PRIDE is dead and so is Cro Cops hunger. The guy is looking to coast into retirement with some bs fights in Japan.
UFC President Dana White has been talking all week about the over the phone deal done with the Croation fighter Mirko Cro Cop to face Mostapha Al Turk on the main card at UFC 99.
In a surprise move, Mirko Cro Cop informs Dana White during the post-fight press conference, that he has already signed a three fight contract with the Japanese promotion DREAM and will not be signing a long term contract with the UFC.
The story of the post-fight action was Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic telling UFC president Dana White he didn't want to sign with the UFC longterm. Technically he couldn't because he informed White that he had already signed a three fight deal with DREAM in Japan.
Dana White reacts to the news:
"Isn't that a dirty (expletive) thing to do?" White asked rhetorically after being queried about Filipovic's deal with DREAM. "He (expletived) me. The first time in the history of the company I do one over the phone. He promised me a three-fight deal and he (expletived) me."
"He didn't keep his word … He talked about honor and all this other [expletive] and he [expletived] me."
"He fed me this bull [expletive] about wanting to take a run for the title, and what I think he did was, he went out and did this. He turned down every other [expletive] fighter I offered him, because I needed him to fight Cain. He didn't just poke Al-Turk; he poked me, too." [Yahoo Sports]
A shady thing to do after talking about making one more run at the UFC title during the pre-fight press conference.
Cro Cop denies the deal with DREAM:
"I don't know why White listened to the rumors instead of talking to me. I hoped that we will talk about a continuing of our collaboration, because the only obstacle was the long period between two fights that has been offered to me. I don't want to sit at home so long and waiting that someone calls me for a fight."
"However, I am grateful to Dana White for an opportunity to fight in Cologne and despite his harsh words, I don't see the reason that we don't prolong the contract."
UPDATE 2 – Cro Cops a lair!
USAToday has confirmed with the Japanese promotion DREAM, the Mirko Cro Cop has signed to fight in Japan.
The news was later confirmed to me in an e-mail from Mike Kogan, who runs the U.S. operation of Dream's parent company, Fighting and Entertainment Group.
PRIDE is dead and so is Cro Cops hunger. The guy is looking to coast into retirement with some bs fights in Japan.
so that's it? crocop came back to fight one fight in the UFC and leave??? WTF? crocop is a fucking pussy. he came to the UFC first, got his ass whipped, then signed with some other org to avoid UFC fighters. he said he could come back to claim that UFC title and he finally does come back. but after one fight against a subpar fighter, crocop is exiting the UFC. WTF is that
I think he probably got a better deal and went with it. I'm sure there's allot of people that felt the same way White feels right now, that they got screwed by the UFC or White himself but as we all know you have to do what's best for yourself especially in the fight world so they offered him something better and he took it. Good for him.
Nice to see dana take one in the pills for a change. Listen to him whine like a baby. He can dish it out but he can't take it. Sucks that cro cop will not be in the UFC as they need all the star power they can get at heavyweight. Karma is a bitch ain't it dana?
I'm just disappointed to hear that Crocop was ducking fighters and finally settled with Al-Turk. The UFC already did him a solid with Eddie Sanchez. Dana sounds pissed though. I guess he's not used to being on that end of a one night stand Lol.
I'm cracking up that all of you UFC fanatics actually believe what White is saying about Cro-Cop ducking his fighters. Read what that crying little aerobics instructor is saying. The head of a major sports organization and he spouts off like one of his many angry teenage viewers. He is pissed off that Cro-Cop took a better deal somewhere else and now he just wants to put him down as much as he can – even if it means stretching the truth. Grow up Dana.
I think this was all staged. Neither Crocop, Dana, or anyone in their right mind thinks that he can make a title run. However Crocop is still a big name and has star sttraction, specially in Europe, so why not. I don't think Dana is that stupid to do this over the phone and then have it back-fire. Cro cop lookes stupid his first time around the UFC and wanted to come back and win once on the UFC before he fights nobodys and then retires. I have not seen this UFC, I was not going to be around today so I ordered for tomorrow but from the looks, it did not look to impressive. I may eat my words tomorrow but right now it is looking like another, no-chamoionship match event that sucks. There really werent a lot of big name fighters so I am sure Dana gave Crocop a fight deal to help him sell this event. Keep in mind that Dana cannot make this public because a 1 fight deal is what Fedor wants…and it would not be in Dana's good intertest to sign Fedor to a 1 fight deal. He would want him for at least 3 or 4 fights.
I don't beleive this for 1 second.
lol wtf???
Businessman you won't be disappointed in Silva/Franklin or Davis/Hardy. I think both of those could have won fight of the night.
Thats fucked up..I lost all respect for Cro cop..First his win was a bullshit win by pocing ALturk in the guy then Throw 4 punchs that miss ha Cro Cop is a fucking joke..
Cro Cop looked average against an average fighter. It doesn't matter where he goes because he's never going to be any type of champ. He can't beat the best.
dana got fucked in the ass hahahahah how does it feel you like that do ya anyone actually care that cro -flop is not going to sign on for more fights in ufc. i cant believe they let him back after his last stint- he is a bum and he actually could have fought cain and pussed out because he would have been beat down and he looked terrible in this win. bad job ref who should have stopped it and given turk time to sort his eye out and he might have won.
Dana is pissed but i think when he looks back on it, Its probably good that Cro-Cop isn't going to be fighting in the UFC anymore. he is washed up and wouldn't fight any of the big fighters so no point in him being there.
Dana should "PAY HIS FIGHTERS"… this shit won;t happen otherwise.
Good for Cro Cop!!!!
fuck crocop. fedor needs to stop bullshitting and get his ass over to the UFC to answer frank mir's questions. and to make brock shit in his pants.
i dont understand why in cro cops post fight interview did he say he wants to fight randy next then? im confused. we will see him fight in the ufc sooner than later imo.
While I am slightly dissapointed that I won't see Filipovic continue fighting guys in the UFC, I really do love to see Dana squirming and crying over someone "doing him wrong" like he does to every body. He brings in up and Comers puts them against the best then cuts them when they lose fights they are supposed. He deserves it for running the "EA" of mma and being a fucking dictator with his contracts. If he didnt have absurd control issues and let people fight across organizations like EVERYWHERE ELSE, and like UFC used to. Dream will have great opponents to offer Cro Cop or any other heavyweight for that matter due to their strange affiliations with Strikeforce/affliction. Im not happy with Cro Cop decision per se', but I really do love to see Dana White cry and moan like the unproffesional fuck he is.
Oh and please intentional eye poke? Really? are you guys serious…please tell me no…you fucking douche bags are the same people that were annoying me at the bar last nigh, and why i am embarrassed to admit to the average mildly intellectual that I am a fan of mma, not the morons crying a bout competent ground work at Las Vegas events, not the people that sit and watch intelligenty watch the technique like fans in Japan do. sorry for that block of text…
Cro cop hasn't done shit in the UFC and camn goto Drteam for all I care. The UFC has better fighters and cro cop knows it.
Mirko Cro-Cop I Fucked Him OH
I thought Crocop was only signed up for 1 fight in the UFC anyway.
that's the nature of the business. funny i remembering dana fucking AA over when he fought in columbus 2 years ago. he had a champion fight in an undercard not televised because AA didn't sign on to do anymore fights at the time (right before affliction). everyone that watches mma know AA's fights are explosive and exciting. just the nature of the business.
Cro Cop is over.
maybe arlovski's fights were exciting a few years ago but not towards the end of his ufc career. as much as you all hate it, dana knows what he's doing. except it. maybe he doesnt pay fighters ridiculous amouts of money because he doensnt want to go out of business like the other companys that pay fighter out the ass. cro cop is washed up and couldnt cut it in the ufc before. i dont even see why dana wants him anyway. and tim losing to ray mercer like that makes all the talk of fedor beating ufc champions real credible. arlovski also. beating 2 ufc rejects and now a 3rd coming up isnt a big deal. now bring on the bashing all you fedor lovers:)
your wrong thedude, aa was at his best and recently beating nelson and rothwell in exciting fasion, dana didn't let aa go and he wanted to keep him it was aa that left on his own.he was boring in the ufc no since he got knocked out by tim and than had 2 boring fights one against tim because he was afraid to get knocked out and than one against werdum who could make anyone look boring.so he beat one ufc reject not 2 and its better beating rejects than losing to them like some of the ufc hw's. did it take something away from his wins?maybe but its a easy debate just tell me who is better than fedor? can't do it can you?
ok you got me on arlovski, i forgot he was winning on his way out. why isnt mir better than fedor, you dont know, i dont know. unless it happens soon no one will because age is catching up to all these guys and they wont be as good as they were.
well i think mir is not even top 5, before his accident he could barely get by wes sims and after he was losing to people like cruz and got destroyed by vera.before accident tim was his only notable win and after he has only beat a rookie lesnar and a sick nog.i have real thought mir sucked for a long time but i will give him some credit for those 2 wins but not enough to be considered the best hw out there.if he gets past lesnar again and one more decent fighter i will give him his props and say he deserves a fight with fedor untell than i am just waiting for him to be exposed as a mid level fighter.
its cool roy i dont see mir getting past brock a second time. i agree with you mir is very over rated.
Mir is overrated but still a threat it looks like he has elevated his level of fighting a bit…but he is facing a not so rookie fighter anymore with all the tools the first time they fought and more ring time equals calmness and ability to control his aggression and not get caught…miracles do happen and thats the only thing that will stop Lesnar from pounding Mir into submission himself…
I would love to see Mir vs Fedor i think that would be great wonder who the better submission expert is? One is considered the best BJJ expert out there today and othera sambo champ with just a shortecoming of greatness…would be interesting..
Cro Cop fucked Dana…and the UFC…we didnt need him anyways…
mir isnt considered the best bjj expert out there lol. Babalu submitted him in a grappling match not too long ago. also in one of his latest interviews he said hes been training with demian mai and demian beats him most of the tim. mir's got some good subs for sure but i think werdum, gonzaga, and nog are better on the ground.
HAHAHA dane!!! ur a dumbass if u think gonzaga and werdum are better than mir on the ground. il give u big nog maybe, but come on….SERIOUSLY??? and all of u jackasses that are saying lesnar is guna dominate mir, ur fucking stupid. mir can throw subs at brock all night, until he catches him….(which will proly be tha 1st attempt, in the 1st minute of round 1). lesnar has NO CHANCE
TJ you are smoking crack if you think mir is going to dominate lesner. You are right that mir will lay on his back all night like a little bitch trying to submit him because he knows that he will get knocked the fuck out in a stand up war. And I'm not a big lesner fan I'm just going off both fighters last several fights. Frank looked his best against nog, but then again nog always gets beat up at first and then comes back to win.
WHAT!!!! ur going off their last couple fights??!! are u kidding me dude?! mir DOMINATED nog. no one else has KO'd nog, but mir did, so obviously hes got sum striking skills. and also, mir beat lesnar 1 minute in the 1st round their first meeting! NOW WHAT HAS LESNAR DONE?? he has gotten his ass beat by Mir, layed on Herring for a decision, and beat an obviously washed up, Randy Couture. ur a dumbass, but its okay…we will see what happens July 11th
TJ call me a dumbass when ur the one who is away off. Look up top ten jui jitsui players in mma and u will see im right. Werdum is ranked number 6 Big Nog number 5 and mir isnt even on the list.
werdum and gonzaga are jui jitsui world champions you moron. what titles has Mir won in jui jitsui? look it up chump.
these are gonzagas BJJ accomplishments:
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt. 2006 Mundials Champion, Heavyweight BJJ Black Belt GP 2004 Champion/ ADCC Trials Brazil Champion and ADCC 2005 second place, four-time BJJ national Champion / five-time Sao Paulo State Champion
if you think mir has accomplished anything close to that you're off your rocker. get your facts straight before you start calling me a dumbass….DUMBASS!
god…ur such a faggot. jitz in mma is a lot different then straight up jitz competition. mir is an all around mma fighter. anyways… since u like facts and numbers soo much…heres some. Gonzaga has had 9 ufc fights and only 2 subs. Werdum has had 4 ufc fights and 0 subs. but in the great Frank Mir's 10 ufc victories, 50% of them he won by submission. also, mir has fought MUCH tougher opponents than Napao and werdum. so i think that makes u the dumbass buddy. DUMBASS!!!
wow another "Faggot" in your post. more homosexual frustration from the keyboard warrior. its ok man life will continue. its funny how heated you get over nothing.
ur right man mir faught the cream of the crop back in the day like wes sims and tank abbot. his biggest win was tim sylvia. amazing stuff really. mir has lost to ian freeman, marcio cruz, and brandon vera… do u think lesnar would lose to any of those guys no matter how out of shape he was i highly doubt it. Damn man you get butt hurt pretty easily its kinda comical. you said mir is the best bjj expert out there today in mma and thats just straight up wrong. Gonzaga, Verdum, Nog, Palhares, Babalu (who submitted frank in a grappling match just a little while ago), and Demian Maia to name a few are just as good if not a lot better. Frank could beat a lot of those guys in MMA obviously but he is definetly not the best and nobody considers him the best bjj expert out there.
Cro-cop will regret this. i wouldntt put it past Dana to taking the UFC to Croatia just to spite Cro-cop. I wouldnt screw over dana, he's a mean dude.
hey dane…if u make a couple more dumbass comments, u might be #2 on the top commenters,AKA,losers with no lives, list. but anyways-i NEVER claimed that Mir was the best bjj expert out there…that was 'Tim' look back at comment 28 of this post. Maia, Palhares, and Babalu are a lot better bjj practitioners than Mir…OBVIOUSLY
its always funny when someone posting on a website calls another person a loser for posting on websites all the time.
this TJ guy sounds like your average tapout wearing wannabe mma fighter you always see watching the fights at hooters. let me guess your a former national champion wrestler with crazy standup. it's easy to talk shit online. It truely shows someones intelligence when they have to resort to name calling everytime somebody disagrees with their oppinion. go argue on youtube so the rest of us can talk about mma without having to read this rediculous pissing contest.
TJ the E-Gangster in tha house. LOL hard lads over internet are just soooo cool (sarcasm).
Im want Mir to Win, but i dont see Mir dominating Lesnar thats just silly talk there. In the first fight Lesnar knocked Mir down in seconds. I think Mirs best chance will be to avoid the stand up and wait for Lesner to shoot for a take down and then sub him.
If Mir trys to stand with Lesnar i think it'll be a quick KO for Lesnar. Yes Mir showed great striking against Nog but Nog doesnt strike anywhere near as hard as Lesnar, the guy hit herring so hard he rolled over his head lol. I hope it doesnt happen but i could easily see Lesnar getting a first round win by KO
I called this from the beginning – I knew Dana was either full of it, or there was a misunderstanding somewhere. Cro Cop is just not that kind of guy. Dana, however, is.
UPDATE 2 – Ouch, sorry Nichole.
Dana still sucks
yeah 'Nichole' i guess u were wrong. cro cop is the pussy ass, lying ass, snake that screwed dana over. and dana isn't. get of dana's back, you stupid bitch
could someone get rid of this troll, tj you haven't put up one post worth reading and if your going to insult people at least make it good or funny your shit is weak.
TJ incase ur small brain hasnt figured it out yet nobody carse what you have to say. just ignore him and dont respond to him. he's like a little kid that needs attention. if we ignore him he'll go away
Still doesn't sit right with me – USA Today breaks the story? Since when is USA Today into MMA?
I find it hard to believe that NO ONE else got a confirmation from DREAM besides USA Today.
TJ? TJ who?
Update –
I knew USA Today wasn't a reliable MMA source.
looks like cro cop wasn't lying
ya funny how so many people were willing to hate on cro cop at the drop of a dime. dont believe everything you read. hope crocop signs with the ufc.
I hate to say it, but the press is not perfect, and Dana certainly isn't. Now I wouldn't blame Cro Cop for signing with DREAM on account of how Dana ran his mouth about him. Dana shot himself in the foot on this one.
if Cro Cop screws Dana over then he gets +1 in my book.

