Trailing Ellison teammate James Jessie on the two-on-one fast break, Thomas Larry's eyes bulged from behind his prescription goggles as Jessie unexpectedly dished the ball backward.
Larry slammed it home for his second two-handed dunk in a minute, dangling over Killeen's Addison Burgess as if he was waiting for the poster to be hung on the wall.
Back on the court, Larry let out a guttural scream as the fired up Eagles closed out the final 2:36 of the second quarter on a 13-2 run, emphatically slamming the door on one of several Roos rallies
Friday in a 79-49 victory.
"To be honest, I wasn't ready for the pass. I thought (Jessie) was just going to go up (for the layup) because that's just what he does," Larry said. "But when he passed it back, I said, 'Ok, I'll just go ahead and dunk it.'"
The win, made bigger by a lopsided 26-7 fourth quarter Ellison explosion as Killeen shot just 2-of-18 in the frame, allowed the Eagles (25-5, 10-1 8-5A) to maintain their stranglehold atop the District 8-5A standings with just three games remaining.
"We're not going to let them take it from us, because we want it and they want it. So we just have to play," said senior guard Tyree King, who finished with 13 points as one of four Eagles in double digits.
Hawkins led all scorers with 16 points, including a long-range 3-pointer to cap a 13-point first half, Larry added 15 points — eight in the second quarter — and 11 rebounds, while Ojai Black had 10 points.
Larry's hang-time dunks came at just the opportune time as Killeen had pulled within 29-26 with 3:10 to play after trailing 29-16 two minutes earlier on the backend of back-to-back fast-break buckets from Ellison's Malik Hawkins and Jessie.
"It sparked us, it got the crowd hyped, it got us hyped, and that's what we're known to do — it got us going," Black said of Larry's dunks.
But Roos forward Brian Long followed with a fastbreak layup of his own, Melvin Anthony hit a pair of free throws and Demariel Baker added six points on back-to-back-to-back possessions with three minutes to play.
"We kept fighting and fighting, but we just struggled on some plays," said Long, who finished with 10 points. With sharpshooter Demarius Cress out after suffering a concussion in Tuesday's win over Belton, Melvin Anthony and DeVarri McCray each led the Roos with 11 points apiece. "We really needed Demarius, ... it kind of hurt us with him not there right now."
Killeen (17-15, 6-5), which is still fighting for a playoff spot in its first season in 5A since 2002, wouldn't go away quietly though. The Roos opened the third quarter outscoring Ellison 10-4 to pull within 46-40 with 4:22 left in the frame.
But Larry rebounded a Devyn Williams miss and air-mailed it to a sprinting King for a fast-break layup, King scored on a jumper from the top of the key after a steal and then hit the back end of a free-throw opportunity after Killeen head coach Reggie Huggins was called for a technical foul for arguing with officials. A layup by Eagles reserve Malik Malone put Ellison ahead 53-40 with 1:42 remaining in the third as the Roos turned the ball over on five straight possessions before Burgess scored on a fastbreak with 4.2 seconds left.
Once in the fourth quarter, the Eagles began to pull away as Hawkins nailed the fourth of his four 3-pointers 45 seconds in and Larry putback a Black miss on Ellison's fifth opportunity under the basket on that possession to spark the late charge.
"Being down by 30 is not indicative of what the true score of the game was," Huggins said. "My kids did exactly what I needed them to do, and they shouldn't have anything to hold their heads about. Other factors we can't control maybe played a part."

Per the Epson website, the drivers for many Epson printers including my R200
are 'in the box' and Epson does not offer a separate Vista driver.
My R220 does operate correctly with the Vista driver, but when it is
accessed through printer properties it does not offer the ink monitor that
the XP driver did. I do get something in the notification area saying that
the ink is low when I print however. Is there a way to access an ink monitor
in Vista without having to print?
In addition, I really miss the ability to save printer settings for
different types of print jobs as I could with the old XP driver. Any

You may get a CMOS error on the first boot - press F1 to go to BIOS setup, then End to exit and save config. Install acpid.

Extended ER Diagrams
When an RDB implements an Extended ERD (EERD), a tuple's fkeys or inter-object cross-references can identify either a super-class object or an associated parent or container object (instance of a class).
Both types of fkeys share the same integer key value range, although they have distinct semantic meaning.
To improve readability, EERD's should use different styles for inheritance than for instance-level associations
In this example, CC both
inherits from AA and is a
component of the
composite entity BB.
It contains two fkeys,
(say) AAid and BBid.

'Cab' rapist gets nine years
A bogus minicab driver who lured women into his car and raped two of them, has been jailed for nine years.
The Old Bailey heard that Mohammed Akhtar, 28, of Watford Way, north-west London, posed as a cab driver to get women into his car from outside pubs and clubs.
He raped the first woman, a 21-year-old Norwegian, after picking her up outside a bar in Soho, central London, in June and driving her to Kensington.
The second victim, a 31-year-old, was picked up outside a central London nightclub and raped in a churchyard.
'Safer travel'
Akhtar was convicted at the Old Bailey earlier this month and remanded until Tuesday for reports.
The case comes only weeks after women in London were warned about the dangers of using illegal minicabs.
The Metropolitan Police and the Mayor of London created the Safer Travel at Night initiative earlier in October.
Posters with the slogan "Know what you're getting into?" were displayed on the London Underground network and in magazines.
Police figures show 214 women have been raped or sexually assaulted by illegal drivers in the capital over the past 12 months.

