"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities.
We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."
John Ehrlichman, who served as domestic policy chief for President Richard Nixon when the administration declared its war on drugs in 1971 as reported in Harpers this month
Why particularly this should come out now about Ehrlichman, one of the more unlovable of the Watergate conspirators, some 17 years after his death is unclear, but certainly any movement towards ending this unproductive and unwinnable war is a step forward.
The only beneficiaries have been the drug cartels, the politicians and those agents of the governments such as the DEA, prison service and local and federal law enforcement agencies.
Indeed the increasing militarisation of police to deal with drugs on the streets of America has lead to a further alienation between the police and the communities they are meant to protect and to serve.
Enough already, time for it to end.

SXSW: Pitivi Aims To Bring Real Video Editing to LinuxSubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Sunday 9th of March 2014 08:56:58 PM Filed under
Quite obviously, musicians and the people around them have a great need for video editing software — not only because YouTube is a popular place to listen to music, but because videos have so much promotional value. Tour diaries, talk-to-the-camera confessionals, live show videos, viral stunts, and other types of videos are all part of the gameplan for recording artists these days.

Rajesh Khanna's mother couldn't bear her son's onscreen deaths!
Rajesh Khanna had delivered a few memorable death performances in his past films like Anand and Aradhana. But, Kaka's mother Leelavati could not bear his onscreen deaths.
A close friend to the actor's family informed a leading daily that Khanna's mom used to get annoyed over her son's tragic onscreen deaths. Though it was no reality, as a mother, Leelavati used to complain her friends that she couldn't watch the deaths of her son, even if it's onscreen.
Leelavati was Rajesh Khanna's foster mother. She and her husband Chunni Lal Khanna were relatives of the actor's biological parents.

Emory officials say that some Emory students might be among the seven protesters arrested, but they were awaiting confirmation of that.
The statement from Emory indicates the students were protesting the university's food services vendor. The students have said they were concerned about how the company treats its workers.

Mercedes-Benz E550 Repair and Maintenance
A guide to problems, costs, maintenance and repair for your Mercedes-Benz E550

Our experts translate recalls into plain English
Mercedes-Benz E550 ProblemsInternal Component Failure May Cause Rough Shifting
Vehicles equipped with a 7-speed automatic transmission may develop a rough shifting condition, most commonly going up from first to second gear and going down from third to second or second to first gear. Our technicians tell us this is due to an internal component failure. Mercedes has released updated parts; the transmission will need to be removed and disassembled to complete the necessary repairs.
The camshaft adjuster solenoid (which is related to the variable valve timing system) may fail or timing chain/balance shaft components may wear, resulting in illumination of the Check Engine Light and various drivability issues. Mercedes-Benz has released a service bulletin outlining specific repair instructions depending on fault codes stored.
High mileage or older vehicles commonly develop leaks from the differential seals and/or cover. Our technicians recommend a complete reseal of the differential unit whenever these leaks are repaired.

1. Add an icon/link to Media Library in the same place on the 'write' screen where you have add image, video and audio.
2. Add tab for image uploader on the dashboard. Maybe the same as "write a new page" and "write a new post". Sometimes I want to upload an image that isn't for a post...maybe it's for a masthead or something in my sidebar. Right now I have to go into a write screen or seek out the image uploader.
3. Fix this: When I upload an image and go to insert it into my post I enter the description and alignment. If I want to put a vertical or horizontal space around the image I have to click on the image icon on the write screen and insert it there. Doing that loses the info I entered when I uploade it (i.e., description, sometimes alignment setting).
Just some thoughts on how to make things less cumbersome and more efficient. Thanks for consideration!

Hello. I am very new to wordpress. I am looking for the best practice on how to display topics from my blog (my content) on my regular website.
I do have access to the same database that WP is installed to, so I can easily pull from the database all of the posts, but I Was wondering if there is a better, or a more "standard" way to do this?
What I would prefer is to have the user stay on my site when they click on the post heading, rather than have it go to the URL of the specific post on the blog.
Any help is much appreciated, thanks!!

I've got multisite enabled. The folder is domain.com/blog. In the /blog folder the htaccess file shows:
php_value post_max_size 50M
php_value upload_max_filesize 50M
Phpinfo file shows 50mb. WP shows 1mb on upload. Direct view of one of the blogs is domain.com/blog/blog01 (no subdomain).
Not sure what I'm missing here... I tried the htaccess file in different directories, but all returned the same result. I've searched the forums and found lots of people showing how to setup the htaccess file and/or php.ini file. But, none with a similar issue where htaccess is accurate, but WP still shows 1mb limit.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey guys, I have a parent item in my main menu that I don't want linking anywhere (only the items in the drop down beneath it link). To create it, I made a custom link in the menus box and linked it to "#".
Problem now is that Firefox tell me "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded."
So, I'm sorta stuck. Anyone found a way around this? It has made something so simple otherwise, so annoying.

