Posting Regularly and the Lull
To start with, I used to write and publish a blog post once per week. My ideas were flowing though so I increased this to three times per week. Sometimes I wrote more times per week than this. Sometimes less. I think that it is best to write when you are feeling inspired to do so. If you labour at it, then your readers will be able to sense your lack of enthusiasm in your writing. You will also, possibly, lose your motivation to blog at times if you do this. In the past, no matter how much I have loved writing my blog posts, I have taken a step back from it. Happenings in life sometimes mean that blogging is put aside for a bit. I do not think that this is a bad thing. Spending hours on social media, reading and commenting on blog posts, taking part in Twitter Parties, Linkies, writing and publicising posts all can, quite frankly, take over your life if you are not careful (*can you tell I have experienced this?).
If I do have a lull in my motivation to post, I think about why I started my blog in the first place. I remember my passion for the topics I write about. My blog is my piece of the internet, I do not have to force myself to write if I don't want to. I have a break and come back to it with some fresh ideas from my everyday life.
Being Self-Employed and Freebies(?!)
When I first started to get products to review and include Sponsored Posts (posts I am paid money/vouchers for), I registered as Self-Employed. This is important for everyone who is gaining money/products from their blog. It is not classed just as a hobby as you are actually gaining, financially, from it so it needs declaring to the Tax Man.
Many bloggers receive products to review. Some people see these as 'freebies'. They are certainly not free! A lot of hard work goes into testing the product, writing the review post, publishing and publicising it on different social media. Much time and effort goes into these posts so insulting a blogger by telling them that they are gaining 'freebies' from their blog is frowned upon greatly.
SEO, Page Rank and Domain Authority
What, what and what? As I progressed into the world of blogging, I realised that these were all important in raising awareness of my blog, my blog brand and the opportunities that come my way.
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is important as when someone searches Google, for example, it will help my website to be nearer the top of the search results page. There are many ways to optimise your blog so that search engines can find it more easily. I find that the WordPress SEO by Yoast plugin is very straight forward to use and guides me through each step to optimise each post I write. Including keywords (repeated words or phrases in each post and in your title as well as your URL about your post topic), including a Meta Description (about 156 characters worth of summary that will appear in search engine results), including at least 300 words in each blog post, adding photographs (that include descriptions on them, some including the key word/phrase) , using follow links (links to other websites so that when search engines search your site, they are directed to that site as a link that has not been paid for) or no-follow links (links that you have been paid to place in a post. It is against Google's rules to put a follow link in your post if it is paid for. Your site can lose it's search engine ranking if they discover one of these on your website) are some of the things to consider.
Page Ranking used to be checked regularly by Google to determine how popular your website/blog was. It has not been updated for quite a long time so any new blogs have a Page Rank of 0 or N/A. Some emails you receive from a company may ask you for your Page Rank for certain opportunities but I have found that they are more likely to as your Domain Authority (DA) now, if anything. This is just another statistic to show how important your website is. DAs of about 30 are good for a blogger. DA measures the number and quality of links from other, more established websites/blogs, such as when these bloggers write comments on your blog posts.
In all honesty, I get asked for my TOTS100 ranking more than anything at the moment. All you need to do for this is to add your details to the TOTS100 site and they will give you a little badge to place on your website. You can check your rank (it is updated each month) on your login page.
Favourite Linkies and Blog Hops
Another way to get people to know about your blog and read your posts is by joining linkies and blog hops. Here, you can add one blog post to a list by adding the URL (e.g. this post's URL is http://dillydrops.co.uk/one-year-blogging-learned-part-two) of the post, then you click on the links other bloggers have put onto the page to comment on their posts. Usually, you only need to comment on a couple of posts but I often comment on more as I love finding and reading new blogs.
Here are a list of my favourite linkies:
Read with Me Linky – for posts book related.
#Mummy Monday Linky – for any Mummy related posts.
#MagicMoments Linky – lovely linky to celebrate special moments, first tooth, new job, etc.
#TriedTested Linky – for linking up posts where you have reviewed a product or service.
Share with Me Linky – for linking up your general posts.
Competitions Linky – for linking up your competition posts.
#WordlessWednesday Linky – for sharing a photo each week, with no words.
#WHWH Linky – What's Happened? What's Happening? For posts about places you have visited/going to visit.
#Playtime Linky – Link up your posts about playing here.
#TBTL – Throwback Thursday Linky for posts older than a month.
#singleparentlinky – A fortnightly linky for single parents. A great support network for those parenting alone.
#SoFoLo Linky – Social, Follow Love Link up to this to get more followers on different Social Media each week
#PoCoLo Linky – Post, Comment, Love for getting more comments on your blog posts and commenting on other people's blog posts. Victoria also runs the #NewbieShowcase here, (an introduction to your blog, written by you and shared) you can see my Newbie Showcase here.
52 Weeks of Gratitude Linky – where you write a blog post about what you are grateful for this week. This is one I have not joined in with yet but always want to find time for it when I read posts that others have written.
#wordoftheweek Linky – where you choose one word that sums up your week to write about it.
#recipeoftheweek Linky – link up with your recipe of the week.
Silent Sunday Linky – for linking up one photo from your week, with no words so that others can comment on it.
#MySundayPhoto – similar to Cosmic Girlie's Linky (above)
(Please note that these should be correct as of November 2014, if I need to make any amendments, please comment below).
This is by no means and exhaustive list-there are loads of linkies out there! If you search for the hashtags on Twitter, you will find posts that have linked up to these linkies as they are usually shared on here. (*I will add to this list as I find new linkies).
A Final Note
I think that the most important thing to do to be a successful blogger is to keep enjoying what you are writing about. When blogging becomes a chore, have a break from it for a little while and re-assess why you started blogging in the first place.
I hope these tips have been useful. Do you have any more advice that you could share with somebody thinking of starting blogging? Do you have any more linkies that you could add to the list?

