An automated dipstick urinalysis is often done as part of an overall urinalysis, but it can also be done on its own, depending on the doctor's concerns.
Once a urine sample is collected, a nurse or technician will place a specially treated chemical strip (dipstick) into it. Patches on the dipstick will change color to indicate the presence of such things as white blood cells, protein, or glucose.
The dipstick is then placed into a machine that uses beams of light to analyze the color changes. A machine reading can provide more detailed information than a manual reading.
The results of an automated dipstick urinalysis may point to diagnoses such as a urinary tract infection (UTI) or injury, kidney disease, urinary tract trauma, or diabetes. If test results are abnormal, other tests may be needed before a definite diagnosis can be made.
No preparation other than cleansing the area around the urethra (urinary opening) is required for the automated dipstick urinalysis.
Your child will be asked to urinate into a clean sample cup in the doctor's office, lab, or hospital.
The skin surrounding the urinary opening has to be cleansed just before the urine is collected. In this "clean-catch" method, you or your child cleanses the skin around the urinary opening with a special towelette. The child then urinates, stops momentarily, and then urinates again into the collection container. Catching the urine in "midstream" is the goal. Be sure to wash your hands and your child's afterwards.
If your child isn't potty trained and can't urinate into a cup, a small soft plastic tube (catheter) may need to be inserted into the bladder to obtain the urine specimen.
The technician or nurse then will place a dipstick into the urine sample and put the dipstick into an automated reader.
Collecting the urine should only take a few minutes. If your daughter is having her period at the time of the test, let the doctor know.
Because the test involves normal urination, there shouldn't be any discomfort as long as your child can provide a urine specimen. It's important to keep the area around the urinary opening clean before the test and to catch the urine sample midstream.
The results of the automated dipstick urinalysis usually do not take long, and your doctor will review them with you. If abnormalities are found, further urine tests may be needed.
No risks are associated with taking an automated dipstick urinalysis. If a catheter is used to obtain the urine, it may cause temporary discomfort. If you have any questions or concerns about this procedure, talk to your doctor.
The automated dipstick urinalysis is painless. Explaining how the test will be conducted and why it's being done can help ease any fear. Make sure your child understands that the urinary opening must be clean and the urine must be collected midstream.
If you have questions about the automated dipstick urinalysis, speak with your doctor.

The Detective and the Boy
I entered the room, "Jamie honey, what are you doing here?" my aunt asked. I knew how hard she'd been trying to act normally over the last few hours, I'd seen her crying just after she'd spoken to the police for the first time. But she stopped as soon as she saw me. The man she was talking to now was tall and thin, with a bored expression on his face.
"Why did this happen to him?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper.
"We don't know." he said in a tone that suggested he may have told her this already
"But you're the police, you must be able to tell me something!

Okay I confess im only 25 weeks with my first pregnancy and im already tired of being pregnant!! It always seem like i'm always tired,drained out and uncomfortable.Don't get me wrong i'm looking forward to being a new mommie and i'm anxious and cant wait for the baby to get here but I just feel down all the time what should I do?????
Comments (10)
LOL, I was the same way! Some women aren't cut out to be pregnant. I hated it with a passion. Just think of the end result and try to suffer through... I know I will at least once again, if not more. It's only 9 months, it goes quick and now I actually kind of miss it.
I was tired often as well. I think it's something that just comes with being pregnant. Hang in there! Before you know it, your baby will be here. If you don't have other children to take care of, my advice to you is to nap and go to bed whenever your body tells you to. If you do have children, try to follow my prior advice as much as you can!
I hear ya. Everyone also told me that I would miss being pregnant after the baby was born and that I should enjoy it for the time being. But I dont miss it for a second. I was too heavy to walk and tired and achy and off balance and always hungry. For me it was such a relief just to finally have my baby out of there!
First time Mommy to beautiful little Hailey Anne! Friday, 1/9/09 at 6:58pm, I first held my 7lb, 7oz perfect little package!
Oh man if you're tired now, just wait until 38 weeks... Those last two weeks are killer! You're fat, uncomfortable, can't sleep, and you just want the damned thing over with! :)
Play a few rounds of "poke the baby", get a foot rub from your SO, go for a walk and count how many women look at your belly and smile, draw pictures on your belly. Oh and if you have anything requiring the least amount of organization, do it now because it will never get done once you LO comes!
Today is my due date and let me tell ya I can't wait for this to be over! I've never enjoyed being pregnant, the aches and pains, the worrying, the hunger, all day morning sickness, tiredness, unsolicited advice/opinions, hormones.... yeah, not what I would call the best time of my life. Anyways, looking back time has flown and in spite of all the rediculousness, every day that goes by that she's still in there I treasure feeling her movements a little more because soon it will be over and I won't be doing it again (no siblings for Lola). Also every day I fall asleep thinking maybe tomorrow "fingers crossed".
thats just the way it is. just keep counting down the days. it seema like 9 months of pg time is like 2 years normal time. hang in there

Let go of the guilt now. Pregnacy can get old. Fast. Especially in the warmer months. Between the media, in-laws, and nosy strangers, everyone will try to make you feel guilty for everything...breastfeed or not? Cloth or disposable? Paficier or no? Cry it out or Dr. Sears method? Co-sleep or crib? Stay at home or work? It is enough to exhaust anyone. Pamper yourself, now and after your baby comes. Good luck and congrats!
Teaching is...the profession that makes all other professions possible.
I'm with SillyMtrix.
I've got 60 days to go until my DD should be arriving and I feel ya! I hate being pregnant! If only my SO could take her into his belly for 24 hours!!!! But I do enjoy the little kicks and movements. I just don't like feeling like a hippo or not being able to sleep or not wanting anything to do with anyone!

