Solar panels installed on White House roofBy JOSH LEDERMAN
The Associated Press | May 11,2014AP photo
Technicians have finished installing solar panels at the White House.WASHINGTON An array of solar panels blanketing the roof of the White House is getting its day in the sun.
Technicians have finished installing the panels at the nations most famous address, capping a project that President Barack Obama hopes will send a clear signal that renewable energy is both feasible and environmentally shrewd.
Citing security and other concerns, the White House wont say how many panels now encase the top of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. or how much they cost. But the panels are expected to generate 6.3 kilowatts of solar power whenever the sun shines, the White House said, improving the buildings energy efficiency.
Obama seeks to use his personal example to spur American families and businesses to do more to reduce reliance on foreign energy and cut emissions blamed for global warming.
Solar panels at the White House are a really important message that solar is here, we are doing it, we can do a lot more, Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said in a video released by the White House.
Facing pressure from environmental groups, Obama announced in 2010 he would retrofit his familys new home with solar panels starting in 2011, then use the power generated to heat water for the first family and provide some electricity. But the project remained dark until late 2013, when the installation finally started.
The project required technicians to first drill down to the concrete on the White House roof, then use epoxy glue and threaded rods to install a gridded subassembly onto which the solar panels could be secured. The solar components, converters and the labor to install the panels were all domestic, the White House said, declining to name any of the companies involved in the project.
Being at the White House, we do have some security concerns. We cant cover the entire roof, although that would be good from an energy savings standpoint, said James Doherty, the White House usher.
For some climate change activists, the years of delay underscored a lack of urgency. Bill McKibben of the environmental group 350.org said the project was symbolically significant, but also depressingly protracted.
At this pace, well solve global warming right about the time that were 30 feet under water, McKibben said in an interview.
Obama isnt the first president to deploy solar at the White House. Jimmy Carter spent $30,000 on a solar water-heating system for West Wing offices in the late 1970s, but his successor, Ronald Reagan, tossed the panels after he moved in. George W. Bushs solar systems powered a maintenance building and some of the mansion, plus provided heated water for the pool.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Many of Americas young adults appear to be in no hurry to move out of their old...

Attorney Laura Austin Thomas honored
Laura Austin Thomas, assistant district attorney and managing attorney for the Payne and Logan counties district attorney's child support divisions, was honored during the Oklahoma Child Support Enforcement Association's annual training conference and awards presentation.
Nominated with five other attorneys from throughout the state, she was named the 2013 attorney of the year by the association's board.
She was recognized as an advocate for child support program throughout the state.
Her expertise in running high-performing child support offices has resulted in her being called upon as a consultant to multiple other child support offices that have struggled in performance.
Oklahoma Child Support Services is an agency of the state Department of Human Services.
Thomas became a prosecutor with the Logan County criminal division in 1987.
She took the management reins of the Payne/Logan Child Support Division in Stillwater in 1993, and opened a Logan County office in Guthrie in 1998.
"I did not know I had been nominated until the conference began," Thomas said.
"It means a great deal to me, and I'm honored to have been chosen. I don't do this work alone, no one can. There are 13 bright, hardworking and incredibly dedicated individuals working with me in our offices that believe in the mission of this program and have made our offices and me a success and recognized leader in the state."
Tom Lee is the district attorney for Payne and Logan counties.

"Things are going good. I rescheduled my visit to Louisiana Tech, because I couldn't go this weekend because of some family stuff," the athletic linebacker said. "I'll go to Tech the first weekend in February."
As far as his soft verbal commitment to the Green Wave, Cheta had some encouraging news, "I talked with the Tulane coaches today and told them that I'm going to visit Tulane this weekend."
"The thing is," he continued, "the coach that recruited me, Coach Zo, left for a job with UAB. I didn't know until today. I spoke with the new guy today and he seemed real cool."
"Right now, it looks like Houston and Texas Tech will be unofficial visits. I'm not sure about TCU. I heard from UCLA about 3 weeks ago but not since. I'm hoping they get back and work out a date for a visit. That would be my final visit."
"You know, If I go to Tulane and they show me a good time I may go ahead and commit and cancel the other visits. I'm just looking for the right place and the right fit," Cheta finished.

Perky brunette actress whose slightly bumbling cheerleader charm evokes a combination of Debbie Reynolds and Sally Field. Among Valentine's earliest TV credits was, in fact, "Gidget Grows Up" (1969), in which she played Field's former role. The same year, Valentine won an Emmy for her best-remembered part, that of student teacher Alice Johnson, forever getting caught in the schoolbus doors in the popular comedy-drama "Room 222" (ABC, 1969-74). The 70s were Valentine's busiest period: she was a regular on the Dinah Shore-hosted chat show "Dinah's Place" and starred in her own sitcom, "Karen".

Not sure if these are wind breakers or rain jackets or both, and also whether they are support to be heavy or light with extra layers below. Same applies to gloves. Thanks a bunch.

