More keyword data is obscured in analytical reports.
Trying to figure what persuades an online shopper to buy can seem like looking into a murky river and straining to see the pebbles and sand along the bed. Unfortunately for some retailers and their search marketers, the water is becoming more clouded.
The change involves Google and an ongoing push to enable consumers to partially hide their Internet search efforts. It's important to say what this is not: One of those revisions that Google regularly makes to the mathematical formulas that govern search results, and which can cause migraines among e-retailers who fear being lost at sea among the seemingly infinite search possibilities. No Panda here, no "Fresh," to name two recent updates to the Google search algorithm that many e-retailers know well, and which were designed to reward web sites that offer the newest and most relevant content.
Instead, this change is about providing consumers with, in Google's own words, "a more secure and private search experience." Google secure search encrypts inquiries for consumers signed into their Google accounts, meaning that search terms and results are generally hidden from anyone but that consumer and Google. In describing the program last fall, Evelyn Kao, a Google project manager, said it could protect consumers using, say, unsecured Wi-Fi inside cafes. More generally, Kao wrote, the steady move toward more personalized searches—that is, serving up results informed by a consumers' search history—also makes such protection more important.
The program has since expanded. For instance, searches conducted via Google Chrome and Firefox now default to secure search. And that's making life more difficult for those engaged in search engine optimization, says Adam Dorfman, partner at SIM Partners, a digital marketing services provider. That's because the encrypted searches are also obscured in the analytical reports that marketers and retailers rely upon to see which search keywords and phrase lead online shoppers to buy. "A larger percentage of keyword referrals are coming back as 'not provided'," he says. "It makes monitoring keywords much harder."
For instance, a shoe e-retailer might do some SEO around the keyword phrase "Nike running shoes." The e-retailer would want to know as much as possible about the performance of the phrase in order to do better SEO, such as whether to use the phrase in an infographic, or make it into a link that would draw the positive attention of Google's search engine crawlers. "It's harder to adjust optimization tactics," Dorfman says. He says that, based on his observations, up to 25% of site traffic to particular web sites could be coming via secured searches; for its part, Google has said that secured search should affect no more than 10% of searches.
None of this necessarily means a big muddy flood for retailers anxious about their SEO efforts. Dorfman says the larger ones likely will feel the most impact—but that they have the luxury of employing, either in-house or via agencies, sophisticated search marketing experts who will be able to detect patterns through the new murk. "For most mom-and-pops, they will probably be annoyed by this, but it won't affect major SEO decisions," he says. Still, with Google certainly hoping that more consumers will sign into Google accounts while on the Internet, secure search is something to keep in mind.

- Go to the blog at joeyday.com.
- Click "Archive" across the top to get the search box.
- Search for "english" and observe that this post, English Standard Version, doesn't appear in the search results.
- Search for "ministry" and observe that this post, Is Paid Ministry Unbiblical?, doesn't appear in the search results.
Any ideas? Thanks.

It is indeed a very interesting idea. How do you see a collaboration between LCDM and Ericsson? In what field(s)? I think you could expand your post with some concrete examples.
During the second year we did work on real projects from Virginia Tech in a class called "Communicating Innovation", for instance.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
So I bought a car at Future Ford Roseville. Let me tell you how bad the experience was!!!
I looked at the add you suggested I look at for the sale. Found that I could buy a fiesta for 10997 with sync. They only had two and they were gone(big surprise). So I told them that when the next sale comes around next Friday give me a call and Ill
come get it early and I left the store. They call me that night and tell me they have the car and if I want it come back right away. I tell them I am cooking dinner and will have to come back the next day. They insist that I come in that
night. So I do. I'm exhausted and tried from being in the sun looking at cars all day but I come in at 7:30pm. Then they don't have the car and I have to go to the Madison store to pick it up. So we do.
Then they keep me at the dealership until 12:30am. The finance guy tells me I have to make a decision for gap insurance and warranty that night. Well I'm so tired I can't (12:30am) all the detail guys have gone home so I can't take the car anyway. So I don't make the decision I finally go home and get home by 1:00am. I tell them I'll be back at 11:00am with my trade
in. They call me at 9:00am and wake me up to come in and finish. I don't get there until 11:30am because I had trouble with the trade in car. So I call them and tell them I'm having trouble and they tell me they don't want the trade in. That's fine I sell the trade in over the phone on my way into the dealership. I'm OK with that.
But I get there and my car is gone. They tell me it was the wrong car ( that they made me go pick up). But they got me
another one. I ask is it the same price? No but close, it's 339 more. So now I'm paying 11339. ok not a big deal. But they keep me waiting another hour and a half so they can write up a new contract. SO ok I wait some more. Then I finally get the car and leave. I contact my insurance.
Then they call me at work today and tell me they made another mistake and I need to come in
right away and sign new papers. I tell them I can't, Im at work until midnight. But I will be there on Thursday for the sync class we will take care of it then. But no not good enough. They need it now, so they send this poor
woman out to the airport where I work to bring me another contact that is supposed
to be the same price (that is what they told me) when I look over the contract
now I'm paying 400 more and my payment are higher. They are not higher by too
much but still not the same like I was told it would be. So I figure another
mistake. I'm not signing it. I call. They call me back and try to justify the extra charge.