Being pregnant is both wonderful and not. I've had 3 and they were wonderful in that I could carry my baby everywhere and they were always with me. What sucked was that I had to carry the baby everywhere and she was always with me. LOL. I miss knowing the baby is always safe and fed and warm inside. And I mis the way it feels when they move or how you know she's sleeping. But it hurts so much and the heartburn is horrible. Not being able to put on your shoes or lay on your stomach. and when your hands and feet swell up real bad. Pregnancy is a blessing and a burden. but it's so worth it!
I HATED being pregnant. I honestly hated just about everything about it. But now that I've had her I realize what a miracle it was. Nothing could have prepared me for the first time I saw her and this emotion much stronger than any love I've ever felt took over me and at that moment I knew I would do it over a million times for her. I also wasn't prepared for all the "advice " that everybody seeems to have. So the only thing I miss about being pregnant is everybody gave me my space because they knew I was hormonal and if they said the wrong thing I would go off on them.

The Ground War
Taliban Give Way in Final Province Where They Ruled
By DAVID ROHDE with ERIC SCHMITT
Published: December 10, 2001
KABUL, Afghanistan, Dec. 9 — The five-year rule of the Taliban, exceptionally harsh even in a land governed for decades by bloodletting, came to an official end today as the last Afghan province slipped from their control. Their fractious opponents, due to start governing in two weeks, agreed to bury some of the many feuds that could jeopardize peace, but the two men most wanted by the United States continued to elude capture.
American B-52's intensified their bombardment of a complex of caves in eastern Afghanistan where Osama bin Laden was believed to be hiding, and American marines in the south and the army of neighboring Pakistan tightened the dragnet on the ground. Nonetheless, there was no sign of either the Taliban's leader, Mullah Muhammad Omar, or of Mr. bin Laden himself.
Hamid Karzai, the designated leader of the interim government scheduled to take power on Dec. 22, rode into the Taliban's former stronghold of Kandahar in an unarmed convoy today, entering the city for the first time since its surrender was announced last Thursday, according to an aide.
Mr. Karzai, who was born in Kandahar in 1957 but fled after the Taliban took control, reportedly used Mullah Omar's bombed-out residence to lead a meeting and broker a deal to end fighting between two rival anti-Taliban groups.
In Washington, officials said new evidence had been found linking Mr. bin Laden to the Sept. 11 attacks. Administration officials confirmed a report in The Washington Post that the United States had obtained a videotape showing Mr. bin Laden giving a detailed description of the attacks. In a casual conversation, Mr. bin Laden marveled at their success, officials said.
"He does, in fact, display significant knowledge of what happened," Vice President Dick Cheney said on the NBC News program "Meet the Press." "And there's no doubt about his responsibility for the attack on Sept. 11."
Anti-Taliban commanders near the fortified Tora Bora cave complex in eastern Afghanistan said they were preparing for a major ground assault.
Hajji Muhammad Zaman, commander of the forces attacking the caves in Tora Bora, told The Associated Press that Mr. bin Laden "has not escaped, and we will do everything possible to make sure he doesn't."
Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said on the CBS News program "Face the Nation" that members of Mr. bin Laden's Al Qaeda group were fighting for their lives and the clashes were "very fierce."
"We know that the Al Qaeda forces are relatively large in number just because of the ferocity of the fighting," he said.
A spokesman for the Northern Alliance said Mr. bin Laden had taken personal command of the fighting and had dug in with 1,000 loyalists. "Osama himself has taken the command of the fighting," Muhammad Amin told Reuters in the eastern city of Jalalabad.
It was impossible to confirm Mr. Amin's claims or to verify how much territory opposition forces have seized. Afghan commanders say they have gained control of half of the caves, but they have shown none of them to reporters.
Tribal groups who control the Pakistani side of the border near Tora Bora said they had agreed to allow several thousand government troops to enter their semiautonomous region for the first time ever. The troops, along with armed helicopters, will be used to cut off possible escape routes, and will deploy on Monday, Pakistani officials said.
In northern Afghanistan, the region worst affected by a four-year drought and resulting famine, hope flickered for tens of thousands of refugees and the aid groups trying to feed and tend to them. The Friendship Bridge between Uzbekistan and Afghanistan, closed for years by enmity and fear, opened today and a first shipment of aid came across.
At that ceremony, one of the most powerful warlords of the Northern Alliance, Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum, dropped his earlier bellicose attitude toward the new government due to take power in Kabul, saying he would not use force to make his influence felt.
"People say General Dostum will again start bloodletting and war," he told Agence France-Presse. "This is not true. We will hold negotiations in Kabul. The rule of law will return."
In southern Afghanistan, the Taliban surrendered their last redoubt, the province of Zabul, adjoining Kandahar.
"The rule of the Taliban in Afghanistan has totally ended," the Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic Press said.
Mr. Karzai has been criticized for the chaos around Kandahar, but today he successfully brokered a deal ending a dispute between two commanders vying for control of the city, the former Kandahar governor, Gul Agha, and Mullah Naqibullah, a former local military commander who Mr. Karzai had appointed governor.
Mr. Naqibullah relinquished his post to Mr. Agha, who has complained that Mullah Naqibullah was too close to the Taliban. Under the agreement, Mr. Agha will serve as governor and Mullah Naqibullah will serve as his assistant until a new government is formed.
"God willing, I will run the administration of Kandahar with the advice of the local people, tribal elders and mujahedeen commanders," Mr. Agha told The A.P.
An aide to Mr. Karzai said he would travel very soon to Kabul.

