@ilovedhanjanird- question for you...Are you Kat's PR. How to you know she is very nice?? When every news about her signifies to the contrary. Do you know her personally?? Do you know that she used Salman to further her career? Do you also know that Kaif is not her real name and her father is not a Kashmiri Muslim...Her last name is Turqotte or something. When a person can lie about their origins thats a reflection on their character. I think Deepika is way more beautiful and way more truthful than Kat. Kat and Ranbir should totally get married, after all a lying opportunist deserves nothing better than a serial womanizer.
Edited on:29 August 2013 at 4:59pm
Oh please people commenting for ranbir and deepika
Just because they have a good chemistry on screen they don't need to be together
If ranbir loves Katrina and vise versa they should be with each other
Katrina is a very nice person much better than the overrated deepija
Kat's a disgusting & shameless opportunist. Ranbir a serial womanizer...this wedlock will be a case of "un-happily ever after". Deeps deserves better than a cheating boyfriend like Ranbir. I hope a handsome millionaire sweeps her off her feet
Awesome !! They are most cutest couple of Bollywood. Hope this news is true. Best of luck Guyz !!
Priyanka Chopra would be perfect for Ranbir!!!!!
I really hope its all rumors...I am sure he will find much better person then her... PLZ... don't do this...
I know its non of my business, However I really feel you don't pop up a question for katrina...
Gosh, are u telling Ranbir who to fall in love with - its his choice and his heart. falling in love happens - these things are not planned. Every Bollywood movie PORTRAYS that...leave them alone...
jus becos they r seen abt doesn't mean they r dating... the same was said abt nargis during and after rockstar...and wer are those rumours now?
Unlikely to happen. They look good together though but it makes no sense to deny dating and then get married.
These reporters need to stop speculating - they cannot even prove that they are dating yet they KNOW that he is gonna ask her to marry him?? WTH?
There must be a reason that he loves Katrina so much. She's so gorgeous and talented. They make an amazing couple
Actors Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh as well as filmmaker Karan ...

The Mark of Athena (Heroes of Olympus, Book 3) (edition 2012)
by Rick Riordan
Work details
The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This volume of The Heroes of Olympus series regresses a great deal. It goes for slapstick humor rather than wit, spends several hundred pages ping-ponging from one monster of the day to another, and, worst of all, treats all nine protagonists as one-dimensional caricatures of the well-defined characters they were in previous books.
I really enjoyed reading the next installment of Percy's story. I was surprised by how little I know about the Roman Gods and Goddesses.
In the third book of the second Olympians series, we finally see Annabeth come to the fore as she undertakes an adventure separate from the newly assembled super-team of demigods that the past two installments of the series have been constructing. The team is off to the old world to solve the problem of the awakening earth, but Annabeth has a special, Athena-related mission that she must accomplish alone. That test is some of the best work in the novel, as the story unfolds in pieces from several different third-person limited perspectives, including Annabeth's own. This is an expansion of Riordan's experiment with a narrative told in multiple voices, though the shift to limited third here works better than the multiple-firsts he tried in the Kane Chronicles. The result is an orderly pattern, stories layered on experiences, that keep the reader moving swiftly through the story, overlapping viewpoints without bogging us down or making us feel like we've heard all this before (which, basically, we have).
As the middle book of an ambitious series, this novel has no resolution to offer, even though the smaller adventures within it feel mostly complete. In fact, there is a literal cliffhanger, so brace yourselves. You can't read this book without the others.
Description: In The Son of Neptune, Percy, Hazel, and Frank met in Camp Jupiter, the Roman equivalent of Camp Halfblood, and traveled to the land beyond the gods to complete a dangerous quest. The third book in the Heroes of Olympus series will unite them with Jason, Piper, and Leo. But they number only six--who will complete the Prophecy of Seven?
The Greek and Roman demigods will have to cooperate in order to defeat the giants released by the Earth Mother, Gaea. Then they will have to sail together to the ancient land to find the Doors of Death. What exactly are the Doors of Death? Much of the prophecy remains a mystery. . . .
With old friends and new friends joining forces, a marvelous ship, fearsome foes, and an exotic setting, The Mark of Athena promises to be another unforgettable adventure by master storyteller Rick Riordan.
Thoughts: I've really enjoyed the Olympian books over the last couple of years. The Percy Jackson series was good and I've found the Heroes of Olympus books to be even better. So I've been eagerly anticipating this third installment, mostly because I knew Annabeth had to have a staring role.
But something about this book is off. I think it might be the relationship drama/dynamics. The most annoying is Piper's constantly worrying over her relationship with Jason, who comes off as a bit of a doofus in this one (I think more because he's not one of the characters that lead chapters in this one than anything else). However, Annabeth and Percy's relationship is not immune to the icky, clingy stuff of teenage love. It feels a bit more worthy of the emotional wobbles since they've been separated and Percy has been missing, but it didn't feel that true to the pair of them.
Throw all of that into the racing pace that Riordan is known for and you kind of get a jumble of angst, overly fast resolution of action, and a lot of "well, hmm." Which didn't overly excite me, even though I sped right through the book.
I think I'm starting to see that this series isn't going to reach the promise I thought it would and is rather going to be a bit of a repeat of the last series. Which is ok. It's just not all that exciting.