In case you missed it, Savoir Adore's Paul Hammer released the following news via Facebook this week:
Savoir Adore began as an experiment. Over time it's become much more, evolving from a recording project to a live band, from a 2 piece to a 5 piece and everything in between. And, in the last couple years, it's taken us around the world. Now, it's changing once again…
As we started work on our third record, Deidre decided that she was going to part ways with the band to focus on other projects. She will be missed, but Savoir Adore is continuing on, and the mission remains the same - to create music that transports us to other worlds, and helps us see the magic in our own. Deidre is one of our closest friends and I hope you'll join us in wishing her the best in all of her new adventures. She also wanted to send along a personal note:
"... I am deeply grateful to everyone who has supported us, worked with us, played with us, and welcomed our music into their lives. Thank you so, so much. As for the future, I will always create music. Now is the time for next phases and new journeys." - Deidre
(You can read Deidre's full message here: http://bit.ly/1y5yOh2)
Our last release, Our Nature, is a record we are extremely proud of, but we can't wait to show you what we've been working on next. We've spent the majority of the last year writing, collaborating and once again, experimenting. These are exciting times, and we feel the best is yet to come. Stay tuned for updates and a lot of new music in the new year!
As always, thank you all so much for your support over the years - it means the world to us!
Still Dreaming,
Paul & SA
Stay tuned for more news and updates from Savoir Adore.
Watch "Converse Sneaker Stories - Berlin," Featuring Schwarz Dont Crack:
Nettwerk is excited to announce the signing of Berlin-based duo Schwarz Dont Crack to its label, management and publishing rosters via Nettwerk Hamburg. The pair will release a self-titled EP on January 26, 2015, with a full-length debut album to follow (date tba).
Schwarz Dont Crack is the brainchild of Ahmad Larnes and Sebastian Kreis, who met in Berlin following Ahmad's move from New York City and Sebastian's flee from South Germany, both in search of a more progressive musical landscape. Together they have found a synthesis of sound formed from the rich tapestry of American 90s R&B and the German capital's perpetual electronic obsession.
"[Departures] is a beautiful record" - Exclaim!
Newfoundland folk-trio The Once share the official music video for "We Are All Running," the first single from their latest album, Departures (August 2014). The video is a collection of footage shot over two months during the North American leg of the band's first world tour as support for label-mate Passenger.
Next year, The Once will head back on the road for a headlining world tour that begins on March 11, 2015 in Montreal, Canada and ends in Birmingham, UK on May 9, 2015. All tour dates are listed below.
The Once's (Geraldine Hollett, Andrew Dale and Phil Churchill) story began five years ago, when the band released their 2009 self-titled, award-winning debut, which was funded by a stranger at a show who was so impressed that he offered them $5,000 to make the album. Since then, the band has been quietly making a name for themselves in their native Canada, having collected a trio of Canadian Folk Music Awards, been named Newfoundland & Labrador Art Council's Artist of the Year and earned a JUNO nomination for best Roots & Traditional album. They caught the attention Nettwerk CEO Terry McBride at the Vancouver CelticFest, who offered them a label deal shortly after.
Nettwerk Music Group congratulates its artists for their CBC Music Awards nominations.
The Pack A.D was nominated in two categories: Best Live Show and Best Independent Artist. The garage rock duo's newest album Do Not Engage saw a career best chart debut entering the Top 200 at #87, hitting #16 on the Alternative Albums chart and #54 on the Digital Albums chart. The Pack A.D. also set a new record at Canadian College radio with Do Not Engage charting #1 for 10 consecutive weeks at the !earshot National Top 50.

