Everyone who's anyone in the realm of digital marketing will know that blogger outreach has exploded in the last couple of years. More and more people are seeing the value of themselves being a blogger. Likewise, marketers have figured out that there is an advantage in utilising bloggers to boost their business' content marketing strategy. However, with Google's algorithm changing so frequently and unexpectedly who knows how long this craze will last?
Nevertheless, in the meantime, this article will focus on how to make the most out of this trend by exploring the type of bloggers to approach, how to contact them and the best ways to preserve that rapport.
1) Who To Contact?
It makes sense, and undoubtedly makes the job less time consuming, to approach those bloggers who have something in common with the service or product you're offering. For example, if you're offering a travel service, contact travel bloggers and journalists who have their own websites. Or if it is a children's toy you want to get reviewed, it would be best to contact the 'mummy bloggers.' With their experience and the help of the little ones, they will be able to provide a detailed review containing appropriate keywords, anchor texts and links.
The products or services that the blogger will be reviewing and the blogger's own topic authority need to be related so that the anchor text and links are genuine. This will protect your blogger outreach efforts from ranking penalties.
2) Detecting The Value Of The Blogs
So, you've found a blog that you would like your service or product to get featured on, but is it a valuable blog? With the birth of Google Penguin, it has now become vital to link to the appropriate page. Also, the focus is now on the quality of the links as opposed to the quantity. To help with judging the value of links, it is highly recommended to use the tools and data provided by MajesticSEO. Their easy to understand Citation Flow and Trust Flow metrics are fantastic for this task.
3) Contacting The Bloggers
After finding that perfect blog to promote your business and get the all-important link from, it is now a matter of contacting them. Usually an email is sent and that is perfectly fine, but when a blogger with a good quality blog is approached every other day, how do you make sure that your email gets noticed, read and responded to? The recommendation to this would be to write a succinct and catchy headline that summarises the gist of the email. If it's a book you want to get reviewed, write 'Book Review Request' or 'Product Review Request' (notice how the start of each word is capitalised? It makes the subject more eye catching).
In the email, let the bloggers know that you have taken the time out to read their blogs. Inform them which of their posts you have enjoyed reading and/if you like the choice of imagery, colour or style of writing they have used. Furthermore, tailor each email to each individual bloggers and make it specific to them. More importantly, use their actual name where possible.This shows that you respect their blog and would make them more open to your request..
Moreover, notify the bloggers of how they will benefit from working with you. Perhaps you have a large social media following or you are in contact with people who you could introduce to them so that more opportunities are opened for them? By doing so, the bloggers will feel encouraged and motivated to work with you.
4) Upholding The Relationship
It is not the end after you have received a link or exposure on their blog. Maintain that relationship by showing them appreciation for making the effort. This will make them feel valued and the next time you ask for another favour, they will not think twice in saying yes to you. Moreover, follow them on social media and feel free to comment on their posts. By doing so, it shows that you are actively taking an interest in them and that you have not 'used and abused' them solely for the value of a link.
Interested in promoting your business through blogger outreach, but do not have the time or the resources? Then by all means contact Receptional. Our dedicated team have the experience and expertise to make sure that your business is getting the coverage it deserves.

Determine how much webbing you will need for each utensil holder you will make. Do the math to see how many yards you will need. I chose 18" of webbing for each of the 4 holders I made. That means I needed 18" x 4 = 72", divided by 36" in a yard, means I needed two yards of webbing.Cut your webbing to length, fold in half, and then fold down the front by 1/3. I pinned at the bottom of the webbing, and again at the folded down portion on the front. I chose to stitch on the machine the folded front portion. Be careful not to sew through to the back portion. After sewing down the front folded section I sewed with the sewing machine all around the edges of the webbing. If you do not own a sewing machine you could use embroidery floss and stich with a blanket stitch or cross stich pattern around the edges.At this point your project is finished, but, you can embellish them further to match your décor. Some suggested embellishments could include buttons, clip on earrings, or lace.Jute Webbing Utensil Holder

Short Singapore
Short Brothers had great hopes the Short S.5 Singapore
I prototype, but its primary claim to fame
is that it was used by Alan Cobham for his 23,000 mile (37,015
km) survey flight around the African continent. The S.12 Singapore II
of 1930 was no more successful, but the S.19 Singapore III submitted
to fill the Air Ministry Specification R.3/33 was rewarded with an
order. Largest of the RAF's pre-war biplane flying-boats still in
service at the outbreak of World War II, the Short S.19 Singapore Mk
III was powered by two tractor and two pusher Rolls-Royce Kestrel
engines, mounted in back-to-back pairs.
Development of the Singapore's basic design began with
the Mk I of 1926, and was followed by the Mk II of 1930, which did not
go into production. The Mk III was Short's submission to Specification
R.3/33 of which four development aircraft were ordered and the first
flew in July 1934. This batch underwent trials at the Marine Aircraft
Experimental Establishment, Felixstowe, and, following the completion
of these, a production order was issued against a new specification,
R.14/34. Contracts followed in batches, and production ceased with the
37th aircraft in June 1937.
The four development aircraft were delivered to
squadrons for operational training, and the first production Singapore
Mk III flew in March 1935. Deliveries began to No. 230 Squadron at
Pembroke Dock in April 1935, and other Singapore Mk Ills went to Nos
203, 205, 209 and 210 Squadrons.
Nineteen Singapores were still in service at the
outbreak of World War II with Nos. 203 and 205 Squadrons. The last
operations were flown by No. 205 Squadron in October 1941 before the
squadron received the Consolidated Catalina. No. 203 Squadron received
Blenheims in March 1940 and other squadrons received the Short

