year ago, it is still incredibly relevant and important to keep in mind when optimizing content and sites. Since hummingbird is all about semantics – or the meaning behind what users are searching for – the key to optimizing for hummingbird is creating great content that your audience is searching for; finds useful; and enriches their overall experience.
Panda 4.0 was release around May 20, 2014 and has been getting a lot of buzz in the last few weeks, most notably because of the alleged 80% drop in organic visibility for Ebay.com after a speculated algorithm update. Since this update is relatively new, experts and the SEO community are still analyzing why certain sites are being hit and what to do about it. One aspect of Panda is penalizing sites that have duplicate content in an overall attempt to be vigilant against spam. Unfortunately, this penalizes both the sites that are the true authority and original publishers of content as well as the sites that "steal" and reuse another website's content. Panda also targets sites with 'thin' or poor quality content and does its best to make sure these sites don't rank highly in search results
What to do to make sure your site isn't affected by Panda:
- As with hummingbird, create content your audience is searching for and will be useful to them
- Always create unique content. If you are aware of another site using your exact content, consider reaching out to them and asking them to remove the duplicate content for the sake of both site's rankings.
- Create rich content. More content doesn't always mean better. Make sure that you are covering your topic and it's laid out in a way that is useful for the visitor. Use visuals – photos, videos, graphics and infographics enrich the user's experience.
- Use appropriate terminology for your topic. This is one of the ways to how Google you are the authority on a topic and should be ranked accordingly. Don't repeat the same keyword over and over, broaden your keyword focus to capture long tail searches that are relevant to the topic.
The Google Penguin algorithm targets sites trying to boost their search results by unauthentic and unnatural link building. Although many in the SEO community have been buzzing about the effects of a possible Penguin update in May, Google maintains there was no update. Nevertheless, being aware of this algorithm is very important when creating link building strategies. It's been 9 months since the last Penguin update (October 2013), and at the recent SMX Advanced conference Google's head of web spam, Matt Cutts, teased that they were overdue in releasing an update. Stay tuned!
What to do to avoid getting penalized by the next Penguin update:
- If you've engaged in questionable link building tactics, reach out to those sites and ask for the links to be removed. At the same time, continue to create quality, link worthy content to increase your percentage of good links.
- If you hired someone to build links for you and aren't sure where they are coming from, or if they are good or bad, use one of the many SEO tools to catalogue all your backlinks. Go through them and look for any domains that are obviously sketchy and would trigger a red flag from Google. Reach out to those sites and ask for the links to be removed.
- To disavow or not? SEOs are split on this question, but if you find that you have a large percentage of sketchy links and can't get them removed with direct outreach, you may want to proactively disavow them to avoid being hit with a penalty, as explained by Matt Cutts in the video below:
Google Is Judging You by Local Citations
Similar to how scientists are judged by the number of times their work is cited by others. Google is using local citations as a way to decide the validity of your business. These local citations, which can include your business name, address and other information, can directly improve your local search marketing results. This is because Google is assuming that more queries have local intent.

Heartbleed Bug: What It Is & What You Should Do
As many of you are probably aware, a bug was recently discovered in the OpenSSL software used by roughly 2/3 of the sites on the Internet for SSL encryption. This is known as the Heartbleed bug. You are likely wondering if your site hosted by Smart Solutions is affected by this problem. That answer depends on the type of site(s) you have with us. It is likely that you are not affected, but there are a few cases where it may be.
Sites that are not affected:
- Sites that do not use SSL (encryption);
- Site that use SSL for a secure Pixelsilk form (donations, etc..);
- Site that use SSL for a secure Impact form;
- BV Commerce stores that use SSL.
Sites that may have been affected:
- Magento or WordPress sites that use SSL;
- Custom sites hosted on a Linux server using SSL.
The above had software versions that included the Heartbleed bug. We have already taken the necessary steps to patch the problem and the site is no longer susceptible to the Heartbleed bug.
What should you do about your site?
While there is not yet a way to determine if the bug was exploited, the likelihood is small. However, to be on the safe side, you should immediately change any passwords that you used to log on to the administration area of the site if it is in the affected list above.
What should you do personally?
You should immediately change your passwords on any of your social media, email or other sites that were affected by the Heartbleed bug. A list of known sites can be found at Mashable. As a safety precaution, you should also change the affected password that you used on unaffected sites.
Password Best Practices
In general, you should use unique passwords for each site to avoid one password compromising all of your accounts. We know this puts more of a burden on you to track those passwords; however it is the best way to stay safe. If you do not want to do that, please at least follow that advice for any sensitive sites such as banks, email, etc..
It is also recommended that you change your passwords on any sensitive sites at least once per year. This is simply a precaution but can save you a lot of headaches if there is a compromise.
In closing, if you have any questions about the your site or you do not know which category your site falls into from the above list, please do not hesitate to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or via telephone at 541-388-4298.

