Search Engine Optimization
Gravity Internet Marketing, based in sunny San Diego, offers expert, results-oriented search engine optimization (SEO) management and consulting services. SEO is how we started and it's still at the core of our business. We've served many happy clients and helped them achieve their web marketing goals.
Why choose Gravity? It's pretty simple…
Experience – We've been doing this for almost a decade
Results – Proven & solid track record of REAL results
Though not easy to distill all of the necessary components that go into proper SEO, the following are the primary elements of our methodology (wordy explanations below):
+ Understand the client
+ Initial site audit
+ Keyword research
+ Optimization
+ Content development
+ Content Marketing
+ Analytics
Understand the client
Search engine optimization, like any marketing plan, needs to be tailored to the specific objectives of each client. For that we need to understand your business and how SEO fits into your objectives. We need to understand your products or services, your competitors, your clients and much more – the more integrated we are the better.
Initial site audit
Next we need to get to know your website and find out what we're working with. We run a series of diagnostics on your site to reveal any technical issues that might limit performance. The site audit also allows us to capture a variety of critical metrics that helps to set a baseline from which to measure performance improvements.
Keyword research
SEO is a world of words, so it goes to show that keyword research would be at its heart. And, diligence at this level will pay off in the end. Keyword research reveals the exact words people use when searching online. We work to uncover every possible permutation of the keywords relative to your industry.
Optimization & Content development
Keyword research drives the next two elements of SEO, optimization and content development. We use our research findings to optimize each page of your site. This includes title tags, meta tag descriptions and on-page content. If you think of search engines as a highly-advanced data retrieval system (which they are), optimization and good SEO content simply makes it easier for the search engines to understand the themes of your web pages, so they can be more readily retrieved in search.
Link development
Link development, in the traditional sense, has been severely restrained. Google has very effectively removed/neutered most of the techniques. Unfortunately, The importance of getting links has not gone away. The most viable, safe and effective method now is content marketing, which done right, will deliver new backlinks. Content marketing also helps with increasing traffic and brand exposure.
Analytics provide critical insights and data about your website, from basic traffic data to more advanced metrics like AOV, ROI, ROAS, and almost everything in between. In short, analytics are a must for any online business and we'll help set you up.

Discussion in 'Star Trek - Original Series' started by Captain Tracy, Jan 16, 2012.
My vote goes to "Shore Leave" when Dr McCoy is "resurrected" by the Planet keepers and comes out of the woods or wherever with a girl on either arm and a big grin on his face!
For the humor?
Yes, sir!
My elementary age son clapped when Kirk materializes in transporter room in Tholian Web. That's a great moment to a boy who's never seen it before.
It is a great gag to be sure, but do suppose some of the merit of the scene comes with the sense of satisfaction - on the good doctors part - for FINALLY getting the girl,.. well, actually more than one girl LOL!
Sort of like getting his just due compensation for all of KIRK's high-jinx he has had to claim witness to,... while sitting on the sidelines?
Yes, I too recall feeling a HUGE emotional response when I first saw the scene,.. and that is with full knowledge that, somehow he is going to live anyway - testament to a great script.
The thing I recall which struck me the most about the episode as a whole was actually feeling the love for KIRK which the actors portrayed so wonderfully,... actually feeling their loss and mourning.
Though it amuses me a bit to have Scott dismiss the crew after only six seconds of standing at attention. After all, it's not like it was a matter of pride!
I have to go with two. The first is in "Amok Time" when Spock sees Kirk alive and the smile lights up his face. It speaks volumes to the depth of the Kirk/Spock. relationship.
The second is in "The Doomsday Machine" when Spock relieves Decker from command. These is such an intense level of vulcan bad-assery when Spock motions for the security guards to come over.
I respectfully submit any Vulcan, particularly a badass one, would have no need of security guards.
But the music where DECKER relieves Spock always freaks me out in a tense way. And you have to admit, the guard Decker knocked out later put up an unusually good fight.
The 'Risk is our Business' speech in 'Return to Tomorrow' it encapsulates not just the show but an attitude for life itself. One can always find reasons to hesitate and good reasons when mistakes can come with great loss and penalty. However, that conservatism which will risk nothing gains little to nothing and seldom grows strong enough or well to face unforeseen difficulty. Risk is hair brained, even fatal, but it has rewards of gaining experience and knowledge making dangers and challenges that come from the unforeseen far more manageable and solvable.
I like all of the above suggestions and find them of merit. I'll add one that most will probably not mention from an episode that's not well-loved, the final moment of "Requiem For Methuselah."
After Kirk's wish to "forget" his recent ordeal, and McCoy's echoing of that sentiment, Spock takes it upon himself to grant his friend's request. It was a moving moment in the series, and one that I will never "forget."
Too True, it is a strikingly kind and caring moment, and quite outside the scope of the typical interplay demonstrated between the characters.
Good one.
I'm so glad you posted this. It's one of my favorites too.
There isn't one single greatest moment, for me anyway. But there are definitely many great moments.
I love that "Risk is our business" speech. It exemplifies so much of what sci-fi has touched on over the years. This is the speech Dr. Rush should have made to the crew aboard Destiny.
Kirk realizing the Horta is intelligent and deserves to be protected.
When Kirk tells the Vians how they've lost compassion, that they're nothing but intellect... and it dawns upon them that he's right.
At the end of "Balance of Terror", when Kirk extends a hand of rescue to the Romulan commander.
In Plato's Stepchildren, when Kirk informs Scotty, "prepare to beam us up. I have a little surprise for you. I'm bringing a visitor aboard." And Alexander beams a big smile.
"The Savage Curtain", when Kirk first welcomes Abraham Lincoln aboard. You can see how taken he is with this incarnation, remarkably realistic.
The end of "Who Mourns for Adonais?". McCoy laments how he wished they hadn't had to do this. And Kirk says "So do I. They gave us so much. The Greek civilisation, much of our culture and philosophy came from a worship of those beings. In a way, they began the Golden Age. Would it have hurt us, I wonder, just to have gathered a few laurel leaves?"
The ending of the Menagerie, Part II... when the Talosians show Kirk how Pike has found his place, and as they wish Kirk well in his journey, he pauses to smile. I could almost see Shatner's hope and promise for what lays ahead in the next season of Star Trek.
Too many chose examples of drama anyway so I went with something different. McCoy has seldom had the last word or a chance to shine above and beyond his friends so I think this shows that the character is just as well-loved as they are and capable of providing some comic relief.
When Scotty socks the Klingon in the bar for calling the Enterprise a "garbage scow".
Yeah, you don't disrespect THE SHIP!
That and the dressing down by Kirk later when he's trying to find out who started the fight. Kirk's reactions to Scotty's explanation are priceless.
It's brilliantly written........though as a ten-year-old back in the day I couldn't understand why the adults around me kept laughing at Scotty's comments. Like every episode of BATMAN, it went straight over my head until years later.
I'm in agreement with those who say Edith's death. It was such a powerful moment, Kirk having to let the woman he had grown to love die to preserve the future.
I have to go with Amok Time that fight scene is the best !!! So dramatic !! Another favourite of mine is Space Seed kirk Spock and McCoy have a debate with khan some classic tension !!!

