Step 1: Bill of materials
1x 555 timer
1x LED
1x 9 volt battery and clip
1x 220μf capacitor
1x 101 Ω resister
1x 101 Ω variable resister
1x 900 Ω resister
multiple wires
Step 3: Insert the wires and the timer
Step 4: Connect the other parts
You really are not helping folks with the poorly drawn circuit diagram, it's almost certain to create avoidable mistakes.
Also 9V batteries are not cheap & most LED lights that I come across are typically 1x AAA or 2x AAA, IE 1.5 or 3 V.
I was thinking about using this on my bike but the voltage is so high I am dubious about the likelihood of either over-driving the LEDs or just wasting power in creating the necessary voltage drop.
Can you spell out the reasons you selected 9V please.

Think you know the answer?
I would have expected XKCD to be the answer, because it seems to be so often used to make a point rather than just be funny. I mean, granted, it's quite funny a lot of the time. But not always.
My favorite one:
Second favorite:
speaking of xkcd and Garfield, http://xkcd.com/78/
At the time this one gave me chills.
Do you know this is such a relief.... because I have NEVER found Garfield funny, and have always wondered what the attraction was. Given that I dont find it funny I never persisted with it... which makes me wonder why other people did, indeed to the extent where they found its predictability comforting

Item 303 of Regulation S-K requires the disclosure, in a company's MD&A, of "any known trends or uncertainties…that the registrant reasonably expects will have a material favorable or unfavorable impact on net sales or revenues or income from continuing operations." A company's failure to correctly anticipate which known "trends or uncertainties" ultimately will have a material impact and make corresponding disclosures may give rise to litigation in which nondisclosure will be judged in hindsight and with the benefit of knowledge of subsequent events that may not have been foreseen at the time of disclosure.
The Second Circuit Court of Appeals' recent decision in Panther Partners Inc. v. Ikanos Communications, Inc. threatens to expand the litigation risk posed by Item 303. Although Item 303 requires disclosure only of known uncertainties that an issuer "reasonably expects will have" a material impact, in Ikanos, the Second Circuit held that the plaintiff adequately alleged a claim based on the company's failure to disclose an "uncertainty" that the court determined "might reasonably" have been expected to materially impact future revenues.

Alex Kanevsky's solo exhibition, entitled "Heroes and Animals", opened at the Dolby Chadwick Gallery in San Francisco last night. The work focused primarily on solitary female nudes, two large compositions featuring a horse and rider, and groups of women. The overall mood was deceptively serene, with undercurrents of desire, apprehension, and uncertainty running beneath the surface.

Outstanding list of links explaining why invading or bombing Iran is the wrong idea
What is really surprising about this post is that it is from the Washington Post, which has an op-ed page notoriously and consistently pushing for war with Iran.
When one reads all the links, one is struck by how much propaganda for war against Iran exists in our corporate media compared to the sorts of voices and articles identified in the links.
Perhaps someone running for president in the two wings of the Property Party (Democratic and Republican), besides Ron Paul, may heed the warning points of these links...

Celebrity Apprentice's charity is food allergies
Posted By Alison On Mar 25, 2008 @ In Food Allergies,Publicity | 1 Comment
I admit it, I used to watch The Apprentice years ago. And I liked it. (Yes, I was a Survivor fan too!)
It's been a while since I have tuned in, but this Thursday, March 27, I might just have to watch The Celebrity Apprentice to see if Trace Adkins, country singing star, wins in the finale. If he does, his chosen charity, The Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN), will receive a check for $250,000. It's great that he is raising awareness about food allergies!
Watch this video to see why he is personally motivated to win the challenge:

The brilliant colour of these sweet and delicious mouthfuls make a wonderful starter to serve alongside freshly made tzatziki dip for dunking. Increase the quantities and pile them high for impressive party nibbles.
1 dessert spoon cumin seeds
4 large raw beetroots, peeled and grated
4 tbsp flour, plus extra for shaping fritters
2 garlic cloves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tbsp olive oil
Tzatziki, to serve
Step 1: Heat a frying pan, add the cumin seeds and toast over a high heat for 2 minutes to release their flavour.
Step 2: In a bowl, combine the grated beetroot, flour and cumin seeds then crush in the garlic cloves and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Step 3: Use your hands to bring all the ingredients together, squeezing the mixture to absorb all the flour.
Step 4: With wet hands, shape the mixture into small balls. (This can be a little fiddly but don't worry, the beetroot will hold its shape once in the oil.) Sprinkle some flour onto a plate and coat the balls in the flour.
Step 5: Heat the olive oil in a nonstick frying pan over a medium heat. Carefully place the beetroot balls into the pan, fry on each side until crispy then place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Step 6: Serve straight away with tzatziki dip.
Tip: For a more formal dish, try serving these fritters on individual plates with tzatziki drizzled over the top. Accompany with a small watercress salad on the side. The flavours work perfectly and, not only that, it looks beautiful too.

What could you possibly do with wad manager if you don't have the key(cios) to open up the wii vulnerability?
I couldnt find a guide that was FOR ME if you guys understand my problem and know the solution or know a thread that shows a solution please post if you are confused this is my problem. I download wad manager 1.4 and on my wii it starts up like its supposed but when i press a to continue my wii remote turns useless and i have to turn my wii off by unplugging it.
In those situations it is better if you hold down the power button for 10 seconds, rather than unplugging the power cable.
Really, you should start by reading the guides. They are well written and cater for people new to this. Follow them carefully and if there is any part you don't understand or can't do then feel free to ask.
Good luck and have fun!

WILLISTON — Gray Mole's three sons really enjoyed learning about Jim and Trish Mulcahy's horses and how they worked as a team to pull the wagon. They were among the participants on the first wagon ride at Jocelyn Deschene's Dancing Horses Equestrian Center. The Mulcahy's own the No Baloney Pony.
"My son takes riding lessons with Jocelyn," said Mole. "Jocelyn told us about the wagon ride. It's good, family-oriented, wholesome fun. This was the first time my sons have ridden on a horse-pulled wagon."
The wagon ride took the participants around the Dancing Horse Equestrian Center facility, and, on the adjacent property, through the woods and the surrounding rural setting.
Jim Mulcahy loves to see the enjoyment in the people's faces when he takes them out for a ride.
The team of horses that pulled the wagon were Duke, a 30-something Belgain Draft Horse, and Simon, a 9-year-old Percheron-Thoroughbred cross.
"Before we bought Duke, he used to compete, and he's a blue ribbon winner," said Jim Mulcahy. "We got Simon about a year ago. He's done a lot of single. He just learned how to do pairs with Duke. They do very well. They're basically bomb-proof. I can take them anywhere without a problem."
After the wagon ride, the participants enjoyed toasted marshmallows, hot dogs and hot cider around a campfire.
"It's a great way to have some fun, especially for the children who may not have been exposed to horses," Deschene said.
The wagon rides will be held every Saturday throughout the fall, and plans call for several themed rides, including a Christmas and Valentine's Day ride. There will also be children's and adult rides. The wagon ride will also be a featured part of Dancing Horses Equestrian Center's Inaugural Fall Festival on Oct. 28.
The cost is $7 per adult, and $3 for children under 10. Private rides can be scheduled in advance.
For reservations, call (803) 266-3721.

Voters in Massachusetts did not pass ballot question number two.
The question would have legalized physician-assisted suicide for the terminally ill.
The measure was defeated 51%to 49% with 96% of precincts counted.
If passed, Massachusetts would have become the third state to allow terminally ill patients to get help from their doctors to end their lives.

LETTER: Believe in our future
To the Editor:
There is every reason to be positive about our city government's plans to begin the long awaited construction needed to upgrade and modernize our city.
First and foremost, our elected City Council leaders are supportive. Several who have expressed reservations about one part or another have told me that, on balance, Sanford's future depends on sound investments like this to help make our home more attractive, safer and more fun to be apart of. They know that this will help us compete with the towns and cities around us which are busy attracting new jobs and new families with these kinds of amenities. Sanford needs to be in this race now!
I know that our city planners and administrators have done a great deal of preparatory work to be ready. They know where new sidewalks must go. Plans are ready for downtown Sanford and Jonesboro streetscapes and beautification. The greenway plans under design are very smart to link Kiwanis Park to Medical Park to downtown. This will help put us on a pleasant and important path to better health. The potential for having a new urban park with a splash pool, perhaps adjoining the greenway, will serve children of all ages; the plans I have heard envisioned are just awesome.
Planning has been taken as far as it is prudent to take it until our citizens say yes! I am also convinced that the cost of these improvements will be manageable and, with an improved economy, there may never be cause to raise taxes as the costs will be absorbed, at least the greater part, over the next 10 years or beyond.
Sanford will grow and prosper with our pride and leadership intact. Let us be positive and believe in our future. Please vote yes.