Big Takeaways from SearchFest 2014
SearchFest is always a conference that we look forward to attending. It's a full-day of insightful and powerful presentations on trends that are shaping Search Marketing and Social Media. The conference organizing body, SEMpdx's, original mission was to "put search on the map in Portland, and Portland on the map in search." Not only have they done this, but they give firms like us, fresh ideas to help our clients better compete online.
Two members of our SEO team attended this year's conference held at the Sentinel/Governor Hotel in Portland on February 28. They brought back some great information and some takeaways that we thought we would share with you.
1st Takeaway: Mobile – 65% of all searches start on a mobile phone. Even though a prospective customer may convert somewhere else in the sales funnel, mobile is often their first contact with your business.
Helpful tips: Put calls-to-action close to someone's thumbs and at the bottom of the scroll; and use shorter headlines and Meta data for mobile search results (50 – 60 characters for title tags, 115 for descriptions).
2nd Takeaway: Brand Marketing – All marketing is becoming loyalty marketing to keep consumers engaged with a company's brand. There's a shift taking place from marketing to consumers, to enabling ambassadors to market for your brand. The future is not going to be about marketing just to personas, but marketing to actual individuals. Social media integrations are encouraging and enabling this through their access to personal profile data. And Google's Analytics Universal is enabling greater customized metric tracking.
3rd Takeaway: SEO & Higher Conversions – Industry best practice is moving away from a specific keyword strategy to a broader topic/landing page focus. Also having a solid content marketing strategy is crucial for generating links.
Helpful tips: Use pop-up when prospect is exiting your site and offer them a coupon or incentive to capture their email (this strategy saw a 60% return); and after getting their email, set-up an automated drip email campaign to get them to convert.

Random Axe - Random Call
Artist: Random Axe
Producer: Black Milk
Album: Random Axe
Avg Rating: 3.2 ( 5 votes )
Since Duck Down Records has so much talent on their roster, it makes perfect sense that three of their dopest artists have come together to bring us some raw hip-hop. The latest single from Random Axe, comprised of Black Milk, Sean Price and Guilty Simpson is entitled Random Call, a soulful yet heavy mixture that will surely get any hip-hop head bobbin. Produced by Black Milk the piano riff over the heavy drums gives you that real rap feel and compliments the three emcees perfectly. Although not as hardcore as their other release Hex, the song is a lot smoother, full of the heavy punchlines and nothing short of that classic Duck Down sound. Like Hex, fans can look forward to a video for this in early June directed by the talented Todd Angkasuwan. Random Axe's self-titled album is out June 14 (via Duck Down Music).

With all the controversy over what jazz is--and, more to the point, what it isn't--proprietary ownership often seems more about seemingly insurmountable cultural concerns.

If there's a singular specific approach that Scandinavian musicians have brought to jazz, it's a temporal elasticity where time is often fluid, whether or not it's clearly defined.

The side stays on the deck were constantly angled the wrong way when either raising or lowering the mast. Consequently the "T" bolt kept getting bent. I was afraid that constant bending would eventually break it at the worst time...under load. I also didn't like the turnbuckles that the boat came with. Also the sidestay turnbuckles were too close to each other, so they were always interfering with each other when adjusting. So I decided to cut the old turnbuckle off the cable & put 4 nicer ones in place. Since I didn't want to replace the whole cable (did I mention I'm economical?
) I bought some 1/4 316 stainless chain & used 3 links on each sidestay to lengthen the sidestays to make up for the cable I had to cut off. It also brought the turnbuckles higher up on the rigging so they don't interfere with each other anymore while adjusting, and having chain in place here prevents the rigging from being angled the wrong way when moving the mast up or down, the chain just acts like a chain for 3 links!
This is called a "Chain Plate" isn't it??