Ok so just got hte time to update from her scope. They didnt find much. We were hoping to find esophogitis but there was really no sign on it. Her esophogas looks a little red but no obvious sign of it. They took biopsies to make sure (50% of esophogitas is diagnosed through biopsies and cannot be seen by the scope).
He did notice that she had a small hiatal hernia. Hiatal hernia is a condition in which a portion of the stomach protrudes upward into the chest, through an opening in the diaphragm.
He also noticed that the lower esophogus sphintor was very weak and she had obious reflux that could cause an oral aversion because of the pain.
We will be going home tonight with the feeding tube. We will keep it in for 4-6weeks and see how she does. If she still needs the tube then we will have to go to the childrens hospitals (AKA HELL where she got her intestinal surgery) about 4 hours away) to get the G-tube placed. He said he doesnt like to keep the feeding tube in too long because it is irritating to their sinus and can cause sinus infections and even more oral aversion. It also can make them very congested. So needless to say the feeding tube is not a long term thing. Either we get the G-tube or she will start eating. Either way she is getting food and at this point thats all I care about. He is also going to give her a medication for at night to sleep better (sorta like Benadryl for little babies) but I forget the name. (My dh is very excited about that lol). Then we are going to try to give her eritromisin to promote gastric emptying. We've tried to before but she just threw up a lot but who knows it may have just been a coincidence.
Anywho...its been a ride. But like Dawna said I can handle a feeding tube. What I cant handle is seeing my baby starve because she is in pain when eating. We are now waiting for the biospy results (which will take about a week to get back because of the holidays).
Thank you guys for all your love and support! I dont know what I'd do without you guys and this board!!!

Hi everyone!
First post here. So glad I've found this group! My story is a bit long but I'll try to condense it.
I first became really ill back in 2004 at age 22. It was finals week in college and would usually run myself into the ground studying so when I came down with flu-like symptoms, I didn't think much of it.
Long story short, I never really got better. I was bedridden for about 6 weeks, didn't have the strength to shower, would sleep 12+ hours a day yet still be exhausted, hair loss, joint pains, etc, etc.
For years, I was shuffled from dr to dr. Told I had MS, then Fibromyalgia, then Lupus, etc. It was ridiculous. Told I "just needed antidepressants" more times than I care to count
In 2008, I was dx'd with Stage IV Endometriosis and PCOS. Also, gluten and dairy intolerance, so I cut those from my diet. Tons of alternative treatments, surgeries for the endo, and then IVF to TTC. No bueno on any fronts. I pretty much gave up on a dr treating me and was just trying to handle all issues on my own via diet and lifestyle/supplements.
Just recently, I had some bloodwork done. DH's company offers this each year and we took advantage of it this time. Mind you, since 2004, I have had my thyroid checked time and again and was always told it was normal. Well, my TSH came back at 5.6.
So to give you an idea of how TSH has changed. These are just the results I could quickly get my hands on:
June 2011 2.29 {.34-4.82}
Feb 2012 2.48 {.34-4.82}
Nov 2013 5.60 {.34-4.82}
I just had a consult with a new PCP. She's extremely open-minded, not reliant on labs, and just plain AWESOME! Talk about a breath of fresh air. I almost cried I was so relieved she wasn't an idiot.
So this was just my initial visit with her and I took those lab results for her to look at. She went ahead and ordered a full thyroid panel and also testing for antibodies as she said she's almost certain that I have Hashi's. She also ordered Vit D. She was pretty upset about how I'd been dismissed for so many years when something is clearly going on with my body.
Ugh, this is long. Sorry!
Anyone else on the board have Endo and/or PCOS plus Hashi's?
Any suggestions or things I need to ask her at the next appt? I go back in a few weeks for results and to discuss treatment. She already said that even if antibodies were negative, the treatment wouldn't change. I would still need thyroid meds.
Best thyoid med to start with, especially given other autoimmune-like issues going on? Anyone BTDT?
Of course, I'll update labs when I get them back.

