Orlando Bloom & Flynn: Father/Son Bonding at the Gym
Posted Thursday March 29, 2012 1:29 PM GMT
Teaching his little guy Flynn how to be a macho man, Orlando Bloom was spotted at the gym in Hollywood this morning (March 29).
The "Pirates of the Caribbean" stud carried his son out to the car following his workout, looking hunky in a black tank top, black pants, and black sneakers.
And of course, doting dad Orly made sure to plant a big smooch on his son's forehead to show that tough guys can be loving, too.
Later this year, Bloom will be back in theaters in the forthcoming flick "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey."
Enjoy the pictures of Orlando Bloom giving kisses to Flynn while out at the gym (March 29).

Mad for Mercados: Exploring Ensenada's Los Globos Sunday Market
By Melanie Haiken on March 3, 2017
There's no quicker escape from the tourists, cruise ships, and surfers than Ensenada's Los Globos market, where the "real" Mexico can be seen, smelled and tasted in jugo, queso, palletas, and tacos de pescados made fresh on the spot.
So dust off your rusty Spanish and dive in; you'll find a warm welcome and come away with a better sense of your destination than you could get from the most in-depth tour.

As a college student I am limited by my wallet. Between paying for college, affording rent, and attempting to build up enough savings to eventually START my life, I find that I have little spare change laying around to really jump-start my photography.

With just a rather simple compact Canon SD630 digital camera and PhotoShop, I have made over $1500 in the last week! If you're strapped for cash and need to find a way to create great photography with limited resources, I've got a few easy tips for you!

text: Project Description What started out as just a kitchen face-lift quickly morphed into a kitchen – laundry - mud room renovation. With a need for space in the kitchen and a cramped laundry the architect suggested moving the existing laundry to a rarely used study. By moving a bearing wall and installing a flush beam in the ceiling an additional two feet of working space was added to the kitchen. Working within the same square footage and only moving one wall the spaces were transformed. "A place for everything and everything in its place" would best describe the inspiration for the design of the kitchen. Carefully thought out and planned - every cabinet, drawer and hidden pullout has a purpose. In keeping with the tradition design of the home an inset beaded look for the doors and drawer fronts was chosen providing a fitted look. With a mix of both simple and elegant this new kitchen will serve as host to many family gatherings and memories. The cabinetry for the kitchen was all custom built in a maple with a custom brown stain and a light glaze. The island was in maple as well and stained in the same color with a black top coat that was them distressed to pull the brown stain through. We pride ourselves on delivering the unique to our clients and executing fine details along the way. The Sugarcreek Kitchen Renovation was a team effort with the designer, cabinet maker, the clients and us as the contractor - we feel the space was transformed beyond what clients could have imagined when first approached to look at the project.

I started my DD on the OCM last week. Her t-zone is very oily. Lots of blemishes, and so many, big blackheads, and redness. Being that she's 14, and is skeptical about EVERYTHING, I had to do some fancy footwork to get her to even try it. Right after the first treatment, she said her skin felt "okay." No comment the following morning, but the second morning, a different story! We both could see improvement. Redness reduced, acne clearing, and the blackheads shrinking! We couldn't believe it! After the second, treatment, even better. The best yet, friends are asking her what her new acne medicine is. She laughed as she told me how they reacted to the idea that it is oils. She told them, 'no, it's the good kind of oils.'
We're so happy with the OCM. Thanks to all who have shared their experiences with it, without you, I wouldn't have known about it.

Majority of Palestinians believe Hamas should recognize peace agreements with Israel
A recent poll reveals that the majority of Palestinians believe that the Palestinian Hamas party should recognize peace agreements signed between Israeli and the PLO, while 55 percent said that Hamas should recognize Israel's right to exist if it were to withdraw fully from the West Bank and Gaza Strip to pre-1967 borders.
Of nearly 1400 Palestinians surveyed, 58.5 percent stated that it was important that such agreements should be respected, while 35 percent of those questioned stated that agreements made by the PLO need not be respected.
The poll, published on Sunday by the A-Najah University in the West Bank, found that approximately 60 percent of Palestinians are pleased with the outcome of recent elections which put the Hamas party in power, according to Ynet.
Those surveyed stated that as a result of Hamas' rise to power, the quality of their lives would improve; some 80 percent of respondents believe that basic services like health and education will improve under Hamas leadership as compared to previous Palestinian Authority leadership.
61 percent of those surveyed believed that Hamas would likely be able to convince international donors to continue supporting the Palestinian Authority despite the decision of many western governments to supply aid on the condition that Hamas recognize Israel's right to exist, respect peace agreements with Israel and renounce violence.
Some 75 percent oppose the unilateral formation of a Hamas-led government, while 88 percent support the formation of a unity government between Hamas and other Palestinian parties.
70 percent of those surveyed said that Hamas will respect human rights during its term in power.

BRADENTON — With his team comfortably ahead 2-0, Braden River coach Steve Haugh decided to look at his future. It looked better than he expected.
Haugh inserted Andrea Zevallios into the lineup and the junior responded with a team-high 10 blocks, providing a needed spark for the Pirates, who were getting a little lethargic in their final game.
They finished with a 25-18, 25-13, 25-19 Class 4A region quarterfinal victory over Strawberry Crest on Tuesday. The Pirates, who extended their school-record single-season victory total to 25, will host Steinbrenner next week.
Braden River jumped out to a 23-11 lead in the first game and coasted until Strawberry Crest (13-4) made a little comeback. The Chargers took a 10-5 lead in the third game with Braden River appearing to lose focus. The Pirates seemed to wake up when they trailed 12-8 and outscored Strawberry Crest 8-3 to take the lead for good.