Now I'm so angry I don't want the dam car. First they keep me out, run me around, give me
bait and switch and now they want to charge me 700 more than the original price I was supposed to pay from the beginning.
Ya I know you don't think 700 is much but it is when you factor in the lies and the time they spent trying to hide the lies and the stress they keep me under hoping I wouldn't notice what they were doing. So I told them I get off at midnight they could come to my house and get the car then. I couldn't believe it when I called them back to tell them they could come and
get it early if they wanted to come to my work and get it and the guy told me they were already going to come to the airport and get the car (leaving me stranded). Lucky for me one of my co-workers had offered me a ride home because my husband can't drive at night, he is handicapped.
Why didn't they just tell me the truth? Why all the brain washing tactics? Why didn't they wait
and sell me one that was on sale like I asked for? I brought in my own financing from sac credit union I have a 824 credit score. I was an easy sell. Why put me through all the crap they did. And the whole time telling me what a
good deal I was getting. I don't consider it a good deal when they keep you up all hours change the price three times and pressure to do things you don't want to do.
My mom and Dad used to buy a new Lincoln from Frank Andrews every two years. He would roll over in his grave if he could see the way I have been treated by Future. I bought my new 2005 mustang from them.
I have taken my car all the way to Roseville for servicing all these years and my mom brings her car there also. Well no more. I'm ashamed of you all and done with you all. I hope the owner of the dealership is proud of the greedy folks
he has working there now. Because it used to be that when you were treated right you always got your cars from the same people over and over again. I can buy a car anywhere and I came there because of our many year relationship with
Frank Andrews Lincoln and Future Ford. The only way I would ever do business with you again is if you brought a car to my house and gave me the keys for free, to make up for the crap your people pulled on me. That being said, I know
that won't happen because your not smart enough to know not to screw people to begin with, so I'm sure you don't know how to fix it when you do. Word of mouth will cost you more than what you did to me. I'll take my money that I will
spend on repairs and more new cars to someone much smarter than you.

ASBO landlord who assaulted tenant fined for safety breaches
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Legal, Local Government
ASBO landlord who assaulted tenant fined for safety breaches
A London landlord - believed to be the first in the country to receive an ASBO - has been fined for putting her tenants' lives at risk.
Catherine Boyle of 14 Iverson Road, Camden was fined £8,074.60 after failing to comply with fire regulations for a house in multiple occupation (HMO)
Ms Boyle was given a two-year ASBO in January 2011 which forbade her from causing harassment, alarm or distress to her tenants, entering their rooms without consent, or cutting off their gas and electricity supply.
The 59-year-old was also cautioned in August 2010 for common assault against one of her tenants.
In a prosecution brought by Camden Council, Ms Boyle was found guilty of failing to carry out works specified in an Improvement Notice and four breaches of fire-related HMO regulations. She was also found to be in breach of her HMO licence by providing her tenants with non-fire retardant furniture.
The Improvement Notice served in 14 April 2011 required Ms Boyle to carry out extensive works to deal with serious hazards in relation to excess cold, entry by intruders, damp, fire food safety, and falls. She was required to have completed the alterations by November 2011, but a council inspection in January 2012 revealed that work had not been completed.
Highbury Magistrates were concerned about the serious offences which put tenants at risk, fining Ms Boyle £3,600, a victim support contribution of £15 and the council's costs of £4459.60. She was required to pay the amount within four months and was reminded that the works were still outstanding putting her at risk of a further prosecution.
Camden's cabinet member for housing, Councillor Julian Fulbrook, said: "Living in a cold damp home has a negative impact on people's health including increased risk of hypothermia, respiratory illness, heart attack and strokes, underweight infants, social isolation and financial stress. In 2010/11 it was estimated excess winter deaths nationally were 25,700.
"We inspect all our HMOs regularly to make sure they comply with all health and safety regulations so that tenants are safe in their homes. In the most serious cases we have the power to revoke an HMO licence and take over the running of the properties ourselves."

Apple update: Six reasons to get iOS 6
- From: news.com.au AskMen
- September 20, 2012
Apple is rolling out its latest operating system , iOS 6, for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
Here are six features hand-picked by AskMen worth considering before you download iOS 6
1. MAPS: Apple has ditched Google's map service in favour of its own. Apple has delivered an impressive set of 3D maps, which it developed entirely from scratch. The maps function also works very well as a GPS, provides traffic updates, and boasts a sexy flyover feature. It's not a mile high, but it's sexy nonetheless.
2. SIRI: The personal assistant now speaks more languages, answers more questions and is available on the iPad. Things you can now ask Siri to do: Book movies, check sport scores, make a reservation and dictate tweets. UGH, finally, you don't have to use your own hands to Tweet.