Beijing (AFP) June 30, 2014
China will re-open its embassy in strife-torn Somalia after a 23-year absence, it said Monday, as Beijing extends its diplomatic and resources push into Africa.
Beijing and Mogadishu established diplomatic ties in 1960, but China withdrew its diplomatic personnel and shut down its mission as the East African country descended into civil war in 1991.
The two maintained diplomatic relations despite the lack of a physical embassy.
Somalia's Al-Qaeda-linked Shebab fled fixed positions in Mogadishu three years ago, and have since lost most large towns to a 22,000-strong UN-backed African Union force, fighting alongside government soldiers.
The country has established its first government and parliament in 20 years, and Beijing will send a "re-opening group" on Tuesday, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei said at a regular briefing.
"It is fair to say that Somalia has entered a new age of national reconstruction which presents new development opportunities to the bilateral relations between China and Somalia," Hong said.
The re-opening "signals China's importance to Somalia", he added.
China, the world's second-largest economy, has for years been making diplomatic and economic inroads in Africa as it seeks new markets and sources of raw materials.
It is believed Somalia could have significant oil reserves.
China has become a key investor in several African countries -- including war-torn nations such as South Sudan -- and in May Chinese premier Li Keqiang made a four-country tour of the continent.
But Somalia's security situation remains delicate, and extremist fighters still regularly launch guerrilla raids.
At least two people were reported killed Monday and seven wounded when a bomb exploded in a busy Mogadishu market at the start of Islam's holy month of Ramadan.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but Shebab have carried out a string of similar bombings, and have vowed to increase attacks during Ramadan.

Imagine H2O's 7th annual program highlights growth opportunities for water data businesses
Imagine H2O® (IH2O®), the water innovation accelerator, announced the winners of its 2016 Water Data Challenge. Ten promising data-driven water businesses were selected from a global field of 90 startups in 20 countries to participate in IH2O's 7th annual innovation program. Winning teams will participate in IH2O's rigorous business accelerator, benefitting from cash awards, mentorship, industry exposure, as well as introductions to customers and investors.
"Data is a fundamental tool to improve how we monitor and manage water," said Andy Wheeler of GV (formerly Google Ventures) who served on the judging panel. "Imagine H2O's Data Challenge attracted some of the most promising data solutions to tackle pressing water challenges globally."
The Challenge's winner was Ceres Imaging (Oakland, CA), a breakthrough aerial imaging solution for agriculture. Offering a proprietary imaging technology and analytics platform currently unmatched in the industry, Ceres provides farmers affordable access to actionable data to manage water stress and fertilizer application.
Ayyeka (Jerusalem, Israel), a modular remote monitoring solution for water infrastructure, and Apana (Spokane, WA), a commercial water use management and detection platform, were both recognized as runners-up. IH2O's 2016 cohort offered a full range of innovative data solutions to critical water issues and all ten were showcased at the organization's annual Water Gala on March 16 in San Francisco.
"Once again, Imagine H2O attracted a broad and diverse field of really interesting startups and the finalists all stand to benefit from the organization's expertise, resources and network," said Steve Kloos, Partner at True North Venture Partners and a member of IH2O's advisory board. "I am honored to play a role in this important initiative to advance water innovation."
IH2O's judging panel, which includes leading industry experts from venture capital firms, water utilities and engineering businesses, assessed companies for their market viability, value proposition, and go-to-market strategy. During 2016, IH2O will provide accelerator participants with capacity building and strategic advice and connections to the organization's global network of investors and customers committed to deploying water technology.

Hope you don't mind me asking, but where do you get your vinyl?ReplyDelete
I wanted to ask the same thing... if you don't mind. I see EVERYONE using vinyl and I want to know how to use it and how to apply it to things like you did here. Do you use any glue product???ReplyDeleteReplies
Just saw your question there is no glue that you have to apply the adhesive is already on the vynil and it sticks very well . if you order vynil on line just make sure its like a sign vynil not a heat press vynil which would b for shirts so just regular craft vynil or sign vynil which comes in a lot of colors very funDelete

what machine do you have for personal vinyl cutting?ReplyDeleteReplies
I used the Cricut for this project, but no longer recommend this machine because there is no longer software to use with it. If you are looking for a good cutter I would recommend the Silhouette.Delete
What font are you using for the black mug? Thanks.ReplyDelete
Did you just cut the letters, and place them on the cup?ReplyDelete
Also, did you aplly anything to seal the letters down?
I would assume a cricut would be great for the letters.ReplyDelete

I tried to do this project putting hot pink Oracle vinyl on a black mug and the black color showed thru the vinyl and made it a really dull pink. How did you keep your pink so vibrant? (I've run into this same problem using other colors over black in the past...) TIA!ReplyDeleteReplies
I would try a different vinyl. I used permanent (outdoor) vinyl from craft vinyl.com.Delete

Andrea Clearfield: Composing East & West
Joan Myers Brown & the Audacious Hope of the Black Ballerina
Produced by Karen Smyles
November 2012
Andrea Clearfield is a Philadelphia native and an award winning American composer of music for orchestra, chorus, chamber ensembles, dance and multi-media collaborations. Her works are performed widely in the U.S. and abroad. Commissions include works for The Philadelphia Orchestra, The Debussy Trio and the Los Angeles Master Chorale, Carol Wincenc, the Turtle Creek Chorale, the Mendelssohn Club, Orchestra 2001 and Network for New Music. She has composed ten cantatas for voices and orchestra and is currently working on an opera.
Clearfield's newest cantata, Tse Go La (At the threshold of this life), was co-commissioned by the Mendelssohn Club and the Pennsylvania Girlchoir and premiered on April 29, 2012 with the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia. It was inspired by her experiences studying chant and folk music in the Tibetan community of Lo Monthang, located in a remote and restricted Himalayan region of Nepal.
This month Friday Arts talks with Andrea about her trek into the eastern world of music and how she was able to transform that experience into such a vibrant work. We also hear from the Tibetan community here in Philadelphia about the importance of sharing their music and culture with others.