Stephanie Blankenburg: Cameron and Merkel's budget deal is an ideological victory that solves none of Europe's deep political rifts

Let the poor spend big business's cash pileStewart LansleyStewart Lansley: Think of it as an emergency transfusion, transferring idle money to where it can help those in need – and revive the economy

I imagine I'm not alone in wondering whether or not our business should have an "app" for our clients. After all, all the cool kids have them, right? I'm approaching it with much more caution than most. Apps can be great… if there's a reason for them.
Many people probably don't even know what an app is. In short, it's an application that people can download to their smartphones. The most popular, of course, is the Apple iPhone, but Google's Android phones aren't far behind. And then there are the lonely Blackberries. There aren't nearly as many, but it can make sense to develop for them if the app is business-focused.
You would think that apps mint money for publishers, at least that's how it sounds from the countless emails and calls I get from snake oil salesmen who want to convince me that I need to hire them. Forget it. Apps can make money but that doesn't mean they work for everyone's business. But I do think there could be some usefulness there for ours, and that's why I'm actively exploring the idea.
For me, the whole key is whether or not an app can enhance the customer experience. Some businesses just put out apps that have no real additional functionality beyond what a simple mobile site could. I just can't imagine downloading those kinds of things. I want real value as a consumer, so I'm not going to release an app without being able to use it to add real value for our clients.
Our clients want us to keep them updated on what's happening with their travels, and we do that well. But it might be advantageous for us to look at additional ways we can push information to them. If people are using their smart phones, then we should give them the option of using an app to get the information that we provide through alternative means today. That's why I'm now looking at ways to make that happen. But I'm not rushing.
One of these days, we'll find a good reason and a strong implementation that will help us put our app into the market. But for now, we'll just keep working behind the scenes, not feeling the need to dive in just because others say we should.

The Fog Rolls in for the Afghanistan Assessment
By John Grant
At the beginning of the Iraq "surge" in 2007, Senator Barack Obama was leery of General David Petraeus, but now, we learn, he has warmed to the four-star Pentagon celebrity and calls him "Dave."
In meetings, according to an anonymous White House official, when the talk is of Afghanistan, Petraeus "always brings up Iraq" and the surge there, The New York Times reports.
By all accounts a very savvy politician always aware of his image, it is not strange that Petraeus would remind people of the thing he is most revered for, which is the so-called "surge" in Anbar Province of Iraq, the strategy that turned a hemorrhaging disaster into a stabilized, suppurating wound.
Now, he is doing the same thing in Afghanistan – except Afghanistan is politically and culturally about six centuries behind Iraq.
When US military counter-insurgency operations reach the latter stages and public questioning and opposition increase, the challenge is to get the "metrics" right – or as the Times recently put it, to develop "new and better ways to measure success or setbacks."
In the 1980s, during the El Salvador counter-insurgency war, as paramilitary death-squads were literally littering the streets with bodies, the Reagan administration was required by Congress every six months to "certify" that progress was being made.
To no one's surprise, it did exactly that. The challenge turned out to be easy. They didn't have to show that things were rosy and life was secure; all they had to do was come up with some formulation to convince Congress things were improving in some small way.
One of the sad turns-of-event in the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is that Reagan's small, murderous war in Central America against the poor is now used as a model of sorts for the hunter/killer teams so successfully employed as a "secret weapon" in the Iraq "surge." Due to that success, they are now being used in beefed-up form in the Afghan "surge." Defenders of the current wars even use the phrase "the Salvador model" to refer to our assassination strategy.
What made Lt. General Stanley McChrystal famous was his secret management of this "secret weapon," the special operations hunter/killer teams that, like their more crude predecessor in Vietnam, the Phoenix Program, located and captured or killed people deemed leaders in the enemy camp, those people deemed "irreconcilable."...

Feed Store
We love this store. They stock the best brands of dog food!
Greatest Store Ever!!!
This is by far my favorite store along with the other two locations of course! They helped me find the perfect food for me and that wasn't easy considering the allergies I have. Their selection is great and their prices are amazing! I would recommend this store to anyone, forget about those huge chain stores like Petsmart and Pet Co., support the smaller guys who actually care about us and our well-being!

Augmented Reality Manual Helps Volkswagen Owners Repair A Concept Car [Video]
Notable German software company developes a way to display under-the-hood car mechanics in the third dimension.
Early this year, Volkswagen revealed their ultra-limited edition hybrid XL1 car and promised to showcase the final model at the Geneva Motor Show. The Volkswagen XL1 is one of the the most futuristic, fuel-efficient vehicles on the planet. With such a reputable name, it is only fitting to have an equally impressive repair manual to match.
In collaboration with Metaio, Volkswagen developed the iPad app MARTA that employs the tablet's built-in camera to provide step-by-step details on how to dismantle, repair, replace, and put back together all the intricate components of the motorized beauty. The augmented reality of maintenance instructions might just be a way automatics is headed in the future.
Audi has also released a similar application to introduce new A3 owners around the car's interior features, as well as under the hood mechanical directions for automobile mechanics.
Check out the iPad 3d demonstration here.

Im sorry if others have already wrote about this but Is anyone else having problems with Catster? We are lucky that we finally got to this page. Everytime we get to the website it says catster.com is not responding.
I have no idea how to get to my account with this new catster design. I have a few pawmails I would like to check but I cant click on them without getting the "catster.com is not responding" message.
Any tips? Please help! We haven't been on catster for a few weeks so this is all new to us.
Just wanted to say THANK YOU to all of my pals that helped me celebrate my first birthday today.
I was so Surprised by all of the gifties, Comments and private messages that were sent my way. I truly have the best pals a guy could ask for.
My day was pretty good. I got a special meal and lots of love. Mom and Dad were gone for awhile cause I share a birthday with their nephew and they had a bday party for him today too.
Thanks again pals
Thats right pals! I am 1 year old today. Mom can't believe how fast time goes.
So as a tribute to my first year mom got together some pictures of me as a baby.
The babies
There we are! From the left it goes me, Smokey, Cricket (Orangie), Dee Dee (Grey and white) and then Ozzie. There were four boys and One girl (Dee Dee)
Here is another one of us all tired out after a romp.
Kitty Pile
Here is us with Mom. Isn't she a pretty kitty? No wonder we all turned out so differen't.
I think I kinda look like her.
This was me and my brother Cricket. We were pretty good pals.
This is one of mom's favorite pictures of me after she brought me home. I was 8 weeks old here.
One of the reasons mom wanted to get another Kitten for our home was because she wanted a younger kitty for Toby to play with. He had been picking a lot on Gordy and Melody. Actually mom was quite worried about how he would treat me but it was clearly meant to be...
Cuddle Time
Anyway I am very happy to have found such a wonderful home. Who knows what would have happened to me If mom and dad decided not to get me.
Thank you to all of the good friends I have made in my first year here.
Love always,