1) Krejic- you lose him you lose 5 on 5 offense, puck possession, 3 zone play and a player that Philly MUST account for. Besides the fact he just doesn't throw the puck into empty space...to qoute Jack Edwards,"everthing with a purpose".
Power play, and shorthanded......I know....I know...they won game 3 without him. I'm not saying that they can't win but Krejic's injury is a HUGE factor and will be in the next series as well (if we get there).
2) Sturm- May not have been putting up the points.....but his speed and hockey IQ opens up oppertunity for others, and backs off defenesmen. Philly has an aggressive, offense of minded gameplan involving their blue liners. I miss'em.
Never mind the fact that he can score goals...streaky, but he knows how to find the net.
3) take Pialle( I nned two lern tooo spel) off the 1st line with Bergy......not workin' they are not clicking.......
4) Make adjustments....not scoring goals...shake it up
my line suggestions:
Recchi Bergy wheeler
lucic savy satan
ryder soboka pialle
thornton begin whitfield
small adjustment....
Its because.....

Vernon Songer
A Love Only Dreamt Of
3,972 Bricks on the west side,
of the Pirtile technology building,
I sat, Stared and thought about her
Beautiful face. And As I counted,
Reminiscing of that day she looked
Deeply into my ocean blue eyes and
Said, I think I love you. A little..
I realized a virtue of life
Love is a paramount quality of life.
If I died tomorrow I would die
a happy man. You see for every
Brick I counted on that wall I thought
Of a new feature about her I loved
And It seemed that love was never
Ending because…
I Ran out of Bricks.
3,972 Bricks on that wall, and not
One is a strand short of perfection
Call Me "No Life"
Call Me "Crazy"
But, I'd Do It Again

The Tennessee Titans released former Brookwood and Georgia standout Rennie Curran over the weekend in an attempt to cut the roster down to the 53-player limit.
The 5-foot-11, 230-pounder was reportedly in a tough situation as new Tennessee head coach Mike Munchak moves to bigger linebackers. Curran, a third-round NFL Draft pick in 2010, had 11 special teams tackles and played in nine games as a rookie.
He made 19 tackles, including a team-high 15 solos, this year in the preseason.
Curran and his agent are currently in talks with other NFL teams about finding a new home.

Inducting Kevin Nash
After weeks of rumors, it now appears that WWE has decided to go ahead with the induction of Kevin Nash into their hall of fame. The ceremony will take place during Wrestlemania weekend. While there are a good amount of candidates to give the induction speech, it appears that management has opted to go with Shawn Michaels, as they want to promote the fact that the later was very instrumental in helping the former become a star in wrestling.

Shawn Michaels bashes CM Punk
While he is steadfastly denying the rumors about him burying CM Punk in front of management during his tryout with WWE, Shawn Michaels did confess that he did not like the new UFC star. Michaels also revealed that the reason why he and Punk did not get along backstage is because the latter had a really bad attitude, which is something that many others have said about his backstage demeanor many times throughout the years.