This past weekend's Silver Lake Jubilee was certainly jubilant and with over 35 bands, food trucks galore, cute dogs as far as the eye could see, and perfect high 60s to low 70s weather, what was there not to be happy about? The only real disappointment of the weekend came to Soft Pack fans, when the band started its set 15 minutes early and only played for 35 minutes causing many to miss the set. Unless you consider the fact that the Maine Lobster truck was sold out of their gourmet lobster ice cream the whole festival to be a disappointment.
While nationally recognized groups like Kinky, Aloe Blacc, and Family Of The Year had good sets, this festival really belongs to the smaller local bands. Though Batwings Catwings was not the most technically proficient of the local acts, the band's fun nature got the crowd riled up despite not having the insane antics of XBXRX, whose loud punk almost drowned out Ben Ehrenreich's reading at the Pen Center's literary stage. But for those that really wanted to be loud, local gay bar, Eagle, hosted a side stage with boisterous punk and cover bands like Threeway and the Gay Gays. Chasing Kings' set was rock magic, causing even the most excited children to stop and look at the stage in awe. While Manhattan Murder Mystery and Abe Vigoda both had good sets, Sunday's best performance probably goes to Summer Twins whose care free radiance and cute vintage rock sound made its set reminiscent of Zooey Deschanel in She And Him.
Wildcat! Wildcat! was a highlight of Saturday's sets, but got lost due to the fact that they played early and right before the real artist to remember from the festival: Robert DeLong. DeLong was an 8-bit warrior, seamlessly creating danceable electro beats with his Wii Remote and Sega Genesis controller on par with the Chemical Brothers. In the audience a group of Robert DeLong fans, adorned with his orange neon "X" logo and face paint from the free block party section of the fest, shook their booties with joyous smiles singing along to every beat. Throughout the set they would throw their arms around each other, screaming lyrics, holding their shoulders tight in a cathartic musical hug.

How To Keep New Shoes Looking New
There's truly nothing more obnoxious than wearing new shoes for a week only to find that a few days of running around has taken them from pretty to tired-looking. Fortunately, this particular form of trauma is easily avoidable. After the jump, tips on how to keep your new shoes looking spankin' fresh a whole lot longer.
- If your new flats are thin-soled, take them to your local shoe repair shop and have the heels and toes reinforced with rubber. This will keep them from getting really scuffed right away and then wearing through. It should run you $20 to $30 but the shoes will last months longer if you do it right away.
- For heels, always have the front portion under the toe box reinforced with a thin plastic sole. This protects the toe and the sole of the shoe without being visible while you're wearing them. Should cost about $15.
- When you start to hear a metallic clinking sound, have your heel caps replaced right away or your stilettos will start getting nasty rather fast. Waiting too long to replace heel caps will mean the heels themselves get worn down and icky. Good news is this shouldn't cost more than $8 ever and can be done in about ten minutes.
- For boots you'll be wearing in bad weather, have those babies weather-treated to keep the salt stains and warping to a minimum. We like Motorex Protex Textile and Leather Waterproofing Spray which you can get at lots of shoe stores and online here.

Seagate FreeAgent Desktop 500 GB USB External Hard Drive ST305004FDA1E1-RK
2 Recommendations
spench's recommendation
So your stylin' new MacBook Pro holds a lot of stuff, but there still isn't enough room for your 30,000 digital photographs and the 1000 albums you spent 19 hours a day ripping last month. An external hard drive is what you need, and Seagate makes some of the best (although I'm not so fond of their latest industrial design....)
My Collections:
ppriess's recommendation
Oh the value of backup! Only those who lost important files know the importantace of keeping your files safe from you OS mood changes. FreeAgent by Seagate is a great and very affordable external drive you can carry any place and plug via USB 2 to almost any computer. It also comes with a backup software so you are ready to get your stuff safe. Ok, it'n no Time Machine (the Apple version of a backup drive) but it's great for any user nonetheless. Highly recommended! Feel safe, geat a FreeAgent.

The Blue Unicorn can be found on a "plateau" of 10000 ft. In 1998, the stable opened its doors to riders. The buildings are built in the traditional style with wide "adobe" walls and tiled roofs, with a "corredor" that receives the last rays of sun. Our facilities include the main house, other joined rooms, large stables and corrals. Five rooms receive our guests. At night, a large living room gathers in a warmful atmosphere, the riders around a fire to rest, chat and have dinner.
We have twelve horses, "criollos" with quarter horse origins and one more "English". They are medium sized, robust, willing and easy to ride. We chose and trained them to be very rustic for the sometimes very difficult terrain, while still retaining the vivacity and agility of saddle horses. We always try to find the horse best suited for each rider.
The rough and often rocky terrain forces us to a slow or moderate pace but every time is possible, we trot or canter. Riders will not be over 86 kgs/190 pounds.
The rides are lead by Pauline. She is a Equestrian Tourism Guide of the French Equestrian Federation, with 24 years in Guatemala and 18 in the area, and more than 40 years loving horses. She is bilingual in French and Spanish and speaks regular English.
Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Arrival to Unicornio Azul, dinner and night in double rooms.
Day 2: After breakfast, you will know your horse for the today ride 5-6 hours in the "meseta" with a picnic. In the mountain range, we will find large open spaces dotted with rocks, cactus, pine trees and small villages. The air is pure, sometimes the silence is suddenly interrupted by a herd going home or a galloping rider. It is the country of oat and potatoes but mainly of sheep. We ride through the maze of paths bordered by stone and cactus walls or along trails that skirt the mountains where we meet only mules on their way home with bundles on their backs or we canter through the green carpet of the plains. The views stretch sometimes for miles towards the lower ground of the highlands or the range of volcanoes. Dinner and night.
Day 3: For this second day, we will trot and canter in the wild "meseta" before descending and skirting the impressive gorge (1000 m in depth). We will picnic in the bank of the torrent with turquoise – and frozen – deep pools. From there, we will ride back along the trail which skirts the canyon. Return to Chancol for the farewell dinner and the night.
Day 4: Breakfast and leaving.