Is it Time to Worry About Matt Cain?
So far, 2014 has been a great year for the Giants. They've got the best record in baseball, they're cruising along in first place, and the team's been getting production from nearly everyone.
It hasn't, however, been a great year for Matt Cain.
San Francisco's right-handed ace has already missed four starts due to injuries. The first was a freak (not Tim Lincecum) incident. While making a sandwich before his start on April 24, he sliced his right index finger. He ended up missing two starts during "sandwich gate."
More recently, he returned to the 15-day Disabled List with a strained right hamstring. It was retroactive back to May 22, and he's expected to make his start this weekend in San Francisco. The right side of his body seems to suddenly be accident-prone, so is it time to start worrying about "the horse"?
Not just yet. Somehow, despite Brandon Belt's broken hand, Buster Posey's back, and Angel Pagan's back, the Giants are winning. They're winning a lot. And even though they've been without their big right-hander for one-third of the season so far, they're still in first place. As with the other injuries, the team has stepped up. And the starting pitching has been no different.
Madison Bumgarner went 5-0 in the month of May. After giving up just four runs over his last five starts, Tim Hudson now has the second-lowest ERA in the Majors at 1.75.
But perhaps most impressively has been the production San Francisco has gotten from its fourth and fifth starters. Despite being inconsistent, Lincecum has been competitive, recording a quality start in five of his 11 games so far in 2014. His most recent game wasn't technically a quality outing, but he did no-hit the Chicago Cubs in five shut-out innings of work. He's giving his team a chance to win, and the Giants are capitalizing on those opportunities, going 9-3 in his 12 starts. His 4.18 ERA is a little worrisome, but Lincecum posted an ERA of 2.86 during May. Let's hope he can carry that momentum (or momenTIM, if you will) in June as he faces off against Homer Bailey in Cincinnati on Tuesday night.
Fifth starter Ryan Vogelsong has also been impressive so far this year, far surpassing the expectations of many. He's posted six quality starts in 11 games. His 3.45 ERA is third-best among Giants starters and 28th in the National League (among starters with at least ten starts), and one bad outing in Colorado (1.1 innings, five runs) skews that number. He's already had three starts in which he's shut-out the opposition, giving him one more than he had in all of 2013. San Francisco is 8-3 in his starts, making the team 17-6 when their fourth and fifth starters are on the mound. That's pretty dang good.
In place of Cain, Yusmeiro Petit has been a capable replacement. In five starts, he's 1-2 with a 5.81 ERA. He's been inconsistent, but a work horse, allowing the Giants to give Cain the rest that he needs for his hamstring. So far, the team hasn't missed the right-hander too much, but they'll need him down the stretch. Cain's 1-3 record isn't accurate in describing how good Cain has been. His 3.66 ERA is decent, but his 2.30 ERA in his three May starts is downright impressive. He's also gone at least seven innings in three of his eight starts, and his team will need those long starts and his strong arm for the playoff push.
All in all, it's not time to panic yet on the mysterious injuries of Matt Cain. Let's hope he's getting the rest he needs and returns fully healthy, ready to keep the team in first place.
And for goodness sakes, somebody keep him away from Jeremy Affeldt.by

I presented a session at TechEd yesterday called "Windows Embedded: From Sensors to Servers" – the session was based around the Beckhoff CE 6.0 hard real-time wobbly stick demo. The demo is much more than just proving the real-time capability of CE 6.0, there are a number of components to the demo.
One of the questions that came up in the session yesterday was whether it's possible to host the Silverlight Web Application on Windows CE – Let's take a look at whether this is possible.
Q: Where does a Silverlight 2.0 application run?
A: In the client browser – NOT on the Web Server.
Q: What is the Silverlight 2.0 application?
A: A .XAP file produced by Microsoft Expression Blend 2.0 (Designer) and Visual Studio 2008 (Developer).
Windows Embedded CE 6.0 supports an HTTPD Web Server that can host HTML files and support files (JPG, BMP, TIFF, PNG, ActiveX controls [that must be registered on the Windows CE server]).
Supporting a Silverlight application only requires that you have the appropriate HTML file, and the .XAP file in the appropriate place on your Windows CE operating system image.
The operating system only needs the Web Server component (SYSGEN_HTTPD) as a dependency for running/hosting the Silverlight 2.0 application.
Adding the HTTPD Web Server to your operating system image will create a folder called \Windows\www\wwwpub – this is the folder that you will need to place your HTML and .XAP file(s).
To prove this works I took a shortcut…
Voila! – You are now viewing the Silverlight Application, hosted by the Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Web Server.

Ok, so it was fairly difficult to concentrate on the clothing of our beloved Kate and the Wicked Witch this week due to the almost overwhelming amount of man-flesh on display. Never fear fashion fans, aided with the 'rewind' feature I was able to persevere, and present to you the latest edition of the Ruby Slippers.
The Evidence – Kate
Outfit the First
Justin's shirt, socks, I heart San Francisco knickers.
Have to say that I'm a fan of Kate in Justin's shirt, mostly because it means that Justin isn't wearing it.
Outfit the Second
Black sleeveless, square neck top, waist belt, fushia and black print pencil skirt, peep toe block heels, chunky ring, jacket with rolled sleeves, unseen pendent necklace.
Yay! It's Fun Kate! I adore the splashy floral print skirt, teamed with the fun accessories. Unfortunately we don't get to see what the actual pendent is on her necklace as it spends its time dwelling down the front of her top. I'd also like to point out yet another pair of sensible heels. I'm actually quite starting to miss the giant platform heels of earlier in the series. Really like this outfit.
Outfit the Third
Black sleeveless top with white/grey trim, pencil skirt, belt, grey peep toe shoes
And Dull Kate's back. <sigh>
Outfit the Fourth
Cone heeled shoes, crackle print flippy skirted dress, red belt, tuxedo style jacket.
Hurrah for Fun Kate! I'm seriously beginning to wonder whether I should be checking for behaviour differences in these two Kates, is Dull Kate on some sort of evil mission? Wait, if the first outfit of the show was Fun Kate, does that mean that it was Dull Kate who woke up in Justin's apartment? This needs more investigation. Anyway, the outfit? LOVE IT. I have spoken before of my love of Kate in a twirly flippy skirt, the red belt gives this a much needed pop of colour, and the tuxedo style jacket just adds to the quirky goodness.
The Evidence – Lauren
Outfit the First
Suit with asymmetric fastening jacket and pencil skirt.
Maybe it's just the geek in me, but there's something about that jacket that reminds me of Star Trek dress uniform. Not in a good way.
Outfit the Second
Grey high-neck knitted dress with self-stripe, oversize silver chain necklace and matching ear rings.
Loose hair alert! Lauren's all flustered over the elusive Mr Smith and Teddy's will, and of course, as usual, this is expressed through a loss of control over her hair (to be continued with Outfit the Third's hair style). I do always love to see out favourite ice queen in icy grey though, and as usual she pulls this off with aplomb.
Outfit the Third
Navy mac with gold buttons.
We don't really get to see a lot of this outfit, but I thought if Justin's shirt counts as an outfit for Kate, this really has to count as an outfit for Lauren, especially as it's a very nice coat. What's most worrying is the positively crazy wavy loose ponytail; poor Lauren, she must be hurting.
The Verdict
The Ruby Slippers go to… Kate!
Kate wins this week for Outfit the Fourth, quirky office-ready fashion at its best.
Special 'Men'tion this week goes to Richard for his collection of colourful blazers. Dapper.
Fairly Legal continues every Sunday at 8pm.

