Newman's Five Points Exxon, 727 Harden Street: 20 October 2015 no comments
Raceway, 2114 Broad River Road: late May 2014 (open again) 1 comment
The Raceway on the other river road (Bush River) closed and came back, and now this nearby Broad River Road Raceway has turned off the lights as well. I noticed that the prices on the huge marquee sign didn't look right, so I wasn't too surprised to see the place dark when I got up to it. I actually did stop here a few weeks ago (the only time in the whole period it was open, I think) and found it very hard to get in and out of, since there is no light. Both this and the Bush River location have the somewhat unusual "external bathroom" layout. I think anything built nowdays wants all that traffic to go past the merchandise..
UPDATE 22 December 2014 -- This place is open again (and has been for a while):
ARCO / SCE&G Flora Street Fleet Maintenance, 122 Assembly Street: 1980s 16 comments
Actually, I am not 100% sure that the street address here is 122. 120 would also make sense. I'm also not 100% sure this was an ARCO station, but page 5 of this City annexation request makes me pretty sure that it was.
This Wikipedia article suggests that Southern ARCO stations were first rebranded as Atlantic Petroleum and then in 1988 as Sunoco, so this station may have been one of those before closing (though again, the PDF is indiciative).
UPDATE 2 May 2014 -- As pointed out by commenter badger, Google Streetview shows this place in operation as the SCE&G Flora Street Fleet Maintenance station, so I have added that to the post title.
Clamp's BP, 1105 West Main Street (Lexington): 2012 15 comments
Here's an old-school, single island service station in Lexington. Just looking at it, I suspect it predates the BP era and probably goes back into the (original) Gulf age. This is the kind of place that used to exist to service cars -- which needed almost constant attention. Any thought to customer restrooms or any vending more elaborate than a soft drink machine was pretty much non-existent. Now, one by one they fall by the wayside as that generation of owners retires or they just can't compete against the new convenience store stations that use all the space that could have been bays to sell people stuff.
This one will be selling people Thickburgers soon.
Exxon, 2842 Charleston Highway: 1970s 1 comment
This old service station, now a tire & brake center, is on the Charleston Highway, in that little corner in between I-77 and I-26.
I'm pretty sure it was an Exxon at one time (and may even have gone back into the Esso era). The vending machine bay to the left of the station is very typical of the old days -- a station generally would not like you hanging around inside, which was as much or more "the office" than a retail area.
I'm just guessing "1970s" as a closing date. It could have been much later, but that's when the classic "gas station" started to go into decline..
Raceway, 1204 Bush River Road: Late January 2013 (Closed again) 8 comments
Not sure what happened here, as the location doesn't seem too bad to me, and it has fairly easy access to the Wal-Mart stoplight, but the Raceway at Bush River Road and I-26 has closed. The only site negative I can see is the separate bathroom building, which I personally don't like because there's often a locking hassle and you end up splitting your time at three locations.
(Hat tips to commenters Tom & Frank)
UPDATE 22 June -- As mentioned in the comments, this place is open again:
UPDATE 27 January 2016 -- This place is closed again:
Gas Station / Latimer Seafood, 6102 North Main Street: 2000s 2 comments
Here's another case where a phonebook search turns up no information, but I'd guess Latimer Seafood has been gone for at least several years. The place was obviously started life as a service station, but the architecture isn't bringing any particular brand to mind for me.
Esso / Exxon, 6015 Farrow Road: 1970s no comments
This former Exxon is on Farrow Road where it intersects with Broadland Avenue and is now an independant auto repair operation. I wish it had been a sunnier day so these pictures were less gray and dreary, but that's the way it was, and I don't go by there very often.
Admittedly my closing date is just a guess here, as is postulating that this station started as an Esso, but the gull-wing lights lead me to think it was built before 1970, and the Esso/Exxon switch didn't happen until 1973.
Furthermore, the rounded style of the kerosene pump together with the fact that the price only has two digits (plus 1/10ths of a cent) leads me to think the station didn't make it past the 1970s.
Socastee Mini Mart, 8545 Highway 544 (Socastee): Fall 2011 (open again) 9 comments
Someone can probably look at the gas price signs and make a better guess at exactly when Socastee Mini Mart went under, but I'm pretty sure it was open last summer and not last November 13th (when these pictures were taken -- Unfortunately, it was not a sunny day).
The place is on SC-544, probably 5 miles on the Socastee side of Coastal Carolina. SC-544 is the handy little cut-through from US-501 to US-17 and can save you a lot of grief if you end up inbound to Myrtle by the north route. It's less useful than it used to be though, as there are now more lights and a constant 45MPH speed limit. For many years, the road had a real rural character, and this station is a holdover from that era. Now however the area is getting more and more built up, and "regular" chains are starting to move in.
S-Mart BP, 4601 Devine Street: Early April 2012 18 comments
When I would eat at Ruby Tuesday, I would occasionally stop at this S-Mart BP (which I'm pretty sure started as a Hess) on my way home, especially since they tore down the Forest Drive Circle K. It was nothing special, though I always thought it was a bit odd that they had the "under seige"/"cashier in a cage" setup inside as the area doesn't seem especially bad to me.
I'm pretty sure that the number of pumps decreased over the last year or so, something I wondered about. It may be that the writing has been on the wall for a while..
When the ax did fall, they wasted no time getting the remaining pumps out of there, a process that usually takes a little while.
The side road to this place, Crowson Road is an odd little street that connects Devine with Fort Jackson Boulevard and also has a semi "back way" into K-Mart with a bridge over Gills Creek. It has always had sort of an unfinished/1960s vibe to me. I guess this is probably due mostly to the odd cluster of buildings, from the original Egg Roll Station building to the old buildings at the intersection with Fort Jackson Boulevard..