The latest single "Rollin'" was recently the #1 most added track at Alternative Rock Radio and is now #24, in the competitive formats Top 30 chart.
Mike Rosenberg, aka Passenger, was nominated Best International Album for the critically acclaimed Whispers, which saw career high chart debuts around the globe. In the U.S, it landed at #12 on the Billboard 200, #5 in his native UK, #2 in Australia and Canada, #3 in New Zealand and the Netherlands and #6 in Germany.
Australia's Boy & Bear was nominated for Best International Album for sophomore album Harlequin Dream. In Australia, the album had a steady run at #1, was certified Gold, and received several ARIA Award nominations, including Best Group, Best Rock Album and Producer Of The Year. This follows their award-winning debut LP Moonfire, which won five awards at 2011 ARIAs, including the coveted group and best album prizes.
Facebook recently launched a new "Say Thanks" feature, which allows their users to create personalized video cards for Facebook friends. It gained the most attention last week went Mark Zuckerberg himself created a video or his wife Priscilla Chan. But if you were wondering what the moving and melodic background music featured in the video is, it's none other than Nettwerk's own Radical Face and his song "Always Gold" from the album The Family Tree: The Roots. A second song also from the same album, "Severus and Stone," is used in the latest "Say Thanks" video direct at family members.
The Family Tree: The Roots is the first of The Family Tree trilogy, released in 2012. The second installment of the trilogy, The Family Tree: The Branches, was released last October. Watch the latest music video for the song "The Mute" below:

"Driving alternative pop, filled with organic, earthly sounds" - HUH
"Oli Bayston seems to have a knack of turning everything he touches into gold. Upbeat piano-led electronica in the vein of LCD Soundsystem" – The 405

Alexi Murdoch's "Song For You" is featured in the heartwarming Christmas television commercial for UK pharmacy Boots, which had its first play during the finale of Downton Abbey this past Sunday.
Alexi Murdoch is a musician, writer and singer who was born in London and raised
in Scotland, Greece and France before traveling to the United States to attended university in North Carolina, where he had heard there was good mountain countryside. He currently lives between New York and a small house on the remote west coast of Scotland, where he spends his days writing and sailing on a small, 92-year-old wooden sail boat. Since the release of his latest record, 2011's critically acclaimed Towards the Sun, he has played a number of sold out concert dates in Europe and North America, including appearances at prestigious venues like London's Union Chapel, Berlin's Admiralspalast, Lincoln Center's American Songbook Series in New York, the Montreal Jazz Festival and Mexico City's Lunario del Auditorio Nacional.
He is planning the release of his third album in 2015, the product of recording sessions in Quebec and Iceland.
Frazey Ford has premiered a new video for single "September Fields" from her latest solo album, the critically acclaimed Indian Ocean. The video, which premiered on The Wall Street Journal (here), features a special look inside the album's recording at Memphis's historic Royal Studios with the iconic Hi Rhythm Section (Charles Hodges, Leroy Hodges and the late Teenie Hodges).
The "September Fields" video was shot by filmmaker Robert Gordon (PBS's "Can't Be Satisfied: The Life And Times Of Muddy Waters"), who is responsible for connecting Frazey with the Hi Rhythm Section; after learning of her music while working on a documentary on Memphis soul, he invited her to Royal Studios to record. Frazey is the beneficiary of the Hi Rhythm Section's almighty talents, the trio accentuating her sensual and opulent vocals with deep-bottomed bass, subtle backbeats, and airy flights of organ.

Review: Narrative Clip wearable lifelogging camera
By Stu Robarts
April 9, 2014
In October 2012, a device called Memoto raised its Kickstarter goal of US$50,000 in under 5 hours and went on to raise over $550,000. Memoto went into production and began shipping in November 2013. Now called Narrative Clip, the device is a wearable lifelogging camera and a smash Kickstarter success. But is it any good? Gizmag got the opportunity to find out.
The first thing to address about Narrative Clip is the premise. It is designed to be clipped onto clothing or placed standing up somewhere and it takes a photo every 30 seconds. If the lens is visible, it is taking photos. To turn the device off, users need only place it face down on a surface.
Although, by way of digital cameras, social media and the Facebook Paparazzi, we've become more comfortable with being constantly captured on camera, some people may find the passive and automatic nature of the Narrative Clip unnerving. There can be a sense that it's another device chipping away at our privacy.
Others view it as a clever means of capturing photos that they may otherwise have missed and capturing candid moments in their lives without the conspicuous intrusion of a manual camera. There are merits to both points, but for the benefit of this review we'll leave the conundrums about morality and usefulness to you, instead focusing how well the device achieves what it sets out to do.
Our Narrative Clip turned up in clean white packaging reminiscent of that used by Apple. The contents of the box were refreshingly sparse, with just a short USB cable, a manual and the camera itself. Users are directed to the set up website where the required software can be downloaded and the device can be registered. Users are also asked to download the smartphone app for iOS or Android. There is a genuine sense of simplicity about the whole process, it feels like it's been thoughtfully considered.
Indeed, rarely does a manual warrant comment in a review, but its short, image-based content furthers the sense of ease with which the device is delivered and intended to be used. It all helps to set the user at rest with a type of device that it's unlikely they will have used before.
The device itself is a lovely, understated piece of design. At 36 x 36 x 9 mm (1.42 x 1.42 x 0.35 in), it's small enough to be relatively unnoticeable when worn, but not so small as to be easily mislaid. Our device was white, although orange and gray are also available, with a black back-plate and a sturdy silver clip. The camera lens sits at the bottom front corner and the only two other features of note are a set of four LED lights along one side used for indicating battery status and photo activity, and a USB port that is covered by a sliver of black plastic (which can be a touch fiddly). There's no more to the device than is necessary and, noticeably, no buttons. To take a photo manually users need only double-tap it.
Fully charging the Narrative Clip for the first time took about an hour and a half, after which it was ready to go. I slid it onto my jacket lapel and went to get some lunch. I wore it to a gig and to work. There's a degree of self-consciousness wearing the device for the first time, but people in the street didn't seem to notice it. It's when you begin chatting to someone that they become aware of the device, which may prompt a conversation about what it is. People can naturally be a bit uncomfortable about being constantly photographed and it should go without saying that there are times to put the camera away in your pocket (which will put it into sleep mode).
The Narrative Clip uses a USB connection to upload images to the company's servers using a computer's Internet connection and, if the user wants, copy images to their computer's storage. There is no automatic wireless uploading, which is a shame, but understandable given the battery drain that the functionality would be. Unfortunately, my first photos were not immediately forthcoming. Narrative had experienced some problems "creating Moments" (as it calls the photo collections) and the opportunity to view my photos was delayed.
When I did get to view my photos, a number of things became apparent. Firstly, the camera isn't great. Narrative says it's as good as a smartphone camera, but in my opinion it's not quite at that level. Photos blur easily and are grainy in low light. This is perhaps to be expected, it's a small, limited device and the serendipitous approach to taking photos will naturally result in a lot of dross, with the occasional gem. I could live with that and it's definitely the case, as with any camera, that the more you use the device, the more you'll learn how to get better photos with it.
Depending on how you've been wearing the device, photos are also on one strange angle or another. This is corrected automatically when the photos are uploaded to the Narrative app, but not in photos that are copied to the user's computer.
You'd think, therefore, that the processed images might be downloadable from the Narrative servers, but after much searching it occurred to me that there is no means of viewing images on the Web, only via smartphone app. This is a huge miss. Narrative says you can share images via the app, but it doesn't provide any means of editing images. The inability to get your hands on the processed photos seems like an oversight at best, or consciously obstructive at worst.
Everything that happened (or didn't) after connecting the device to a computer felt like a bit of a let down. An afterthought even. The uploading software is limited and could easily have an editor/organizer built into it. Photos pulled directly from the device to a user's computer are left for the user to deal with themselves if they want to do any editing. Loading photos on the app, meanwhile, is slow and functionality is limited. Users can view sets of photos by scrolling through or via a slideshow. Photos can be deleted, marked as favorites, set as key images in the series or shared, but that's about it.
The lack of a desktop experience feels too restrictive for a device that costs what the Narrative Clip does, which brings me nicely onto that point. As I was showing the device to some friends, I asked what they thought of it. There was a feeling that it was a nice idea and that it would be a good stocking filler. A bit of a novelty that might be useful every so often. Price-wise they thought maybe £30-£60 ($50-$100).
I'm inclined to agree with most of that, though perhaps I'd nudge the price up a touch. The Narrative Clip retails for $279 (£167) though. That feels a bit steep for a camera that produces photos that are so-so at best, and then limits your access to them afterwards.
The Narrative Clip is a good concept. The execution is excellent in some aspects, but feels drastically lacking in others. Either the price needs to come down, or the quality and functionality need to go up.
The video below is Narrative's introduction to the Narrative Clip.
Website: Narrative Clip
This could be really useful if you had full control and ownership of the captured images which could be processed by their software on your own computer. The concept of hundreds / thousands / more of these roaming the streets and all the content being stored / owned / managed by one company is creepy to say the least. I could see Facebook buying them out if it became successful and using a new video data mining tool to gather information. Great idea, but woeful and dangerous implementation.Peter Verwey
What about solar cell on front to charge / extend battery lifeJohn Thirgood
Great review! Didn't think about the weird photo angles issue until your review. Sounds like Apple packaging and MS everything else.turdferguson
Wearable lifeloggers come down to content management and photo quality. My Autographer gives me full desktop access to my pics, for instance. It also lets me change how frequently it takes (better) pictures. The narrative clip seems beta by comparison, IMO.JWBC
This would be useful as a kind of 'black box' for people who live in areas prone to robbery, sexual assault, etc. thinking about getting one if I live in NYC. Any thoughts?Cory Wells