Decent HTIB under $400

Re: Decent HTIB under $400
Sony is actually a bit notorious for making bad systems in the audio scene. Seriously, everything from their receivers to their speakers are horrible.
A setup I tried once, that can be had for your price range if you look around, was a Pioneer VSX-816-k and a set of Polk RM6750 speakers. I think I found that receiver for $200 at bestbuy and the speakers were $200 on sale at fry's once. The RM6750 has a silk dome tweeter on the center speaker, so you can get some fairly good details out of it. The subwoofer is weak though, so you won't hear it much if you have a larger room, but it will work fine in a smaller room. The sub also doesn't make use of a dedicated LFE channel, which is also lame. But if you have a larger room, you probably want something larger than satellite speakers anyways and this setup wouldn't work well for you. In fact, nothing for $400 would work well for you.
I returned the whole setup because I was willing to spend more, but for the price it is a pretty good setup. The receiver is a decent low budget one though, so if you ever want it to sound better, over time you can just replace the speakers for better ones. I don't think they make that particular model anymore though, the new version of that one is the VSX-817 I think, and it is in the same price range.
For $400 you aren't going to get HDMI though (at least, not if the setup hasn't cut some major corners elsehwere anyways.) If you want HDMI, you'll need to spend a minimum of $300 on the receiver (this is what I spent on my current Onkyo TX-SR605, though that price is relatively unheard of for this receiver, you can get other HDMI receivers in that range.)

Cool site. I just joined up.
Nice work rondog!
I believe I read somewhere that flash den reviews a file every year and determines whether it should still be up, or whether price should be adjusted, etc. That could have something to do with it as well. Does anyone know if that is correct, or if I am thinking of some other site?
There is no predefined time, but yes, periodically they do.
at uni, there was one guy who was really talented but basically did no work because he was addicted to WOW . Yep, 3 years and 20k+ down the drain. I have to stop myself at least once a month buying an xbox or ps3 because i know i spend waaaaaay too much time in front of a screen as it is.
I won't buy a gaming system either because I know exactly what will happen: nothing. If I buy one, I will do nothing.
There was a South Park episode that summed that game up pretty well….
I laughed so hard I cried at that episode. Especially at the part where Cartman's mom… helps him use the bathroom.
Holy cow. When I saw this post yesterday I almost deleted it due to the fact that the message just said… 1. How on earth did 1 generate so much discussion! Oh, that makes me laugh.
Back to the topic at hand, I agree. The answer is 47.
two very easy ways fd could help authors out:The newsletter isn't dead. In fact, the one for February is being put together as we speak.
1) put the featured tab as the default (where the blog is)2) start sending newsletters out again, i can`t believe the don`t do this anymore, they are losing so much money not doing this.
indeed it would be, now can you pass the author test… no cheatingHow embarrassing! What if I don't pass? Am I automatically fired?!
Whew, I passed. You can now send me emails through my profile.
ok here is a question… these people who are buying these files of ours and uploading them to link not removed because it wasn't there … are they actually doing anything illegal…? I am totally against it, I am just asking…Yes. Also, thanks for not using a link!
The reason why I started this thread is not to go over this again, but to give answers to the other threads and peoples questions. If we decide what to do here, we wont have to go over it again. So, anyone from staff want to sum up what we as authors could do, and what staff does? This way, everyone will know what is going on. Thanks for everyones attention.I understand that and I am not trying to get on you for starting the thread. I know you are trying to get a solution, not make problems. Thank you and everyone else who is trying to find solutions.
Here is the process(sorry it's so vague, but it needs to be):When the staff receives a complaint, they investigate, contact the offender, and 99% of the time that takes care of that specific problem. I and other staff members periodically troll the repeat offender's sites and report anything we find, but most of the reports come from users.
Here is the summary of what we can do: 1) Seek and report any violations. 2) Contact me directly if you have any ideas that may help. 3) When these posts do occur, don't post links to ANY sites or give ANY indication of how to find them.
Again, don't think that I am trying to shut you guys down. You are the good guys! This situation just plain sucks and I am sorry for that.
Chuck is right, you don't need to give support to those who don't appear to have bought your file. That is why we have systems in place telling you whether or not the person has bought your file.
As far as fighting the problem goes, I promise the staff is just as concerned about it as the authors. Much of the support staff's time is spent stomping out violations. I hope there is a better solution than just fighting each one on a case by case basis. I am open to and welcome new ideas if you have them. If you do have a potential solution please email it to me instead of starting a new thread. I promise I will study it, take it seriously, and implement it if it will really help the problem. All posting about it where everyone can see does is worsen the problem. I know some of you guys get frustrated that these post keep getting squashed, but I hope you understand the reasoning.
He also gets an official FlashDen high 5. He is the first and quite possibly the last to receive this great honor.

Your reporter went out to the backyard to see what the cat was looking at in the iris clump. As I got closer I heard the rattle then saw the rattlesnake. I shooed the cat away, got the dogs in the house, yelled SNAKE-SNAKE to Lee and grabbed a shovel, all in about 10 seconds! I jumped up in the flowerbed and pinned the snake between the iris rhizomes and the railroad tie. Lee arrived as I severed the snake into three parts! It had three buttons. I wonder if it was the same snake that was out front? Are ...