Undertaker threatens Michaels
The internet wrestling community loves to share the story of how the Undertaker once threatened Shawn Michaels backstage because there were rumors that he was not going to drop the WWE title to Steve Austin. During a recent interview, Michaels stated that the threat never actually happened. He also revealed that he had every intention of passing the torch, but he made others believe that he would not, in order to increases the intensity backstage.

text: One of Internet marketing's important questions is whether it makes sense to put a marketing budget toward search engine optimization (SEO), pay-per-click advertising (PPC), or both? You'll find a mix of opinions on the issue. Some feel that adding PPC when a site is already ranking well organically creates unnecessary expensive cannibalism—paying for clicks that would have come for free through an organic ranking. Others believe in a synergistic effect that PPC has on organic traffic. So what is the right answer?


text: Today's photo is a view of the walkway leading up to Riverside Mill Food Court at Port Orleans Resort Riverside. See how empty it is? We go the week before Thanksgiving every year and feel like we have the resort and park to ourselves. That said, 5 days later (when the Thanksgiving crowds hit), it was wall to wall people. My husband made it explicitly clear that we will be long gone before that happens from now on Port Orleans Riverside is our favorite resort! In my opinion, it is the best themed, and certainly the most picturesque, place you can stay at Walt Disney World without breaking the bank.

By Rob Curtis - Deployment Director and Steve Rosenberg - Manager of Infrastructure, Omnibus Broadband Initiative.
In the Plan, we wrote that 14 million Americans in 7 million homes do not have access to broadband service offering actual download speeds of 4 Mbps and actual upload speeds of 1 Mbps. We found closing this gap would cost approximately $24 billion. The Plan recommended closing the gap by fundamentally refocusing the FCC universal service fund.
These figures are based on our analysis of the best available data inside the FCC and available from 3rd party sources. Today, we release The Broadband Availability Gap, a staff technical paper detailing the methodology and model we used in our calculations. This is one of the most extensive, data-driven, detailed, and comprehensive analyses of broadband networks to date. We believe it uses the best possible approach in light of the data currently available. Releasing the detailed documentation of this effort also makes this one of the most transparent network analyses ever undertaken.
While complicated, the model we developed for the Plan essentially does two things.
First, it estimates the areas of the country in which 4/1 Mbps is not likely to be available in the next several years. Our approach uses public and commercial data and relies in part on a statistical model to estimate the availability of broadband in every census block in the country. This analysis focuses on the capabilities of the "last-mile" infrastructure (the access network), not on either subscribership or retail offerings. As we learn more from better FCC data gathering and state broadband data collection funded by NTIA, these estimates will improve.
Second, it estimates the cost of bringing 4/1 Mbps to those unserved areas and the revenues that could be earned by doing so. In doing so, it is conservative and technology-neutral. We only modeled technologies—wireless, cable, satellite, and DSL—that are commercially-deployed today or will be in the near future. We wanted the model to inform practical solutions, not rely on promises of future breakthroughs.
While those steps sound straightforward, this paper shows that the task itself is complex. The financial model includes thousands of inputs, ranging from estimated signal propagation of wireless networks in particular geographies to the density of soil for trenching fiber optic cable in others.
The FCC has multiple servers supporting the model, and doing a run takes as much as 12 hours; the output from one such run produces roughly 4-5 gigabytes of data (and sometimes more). The calculations required to reach the $24 billion gap require 10 model runs. Needless to say, a lot of time, sweat, and yes, on occasion, tears have gone into developing, building and supporting this model.
In developing the Plan, we are committed to openness and transparency. To this end, on May 6 at 3:00 pm, we will host a forum at the FCC to present an overview of our analysis and answer questions. We stand behind our assumptions and conclusions in the technical paper. We look forward to feedback and discussion so that this analysis informs the policy process in the most impactful way.

Gamer Network was founded in 1999 by brothers Rupert and Nick Loman
Prior to founding the company, the brothers played a lot of network and online games like Duke Nukem 3D and Quake II, and their love for competitive multiplayer video games led them to organise their own events.
After realising they were better at organising than competing, they decided to create an online games business together with friends from the gaming community. Several years after that (paying the bills by designing websites and game middleware) they decided to focus purely on games media.
After completing medical school, Nick left the business in 2004 to pursue his career in medicine and competitive BBQ, leaving Rupert to take the business forward. In the following years the company has grown to over 50 full-time employees and remains at the forefront of games websites and events globally.