How to configure Apache with Phusion Passenger
Make sure you have the Phussion Passenger enabled. Check if the following line is uncommented in Apache config file /installdir/apache2/con/httpd.conf:
Include conf/bitnami/passenger.conf
Assuming you have your application running in /application location, substitute the content of the file /installdir/apps/application/conf/application.conf with the following:
<VirtualHost *:80> PassengerEnabled on RailsBaseURI /application <Directory /installdir/apache2/htdocs/application> Options -MultiViews </Directory> </VirtualHost>
Then ssh to your machine and create a symbolic link:
sudo ln -s /installdir/apps/application/public /installdir/apache2/htdocs/application
(You should make sure that the 'public' and 'config' application folders and their parent directories are readable and executable by Apache).
Restart Apache server:
sudo /installdir/ctlscript.sh restart apache
How to change the default URL with Phusion Passenger
Please make sure you have the Phussion Passenger enabled (check the previous section for the details). Then substitute the content of the file /installdir/apps/application/conf/application.conf with the following:
<VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /installdir/apps/application/public <Directory /installdir/apps/application/public/> PassengerEnabled on Options -MultiViews <IfVersion < 2.3 > Order allow,deny Allow from all </IfVersion> <IfVersion >= 2.3> Require all granted </IfVersion> </Directory> </VirtualHost>
Restart Apache server:

How to fix Passenger error for OS X 10.11 El Capitan?
IMPORTANT: If you are using OS X and you upgraded to OS X 10.11 "El Capitan", it is necessary to do the following fix in order to continue using Passenger. This is required because of the new System Integrity Protection:
1. Go to your installation directory, e.g. /Applications/redmine-3.1.1-0/ and stop the servers using the Graphical "manager" tool.
2. Rename "PassengerAgent" binary to "PassengerAgent.bin". If you prefer the terminal this is the command:
mv /Applications/redmine-3.1.1-0/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/passenger-5.0.6/buildout/support-binaries/PassengerAgent /Applications/redmine-3.1.1-0/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/passenger-5.0.6/buildout/support-binaries/PassengerAgent.bin
3. Create a new file in the same location "PassengerAgent" with the following content. Replace the installation directory with your current installation directory:
#!/bin/sh . /Applications/redmine-3.1.1-0/scripts/setenv.sh exec /Applications/redmine-3.1.1-0/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/passenger-5.0.6/buildout/support-binaries/PassengerAgent.bin"$@"
4. Change the permissions of the new file:
chmod 755 /Applications/redmine-3.1.1-0/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/passenger-5.0.6/buildout/support-binaries/PassengerAgent
5. Restart the server. You can use the Manager tool or from command:
./ctlscript.sh restart apache

Three questions...
1) I have this set to show posts that I have marked/labeled as 'Featured' category. The first few lines of the post display and slide correctly, but on a white backdrop. There is no signs of the Feature image in the post. Why aren't the pictures included?
2) Is it possible to add custom pictures in with the category posts? From my tests it seems like it's one or the other.
3) Even when I make the container margin 0px the slider frame is still not flush right. It remains indented. Is there something else I need to change?

I missed some payments through the company because the "Millitary Friendly" company was the only company that was not willing to work with me. I understand I signed a loan agreement and that I have a contract, thats my fault, but do you guys really have no heart? I have all intent to pay my debts until dealing with this company, they are rude, demanding, threatening, shady and have no remorse except getting one over on Desperate and like myself unwise service members.
I have asked for payment arrangements to lower my payments to an affordable payment, I have tried to do Consumer Credit Counseling but Pioneer Military Lending was the only company who would not accept any of the offers, and I have tried to ignore the problem (stupid of me I know), but Pioneer is the Least Military or in General least Friendly company to deal with.
I have told the company not to call my work and they continue to do so, causing me to get in trouble monthly, and having my boss ask me why there are "shady collectors calling me?", I do not reccomend Pioneer to anybody nor do I wish this company upon my enemy. At 36% Interest this company is a ripoff and a scam.

If you continue to blame circumstances and others, you are doomed to repeat this scenario many times.
I DON'T see the Ripoff or scam...the lender is under not obligation to "work with you."
They want paid on time and in the amount agreed, EVERY time.
If 36% interest is a ripoff and a scam, why didn't you borrow from someone else?....Oh, right, you couldn't due to your poor credit history.