Two schools with two completely different histories will meet on Navarre Field on Friday.
SMCC, founded in 1846, has a storied athletic heritage. Coach Jack Giarmo is in his 15th year as head coach of the Falcons.
Warren Michigan Collegiate was established in 2007, the year head football coach Alfredo Calderon started the program, playing half of the first season in junior varsity.
The differences in experience do not make feel Giarmo feel at all at ease about the matchup his 7- 2 Falcons have at Navarre Field against the 6-3 Cougars.
" The only advantage we have is that we are playing on our own field," Giarmo said. "Other than that, this is a tough draw for us."
Albeit young, the Cougars come in with an explosive, speed-driven offense that outscored opponents 310-163, led by explosive play from junior Larry Bell and senior Teo Redding, who has committed to play for Bowling Green next season. He is the first Michigan Collegiate player to be recruited to a Division 1 school for football.
" Teo is just a phenomenal player and athlete," Calderon said. "If we throw the ball, we just know he will catch it. He just makes plays."
The Cougars' speed is what Giarmo is focusing on in preparing the Falcons for the first round.
" They have a team of great speed," Giarmo said. "It is hard to simulate that speed in practice to prepare for it. We are going to have our hands full defending these guys."
Calderon feels the same way about handling the Falcon offense. Michigan Collegiate has been following SMCC football since the Cougars played their first games as a JV squad in 2007, trying to emulate the Falcon way and the Huron League success, according to Calderon.
"All three running backs are phenoms. The quarterback is amazing. They just run the system so damn well," Calderon said. "I have been following the program for years and I am a big fan of the coaching staff. Jack Giarmo is by far one of the best coaches in the state of Michigan."
Michigan Collegiate will have to be ready to "play from behind," as Calderon said, understanding how difficult it will be to gain a lead from the Falcons at home.
" We will have to play absolutely amazing," Calderon laughed. " Their offensive line really knows how to get the ball."
Giarmo agrees that the battle will really be fought in the trenches when it comes down to it.
"Our defensive and offensive lines will have to execute and play amazing football if we are going to win this thing," Giarmo said. The Falcons are being careful not to make assumptions based on the Cougars' 6-3 record, as Bell and quarterback Rudy Hayes were injured for the final two games, cutting production from 43.0 points-per-game to only 9 in the span of two games.
Hayes and Bell are suiting up for the game at Navarre on Friday.
Giarmo, although conscious of his opponents' speed, is confident in his team, if they can put all of the pieces together.
" The highpoint of the season was our win at Airport," he said. "It showed our guys that if we do things right, we will win."
Make sure to watch the matchup between the Falcons' defensive backs and the speed that Redding and Bell will bring to Monroe on Friday.
" We really try to run the ball to open up the pass, and with Teo, we have a real weapon," Calderon said.

Getting acquainted with Windows 8.1 has been a slow process that started early this year, but it looks like it'll finally hit shelves in roughly two months. According to an unnamed source cited by ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley, the RTM build of the operating system is still on track to hit manufacturers by the end of August, and the OS -- along with new hardware carrying it -- will be publicly available come mid-October. Those hoping to get their hands on the near-final software ahead of time via MSDN or the sunsetting Technet are out of luck, however, as the outlet's tipster claims the final portions of 8.1 won't be obtainable through those means until general availability.

Although his films take him to unexpected places and delve into his subjects' deepest secrets, Andrew Jarecki finds life the same as always when he heads home to Rye.

Texas Rangers promote minor league relievers Ben Rowen, Lisalverto Bonilla to major league camp
SURPRISE, Ariz. – With a little less than three weeks to go until opening day, the Rangers are adding to the pitching competition in camp, not necessarily trimming it.
On Tuesday, the Rangers announced submariner RHP Ben Rowen, the organization's Minor League Reliever of the Year in 2012, and RHP Lisalverto Bonilla, the second player acquired in the Michael Young deal, had both been promoted to major league camp. Both have been sharp in major league cameos and the Rangers bullpen situation remains unsettled, so the team decided to take longer look at them.
"Both guys have impressed us and deserve to be here," Rangers President of Baseball Operations and GM Jon Daniels said. "They have created opportunities for themselves. We've got a number of guys who have thrown the ball well, but there is still opportunity when you don't have anything set in stone."
The Rangers really don't have any more knowledge about the bullpen than they did at the start of camp. RHPs Joe Nathan (closer) and Jason Frasor are on the team. LHP Michael Kirkman, who was likely to make the team out of spring training since he is out of minor league options, has been perhaps the most impressive pitcher in camp.
Beyond that? Questions abound. While options abound for a second lefty to pair with Kirkman, the right-hand side of the bullpen, where there figure to be three spots open, has not been as strong. Josh Lindblom and Tanner Scheppers have both struggled to keep the ball down. Non-roster invitee Evan Meek, a former All-Star, has been hit hard and Kyle McClellan, the leading candidate to be the team's long man, had not appeared in a game as of Tuesday morning. He was scheduled to make his debut Tuesday afternoon against Milwaukee after a battle with shoulder fatigue. The Rangers have since added RHP Derek Lowe as a likely long relief option, but Lowe won't pitch in a game until Friday.
Rowen, 24, is an extreme submarine pitcher whose knuckles almost drag against the mound during a funky delivery that includes a cocking-action type of leg kick. In three seasons in the minors, all at Class A or belowm, he has compiled a 1.63 ERA in 149.1 innings. That includes 125 strikeouts and just 35 walks. His strikeout-to-walk rate last year at Myrtle Beach was 52-3. In two spring outings, he has allowed a hit and nothing else.
"He throws a ton of strikes," Daniels said. "We want to see a little more of both of them."
Rowen does not figure to be a late-inning type of reliever, but more of a sixth- or seventh-inning guy. Bonilla, 22, could have the ability to grow into a setup man or even a closer. He showed off a 95 mph fastball in his one scoreless inning in a major league exhibition. He also snapped off a couple of crooked sliders. His best pitch, however, may be his changeup. He will get the opportunity to show it off a little more over the next couple of weeks.
The Rangers were expected to make a small round of cuts, mostly pitchers, sometime Tuesday.

Polk City, Florida-- Sheriff's Homicide detectives utilized dental records to identify the victim in the suspicious death incident in Polk City yesterday.
Officials say the victim has been identified as 20-year-old Laura Michelle Hunt from Plant City.
Her death has been ruled a homicide, and her ex-boyfriend, 21-year-old Patrick Wilkey, has been arrested and charged with First Degree Murder.
According to the affidavit, Gary Walker found Hunt's body yesterday in a wooded area near his home, around the intersection of 300 Walker Lane and Berkley Road.
Walker stated he was pulling into his driveway when he noticed buzzards flying away from the woods. He parked his truck, walked towards the area, and found Hunt's body lying face down in a black, hooded shirt with no pants on and a black belt around her neck.
Walker notified emergency officials, and PCSO detectives responded to the scene.
Officials say they determined Hunt's body laid in the wooded area for approximately 18-24 hours before being found.
Reports indicate an autopsy conducted today ruled Hunt's cause of death as manual strangulation, and her manner of death a homicide.

Q: Why should I attend a pre-orientation event?
A: Many new students say they wish they had started at TU knowing at least a few other people.

During these experiences you will get to know upper class student leaders and parts of campus. Come fall you will be more confident and prepared for your life as a TU student.
Q: When is Orientation?
A: Welcome to Towson is what we call our orientation program, and it takes place on Saturday, August 22 through Tuesday, August 25. Unlike many other schools, we do not have a summer program for new freshmen. By providing orientation during the four days before classes begin we maximize the amount of time that you have to get to know other new students, faculty and staff.