Hi all,
Well I'm going abroad over the summer and in my Gap year:
I'm going to 4 cities: New York, Hong Kong, Tokyo and London.
I was wondering what people thought was the coolest City they have been to? Also Out of the 4 I'm going to - which did people prefer?
What is the best City in the World?
|Posted on
Sydney is the best city I've been to. Amsterdam and Basel are nice too.
Out of the ones you are going to, I've only been to New York and London, and I think I liked New York more, but they both rock.
It depends on what you are after.
The best city to party; 1. Amsterdam 2. New York.
The best city for culture, food, arts, city life, (all around) 1. San Francisco. 2. Paris
The most fun Las Vegas
Best city to raise a family is Perth, Australia.
The city where I had an experience I will never forget is Berlin.
Edit: Really 3 negs for for sharing an opinion about my favorite cities? Of all the things I say that deserve a neg (and I say allot) this is the least worthy of a rating of any kind. There really are some shallow ignorant people on this thread. Do you know how when someone cuts you off in traffic and you pull up and look over at them because you want to see what the idiot looks like? I'm really curious who the 3 people who negged me are for the same reason.
San Diego.... LA...San Fransisco....Anything in California really
Although, I think Sydney, Shanghai, Perth and New York are pretty cool too.
I'd say New York or Shanghai out of the cities I've been to.
Berlin was pretty amazing
Helsinki/Copenhagen too! So many beautiful women
Singapore's pretty dope
I guess Singapore or somewhere in Australia.
Durham. The birthplace of Mirin?
I would never have thought this was true, but I've been to london twice in the past few weeks and had a ****ing blast both times, and want to move there now. Saw so much weird stuff going on and basically just walked around smoking spliffs in broad daylight completely unchallenged. Amsterdam is up there too, but the ****ty ****ing buzzkill government they have over there is doing their best to ban all the fun stuff now.
I love visiting London but I doubt I'd want to live there!! Sydney is very nice. (I dont go by "cool" - never have done, and never will!! Different and proud!!)
I can't decide on one, but I have a top 3!
For me, Hong Kong is magical, especially the harbour/Peak. Some say it's like any other glitzy city with lights and noise, but there's something about it that gives it an edge over others - the language, the backstreets, the food!
Tokyo is incredible, another unforgettable experience. It's incredibly busy, especially in the tourist hotspots like Harajuku, Shinjuku and Asakusa. But it's busy in a different way to say, London, where people are knocking into you all the time. When you cross the road, everyone seems to have a personal bubble that gives you a bit of space to breathe. When you go and stand by the Imperial Palace, or in Yoyogi Park, it's bewildering how it's so quiet and serene in the centre of a city home to 13 million people.
Something a little different, but just as enchanting - Reykjavik. Tiny to compared the other two, and for any capital city, it has a different charm. It's main shopping street is small, but leads down to a beautiful opera house and the harbour, which is beautiful- especially at night, when you also have a chance of seeing the Northern Lights, albeit very faintly in the city. Iceland is somewhere I would recommend to absolutely everyone, I came back a month ago and I'm still awestruck.
Sorry this went on a bit, just my two (quite long) cents!
I don't like New York too much. I'm not too sure why - maybe I built it up a bit too much in my mind.
Berlin is probably my favourite city out of those I've visited, although that may change soon as I'm visiting Amsterdam.
I loved Sydney when I visited, really liked the atmosphere in Boston too!
I love London but am a little biased! If you do pop down to Sydney, make sure you give Melbourne a look. It's like Sydney's cooler cousin who doesn't try to hard but is still great. Lots of art and culture there too.
San Francisco
Mexico City
Spoiler:ShowOr perhaps not if you want to stay alive
cities are horrible places. much better to be out in the countryside.

Reinhart, Rogoff and the Spreadsheet Error a Year Later
A year after the Reinhart-Rogoff controversy, we still have good reason to believe that high public debt is a drag on growth.
In March 2013, I published a review of scholarly literature on public debt and growth. It found harmony across institutions and methods: Researchers agreed that high debt was a drag on growth and that there might be a threshold effect such that extra debt was especially harmful when public debt exceeded about 90% of gross domestic product.
The next month, three economists at the University of Massachusetts dropped a bombshell: The best-known paper on the topic, by Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff, had a spreadsheet error. For those who mistrusted the debt-growth link, the typo was a chance to reexamine the evidence.
More In Think Tank
- For Milwaukee Focus Group, Hillary Clinton Doesn't Appeal But Donald Trump Is Too Risky
- Uzbekistan's Islam Karimov, and the Backstage Intrigue When a Dictator Dies
- The ACA Marketplace Problems in Context (and Why They Don't Mean Obamacare Is 'Failing')
- Donald Trump's Telling Two Words on Immigration
- The Zika Undercount and the Virus's Growing Threat to Public Health
But a year after the uproar, very few economists have changed their minds. Although the book by Ms. Reinhart and Mr. Rogoff was the best-known, other, wonkier papers arrived at the same conclusion. Crucially, the other papers claimed to show a causal link between high debt and low growth, not just a correlation. But instead of engaging with, for example, papers by Manmohan S. Kumar and Jaejoon Woo or Stephen G. Cecchetti, M.S. Mohanty and Fabrizio Zampolli, most critics of the debt-growth nexus failed to even acknowledge them.
In other words: Skeptics have still not made a case for abandoning the conclusions of the best research so far on public debt and growth.

