Robert De Niro Honored with Cement Prints in Hollywood
It seems long overdue, but Robert De Niro was finally immortalized via hand and footprints in front of the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood on Monday (February 4).
The "Godfather Part II" actor wore a black blazer and charcoal trousers as he was praised by "Silver Linings Playbook" director David O. Russell and colleague Billy Crystal.
Joking with the crowd, the 69-year-old screen legend said, "You know, Joe Pesci always said I'd end up with my feet in cement. I don't think this is what he had in mind."
Though his career has already made him well-known for films like "Taxi Driver," "Raging Bull," and "Goodfellas," the honor comes right after Mr. De Niro's most recent Oscar nomination for his supporting role in "Silver Linings Playbook."
Enjoy the pictures of Robert De Niro at the his footprint Ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theater (February 4).

After doing practically everything there is to do in Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, I put the game back on my shelf and started on a different game. But as I was beating the last few missions, I thought to myself, "Man, if only they had included cheats, then I'd never stop playing."
Apparently someone at Pandemic thought that cheats would be a good idea too, as the company has announced today that an update for Xbox 360 (Oct. 13) and PlayStation 3 (Oct. 20) is in the works.

We study the finiteness of planar relative equilibria of the Newtonian five-body problem and in the five-vortex problem in the case that configurations form a symmetric kite (three points on a line and two additional points placed symmetrically with respect to that line). We can prove that the equivalence classes of such relative equilibria are finite with some possible exceptional cases. These exceptional cases are given explicitly as polynomials in the masses (or vorticities in the vortex problem). These results depend on computations performed with the software Sage, Singular, Magma, and Gfan.

Well, it's the last unofficial weekend of summer . . .
I am always sad to see summer go, but we definitely aren't going down without one last grilling session!
(Actually, I grill year-round, so that's a lie. 🙂 I have even been known to shovel a path from my back door to my grill in the winter so I can have a taste of summer when I am up to my elbows in Utah snow. It's how I get through the cold days of winter . . . oh summer! Don't leave!!! I am not ready!)
Anyway, if you need a delicious dish to grill this weekend, look no further.
You can thread onto kabobs like I did, or this marinade would be awesome for chicken breasts or thighs.
Grilled Chinese Chicken Kabobs
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons minced onion
1/4 cup rice vinegar
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ginger
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 1/2 lbs skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
Mix together the first seven ingredients and place in a gallon-sized resealable bag. Place chicken pieces in the bag and mix until all the chicken is completely coated. Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours (I recommend more like 6-8 hours).
Remove chicken from fridge and thread chicken on skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning). Discard marinade.
Place kabobs on a grill over medium-high heat. Cook until chicken is no longer pink and has an internal temperature of 165 degrees (about 10 minutes, turning chicken once).
Top with sliced green onions and serve with Grilled Caramelized Pineapple.

Our 2012 Idea House
It rolled into Healdsburg, California, on a truck, all folded up like a piece of steel origami. With a foundation waiting to bolt it into place, each ready-made section of the home was lifted into position and its walls flipped up.
The Sunset Breezehouse is the next generation of the design-savvy prefab we debuted in 2005, offering the benefits of an architect-designed custom home with the efficiency of prefab construction. The best elements of our original blueprint remain: soaring, light-filled spaces that blur the line between indoors and out; thoughtful storage; and eco-friendly, energy-efficient construction.
Blu Homes made this architectural icon even more green (all models are LEED certifiable) and technologically advanced—a solar-thermal water heater, radiant-heated floors. It's also easier to build: Framed with recycled steel, each room is assembled in a state-of-the-art factory before it's buttoned up and trucked to the building site.

IRVINE, Calif. --- Matt Summers struck out a career-high nine batters to lead No. 26 UC Irvine to a 7-1 win over Southern University Friday at Cicerone Field at Anteater Ballpark. The win lifts the Anteaters to 5-0 while Southern drops to 3-2.
Summers struck out six of the first nine batters he faced before Southern would get its first base runner in the top of the fourth on a base on balls. Left-fielder Taylor Roy followed with a single up the middle but Summers worked out the inning by inducing a double-play grounder to short followed by a second grounder to shortstop D.J. Crumlich to end the inning. The right-hander would retire 11 straight en route to his first win of the season. In eight innings of work Summers walked just one and held Southern to a run on two hits.
The Anteaters broke the scoreless tie in the bottom of the second on a double by Christian Ramirez to drive in Sean Madigan, who drew a walk and stole second. A wild pitch by Southern starter Cody Hall allowed Crumlich to score in the second and Brian Hernandez gave UCI a 3-0 lead with a run-scoring single to right-center in the fifth.
UCI widened the margin in the sixth with four runs. Drew Hillman doubled to lead off the inning and the Anteaters loaded the bases with consecutive walks for Ramirez, who drove in his second run with a sacrifice to right. Madigan scored on a fielder's choice and Crumlich and Jordan Fox slapped back-to-back RBI singles for the 7-0 lead.
Ramirez led UCI with two RBI while Crumlich went 3 for 5 with a run batted in. Fox and Shaeffer each added a pair of hits in the win.
Philip Ferragamo made his collegiate debut for UCI, striking out two in the ninth inning.
Hall fell to 0-2 after giving up six runs on nine hits in five innings.
UCI continues action at the MLB Urban Invitational Saturday against Bethune-Cookman at 1:00 p.m. The game will be held at the MLB Urban Youth Academy in Compton.


text: ST. LOUIS, Feb. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Post Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: POST), a leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of branded ready to eat cereals, today confirmed its previously issued guidance for fiscal 2013 Adjusted EBITDA to be between $210 million and $225 million, after considering the estimated year-over-year unfavorable commodity cost effect of between $10 million and $15 million. Post management continues to expect that capital expenditures will be in the range of $30 million to $35 million, inclusive of between $11 million and $13 million of capital costs associated with establishing stand-alone information systems separate from Ralcorp. Finally, management expects net interest expense to be between $80 million and $83 million in fiscal 2013. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120523/CG12577LOGO) Use of Non-GAAP Measures Management has determined that the Adjusted EBITDA metric presented herein is a key metric that will help investors understand the ultimate income and near-term cash flows generated by our business. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure which represents net earnings excluding income taxes, net interest expense, net other nonoperating income/expense, depreciation and amortization, noncash stock based compensation, nonrecurring cash compensation for retention/severance, costs to effect Post's separation from Ralcorp and to establish stand-alone systems and processes, mark to market adjustments on economic hedges and intangible asset impairments, if any. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating the Company's operating performance and liquidity because (i) it is widely used to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation and amortization, which can vary depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets, (ii) it presents a meaningful measure of corporate performance exclusive of the Company's capital structure and the method by which the assets were acquired, and (iii) it is a widely accepted financial indicator of a company's ability to service its debt, as the Company is required to comply with certain covenants and limitations that are based on variations of EBITDA in the Company's financing documents. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is not specified by United States generally accepted accounting principles. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies.