Argos Therapeutics, Beckman Coulter Sign License Agreement; CD83 Licensure to Advance Work on Autoimmune Disorders, Transplant Rejection Therapy
The patented therapeutic use of CD83 was initially filed by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Beckman Coulter then gained license to it and under the latest agreement, retains rights to develop CD83 within the field of diagnostics.
"sCD83 is a very promising agent to inhibit dendritic cells and this novel approach provides great potential to prevent organ rejection and to induce tolerance, thereby eliminating side effects of long-term use of anti-rejection drugs."
"As a complement to our dendritic cell-based immunotherapeutic programs, this agreement allows us to advance our CD83 development activities based on its novel immunosuppressive properties," said Jeff Abbey, vice president of business development for Argos Therapeutics. "At the same time, Argos continues to develop immunotherapies in the oncology and infectious disease markets, as these areas represent significant unmet therapeutic needs."
Researchers working with Argos at the University of Erlangen in Erlangen, Germany, discovered that CD83 is an effective immunosuppressant and able to inhibit paralysis in a model of multiple sclerosis in both an active and pre-treatment setting. In contrast to other immunosuppressive agents, this soluble protein can target autoagressive immune responses without the need for chronic administration and without suppressing the entire immune system. Preliminary data also suggests that CD83 may have clinical utility in the treatment of transplantation rejection and autoimmune diabetes.
In support of this technology platform, Dr. Robert Zhong, Canada Research Chair in Transplantation and Experimental Surgery at the University of Western Ontario, Canada, stated "sCD83 is a very promising agent to inhibit dendritic cells and this novel approach provides great potential to prevent organ rejection and to induce tolerance, thereby eliminating side effects of long-term use of anti-rejection drugs."
About Autoimmune Disorders
Autoimmune disorders include a variety of painful conditions in which an individual's immune system attacks its own cells, mistaking them as invaders. The American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association indicates that approximately 20 percent of Americans suffer from autoimmune diseases, and some 75 percent of those affected are women. Treatment varies depending on the specific disorder involved. Examples include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), corticosteroids, and immunosuppressive drugs with heavy side effects.
About Transplant Rejection
Transplant rejection occurs when a transplant recipient's immune system attacks a transplanted (donor) organ or tissue. This is because the donor cells are regarded as foreign. Consequently, the "new" organ does not function properly. According to the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, about 25,000 organ transplants take place per year in the United States. The rate of transplant rejection varies by organ and ranges from 30 to 60 percent. Current transplant rejection treatment includes immunosuppressive agents that also carry significant side effects.
Argos Therapeutics
Argos Therapeutics, Inc., is dedicated to becoming a market leader in the field of immunotherapy. The company uses proprietary technology and know-how to develop dendritic cell-based therapies in the areas of oncology, infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders and transplantation. Argos' focus is bringing to market therapeutic options that not only offer new promise for treatment of intractable diseases, but also an improved safety profile and better patient quality of life during treatment.

The first time I ordered a sandwich in Singapore was soon after I arrived in 2006. I almost broke out laughing when my ham and cheese came with one thin slice of ham and one slice of American cheese. I wrote it off to being in the wrong place for a real sandwich.

This town has a plethora of sandwiches make on subs and hoagies -- as well as a multitude of fancy sammies made on fancy breads -- but where does one go to have a classic sandwich?

People in Pittsburgh are justifiably proud of their sports teams, and the parks, arts and museums that enhance the quality of life. One of the biggest points of civic pride, however, is a sandwich. Not just any sandwich, but the famous Primanti Brothers sandwich that features meat, cole slaw and French fries piled high between two slices of Italian bread.

Backstreet Cafe is a classic sandwich stop. Thick foccacia, whole grain, sourdough or classic white breads are topped with heaping piles of meats, veggies and cheeses. The atmosphere is casual and quaint; orders are placed at a walk up counter.

In my last blog, Boke Breakdown Badnight ("truly the best thing I've ever read OR written" – David Mamet), I detailed how my car had broken down two and half times in as many weeks. Since I wrote that ten days ago, that half became a whole to total three breakdowns as my entire [PART I DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF] was removed by a Kindly Mechanic who I kept calling Harold (legitimately because that's the name of Batman's mechanic/ my brain is irreparably compromised by 27 years of pop-culture bombardment) and my treasured Toledo sat in the terrifying twists of the barely-laid roads of the Ballygawley countryside.
Three times.
You know what's worse than three breakdowns, man?
Four breakdowns. Silly toffee-for-thoughts here left his iPod running for an hour a few days ago and apparently that's enough to run an entire car battery down. My battery's the fuckin' encapsulation of incapability. A weak-willed son of a bitch when it comes to powering cars – THE ONLY THING IT CAN EVEN DO.
Look at this battery. It's aces. It powers a lift (way cooler than a car on any day) and helps advance the game so's you can enjoy any number of new encounters with Nemesis and his corn-beef rocket launcher.
AND it's found inside a statue. I bet the battery in my car's never even seen a statue.
Then, I decided I was going to become a teacher.
So I'm headed back to school next year for my PGCE (which for years I thought stood for 'Post-Graduate Course of Education', and not 'in Education') so I never have to work in [PLACE WHERE PAUL WORKS AND IS LITERALLY CONTRACT-BOUND NOT TO DISPARAGE ONLINE] or with its many dead-souled denizens ever again.

