Liquid Rubber, Tank Waterproofing June 3 2015
Article: Liquid Rubber - Tank Waterproofing. Killam, Alberta. Oil and Gas. Industrial.
Liquid rubber is a product that we use extensively on commercial and industrial metal roof systems and gutters to waterproof them from rain and ice damming.
Liquid rubber can also be used to waterproof foundations, canals, ponds, tanks, RV's, gutters, pipelines, park structures and has numerous other residential, commercial and industrial applications. Mining, oil and gas, marine and agricultural applications are numerous.
There are various grades of liquid rubber and it can be rolled, brushed or sprayed on.
This field report is from our liquid rubber crew that were waterproofing tanks at an oil and gas facility in Alberta.
For more information visit our main web site page on liquid rubber.May 11, 2015: Liquid Rubber Waterproofing Crew Attends to Site. 930 am arrive on site. We started on tank one. One part of the crew started shoveling out the sand which was 2 feet deep in spots and preparing the tank and outer ring for rubber. Once they had the sand shoveled back and the entire outer ring exposed we the then cleaned it with wire brushes and cleaner - this process took the crew until 3 pm. At 3 pm we started to lay in the scrim sheet and apply liquid rubber to the tank and outer ring. This process took the crew to 5:30 pm. The other portion of the crew did the inside portion of the tank - the containment section of the tank. We had to clean all the dirt up and then began scrubbing the floors and around the penetrations and perimeter. This portion of the work was done at 130 pm. Once the containment area was clean we applied seam tape along the perimeter and around all penetrations. We also had to seal off the two corners using scrim sheet and liquid rubber. After that was done we used 3 ft x 1.5 ft strips of scrim sheet to seal the tank to the concrete floor. We then coated the entire floor and applied the coating up the walls one foot. This portion of the work scope was done at 430 pm. We then helped the other part of our crew finish the outer section of the tank The site is now 50% complete and will be finished tomorrow. Man hours on cleaning and prep scope so far is 19 man hours. Man hours logged on site in total today - 46 man hours with drive time Material used 2 pails of Liquid Rubber. 1/2 roll of 3 feet mesh. 1 box of rags. 1 gallon of cleaner. 4 brushes.
May 12, 2015: Crew attends for second day of work on site.
8 am arrive on site.We started with prepping the outer portion of the tank and ring by cleaning the tank with cleaner and outer ring as well. There wasn't extensive prep time for this - it looked like someone did half of it for us (the cleaning wasn't in our original scope so our client likely had staff attend to this). After it was all prepped the crew sealed the tank to the outer ring with scrim sheet and then coated it with liquid rubber.
We then focused on the inner part of the tank and containment enclosure. We vacuumed the dirt and scrubbed the floor and tank. After that we used 6 inch and four inch seam tape to seal in all the penetrations and perimeter of enclosure (which isn't easy - it's really tight quarters).
After the seam tape was done we then vacuumed again. Once the area was clean we used scrimmage sheets to seal the tank to the concrete foundation essentially creating a tub. We then coated everything with brush. The customer very satisfied with finally having a solution and our work.
3rd tank. At first our customer put the 3rd tank off and said they weren't doing it, but now they want it done and they estimate that it will be ready for next Thursday.
Total man hours for prep and cleaning was 31 hours.
Total hours spent on site including drive time 78 hours.
Material used today. 3 pails of LR 1 roll of scrim sheet 3 feet long. 1 roll of 6 inch scrim sheet. 1 roll of 6 inch seam tape. 1 roll of 4 inch seam tape. 1 box of rags. 2 gallon of splice wash. 8 paint brushes.
May 22, 2015: Crew Re-attends for Scope of Work on Tank 3.Scope of work for third tank:
- Clean tank and outer ring to white glove state apply LR and mesh to seal tank to outer ring.
- Inner containment area. Clean tank and floor seal the floor to tank and up wall of containment area
6:30 am left Edmonton. 9 am arrive on site. We started the first part of the crew on the inner containment area. We started by cleaning the area with splice wash. Once it was clean we then used seam tape to seal in the perimeter and used mesh to seal in tank to the concrete footing. Once that was complete we then coated it with Liquid Rubber.
The second part of the crew then focused on the the outer tank and ring. We cleaned it and shoveled out some dirt in areas to make it level. We then used 3 foot pieces of mesh to seal the outer ring to the tank. As we were applying our Liquid Rubber at 2:30 the other part of the crew came to help us out and finish this tank. It was 2 x the size of the other tanks so the outer portion took a bit longer.Other Photos:

Optimal State-Feedback and Output-Feedback Controllers for the Wheeled Inverted Pendulum System
Katariya, Ashish Santosh
MetadataShow full item record
Vehicles characterized as wheeled inverted pendulums have received recent attention in the robotics community. This thesis illustrates the process of designing optimal state-feedback and output-feedback controllers for the wheeled inverted pendulum system. However, since the wheeled inverted pendulum is a complex system to analyze, the cart-stick system is analyzed first. The cart-stick system is a simpler representation of the wheeled inverted pendulum system. The first step in designing a control system for any dynamic system is to derive the equations of motion or the dynamic model of the system. The exact same methodology of dynamic modeling and control system design is followed for the cart-stick system and the wheeled inverted pendulum system. The dynamic modeling includes deriving the equations of motion using the Newtonian and Lagrangian methods, assigning appropriate state-space variables, determining the non-linear state-space model, and deriving the approximate linear model of the non-linear state-space model. The control system design includes the determination of controllability and observability, state-feedback design and output-feedback design. The optimal gain matrix for state-feedback design is determined using the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) technique; whereas the optimal gain matrices for output-feedback design are determined using Loop Transfer Recovery (LTR). The results of the state-feedback and output-feedback designs are compared in the conclusions of the thesis. It is found that though output-feedback designs using an estimator hamper the performance of a system, it is necessary to consider and prototype output-feedback control systems because all state variables are almost never available for full-state feedback.

Apple Bobbing - the perfect game for a summer's afternoon but best played in the garden.
Form a line, one standing behind the other.
The first person in the line is the leader and starts walking. After about five paces the next person starts walking, then the next and so on.
If the leader decides to start marching or striding slowly or walking with their hands up in the air or out to the side, then the next person in line should do the same, all the way back to the last.
Other things to try as the leader are hopping, wiggling your bottom, clapping, jumping or striding. You could even think of a song to sing that everyone else can follow.
Change what you do every twenty paces to keep it interesting and when the leader has had enough the next person in the line can take over and the leader goes to the back.

AUSTIN – The rise of the multi-service, multi-cloud provider is upon us. While there will always be companies that focus on a single core competency such as colo or managed services, the world is demanding a mix of services. Providers need to enable everything from physical space to virtual machines, be it through partnerships, ecosystems, or providing it directly.
That's why service providers up and down the stack have been expanding their data center offerings. Companies like Onramp have moved beyond colo and managed services and begun offering cloud. VAZATA, which started off as a managed hosting provider, bought its way into the colocation business. The larger data center services players like Telx are remaining cloud-neutral, focusing on building ecosystems of cloud providers that customers can leverage.
What's happening with services is now happening with cloud. Companies like Peer 1 Hosting are recognizing that there's a distinct, middle ground between public and private; an offering that incorporates the security of a private cloud and the flexibility of a public cloud. The company dubs this "Mission Critical Cloud." Peer 1's Mission Critical Cloud shows the company has hit a vein: it took Mission Critical cloud less than three months to hit the revenue its public cloud did in nine months.
The industry is evolving, and a number of companies commented on how this is changing their businesses at the HostingCon conference last week in Austin, both through panels and individual interviews.
Is Colo Evolving?
VAZATA's Lance Black hits the nail on the head. "Customers want to take advantage of economies of scale," said Black. "There will always be big colo, while smaller and mid-sized companies will offer a higher level of high touch, managed services and virtualization."
At a time where many are converging into the cloud world, VAZATA has moved into colo, realizing that customers are demanding a mix of services. The statement that there will always be big colo is applicable to Telx, which has chosen to forego offering its own cloud. There are several reasons for this. Offering its own cloud would put Telx in competition with its customers. It's about offering a range of services, and Telx enables this through pointing customers to other customers and connecting them. "Half of CIOs said they would not rearchitect their apps for cloud," said Telx's John Freimuth. "Enterprise IT is adopting colo. We need to build a virtual exchange where customers can get these services from a number of providers."
For providers like OnRamp, "the key message is options," said Chad Kissinger, the company's founder. "Certain segments are choosing to forego colo and go a different route." Several companies throughout the HostingCon event mentioned that customer deployments are becoming more complex, and providers must adapt to meet this challenge.
Evolving Isn't Easy
"Colo and cloud involves two completely different sets of people," said Black from VAZATA. "A colo salesperson is a real estate sales person. In the world of cloud, it's more of an IT guru – an architect." In addition to having the technology, there are personnel considerations. While there are an increasing number of multi-service providers, there's no denying that accomplishing this involves a slew of different personnel resources that a company might not have. Cloud specialists are in short supply and demanding a lot more money. Tierpoint's first colo deal was in 2010, and in less than three years it has a growing cloud business. "Now we have a couple million in cloud revenue," said Tierpoint's Andy Stewart. "The biggest change is the people needed to sell and deploy cloud."
John Freimuth of Telx also discussed the very different business models, including the advantages of a pure real estate play through REIT status. "REITs have access to higher rates of capital at lower interest rates," said Freimuth. "We'll always need data centers." For some of the big builders like Digital Realty Trust, going cloud doesn't make any sense because of their scale and business model. The big players will make sure to remain neutral when it comes to cloud, focusing our building up rich customer ecosystems to attract more customers, rather than competing and potentially angering existing customers.

