Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: Robert Charlton & andy langton & goodroi
Would that raise a spam flag because of keyword stuffing?
It is for an graphics and illustration tutorials site, so keywords will be somehow unrelated (draw this, paint that, etc.). None of them will be money related, though.
Please, it is not a usability question. I understand that many consider tag clouds something irritating. It is just a search engine related question.
Thanks in advance
But that doesn't solve the keyword stuffing problem, in case that a cloud tag could be considered that way.
I guess that I will try it and hope it won't be considered spamming.
Perhaps I'm reading too much about penalties and worrying with no reason.
Or, as Google puts it in their Guidelines:
Another useful test is to ask, "Does this help my users? Would I do this if search engines didn't exist?"
If a human reviewer from google could look at that and see a usability reason for what you did, then I would not be too concerned about a penalty. If it looks to a human like it is keyword stuffing, then I would be more concerned.
Even if you are keyword stuffing, I would not be too concerned about a penalty since you say that they are not money words. What would concern me more is that it would water down the results for that page, and possibly send a visitor to that page when you have a more approprate one for them.
The main reason for that page is to offer different alternatives for searching my site.
I have over 1500 tutorials and obviously I can show 10 or 15 per page.
Having a tag cloud can "help" visitors get to know what's hidden in my site by watching different keywords. The nice thing about the tag cloud is that the most populated keywords are in a bigger size. Plus I can play with type and colors to provide a more visually apealing design.
This is an isolated page and I'm not promoting it as a value page. It won't have adwords inside. And my site doesn't depend on it.
It is almost the same case as the new "PIXEL ADS" that are mostly useless but many enjoy watching and clicking them.
Plus, my visitors are mostly artists that can find many ideas by watching these keywords.
Tag clouds exist in lots of sites, but I don't know if there is any one this size (200-300 linked keywords).
That's a good example of a tag cloud.
FREQUENT: Tagcloud.com only works with rss feeds and I need to "tag" all my database. Thanks for the tip anyway.
Update: after making some tests, I will keep the tag cloud on a category level instead of a site level.
Site level tag cloud turned out to be really big, even for my "non-usable ;-)" purposes.
On the other side, category level tag cloud is relatively small to be considered keyword spamming and it is more usable.
Thanks for the input and happy new year!

Three people arrested on drug charges Lee County, Virginia
LEE COUNTY, Va. - A three month long investigation leads to three people facing drug charges in Lee County, Virginia.
Stoney Garrett, Sadie Owens, and Jerry Huffman are facing drug distribution charges after police say they found drugs and other drug related items at their homes in the Keokee area of the county.
According to the Lee County Sheriff's Office, deputies recovered pills, synthetic meth known as gravel, and items associated with illegal drug distribution. We're told a 9 millimeter handgun was also found at Huffman's home.
Police say more arrests are likely.

I know many women age 50 and beyond who appear to be entrapped in the same old routines, poised and mature but hampered by grim rigidity. I know others, though, who remain fun and adventurous, unafraid to stretch their comfort zone no matter how old they are and what anyone else thinks. They are the ones who can still party all night -– even if it is once every few months and it takes that long for them to recover.

On Tuesday, August 12, the Junior Gunners team hosted an Arsenal Family Fun Day at Paradise Wildlife Park in Hertfordshire.
Over 125 JGs had won the chance to bring their family and friends to the event, and in the end over 500 Arsenal fans attended the day. The event saw supporters of all ages, and there was something to suit everyone. Arsenal Legend Pat Rice also attended with his family and Gunnersaurus was busy posing for photos.
The winners enjoyed all the activities at Paradise Wildlife Park with complimentary access to the entire animal park, events, shows, the Tumble Jungle – a fun soft play area, the Paradise Lagoon – perfect for a little swim, crazy golf and much more. The JGs also got their own Animal Feeding Bag which allowed them to even feed the animals!

Looks like it's unanimous, Dale, and for good reason. Guess that settles that. Next question?
"If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?"