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Joe Pernice / August 7, 2009 / New York (Bowery Ballroom)
Joe Pernice was delivering a lovely rendition of "Chevy Van" when he suddenly cracked up like a school kid trying to suppress a laugh in class.
"Sorry," he said with a grin. "It's just too fucking creepy. I've never done this before, but I really implore you: listen to this last verse."
Pernice recovered and finished the song, recounting the end of a one-night stand in "a town that was so small/you could throw a rock from end to end," imbuing it with more pathos than the original 1975 hit by Sammy Johns.
Pernice's jokey aside was one of many he delivered during his performance Friday (August 7) at the Bowery Ballroom in New York. The Pernice Brothers frontman is on the road promoting his first novel "It Feels So Good When I Stop" (Riverhead Books) and an accompanying "soundtrack" of the same name featuring some of the songs that are mentioned in the book.
During his 90-minute set, Pernice sat alone on stage with a bottle of Corona, an acoustic guitar and a copy of his book. What could have been an awkward sales pitch by a recording artist for his written product turned out to be an entertaining evening of evocative, often hilarious, prose and great tunes, with Pernice reading extended passages from his novel and playing selections from the soundtrack and his own song catalog.
The unnamed protagonist of the book is a struggling musician who's just walked away from a day-old marriage, providing ample opportunities for knowing riffs on popular music. "Everything I knew about how fucked up the music business was came from a story about Fugazi I'd skimmed in Magnet," Pernice read at one point, drawing appreciative laughs from the audience.
After knocking out a cover of Sebadoh's "Soul and Fire," he described the time he wrote the band's frontman Lou Barlow for his blessing to include him as a character in "It Feels So Good When I Stop."
"He wrote back to me and said, 'Thanks for asking, I appreciate that,'' Pernice recalled, noting that Barlow magnanimously added, "you can turn me into a dick if it's more appropriate.'"
Pernice clearly had fun name-checking songs in his book, performing -- and expressing unabashed fandom for -- Plush's "Found A Little Baby" ("perhaps my favorite song from the whole decade of the 90s"), the Del Shannon-penned Peter & Gordon hit "I Go To Pieces" ("it's a hard song to fuck up 'cause it's so good") and even "Chim Chim Cheree" from "Mary Poppins," which was edited out of the book but stayed on the soundtrack ("I've always loved Dick Van Dyke and I think he's a genius and I'll meet anyone out back who says otherwise").
As fun as all of this was, most of the audience had come to hear Pernice perform his own material. He didn't disappoint, devoting the second half of his performance to a mini-set of self-penned compositions, and providing a vivid reminder, if any were needed, that Pernice has few peers among his songwriting contemporaries.
With just his acoustic guitar for accompaniment, Pernice performed exquisite renditions of oft-overlooked entries in his oeuvre, including "Pisshole in the Snow," "Up in Michigan" and the haunting "Prince Valium."
That last number includes the line, "So help me Lord, get me stoned again," which Pernice says prompted his devoutly Catholic mom to declare, "You take the Lord's name in vain, it's not going to be a hit."
After closing the set with the lullaby-like "Two Of You Sleep," Pernice returned to the stage for a final reading and then a cover of Tom T. Hall's "That's How I Got to Memphis."
"Has anyone ever seen someone read for an encore?" he asked sheepishly. "I'll speed-read so I don't put you to sleep."
He needn't have worried.
Here is Joe Pernice's setlist:
"Tell Me When It's Over"
"I'm Your Puppet"
"Found a Little Baby"
"Chim Chim Cheree"
"I Go to Pieces"
"Chevy Van"
"Soul and Fire"
"Pisshole in the Snow"
"How Can I Compare"
"Amazing Glow"
"Bum Leg"
"Up in Michigan"
"Prince Valium"
"Two of You Sleep"
"That's How I Got to Memphis"

Level 3 Communications has announced plans to buy fellow carrier Global Crossing in a stock deal worth about $1.9 billion that the companies say will bolster their enterprise service offerings.
The union of Broomfield, Colo.-based Level 3 and Bahama-based Global Crossing will create a carrier with combined revenue of about $6.26 billion and marks the second giant telecom merger to be announced in the past few weeks, with the proposed AT&T and T-Mobile deal announced in March. Level 3 will assume some $1.1 billion in debt as part of the agreement.
MERGERS: Top tech M&A deals of 2011
The carriers between them own networks in 50 countries that reach to 70 countries. They've also been piling up big losses. Level 3 has reported quarterly losses for 2 straight years, and finished 2010 with a $622 million on revenue that declined from $3.76 billion to $3.65 billion. Global Crossing lost $170 million last year on revenue that climbed from $2.54 billion to $2.61 billion.
In making the announcement, Level 3 emphasized that Global Crossing will boost its enterprise service portfolio with managed services (including WAN optimization) and VPN offerings.
Late last year Global Crossing bought out a company called Genesis Networks to expand its IP video network capabilities.
Industry watchers have been urging Level 3 to buy Global Crossing for years, and rumors had been heating up again recently that a deal would happen.

Snivy063, there are a few original TMs I can think of off the top of my head that I don't like. First, there's Fissure and Horn Drill. OHKO moves rely way too much on luck. For just that reason, they are banned by most competitive rules. Then, there's Teleport. I mean... really? The only purpose it has in battle is to run from wild battles. It does nothing in trainer battles. And then Metronome. Again, it relies on luck.

I'm fairly sure that if you didn't directly hack in
the pokemon itself
, then you could definitely use them online. For example, using AR to make all your pokemon encounters shiny still creates "legit" pokemon that you could use for battling.
The same should apply for events. If you've only used AR to trigger events, then you should be safe... For example, using AR to get the event item Azure Flute. Azure Flute then triggers the event to allow you to acquire a non-hacked Arceus.
You could easily teach yourself if you observe the world closely."