I should most definitely be a sobbing mess right now. That's obviously what Riordan intended with that ending. The problem? I was waiting for it. And I don't mean I was waiting for some sort of unidentified pain. I was waiting for the ending as it happened. Unfortunately, the one spoiler I knew about this series was the ending of The Mark of Athena. Womp womp. As such, The Mark of Athena, though fun as ever, wasn't really an emotional read because the whole time I was going "it's YOU, isn't it?" (And, no, I won't spoil the ending for others: look forward to some sort of pain.
In some ways, this is definitely my favorite of the series thus far. This book is primarily about Annabeth, which obviously is boss, because Annabeth is a boss bitch. It's also the cutest Percabeth has ever gotten to be. I mean, Annabeth kisses Percy and then beats him up when they finally see each other again and it's so perfect. Also there's this one scene on the trireme which is super great. The fact that Annabeth loves him for being a bit of a doofus so she can be the smart one is so apparent and they're fitting together so well.
Then there's Annabeth's quest. I like that she had her own shit to do. Annabeth got to lead a quest before, but even so it was more of a group effort. I think, of all of them, she gets the least chance to show off, since so many of the challenges are physical and Annabeth, though useful in a scrap, is more the brains of the operation. I like that Percy couldn't protect her from this, much as he wanted to do so.
I'm a bit torn on the group dynamic. On the one hand, I'm loving that they're coming to like each other. The tenuous connection between Frank and Leo is one of my favorite things. There's also a lot of struggling with coming to terms with the fact that no one hero is THE hero. Jason and Percy are most afflicted with this, but all of them occasionally feel like they're useless. Logically, I like this a lot, but I also got annoyed with it, since every one of them did a lot on the quest. There's also a lot of space for more bonding still. Percy and Annabeth are pretty insular, as are Piper and Jason.
Leo still annoys me a bit, but also I feel so bad for him. He's the seventh wheel on the ship of his own devising. He does not get appreciated as much as he should. That was finally starting to change by the end of the book, but he's still the only demigod not in a couple, unless he decides to hook up with Hedge. Speaking of Hedge, why is he here? I thought there were only supposed to be seven on this quest? He makes eight. Do satyrs not count? Why not bring more creatures then if non-demigods don't count?
My biggest struggle continues to be Piper and Leo, who I like even less than I did in The Lost Hero. They're such wet blankets. I mean, Piper spends the WHOLE FUCKING BOOK being jealous of Reyna, even though Jason said he wasn't into Reyna early on. Listen up, kids. That's not healthy. You're doomed. Break up. Piper chapters are painful chapters. Also, why don't Jason, Hazel or Frank have chapters?
I'm really excited for The House of Hades, especially since I have no idea what's going to happen in that one, except for lots of pain, which YES. The ending of The Mark of Athena was definitely awesome, if only I hadn't been prepared for it.
In the mark of Athena percy and his friends have to find the statue of athena. They try to make friends with camp jupiter and ghosts control Leo into starting war for camp jupiter. These same ghosts in the story control Percy and Jason into a big fight with each other. Percy and jason feel useless in one point of the book, cause golden boy is way to good for them in a sword fight. They meet hercales to get into the ancient lands and they have to tear a bulls horn off. Then as thy are leaving annabeth shoots food out of the horn and traps heracules in food.

Chocolate Dessert Crepes
|All purpose flour
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|1 Tablespoon
|1 Tablespoon
|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs)
|Vanilla extract
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|2 Teaspoon
Combine first 4 ingredients.
Add milk and vanilla; beat until smooth.
Add egg, and beat well; stir in butter.
Refrigerate 2 hours.
(This allows flour particles to swell and soften so crepes are light in texture.) Brush bottom of a 6-inch crepe pan or heavy skillet with oil; place over medium heat until just hot, not smoking.
Pour 2 tablespoons batter into pan; quickly tilt pan in all directions so batter covers pan in a thin film.
Cook crepe about 1 minute.
Lift edge of crepe to test for done-ness.
Crepe is ready for flipping when it can be shaken loose from pan.
Flip crepe, and cook about 30 seconds on other side.
(This side is rarely more than spotty brown and is the side on which the filling is placed.) Place crepes on a towel to cool.
Stack between layers of waxed paper to prevent sticking.
Repeat until all batter is used.