It's up to you of course. You could keep the hum drum 7mm-08, or you could keep the round that is soft on the shoulder but has the power that many a Swedish moose fear. Quite accurate too. If it was me, I'd sell both the Tikkas and get a CZ full stock in 6.5x55, but that's me.
Just kidding, the Tikka in 6.5 should be a wonderful rifle that will last a lifetime. You don't have to worry about ammo if you pick up reloading, and .264 bullets don't seem to be that hard to find if you can shop the Internet.
Good luck with either choice.
keep the 6.5 and replace the 7mm-08 later in life. wont be that easy with the 6.5

I hate to go against the grain but I would go with the 7mm/08 for a number of reasons.
1) Availability of ammo.
2)Availability of components ( cases ) commercial and military.
3)Can be loaded from 100gr. to 175gr. for varmint and big game. Better selection of bullets.
4) A 7mm/08 is said to be in performance on the heels of the 270 Win.
5) It can out perform the 6.5 X 55 and the 260 Rem. with equal weight bullets.
6) Although the 7mm/08 is considered on the light side for large big game and the 6.5 X 55 Swedish has been noted for harvesting Moose. The answer for this is easy. The 6.5 X 55 Swiss was adopted in 1894 by the Swedish military. Millions of 6.5 X 55 Swiss surplus were sold cheap. My older brother bought one for $12. 50 years ago and the gun shops had them by the crates.
It can be said the same about the 7mm X 57 Mauser.
The 7mm/08 was introduces in 1980 84 years after the 6.5 Swiss and in different times because today we have choices, a selection of calibers in different cartridges. We can selected the cal./cartridge to suite the game. So if giving a choice we would probably use a 30/06 to a 300 Weatherby mag. for Moose.
So if your aim is to have a modern accurate deer rifle the 6.5 or 7mm is as good as each other. But I would pick the 7mm/08 over the 6.5 X 55 any day. Just my opinion.
My Avatar is my brother John who left me to soon. He was 10 Y/O 1 month older than me. He took me off the Streets of Brooklyn taught me how to handle a rifle and to hunt. For his attention I would always be grateful. Rest in Peace Brother John.

Here in the United States, our business culture tends to be action-oriented. We value the ability to think fast and act decisively. These qualities can be strengths. However, like most strengths, they can also be a weakness. Taking action when you don't know the facts can lead to irreparable harm. Deciding too quickly before you've examined your options can lead you down the wrong path. Fixing fast may assuage symptoms but leave the underlying problem to fester.
Treating symptoms may work with the common cold, but with many technical and organizational problems it's a prescription for disaster. Before you chase a solution, slow down and make sure you are looking at the underlying problem, not just soothing symptoms. (Sometimes, as with the common cold, you do need relief from symptoms in order to make any progress.) Of course, we can't always tell right away whether we are fixing a symptom or an underlying issue. But, if the problem keeps coming back, you can be sure that you've been dancing around manifestations of the problem, not tackling the problem itself.
Start by Questioning Your Questions
Every question contains assumptions. While a question opens one avenue of inquiry, it closes others. The questions you ask constrain your thinking about the problem and your eventual solution. For example, in one company, the executives weren't satisfied with the speed with which the IT department delivered projects. They sacked the VP of the IT department and brought in a new one with a reputation for decisive management action. The new VP immediately started asking questions, which seems like a good sign, until you know her questions:
- Where is the dead wood?
- How can we get the testers and developers to work harder and move faster?
These questions assume the source of the problem: lazy and incompetent people. But, what if the reason projects are late has something to do with the fact that people are assigned to several projects at the same time or that priorities change so quickly that teams never reach "done" before they are pulled to work on the latest urgent issue? The VP has already narrowed her inquiry and will only arrive at "solutions" that involve firing the "dead wood" and whipping those deemed "live wood."
Examining our questions is critical, because not only do our perceptions influence the language we use, but also the language we use influences what we perceive. Starting with a more general set of questions will help reduce perceptual bias and uncover the facts of a problem situation:
- What are the visible symptoms?
- What other effects can we observe?
- Who cares about this issue?
- What is the impact on that person/group?
- What is the impact on our organization?
- What other factors might contribute to the problem situation?
- What other events might influence the context?
These questions may lead you closer to the real problem, or at least help you see whether the area you are looking at is the most fruitful for alleviating pain. Based on this, choose where to delve deeper, and get more specific as you explore the details of the situation:
- When does the problem occur?
- How frequently does it occur?
- Is the occurrence regular or irregular?
- Does it always happen, or is it an exception?
- Under what circumstances does the problem occur?
- What are the circumstances under which it doesn't occur?
At this point, you may start to feel you have a pretty good idea of what the problem is, so ...

