How to turn a potato chip bag into a pencil case. It works for any kind of waterproof wrapper - I've even made this as a wristlet pouch ...
Materials: - chip bag - zipper - 2 pieces of fabric for lining - 2 pieces of vinyl
Place zipper, right-side up, on lining, right-side up. Line up the top edges.
Place vinyl on top, lining up top edges.
Place chip bag on top, wrong-side up. Line up the top edges.
Use the zipper foot. Sew through all layers at the top edge.
Flip the vinyl and chip bag to the front, and the lining to the back. Finger press.
Top-stitch the zipper.
Place sewn piece on other piece of lining fabric, right-side up (the lining is right-side up).
Place vinyl on top. Line up all top edges.
Place chip bag on top, wrong-side up. Line up top edges.
Sew through all layers of the top edge.
Open up the piece so that the zipper is exposed on both sides. Top-stitch near the zipper.
Open the zipper, and place a scrap piece of paper on the vinyl. The paper keeps the vinyl from sticking together.
Open up the piece so that the vinyl/chip bag sides are touching and lined up, and the fabric lining sides are touching and lined up.
Use the regular presser foot. Sew around, leaving an opening (sewing path is highlighted). Trim excess fabric and vinyl/chip bag.
Turn inside out, discard scrap paper, and sew up hole in lining.

Christmas is about being with the ones we love.
It's about celebrating the birth of Christ above.
Christmas isn't about the gifts that we receive.
It's about showing love and kindness to people; that's what I believe.
Even if you get no gifts, you still have your friends and family who love you.
A person who is loved is truly blessed; that's something no gift can do.

Using their knowledge and expertise in the field of aviation, researchers from the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) have developed innovative ideas for wind turbine rotors. During the Hannover Trade Fair, which will take place from 25 to 29 April 2016, they will demonstrate how their intelligent rotor blades adapt to wind loads.
In 1999, the European Commission launched the Single European Sky (SES) programme to ensure that national airspaces grow together to create a more unified and efficient pan-European airspace. Together with the Netherlands Aerospace Centre (Nationaal Lucht- en Ruimtevaartlaboratorium; NLR), the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) has become a member of the EU Single European Sky ATM (Air Traffic Management) research programme, known as SESAR 2020. The aim of SESAR 2020 is to develop new systems for the unification of European airspace and meet the challenges of increasing air traffic.
The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) is showcasing its current research projects in the field of high-performance fibre-reinforced composites from 8-10 March 2016 at the JEC World Composites Show & Conferences in Paris, the leading specialised world exhibition and conference for composite materials.
Components made of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) are increasingly being used to make aircraft lighter, more comfortable and more economical. In order to make these aircraft even safer and facilitate their maintenance, the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) has built a large aircraft component out of CFRP, as part of the EU Smart Intelligent Airframe Structures (SARISTU) project. The component can provide information about the size and location of any damage.
Larger and more powerful engines are making flying more efficient. These gigantic main engines take up more space on the wings of modern passenger aircraft. However, they influence the flow over the wing surface and reduce lift.
The students cheered – the DECAN (Deutsche CanSat Höhenrakete) research rocket took off from the Esrange Space Center in north Sweden at 02:53 on 27 October 2015 and proceeded to reach an altitude of roughly 5.5 kilometres. The rocket was designed, built and launched by a team of students from Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin) as part of the new STERN (Studentische Experimental-Raketen) German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) programme.
The Air Traffic Management Institute (ATMRI) of Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore was officially inaugurated on 20 August 2015. An air traffic simulation centre forms the core of the new institute.
Alternative fuels have the potential to support the environment- and climate-friendly developments in air transport. At present, global air traffic contributes towards almost five percent of global warming. In addition to the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, condensation trails and the resulting cirrus clouds lead to a significant climate impact.
From 9 September 2015, test flights are taking place on three consecutive days in a simulated disaster scenario as part of the EU's 'Driving Innovations in Crisis Management for European Resilience' (DRIVER) project. Harrowing scenes are being simulated in Braunschweig on those days. A major flood has covered a wide area around the Tankumsee, a lake near Gifhorn; surrounding roads are also affected and people are stranded in the water.
Researchers at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) are researching a morphing wing trailing edge that can be smoothly transformed into any shape and will make conventional flaps redundant. The flaps on the wings of today's commercial airliners are actuated via a complicated mechanism. Their arrangement and the resulting gap when they are extended compromises the aerodynamics, increases fuel consumption and contributes to inflight noise. The new technology, on the other hand, is flexible, its movement being based on that of carnivorous plants. This enables the gap between the wing and the flap to be eliminated.

Curious George Shower Cake
by JessicaB
(Ann Arbor, MI )
I baked 3 8inch layers of dark chocolate cake and added chocolate chips to the mix. The filling was a bittersweet chocolate ganache and the outer frosting was buttercream. I made a red frosting first with Wilton no taste red, but ended up buying Americolor Red-red to get it deeper. (it took probably at least 2 tsp full total). I piped yellow shells and used an image of George balancing on a ball as my inspiration. I had to mostly hand draw him but did try to use brown piping gel on waxed paper (taped atop the image) and did a reverse image onto the cake. It wasn't detailed enough but helped get the dimensions right. Then I placed banana candies around the cake to help "pretty" it up. This was for my sisters baby shower so I just piped "welcome Aubrie" on the top. This is just my second attempt at making cakes for others so it's been a work in progress.