Warning: the article was renamed from "Geometry" to "History of geometry" on October 2, 2006 (see edit history). This helps to understand many comments better. Arcfrk 00:51, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Initial comments[edit]
This doesn't strike me as a very good way to introduce geometry to a general audience: "Geometry is a branch of mathematics concerning spaces together with some sort of symmetry relations defined on it. Objects are said to be congruent if there is a symmetry mapping one to the other, and quantities unaffected by all symmetries are called invariants. The study of invariants is the main part of geometry." Those sentences should come about eight paragraphs into the article, I think. -- Larry Sanger
Really meant as a stop until something better comes along...
What is the relationship to trig? Is trig a subfield of geometry in general? Of analytic geometry? Do "real mathematicians" not say "trigonometry"?
The discussion of congruency was apparently ripped out of this page, and poorly done, as a later paragraph refers to "figures" which are not present on this page, but the context is compatible with the figures on the congruency page. Brent Gulanowski 17:59, 30 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Should there perhaps be some mention of geometric series here? There is a redirect from geometric to geometry and I suspect it does get linked when talking about things like geometric growth. --fvw 11:46, 2004 Jul 27 (UTC)
In the opening paragraph to this article I find the wording "in conjunction with mathematical definitions for points, straight lines[...]" problematicsince points and lines, among other things, are usually left as undefined terms in Euchlidean geometry. Servais 17:08, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Though these definitions are often absent from a course in Euclidean geometry, Euclid himself defines them (see [1]), though it has often been argued that his definitions aren't that much good! However, in the context of being only 3 or 4 generations after Leucippus and 2 or 3 after Democritus, Euclid's "a point is that which has no parts" could have been a reasonable stance in stating Euclid's position with respect to atomic theory. Again, it may be useful to have a "history of geometry" section because it is sometimes hard to distinguish between Euclid's own geometry and the framework that became "Euclidean geometry".
It might also be useful to cite Felix Klein's Erlangen Program since this definition was seminal in balancing Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry back into a single subject. (Sorry, I couldn't get this link to 'take', but there is a good article there already.) Dominic Widdows 19 Apr 2005
A better introduction[edit]
Algebra and Geometry are the 2nd largest branches of mathematics (after Mathematical_analysis). It's possible to divide geometry into six main branches:
1) Euclidean geometry (the basic geometry)
2) Analytic geometry (could also be an offshoot of algebraic geometry but is more basic)
The more advanced and complex branches are:
- Probably Riemannian geometry and symplectic geometry and other geometries that live on manifolds should be sub-branches of differential geometry. -Lethe | Talk 19:32, May 30, 2005 (UTC)
6) Non-Euclidean geometries; this includes:
6a) Riemannian geometry (also called elliptic geometry) and 6b) Lobachevsky-Bolyai-Gauss Geometry (also called hyperbollic geometry). Basically the Riemannian metric can account for an infinite number of non-Euclidean geometries.
- Why are these seperate branches? Can't those hyperbolic geometries be modeled on Riemannian manifolds? -Lethe | Talk 19:29, May 30, 2005 (UTC)
7) Topology which is the youngest and most sophisticated branch of geometry which also meets modern algebra.
- I don't agree with you that Topology should be considered a branch of geometry. -Lethe | Talk 19:29, May 30, 2005 (UTC)
8) Noncommutative geometry is currently an active area of research, especially in the area of advanced theoretical physics. -- Orionix 04:36, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- And where are symplectic geometry and Kähler geometry on your list? -Lethe | Talk 19:32, May 30, 2005 (UTC)
Topology is no longer young. Noncommutative geometry isn't really geometry - it has a geometric language, but so does (for example) Boolean algebra theory. It might be better to concentrate on Euclidean geometry, algebraic and differential geometry, and geometric topology, as the basic classification.
Charles Matthews 22:04, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Everything which explores structure & spatial relationships has a 'geometric language'. -- Orionix 16:40, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
the mention of pick's theorem on this page is highly inappropriate. (and suffers from spelling issues). It should go somewhere else. Dmharvey 14:45, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
Fans of Pick's theorem would be disappointed. Seriously, it isn't far from geometry of numbers, which might be worth a mention. But the whole page probably should be reconsidered, since it has probably been given little attention. Charles Matthews 15:46, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
Total rewriting, August 2005[edit]
I agree, as others have noted, the old article was not very good. I could not see any way to fix it.
The article I have written is long, but since geometry is one of the 5 items listed under "areas of mathematics", I think it deserves a long article.
I have written the article as a historical account. Geometry is such a large and varied field, I think it would be difficult to give an adequate definition of it apart from its historical development.
I did not put "Greek geometry" in an article of its own because most of it is needed to understand the rest of the story. The reader should not have to go read a separate "Greek geometry" articlle in order to make sense of the "Geometry" article.
I have left the "20th century" section as a stub, because I am not as interested or qualified to write it. There are a couple of topics I would like to put in, but I would appreciate help on this. I think it would be good to keep the article general and self-contained, ie the reader shouldn't have to be a mathematician to follow it.
Aftermath 03:35, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
Needs rewrite[edit]
Seriously. The current article doesn't fit in with the ideas of wikipedia. It is too jumbled and unstructured. It should be possible to just look at the article and find what most people want to know:
1. What geometry is, distinguishing between the formal definition and the public conception of geometry. 2. What are the current fields of study in geometry. How the field divides into subfields. 3. How study of geometry is applied, and how geometry fits into maths as a whole.
The history section should be separated from that - if neccessary, onto another page.--Fangz 01:55, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
- I agree. Almost the whole article is about the history of geometry rather than actually explaining aspects of geometry. If I remembered geometry well enough I would rewrite this, but I don't. It should have how to use geometry to solve problems and things like that- as it is it is not very helpful. -Chocolateluvr88 00:25, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
What's geometry without images? This important page is seriously lacking. Gflores Talk 05:16, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Thales of Miletus[edit]
I decided to change where it said "Thales of Ionia" to "Thales of Miletus" because, although Miletus was part of Ionia, "Thales of Miletus" is the name under which Thales is most commonly known (along with "Thales the Milesian"). When I read that line I wondered if Thales of Ionia was a different person than the Thales of Miletus I was familliar with. When I followed the link to the Miletus page, I found that they were one and the same, so I was bold and made the change to the more familliar name. Normally I wouldn't post such a ridiculous comment for such a minor edit, but apparently this page isn't actually part of a wiki, you have to have all your edits approved by the almighty lords who watch this page. Is that to your liking, Your Majesty, Oleg Alexandrov? I'm so regretful to have failed you in my edit summary. --Someones life 05:17, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, it is good that you explained your edits. It is entirely appropriate to document your edits with an edit summary, for the benefit of your fellow contributors and my own majesty. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 19:53, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
This should be at History of geometry[edit]
This article is more about history and less about mathematics. When people think "geometry", they think of modern geometry, and would expect to see Geometry talk about topics in modern geometry, not about the history of geometry. — 0918BRIAN • 2006-03-7 23:52 Bold text it is a great adventureus mathmatical subject it is a very injoyable subject to expierience i bet you'll love it.
Why only the China section sites its sources?[edit]
The Egypt, Babylan and India ancient math history were placed ahead of China, but only China section has almost all the sources for the whole article, others did not refer to any sources, why?Dongwenliang 23:26, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
Objection- How come you have Islamic Geometry, why they are not called Persian or Arabic Geometry?[edit]
Many of those scholars were against Islam and yet Islam claims everything in that part of geography to be its own? How things become Islamic even if they are in opposition to it? Most of ancient Indian mathematics was developed by Hindu priests (or custodian of hinduism/sanatan dharma), still we call it Indian mathematics. But in case of Islam people like Omar Khayyam who disliked the idea of Islam are called Islamic mathematician? Why we have to allow Islam baby-rules, where it can cheat and can do foul play while others have to follow rules of adult players?
I have a question:[edit]
Who invented the "standard position"? How did it come about that zero degrees is in the 3 o'clock position and angle numbers increase anti-clockwise? Why don't geometry and clocks (which I think arose in the west at about the same time) follow the same conventions? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 09:10, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
Image copyright problem with File:Lothal conception.jpg[edit]
The image File:Lothal conception.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