BASICS (Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention of College Students)
BASICS is Effective
To make an appointment, call Counseling at 802-443-5141
BASICS is a confidential alcohol assessment developed specifically for college students. Its purpose is to assist students in assessing the relationship of their drinking to their academic and personal life goals.
BASICS has a harm reduction philosophy (i.e., having the purpose of reducing harm rather than telling students not to drink) and is neither judgmental nor confrontational. The decision about whether and how to use the information from BASICS is up to the student.
BASICS includes an online self-report questionnaire and a meeting with a counselor, or nurse. Information is gathered about the student's alcohol consumption pattern, personal beliefs about alcohol, perception of social alcohol norms on campus, and family history. The student receives a personalized feedback report that they review with a counselor, or nurse. The feedback will include information about how to reduce future risks associated with their alcohol use as well as local resources for assistance.
Some students may be required by a Commons Deans, or coaches to complete BASICS. Since BASICS is completely confidential, only with the student's permission (Authorization to Release Attendance for BASICS Assessment) may a dean or coach be informed that the student completed the assessment. Parton Counseling does not share any specific information regarding BASICS assessment.
Because of its demonstrated effectiveness, BASICS has been identified as a Model Program by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It was developed with the support of research grants from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism by Dr. G. Alan Marlatt at the University of Washington.
For more about BASICS, see Linda Dimeff et al. Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students (BASICS): A Harm Reduction Approach. NY: Guilford, 1999.

A new commander will take charge of the 75th Air Base Wing (ABW) during a formal change of command ceremony at Hill Air Force Base at 9 a.m. Jan. 11.
Col. Kathryn L. Kolbe will assume command of the 75th ABW from Col. Sarah E. Zabel.
More than 230 members of Hill Air Force Base's active duty 388th Fighter Wing and Air Force Reserve 419th Fighter Wing recently departed for a deployment to the U.S. Pacific Command Theater.
The pilots, maintainers and support personnel will provide F-16 air support in the Western Pacific region as part of a routine theater security package rotation.
The Aerospace Heritage Foundation of Utah, which supports the Hill Aerospace Museum, will hold its annual Commander's Cup charity golf tournament Oct. 1 at Hubbard Golf Course.
Each year amateur and professional golfers participate in the tournament, and this year's event won't be any different. Several golfers from the local area are slated to play, as well as LPGA Tour professional Brittany Lincicome, who will host a pre-tournament golf clinic at 11:15 a.m. for tournament goers.
No parking is available near Hangar 204 for today's ceremony so shuttle buses will transport attendees from The Landing and from the parking lot at the corner of Georgia Street and Wardleigh Road, beginning at 9 a.m. The ceremony will begin at 10 a.m.
At the ceremony presided over by Gen. Janet Wolfenbarger, commander of Air Force Materiel Command, multiple events will occur including:
The base recently launched a new and improved official Twitter account: @HAFB. People who follow @HAFB can get access to pertinent service-, command- and base-unique news, information and photos.
"Using Twitter gives us a unique and immediate means to communicate with base employees and the public," said George Jozens, 75th Air Base Wing director of public affairs. "This name change is being made to give the base a simpler and more recognizable Twitter handle."
One of the nation's famed Tuskegee Airmen will visit the Hill Aerospace Museum at 11:30 a.m. on Feb. 2.
Retired Air Force Lt. Col. James H. Harvey III will speak about his experiences including being the first African American pilot to fly combat missions over Korean airspace.
The base's African American Heritage Committee helped arrange the event with the help of the Hill Aerospace Heritage Foundation.
The creator of a popular home fitness program is scheduled to visit the base to train with Hill personnel Feb. 2. Highly-esteemed personal trainer and creator of P90X Tony Horton will be conducting fitness classes for Hill personnel.
Officials from Hill Air Force Base and Sunset Ridge Development Partners LLC hosted a ribbon cutting and groundbreaking ceremony Jan. 18.
The event celebrated the completion of a brand new building for the 75th Security Forces Squadron and the ceremonial groundbreaking of a new commercial office building that will be built on the base's west side.
LIBERTY -- For Airmen, a deployment can mean up to 12 months away from loved ones, missing precious childhood moments and marriages under stress. That's why the Wolf Creek Foundation is announcing its annual concert series, which is held to support family-focused retreats for Airmen and their families.

