I'm sure many people, including myself are very, very pleased about this as it stops scumbag sites from stealing our content.
However, it also appears that some non-scraper sites have been included in this purge (including my own). My site has been active for 5 years and is based on unique content.
Has anyone else been effected by this, and does google intend to refine the algorithm to stop valid, unique content sites from falling victim?
Yes you are right if you are not actively participating in the link farm you cannot supposedly be banned.
Yes who you link to can also hurt you whether they provide a link back or not.
Besides the issue of who you link to ...there is another issue many miss when playing with links and that is the time factor.
Most authority sites that I researched (1995 & 1996) domain registered dates were the selection criteria and few of these sites built over 100 links per year or 1000 over a decade...or for monthly break down 10 per month.
how long did it take you to build 1,000 links? (If you did.. again no clue here)
All I can say if it was a matter of less than a year and depending on your categry you may see the answer....
Remember advertisers pay based on the average amount of eyes that could possibly view the ads. As such a billboard company does not return revenue to advertisers, because the road is closed due to construction or an accident or other such reason.
Don't forget for both of you, that even if Google hiccups,,you both should have a high bookmark rate with yor readers/visitors due to the nature of your websites.
Look in your stats from your webhost this will tell you usuallly what percentage of traffic is bookmarked / repeat visitors, if not I suggest you invest in a web analytics package."
Hi SEO1,
Thanks for your compassion and support. I do have a nice bookmark rate but I lost approximately 60% of my traffic since this happened. I understand what you are saying but I had to give the money back out of good faith. Hopefully one day I will get back into google and I will be able to deal with these people again. I just felt guilty taking their money based on statistics that were no where near what they were when they signed the contract.
I don't have any "real" link partners. But if a site submits an article I do have a link back to their site from my site. I have been looking at my site though and I have been wondering about a certain section that I have had for 4-5 years. Since my site is about one particular subject I have a resource section where I have outbound links to many societies, organizations and businesses that oversee the subject that my site is about. Maybe that is part of my problem. It's so frustrating though, because I really want my readers to come to my site and have the option of reading the articles on my site but to also be given the option of going to other sites to get more information. Plus this section took years to build up and took a lot of thought! Maybe in the end I should remove all of the outbound links. I hate doing it though, but maybe it will help?
I would not remove all your references. However I would check each one to make sure they aren't a link farm, i.e., look at their link submission page. If it says "Free for all" or post your link here no questions asked and it gets posted immediately, then it may be considered a link farm by Google and I would remove that one link from your site. Don't worry about them linking to you. It's what YOU do with your outbound links that can penalize your site.
1. Is your site on a shared IP address? (search for your IP number only--if not found then you may be). Other sites on the same IP can get banned for any reason (like being a scraper directory) and your site will be banned also. Hosts use shared IPs so they can offer cheap hosting but your sites suffers because of it. Solution--ask your host to provide you with a dedicated IP address, This should only cost a $1.00 more per month. Any thing else is highway robbery and you should change hosts. This should only take a few days to remedy, then write Google for reinclusion and tell them what you found.
2. Sometimes host companies do things that cause their clients to be banned. And even if you ask they won't admit it. I can't mention names here but there is one popular domain registrant and supposed "host" causing most of the problems.
3. To find out if your site has been penalized for another site on the same IP or your Host doing something wrong, find a site that checks your site for being "blocklisted" or "blacklisted". I'm not allowed to post the url here either but you can search for those keywords and hopefully find one.
4. Check your site for the www. vs non-www problem. Search for your domain with both. If they both come up and one isn't redirected to the other (you have to watch closely to see it change) you may be listed under two URLs in Google (check your site index to be sure). If so, search WebmasterWorld for posts on the 301 redirect to correct the problem.
5. Do you have too many links on your site and especially your home page? If it looks like a scraper site, with or without AdSense ads, that may be part of the problem. Move those ads elsewhere. Don't run Adsense on your home page.
6. Do a large portion of the pages on your website have supplemental results (duplicate content penalties). If so add original content to those pages. The problem with accepting articles from others is that often they have been posted elsewhere first and your site will receive the penalty. The only way around this is to add more content yourself before or after that article so the search engine will hopefully remove that penalty (it may take several weeks or months however). The best solution: do not accept articles from others unless they promise to not post them elsewhere or they just wrote it and you're the first site they have submitted to.
7. Does your site take over 1 minute to load on dialup. if so, it may deter visitors and also search engines won't wait either.
8. Last but not least--validate the code on all your pages and don't just rely on W3C as it no longer catches all broken tags. Use an alternate code validator.
The last two may seem insignificate but if there are several problems on your site and these occur also it may just tip the scale where the Google ban is applied.
On top of the search listings for those items are a selection of simple affiliate product lists in directories which have no relation to our sport whatsoever.
So looking forward to the day when this 'purging' of directories or whatever reaches us.
If anything, this year these sites have risen in the rankings which is a farce. Fortunately our visitors appear to be using our aff. links quite well as revenues are rising.
Lesson on writing content I suppose.
I hope that google will look at me again. What I don't understand is how all of this works. If there are sites out there that have PR's of 6 and 7 and are ranked well and link to me how is it that when they are spidered and cached now that I don't get picked up.
I feel as though since July 28 when I was completely banned that there is a list that google uses and the websites banned are in big red letters. I know that I've said this before, but if you have been banned and you know that you have not done anything wrong how can you fix it if google won't tell you what is wrong. I am hoping that a shared ip was the problem. Maybe I was banned because others on my IP were banned for something, and my site got caught up in it.
Each time you mover to a new server you then extend the time it takes for Google to find your website.
As it looks like the next monthly crawl won't be till the end of August beginning of Spetember you probably won't see anything till after September 15 or so.
What I don't understand is how all of this works. If there are sites out there that have PR's of 6 and 7 and are ranked well and link to me how is it that when they are spidered and cached now that I don't get picked up.
PR is not an indication of how often Google surfs a site. If they don't update their site often then Google won't follow the links on that PR 7 site very often either.
Keep in mind that Googlebot and other search engine bots are not as up to date as modern browsers. If a site loads too slow they will go elsewhere.
One way to find out for sure is to drastically reduce the content of your home page (making sure it loads in under 12 seconds --the minimum for dialup) and watch the google cache of your home page to see when it's updated. Wait till the Google cache is dated after you changed the home page and then watch for results. The update in serps may take longer than the cache update however so don't expect immediate results.
Is it true Google is banning affiliate sites?
What about reciprocal links directories?
Also unrelated homepage links?
Sorry I don't deal in affiliates so no experience there. However there were several threads on this topic last year as I recall.
Re reciprocal or unrelated links harming your site--it's who YOU link to that can harm your site--not who links to you--otherwise competitors could put everyone else out of business and the internet would expire.
If you link to a link farm or free for all site, that could cause a penalty for your site, but I doubt your reciprocal linking to a directory could cause a problem unless perhaps they are a scraper directory that was banned.
I check out each directory very carefully before submitting websites (clicking on their links) to make sure they aren't a scraper, but sometimes that's hard to detect.
The site started out providing web services. Grew by licensing world news and had AdSense on it.
Since the update we feel having Adsense ads was among the main factors for us being penalized.
We are working to have the penalty removed, but this update has been very challenging to get through.