|http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/ A service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine®
Baraitser-Winter syndrome is a condition that affects the development of many parts of the body, particularly the face and the brain.
An unusual facial appearance is the most common characteristic of Baraitser-Winter syndrome. Distinctive facial features can include widely spaced eyes (hypertelorism), large eyelid openings, droopy eyelids (ptosis), high-arched eyebrows, a broad nasal bridge and tip of the nose, a long space between the nose and upper lip (philtrum), full cheeks, and a pointed chin.
Structural brain abnormalities are also present in most people with Baraitser-Winter syndrome. These abnormalities are related to impaired neuronal migration, a process by which nerve cells (neurons) move to their proper positions in the developing brain. The most frequent brain abnormality associated with Baraitser-Winter syndrome is pachygyria, which is an area of the brain that has an abnormally smooth surface with fewer folds and grooves. Less commonly, affected individuals have lissencephaly, which is similar to pachygyria but involves the entire brain surface. These structural changes can cause mild to severe intellectual disability, developmental delay, and seizures.
Other features of Baraitser-Winter syndrome can include short stature, ear abnormalities and hearing loss, heart defects, presence of an extra (duplicated) thumb, and abnormalities of the kidneys and urinary system. Some affected individuals have limited movement of large joints, such as the elbows and knees, which may be present at birth or develop over time. Rarely, people with Baraitser-Winter syndrome have involuntary muscle tensing (dystonia).
Baraitser-Winter syndrome is a rare condition. Fewer than 50 cases have been reported in the medical literature.
Baraitser-Winter syndrome can result from mutations in either the ACTB or ACTG1 gene. These genes provide instructions for making proteins called beta (β)-actin and gamma (γ)-actin, respectively. These proteins are active (expressed) in cells throughout the body. They are organized into a network of fibers called the actin cytoskeleton, which makes up the cell's structural framework. The actin cytoskeleton has several critical functions, including determining cell shape and allowing cells to move.
Mutations in the ACTB or ACTG1 gene alter the function of β-actin or γ-actin. The malfunctioning actin causes changes in the actin cytoskeleton that modify the structure and organization of cells and affect their ability to move. Because these two actin proteins are present in cells throughout the body and are involved in many cell activities, problems with their function likely impact many aspects of development, including neuronal migration. These changes underlie the variety of signs and symptoms associated with Baraitser-Winter syndrome.
Changes in these genes are associated with Baraitser-Winter syndrome.
This condition is described as autosomal dominant, which means one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder. The condition almost always results from new (de novo) mutations in the ACTB or ACTG1 gene and occurs in people with no history of the disorder in their family.
These resources address the diagnosis or management of Baraitser-Winter syndrome and may include treatment providers.
You might also find information on the diagnosis or management of Baraitser-Winter syndrome in Educational resources and Patient support.

In my opinion Alejandro Falla have really good chances to make win in this match and I don't understand why is not favorite of this match. Money line look like very good bet to play, especially with Ladbrokes odds. I must try it.

Alejandro Falla in previous weekend played on the Brisbane courts where not give too much chances for Levine and lost after two tie-breaks against Gilles Simon, played two matches in doubles too. Take nice practice. Here defending QF points from last year where lost against David Ferrer.

Grega Zemlja for me is overhyped player and in 2013 can go out from TOP100, in previous weekend played in Doha and don't show nothing special. Lost in doubles 0-2 and played two three setters in singles.

I have always wanted to draw like this
Exquisite! Everything about this pictures just works!
I wish you would do more full illustrations like this. Beautiful colors and composition and as always, character design. I love her come hither expression and the feathers on the skirt. It's almost like she's an anthro (but mostly human) form of a cockatoo. A gorgeous woman in a lush, tropical setting, that is a tempting oasis for many. The bubbles seem out of place. They just don't fit into the picture for me but it's light enough that it isn't wholly distracting.
Honestly you do some amazing work. Love your style.

oh my god! what this is, is a stroke of creative genius! it's amazing how simple the idea is and so original! i never thought about putting her wings right above the ass and never seen one also! so far the most creative thing a have seen.
I like the wing-skirt, the water, and her nose. Not sure why, but the nose is enjoyable.
Stuffs like this always make me wanna move forward. I just wanna be like them. And that demands hardwork!

Picture: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver the "governator" takes his family to Tra Di Noi restaraunt in Cross Creek for dinner. The Schwarzenegger family leave...
Arnold Schwarzenegger could one day appear on the hit television series Extras, well, that's if creator Ricky Gervais has his way.
The Terminator actor and now governor of California is just one of a number of Hollywood stars making it on to the comedian's wish list.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror, Gervais said: "People seem to like it and I think that there's some mileage in it. My wish list for guests to appear in another series is as long as your arm, but Governor Schwarzenegger has to be there."
Although his previous series, The Office, left screens after two series it seems that Extras might make it to a third to see whether Andy Millman (Gervais) and Maggie Jacobs (Ashley Jenson) ever get together.
If it did go ahead then other stars in Gervais' A-Team would include Meryl Streep, Bruce Willis, Dick Van Dyke and Mickey Rooney a group he describes as "icons for me".
Celebs who have appeared on the show in the past include Sir Ian McKellen, Chris Martin, Kate Winslet, Orlando Bloom and Samuel L Jackson.

In an airy art deco garage on the King's Road you'll find this chic lifestyle boutique. Owners John and Belle Robinson (the people behind womenswear chain Jigsaw) may cite European concept stores such as Colette in Paris as inspiration, but there's none of the froideur associated with such temples to avant-garde design.
On display in the 10,000 square foot space is a broad selection of designer clothing, shoes, accessories, books, music (both CDs and vinyl) and the odd piece of furniture. The shop also boasts a spa offering shoppers the chance to unwind with a variety of treatments.
Fashion is wide-ranging; UK designers Jonathan Saunders and Sophie Hulme are to be found here, as are US faves Alexander Wang and Rick Owens. Look out for lesser-known labels as well, such as Isabel Marant, and eyewear from hip label LDNR. Cool denim brands also feature heavily, and there's a trendy range of prints, coffee-table books and CDs.