Coolest Curious George Birthday Cake Design 67
I made this Curious George Birthday Cake Design for a 2 year old's birthday. I used regular cake mix and store bought frosting (2 years old's don't know the difference). I used a Pyrex bowl to make the body and the sports ball pan to make the head.
Using a picture from a kid's book as a guide, I made the face out of fondant. The ears and hands are also fashioned from fondant which I colored using Wilton paste colorings. The arms were made from Rice Krispies Treats which I formed and then frosted. I used tooth picks to attach all appendages. I pushed a wooden dowel down from the head through the entire cake to ensure it held together.
By George, he was a big hit.

Homemade Curious George Birthday Cake
I made this Homemade Curious George Birthday Cake for my grandson's first birthday. He was fascinated by Curious George on TV. I used a combination of designs from cakes on the Coolest Cake website. It was my first attempt at using fondant. I had always used icing with decorative tips. The fondant is so much easier to work with and less messy!
The cakes used were plain white cakes with butter cream icing used as the glue for the fondant. I colored my own fondant, but then resorted to buying the pre-made colored fondant because the colors were rich, dark and easier to use. The cake was 6 batches of cake mix. Next, I am tackling a Thomas the Train Cake for birthday number 2!

Coolest Curious George Birthday Cake 62
by Adam
This Curious George Birthday Cake was done for my godson for his second birthday. It is a 12x18 marble cake. I found a coloring page for George from the internet and cut it out, and outlined the picture into the background icing.
I then filled in the various parts of the picture with the different colors. George was originally holding something else, so I iced in a gift box. I finished off the cake by making palm trees and doing the edging.

(Austin, TX)
My homemade Curious George Birthday cake was a chocolate one with chocolate cream cheese icing.
The polka dots were simply candy melts pressed into icing. George's head, the number 2, the nameplate, bananas and yellow hat were handmade from home tinted fondant. The number 2 and George's head had toothpicks inserted into the fondant so they could be stuck into the cake.

Berkshire Hathaway Company Information
TTI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, Inc..
Read the March 30, 2007 Press Release | Learn more about Berkshire Hathaway.
History of Berkshire Hathaway
The history of Berkshire Hathaway dates back to 1888, with The Hathaway Manufacturing Company, a thriving cotton milling business, located in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Hathaway was successful for several decades but after World War I the textile industry suffered a significant decline.
In 1955, The Hathaway Company took a historic turn and merged with Berkshire Fine Spinning Associates, another cotton milling company. The new company thrived for some time but by the 1950s the company had fallen on hard times. In 1962, Warren Buffett became involved with the company and eventually took control of Berkshire Hathaway. For some time the company stayed true to its core business but soon fell vulnerable to increasing foreign competition and discontinued its role in the textile business.
In the late 1960s, Buffett ventured into the insurance business and purchased two Nebraska companies, National Indemnity and National Fire and Marine Insurance. This first investment in the insurance industry gave rise to the super legend of today. In 1996, Buffett acquired GEICO General Insurance Company and the GEICO gecko soon became a national icon.
Today, Buffett's holdings include insurance and finance subsidiaries and a host of almost fifty businesses ranging from jewelry and furniture to manufactured homes.

"Hit the Baths Early" Danubius Hotel Gellert Tip by OnTheRoadGoombah
Danubius Hotel Gellert, Budapest: 4,994 reviews and 34 photos
I stayed at the Gellert in 2005 and found it very charming. I was traveling alone and got a junior room -- which is barely bigger than the twin sized bed in it. It didn't matter as the bed was comfortable and I didn't spend much time in the room at all. The junior room was relatively inexpensive and was a great bargain.
By staying at the hotel, you have free access to the world famous Gellert Baths. Since I went in November, the warm baths were welcome relief. My only note of caution would be to go to the Baths early in the morning. I went down around 6:30 am and enjoyed the warm mineral baths. After I had gone sightseeing and got cold, I thought it might be relaxing to head back down there -- bad mistake. The water in the afternoon dod not resemble the clean clear water that I enjoyed in the morning.
Unique Qualities: In addition to the baths, the bartender downstairs was extremely helpful. I have learned never to ask concierges for recommendations, but instead to ask the cleaning staff or bartender. I asked my bartender where he would go out to eat with his wife and three kids for a traditional Hungarian meal.
So instead of being directed to an overpriced tourist trap, he recommended a nice family style restaurant near the Gellert. He even gave me instructions on riding the trolley to the restaurant. As soon as I find my receipt, I will share the name of the erstaurant with you...my loyal readers!