10 of the best movie trilogies of all-time
'The Dark Knight,' 'Star Wars,' 'The Godfather' and more
2. 'Three Colors: Blue, White, Red'
Films: "Three Colors: Blue" (1993), "Three Colors: White" (1994), and "Three Colors: Red" (1994)
Director: Krzysztof Kieslowski
Best of the bunch: The Kieslowski films are remarkable human stories, told with wit and empathy, deeply felt and fully realized, and "Red," which was the last in the cycle, makes a powerful case for the healing nature of storytelling. A woman hits a dog with her car and, trying to save him, ends up meeting his owner, a retired jude who spends his days watching his neighbors and listening in on their phone calls. The relationship that blooms between them defies conventional movie wisdom, and it elevates this over two other truly great films.
Weakest Link: "White" is the slightest of the films, and yet it still contains more wisdom than many films even aspire to.
Why it's a great trilogy: Kieslowski had a singular voice, and yet he did not leave behind a long filmography. Some might argue that his best work was done for television in the form of his ten-part meditation on the messages of the Ten Commandments, but I think that was the warm up for his final three movies where he managed to impart his entire worldview over the span of three very intimate stories about the connections between people. Julie Delpy, Juliette Binoche, and Irene Jacob all get career-defining roles as the leads in the films, and they are luminous, each of them laying bare their souls in service of Kieslowski's beautiful belief that we all save each other every day in a million small ways. To tell such different stories in pursuit of one truth is why these stand united as one of the best trilogies ever produced.

Any advice on setting up a schedule for moms like us? I've been wanting to put one into action for quite some time, but I haven't gotten motivated enough to do it. I would love to hear advice on how to set one up for the whole family, and how others with multiple closely spaced kids schedule their time.
Even if you don't have an official schedule, please feel free to share how you use your day. It'd be nice to find out how others spend their time between husband, multiple kids, pets, and housework.

Felix Hernandez has had a pretty impressive career so far with some quality achievements. He hit a grand slam in 2008, he pitched a perfect game against the Tampa Bay Rays in 2012, he's struck out over 1,500 hitters, and now, he has 100 career victories. At the tender age of 19, Felix Hernandez made his Major League debut with the Seattle Mariners, going five innings in a loss to the Tigers. Just about seven and a half years later, King Felix has gained his one hundredth career victory, going six shutout innings in a 7-1 win over the Houston Astros, striking out nine while walking one and allowing five hits while throwing 93 pitches. Throughout the game which secured his historic victory, Hernandez appeared to have very few issues, with only three runners making it past first base, all on doubles. Over his career, Hernandez has shown amazing consistency and durability not seen in many pitchers in this day and age. Averaging 232 innings per year with well over 200 strike-outs each of...

Hi! I'm new to the equine industry.. I just started a weekend job mucking stalls and I love it. (Never thought I'd say I'd love to muck horse crap.. lol) I'm 21 years old and I have less than 2 years worth of horse experience, but my best friend has been a horse girl all her life and she's teaching me the ways.
I've fallen deeply in love with a mini foal, and I have plans on buying him when I can support him... :) I can't wait for some of his pictures to be uploaded. I think he's 180$ to buy... I haven't gotten an answer for board just yet, but I'll get there.

The ship also boasts several other restaurants and bars, including two main dining rooms, the Lido Restaurant and the Steakhouse (for an extra $35 per person fee). The ship also revolutionized its onboard entertainment offerings, adding the Punchliner Comedy Club and the EA Sports Bar (equipped with flat-screen TVs as well as gaming consoles). Passengers looking for more relaxation can enjoy yoga and Pilates classes or venture to the Serenity Adult Retreat, which features whirlpools, lounge chairs and bar service. As far as lodging is concerned, Carnival Liberty offers Interior, Ocean View, Balcony and Suite category staterooms, all of which come with flat-screen TVs, safes, minibars and 24-hour room service.