Every study as to the cause of 1.5M people leaving the State of New York points to the oppressive personal and business taxes and regulations put in place by the legislature and agencies. Legislators like the one from my district, Paul Tonko (D) who spent 20 years in the Assembly and voted 300+ times for tax increases on people and business. And what penalty does he pay for this? He is now our Congressman.
This is very encouraging since it will mean that this radical state will lose some of it's influence in the country. I'm sure the other states are tired of states like New York pushing their extremist agenda on them.
Can we all agree that NY is NOT the center of the universe. The NY GIants or Jets or Knicks or Yankees or Mets are NOT the center of sports?
Please? It is becoming ever more clear.
Big supprise huh? Another nail in the communist paties coffin:)
NYC is overcrowded with people who aren't from NYC.
A 1br apartment can cost almost $2,000 a month... in a bad part of town.
Alot of the things that made people want to live in NYC are disappearing.
Bars and galleries have a really tough time staying open.
because of high rents.
you might want to actually provide this study.
because I live here, and I can tell you why people move.
anyone know how the census results translate to the electoral college?
answered my own question....electoral college votes are # of senators (always 2) plus the number of house seats, so the lib states are loosing electoral seats as well...
Joe, here's a link to an article citing some stats re why people are leaving. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703574604574499772371161800.html
to "liberal nightmare": perhaps you ought to learn how to spell "surprise"
"Most experts believe the most likely part of New York to lose a representative is western region between Syracuse and Buffalo, which has seen its population stagnate or decline in some places."
Err, no.
The seats are allocated to the state, and then the state is divided into districts of very nearly equal population. You don't eliminate a particular district. If the state goes from 29 seats to 27, then each district will become 1/27 of the state, instead of 1/29.
If any part of the state is growing particularly fast, it's possible districts there will get smaller while they get larger in the rest of the state, but every district has to be 4% bigger than it would have been without the loss.
I hope we can get rid of Frank Pallone, D-NJ. Has sat in Congress for over 20 years and has voted for every tax increase during that time. Has accomplished NOTHING since being there. We have lost Fort Monmouth and tens of thousands of jobs during his tenure. NJ is now known far and wide as the most business unfriendly state in the Union! All happened on Pallone's watch. Good friends with former gov. McGreevey, hmmmmmm!
This is all good news. The liberal power bases are concentrated in declining states and cities. One of the main reasons they are declining is because liberals have been running things, and anytime liberals are in charge you can be sure taxes and government regulation will rise, and freedom and liberty will decline. People and businesses that can move will move.

"I'm a b*tch, I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a mother, I'm a sinner, I'm a saint, I do not feel ashamed."
A friend of mine on FB was congratulating her friend on getting married.
The girl's name was "Laurence".
WHAT?! Part of me likes how it feminizes it, but the majority of me was thinking "That's a girl's name?!" I also have a friend named "Merica". Like America, but without the A.
My DD's name is Seraphina. Totally unique, but pretty straightforward to pronounce and spell. The only issue we may get in the future is alternating the E for an A or the PH for an F. But so far no one has mispronounced it. Except the automated caller for the bills from the hospital. It was read "Sa raf ina" But then again, the machine got our last name wrong too, and added letters and junk to it. It was ridiculous.
Some of my favorite awful names, Khortknee, and Eileen Over (no joke, my Granma went to school with her).
There were some better ones, but I can't remember them off the top of my head.
No offense meant to PP, but Laykin is weird.

Another thing I've come across two settings were ppl name there children the same first name but different middle names, how confusing is that??? Like Jesus Juan, Jesus Carlos or Brandon Michael and Brandon Jerry. Ridiculous!
I guess it makes sense that the mom's name is McKinli....and if you go to the blog, every other name that made the list was just as terrible. Funnily enough Taylee was too popular of a name for them..go figure.
The name we chose isn't even in the top 1000 (hasn't been for the last 12 years!), but it's a legitimate name with a legitimate spelling.
And this one will probably be Mah'Khenzi
Poor kids :*( lol
It's a boy!!!

McLain Ward Named to the USEF Show Jumping Long List for the 2012 Olympic Games with Antares F and Sapphire
Lexington, KY - The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) Ad Hoc Committee on Selection has approved naming McLain Ward with both Antares F and Sapphire to the Show Jumping Long List for the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
Due to the fact that Ward will not be able to compete in the Selection Trials because of an injury he sustained in January 2012, the USEF Selectors in consultation with Chef d'Equipe George Morris and Team Veterinarian Dr. Tim Ober, voted unanimously to name Ward on both Grant Road Partners, LLC's Antares F and Blue Chip Bloodstock's Sapphire to the Show Jumping Long List for the 2012 Olympic Games at this time...read more>

The Alaska Permanent Fund Corp. has hired Allan Moore as its new Chief Investment Officer.
Eligible Alaskans will receive an Alaska Permanent Fund dividend check of $845.76 this fall, Gov. Frank Murkowski announced Tuesday.
Weak money markets have chipped away at the Alaska Permanent Fund and if the trend continues, annual dividends paid to Alaskans could dip to $850 in several years, fund officials said Tuesday.
The Alaska Permanent Fund Corp. is changing how it sets rates on money it lends to Alaska banks, after fund managers felt those rates had fallen too low.