SMB Marketing Scenario:
- You've got a message you need to distribute to thousands of potential users of your new product
- It's a tech product, an app or a mobile-aware site that needs techie traffic and commerce
- You know some heavy Twitter users who might love your product
- You've done your #hashtag research and you've identified the BIG influencers on Twitter
Now what do you do?
That depends on who you consult with.
What Twitter Says: "Buy a Promoted Tweet and we'll get you in front of millions of engaged and interested users."
What Facebook Says: "We're the biggest, the most advanced, we can spend your money faster than any other platform. We get results you can track."
What an Online Marketing Agency Says: "We can build an awareness program for you. With Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube combined. We do this integrated marketing stuff all the time. Have you had a look at our Twitter stats? And check our blog, for some interesting case studies."
What an SEO-Marketing Agency Says: "It's all about the numbers. We can get you in the top listings on Google so you don't have to pay for ads. We will optimize and optimize and stay on top of Google's changing processes so you don't have to."
What an Influencer Agency Says: "We'll build a cloud of influencers and encourage them to talk about your product. We can do this on a limited budget, and we have case studies to show how it has worked for our previous customers in [name the type of business you are trying to win as a client]."
What a Social Media Consultant Says: "Here's how I've seen this process work. I don't know if it will work in your specific market, but I can get the supporting data, do a little research, and get back to you with a budget and a timeline for your program."
I've worked, and still work, for several of the types of businesses outlined above. And I can tell you, from several years in the business of manufacturing and selling influence, that it's not a straight TWEETS-TO-ROI proposition. There are tools that can help. There are analytics measurements you can watch. And there are some amazing programs to analyze twitter, facebook, pinterest, and any other social network you want to work with. But the tools won't get you there.
In fact the agency, strategist, and influencer won't get you there. It's not a package deal that I can wrap up in an eBook and sell you. I'd like to get it to such a science, but today, in the blizzard of social media it is hard to know what will work, and harder to come up with unique and innovative ways to engage and capture the imaginations and dollars of your potential customer online.
- They are on mobile devices more than you can imagine. (check your stats)
- Facebook is still king, but Facebook has limited usefulness if you are trying to drive sales of a product or service.
- Search is very important, but what they do after they find your site and land on your page is more important.
- Yes, you do have to spend time understanding and managing every single social media network that you want to influence.
- Make sure your team, strategist, or agency, has some people who actually PARTICIPATE in the conversation. Writing about Twitter ain't the same as building a Twitter following, and growing your Twitter influence. (This goes for Google+, Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube and blogging as well.)
- Gluing all the social processes together is CONTENT. If you don't have good quality stuff to share, you won't be sharing much except HEY LOOK HERE'S A 10% OFF COUPON. And that's not going to grow your influence very far, unless you are Dell Factory Outlet or Living Social.
If there were an easy roadmap to influence and fame, I'd probably be trying to sell it to you right now for $5.99 or in weekly installments for $15.99. [Probably I should package something up like that.]
Rather, I'd like to teach you what I've learned. Give you the ammo to learn and become an influencer, or online marketer yourself. And if you run a small business, I hope I can provide some entry points to getting social media to work for your business.
I've seen programs fail. I've seen HUGE community developments [build it and they will come] remain beautiful ghost towns. And I've hit a few home runs over the years. And the same truths have held true for all of them.
- Work with people who've had experience.
- Try a lot of ideas.
- Test and measure your results.
- Kill what's not working. Exponentially expand what's working. Dial in the numbers for your ROI tracking and reporting.
- Keep adding new ideas and testing them.
- Repeat what works until it no longer works.
All the case studies in the world are not going to get you experience building AdWords campaigns, or wrestling with the Power Builder tool in Facebook. But until you do try some things. Until you see what works and what fails. Until you've tried to answer a client's question, "How is Twitter going to help my dry cleaning business?" you're still getting your feet wet. It's all theoretical until you've tried it.
Even a large-scale campaign, with ten thousand dollars of Google AdWords budget, isn't going to score a victory unless you can CONVERT that ACTIVITY and TRAFFIC into SALES.
Yes, we're all tired of hearing about how to make the case for ROI and SOCIAL MEDIA. But guess what, I still have to make that case every day. I'm doing it here. And you will have to do it too. So get out there, try some things, track everything, and share when you find something that works.
There is enough traffic out there for all of us. Sure we're competing for the same eyeballs and iPhones screens, but I'd bet we'd learn a lot more from each other by sharing than simply gaming each others BID AMOUNT in Google Adwords. Besides, the app/device/service I am interested in promoting is probably not related to yours. If it is, well, we can still share best-practices rather than data.
Most companies are very sacred about their data. That's okay. I understand. But it's just data. It's what we do with that information going forward that counts. Analytics is about what happened in the PAST. We make social media decisions about the FUTURE.

I suppose the goal is to let the program express its real requirements
as opposed to "requirements with hardwired assumptions on the timer
implementation". So seconds and microseconds etc. are fine in some
cases (e.g. playing with hardware, or protocol timeouts, etc.).
But in other cases the periodic scheduling is really an application
requirement and not an artifact of the hardware - e.g. think of
the many
drivers or applications that need to do some periodic polling because
the hardware doesn't really provide a synchronization signal.
In those cases you want to synchronize to what the underlying period
is, rather than hardwire your own estimate in the code.
This is why i suggest having a 'scale' that can represent '1 tick'
(and also don't depend on TIMEOUT_MSEC == 1000 and so on, but keep
them opaque and require that the client code uses one of the supported

A number of papers were recently presented at a meeting of the Société belge de biologie that are deserving of attention. Henseval and Nélis discussed the results of the use on man and animals of Ramon's new vaccine, anatoxin. The rabbit is completely immunized by it. Likewise, vaccinations applied to children have given excellent results. Henseval and Nélis attribute the good results to the fact that in the anatoxin a large quantity of substances termed "toxoids" are found, which are capable of neutralizing antitoxin without presenting the least toxicity. M. De Potter communicated the results of attempts at antidiphtheric vaccination by means of heated toxin. Vaccination is accomplished—though quite slowly—when toxin heated at a temperature of 80 C. for twenty minutes is employed. In toxin heated to this temperature, De Potter was unable to discover any appreciable quantity of toxoids. He inclines to the belief that the antigenic

London's Trilogy Predicts a Sunny Spring
Londoners love to talk about the weather.
Which is a little surprising, given that the conversation seems to always be some version of "It's rather gray today," and "I hear tomorrow will be more of the same."
But when it comes to fashion forecasts, there's no gray expected this spring in the U.K. capital, according to Jade Mirza, web editor for the boutique store Trilogy.
The store, which has four locations in posh parts of London (with a fifth set to open in Wimbledon around February) and could be compared to Intermix in New York, sees fashionistas here sporting skinny jeans in pastel metallics and dusty vintage prints, and flowing Equipment button-down blouses.
For Ms. Mirza, who was decked out in J Brand's jodhpur jeans and a cream blouse, spring is going to be all about soft sorbets, neons and florals (yes, even on jeans), with a sprinkling of animal print and plaids.
She added that one could pair rose-covered jeans with a chunky knit sweater now, before moving into more lightweight tops for spring.
Because, with the continued global warming of fashion seasons, the first of the looks will hit store racks next month.