Production CompanyProspect Park, Universal Cable Productions
Cast and Crew

The first-and painfully awkward-morning after between Hank and Jill is thankfully cut short when Hank receives an emergency call from Ms. "Newparts" Newberg. Her faithful housekeeper, Esperanza, has been sick for a week but Ms. Newberg needs her well before her big party the next day. Hank determines that Esperanza has pneumonia and administers a treatment that should have Esperanza back on her feet soon-if she rests. But they all know that resting is not in Esperanza's vocabulary or her boss's for that matter.
To thank him for his speedy and efficient efforts, Ms. Newberg invites Hank to attend the "Bark Mitzvah" she's hosting for her dog Koufax. But the joyful if a little ludicrous occasion takes a frightening turn when the hostess, the dog-of-honor and some of the guests start exhibiting the same symptoms as Esperanza, whose condition has worsened. Do Hank and Jill suddenly have some kind of viral outbreak on their hands? The only way to find out is to lockdown the estate and quarantine the sick until they can figure out what's going on. Of course, Hank doesn't anticipate how much flak he'll get from holding Hamptonites against their will.
As Divya and Evan are tending to another patient out of the quarantine zone, Evan learns that Divya is engaged. She swears him to both secrecy and silence upon pain of death but Evan can't help prod her into telling him the deal. Divya grudgingly admits that she is about to marry a wonderful man. The only problem is she doesn't love him. Apparently arranged marriages are not a thing of the past in Divya's world.

|3 Ounce (3 Packets, To Taste)
|Egg substitute/7 large eggs
|1 2⁄3 Cup (26.67 tbs)

|Coarsely chopped walnuts
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
Preheat oven to 325°.
Spray a 9-inch bundt pan or an equivalent size pan with a nonfat cooking spray, coat with unsalted margarine, or use a nonstick pan.
In a large bowl, with an electric mixer set on low to medium, cream the margarine until fluffy.
Mix the fructose and sugar substitute together.
Gradually add it to the margarine and beat well, scraping the sides of the bowl.
Add the egg substitute or eggs, 1/3 cup or 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a bowl, sift flour, salt, and baking powder twice.
In a measuring cup, stir almond and vanilla extracts into the milk.
Add half of the flour combination and half of the milk mixture alternately to the egg mixture, a little at a time, and beat at medium speed.
Then alternate the rest and stir in by hand, only until thoroughly blended.
For a finer cake texture, use an electric mixer.
Pour half the batter into the prepared pan.
Sprinkle zest, spreading evenly over the batter.
Do not mix into batter.
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts on top of the zest.
Pour the rest of the batter evenly into the pan and smooth the top.
Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean.
Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes.
Invert cake on wire rack and cool thoroughly.


text: Make Up For Ever ME930 Black Purple Artist Shadow ($21.00 for 0.08 oz.) is a rich, blackened purple with subtle, warm undertones and a soft, frosted finish. The color payoff is fantastic with a really rich, buttery texture that goes on so smoothly. It lasted for eight and a half hours on me. This shade was featured in the Artist Palette as well, so I'm able to confirm that the two are equal in quality, which is excellent. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

text: With the conversion of the Plaza Pavilion to a Mary Poppins themed bakery, a new Carnation Gardens replacement (Fantasy Faire- part of Fantasyland), and the Astro Orbitor jutting out of Tomorrowland, has the Hub essentially been removed from Main Street USA? WDW's Magic Kingdom Hub has the luxury of being on an island (so it's actually in no-man's land) and so it really can't support these types of additions, but DL's is right up against Main Street proper. While I love the idea of a HUGE bakery in the hub (makes grabbing a cup of joe in the a.m. and parking on a centrally located bench to people watch, a lot easier), should WDI have found a USA inspired "setting" for the new facility? Or do we just surrender the whole Hub area to a mish mash of themes?

Re: Symphony of complexity
For my tests, I immediately set out to see how it handled low tones and bass lines. I suspected that a device that small with that little amount of juice wouldn't be the best at it, but I also know that consumer-level stuff like this sometimes likes to crank up the bass so stuff like RnB/modern pop artificially sounds better (looking at you, Beats by Dre).
I started with some Fleshgod Apocalypse and Vader which mostly confirmed that suspicion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAyR_wS1kxY & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT5_NrPbRYA
I wanted to see how it handled more of a mix of sounds, so I threw Sons of Winter and Stars by Wintersun at it. The track includes a lot of traditional melodic death metal - screams and growls, power chords and double bass but mixes it in and progresses through several orchestral sections as well as some choir and clean vocals. It handled all but the lows reasonably nicely, but with the bass player of metal band and the kick drum almost constantly going, a decent chunk of the mids and highs are drowned out. You can listen to the track here (it's 17 minutes but I promise it's worth it) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mG7_fOuM5vE
Lastly, I wanted to hear how it performed with something that isn't centered around low tones. I played Acid Rain by Liquid Tension Experiment - they're a four-man show (3/4 members from Dream Theater with Tony Levin playing a 10-string 'Chapman Stick' bass guitar) playing really awesome and fun instrumental jams. This track showed me that that the mids and highs are actually quite clean, the treble is great but again, the bass leaves something to be desired. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edqH0ofRQrM
I got the impression that this device was designed to play your regular top-40's radio music and netflix videos. I queued some random music videos from YouTube and everything seemed to sound alright, the video media I watched (all speech-based content) came through very well. I confirmed this with some of the more rock-and-roll style Dream Theater tracks (because I know what these sound like under relatively optimal conditions) and I was a bit surprised to hear how well that came out.
As for what I listen to on a regular basis, I like almost anything progressive (regardless of genre, contrary to popular belief - they just don't make prog country or 9 minute rap songs with constantly changing beats to keep my ADD ears interested). Decapitated just released their latest album Blood Mantra and I've been enjoying the hell out of that, Wintersun and Dream Theater are some of my all-time favorites, and I'm headed to Amon Amarth's (VIKINGS!!!) show this Friday with every intent to push my neck to as close to whiplash as humanly possible. Meshuggah and Decapitated are my go-tos for getting shit done, and sometimes when I'm feeling like I want to change things up I'll listen to psy trance or drum and bass (check out The Algorithm if you're into both metal and dnb) or even some jazz (Exivious and Thank You Scientist will blow your mind!)