The installation of several public health innovations has increased progress toward the eradication of poliovirus within Nigeria and its neighboring countries, according to a recent report.
"Nigeria was very close to interrupting transmission of polio and then experienced an upsurge of transmission," researchers wrote in The Journal of Infectious Diseases. "Transmission in Nigeria has been driven by reservoirs in northern Nigeria, where several states are considered to be at very high risk."

Opportunity and risk report
In connection with risk management, special attention is paid to opportunities and risks that are not explicit elements of planning.
Important aspects result from TÜV Rheinland's global orientation and primarily relate to customers and markets and to legal and political framework conditions.
Opportunities are mainly associated with service innovations in individual Business Streams and Business Fields. Prominent examples of this are new approaches in the area of non-destructive testing, online applications, knowledge transfer and test procedures for wireless devices subject to different standards and areas of application. Increased acquisition of major contracts, such as monitoring and infrastructure projects, offers further potential. Opportunities present themselves in this regard through the option of offering customers a comprehensive package of services in a global network. For example, cross-sectoral solutions are offered for data and information security. As a result, this compensates for market-related risks, such as declines in demand due to regulatory changes or a downturn in certain sectors, such as the area of conventional power plants in Germany.
Dynamic development of international markets
Major opportunities also continue to exist in the continued significant growth of international markets. These include, for example, India, the Gulf region and China, where a diversified presence and continued expansion of the range of services offered are helping tap further potential. In addition to the development of current active markets, penetrating new markets remains a key area of focus. Apart from other Asian countries, this includes the Gulf region and South America. The resulting network, which will follow globalized value chains and client demand even more closely, forms one of the most important strategic pillars of TÜV Rheinland. Another essential component in this regard is the increased M&A activity. Systematic acquisitions follow generic goals which were defined in the corporate strategy. Of particular note in this context are the development of risk and security services in Industrial Services, expansion in international presence and expertise in data and information security, and entry to the professional training market in India. The institutionalized, close coordination between business-specific and regional expertise results in additional opportunities – for example, in identifying new fields of activity and the effective and efficient handling of cross-border projects and services.
Internal Measures
Furthermore, reducing complexity and increasing standardization in all Business Fields open up areas of potential. In addition to optimizations in sales and administration, this particularly includes pooling operations across national borders and the use of innovative IT applications according to customer wishes. Finally, optimized project management can help reduce risks in implementing internal and external development projects and large projects.
Legal Framework Conditions
Relevant risks initially exist based on the stability of political conditions and international financial systems as well as their possible impact on the economy. In this regard, the Group's increasing diversification, both geographically and with regard to the range of services offered, has a risk-reducing effect, meaning that instabilities, such as those currently occurring in Eastern Europe, can be compensated for. Changes to the regulatory framework can result in a liberalization of markets. On the one hand, this is associated with opportunities for TÜV Rheinland. In Germany, for instance, the area of mobility demonstrates that a targeted, nationwide presence, including the provision of solutions for corporate customers in saturated markets with cutthroat competition and the risk of declining numbers, is suitable to promoting long-term success. On the other hand, this also entails risks. One example here is Spain for the Industrial Services and Mobility Business Streams. Risks are also involved in sectoral developments, for example as the result of changes in customer requirements and demand in the field of information and telecommunications technology. In addition to this, various markets also pose a challenge in terms of finding skilled workers in numbers sufficient to enable further innovation and growth. Continued consolidation in the TIC industry, combined with price and margin pressure as well as increasingly fierce competition, pose an ongoing challenge.
Risks may arise both from one's own business activities and from external factors; thus, in the case of breast implants of the French company Poly Implant Prothèse (PIP) TÜV Rheinland is mentioned – in connection with conformity assessment procedures conducted pursuant to the European Medical Devices Directive regarding CE marking – as notified body. PIP continuously deceived the notified body TÜV Rheinland LGA Products GmbH (TRLP) by using a silicone gel for the production of the implants which was not approved for this purpose and was not covered by the certification by TRLP. Immediately after this case of fraud had become known in 2010 TRLP withdrew its certificates, and has furthermore taken legal action against PIP. In December 2013, the accusation of fraud was confirmed by the criminal court of Marseille in the context of the first criminal proceedings against PIP's former management; those who were primarily responsible at the company PIP were found guilty of aggravated fraud and deceit, and some of them were sentenced to several years of imprisonment. In these proceedings, in which TRLP appeared as injured party and thus as joint plaintiff, the systematic deceit – also of the notified body TRLP – by PIP's management was established.
Furthermore, damages claims filed against TRLP in connection with PIP breast implants were dismissed in January 2014 by the Palatinate Court of Appeals [Pfälzisches Oberlandesgericht] of Zweibrücken and numerous district courts in 2013 and 2014. The German courts consistently confirmed that TRLP fulfilled the duties of a notified body responsibly and in compliance with all laws and legal norms applicable in Europe. PIP's fraudulent actions were not noticeable for a notified body, nor could they be detected with the means stipulated by the legislator.
In France, in November 2013 a single commercial court decided differently in the first instance. TÜV Rheinland immediately lodged an appeal against this decision; the claims are unfounded since, according to the legal opinion taken by TÜV Rheinland, there is no conduct giving rise to liability. In September 2014, this legal opinion was confirmed by a decision of the District Court of Paris (Tribunal de Grande Instance de Paris). According to this decision, the District Court of Paris also found that TÜV Rheinland fulfilled its duties as notified body in compliance with the law and norms; this decision is thus consistent with the decisions of the criminal court of Marseille as well as the judgments of German courts.
Systematic risk management
Using systematic risk management, the aforementioned risks can be made more manageable or rather the undesirable effects thereof weakened. Due to the integration of risk management into TÜV Rheinland's management information system, risk is controlled by appropriate evaluation consistently in all companies and Business Streams as well as at the Group level.
Targeted countermeasures are undertaken comprehensively at an early stage to minimize risks and strengthen opportunities. This applies not only to market, customer and competition issues but also to internal processes in particular, such as systematic integration following M&A transactions. Continuous tracking of measures and updating of opportunity and risk reports in the course of the year are obligatory. The Executive Board has set up a risk unit to which the Controlling, Compliance, Finance, Quality Management, Corporate Audit, Legal, and Insurance Divisions belong. Its task is to analyze and evaluate opportunities and risks.
TÜV Rheinland counteracts liquidity risk by means of active financial management, the overriding objective of which is to ensure that all Group companies are solvent at all times. Specifically, this includes systematic working capital and treasury management. The latter particularly includes implementing cash pooling and in-house banking. Financial derivatives are used to hedge currency and interest rate risks.
As far as possible, risks are hedged by taking out specific insurance coverage to minimize their financial consequences up to a defined deductible.