Rest assured, you will be glad that we require your participation!
Q: What is an "OL"?
A: OLs, or Orientation Leaders, are upperclass students who are here to help you adjust to college life. They will facilitate discussions, give you advice, and lead you through Welcome to Towson. These students applied and interviewed for these competitive leadership positions. They also went through extensive training in preparation for your arrival at TU.
Q: When do I register for my classes?
A: To start the process be sure to fill out the Academic Interest Form online by the June 1 deadline. Advisers will register you for your first-semester courses based on your academic interests and course availability.
If you need assistance regarding your class schedule or other academic concerns, please contact the Academic Advising Center:
Q: Who is my Academic Adviser and when do we meet?
A: Each new freshman is assigned a First-Year Experience (FYE) Adviser for his/her entire freshman year at Towson. You will meet with your adviser during your FYE Meeting at Welcome to Towson.
During the semester, you should plan to meet with your adviser to discuss any questions you have about your transition, and also to receive intentional advising and remove your hold in preparation for your spring semester course registration.
Q: How do I request on campus housing?
A: In order to live on campus, you need to complete the Online Housing Request process. See the Housing and Residence Life Housing Request for details about requesting housing.
Q: Where can I get more information about Housing at Towson?
A: Information about roommate requests, room rates, and other housing related topics is available from University Housing.
Q: What are the Barton, Douglass, Paca, & Tubman Houses and Millennium Hall?
A: These housing locations are in the West Village area of campus, and are managed by Capstone Management. They have a separate application process. More information is available from Housing and Residence Life.
Q: What should I know about moving in and living on campus?
A: Read about Moving In for helpful information on many topics, including preparing to have a roommate and what to bring with you.
Q: What resources are available to students living off-campus?
A: Off-Campus Student Services (OCSS), based out of the Office of Student Activities, is the primary resource for students living off-campus. They offer programs and services to all students that commute to Towson.

JSE flat in quiet tradeComment on this story
The JSE was flat (-0.03%) at noon' despite the US Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke's decision on Wednesday to go ahead with further monetary easing. Some market participants' however' fear that this might come to an end earlier than expected.
The Fed will now snap up $40bn a month of mortgage-backed securities and $45bn worth of bonds' meaning that the Fed has switched the expiring US$45bn operation twist into an expanded QE3.
At 12.57am' the JSE all share index was flat (-0.03%) at 38'752.68 points' with gold miners posting the biggest gains (0.68%)' while resources gave a little back (-0.53%) after a good run this week.
Leading European bourses were trading in negative territory with the UK FTSE 100 seen 0.26% softer at 12.27pm local time.
"The US Fed gave us more money earlier than expected' but the gold price has dropped quite significantly' losing more than 1% today' which is quite strange. Bernanke has linked QE with the US inflation rate and US unemployment rate. The desired US inflation and unemployment levels might be reached quicker than thought' and then QE3 will be stropped' and that is probably why world markets are trading lower'" a local trader said.
At 12.57am the gold price was seen trading 0.75% softer at $1'695.95 per fine ounce from $1'708.73 on Wednesday.
On the JSE' Anglo American (AGL) shed 1.92% to R259.41' Gold Fields (GFI) lifted 1.3% to R101.58 and Barloworld (BAW) gained a further 2.59% to R82.07.
Richemont (CFR) was off 1.67% to R67.06' but the counter has made huge gains in the past few months.
In the banking sector' African Bank (ABL) jumped 2.66% to R30.84' despite trading ex-dividend.
Construction group Aveng (AEG) improved another 2.38% to R30.50 and PPC (PPC) jumped 4.23% to R33.99' it's highest level for a number of months.
Pick n Pay led the retailers with a 2.61% gain to R43.30. - I-Net Bridge

Hi, guys.
Much to my surprise, I got an e-mail from Ford today, confirming that I can, indeed, switch between "D" and "S" modes with the car moving (unlike between the other modes - P, R, N and D - in which the car has to be stopped).
Just wanted to post this here, in case anyone else has this question and finds this thread.
Also, thanks for your help.Go to the full post

Carson Daly, Scott Wolf Both Name Babies Jackson
It's a... Jackson!
Stars often go out of their way to name their newborns something completely original (rapper M.I.A. recently opted for Ikhyd!), but first-time fathers Carson Daly and Scott Wolf decided to go more traditional -- and ended up naming both their sons, who were born one week apart, Jackson!
See adorable photos of celeb babies.
The Last Call with Carson Daly host, 35, and girlfriend Siri Pinter welcomed their baby boy on March 15, one week before Wolf's wife Kelley gave birth on March 22.
Jackson, a name which originated in 14th century England as a patronymic meaning, simply, "son of Jack," is a common choice. It rose in popularity in the early '80s, and in 2007, it was ranked the 33rd most popular boy's name, as reported by the Social Security Administration.
Take a look at other pregnant TV stars.
Both dads are happy with their respective Jacksons.
"Kelley and I are having the time of our lives, Wolf said in a statement to Usmagazine.com. "Words can't describe the love we have for our son Jackson. He is the most fun person we have ever met, and we feel so lucky he has joined our family."
Check out more celeb mom gossip!
As for Daly's son, Jackson James, the new parents couldn't be happier.
"Everyone is doing great, and Carson is thrilled to be a dad," his rep told Us.