Panthers' solid play paying off
Published: Tuesday, January 20, 2004 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 20, 2004 at 12:00 a.m.
The Carolina Panthers are the latest professional franchise to boast of a worst-to-first turnaround.
The Panthers defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in Sunday's NFC championship game to win a spot in the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots.
If they can win the Super Bowl in Houston on Feb. 1, a remarkable comeback will be complete.
The 14-3 score sounds like one from a musty scrapbook of the old Vince Lombardi-Bart Starr days. The Panthers won with a smashmouth defense that dominated the Eagles on their home turf.
On offense the Panthers play it safe. No flashy West Coast offense. Just solid play by an unheralded quarterback and a largely unknown corps of skill players. The Panthers employ a workmanlike running game that gobbles yardage and grinds up the clock.
The 14-5 Panthers have won consistently against flashier teams. In the playoffs they knocked off the wild-card Dallas Cowboys, then upended the heavily favored Rams in St. Louis.
Against the Eagles, coach John Fox knew that stopping quarterback Donovan McNabb would be the key.
"Donovan McNabb is a great player," he said. "He's carried the team all season; he was the heart and soul of the team. We had to isolate him."
The Panthers shut down McNabb, intercepting him three times and holding him to an anemic 100 yards passing and no touchdowns. Led by one of the best defensive lines in the league -- ends Mike Rucker and former Tar Heel standout Julius Peppers (of Bailey, near Wilson east of Raleigh) and tackles Chris Jenkins and Brentson Buckner -- the Panthers sacked McNabb four times and knocked him out of the game in the fourth quarter.
When the New England Patriots defeated the Indianapolis Colts Sunday, an irony became apparent. The Manning headed to Super Bowl isn't named Peyton and although he was one of McNabb's leading receivers, he doesn't even play offense. He's Panther defensive back Ricky Manning Jr., a rookie who picked off three McNabb passes.
The Panthers have had an up-and-down history from their first year in 1995. They made it to the NFC championship game in their second year, losing to Green Bay. Then the team fell apart and became better known for off-the-field problems that led to game-day struggles. Two years ago, the Panthers hit bottom, going 1-15.
Then the Panthers fired George Siefert and hired Fox. He began assembling players, who outside of running back Stephen Davis, a Redskin acquisition from Spartanburg, weren't known as stars. But they are tough, resilient and resourceful, and they have learned how to win. Last year the Panthers improved to 9-7 and this year, when the experts gave them little chance of even making the playoffs, they have reached the Super Bowl on a hot streak.
Shows what you can do when you leave aside off-the-field mischief, focus on the fundamentals, work hard and play as a team.

Cardinals sign Dansby to 1-year deal
Updated: May 10, 2013, 9:49 PM ETAssociated Press
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Karlos Dansby had offers from around the league after being released by Miami, more than a half dozen teams asking if he would want to come play for them.
When the Arizona Cardinals called, the decision was pretty much over.
Arizona was where he started his career, where his home and cars are, base camp for his support group, from his nutritionist to personal trainer and the person who helps him stretch.
"It made a lot of sense," the linebacker said Friday after ...

220.127.116.11 Copra
184.108.40.206 Copra Variant
188.8.131.52 Original Turd
220.127.116.11 Turd Variant
I get the same results on the first three.
Different on Turd variant
Do you think that Copra will propagate to all Google datacenters?
[edited by: tedster at 9:36 pm (utc) on June 21, 2006]
Results that've been haywire for weeks are showing good on some DCs (the ones listed in msg #101). Proper meta tags showing, pages coming out of supplemental, and pages cached this week.
I'm happy :)
<added> oh, and all pages in the index apart from those added this week </added>
Also there are even more supplementals of pages than before. Makes me wonder whether it's even worth the bother of wearing a white hat and working hard (ie being selective and acquiring 'quality' links etc etc instead of just getting links from all and sundry, sitewides, etc which works on Yahoo and MSN) and compromising serps on other search engines if the end result isn't going to get you anywhere. Once again, I feel that Google is a pile of turds.
[edited by: tedster at 2:48 pm (utc) on June 28, 2006]
Updating. It seems that the folks at Googleplex either are tweaking or have pushed more data to the following DCs which I have posted previously today.
However, within the sector I watch (related to online advertising and marketing) search quality still better than the rest of DCs, IMO.
Something for sure happening on those DCs ;-)
[edited by: reseller at 10:45 pm (utc) on June 24, 2006]
The answer is "sometimes"
I just did a check and this group:
yielded identical results with my key phrase (two words) coming in at 98th
184.108.40.206 - 115
18.104.22.168 - 99
22.214.171.124 - 115
18.104.22.168 - 99
18.104.22.168 - 115
Since we can't count on all the IPs of a particular C block giving identical results, it means they must be sampled individually. We can't just grab 1 IP as a sample and go on that as being representative.
Further, I have to ask, can anyone here state that it is known, as an absolute fact, that each of these IPs goes directly to a specific, individual server? If not (and I think I have seen this suggested elsewhere, earlier in this thread) perhaps each IP is simply a doorway to a server/router whatchamacallit that re-routes the query to whichever server is least busy at that moment.
If we cannot establish some kind of fixed datapoint, I don't believe that we can draw any conclusions and expect them to be valid.
I have noticed something and wonder if some of the experts can shed some light on my situation.
It seems that one of my domains is making its way back in to better rankings. Its a 301'd site and flip flops every time they have a data refresh.
I have another site that does the same, but that one is not showing better rankings. That site has a 301 as well, but it also has 2 domains that are 301'd to the www primary domain.
It gets really frustrating for me because when the index for my sector looks right (not dominated by huge directories, news sites and spammers) that domain cleans up.
But when its not doing well and those sites are there, its dropped out of the index completely.
I have no duped content, and I don't spam. Both doamins are aged (5 years or more) and they have always done well in the SERPS. I can understand being bounced, but it is consistent and only happens when they do a data refresh, and it makes me specualte that I must be doing something wrong.
I have checked for bad links, cleaned up (over a year) the way link exchanges are handled. Updated content, added hundreds of unique pages with original content. Researched competitors etc..
I have put hundreds of hours in to this and I can not for the life of me figure out why Google has such drastic data refreshes regarding my sector. I also am stumped, why some keywords that are quite competitive have kept me in the top positions during every single update over the past year on these domains,but the others that are aged just as much, and equally as relevant for the keyword i have targeted stay in a state of drastic constant everflux.
I have been out of the loop for the past 2 months doing other things, but if anyone has some suggestions as to what I can look in to that is a little beyond the norm, please hook me up.