Still banned though, keeping my fingers crossed.
I have some good news for you. If your sites were banned from the index for spamming you would never receive the reply that the matter has been forwarded to their engineers.
Not true; I have five banned directories, contacted google regarding each one of them separetedly and received the "we will forward this to an engineer" response. Not even a single site got back to google, even after their engineers have done the manual review.
Let me know, will you, when and if your site gets back into Google? By any chance, have you seen the Mozilla 5.0/Googlebot 2.1 bot spidering your site lately like heck? I have..
Strange thing: My homepage's cache was July 25th, the last day it was cached since this whole fiasco. Now it's cached for August 9th, but the bot doesn't really seem to be spidering at all, just the Mozilla 5.0 bot... which I don't believe to be the regular crawler.
Well then that should be an indication to you that something is definitely wrong in how you approached your websites.
However most who have received that letter and have quality sites are placed back in after a few weeks.
I wish I could be of more help to you but if Googles got a problem you need to find what it is and fix it..
Do you have a robots.txt file on your server and in the same directory (folder) as your index page?
If not you need one...googlebot seems to be ignoring sites without them or taking an even longer time to include in the index?

Hi Clint,
Maybe that is my problem. I wondered if that was it. If you have frontpage where do I go to learn how to put one on my site? I don't want to make a mistake.
Let me know, will you, when and if your site gets back into Google? By any chance, have you seen the Mozilla 5.0/Googlebot 2.1 bot spidering your site lately like heck? I have..
Whether or not your site was reincluded, googlebot would still be visiting your banned site and caching it. A little activity of the bots yes but they are still there, or at least of one them.
My guess is that there are caching bots, crawlers bots, ban checking bots, etc..
Well then that should be an indication to you that something is definitely wrong in how you approached your websites.
That's what am saying. Eve if you get the forwarding to an engineer ticket, that doesnt mean that your site is not a spammy one.
1. I never said it did it.
However not having one whengooglebot requests it each time is a good reason for delay in re-inclusion.
2. There is no such thing as google death penalty and you adding such only adds to undue hysteria.
There are bans and and filters applied to websites and pages for many reasons.
Lastly before annointing yourself an SEO, perhaps you should understand something so basic as the use of a robots.txt file.

Getting basketball coaches to agree on something can often be an arduous task. But seemingly every season, girls coaches around the state can always come to the same conclusion on one thing.
"I think most coaches would agree across the state that ours is the toughest district in the state in 4-4A," Canyon coach Joe Lombard said. "Normally out of our six teams, five are ranked in the top 20. It certainly makes for great basketball for the fans."
Tradition certainly factors into the equation. Teams now in the district have competed for the last four state championships - with Canyon, Levelland and Randall each winning a title.
The Lady Eagles should have the advantage again this season after sweeping past the district competition a year ago - and without a senior on the roster. Canyon is ranked No. 4 in the nation by USA Today, losing only to top-ranked Harbor City (Calif.) Narbonne by two points in the nation, at the Nike Santa Barbara Tournament of Champions.
Canyon's strength begins underneath with Texas Tech signee Jolee Ayers and all-state junior T'nae Thiel. Megan Moore and Carlee Massie lead the backcourt, while the rest of the Lady Eagles also see plenty of playing time.
"Our depth has been one of our assets of our team," Lombard said. "Our kids have all gotten quite a bit of playing time."
The Lady Eagles have been beset with injury, however, as sophomore wing Teagan Thiel was lost for the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
While Canyon may have two of the best posts in the state, Plainview may have one of the best guard combos around in Stephanie Shaw, Kami Bates and Brittany Reinart. All three got plenty of playing time as sophomores and have proved to be even better this season as juniors.
"Our guards really need to play well night-in and night-out," Plainview coach Danny Wrenn said. "They need to be consistent on both ends of the floor. I think they're a big key. They're juniors now, so they've got more experience."
Randall also has plenty of experience returning with three starters and seven letter winners - including Nichols State signee Anika Holmes.
But inconsistency has been a problem for the Lady Raiders early, something coach Jim Wilcoxson said his team will have to overcome to be successful in the district.
"District's starting and I think they've realized we've lost a couple of games we had no business losing," Wilcoxson said.
Elsewhere in the district, a pair of new coaches will also be prowling the sidelines at Levelland and Frenship. Ricky Lindsey takes over at Levelland for legendary coach Dean Weese - and should have another team in contention for the playoffs.
Frenship coach Terry Lowrey has one of the few teams that can match size with the big posts of Canyon. Junior Jennifer Bagwell (6-5) and senior Denise Martin (6-2) give the Lady Tigers a strong inside duo.
Estacado remains the most inexperienced team in the district and could struggle against the other top teams. Canyon Lady EaglesCoach: Joe Lombard.
Current record: 19-1.
Best win to date: Second in Nike Santa Barbara Tournament of Champions in California; won Dr. Pepper Invitational in Dallas.
Coach's quote: "I really think we are playing even better than a year ago," Lombard said. "The competition we've played has really been super."
District opener: at Wolfforth Frenship, 8 p.m. Randall Lady RaidersCoach: Jim Wilcoxson.
Current record: 13-6.
Best win to date: Finished second in Cal Farley Tip-off Classic.
Coach's quote: "Our team has been inconsistent," Wilcoxson said. "We've played really good at times when we really get after it. But we lost a couple of game we had no business losing because we were inconsistent. That's something we've really been trying to work on."
District opener: vs. Levelland, 8 p.m.