Any USC undergraduate can apply to join our yearlong Team Research program, which gives students the opportunity to combine field and lab experience while earning credit.
The three research options currently offered are:
A maximum of 20 students are admitted every year to this program, which includes:
Application deadline: March 15, 2013
Applications must include a brief resume and a one-page write-up of how participation in the UTR activities will enhance your USC program. Early application is encouraged. If you have questions about the program or are interested in applying please contact:
Prof. Scott Paterson
UTR Faculty Advisor
All USC undergraduate students are eligible: no experience in geology is required, although an Earth Science GE course is useful background. The program covers all non-tuition overload costs. Each option is a multidisciplinary, learner-centered, student research experience occurring largely outside the classroom. You will work at various scales of research ranging from individual to team based, while being mentored by a number of domestic and international scientists.
In addition to the 2 units of field research, each student must enroll in GEOL 385 (a Fall semester, 2-unit class that introduces you to many different aspects of scientific research and allows all UTR students to share your data and experiences) and participate in lab research in both Fall and Spring semesters (2 units each semester), culminating in presentation of research at both the USC undergraduate research symposium and possibly at a meeting of a national professional society or publication of an article in a refereed journal.
If you would like to sign up for a course or consider a major or minor in the Earth Sciences we encourage you to talk to Cindy Waite (email@example.com) or Doug Hammond (email@example.com).

In the changing scenario of banking in India, there is a high growth potential observed in this promising sector for all levels of academics and multiple verticals of education. While Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) is acting as an apex authority for competent selection of candidates for majority of public sector banks (except SBI) the IBPS Common Written Examination (CWE) has gained enough importance in recent years as far as banking sector recruitment is concerned. In the year 2012 alone more than 20000 posts has been advertised through various banking institutions, who have maintained a mandatory criteria for IBPS Scores. The upcoming year of 2013 is also expected to except similar or more vacancies which will be demanding IBPS as a standard of selection for competent banking positions, in both Managerial as well as Clerical cadre.
Its known to everyone that the validity of the IBPS CWE Score cards for Clerical recruitment, which was held in November/ December 2011 is expiring by February 2013. As an invariable criteria for all public sector banks (except SBI), the next batch of IBPC CWE for Clerks-II is expected to take place during December this year (i.e.2012). With certain change in examination pattern and expansion of its girth of service, IBPS CWE for Clerks-II is going to be of much more importance than its counterparts conducted earlier this year and before.
Important Dates:
IBPS CWE For Clerical Cadre December 2012 – Important Dates
IBPS CWE For Clerk December 2012 Notification – Eligibility Criteria
New Addition to IBPS CWE Admirers:
List of Participating Bank In IBPS Clerk CWE December 2012 – IDBI Joins The List
From this year onwards, IDBI bank has mandated IBPS in line with other 19 public sector banks to adopt its testing scores for recruitment of its clerical cadre as well as managerial positions. With this new addition, the number of Public Sector Banks accepting IBPS Score has reached to a total number of twenty (20).
New Mode of Examination:
IBPS CWE For Clerk December 2012 – ONLINE Examination

This is the manner in which the candidates will be finally selected and they have a door open for a prospective banking career.

The K1300S doesn't need to cover as many bases as the R model to succeed in the market it's intended for. Competition in the hypertourer league is limited to the Suzuki Hayabusa and the Kawasaki ZZR1400, both of which have a long line of evolution, sales success and loyal followers. The new K1300S is more than up to the job of competing with them.
The S model forms the basis for the R incarnation. It has the same 1293cc liquid-cooled inline four, but for some reason you get an extra two horses, pushing peak power to an extremely healthy 175bhp. As with the R you have the option of having the quickshifter, the ASC, ESA, the heated grips and the 2D WSB spec instrument panel. Basically, this bike comes with everything you need to make smashing high mileage at high speed as easy as possible.
Looks-wise, the S is more reserved than the competition, some might even say it's bland. I wouldn't argue. But at the same time, if looks are at the top of your list then you should probably just stop reading this and skip to Niall's R1 review instead.
BMW have worked hard with mass centralisation principles to make the bike's not inconsiderable 254KG (with fuel) seem like a manageable weight. By tilting the engine forward slightly and fitting a dry-sump oil supply BMW have been able to make the engine sit around six cm lower than a conventional unit. Combine this with a cassette-type gearbox that makes changing ratios easier and is lower in weight than a conventional gearbox and you've got a power unit that is as low and light as possible.