Demi Moore's daughters considering restraining order?
Bruce Willis
PeopleJob1_2, PeopleJob2_2
Tallulah, Rumer and Scout's relationship with Demi is said to have reached "breaking point" after a series of fights, so they've decided to cut off all contact with her.
A family source told website RadarOnline: "Rumer, Scout and Tallulah are seriously considering taking out a restraining order against Demi to stop her from contacting them.
"They made it clear to her weeks ago that they do not want to talk to her right now but she is still trying to contact them.
"Demi has been calling them incessantly and emailing them, leaving them tearful messages and begging them to call her and the girls are sick of it.
"It is a really drastic measure and not something they are considering lightly but they just feel like they want some peace and quiet."
Demi, 49 - whose children are fathered by Hollywood actor Bruce Willis - has been struggling since losing touch with the girls.
A source previously told the website: "Demi is beside herself over the situation. She hasn't spoken to Scout, Rumer or Tallulah for weeks now, they won't return any of her calls, emails or texts.
"She has returned to work and is trying to hold herself together, but this is a really tough time for Demi."
Demi was hospitalised for exhaustion in January - two months after her split from third husband Ashton Kutcher.

I got an email from a friend/reader who had this question:
My baby is due early February. I would like to make some freezable meals in January that I can shove in the oven straight out of the oven once baby is here. I'd like to make them paleo-friendly, to see if I can combine the power of breastfeeding with a paleo diet to maximize weight loss. Do you have any recommendations for make-ahead meals?
I told her I would think on it, come up with some ideas and then turn to you guys for some help.
My first thought, especially since it's going to be winter: SOUP, STEW, CHILI. Lots and lots. They are SO nourishing and can be packed with tons of protein and veggies and can offer you a really-well balanced meal in a short period of time. You know, like the 30 seconds you have after nursing before your baby spits up and then the dog barfs and then the toddler puts Scotch tape all over the cat and the phone rings and then the baby starts crying to eat again because he just spit up all his food. (AHMAHGAH, PTSD FLASHBACKS! TAKE COVER!) (I mean, yay new babies!).
And they don't have to be plain chili or boring chicken soup (although who doesn't love a chicken soup? Well, except chickens, I guess. I digress.) Here's a link to my soup/stew database and here are some other great soup/stew/chili recipes I've come across and recommend:
- Health-Bent: Pumpkin Chili with Orange, Coriander and Avocado Cream
- Whole Life Nutrition Kitchen: Potato and Leek Soup
- Sweet Potato Curry Apple Soup
- Cosmopolitan Primal Girl: Fiesta Stew
- Everyday Paleo: Caribbean Seafood Stew
- Joyful Abode: Comforting Cauliflower Soup
- Primal Kitchen: Smoky Autumn Beef Brisket Soup
Meat sauce is also a great way to get protein and veggies in and you can throw it on top of spaghetti squash in a pinch. You can use the one I made this week as my "filling" for spaghetti squash pie. It's super easy.
I'd also recommend making some of my Grain-Free Biscuits – maybe some without the savory ingredients – so you can make a quick "sandwich" with some leftover meat or pick up some nitrate-free deli meat at the store. My local SuperTarget has started carrying AppleGate Farms Organics and Hormel now makes an uncured, nitrate-free line. I can confirm that the biscuits do freeze well. Just put them on a cookie sheet individually, freeze, and then bag up. Let sit on counter for 20 minutes or so and toast to make extra yummy! Or just slather with some butter and serve with a couple of fried eggs to get a high-protein high-fat meal.
Fritaatas/Quiches! Eggs, veggies, even potatoes if you want some extra carbs, meat! But instead of making them in a big casserole dish, bake them in muffin tins. Freeze and bag! You really can use any ingredients you want, but here's a great one from The AnitHousewife: Italian Frittata and two from Jan's Sushi Bar: Roasted Red Pepper and Poblano Quiche. and a Sweet Potato and Caramelized Onion one!
Also, homemade Lara bars or grain-free granola bars. I've been living on these for breakfasts lately – they've got protein, fats, and good fruit carbs. Note that my Lara bars DO contain an egg so they can spoil. Keep infreezer until ready to eat if not going to eat all within two days. Um, not that I've ever done that before. Nope. Not me.
You can make some grain-free chicken nuggets or fish sticks and freeze them raw on a cookie sheet and then bag them up. Pop them in as you need them.
Okay, I'm all linked and puttered out. Now it's your turn, my trusty Real Foodies! Help out a fellow momma here and offer some suggestions for some make-ahead meals so she can enjoy her beautiful new baby this winter. Links would also be great if you've got them.