Now theres some really good ideas for the fat balls im going to try and i,ll try the lard as well, and Lyn thats a cracking picture cheers all
I've tried niger seed - no takers - and all sorts of other fancy stuff but what our visitors and residents like best are the ordinary fat balls, peanuts and loose seed for the ground feeders. I usually find the price of loose peanuts and seed is better than the pre-packaged stuff. I can buy a mix of broken seeds and grains for just €1,50 a kilo but pay double for mixes with whole sunflower seeds in. I tend to offer a mix of the two.
They also like the flesh and seeds I scrape from pumpkins, ditto melons in summer (no 1 cat likes those too) plus home made fat and seed loaves and just recently some leftover pumpkin and sultana muffins.
Anything WITHOUT wheat or corn in - it all gets flung out - the birds don't want it. I suspect that birdfood manufacturers put them in to bulk out their mix
Being country birds ours love corn of all descriptions. Our garden backs on to arable fields and it's a mad house at harvest time when there's wheat, barley or oats being spilled as they harvest and then along the sides of the road where it falls from the trailers being driven to the weighing station.
Our 2 resident collared doves eat all the corn. Although the other birds are choosy and wheat gets left until there's nothing better on offer, it all seems to get eaten in the end .
I agree datona, when you add up the waste and the time taken to clean it all up it's not really good value for money, at least all the sunflower seed hearts get eaten between the finches and the blackbirds cleaning up under them. Regarding fat balls, when it gets cold I put what ever is good for them to eat, such as potato, (especially roasted), pasta, rice, fruitcake, mealworms, seeds, etc, and all the dripping thats been saved from the sunday roast, into the food processor with some granary bread and blitz it. adding left over cheese sauce goes down a treat too. i put it in the fridge and roll it into balls for the feeders as i need it and throw some onto the lawn for the ground feeders. through the week i save left overs for the next batch. did anyone see the programe tonight on food waste, i recon 50 - 70% of that could have been recycled into above such delights for our feathered friends winter fuel
I use the Chapelwood premium Wild bird seed mix, the local garden centre to me puts in on offer in the spring so a 20kg for £10-11 (bogof) which a couple of bags does for the year. It has quite a good mix but you can top it up with sunflower hearts. The Blue/Great tits are loving this at the moment as well as the Dunnocks and the pigeons clear up whats left
The no mess stuff tends to clog up the feeders when it gets wet so i glued (superglue) an old pot saucer to the bottom of the feeder, with some holes for drainage.
It stops most of the seeds being dropped on the ground, the pidgeons and doves do a circus trick to try and stay on it to feed but most of the time it doesn't last long, so they don't take as much and are quite happy to take up the spillage on the ground.
I get the tubs of 50 fat balls (again when its a 3-2 offer) my birds love them but in my Dads garden 6 miles away they won't touch them.
i use sunflower hearts and suet pellet food (which all birds eat in my garden) even the blackbird gets on the feeder for them.
i also have wild bird seed and by mine from our local scats shop as it doesnt have the corn and bits in the birds dont like.. bit more expensive but less wastage.
also have niger seeds out and finch seed.
dont have peanuts out as they getting to wet and mouldy inthis weather and the blue tites etc love the suet pellets especially the ones with insects and nuts in.
thou i must say when i go and buy up i spend about £40 each time.. as the suet are 10kg for 11.49 a box so always get 2 of those and the sunflower seeds i can weigh out loose.. so that comes in about £15. for half and medium rubbish bin size.
and hte wild bird seed is.. um..um.. cnat remember not bought some for a while.
I find seed mixes and commercial fat balls are false economy - full of stuff the birds don't like.
What gets eaten and no mess left over is: sunflower hearts, shredded suet from the supermarket, raisins and very occasional food scraps (we don't have many leftovers).
This website has some good information about which popuar bird seed to use
The cheapest place i've found is Costco, they sell the large 12kg bags of seed for about £7 (no vat). They also sell peanuts which are a bit more expensive @ £12. They sell fat balls too which are also cheap but i can't remember how much.
Other than that i buy the large bags at the garden centre when they are on offer.
I've found the cheapest is not the most economical.