Facing possible criminal charges, Martin Ludlow stepped down Tuesday as head of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, acknowledging he made mistakes in his 2003 race for City Council but defiantly vowing to continue to speak out on issues.
Ludlow's decision marks the second time in a year the powerful county union has been left without a leader. His announcement came after weeks of speculation that federal prosecutors seek to charge Ludlow with violating city campaign laws in connection with a union telephone-bank operation during his closely contested council race.
The phone bank, carried out in mobile vans across his central Los Angeles district, was said to be operated by Service Employees International Union, Local 99, a union representing nonteaching personnel at the Los Angeles Unified School District.
"It is difficult to stand before you at this moment of great personal pain," Ludlow told a packed auditorium at a news conference at the federation's headquarters in downtown Los Angeles.
"Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said it is a measure of a man not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy."
As Ludlow spoke, union members, family and friends chanted and applauded him.
Ludlow said he had hoped to be able to resolve the issue with the city Ethics Commission, but the matter was escalated to a full investigation by federal and county authorities.
Officials in the offices of the U.S. attorney and district attorney said Tuesday that they would have no comment on the case or the impact of Ludlow's decision.
Ludlow reportedly has been offered a plea bargain in which he would pay a fine of $181,000 and restitution of $81,000. The deal also reportedly would ban him from holding a union executive post or elective position for 10 years.
The 41-year-old Ludlow has been on a political fast track since his days as political director at the county labor federation. He was named the union's secretary-treasurer last year after the sudden death of longtime leader Miguel Contreras. He was paid $140,000 a year in the post.
An emotional Ludlow, pumping his fist in the air, said Tuesday he was accepting full responsibility for what happened during his City Council campaign and that he felt he had to quit the labor post to deal with the legal matters.
The announcement followed what those close to him described as a tortured weekend during which he talked with his family - his wife, Kim, and her father, Bishop Charles Blake - as well as longtime political allies.
Prior to his official announcement Tuesday, Ludlow met privately with about 40 labor, community and religious leaders in a small conference room.
"It was a sad moment for all of us," said the Rev. Louis Logan, who also serves on the city's Board of Neighborhood Commissions. "What Martin needs now is our support. This is a setback for him and for the labor movement, but he is the type of person who can turn a negative into a positive."
Logan said he also is suspicious of how the case is being prosecuted.
"I think that whoever is behind this, whatever entity it is, has swirled the beehive," Logan said. "There are many of us who believe this is being done by those who want to undermine the labor movement."
Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez, D-Los Angeles, a close Ludlow ally, issued a statement of support, but also questioned the case.
"Throughout his public career, (Ludlow) conducted himself with integrity and honesty," Nuñez said. "While I fear he may have been subject to overzealous prosecutors, I respect the decision he has made to accept responsibility."
Ludlow's closest ally, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, was on a prearranged lobbying trip Tuesday in Sacramento and told reporters he had expected Ludlow to take responsibility if there was any wrongdoing.
"I said on Friday that if Mr. Ludlow made a mistake ... he would take full responsibility," Villaraigosa said. "He had demonstrated that he understands there are consequences that come in certain situations. I am proud of what he has done."
Ludlow was effusive in his praise of Villaraigosa, for whom he worked before being elected to the council.
"The city of Los Angeles is strong," Ludlow said. "And it has a great future under a man who has the potential to become the greatest president in American history. This is a man who took his hits - but rose to become mayor of the nation's second-largest city. I love this man dearly. He is my hermano grande."
Jack Kyser, chief economist for the Los Angeles Economic Development Corp., said Ludlow's decision to step down raises a number of questions.
"I think it leaves labor in an awkward situation - as well as the mayor," Kyser said. "This is the second labor leader in less than a year and his leaving under a cloud will only help those who oppose the labor movement.
"And I think his departure will have a ripple effect, particularly for the mayor. The mayor has been able to take on the school board and other issues because he had Martin Ludlow at the county fed backing him up. A lot will depend on who the unions pick to be their next leader."
Rick Icaza, president of the county federation as well as of United Food and Commercial Workers, Local 770, said a decision on an interim secretary-treasurer is expected to be made Thursday.
A final decision will come after all of the federation's member unions are able to vote on a candidate.
Several potential candidates already have been discussed, with most attention focusing on Kent Wong, executive director of the University of California, Los Angeles, Labor Institute.
Ludlow had been a unifying force at the union umbrella organization representing some 600,000 workers, keeping the coalition together to fight proposals from Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger that would have limited unions' ability to raise money for political campaigns.
His leadership came against a backdrop of national political battles over the AFL-CIO's power, with members of SEIU and Unite HERE, representing hotel and restaurant workers, voting to pull out of the national group.
Villaraigosa said selecting a successor will be difficult for union leaders.
"Clearly, they have lost a dynamic leader in Ludlow," Villaraigosa said. "He will be difficult to replace. But, as in the case with Miguel Contreras, I am confident the union leaders will find someone to take over who can do the job."
Ludlow offered his own assessment, saying the labor movement is bigger than one person.
"The labor movement will continue to be strong in Los Angeles," Ludlow said. "This is a movement that created the living-wage ordinance. This is a movement that kept the middle class out of poverty. This is a movement that built an unprecedented number of schools and fought for justice. Those fights were the right fights and they will continue."
Ludlow, who declined to answer any questions after making his remarks, gave no indication on his plans other than to say he expects to remain active in the city, particularly working to fight youth gangs.
As a councilman, Ludlow had proposed creating a separate city department to deal with gangs and coordinate related programs. The proposal is under review.