The strike by the Punjab Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) over non-payment of salaries entered its 10th day on Wednesday.
"Director principal Dr Kulbir Kaur called our representatives on Tuesday and asked us to join duty. She assured us that by April 20, the management will release our pending salaries. However, after ameeting within ourselves, we refused to join work," said an agitating employee.
Paramedical staff; including all technicians and clerical staff working in different departments, went on strike on April 1 after failure of management to transfer salaries in their accounts.
"We have not been paid salaries from December. Doctors have been working without salaries for more than six months. We are working in a lot of pressure and even anti-human atmosphere. For getting our salaries released, we have to resort to an agitation.
"Only emergency services are being handled presently by the doctors. The OPD has not been functioning,"said another agitating employee.
In September 2012, PIMS promoters had expressed their inability before the state government to run operations as they were losing nearly Rs 3 crore a month. However, the government is yet to take a call. The institute was allotted to a charitable society headed by minister Rakhra on 99-year lease basis during the previous SAD-BJP regime.
PIMS PRO Nayala Arora, said on the behalf of principal pirector, responded, "We have transferred one month salary in the accounts of employees and are in touch with the management for the early release of the salaries of staff working in PIMS."

Timing is everything, and Wednesday's double rainbow victory at the U.S. Supreme Court will give San Francisco's Gay Pride Parade an extra jolt of excitement Sunday. KQED has learned that the two same-sex couples whose federal lawsuit led to Proposition 8 being struck down will ride in the Pride parade.
Details are still for their parade contingent are still being worked out, according to a spokesman for the American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER), which spearheaded the legal challenge to Prop. 8. But plaintiffs Kris Perry, Sandy Stier, Paul Katami and Jeff Zarrillo are expected to be joined by long-time gay rights advocate Cleve Jones and Dustin Lance Black, whose screenplay for "Milk" won him an Academy Award. Also marching with them will be San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera and his legal team, which joined the case against California's gay marriage ban.
Parade organizers must be thrilled at this week's developments and the celebrity contingent. It will no doubt will overshadow a heated community controversy involving an on-again, off-again plan to have Wiki-leaker Bradley Manning serve as the parade's honorary grand marshal. Manning is undergoing court martial for revealing thousands of secret diplomatic cables and other government information related to the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars.
A rogue contingent of Pride Committee members announced a few weeks ago that Manning, who is gay, would be honored. But that was quickly retracted when Pride's Board of Directors said Manning's nomination as grand marshal had not been properly vetted.
The SF Pride Parade typically draws about a million people from throughout the Bay Area and throughout the world.

If New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum wins the toss at the Basin Reserve tomorrow morning he will give his bowlers first use of the ball.
McCullum fronted his usual press conference on the eve of the second test against England today and offered a slightly surprising response when asked if he would bat first if he won the coin flip.
"I wouldn't imagine so. I don't think New Zealand pitches break up a great deal,'' he said.
"I think if there's any advantage it's normally on day one. I think that's probably a trend to New Zealand pitches at the moment so there's been some huge runs scored domestically even on wickets that are four, five or six matches old. I wouldn't expect this one to break up a great deal. But I guess if you cop a decent swinging day then you can knock off the top [order] reasonably quickly as well.''
Former English test captain W.G Grace, who played first-class cricket for 44 seasons, once famously observed: "When you win the toss - bat. If you are in doubt, think about it, then bat.
If you have very big doubts, consult a colleague - then bat.''
But to win test matches you generally need to take 20 wickets and McCullum believes that a good morning on day one for his seam trio of Trent Boult, Neil Wagner and Tim Southee could make valuable inroads.
"The thing about the Basin is you can go a whole session where you keep beating the bat or you don't pick up a wicket. But then very quickly you can pick up five or six in a session,'' McCullum said.
"So I guess with that you're trying to look to gain some ascendancy early in the test match and that's hence why we are looking at bowling first.''
After the run-fest in Dunedin much has been made of the Basin Reserve wicket in the lead-up to tomorrow's test but the pitch isn't expected to produce as much pace and bounce as it has in recent seasons due to a heavy diet of first-class cricket being played on the strip this season.
McCullum said there would be no changes to his side from the first test at the University Oval.
"Yeah, unchanged team so we are going to go in with the same XI. I think they obviously performed really well for us in the last game and we hope that they'll do the same job in this one.
"We've got the bowlers to be able to take 20 wickets and to be able to put the same pressure on their batting line-up as well and we've just got to make sure that we execute and if we do that we are going to give ourselves the best opportunity.''
Following a heavy workload in the second innings of the first test, New Zealand's seamers have been on light duties this week but McCullum said they were all fit and firing ahead of tomorrow's match.
If the Wellington wind gets up - as it so often does - left-arm spinner Bruce Martin is expected to carry a big workload in to the breeze, while the pacemen will be rotated in short spells early on.