Almost all servers and workloads can be virtualized, but in some cases you may not want to virtualize certain servers because of high-resource utilization, licensing issues, and application support issues.
Here are 4 reasons why you might not want to virtualize certain servers (and 4 reasons why you might).
[ See also: Securing your virtual environment and What developers need to know about virtualization ]
High-resource utilization servers
Why you might not want to virtualize. -- A server that has very high resource requirements may not always be as good a fit as a virtual server. Typically, these types of servers have very high CPU and memory usage and high disk and network I/O, and on a virtual host where multiple servers are competing for resources they might not perform as well.
Why you should consider virtualizing. -- When virtualizing these types of servers, you may be able to have only one or two VMs on a host server. You might wonder why anyone would want to put just a single VM on an ESX host. The reason for this is to take advantage of some of the powerful features that virtualization offers such as snapshots, VMotion, and high availability (HA) that are more difficult and costly to implement in a physical environment. Also, virtualizing these servers can make for easier disaster recovery implementation and simplified hardware upgrades.
Vendor licensing models
Why you might not want to virtualize. -- Some applications, such as Oracle, do not have virtualization-friendly licensing and require you to license their software based on the number of physical CPUs in the host server and not the number of virtual CPUs assigned to the VM that is running the application. So, a VM with two virtual CPUs on a four-CPU host server would require you to purchase a license for four CPUs regardless of the fact that the VM that is running the application has only two virtual CPUs.
Why you should consider virtualizing. -- Thankfully, most vendors today license their software based on the number of CPUs assigned to the server regardless of whether they are physical or virtual. Other vendors are changing their licensing models to meet the growing demand for using virtual servers. Check with your vendor to see if they have changed their licensing model or have any plans to do so in the future.
Application support
Why you might not want to virtualize. -- Some vendors will not provide support for their application if it is running on a virtual server.
Why you should consider virtualizing. -- Very few vendors do not support running their applications on virtual servers. Consider alternative support options. (For example, HP provides support for both VMware and Microsoft products.)
Specific licensing requirements
Why you might not want to virtualize. -- Certain applications use stricter licensing methods to prevent piracy and illegal use of their software. Examples of this are hardware dongles (parallel/serial port/USB device keys) that plug into the server and must be present at all times and specific MAC address or hard drive serial number licensing. If a VM moves from one host to another as a result of a failure or due to resource constraints on a host, then the hardware dongle will no longer be present and the application will no longer work.
Why you should consider virtualizing. -- There are ways to accommodate these types of licensing schemes on virtual servers. Digi makes a device called AnywhereUSB that works with ESX servers and provides IP-based connections to USB devices.

At the end of the American Civil War in which 500,000 men died, the Lincoln government held out the hand of friendship and told Confederate soldiers to keep their horses and ride home and return to their farms. Only one person was executed as a result of this bloody war. The Sri Lanka government refuses to extend the hand of peace and reconciliation. Hundreds of thousands of defeated Tamils remained locked in camps which the outside world cannot visit. Sri Lanka's government argues that rebels might be lurking within the ranks of the refugees and therefore care must be taken before any are released. A staunch supporter of the government's war against the Tamils noted that despite promises of peace once the war ended, "they have locked them up like animals with no date certain of when they will be released. This is simply asking for another conflict later on down the road."
Sri Lanka's president, Mahinda Rajapaksa insists he is merely trying to protect the people who are now locked up in camps. He warns that rebels might escape if the refugees are allowed to leave. Sri Lanka most probably is daily creating rebels as thousands linger in camps with no prospect of work or being able to enjoy a normal life.

In: Rowlinson, P.,Wachirapakorn, C., Pakdee, P., and Wanapat, M., editors. Integrating Livestock-Crop systems to meet the challenges of globalisation. 1:249-259. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Inefficient utilization of the CP in ruminant diets, and the feeding of large amounts of protein supplements that this inefficiency necessitates, leads to excessive feed costs and environmental N losses in ruminant production. Maximizing microbial protein formation in the rumen is the most effective way to improve the protein status of the lactating ruminant. Only part of the dietary protein can be replaced by urea or other NPN sources because of a limitation in the ability of ruminal microbes to utilize the resulting ammonia as their sole source of RDP. Ammonia is used best on diets with greater amounts of NFC and/or higher digestible fiber; thus, enhancing the value of NPN supplementation on diets based on tropical forages is problematic. Feeding more extensively processed concentrate, if adequate effective fiber is maintained in the diet, will help maximize utilization of dietary NPN for microbial protein formation in the rumen. Replacing some dietary NFC with sugars or high-pectin feeds may be advantageous for improving ruminal microbial protein formation. As well as supplying ruminal energy, adding molasses to the diet stimulates intake and, thus, helps improve utilization of diets containing high-fibrous feeds and/or urea. The NRC (2001) model can also be used to match RDP with carbohydrate fermentation. Future research should be directed toward feeding only the required CP to minimize N excretion without losing animal productivity.

Conrad Tao on Subverting Sonic Expectations
At only 19, composer-pianist Conrad Tao already has an enviable career. The winner of eight consecutive Morton Gould Young Composer Awards, Tao is currently working on a joint degree from Columbia and Juilliard and new a commission for the Dallas Symphony commemorating the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's assassination. He recently released his debut album "Voyages" and, earlier this month, curated UNPLAY, a three-day new-music festival.
Conrad Tao writes the following of his Mixtape:
I love mixtapes – or, at least, their digital counterpart. I have never had to master cassette recorders in order to avoid the dreaded clicking sound between tracks, nor have I ever really burned a mix for somebody. I have, however, stayed up unreasonably late many a night just rearranging playlists in iTunes or Spotify, thinking about the best way to share them with people, or spent hours crafting a seamless 70-minute mix in Ableton or GarageBand and debating whether or not to split it into individual tracks.
All of the works on this mixtape extend or subvert the sonic capabilities and/or expectations of preëxisting musical forms, notions, or techniques. Richard D. James mines John Cage's prepared piano for exquisite, miniature beauty in the harmonically frank "Jynweythek". Tujiko Noriko and Tatsuya Yamada take the cyclical melodism of J-pop into luxuriously free structures, while Laurel Halo reduces pop songs to their barest components and rearranges them to hypnotic effect.
Michael Gordon's Instrumental sounds like several broken radios all tuned into the classical station playing Vivaldi, their speeds adjusted. Nick Zammuto offers an ingenious take on the "field recording." Arnold Dreyblatt, Phyllis Chen, Meredith Monk, and John Luther Adams use 21-tone scales, mixing bowls, wine glasses, and speaker feedback experimentation, respectively, to counter the rigidity of Western tonality. Colin Stetson and Björk both use technological wizardry to summon unexpected timbres and sounds from their instruments – he on the saxophone, she with the human voice.
On 1972's amazing The Electronic Spirit of Erik Satie, the Camarata Contemporary Chamber Orchestra mixes Satie's considerable wit with the familiar sound of a Moog synthesizer. And, last but not least, Canadian avant-pop wizard d'Eon crafts a delicate "music for keyboards" out of chintzy synth presets.