"Muslim" is not the same as "Arab" . . .[edit]
In the Islamic section of this article it continuously repeats the term "Muslim". However, this is severely contradicting due to the fact that not all Arabs are Muslims. Therefore even though all Arabs TEND to be practicing Muslims, it is unfair to confuse one for the other. In rare cases it could occur that these "Muslim mathematicians" could have been or not have been Muslims. In this case we can confirm using logistics the following: Not all MUSLIMS are ARAB Not all ARABS are MUSLIMS A Muslim is though who has taken a vow to Islam and generally refers to an Arab whom practices the Islamic religion. Therefore it is not fair to generalize that the muslims were these great mathematicians because there is no certainty that all of them were devote to their religion. In other words though, they certainly were Arab. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 02:44, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
POV section[edit]
I removed the following because it read like an opinion piece, and it contradicted the previous sentence. It may still be factually valid, so I moved it here so someone can review it. It is from the section "Thales and Pythagoras":
(There is no evidence that Thales provided any deductive proofs, and in fact, deductive mathematical proofs did not appear until after Parmenides. At best, all that we can say about Thales is that he introduced various geometric theorems to the Greeks. The idea that mathematics was from its inception deductive is false. At the time of Thales, mathematics was inductive. This means that Thales would have "provided" empirical and direct proofs, but not deductive proofs.)