Service Dogs by Warren Retrievers offers its services to those affected by Autism, Seizures, PTSD, and Diabetes, no matter if the patient is young or old. We believe that both adults and children benefit from having a service dog by their side. We get many questions a day about details pertaining to our service dogs. One of the most frequent questions we receive is usually along the lines of; can children get service dogs? Should a child get a service dog? Is it worth it to get my child a service dog? The answer is Yes! Absolutely. Children, as well as adults, can and should enjoy an improved lifestyle because of a service dog. SDWR does have specific guidelines to follow when assessing whether a service dog is right for a specific client, but rest assured that children are not a red flag during this process.
Rebecca's mother, Samantha wrote to our organization letting us know how well Rebecca is progressing due to her Autism Service Dog Charlie, from SDWR.
Dear SDWR, Charlie has been Rebecca's Autism Service Dog for just over two months and in this time we have seen:
– An improvement in her sleep pattern, particularly sleeping later and less night time awakening.
– Her walk him to and from the bus stop with a new sense of purpose and rhythm. She is less distracted and less likely to stop and require redirection to her task.
– At restaurants we have seen an improvement in her ability to stay still and a remarkable improvement with decreased episodes of unusual vocalizations.
– Her outbursts and tantrums are much reduced and she is adapting to change much more readily.
– When she has had outbursts, Charlie comes near Rebecca ready to help when invited. The sensory stimuli she gets from stroking him helps to calm and focus her.
– We saw a dramatic improvement in her language in the first three weeks after his arrival, particularly improvement in her novel speech.
– Charlie has brought to me, the parent of Rebecca, a most unexpected comfort and support I never could have anticipated in this process and for it, I am most grateful.
With Charlie by her side, Rebecca can continue to grow and flourish. For more information and stories about how a service dog from SDWR can help you or your loved one, please visit us Contact Us.

It is a cultural approach, a know-how that took generations to build, and a genuine mission that has allowed Gucci to become one of the world's most desirable luxury fashion brands. All Gucci products are made in Italy, except timepieces, which are made in Switzerland, and fragrances, which are made in the EU.
What are counterfeits?
Counterfeit Gucci products are replicas or imitations of authentic Gucci products that are aimed at misleading consumers into believing that they are authentic products. Counterfeit products are of poor quality, but are sometimes offered for sale at high prices in order to mislead online shoppers. Such products lack the quality, the details and the workmanship which characterize authentic Gucci goods.
How can I identify a fake Gucci website?
Counterfeit Gucci products are frequently offered for sale on websites published at domain names containing the Gucci trademark - or slight variations thereof - together with descriptive or generic terms, such as "bag", "shop", "store" and even words such as "official" or "authentic". These website address names are deliberately selected by counterfeiters, as mentioned above, to mislead online shoppers as to the source and reliability of the products promoted on their websites.
How can I report counterfeits?
To report counterfeit Gucci products or suspect websites to Gucci, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Please provide as much descriptive information as possible about the products or the website, such as the location of the products, the seller of the products, the type of products, the website address, etc. We appreciate your help in our battle against counterfeiting.