We concluded our Startup Asia Singapore 2013 event last week with a blast, and our female entrepreneurs had fun on the panel debating issues facing women at tech startups.
At the event I had the privilege to speak with Akiko Naka, CEO of Wantedly, a Japan-based social recruiting site. She told me of her struggles during her corporate career and how she managed to take the first leap to pursue entrepreneurship. Her love for coding and a stint at Facebook Japan inspired her to create her current startup, and she hasn't looked back since.
Her advice to entrepreneurs out there? Gender doesn't matter. The three skill sets necessary to survive in this technology and startup industry? Read on to find out more.
Tell me a little about yourself.
I was born and raised in Japan, always had an interest in web services and front-end coding as my dad was teaching IT at a university. I had my own Mac since elementary school, and used to create visual games using Visual Basic. Later at a university I ran a small business with few other members, who are all students, creating static homepages.
I chose Goldman Sachs as my first career, but I just could not forget my passion for web services. So, I moved onto Facebook Japan at the age of 25 where I felt a phenomenonal social wave coming to Japan. I then started building my own service Wantedly, a social recruiting site at the age of 26. Now the service is taking off after a year from its launch, having over 1,000 clients and about 40,000 members, making us the largest social recruiting site in Japan. Now Wantedly has eight full-time team members.
What is the startup about and what's your role?
We believe good hires happen through friends' recommendations, because having mutual friends guarantee the quality of candidates to an extent. It works the other way too – where candidates have a good chance of meeting a good team through mutual friends. We have a core feature called "support this job listing" that encourages your friends and team members to share job listings. In this manner, through the power of social media, the listing gets passed around, leading to a good match.
Companies are able to list one job for free, forever, but will be required to pay JPY 35,000 (US$355) for unlimited job listings. Our clients include DeNA, CyberAgent, Amazon Web Services, SalesForce, and Engine Yard.
I currently serve as the CEO and am in charge of marketing, hiring, and a bit of front-end coding. My previous experience includes front-end coding so I still help design, UI, and fixing bugs.
How and why did you get started in this industry?
Two reasons for me choosing social recruiting. First is my passion in work. Our goal is to grow the number of people who truly love what they do as their job. My first career at Goldman Sachs was exciting but at the same time I started to ponder; I wanted to do something that creates 1s and 0s; the finance industry is more about calculating millions, and it was not something that I was truly passionate about.
Initially it was tough to move on to the next career. And I feel that there are so many young people like me who are afraid of stepping forward to pursue what they truly love. With this, I want to help those people to make the first move and discover a job that they would fall in love with.
The second reason is my experience at Facebook. I was fascinated with the power of social media, during my stint at Facebook Japan back in 2010. I was amazed at how it empowers individuals, and hence wanted to create something surrounding the same theme.
The birth of the social recruitment service, Wantedly, was a beautiful marriage between the love for work and social, allowing people to pursue the career they truly love.
Did you face any challenges in particular?
In the early days, I had my friends to help code and create a prototype of the site. However, my friend was holding on to a full-time job and could only help me at night or on the weekends. Hence productivity was pretty low. So I self-taught Ruby on Rails with a book to build a prototype. Learning backend coding was not easy but I tried hard and came up with something that works. That prototype was featured on TechCrunch and created a huge buzz. That was my first challenge, and my first turning point in my entrepreneurial life.
How do you seek out relevant mentors and people for help?
Fortunately for me, I knew many CEOs and entrepreneurs through various events and work. I relied on those people (around five to six of them), and asked for advice so they were my mentors. The biggest chance I had to create that kind of network was attending Infinity Ventures Summit (IVS) in Japan.
What were the sacrifices you've made in the pursuit of this move? What was fundamentally different between a corporate career and startup life?
To me, it felt like I gave nothing up to pursue this. To put it this way: I think I was sacrificing so many things working for larger, and more established companies.
The difference between a corporate career and pursuing the startup route is freedom. In a corporate career, it is very difficult to pursue what you truly love. The fear of losing a stable fixed income sometimes blinds you and makes people difficult to step out of corporate career. In a startup life, you have the choice of freedom. You, of course, will have less income in a short term, but upside potential is unlimited. I believe, learning how to build a service/organization/business in your twenties is much more important than earning some amount of money and doing what you are not passionate about.
Do you think your gender has played a role in helping you gain an advantage over your male counterparts? (soft skills, personal touch, attention to detail, etc.) Has it been a disadvantage in any way?
Perhaps in terms of publicity. I had many interviews and much media exposure in Japan due to my gender, and that's due to being in an industry where I form the minority.
In your opinion, what are the necessary skill-sets and attitudes required to succeed in the technology and startup industry?
First is to learn fast. The key is you have to learn very fast in order to survive. You need to execute fast, fail fast, and learn fast.
The second is to focus and keep things simple. Focus on what you are doing – keep your product, UX, and organization simple. Just do one thing at a time.
Lastly, be user-oriented. Always place the users as your priority and don't let any excuses come in your way. Stop giving yourself excuses, like "this is too hard to code". Do your best to realize the best user experience.
In summary: Learn fast, focus and think/act/make it simple, be user-oriented.
Do you have any female role models that you look up to?
At present, no. But I do look up to Steve Jobs, Hayao Miyazaki who is an animation creator, and Taro Okamoto, who is a contemporary artist.
Do you have any advice for fellow female entrepreneurs?
My advice is that you don't need to be too conscious about your gender. I have never been. Just be you, and you might get lucky in terms of publicity if you stand out in the pool.
Are you single or married at the moment? How to you strike a balance between work and personal life?
I am not married, but I'm hoping to be within a few years. I think having a family is a very important factor in our lives. It would be ideal to spend half of your time at work, and half of your time with your family. I believe family is as important as work.
Anything else to add?
Wantedly is solving a problem to reduce the number of people who hate their career. Work should be something that you truly love and makes you want to dedicate your life to doing it. To achieve that, we have come together to build and operate Wantedly, which we're proud to say is the largest social recruiting service in Japan. We believe having a good team matters, which adds value to loving what you do.
[Update on April 28, 2014] Akiko will be speaking at our upcoming Startup Asia Singapore conference held this May 7 and 8. We have also extended our 10% discount till April 30. So hurry, grab your tickets using code EarlyBirdApril on our website here.
This is part of Tech in Asia's series on female entrepreneurship.

Fighting against my mind,
fighting for the reason,
fighting against the time,
when I feel so alone and prisoned.
A prisoner of myself,
who lost the touch from reallity,
the thoughts is all that I have,
precios thoughts,
without them, I fear,
that I couldnt live,
one more lie,
because I wouldnt know,
if am alive, or a fly,
to the world, that passes.
I need a reason to exist,
even if they are just mere thoughts,
but more than thoughts,
I miss the voices of people.

masl ali wrote:Question : How can I extract the image objects from mylist?
Confusion: mylist is a ILoIF so I cannot get the first of the list because ILoIF is
an interface and not a ConsLolF.
Steve Luke wrote:
I think you are confusing the generalization of 'coding to the interface' to mean 'whenever a class implements an interface, you should always refer to an instance of the class as the interface type.' This isn't true. In the case of ConsLoIF, it looks like you have some functionality in the class that does not exist in the interface. In this case you need to refer to the instance as the ConsLoIF type, rather than the interface type, when you need access to that unique functionality. Your interface should only be used when its more generic common functional definition is all that is required.
A more broad analysis of the issue might be that you do not abstract enough of the functionality into the interface definition. Perhaps it needs a method to get the image, and another method to get the next ILoIF node ('rest'). But maybe not, you know more about how these classes/instances are designed than I do.
masl ali wrote:Thank you for the explanation but I think I found a workaround. Type Casting. If I want to access the rest of ConsLoIF as a ConsLoIF all I have to do is (ConsLoIF)rest.

Sony adds voice search via remote microphone to Google TV set-top box
updated 09:20 pm EDT, Sun June 9, 2013
Voice search main addition to Google-powered smart TV addition
Sony has announced it is adding voice search to the next generation of its Google TV set-top box. The NSZ-GS8, the updated version of the NSZ-GS7, has a relatively unchanged trackpad and keyboard-based remote design from its predecessor, but the addition of a microphone allows it to be used for the vocal control system that Google demonstrated late last year.
The NSZ-GS8, named the "Internet Player with Google TV" by Sony's online store, effectively combines the various features of Smart TVs into a single box, though the voice search is the main headline addition, according to Engadget. It provides Internet access through Chrome, various apps for streaming audio, video, and social networking, and is able to use an existing cable or satellite service to provide live TV channels and program searches. Connectivity over Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB, and HDMI, Dolby Digital Plus audio processing, the option to use a tablet or smatphone as a remote control and second display, and 8GB of local storage are also included.
The NSZ-GS8 will be on sale in early July for $199.