do not
extend to cross-country travel nor to areas, trails and roads specifically posted CLOSED to vehicle or ORV use, nor to the operation of an ORV within state game, wildlife, or research areas, federal forest lands, state parks, state recreation areas or Michigan trailways
Those persons issued a valid temporary or permanent handicapper parking permit issued by the

Those persons holding Permits to Hunt from a Standing Vehicle.
Those persons with a physicians certification for the following disabilities:
Loss of 1 or both legs or feet;
Inability to walk more than 200 feet without having to stop and rest;
Inability to walk without prolonged use of wheelchair, walker, crutches, braces or other devices to aide in mobility;
Lung disease from which the person's expiratory volume for 1 second is less than 1 liter when measured by spirometry;
Lung disease from which the person's arterial oxygen is less than 60 mm/hg of room air at rest;
Cardiovascular disease from which the person measures between 3 and 4 on the New York heart classification scale/

Other disease or disorder including but not limited to severe arthritis or neurological-orthopedic impairment that creates a severe mobility limitation.
Click here for a copy of the Physicians certification of eligibility form
Persons with
severe disabilities (i.e., paraplegics, quadriplegic).
Operation of the ORV is subject to licensing and all other requirements and restrictions, and shall only be at a speed and in a manner which does not degrade the environment. These privileges may extend to one companion of the disabled person serving as operator or passenger of the disabled person's ORV, if the ORV is designed for passenger use.
If you read the law above as an officer of the law, what do you expect the user to be carring to confirm his disability and eligability within the law?
On a serious note. I DO meet the requirements and have a handicapped plate on both the Jeep and the pickup.
But what I do not understand is "licensed" vehicle UNDER 50" wide.
What does licensed mean ? Name one street legal car or truck the meets the 50" wide rule ?
Somehow I doubt an ATV or ORV is going to get a SOS license plate.
So it would seem this law is worthless ?

For my birthday, my mother-in-law gave me a gift card to the Olive Garden. It was a wonderful present because 1. it represented two dates for me and my husband, 2. it wasn't something I was going to have to find a place to store and 3. it was an opportunity to go out and eat….for free. Remembering that I live in Small Town, AZ, with limited restaurants and that my in-laws live in a Seattle suburb so there were few options for gift cards.
The second time we went, I just had soup. I chose their Chicken Gnocchi variety. Served with their bread sticks, it made a wonderful lunch. So good was it, in fact, that I wanted to make it at home a few days later. I did a few searches and ended up at copykat.com, a site that has changed a bit over the years and is now in a blog form. So two birds were killed with one stone. I got my soup and I got another edition of "Your Recipe, My Kitchen."
Stephanie's version says it makes 8 servings, but I knew by reading it that it wouldn't be enough for my family, so I doubled it. Sort of. I used homemade gnocchi instead of store bought (at $3.49 a package I would have had to spend roughly $12 on that alone). I used a single chicken breast I had in the freezer and then used a large can of chicken. I used one quart of half and half, because I had it and then added canned milk for the doubled amount. I had Swiss chard on hand, not spinach. So, there were definitely some changes. The results however, were wonderful. Two thumbs up from the pickiest of eaters. Served with homemade bread sticks, it was everything I had hoped it would be.
- 1 cup chicken breasts, diced and cooked (can use canned chicken or turkey)
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 4 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 quart half and half (can use evaporated milk)
- 1 14 ounce can chicken broth (I added five when I doubled it, so you may want at least 1 more can)
- ½ cup celery, sliced
- ¼ cup flour
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup carrots, shredded (mine were coarsely shredded)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 cup fresh spinach, coarsely chopped (the Swiss chard was great, so that's another possibility)
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg (my addition)
- 16 ounce package gnocchi
- In a large stockpot, saute the onion, celery and garlic in the butter and olive oil.
- When the onion is clear, add the flour and form a roux.
- Stir and cook a minute.
- Add the half and half .
- Meanwhile in another pan, cook the gnocchi.
- (I cooked mine in the chicken broth, but it was about triple the called for amount).
- Add the carrots and chicken to the stockpot.
- Stir often and when it gets thicker, add the chicken broth, gnocchi, spinach and seasonings.
- Cover and heat through.