3. PASSBOOK: This tracks boarding passes, movie tickets, coupons, loyalty cards, and anything else you'd normally put in your wallet. It's also location-based, meaning your boarding pass will load automatically when you get to the airport. If your flight's been delayed, your phone will know about it before you do. We knew this day was coming.
4. SHARED PHOTO STREAMS: This is an improved and simplified photo-sharing service that takes Apple's iCloud feature forward. Maybe just go easy on sharing the photos of your baby doing EVERYTHING, ALL THE TIME.
5. FACEBOOK: Apple has tightly integrated the world's most popular social network into iOS 6. You can share photos on Facebook from the camera app, post your location on FAcebook from the maps app, tell Siri to post a status for you, and look up birthdays in the Calendar app from Facebook. Which is great, because we don't like to think or do anything for ourselves. Soon the humans will be obsolete.
6. FACETIME: It now works over cellular and Wi-Fi networks, making it much more practical, and comes with a bunch of call-answer options, like setting yourself a reminder to call the person back.
So what does this all mean? No more excuses for bad phone etiquette. No more "forgetting" to call Mum on her "birthday". No more telling friends you were at the gym when really you were at McDonald's getting another quarter-pounder. With extra cheese. Siri knows everything.

My apologies -- I posted this at the end of the thread in another discussion about this plugin, but because it is marked "resolved" I wanted to create a new "unresolved" topic so that Joost de Valk will hopefully be alerted to its creation.
I've noted in version 2.7 that the code is coming up before the body tag, not after it. The documentation at Google says it needs to be AFTER the body tag. Any plans to address this?
Also, I noticed that on my blog, which is in WordPress 2.6.3, that the spot on the plugin administration page where you can change the location from footer to header, presents the wrong question -- it says "Track full URL of outbound clicks or just the domain?", which is the incorrect question to be asking, of course.
Thanks for an otherwise reasonably smart plugin that I'm happy to have installed!

Why doesn't the logo image display on the HTML files when they are clicked on by a viewer? How can I fix this?
Thank you, Sally

After verbally being told up and down that my fiance and I could cancel our order "AT ANY TIME FOR ANY REASON", we were met w. great resistance when we tried to cancel. Not only that, when I called customer service I was either swore at, hung up on, or both! The direct quote from the customer service rep was "If you lower your d**n voice, I'll try to help you!"
I finally had to talk to the distributor who asked me why I wanted to cancel my order, I had to be frank. I told him, "Because the $90 cookware we bought at Walmart works just as well, if not better, than the $1300 stuff we bought from you" Of course he argued, but when I explained to him how his "easy to clean pan" didnt come clean after three runs through the dishwasher and 20 minutes of scrubbing w. the abrasive side of a sponge, he tried to change the subject. Complete schister!
I was finally able to cancel the order after sending them a check for what my fiance and I owed them. I also put the whole mess in a box and sent it back to them, but they are still calling me claiming they havent gotten it yet. I'll bet you $1,000 its sitting somewhere in receiving.
Bottom line..... if you are are an newly engaged couple, dont be fooled by these people!!!!!! It's not worth the hassle to try to get out of!!!

The Redding Ducky Derby Race in Redding's Caldwell Park is a unique event designed as a fund-raising opportunity for the Rotary Foundation Against Substance Abuse and local youth groups. Since its inception nearly 4 million dollars has been returned to local communities for youth development programs and drug- and alcohol-free activities. These programs have benefited countless young people in the North State.
For the 26th year, Redding East Rotary's Ducky Derby entertained visitors at Caldwell Park. There were 35,985 ducks adopted that raced down the 200 yard stretch of the Sacramento River from under the Diestlehorst Bridge to the awaiting nets. Crowds lined the banks to cheer on their ducks, then returned to the music stage and the North Valley Art League Art's & Craft Faire to hear the winner's announced.
The Lamp Family won the grand prize of Shasta Marina Houseboat Trip, plus $500 cash from Umpqua Bank. Ted Methvin Jr. won the Giant Giants Weekend provided courtesy of Interwest Insurance. Rikki Zepponi will be sporting a new Topaz jewelry set from Devon's Jewlers and Kim Gomes will be able to proudly display Charlie Clinkenbeard's beautiful Burlwood Bowl!
We are pleased to announce that it appears that we will again be able to return 100% to the local students who adopted out these ducks. The Rotary Foundation Against Substance Abuse has raised over $4 million since inception. These funds are used for substance abuse prevention and youth development programs throughout the North State Area.
"The community support for this event shows the commitment to our youth. In Kind Services and cash donations cover all the expenses of the race, which allows the Redding East Rotary to return these funds to the students. It is a proud partnership between the adults and youth of our community and further demonstrates what a wonderful and generous community we have here", said Marge Beck, Race Chairman
Redding East Rotary distributed over $180,000 today from the proceeds of the 26th annual Ducky Derby. Funds went to area schools and youth groups to benefit programs designed to stimulate youth development and substance abuse prevention. To date, the program has raised $4.3 million for our local kids!