Plasmodium chabaudi limits early Nippostrongylus brasiliensis-induced pulmonary immune activation and Th2 polarization in co-infected mice
- Equal contributors
1 Institute of Immunology and Infection Research, School of Biological Sciences, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, EH9 3JT, UK
2 Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey, 08544, USA
BMC Immunology 2009, 10:60 doi:10.1186/1471-2172-10-60Published: 1 December 2009
Larvae of several common species of parasitic nematodes obligately migrate through, and often damage, host lungs. The larvae induce strong pulmonary Type 2 immune responses, including T-helper (Th)2 cells as well as alternatively activated macrophages (AAMφ) and associated chitinase and Fizz/resistin family members (ChaFFs), which are thought to promote tissue repair processes. Given the prevalence of systemic or lung-resident Type 1-inducing pathogens in geographical areas in which nematodes are endemic, we wished to investigate the impact of concurrent Type 1 responses on the development of these Type 2 responses to nematode larval migration. We therefore infected BALB/c mice with the nematode Nippostrongylus brasiliensis, in the presence or absence of Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi malaria parasites. Co-infected animals received both infections on the same day, and disease was assessed daily before immunological measurements were taken at 3, 5, 7 or 20 days post-infection.
We observed that the nematodes themselves caused transient loss of body mass and red blood cell density, but co-infection then slightly ameliorated the severity of malarial anaemia. We also tracked the development of immune responses in the lung and thoracic lymph node. By the time of onset of the adaptive immune response around 7 days post-infection, malaria co-infection had reduced pulmonary expression of ChaFFs. Assessment of the T cell response demonstrated that the Th2 response to the nematode was also significantly impaired by malaria co-infection.
P. c. chabaudi co-infection altered both local and lymph node Type 2 immune activation due to migration of N. brasiliensis larvae. Given recent work from other laboratories showing that N. brasiliensis-induced ChaFFs correlate to the extent of long-term lung damage, our results raise the possibility that co-infection with malaria might alter pulmonary repair processes following nematode migration. Further experimentation in the co-infection model developed here will reveal the longer-term consequences of the presence of both malaria and helminths in the lung.

Second City Citizens - Everyday People
Artist: Second City Citizens
Producer: The Rarity
Album: SpliffNotes
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 10 votes )
Who are the Second City Citizens? Well, the short answer is, they're Everyday People like you or me…except they're better at rapping/singing, more fashionable and significantly fly-er overall. So I guess they're not all that much like us. Regardless, average Joes and Janes are sure to identify with the sentiments expressed by Rich Jones, Swords the Ronin and Troy Boy in their latest single/video and first Booth feature. With The Rarity's boom-bap percussion, bells and interlocking synth lines as their backdrop, the crew chronicle their struggle to make sense of the crazy world around them - and get paid/laid in the process. Rich steers the record into more political territory on the back, evoking the injustices of endless war and environmental destruction and capping his verse off with the rallying cry, "Everyday people off your ass, it's time to lead!" Interest piqued? More fresh tunes await on the crew's SpliffNotes EP, released last summer and available for free download from their Bandcamp page.

Yes, hylands is just a sugar placebo, you can use it with anything.
For those who practice homeopathy, you might want to read the wikipedia articles on homeopathy and "water memory." There's usually nothing in homeopathic treatments other than sugar, water, and alcohol. If you believe in the power of "water memory" then what you're believing in is religion, not science. "Water memory" doesn't exist in science, nor do the "miasms" (e.g. evil energies) that homeopaths believe make us ill. Homeopathy fails to stand up to rigorous scientific testing and the principals behind it are pure fantasy. From wikipedia: "Homeopathic remedies generally contain few or no pharmacologically active molecules,[21] and for such remedies to have pharmacological effect would violate fundamental principles of science." I will repeat: homeopathy is religion. If you're religious then it's no problem to believe that evil spirits can be ousted from your body with magical potions. If you put more stock in the scientific method than in religion, though, be aware that homeopathy has been debunked.
That being said, my son likes Hyland's. I think the sugary dissolving action of the tablet distracts him from his teething discomfort. The only concern I have with things like Hyland's is that they aren't regulated by the FDA. Due to the FDA's loosey-goosey standards, there have been some cases of homeopathic treatments poisoning people with arsenic and zinc. The people poisoned by the zinc permanently lost their sense of smell.