Diners cut back their spending at casual restaurants in February as the January hike in payroll tax bit into household budgets, according to a closely watched data survey. But shares of restaurant chains were mostly up Tuesday.
Sales at casual-dining establishments declined 5.4% last month, following January's 0.6% slip, Bloomberg reported, citing the Knapp-Track Index. With December's 1.6% decline, the three-month span was the worst for the industry since 2010.
Among those feeling the head winds is Olive Garden and Red Lobster parent Darden Restaurants (DRI). In February it cut guidance, citing the payroll tax that's sapping consumers' discretionary dollars. The chain forecast a 4.5% same-store sales decline at its three largest chains, with a sharp 7% decline at its flagship Olive Garden chain.
Darden reports results Friday for its fiscal third quarter, which ended Feb. 24. It's shares are down about 7% since that guidance, but were up slightly intraday on the stock market today.
Brewery and pizzeria chain BJ's Restaurants (BJRI) said it was increasing promotions and marketing to coax in customers who are reluctant to spend in the face of the tax, higher gas prices and other pressures.
Its shares have been down sharply since late last year. Shares were up 1.6% intraday.
Bloomin' Brands (BLMN), parent to Outback Steakhouse, was up 2.2% Wednesday.
Any pain for sit-down casual chains could boost sales at quick-service chains such as Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) and Panera Bread (PNRA), analysts say. Cash-strapped consumers often will trade down, saving a few bucks on the entree and tip.
Both reported same-store sales growth in their most recent quarters, though at slower paces. Chipotle shares were up 1.4% intraday. Panera climbed 1.2%.
McDonald's said January-February same-store sales in the U.S. declined 1.2%. Its shares were up fractionally intraday.
Yum, which relies on its largest market, China, for growth, is seeing strong sales in the U.S. from its Taco Bell chain. Shares were up 0.8%.

Tipi playhouse: Make the decorations
Cut out two 1½-inch-diameter and two 8-inch-diameter yellow-cotton circles (figures B and C); they're easier to cut if you fold the fabric into quarters. Remove the paper backing.
Bond the 1½-inch circles onto opposite sides of the tepee opening, 22 inches up from the bottom and 11 inches in from the opening edges (on radius marks). Bond the 8-inch circles 10½ inches (on center) away from the little circles as shown.
Cut out twelve 3-inch-tall yellow triangles (see figure D). Cut one triangle in half lengthwise and apply the halves to the two opening edges at the bottom of the tepee; bond. Apply the 11 remaining triangles to the bottom edge of the tepee at the six radius marks and halfway between each pair of marks.

Books and Beats, Jan. 10, 2010, 92.1 FM
David Maraniss's first-ever collection of magazine and newspaper pieces (with some book chapters thrown in), Into the Story, comes out next week. So that's when we'll talk with David about it. This week, a reply of our conversation from this past September, talking about the preparation of the book and the research for his next book, a biography of Barack Obama.
The Packers are back in the playoffs, so a replay of the conversation with David about the Madison Repertory Theater production of Lombardi: The Only Thing (based on David's book, When Pride Still Mattered) seems in order.
Prof. Robert W. McChesney and John Nichols have big new book, The Death and Life of American Journalism: The Media Revolution that Will Begin the World Again. Bob and John will have a book release event at the Goodman Community Center on Jan. 28, but we've got Bob today for a live preview.
Hope you can join us.
Maraniss and McChesney this Sunday
Music news, rumors, what you're listening to, how you're listening to it and whether it's all on the up-and-up.