Employee advocacy is one of the fastest growing social business programs, per a report last year from the Altimeter Group. A new study from Altimeter [download page] delves further into social media employee advocacy, finding that for brands, increasing awareness and brand health are the top business drivers for investing in such a program.
Among the 164 respondents to the study, each of whom are from companies with more than 250 employees, the top business drivers cited for investing in an employee advocacy program were:
Some of those drivers are likely to be met with more success than others, per results from the report, which also surveyed more than 2,000 consumers.
[SPONSORED: How to Deliver Content Your Employees Will Love to Share]
For example, consumers seem to better understand companies after reading posts from their friends, and many find job postings and product promotions useful. These and other results suggest that consumers will respond to key program drivers such as promoting brand understanding, improving recruiting and increasing revenues.
Still, the study finds some misalignment in brand intent and consumer response. Whereas increasing social reach and awareness was the top-cited brand driver for employee engagement investments, just 8% of consumers reported having shared employee-generated content.
Interestingly, while 55% of employees surveyed report having posted information about work on their own or as part of a company endorsed program, only 15% of consumers say that anyone they're connected to on social sites has posted content about work. The analysts believe "this indicates friends' posts about work are largely seen as a natural part of their life, and not brand messages." That makes some sense, given that posts about daily workplace life are the most commonly shared by employees, along with job postings.
For their part, the top motivations employees gave for sharing information about their employer on social media accounts were:
Overall, employees appear to be motivated by a shared benefit for themselves and their brands. Employees surveyed said that their most common reaction to sharing employer's content is to feel more connected and enthusiastic about the company they work for.
Previous research on this topic has found various perceived benefits to employee engagement in advocacy programs, with an expanded professional network and the ability to keep up with industry trends as the most commonly cited.
To encourage sharing of work-related information, almost half of employees said that leaders share, setting a good example (48%), while close to 4 in 10 indicated that their employer has given them feedback about their posts, or that they have written guidelines.
Notably, while companies have long been aware of the risk of employees posting content on social sites that could damage their reputation, few brands surveyed by Altimeter say that employees sharing inappropriate content is a challenge that they have faced with advocacy programs. Instead, content challenges (53%) are the top-cited challenge, followed by difficulty keeping employees motivated (49%), low adoption rate of the program by employees (47%) and leadership commitment and alignment (44%).
In terms of low adoption, the most common reason why employees have decided not to share employer content even after being asked is due to a preference for keeping their professional and personal life separate (33%). Far fewer (5%) were worried that it may turn off their friends and followers, although this may be a fairly significant program, given that results from the consumer survey indicate that 20% have ever blocked, unfollowed, or unfriended someone because of their posts about work.
Overall, employees who don't share content are fairly evenly split in attributing their decision to a lack of value for them or for their company.
For brands, the primary driver of the employee advocacy program is to engage customers (45%), but close behind, 40% say that engaging employees is the their top driver. Just 15% see financial return as the top motivation, although presumably this is a benefit of greater customer engagement.
About the Data: The Altimeter Group report describes its methodology as follows:
"Altimeter conducted both qualitative and quantitative research for this report, using brand interviews, vendor briefings and 3 global surveys: Consumers (their perception of posts about work by others); Brands (their goals, challenges and current state); and Employees (to understand what motivates them to engage in employee advocacy programs). This research includes North America and Europe. Research began with interviews in Q4 2015 and ended with surveys for each of the three key stakeholder groups in Q1 2016. In our Consumers and Employees research, North America includes the United States and Canada, and for Europe, Germany, France and the United Kingdom are included."
Most (not all) results are based on the following sample sizes: 2,285 consumers; 185 employees; and 164 brands.
Topics: Brand Loyalty & Purchase Habits, Brand Metrics, Content Marketing, Customer Engagement, Customer Service & Experience, Internal Collaboration, Online, Social Media, Staffing, Word of Mouth