Wednesday, Feb. 22 -- at Michigan State (East Lansing, Mich.), 3 p.m.
The No. 11-ranked University of Michigan women's tennis team (5-3) opens up Big Ten Conference play this week, traveling to East Lansing, Mich., to face intrastate rival Michigan State on Wednesday (Feb. 22) at 3 p.m. at the MSU Indoor Tennis Facility. Michigan has won 10 in a row against the Spartans, including a 6-1 decision in Ann Arbor last season.
Big Ten Opener For the Defending Champs -- Wednesday's match against Michigan State marks the beginning of Big Ten action for the Wolverines, who are the two-time defending Big Ten champions after posting 10-0 league records in both 2010 and 2011. Under fifth-year head coach Ronni Bernstein, the Wolverines are 38-2 in Big Ten action. U-M went 56-4 in singles last season, headlined by Brooke Bolender and Whitney Taney's perfect 10-0 conference marks. The Wolverines won all 10 doubles points last season en route to a 27-3 doubles record during conference play.
A Look at Michigan State -- The Spartans enter Wednesday's match with a 6-1 record, with their only loss coming to Akron. MSU has not left the state of Michigan in 2012, playing every dual match at home, and hosted two of four fall tournament appearances in East Lansing. Michigan leads the all-time series, 43-17, winning the past 10 matches. U-M kicked off Big Ten action last season against the Spartans, coming away with a 6-1 victory.
Where We Rank -- The Wolverines fell a position to the No. 11 spot in the latest ITA rankings, released last Thursday (Feb. 16), but boast four individual singles rankings and a pair of doubles rankings. Freshman Emina Bektas jumped to No. 5 singles listing -- the highest individual ranking in Michigan program history -- after entering the 2012 schedule at No. 36. Sophomores Brooke Bolender and Sam Critser check in at No. 56 and No. 62, while junior Mimi Nguyen climbed to the No. 88 singles ranking. On the doubles side, Michigan's duo of Bektas and Bolender moved up to No. 19 and Nguyen and senior Michelle Sulahian debuted at No. 59. [ ITA Rankings ]
Dual Match Format --This weekend's dual matches will be contests for the best-of-seven team points. The dual will begin with three doubles matches consisting of eight-game pro sets. The team that wins two of these three matches will enter the singles competition with one of seven points. After a brief intermission, six singles matches will be played. Each singles match will be the best-of-three tie-break sets and worth one point towards the team competition. The overall dual match will be decided when one team secures four total points. Matches in progress when the dual match is clinched will be played to completion.
Quick Hits
Michigan State marks the Wolverines' first unranked opponent since their season opener against Western Michigan. U-M has faced top-20 ranked opponents in each of its last five dual appearances.
Freshmen Emina Bektas and Sarah Lee boast perfect 7-0 dual records. Both had one match abandoned at the ITA National Indoors.
Bektas carries a 10-match win streak, covering every singles match of the 2012 calendar year. Included in her winning streak are six decisions over nationally ranked opposition.
Michigan's No. 1 doubles pairing of Bektas and sophomore Brooke Bolender own a four-match winning streak.
Sophomore Sam Critser returned to competition at the ITA National Indoor Championships, playing with senior Michelle Sulahian at the No. 3 doubles position. Critster missed the Wolverines' first five duals with injury.
Last Time Out -- The Wolverines posted a 1-2 record at the prestigious ITA National Indoor Championship, opening the dual tournament with a 4-0 shutout against No. 15 Clemson before falling to No. 3 Duke (4-0) and No. 6 Georgia (5-2). Freshmen Emina Bektas and Sarah Lee posted 2-0 singles records, while U-M's top doubles team of Bektas and sophomore Brooke Bolender went 3-0. [ Recaps: Clemson | Duke | Georgia ]
No. 2 to Tango -- The Wolverines dropped the nation's No. 2 singles player and No. 2 doubles pairing in their ITA National Indoors finale against Georgia. Freshman Emina Bektas knocked off the Bulldogs' Chelsey Gullickson, 6-2, 7-5, behind an early break in the first set and late break in the second. With the performance, she avenged an earlier-season loss to Gullickson, the 2010 NCAA singles champion and a three-time All-American. Bektas and sophomore Brooke Bolender also claimed an 8-5 victory over Georgia's pairing of Gullickson and Nadja Gilchrist, the nation's No. 2 doubles team.
Fabulous Freshman -- Freshman Emina Bektas has won each of her last 10 appearances, earning six wins over ranked opponents, including five in the nation's top 20, over the stretch. Bektas, who owns an overall 10-3 record against ranked opponents this season, is the first freshman to play at the No. 1 singles position under Ronni Bernstein's tenure at Michigan. Her No. 5 listing in the latest ITA singles rankings marks the highest individual ranking for a Wolverine player in program history. Denise Muresan ended the 2010-11 season with the No. 6 listing.
Not For the Week -- Freshman Emina Bektas garnered her fourth Big Ten Athlete of the Week accolade of the season -- and third in five weeks -- last Tuesday (Feb. 13) in recognition of her weekend effort at the ITA National Indoors. Only Chisako Sugiyama has earned more weekly conference citations in Michigan program history; Sugiyama claimed six Athlete of the Week nods between 2007-09.
Double Trouble -- Michigan has lost the doubles point in five of its last six duals and owns a 2-3 record when giving up the initial point. Conversely, the Wolverines are a perfect 3-0 when claiming the first point. U-M lost just three doubles points during 2011, going 0-3 when failing to secure the first point of the match.
Leader of the Wolverines -- Head coach Ronni Bernstein is in her fifth year in Ann Arbor, compiling an 90-25 overall record and 38-2 Big Ten mark in her first four years. The Wolverines have strung together the best two-year span in program history during the 2010 and 2011 seasons, going 24-5 in both campaigns while winning two Big Ten championships. For her efforts, Bernstein has been named the Big Ten Coach of the Year and ITA Midwest Region Coach of the Year in both seasons. Teryn Ashley-Fitch is in her sixth year at Michigan and was promoted to associate head coach last summer after earning ITA Midwest Assistant Coach of the Year honors in 2010.

Colorado Springs holding meeting on pot stores
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Colorado Springs City Council is holding a town hall meeting to help them decide whether the city should allow retail pot stores to open in the city.
The town hall forum on Thursday is expected to be standing-room-only.
According to the Colorado Springs Gazette, the council is trying to determine how to deal with a Colorado amendment approved by voters which legalized marijuana possession and sales.
The law allows possession of up to an ounce of marijuana for adults 21 and older. It also calls for regulating retail sales of marijuana, but it gives local governments the choice to opt out of such sales.

[This is a little shout out to a friend whom I admire… She doesn't even know I'm posting this, but I am so proud of her that I just have to.]
We're almost in the month of April and you know what that means… Beautiful weather and a mailbox full of invitations (hopefully letterpressed) to some of the best parties, weddings, and patio cocktail hours that include lots of sashaying around the dessert bar eyeing the chocolate truffles and champagne… And whether you are attending, or playing hostess, there will be flowers, because at the best events, gorgeous flowers are always on display.
Recently, my friend Tammy stopped by while she was in town, leaving behind a note with her business card in my door. Sad to see that I'd missed her, I glanced at her card and felt an immediate smile on my face because she's the Manager of Anne Bruno Floral + Event Design in NYC.
Tammy is a big apple success story and I'm proud of her. She left behind her home and large family, with whom she is extremely close to, all in the name of floral design in Manhattan. Something a girl in her early 20's would only dare to do all alone. I remember when she left, I was both sad and proud, sad to see a friend leave, but happy she was on a mission – not as another hopeful girl jumping to see where she lands, but heading out with a game plan and a passion, and from what I can see, she's making it in old New York.
Tammy has real talent, she's been obsessed with flowers as far back as her early teen years. I've seen her work numerous times at events, and most recently at a large wedding and reception where her gorgeous blooms nearly took our breathe away. Only the bride was more revered.
Here's some of her recent press.
You can contact her at tammy{at}annebruno{dot}com or directly at 212.766.5660.