Microjoining and Nanojoining
Many recent advances in technology have been associated with nanotechnology and the miniaturization of components, devices and systems. Microjoining has been closely associated with the evolution of microelectronic packaging, but actually covers a much broader area, and is essential for manufacturing many electronic, precision and medical products.
Part 1 reviews the basics of microjoining, including solid-state bonding and fusion microwelding. Part 2 covers microjoining and nanojoining processes, such as bonding mechanisms and metallurgy, process development and optimization, thermal stresses and distortion, positioning and fixturing, sensing, and numerical modelling. Part 3 discusses microjoining of materials such as plastics, ceramics, metals and advanced materials such as shape memory alloys and nanomaterials. The book also discusses applications of microjoining such as joining superconductors, the manufacture of medical devices and the sealing of solid oxide fuel cells.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental aspects of microjoining processes and techniques. It will be a valuable reference for production engineers, designers and researchers using or studying microjoining technologies in such industries as microelectronics and biomedical engineering.

Following discussion by, and consensus of Moderators and Administrators of this forum, we have chosen to discontinue site status checks effective May 21, 2005 ... There were a number of factors involved in making this decision, but probably the biggest was that these requests were always beyond the mission of this forum. The original mandate of this forum was to put a better light on the ODP by allowing the public to interact directly with the editors. At some point the submission status requests seem to have taken over and almost become the focus."
[Excerpts from: Resource Zone]
DMOZ - Discontinuation of Site Status

At some point the submission status requests seem to have taken over and almost become the focus.
I would say that might be a little bit of an understatement.
The Site Submission Status forum was definitely the most popular public forum at Resource Zone.
Site Submission Status Forum (numbers current at time of this post):
Threads: 20,131
Posts: 100,137
Rest of Forum:
Threads: 9,904
Posts: 69,936
I think that it bears keeping in mind that the Resource Zone wasn't an official part of DMOZ, but was rather an effort by a number of editors to do something positive and open communication to people who aren't editors. All of the folks involved should be applauded for that attempt.
I do think that forum served a useful and helpful purpose, but it's understandable why they might have wanted to stop. I do think that it's a little sad that some of that communication is ending.
I did do a little looking back at the origin of DMOZ after reading this thread. The original GnuHoo started as a response to Yahoo!, and the difficulties people had in getting listed there.
Here are a couple of articles that I hadn't seen about DMOZ before that I thought were pretty informative about the directory.
Chris Sherman's Humans Do It Better: Inside the Open Directory Project
A Salon Article - Google: Were Down with ODP
The wikipedia entry on DMOZ is also interesting, though possibly controversial to some: http://en.wikipedia....rectory_Project
Somehow, I think the Open Directory lost something important with this decision. But, if the numbers I quoted above are right, the editors who were handling all of those Site Submission Checks are going to have a lot more time to edit sites. Good luck guys.

Agreed. Google doesn't suggest that site owners check directly with Google programmers to see if or when specific sites will be cached or PR-ed or otherwise assessed. Why should DMOZ editors be any different? Webmasters should make web pages. DMOZ should do the stuff of DMOZ. Google is a search engine, not a public relations engine for web sites. I am all for being open, but there comes a time when too much leads to easy fingerpointing (eg I can't get anywhere because Google or DMOZ did/didn't do thus and so) or other crapola like strategic spammy SEO.
In my view, they never should have put it there in the first place. You can never get an answer except "The submission has been received and is awaiting review in _________. If you don't see it listed sometime in the next six months, please feel free to return for a status update on or after 24 December."
Posted 21 May 2005 - 02:55 AM
The Site Submission Status threads were not particularly useful to anybody and, quite frankly, stopped being fun for the handful of editors still prepared to volunteer there.
Posted 21 May 2005 - 01:47 PM
That also seems to be one of the reason why they discontinued the service.
... they never should have put it there in the first place. You can never get an answer except "The submission has been received and is awaiting review in _________ ..
Our feedback indicates that the information we are giving out really is not a practical help in the vast majority of cases. People want information we either simply do not have or cannot for confidentiality reasons give out ... the existence of the status check forum raises unrealistic expectations, leading to more frustration but no satisfaction, for anyone.

In striking contrast, ODP now has approximately one million unreviewed site submissions, in large part due to spam and incorrectly submitted sites, making the average processing time for a site properly submitted to ODP approximately six months. Moreover, because of concerns about abusive e-mail, ODP's volunteer editors are discouraged from communicating with site submitters, leaving many submitters to wonder whether and when their site has been considered for inclusion in ODP. ODP editors have set up a public forum where queries about site submission status can be posted.
I submitted a site to DMOZ today. It was the first one in about two years. The page probably should make it into the directory. It has unique and original content, and fits well into the category I submitted. I read over the guidelines, and tried to make sure that I followed them.
Sure, I would love to have some way to check in three months or six months or whenever that it has been received, or that it was rejected. If it makes it, it makes it. If it was rejected because of punctuation, or something similarly inane, it's the Directory's loss.
Posted 22 May 2005 - 10:30 AM
I had made that suggestion in the resource-zone forum. One problem is the huge amount of manual and automated spam submissions they get. A status report tool could tell a spammer when the spam was detected possibly alerting them to whether it was detected manually or by by some scripts. I suggested introducing a random time delay greater than a year to offset such a situation. Now the status scripts starts getting complicated as it has to communicate with other scripts, store information etc.
If I can make a suggestion: why not have some automated feature? Type in your URL, and recieve a status report.
But there are other problems too. Basically the site status can only say - 'pending', 'accepted' or 'rejected'. And it can take several months to years where a site may be 'pending' before an editor reviews it. It really doesn't help much right?
One also tends to forget that owners of DMOZ are a corporation. But the DMOZ editors are volunteers, and some might lack an understanding of professional etiquette. And if such editors write anything in an 'emotional outburst', the parent company could get dragged into a potential lawsuit. Hence the idea of discouraging editors in not contacting submitters directly.
Anyway, I am not a DMOZ editor, so take all this with a pinch of salt.