"We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know it for the first time."
-T.S. Eliot
Yesterday we held our quarterly firm meeting in Stamford, CT. It was by all accounts a very successful day. We introduced new employees, celebrated recent wins and also contemplated strategic shifts to keep Hedgeye moving forward.
As an aside, it also coincided with my personal favorite day of the year, April Fool's Day. Unlike those April Fool's days of prior years, like when I fired Keith one year, this year's joke was more benign, though we did manage to "suck" a few people in again. For those that didn't see the faux press release about Wall Street 2.0: Hedgeye the Movie, it can be found here.
So at the company meeting, a key topic of discussion was how to generate contagious content / ideas. For those that didn't know, the term, "content is king", was first used in 1994 and then popularized by Bill Gates in an essay about two years later. So, as ideas go, the idea of content is king is not new, but it is certainly contagious.
Back to the Global Macro Grind...
In my mind, activist investment ideas are examples of ideas that need to become contagious before they become successful. Yesterday activist Starboard filed a presentation outlining the potential for Darden Restaurants ($DRI). A key take away from the presentation is that the Company's EBITDA margins are at 7.4% versus the industry median of 10.3%.
As many of you know, Darden is also currently a favorite of Restaurant Sector head Howard Penney and is on our Best Ideas list. As a result, Starboard was kind enough to reference our work on Darden in their presentation. Specifically, they referenced a recent poll that we did:
"According to a recent poll conducted by sell-side research firm Hedgeye Risk Management, 84% of respondents said that they did not believe that management's plan to spin-off Red Lobster would create value."
We actually have created a polling product to specifically gauge sentiment and opinion in a more quantified fashion, which has, obviously, also had the derivative impact of creating contagious content.
Included in the Starboard presentation as well was this tweet from Penney:
"$DRI management shuts me out of another earnings call. Running out of time is not an excuse. @jannarone article on #CNBC was $$"
This point goes to the crux of Penney's thesis on Darden, which is that management operates in a vacuum and is totally unwilling to listen to new ideas, especially from analysts that may disagree with them. Ignoring great ideas is the death knoll for any company. If you'd like to learn more about our thesis on Darden before it goes too viral, please email .
While we are on the topic of contagious content, I thought it would be worth highlighting an essay that Warren Buffett wrote for Fortune in 1977 (back when periodicals like Fortune still published essays):
"There is no mystery at all about the problems of bondholders in an era of inflation. When the value of the dollar deteriorates month after month, a security with income and principal payments denominated in those dollars isn't going to be a big winner. You hardly need a Ph.D. in economics to figure that one out.
It was long assumed that stocks were something else. For many years, the conventional wisdom insisted that stocks were a hedge against inflation. The proposition was rooted in the fact that stocks are not claims against dollars, as bonds are, but represent ownership of companies with productive facilities. These, investors believed, would retain their Value in real terms, let the politicians print money as they might.
And why didn't it turn but that way? The main reason, I believe, is that stocks, in economic substance, are really very similar to bonds."
As you can see this basic concept that we have been pounding on, which is that when a currency is devalued that devaluation naturally creates inflation in dollar denominated asset classes, is not new. Neither is the idea that at a point, this inflation begins to negatively impact economic growth, which has the potential to have a negative impact on the returns of those assets classes levered to economic growth.
Certainly, of course, we aren't suggesting we are in the midst of 1970s style inflation. Or, frankly, on the path to that any day soon, but commodity inflation is here, is persistent and is likely to be sticky. Most notably on the inflation front is what is happening to food (you know that stuff we eat).
In the chart of the day below, we've compared the performance of consumer discretionary stocks in the year-to-date versus the CRB Index versus the BLS Foodstuff Index. For those that can't read the fine print, I'll give you the punch line. The CRB commodity index is up more than 7% in the year-to-date, the BLS Foodstuff Index is up more than 20%, and consumer discretionary stocks are down on the year.
As Warren Buffett might say, you don't need an economics PH.D. to see that correlation!

This note was originally published at 8am on March 19, 2014 for Hedgeye subscribers.
"I am sometimes a fox and sometimes a lion. The whole secret in government lies in knowing when to be one or the other."
-Napolean Bonaparte
The old farm yard analogy of a fox licking its chops and entering the proverbial hen house can likely be applied to many current situations. On the global macro front the situation in the Ukraine and stand-off, of sorts, between the West and Vladmir Putin is likely the most relevant.
Certainly, the foxes in the Kremlin are licking their chops since annexing the former Soviet territory of Crimea. Is this the beginning of another Cold War? It is likely not. But the ineffectiveness in combating the Russian move certainly increases the likelihood of additional and more aggressive moves by the Russians. (By ineffectiveness, I read yesterday that the current, proposed sanctions by the U.S. would freeze the assets of a mere seven Russian citizens.)
Late yesterday, the first fatality occurred as a Ukrainian military base in Crimea was overtaken by Russian / Crimean troops. Albeit only one serviceman was shot, and reports are still conflicted as to how and by whom, the response by the leadership in the Ukraine is to now allow their military to use force as needed in Crimea.
Perhaps most telling yesterday was Vladmir Putin's hour long speech, specifically this excerpt:
"Our Western partners headed by the United States prefer not to be guided by international law in their practical policies, but by the rule of the gun. They have come to believe in their exceptionalism and their sense of being the chosen ones. That they can decide the destinies of the world, that it is only them that can be right."
Clearly, the old Russian fox Putin is licking his lips.
Back to the Global Macro Grind . . .
Assuming hostilities don't accelerate in Crimea, the most significant impact from the annexation of Crimea by Russia is likely to be on the upcoming midterm elections. The media has been very clearly painting President Obama and his administration to have been ineffective in dealing with the Russians and Obama's approval rating is starting to reflect as much.
According to the RealClearPolitics approval aggregate, Obama's disapproval rating is now 52 and his approval rating is 43, for a spread of 9. Gallup runs the longest running approval poll and the spread in that poll is even wider. Currently, according to Gallup, Obama's approval is at 41. This is the worst approval rating of Obama's Presidency and lower than President George W. Bush at the same time in his Presidency.
The fact that President Obama's approval rating is in free fall is likely to be felt by the Democrats in the upcoming midterms. In fact, the generic congressional poll aggregate, which effectively asks the respondent to say whether they would vote Republican or Democrat in congressional races, is basically tied (with the Republicans actually leading in some polls). This is an inflection point as the Democrats have led in this generic poll very consistently since the last mid-term elections.
Speaking of polls, yesterday our daily Hedgeye poll asked, "Are you feeling the price pinch at the breakfast table?" More than 75% of the respondents responded, yes. This obviously shouldn't be a surprise given the fact that coffee, orange juice and lean hog prices have had almost parabolic moves in the year-to-date. Of course, for those consumers who don't eat breakfast (or eat for that matter), they may yet be immune to food based inflation!
As my colleague Christian Drake highlighted yesterday in an intraday note, inflation is also percolating in other parts of the economy. Specifically, CPI Services growth continues to hold above 2% and the growth trend looks similar even if you strip out the Shelter and Energy components of the Index.
Even as most consumers are seeing inflation, the bigger question will be whether the Fed sees it. Fed Chair Janet Yellen will get a chance to address this in her first news conference today at 2:30 pm (following the Fed statement at 2:00 pm). Certainly the stock market is seeing the consumer getting squeezed as well, as the consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors are both down on the year.
Speaking of the stock market, despite the somewhat tepid return in the year-to-date, (the SP500 is only up just over 1% in the year-to-date and most major markets are down on the year), the latest US Investor's Intelligence poll shows that a predominance of investors remain bullish.
According to the poll:
- Bearish sentiment is unchanged at 17.4%;
- Those expecting a market correction increases to 30.6% from 27.5%; and
- Bullish sentiment decreases to 52.0% from 55.1%.
To be fair, it is likely difficult to envision much of a correction when the stock market is barely up on the year, but nonetheless investor complacency, at least based on this polls, seems noteworthy to say the least.