My puppy enjoys her Kong. She used to spend much more time trying to get the treats, and now she has begun losing interest. The only downfall for me is that because it is always wet from being in her mouth, it picks up all kinds of things from the floor/rugs that I must clean before she gets that in her mouth. Overall, a solid purchase!
Pros: Durable, fun, time consuming
Cons: Needs cleaning often

Leg length discrepancies can cause a host of issues. If your doctor or bike fitter can identify a leg length discrepancy (usually through x-rays) than shimming the shorter leg can amount to a miracle cure. Speedplay makes shimming easy and precise thanks to this kit.
The Speedplay V.2 Leg Length Shim Kit includes two 1/8" V.2 Leg Length Shims and two sets of V.2 screws. V.2 Cleat Fastening Screws are visually distinct from pre-V.2 cleat fastening screws. The V.2 Cleat fastening screws are not continuously threaded up to the head of the screw. Instead, the threads of the screw stop mid-way up the screw shaft and then have a small, unthreaded section of the shaft continuing to the screw head. These screws are pre-Loctited.

Jewesses with Attitude
Rising Voices
The Rising Voices Fellowship is a collaborative program created by the Jewish Women's Archive (JWA) and Prozdor of Hebrew College. The fellowship is open to female-identified teens with a passion for writing, a demonstrated concern for current and historic events, and a strong interest in Judaism—particularly as it relates to issues of gender and equality.