Here's one thing you can try to learn when it is listed in the directory. Create the following Google alert:
Sure, I would love to have some way to check in three months or six months or whenever that it has been received ...
1. site:www.google.com/Top site url 2. site:dmoz.org site title and/or words from descriptions
For example, if you wanted to find out if your submitted site cre8asiteforums.com is listed you would create the search alert as:
1. site:www.google.com/Top cre8asiteforums.com
2. site:dmoz.org cre8asite
The Google directory doesn't update itself immediately with the DMOZ data. So you may want to search DMOZ too.
Unfortunately, DMOZ doesn't publish the site url so you have to guess the keywords that DMOZ editors will associate to your submitted site in the site title and site description. If you follow the guidelines, than most often than not your site title as keyword should work fine.

See, again, there has to bea better way. I know we have had this discussion numerous times, but surely there are better ways to manage submissions, sort queues and make editors lives easier!!!
One problem is the huge amount of manual and automated spam submissions they get
IMHO, if you get 10,000 questions asking the same thing, that is pointing out a flaw in the way you do things, and you need to look ata fix. Thousands of "site status" questions? Solve it automatically. Lots of automated spam etc? Look at ways to reduce it (like the images some sites have, or changing the location of the submission form weekely etc).
It would be excellent if the world was a better, nicer, friendlier, more professional place, but unfortunately it isn't, and some problems need solving even if we don't want to solve them!!!
Posted 22 May 2005 - 07:30 PM
Like the guy I caught that had 15 different sites for his products, and had actually managed to get one extra listing. Something like that can waste a couple of hours. And it takes a human editor to actually have the gut feel that something is wrong and decide to spend that time.
No automated system can catch all of this. There are tools in place to deal with some issues, but they are not for public discussion.
Sure occassionly someone submits 100 copies of the same site, but that's not the main problem.
Posted 22 May 2005 - 10:30 PM
Definitely. DMOZ can do a lot to become more transparent and user-friendly.
See, again, there has to bea better way ...
The thing is, we just don't have enough information to make a sound judgement on what would be a perfect solution.
If you look at the root of the problem - Why does DMOZ have such a long waiting period? - Resource-zone mentions that some categories have 10s of 1000's of listings that just don't have enough (or any) editors to review it. This, in my opinion, is the problem that needs to be solved first.
After all, what use is a status submission tool if a user keeps receiving the message 'pending' even after 12 months? He/she would still feel as frustrated. (This brings a completely different subject into the purview - perhaps the real problem are the people obsessing over a DMOZ listing. :)
Posted 23 May 2005 - 01:49 AM
So DMOZ choose to catch none?
No automated system can catch all of this
As an aside: when was the last time DMOZ made a change to the submission procedure? Find cat, click submit URL, add URL, write title, write description, add email address hit submit. Submission added to list of category submissions.
The Internet has moved and grown a lot in recent times, but DMOZ seems stuck in 1996, with a submission system that isn't up to the task. Sure, we could try to convince the thousands of website owners who believe DMOZ is vital, but that won't happen anytime soon.
I also believe that one should look after what one can control first, and then worry about the rest. It is usually quite shocking how much control one has when one thinks hard. DMOZ can create a "better" submission setup, better category management and better tools for submitters to automate a lot of the process. To do that, starting with all the types of automated spam that can be stopped, and working up can only lead to better results. Not perfect, but undoubtedly better.
The original submission setup surely isn't the best submission system imaginable. With 10 years of feedback and experience, DMOZ would have some insights on how to doing things better.
If you make an improvement managing and accepting submissions, that would make other problems, if not dissapear, then certainly less troublesome. So throw in better category management tools with better "bad submission" tools and, voila, better DMOZ, less waiting time in queues etc etc.
I guess I find the question "What can DMOZ change to make submission queues shorter and make editor's jobs easier" the best question to ask.
Posted 23 May 2005 - 03:21 AM
That will be in mid 2008 .
With 10 years of feedback and experience, DMOZ would have some insights on how to doing things better.
From the point of view of website owners hoping for their websites to be listed, it's a good question. However, it presupposes that ODP's mission is to reduce the number of listing suggestions awaiting processing (not in queues by the way but pools). That's not it at all; it's building a directory. I could go on ad nauseum about the difference but it's all been said often enough before so I won't.
I guess I find the question "What can DMOZ change to make submission queues shorter and make editor's jobs easier" the best question to ask.
Oh, and a good few of the volunteers are talented programmers; editorside tools and facilities are improving all the time.
Posted 23 May 2005 - 11:00 AM
Really? So the lage pools aren't a problem for editors? Funny, I was always informed they were. Have I been misinformed?
From the point of view of website owners hoping for their websites to be listed, it's a good question. However...
(aside: I agree, pool is a much better word. Queue implies some specific order (I am in the queue for Pearl Jam Tickets), where as "pool" doesn't. As the DMOZ submissions lists can be, and are, sorted in numerous ways, and there is no obligation on an editor to list sites in any order, pool is a much better description. Now to get everyone to change their langauage )
Isn't managing the pools part of "building a directory"? Surely there is something that can be done to improve this with, OK not 10 years, but 7 years worth of experience.
That's not it at all; it's building a directory.
Hmmm. I really am confused. What is the issue with large DMOZ pools and delays? If they aren't part of the problem, what are the problems? Can you perhaps tell me, what yo believe are the biggest issues confronting DMOZ?
While new tools have been added, and some are excellent, the core focus of DMOZ, as you point out, is "building a directory". Submissions and pool management are the central to this core focus; it is number one above all else.
Everything else, even good things like forums and other tools, are secondary to getting quality submissions made, and then approved lickety spit. And not for webmasters, but to fulfill the goals DMOZ has.
On this front, IMHO, there has been very little movement in terms of the UI, the available tools or the pre-screening of submissions before they get to editors.
Hehe. I, too, could go on about how to improve DMOZ, but it has all already been said (and, of course, you already read that thread, and, I might add, provided some very useful comments).
I could go on ad nauseum about the difference but it's all been said often enough before so I won't.
I guess we will just have to let this topic die, as discussing DMOZ, even in the grown up, productive, professional manner this forum prides itself on, so often seems to cause heartache and actually cause more problems than it solves.