It's My Turn
Remember that pathetic friend of yours who would refuse taking a stand on anything or give you an "I told you so" for fear of offending you or creating enemies? Shut up like a clam, she would rather be the brunt of ill humor than assert herself stating or defending a position because she would rather fit in than stand out in her crowd as a potentially unpopular position taker? Consequently, she sits by mum watching her beliefs and accomplishments being denigrated by the rest of the in-crowd, refusing to defend her position knowing that she might wind up as an outcast, alone, a loser. The current persona of the Democratic Party is just that. Moreover, every positive they have accomplished has been masterfully turned to a negative by the Republican Spin Machine. Will Democrats ever find a counter attack to Republican spin? If they want to win, they'd better.
The Democratic Party (DP) strategy to catapult itself into first position in the hearts and minds of American voters is a loser. Defining their positions and communicating them to the public are two of their biggest blunders. As a result, the same people who got us into the mess from which we are trying hard to extricate ourselves (Bush Republicans) are in danger of socking it to Americans a second time in a very short time span. Democrats strategy for victory in elections has oft times been flawed and pathetic even though they have long been champions of the people. They usually get elected as a result of voting Republicans out rather than Democrats in.
Democrats first blunder in the Obama Administration was not explaining to the public how long it would take for recovery from a country's near bankruptcy, compliments of George Bush Jr. People expect recovery to be like the movies: wait an hour and a half and it's over. The wars were also a huge burden that couldn't be waved away. Obama, the silver tongued orator, needed to plead for patience from an anxious public by buying time with allegories and fairy tales about patience. He didn't. He should have pounced on public works projects insisting on work repayment for unemployment checks. He didn't. He should have hammered companies with huge taxes who continue to send jobs overseas and should have offered incentives to companies to create jobs in this country. He did not.
Every time Obama tried to eradicate one of Bush's blunders, Republicans, those responsible for the President's eraser agenda, dug him deeper into Bush's hole. If Obama is not fighting Republicans, he is fighting his own party or the military. One would think his majority in the house and senate would have achieved what votes Obama needed to accomplish cleaning up the rubbish left behind by the Bush Administration and forging ahead with the Obama agenda. Not. Washington DC was underestimated and poorly managed by Obama's brain-trusts. Having a couple of years in office under his belt, Obama must bear the blame for where the Democratic Party is now. Too quick to absolve Bush from his administration blunders, Obama, again and again hoisted himself on his own petard claiming his wars, his economic downturn, his oil spill. It almost seemed as though Professor Obama did not know the difference between credit and blame as he continually appeared to be pushing the boulder uphill. Is it too late for absolution?
The one piece of the puzzle that adds to the Democrats conundrum is the cunning of Republican strategists. How many times in how many years do the Democrats fall into the Republican's briar patch? Whether it's Mrs. Musky, Mrs. Mondale, Monica Lewinsky, Vince Foster, illegals, gays, abortion or significant accomplishments, it is unbelievable how Democrats always put themselves into the positions of knee jerk apologists. John Kerry's military heroics, a tremendous source of pride, were turned into shame. Obama's health care law, a monumental accomplishment in the making for seven decades rendering health care a non-issue for some thirty million more Americans was talked into trash by the opposition. Instead of taking credit for passing the health care bill, Democrats are spending precious time defending it or not speaking about it at all.
Democrats must remember their history and who they represent and what good they have done for the American public over the years; and, all of that must be communicated to the voters. They, too, must have a view of the future and goals that they share with the average voter. They must compare the Republican agenda to their own and let the people decide who will best represent them. They must anticipate being demeaned by the opposition and have strategies for dealing with attacks before they actually occur.
The oddest thing about the Republican Party is that average wage earners in the party are being used to pass the agenda of the wealthy. Those 'little people' would obviously be better served by the programs proffered by Democrats; but, insist on being used by the wealthy to push their agenda. That many of them would want to turn the clock back to pre-integration, pre-legal abortion and pre-gay eras reinforces they would rather support a party for what they are against than what they are for while benefiting totally from social programs promulgated by Democrats. Why middle class Republicans would support a party that promotes privatizing social security (see Blue Monday) and overturning Universal Health Care and Medicare (check out pre-existing conditions) is beyond belief. Don't Republicans age and ail in the same ratio as Democrats?
During the Bush Administration we were lied into two wars, led to the brink of economic disaster and did nothing as private industry had their way with business "as usual." Consequently, our country was near bankruptcy and industry and industrialists were on their way to untold and unregulated wealth. Why any average voter would want to return to that (save the rich) Republican regime is unfathomable. If average earning Republicans are depending on their candidates to turn back time on social agendas, they should come to grips with reality and check out the barn door.
Democrats have a laundry list of issues to run on if they could only keep from getting sidetracked by Republicans who have honed the craft of knocking Democrats off their pins, relegating them to 'whimphood'. Voters are tired of Democratic wimps but what they should be wary of is Republicans whose only agenda concerns the rich. Why Democrats have not drummed this into the heads of the electorate is ridiculous. Republican voters are clearly being seduced being promised what they want to hear in favor of the truth.
Nobody is denying the viability and necessity of the two party system; however, party alignment should be for the right reasons. Republicans have their stuff together (however ill-defined); and, are more organized than the Democrats. But, for the 98% of the public that isn't mega-rich it is clear that the fighting 98 would be better served by the Democrats despite their party and agenda disarray. The Democrats message must be clear and must relate to the fighting 98; and, like a fighter in the ring, must not be knocked off their pins after each jab. With so little time to go to the mid-term elections and two years to go to the next presidential election the question is, "Can the Democrats mend their ways and get their act together?" If the past is prelude to the future, the answer is, "Do not hold your breath."