Dan's new book – Am I the Killer? Amazon $0.99
Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review – Plenty of 'whodunnit' mysteries revolve around locating the perp. The majority feature the investigator's viewpoint and readers either know the identity of the killer or follow the leader in uncovering it.
True to its intriguing title, however, Am I The Killer? offers up a different perspective: one in which the first-person protagonist admits he could be the killer – but really doesn't know if he's guilty or not. Thus spins a yarn of not just discovery but self-discovery as an ex-soldier with memory issues faces the possibility that he could have beaten to death a guy he never liked.
Peter's always tried to do the right thing, but life has dealt him some hard blows and it seems that no matter how much he tries, his choices just lead to trouble. Now he's in the biggest trouble of all – and this saga begins with his arrest and works backward and forward in recounting the circumstances that led to and from this point. The big question is: what's he going to do now?
The answer involves a quest to remember; one which moves through drug treatments, memory tests, and Peter's dreams and revelations to lend clues about who he really is: "Vinny trudged up the stairs just when Billy Wyatt got slammed on the head. Was I dreaming or in another trance? This time the episode was really vivid. Details of Wyatt's house were exactly as they were. It felt so real that I began to panic. It couldn't be a dream, could it? Holy shit, was it really me who hit him? I struggled to pull off my sweat-soaked shirt, and I hit the ground with a thud."
Witch hunts, police seizures, closed cases, open hearts: as events swirl around Peter's struggle to discover himself, readers are treated to a vivid series of insights surrounding evidence and puzzles.
"Sometimes you solve a case but never know what actually happened." The juxtaposition of Peter's first-person world with a third-person investigator's efforts creates a satisfyingly multi-faceted, well-rounded story that grabs readers from the first few paragraphs and doesn't let go until its unexpected end.
California Book Watch – Readers of detective fiction will find the psychological depth and detail of Am I The Killer? simply sterling.
Complicit Witness – A crime novel set on Staten Island that ranked No 4 on Amazon paid crime list.
Print & Kindle Version at Amazon ONLY 99 cents
E-Book for Apple, B&N Nook, Sony, Kindle etc. at Smashwords only $1.99
A smuggler stays one heart pounding step ahead of the law until he's forced to choose between life behind bars or certain death for betraying his ruthless boss.
As the 1970's melt into the 80's, Staten Island is loaded with gangsters and wannabes and it's where Tommy, a world-class schemer, smuggles to earn the money he squanders. The Italian gang he's with joins forces with a ruthless Russian, who takes command, enlarging the enterprise. The expansion catches the attention of an ambitious DA, who is about to run for Mayor and despite the intensifying heat, the gang ups the stakes. The DA, embarrassed by botched opportunities to lock up the Russian, obsessively pursues a way to shut down their activities, amping up the risk and tension.
Curious about what China is really like? Then I have an exciting novel to share with you. Push Back, a page turner set in present day China, will entertain and educate. The reviews, including a great one from Kirkus Book Review have been fantastic!

Root Wood Flat Cut Bowl with Handles
Excludes large or bulky items.
For thousands of years, expert carvers in mountainous regions of Eastern Asia have transformed gnarled stumps of Shan Mu fir trees into exquisite works of art such as this gorgeous flat-cut bowl. These stumps are left by logging operations, and their removal allows faster re-growth of newly planted seedlings.
Each unique bowl is finished with a food-safe lacquer that protects and magnifies the natural beauty of the wood. Use as a centerpiece, basket or for serving dry foods. Not recommended for hot food or liquids given the natural fissures and knotholes that may allow leakage.

PARKLAND, Wash. (AP) — Authorities say it's lucky no one was hurt in a takeover-style robbery of a bank in Parkland.
Three masked gunman pushed customers out of the way, jumped over the counter and yelled at tellers about 9:30 a.m. Wednesday at the Wells Fargo branch.
KOMO-TV reports the robbers grabbed cash and fled in a stolen car that was abandoned a few blocks away where they apparently took off in a second car.
Pierce County sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer says the robbers are obviously violent and someone could have been injured.
The FBI is investigating.

The programme for the 2015-2016 season of Newport & Gwent Literary Club:
Wednesday 30th September 2015
Gillian Clarke, the National Poet of Wales, launches the new season and talks about the difference between writing "official" poems and writing poems as Gillian Clarke.
Gillian was born in Cardiff and lives in Ceredigion. She has been National Poet for Wales since 2008. She is President of Tŷ Newydd, the Welsh Writers Centre which she co-founded in 1990. Her work has been widely studied for GCSE and A Level for many years. She has published thirteen books for adults, and several for children as writer, translator or editor. Her first prose collection, At the Source, appeared in 2008. Her recent collection of poems, Ice, was short-listed for the TS Eliot Award 2012.