National Society of Physical Activity Practitioners in Public Health (NSPAPPH) Quarterly Teleconference
Event Details
When:November 04, 2011 1:00PM - 2:00PM EDT
Register here for this free online webinar.
Event Summary
It' a Two-way Street: Public Health and Transportation Intersect
Presented by: Transportation for America - James Corless
America's transportation system — the network of highways, railroads, public transportation, walkways and bikeways — serves as the backbone of our economy, connects our communities and provides access to the American Dream of opportunity for all. But today it is both incomplete and threatened.
This National Society for Physical Activity Practitioners in Public Health webinar will share (1) the connection between public health and transportation, (2) the status of the federal transportation bill, (3) how physical activity practitioners can support a comprehensive transportation bill (through education and advocacy), and (4) how the public health community can more effectively communicate and work with transportation agencies to create healthier more connected communities—at the state and local levels.

Something decent.
In my case it would go into funding some new notebooks and art pens.
What is there to know about a cyborg hyena?
I tend to type too much, and I am sorry. At least that means I put thought and consideration into what I say, though you may not think so, nor appreciate it.
My main purpose is to post up art and writing as it shows up, and diligently post until the end of the world. As of now, the whole experience has brought me nothing but tear jerking joy and internal bruising.
So far, I have found
Character/Creature Conceptual art
Writing (looking into scripts too)
Sound Design/Music (though by the tiniest hair)
Video Editing
Surreal/Horror (labeled) art
to really be my shtick these days.
I don't get paid anything, because half the time I'm practicing, and the half I'm making stuff for my friends or through blood-signed agreements,
I would like to start my grand adventure by making cd or book covers,
designing characters for short films OR doing some sound work for a short film.
Some chocolate coins wouldn't hurt, maybe I wouldn't have to (SOPA)
so send a note if you want or desperately need a cyborghyena to mix blood and milk for the project.
These selfless boxes are my betters, and my friends.
They keep this shanty kingdom from both collapsing, and re-introducing the Plagues to mankind. Go to them.