Cannot track the vehicle any longer
Last time when I logged into my account my car was en route to US. Then apparently it was off loaded at NY 09/26. Now when I log into my account it does not show under "track my BMW" tab, rather only under financial account.
My CA has not had any information about the car as of yet. Does anybody else has the same experience?
Strange. When my car reached port in NY, my CA told me that he was given an estimated delivery day (October 4). My car was listed under finishing touches, which is the step before it arrives at the dealership.
The tracking system may be even more messed up than usual at the moment.
I'm tracking a Mini right now--presumably the same tracking system as BMW. The phone system was a week late telling me that the car got on the ship, and then a few days later (when the car was actually in New Jersey) the phone system reverted to claiming the car was back at the port in England. The online system is worse: it claims the car is a 2009 that was delivered in 2009. Phone system still claims it's at the port in England now that it's on a truck to Minnesota.
Asking your dealer for a Vehicle Inquiry Report seems to be the only accurate way to get info.
At the moment, the BMW tracking seems pretty accurate and up to date. I literally just received a call from my dealer saying the car came into the dealership today. I checked My BMW, and it says the car is at the dealership.
Great, yes my car was also on Toronto. It was ED, could this be the difference! It has to go to PCD, I don't know how long it's gonna take. Thanks for the input guys.

This year has been huge for SEO; Google is finally clamping down on cheap, easy link-building and rewarding those sites with authentic, high-quality and engaging content.
The SEO industry is shedding its shady reputation and being recognised as a skilful online marketing art. Here are five of the most memorable updates the Branded3 SEO team were talking about this year:
The Penguin and Panda updates
Hitting UK searches in April this year, Google's latest Penguin update fought against aggressive web spam tactics and aimed to clean up link profiles. It's estimated that this update affected 0.3% of UK queries, but even to those it didn't hit, it sent a clear message that Google was fighting 'over-optimisation'.
Google has also continued to refine and modify the Panda algorithm update this year, which affects whole sites rather than just specific pages, and penalises low-quality sites with copied or useless content. So-called 'content farms' have been the target, confirming that Google's aim is to reprimand those sites who try too hard with black-hat SEO tactics.
Although many webmasters and SEO's had a tough time this year in the wake of these updates; moving forward, it means that sites can now focus on quality content and achieving user goals, rather than trying to play the system.
Tweets Vs. Rankings
Earlier this year, we conducted an extensive study into the effect of tweets on Google rankings. In the biggest study of its kind, our research indicated that URLs receive a significant boost in Google rankings when they are shared on Twitter.
This revolutionary study was undertaken using Branded3's innovative online petition site, Twitition, and findings have shown that the average ranking for URLs with over 7,500 tweets directing to them, have an average Google SERPs ranking of 4.96.
Obviously, we're aware that correlation does not imply causation and it would be impossible to isolate other factors influencing rankings in this study, but the study has returned some really interesting results, and we'll be conducting plenty more in 2013.
The increasing need for mobile SEO
This year saw a massive shift in search trends with some of Branded3's clients receiving over 50% of their traffic via mobile devices. With the ever-increasing smartphone market, it's essential that brands factor mobile SEO into their strategies next year, because not doing so could cut out a massive proportion of their audience.
We outlined three main steps on Blogstorm that we use to deliver mobile content so that it delivers on an SEO level, but our preferred method is utilising responsive design so that there's only one URL for users to remember, one URL for Google to crawl and index, and one reinforced brand message.
Our Head of Search, Tim Grice commented on the benefits of mobile search for local businesses:
"There is also a significant opportunity to drive local traffic as over 60% of all searches made from a mobile have local intent. This is massive for local businesses and stores, who can now quickly drive traffic and foot flow by optimising their local listings and mobile sites for local search."
The disavow tool
News which came as a massive relief to the SEO industry this year was the announcement of Google's disavow tool. We had a mass of webmasters approaching us this year regarding penalties, link removals and reconsideration requests, and at last the disavow tool brought positive news!
We had a strong feeling this was coming before it was announced, and had even developed a great link removal process before the disavow tool was launched, but it indicated to us and other SEO's that Google was willing to help.
Our strategy for any clients who had been hit by the Penguin update was to first implement a link audit and identify the spam links, and use these in a disavow reconsideration request.
We're still finding that plenty of websites are still struggling with spam links, so if you want any advice on using the disavow tool, feel free to get in touch! Alternatively, expert Tim Grice has written a fantastic guide on SEOwizz on how the tool works.
The rise of Content Marketing
In-line with Google's step towards rewarding authentic content, our Content Marketing service has enjoyed a huge surge in popularity this year. What's great about this direction for SEO is that the number one goal is to make pages better, not getting as many links as you can.
Our Director of Search, Patrick Altoft explained in a Blogstorm article earlier this month that improving commercial pages is the first step to take when implementing a content strategy. We've taken this approach with a few of our clients now, and made big changes to the design, layout and content on their landing pages, and even managed to boost the number of conversions for one client by 80% in just a few months by changing only one page.
Google's algorithms use hundreds of user engagement signals, and this shift towards recognising high-quality, engaging sites means that you simply must have a content strategy. Content Marketing will be huge next year, and we can't wait!
What was big for you in SEO in 2012?