Hulled sunflower seeds are better than the ones with shells on,because there is no mess to scrape up.
I use various mixes through the year. At the moment I am using fledgling mix from Garden Bird Supplies. I usually use their Ultiva feeder mix, because it does not clog the feeders up. it is more expensive, but it's not bulked out with a lot of wheat like the cheap mixes are. The finches will just chuck wheat out on the ground, attracting more wood pigeons which are a total pest in my garden.
I use Garden Bird supplies Ground feeder/soft bill mix for blackbirds and robins.
The only things that really like peanuts are the squirrels.
The great spotted woodpeckers like Garden Bird supplies cranberry fat blocks best. Last week the mother was showing the fledglings where the fast food supplies were.
The greater variety of feeds means that I get a greater variety of birds. What I spend on Bird food, I save on pesticides.
The delivery man does think I'm running some sort of nature reserve. I see him quite often, and I order in 12.5kg sacks.
Garden Bird Supplies were my supplier, and have always been good to me, but I switched to the RSPB for most foods and livefoods.co.uk for the mealworms (in 2kg boxes!) The RSPB send me a special offer every week, usually for something of which I just got a month's supply.
Peanuts: forget it. The woodpecker is the only bird interested in peanuts.
Treat pellets with insects, aka buggy nibbles: top food in winter. Fill a peanut feeder with this stuff and watch it get mobbed.
Treat pellets with berries, aka fruit nibbles: second or third choice. They really prefer the bugs.
Seed mix: everyone's got a favourite. I put out the feeder mix with dreid mealworms and the starlings threw the lot on the floor to get at the mealworms. I put out the feeder mix without the mealworms and the finches threw the lot on the floor to get at the sunflower hearts. Currently, I have the "feeder mix extra" and it gets cleaned up. The least popular bit is the little, reddish balls. They go, though.
Live mealworms: currently everybody's number one food. If you want a bird to land on your hands for food, this is the food to use. Even the finches are ignoring seed to hunt these nutrient-rich wrigglers. This is how you feed baby birds. Smaller ones are more expensive, and the birds are quite capable of dismembering a large one to feed it to their babies a chunk at a time.
Treat blocks aka cakes: the same as nibbles, but they charge VAT on the cakes. The big cube of a "squirrel-resistant" feeder is also starling-resistant, which the oval one isn't, so if you want other birds to have a chance, use the cube one ... or use one of each.
I did an experiment with treat blocks, cutting up blocks from the local fruit shop, the supermarket, Garden Bird, the RSPB and a big DIY place and putting them all out in the feeder together, in different patterns. No matter how I arranged them, the birds would find the GB and RSPB blocks and demolish them. They went through three whole blocks from those suppliers before they'd bothered to eat even a tenth of anyone else's block.
Fat balls? Nobody was interested. Nothing wanted them.
Footnote: feeder cages! I got the barrel-style cages from GB, and the squirrels lifted the tops off and went down inside the tubes to get at the food! This wrecked the lids and the mesh tube. Also, the rain tended to get in and flood them, so the bottom of the plastic tube was always jamming up with soggy, rotting seed mix. I made porches for them, and very elegant little porches they were too, but between big birds, squirrels and a few windy days they got smashed off. I also had to put wire around the bases to stop the squirrel hanging off the bottom of the mesh and reaching in to sweep food to the edges.
Now, instead, I have Homebase feeders with bell-jar cages and plastic cone bases. They can be screwed on either way up. On the seed mix feeder, I have it set to shed the mix over the sides onto the ground. Yes, this creates a patch of sunflower seed husk, but that's part of the price of having bird feeders. On the "peanut" feeders (full of treat pellets with a few peanuts on top that have been there all year) I have the bases "dish" way up, to avoid spilling such good food on the ground where rats and pigeons can get it. There is a slight drawback to this: the wire hoop is barely long enough, so getting it on and off the hook is a bit fiddly. Obvious answer would be an S-hook, but so far I've coped with it being fiddly.
A rat did find its way into one. It even managed to get back out after I startled it, too ... but the second time I startled it I startled it by blowing a 4.5mm hole through it from left kidney to right shoulder, so it didn't get very far.