Authentic Berber market, 25 km away from Essaouira, in the countryside
This market is one of the most important of the Moroccan South. Very authentic, it is divided into two big parts: the market of the cattle and the market of foodstuffs and ustensils of the everyday life. To take advantage of the cattle market, it will be necessary for you to be on-the-spot relatively early to attend the steady negotiations among which camels, sheep, donkeys and cows are the object. Also interesting: the load of these animals negotiated in any sorts of vehicles, from carts, trucks, car trunks or the seat of the motorcycle. From the producer to the consumer, certain animals are shot down on the spot and you will soon find them in the stalls of the butchers who are on the market.
In the souk, you will meet the traders and the farmers of the surrounding countryside, who come there to sell the goods they produce in the region. Stalls overflow then with fruits and vegetables of season, but also clothes (sometimes second-hand), of kitchenware, or cakes making the happiness of your papillae. For most handymen, it is also the opportunity to buy the production of the iron craftsmen and local smiths, such as nails, etc.
On the spot, you will also find big tents which can serve you as stage, where you will taste the traditional mint tea, delicious Moroccan pastries or will eat a meat kebab. Sat on carpets or squat on the floor, the dialogue can begin and give you the opportunity of endless conversations.
It is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the tourists of passage to get out of marked out paths and to get involved to the local population, at a moment of sincere sharing.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: martinibuster
A way to find out if your site is penalized is to check your website log files and if you see Yahoo Slurp! activity only on your robots.txt and the main home page, then its a sign that your domain is penalized.
Try emailing Yahoo using the following form- [add.yahoo.com...] and if you are damn lucky, then you might get a positive response.
Good luck.
If yes, then there's a great chance that your domain is penalized.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Yahoo is randomizing their SERPs in this way to throw people off. It doesn't say much for their faith in their editors. At some stage some sites with directory listings appeared to be demoted both in regular search and searches limited to the directory. But who knows, really.
Slurp does come to lick around now and then, but its only the home pages and robots.txt
where is that linked from on the yahoo website?
IS this linked from the yahoo website?
To paraphrase it: It told me to do a search for 5-10 unique words on my site, like my title. If my site comes up for these words, then I'm in the Index. I was told that if I come up in that search, then don't fill out the form, because it won't be processed.
If I don't come up in that search, then go to the url that soapystar is inquiring about and fill out the form.
Knew all this before, it's just a big circle.
What is that? That Yahoo doesn't like your website and that complaining about it on WebmasterWorld isn't helping?
Yeah, we all know that. Thanks for telling us again. And again. And again...
Look, instead of wasting your time complaining about your sites inability to rank on Yahoo, your time will be better spent building a new website specifically for Yahoo- in fact, build as many as you can.
To Martinibuster: What I am saying is that I'm trying to find help from Yahoo. Every help lead I follow takes me around in a circle to where I started. I'm sorry you don't like what I write. I'm sorry you think I am complaining. I have a website that is my company and my life. I'm trying to save it. I'm going under.
Thanks for being a helpful moderator.
It's not a good idea to rely on just one website. It's a good policy to constantly be expanding. Don't interlink, make them stand alone with their own backlinks. Use unique IP's, different hosts, too.
If you have expertise in one area, then build over there. If you have knowledge of side niches then expand into those. If you find a lucrative niche but don't know the subject, hire someone to research and write about it. Expand and build all the time.
Complaining about it here is not going to sway anybody at Yahoo to cut you a break. Nobody gets a break, not even me.
as its now being said that its not good to rely on a single site...for me this is the crux of my problem with yahoo.... what they are doing is only hurting the people like mastervisa who are truly not pro seo's (assumption). Poeple with single sites and who put real blood and sweat into those sites are exactly what the internet is about. Pro seo's like is being suggested above are simply creating made-for-yahoo spam and carrying on as normal...the blanket bombing of mom and pop sites is destroying the yahoo index as far as im concerned...
further...the only test of this blanket bombing (screening) of sites by yahoo seems to be through the members of this forum who have been allowed a route to appeal and through pay products such as sitematch..this is not a true cross section of sits affected...this is only screening mostly heavy seo'd sites. I believe Yahoo have a false imprssion of who has been affcted. Sitematch customers and webmasterworld members are not a cross section of the vast numbers of amateur webmasters and their sites out in the wild.
However in the real world as it is now, Martinbuster is giving genuine advice. If you are just looking to get back in then his route is the in reality the only way to go.
[edited by: soapystar at 8:34 pm (utc) on Jan. 26, 2005]
Now I see that doesn't cut it anymore. I have read so many threads on this Yahoo board, it boggles my mind. I already came to the conclusion you suggested. I didn't want to admit it. Since July, 04 I have been bringing a rifle to Y's shooting match when I needed a shotgun!
Bottom line of Martinibuster's advice: If your site is banned or penalized on Y, get a new site. Or two. And cover up your tracks behind you.
End of Discussion.
soapystar: Thanks, that is one of the best summaries of what is going on that I have read. I am not a pro seo, I am a mom and pop business, (my wife and I) and we have been doing this since '98. I've only been reading Webmasterworld for 2 or 3 months.
If you throw a traffic violater in with the hardcores, they will learn new tricks and come out, a hardcore.
I don't think so.
mastervisa is a mom and pop whose website does not rank. Period. Nobody is persecuting this guy, so get off that kick. The sooner he realizes that the better positioned he'll be to make more informed decisions.
As far as I can tell from a cursory check of the site in his profile, his site is not banned or penalized, it just does not have what it takes to rank. I did a very brief check of your backlinks. Nothing obvious popping out on the first page. Algorithms change, happens all the time.
Anchor text isn't going to help him in Yahoo like it does in Google.
I think it's a bit over the line and unproductive the way every time someone thinks they are banned the rest of the peanut gallery comes out with their torches and pitchforks.
It's unproductive because the discussion generally revolves around a false assumption and never comes to the resolution it should because you're frantically chasing red herrings.
mastervisa is a mom and pop whose website does not rank. Period.
As far as I can tell from a cursory check of the site in his profile, his site is not banned or penalized, it just does not have what it takes to rank.
When you have a site that loses position in the results your think Algorithm change.
When you have 10000 pages drop completely out of the index overnight you worry about bans.
When 1-200 of those 10000 pages come and go in the index and they are months old even though you see Slurp revisiting again and again them then you think technical issues.
i have read your post a bunch of times, I've got no idea what you're talking about Martinibuster, you say my faqs page. The link marked "Questions"? I wrote that page years ago. Sorry I don't understand what you mean by dirt on my hands.
There is another domain out there that has that almost exact page and the rest of the site is so close that I got confused which site was yours.
I make pages for people first, and not for search engines. That is what Y wants right? Sorry I copied that page to another site. I was thinking of my site's visitors before I thought about what a search engine might think. What I thought was a helpful page to people is considered dirt on my hands and I am now a spammer.
Let me spell it out for you:
I'm talking about the domain hosted on a separate ip that visually mirrors the website in your profile, and whose content is rewritten in parts but is exactly the same in other places.
You have at least one website out there with substantially the same content hosted on Pair on a unique ip address, registered under the same name as the site listed in your WebmasterWorld profile.
I'm going to have to start charging you for unraveling your network of duplicate websites that you previously expressed no interest in building.
I already busted you for lying about this being your only website. You've lost credibility with me.
This is precisely the kind of thing I'm talking about where people represent themselves as pollyannas and accuse search engines of unfair treatment but when you scratch a little bit the skeletons come falling out of the closet.
I've seen this scenario replay itself over and over- sorry if I sound tired of it, but it's so repetitive I'm getting dejavu all over again. ;)
One time there was an article in the NYTimes where someone accused Google of unfairness and we started ripping his spammy site on WebmasterWorld. I saw a similar one in the SF Chronicle and we unraveled his spammy site in supporters. Another time GoogleGuy himself ripped apart/critiqued someones spammy network and revealed it for the crap-website that it was. Over in AdSense forum they get a steady stream of people who were "unfairly" booted out of the program but virtually all of them have a violation justifying their penalty.
Can we please call a time out here, cut the dissimulation, and be real?
1. I said my main site is not in my profile. I never said I had one website. The site I always refer to having a problem on Y is not in my profile. I sell a widget machine on it. I expressed no interest in building more sites to replace this one.
2. I have 2 sites in the same financial field for 2 seperate banks, is that a network of duplicated websites?
3. I have posted many times that I had 4 sites in the InkPFI, that were all dropped by Y. www.accept-----.com was not one of them. When did I lie?
First business I own is the financial site in my profile.
Second business is in the same financial field, seperate name, different bank. www.accept----
I have another business where I sell a machine. That's the site I refer (complain) about all the time.
I have another business where I sell a type of lock.
Those are my businesses to clarify.