Blazer fans,
As odd as it may sound, I thought all along a game with Southern Miss (in Hattiesburg) might be exactly what the Blazers were needing. You knew it would be tough, physical, ugly...everything that UAB basketball had been while winning 19 games this season. A change in the starting line-up paid some dividends, as well, and after 40 hard-fought minutes at the Reed Green Coliseum, it looked like the UAB we'd grown accustomed to seeing this year was back. The Blazers picked up their 20th win of the season, and USM head coach Larry Eustachy noted in his post-game radio interview he thought UAB just wanted it more and played harder than the Golden Eagles for the entire game. I agree.
Now comes a totally different challenge...Houston. The Cougars come to Bartow Arena on Saturday night with one of the most explosive players and offenses in Conference USA. Aubrey Coleman is averaging 25+ points a game, and the Coogs are number two in the league in scoring. The Blazer defense will be in for a workout, but the offense may get a little boost, as well. UH loves to score...they love to shoot...that defense thing? Eh. Opponents are shooting 46% from the field, and Tom Penders' team is giving up over 74 points per game.
In normal cases, that would make me excited. But having watched this UAB team lose a couple of games when scoring in the 70s...with five players scoring in double figures...I think I'd rather see the Green and Gold win another 65-60 game. If the Blazers can hold Houston in the 60s, I think the odds are good the two-game skid at Bartow Arena will come to an end. If it gets into the 70s, things could be interesting. Check that...it always seems to be interesting when Tom Penders and company come to Birmingham.
The weather is going to be nice...the game is at 7 PM...you have NO reason whatsoever to not be at Bartow Arena tomorrow night. This team needs a strong finish to the regular season, and another home loss doesn't fit into that scenario. So, come out and help this team regain a little swagger on the home floor, and enjoy what is, historically, an exciting game between these two teams.
Well...time to get ready for the Cougars...and maybe get out and enjoy a little of this nice weather we're having! No snow in several days...who knew Vancouver would be jealous of Birmingham this time of year?
Have a great weekend...see you at Bartow Arena...and GO BLAZERS!!! DC

The success of any large event relies on the good will of volunteers. Our greatest need for volunteers will be during show hours. Volunteers are needed all days from 8:30–5 pm. For each 4–6 hours worked, volunteers receive one free admission and one lecture. Call Judy Hill at 503.648.2349 for more information about volunteering. (Ages 18+.)

text: Hey guys, just wondering if any of you have a regular gun smith you go too? I have two trigger jobs and two sets of night sights I need installed on two of my handguns. Also, have two muzzle breaks/ compensators I want to have installed on my two AR's. Gotta have the barrels threaded and the muzzle breaks soldered on. I'm not looking to mess up my guns, much rather pay the money and have a local gun smith do it for me. I'm right in North Attleboro and there are a coue around there but just curious if anyone else has a regular guy they go to. So any input or suggestions would be much appreciated, thank you in advance!

Course DescriptionThis course introduces assessment and common interventions (including technical procedures) for clients with chronic illnesses common across the life span in major ethnic groups. The client's and family's "lived experience" of the condition is explored. Clinical practice guidelines and research evidence are used to guide clinical judgments in care of individuals with chronic conditions. Multidisciplinary team roles and responsibilities are explored in the context of delivering safe, high quality health care to individuals with chronic conditions (includes practical and legal aspects of delegation). Cultural, ethical, legal and health care delivery issues are explored through case scenarios and clinical practice. Case exemplars include children with asthma, adolescents with a mood disorder, adults with type 2 diabetes, and older adults with dementia. The course includes class room and clinical learning experiences. Prerequisites: NRS 110. Prerequisites/concurrent: (NRS 230 or NRS 231) and (NRS 232 or NRS 233).
Intended Outcomes for the course
1. Conduct a health assessment that is family-centered and both developmentally and culturally appropriate and interpret, and use the resulting health data focusing on:
- mental and functional status, ADLs and IADLs,
- coping/adaptive strategies used by client/family,
- lived experiences of chronic illness, including recognition of stigma and its impact on
vulnerability and maintaining health,
- impact of condition on family functioning, and
- specific lab value interpretation and medication concerns such as polypharmacy.
2. Provide safe and effective, developmentally and culturally appropriate care to clients with chronic illness including:
- safely and effectively assisting clients with ADLs & IADLs,
- identifying and providing for comfort needs (physical and emotional),
- teaching clients/families about interventions for managing symptoms such as chronic pain and fatigue,
- teaching clients about self-assessment and self-management in highly prevalent chronic conditions such as (but not limited to) congestive heart failure, dementia, type 2 diabetes, depression, and
- addressing basic questions about prognosis of illness.
3. Develop and implement a family-centered plan of care for a client with a chronic illness that incorporates evidence-based intervention strategies, assessment data, child and family developmental considerations, and demonstrates a deep understanding of the clients perspective and illness experience within the framework of exacerbation, trajectory, and plateau.
4. Apply ANA Code of Ethics in the care of persons with a chronic illness or disability.
5. Identify roles and functions of members of the health care team in order to provide care for the chronically ill.
6. Use therapeutic communication skills in the development of therapeutic relationships with clients and families.
7. Recognize potential legal and ethical issues related to client autonomy across the lifespan in at risk populations.

Rookie in Milwaukee
I recently purchased my childhood home from my mother after my father passed away last summer. I'm starting remodeling and renovations in just about every room in the house (not all at the same time though).
Mom is still living with me and we've already finished the master bath (if you've got any questions on that, I think I researched every bathroom possibility there is). I'm a pretty handy and mechanical person thanks to my Dad but haven't attempted something on such a large scale. I'm actually pretty exited about getting down to it. I also work for a plumbing contractor company so I get plenty of advice from the guys I work with (they're like a bunch of fretting brothers, God bless 'em).
Good luck to everybody out there on their own projects!
Theresa, Sorry to hear about the loss of your father.