How to Treat Excessive Wind
Passing wind is something that the body normally does. This is the simple act of releasing excess gas from your stomach through your mouth and anus, or burping and farting, respectively. However, this becomes one of your socially embarrassing and awkward moments when you suddenly fart or burp with a loud noise and a smell. Excessive wind may just be one of your problems if you see it at this point of view. Socially, it is taboo for a person to belch or fart in public. This is even interpreted as a show of disrespect for the space of other people. This is why many people who suffer from having excessive wind in stomach would try to find a quick way to treat this.
Excessive Wind
Intestinal gas or wind is composed of the air swallowed in while drinking or talking and the gases that the digestion process naturally produces. The production of gas during digestion goes higher if there are foods that are still undigested yet reached the large intestine. Normally, the foods that arrive at the large intestine or colon are those which are partly digested. This way, the digestive tract will not have to exert too much effort in digesting these foods.
According to research, a normal person would pass wind at about 14 times every day. About 50% of this released is due to swallowed air. As per studies, about 40% of this released air is composed of carbon dioxide from the intestinal bacteria. This is odorless though. The other 10% is already air that is mixed with those produced by microbes. This is the portion that gives flatus an offensive smell. If you do not fix this problem immediately, you will always be at risk that you will be put at an embarrassing situation. You may successfully be able to stop the release of air as you flex your muscles but more pressure in the digestive tract will still release the air. A person still farts or burps as long as more air builds up inside the digestive system. The more you tease it with gas-producing foods, the more that you will experience problems with excess wind.
In flatulence, vapors are released as composed of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, oxygen, and at times, methane. These vapors will only become odorous when they are combined with sulfur released by the intestinal bacteria.
Excessive Wind Symptoms
Some signs can help you tell if you already have more than the normal flatulence. These are some of the symptoms that can tell you if you have excessive wind problems. These symptoms include:
- Bloating. This is caused by having excessive wind in stomach. This is due to the presence of air in the digestive tract. Bloating is usually caused by a disorder like irritable bowel syndrome. IBS is also involved with the abnormal movements of the intestinal muscles. The intestines also increase more pain sensitivity.
- Abdominal discomfort. Pain and discomfort are always felt when there is too much air pressure in the intestine. The left side of the large intestine is likely to feel pain. This is why it can be confused as heart disease. If the pain is felt on the right side, it may seem like you have appendicitis.
- Belching. People who swallow more air after eating tend to belch especially when air does not proceed into the stomach. This symptom usually happens to people with peptic ulcer disease, gastoparesis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease.
- Flatulence. In some cases, there are people who break wind 14 to 23 times a day. This could be caused by carbohydrate malabsorption.
Infants also get this kind of problem. They may experience abdominal pain and excess wind.
Excessive Wind Causes
Excess wind in your tummy is caused by many factors. If you know what these factors are, you may be more equipped to handle these causes and prevent them. This way, you will reduce the chances of having problems with excessive wind in your digestive system. Here are some of the causes of this problem:
- Swallowed air. This is the most common cause of excess wind in stomach. Air is swallowed when you eat and drink. This also happens when you eat and drink hurriedly, smoke, chew gums, suck hard candies or wear ill fitting dentures.
- Gas-producing foods. There are several kinds of foods which are identified to induce the production of excess air in the stomach. Foods that are rich in carbohydrates are flatulent foods. These are some of the foods that cause digestive problems and excessive farting and belching:
– Raffinose. This can be found in Brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, asparagus, whole grains, and other vegetables.
– Lactose. This is the sugar in milk. This is commonly found in ice cream, cheese, processed foods, and more.
– Sorbitol. This is usually found in fruits like apples, peaches, pears, and prunes.
– Fructose. This can be obtained from pears, onions, artichokes, and wheat.
– Fiber. This is found in beans, oat bran, peas, and other fruits.
- Breakdown of hard to digest foods. The small intestine cannot digest carbohydrates due to the lack of digestive enzymes. As a result, these undigested foods are passed into the large intestine where intestinal bacteria try to break down these foods. In the process, hydrogen, methane and carbon dioxide are released.
How to Get Rid of Excessive Wind through Diet
Foods are among the common causes of having a gassy condition. You may enjoy the food that you have eaten until such time when you will have an upset tummy. This is when you should think about moderation in everything that you do. Your diet can be adjusted in order to get rid of your gaseous problem. Here are some tips that can help you to maintain a safe diet:
- Avoid dairy products and other gassy foods. Yogurt is an exception though because it has probiotics or friendly bacteria. These can help in your digestion to help avoid excess intestinal air. This can save you from the nuisance and embarrassment of being a flatulence person.
- For infants with wind problems, this might be caused by the diet of the breastfeeding moms. It is the mother's responsibility to avoid eating gas-causing foods. The best diet for moms include dark leafy vegetables that can give more calcium, algae, kale, salmon and sardines.
- Add garlic, ginger and other spices whenever you cook beans and other flatulent vegetables.
- Take more probiotics in order to add more friendly bacteria into your colon. This can greatly help your digestion.
- Your manner of eating can also affect the amount of air that goes into your digestive system. Whenever you eat or you don't eat, this will still give you a gassy condition. Bloating may happen whenever you skip your meals. Even if you are not hungry, it is important to still take your meal. If you are hungry, you should also moderate your consumption of food.
- Do not drink carbonated beverages. Drink direct from the glass instead of using straw because this will only make you swallow more air than what your tummy can handle.
Home Remedies for Excessive Wind Symptoms
Flatulent people usually have problems with their diet. This could also be caused by swallowing air. Here are some things that you can do at home to try to solve this problem:
- Observe the kinds of foods that can trigger your wind problem. Take note of these foods and avoid them next time they are on your table.
- Group these problematic foods so that you can eliminate them one group at a time. Do this until you feel relieved.
- Another method is to start adding safer foods back to your diet. Do it one by one every 48 hours. This can also help you determine the problem foods to your system.
- If you think you have a problem with lactose intolerance, you can remove dairy products for 10 to 14 days from your meals. Follow your diary. You may also add liquid lactase in to your milk to help your system get used to milk. There are also chewable lactase tablets that help in lactose digestion. If you cannot stop drinking milk or other dairy products, look for lactose-reduced milk. These can be found in grocery stores.
- If you are worried about odorous farts, there are charcoal filter undergarments that you can wear. You can look this thing up online to see where you can buy one. This kind of undergarment is even more useful when you are out in the public.
- To treat belching, make some habitual changes. Find some ways to stop yourself from swallowing too much air. For instance, you can stop eating candies or chewing gums.