Has anyone run the new amazon site creation software "Zonterest" through its paces? The sites look really good but that doesn't anyone actually making money off these sites. Looks pretty pricey too.#product reviews #zonterest
Zonterest, Amazon Affiliate System - Amazon Website Builder
Zonterest, Amazon Affiliate System - Amazon Website Builder
- Please allow me to jump in this thread as I am the creator of Zonterest. I won't comment on reviews, just add some details about pricing.
Zonterest is all-inclusive, so it's in fact quite cheap as it includes: domain registration and hosting for 1 year, content, website building, as well as up to 50 social signals per website created (from real social networkers around the world).
If you compare this to just domain registration + hosting, even using the simplest hosting plan, it would already cost $12 (domain) + $50-$60 for 1 year of hosting... and you would have no website ready.
We truly believe it's more than fairly priced :-)
If you have any question, use the contact form on Zonterest.com as I am probably checking WF once a month if not less.
- Any website that is put together like that and has traffic is for sure to make some money..
For under 200 bucks with resell rights sound like a deal to me..
- Isn't the content just scraped content from the Amazon API? I mean can you add some original reviews to your site? I noticed the demo site had a "blog". Is this a WP blog installed on a subdirectory or just a seperate page? Can you add a WP blog to your sites for additinal content and reviews etc.?
- Zonterest is a kind of "Done for you" system. You login, add your keyword and it creates an Amazon affiliate website with your affiliate ID. The "blog" section you refer to is simply the link to all the product details listed on your Zonterest website.
Zonterest is part of Creative Niche Manager (Creative Niche Manager | Niche Marketing Platform ) and for CNM members, you have access to a Blog management module (you can use to create WP blogs), to a Content Publishing engine (you can use to edit Zonterest content, to add more reviews, to pull articles from a 10 million articles database, to add Clickbank reviews, Linkshare products...).
But Zonterest will remain as simple as possible as most users are in because of its simplicity: create an Amazon affiliate website you fully own with just one seed keyword ; promote it by pushing a few sliders to create social signals (one-way backlinks) to your Zonterest website.
If someone needs more advanced features to add blogs, content, they can do it, adding extra modules to their account by joining Creative Niche Manager.
- Creative Niche Manager looks very powerful too. My bottom line question though is this: How do these Zonterest sites stack up to an ugly WP blog that you put together with original reviews and content? Which one will actually make money? If these Zonterest sites can actually make money then it's a no brainer...I'm in.
It seems that right now the only way to find out would be to take the plunge as nobody has any results to show.
- These are optimized Amazon affiliate websites. As with any website, you still need to get traffic to it. Zonterest system includes Social signals so that you can start building say 50 social signals (backlinks from social networks from real social networkers) within 30 seconds after creating your Zonterest websites.
So, these websites will make money when they receive traffic. We also recommend you generate traffic through other means, especially Youtube videos and further backlinking.
We also have "private" solutions for users where we can create a video, upload it to different video sharing networks (Youtube, vimeo...) and then build links to it.
- Yes-I think your Youtube method would work. But as far as backlinking to get such a site ranked in the search engines would be pretty futile wouldn't it? It would be classified as a thin affiliate site and slapped to oblivion.
I noticed you have a Pinterest button on the sites. Do you have a software/methodology that would help get viral traffic from Pinterest?
- We played around with Zonterest on our site for a while did like how it worked but using it in a WP site gave us some issue. Getting it to look right and keeping it tact with our main blog site wasn't working. I would tell you to run it on as a separate site or page and drive traffic to it from You tube as mentioned above and ad links for your main site to your new Zonterest site. From there add links on the Zonterset site. This will give you a great start for backlinks to your new site. This is of course depends if your page ranking is up there. Just my suggestion we have done this in the past with other sites and works well.
Best of luck!
- Steven, not sure how you did that since Zonterest is fully hosted and you can't use it on a WP based website.
That said, Zonterest allows you to create specific stores (Kindle stores, book store, video games store...) in different country, with products based on your keyword.
When it comes to traffic, usual technics should apply: link building, social bookmarking, Youtube marketing, classified ads, PPC, PPV... We help by creating 50 social signals on each Zonterest powered websites, but based on your niche and keyword selection, one might need more.
- I have been using Zonterest for about a week. I think it is a great idea, but so far I have been disappointed and frustrated with the difficulty in trying to get it to work right.
I purchased one site to test it out. For $37 I was supposed to get one site plus 25 social signals. But everything works on a "credits" system, meaning you need a certain number of credits to set up a site. The problem was that 10 minutes after I signed up, the system automatically deducted 5 credits for monthly support. So then when I tried to set up my site, I got a message telling me I didn't have enough credits left. $37 and dead in the water.
After a couple of messages to support, they restored the credits, and I went and set up my site. It couldn't have been easier. After adding my personal info and Amazon ID, I picked a domain name, category and main keyword for the site. "Voila", and the site was ready in a few seconds, and hosted on my domain too!
But then I tried to change the template. It let me change it to one of the web 2.0 templates loaded into Creative Niche Manager for their other content sites. But that turned out to be all wrong, not suitable for the Amazon store. And when I tried to access the Zonterest module to change to a suitable template... you guessed it... "not enough credits". So at this moment I am stuck with the wrong template and a lousy looking site, trying to get support to help me again.
All these issues might not occur for someone who buys a large package with lots of credits. (And by the way, the smallest package of credits you can buy is $60, so this is not a trivial issue.) But in my opinion (JP, I hope you are reading this with an open mind) they need to tweak some things for the person who just buys one site. I don't think it is too much to ask that we should be able to buy and set up one site after purchase and be able to change the template and content of that site, all without running into the "not enough credits to do that" message. Or to put it another way, I shouldn't have to pay $60 to edit a $37 site.
I would also suggest allowing us to use our own domain names rather than forcing us to register a new one through their dashboard. I like to have a little more control over my domain names.
I hope they fix these things (and will be happy to update the review when they do) as I still think this has potential to be a super easy way to set up and manage Amazon sites. I was hoping to use it to park some domains that I haven't had a chance to develop yet.
- Gene, your issue is in no way related to Zonterest unfortunately. If you read the Zonterest tutorials, you see that Zonterest is a fully hosted service with no other template. You simply tried to do something not planned for Zonterest. So, it failed. Zonterest is not to blame here. We never explain how to change templates since Zonterest is based on this highly performing template.