Can someone recommend me any free tools to edit PDF files for Windows? Can I edit an existing PDF file?
Comments for this Question are closed.
i would like to convert my pdf files please
I have found list of free pdf editing application, Here:
If on a mac PDF Converter Free is quite goos
how about nitro pdf.....it has very useful pdf editing tools...
This one might also be a good, completely free option http://www.pdfforge.org/
You can perform such edits in a PDF easily with PDFEscape.com, an online PDF editor that is free and also lets you edit password-protected PDF documents in the browser.
If your PDF document is mostly text, you may use the desktop version of Stanza to convert that PDF into a Word document. If the document includes images, charts, tables and other complex formatting, try the online PDF to Word converter from BCL Research or the one from NitroPDF – the former offers instant conversion while the latter service can take up to a day though its yields more accurate results.
First there's PDF XChange, a free PDF viewer cum editor that you also may use for typing text directly on any PDF page. PDF XChange also supports image stamps so you may use the tool for signing PDF files or for inserting images anywhere on a PDF page.
Then you have Inkscape, a free vector drawing tool (like Adobe Illustrator) that can natively import and export PDF content
Just remember, a pdf file is really just a "snapshot" of a file. So the best an editor can do is scan the file and try to pull out text and maybe images. You're always going to have to clean up the converted text even before you could edit it.
If you only want to be able to insert, delete or rearrange pages of the pdf, PDF24 is a great and free alternative. en.pdf24.org
How about Scribus?
List of best free pdf editors
OpenOffice Draw with the PDFImport extension http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/pdfimport -->PDFImport extension download link
PDF XChange http://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-viewer
inkscape http://inkscape.org/
you can convert PDF to word then edit and then convert to PDF.

Detox Yoga: Seane Corn on Why You Should Try an Emotional Cleanse
Seane Corn trusts yoga. After all, it was yoga that showed her who she really is.
Somehow she managed to get through 200 hours of teacher training and an entire advanced teacher training without getting in front of the room to actually teach. But for the final exam, everyone had to teach one pose.
"I prayed it wasn't Parsvakonasana (Extended Side Angle Pose), but of course it was," Seane says. She was supposed to teach the pose to the other 11 students using a technique called mirroring, in which you face the class and tell the students to bend to the left while you bend to the right so you mirror their movements.
"It was my worst nightmare," Seane continues. "It was as if someone had reached into my brain and taken out all the words. I started over, and it happened a second time. The third time I choked, my teacher asked if I was nervous. This time I said, 'Can I do something different?'" What Seane did was walk into the middle of the room.
Getting unstuck.
"As soon as I was part of the experience, everything changed. I could feel the energy of the other students coming back to me. That's when I just knew I was going to be a teacher."
No longer held back by fear, Seane continues to teach with confidence and compassion. Known for connecting spirit with the mind-body experience, she trusts the asanas to help students address the issues that keep us stuck, shut down or blocked.
"Every class has three realms: (1) physical-mental, (2) energetic-emotional and (3) psychic-symbolic," Seane says. "All three elements have got to exist. Yoga needs to be motivational — that's the physical aspect — as well as provide meditation and prayer."
That's where the idea for her upcoming DVD, Detox Flow® Yoga, came about. Seane is a big believer in detoxing to improve your health, both physically and emotionally. "It's not about trying to have the perfect body type or losing weight. It's about optimal health.
"My hope is this program helps people experience the richness of body, mind and spirit," Seane says.
It's not what you're eating; it's what's eating you.
Detox Flow Yoga — the first of Gaiam's Master Class yoga DVDs — focuses on addressing habits and beliefs that may be holding you back and replacing them with healthier choices. When you're embodying stress, Seane says, you're going to see the world through that filter. Yoga releases tension, and by relieving that tension you can change the way you perceive the world and meet problems with equanimity.
True wellness, she says, is a manifestation of dealing with difficult emotions. "Rage, grief, jealousy … if these vibrations are unresolved, they manifest as stress. As I say on the DVD, 'It's not what you're eating, but what's eating you.'"
Seane Corn's must-do list of detox yoga poses for a mini cleanse:
Sun Salutations A and B: "There are about 600 lymph nodes in the body, and sun salutes are the best way to increase lymphatic flow."
Prayer Twist: "Puts direct pressure on the intestinal tract."
Bridge: "Stimulates the hypothalamus."
And, "the ultimate!": Shoulder Stand