Takeaway: A Starboard investor presentation was deservedly highly critical of Darden's current management team and is a must-read.
Starboard released an investor presentation this morning, detailing its analysis of Darden management and the proposed Red Lobster spin-off. Starboard believes Darden's real estate portfolio is worth approximately $4 billion and that separating Red Lobster and its real estate from Darden's portfolio would destroy approximately $850 million in value.
The presentation was deservedly highly critical of Darden's current management team and is a must-read for interested parties. Below, we highlight what we believe are the most important quotes from the 100+ page deck.
A Perpetual Self-Serving Agenda
- "It appears that the Red Lobster Separation was designed to benefit management, not shareholders."
- "We believe Darden has historically shown a blatant disregard for shareholder concerns, a propensity to silence critics, and is similarly now trying to avoid shareholder concerns and input when it comes to the Red Lobster Separation."
- "It appears the Board is going to great lengths to ensure that shareholders DO NOT have a say in the Red Lobster Separation."
- "We question whether compensation decisions are motivating management to rush the separation of Red Lobster."
- "We believe the current management team and Board have a long history of self-interested behavior and disregard for shareholders' interests."
Shareholder-Unfriendly Corporate Governance
- "Darden maintains shareholder-unfriendly corporate governance provisions."
- "We do not believe the Board would sanction what we would view as an egregious violation of good corporate governance, like proceeding with the Red Lobster Separation in direct opposition to a clear shareholder directive, especially just months before a potential election contest."
- "Despite significant criticism from leading governance firms and shareholders regarding Darden's poor governance practices, the Company has actually taken steps to further disenfranchise shareholders."
- "Darden's corporate governance is unacceptable and recent Bylaw amendments have made things even worse."
- "Darden's new Bylaw amendments serve to exacerbate Darden's already alarming corporate governance concerns."
- "Rather than look out for the best interests of shareholders, it appears that Darden's Board has taken steps to further entrench themselves."
Premeditated, Misleading Statements
- "Management's arguments in support of the Red Lobster Separation are highly misleading."
- "Management has misled shareholders regarding customer demographics at Red Lobster and Olive Garden."
- "Management has misled shareholders regarding potential debt breakage costs."
- "Management has misled shareholders regarding their own performance."
The Ill-Advised Wall of Silence
- "We are troubled by the Company's continued attempts to avoid open discussion on what we believe to be the most important and difficult issues facing the Company."
- "Darden has a long history of silencing critics and trying to avoid an active dialogue on the key issues facing the company."
- "Management refuses to share key supporting assumptions to demonstrate how the Red Lobster Separation will create value."
- "Management has not adequately addressed Darden's real estate value."
- "Despite repeated inquiries, management has refused to disclose the key valuation assumptions used for Red Lobster in the analysis that led management to conclude that the Red Lobster Separation is the best alternative available to create value for shareholders."

These four compartment herb boxes are created from six 1200x200x50mm new untreated oak sleepers (cut by us straight from the tree). These raised bed kits are naturally long lasting - oak will outlast softwood (even tanalised softwood) by many years. The sleepers will have slots cut so they can be easily slotted together without the need for fixings. The external dimensions of this raised bed kit, when erected, will be 1200x1200x200mm.
These herb boxes will allow you to create an easy-to-manage and successful planting area on any surface. You can simply slot the oak sleepers together, and fill the compartments with top soil.
We use new untreated English oak sleepers for these kits - and these will have some splits, knots and possibly a waney edge or two. Each raised bed kit is highly unique, and full of character.