- Avoid overeating. This will only give way to a bloated tummy. If this happens, you will continue to build up more air inside your tummy. You can also solve your problem by limiting your consumption of fatty foods. This will help your digestive system release the foods inside and hence, pushing air into the small intestine. Doing this will help save you from discomfort.
Excessive Wind Remedy
Herbal remedies in the case of excessive stomach wind are effective. Some medications may have side effects on your digestive system. These herbal remedies are much safer. They can also be easily found in your kitchen or bought from the supermarket. They are not too expensive either, unlike some of the medications that you may take. These remedies include the following:
- Make juice out of a slice of half an inch of ginger and two to three gloves of garlic. Just estimate how much spiciness you can take. This can be taken with raw honey and water. This juice should be taken frequently.
- Use ginger and garlic on foods especially those which are considered as flatulent. For instance, you can cook cabbage, broccoli, and other gaseous vegetables to help reduce their gas-producing effects. This is how your system can still tolerate on eating and digesting them without giving you excess gases.
- Prepare juice out of wheatgrass or alfalfa sprouts. Wheatgrass juice is colored green with a sweet taste when you drink it. The juice from alfalfa sprouts is also mild. Drinking it would not be a problem. These are undoubtedly nutritious green juices that can soothe your upset stomach.
- Eat coriander seeds for instant relief.
- Prepare a cup of tomato soup. Put a pinch of black pepper into the tomato soup. This can help relieve excess wind due to constipation.
- Prepare two to three carrots. Slice them and put some ginger, lime juice, mint and grounded cumin seeds that are roasted. These can help improve your digestion. When your foods are fully digested, you will not have any problem with your stomach filling up with more air that it can contain.
- Mix 15 grams of rock salt that is already grounded. Mix in 100 grams of carom seeds. Mix these ingredients properly. Take half a teaspoon of the mixture to your cup of lukewarm water. This also gives instant relief.
- Mix half a teaspoon of black pepper powder, lemon juice and little ginger juice. Mix all these herbs and juice and drink it for relief.
- Take a tablespoon of powdered dry gooseberry. Drink this after eating for better digestion.
- Eat roasted fennel seeds to take out excess air from your abdomen.
- Take a cup of gourd juice, even from the one prepared in a bottle. Do this every morning even before you eat anything else. This is a good cure for digestive ailments.
- Celery has a carminative property that can help reduce the intestinal spasms that can cause you pain and discomfort.
- Belleric myrobalan is a good digestive herb. It can help ease the movement of food in the digestive system and regulate bowel movements.
- Bishop's weed is another carminative herb which is found out to be effective at treating flatulence.
- Cinnamon seeds can be taken along with water in order to help reduce the foul smell of flatus.
- Cardamom's menthol or water extract can help reduce the bad kind of smell during farting. It also helps minimize gastric discharges.
- Corianderh has chemical linoloom. This can help induce gastric secretion. This is an effective gas-expeller to remove more air from your system.
- Chebulic myrobalan serves as a natural laxative more so when it has properties that can help in better digestion.
- Turmeric also has properties that are good for the stomach.
- Fennel is another digestion helper. It can give a cooling effect to your stomach. Moreover, it acts just like peppermint as a mouth or breath freshener.
- Caraway has carvone, which refers to its oil generated during steam distillation. Carvone is carminative.
- Rosemary has stomachic and carminative properties.
- Fenugreek also helps calm down the abdominal spasms that you have.
- Clove can help reduce the bad smell of the flatus.
- Ginger helps in digestion and helps in breaking down food as well.
- Indian dill is another herb that has carvone. This is found in the herb's mericarp.
- Sweet flag is an effective carminative.
- Saffron is good for children with its mild stomachic properties.
How to Prevent Excess Wind in Stomach
Prevention is always better than having to deal with a sickness cure. During treatment, you will need to spend more time looking for the appropriate treatment and more money for the actual treatment. In terms of gassiness, you will be saved from the embarrassment of being teased by other people. Remember your grade school days and think about how students who accidentally farted were ridiculed. In fact, you may even earn a nickname if you happen to be flatulent in school. You are lucky if you happen to release flatus without any noise or smell. But if you are the one caught, you will be haunted by teasing forever.
Here are some tips that can help you prevent any embarrassing thing from happening due to an upset and gassy stomach:
- Be careful about swallowing air. Control how much you will swallow so that your digestive tract will not easily get filled up by air that it cannot contain. Eventually, it will come out through your mouth or anus. You can do the following things to control swallowed air:
– Eat and drink slowly.
– Do not gulp in your food and beverages.
– Eat properly instead of having your meals on the go. This will only let you swallow more air.
– Avoid eating or sucking hard candies.
– Do not chew gums.
– Ask your dentist to properly fit your dentures. Loose dentures give more space on your mouth where air is swallowed.
– Chew your food properly before swallowing it. Chewing is the first step in proper digestion.
– Do not use straw when drinking. It is much better to drink your beverages from the glass.
– Do not smoke. The more you inhale smoke, the more you swallow air as well.
– Stay calm. Anxiety will only make you swallow more air.
- Talk to your dietitian or an expert health professional to ask about your balanced diet. This means taking out gaseous foods and drinks. Instead, you can take more foods that are not considered as gas-producing.
- Write a food diary. This will help study the foods that can actually add to your problem. With every food that you have a negative reaction to, take note of the symptoms that came with the foods that your tummy is upset with. Once you have identified what these gas-producing foods are, control your consumption of them.
- Soak beans overnight. Drain the beans from water and cook them in fresh water. This process may help release natural sugars that are currently found in beans. If you do this preventive measure, you can avoid feeling bloated. Pains and stomach cramps will be relieved as well.
- If the causes of your symptoms are dairy products, it is high time to reduce your consumption of these foods. It is even safer to totally stop eating these dairy products. This is usually the problem with lactose intolerance.
- Do not rely on laxatives.
- Stop yourself from overeating. This will also result to bloating. It is much better to eat five to six smaller meals rather than three large meals.
- Treat your constipation immediately. The longer you stay constipated, the more excess gases you will accumulate in your tummy.
- Buy over the counter anti gas medication. For instance, you can have Beano, a food enzyme that can help bacteria break down grains, vegetables, and other sugars. The faster these foods are digested and broken down, the fewer problems there will be.
- Lactose intolerance can be solved with lactase enzyme supplements. There are enzymes of this kind that can also be bought even without prescription.
- Exercise and move your body well.
When to Call for Medical Help
Are you wondering if all of your remedies will work? There are times when your gassy condition is not only brought about by excessive wind. There are times when it is a symptom of more serious digestive problems. If you do not immediately seek for medical help while you still can, it may be too late for you to solve your problem. Observe the number of times that you fart or burp. If it is normal for you to so at about 40 times a day, do not be alarmed if you are still releasing flatus below this usually frequency. However, there are happenings that should alarm you and let you call a doctor immediately, such as:
- Constipation
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Cramps on the abdomen
- Fever
- Nausea
- Changing bowel movement habits
- Abdominal pain
- Abdominal swelling, which could refer to the rounded belly
- Bloody stool