Enjoy spill-proof sipping at work or on the trail with the 20 fl. oz. CamelBak eddy™ water bottle.
Redesigned cap and bite valve provide faster flow and enhanced durability
Flip, Bite and Sip. No tipping required (though possible: just remove the straw)
New, sleek shape fits in the hand and most cup holders
Dishwasher Safe: All parts are top-rack dishwasher safe
Durable and spill-proof
Easy to carry: Integrated loop handle makes it easy to clip a carabiner or carry with the crook of a finger
100% free of BPA and BPS
Wide-mouth opening is easy to fill with ice and water and a breeze to clean
CamelBak Big Bite™ Valve is compatible with CamelBak® eddy™ and CamelBak® Groove® bottles
CamelBak® Got Your Bak™ Guarantee: If we built it, we'll Bak it™ with our lifetime guarantee.
CLEANING THE EDDY The bottle, bite valve, straw and lid can be cleaned in the top rack of the dishwasher or by hand with warm, soapy water. Pull off the bite valve and straw from the cap. If you like to use a bottle brush, we don't recommend forcing a brush through the Bite Valve slit. If you have the brush kit, run the small brush through the straw.
For a deeper cleaning, add a drop of mild soap or tablespoon of bleach to a clean glass jar filled with water. Drop the bite valve, straw and cap into the solution, and tightly close the jar's lid. Shake the mixture around for 30 seconds, and then let the parts soak for about 15 minutes. Rinse and shake dry.
To re-assemble the lid: Flip the stem collar (the component the bite valve attached to originally) to the open position. Orient the bite valve so the finger tab points towards the front of the cap. Push the bite valve firmly onto the stem collar. Press the straw back into place on the bottom of the lid. Ensure the straw covers the notches completely.
First-time use: What's the clear thing on top of the cap for? Do I remove it or cut it to drink?
The clear thing is the CamelBak® Big Bite™ Valve. This patented feature provides easy drinking and spill-proof safety. Do NOT remove or cut this piece to drink. Simply bite it slightly and sip as you would out of a straw.
Can/How do I freeze the CamelBak® eddy™ with bite valve?
You can freeze the bottle but make sure:
We also recommend that the bite valve stem NOT be flipped up or down if there is any frozen water in the tube. Wait until thawed.
Can I use the CamelBak® eddy™ in high-altitude/ low-pressure environments (i.e. airplanes, mountain altitudes, etc)?
Yes, but with special care because pressure can force liquid out through the straw. Keep the bottle right side up with the bite valve in the closed position. Remove the straw for additional protection. Expect a bit of "spurt" during the first sip. You may also twist the cap open to release any pressure and then close before your first sip.
Can I put hot liquids in it?
We do not recommend using with hot drinks because the experience will be similar to drinking hot liquid through a straw.
What happens if I put sports drinks/juice in the CamelBak® eddy™?
Use of any of these drinks in the bottle is fine, but thorough cleaning after each use is recommended.
Can I use with carbonated beverages?
You can use any beverage in the CamelBak® eddy™, however we do not recommend the use of carbonated beverages with the straw configuration because pressure can force liquid out through the straw. To use with carbonated beverages, we recommend that you remove the straw and drink via "tip and sip."
What max temperature (freezing/boiling water) can the CamelBak® eddy™ withstand?
The CamelBak® eddy™ can withstand being filled with boiling water or stored in below freezing temperatures. We do not recommend boiling the bottle itself. Is the CamelBak® eddy™ microwave safe?
Feel free to use the CamelBak® eddy™ to warm up liquids (ie. up to a minute), but we don't recommend cooking your dinner in it. Do NOT microwave with the cap in place as it contains metal screws that are not microwave safe.
Does the CamelBak® eddy™ work with back country purifier filters/microfilters?
The CamelBak® eddy™ is compatible with filters that adapt to a 63 mm screw top opening (in other words, it's compatible with most filters on the market).
Does it hold residual taste?
No, there is no residual taste in the bottle materials, and it's also stain-resistant. Some sports drinks and other flavored beverages can leave behind residue of flavor oils that could require extra cleaning.
What happens if I take the straw off?
Removal of the straw allows a "tip and sip" mode of drinking.

This is a great product, but if this is your first time using, it may not be as easy to just bite and sip. You actually have to pull apart the slit at top so you can drink. So take off the rubber mouth piece at the top. Then pull apart at the tip. Once the slit is open, it is works great.

The Perfect Waterbottle
By The water drinker
from Tiburon CA
I bring this water bottle with me everywhere, and that is what is so great about it. It is so versatile, I can bring it with me everyday to school and also I can bring it on runs and when I go outdoors without worrying about it getting scratched. It holds the perfect amount of water and comes in great colors!
Great product with a unique sense of style!
By Minny
from Austin, Tx
The delivery was on point! The water bottle has a unique color and is definitely a recommended good brand. Handy, easy to carry.
By Jax
from AZ
This product is cute and really easy to use. I would suggest biting the nippy a few times to get it to work, but other than that it works great! I use this for Gymnastic practice, school, working out, or even just relaxing. There are some down sides to this though. When the bottle starts to get older, it will start to leak, due to the seal on the bottle wearing out. When I put it in my backpack for school, it tends to leak on my books and get everything wet. I would recommend putting a sock over it to stop it, at least that works for me. Another downside is that it starts to mold in the Nipple/Nippy of the bottle. The mold doesn't really go away, even after several washes. This doesn't always happen, i just bought a new one a couple months ago and it seems to be fine. It holds a lot of water, and it really helpful on the go. My whole family has one and it's a great product overall.

It's great!
By Devany
from Ohio
I use this every day, throughout the day. I carry it with me all around campus (I go to university), and I drink from it at home. I also take it with me to the gym. It's easy to drink from, nice quality, and easy to carry. It also looks nice.
Must buy
This water bottle has revolutionized my life. I am drinking so much more water. I am so healthy. I don't even really love water but just by taking it with me as much as possible I am drinking around 10 times more water than normal. PLUS. It is fun to carry around and drink out of. And it won't break if you drop it. And it doesn't leak. This water bottle is the best thing since iPhones.

After one dishwasher cleaning on the top rack the bottle leaked sen held sideways or upside down.
Do I like my CamelBak?
By The Water Babe
from Winston Salem, NC
Wow.......do I ever love my CamelBak. I love the smaller size Camelbak, 6L size. It fits perfectly in my car cup holders and fits my bicycle cup holder. It is just the perfect size and so handy. I never drop it because it loops through my finger. I own three.
Worst Water Bottle Ever
By Clair
from Iowa
I have had my water bottle for only four months and it leaks all the time. There are no cracks in it, but the straw will just spit out water even when it's closed, I have tried taking it apart and putting it on tighter and it still leaks! It also says it is easy to clean and it is not, all I drink out of mine is water, but inside the nose got dirty and in the straw, this was impossible to clean! I would not recommend this!