To figure out bioactive levels of BPA in the body—in other words, the form of BPA that could pose a risk if present in high enough levels—researchers fed study participants meals of canned food and then tested their blood and urine over a 24-hour period. The bioactive form of BPA was so low it was undetectable in 83 percent of the people tested.
So is it safe to say we should all start eating out of BPA-lined metals cans and plastic water bottles again? Not so fast. Environmental health experts say there are major flaws in this study, noting that dozens of previous studies find reasons for concern when it comes to BPA risks.
For starters, explains Laura Vandenberg, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow of biology at the Center for Developmental and Regenerative Biology at Tufts University in Massachusetts, the study researchers never tested BPA levels in the food given to the participants, despite calling those meals high BPA exposure sources (numerous studies have found that the levels of BPA in canned foods can vary depending on the type of food). Beyond that, the scientists didn't indicate the brand of canned food used. Previous research has shown that some manufacturers' cans have much higher levels of BPA than others', even when they contain the same food. "Green beans from manufacturer X could have a lot of BPA, while green beans from manufacturer Y could have very little."
Vandenberg also takes issue with what researchers were feeding study participants. A significant portion of the meals was made up of canned fruit, which tends to absorb much less BPA from cans because fruit cans aren't entirely coated with BPA, unlike cans used for vegetables and meat, Vandenberg explains. "They sort of ignored that as a basis when they chose what to feed people," she adds.
Other BPA Exposure Sources Ignored
The participants in this study were in a controlled setting, not the same as the real world, where BPA has been detected in the air, water, and even sand. "Their results suggest, in fact, that food is not a major source of human exposures, or at least not the foods they provided," says Vandenberg. "This argues once again that the 'other' sources of BPA, including cash register receipts, other papers, epoxy resins in pipes, air, dust, etcetera, are likely to be significant."
Additionally, Vandenberg says scientists still are not certain that all of the effects of the active form of BPA, including obesity, altered behaviors, infertility, and altered brain development, are due to BPA's estrogenic properties. "To call BPA metabolites harmless is to speak before the data is available," she says. "Those studies simply haven't been done."
The bottom line? The evidence is still strongly stacked against BPA. Keep it out of your system, here's how:
• Avoid canned food.
• Decline unnecessary receipts.
• Steer clear of No. 7 or unlabeled plastics—some contain BPA. In fact, a study published earlier this year found that all plastics, even those labeled "BPA free" leached chemicals that exhibited even greater estrogenic activity than BPA.

Hello friends, some problem is occurring in my computer that I control to find a Trojan which get over my administrator rights. In case of that I am not able to open Firefox or any of my anti-virus/spyware programs. I want to fix this problem; so to fix this problem I started my computer in safe mode and ran malware bytes from a Universal Serial Bus (Usb) drive. In that case it returned three impure files which I then removed from the universal serial bus.
And the Next thing I did is that, I ran Anti Virus Grisoft (avg) to see whether I have removed everything and the search result I got is 0 finding. I thought that there is no problem so logged back again in the original account, and now I am not able to open Firefox and my anti-virus programs is also not opening again. Now I am not sure but I just want to make sure that I actually removed the problem or not and that it the problem is not just hiding in the background somewhere. Thanks in advance for helping me and giving me your precious time.

The Adobe Muse CC February 2016 release brings in several exciting new features, including free-form responsive design and integration with Creative Cloud Libraries. Continue reading for more information about new features, and links that offer more learning resources.
New in Adobe Muse CC 2015.1 | February 2016
You can now create unique, responsive websites for different screen sizes without any coding. Adobe Muse provides a blank canvas without restrictive templates or grids for designing responsive websites.
In the earlier versions of Adobe Muse, you could only create adaptive sites. That is, websites that adapted to the browser widths of different devices. The page and the page elements were not fluid, or did not scale for each browser width. The page layout was fixed for specific browser widths.
With responsive web design in Adobe Muse, you can create use a single Muse file to create different layouts for different browser widths. The pages are fluid. That is, they scale in proportion to the browser width. So, you do not have to create and maintain separate pages for mobiles, tablets, and desktops anymore.
If you are new to designing or prefer to get a jump-start with your design, you can use the starter templates for responsive websites. If you prefer to start off with a blank canvas, you can do so by creating a site with a fluid layout. Want to convert your existing websites to responsive layout? Yes, Muse lets you do that as well.
To know how to create and update responsive sites, see Creating responsive sites in Adobe Muse. You may also want to watch a video tutorial on creating a responsive site in Adobe Muse.
Get a jump-start to your design with responsive starter templates. Adobe Muse offers customizable, responsive starter files that you can access from the Adobe Muse website. Choose an appropriate template, open it, and add content to suit your requirement. If required, add new breakpoints or edit the default breakpoints. Customize the design and publish your responsive website with a few clicks.
For more information on responsive designs in Adobe Muse, see Using responsive starter templates.
New in Adobe Muse CC 2015.1 | February 2016
Creative Cloud Libraries, powered by Adobe CreativeSync technology, enable you to access your favorite assets from home, office, or even when you're on-the-go. Create images, colors and more using Photoshop, Illustrator, or mobile apps like Adobe Capture CC. Access these assets across other desktop and mobile apps for a seamless creative workflow.
Creative Cloud integration in Adobe Muse allows you to create your own assets and share these assets with other Creative Cloud users across the globe. You can also access, import, and use all the assets that are available through the Creative Cloud Libraries. Use the CC Libraries Panel (Windows > CC Libraries) to access Creative Cloud Libraries from Adobe Muse.
You can now access Creative Cloud Charts through the Creative Cloud Libraries. Creative Cloud Charts enable you to create charts and insert them in Adobe Muse as linked assets. This means that your charts in Adobe Muse are auto-updated every time the data in the chart changes.
For more information on using Creative Cloud Libraries in Adobe Muse, see Creative Cloud Libraries in Adobe Muse.
To see a video tutorial on Creative Cloud Libraries, click this link.
New in Adobe Muse CC 2015.1 | February 2016
You can make your design more interesting and engaging by applying transitions to different elements on your web page. You can also set the delay, duration, and timing options for each state transition, in each element.
Select a menu or button for which you want to set the transition state. Choose Window > State. When you click the Normal, Active, or Rollover states from the Menu Item on the top panel, you can see the Transition options.
State transition in a published site depends on the browser's ability to support W3C specification for CSS3 transitions.
To easily implement state transitions in your site, watch this video.
New in Adobe Muse CC 2015.1 | February 2016
Adobe Muse 2015.1 allows you to import SVG files into an image frame, crop the image, and apply fill and stroke. If there are no frames, you can now import an SVG file directly, create a frame, and then crop the image. You can also add SVG images to slideshows. These SVG graphic improvements give you additional flexibility while designing slideshows.
Learn more on SVG enhancements by watching this video tutorial.
Enhanced in Adobe Muse CC 2015.1 | February 2016
In the Swatches panel, you can now import and export Swatch libraries through the Context menu.
Adobe Muse 2015.1 supports rotation detection in Exif content. Images that have rotation information embedded in them, will now be rotated to landscape when placed.
You can now create empty image frames by deleting the image content of an existing image frame. Double-click an image you have placed, and press Delete. The empty image frames will have placeholders.