The doubles team of Tallmadge residents Tim Springirth and April Springirth captured the mixed doubles championship during the 2014 Portage Open Tennis Tournament July 21 at Kent Roosevelt High School.
The team began playing tennis in high school.
Both April and Tim Springirth began playing tennis in high school. Although they were making their second tournament appearance as a doubles team, this year was the team's first attempt at the Portage Open Tennis Tournament.
"The atmosphere, the people and the fact that they opened it up to people outside of Portage County brought us here," Tim Springirth said. "We had a good experience. We're planning to come back next year."
Tim also was expected to compete in the men's singles competition later this week. Results were not available at press time.

'Ender's Game' explores complexity of youth, isolation and warfare
By Piya Sinha-Roy
LOS ANGELES Oct 30 (Reuters) - Based on a story written three decades ago and set in a future dystopian Earth where children are manipulated into fighting an enemy race, the film "Ender's Game" could make its young adult and family audience ponder what ails present-day society.
Out in theaters on Friday, "Ender's Game" follows the journey of young boy Ender Wiggin, played by Asa Butterfield, who is singled out from childhood for his superior intellect and put through advanced warfare training.
Ender is isolated from his comrades and manipulated into commanding war against a hostile alien race by Colonel Graff, played by Harrison Ford. In doing so, Ender begins to garner a fascination and connection to the alien enemy known as Formics.
"It's about young people being asked to accept huge responsibilities, being trained for warfare because it's proposed that they have this capacity to absorb information more quickly than older people," Ford told Reuters.
Based on Orson Scott Card's novel of the same name published in 1985, "Ender's Game" is the first in a series of books, short stories and comics by the author, all part of the so-called "Enderverse," which may form the basis of a multipart film franchise for movie studio Lions Gate.
The film, which also stars Viola Davis, Ben Kingsley and Oscar-nominated rising star Hailee Steinfeld, features prominent themes of the emotional impact of warfare on young people who have been manipulated from childhood through propaganda to develop a hatred for the enemy, an alien race.
Ender's warfare training comes from videogames and large-scale computer simulations, displayed with striking special effects in the film.
Butterfield said "Ender's Game," while written three decades ago, was "scarily accurate" in how it resonated with present day issues. Continued...

In Part 1, we reviewed some basic definitions and learned about the importance of on-site SEO and the sometimes overlooked art of internal linking. Today, we'll look at off-page factors, with five methods you can start using right now to build links.
First, I need to stress a very important point. You should identify the keywords you want to be ranked for and use those keywords in your copy, and especially in the anchor text of your links.
How many of you have used this phrase: "to learn more about Acme Widgets click here," where the link is on the word "here." If Acme Widgets is the keyword phrase you want to optimize, then make sure it's the phrase that has the link. If you need a primer on identifying the right keywords for your site, see my keyword research article.
Directory Submissions
Directory submissions are still one of the most powerful and safest link building strategies. However, you need to be careful to find the quality directories that will benefit you the most. They're becoming more difficult to find.
DMOZ should be one of your first stops. Get your site listed there for free. DMOZ is also a great resource for mining other directories to submit to by drilling down by specify categories or geographic regions.
Directory Critic is another great resource that focuses on providing comprehensive lists of directories both paid and free and includes a points rating. Many of these directories are new, so spend most of your time on the general and niche lists.
Do you have a blog on your site? If not, you may want to consider adding one. Search engines love new, fresh content, so blogging is a great and easy way to keep your Web site up-to-date.
Google's Blogger or WordPress are good places to start. If you plan to create a blog, block out time on your calendar so you remember to make frequent updates. No one likes a blog that only has a few posts here and there.
Writing Articles and Press Releases
If you're an authority on a topic, or have a passion for what you do, consider writing an article about a specific topic on your site. By writing these articles, you'll have the opportunity to place a quality, relevant link back to your site. Ezine Articles is a good (free) place to get started.
If you or your public relations agency writes press releases, make sure to submit them online. Several companies still send them out via fax. You're missing a great opportunity for some good relevant links.
Try to find sites like PR Newswire that let you submit your article with links back to your site. Once your release goes out, it will be picked up by other feeds and land on other news sites — netting you more links.
Social Posting
Social media sites like Digg, StumbleUpon and Technorati are great bookmarking sites to help others with similar interests find you. Your site visitors will then have the opportunity to "rank" your site or page. Socially bookmarking your site may net you many good backlinks if your niche is popular.
Video Submissions
People enjoy watching video. The available technology has enabled almost anyone to capture video and post it online. Take advantage of sites like YouTube by creating relevant videos and posting them, where you can once again point a link back to your Web site.
These, of course, are just some of the basic places to start your link building campaign. There are many other places and methods for placing links.
As you come across some of these methods, be careful of placing links just anywhere. It could be considered spam.
Set a goal to start placing one or two links back to your site per day. In time, you'll start seeing your rankings rise and the traffic to your site increase.
For ongoing linking advice, be sure to check out the weekly Promotion & Link Building column by Justilen Gaspard and Sage Lewis.