I think the results a la 220.127.116.11 will prevail...
Is Google preparing some nice fireworks for Independence?
DCs mentioned the other day and:-
and sometimes:
Are starting to look intresting and a fix for a certain issue for one of my sites are on those DC.
Are starting to look intresting and a fix for a certain issue for one of my sites are on those DC.
In my niche those have certain sites missing which should be there and always were there. The algo sitting on them seems to reward purchased links from many pages of the same non relevant site. The top 10 are OK ish but from 11 - 20 is all directories and scraper (so called review) sites. Just plain Adsense and affiliate garbage.
They also look like variants of Turd which are holding on by a thread.
The DCs that are in the majority now (examples:220.127.116.11 22.214.171.124) reward multiple links from one non relevant site less and seem, in my niche to have all of the market leader sites listed in the top 20. Much less garbage and affiliate traps.
Well I dont think they are anywhere near complete.
But those DC show a fix for one of my sites for a certain issue (although looking at allintitles and some other searches those DC look a bit out of line)
Of course the fix may travel to other DCs (hopefully) while the algo may not.
Can you please remove the URL from 1984bb's post above. Isn't it against terms of use to post specific searches.
PS I'm sure that we can all find examples of poor results in SERPs from both sets of DCs. That doesn't alter my report of what I'm seeing in my niche.

Hey, I'm Jen!
Hi! I'm a design consultant, writer and podcast host based in San Francisco, originally from Canada. My work affords me tons of local and global travel - for research (and sometimes temporary relocation). This has me regularly searching for delightful sublets in the heart of hip neighborhoods wherever I go. (I much prefer to live like a local than feel like a tourist!)
I can't live without my camera, fluorescent highlighters, fresh flowers, the ocean, and my man named Dan. My favorite travel destinations (so far) have been Paris, Istanbul, Barcelona, Melbourne and Capetown. I love art, yoga, poems by Rumi, well-made rockumentaries, and a good glass of red wine. Where possible, I enjoy exploring new places by foot or bike, observing local behaviors, and trying my luck with foreign languages.
Thank you for inviting me into your home. I promise to care for it like my own. :)

Mozilla ... you do know 64-bit OSes aren't going to disappear soon, right?
Subject: General Tech | November 22, 2012 - 01:03 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: mozilla, firefox, dumb, 64-bit
Once upon a time was a little company called Mozilla who had a browser that knew some tricks no other browser did. After a while the Mozilla foundation decided to split up several projects and the Firefox browser was born, again capable of things that no other browser was doing at the time. The other browsers were quick to pick up on these tricks and to emulate them, but Firefox held onto a respectable share of overall usage which slowly eroded as other browsers came onto the scene to steal away some of that share. Apparently this depressed Firefox as it decided to start on a steady diet of add-ons and stuffing extras in below the belt which eventually caused such bloating as to make those who cared about Firefox suggest it might want to think about slimming down a bit or at least wear something a little larger, maybe a size 64.
Instead, according to various sources such as DailyTech, Firefox has decided to dump all development of a 64-bit version of its browser. IE10 supports 64-bit, Opera supports 64-bit and Chrome does on Linux and is working on a Windows version for the near future, leaving Firefox in the company of Lynx. While the news stories are specific to the Firefox browser, it leaves one suspicious about the Firefox OS which is being developed for mobile devices; just what features are going to be abandoned as too hard to continue developing for.
"Fans of the non-profit Mozilla Foundation have waited... and waited... and waited more still, for Mozilla's popular Firefox browser to add 64-bit support. With pickup of 64-bit SKUs of Microsoft Corp.'s (MSFT) Windows operating system rapidly accelerating, it certainly seemed a 64-bit browser would be just around the corner.
Instead Mozilla has made the curious decision to pull the plug on the long-delayed project, while offering only small clues as to why the decision was made."