The new year is often a good time to reflect on the good and bad things that have happened in the past year.
For staffing firm Robert Half, that means looking back on 12 months of bizarre interviews and the worst mistakes job candidates made.
Here are the highlights from the most extreme interview antics from 2013, which the company shared with Business Insider :Not knowing how to answer a cliche interview question
When asked "Why should I hire you?" executives received the following replies:
"Because I'm a rock star."
"Because I'm related to Dick Clark."
"Because I have three kids."
One candidate answered: "Don't like crowds ... not friendly ... don't like clicks. I say what I mean and mean what I say. Many times I'm misunderstood. Too trusting and sometimes naive when it comes to new relationships. Sometimes a curse slips out when my buttons are pushed."Reeking of cigarettes
Despite being told that there's a no-scent policy, one candidate "smoked incessantly" in her car prior to an interview.Asking really inappropriate questions
At the end of a job interview, the interviewer will usually ask the candidate if they have any questions. Below are the most bizarre answers compiled from 650 HR managers at companies in the U.S. and Canada with at least 20 employees.
"Do I have to be at work every day?"
"Would you consider going on a date with me?"
"Do you want to take a ride in my new car?"
"What color is the paint in this office?"
"Can my husband finish this test for me?"
"Is the boss single?"
"Do you allow midday naps?"
"How soon can I take my first vacation?"
"How much time do I have to put in?"

On a recent upgrade we had some problems caused by our old theme files which Amasty fixed extremely quickly.
again Hats off to the team.
The extension is good for navigation: you can create numerous types of navigation to make it good for customers. I absolutely love flexible price sliders and multi select option for filters!
This extension is also great for SEO: you can't expect that any CMS (and Magento in partucular) will be happy to make your life easier by adding simple canonicals, meta-robots and the like features. So you always need something else. This Layered Navigation is my "something else" for controlling site indexing by Google.
What else? For anyone looking for an extension to help with SEO, Navigation and many other thing, this one is worth a try.
The app works well, nothing to pick at.
I personally wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again.
The extension works very well and I was able to setup very easily a navigation page with top selectors and others in the left coloumn.
I had a small issue because I use a custom theme and contacted the support.
Support was very good, they solved the issue very quickly (within 1 day) and I was very happy for the support.
Very suggested.
And finally here it is! Great extension with lots of filtering/searching options. It truly gives customers great shopping experience.
Useful extension and top-notch support!
The problem normally is, that adding filter attributes to your categories, the canonical URL's get screwed up when you use an filter. This extension rewrites the filter attribute and keeps the top level canonical intact. In this way, less duplicated content alarms are set off by Google for example.
Had a question and problem about implementing this plugin in a clothing store, was solved almost immediately.
I've implemented and build lots of Magento stores and encountered numerous extension developers, and Amasty is still the most professional company so far.
Amasty's developers worked on that function until they could send me an update which increased the speed 20-fold. It works very smooth now.
I am really excited by Amasty's support quality.
Good quick and helpful support so I strongly recommend company Amasty! They solved my problem very quick so their services really nice.
Thanks Amasty,
Thanks Alexander
The Extension is really good and working fine on websites. The thing is that it is a bit hard to integrate and configure it on the site.

Thank you somuch for the support!!!
Last the support was helpfull and responds within 1/2 days.

Renaud Devaliere,
Project manager
10/10. Excellent extension, and excellent support. Sometimes it's so great that I feel like I'm their only customer.
I recommend this extension - shop is running much better. Layered Navigation makes sense only with this extension. Good job, and thanks for your help. (I use this more than a year)
Even better than the extension itself is the support - first class, fast and helpful. Highly recommended!
Simon Brandon,
I have tried many extensions, from different developers, and yours are by far the most reliable, and your support also is very good.
Angelica Kolody Mammana,
We are glad that reviews are available so we can provide an honest, transparent customer review that directly relate to the quality support we received from the Amasty team.
They come highly recommended, and we're excited to vouch for their stability in providing you the same service we speak about.
Rock on.
Flank Marketing,
That's why the timely, helpful, fast-results assistance from Amasty really shocked me. I had not expected anyone to really make the effort to deal with my issue, much less get it accomplished the first time around. And each time I've come back to them they've been incredibly amiable and have given me results each time.
No only is this product amazing (I have SO MANY new capabilities with my navigation and the ability to add color images is really neat!), but it does just what it's advertised to do without any extra work on your part, and that's really a blessing these days. I especially make use of being able to make my attribute options double columns and turning my color options into small thumnails. Clean and professional looking, to say the least.
In a nutshell, I highly recommend this product. Great support for a great product. Very happy and don't regret the cost at all. :)
His team are super quick and responded to my query with professionalism and sorted the matter out within the same day!!!
warm regards
Support through Amasty was great - very friendly, knowledgeable, quick responses.
Excellent all around! Will definitely continue to purchase extensions from Amasty. A+++++

How can anyone not believe in God? Even if you don't believe in
Him as our Lord and Savior, how can you not believe He is the
creator? At least believe that. You can honestly look at yourself,
knowing how complex you body is, and think you were just there from
the beginning, or that some evolutionary phenomena happened? How can
you look at the moon and the stars and the sun and think they just
happened "just because"? How can you wake up every day and not know
it was by the grace of God?