Once you have provided your details a transfer representative will be booked to meet you at the airport and transfer you to your hotel.
India's capital is an exciting, busy, and often chaotic city but it's also one of the most interesting in the world with historical sites from different eras, museums and galleries, shops and endless bazaars!
There are plenty of things to see and do in free time. Visit the World Heritage-listed Mughal masterpiece of Humayun's Tomb. This was the first garden tomb in India, built way back in 1570. Wonder at the tall brick minaret of Qutub Minar, which was started back in the 1100s. Explore the mighty Red Fort of Delhi. Part palace and part fort, it plays an integral part in the history of the city with former residents ranging from royal families to British soldiers.
Join your group leader on an excursion into the sights and sounds of Old Delhi! Set off on the city's modern metro system, then get a taste of India's famed public transport with a cycle rickshaw ride through chaotic streets, such as the famous Chandni Chowk. Make a visit to the Jama Masjid, Delhi's oldest mosque and one of its most impressive buildings, then visit the Sheeshganj Gurudwara (Sikh Temple) to learn about the Sikh religion.
Accommodation: Jivitesh Hotel or similar (1 nt)
Take one of India's faster air-conditioned trains to the Mughal city of Agra (approx. 3 hours)
Agra is home to one of the world's most recognisable monuments, the Taj Mahal.
Hop on to your motorised rickshaw for a tour of the city - a truly fun and Intrepid way to see the monuments of Agra.
Visit the Taj Mahal - a masterpiece of shimmering white marble set amid beautiful formal gardens. Built by Emperor Shah Jahan as a memorial to his wife Mumtaz, this 'teardrop on the face of eternity' (as it was described by writer Rabindranath Tagore) lives up to all expectations.
Visit Agra Fort on the banks of the Yamuna River. Built in 1565 by Emperor Akbar, the fort was originally designed to be a military structure. It was converted to a palace in Emperor Shah Jahan's time and eventually became his prison after he lost power in 1658.
Accommodation: Howard Plaza Hotel or similar (1 nt)
Leave early on private vehicles to Jaipur. Our first stop is the deserted Mughal kingdom of Fatehpur Sikri (approx 1.5 hrs).
The magnificent deserted Mughal city of Fatehpur Sikri was built by Emperor Akbar in 1569, but was abandoned after 15 years due to the scarcity of water. A highlight of the settlement is Jama Masjid, a striking mosque featuring elements of both Persian and Hindu design. The main entrance of the mosque is the impressive 54-metre high Buland Darwaza, the Gate of Victory, constructed to commemorate Akbar's military victory in Gujarat.
Stop for a traditional thali lunch en route to Jaipur.
A friendly, busy town crammed with palaces and bazaars full of jewellery, textiles and folk-based arts, Jaipur is a firm favourite with travellers.
Take a walk to the city's crowded and colourful bazaars, which sell a wide variety of artisan goods. Semi-precious stones are the local speciality - be sure to wander by the stalls at least once.
Travel out to the old capital of Amber and explore the hilltop fort complex known as the Amber Fort.
Go to Jaipur's Royal City Palace - one of India's finest - and spend time exploring the various rooms and apartments.
Discover the extravagance of a Bollywood blockbuster, with all the Hollywood-style elements of action, romance, drama and music (sometimes all rolled into one), at the spectacular Raj Mandir Cinema.
Visit one of the five astronomical observatories built by Maharaja Jai Singh, the founder of Jaipur.
Accommodation: Hotel Devraj Niwas or similar (2 nts)
Drive from Jaipur to Shekhawati (approx 5 hrs).
A remote town in the centre of the Shekhawati region, Mandawa was a trading outpost for the ancient caravan routes that stopped here from China and the Middle East. Thakur Nawal Singh, the Rajput ruler of Nawalgarh and Mandawa, built a fort to protect this outpost in 1755.
Explore Mandawa's ornate havelis (private residences), some crumbling in decay and some wonderfully restored and preserved, making the town a fascinating outdoor museum.
While in Mandawa we pay a visit to one of our Responsible Travel Projects - Asha Ka Jharna. This wonderful organisation provides services to children and adults with disabilities and the most vulnerable in society. We visit one of their three schools where special and vocational education, guidance and counselling are provided to around 160 children, helping them to become self-dependent rather than their disability causing a burden on their families. We have a chance to meet and chat with some of their teachers to hear about the fantastic work they do in providing opportunities for the children to learn and develop and ultimately become valued members of society.
Accommodation: Desert Resort Hotel or similar (2 nts)
Travel by private bus deeper into the Thar Desert to the fortified town of Bikaner (approx 5 hrs).
Once an important staging post on the great caravan routes, Bikaner still contains many bazaars within its impressive walls, as well as a superb fort and palace.
Travel out to the 600-year-old Karni Mata temple, full of rats considered to be the reincarnation of followers of the Hindu goddess Durga. Locals believe that it's particularly auspicious if one of these holy rats runs over your bare feet - so if you're squeamish, you might have to stay outside!
Visit Junagarh Fort, which was built by Raja Rai Singhji, the sixth ruler of Bikaner (1571 to 1612 AD).
In the evening, travel to a nearby farm and enjoy an evening of traditional Rajasthani food, music and dance.
Accommodation: Karni Bhawan Hotel or similar (1 nt)
Travel along a remote desert road to the yellow sandstone citadel of Jaisalmer (approx 7 hrs).
Looking like a scene from The Thousand and One Nights as it rises from flat desert surrounds, Jaisalmer is a centre for nomadic tribespeople who come to trade in the narrow twisting alleys full of markets and ornately carved houses.
Discover Jaisalmer's narrow twisted alleys, which are full of markets and ornately carved houses.
Visit the Jaisalmer Folklore Museum. Located on the banks of Garsisar Lake in the Mehar Bagh Garden, its wide variety of exhibits offer a great experience for visitors.
Experience one of the main highlights of our adventure on a camel safari (approx. 2.5 hours) out to the pristine sand dunes of the Thar Desert and spend a night camping out under the stars in tents.
Accommodation: Mandir Palace Hotel or similar (2 nts), Camping (1 nt)
Take a ride across the desert to Rajasthan's second-largest city, the busy and chaotic Jodhpur (approx 6 hrs).
Jodhpur is known for its antique shops and the best lassi in India. And yes, it is where those famous trousers come from.
Explore the colossal Mehrangarh Fort and take in the great views from its ramparts, which dominate the city's skyline.
Visit India's last great palace, the Umaid Bhawan Palace, which was constructed between 1929 and 1944. Named after the late Maharaja Umaid Singhji, the palace is still the residence of his successors.
Accommodation: Mandore Guest House or similar (1 nt)
Leaving Jodhpur, travel through the beautiful hamlet of Ranakpur (approx 3 hrs), home to a host of intricately carved white marble Jain temples. Then continue on to Udaipur (approx 5 hrs).
Explore the incredible complex of Jain temples - the main reason why Ranakpur is one of the most important pilgrim destinations for Jains in India.
Udaipur undoubtedly lives up to its reputation as India's most romantic city. Rolling hills, white marble palaces and lakes come together appealingly and it's a centre for artists, dancers and musicians. The shopping is also superb, with miniature paintings being the speciality.
On arrival in Udaipur, take a walk around town to help gather your bearings. Explore Udaipur's twisting alleys filled with silver, shoes, bags, leather goods and miniature paintings.
If time, visit City Palace, one of the largest royal palaces in India, and check out the unbelievable treasures within - from vivid murals to antiques and royal utensils.
Enjoy a half hour boat ride on the famous Lake Pichola and see marvels like Lake Palace and Jag Mandir Island (seasonal depending on the water level in the lake).
Be part of a musical concert combining seven traditional Rajasthani folk dances.
Join the famous Spice Box cooking school and spend a half day learning the secrets of Indian cuisine. With lessons on preparation and cooking, you'll be able to whip up a full Indian meal in no time.
Accommodation: Lake Pichola Hotel or similar (2 nts)
Take a flight to Delhi (approx 1.5 hrs).
Travel by private vehicle to our comfortable hotel to spend the final night.
There are no activities planned for the final day and you are able to depart the accommodation at any time.
Accommodation: Jivitesh Hotel or similar (1 nt)

We strongly recommend you visit your doctor to discuss health requirements for your trip. They will advise you regarding the appropriate inoculations. In some places anti-malaria medication may also be required. Some vaccines need to be administered a few weeks before departure so allow yourself plenty of time. Obtain a certificate of vaccination and carry this with you on this trip. A dental check up is also highly recommended.
Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping, participating in optional activities, and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.
You will need to take cash to cover all additional expenses not included in your tour cost. These include food, drinks, optional sightseeing, tips, laundry, souvenirs and possible delays.