........ was wondering if it was just me, glad to know it sin't - the weather again doubtless!
Chicken pellets are good for most general fertilising - clematis are one of the few plants for which I buy a specific fetiliser as they are such greedy platns, and need all the grub they can get! Sometimes I feel like sending out for a 12 inch pizza for them!! I know what you mean about planting any spare bit of earth with a plant, and later on when your clematis are settled you can plant closer - the roots need to be cool while the head needs to be warm - some people put stones or such over the rooted area for clematis'. As said earlier, this year has just been a difficult one for many things, mildew included - the bases of the echinops are well covered with it as well. I shall take some leaves off to get some air in and hope for the best.
I've grown blueberries on my unsuitable soil for several years - each spring I give them a mulch of ericaceous compost, and make sure I water them with suitable fertilisers. They give a good big crop every year, so it can be done even if your soil is unsuitable.
Christopher2, I think you have misread the thread, it is about blueberries not blue poppies - maybe try making a new thread about those glorious plants?
... and presumably coo at a safe distance?
Still haven't - could you post a piccie?
Yes indeed, I have planted dahlias as a fence covering instead of the creeper which was very surprised to find itself in the front of the border! It happens to us all - labels disappear, and we know we will remember which seed went into which tray - not!!
Some plant breeders sell plants that either do not have seeds, or from which the seeds will not germinate, so as to keep the plant their property - preventing gardeners from propagating it in that way. Some very double flowers do not allow bees or other insects to access any nectar they may have - another reason I rarely if ever grow doubled flowers.
Do be very careful as you remove them - gloves, sleeves, even a face mask if you have to get close, enormous care about the eyes, nose and mouth please. Wash all the garments you wear to do the job, as soon as you are done, wash your hair too - the sap can get just about anywhere, and as you are one of the allergic ones, no amount of care is too much. Maybe you could get someone to do it for you? For those of us who love euphorbias, we are not unaware of the severe problems they can cause for some people. If you do the job of removal yourself, take an anithistamine before you start. Choose a cloudy dampish day if you can. Working in A&E made me aware just how horrid the reactions can be.
Of course it could be a male tree! Has it berried before? If so, then everyone here is right re pollinators etc.
Most plants have tended to have mildew this year, loads of rain early followed by sun and migginess- ideal onditions. many plants have a larger than usual amount of leaf due to the wet, this overhangs the ground and so tends also to enourage the damp humid conditions right for mildew. Are there any neighburing plants that c ould do with a haircut and so let more air to your 'Durnadii'? I have this clematis also, it is very lovely - though I totally ignore it from one year to the next so am always delighted when it reappears. Think I will continue on that road as it seems to have worked so far. it does get a bit of fertiliser around April time along with everything else, but that is it really.

Thanks Gloria,
Yes, instruction says to put zoom for 50mm, unless mine, tried before the vakation, works very well, but some times I get "Devil eyes" specialy with animals, I guess I have to live with it and work in PS. Can't use extra extenders to move the flash more from the camera lens axis.

I just finished reading it the other night and it was excellent Nick. Perfect for someone preparing to get there feet wet in affiliate marketing.
I downloaded it, had it printed and bound, and am now working on the exercises provided in the back.
Highly recommended.
Still i don't apply for any affiliates because first i need to know which affiliate is best for my niche. From various resources i have learned lots about affiliate marketing and I love to learn your ideas as well. Thanks Nick.
I purchased your ebook and finished reading it in May. Definitely worth the time and investment. I completely agree with your philosophy of "Build a brand and look for opportunities from a traffic standpoint". I think too many webmasters are trying to look at everything from getting Google's attention. Panda has shown that all your hard work can be lost in an instance.
I was really intrigued by your section on leveraging traditional pr. You generally mentioned a very successful campaign you developed using traditional pr. Do you have more concrete information on this campaign or others like it that you can provide? I've looked around this site and others looking for more of your work in this area but haven't found anything else. Care to share the site and I can do some research myself?

No one wants to go bald, but losing hair is not in someone's control. If you have reached a point where you are not left with much hair, and you feel awkward because of that, don't be disheartened. There are hair transplant procedures which can help you get your confidence back.
Here are two popular methods to regrow your hair:
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): No scalp tissue will be removed if you choose Follicular Unit Extraction method since every follicular unit is taken directly and individually from the scalp. It is done randomly and it results in lower density of hair in the donor area which is not noticeable in most cases.
- Pain Management: In FUE, stitches are unnecessary and there is no existence of any linear scar, so healing time is short and there is almost non-existent post procedural discomfort.
- Scarring: There is no linear scarring as such in FUE but there are 1mm in diameter or less puncture marks which heal by themselves within 3 to 7 days.
It is considered the best method for hair restoration in minor cases i.e. if the person does not suffer from advanced hair loss. This method boasts of a faster healing time and less discomfort.
Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT): If you opt for the Follicular Unit Transplantation method of hair transplant, the surgeon will remove a small strip of tissue, in order to extract the hair follicles present, from the back of your head. FUT is recommended in cases of advanced hair loss. FUT is also recommended as in most cases, your physician will be able to deliver results which meet your expectations.
- Pain Management: FUT procedure can cause some pain as swelling may occur in the region from where the tissue has been extracted. Suitable medication can be prescribed by your physician in case the pain persists.
- Scarring: Opting for a FUT procedure results in a very thin linear scar in the donor region. The scar is very much concealable as it is visible only if you opt for the shortest haircut styles.
Follicular Unit Transplantation is fast as it ensures most number of grafts that can be transplanted in a single session.
There are many things, which you must take care of after the procedures. Here are a few of those things:
- Scars: The procedure will leave you with a few scars as you wait for the hair to grow back from the replaced follicles. Ask your surgeon for medication which will bring down the swelling. You must make sure that you do not touch or scratch the surface under any circumstances.
- Elevation: After the procedure, as mentioned before, there will be some amount of swelling. So, it is important to keep your head in an elevated position so as to ensure that there is no extra swelling in the head.
- Physical activity: Sweating will make the scar and swelling even itchier. So, it is imperative that you shy away from physical activities like workouts and running. Also, you may want to stay out of the sun, or even avoid a trip to the sauna for a few days as the exposure may lead to sweating.
- Hygiene: The area around the scar and your scalp in general must be kept clean. Use mild shampoos and medication to keep the numbness and irritation at bay so that the scars get enough time to recover.