Are any of the following true about white people�s hygiene:
- Do they really sit on public toilets?
- Why, when they are cooking, do they think it is OK to put the spoon
they are cooking with in their mouth and then back into the pot?
- Do they really kiss each other in the morning without brushing
their teeth, like in the movies?
- Do they really just wash their skin with a bar of soap and not a
bar of soap and wash cloth to get rid of died skin?
Please don�t think I�m crazy, but in recent years I have
noticed my white friends have very different hygiene practices than
any other race I have come in contact with.

Hilarious! And no, I don't think you're crazy for asking. I'm white,
and no, I don't sit on public toilets ... I 'hover.' If I'm making
dinner for me and my hubby, I do occasionally taste off the spoon,
then put it back in the pot to stir. But if I'm entertaining guests,
I do no such thing. Gross! In the morning, I smooch my hubby,
closed-mouthed of course, lightly on the lips, but that's it. No one
wants a big wet smooch first thing in the morning. Ick. As far as the
soap, I use soap and a sponge and loofah to wash, and hubby uses soap
and a wash cloth.

My white friends and I first look at the toilet seat to see if
there are any urine splashes. Sometimes we wipe it with wet toilet
paper. Then we sit down. Putting a spoon you have used back in the
stew is frowned upon. My husband washed with only a bar of soap and
his hand. I always use a washcloth. I believe we all wake up with
'morning mouth.' Some brush immediately, some ignore it and kiss.

I am a white teenager and wear 'black' clothing, like Fubu,
Sean John, Phat Farm, School of Hard Knocks, etc. Why do some African
Americans dislike it when I wear these clothes? I might wear a
leather jacket, or a pair of shoes with a special material that might
be seen as 'ghetto,' and I am a little worried about being

Do all Jewish men have to wear those small hats that sit on the
top back part of the head? If yes, what if the person didn't have a
lot of hair? The hats attach to the head by hair clips, so how would
you attach the hats to your head in that case? Or would you not be
required to wear them then?
Robert S., Poole, NA, United Kingdom, <email@example.com>, 26,
Male, Christian, White/Caucasian, Mesg ID 529200222057
The hat you're referring to is called a 'kippah' or 'yarmulke.'
Wearing one is a sign of humility in the presence of G-d. The
decision to wear one is largely shaped by the level of adherence to
the laws of Judaism one practices. I cannot imagine, for example, an
Orthodox Jewish man not wearing one, but having grown up in a Reform
(more liberal) Jewish congregation, I know of many men, including my
father, who do not wear one or who wear one only when in Synagogue.
They don't have to be kept on with clips, but certainly the clips
help. I suppose a bald man who cannot clip it to his hair would
probably use a form of double-stick, toupee-type tape.

An Orthodox Jew will never leave his head uncovered; it's a sign
of respect for God, in whose presence we are at all times. It is
similar to the way Muslims keep their heads covered. A regular hat
will do; the little beanies you see these days are something of a
modern innovation, for indoor wear. They will stay on a bald head,
although not very well. Observant Jewish married women cover their
heads, too, but that's a matter of modesty.

I am a white woman and have never had a black friend. There is a
black woman at work with whom I would like to become better
acquainted, yet I know she has too much going on at home and at work
right now to find time for me. I wrote her an e-mail in which I
mentioned that I would contact her later on this summer to see if
she'd like to get together. Besides trying to understand what my
white privilege will bring into the dynamics of this relationship I'm
hoping to form, is there anything else of which I should be

I would strongly recommend that you read, Bridging The Gap Between
Black Women & White Women: Divided Sisters by Midge Wilson
and Kathy Russell. This book will not tell you everything there is to
know about black women. However, I believe it will provide you a
strong foundation that will lead to insight about black women and the
relationship we as black women have had with the dominant group,
specifically white women. I applaud your efforts and hope you are
able to forge a relationship that extends itself to something beyond
black and white.

I think you should approach a friendship with the African-American
woman as you would with any woman. Take the time to get to know her.
If you have questions, ask. Try to be honest when she asks you
questions that may be uncomfortable. I work with three white women
and have formed a friendship with one because we think alike and
share a lot in common. This woman may be black, but give her more
credit for being a good person and someone you find interesting.
Michelle, Cleveland, OH, United States, 27, Female, Catholic,
Black and Filipino, Straight, library clerk, 4 Years of College,
Lower middle class, Mesg ID 614200291905
As far as I know, friendship has never been based on color lines.
It has always been just a matter of what type of person you are and
what type of person you care to hang around. I am a black female, and
the majority of my friends are also black. However, it is not because
I chose to mostly have black friends; it was a matter of who I like
and who likes me. I think it is good that you may want to go beyond
your usual social circle, but don't go looking for a black person to
befriend just to say you had/have a black friend, or as an experiment
to find out what it is like to have a black friend. Another note on
interracial friendships: there are to my knowledge no privileges or
restrictions that being a certain race bring (well, not outside of
certain things you can't say, like when associating with black
people, 'nigger' is definitely not a word that should come out of
your mouth). Anything that comes out of a friendship should be