I see DMOZ as a big society with its own natural way of working. It's a bit like Orkut. I see both are there "doing their thing", but it rarely impacts on my life. In both cases, there appears to be no management and the operative goals that really drive both organizations are somewhat unclear. Both will evolve naturally and perhaps I will get involved in a small corner of each at some point in time ... or not. The fact that DMOZ has decided to Discontinue Site Status information would seem to give a negative signal about the long term survival of the organization in its present format. It's sad but it was all probably an impossible dream.

I very much disagree that it's a negative signal about ODP.
Note that resource-zone is a volunteer effort of people who are ODP editors, but it's not run by ODP or set up by ODP. One editor has donated the bandwidth, another bought the domain, and others have paid $ for the license for the forum software (me being one of the buyers).
The RZ volunteers thought that their efforts would provide a straightforward way to state ODP's version of what is done and why while simultaneously letting people check on simple facts about their submissions. Instead it became a flash point when people didn't get their way or didn't understand or care about ODP's way or wanted to argue about decisions made regarding their site(s). I applaud the RZ administrators for killing off that part of the forum. Its usefulness was dwarfed by the endless mounds of requests and the occasional highly acrimonious thread that violated the RZ TOS and should have been nuked after Post 1.

I consider it to have been an effort worth applauding. I wish that it had worked better. But, it does seem like something that the directory itself should have been doing, and not a group of volunteers acting outside of the organization itself.
There have been a couple of nice suggestions made elsewhere that might have improved the utility of that forum section. One was pre-moderation of those posts and providing simple answers such as: pending review, moved to a different category for review or rejected, and locking the thread with a note that no status checks for that site should be made any earlier than three months later. Don't know if it would have been worth trying, but killing the possiblity of argument might have made providing status checks more palatable. But, it does seem like that forum did take away from possible positive uses of the forum. And the folks who run that forum should be the ones making decisions about how they spend their time and energy.
Danny Sullivan's blog post on the subject was interesting:
ODP Forum Closes Status Check Service; Time For The ODP To Close?
Honestly, if I had any say in the matter, once the amount of unreviewed sites hit about a million or so, I probably would have turned off site submissions for a while. If this item from the Ten Tips list in the DMOZ Documentation Project is being treated like it isn't a good idea, or has just become impossible:
1. If you have no unreviewed sites to edit, search for them yourself and then add them directly to your category.
then maybe it's time to turn those submissions off, let editors add whatever they think makes the directory better, and give some of those editors with programming skills the chance to show them off and build some better filtering and reporting tools. Automation can't replace good common sense. But it can often make the job easier.
Posted 24 May 2005 - 01:32 AM
I bet, amongst all those talented programmers, at least a few could think of ways to improve the currently rather basic site submission issue.
Posted 24 May 2005 - 09:57 PM
www.whois.sc/dmoz/{YOURDOMAIN} shows all the listings for a domain, e.g. http://www.whois.sc/...asiteforums.com or http://www.whois.sc/...ighrankings.com as an example of multiple listings.
Pretty handy little tool, really!!!
Posted 26 May 2005 - 07:53 PM
<? $email = "email@example.com"; if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])){ if( eregi("dmoz", $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) { mail($email, "DMOZ Alert", "DMOZ has just visited your homepage"); } } ?>
Tho the Netscape directory sometimes triggers this as it uses the text 'dmoz' in its referring url with some query's.
or you can simply keep an eye on your server logs
Of course this assumes most DMOZ editors take the path of least resistance when reviewing sites and click on the direct link...
Posted 08 June 2005 - 06:57 PM
For the first time, it appeared as though an interface was available for legitimate enquiries into submission status.
I did what I was told in November 2004 and recorded the link and the Directory URL and the date and came back 6 months later. When I re-enquired, my post was deleted by a Moderator. Apparently, after following the instructions to the letter by a moderator, and waiting 6 months, nothing has happened.
I dont know whether anyone else has experienced it, but I always go away from DMOZ shaking my head that the editors would spend such a large amount of time explaining why they cant do anything.
They could have actually submitted my site in 10% of the time to explain why they could not submit it, why I cant review it anymore, why my request did not match the submission guidelines in the forum, who there customer is (the searcher, not the webmaster).
The problem with people who work for free is you cant ask them to do anything.
Posted 08 June 2005 - 09:23 PM
Also there was a policy to not jump to review sites that were asked about in RZ, so that no one would ever get the idea that posting there sped up a listing.
Your site is safely in there waiting for review.
Posted 08 June 2005 - 10:11 PM
Despite our grievances, I am sure DMOZ Editors do a good job.
The interface between web designers and DMOZ editors does not really help their public image much, thats all.
They need a PR makeover.