As travellers ourselves we are well aware of the impact that tourism can have and whilst economic gain from tourism is often fundamental to a country, it should never be at the expense of its culture or the environment. It is our aim to provide journeys that have minimal negative and maximum positive impact on the places we visit. We do not believe that, as visitors, we should impose our own cultures on others; rather that we should experience foreign cultures and appreciate them for what they are.
We believe giving something back is essential. We therefore work with our customers and the people we visit to ensure the benefits go directly to contribute to local cultures and environmental conservation. This is not only good the communities we visit but it also gives our travellers more enriched adventures.

I was watching ESPU's coverage of signing day a little while ago while home for lunch, and they did a short segment on what's going on with Michigan recruiting. The last part had the panel talking about UM, and Urban Meyer raved about the Mattison hire. Meyer said that in his opinion Michigan not only signed one of the best defensive minds in the country, but quote "the best recruiter in the country". Yes, Urban Meyer said Greg Mattison is the best recruiter on the country. He said that Mattison's recruiting style is parralleled by noone. Obviously everyone feels great about the hire, but hearing it again from someone of Meyer's caliber (hate him or live him) is pretty nice to hear. Hearing things like this is what make us all excited to see what Hoke and Co. can do next year with a full year of recruiting.
this may be of some local interest

Does your family celebrate it and what do they do to celebrate if yours does?
Mother's Day
Ooooh, I like that one :)
The threat about the car is that we live in a village ten miles from town with very few houses in between where they know no one. So that would be a true threat. No one to visit. Now, i wouldn't do it because it's a busy highway, but still. In my imagination it's nice.
Mum to ODS (7/4) & YDS (7/5)
co-GO on Ask a Muslim (http://community.babycenter.com/groups/a6715463/ask_a_muslim)
I learnt that from my father: he made us understand early than when Quran is on, in the house or the car or everywhere, no one is supposed to talk!
We need to respect the Quran as it is Allah s.w.t words!
So we acquiered the habit of being quiet in my dad's car since he always put Quran!! nothing else! even if we travelled sometimes for 2 to three hours.
the only exception we were allowed to say was: I need to use the bathroom! and even that, we will whisper it!
It was the most efficient way to calm and manage seven children in a family van!
thank daddy!!! Best parenting lecon provided without threats!

Long story short, we decided to replace the water heater. It was tripping the breaker and showing signs of corrosion and rust. I found a receipt that says it's 13 years into it's 12 year life life. It wasn't worth saving. It would be a matter of time before we came home to a flooded garage.
I'm plan to perform a forensic autopsy on the old unit later, for several reasons:
- Don't you want to know what it looks like in there? I do! I do!
- I want to verify why it failed. I think it's the heating elements (and more)
- I need to break this tall piece of waste down into bite-size pieces for disposal / recycling
- My reciprocating saw hasn't been fed in a while. It's time to sink its hungry teeth into some raw demolition.

It's true you know. Little children, we corrupt for the lulz. Your grown-up daughters, for toaster ovens and other valuable prizes.
Landover Baptist Church have cast their lidless eye upon the Moomintrolls, those apparently wholesome fantasy creatures created by Tove Jansson in 1945 that have since appeared in numerous books, comic strips, animated children's tv series, and of course assorted forms of merchandising. I learned of this debacle from one of the Finnish evening papers who thoughtfully linked to the discussion on the LBC forum. The thread ran for fourteen pages when I read it. Quite an entertaining read.
The whole thing smells like an inside job to me, though. The OP seems to be Finnish, living in or near the city of Tampere. And most of the commenters are Finnish too, trying terribly earnestly to explain that a) Finns are not Eskimos and 2) Moomintrolls are not eldritch abominations spawned from the diseased imagination of a twisted pervert.
And now if you'll excuse me, I must go back to my simple but monotonous diet of carpet and whale blubber.

more about language
what i suggest is that in the next language, we get rid of the following:
-- any same words which mean more than one thing
-- any meaning-critical sounds which are too hard for all people to say.
-- pronunciations that can't be predicted from their spellings.
-- non-informative inflections at the ends of words. (we can keep the meaning-critical ones).
-- genders in inanimate words.
about this gender thing, i was just recently reading in a "geschiedenis van de nederlandse taal" about how hard they wrestled with trying to figure out the genders of these nouns. but i never found the paragraph where they explained why a tree *should* be a he or she. maybe the aristocrats thought it would make their language more poetic. of course, it serves the purpose of confounding foreigners. and it makes you seem more german, if that's what you're groping for.
what i want is a non-secret language, that a person can speak correctly just by following the rules. you don't have to be an insider.
a related topic.
let's standardize place names, so we can all know where we're going. stop painting nouns with politics. let's eliminate situations where the same town has multiple names, like in belgium. it can be "anverse" or "antwerpen", i don't care, just make up yer fucking mind already. if you insist on reminding the whole world of your parochial history, the world should forget you altogether. i don't mean to pick on belgians, this also goes for the little nations in the middle east and you-don't-goslavia, and anywhere else that wants to waste the world's consciousness on its petty feuds. the next language is partly about getting over yourself already.
likewise, let's stop changing place names as if they were haircuts. if it was "bombay" last year and it's "mumbai" this year, fine, but please don't change it to "booboy" or "moumee" next year just because the phones got thinner. let's just decide what a place is called, and leave it that way for at least a thousand years, please. don't wake me up tomorrow and tell me there's no such place as "africa".
and let's do away with situations where one street changes names four times as it crosses one city -- just so some politicians can honor their latest hero. streets should be named for clarity and continuity, so people can easily and meaningfully find their way around. note the value difference between "leidsestraat" (leiden street) and "tweede constantijn huygensstraat" (the second street named after constantijn huygens, even though i'm sure he woulda been happy with just one).