Mozilla Will Support H.264 Codec For HTML5 Video, Grudgingly
Subject: General Tech | March 15, 2012 - 08:14 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: webM, web browser, mozilla, html5, h.264, firefox
Mozilla executives working for the foundation behind the Firefox web browser today announced that they would be giving in to the H.264 codec as the open WebM VP8 codec has lost the war. The H.264 and VP8 (part of WebM) codecs are used to encode and decode video files, and are especially important on mobile devices as Flash support is less ubiquitous (or totally absent if you're using Apple products). In the absense of flash, the web turned to the HTML5 standard which provides <video> tags that allow direct embedding of videos into websites. Also important is that H.264 has wide support for being hardware accelerated on many mobile devices, enabling smart phones to smoothly playback high quality files that the low power CPU portion of ARM SoCs would otherwise struggle with. This situation is also available to desktop users, but is less of an issue as processing power is not as scarce and can, ah, accommodate Adobe's Flash plugin (heh).
The downside, and where all the controversy arises from, is that the H.264 codec is not free and requires manufacturers or sites that stream H.264 videos for a fee to license it as well as users, though the actual cost for licensing is generally rolled into the cost of the OS, device, or other piece of purchased software. Further, because the HTML5 standard does not specifically define a set video codec, there is room for fragmentation. Adobe, Mozilla, and Google eventually would jump behind what is now known as the WebM standard, which is an open (and free) video codec (VP8) that would not require expensive licensing restrictions. On the other hand, Apple backed the H.264 standard. Mozilla would roll WebM into their browser but not H.264, meaning that users could view HTML5 videos using Firefox but not HTML5 videos encoded with the H.264 codec. Google, Apple, and Microsoft would support the H.264 codec for HTML5 videos, despite Google developing WebM (and the included VP8 video codec) and giving word of mouth support for WebM. This meant that Chrome users could view both WebM and H.264 based HTML5 video.
According to the article, Google promised to drop support for H.264 and move solely to the WebM VP8 codec to entice websites to move to the open codec. Unfortunately, the company never came through with that promise, and has continued to offer dual support while Mozilla was left holding the open source support banner and causing their users to suffer as a result. The article references a study by MeFeedia that suggests that as of December 2011, H.264 based HTML5 video accounts for 80% of the market, implying that WebM has already lost the war. Brendan Eich, Mozilla's Chief Technology Officer noted that WebM needed support from a larger entity than Mozilla, and it needed that support in the beginning. Especially with Apple heralding H.264, for mobile site publishers, WebM really needed heavy backing to compete with Apple's market share and influential support of H.264 to have a chance. He further stated that:
"it might not have worked then, even with Google on-side. Now, with just Mozilla going it alone, all we do is kill our mobile initiatives in order to appear pure...That does not serve our mission or users."
Mozilla is now looking to support H.264, if a bit grudgingly. At this point, not supporting H.264 is only hurting their users and market share and not furthering their push for WebM. After all, if users are forced to look at other browsers just to play videos, it will not be WebM that is the only open source software forgotten (rather, the entire Mozilla web browser will wain).
Granted, Google is not the only company to blame for VP8 not catching on, Adobe also failed to properly push the codec. Also, Google is allegedly continuing to develop VP8 and WebM. Right now; however, losing Mozilla's support seems to be the final nail in the WebM coffin and the recognition that H.264 is the dominant format. More information is available here.
MWC 12: LG gives Mozilla Marketplace a try to boot to Gecko?
Subject: General Tech, Mobile, Shows and Expos | February 24, 2012 - 04:29 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: MWC 12, mozilla, B2G, LG
Mozilla will show off their marketplace for web apps at Mobile World Congress 2012. Mozilla Marketplace will support the upcoming Boot to Gecko (B2G) operating system for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. It is rumored that they will announce LG as a partner to develop either a tablet or a phone for developers of the B2G platform.
I ~ <3 Paypal... I guess.
Mozilla Marketplace will be a store where developers can distribute and sell their applications based upon HTML 5, Javascript, and CSS. The marketplace will support both free and paid apps with a variety of terms. Developers can have their users paid for the app up front, within the app for microtransactions, within the app for demo unlock, on a subscription basis (not yet implemented), or by donations.
Paypal has been announced as the payment processor for the Mozilla Marketplace. Paypal is not universally adored although we can understand why Mozilla would need to use an existing package. Prices are locked to one of 30 tiers so pricing is not entirely flexible but does run the gamut from 99-cents to $50 as well as of course free.
Hopefully we will get more details about Boot to Gecko or the Mozilla-powered LG phone at MWC in the coming days.
FirefoxX: Coming soon to a TF2 user handle near you!