Google Places – Maps Error "We currently do not support the location"
Many businesses have received the dreaded Google Maps Error "We currently do not support the location" after clicking the "See your listing on Google Maps" link from the Google Places Dashboard. This can be extremely frustrating after you've spent a lot of time and effort getting the correct citations for your Google Places listing.
Unfortunately we're not immune to this error either. Although our clients local listings are rock solid, our own listing for Bossa Nova Interactive hasn't been so bulletproof.
For the past 43 days (and counting) our business listing has been completely removed from Google Places and Google Maps, which also makes it ineligible for the new Google Local rollout on Google+.
About the "We currently do not support the location" error
"We currently do not support the location". Since Feb. Never had a problem for 4 years. Contacted google help and made all neccessary corrections. came up on google maps for 24 hours and went back to "We currently do not support the location. Contacted google and was told everything is good on my end and its a tecnical issue on there end and they are working on it but have no idea how long it will take. its been over 4 months dont know what else to do. My business is losing money daily
I've not had the best experience with listing with Google Places either. The dreaded "We currently do not support the location" issue has been the bane in which I've endured for a while now.
Its been almost a year since I placed my initial listing and all I got out of it so far is several nonsensical, uninspiring phone calls from Google for verification. Numerous emails requesting information as to why my listing has not been published. Come to find out recently some of the drama was spawned by "helpful" people trying to list my business for me causing duplication and a roadblock in the process. I can only hope that this fiasco will be sorted out with a few more emails and inquiries with Googles "support" team. To all of you out there having similar issues I will you luck in correcting things. I have no doubt the issue will be resolved. However its discouraging when Google response is a form letter filled with further delays and no real reason given for the issue in the first place. Again GOOD LUCK!
Same problem here been on review for about six months. It worked when we were using google adwords express funny enough.
Yes sometimes it seems like participating in Adwords makes all the difference in so many of the other business tools! What are you doing about it? I hope you've given up on waiting and gone another route. The most painful part is losing reviews if you've had them, but I'm thinking the time spent waiting can be used to rebuild those reviews while still being found by local searches!
Sorry to hear about it, and best of luck!
I've had a reply off google following your advice. They said to resubmit the listing and wait a week. If there's no progress after that to email them again. We'll see what happens.
Just came across this post when having a problem for a Places page which I knew was OK a few days before because I added a review to it successfully. I was finding the Places listings looked OK when doing a search, but clicking on any listing to get to the Places page for that business gave the dreaded error.
The cause of the issue on my system I discovered was I was searching using Chrome through a custom Google search; I'd set my default search in Settings… Manage search engines… to be "depersonalised" in order to check search results for clients without them being influenced by previous searches and activity on my system. As soon as I went to the main Google search page and used the search bar (not the Chrome 'awesome' bar or whatever it's called) the "we do not currently support the location" error no longer occurred and the Places listing was shown.
So if you're seeing the problem during search (rather than from the dashboard/management side) the problem may be with your search settings rather than the Places listing itself.
Thanks for the tip, Jon. Will keep that in mind if I run into that problem.
Hi Guys, I too am a webmaster/internet marketeer and have had listings do the same thing, matter of fact the last 5 new listings i have verified have all gone directly into pending review without any reason. I can say that if you do adwords at all call their hotline and impress upon them to inquiry about your place/local problems they can contact the rigth people for you. use the leaverage of stopping adwords if these issues are not resolved. it is easier for me because we have serveral campaigns and $$$ in adwords but adwords is the only support there really is so use it if you can. Google needs to be sued via a class action suit for business damages, and held accountable. simply saying it is a free service so they are not neglegent for the loss of business that a business loses after one of their glitches is rediculous. They made themselves the biggest most reliable search engine to the masses, and have a responsibility to both searchers & listing owner to keep the systems up running correctly, communicate and really help fix problems when they arise, or get out of the game. I really hope bing/yahoo overtakes google and people catch on as bings customer service is hands down 1000% percent better even for the local free listings.
Hi Rick. Thanks for the tip on AdWords support. We also manage several campaigns in AdWords and I had thought about turning there for support. Glad to hear it worked for you and thanks for sharing.
I like to think these are just growing pains for Google Places' transition to Google+ Local. I'm sure Google is well aware of the feedback and will hopefully react accordingly.
We currently do not support the location message! I don't know how long
it has been missing,(3-4weeks) i believe, but my business is going down
hill, We ware the on top of the list for moving services in our area
for 4years and it took us long time to get good reviews( no calls
without them). About a week ago i got a call from unknown number(Spoke
very broken English) stating there with Google and asked for directions
to my Business location? I asked for number to call back for security
purposes and she said call back the number on your caller id!! I could
not do that, it was privet i said, but she could understand me. A day
later i notice that SC Moving Service in Portland ME was not Google
We Did some of the steps Malcom Did and emailed Google!
Google Team email us back:
Thank you for contacting Google. We may follow up if we need further