PMPs should have HDMI ports. It's a pretty straightforward - and common-sense - idea, but most big-name portable media player manufacturers would far prefer to fit a proprietary socket and then sell you a pricey adapter cable afterwards. Ainol may not be a brand name you're familiar with, but judging by MP4nation's review their new V8000HDW certainly should be on your shortlist if you're keen on HD playback.
That's because as well as a decent 6-inch 800 x 480 display, the V8000HDW supports more codecs and file containers than you can shake a stick at, together with offering an HDMI 1.3 port for hooking up an HDTV. That means you can play up to 1080p Full HD video - including AVI, MP3, TS and MKV - directly from the Ainol PMP itself.
Onboard storage ranges from 1GB to 32GB (plus there's a microSD card slot), and the Sochip SC9800 chipset the PMP is based on is apparently swift enough to keep even 1080p playback chugging along nicely. Unfortunately viewing angles aren't great, so this probably isn't the media player for communal viewing, but then of course you could always connect up a much larger display if you'd prefer. If you're tempted, we've found the 8GB model available for $159.

The Thatcher House offers students the opportunity to live in a residence hall dedicated to learning a foreign language and exploring foreign cultures in six Language Programs. The Italian Language Program houses students on the third floor. The students meet for a two-hour conversation/culture course with the instructor one evening per week. Student teaching assistants meet with the group during the week to socialize in Italian by watching films, listening to music, preparing meals, or working on skits. The Italian Program also hosts receptions for native guest speakers and for the members of our Academic Unit. This program additionally helps our students prepare for study abroad by integrating the cultural experience of students returning from Italy.
For more information about Italian at Thatcher, visit the Residential Academic Programs web site or contact Prof. Nicolina Lo Russo. On the Alumni/ae page of our site, you can see Ex-chancellor Lombardi commenting on his visit to our program.

Dublin 2-14 Louth 0-13
Updated: Saturday, 24 Jul 2010 21:15
Dublin moved back into mainstream Championship football, booking their place in the All-Ireland football quarter-finals with a 2-14 to 0-13 win over Louth.
Eoghan O'Gara's two first-half goals took the wind out of the Wee County's sails as they tried to recover from the nightmare that was the Leinster final against Meath two weeks previously.
It was another day of agony at Croke Park for Peter Fitzpatrick's men, but this time they were fairly, squarely and comprehensively beaten.
The Dubs are building game by game, and will feel they have made progress during their trip through the back door, but once again they failed to convince.
However, the fact that they managed a healthy 2-14 despite the relative ineffectiveness of star attacker Bernard Brogan will have encouraged boss Pat Gilroy.
Louth defender John O'Brien enjoyed a triumphant afternoon as Brogan's marker, restricting him to just one point from play, and that scored in the final minute of the 70.
In front of a crowd of 47,738, Dublin established an early dominance around midfield, where Michael Dara Macauley, Ross McConnell, Bryan Cullen and David Henry gave them a powerful presence.
It was goalkeeper Stephen Cluxton who got them going with the first of his two first-half 45 conversions, and points quickly followed from the Brogan brothers.
It was in the 11th minute that O'Gara drilled home his first goal, drifting past two tackles before unleashing a shot that took a deflection to trick goalkeeper Neil Gallagher.
Louth could only manage three points, all from Brian White frees, in the opening 35 minutes, the first of which lifted the siege temporarily at the beginning of the second quarter.
Cullen charged through to hammer over a couple of points, Cluxton arrowed another 45 between the posts, and on 33 minutes, full-forward O'Gara struck again.
He collected Alan Brogan's pass out on the right, turned marker Dessie Finnegan and beat Gallagher with a low, angled finish.
Now the Dubs led by 11 points, and while two White frees did reduce the deficit, Louth were looking at an impossible situation, trailing by 2-06 to 0-03 at the break.
They regrouped during the interval, however, and came out for the second half with renewed purpose.
Points from substitutes Declan Byrne and Darren Clarke, along with an Andy McDonnell effort, narrowed the gap to five.
Dublin struggled to get any fluency into their play, but were comfortably able to protect their lead, with Ross McConnell, O'Gara, Bernard Brogan from a free, and Cullen all tagging on points.
Louth knew they were gone long before the finish, but never gave up, and Clarke and Paddy Keenan fired over late scores.
Dublin: S Cluxton (0-2), M Fitzsimons, R O'Carroll, P McMahon, K Nolan, G Brennan (0-1), B Cahill, MD Macauley, R McConnell (0-1), B Cullen (0-3), A Brogan (0-1), N Corkery, D Henry, E O'Gara (2-1), B Brogan (0-3).
Subs: P Flynn (0-1) for Corkery, C Keaney for Henry, E Fennell for McConnell,, D Magee for Macauley, T Quinn (0-1) for A Brogan
Louth: N Gallagher. E McAuley, D Finnegan, J O'Brien, R Finnegan, M Fanning, S Fitzpatrick, P Keenan (0-2), B White (0-3), A McDonnell (0-1), M Brennan, A Reid, C Judge, S Lennon (0-1), JP Rooney.
Subs: D Clarke (0-3) for Judge, D Byrne (0-2) for R Finnegan, R Carroll for White, D Maguire (0-1) for Rooney, D Crilly for Fitzpatrick
Referee: P McEnaney (Monaghan)

Consonant: g
The Spanish "g" has three separate sounds: hard, soft and an "h" sound. After a pause and when followed by "a", "o", "u", and when following the letter "n", the hard Spanish "g" closely resembles the "g" in the word "got." The soft "g" sound is not like any English sound, and will require considerable practice. This sound normally occurs between vowels. Finally, when "g" comes before "e" or "i", it sounds like the "h" in the word "hot" except that it is "raspier."