Even though many Republican politicians are fighting against the growth of alternative energy, it seems as though there are many Americans that are attempting to change the world for the better by installing home solar systems, and adding to the grid rather than just using up energy.
Installations of solar panels in America more than doubled last year, according to a new report by the GTM Research and the the Solar Energy Industries Association, a national trade group.
The U.S. added a record 1,855 megawatts of photovoltaic capacity in 2011, a 109% increase from 2010. The report projects that new installations will increase further to more than 2,800 megawatts this year. So what's behind this incredible market growth? It's the falling prices of solar panels. The average solar system price fell 20% last year.

If you have a good skill or education that is in demand at will employment doesn't scare you one damn bit. Now if you have no major skills or education then at will means you aren't safe in your job unless you stand out and are hard working and go above and beyond.

This relates to the 2004 Civic you were talking about. My parents, grandparents, uncles, etc. ALWAYS paid cash for their cars and, because of this, practically ALWAYS kept their cars a very long time.
I laugh sometimes when I see the sticker prices on cars these days because I wonder how many people would actually buy what they are driving if they had to write out a $40,000 check at the time of purchase.
But for some reason people don't mind the $400 or $600 a month they pay though.

I might use a debit card. It's the same as cash, comes straight out of the checking account. Credit card, different thing.
I use cash for all everyday purchases, including debit card or writing check at grocery. I don't necessarily always have cash on me. Direct deposit, no need to go to bank. Not sure, but seems as though most employers don't give a choice these day. They don't cut paychecks, they deposit pay direct into your bank account--at least mine does.

So. HR comes in and fires 5, and leaves 4 to run the office. Then, the corporation shuts down whole offices in three other major cities and redirects their customers to be serviced by the 4 remaining souls who still have a job in the Columbus office.
Well, that's not very nice.

Laugh all you want. With 0% APR, why would anyone fork over $40,000? And they don't mind a $650 a month car payment because they can afford it. Those, for the most part, are at-will employees, too.

They kept the most widely trained workers, and fired the more narrowly trained workers. So, corporate figures the ones they kept will just have to worker longer harder unto oblivion...cuz they could get the ax next. After all, its an at will labor state.

I hate making payments of any kind. They said it will establish credit....I have A1 credit. But financed it anyway!
Well after the second payment , it was driving me nuts so I paid It off. Aaaaah! What a relief.
The problem is a lot of people don't live within their means, and they end up in debt, because they had to have IT yesterday. I noticed that the generations don't know how to sacrifice. They have now what took our parents years to work for to get.
I know there's inflation but I can't rest if I owe anything to anyone, but the kids today think. nothing of charging and making payments. Oy!

In business it does not make sense to pay higher salary to individuals with so called "years of service" when you can hire someone off college for much cheaper price tag. Some may argue the experience factor but there is no direct correlation between years of service and working skill, say after 5-10 years.
Why should I pay 3 times of a salary to someone with 20+ years when I can hire 3 guys with 5 years of experience?

With the way most people work nowadays, many younger people do not stay in those positions for very long, so you may risk losing money and qualified people by hiring younger people. Someone who has worked for a company for longer may be making more money, but they are knowledgeable and will likely remain with the company for a lot longer, meaning you won't have to train new people which could slow down production, and also bringing younger people into the company means they will likely have young children to add to their insurance whereas an older person may have children out of the house already. Not to mention younger workers may have to take days off of work to care for their children. There are a lot of pros to keeping the old dogs, so to speak.

AC switched to HEAT while driving. PLEASE HELP
I am in South Florida and its starting to get real hot outside.
I have owned my 2004 escalade for all of maybe 2 weeks.
I was on the interstate today driving and all of a sudden my cold air switched to HEAT.I did everything trying to get the cool air back adjusting controls with no luck it just continued to blow hot heated air.
30 miles later when I got off I95 I shut the car off and restarted it and bam AC is blowing ice cold again.... Can someone please tell me what the heck I need to do to repair this. Bummed to be already dropping cash on it , I spent everything I had buying it.
- 05-22-13 03:55 PM #2Originally Posted by OneLuv1979
Remove the kick panel on the passenger side to access it
I removed mine and took it apart and cleaned the contacts inside and it hasn't done it again
Re: AC switched to HEAT while driving. PLEASE HELP
OK Thanks for the quick reply what does this thing look like and where is it located under there?
I don't mind buying a new one if needed... Just cant have this continue.
Is there any tricks to remove it?
- 05-22-13 10:47 PM #4Originally Posted by OneLuv1979
I am going to warn you NOT to have the key on with it unmounted as it can be damaged quick
There is no tricks to remove it just two screws hold it in place
Use a ratchet with a 7mm socket(not sure its been so long since I had mine out) to remove the screws and the kick panel pulls out
FYI there are three screws(one above the tranny hump which is a tight area) that hold the kick panel in place
Re: AC switched to HEAT while driving. PLEASE HELP
Thanks I'm going to wait until it does it again and make sure the passenger and rear ac still work.
Sounds like a fairly easy repair. Any clue how much a actuator cost?
- 05-23-13 12:20 PM #6Originally Posted by OneLuv1979
But the rear air is controlled separately from the front
Re: AC switched to HEAT while driving. PLEASE HELP
I found this on a google search.... Its saying that the passenger actuator is under the kick panel..
Now im confused.... Is it under the kick panel for sure?
I drove the lade last night around midnight and I could hear something clicking making noise exactly where u say the actuator is located...
- 05-24-13 01:12 PM #8Originally Posted by OneLuv1979
The passenger side temp door actuator is on the top of the hvac housing along with the recycle air and vent door actuators(you would have to remove the top of the dash to get to those)
Re: AC switched to HEAT while driving. PLEASE HELP
Cool thanks.. Any chance you have a part number?
I plan on doing it as soon as I pin point that it is only the drivers side.
Thanks a lot I truly appreciate the help.