Evolutionary Models of Behavioural Choice
Paul Ormerod, Director, Volterra Group
3rd Feb 2012 11:00 am - Room 214/215, H69 - Economics and Business Building
The overall environment in which agents make choices has evolved rapidly. There is now a vast proliferation of alternatives. In many cases, the products are complex and difficult to evaluate. Further, greater connectivity means that agents have become much more aware of the decisions, ideas and behaviour of others.
In such circumstances, we observe two key features of the outcomes of agent behaviour. First, right-skewed non-Gaussian distributions of outcomes at a point in time. Second, turnover of the ranking of alternatives over time.
I consider models of agent behavioural choice which are compatible with this empirical evidence.

Dave Evans | January 21, 2009 | Comments
When you start a social campaign with a genuine, consumer-centric offer, all roads lead (eventually) to success.
One of the keys to a successful social marketing campaign -- or any campaign -- is the degree to which it's built on something that's inherently talkworthy. Seth Godin has written about it in "Purple Cow" (which derived its name from his son's observation that a purple cow would indeed be remarkable), and countless blog posts and bits of social media have documented experiences that truly stood out.
So it was when Rich Harwood, blogger and founder of The Harwood Institute for Public Innovation, sent me a post about Hyundai's Assurance program. You can watch the commercial on YouTube, from Goodby Silverstein and Partners, that introduced the program.
The Hyundai Assurance works like this: First, you buy a new Hyundai. Then, if during the next year you lose your income, Hyundai will take it back, but not in the way you're probably thinking.
It's common for any auto finance company to take your car if you can't pay for it; countless country music songs stand as testament to this harsh reality. Instead, the car company will take the car back without a penalty. That's remarkable and makes this such a perfect social campaign right now.
It's so remarkable that purchase intent for Hyundai automobiles rose 15 percent with the launch of this campaign, according to Edmunds.com. In this market, any increase would be welcome, let alone a 15 percent rise in intent, an achievement that would be welcome in any market. The campaign concept was borne out of the realization of what the economy feels like to consumers: it's a truly empathetic response to a dire market condition.
Dave Zuchowski, Hyundai of America sales VP, understood that the clutter factor around the balance of the industry ads -- built on concessions, prices breaks, and similar short-term efforts -- was incredibly high. So Hyundai asked a simple question: What does it feel like to be sitting right here, right now?
The answer? "I'm scared that if I lose my job, this new car, any new car, is going to be big problem for me." So the car manufacturer tackled that and cut through everything else in the process while laying a foundation for a strong social program. Which brings me back to Harwood.
Harwood defined the Hyundai Assurance program as the basis of a new social contract between buyers and sellers, in this case auto manufacturers and consumers. This kind of thinking is core to the effective use of social media marketing.
The emergence of a stronger, more visible social contract as a marketing extension isn't coincidentally occurring at a time when consumer-generated media and social media are gaining marketing influence. This campaign is absolutely genuine. Ironically, the biggest problem Hyundai faces now is convincing people that this offer is real.
What would marketing be like in general if all campaigns exhibited the same degree of empathy as this one? Sure, Hyundai wants to sell more cars. And, it'd probably sell a few more if it cut the price (actually, it's already low) or extended the warranty (at 10 years/100,000 miles, it's already among the longest) or gave buyers free ScotchGard or rust proofing (already comes with that, too).
Instead, it jumped to a different curve, and increased the tangible value of the relationship between company and customers in the process. Hyundai effectively said, "Buy from us, and if you get into economic trouble later on, we'll help you out." Outside of those occurring in actual families, you'd be hard pressed to find business and financial transactions based in that kind of commitment.
What does all this have to with social media marketing? Given the inherently social nature of this campaign -- meaning it's talkworthy and the kind of message that people will naturally share -- the social conversation is already happening.
Social media doesn't exist in a vacuum. It's part of the larger marketing context, just as it's part of the larger content library that's open to ordinary people. Social media builds and amplifies what people find interesting, regardless of where it came from.
On Twitter, @PLRVideos said, "I saw this on TV the other day and thought that those that can think 'Outside The Box' are the ones that will rise to the top." @BenAckkerman said, "Ok, Hyundai assurance really blows me away. Great idea on their part," while @Imantion said, "Genius marketing. Return car if you finance/lease vehicle and lose income. Reduces risk of taking on new obligation."
Sure, there are skeptics too, recalling the "Repo Man" and similar images. Consider, though, that all of these comments are now at the center of the next round of Hyundai's work: to assure people that this offer is genuine.
On the social Web, a skeptical public actually helps drive interest, and in this case takes more potential buyers one level deeper into a correct understanding of the Hyundai program. More validation of the simple premise that when you start a social campaign with a genuine, consumer-centric offer, all roads lead (eventually) to success.
Hyundai's new social contract is a campaign that's aimed right at the consideration phase of the purchase funnel, deep in the customer's mind. It's a place where there is surprisingly little clutter. Be there, or be square.

there is an interesting issue on these new tyres....the ones that were creating a roblem wer tyres designed with a bias in the weave of the belt. this was to make a unidirectional tyre,, but then teams swaped tyres from side to side, and the adverse bias was then causing the overheating.
pirelli had clear markings on the barcode label to denote which side a tyre was to be used on, and teams flouted that. have a look at the bar code on the NEW tyres. they are no longer coded left or right. this seems to imply that there is no longer a bias on the belt. so tyres will be able to be swapped with no adverse effect. interesting!

Conjuring Clouds
Page 2 of 3
Even with the new support, you can't just "plug in a server" and expect to use it for cloud computing, says Reuven Cohen, founder of the cloud-computing platform company Enomaly and the Cloud Computing Interoperability Forum. Instead, cloud computing relies on a series of layers. At the bottom is the physical hardware that actually handles storage and processing–real servers crammed into a data center, mounted in rack upon rack. Although companies are loath to disclose the size of their data centers, John Engates, CTO of Rackspace, says that hosting companies typically build them out in modules of 30,000 to 50,000 square feet at a time. Running on the hardware is the virtualization layer, which allows a single powerful server to host many virtual servers, each of which can operate independently of the others. Customers can change configurations or add more virtual servers in response to events such as increases in Web traffic. (It should be noted that not every cloud provider uses virtual servers; some combine the resources of physical computers by other means.)
Then comes the management layer. In place of platoons of system administrators, this layer distributes physical resources where they're needed, and returns them to the pool when they're no longer in use. It keeps a watchful eye on how applications are behaving and what resources they're using, and it keeps data secure. The management layer also allows cloud companies to bill users on a true pay-as-you-go basis, rather than requiring them to lease computing resources in advance for fixed periods of time. Better billing may seem like a small detail, but it has turned out to be a key advantage over earlier attempts to create on-demand computing.