Ducky Baby Shower Punch
One of the most rewarding things about blogging, is the friendships that are formed. Some I've been able to meet in person, but many I have not, but it doesn't stop us from being a huge support system for one another. We "get together" daily to chat, laugh, cry, vent, and support each other. (Skype is such an awesome tool!)
So it only makes sense that when one of us has something really huge to celebrate, we ALL want to celebrate!! No matter how many miles between us!
Today, we are throwing a SURPRISE virtual baby shower for a blogging friend.
The mom-to-be is expecting her fourth baby next week! A sweet baby boy. And we couldn't let it pass with out celebrating in a special way!
What's the first thing you think of when you think of a baby shower? Great food and there's always punch! When else do you get to sip a sugary filled colorful concoction out of tiny little cups?
I've been dying for an excuse to make this adorable Ducky Bath Punch! The blue Kool-Aid makes it look like bath water and the sherbet mixed with the ginger ale gives it "bath bubbles".
Ducky Baby Shower Punch Tips
UPDATE: I get emails all the time asking how to make this punch pink….but the whole point of the blue is for the water (not for boy/girl) pink water would no longer look like ducks in a bath, it would look like ducks in pink punch. I usually suggest if you really need it to look more girly, use pink ducks.…..but honestly if your shower theme is pink, and this is sitting in the middle, it will fit in just fine…blue water and all! HA
Blue Kool Aid – Look for Ice Blue Raspberry Lemonade or Berry Blue flavors
Also, not all rubber ducks will float – I bought bath tub rubber duckies from the baby department. Make sure your rubber ducks float!
Can't find Blue Kool Aid?
**Many people are having a problem finding blue Kool-Aid. A reader used berry blue typhoon Hawaiian Punch, ginger ale, white grape juice and sherbet… and NO SUGAR! (the Hawaiian Punch is sweetened so no more sugar is needed)
Ducky Baby Shower Punch Recipe
Summary: Adorable Ducky Bath Punch – The blue Kool-Aid makes it look like bath water and the sherbet mixed with the ginger ale gives it "bath bubbles".
- 1 packet blue, unsweetened Kool-Aid (Look for Ice Blue Raspberry Lemonade or Berry Blue flavors)
- 1 (2 liter) bottle Ginger Ale
- 1 (64 oz) bottle White Grape Juice
- 1 cup sugar
- 8 scoops pineapple sherbet
- 2-3 Rubber Duckies (make sure they float - bathtub toys)
- maraschino cherries (optional for garnish)
- orange slices (optional for garnish)
- Chill ginger ale and grape juice over night
- Remove sherbet from freezer about 1/2 hour before serving punch to soften
- In a large bowl, combine Kool-Aid packet, sugar and chilled juice. Stir to blend.
- Slowly add chilled ginger ale.
- Float 8 scoops of softened sherbet on top
- Add Rubber Duckies (don't forget to wash before using)
- garnish cups with cherries and orange slices
I**f you can't find Blue KoolAid then you can replace the KoolAid and sugar with Berry Blue Typhoon Hawaiian Punch. DO NOT ADD 1 CUP of sugar if you do this! The Hawaiian Punch already has sugar in it.
1 gallon bottle Hawaiian Punch Berry Blue 1 large can of White Grape Juice 1 (2 liter ) bottle of Ginger Ale (or Sprite) Pineapple Sherbet

I wish I could throw a baby shower just so I could serve this punch. I've never seen anything like it and it's adorable! I love how you guys threw this for Amanda. She is one of the nicest and sweetest people I "know".
This is so stinkin cute! Thanks for sharing such a great idea. You are truely one creative girl!
This whole idea warmed my heart and brought a smile to my face:-) It's so sweet how these online friendships can really develop into a way to touch each other's lives. All my best to Amanda!
It is so so cute!
What an adorable idea! The punch AND the party! How fun!!!
Like I told Bridget… you guys are so AMAZINGLY talented!! You are so inspirational to sooo many people!! How awesome for Amanda to have so many people who love her & to surprise her w/ a Virtual Baby Shower!! Only you guys could come up with something so BRILLIANT!! This punch is sooo stinkin cute…. can't wait make this!! (:
Oh how clever and adorable! I love that you guys are doing this for another blogger- such a neat development of these relationships! And I will definitely go check her out- tell me a girl's a baker and she's already won me over!! Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting on my blog! Hope you get to visit again soon! And I'm so glad you did stop by because your site is incredible and I am all giddy about being able to explore all of it now!
Seriously the coolest baby shower idea ever! I might find an excuse to make that punch even if there is no baby shower on the calendar.
This is so cute. I'm involved in putting on a little boy baby shower in a month or two. This will definitely be on the "to do" list!
I just did this for my daughters baby shower and all the people there loved the punch and the ducks
were you able to find blue, unsweetened jello?
I made this punch for a shower and it was great! Didn't change a thing and it was so adorable! I even put a few pink ducks for big sister in there!
I LOVE THIS!!!!!! I would love for you to link up to my very first link party!