As you say, Zonterest is dead easy: enter your keyword, pick your store type and voilà. That's it.
As a member of CNM 2 (the much bigger platform supporting Zonterest) then you know that we have some Support & MAintenance monthly fees (5 credits). They are not new. That said you can opt out of this program (this program gives you access to more templates for other Creative Niche Manager website builders).
What happens, is that since you had no credits and were still in this program, as soon as you added credits, we charged you for unpaid Support credits.
Also, there's a confusion: you can't pay to edit a website... since we edit it for you and for free in case you made a mistake (regarding your keyword selection for example). Then Zonterest has no option to edit the content or change the template. So, here you're also going beyond the Zonterest features which are described in the online Tutorials.
If you had the "not enough credit message", it means you tried to create a new website using Zonterest.
These are not bugs at all. This is the way Zonterest works.
(btw Gene, with CNM, you can build websites listing Amazon products, as well as ebay, Clickbank, Linkshare... with any other templates available). Zonterest is designed to be a fully hosted platform with a completely done for you process (domain, hosting, content, template).
We will revert your website to the right template, but once again, blaming the service for something Zonterest is not responsible for, is quite interesting :-) (I hope you also have an open mind when reading this).
I wish you a great day.
- JP was right... My issue had to do with a lapsed subscription to Creative Niche Manager (the larger platform which now includes Zonterest), so that when I added the Zonterest module, the system automatically deducted credits that I had just added with my purchase.
Bottom line, my situation is probably unique, and not representative of what the average purchaser would experience.
I can say that now that they have sorted things out, I am delighted with the ease of use of this system, and the finished product looks great.
I am also pleased to report that JP and staff were responsive in helping me get things straightened out.
I am going to see how well the site converts, but I expect I will be buying more, as this is a drop dead simple way to monetize a domain and set up lots of sites quickly.
These are optimized Amazon affiliate websites. As with any website, you still need to get traffic to it. Zonterest system includes Social signals so that you can start building say 50 social signals (backlinks from social networks from real social networkers) within 30 seconds after creating your Zonterest websites.
So, these websites will make money when they receive traffic. We also recommend you generate traffic through other means, especially Youtube videos and further backlinking.
We also have "private" solutions for users where we can create a video, upload it to different video sharing networks (Youtube, vimeo...) and then build links to it.
Has anyone managed to rank one of these sites for their buying keywords? I would love to know!
- I just checked and my site is in the Google index with 16 results. I don't expect it to rank for the main keyword, but some of the longer tail product keywords could produce some traffic.
I think Google cares more about backlinks and social signals than unique content. So if you can get people liking and sharing your pages, I don't see why you can't get decent rankings.
- @maverick4u : as Gene reported, you need content on your website. I won't enter the "unique" discussion as it's in progress for like 7 years just on this forum. After so many years online, I don't think Unique content is the issue.
What matters is good onsite optimization and most importantly good backlinks and ones from Social networks (social signals). This is what search engines tend to favor for sure since last updates.
Zonterest Amazon stores are just about that. Produce great looking websites with content and sociall signals at a fair price.
Now, I have no idea how you would want to show an Amazon product and at the same time show unique content for this product... since you would just play against Amazon Associates agreement.
That's where all the other Zonterest alternatives miserably fail. They just surfed the "Unique content" wave but simply ended up putting their customers' business at risk by providing non compliant Amazon associates store.
Amazon is really strict about that. The reason is that it's dead simple to follow their rules. So, no point to breakt those. Some of my customers reported having tracking issues and unpaid commissions because of such non compliant plugins or softwares.
Basically, I would run away as fast as I can from every plugin / software that claim to be integrated with any content spinner (thinking it's a benefit!). As well you can't edit a product description, and many other restrictions I won't discuss here. But they do exist for a reason.
Now, Associates store service producer have to adapt. Why game Amazon when it's so easy to just make the most of these rules. We decided to do just that at Zonterest, Amazon Affiliate System - Amazon Website Builder
Instead of gaming them, we have produced highly optimized Associates stores that generate a high click through rate to Amazon product page, and rank high thanks to the social signals we provide and to the other tools and backlinks our users have access to.
- Re: Your question on Zonterest.
I have not been using it for long so I can only share what has happened so far.
My time is limited and the more time it takes me to finish a website it means the less time I have to work on getting people to see it. Because of this I had 3 things I wanted to find out about a Zonterest created website.
#1 Could it really speed up the creation of a nice looking Amazon product website?
#2 What results would I get from running just a social signals campaign on a new website? Would it be helpful?
#3 Would this kind of website actually generate sales?
The test run was on 5 Zonterest only created websites. No changes of any kind were made. 50 social signals were done on each website.
Zonterest aced the website creation test. It only took a few minutes and I was done. It took a little more time before I could view the finished website. All of this was fast and easy. Once I got going it was actually kind of fun.
Once the social signals campaign started my Amazon stats started changing. That means the Zonterest website was doing what was suppose to. It was not alot of traffic but this was not a large scale effort yet either.
The websites were 2 weeks old when the first sale happened. 3 of the 5 websites have generated a sale. Several pages of each of the 5 sites have been indexed. I haven't looked for where they rank yet. Just being found from social signals alone I thought was doing well.
So far I have been pleasantly surprised. A few sales might not seem like much to you but for me I am happy to quickly know it works. It is a place to start. Now that I know it is possible to generate sales I plan to put more effort into getting traffic to my websites and see what is really possible.
- @castlefort: these are great news for your websites. As I understand you only used Zonterest features (including the Social Signals module) to promote your website and create backlinks.
Of course, we do what is supposed to be done when you setup a Social Media campaign :-)
You results are coherent with what other members report: websites getting indexed in a week or so (based on keywords) and traffic. We've extensively tested this specific Zonterest design to make sure it would work well with Amazon listings.
We were pleasantly surprised as it even outperforms all other designs we've tested (even from so-called other Amazon store builders). We've learnt a few lessons regarding how to build effective Amazon stores for sure!
- Is there still support for Zonterest? Its going on 5 days with no reply to my ticket...