Carol Ann Duffy, The Guardian
"…Gillian Clarke's [poems] ring with lucidity and power…Clarke's work is both personal and archetypal, built out of language as concrete as it is musical…"

Neil Badmington: the death of the author.
Roland Barthes emphasizes that an author does not exist prior to or outside of language. In other words, it is writing that makes an author and not vice versa.
Neil was born and grew up in Abergavenny in a county with an undecidable, contested status between England and Wales. To quote Raymond Williams, whose childhood home was just a few miles from Neil's, 'We talked of "The English" who were not us, and "The Welsh" who were not us'.
His family, like many Welsh families, had high hopes that Neil would one day become a famous international rugby player, but no one was quite sure, given the curious status of Monmouthshire, which national side Neil might play for. 'You could go either way', he was often told. Neil didn't realise it at the time, but this experience of being thrown into an enigmatic culture that was neither Welsh nor English set him up well for an academic career informed above all by the work of Roland Barthes and Jacques Derrida, where clear categories and binary oppositions are a myth, unstable, to be treated with deep suspicion.
After comprehensive school, Neil became the first person in his family to attend university – Exeter – to study American and Commonwealth Arts. A year at the University of California, Santa Cruz, in 1992-3 exposed him to critical and cultural theory, and he went on to study for an MA and PhD in this field at Cardiff University in the mid-late 1990s, under the supervision of Catherine Belsey. On completing his PhD in late 1998, Neil was appointed to the English department at Cardiff University, and has been there ever since, no longer in a geographical borderland, but still in an academic one.

Catherine Fisher celebrates Alice in Wonderland's 150th anniversary: Lewis Carroll – The Red King's Dream.
"A Christmas gift to a dear child in memory of a summer's day". In 1865 Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was published with illustrations by John Tenniel. It was quickly a publishing sensation and has never been out of print. But what can it all mean?
Catherine Fisher has won many awards and critical acclaim for her work. Her poetry has appeared in leading periodicals and anthologies and her volume Immrama won the WAC Young Writers' Prize. She won the 1990 Cardiff International Poetry Competition.
Her first novel, The Conjuror's Game, was shortlisted for the Smarties Books prize and The Snow-Walker's Son for the W.H.Smith Award. Equally acclaimed is her quartet The Book of the Crow, a classic of fantasy fiction.
The Oracle, the first volume in the Oracle trilogy, blends Egyptian and Greek elements of magic and adventure and was shortlisted for the Whitbread Children's Books prize. The trilogy was an international bestseller and has appeared in over twenty languages. The Candleman won the Welsh Books Council's Tir Na n'Og Prize and Catherine was also shortlisted for the remarkable Corbenic, a modern re-inventing of the Grail legend.
Her futuristic novel Incarceron was published to widespread praise in 2007, winning the Mythopoeic Society of America's Children's Fiction Award and selected by The Times as its Children's Book of the Year. The sequel, Sapphique, was published in September 2008.

Alyce von Rothkirch: Villains and Morality in Crime Fiction
…..a view of villains and their crimes in the classic detective story. A wide range of stories by authors such as Arthur Conan Doyle, Arthur Morrison, Baroness Orczy, Ernest Brahmah, and R. Austin Freeman are examined. Perhaps villains represent various sources of anxiety in late Victorian and Edwardian British society, such as fear of degeneracy, foreign influences, and the increased opportunities for deception arising from moneyed wealth. The success of the classic detective story thus depends as much on the exploitation of contemporary social fears as on the deployment of literary stereotypes.
This lecture is partly based upon an article, 'His face was livid, dreadful, with a foam at the corners of his mouth': A Typology of Villains in Classic Detective Stories. Available from:
Dr Alyce von Rothkirch is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Adult Continuing Education at Swansea University, where she teaches English literature. Her research focuses on Welsh writing in English as well as detective and crime fiction. Her latest book is J.O. Francis, Realist Drama and Ethics: Culture, Place and Nation (University of Wales Press, 2014) about the early 20th century Welsh playwright J.O. Francis. She is particularly interested in ethical relationships in literature and is currently exploring human-animal relationships in culture and literature.

Carolyn Hitt is a regular columnist for The Western Mail and the first woman to win the Welsh Sports Hall of Fame Journalist of the Year award. She has written and presented television and radio series on the arts, popular culture, consumer issues and sport for Radio 4, BBC Wales and ITV Wales. Her passion for rugby has taken her all over the world and secured her interviews with some of the biggest legends of the game. When she became the first woman to win the BT UK Sports Journalist of the Year, the judges praised the way she appeals to a crossover audience with genuine wit, originality of approach and thorough knowledge of the subjects. Wales Play in Red (Gomer 2012) drew from a fascination which began in childhood. Primary school eisteddfod 1976. "Draw a picture that means Wales to you," said our headmaster. Carol Andrew drew a daffodil. Sara Ellis drew a pit-head wheel. And me? I drew Mervyn Davies." The book title is helpful advice to Carolyn offered by a colleague. Gender? Your guess. But who won the prize?
The only thing she hasn't written yet is her lecture title….

Katie Gramich celebrates Charlotte's 200th Birthday
Charlotte Bronte was born in Thornton, near Bradford, on 21st April 1816. She was the eldest of the three writers. Thackeray's daughter wrote a diary note about meeting Charlotte on one of her visits to London: a tiny, delicate, serious, little lady, with fair straight hair and steady eyes. She may be a little over thirty; she is dressed in a little barège dress with a pattern of faint green moss. She enters in mittens, in silence, in seriousness; our hearts are beating with wild excitement. This then is the authoress, the unknown power whose books have set all London talking, reading, speculating;
Katie Gramich is a critic and editor. Born in Rhydlewis, Ceredigion. Studied English and Spanish Literature at the University of Wales Aberystwyth and King's College, London, before going on to do a doctorate in Comparative Literature at the University of Alberta, Canada. Has held academic posts at the University of Wales, Swansea; Portsmouth University; Trinity College in Carmarthen; and the Open University. Currently Chair of the Association for Welsh Writing in English and co–editor of the Honno Classics series. Her research interests are in the literature of Wales in both languages, women's writing, post–colonial and translation studies. She is currently Senior Lecturer in English Literature at Cardiff University.