Tech. Sgt. Juan R. Alomar, 388th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, was selected at the 12th Air Force level for one of the categories for the Lt. Gen. Leo Marquez Award.
Col. Scott Long passed along his praise.
"Please say congratulations to Tech. Sgt. Alomar, who won the 12th Air Force Leo Marquez Award for technical supervisor! He will now go on to compete at the MAJCOM level. Great work," Long noted.
The Volunteer Excellence Award was presented April 16 to Holly Cope at the Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast at The Landing.
Lt. Col. Abigail Ruscetta commands the 388th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, no small task. She is married to another Air Force officer, now assigned to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and on top of that is the mother of a 20 month-old. As any mother of a toddler will tell you, that role is something that is not done without care and thought.
Maj. Abigail Ruscetta, 388th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron commander, spoke to two different breakout session groups Oct. 25 at the Ogden Weber Chamber's annual Women Empowered conference.
The conference, in its eighth year, had three different breakout sessions as well as a morning session speaker and a noon session speaker. The session speakers, in addition to Ruscetta, included Vanessa Koper, a corporate online sales trainer for Sandusky Digital and Zack Barlow, a certified personal trainer with Gold's Gym. The event was held at Weber State in the Shepherd Union building.

Meric USF and Rutgers Battle Elements Before 2-2 Tie October 06, 2012 By USF Related Links Box Score Season Stats Big East Stats Sign Up For Free Email Updates Team 1 2 OT1 OT2 Final Rutgers 1 1 0 0 2 USF 1 1 0 0 2 By Cursten Taylor Special to GoUSFBulls.com TAMPA - USF tied Rutgers 2-2 in a double-overtime match that was delayed over an hour due to thunderstorms. The game began as a defensive struggle, but the offenses picked up as the game progressed. USF (6-2-4, 1-0-3) remains one of the teams to beat in the Red Division, and head coach George Kiefer is hoping his team keeps fighting to maintain its position in the Big East. "I think we're definitely moving in the right direction, Kiefer said. "We just have to keep going." The Bulls found the back of the net first in the 28th minute when Lucas Baldin scored his second goal of the season on a penalty kick after he was fouled in the goalie box by Rutgers' goalkeeper, Kevin McMullen. USF played with extra intensity on the defensive end after the score—highlighted by a spectacular diving save by Eric Osswald after withstanding a flurry of attacks by Rutgers. Rutgers (5-4-1, 1-2-1) fought back to tie the score at one when Mael Corboz's free kick got the Scarlet Knights on the board in the 53rdminute. Nature intervened in the 57th minute, and play was stopped for approximately an hour due to inclement weather. Both teams found their offenses following the delay as each team scored a goal in a one-minute span beginning with Rutgers' Kene Eze goal in the 66th minute to give Rutgers its first lead of the match. However, Rutgers did not maintain the lead very long as USF responded with a goal of its own in the 67th minute when Samuel Hosseini's lead pass to Ben Sweat setup Leston Paul for his third goal of the year. USF and Rutgers each had its chances to win the game in regulation, but the match headed to overtime with both teams tied at two. After two hard-fought overtimes, the Bulls earned a single point for the third match in a row. The Bulls will resume play 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 10 at Corbett Soccer Stadium for a non-conference match against Mercer. USF G A Shots Paul, Leston 1 0 4 Rutgers G A Shots Eze, Kene 1 0 3 USF Min.