Understanding Long-Term Care
Long-term care insurance helps with nursing home expenses.
WebMD Feature
Reviewed By Michael Smith
When most people think of long-term care for the elderly, they think of nursing homes. But it can involve much more than that. It also means home health care and personal care, and help with chores, all of which can be necessary for older people living at home.
But many people's financial resources are quite limited, and this can keep them from getting the care and services they need when they grow old. That's why many people are turning to long-term care insurance.
A Devastating Expense
Long-term care has become the greatest health-care need of older persons. It's the most common catastrophic health-care expense today.
Every day more than 5,000 people in this country turn 65. More than 2.5 million are 85 or older. And the likelihood of chronic illness or disability increases with age.
The kind of services needed by older persons varies widely. Some need help around the house, with shopping, and with transportation. Some need personal care such as help bathing or dressing. Some need rehabilitative care after a stroke, or intensive long-term skilled nursing care. And some need to be placed in nursing homes.

Fade to Black
By ANEMONA HARTOCOLLIS
Published: April 6, 2003
TO some, the Olympia movie theater was a dark, smelly cavern with sticky gum spots on the floor and soda spills on the seats, a place where one's powers of concentration were tested by the propensity of the audience to chatter away just at the final clinch.
To others, the flaws of the 90-year-old theater on Broadway near West 107th Street were part of its charm and almost indistinguishable from its virtues. Its days, though, were numbered; an investor bought the property in December and promptly shut down the theater. Never a blue-chip house, the Olympia has gone through many incarnations over the years, making its death throes as corny as the last moments of a B-movie hero caught in an endless fusillade of bullets.
In the past few months, three of the city's sturdiest survivors -- the Olympia, the Metro at West 99th Street and the Nova at West 147th Street -- have shut their doors, a development that left a 10-mile swath of Broadway from 84th Street to Yonkers without a first-run movie theater for the first time in decades. While on March 28, as abruptly as it had closed, the Metro reopened, its landlord said the reprieve might be only temporary.
Once, the city was dotted with neighborhood movie theaters -- many of them celluloid-age reincarnations of old vaudeville theaters -- that were as much a neighborhood fixture as the coffee shop and the playground. But over the years their numbers have sharply dwindled, killed off not so much by those usual suspects -- home video, a universe of hundreds of cable channels and video on demand -- as by a quintessentially New York force, developers and landlords eager to exploit galloping real estate values.
As a result, the chances of seeing movies among like-minded neighbors are increasingly slim. The nabes, as they were affectionately called by generations of New Yorkers, the place where parents could escape the kids, teenagers could find love in the dark, and the elderly could enjoy a cheap night out close to home -- these are becoming part of the city's past.
Though beloved, the neighborhood movie theater had usually seen better days.
''The smell is generations of bodies and spilled popcorn,'' said Melvin Jules Bukiet, an Upper West Side novelist and professor of writing at Sarah Lawrence College, who was a devotee of the Olympia. ''That actually enhances the visceral nature of the experience.''
Mr. Bukiet began frequenting the Olympia two decades ago as a Columbia graduate student. Until the theater's sudden death, his daughter, Louisa, a junior at Stuyvesant High School, carried on the tradition by seeing cheap movies -- any cheap movies -- every Friday with her friends.
Mr. Bukiet's favorite visceral moviegoing moment at the Olympia occurred while watching the male-nude denouement of the 1997 film ''The Full Monty'' in the company of his Upper West Side neighbors.
''Finally it happens, and the hundreds of women in the movie watching these sort of dowdy, dumpy men take off their clothes break into screaming applause,'' he recalled. ''The people in the theater, including myself, were also screaming and clapping, and our clapping was mixing with the clapping on the screen, and you couldn't tell the difference. It was magical.''
Broadway Goes Dark
The closing of the Olympia stunned many neighborhood residents who expected the theater to stumble along forever, although more observant residents pointed out that the adjoining storefront, while on a bustling commercial strip, had been kept oddly vacant, raising suspicions that it was being warehoused for eventual sale.
The Metro went dark just over a month later, on Jan. 26. With its distinctive mauve and black Art Deco façade adorned with figures depicting comedy and tragedy, the theater was built during the Depression years of 1932-33, the end of a 40-year boom in theater building. The year after its completion, there were 18 movie theaters along Broadway between 59th and 110th Streets.
The Metro is now in a dispute between Clearview Cinemas, which holds a long-term lease, and Albert Bialek, the owner of the building. Cablevision, Clearview's parent company, has been selling off its movie theaters, a group of properties that also includes the Olympia, to reduce debt. Mr. Bialek said last week that he had been trying to buy back the lease, although he was not sure what he would do with it.
''We have thoughts for redevelopment, and they're not firm,'' he said. ''It might remain a theater. The situation is fluid.''
The developments surrounding the Metro and the Olympia caused a flurry of dismay on the activist Upper West Side. Less noticed, perhaps because it happened in Harlem, was the closing in September of the Nova, a first-run movie theater that had been operated for nearly a quarter of a century by Ramon Nova, a former cabdriver, and his son. The Nova began life in 1913 as the Bunny Theater, named, legend has it, after John Bunny, a 300-pound Brooklyn-born vaudevillian and silent screen comic, who is still memorialized in a pair of bas relief bunny heads on the façade.