Because North Shore Medical Center and Massachusetts General Hospital work together, and have a collaborative cancer center, electronically accessing Kimball's medical records made for a seamless transition to the NSMC Cancer Center. In no time, Kimball had an appointment with NSMC radiation oncologist, Derek Chism, M.D., who administered her treatment. She says right away, the NSMC Cancer Center felt competent and caring. "The people at the Cancer Center are some of the nicest I have ever met," she said. "In addition to providing the highest level of care, they are kind, loving, and they're interested in you—not just as a patient but as a person."
Radiation treatments now completed, Kimball's latest mammogram in August came back clean. She will now take the drug Tamoxifen for the next five years to decrease the chances of her cancer returning.

Below is an excerpt from Joost de Valk, aka "Yoast," on why choosing your WordPress theme very carefully is a prudent thing to do, especially if you care about search engine rankings (SEO).
Why some WordPress Themes hurt your SEO.
(You do care about your search engine rankings, don't you?)
The issue in question on this one affects not only a lot of free themes but also premium themes. Joost calls out StudioPress as one of the themes that have been optimized for SEO.
A careful observer will note that this site is built on StudioPress
From the article:
Once again, I want to tell you to not blindly trust theme authors when they say their theme is SEO friendly. "SEO friendly" is just a label they put on their theme and since most of their customers don't know what to look for to see if it's actually true, yet know that it's important, it helps "sell" themes.
I'm kind of a geek when it comes to this stuff, but I'll admit I'm not as hardcore as I used to be. It's mostly because I take the following precautions:
- I use StudioPress a lot. It's my go-to choice for themes now. You will note that I have around 100 websites, using different themes. I use StudioPress on nearly all new installations of my own. I recommend the Genesis framework to every client.
- I make regular backups, using WPTwin.
- I use Yoast's very own SEO plugin.
- I (try to) write
goodgreat content.
- I have some "best practices" that I follow when setting up a site as well as when making new posts and pages. You really ought to subscribe to the newsletter for the skinny.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. – Only one of the 10 empty slots vacated by AirTran Airways in August was filled in a lottery for Westchester County Airport flights, and airport manager Peter Scherrer said he was not surprised at the Wednesday night Airport Advisory Board meeting.
The one slot that was filled was not filled by an extra flight: JetBlue transferred one of its flights to a different time slot. That flight will depart to Florida, but the exact city is currently unknown, said Scherrer.
"One of the big things that's happening in the airline industry throughout is they're very reluctant to start any new operations because of the price of fuel," he said.
Airlines are "very gun shy about starting new service because they just don't want to make a mistake," Scherrer said.
"They're trying to keep the profits they have, and it's a risk when you start a new service," he said. "'Are we going to get enough people? Is this going to be a loser for us? How long can we sustain a loser?'"
AirTran, a subsidiary of Southwest Airlines, had been flying at the airport since 2007. It accounted for 10 percent of the airport's 100 daily flights and was responsible for 300,000 of the 2 million yearly airport passengers. Airport and Westchester County officials were notified of the move Jan. 20. AirTran's last flight took place Aug. 12.
"Everybody loved AirTran in here," said Scherrer, who added that it had low, competitive rates. "That was a real hit to us."
Although Westchester has lost passengers and money, Scherrer said it is not significant compared with what other airports have experienced.
During the lottery, JetBlue also upgraded one of its flights from a 100-seat E190 aircraft to 150-seat A320 to pick up some of the AirTran passengers. Delta has indicated that it will do the same, which means moving from a 70-passenger flight to one with 90 passengers, Scherrer said.
The capacity upgrades lead to more efficient planes and more money for the airport.
Looking forward, Scherrer is hopeful that airlines will fill the rest of the slots in a January lottery. Four lotteries are held per year, which allows airlines to switch time slots, add flights and change capacity among other things.
"We're hoping that the economy picks up," he said. "We're hoping that someone wants to get one of the slots. JetBlue is just being very conservative I think. If I were betting, I'd say they'll pick up one slot in the next lottery – try to do one new flight in the lottery, but again they're all being conservative."
AirTran flew from Westchester to Atlanta, served by Delta, as well as West Palm Beach and Orlando, Fla., which are served by JetBlue.
It pulled out of Westchester to bring AirTran into the "Southwest network" of flights, which meant canceling service at some locations, said Whitney Eichinger, a spokeswoman for Southwest Airlines.