Re: AC switched to HEAT while driving. PLEASE HELP
Well fellows ours started the "knocking on a door" noise a week ago but continued to blow cold AC air (drivers side) until this past Tuesday, when the AC turned to heat (drivers side only), passenger side remained cold AC air.
I removed the passenger side kick panel, the last 7mm screw is truly a PIA especially putting it back in! As Cadillac man stated the module that controls the drivers vents is located right above the trans tunnel. I used a 7/32" rather than the 5.5mm to remove the module. Again 1 of the screws are a PIA but not as bad as the kick panel.
I removed the module and pried it open. The contacts were clean as was everything else. I applied white lithium grease to the gears snapped the module back together and reinstalled. I haven't heard the "door knocking" nor had the drivers side AC switch to heat since.
Crossing my fingers that its another "free fix". I will update if the module fails.
Re: AC switched to HEAT while driving. PLEASE HELP
OneLuv...the best deal i have found on parts is Number 1 GM Parts on E Bay. They are actually Roger dean Chevrolet in West Palm on Okeechobee. They will honor the E Bay price at the parts counter...BIG discount.

Re: AC switched to HEAT while driving. PLEASE HELP
Mine just started doing this as well. I did some checking and the panel you have to remove is below the dash on the passenger side, Kind of like if you were sitting in the passenger seat and lifted your feet your toes would touch it. Not the traditional kick panel just forward of the door.
I found this helpful. http://www.sparkys-answers.com/2011/...vers-side.html

Suited our needs just fine. We used it when our puppy broke his leg to add a little extra wrap to his cast each week. We took him into the vet weekly, and if he needed a bandage change they would charge us $30. This was a huge roll, and for under $5 it saved us several $30 bandage changes. We still have some left, not sure what we'll do with it now.

2000 750il torque converter removal/installation
Has anyone actually personally as a DIY replaced the torque converter in their 750il ?
I am looking for a tutorial for the V-12 transmission/torque converter removal and installation from an actual DIY V-12 owner (thanks, but it's not the same procudure as the V-8). Once I complete this task, I will share my experience with the forum, but for right now I really need V-12, 750il SPECIFIC guidance.
Service manuals go gung-ho on removing everything in sight, yet I know from past experience that certain jobs can be performed leaving certain things installed, such as exhaust systems.
Thanks in advance for any assistance specific to the V-12 750il.

LONDON – There is a real danger that corporate leaders, making decisions that seem correct behind closed doors, end up being tone-deaf in a soundproof room. When the doors open and the decisions are announced, it is clear that board members are often deeply disconnected from the world's economic and social realities.
Consider executive pay packages. Board remuneration committees can explain them logically with complex formulas to justify them, and yet often they are completely out of line with common sense.
Board members need to rethink what they are doing in those rooms, and here individual directors' guiding principle should be the "veil of ignorance" proposed by the political philosopher John Rawls in his 1971 treatise A Theory of Justice. Rawls proposed the veil of ignorance as a way to derive principles of social justice to which anyone who did not know in advance their identity and position in society would consent.
How would the veil of ignorance work in a boardroom? Board directors' role is not simply to ensure return on investment; it is also to make decisions with due consideration for the community, employees, suppliers, consumers, and even the overall economy. The decisions made in that room have an impact beyond the company, so it is not just shareholders who hold board members accountable for their choices.

Energy Bill Passed by Senate Committee
Members of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee passed the American Clean Energy Leadership Act, its version of an energy bill, yesterday. Like the House climate change bill, the American Clean Energy and Security Act, the Senate legislation does not address windows and/or fenestration specifically, but it includes numerous measures designed to improve building energy efficiency.
Among the provisions in the bill are calls for the Department of Energy to support updates of the International Energy Conservation Code and ASHRAE -90.1 to achieve at least every three years to achieve overall energy savings of at least 30 percent compared to previous editions. DOE would establish specific targets for each year three years in advance "at the maximum level of energy efficiency that is technologically feasible and life-cycle cost effective and on a path to achieving net zero-energy buildings."
In addition to strengthening the model codes, the legislation includes provisions to require states to that their codes meet similar goals as those established by the model codes, as well as financial assistance to states to enforce their energy codes. The bill would also require the establishment of a voluntary, advanced energy efficiency building code.
Under the bill, the federal government would also provide a variety of funding and grants to assist in the retrofitting of homes and commercial buildings to make them more energy efficient. One program would provide financial assistance for retrofitting multifamily housing and replacement of pre-1976 manufactured housing. Another program would increase spending on low-income weatherization programs.
The bill includes funding for states to implement programs that would provide grants to homeowners that undertake prescriptive and/or performance-based energy efficiency upgrades. Although the qualifying prescriptive steps are not spelled out, the bill would offer grants of $1,000 for measures that achieved overall energy savings of 10 percent and $2,000 for energy savings of more than 20 percent.
Grants of $3,000 would be available projects achieving a 20 percent whole-house reduction in energy consumption, based on a performance-based scale, with an additional $150 for each additional 1 percent reduction up to $12,000. Also designed to encourage more energy efficient upgrades of homes, the bill would create the Home Energy Retrofit Finance Program to provide money to states to help homeowners finance such projects.
Other provisions in the bill include funding for programs to support builder and contractor training and assessment, efforts to better measure and track building energy performance, and the establishment of the residential high performance zero-net energy buildings initiative. The goal of that initiative would be to develop and disseminate technologies and practices that will enable the design and construction of zero-net energy buildings by 2015, and make such practices cost effective for any new residential building by 2020.
The main goal of the Senate legislation is to expand the use of renewable sources of energy such as wind, solar and geothermal sources, as well as deal with concerns about the nation's high-voltage power grid. The bill would also open up much of the Gulf Coast to offshore drilling. A number of Democrats are unhappy that the bill does not go far enough in pushing renewable energy. Several Republicans would like to see measures added to increase the use of nuclear energy, as well as domestic oil and gas production.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told the Associated Press he hopes to take up energy legislation after the August recess, although it's uncertain whether it will be merged with separate legislation addressing climate change.