This is a rare look at one of the worst horror stories in the long infamous history of warfare. This series features captured German and Russian film footage, much of which has never been seen before.
For decades the Cold War prevented us from looking closely at what really happened between the Russians and the Germans on the Eastern Front during World War II. More than a struggle between nations, it pitted maniacal tyrant against maniacal tyrant, evil ideology against evil ideology. The lives of tens of millions of human beings were consumed by its raging hatreds and appalling indignities. One in every ten Russians died. One in every four Poles died. Whole divisions of Italians, Romanians, Hungarians disappeared with barely a trace. An average of 17,800 people died on every single day – and this, the war on the Russian German Front, lasted for 1,400 days. The series is narrated with chilling precision by actor Douglas Rain. The script, by producer Jerry Lawton, is dark and powerful. The music, by composer Rick Hyslop, captures every nuance of tragedy with discordant clarity. The series features captured German and Russian film footage, much of which has never been seen in the United States.

Episode 101: The Politics of Fear Darkness descended on Eastern Europe when Hitler and his generals, smug and arrogant, in command of the superlative army which had prostrated France and humbled England, looked eastward, supremely confident that they would now easily destroy Russia.
Episode 102: Darkness Descends
Episode 103: The Killing Ground Russia, 1941. The worst winter in 140 years. The tide had turned, and the advantages were now with the Russians. The Germans, in despair, were thrown back, 20 miles, 50, 100, 200 miles. Their generals, in panic, wanted to retreat. An enraged Hitler ordered them to fight to the end.
Episode 104: The Tide Turns
Episode 105: Vengeance Reaped
Episode 106: Breakout to Berlin The debilitating, humiliating defeat at Stalingrad early in 1943, was the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany. No more stupendous victories, only vicious, blood-spilling defeats. For the final push towards Berlin, Russia assembled an army of unimaginable size and strength – 74 armies, 743 divisions, 15,000 tanks, and 15,000 planes.
"The video gives a good explanation of weapons, tactics, and personalities, set against the larger picture of cruelty, fanatical bravery, and political intrigue…. The series is recommended for viewers with a strong interest in military history. The other volumes in the set are:THE POLITICS OF FEAR and THE KILLING GROUND" – *** Stars – Video Librarian
"Overall, this series is well produced and scripted…. an able narration combined with riveting footage and a powerful musical score makes this essential for both history buffs and scholars of World War II." – Library Journal

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF. -- Think your electronic commerce site is safe from hackers?
A little demonstration from start-up Perfecto Technologies might convince you otherwise.
Company co-founder Eran Reshef sat down at this reporter's PC, logged on to an e-commerce site and, using only the browser, changed the price of an item by modifying the site's HTML.
A similar demo for Quote.com exposed security holes and lead Quote.com to buy AppShield, a tool Perfecto designed to bullet-proof e-commerce sites.
Reshef came up with the idea for AppShield with his partner, Gil Raanan. Both honed their computer skills as officers with Israeli secret intelligence.
AppShield is an HTTP proxy filter that sits in front of a Web-based e-commerce application. It keep crooks out by refusing to process any bogus character inputs, such as long Common Gateway Interface buffer overflows, that can hijack the server.
Clean cookies AppShield also blocks a trick called "cookie poisoning," in which an attacker alters his Web cookie after he's logged on with a password and ID. This is important because many Web sites rely on a cookie to keep a state of connection with the
e-commerce user after authentication. Once altered, the trickster can take on another identity and use someone else's account, for example.
AppShield can also prevent hackers from changing prices on items added to
e-commerce shopping carts, something that can be surprisingly easy to do with the HTML tools that are part of the Netscape and Microsoft browsers.
Officially shipping this week, AppShield is already winning plaudits from beta testers who have had the chance to kick its tires for a few months.
"We have evidence of the fact that it can work," says Kaj Pedersen, vice president of engineering at Quote. com, a Web site that provides stock quotes, news, research and portfolio management for investors. Pedersen found out about Quote.com's security holes after Perfecto employees hacked the company's Web site in two or three different ways right in front of him.
Page watching
To prevent break-ins, AppShield analyzes every page generated by the Web server every time it is requested, but before the page gets to the browser. The process adds about 20 milliseconds to the browser-server communication, Reshef says.
AppShield's policy recognition engine expects an application page to be returned as it originated, and AppShield filters out illegal character inputs. If the software senses trouble, AppShield notifies the e-commerce manager through an e-mail or pager alert. The software can also give the would-be Web hacker an error code response or other message.
In general, preventing hacker exploits requires the e-commerce application to be rigorously designed and reviewed by security experts. But this is a luxury not all
e-commerce operations can afford.
Instead, e-commerce sites are often rushed into production for competitive reasons. But Perfecto's founders think their application security proxy can protect sites that have not been designed with such rigor.
"This is for brokerages, airline companies, phone companies, retailers, financial institutions and online pharmacies," Rashef says. "It's for newspapers, analysts and TV stations."
AppShield, which costs $20,000, willl be just the first product from Perfecto. Reshef says the start-up plans to announce other security tools in the next few months.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV, illustrated) is a substantial human pathogen. WHO estimates that there are now 240,000,000 individuals chronically infected with HBV worldwide, of which 25% will die from chronic liver disease or hepatocellular carcinoma. The hepatitis B virus vaccine is highly effective at preventing infection. Because there are no known animal reservoirs of the virus, it is believed that HBV could be globally eradicated. The recent finding of HBV in bats raises the possibility of zoonotic introduction of the virus.