Ancient Egypt, Nazi Germany, and High School Classrooms: Is There Such a Thing as an Innocent Bystander?
There is little more frustrating than being punished for something that you did not do. The extra homework assignments because a few classmates were talking, no sandals to work because one girl stubbed her toe, no more school-wide pancake breakfasts because one group of students did not clean up their lunch, the trampoline is off-limits because one person couldn't follow the rules. So many instances when one person, or one small group of people, ruined it for everybody.
I Came to Explore the Wreck
Boxes of slide reels still cover my repurposed kitchen table. To help with storage, a nearby closet offers enough space for a whopping twelve boxes for a total of sixteen, all compiled by my paternal Grandfather. I'm no mathematician but I can easily calculate that, with sixteen boxes of eighty slides, there must be over twelve hundred squares of film.
Meninists, Meir and Madeleine L'Engle
Recently I have become aware of Meninist Twitter, an account with thousands of followers. An account whose purposes, as far as I can tell, are to argue that true gender equality means fighting for men's rights, to claim that women have an agenda that involves disadvantaging men, and, of course, to ridicule feminism.
Not To Sound Like an Angry Feminist...
Anger is powerful. Anger is useful. If you insult me at the bowling alley, I am bound to bowl a strike right after. I tend to utilize anger in three areas: passive aggressive, the rare occasions where I engage in competitions, and talking about feminist issues. Not to sound like an angry feminist, but there is a lot to be angry about on that front.
For Women in Comedy, A New Jewish Voice
Jewish women are having a moment. At the end of 2014, Flavorwire published an article entitled "2014 Was—Secretly—The Year of the Jewish Woman." It profiled Jewish women who made news in culture in the past year: Abbi Glazer and Ilana Jacobson of the Comedy Central show Broad City, Jill Soloway, the writer of the groundbreaking show Transparent, and Jenny Slate, the comedian who starred in the romantic comedy Obvious Child, among others.
Thoughts From Another Shul
I have an immense amount of respect for more traditional Jewish communities, Ashkenazi and Sephardi alike. Judaism cannot and should not be only one thing; and our culture's ability to be both united and extraordinarily multi-faceted is part of what makes it so beautiful.
A Valorous Woman
We've all seen—and heard of—the impossible standards to which women are held: be skinny, beautiful, athletic, and put together, but also be "natural" and be "yourself." Don't change yourself for a man, but don't scare him off by being too honest or "real" from the get-go either. Be smart and informed, but don't let your intelligence outshine his, or else his masculinity might be threatened. Be a perfect mother and wife, but make sure you're also highly accomplished at work.
Recording History, Warts and All
So, when prompted with the question, "Which piece of culture would you like history to forget?" I truly couldn't think of anything. To willingly want to erase a historical cultural record really shows no regard for history at all. The culture we create is a reflection of our values during that period. Books, movies, TV, music, are the most compelling historical records we have of the mood of a society, and this includes the ugly parts.
Bitch, reclaimed?
Sometimes, my shame overwhelms me mid-phrase, and I am only able to get half-way through the final word: "What a bi…" before I chastise myself thoroughly. "Stop it. You are a feminist now, Eliza. You are supposed to be better than this."
Just Like Animals
We need to pay strict attention to what messages we get from the media and how those messages perpetuate violence and misogyny. Violent and offensive lyrics, such as those in "Animals," glorify and romanticize sexualized violence, causing distorted views on healthy relationships. Objectification and violence toward women can too easily become mainstream when popular celebrities endorse this behavior.
A Subjective Obsession
In Meditations on First Philosophy, René Descartes argues that the main foundation of knowledge is one's own mind: we think; therefore, we are. We can trust our subjective reality more than the objective one. It should follow from such a philosophical notion that people should not judge each other's perceptions because no one can know what is really true. For a short time this winter, such a judgment was suspended, and everyone freely judged others.
Choosing Our Role Models, and Letting Them Go
When I was younger, I used to love watching Hannah Montana on television. The lead character, played by Miley Cyrus, lived a double life as pop sensation Hannah Montana. Cyrus had so many fans, so many young not-yet-teenagers who looked up to her. I remember going to see her in concert when I was in fourth grade. It was one of the highlights of my year.
How and Why We Remember
The people of a certain culture devote an entire week of each year to commemorating one of the worst parts of their history. They taste bitter things to appreciate the suffering of their ancestors. They consciously abstain from consuming bread to remind themselves what was eaten—or rather, what was not eaten. They mourn the deaths of their ancient oppressors. They drink the metaphorical tears of their forefathers and foremothers. And year after year after year, they gather around tables to recount the suffering and the humiliation and the turmoil of their own people.
The Insincerity of Instagram
I am not opposed to documenting experiences through photographs—often looking at one picture is enough for me to remember an entire sequence of events that I would otherwise have forgotten. However, in an age of social media, the obsession with producing a photo that makes an event look fun, that makes the people involved look glamorous, can be a misrepresentation of the event.
No Strings Attached? No Way.
In the film industry, 2011 was the year of casual sex. In January, Paramount Pictures released No Strings Attached, starring Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman. The movie documents two best friends who think that introducing physical intimacy into their relationship won't complicate things and that feelings will not be involved, resulting in a "no strings attached" relationship.
Odetta Holmes, Singing for the Voiceless
Through her blues music, Holmes inspired people all over America to take a stand for black equality. She performed at numerous rallies, advocating for civil rights for all; in fact, her music is often called the "soundtrack of the Civil Rights movement."
#Blacklivesmatter Matters
2014 was a year when police brutality against black men was brought to the forefront of the American consciousness. The police killings of Eric Garner, Michael Brown, and Tamir Rice, along with no legal sentences for the perpetrators, arranged themselves into a pattern that was difficult for the public to miss. Among the responses were protests, riots, classroom discussions, and the swift rise of the hashtag "#blacklivesmatter."
Aung San Suu Kyi: Myanmar's Pursuit of Happiness
Of all the things I take for granted, the value I most often overlook is democracy. To reside in a thriving democratic country that gives a voice to its people and places checks and balances on its government is more than I can ever fully appreciate, and even though I have doubts about certain policies, at least I have the opportunity to voice these questions. As a young writer, I am especially grateful for my ability to articulate my opinions without fear of harm.
Still She Rose
It's hard to rise above the fray. To disregard all of the weight attached to us, to be free. There are many aspects of life that will try to ground us, to clip our wings and to take away our voices, but it is the voices that demand to be heard that guide us. Maya Angelou had one of those voices. In all aspects, she was a whirlwind force to be reckoned with. She excelled as a poet, author, singer, dancer, professor, screenwriter, actress, advocate, and avid feminist.
Lessons from Malalai Joya, Afghanistan's Feminist Voice
In a country where some consider being born a woman a capital offense, Malalai Joya is the epitome of bravery. An Afghani woman, Joya has overcome hardship, loss and great obstacles and yet has never given up on her quest to make the world a better place.
"Hatikvah" of Stav Shaffir
Often, when I see an article about Israel in a magazine or a newspaper, a gnawing sense of despair wells up in my chest. As the country's political and class conflicts seems to stagnate and worsen, I have found it easier to avoid such news altogether. I don't like feeling that way. I hate feeling that way. Though I may not always agree with the actions of the state, I am invested in Israel and want her to succeed and thrive. But as I grow older and more aware, my cynicism often diminishes my capacity for hope.
Know Hope: Learning Civil Rights with Andrew Sullivan
Andrew Sullivan came into my life when I entered high school. At that time, he was writing a blog for the Daily Beast called "The Dish" and I read it Every. Single. Day. He wrote about politics in Washington, the Iraq War, different facets of American culture, conservatism, Christianity. But what he is best known for his role in the fight for same sex marriage.
Getting Girls Educated
Western feminists have a habit of writing about and advocating for "first world" issues: body image, television and gaming tropes, the wage gap, you name it. It's logical to be most concerned with the society in which you live and on which you have the most influence, and there's nothing wrong with this reality.
Life Beyond the Screen
With the newly popular theme of including feminist ideals in advertising—such as Pantene's campaign against apologizing—I can't help but express my gratitude. It's nice of these companies to give a brief hint at achieving societal equality.
Jiggling Toward Inclusivity
This Girl Can is a nonprofit based in the UK that "is here to inspire women to wiggle, jiggle, move and prove that judgment is a barrier that can be overcome." In their main video campaign, women of all races, shapes, and ability levels are featured exercising and enjoying themselves. They are proud of who they are and are proud of their active lifestyles.

The Open Archives Initiative (OAI) is an attempt to build a "low-barrier interoperability framework" for archives (institutional repositories) containing digital content (digital libraries). It allows people (Service Providers) to harvest metadata (from Data Providers). This metadata is used to provide "value-added services", often by combining different data sets. Initially, the initiative has been involved in the development of a technological framework and interoperability standards specifically for enhancing access to e-print archives, in order to increase the availability of scholarly communication; OAI is, therefore, closely related to the Open access publishing movement. However, the developed technology and standards are applicable in a much broader domain than scholarly publishing alone. The OAI technical infrastructure, specified in the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), currently in version 2.0, defines a mechanism for data providers to expose their metadata. This protocol mandates that individual archives map their metadata to the Dublin Core, a simple and common metadata set for this purpose. In other words, the relation of OAI compatibility to Dublin Core is that OAI standards allow a common way to provide content, and part of those standards is that the content has metadata that describes the items in Dublin Core format. OAI has recently begun work on the Object Reuse and Exchange (OAI-ORE) project which defines standards for the description and exchange of aggregations of Web resources.