Sport package E38
How can I tell if my 1995 740i has the sport package?
By the van number

you can tell in a couple ways in the later model e38's...if you have no chrome trim around your doors and windows (ie you have blackout tape on your trim), your car is likely a sport. if you have the 18" m-parallel wheels, it is likely a sport....if you have steptronic transmission (ie. a + / - on the shifter console), you likely have a sport...also, the sport version has the 4 spoke steering wheel, not a 3 spoke steering wheel.
I appreciate it guys. I have the four spoke steering wheel, but that's all! What exactly do I look for on the bin #?
Sport version has 3 spokes, non-Sport is 4 spokes.
There are websites that you plug the VIN into and it will give you the original build sheet.

Thanks for y'all's help! One more question. How do I reset my mpg. You know the one that reads digitally! Cause I had my cats cut off today and wanted to see how much better my gas milage would get!
The MID is the control unit for the OBC. When you press the BC button (on the MID...not the turn indicator stalk)...that will bring up the OBC features on the MID that gives you CONS1 & CONS2 . You should see the word "SET" on the far right of the MID...press the soft-key button below the word SET... for whichever one of the two CONS counts you want to reset.
The pic below is the display for the TIME/Clock features of the e38 MID...but you can still see the SET button on the far right...it is the same for resetting the OBC features called up when you press the BC button on the MID:
Below is the MID from my 99 540iT...but you can see that the OBC feature CONS1 is called up on the MID...if you press the SET button on the far right, CONS1 would be reset to 0 and a new AVG MPG calculation will begin:
And ditto about the "sport pkg"...it wasn't available on the e38 in the USA until the 1999 model year:
Get a hand book. Mine was from e-bay for my E30.
I now know I don't have the sport package. But my car was actually bought in Germany by my grandfathers friend. The manual for the car is all in German and its a real pain so I love this forum! I'm glad my car was made in its homeland though. I love my gear box it's wicked!

Best New Fiction is a monthly segment dedicated to highlighting the most interesting and noteworthy releases that will be published over the next thirty days.
Sea of Hooks
By Lindsay Hill
Oh boy. First time author Lindsay Hill's debut novel has me hooked.
Telling the tale of Christopher Westall, a boy raised in the 50s and 60s as the son of alcoholic father, Sea of Hooks isn't afraid to delve deep into the darker side of the human experience.
As a child Westall is damaged soul with vivid imagination who escapes to a fantasy world of his own creation after suffering a series of traumatic events including, but not limited to: sexual abuse at the hands of a trusted tutor and the suicide of one of his parents. It's not all doom and gloom however. Hope and healing factor heavily into his adult life thanks to the wise Doctor Thorn and a life changing pilgrimage to Bhutan.
Strange. Fractured. Poetic. Read an excerpt here.
Release Date: November 1st (United States)
The Creator
By Gurun Eva Minervudottir
Translated by Sarah Bowen
I'm in the middle of reading this one right now and all I can really say at this point is, wow, are all people in Iceland this $#^%#ing crazy?
Poor Lóa. When her car gets a flat out in the middle of strangeville you know things aren't going to go well for her. She seeks out the aid of man who lives close by, and feeling guilty for neglecting her daughter, proceeds to steal one of his sex dolls for her.
See what I'm saying!?! Surprisingly though, this one is turning into a very excellent look at separation, grief, and loneliness. It's much, much more than the initial shock value would suggest.
Release Date: November 7th (United States)
A Permanent Member Of The Family
By Russell Banks
Celebrated American author Banks (The Sweet Hereafter, Lost Memory of Skin) returns with a new collection of twelve heartbreaking stories.
Banks is one of my all-time favorite authors and he's got quite the knack for tackling moral issues and breaking down complex situations into their most affecting, simplest form. In his tales humanity always wins out above all else, and the stories in this collection should prove to be no exception.
Release Date: November 12th (United States)
The Fata Morgana Books
By Jonathan Littell
Translated by Charlotte Mandell
Littell (The Kindly Ones) returns with a collection of four new beautifully bizarre novellas that were written between 2007 and 2012.
Who exactly is narrating? What the hell is going on? Those are the two questions that will be at the forefront of your brain while enjoying this one.
Are these dreams? Are those hermaphrodites? Reality is about to feel sorta sexy, but also completely disorienting as Littell takes you on journey after journey through your darkest desires and your greatest obsessions.
Release Date: November 12th (United States)
A True Novel
By Minae Mizumura
Translated by Juliet Winters Carpenter and Ann Sherif
This 2-volume, imaginative, Yomiuri Literature Prize winning retelling of Bronte's Wuthering Heights would not have been on my radar if not thanks to a well executed review by Hannah Vose over at the Three Percent website.
I could make a feeble attempt at adding my own $0.02 to the mix, but she's pretty much nailed it, calling A True Novel, "a work of literature not to miss."
Release Date: November 15th (United States)
The Bill: For Palma Vecchio, at Venice
By László Krasznahorkai
Translated by George Szirtes
Need I say more than László Krasznahorkai and George Szirtes? The author/translator team that won this year's Best Translated Book Award (Satantango) are reunited for the first time since winning the prize (Ottilie Mulzet handled the translation duties for the more recent Seiobo There Below).
The Bill features one glorious, eleven-page spanning sentence about the Venetian painter Palma Vecchio. Of the course the book itself spans 32 pages, and since it's part of an art series it also promises to include twelve stunning color plates that I'm sure will enhance Krasznahorkai's always complex, clever use of language.
Release Date: November 15th (United States)
Report from the Interior
By Paul Auster
Yup. I'm cheating a little bit. It's November so cut me a little slack. This one might not be fiction, but it's Paul Auster (Sunset Park, The Book of Illusions) so it's more than worth a mention.
Report from the Interior promises to be even more autobiographical than Winter Journal, the volume that preceded it. Here we find Auster's recollections on the profound moments from his youth that would forever shape him as a human being. Growing up in the post-war 1950s he recalls loving cartoons and film as a boy and delves deep into his first attempts at writing.
Release Date: November 19th (United States)
By César Aira
Translated by Chris Andrews
None of Argentinian master Aira's works are to be missed and Shantytown, his ninth novel overall, promises to be another worthwhile addition to already impressive body of work.
Maxi loves spending time at the gym and helping out the Flores slum's local pickers of trashed goods load up their treasures. Unfortunately for him however, he finds himself, and his sister, on the radar of a bad cop who will stop at nothing to destroy a local drug ring.
César Aira's gritty exploration into the shocking urban violence of a Buenos Aires slum is sure to be an engaging, worthwhile endeavor.
Release Date: November 20th (United States)
Do any of my picks look interesting to you? Which titles are you most looking forward to reading in November?