Practice? 'Answer', Sixers agreeable so far
DURHAM, N.C. Training camp is the most important part of the season for an NBA coach.
It is there that he establishes his leadership role with his players; where he organizes his team game on offense and defense; where he evaluates his personnel, makes roster cuts, creates roles for individual players, and decides on player rotations.
The coach will also get a sense of the mental and physical toughness of his players and discover which ones are willing to step up in pressure situations. He knows he must make every minute of training camp count because he'll never have this much practice time again during the season.
Training camp is also where the players learn about their coach and his staff.
They'll learn how demanding they will be about punctuality, energy levels expended, and the kind of play execution that is acceptable. Players like activities to be well-organized and under control. They will get an immediate sense of those qualities in their first dealings with the coach.
They'll learn about their own responsibilities on and off the court and how they fit into the overall game plan.
It's an important time for them too.

Hygrophila Polysperma Heights
does anyone know how tall Hygrophila Polysperma gets? I know its a easy plant to grow and such, also if its planted in a huge bunch of its same speices of plant does it look decent? Is it real bushy? does it create a thick or thin forest? thanks
It will form a nice thick bush. I love the plant and wish it was still available, my LFS has some growing in their tanks under low light and it makes a great groundcover. In good light it will grow to the surface of the tank in no time. There are some Amano aquascapes that look spectacular with thick plantings of it.
yes. :)
i like the look of a thick bush of hygrophilia, but it takes a bit of trimming to accomplish a thicker grouping. it will grow more compact in higher light or closer to the surface and more "leggy" in lower light or at the bottom of a deep tank. that is, unless you convice it to grow more densely by trimming a section of stem and replanting the loose piece about 1.5" - 2" from the closest one. if you keep doing that every few weeks, pretty soon you'll have a thick bush of hygro with lots of branched growth and sometimes some stems will lie down across the substrate like a runner and send down roots and send up more stems.
doh, urk beat me to the same answer, and did so in fewer words. that's often a sign of superior intelligence. extra words are just a waste of everyone's time. ;) good question though, puffer
lol thanks. well i'm going to have 110wattsCF on one half of my tank and the other half dark and wanted the side with all the lights to have a huge mass of one species of plants. since I have all these rasboras I figured they would like some plant cover to mingle around in and stuff. Plus my cherry shrimp would love it also. so you think it will grow to the top of my 55 gallon tank huh.....cool. sounds great to me, now just to find the plant! I wonder if anyone around here has any
if you'd asked a few weeks ago i would have had 2 variations... i chose to pull them from my tank because along with ludwigia repens, they were growing so fast that they were depriving my other plants (especially swords) of nutrients...
I'll check my mom's tank and see if she has any hygro. polysperma sunset var. that can be trimmed (she usually does). if so, you're welcome to it. shouldn't take long at all to mail it since you're in state :)
I had some in my 125g when I first set it up, but found that it tended to grow in every which way. The leaf size also started to get pretty long (3"+) and the whole stand got to be very unattractive.