1945 Mochet Velocar news, pictures, specifications, and information
Mochet was primarily known as a bicycle manufacturer. Charles Mochet saw the advantages of pedaling from a seated position, wîth a backrest making the transfer of force easier.
An obviously Spartan model, the top and side curtains were optional equipment.
Source - lanemotormuseum.org; Hilton Head Concours
Charles Mochet was a concerned father that came up with the idea of two-person, four-wheeled bike called the Velocar. Mochet was the maker of minimalist, pedal—powered quadricycles that were built on a tblar-steel chassis with bicycle-sized wheels and lightweight aerodynamic bodywork.
To soothe the fears of his wife, who feared that the common bicycle was too risky for their young son George, Charles built him a pedal-driven four-wheeled vehicle. In 1924 he came up with a concept that would allow one biker to relax while the other passenger continued pedaling, or could jump out the passenger-only door and push up the hills. The four-wheeler reduced the danger of falling over, and was exceedingly fast.
This vehicle was very popular to blind WWI veterans who could pedal, while the wife steered. The Velocar was a huge step up for those who couldn't afford the expensive motor car. Eventually the demand for the vehicles led Charles Mochet giving up the building of automobiles in favor of spending all of his energy to the construction of HPV's.
The Velocar was a two-seated, four-wheeled pedal-car that featured comfortable seating and the same trunk as a car, with the pedal propulsion of a bicycle. Three gears and a light fairing that was made up of airplane windshield material called Priplex completed the technical equipment. Much like the sharp-pointed boat-like shapes of the mid-twenties, the Velocar design came with a flatter though still angular nose that curved in a smooth shape from front axle to cowl. With an enclosed floor, the Velocar had tails that were teardrop-shaped with angular boxes that grew out vertically on the Camionette.
Beginning as a pedals-only vehicle, the Velocar was eventually fitted with a noisy, archaic market motor. Produced from 1926 through 1938, the Velocar was invented in Puteaux, Seine, France. The vehicle featured 88cc displacement, a length of 2,400mm, a width of 1,300mm and an overall weight of 100 kg.
The 'Velo-Velocar' or 'V-V' was responsible for breaking many world cycling records before unfortunately being banned from competition by the UCI, the cycling's governing body. Road and track versions continued to be built between 1933 and 1939. Velocar's were extremely fast and from time to time they were used as pace vehicles in bicycle races. Unfortunately, once they reached their limit at higher paces, cornering became very dangerous. One had to pedal extremely fast on a curved path, and every curve meant having to brake hard and re-accelerate. Mochet even experimented with a three-wheeled vehicle, but it tended to fall over in curves even worse than the four-wheeler.
The poor economy in France after the first World War aided the popular sales of the Velocar, as purchasing a 'real' car was an impossible dream for many Frenchmen. The sales of the Velocar steadily increased until the thirties. Today the Velocar can still be found for rent on the beach in Marseilles and tour the city in an ecologically sound fashion. These little vehicles declined in popularity as more inexpensive powered vehicles became available.