I LOVE this idea! Wish I had seen it sooner! I just did a ducky baby shower. I'll def remember this for next time! 🙂
This is beyond darling, Cheryl! I featured this on my weekly Wednesday's Wowzers:
Thanks for inspiring!
That punch is amazing! I am bookmarking for one day!
Hi 🙂 I'm a new reader and love your site. My son and DIL are having a baby shower in 2 weeks, (Their first baby!) and this punch will be perfect! Thank you so much for sharing it.
That punch is so cute. I'm due with my first in June. How can I nicely forward this to my friend throwing my shower?
The cutest baby shower punch EVER!
The punch looks great! And you were right. It is a lot like the one I posted. Ducks and all!
lol how cute, nice :)_
I love this punch! What a great idea for a baby shower.
I made a pink version of this and linked back to your post!
Thank you for the idea!
Could you send me what you used for the pink version?
Oh wow!! We're throwing a party for my son this Saturday and THAT is what I'm gonna be doing for my guests 🙂 One question though, I live in Quebec Canada, I've been to about 20 supermarkets and it's absolutely impossible to find blue Kool-Aid!! So I was thinking of using blue Gatorade instead, you think it could work??
Also, how long those the punch look as good as on your picture? I mean before the sherbet all melts and blends with the rest?? Does it still look nice afterwards or does it turn into a weird looking punch?? (if so I guess we'll just have to drink it faster :))
thanks in advance!
Hey – i just came across this pic/blog while trying to find a Shower Punch recipe…thought it was SO ADORABLE! however…are you sure pouring the gingerale first then putting the sherbet in makes the frothy foam? Hmm…or should i put the sherbet in first then the soda? it just seems to me it would froth MORE if i did that rather than putting the sherbet in last. No? I guess looking at the pic you place the spoonfuls of sherbit on top of the froth like lil clouds…though, so maybe. I just want to INSURE this works properly bc it's SOOO CUTE!!! Do you think this could work if i Just did gingerale and sherbet…maybe used pineapple or lemon sherbet and used food coloring for the blue? i dunno about the kool-aid…
We just had this punch at my baby shower. My best friend made it exactly how this recipe lists it (minus the garnish). Since we've made a Christmas punch where you pour the ginger ale over a block of sherbet, she was very skeptical about the foam…but it turned out just like in the picture. And the foam didn't really "melt away" into it, either. The punch didn't stay cold for the whole two hours, but we're Down South and just added ice cubes. 🙂
this punch is the greatest idea! I LOVE it! Thanks so much for the recipe!
I made this today for my brother in law's shower and it was very good. The blue was perfect, as they are expecting twin boys. We used plates printed with pastel rubber duckies on a blue bubble background. The fruit arrangement was from Edible Arrangements, and was in a yellow duck container.
I also made a similar punch in pink for my daughter's one year birthday, floating about a dozen little pink rubber ducks wearing birthday hats that I purchased at the party store.
This is definitely an eye catcher – getting lots of compliments.
I plan on making this for my daughters birthday party: Ernie's Rubber Ducky Punch (sesame st theme) …..I can't find pineapple sherbet. Do you think I could use orange and have the same yummy result?
Can anyone tell me where you got the sherbet? I've been looking all over and can't find any…I'm going to be truly disappointed if I can't make this for my daughter's party….its so cute!
Wal-mart, Marsh (Indiana)
I love this idea. I have a baby shower coming up in March for my niece. This is her first child and it is a girl.. I have been thinking of what to serve and I love this punch… Just have to make it pink. Thanks so much for sharing this.
So very cute!!! Just love it. This is one for my recipe file
Hi….just wanted to mention that we made this punch last weekend for my daughters baby shower. (She's having a boy) it was a huge success and we received tons of compliments on it. We served it in pint sized mason jars with "its a boy " ribbons toed around them and blue and white polka dotted straws. The mason jars also served as a party favor. Unique and inexpensive! It was a big hit!
Did you use sugar free jello or Knox?
Can you use 7 up instead of Ginger ale
If it was for a little girl, why not paint little pink bows on the little ducks? In a non-toxic pain, of course! LOVE this idea!!
Can't wait to make this for my step-daughter's baby shower! She saw it and feel in love with it! Thanks for the great idea!!
Does anyone know if blue food coloring will work? I can't find blue Kool Aid.
what makes it foam ? does it always do that ? id love to make some
Help! I am wanting to make this for a shower this weekend but I can't find blue kool aid anywhere! I'm in Texas. I've tried HEB, WalMart and Kroger.
Made this punch today for a year old baby party and everyone raved over it !!!! I thought I had picked up the blue koi laid packet but had grabed the mixed berry and it obviously was not blue but pink in color, but with the way people raved over it, I think it was just fine!!! Wil definetly use again!!!
Do you think this could be doubled in made in a baby bathtub, or would the plastic not work well?
Uh-oh! Blue Kool-Aid packets are impossible to find! I substituted already made blue Hawaiian Punch for the white grape juice. Very tasty!
Oops. Didn't realize this finding was already posted. My bad!
so cute !!!