What better reason to escape the dreary doldrums of the indoors on a cold winter day than snowboarding? Consider the Capita Outdoor Living Snowboard your vehicle to leaving the ordinary world behind to tear up winter's frozen wonderland. Its go-anywhere Zero Camber profile and true twin shape make this deck a must-have for park and resort riders looking for an affordable all-mountain freestyle machine.
Locked and loaded with a Zero Camber profile, you'll find the Outdoor Living Snowboard extremely stable at high speeds with enough stiffness to boost off huge kickers and stomp heavy landings in the park.Inside this park and resort specialist, you'll find a RFC Sustainable Select core for a lightweight feel and robust durability, thanks to its tip-to-tail poplar wood.
Capita placed 4 X 20mm Inlayed Titanal Struts through the board's mid-section to soak up nasty vibrations, also adding precise control when you're spinning off serious park jumps. Special Blend EVO Tech fiberglass (biax) keeps its flex torsionally mellow, allowing you to jib and grind through the park without too much added resistance, especially at the tip and tail. Additionally, its XXX[TRUDED] base allows for easy repairs when you inevitably bang, smash, and thrash your base on rails, jibs, and hidden stumps.

Capita Outdoor Living Snowboard
Capita Outdoor Living Snowboard
Very predictable
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
The Outdoor Living is most comfortable cruising around the resort riding a little bit of everything. The Zero camber isn't so soft underfoot then the reverse camber models offered. The outdoor has the awesome feel of a broken in twin tip right out of the wrapper. The board rides more lively then ever with new Titanal struts under foot.
This is a great choice for someone who's got one board in mind for the season to ride everything.

Lynbrook spending plan deserves approval
This is the second time since the state implemented a cap on the amount of revenue schools can raise through property taxes that the Lynbrook School District has crafted a budget that comes in under the allowable rate. At 1.52 percent, this is the district's lowest tax levy increase in decades.

I was experimenting with some new ways of generating outer space "dust". The scene started in Lightwave (the stellar "phenomena") and then I used the resulting render as a backdrop in Vue d'Esprit to add the dust. I used the resulting combination as yet another backdrop in Lightwave to add the planets. Then back into Vue for one more layer of dust. I may do some more playing around with this technique in the future..."
Pickle Jar Versions
Technical note: In the past I have used Zbrush for "landforms" such as these (see "Circumpolar) but this time I chose to use Vue's built in "symmetrical terrains". By adjusting the clipping range you can make all sorts of interesting shapes without the memory overhead of importing .OBJs.
Jessie told me this one reminded her of some of my earlier work, and I tend to think this is because of the lack of any vegetation or the other objects I tend to scatter around using Vue's ecosystems. I tried adding some "alien flora" here and there but nothing seemed to look right (given the scale of the scene). I may yet play around with that but I thought it looked nice enough to share as is. Hope you enjoy it!"
After switching my workstation over to Bucephalus in June 2011 I was looking through my old hard disk for projects to revisit (mostly old multiscreens that I neglected to render). I found my old "planetary" version of Phraxis and decided to post it in the Pickle Jar.
The reaction was so positive that I decided to spend a few more hours and flesh out the rough scene so it could have its own place in my gallery. Thanks for the feedback everyone!
I've also added some 'glowing foam' in the surf. I would be interested to hear your feedback on that.

The Charlottesville Police Department, under the command of Chief Timothy J. Longo Sr., has been transformed from a reactive force focused on arresting lawbreakers to one that is creatively connecting with the community to solve specific problems. However, as in most cities, 90 percent of the Charlottesville police budget goes to pay for salaries and vehicles. And housing costs are so high here that very few officers can afford to live in the city they serve. Founded in 2004 by a group of local citizens, the Foundation helps the department by providing advanced training, new technologies and equipment, housing assistance, structured community outreach and other support. I hope you will consider partnering with us to help the Charlottesville Police Department achieve its strategic mission to serve, protect, and improve the quality of life for those who reside, work, and visit in our community.
The CPF was granted 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status in July of 2004.

Nicole takes 1-2 oz of food 1-2x day and I was wondering how much other babies were eating.
How much baby food is your LO eating?

Chase eats 1/4 cup of oatmeal in the morning, a small (2oz) veggie for lunch, and a larger (Stage 2) for dinner. But yesterday my chunker ate 2 of the stage 1 gerber food cups for lunch, I fed him one and he was still hungry so I gave him another one. Really didn't think he'd eat all the second one but yep. And he was real proud of himself too.
Two things are infinite : the universe and human stupidity; I'm not sure about the universe.
WOW! My LO is still experimenting I think, she eats 1 TBSP oatmeal in the morning and about 1.5 ounces of veggies in the evening. Adding a 3rd meal next week.

My LO is still just experimenting w/ rice cereal, I've been a little slower w/ introducing solids to him than I was w/ the girls. I think its a combo of being busy....and wanting to wait til he was closer to 6 months.

I have a good eater on my hands...he eats some oatmeal mixed with half a stage 2 jar of fruit in the morning, then the rest of the jar at lunch in addition to a stage 2 jar of veggies.

My DD will eat two stage 2 tubs of food a day ( I think they have 3.5 oz in each). She has been eating solids for more than two months now. If she likes the food she will eat the whole tub or jar. She has cut down on how much formula she drinks too, she is drinking about 28 oz a day, down from 40.
Loving wife and mom to Pookie (7/2007) and Tinky (4/2009).
My LO is a very good eater. For lunch he'll have 2 of the 2.5oz containers (veggie and fruit) and for dinner he'll also take 2 of the 2.5oz containers again a veggie and a fruit. I think if I offered him a 3rd he will take that too... of course he also takes in about 24-30 oz of formula throughout the day.
Proud first time mommy to Eddie Cosme Jr. (5/15/09)
My baby girl is EBF, so we are still trying to work the solid foods in. So far, we are consistently giving her one jar of Stage 1 foods at dinner time (fruit or vegi). Once in awhile I give her a little bit of oatmeal after her morning breastfeeding or around lunchtime. We jsut graduated from feeding her in the Bumbo to now a highchair, so I expect we will add more solid foods soon. No rush here. I want to be sure most of her nutrition comes from breastmilk still, not replacing nursing sessions for solids.