Thanks Oqsy! Bharada did you just have one plant of a clump of it? I'm hoping that one big group of it will look nice. Also will it need alot of CO2 with 110watts over it? I was figuring on hooking up 4 DIY Jello 2L bottles to two Hagan Ladders in the 55. Will this work good?
I started off with one stem that I kept dividing. At the end I had maybe 6-8 closely planted stems, but it grew in a tangled mess with as much lateral growth as vertical and an enormous amount of side shoots.
I think H polysperma is a relatively undemanding plant as far as lighting and CO2 goes. Four 2L bottles should do you just fine. You may want to run your CO2 line through some form of bubble counter (make one out of a 1L water bottle) just to catch any gunk that the yeast mixture is likely to produce. Otherwise the Hagen ladders get gummed up pretty quick which traps the bubbles instead of letting them climb.
Ok I will do that, so 4 2L Jello bottles with a bubble counter, works for me! I wonder if makeing a Inline reactor would be better then buying two ladders, I mean its out of the tank and prob. costs about the same. Think a 6 or 8" inline reactor could difuse that much CO2, well most likely if it would be able to do pressureized. Sorry thinking outloud

I have osteoporosis and for years my doctors told me which calcium to take and my bone density never changed. Once I started talking to my chiropractor and told him what was going on he recommended I try Cal Apatite Plus. After taking it for a year I went back to my Osteoporosis doctor and my bone density had improved immensely. Not only was I surprised but they couldnt believe the increase either. They told me to keep doing whatever I was doing. The difference this time was taking the Cal Apatite Plus. I hadnt done anything different.
Everything. Its easy to swallow and my bones are actually getting better. I would highly recommend Cal Apatite Plus to everyone!
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Strengthen Your Bone Density!
I take Cal Apatite Plus every evening and morning (2 pills per day). After having my last bone density test I learned that I have slightly increased my calcium results. Cal Apatite Plus is awesome as I was previously using a "wholesalers" product that was not improving but decreasing my desired results. I am now on my fourth bottle and have experienced great results. My Chiropractor recommended Cal Apatite Plus and I am sorry it wasnt a topic of conversation earlier. I am glad to be at this time! A must buy to strengthen the bones!!!!

Great product
Been taking this for over 10 years. Doctor recommended since I had a bad reaction to the current pills suggested for bone loss. Im very active and have not had any problems with osteoporosis. Sure a lot better than reaction to the most popular medication advertised.

Hope Afloat!
Having had osteoporosis for about fifteen years stay at the same level, I was not happy when the overall score was higher this year. I decided to give Cal Apatite Bone Builder Prime by Metagenics a 2 year try because a pilates personal trainer I know said her osteo score actually improved after taking this daily for the 2 years until her next DEXA. I was more convinced when my Sports Medicine Chiropractor told me that all patients he has on this have experienced improvement in their osteo scores. My primary care doctor recommended Fossamax, but why take a product that stops new bone growth when there's a good chance taking the Bone Builder Prime WILL promote new bone growth!
See above.
The tablets are harder to swallow than the Forte capsules.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Excellent choice of Calcium
I have used the Cal Apatite with Magnesium for a few years and switched to Plus just recently. I have found it easier to take and very helpful for my arthritic feet! No more pain. Also a beneficial side effect has been fewer bladder complaints although theres no pharmaceutical reason for that result.