RPD arrests Mary Beth Lawrence
Mary Beth Lawrence
According to the criminal complaint filed in District Court on Thursday, there have been three reported incidents of harassment or stalking made against Mary Beth Lawrence by the student who accused David Lawrence of touching her sexually.
An incident report filed on May 28 states that Mary Beth, driving a black Cadillac, followed the student in her vehicle nearly two miles along Sycamore Avenue. The complainant attempted to shake the other vehicle by making several turns, but the Cadillac kept pace. The two cars achieved a reported speed of 70 mph.
The records also state that during the time when the Lawrence case was being investigated in December 2011, the victim and her mother reported that as they entered the Bath and Body Shop at the Roswell Mall, Mary Beth and her daughter exited Coach House Store. The Lawrences followed the victim and her mother into the Bath and Body Shop. The victim left the shop to go to Claire's, and Marybeth and her daughter appeared in front of the second store. The victim called her mother for assistance, and when her mother approached Claire's, the two Lawrence women left. The investigating detective, Kim Northcutt, reportedly notified David Lawrence's attorney, S. Doug Jones Witt, of the incident. Case documents stated Witt said he would talk to the family.
The court records also indicate a third incident took place in January or February during the Roswell-Goddard High School game when the victim attempted to use the restroom. When she left the facilities, she found Mary Beth standing just outside the door. The victim then went to a second bathroom. Mary Beth Lawrence followed her. When the victim returned to her seat, she saw Mary Beth and her daughter watching her. The victim obtained the assistance of a New Mexico State Police officer and a security guard who had witnessed the incident. The officer escorted her to her car, but when the victim returned to the game, she saw the Lawrences' daughter walking back into the auditorium.
Mary Beth bonded out Friday with a $2,500 unsecured bond.

Few things can match the anticipation of sitting down in a new poker game. Every game we enter offers the chance to challenge ourselves, to test out new strategies or fine-tune old ones, and most of all, the possibility of a big win. So much thought and care goes into the start of each new poker session—where to play, when to play, what stakes, how much to buy in for— and yet a decision that is at least as important, when to leave the game, often seems to get made on a whim. Choosing when to exit a cash game can be tricky. Everyone, it seems, has a different opinion, but conventional poker wisdom holds that you should keep on playing as long as the game is good and you're able to keep playing well. The first criterion, good playing conditions, is easy enough to identify. It's that second requirement, confidence that you are still playing well, that gets so many players into trouble.
The problem lies in the fact most of us find it difficult to admit when we're no longer playing our best. Played correctly, poker is a mentally-intensive game that requires focus, a good memory, and keen observational skills. Not to mention intense discipline. The mind of a skilled poker player is a sophisticated, high-performance machine—engaged in a constant loop of making judgments, adjusting to changing conditions and then forming new judgments based on the new information. When everything is working right, it's sublime. The only trouble with this sophisticated machine is that it cannot run on autopilot. Not if you want to win. So many things can interfere with a poker player's ability to think clearly. At the top of the list is emotion. In a word, tilt. But tilt can take many different forms and is often quite subtle. The player who is starting to play a little too tight because he's made a big profit and is afraid to lose it back, the player who bluffs at an opponent who obviously has a real hand because the bluffer has won several pots in a row and feels invincible, and the player who calls with suited trash from early position because he's frustrated by a seemingly endless line of bad starting hands—all of them are on tilt. All of them should walk away from the table.
The beauty of poker is that it is both simple and complex. That's why we can play on autopilot and still feel in control. We know the game, we know the rules, so what if we're a little tired? This kind of self-deception can keep a poker player glued to the table long after his A-game is a distant memory. Aside from tilt, being too tired—or being simply burned out after several nonstop hours of mental gymnastics and on-the-fly calculations—is the number one culprit for poor play towards the end of a poker session. Usually, by the time a glassy-eyed poker player concedes that he is flagging, he has already made several mistakes. Maybe those mistakes weren't too serious or too costly, this time, but they add up.
Since rat-holing is illegal, one school of thought says you should walk away from a cash game any time your chip stack gets to be too large. By staying, you put that stack— which on a good day can become a significant percentage of your entire poker bankroll—at risk. It's a decision based on bankroll management and your own comfort level. The trick is to know yourself and make an honest self-assessment of how it would affect you to suffer that loss.
In a similar vein, if you've been the victim of a long, brutal losing streak, and booking a win would help your battered confidence recover, it may be worthwhile to go against the conventional wisdom and leave a good game just this once.
Barbara Connors is a sucker for classic old movies, science fiction, and the St. Louis Cardinals. Her life's ambition is to figure out the unusual behavior patterns of that unique breed of humans who call themselves poker players. Contact her at email@example.com.

The IBS is located inside the negative battery cable and sold as one unit. BMW has revised this part 3 times and is currently only selling the 4th generation version. The latest version uses a different harness pinout, so in addition to the replacing the IBS by replacing the negative battery cable, you also need the option harness adapter.
The IBS will not throw a CEL if defective but will throw fault codes into the ECU which can be read during a typical diagnostic scope. Usually a defective IBS can be identified quickly because it will throw many hundred faults when it goes bad. You can replace the IBS without any need for additional coding or updates, simple DIY task but the parts will run around $270.
When you replaced your battery, if you did not replace the IBS at the same time, you would need to have reset the IBS to properly charge the new battery. There are a number of threads on the process to reset the IBS, this is a fairly simple task w/ the right setup. If you did an AGM battery replacement, then in addition to the IBS reset you may also need to code a new amp hours value for correct operation.