Whew! I don't know where to begin! I must assume you are sincere
but your whole approach troubles me. Did you just decide that you
wanted a black friend and chose this woman? Do you have any common
interests? Do you have mutual friends? Have you picked up on any
signals from her that she would be interested in getting to know you
better? Friendship must be mutual, and your posting seems one-sided.
Regardless of race, it seems to me that writing someone an e-mail
saying that you will contact them later in the summer is a strange
way to make friends. I have friends of many races, and I believe true
friendships operate on a personal level rather than on a
group-to-group level. What you would need to know is how to relate to
that specific person. The way you find that out is by talking to her
about mutual interests. For example, do you both garden? Read books?
Go to movies? Because you both work at the same place, there should
be some common ground.
Ramonna, Minneapolis, MN, United States, Female, Episcopalian,
Black/African American, Over 4 Years of College, Upper middle class,
Mesg ID 617200290318
Why are you even worrying about it? Obviously you have things in
common, so why is race a factor for you? Your underlying concerns
might even put strain on the friendship. There is no such thing as
'white privilege' anymore. If anything, it's 'black privilege.' You
just have to look at 'affirmative action' and all the scholarships,
awards and orginizations that blacks have to see that white privilege
is no more.
Mari, Philadelphia, PA, United States, 28, Female, Methodist,
White/Caucasian, Straight, 4 Years of College, Middle class, Mesg ID
What do you mean by 'white privilege'? She has privileges, too.
She's an American woman. You two may share more than you think. Maybe
she'd like a new friend as much as you would.

What are some things African Americans think white people could

Bonnie F., South Florida, FL, United States, Female, Protestant,
White/Caucasian, Straight, Over 4 Years of College, Middle class,
Mesg ID 612200222225
White people just need to generally have an open mind and see people
for who they are. I have noticed that the more enlightened the white
person is, the easier it is for them to acquaint themselves with
people from other ethnic groups, because they are more emancipated,
broad-minded and intellectual.
Chelsea, Los Angeles, CA, United States, 29, Female, Pentecostal,
Black/African American, Over 4 Years of College, Mesg ID
Your question is so very much appreciated. It's one I seldom hear.
The answer is very simple: Recognize that African-American people are
just that - people, too. Just as we are seldom inclined to lump all
Caucasians into one group - sharing all tastes, interests, strengths,
weaknesses and personal attributes - we should try to be aware
whenever we are doing just that when referring to African Americans.
We all come into this world as individuals; though we might share a
similar skin shade or similar history, each of us have different
perspectives on life, different values, interests, social and
financial statuses and ambitions. When you come into contact with an
African American, try to make your mind a 'tabla rasa' - a blank
slate. Forget whatever stereotypes you've learned and explore the
individual standing in front of you. Find out what he or she likes
and dislikes, and what his or her history and perspectives are. If
they appear different from yours, find out why the person sees things
differently from you. Only if we begin to learn authentically about
one another can we begin to minimize the destructiveness we all
experience in our society as a result of stereotypes.

I'd say all things begin with education. I'd first begin with
re-learning history to include viewpoints from multiple races and
ethnicities. The way many Americans are educated now excludes
different experiences and views. This blinds people from seeing the
way racism along with other forms of discrimination has been deeply
institutionalized in our society. Learning this will help you see and
get a better understanding of racism. Second, I would say re-evaluate
your current situation. Are things truly equal around you? Talk to
people and try to understand how other people see things. Third, do
the best you can to spread what you learn to others. Finally, for
today, don't be afraid to talk about racism. It's not Fight Club,
it's OK to talk about it.
Marc M., State College, PA, United States, 24, Male, Black/African
American, Over 4 Years of College, Mesg ID 625200265223
First, whites can start by treating us as if we're equals. Hear
our concerns and see them as more than racial issues. Know that they
are human issues. Try and understand that the things we want are the
same things you want. Nothing extravagant - just to be treated with
respect and dignity.

Does anyone know where the statement 'White people smell like
bologna' originated? I know it is similar to the title of the book
Why Do White People Smell Like Wet Dogs When They Come Out of The
Rain, but why bologna? A recent beer commercial makes reference
to it.

I don't know the name of it, but there was a movie in the late '90s
that was a fairly big release. Marlon Wayans' character was getting
interrogated by the police, and he broke out with that line. I
laughed my ass off for days.

Come to think of it, I've noticed that (being white myself). White
people do have a 'lunchmeat' smell to their body odor when they
haven't bathed or are sweating heavily. When I'm in the gym with
black friends, the difference in smell is noticeable.