By Edward Krudy
(Reuters) - Embattled Knight Capital Group Inc has obtained a credit line that will allow the brokerage to operate for the day, helping its shares regain some ground, but major customers were still not sending trades to the company on Friday.
In morning trading, Knight's shares jumped more than 30 percent to $3.36 after losing 75 percent over the past two days. However, mutual fund giants Vanguard Group and Fidelity Investments were still not routing trades to Knight Capital, the nation's largest market maker.
Knight Capital told brokers that it has obtained a line of credit that will allow the day's operation, the Wall Street Journal reported. The company's spokesperson was not immediately available for comment.
A software glitch on Wednesday flooded the New York Stock Exchange with unintended orders for dozens of stocks, boosting some shares by more than 100 percent and leaving the largest U.S. retail market maker with a trading loss of $440 million, imperiling its survival.
Securities regulators are looking into the matter closely. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, in concert with other regulatory authorities, is now investigating what happened, a spokesman said late Thursday. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority also has examiners on-site at the company.
For a market already suspicious that the system might be fundamentally broken after 2010's "Flash Crash" and the botched Facebook IPO in May, the troubles at Knight have only added fuel to the fire.
Barclays Capital, in a Friday note, said Knight's problem was now entirely a question of confidence.
"(Ultimately), and in short order, customers need to have confidence to transact with KCG, because without that revenue generation is impaired, and the impact on earnings consequently can make it difficult for the company to retain employees," analyst Roger Freeman wrote.
The mood outside Knight Capital's offices was dour on Friday, as security warned reporters not to harass employees coming in and out. Police officers were also present, and reporters were told to stay off the company's property.
One staffer, toting a set of golf clubs despite the catastrophe unfolding around him, said, "I don't want to care" when asked how things were going.
Another called the atmosphere at work "quiet, very quiet."
Things could be quieter still on Friday if Knight does not regain some of the major customers it has already lost. Knight was the top retail market maker in 2011 for NYSE- and Nasdaq-listed securities. Market makers execute buy and sell orders on behalf of customers and step in to provide liquidity to ensure orderly trading.
Several large retail brokerages said Thursday they were routing orders to other market makers. Fidelity was not sending trades there on Friday, according to sources familiar with the firm, and Vanguard said it was also avoiding Knight.
On Thursday, TD Ameritrade, Scottrade, E*Trade, BNY Mellon subsidiary Pershing LLC, and Invesco all said they were shifting orders elsewhere.
Knight has set up a room for potential suitors to examine its books as it seeks financing to remain operational, according to a source familiar with the matter. Concerns have surfaced as to whether the company has adequate capital to maintain its trading volume.

Adele credits her baby boy with helping her to stress less about work.
The 24-year-old singer welcomed her first child with partner Simon Konecki in October.
The singer was fighting sleep on the Grammy Awards red carpet in Los Angeles last night after getting up early to take care of her baby.
"I've been up since 6 a.m. so I'm quite tired, but it's nice," she told People.com.
It's clear Adele is reveling in being a new mom and she admitted another upside to having a baby to care for. She wasn't nervous about whether or not she would be taking home any awards.
"I haven't been as stressed out. In life you have to prioritise what you stress about and worry about when you have a child," she explained.
Adele also warned fans not to expect much from her in the way of new music in the immediate future.
The singer co-wrote and recorded the title track for the latest James Bond film Skyfall but since then she says she's been "out of the loop" in the music industry.
"I've been singing baby nursery rhymes so I don't really know what's cool and what's not," she mused.
In the end, Adele did come out a winner on Grammy night.
She took home the prize for best pop solo performance for her hit single Set Fire to the Rain.
Also nominated in the category were Kelly Clarkson (Stronger), Carly Rae Jepsen (Call Me Maybe), Katy Perry (Wide Awake) and Rihanna (Where Have You Been).
Skyfall also won the gong for best original music at the British Academy of Film & Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards in London on Sunday night.

A re-builded old mill. It looks like countryside, but this mill is located in Bergen City, 50 meters from one of the biggest football-stadiums in Norway.

First Vespers of Quinquagesima Sunday
I was profoundly struck last evening by the antiphons and psalmody of First Vespers of Quinquagesima Sunday. Every antiphon — I have believed and taught this for years — is a kind of sacramental. It is a divine utterance that, as we chant it and hear it chanted, delivers what it announces. Here at Silverstream, we sing at First and Second Vespers during Septuagesimatide and Lent the four antiphons given in the Antiphonale Monasticum (1934) for Prime, Tierce, Sext. and None. This is immensely beneficial; it allows us to ponder the antiphons, all of which are taken from the Gospel of the day, not only at the Little Hours but also at the solemn hour of the sacrificium vespertinum, which would not otherwise have proper antiphons for the psalmody.
The antiphons are not, of course, mere text; they are a marriage of text and melody. The text becomes, thanks to the melody that emerges from it, a living word, a word capable of piercing the heart. Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel writes:
Music is the soul of language. A good sentence is more than a series