I have a 95 eldorado and would love to have the manual.
if you go to ebay & paste 170503121231 into the search field you will find one at a really reasonable price. Also if you type in "1995 eldorado manual" without the quotes you will get a lot of listings for exactly what you are looking for, they also have service manuals (if you dont have them for your car already) for pretty good prices as well. hope that helps!!!
Tried to DL manual today but couldn't get in because i don't have a gm card of any kind. all went well up till then and they have no workaround or phone #.
This is a dead sticky...
Tomorrow I may have the dollar in electronic format. I will check back tomorrow.
anyone have a link to a 1984 Eldorado Biarritz repair/owners manual
Anyone have a link to a 1976 Eldorado Coupe owners manual, have searched all over the net, and can't find one. Really need to know what where and how to use some of the things in the car. Not easy to find another one similar in our area (Australia) to look at and ask questions. Have purchased the workshop manual, but still waiting for it to arrive from the USA.
Thanks for the link, I had actually used this site before but I had forgot about it. I updated all of my info on it and downloaded the manuals.
I have just purchased a 1989 seville in need of some repair but not to bad, please send me a repair manual, thank you in advance.
Thanks man, downloaded the one for my 93 ElDorado in seconds!
The link appears to be dead.... I"m looking to find out what the comp button on my radio is for. (It has both the cd player and the tape deck)
Why so new??:cookoo: [this was meant for the member who said the topic should be relegated to the 80s. Don't know how it got here! Again, :cookoo:].
Link looks like offline. Is there anybody have '94 STS manual?
Edit : I found it!

text: I hope I am posting this in the right thread and that it is typed properly. I could use anyone's input on this. Had my 05STi's back end raised on jackstands all last night (rear pad change that turned into caliper mounting bolt extraction) and now it cranks but will not fire. It always fires w/ a flick of the key. Any suggestions as to what is/troubleshoot it would be appreciated

As part of my continuing "after-action" report on Tales of the Cocktail 2011, here is a brief synopsis, along with my notes from the "Drinking on a Deadline" seminar, held on 23rd of July, 2011 at the Royal Sonesta Hotel:
"Drinking on a Deadline", sponsored by Pisco Porton and moderated by Paul Clarke, featured panelists David Wondrich and Wayne Curtis, took a look at the "special" and often odd world of the drink writer. The experts provided historical examples, common themes, various sub-genres and bits of advice for the aspiring or accidental booze writer.
Cocktails served:
- Pisco Punch, Pisco Apricot Tropicale
Paul Clarke
The first "segment" of the seminar kicked off with a bit of a love-fest for the classic drink writers of the past decades: Kingsley Amis, Charles H. Baker, Bernard Deveaux, Barbara Holland, Tom Wolfe, David Embury (though incidents in his legal career gave Wondrich some pause), and Jason Wilson to name a few.
Kingsley Amis (1922 – 1995):
- Columnist 70's, 80's
- Refreshed approach.
- A geek & a snob, but "not bound by the rules of orthodoxy"
- Wrote about what he enjoyed and was "notoriously fond" of anything that went into his glass.
- Enthusiastic consumer in both quantity and generousity
- "I'll pour you your first drink, if you don't have another one after that, it's your own fucking fault".
- Wrote a "cheap bastard's" guide to a cocktail party
- "On Drinking"
- Hangover tales:
- Both physical and metaphysical consequences
- "What an absolute shit you were last evening"
- The cure: a "well considered application of literature and music"
- Both physical and metaphysical consequences
- Hangover tales:
Bernard Devoto (1897 – 1955)
- Total curmudgeon
- Word "fun" is not what comes to mind first when you think about him
- "Cocktail Hour"
- Ill-concealed contempt for mid-century cocktail culture
- Just enduring these cocktail parties
- Hates the cocktail
- Anything other than a slug of whiskey or a dry Martini is bad
- Story is just how "bad" it is
- Highlights the "silliness we all can descend to when talking about cocktails".
- Anything other than a slug of whiskey or a dry Martini is bad
- Ill-concealed contempt for mid-century cocktail culture
Barbara Holland (1933 – 2010)
- "Joy of Drinking"
- Lovely language, but not a lot of cocktail info
- Premise: Alcohol is an important social bond
- Needed to defend it from how it is traditionally presented
- Has proved a manner of good to civilization – "social glue"
- For thousands of years, all we had for entertainment was other people
- After a couple of drinks, we're far more tolerant of our fellow man
Wayne Curtis:
Once Wayne curtis took over the presentation, the discussion took on a decidedly "epic" slant, and the relationship between drink-writing (more specifically HANGOVER writing), road tripping and the works of Joseph Campbell was explored:
Commonality with drinking and road tripping:
- You're going on a journey
- A linear progression that never has a resolution
Temperance writing is very entertaining:
- Fantastical tales of spontaneous human combustion attributed to alcohol consumption
- Dicken's Bleak House
- Gin Sod character spontaneously combusts
- Dicken's Bleak House
Hangover Writing:
- Follows the model of Joseph Campbell's "Hero's Journey" model:
- You find a magical elixir which gives you powers:
- Balance spoons on your nose
- Make great conversation
- You find a magical elixir which gives you powers:
- But then it turns on you:
- You need to find another
- The "journey home" story = Odysseus
Joseph Conrad:
- Lord Jim
- "The light did him harm, but not as much as looking at things did; he resolved, having done it once, never to move his eyeballs again. A dusty thudding in his head made the scene before him beat like a pulse. His mouth had been used as a latrine by some small creature of the night, and then as its mausoleum. During the night, too, he'd somehow been on a cross-country run and then been expertly beaten up by secret police. He felt bad."
Thomas Wolfe:
- Bonfire of the Vanities
- "The telephone blasted Peter Fallow awake inside an egg with the shell peeled away and only the membranous sac holding it intact. Ah! The membranous sac was his head, and the right side of his head was on the pillow, and the yolk was as heavy as mercury, and it rolled like mercury, and it was pressing down on his right temple… If he tried to get up to answer the telephone, the yolk, the mercury, the poisoned mass, would shift and roll and rupture the sac, and his brains would fall out."
David Embury (1886 – 1960):
- 1948: The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks
- Not an insider, just figuring out what makes a good drink
Jason Wilson:
- "Boozehound"
- A great "road book"
- Pursues the "lore of drink"
- Tried to find the "elderflower harvest" touted by St. Germain Liqueur
- Pursues the "lore of drink"
- A great "road book"
David Wondrich:
David Wondrich finished off the conversation, answering the question "How the hell do you become a drink writer" and offered some advice on how to be a good one, regardless of your medium:
1880's Where do bartender's spring from?
- "few enter of their own accord, most just happen upon it."
Drink Writing is similar:
- It's the bastard step-child of main stream writing
- You're just not that illustrious to the rest of the world
- You work for ½ the pay
Check out the style of old newspapers
- Pay attention to detail
- Writers learned by experience
- Worked their ways up ranks
- Sketched out the story with a draft
- Story then went to the re-write man
- Turned the "story" into "literature"
- Jocular, sensationalist tone
- New York Sun:
- Reporter got the facts, re-write man got the style
- Overwritten, "working class art", "verbal jazz"
- Little formal training, but a lot of creativity
- Needed to grab people's attention
- No bylines in these papers
- Reporter got the facts, re-write man got the style
Practical tips for bloggers:
- Contribute to the discussion
- Don't recycle or restate material
- Helps to have a broad background in other fields/subjects
- Ex: Wayne Curtis pursued Rum, because he was more interested in the social culture of the time
- Absolute worst travel writers are the ones who think they are travel writers
- Always find a back door into the topic
- Factor in the human equation
- Drink writing is humor writing
- No one cares about this stuff, so be amusing
- Don't be "Sonny Boy Williamson"
- Don't tell everything you know or every detail.
- Stick to main thread of the story
- Save the rest for later, it slows the story down
- Remember the audience:
- Show people why they should care
- Assume they are smart
- Give them the tools to figure out what the hell you are saying
- Pioneers get arrows, Settlers get the land:
- Attribute, always give credit
- Someone had to find that information or fact
- Drink Writing is the convergence of the two greatest sources of bullshit known to man:
- Bars & the Internet
- Get the facts right
- Bars & the Internet
- Take the work, not yourself, seriously
- Don't be too divisive:
- Don't bicker about a Martini
- Drinks are supposed to be fun
- Don't bicker about a Martini
- Don't be too divisive:
- Don't over-think
- Sucks the pleasure out of the experience
- Write as if you're talking to an intelligent friend that you've had a few drinks with
PR & Marketing
- Often hard to get a straight answer out of the fluff
- Brevity counts
- Information helps
- Brevity counts
- Give me the product
- Tell me how it's made so I can write tasting notes
- Don't give me "the sizzle" as it's often not fun or interesting
- Wayne Curtis remarks:
- Has a column: "Press Releases I didn't finish reading"
- A lot of useless info
- Has a column: "Press Releases I didn't finish reading"
- You need to get access to the people actually making this stuff
- Get the phone # of the distiller
- Get a simple, short conversation
- PR really should read the author's column or blog
- Dave Wondrich: Does not use sourced recipes from the brands or PR
- Marketing:
- should check the facts they send out
- Marketing:
- Editors:
- Aren't sure what the "cool kids" are drinking
- Need to build a relationship
- Being such a narrow, niche writer, you don't have to "pitch" much
What is it Role of the Review?
- Reviews are mostly pointless
- Mostly specialized readers
- Just one single viewpoint
- Sometimes you feel that you're reading someone with a random adjective generator