Keira gets about 1/2 oz of fruit mixed with cereal before her morning nap and about 1/2 oz of veggies after her afternoon nap. I've been focusing more on getting her to consistantly eat her bottles, one day she'll drink 23 oz the next she'll eat almost 40. Darned teething.
Either way her 6 month check up/shots is next week and I'll be reviewing her eating habits with the pediatrician.
Apparently my daughter is a really good eater...She has 1/4 cup of cereal for breakfast mixed with 1/2 a stage 2 fruit, for lunch she has another 1/4 cup of cereal mixed with 1/2 a stage 2 veggie and then for dinner she has a stage 2 dinner and 1/2 a stage 2 fruit or veggie. Plus about 24 oz of formula.
This is really helpful. Thanks everyone!!!

text: I am currently trying to finish the quest 'Alduin's Bane'. I have retrieved the Elder Scroll, visited my buddy in the mountain and initiated the time warp. I watch the three guys kill the first dragon then we all sit and wait for Alduin to turn up so I can learn the dragonrend shout but he never does. I have left the game running for over an hour and the NPCs just stand 'in combat' and 4 lesser looking dragons permanently fly around the top of the mountain. I have reloaded from previous saves and re-opened the game etc but the quest is just totally bugged and I cant continue past it. Do you have any suggestion for this?

Nice XD
Mine too
A happy Pinkamena that is not out to get us....reeeal "normal"
Ohhhhhh Gawd! Dazzle, you may wanna consider a fallout shelter to run to for the next few months!
Huh, since we've seen how the mood swings affect Pinkie....imagine what it'd be like when she starts getting food cravings o_o
ok everyone, i think that now would be a good time to panic
Well, this better than I thought she would take it.
Wouldn't that be a normal craving for Pinkie?
Hmm, not as bad as I thought it'd be.
I think the idea was, she's having "wild mood swings" is all. This one doesn't go "cupcakes" at all otherwise, she would have done that during the festival.
Yep, definitely Pinkie-normal...
oh snap lol
Damn, when Pinkie feels an emotion, ANY emotion, she feels it to the Nth degree.
Oh dear....dazzle is so screwed
You think it's bad now, just wait until she goes into labor!
Oh come on...none of this cupcakes bull. Pinkie loves Dazzle enough to not go full Pinkamena and shove him in an oven during labor lol
Kid you not Dekamaru, my brother and his girl friend are going to be parents soon. :0
Shit, I have to go to bed having that face be the last thing I see.... O-O, the third panel is going to leave me with nightmares, Luna please help.
WOAH that last face looks really disfigured OnO
Wait... She says she's happy and crying tears of joy, but she's discorded so she's sad and depressed...
She's not discorded. When Pinkie gets sad, her hair droops and she loses hue, when she's discorded, her hair stay the same and she loses saturation.
Mood Swings mang
Oooh boy Max is gonna have his hooves full. I feel bad for both of them, Poor Pinkie is scared about being a mom & because she's pregnant she doesn't know what to do with her feels and Poor Max has try his hardest to help her & deal with it all. I weep for the Cakes though, there will not simply be enough goodies in the whole bakery to satisfy & help Pinkie.
oh mamoth!
If she's insane now, I hate to think what else her mood swings are like.
Third Panel: Are...mouths...supposed to look like that?
For other people I wouldn't agree to the description, but for Pinkie well yeah I can agree.
XD omg i love it
Looks like she's handling them just fine
She's so angry that's she's happy. xD and that's how Pinkamena cries happy tears. x33
Pregnant mood swings. Happy then sad then crazy.
Yep, her moods are swinging. Saying she's happy while looking like Pinkamena and crying.

Technical books for graduate students and engineers include Jack R. Jones and Larry K. Britt, Design and Appraisal of Hydraulic Fractures (2009), published by the Society of Petroleum Engineers; and Ching H. Yew, Mechanics of Hydraulic Fracturing (1997).
Documentary films available on disk or online have approached fracking from several points of view. Haynesville: A Nation's Hunt for an Energy Future (2009), directed by freelancer Gregory Kallenberg, profiles three property owners in Louisiana whose lives are profoundly affected by development of the huge Haynesville Shale. Shale Gas and America's Future (2010), directed by Jennifer Gruber for a documentary-production company, was commissioned by the American Clean Skies Foundation, a nonprofit organization with ties to the natural gas industry and other energy industries. That film is presented as offering factual discussion of the role of shale gas in America's dual quest for both energy independence and a cleaner environment.
Gasland (2010), by independent filmmaker Josh Fox, was nominated for an Oscar for best documentary feature by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. It is openly scornful of the natural gas industry and presents numerous examples of environmental damage and health problems claimed to be caused by drilling and fracking. Another documentary critical of the gas industry is Split Estate (2009), directed by Debra Anderson for Planet Green, an environmental television network. Winner of an Emmy Award from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, Split Estate traces conflicts between drilling companies and residents of a community in Colorado.