The Akron Beacon Journal, Ohio, Rich Heldenfels Column
By Rich Heldenfels, Akron Beacon Journal, Ohio
Jul. 14–Raising Hellboy. Hellboy II, the comic-book-derived adventure starring Ron Perlman, rode to the top of the weekend box office with a studio-estimated $35.9 million, according to Box Office Mojo.
Hancock, the latest Will Smith movie and last weekend's champ, was second with an estimated $33 million. (Actual totals, which often vary some from the estimates, will be released today.)
Journey to the Center of the Earth, the latest action pic from Brendan Fraser, was in third place with about $20.6 million. Deadline Hollywood Daily said most viewers went to theaters showing the movie in 3-D, with Entertainment Weekly's EW.com noting that many theaters charged more for Journey in 3-D than for the standard version.
Completing the top five: the animated delight WALL-E in fourth and Wanted, with Angelina Jolie, in fifth. And speaking of Jolie. . . .
She's Ready to Open the Baby Gifts. After back-and-forth rumors earlier in the day, it was finally confirmed Saturday that Jolie and partner Brad Pitt added twins to their family: son Knox Leon and daughter Vivienne Marcheline. They are the fifth and sixth children in the Jolie-Pitt clan. According to People.com, Pitt was present for the births and cut the umbilical cords.
Experts figure that publication rights to the first baby pictures will fetch a fortune, said the Associated Press; the price could go as high as $20 million for the snaps.
While the Jolie watch had been especially intense, the babies' arrival was the latest in a string of celebrity births, including children for Nicole Kidman, Matthew McConaughey, Jamie Lynn Spears and Tori Spelling.–
TV Watch: The Closer. The detective series starring Kyra Sedgwick begins a new season at 9 tonight on TNT, with Brenda Johnson (Sedgwick) trying to put away a known — but so far unconvicted — killer for a new murder. Only the case is more complicated than it first looks. Nor is that the only thing that's complicated. Brenda's much anticipated move into a new home with fiance Fritz (Jon Tenney) has hit several bumps.
As is often the case with the series, the season premiere mixes comedy into its dramatic (and grisly) police cases. It's not the best episode the show has ever done, but it's entertaining enough.
TV Watch 2: Saving Grace. At 10 tonight on TNT, Saving Grace begins its second season. At the end of the first season, police detective Grace Hanadarko (Holly Hunter) learned that the priest who had abused her as a child was not dead, as she had thought. And she faced a decision of whether to kill him or not.
The second season picks up in the aftermath of her decision, and with Grace once again wrestling with her guardian angel (Leon Rippy) and how she can both overcome her old pain and find a way to redemption. It's a very effective episode, and Hunter is, as usual, quite affecting as the tough, tortured Grace. I'm not sure where the show will go after tonight's telecast, but I want to find out.
Brawlin' Brolin. Actors Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright were among a group arrested Saturday morning in Shreveport, La., after a disturbance at a local bar.
Said the Shreveport Times: "Officers were called to the Stray Cat bar in the 200 block of Travis Street just after 2 a.m. to deal with a rowdy patron. As more officers arrived, several other patrons at the bar, including Brolin and . . . Wright, 42, tried to impede the officers." In all, the report named 10 officers called to the ruckus.
"Brolin, Wright and four other people were charged with interfering with police, a misdemeanor," the newspaper reported.
Brolin and Wright were in the area as part of director Oliver Stone's film W., which stars Brolin as George W. Bush and Wright as Colin Powell.
While it's not unusual for the police to handle bar disturbances, a department rep told the Times this one did have one special quality. "I've heard from National Enquirer, Entertainment Tonight, Extra, the New York Post and a few other national outlets," he said. "Lots of people have called."

No to Annexation
We would be crazy to support annexation when there is only an increase in the cost for services without a corresponding increase in the quality of service. Add to it the chance of new addresses, putting our trash service company out of business, and following a plan "just because" just does not make sense to me.

Fees charged OFWs too high–Cayetano
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—Reelectionist Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano cited the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration's (POEA) for the quick processing of documents of migrant workers but noted that the fees should be reduced or done away with altogether.
Cayetano saw how one migrant worker, identified only as Rex, a welder bound for Angola, completed his paper work in less than an hour because he had all the documents required by the POEA to secure an overseas employment certificate (OEC).
On the other hand, Cayetano noted that two domestic workers returning to Saudi Arabia were turned back in the bureaucratic process because they didn't have their working visas with them.
"As we could see in the case of Aling Eleanor and Aling Myla they had to be asked to come back to the POEA simply because they were not properly briefed by their employment agencies to bring all the necessary documents to get an OEC," Cayetano said in a statement.
"We call our OFWs modern-day heroes but it's unfortunate we can't guide them in the simplest of ways, like giving them a basic checklist of requirements so they do not have to waste time and money going back and forth to the POEA just to secure an OEC," he added.
Cayetano visited the POEA on Friday as part of the listening tour in his reelection campaign. He touched base with Filipino migrants as he accompanied them through the processes at the POEA.
Cayetano is scheduled to campaign among Filipino workers in Hong Kong this week.
Cayetano met with POEA Administrator Hans Leo Cacdac, who briefed the senator on the improvements in the processing of OFW documents.
"To be fair to the POEA, there really have been major improvements in their systems and processes to make life more convenient for our OFWs," Cayetano said.
But Cayetano said the POEA's fees appeared to be too high, noting that a first-time OFW would have to pay around P6,120, while a returning OFW, only P2,417.
In his statement, Cayetano said that OEC fees should be reduced "or totally scrapped to further lessen the burden on our OFWs."—Norman Bordadora