Kendra Wainer is a mother who knows all about autism.
"My son is four now, his name is Jason, and he was diagnosed, he was two years and two months, about. He started out with a speech delay. It was scary in the beginning to think that you have a developmentally delayed child, or a child that isn't normal," said Wainer.
She says that with help from multiple resources in the area, Jason's making good progress.
"To see the work that the people do to get them where they need to be socially, developmentally, behaviorally, it's just, it's phenomenal," she said.
One of Wainer's resources has been Eastern Maine Medical Center's Husson Pediatrics. They say they're doing everything they can to give their autistic patients every advantage necessary.
"When a child is diagnosed with autism, there are services that can be provided both an educational model, and through a medical model, and nowhere else in the state is there a case manager that can support both of those forms of care," said Dr. Michael Ross, lead physician.
They say it's all about finding the right kind of care.
"We've been able to connect children with services in a more expedited fashion, been able to get children a variety of services both educational and medical domains and our patients have really thrived as a result of this, so we're extremely happy with how things are going. We are able to do this work through a grant from the Maine Developmental Disabilities Counsel and through some support with Eastern Maine Medical Center," said Ross.
He says he hopes their program can help as many in the area as possible.
"It's something that is not only treatable, but effectively changeable. That we can make a huge difference in the lives of children the earlier we intervene. And, this program is a great first step towards that," said Ross.
If you'd like more information about autism they say to consult your pediatrician.

time out...
There are moments in a day, a week, a month when taking a time out is essential. Exactly where I find myself today. A week of workouts...tending to the garden...house...kids...new puppy...friends...digging out of the spring cleaning piles and finding a moment when my thoughts aren't so jumbled. Before you know it it all catches up to me and all I want is a moment to sit, enjoy my craft space, get ahead of schedule...for once...and know that taking a few moments to relax is perfectly normal and acceptable. Guess it is just one of those weeks I suppose. So for the next two days I am going to allow the artist inside to do what she needs to do and enjoy! For starters, a little Scrappy Boutique and American Crafts!
I have created five cards so far this weekend using this kit and beginning to realize that you can make so many more with just one kit. I love the mix of bold and soft colors in this collection and all of the add-ons....LOVE! If you haven't checked them out yet just click HERE.
More to come tomorrow...
Also, to announce the winner of the gift certificate for Etsy...Diana Waite! Congratulations and just send me an email with your email and I will get this sent to you asap.
I will be putting together a new product giveaway this week. Time to slim down a bit before I have to take photos of my craft space for something special to come....can't wait to share.

It's turning out to be a very fruitful week (Apple: geddit? Sorry). Not only is the iPhone going to support third party apps, but DRM-free iTunes Plus tracks are finally here though they're dogged with controversy and now we've news on Apple TV.
Marketed as 'iTunes for your living room' Apple TV has actually had a rather innocuous start to life so Steve J has tried to do something about it – just not the things we wanted...
What we wanted were the ability to stream AVIs and High Definition video content. What we've got is the option of a larger hard drive and YouTube compatibility. The former sees a new premium version of Apple TV swap out the original 40GB HDD in favour of a 160GBer, while a software update will see the addition of the latter sometime in mid-June.
Given the lack of HD support it is debatable whether a 160GB HDD is really that necessary and while watching home videos of people hurting one another with 'amusing pranks' (seemingly the main point of YouTube) isn't altogether worthless the quality isn't going to be great on your 60/50/47/42/37/32/27/24/19in television...
160GB Apple TVs will start shipping immediately in the US for $399, no word yet on the UK.
Apple TV: it was hmmmmn, now it's meh.