You can't apply the usual Fantasy Football rules to this exercise. For a start, a budget of £100m would barely upholster the sofa required to cushion the drooling somnambulists who slump together every Saturday night on Match of the Day. But football on TV above all needs to go outside the box, as it were, and abandon its discredited enslavement to ex-players.
Many exasperated viewers nowadays measure mainstream cliché and consensus against the sophistication and heterodoxy they reliably find elsewhere. Yet producers and pundits alike persevere in the fatuous misapprehension that you are only eligible to pass comment if you have also passed the ball at the highest level – unlike, say, Jose Mourinho or Andre Villas-Boas. That's why the first name on the team sheet is blank, a rotation of the best voices emerging from underground. We all have our favourites, from podcasts or Press Pass or Revista La Liga or whatever, and every few weeks yours would be on the show.
Rare is the man both eligible to comment, according to all these complacent ex-pros, and competent to comment, as a broadcaster. In fact, he is just about unique – and his name is Gary Neville. Never the most popular of players, he has dismantled all prejudice with his meticulous insights on Sky. On Monday, he froze frames of Nemanja Vidic staring at David de Gea after Manchester United conceded that last-gasp equaliser. "It's not because he fancies him," he deadpanned.
Neville is an automatic choice, albeit his rather solemn, urgent style probably needs complementing with a lighter touch. But that is only one of many reasons for installing James Richardson as host. He is funny and intelligent but has the humility, rare in his line of business, not to impose his personality on proceedings. Perhaps that is why much of his career has been mysteriously wasted on the margins. Unless it is because he might not indulge undue egotism in anyone else, either – a major problem, demonstrably, for the current MOTD shower.
Jeff Stelling would bring many of the same virtues, and more smoothly. In a spirit of Fantasy Football, however, we'll limit the number of appointments from any one channel. Perhaps the other man from Sky can instead be Graeme Souness, if only because he shows uncompromising opinion is permitted even to ageing Anfield stars. He seems immune to the endemic vice of the ex-players, who dread offending anyone they might meet at a golf day.
From ITV and its coverage of this weekend's FA Cup action we'll summon Lee Dixon, far too considered and pleasant a fellow to have lingered long in the MOTD clubhouse, while Pat Nevin represents the BBC, where his fringe role betrays the corporation's chronic mistrust of cerebral flavours among the slop of blandness.
Now for the nightmare line-up. If restricting ourselves to no more than two per channel, we are somehow supposed to omit one of those weird shirts from MOTD. At the end of the deah, you know Alan Shearer will come in and do a job; and Alan Hansen would be unforgivable. Diabolical. (But how do we leave out hangdog Lawro? I know, I know…) For Sky, Jamie Redknapp is a top, top pundit. Literally. ITV offers one or two nice guys with nothing to say and a nasty one with disappointingly little to say in Roy Keane.
As anchor, let's recall Richard Keys from radio to remind everyone what a blessing Sky made of the crossroads it met when required to dispense with his smug, creepy style. To think people feared Keys and Andy Gray might leave a void! To remind yourself exactly what those look like, you only have to tune in to MOTD every Saturday.
Pundit fantasy five-a-side: best and worst of talking heads
Gary Neville (capt)
Most likely to say: "He shouldn't be there. And he shouldn't be turning his back."
Least likely to say: "I know he's achieved a lot but I do wish Sir Alex would try zonal marking."
Graeme Souness
Most likely to say: "If I was his manager and he did that I would have him on a butcher's hook for a week."
Least likely to say: "It's easy to say that he underhit that back pass, but sometimes funny things can happen with these balls when it's damp."
Pat Nevin
Most likely to say: "The trajectory of that pass reminds me of something I once saw in the Schirn Kunsthalle at Frankfurt."
Least likely to say: "Can't we get a new theme tune done by Phil Collins?"
James Richardson
Most likely to say: "It's high time we put the pun back into punditry."
Least likely to say: "And that's why Italy, Spain and Germany are all looking on enviously at the greatest league in the world."
Lee Dixon
Most likely to say: "I don't have a problem with that, but I do think it would help if they looked at it this way."
Least likely to say: "To be honest, I'm not really sure what I'm looking at, now I don't have the two Alans to explain it."
Alan Shearer (capt)
Most likely to say: "OK, should have scored, but it was good play. They'll be all right."
Least likely to say: "I've seen a lot of this kid for Catania and I think he could be the making of Frei at Fulham."
Roy Keane
Most likely to say: "What am I doing with this bunch of *^#@*?"
Least likely to say: "Of course, I might be wrong. I'll look into it thoroughly and see."
Richard Keys
Most likely to say: "That Gary Neville, he's working for al-Qaeda. You wait and see."
Least likely to say: "Don't you think we need more women on this panel?"
Alan Hansen
Most likely to say: "Pace. Power. Grit. Determination. And that's an unbelievable pass."
Least likely to say: "Now see how Martinez changed it after he brought Jordi Gomez on."
Jamie Redknapp
Most likely to say: "They've shown literally 200 per cent improvement since he came back – he's a top, top professional."
Least likely to say: "He's a friend but I'd say it to his face: he's had an absolute shocker today. I'm sorry, but he's over the hill."Reuse content

Ex-Butler Co. doc guilty of molesting 2 reform schoolers
Updated:BUTLER, Pa. (AP) (AP)ong> - A former Butler County doctor already serving six to 15 years in prison for sexually abusing a teen boy from 1989 to 1995 while working as a Boy Scout leader has now pleaded guilty to molesting two students at a reform school where he was a consulting physician.
David Evanko, 59, pleaded guilty Monday and was sentenced to 5 1/2 to 14 1/2 years in prison -- which will run concurrent to his previous sentence -- for the Summit Academy abuse cases.
Evanko was arrested in 2009 after two brothers, now in their 30s, alleged they were molested when Evanko was a Scout leader. Charges involving one of those boys were dismissed due to the statute of limitations.
That investigation led to allegations by the reform school students, who were abused in 2009.