September 12, 2016
On Sunday, a small group of National Football League players risked their careers, their endorsements and their livelihoods. They did so through the simple act of refusal. They stood in the proudest tradition of athletes who have used their platforms for social change, and they have already felt a backlash that would ring familiar, almost note-for-note, to anyone acquainted with what that last generation had to endure.
September 28, 2013
On Sept. 26, lawyers from the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) urged a federal judge to grant class action status to a lawsuit challenging prolonged solitary confinement in California prisons. The case, Ashker v. Brown, was filed on behalf of 10 prisoners in the Security Housing Unit (SHU) at the notorious Pelican Bay State Prison who have spent over 10 years, and as many as 29 years, in solitary confinement.

Damu's idea of revolutionary change meant, first, seeing the need for a radical transformation of the world and then having confidence that ordinary people, working people, are capable of making it happen. When they do rise up and try to fashion a new world, with all the mistakes humans are capable of making, he believed you have to support them.

The new book by Manning Marable, "Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention," will help us to get a deeper understanding of Malcolm X and the times we're living in now. This will not be a direct result of what Marable has done, but rather of what needs to happen now because of what he has done.

Second Chance is a unique program at City College of San Francisco that provides academic and other services to parolees. It's the birth child of the Extended Opportunity Program or, as one of its founding fathers calls it, the Experienced Oppressed People's Program, hard won by Third World students in the '60s.

Sylvia Darensburg, an African-American mother of three in East Oakland, experiences the reality of transit inequality. Sylvia relies on AC Transit to get to her job during the day and to college classes at night, each trip taking an hour or more each way.

The Egyptian revolution was successful because it had no leaders, only coordinators of bottom-up energy. This new form of leadership among Egypt's – and ultimately the world's – young people suggests there will be many more such surprises in the future, both at home and abroad.

Price still hoping to own Lonsdale belt outright
The Lonsdale belt is the oldest championship belt in boxing. It's presented by the British Boxing Board of Control to the British champion in each division, but the fighter only gets to keep it if they win it and then defend it three times. Current British heavyweight champion David Price is worried that he may be unable to claim a Lonsdale belt outright because there is a lack of serious domestic rivals. The 6'8 Liverpool puncher won the British heavyweight title last year by defeating Sam Sexton, and made quick fire defenses against Audley Harrison and Matt Skelton. He needs one more notch to own a Lonsdale belt outright, but there are currently no suitable active contenders willing to fight him.
Price (15-0) is now boxing at world class and meets American double world title challenger Tony Thompson (36-3) in a 12 rounder at Liverpool's Echo Arena on February 23rd on Wealth TV and WealthTV.com.
Price who is also Commonwealth title holder explained, "Winning a Lonsdale belt is not my priority but at the same time it would be a great honour to own one alongside other great fighters. I would not turn it down as long as we can get an opponent who would raise me to the challenge. It would have to be against a fighter who I believe is world level like Dereck Chisora or Tyson Fury. My friend, David Haye is about but he seems focused solely on getting a fight against Vitali Klitschko. There isn't anyone else I can raise myself for, but who knows? Someone might come through and I can keep the belt outright."
Price's friend Kevin Satchell (9-0) makes the first defence of his British flyweight title against Luke Wilton (13-2-1) on the same bill.
Darren Hamilton (12-2) risks his British light-welterweight championship against another Liverpool boxer, Steve Williams (13-1).
Adil Anwar (18-1) who hopes to challenge the winner also boxes and promoter Frank Maloney hopes he will be involved in the fourth 12 rounder on the card.
Others boxers on the bill include David Burke (26-2), Paul Edwards (9-2), Sean Dodd (4-0), Louis Cuddy (6-0), Neil Perkins (2-0), Steven Lewis (2-0), Andy Colquhoun (5-0) and Peter Gallagher (1-0).
Tickets can be purchased £230 (VIP including meal and inner ringside seat), £95 (Ringside), £70 and £40 at www.echoarena.com www.frankmaloney.com or 0844 8000 400.
WealthTV is available nationally on Verizon FiOS TV channel 169 and 669 in HD, AT&T U-Verse TV channels 470 and 1470 in HD, along with over 100 cable systems across the country as well as on line viewing via computer and numerous connected devices and via www.wealthtv.com.

Ciijan alphabet was invented by Christian Meredith as an alternative alphabet for English. The letter styles were inspired by the Armenian, Nuskha-Khucuri (Georgian) and Amharic (Ethiopian) alphabets, while the inspiration for the actual letter shapes comes from cursive Russian, cursive Latin and Greek, and the vowel system was inspired from Hebrew and Arabic.
All human beings are born equal.