Deploying ATL Server Applications
When deploying ATL Server applications, normally you will not have any system dependencies other than the C run-time libraries (MSVCR71.dll) and your own application DLLs. However, this will depend on your project configuration, so you need to verify that you have identified all components that your application needs before deploying. See Determining Which DLLs to Redistribute for information on locating dependencies.
XML Web services created using ATL Server require at a minimum that MSXML 3.0 be installed on the target computer. You can download the latest XML Parser from the MSDN Online XML/XSL Website (http://msdn.microsoft.com/xml).
Be aware that the definition of
_WIN32_WINNT generated by the application wizard in StdAfx.h causes your projects to depend on a minimum level of operating system support.
To deploy an ATL Server application by hand
- Build your application and locate all of the components that you need to distribute. An ATL Server Web application or XML Web service could include any of the following items:
- ISAPI extension DLL
- Web application DLLs
- Dependencies (MSVCR71, MSXML, or other components specific to your project)
- Server response files
- Discovery documents
- HTML pages, style sheets, images, and other content
- Copy the files and dependencies to an appropriate location on the target computer.
You can use multiple folders to store your files so that you can configure different permissions for each folder. It can be worthwhile to store static content (HTML pages, style sheets, images), server response files, and DLLs in three or more different folders.
Some DLLs (such as XML Web service DLLs) will be accessed directly by the user, while others (for example, Web application DLLs that are only used by server response files) will not be accessed in this way, so you may find site management simpler if each of these categories has its own folder.
Whatever folder structure you choose, you will need to be sure that relative and absolute paths used in your files are correct. In particular, you will need to be sure that the handler tags in your server response files point to the right locations.
- Set NTFS file security appropriately. See ATL Server Security for details of the security contexts used in a typical ATL Server application or XML Web service.
- Start Internet Services Manager (for example, on the Start menu, click Programs, then Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Services Manager).
- Choose a Web site in which to install your application. Typically, this will be the Default Web Site.
- Right-click the site and click New and then click Virtual Directory from the shortcut menu.
- Enter the name of the virtual directory in the Alias box.
- Select the folder used in Step 2 as the Web Site Content Directory for this new virtual directory.
- Give the new directory Run scripts, and Execute permissions.
This assumes the directory only contains server response files and XML Web service DLLs. In general, follow these guidelines for giving permissions to your directories:
- Give Read permissions if the directory contains static content (HTML pages, style sheets, images, and other content).
- Give permissions to Run scripts if the directory contains server response files and the ISAPI extension is registered as a script engine. It is not necessary or desirable to give Read permissions.
- Give Execute permissions if the directory contains server response files and the ISAPI extension is not registered as a script engine, or if the directory contains XML Web service or Web application DLLs that will be accessed directly by the user. It is not necessary or desirable to give Read permissions.
- If the directory contains DLLs and other files that are never to be accessed directly by the user of the Web site, disable Read, Run scripts, and Execute permissions. These DLLs can still be called from server response files or used from code, but they cannot be called or downloaded directly by users of the Web site.
- Click Next and Finish to end the wizard and create the virtual directory.
- Right-click the newly created virtual directory and select Properties from the context menu.
- Click the Configuration button on the Virtual Directory page of the Properties dialog box.
- Use the App Mappings page of the Application Configuration dialog box to register your ISAPI extension DLL as the handler for DLLs and server response files as described in Associating SRF Files with Your ISAPI DLL by Hand.
You do not need to register the ISAPI extension as the handler for a file extension if you never use it. If you only allow users to access your site using server response files, you do not need to register the ISAPI extension as the handler for DLLs. If you only provide XML Web services that are accessible directly as DLLs, you do not need to register the ISAPI extension as the handler for server response files.
- Optional. Set Application Protection to an appropriate level.
- Optional. Set the appropriate default documents on the Documents page.
- Optional. On the Directory Security page, set the appropriate security for your application.
- Optional. Configure other settings using Internet Services Manager.
To deploy an ATL Server application using a setup project
- It is recommended that you use a Web Setup project to create an MSI file that automates the process of setting up an ATL Server application. For more information, see Deployment Projects.
To deploy an ATL Server application to the local machine during development
- You can use the Web Deployment Property Page to automate the process of setting up an ATL Server application when developing on a machine that has IIS installed.

how to make migas video (scroll down for migas recipe)
When I'm thinkin' migas, I am definitely thinking Arby's. Just kidding. Don't know where that horrible "joke" came from. It's late. I'm tired. And I could go for some spicy, cheesy migas right about now. Talkin' Tex-mex migas, buddy!
That's like the best scrambled eggs mixed with pico de gallo and topped with cheese and then you mix CHIPS right in there WITH the EGGS! It's goddamn brilliant. Thank you, Mexico, for your culinary delights that continue to surprise and satisfy me in all the ways I wish a man could. Oh criminy! I'm kidding, guys! But you know I do love Mexican food.
Migas originally came from Spain and, like many traditional recipes from around the world, was invented as a way to use up old bread. Migas means "crumbs" in Spanish. Boom. Learned you something. Old corn tortillas used to be much easier to come by in Mexico than old bread, I imagine, seeing as how corn was native and all, so I guess that's how we got migas like these. Watch the video and learn something else: How to make Migas and impress the pants off any sexy friend who's lucky enough to spend the night at your house. "The pants? Really?" Oh yes, my love. Really really really. There is something inherently hot about migas. I'm not sure I know what yet, but by golly, I'll get there someday. Right now I'm going to take a nap. And dream about migas.
Migas recipePrint
Migas Recipe
- Yield: 4
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 3 corn tortillas
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon, each, salt and pepper
- 1/3 cup chopped onion
- 1/3 cup chopped tomato (about one small roma), remove the seeds before you chop it
- 2 Tablespoons minced jalapeno
- 1/4 cup grated cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- Heat up your oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high.
- Slice your tortillas into 1/4 inch strips.
- Fry those little boogers for a few minutes until they get crispied and browned.
- Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Saute the vegetables, except cilantro, in the remaining oil for a couple minutes until softened.
- Add your eggs (which you have beaten the hell out of and salted and peppered like I showed you in the scrambled eggs video) and half the tortilla strips.
- Sprinkle them with cheese and continue to cook, disturbing infrequently, like I showed you in the scrambled eggs video.
- Add cilantro and the rest of the tortillas when the eggs are almost ready. TaDa! Migas!
- Now make a taco.
- Eat it. You're welcome.

Attic Insulation Question
Hey all,
This is my first post. I'm in the process of buying a house and my fiance and I will be closing on it on March 2nd. The attic will need to be insulated after we move in. There's only 3 inches in the main area of the house and none in the addition they added on in the 60's. We'd like to do cellulose blow in insulation ourselves. What I'm confused on right now is if we need a vapor barrier. What is common practice? We are in central IL (Peoria, IL area)
I never see vapor barriers in attics.
Check out your ventilation first. You may have to install some baffles along the edge from the soffit up towards the ridge.
This is always a real pleasure to do after the fact.
Then you want to blow in r-50 of cellulose.
No vapor barrier.
No vapor barrier (at least not as most people think of it).
Air Seal and insulate.
Thanks everyone...that's what I was thinking.
Air seal, soffit vent chutes, and insulate. Sounds like a plan!