I made this for my sister-in-law's baby shower I threw her last night and not only was it ADORABLE and a huge hit, it was YUMMY too! I couldn't find any plain yellow rubber duckies anywhere but Bath and Body Works carries some really cute ones with patterns on them and it looked fantastic! So much fun! Thanks for the idea!
I want to make this for my baby shower this weekend! Does anyone know te flavor or the blue kool aid? Please and thank you!
I picked up a flavor called Mixed Berry at Walmart today, and its blue.
Great Idea. I used it at my daughter's Baby Shower. We did experiment with the recipe before using it. BEWARE of using white grape juice and the ginger ale. They both have a yellow tint to them and they turn the blue kool aid green. Also, BEWARE of what kind of koolaid you purchase. It will turn your teeth and tongue blue. I don't think your guests would appreciate that! This is what we used to substitute. Blue Hawiian Punch and Sprite.
This is in response to "Baby Shower". Could you give me your exact recipe where you used the Blue Hawaiian Punch and Sprite will the exact directions. I am wanting to make this soon and think it will be great. Could you email me directly at email@example.com. Thanks so much. I can't wait to make this. Jannis
I made this recipe and used tropical punch koolaid and it turned out great so for those of you throwing a baby shower for a girl baby you could use tropical punch koolaid instead of the blue. it is kinda a red color but its not blue and it tasted great.
How many cups did you get out of this? We are having 50 people.
Helped plan a baby shower last Saturday, and this punch was a hit! I used rainbow sherbert and it all sort of swirled together after a couple hours and look very pretty. And tasted delicious
I just got done serving this ducky punch about 4 minutes ago at a staff baby shower and it was perfect. I can't believe how well it came it. So freaking geeked!!
i would love to do this for my sons first birthday! Thanks for the recipe, but I have not been able to find pineapple sherbet is there something else you can use? Thanks again for the cool idea.
i made this punch and everyone enjoyed it, made it for my sons Elmo birthday party
Is the pedestal glass cake plate yours? Do you know anything about it? How old it is? I have one also and don't know its history. … love the ducky punch idea!
hosted a baby shower , very cute idea !!! I served it in a pink baby bath with duckies around it and a blow up duck next to it , makes a great present when done
What punch packet did you use to make it pink?
You can also find a large variety of different kinds of rubber ducks on the Oriental Trading Company website…literally, any kind of rubber duck you want is there!
Can this punch be made using alcohol? Will that affect the suds?
I make a punch similar to this for New Years Eve. 2, 2 liters bottles of ginger ale, 7up or sprite, 1 bottle 750 ml champagne and a small tub of sherbert. I use rainbow. Light, refreshing and very frothy. Nice way to welcome the new year! 🙂

Feedback from the Synopsys user community clearly demonstrates the three major concerns of chip designers today. Power management is top of the list in terms of design challenges, followed closely by increasing design size and complexity, and the consequent implications for performance.
The third issue, though ¢ and according to SynopsysÆ research more important than any other ¢ is a relative newcomer to engineersÆ lists of concerns: productivity. Its addition is a direct result of the focus on cost, because designers are under pressure not only to produce results more quickly, but also more predictably.
The Power Challenge
The need to manage both dynamic and leakage power is now so important that it touches every aspect of chip design. Process technology and EDA tools are, of course, key. But low power is also an essential factor in IP quality, whether commercial or custom-developed, and of overall design methodology.
In essence, low power design is a ōwhole flow issueö, a fact that has driven the development of the EclypseÖ Low Power Solution at Synopsys. Supporting the open methodologies described in the Low Power Methodology Manual (LPMM) co-authored by Synopsys and ARM«, the solution encompasses system-level design, implementation, verification and sign-off tools, as well as IP and design services.
Figure 1. Eclypse Low Power Methodology
The aim is to combine and automate a wide range of advanced low-power techniques, methodologies and standards in a coherent fashion: not least to make sense of the inevitable trade-offs between power, speed, area and yield.
Specific technologies deployed in the Eclypse Low Power Solution include enhanced clock gating, low-power clock tree synthesis, multi-threshold leakage optimization and automated power switch insertion. Just as important, however, is the use of the Unified Power Format (UPF), an industry-standard format which is employed to capture low power design requirements. By describing power design intent in a standards-based fashion, UPF is instrumental in allowing the ōwhole flowö approach that chip designers require.
Verification Remains Key
Of course, specific tools and areas of the design flow are key contributors to the accumulation of improvements in power performance. Surprisingly to some, verification proves to be as important a contributor as any other ¢ perhaps for the very reason that it has traditionally not been seen as a power-oriented discipline.
One of the major sources of challenge for verification comes in dealing with multi-voltage (MV) designs. Traditional functional simulation tools do not ōknowö about voltage. Even ōpower awareö simulators that model power shut-down states ignore specific voltage levels. They may therefore miss voltage-related bugs.
Static rule checking as provided by SynopsysÆ MVRC can be used to detect corner case MV bugs and provide checks against structural as well as architectural errors. And, to make functional simulation itself voltage-aware, engineers can make use of the MVSIM voltage-aware co-simulator. Together, the two tools can be used to find power management bugs that previously would not have shown up until silicon debug.