HEBRON, West Bank - Israeli forces blew up a fortress like Palestinian municipal and security headquarters today where the army said wanted Palestinians were holed up, ending a 4-day-old siege and leaving behind enormous piles of rubble and overturned cars.
After daybreak the extent of the devastation was apparent, with smoke still rising from the debris of the building in Hebron. It was demolished with two enormous explosions rigged by the Israeli army late Friday and early today. Overturned cars littered the area.
A couple of soldiers stood guard with a half-dozen tanks. Bulldozers that had been used in recent days to punch holes in ground floor walls were silent and nobody was searching for bodies.
The army officially said its operations were continuing in Hebron, but Israeli military officials told The Associated Press they were unaware of anybody having been found, alive or dead. Military officials said about 15 wanted men were hunkered down in the building.
"There's nothing called the headquarters anymore," said Mohammed Maswadeh, whose windows, like all others in the area, were blown out by the blast some 120 yards away.
A new building within the compound, where Palestinian intelligence offices were located, remained intact, having been taken over by the army. Israeli military jeeps patrolled the town, reminding residents to stay indoors because of the curfew imposed on the city. Before the second blast, the Israeli army commented on the first - which residents said blew out about a quarter of the building - saying its forces had rigged with explosives a part of the headquarters where it believed the wanted men were still hiding despite days of warnings to surrender.
The compound was surrounded early Tuesday as part of a West Bank military offensive that has confined 700,000 Palestinians to their homes while soldiers search for Palestinians suspected of links to deadly attacks on Israelis. The open-ended campaign, prompted by twin suicide bombings that killed 26 Israelis, began a week and a half ago.
The compound, used in the past as a base for British, Jordanian and Israeli forces, had housed offices of the Palestinian Authority's local governor and security forces. Scores of police officers had walked out of the building over the past four days, and the army said that 20 wanted men gave themselves up and were arrested.
Apache attack helicopters circled overhead after the first explosion, which sent sparks high into the night sky. Smoke and fire could be seen from a ground-floor corner of the building, with flames flaring up the side of the four-story building before quickly dying down and out.
"The (army) operated in the Palestinians' security compound and detonated in a controlled manner a part of the building where wanted Palestinians were taking refuge and refused to turn themselves in," said the army statement released before the second blast.
A former Palestinian Cabinet minister had been allowed in by the army Friday to try to negotiate a surrender. Talal Sidr said he couldn't find the men, but that he was unable to search all of the heavily damaged building. The army said afterward its soldiers were certain the men were still inside.
Even before the explosions, the building had been badly damaged by missile and heavy machine-gun fire as well as military bulldozers as the army tried to force out those inside.
Maswadeh compared the second blast to an earthquake, saying everything in his house shook: "I'd never seen an explosion like that. The cars nearby blew into the air and dropped down."
While operating in the Hebron area, soldiers have found an explosives lab containing belts ready for use in suicide bombing missions, the army said. It said more than 50 suspects from Palestinian security forces had been arrested throughout Hebron.
Also on Friday, a photograph showing a Palestinian baby dressed up like a suicide bomber with apparently fake ammunition belts and explosives strapped to its body angered Israelis. The picture was released by the Israeli army.
A man who identified himself as the uncle of the baby in the picture but did not give his name told the British television network Sky News that the picture was authentic and the baby was dressed up at a party about six months ago at a university. Col. Miri Eisin, senior Israeli intelligence analyst, said the ammunition probably was not real.
Israel has raided seven of the eight major Palestinian cities in the West Bank. The army decided Friday to allow journalists, who have been banned from the besieged cities for 10 days, to work in six of them. Journalists remain barred from Hebron because of ongoing military operations, the army said.

Special to The 420 Times by David Fiedler
If significant radiation hits California from Japan, how will this affect our $10 Billion marijuana crop? Will it be safe to smoke, or even make edibles from? Will the 2011 crop have to be tested with geiger counters? Will growers be forced to certify they were indoor-only? Or will we all be dead anyway and not have to worry about it?
Assuming there isn't a world-threatening mega-meltdown from the Fukushima nuclear reactors – which could make the simple act of surviving more important than your next dose of medicine – what kind of problems might be caused for the medical marijuana industry here in California by drifting radiation from Japan?
According to sources such as K14U.com, it all depends. And that is to say, it depends on many factors, such as the amount of radioactivity, the altitude that radioactive particles reach in the air, and the direction of the wind. Luckily, it isn't fallout from a nuclear explosion we're dealing with, because that would send radioactive particles high into the atmosphere, where they can enter the jet stream, traveling literally around the world at high speed in days.
The more localized phenomenon of a coolant failure, even if it results in a meltdown, is unlikely to release radioactivity in such a way that particles would do more than drift eastward slowly, if at all. That gives them plenty of time to get rained out of the atmosphere before they come near land (although you might want to get your genuine Maui Wowee now, since Hawaii is quite a bit closer to Japan than California and therefore more likely to be affected). So to repeat more clearly: there should be no direct danger to people living anywhere in the United States.
The real danger is to food, water, and cannabis alike, and it comes from microscopic particles of Iodine-131, a radioactive isotope which can accumulate in your thyroid gland, eventually causing thyroid cancer. Only a small fraction of people exposed develop cancer, and only a relatively small fraction of those people die, but it's certainly nothing you want to fool with.
Luckily, dealing with this level of contamination is relatively easy…you just wash up. One Japanese doctor thinks the best analogy is for you to think of yourself as a hay fever sufferer and the contamination as pollen. Just brush it off your clothes and body, and try to keep it out of your home or car. Now to get to our favorite subject, marijuana; especially outdoor-grown marijuana. Basically, go with the instructions that farmers get from the government and understand that the radioactive half-life of Iodine-131 is about 8 days, so in a little more than two weeks, the effective contamination is just a fraction of what it was at the beginning.
So unless somehow you happen to be growing and ready to harvest outdoor crops in the next two weeks and an amount of radiation escapes that's huge enough to affect us here in California, you don't really have to worry. But if you want to be extra careful, you should wash off the leaves and buds of any plant that grew in contaminated conditions, and you'd still probably want to do a water cure for the safest result.
While we're at it, please spare a moment to think of all the people in Japan who actually are close enough to the Fukushima site to seriously have to deal with this right now…not to mention the many thousands who have already died and even more who live in cities and towns that have been wiped away by the earthquake and tsunami.
David Fiedler has been writing professionally about various technical subjects for 30 years, and distinctly remembers being taught how to hide under his school desk in case of nuclear war.