They did a wonderful job with my dogs. My dogs got so many compliments on their grooming.

Great Product!

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
I have the metric version of this product. It works quite well for a socket set. Nothing to really complain about. My only complaints would be that there is no knurling on the handle. When your hands get greasy they are pretty hard to hold. Secondly the pin in the breaker bar doesn't want to stay put. A little thread lock has kept it in place. Other than that its worth the price, they are holding up fantastic!

In the near future, world leaders are mere seconds from signing a global treaty and bringing an end to war as we know it when a devastating terrorist attack rips through the peace conference, killing all in attendance. In a world left with no politicians, diplomats, or activists, only the Generals remain. It's up to you to assume their roles, command of their forces, and put an end to global terrorism once and for all.
Thank you for your participation over the last few months in the Command & Conquer closed alpha test. It's been much appreciated, and you've been instrumental in helping define what a new Command & Conquer experience should and shouldn't be.
Part of being in a creative team is the understanding that not all of your choices are going to work out. In this case, we shifted the game away from campaign mode and built an economy-based, multiplayer experience. Your feedback from the alpha trial is clear: We are not making the game you want to play. That is why, after much difficult deliberation, we have decided to cease production of this version of the game. Although we deeply respect the great work done by our talented team, ultimately it's about getting you the game you expect and deserve.
Over the next 10 days we will be refunding any and all money spent in the alpha. If you have a question about your refund, please contact help.ea.com.
We believe that Command & Conquer is a powerful franchise with huge potential and a great history, and we are determined to get the best game made as soon as possible. To that end, we have already begun looking at a number of alternatives to get the game back on track. We look forward to sharing more news about the franchise as it develops. Thank you again for your participation and support.

F**k this ***t... I'm out...

Oh my god...I just checked the official C&C website, and there is..is...a Generals 2 logo with...Origin logo on it :(..I seriously hope that Origin has been improved a lot when Generals 2 is released...
So I don't know much about the frostbite 2, but are we gonna be able to mod this game or not? Anyone knows?
Frostbite 2 is the engine Battlefield runs on, it alows more destructable terrain, higher graphics, etc. It will obviously be way different from Generals, but I'm assuming (just a guess) that it will be modifiable since there are Battlefield mods out, as long as your good at coding and VERY good at modeling since the graphics will be insanely more detailed from Generals 1
EA if you somehow mess this up i'll...i'll...
Everything that is required to ruin a good game is Origin, if they add that to this game we can already say its gonna be crap...
Near future? Goddamnit i wanted to play the original Generals with updated graphics and more units... Oh well maybe i can take it if there is no tanks like: "OMG I HAVE A SUPER LAZERCANNON PFHOOOWP" *everything goes boom*
Russia add them .............
If a third faction has not been decided I would like to propose a North Korea faction, a lot can happen in 30 years from our own reality, China could actually (likely IMO) be secretly sponsoring and supplying weapons and supplies in small amounts to North Korea.
(hence how they all of a sudden gained the ability to launch ICBMS and detonate nukes IRL)
To tie this in with the Generals 2 storyline, China may have been more open and generous with supplying weapons and essentials to the North Korean military since they "righteously" won the 1st war against the GLA and essentially ruled the world as an undisputed superpower. China may go the way of USSR and try to establish "Satellite Nations" and obviously North Korea would be a prime candidate.
(the other possibly being Vietnam)
North Korea accepts the terms since they would appreciate a change from strict isolationism and the lure of modernizing their military with a neighboring "ally" which happens to be a superpower. China gives them their old military hardware used in Generals 1 so they can make room for a more modernized "peacekeeping" army. A few years pass until we get to the incident where the peace treaty meeting gets attacked thus sparking the 2nd war against the GLA.
Meanwhile, North Korea secretly decides to betray China and goes on a wacko Hitler-esque crusade against the rest of the world using the advanced hardware and supplies that China had given to them.
(possibly forming a secret alliance with the GLA for additional support so they could distract China and the other nations from their true motives until the time was right)
However, this part of the story would not exactly be defined until later on, but it would be an interesting story, nonetheless.
The only thing that gets complicated in this story scenario is if China does indeed get omitted from being a playable faction in Generals 2 then the developers need to come up with a good story as to why this came to be in the first place for the sake of continuity.
If China is still as important as in the first General, they can't be absent... Also, if North Korea start a world-conquest, China might disapprove...
But your idear about an "URSS-like" China is not bad, maybe, instead of China, we could have an Asian Alliance...
agreee!! better put some indonesian/malaysian/or philipnes for asian alliance... xD

Our Star
He ran at me, kicking my feet out under me and tackling me to the ground. I laughed as I tried to push him off, even pulling his overgrown hair and scratching at his arms. He wouldn't budge. "David!" I squealed, out of breath from trying to fight my way out.
He only smiled, replying, "You know I only annoy you because I loooove you."
"I'm beginning to think you actually do," I said, then stopped fighting. "TAP!"
"Nope! Nice try!" David pulled my face toward his so that our lips were only inches apart. His breath smelled like Welch's Grape Soda.
"C'mon, David, the little kids are going to think we ditched them.