I have a friend whom I've known for more than three years.
Recently, a mutual friend, who met her in drama and has known her for
about six months, mentioned in a casual conversation that our friend
is a lesbian. She has apparently had several girlfriends and is part
of a gay-straight club at our school. I don't think I'm homophobic,
but I am wondering why she would keep this from me and tell so many
others (apparently everyone in drama)? And should I say anything to
Nicole, Northville, MI, United States, 15, Female, Straight, Mesg ID
Why would you want to say anything? Have you made the decision to
'come out' to her as 'straight'? What would you say to her? If she
feels the need to share that part of her life with you, I'm sure she
will. Perhaps she is afraid it will negatively affect your
relationship. If you really want her to tell you, join the club she
belongs to to illustrate your support of all sexualities. When she
knows you are accepting of who she is, it will be easier for her to
talk openly with you about it.
Jessica K., Huntsville, TX, United States, 22, Female, Agnostic,
White/Caucasian, Bisexual, epileptic, student, 2 Years of College,
Middle class, Mesg ID 613200214131
The only way to know why you were not told is to ask her. Maybe it
just never came up in conversation. Maybe she feels more comfortable
among Drama Club people. I would also not jump to the conclusion that
she told a lot of other people. It is quite possible she told only
one person, and that person told one person, etc. When I was in high
school, if you wanted the whole school to know something, all you had
to do was tell one person and swear them to secrecy. Of course, there
could also be the possibility that it is not true, or she may be
unsure of herself. Another reason to talk to her.
Ramonna, Minneapolis, MN, United States, Female, Episcopalian,
Black/African American, Straight, Over 4 Years of College, Upper

Ever heard of stigma management? I used to wonder why lesbians as
a group were so quiet, almost invisible, until I purposively sought
them out because I faced up to my own sexual orientation (at this
late phase in my life). I have always been heterosexual, been
married, and had a child. It is so difficult to imagine what it is
like to be discriminated against in a heterosexist society if you are
heterosexual yourself. A male gay friend of mine has the 'Don't ask,
don't tell! policy, and it works perfectly for him.
Instead of saying anything to your friend about this, show her
that you are a person who is tolerant and accepting of differences.
That may just do the trick.

Why are Muslims supposed to like bean pies? I'm a Muslim and have
never even seen a one and don't know what it is. No one else I know
has ever heard of them, but I've gotten teased about bean pies often
in college and high school.
Vilas, Islamabad, NA, Pakistan, <firstname.lastname@example.com>, 21,
Female, Muslim, Pakistani/Irish, Straight, Writer, 2 Years of

I used to have a neighbor from India who moved to England to study
when she was a kid. She eats beans, beans, beans. Everything she
cooks has bloody beans inside, and it's thanks to her I think beans
are one of the most disgusting things in the world. I mean, she cooks
like a whiz, and she bakes the best pies, but they have beans inside
- and they're all gross, disgusting, starchy lentil beans that taste
like sawdust. So maybe it's because many people have the perception
that blacks are mostly Muslims, and that some countries like India
include lots of beans in their diet and are full of black people, and
so they're supposedly 'Muslims' (the general ignorant perception of
the masses) so they eat beans.
Yuffie, n/a, NA, n/a, 16, Female, Atheist, Asian, Straight,
Student, Over 4 Years of College, Upper middle class, Mesg ID
Years ago when I lived in Washington, D.C., members of the Nation
of Islam (which is not to say all Muslims) used to sell bean pies on
the sidewalks. I always assumed it was a fund-raising activity and
had no religious (or political, for that matter) significance. At
least none of the men selling the pies tried to convert me to Islam.
That's probably where the idea came from that Muslims like bean pies.
The pies were very good, although I had to be convinced to try one
the first time. To me, they taste kind of like sweet potato pies, but
with a different texture, kind of sweet but not overly sweet.
Definitely something to try, if you have never tasted one. Lately, I
have seen them in a Lebanese deli near my house, but I don't know
whether the owners are Muslim.

What does it mean when an American calls someone a 'French whore'?
How is that different from an American whore?
Julie, Nashville, TN, United States, 22, Female, White/Caucasian,
Straight, 4 Years of College, Lower middle class, Mesg ID
I believe the reference is 'You smell like a French whore.' As I
understand the phrase, it refers to an overindulgence in perfume;
perhaps because France is the home of expensive fragrances, or
because historically the French court used fragrance to hide their
body odor caused by infrequent bathing. 'Whore' would also indicate a
social class, perhaps someone of a lower or working class putting on
airs - in this case literally by liberally applying perfume. The
sexual aspect of whoring is ignored.

Europeans in general are more open about sex, and more accepting
of prostitution as an industry, than Americans. Our 'highly advanced'
country is still obsessed with Puritanism and other moralistic rules
and regulations meant to keep women down. When these same people view
West European culture, such as French culture, they judge the way
France glorifies the female body as being immoral. They also don't
want to admit that the American media glorifies the female body just
as much (but America glorifies the plastic Barbie woman rather than
the real thing) - the same way they don't want to think of
prostitution as an issue in our culture. It's something that happens
'over there.'

I had no idea Americans use the term 'French whores,' but I would
say that after having seen a great variety of both (American and

person, whores over there have more elegance and class than their
American colleagues.

I am a young, attractive multiracial woman, with a light
complexion and ethnic features. I'm thicker than your average white
girl (I have bigger breasts and behind) and get attention from black
and Latin men, but not from white men. Why don't white men talk to
non-white women? Is it that they are intimidated by ethnic women, or
are they just not attracted to us?

It's easy to generalize about ALL white men. Some men don't date
outside of their race, religion or ethnic background. Some men will
have sex with women outside of their race/ethnic group, but won't
date them or marry them. That tells you something about how they
perceive women of color. But also, some men just aren't aggressive.
Perhaps you can be sociable without seeming like you want a date.
That might allow a man who you might be interested in to get to know