information. Also, feel free to respond to this email to clarify
anything or give us additional information.
Otherwise, we appreciate your patience while our team reviews and responds to inquiries in the order they are received.
Once we're finished investigating, someone from our team will get back
to you with actions we've taken and instructions for next steps.
The Google Team
Hi SC Moving. I think you're right – they weren't from Google. However, I am not sure the two incidents are related. Still, anything is possible. It's pretty easy for competitors or anyone with a grudge to report your listing and get it jammed up for no reason. Or at least it used to be. Your mileage may vary.
Regardless, you have a problem to solve and that's getting your listing back in one piece. Mine didn't have a happy ending, but I wish you luck with yours. I'd wait a bit more and then if it doesn't get fixed soon – make a new listing under another account. The verification process will likely be shorter than waiting on them to fix it.
Speaking of which, have you already made a Google+ Brand Page? Try that route, then add the location info and get it verified. It will likely end up being your Google+ Local listing too.
Please let me know how it goes.
Hi, thank you for the reply. Well, our listing went back up after we sing-up for Google+ and ran some express adds!:),but we now have only 2 reviews,instead of 16 we had before. We are wondering what happened to the rest?
Hoping calls will start coming back like they used to:))
SC Moving,
Glad to hear it came back. Hope your reviews do too. Mine did not, but then again I started from scratch. That's probably the second hardest thing to deal with. Other than not having a listing at all, the reviews not coming back can really hurt because they are so hard to earn.
This happened to me today after claiming and editing listings. Google has THE WORST customer service and it will be their undoing. Apple can't get here fast enough with a good MAPS app.
Sorry to hear that! Make sure you take advantage of the Google+ Local and Google+ Pages for Brands functionality, which is replacing Places right now. I eventually gave up and created Google+ brand page and local place with a different account.
hi Malcolm, i was curious if you had any updates since this post? This just happened to us last week. We've written to Google and haven't had a response. Did they provide you with any resolution?
Hi Sondra. I am long-overdue for an update on this! I'll probably write a separate recap post for it when I get the time. But in a nutshell, I gave up. It is still pending review in my original places account. I had a second google account for my domain name/google apps. So I made a Google+ profile and a Google+ brand page and then a Google+ Local listing. Went through the process to claim and verify both the Brand page and the Local listing. It was painful, but still faster. Now I just have to figure out if/why I have to maintain two listing pages (Brand and Local) instead of one. Stay tuned for that.
Best of luck with whatever you do.
So strange, we're dealing with the same issue in Virginia Beach! This is so unbelivably frustrating!
Thank you for writting this article. I have been dealing with the same mess for months. It started 5 months ago when someone reported my business as closed and from there I have had nothing but problems. I am now in the same holding pattern as you with the same exact letters from Sandy. It looks like this has been a glitch for several months and sadly it greatly effects so many businesses. As a florist that is the number one way my customers find me. I will be checking back to see if you have any luck resolving this.
@de2f62c5561a77df3cbe0e5bbdde5a90:disqus sorry to hear you're going through that. The "glitch" really doesn't seem to be a glitch at all in your case. Just poor design. It sucks that competitors have been able to report other businesses as closed.
While that didn't happen to our listing, it is still poor design and communication on Google's part. 94 days and counting since our listing vanished from the public eye.
It is always best to diversify your local SEO efforts and mix it up with a really healthy dose of social media presence. Google Places (now Google+ Local) was and still may be the ultimate "anchor" for your local SEO efforts, but that doesn't mean that all of the effort put into Bing, Yahoo!, Manta, Citysearch and the like won't pay off. Remember to check out my article on sources for local business citations located here: http://bossa.co/citations. Also don't forget about your trusty old pal – organic search ranking (plain ol' SEO.) As long as you stick to writing quality content and pushing that out to the right audience with the right target keywords, you'll still fare pretty well.
I'm a Google Top Contributor and have been trying to help folks with this issue. It's heart breaking to me and almost criminal.
1) Did you have a home address listed? Did you set it to hide your address? That's the biggest reason listings have been deleted and it's happened to THOUSANDS of businesses. Some have been down a couple months.
2) DON'T Delete and start a new listing as they suggested in support emails at one point. Bad advice for a number of reasons. BUT important to know I've not seen anyone's new listing work when they try this. I think there is a permanent ban on the location or something so even new listings don't work.
I'm going to push on Google some more to try to get this resolved.
Hi Linda. No, I did not have a home address in the listing. It used to be a visible address, but in all of the troubleshooting, I simply ended up hiding it and pushing out a service area instead. At this point, the listing is back to Pending Review (see update on article soon.) It never left my Dashboard, but it doesn't exist anywhere else. No stats or history on it either.
I'm glad I resisted the urge to delete and start over but I have been tempted to start from scratch on another Google account that I own. The process of verification would have been done by now. 59 days and counting…
Same story here. Many contacts with google support done, and every reply is just to sit back and wait. Many of our competitors are shown on the map, some of them not existing any more. Frustrating.
Reviews and ratings and analytics being gone just plain sucks. But losing the ranking "game" to competitors (especially ones not in business…ouch!) double-sucks! You've likely worked hard to gain that placement on the map, and whatever rank you've achieved. I feel your pain. Wish I had more answers. Sorry for the delayed reply.