Thanksgiving makes us whole
Posted by
Staff Writer
Wednesday, November 23. 2011
Comments (0)
Humankind has the most unique relationship to its Creator. It is stated in the Bible that we are created in the image of God. We are inbreathed with God's breath of life, which makes us a "living soul" with a distinctive bond with our Maker. This exclusive rapport is the only one of its kind in all of God's creation. Our inimitable affiliation with God allows a communion with Him that no other of His establishment enjoys.
Such a special connection places upon us particular responsibilities. We have an extraordinary accountability in the scheme of God's plan for His universe. We are given stewardship over all the rest of His creation.
Included in our out of the ordinary liaison with our Creator are God's serious instructions to be forever thankful for our blessings. The God-given capacity to be grateful for our blessings sets us apart with exceptional liability.
Thanksgiving Day did not begin with the Pilgrims at Plymouth. The tradition is much older than that. In fact, it was written into God's Word early in the history of Israel. The "Thank Offering" expressed the gratitude of the one making the offering for some blessing received. 2 Chronicles 29:31 reads like this: Then Hezekiah said, "You have now dedicated yourselves to the Lord. Come and bring sacrifices and thank offerings to the temple of the Lord." Therefore, the assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings, and all whose hearts were willing, brought burnt offerings.
The New Testament strongly emphasizes the necessity of thanksgiving to make us "whole" in Christ Jesus. One of them, when he saw that he was healed, came back praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him--and he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Was no one found to return and give thanks to God except this foreigner?" Then he said to him "Rise and go; your faith has made you whole." - Luke 17:15-19
Genuine thankfulness has great significance. Just as our ancestors came to the New World to escape the bondage of those who would bring them under the subjugation of an oppressive government and religious tyranny, so we as Christians have fled to the Lord Jesus and have been set free from our enemy, the Devil. When we were servants of sin and Satan, we were the enemies of God. Now we have been reconciled to God by Jesus' blood shed on the Cross.
As Christians, we should be thankful for God's common grace. Our Lord cares for us and provides for our needs and we should increase in our thankfulness for his provision. John Calvin wrote, "Thankfulness is the soil in which pride does not easily grow." For Christians, there is a more fundamental level to our thankfulness: We no longer stand in God's judgment. Our sins are forgiven. Someone else bore the wrath for our unrighteousness.
The forgiveness of sins should make our hearts swell in thankfulness more than the two cars we have in our garage.
In fact, if our thankfulness is only informed by our material increase, then it is difficult to be thankful in times of great suffering. Yet, if the Gospel informs our thankfulness, then we can endure much poverty or affliction, awaiting our blessed hope.
Have a blessed, safe and happy Thanksgiving.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: goodroi
I'd like to put some mirrors up for the time being. But I do NOT want them banned from any IMPORTANT SE's..
Does anyone have a nice robots.txt they can share with me via sticky-mail?
Also: are there any other pitfalls of mirror sites?
How about the 'pros' (versus cons)?
On a mirror site I have for use if the primary server fails, I use
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
This disallows all robots from indexing the duplicated content. I do not promote the mirror site
in any way, except for a single link on the main site on a page that is also disallowed. The mirror
is for back-up purposes only.
No banned-due to duplicate-content problems for me!
I do not want the ORIGINAL sites banned from any SE. The dups/mirrors could be banned, but if they're not indexed, then they can't be banned, but if they get indexed...it's not a problem. They're kinda throwaway domains anyway.
I do NOT want my original website/websites banned.
Best advice would be to not put up the mirror sites. If you are not extremely careful in setting up the robots.txt and other server side issues, you are at high risk.
If there is no real purpose for the mirrors, than don't do it. What for? Type in traffic? If so, set up a 301 redirect for that domain. Anything other than that and you may be walking on thin ice.
As soon as you link from one of those to another, you've opened up another can of worms. Googlebot is very good at following robots.txt when they are set up properly. Google is also very good about finding links in places you may have forgotten about. Or, links in places that someone may have planted! ;)
Yes, put the disallow only on the mirror sites, not the main site.
If Google (for example) indexes a page on your mirror site, and (for some reason*) assigns it a
higher PR than the page on your main site, it might drop the main site page and list the mirror page
instead - probably not what you want. Some here say that if it finds too much duplicated content or
too much cross-linking then it will give you a PR0. Some say that won't happen, some say it will.
I'm not sure, but be careful.
* This could happen if a competitor intentionally linked his very-high-PR page to your mirror page,
as pageoneresults implied.
The 'extra' domains would have lots of dup content from some subpages on my main domain.
For example:
www.mysite.com/widgets/blue.htm is original
www.blue-widget.com is an extra domain.
Should I just mix up the content? There is no particular order...it's just a regional directory.
I'm sorry if I'm being elusive...I'm have reasons.
Duplicate content is a risk, as outlined above.
We try hard to be objective and non-judgemental here on WebmasterWorld - we count e-mail spammers
and anti-spam crusaders amongst our members, as one example. You will have to figure out how far to
open the kimono in order to get an accurate answer. This is my personal opinion, and worth what it's
costing you, but the consensus seems to be that duplicate content is risky and buys you little. YMMV

My friends Joe and Karli recently relocated to Spain with their three cats in tow. As they prepared for the move, they quickly discovered that transporting pets internationally can be quite a production.
There are a few basic requirements for traveling abroad with companion animals. Your vet can provide health certificates and proof of rabies vaccinations. Some countries also require mandatory quarantine periods for animals before allowing them in.
This program was originally broadcast in October, 2013
If this week's show doesn't bring out the animal in you, consult a doctor. You may be a vegetable... or a mineral... or a big block of cheese.
This is the time of year when pet lovers take their animals to church, when Lions and Tigers and Cardinals and Falcons take to the field, and when we turn to Louisiana songs about animals.
We've got birds, bees, a monkey, a horse, and even a cheetah. Yes, there are cheetahs in Louisiana. But the potholes slow them down.
Fans of the Price is Right know two things for sure: when in doubt, bid one dollar. And always spay or neuter your pet!
Game show host Bob Barker encouraged viewers to spay or neuter their pets because spay/neuter is the best way to reduce the number of unwanted animals in shelters.
Spaying or neutering your pet can cut down on unwelcome behaviors associated with mating, like howling, marking and certain outward displays of affection.
Let's talk adoption. 17 million Americans get a new pet each year, but only 3.5 million adopt that pet from an animal shelter.
Many people don't realize that breeders and pet stores are simply reproducing mass quantities of cats and dogs to sustain their business.
That's where animal shelters come in! Walk into any shelter in Louisiana and you'll find pets of all shapes, sizes and personalities. They're vaccinated, spayed, neutered, microchipped and ready to be adopted!
Terrebonne Parish officials have opened a temporary pet shelter at the West Houma Gym on Williams Ave.
The Courier reports this temporary shelter is only available for pets of those residents who will be staying at the parish shelter at the Houma Municipal Auditorium.
The pet owner is responsible for the animal's food and water, and walking the animal every morning and evening during the allotted time period.
Officials say you must register at Houma Municipal Auditorium before bringing your pet to the shelter.

Sometimes friends become more than friends and Facebook just won't do. And if the friend in question are dogs, they may want to hear today's last word in business.
PAUL ANKA: (Singing) And they called it puppy love, oh I...
Brazil's dog population is second only to the U.S. Two entrepreneurs - a brother and sister team - are hoping to capitalize on that by building an eight-story hotel for pets. With one floor apparently is dedicated to mating.
The St. Tammany Parish Department of Animal Services is offering free microchipping of dogs and cats tomorrow. Animal Services will chip up to four animals per resident. Proof of residency is required.
The Carnival parades are under way, with one of the most unusual setting out from Armstrong Park: the canine Krewe of Barkus. Holding court this 17th year in Mardi Gras were King Scrappy and Queen Paris-- both qualified because they are rescue animals.
Roxanne Mentzer cuddled the queen, who donned a cape of feathers and gold lamme and a bow. She's come a long way from the shivering, thirsty Chihuahua found by the side of the road in Kenner, just after Hurricane Katrina.