Working on the same Verilog/VHDL netlist and testbench as the functional simulation tool, MVSIM understands the waveform nature of voltage changes, producing more accurate simulation results and better coverage. In addition, MVSIM allows the power intent to be specified in UPF, and automatically creates thousands of assertions for common errors such as missing level shifters and power gates.
The Implementation Flow
If low power is surprising in its impact upon verification, it is fair to say that in the implementation flow, it is every bit as important as one might expect. Again, standards-based data interchange via UPF is vital to ensure that many different tools are tightly aligned and integrated.
The first area in which power has had an impact is in synthesis. Placement-awareness at the synthesis stage is now necessary to deliver not only the required timing and area specifications, but also to ensure that the final design will conform to tight power requirements.
This tighter integration between synthesis and place-and-route (P&R) delivers higher correlation with final placement results, avoiding synthesis iterations.
The drive to low power is also reflected in P&R tools themselves. Designers need to be able to account for the impact of P&R decisions on the power consumption of the final chip: more, the P&R tool must offer support in power network design.
Identifying the best power network before P&R and sign-off can avoid significant numbers of design iterations. In the past engineers have been forced to design their power net based on educated guesswork, followed by a trial passage through the back-end flow. Today, however, it is possible to specify a list of possible solutions that can be used as the basis of rapid estimations of IR-drop and area. Because these estimations correlate well with final results, the engineer can identify the best starting point for power network optimization.
Automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) tools are another vital element in the low-power flow. Test engineers have always been aware of the danger that, by implementing a scenario that may never occur in real life, they may damage chips on the tester. For instance, a camera phone may be designed so that the camera and phone are never simultaneously operating: whereas a test suite could quite easily test the two functionalities at the same time. Power-aware ATPG must therefore consider both the power consumed by test pattern data being shifted into the device, and also the power consumed once the pattern is loaded and the design is clocked.
Finally, sign-off becomes more important than ever in low power designs, because it is necessary to analyze timing, signal integrity (SI) and power concurrently to avoid a lengthy iterative process. These optimizations are often in direct conflict with each other, and are a particular problem in designs that use dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) to implement a wide range of operating modes with various power profiles. Concurrent multi-corner, multi-mode (MCMM) analysis is vital in these cases.
As for a standard design, a low-power design must use equivalency checking at sign-off. But in this case, there are two ōgoldenö files to be checked against: RTL for design intent, and UPF for power intent. And, of course, power distribution needs to be checked for IR drops, hot-spots and possible electromigration effects, to ensure that sufficient power can be delivered to all parts of the circuit at all times.
Performance and Productivity Intertwine
All of these techniques and tools answer new technical challenges. And yet the number one concern for designers is not now a technical one, it is a business one. It is productivity.
As we have already observed, productivity is as much as anything about designing to strict project timescales. For the EDA industry, the most obvious way to help designers in this regard is to improve toolsÆ performance. This is not just about faster runtimes and better memory utilization (although the 35 percent improvement attained in these metrics by a tool like IC Compiler in 2007 is a major boost). It is also about focusing improvements on the most challenging aspects of design.
Figure 2. Improvement in IC Compiler Runtimes of 35%
In these areas, the greatest gains are delivered not by changes to the tools themselves, but in improving how the tools are used. Better scripting in IC Compiler can deliver much greater gains ¢ up to two times better performance for a challenging design. This fact emphasizes the importance of service and support to any EDA offering: in most cases performance improvements are ōjust a phone call awayö, the result of closer interaction between designers and support staff.
Some parts of the flow are still developing rapidly in terms of sheer performance: in particular lithography, only relatively recently coming into the EDA fold, and an extremely compute-intensive set of processes. Amongst the challenges here are the need to execute multiple computational steps sequentially, and the huge amount of data ¢ measured in terabytes at 32nm ¢ required to describe the design.
New technology has brought improvements in both these respects. Data bottlenecks are avoided by allowing some portions of the design to take place without data interchange. And by intelligently partitioning the task, some of the processes can be implemented in parallel ¢ for instance mask data preparation and optical proximity correction.
Harnessing the power of multi-core processors also allows EDA tools to ōpiggybackö on advances in more general-purpose computing. A product such as HSPICE« 2008.03, for instance, provides improvements on two fronts. It includes a new matrix solver and exploits multi-threading capabilities. For mixed-signal designs with parasitics, HSPICE with the new solver averages a three-times speed-up on a single processor core. But the new multi-threading capability running on four cores delivers an additional two-times speedup, for a total of greater than six-times speedup.
Productivity ōin the flowö
Producing better performing tools is an essential contribution to designer productivity. But, like power consumption, productivity is a ōwhole flow issueö. The key is ensuring that the flow produces predictable results; and the way to guarantee that is to make certain that each step in the design process is a step towards a successful project conclusion.
Making sure that each stage is, literally, productive, means that the top steps in the flow must have knowledge about succeeding steps. Not total knowledge, but enough to ensure that later steps do not have to re-do ¢ or worse undo ¢ work that has been done earlier in the flow.