The Great Referendum of 2014
On the eighteenth day of September, Two Thousand and Fourteen,
The People of Scotland, including Children of sixteen and seventeen,
Arose as one man, with many sighs,
And made their way to their polling stations to exercise their Franchise
By voting upon the Question, Should
be an Independent Nation? Scotland
Which caused many people to scratch their heads in Consternation.
In the year of Sixteen Hundred and Five,
When Good Queen Bess was no longer alive,
She named her royal Cousin James VI of
As Successor to the Throne of
; England
But it was not until the Act of Union of Seventeen Hundred and Seven
That we had a
which some say was not a match made in Heaven; United
So that many rebellious Scots would be cruelly crushed
By General Wade, who like a Torrent rushed
To hush Jacobite sedition,
Which in
is a somewhat long-standing
tradition. Scotland
And now the Scottish people have been asked to choose
Whether to say, "Roll over, Flora MacDonald, and tell Britannia the news."
And the Caledonians have concluded their Plebiscite,
Be they Canny Scot or Blatherskite;
And the People of the
know that the country North of the
Border United Kingdom
Has said "Nay" to changing the Established Order,
In the year Two Thousand and Fourteen on September the eighteenth day,
Which will be remembered for a very long time, as many people do say.

The Great Storm of St Jude
A Topazian Ode
On St Jude's Day in the year Two Thousand and Thirteen
As mighty a Storm smote the
Isle of Wight as many people had
So that many people were heard to say
That the Storm of St Jude would be remembered for many a day.
O, dreadful the story is to relate
That many motor cars and trees did meet their Fate,
Because of the terrible Stormy Weather
That caused them both to be blown together;
For many noble trees were felled that day,
And the Fiend of the Air did loudly bray,
As if to say, "Like the Railway Bridge of Tay,
I will blow down your trees today;
And if your car is underneath
Then it will surely come to Grief!"
And even Arreton Barns' fair Willow Tree,
Once so noble for to see,
And much admired by the folks who visited that resort,
Was rent in sunder by the Elements' cruel sport;
And was split in three by the Wind's loud rush,
Even though there was no vehicle beneath for it to crush.
Such strong gusts of wind by the Storm were blown
As were by the Folks of the Wight not very often known,
And the weather station atop the Needles Battery's tower
Recorded gusts of up to ninety-nine miles per hour.
Quite a lot of people in Atherfield
Were most dismayed, it was revealed,
When the Storm Fiend of St Jude did laughingly
Blow trees upon the power lines and cut off their electricity.
And the ill-starr'd folks at Yarmouth Ferry
Were seen to be very far from merry
When the terrible winds the tides did addle
So that through the water they were forced to paddle.
But that ill wind did blow somebody good, too;
For the lions and tigers at the Isle of Wight Zoo
Will have logs with bark whereon themselves to scratch, and the apes
Will have whole tree-trunks for to climb and perform their merry japes.
At last the cruel winds did blow themselves away;
But for many years people will surely say,
"What a dreadful Storm on the
Isle of Wight was seen
On St Jude's Day, Two Thousand and Thirteen."