Ukraine's post-Maidan authorities have embarked upon an ambitious reform programme to improve the country's framework for investment and strengthen the country as an attractive investment destination. This review, which was prepared in close cooperation with the Ukrainian authorities in response to their 2011 request to adhere to the Declaration on International Investment and Multinational Enterprises (OECD Declaration), analyses the general investment framework as well as recent reform, and shows where further efforts are necessary. It assesses Ukraine's ability to comply with the principles of openness, transparency and non-discrimination and its policy convergence with international investment standards such as the OECD Declaration. In light of the recently updated OECD Policy Framework for Investment, it also studies other areas such as investment promotion and facilitation, infrastructure development; financial sector development and responsible business conduct practices. In the scarcely two years since a new attempt at economic reforms was launched in earnest, Ukraine has made quite important progress in introducing a modern legal framework for investment. But additional efforts are required in some policy areas to reaffirm Ukraine's attractiveness for investors.
The OECD supports countries of Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia (EECCA) to reconcile their environment and economic goals thus addressing the heavy environmental legacy of the Soviet model of development. This support is provided within the framework of the Task Force for the Implementation of the Environmental Action Programme (the EAP Task Force).
These ready-made tables and charts provide for snapshot of aid (Official Development Assistance) for all DAC Members as well as recipient countries and territories. Summary reports by regions (Africa, America, Asia, Europe, Oceania) and the world are also available.
Data on government support to agriculture in the OECD area and other major economies, measured by the Producer Support Estimate (PSE) and Consumer Support Estimate.
The SME Policy Index is a benchmarking tool designed for emerging economies to assess SME policy frameworks and monitor progress in policy implementation over time. The Index has been developed by the OECD in partnership with the European Commission, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), and the European Training Foundation (ETF) in 2006.
For the Eastern Partner Countries, the assessment framework is structured around the ten principles of the Small Business Act for Europe (SBA), providing a wide-range of pro-enterprise measures to guide the design and implementation of SME policies based on good practices promoted by the EU and the OECD. It is applied to the Eastern Partner Countries for the second time since 2012.
The Index identifies strengths and weaknesses in policy design and implementation, allows for comparison across countries and measures convergence towards good practices and relevant policy standards. It aims to support governments in setting targets for SME policy development and to identify strategic priorities to further improve the business environment. It also helps to engage governments in policy dialogue and exchange good practices within the region and with OECD and EU members.
This project supports Ukraine in its fight against corruption with a view to to strengthening the country's legal and institutional capacity to effectively detect, investigate and prosecute high-profile and complex corruption.
The OECD has worked with Ukraine since its independence, and our collaboration has gradually intensified and deepened. The goal of this meeting is to deepen our exchanges on the needed reforms in Ukraine and ensure the effectiveness of our recently signed OECD Action Plan for Ukraine.
The OECD will hold its first "Ukraine Day", a high-level consultation to discuss how the international community can support Ukraine in meeting its policy challenges and implementing ambitious structural and institutional reforms.
Ministers expressed full support for the OECD's global relations strategy, as an essential element to increase its impact and relevance. This strategy has been the centrepiece of Secretary-General Angel Gurría's vision to transform the Organisation into a more inclusive, global policy network and a prime forum for evidence-based policy exchange and global standard setting.
The OECD and Ukraine today signed an Action Plan for strengthening co-operation to help tackle corruption, improve public governance and the rule of law, boost investment and foster a dynamic business environment.

Looking to do prefinished hardwood in your home, think twice about Bellawood! We are building our dream home here in Virginia, and wanted to do something different for our 1st floor(2000 sq ft). We visited the Lumber Liquidators near us and decided to use the Golden teak in our new home. BAD IDEA! The flooring was delivered 30 days prior to installation. From the first carton the installers (30 years professional and residential experience) noticed that the boards we NOT TRUE. Our site manager also showed us where the finish was not done correctly on the ends and it was chipping after installation. We called L.L. and Bellawood(which are the same) and they promised a 2nd delivery a week later with NO problems. Well, the same problems have not delayed our finished our house for over 2 weeks. The second shipment was equally as bad. Seems that Bellwood exotics are shipped to the USA already milled, thus no quality control. Our new house is within 25-30 minutes from the L.L. store and the Bellawood factory, NO ONE CAME OUT TO SEE THE PROBLEM! Our site manager, the flooring installer and my husband and I all called and requested for someone to come and see the problems, no one showed. All they said was, don't worry we will fix the problem. My husband even sent an email to Tom Sullivan the owner of L.L. & Bellawood, and never received an email responce nor a call. We had to go with other prefinished flooring, because our settlement on our current home would not allow any more delays!
We choose Mullican Flooring, New River Hickory in the Saddle stain, random widths. The cost was only about 10% more. L.L. took the flooring back, but I wonder who they are going to sell it too!

- Bellawood beware
I started installing my Brazilian Chery from Lumber Liquidators and noticed that the ends of the planks were not square! They are refusing to honor the warranty and I'm stuck with the floor. I too am building a new home and am two weeks away from closing. I wonder how many other folks have gotten this premier service from Bellawood?
Just a heads up to any people who are crazy enough to buy Bellawood products. Bellawood (previously Husky Hardwood Floors) had it's small plant in Colonial Heights, VA.I had been in the place several times and witnessed what a sloppy operation they had. It really amazes me that these issues are only starting to surface.
If your interested in finding out what kind of a person Tom Sullivan is, you ought to try asking the many, many companies and individuals who have had to take him to court to only do what he said he would do.
Sometimes I wonder if he changed the name to Bellawood because of all the problems with Husky. And soon I will not be suprised if he changes Bellawood to something else...

The managing director of the Swazi Observer group Alpheous Nxumalo has told his newspaper's readers that he will not allow prodemocracy voices to be published.
This comes at the end of a year when editors at the newspaper, in effect owned by King Mswati III, sub-Saharan Africa's last absolute monarch, were suspended from duty after claims from bosses they had not been following the original mandate of the newspaper.
Nxumalo, writing in the Observer on Friday (11 January 2013), said democracy activists were trying to 'subvert the national institutions such as the monarchy and the government in order to advance the agenda of radicalising the Swazi nation'.
He said that media had been used 'to attack the government and other subordinates institutions with impunities. This has all been done in the name of freedom of press. I submit that media freedom should not be an instrument for subversive manipulation of society.'[view whole blog post ]