Firefox is my default browser. I often complement Firefox with Google Chrome due to habits introduced in the dark ages where Flash and crash were more ironic rhymes for Firefox users, but I stuck with it. I watched as it grew from a suite and innocent Mozilla build into the standalone browser it is today. Could Firefox be ten already? It seems like it was just yesteryear -- it was just four and we were out in the textfield try{}ing to play catch(){}.
If you are a developer -- and if you are still reading then you probably are -- this version of Firefox has a lot to offer you. While a lot of the features touted as new are not, they are certainly much upgraded from what we are used to. Allow me to put it like this: you may be able to finally uninstall Firebug. You may infer what you like from that statement. Some highlights of the developer features include a built-in page inspector, a web console interface, and scratchpad.
The page inspector allows developers to examine their own websites as well as study the websites of others in a much friendlier interface than Firebug. For quick tweaks, you can edit the CSS from within page inspector and turn whole properties on and off and immediately see its effect.
The web console interface allows you to edit your site as it is temporarily rendered from a command-line interface. This appears to be mostly useful for smaller Javascript tweaks and additions if you have a small change that you would like to iterate upon quickly. The web console also allows you to see network requests which should help greatly with optimizing load times.
Scratchpad is a new developer feature for Javascript which is just too complicated to test upon with the console interface. Scratchpad is somewhere between Notepad and Notepad++ and is used to quickly experiment with full Javascript scripts on the website you currently have loaded.
Don't just take my word for it, see it!
More general enhancements were, of course, also made with this version: WebGL is now antialiased; security, performance, and stability fixes were introduced; and add-on compatibility is much less annoying. The experience feels much more responsive and clean than it has recently, continuing on the advancements started with Firefox 7.
What do you think? Looking forward to new WebGL content now that it will not be as jaggy? Excited about the developer tools or performance enhancements? Let us know!
Mozilla Considers Extended Support for Firefox: a Whole Year
Subject: General Tech | January 12, 2012 - 02:40 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: mozilla, firefox
Just seven months after taking their firm stance against supporting back versions Mozilla is considering following a model similar to Ubuntu: every few major versions, flag one as being supported much longer than the rest and support it while innovating on your main versions. I still believe that supporting many enterprise customers is wasteful for a company like Mozila, but now that they have substantially more revenue as of their recent deal with Google I suppose it could help advertise Firefox outside of work as well.
Firefox installments versus long running media franchise installments.
Yeah I was VERY conservative with Final Fantasy... I know.
John O'Duinn, current director of Release Engineering at Mozilla, wrote about the proposal in his personal blog last October and discussed attempts to compromise between long-term support and Mozilla's current release plan. It is still quite early to tell what they will ultimately come up with and whether it will mend relations with their enterprise customers, but it looks as though Mozilla will not follow their original decision to focus on the present and future at the expense of those reliant on the past.
Mozilla Starts Asking For Donations from Users
Subject: General Tech | December 30, 2011 - 11:42 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: mozilla, firefox, donations, browser
Mozilla, the company behind the popular open source Firefox web browser recently struck a quite lucrative deal with Google for providing the big G with a default search box and google search start page. Apparently, 900 million (over three years) is not enough for the company; however, as they have started asking for user donations of at least $10.
According to their new story page, "We believe the Web is a place where anyone can come to build their dreams." The non profit states in the accompanying video that they are more than just a web browser, they are a global community fighting to keep the web a good, innovative place. And that, they argue is why they need your support; to make the web a "force for good by making a donation today."
Personally, this feels like a cross between late night PBS broadcasts as a kid and Wikipedia's pleas for donations. Sure, if you are a big fan of Firefox it couldn't hurt to support them; however, I don't think they are going anywhere any time soon. What are your thoughts on this as a user?
Mozilla Renews Firefox Search Box Deal With Google
Subject: General Tech | December 21, 2011 - 04:53 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: search, mozilla, google, firefox
Mozilla, the company behind the popular open source Firefox web browser receives a great deal of revenue from it's deal with Google wherein they make Google the default search engine and prominent placement in the search box. The deal between the two companies was set to end this year, and there was talk around the web that Google was set to not renew the deal now that its own web browser, Chrome, was gaining market share. Needless to say, such a deal ending would be very bad for Mozilla and the continued development of the Firefox browser.
Fortunately, according to Tom's Hardware, Mozilla has managed to renew the Firefox Google search deal for an additional three years. While the exact amount of money Mozilla is paid by Google for the search box deal, the deal's extension speaks well to Mozilla's financial stability, and should give them time to build up their browser and explore additional revenue opportunities. Firefox currently holds about a quarter of the browser market, and its continued development is important to keeping the competition on its toes and prodding IE into being standards compliant. The site quoted Mozilla's CEO Gary Kovacs in stating "this new agreement extends our long term search relationship with Google for at least three additional years," and that the deal between Mozilla and Google was "significant and mutually beneficial."
Are you glad that Firefox is going to stick around? The comment form is always open.
Firefox PDF Reader Nearing Completion, Optional Extension Available Now
Subject: General Tech | October 29, 2011 - 05:56 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: software, pdf, open source, mozilla, firefox, browser
One of the most useful features in Google's Chrome web browser is the built in PDF reader. It is a feature that I use almost every day, and although I keep an install of Firefox's Aurora browser as a backup I have yet to return to using Firefox as my main browser since first checking out Chrome.
I've been wanting an integrated PDF reader in Firefox for some time now, and if this story is correct, Mozilla may be one step closer to delivering just that. According to the article, Mozilla has been developing a PDF viewer built using HTML 5 and Javascript technologies. Currently the open source project is called PDF.js, and the development team is working on integrating it into Firefox.
For now though, the team has released PDF.js as a browser extension for the open source browser. In addition to the extension download, the source code is available on GitHub for anyone to view and edit.
PDF.js displaying a Dell service manual in PDF format.
As it is now, the PDF.js add-on rather basic, but is definitely off to a good start. You are able to navigate by sections or page thumbnails accessible by a mouse-over pop-up menu on the left of the window. Along the top are buttons for previous and next page, navigating to a specific page, zooming in and out, downloading, printing, and searching the PDF document.
During some informal testing using a 94 page Dell service manual in PDF form, scrolling was smooth enough until hitting a new page upon which there was a bit of lag. Navigating to specific pages was rather quick, however.
The PDF reader is off to a good start and I may have one more reason to switch back to Mozilla's browser soon enough. What do you guys and gals think about built in PDF support, is it something you find useful during your daily browsing? If you're interested in checking it out for yourself, the extension is available for download here. Simply download this "pdf.js.xpi" file and install it (choose the Firefox or Aurora executable for installation if Windows does not assign the .xpi extension to Firefox automatically) using Firefox. Now navigate to a PDF file on any webpage to have it automatically open using PDF.js.
Mozilla Issues Do Not Track Field Guide To Advertisers
Subject: General Tech | September 8, 2011 - 09:05 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: mozilla, do not track, adblock
Popular open source browser maker Mozilla recently released a field guide aimed at advertisers that outlines Do Not Track functionality. The guide is reported by Computer World as including tutorials, case studies, guidelines, and sample code to "inspire developers, publishers, and advertisers to adopt DNT."
Mozilla's Firefox browser supports the popular Do Not Track add-on.
Mozilla indicated that approximately 22,500,000 users are currently employing the Do Not Track add-on. Further, there are currently more users who use Do Not Track than there are people using AdBlock Plus.
While the field guide is a good start, the real issue for consumers lies in whether or not advertisers will take notice and allow consumers to opt out of their tracking mechanisms. In the end, advertisers will need to implement some form of opt-out procedure (or better yet, an opt-in mechanism) lest they lose any revenue because users completely block out their advertisements. Currently; however, there is a cultural battle between advertisers and consumer privacy advocates, and it remains to be seen which will win out. Where do you stand on the issue; should advertisers be allowed to collect tracking data?
Firefox Designer Says Mozilla Will Be Keeping Version Numbers
Subject: General Tech | August 26, 2011 - 01:33 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: mozilla, browser, firefox
We reported earlier that Mozilla would be removing the version number from the About page due to a posting by Asa on the bugzilla page; however, designer Alex Faaborg has come forth to clear up the issue with the statement that "there are no plans to adjust the version number. It will remain in its current place in the about window, and we are going to continue with the current numbering scheme."
That statement was in the mozilla.dev.usability group, which you can read here. Further in the thread, Alex notes that the confusion began from within the Mozilla UX design group, and Asa defended the design team with his posting on what he thought the final decision was. If the UX team had been playing a joke on Asa, it would have been perfectly executed, says Alex "that's what I mean when I say significant confusion."
With development that is done in public, some confusion is to be expected seems to be the sentiment of the thread. All said and done, are you happy to hear that the versioning will remain the same (as of now), or did you want to see them removed from the about screen?