According to [url=http://www.gameinformer.com/games/destiny/b/xbox360/archive/2013/02/17/bungie-leaves-halo-behind-as-it-embraces-its-new-destiny.aspx?PostPageIndex=2]this[/url] article from Gameinformer, we can actually look down our weapons' sights in Destiny. I'm glad, if this is true--even though I could have sworn I saw a classic aiming reticle in the ViDoc, a'la Halo. Do we think this was just a placeholder, or is Gameinformer misinformed? (Pun intended). I, for one, would welcome new ADS overlords. Even though I understood Halo's fiction about smart-linked weapons, and why that gave SPARTANs a reticle in their HUD, I've always felt that actually being able to aim down your weapon's sights in an FPS adds a layer of immersion that's otherwise unreachable. I really hope we CAN aim down sights in Destiny.
MorrisseyEdited by Morrissey: 12/14/2015 11:50:58 PM PermalinkWhat's a sight? [spoiler]NECROOOO[/spoiler]
Oddball2/19/2013 6:03:56 PM PermalinkI think ADS works so long as you can't ADS with every weapon. Shotguns, SMGs and pistols should be exempt from ADS to better define their role within the class balance.
ZippingF8122/19/2013 6:01:48 PM PermalinkI don't care, I welcome it. Halo plays like Halo, Destiny will play like Destiny.
Glogsplat2/19/2013 9:45:05 AM PermalinkI think the reason there was no ADS in Halo was because that was its style. Destiny is a new game in a new world, I welcome ADS, Bungie shouldn't be bogged down because of their previous game. I trust they will place a let of references to all their other universes like they did in Halo though.
GammaSpartan0032/19/2013 9:52:51 AM Permalink@tsassi2: Yeah, the freedom of movement in Halo was one of the things that really set it aside from most other shooters. I hope they keep that too, but I imagine they will, since Destiny is purportedly going to have a real emphasis on exploration; hopefully there will be places that introduce platforming to find different or secret locations, kind of like what Guild Wars 2 has. @Glogsplat: True, that WAS Halo's style. So yes, with any luck Destiny will feature an ADS system. And oh, it's Bungie. I can't imagine them making a game without more than a few easter eggs or subtle references to their past works.
tsassi22/19/2013 9:43:27 AM PermalinkIt's very probable that Destiny will have it. Personally, I don't really see a lot of use for it. It doesn't really immerse me that much, but it helps longer distance aim in some scenarios. However, if that mechanic comes to Destiny, I don't want to see it being handled like in most shooters where aiming down the sights slow you down. I don't want to see Destiny go down the way of all the other shooters that try to be too realistic. I want the movement mechanics to be more reminiscent of Halo than of the shooters that try to be more realistic because I enjoy the freedom of movement. The classic aiming reticule doesn't necessarily mean lack of ADS, the Crysis series has both. I'm fairly certain Destiny will have ADS. I'm ready to welcome that mechanic, but I still want to see the kind of freedom of movement we had in Halo. Not many shooters these days have movement mechanics that are actually fun.
GammaSpartan003Edited by GammaSpartan003: 2/19/2013 9:44:57 AM Permalink@Apothecary Matt: Yeah, depending on how the guns and ballistics actually work in terms of gameplay it would be cool to actually have to get used to the feel and recoil of different weapons that you pick up, and be forced to 'master' them instead of just picking them up and immediately having an idea of what optimal range/damage they've got. @darthrevan96: Because none of the Halo games have had the option to aim down a weapon's sights, apart from the stick-clicking to zoom in on scoped weapons. @DHTH777: Yeah, I could see that working. For instance, in Dead Space 3 you can actually change your aiming style between the classic version and the generic, centered third person aiming. Even though I get that things are a little bit different for an FPS as apposed to a third person shooter, it would be nice to have the option.
darthrevan962/19/2013 9:34:40 AM PermalinkOf course we'll be able to, why wouldn't it be possible?
DHTH7772/19/2013 9:40:18 AM PermalinkMeh.... I won't rage if it's similar to COD aiming, but I will be a bit disappointed. I really like the classic aiming that is used in Halo titles and hope it stays. Maybe there can some form of hybrid between the two aiming styles.
Apothecary Matt2/19/2013 9:31:04 AM Permalinki think it would be cool if we didnt acturly have any crosshairs or reticle because it would make the game so much harder but so much funnier your weapon would be something you would have to master

REDEMPTION'S KISS (4.5) by Ann Christopher: Christopher takes a seemingly unredeemable rascal and transforms him into a hero readers will cheer for. Sometimes heart-wrenching, this story of redemption is masterfully done. Former governor Beau Taylor humiliated himself, his wife Jillian and his president brother-in-law by having extramarital affairs while in office. His drinking, partying and playboy ways come to an end when he nearly dies in an automobile accident. Jillian has made a new life for herself and her daughter as the proprietor of a BandB. She is being wooed by her accountant when Beau moves nearby. Beau, who is in therapy, still loves Jillian and wants his family back. Together they come to terms with the tragedy that started their downward spiral as they rebuild their love and trust.