They do too! Or they wouldn't edit.
I am sure DMOZ Editors do a good job.
One reason the status checks were cut out. Too many people throwing abuse around who don't understand the concept of a volunteer project as opposed to a commercial listing service. Editors, when provoked, are human and will naturally respond despite knowing it is futile most times.

That is one thing most editors are not interested in. It ain't a business and ain't out there to attract webmaster "customers". In terms of PR what editors are interested in is promoting the results of their labors to the users of the data. In that respect DMOZ receives no complaints so the PR is pretty good!

I spent about three hours the other night digging through the regional results for Delaware. I went through a lot of categories, and looked at a lot of links. Either there just aren't a lot of web sites in Delaware, or there just isn't a lot of inspiration to capture and collect those. It might be the second. I'm not sure if I remember seeing a single category for the State that had an editor. I was trying to find some good links for a Delaware oriented blog.
What can be done to attract editors to those categories? I don't see anything anywhere to inspire anyone to join in, and add to those categories. I don't see a sense of excitedness in too many places, where people might be inspired.
I'd rather this thread didn't devolve into an us versus them, editors-don't-owe-webmasters-nothing, kind of discussion. Honestly, it's been done so much that it doesn't really help anyone.
I don't know if any will take me up on this, but if there are any editors out there who are willing to step up, please, tell us what inspired you to become an editor of the DMOZ. Maybe you will inspire some other folks to apply. And, maybe the DMOZ needs some of that kind of PR.

This very statement is what caused me to apply to become an editor. In Regional the excitement usually comes from someone who does have a strong interest in a particular area.
When I searched in my hometown, I knew of many sites from my local area which were not listed. I really had no desire to become an editor in the beginning. But I did have the desire to see my hometown built up in the directory. So I spent many hours over several days studying the guidelines, and finally decided to apply. I really had my doubts about being accepted. I was convinced that it was a long shot to say the least. But to my utter shock and amazement I was accepted very quickly.
I have seen so many people post about how hard becoming an editor is, and that if dmoz really wanted editors they would lower the standards. Well I am proof it does not take a rocket scientist to become an editor. All it really takes is an interest in the area applying, and the ability to follow instructions. How hard is that? Go for it!

I started in exactly the same way as editor for my home town, Gloucester.
Posted 11 June 2005 - 09:29 AM
I applied for it shortly afterwards and grew it to around 30 listings in a week by asking around, reading truck logos and knocking on the door of every business I could find there. (It's now got over 50).
I was hooked by the work and the pleasure of operating in a very supportive and confidence inspiring team. Nearly 4 years on, I still am .[list]It's the best hobby I've ever had .

Jim, I agree on these requirements to become an editor. However, based on my reading of the forums, I would say these requirements were added well after a lot of editors were enshrined into the DMOZ fraternity and social club. From what I have read in the DMOZ forums, a number of them can't spell, can't proofread, and can't communicate. I see pages and pages of nothing being said. Editors seem to have a lot of time to spend writing chapters in the forums.
# Communications skills in the language of the category (both reading and writing)
# Attention to detail
As far as the Site Status discontinuation goes, as long as people can't figure out where they're at with site submissions, they'll keep on submitting over and over. The problem with the Site Status forum was obvious. The solution was quite simple.
For example: :"I submitted my site last week. What's the status"
Reply: DELETE
Obviously, submission guidelines were not read. In dealing with the spammers and idiots, the greater harm is usually to those who observe the rules and adhere to the guidelines.
I have now noticed that the secret OZ society has resorted to censoring opinions in the OZ Forums.
When did ODP become this secret land of OZ ruled by cowardly lions and brainless scarecrows.
Posted 12 June 2005 - 04:49 PM
I've just read your deleted RZ post of earlier today (I'm on UK time). Whichever meta editor decided it was inappropriate was merely following your advice.
I have now noticed that the secret OZ society has resorted to censoring opinions in the OZ Forums.
Frankly, I'm surprised you weren't banned.
Reply: DELETE
I don't know if you've counted the dwindling number of ODP editors still prepared to volunteer to help others in RZ, but you'll find that it's a miniscule proportion of the around 10,000 active ones.
Today, in addition to bandying words in various internal and external fora, I've listed some 35 websites, amended about the same number, joined two new editors and provided extensive guidance to two others. In the process, I've had fun and achieved some satisfaction.
Apart from the rants in RZ and here, what did you contribute to the net community today?

This wonderful farmhouse is located in a village of Tuscany, where the ancient medieval atmosphere is still present, the streets and the walls are still in stone and it seems that time has stopped. This unique farm has been converted from an old mill dating from the second half of the seventeenth century, one of the last in Italy of this period. The atmosphere that surrounds the rooms is well restored, referring to ancient times. The part where the business accommodation is carried out is composed of five apartments perfectly restored in Tuscan style, a large basement used as a wine tasting area and own production of olive oil. The property is along the Rio Magno stream, at the center of a large garden is a large pool where shady verandas allow you to relax at any time. The total area of this property is approximately 1,500 square meters of which 800 square meters are the mill partially restored and another annex to be refurbished. The 5 apartments, all with kitchen and private bathroom, have a total of 19 beds.

Emily VanCamp: Ravishing on the "Revenge" Set
Filming scenes for her hit TV show, Emily VanCamp was on the "Revenge" set in Los Angeles on Wednesday (November 7).
The 26-year-old cutie relaxed in a loose-fitting red sundress and nude Christian Louboutin heels while her hair was retouched between takes.
As to the popularity of the drama, VanCamp said, "I think revenge is a universal theme. It's fun to delve into the lives of the rich and beautiful people of the Hamptons. The economy is in such a bad shape that people are looking for an escape - and Revenge can provide that escape. It all came together with perfect timing for us. The show has really caught on."
Fans can catch a new episode of "Revenge" titled Penance on Sunday, November 11 at 9/8 central on ABC.