TodayÆs flow is full of examples of this tighter integration between tools. For instance, a P&R-aware synthesis tool is not only useful in optimizing for timing, power and area, it can also be used to identify areas of routing congestion, and to enable subsequent process steps to optimize that congestion away. Meanwhile, the P&R tools themselves need to know about manufacturing and signal integrity issues, without themselves becoming to slow or complex to be useful.
Even so, occasionally it becomes possible to implement a valuable improvement by automating a single optimization step. This is the case with SynopsysÆ MinChip automated die size reduction technology. This is designed to preserve user intent, while delivering the smallest possible routable area in a single-pass process that takes just a few hours. Many customers are seeing 5-10 percent shrinkage, a reduction that is passed straight to the bottom line.
Methodology is another valuable contributor to enhanced productivity, nowhere more so than in verification, where the Verification Methodology Manual captures an ever-broader set of information on how to efficiently complete the process. The recently introduced VMM-LP manual is the industryÆs first verification methodology for low-power designs. It provides a low-power perspective on verification planning, and outlines best-practice rules and guidelines.
Increasingly, much of the verification methodology best practice is itself the subject of automation. For example, it is now possible to provide firmer metrics on the completeness of the verification process; and to automatically check for compliance with language restrictions within a design.
Enhancements to the Synopsys verification portfolio have extended its reach to provide embedded software and system validation. The demand for verification performance that is orders of magnitude higher than is possible with software simulation, has made prototyping in FPGAs a verification methodology that is used on virtually every ASIC/ASSP design today. ConfirmaÖ makes prototyping a mainstream verification solution by providing a complete flow with tightly-integrated hardware and software components that complements any existing verification flow.
IP Still Developing
Of course, commercial IP continues to have a massive impact on designer productivity. There is a constant race towards lower power, smaller footprint and newer technologies, with a parallel need to maintain consummate quality. As a result, verification is absolutely vital in this area.
In many cases, productivity is increased as much by commonality of design as by innovation. Examples of this are the recent focus on easing the transition between PCI, PCI-X and PCI-Express; the move to DDR3 memory; and the launch of both 1T and 6T embedded memory solutions.
Analog and Mixed Signal
One of the most striking features of many recent EDA developments is the meeting of different disciplines: for instance the need to treat digital signals as waveforms for power purposes; and to make digital design tools aware of the physics of manufacturing a device.
Such trends are also reflected in designs themselves, where analog and mixed signal (AMS) blocks are becoming increasingly important. We have added two key capabilities to the GalaxyÖ Platform that provide schematic capture for AMS and custom designs, and a feature-rich custom layout editor. Now the Galaxy Implementation Platform, with Custom Designer LE and Custom Designer SE, supports both cell-based and custom design.
Figure 3. Custom Designer for AMS Design
The new Synopsys custom design solutions are designed to be familiar to most AMS designers, while adding new features such as the ability to bring up multiple designs simultaneously, and a virtually unlimited un-do facility. It is compatible with TCL, Python and C++, and integrates with the existing Synopsys tool flow, including the HSPICE and NanoSim« simulators.
Aart de Geus
Since co-founding Synopsys in 1986, Dr. Aart de Geus has expanded Synopsys from a start-up synthesis enterprise to a world leader in electronic design automation (EDA). As a technology visionary, he is frequently asked to speak on topics related to the electronics industry. As one of the leading experts on logic simulation and logic synthesis, Dr. de Geus was made a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in January 1999. He was also honored for pioneering the commercial logic synthesis market by being named the third recipient ever to receive the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Industrial Pioneer Award. In 2002, shortly after transacting the largest merger in EDA history, Dr. de Geus was named CEO of the Year by Electronic Business magazine; and in 2004, Entrepreneur of the Year in IT for Northern California by Ernst & Young. In November 2005, Electronic Business magazine chose Dr. de Geus as one of "The 10 Most Influential Executives." Dr. de Geus is active in the business community as a member of the board of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group (SVLG), TechNet, the Fabless Semiconductor Association (FSA), and as Chairman of the Electronic Design Automation Consortium (EDAC). He is also heavily involved in education for the next generation, having created in 1999 the Synopsys Outreach Foundation, which promotes project-based science and math learning throughout Silicon Valley.

A Georgia politician has cleared the first step in pushing a new bill that would create the nation's first online lottery.
State Representative Ron Stephens says he wants to increase lottery revenues by any means necessary. The Savannah republican says his proposal comes at a time when people are just not playing the state sponsored "Game of Chance" as much as they have in the past.
Since 1993, Georgia's lottery has generated more than $20 billion in ticket sales through its' 7,500 retailers across the state.
On average, lottery players are offered as many as 40-to-45 different instant game style choices.
But, to show how bad things have gotten, demands from the 11-year-old lottery funded Hope Scholarship Program are allegedly outpacing the money that's being generated by ticket sales.
Georgia's Senate will soon have a say on the Stephens bill.