Albert on the Isle of Wight
Mr & Mrs Ramsbottom
Were noted for Albert, their son;
And t'young chap were quite worthy
Of note, when all's said and done.
Now, Ma & Pa & Albert
Were planning a nice weekend break,
As they found that Mr Ramsbottom still had
A few holidays left to take.
Pa looked at Ma a bit sheepish & said,
"Can we give
Blackpool a miss?"
Albert said, "Don't worry, Father—
I'm not going to take … it amiss!
Wallace is having a Sab-ba-ber-tickle[1]—
He's gone off for a year in a car
With a couple of lionesses:
A menagerie-à-trois!"
They went through a long list of holiday spots,
Hoping a nice one to find,
But somehow the Ramsbottom family
Just couldn't make up their mind.
Then Ma said, "I've heard tell it's gradely
Down on t'Isle o' Wight,"
Pa said, "If it's not full of soft southern poofters,
'Appen it might be all right."
They rode in a charra to Ports-Mouth,
Then took t'FastCat, a kind of a ship,
And sailed to Ryde pier over t'Solent:
Per tuppence per person per trip.
"It be one of the wonders of th'Island, I 'lows,"
A caulkhead[2] tried to explain—
"Royde, where you walk – 'cept when you goo
By car – or by bus – or by train."
They boarded their train at t'pier-head
To travel the rest of the way,
And rode on the open-air underground line
To a place called
. Sandown Bay
Next morning Mrs Ramsbottom
Said, "Why don't we spend t'day at t'zoo?"
Albert said, "You two go if you like—
I'll find summat else to do."
Mother made Albert some sandwiches,
With a Mars Bar and other delights;
Then, taking his stick with the horse's head handle,
He set off to see the sights.
Well, there aren't any sights in Sandown,
And he soon tired of walking the street
And he soon tired of walking the street
So he made his way to t'end o't'pier
And sat down for summat to eat.
He took out one of his sandwiches
And opened his mouth to cram it,
When a voice from over his shoulder said,
"Can Oi cadge a bit o' your nammet[3]?"
Rummaging in his lunch bag,
The generous little chap
Said, "I don't think I've got any nammet—
But tha's welcome to share in my snap."
Turning round, holding t'bag out,
He were going to say "help thasen,"
But his mouth opened wide—
Though, minding his manners, he managed to shut it again.
For the thing that stood before him
That had caused him to drop his jaw
Was the sixteen-foot fossil skelington
Of a cree-taceous dinosaur!
Young Albert looked at t'creature and said,
"By gum, tha's not half thin,
There's nowt to thee but skin and bone—
And there's precious little skin!
"Tha'd best have t'lot, I reckon,"
And dino, holding back tears,
For 75 million years!"
"I'm Albert," said t'lad, and held out his hand.
"Iggy," said dino, and shook it.
"Art tha really 75 million years old?"
"Oi am," sighed Iggy, "but … Oi don't look it."
Then t'two pals went arm in arm on t'prom
Alongside t'sand for a stroll,
And Albert told Iggy of Wallace the lion,
Who once had swallowed him whole.
They walked along, happily chatting,
And they hadn't walked nobbut a mile,
When they saw a peculiar building
That bore the name "Dinosaur Isle".
"Moy word, it's a per-tera-no-don[6],"
Iggy did happily shout,
"Do 'ee think there moight be any insoide?"
Said Albert, "let's go and find out!"
They were crossing t'causey by t'Green Cross Code,
Looking both ways all the while,
When out o't'door shot a fellow
Dressed in a very strange style.
He'd a bull-whip coiled up on his shoulder
And a wide-awake hat on his head;
"I'm Yaverland Jones, the dinosaur hunter."
"Pleased to meet you," they said.
"What a magnificent specimen!"
Jones's words came out in a rush,
"You're the best-preserved fossil I've ever seen!"
Said Iggy, "you're making me blush!"
Albert's pal's now t'star attraction,
With his name in big letters on high:
"Come and meet our new dinosaur—
Iguanodon Ramsbottomi!"

Professional who loves life and is drama free.
Life is short so it is imperative to make the best of it. I am drama free and not getting over anyone. I am an honest and loyal person.

I do believe in true love and long term happiness and that is what I hope to have some day.