Stumbling along with eight losses in their past 11 games, the Buffalo Sabres got a shakeup on their weekend road trip: Coach Lindy Ruff benched captain Craig Rivet on Friday in Atlanta and, the Buffalo News reports, decided to do so again Saturday in Dallas.
"Just a healthy scratch," Ruff told reporters at Friday's post-game press conference. "No player understands. He won't understand."
The Sabres also will play Saturday without winger Nathan Gerbe, who was struck in the face by a teammate's shot on Friday.
Rivet, a defenseman, admitted he was disappointed and angry by Ruff's decision.
"It's the ultimate wake-up, it's the last straw, it's something that when you're taken out of the lineup, you need to re-evaluate yourself and your game," Rivet told the News.
"I don't feel that I was playing up to my capabilities. Do I think I was playing terrible? No."
Ruff's decision didn't come lightly.
"I put a lot of thought into it," he told the News after Friday's loss. "I said the guys that are playing the best are going to have to play.
"[Rivet] just hasn't played well enough, hasn't played well enough. That's just the bottom line. He missed training camp, and it just seems like he's a step behind right now."
Ruff also benched Rivet, 36, for the final 11 minutes of Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, the News reports.
Rivet had offseason left shoulder surgery. He has one assist and is plus-1 in nine games. At 15:44, his ice time per game is last among the the Sabres' eight defensemen, the News reports.
"Obviously, it sends a message that things are not good enough around here for anybody, center Derek Roy told the News. "We can't be happy with the way we're playing."
The Sabres recalled Luke Adam from AHL Portland to replace Gerbe. Late in Friday's second period, Gerbe was hit in the jaw by a wide slap shot by defenseman Tyler Myers and didn't return to the game. There was no further information on Gerbe's injury.

They harness panoramic x-rays to get a complete view of the teeth, and they broadcast these pictures on a TV, which helps them explain which treatments are necessary and to point out which tooth would look best with an inlaid diamond chip.
Floss Dental encourages patients to keep coming back by offering free Invisalign consultations and free Boost whitening once a year to those who maintain their regular cleanings. Flat-screen TVs and satellite radio entertain patients during their procedures, and sedation dentistry keeps them free from anxiety in a dream-like state.

When completing body and frame repairs, the front body and underbody dimensions must be correct, because these dimensions directly affect wheel alignment and steering angles.
The degree of damage should be determined by using a steel tape, tram tracking gauge and centering gauge or other measuring device. The measuring points are shown in the Body Repair Manual for each model. Wheel alignments are shown for each model.
The jig is assembled according to the instruction card specific to each vehicle model. The jig, which can move forward/backward, left/right, and up/down, is anchored to each location on the underbody. The three-dimensional coordinates for the anchored point are read from the scale at the sliding base and jig head positions.
It is set on the straightening equipment for use.
A laser beam is used for measurement. Once set, repair work can be performed during measurement.
The computer compares the vehicle model data and the actual measurement data to identify the damage range and determine acceptability.

Simon Cowell, at 'The X Factor' 's season finale on Dec. 20, didn't look quite so smug when paparazzi caught him sunbathing in St. Barts. / Jonathan Leibson, WireImage
Simon Cowell is seldom one to shy away from much. Train your paparazzi lens on his bare midsection in all its St. Barts-bathed glory, however, and he suddenly gets all modest.
Seems the 53-year-old singing competition-show chieftain is taking an opposite approach to what celebrities typically do on island holiday: Covering up. When photographers focused in on his toplessness as he relaxed on a yacht, an annoyed-looking Cowell grabbed what looks like a magazine and then an arm to hide his (hairy) chest.
Here's guessing his X Factor co-stars Britney Spears and Demi Lovato wouldn't have been nearly so bashful.

This version only covers the first 4 chapters (or about half) of the book, so it is NOT an abridged full version. The description is quite misleading.

Tuesday, Dec. 4
Show starts at 9:00 p.m.
The Hidden Hand
506 W Gaines Street
England in 1819
Founded by Andrew and Dan Callaway and their father Liam, Louisiana indie rockers England in 1819 intends to bring back the sonic escapism prevalent in New Wave movement of the late 70s and early 80s.
The boys were born in England and grew up in the quiet outskirts of the country, but when they moved back to the United States for better education in classical music, they found indie rock as another way to channel their creativity.
On Tuesday, Dec. 4, the band will play at The Hidden Hand. The family of musicians are touring across the entire Southeast to promote their latest release, Alma.
Its kind of atmospheric stuff with some electronics underneath there, think of like Beach House and bands like that, England in 1819 guitarist and primary songwriter Andrew Callaway said.
And while they might be in the vain of bands like Beach House or Explosions In The Sky, the Callaways also bring a uniqueness to their sound by incorporating their prior musical training in their songs.
Dan Callaway, the bands bassist, plays the French horn on some tracks to differentiate the bands texture in a way that just isnt possible with more traditional rock instruments.
The kicker is their father Liam is the steady groove behind the drum-kit, which shows that age has no musical limitations. As for how the band got their start, Andrew says it just worked out by happenstance.
We all ended up in Baton Rouge at the same timeme, my dad and my brother, said Callaway. So we just started playing some songs Id been writing, and its not like we were setting out to start a band, but we just started playing places and it took off. It just kind of happened real naturally once we were in the same city.

Jodie is also spanked at spankingoverskirts.com in many differant storys and the only site where she is whipped on her back as well
the knickers from British Home Stores- thank you both !
I love that "she forgot to put on her panties" i bet there so many women that forget lol!!
Jodie is a really cute spankee. I would love to spank her. Her butt is just so .... well, cute and spankable.
Our friends in the USA must be a bit lost in this discussion of BHS knickers and Clarkes shoes. Clarkes, I believe, are no more. They are probably now down below being kicked for all eternity by irate adolescents in very sturdy but unfashionable shoes. BHS hangs on. Are they still a source for "practical" knickers which will last forever? If not, how will "schoolie" spanking vids be able to continue? Perhaps the price of BHS's survival has been to cater for the free market, rather than the imprisoned one.\n\n\n
I love how she is so quick to get back over the lap of her spanker after pulling her pants down. I would like a turn across that lap too. Great no non-sense spanking. Just right!

OverviewAs you can see we've gotten a good start on documenting the projects that you can get involved with in WebKit. However we have many more documents that we would like to write. The documentation project tracks everything from the current Web site design to ideas for new developer docs and technical docs.
Get Involved!Here are some tasks that you can help with.
- Developer Documentation
- We would like to build up a web site that describes in detail the DOM methods, CSS properties and APIs that are supported by the different versions of Safari and WebKit, so that people have a place to go to where they can find out what we support.
- Project Documentation
- We can always use more technical documentation, from helpful tutorials on using WebKit APIs to technical documents that describe how a particular functional area of the code works.
- Use Blogs/Wikis
- We may in the future use blogs or wikis for the project pages. This would enable them to be updated more easily and to allow collaboration to take place within the project pages themselves.
- Existing Documentation
- Introduction to WebKit Objective-C Programming Guide
- [TODO: Add links to other existing Apple docs]