When Judge Dan Mike Bird of the 46th Judicial Court approved the sale of the 535,000-acre Waggoner Ranch on February 9, 2016, news traveled around the globe. After all, the largest ranch in the United States under one fence was about to leave family hands for the first time since W.T. "Tom" Waggoner founded it in 1849. And the new owner was a Stan Kroenke, an American businessman, professional sports team owner, and rancher who had already amassed one of the largest ranching conglomerates in North America. The media frenzy created the illusion the transaction was complete.
I, knowing that a land deal especially a deal of this magnitude and complexity isn't done until all of the signatures are on all of the appropriate lines, called Sam Middleton to congratulate him on nearing the finish line and to determine whether he had an estimated time of arrival at the aforementioned destination. Sam, who owns and operates Chas. S. Middleton & Son in Lubbock, was one of the two ranch brokers appointed to manage the ranch's sale on behalf of the family and shareholders. The other broker was Bernard "Bernie" Uechtritz, an international real estate advisor to Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty in Dallas.
Frankly, I didn't expect Sam to answer his phone. He was in the middle of a big deal and a big story. Of course, he is also Sam—a consummate professional. He picked up on the second ring. After exchanging a few verbal high fives, we agreed to touch base again when the deal was drawing to a close and Bernie could join us.
That opportunity arose later that day as a gaggle of lawyers and advisors were hard at work at the six courthouses in the six Panhandle counties that include a portion of the sprawling Waggoner. We were scheduled to talk at 9:00 a.m. My phone rang an hour later. Despite the best efforts of Christy Payne of Uechtritz's, International Icon Properties, who was assisting the duo, the media storm and unfolding events had upended Bernie and Sam's schedules. When we made a connection, the tone was optimistic and celebratory.
"I'd like to be the first to congratulate Sam on his retirement," said Bernie laughing as he immediately dispelled the rumors that he and Sam were considering leaving the ranch real estate industry at the deal's conclusion.
"The truth is this was just a warm-up for us," Sam said joining in the fun. "Our next deal is really big."
But when the talk turned to the new buyer, the mood turned thoughtful and respectful.
"For Stan ranching is a serious enterprise," Bernie said. "From our perspective, Stan was the ideal buyer. Not only did he have the financial resources to purchase and maintain the ranch, but he is a committed land steward who is passionate about improving the land and conserving it for future generations."
According to Sam, the family and shareholders encouraged the ranch brokers to find a buyer who would keep the historic ranch, which covers about 800 square miles, intact.
"While keeping the ranch whole was not a requirement, the family and shareholders made it clear it was their preference—and hope—that we would be able to keep the nation's largest ranch under a single fence unbroken," Sam said. "Interestingly, all of our serious buyers wanted to keep the ranch and its legacy intact."
On August 6, 2014, Sam and Bernie were appointed by Judge Dan Mike Bird of the 46th Judicial District Court to market the ranch. The team decided to divide and conquer. Sam worked on mapping, showing routes and a field brochure.
Bernie said, "I've been fortunate to do a lot of interesting things and quarterback some complicated deals in my 30-year career, but I have to say working with Sam is one of the high points."
Bernie took the lead on the marketing strategy and tactics , advertising, PR and media relations. Together they showed the ranch by land and air.
"From the beginning, it was clear that Bernie and I had different styles," Sam said. "He brought his style and his experience creating his compressed marketing campaign and call for offers, along with comprehensive data room concepts to the table, both of which were invaluable. In my career, I'd never undertaken a data gathering effort like this deal required."
Complete information is vital to any deal, but it was crucial to this one. One of Uechtritz's tactics required a $15 million "pay to play" submission by bid finalists in order for their offer to be considered. As a result, potential buyers needed access to complete information up front so they could make that investment with confidence. There was no opportunity for due diligence after the fact.
In January 2015, after several months of intense preparation, the duo initiated an unprecedented global marketing effort. Their concerted efforts generated more than 900 qualified inquiries despite the downturn in oil prices. The inquiries continued until the day the court approved the sale.
"The level of interest was overwhelming, and eventually we showed the property to several different groups and individuals from foreign countries," Sam said. "What I learned from this experience is that wealthy foreign investors still consider the United States the best place to invest their money—and land, particularly in Texas, is considered a very, very good investment."
The duo's call for offers closed on October 25, 2015. Six qualified prospects were selected to make final presentations to the family and shareholders. From those presentations, the final buyer was selected. One of the biggest challenges was keeping the buyer's identity secret until the transaction was finalized.
"This sale was a huge responsibility," Bernie said. "We worked long and hard to keep Stan's identity a secret and to maintain confidentiality."
He continued with a laugh, "It wasn't easy because the only thing people agree on in West Texas is that nothing is a secret."
The details of the deal were hammered out over several months. Joel D. Leadbetter from Hall & Hall in Bozeman, Montana, and Sam Connolly, general manager of Kroenke Ranches, represented Stan Kroenke.
"A deal of this magnitude and complexity is not completed because of the brilliance of a single person," Bernie said. "It was successful because we got good brokers involved and we worked closely with the exceptional teams representing the owners, the shareholders and the buyers. It was a team effort across the board."
By all accounts, the results were worth the efforts.
Sam said, "All sides are happy with the results. The family and the shareholders are pleased. It was a complicated deal done right with superlative results for those involved, those affected—and those of us who call Texas home."
"The new owner is committed to retaining all employees while infusing additional money into the ranch to modernize it, which is good news for the local community," Sam said.
"Selling the Waggoner Ranch intact means everything," Bernie said. "It means the investment value of Texas land is strong and vibrant. It means the cowboy way is not dead and won't be for a long, long time. It means there are patriots and land stewards out there like Stan Kroenke—people who don't have to invest their money in buying r eland, but choose to because they care and want to make it better. Ultimately, it means this national treasure is in good hands. A great day for Texas and American ranching."