Updated: 8:23 AM- BEIJING - The e-mail arrived in the morning, from the coach's wife whose father was killed and mother seriously injured in the savage stabbing attack that shocked the players and threatened to derail their medal drive before it even began.
It said she was proud of them.
Hours later, her husband and several of his former Brigham Young players were giving Elisabeth "Wiz" McCutcheon and her family another reason to be proud Friday - dramatically leading the U.S. men's volleyball team into the gold-medal match at the Beijing Olympics, just one day after former Highland High School star Logan Tom did the same with the women.
"To be realizing that goal, and certainly under the various circumstances that we've dealt with throughout this tournament, it feels phenomenal," former Cougar Rich Lambourne said.
Indeed, the Americans whose Olympics began in such deep despair have worked through the cloud of tragedy to arrive at the precipice of triumph, one thrilling victory at the time.
Both the men and the women are one win away from the first gold medal by either of them since the 1988 Seoul Games - both teams will play Brazil, the women on Saturday and the men Sunday -- and they could complete an historic sweep, with their compatriots having already swept the golds on the beach.
"We've got so much motivation," setter Lloy Ball said. "We've got motivation coming out of our ears."
Not only are the men playing for coach Hugh McCutcheon and his grieving family, but they're playing for the veterans on the team - including four-time Olympian Ball and former Cougar player and coach Ryan Millar - who have endured some lean years since the program's zenith in the 1980s.
Just like Tom, Millar is playing his third Olympics, still waiting to have his first medal draped around his neck.
"We've been around so long, we've seen everything," Millar said.
"We've seen not getting out of the pool to getting out of our pool, barely getting past the quarters and losing in the bronze-medal match, now going to the gold-medal match. So we have quite the array of experience on this team."
That was a big help in their pulsating, slam-for-slam 25-22, 25-21, 25-27, 22-25, 15-13 semifinal victory over Russia at the Capital Gymnasium on Friday, when the Russians came roaring back after losing the first two sets.
But with the deciding set tied at 13-13, it was Olympic rookie David Lee who came up with the biggest plays, slamming home a monster kill and then blocking a savage shot by Russian Maxim Mikhaylov - he had blasted 28 kills by then - to send the Americans into a joyous celebration while several of the Russian players fell to their knees and collapsed on the floor.
"It was just two teams giving everything they had, and luckily enough, we pulled it out in the end," Millar said. "It easily could have went either way. ... That fifth set was amazing, because it was just so back-and-forth, back-and-forth. Nobody really got a big lead at all, and we have confidence that we have the players that can make some key plays at the end, and that's kind of what happened."
It was the 10th straight victory for the Americans, who had to rally in the quarterfinals to beat Serbia.
Now, they're hoping to rally and finish a job that almost didn't get started.
"This team represents what's good about team sports," coach McCutcheon said. "By that I mean, the sum of our parts is much greater than the individual aspects of this team. ... They want to be part of something bigger than themselves, and volleyball is the mechanism they've chosen to do that, and this team is doing it the right way."

Current real estate market is nothing to cry about
A couple of commentaries published recently have pretty much articulated my feelings on the current mortgage debacle, real estate market crash, housing bubble burst – whatever you want to call it.
Orlando Sentinel columnist Beth Kassab said this about the mortgage crisis and resulting foreclosure rate: "In the end, the problem is the result of consumers shrugging off responsibility for themselves. …if you signed the loan, you agreed to the terms." Click to read the full text of "Housing mess: Many buyers didn't beware."
In "Don't Cry Over Burst Bubble," syndicated columnist Stephen Chapman writes: "The boom in prices has long been disconnected from the actual utility of a single-family dwelling, and it's satisfying to see reality assert itself for a change." Later in the same piece, he notes, "Of course, speculators who sunk money into second homes and investment properties, figuring they could flip them in a year or two for a handsome profit, will also get the short end of the stick."
At Wealth Intelligence Academy, we teach you to understand market appreciation—but not to depend on it for your profits. Sound real estate investing strategies depend on much more than the luck of a good market.

Circle of Hope in Parliament House
In mid-November we held our Circle of Hope advocacy event in Parliament House Canberra in conjunction with Transplant Australia. A number of politicians, members of the pharmaceutical industry and others who are involved in the field of Indigenous health attended the breakfast and listened to speeches by Transplant Australia's Chair Alan Amodeo, Malpa Director Don Palmer, the Hon. Catherine King MP, Parliamentary Secretary for Health and Ageing and Bamaga woman Bethel O'Keefe from the Kidney Support Network. The event was hosted by Transplant Australia CEO, Chris Thomas.
This event was a fantastic way to demonstrate the severe problems faced by Indigenous Australians across Australia in the area of health, particularly kidney health and organ and tissue donation and transplantation, as well as offering some simple solutions.
We were very priveleged to have in attendance, not only Bethel, but also Gregory Williams Tjapangardi and Maureen Walker Nakamrra, artists from Central Australia who were painting a canvas at the event. Gregory, Maureen and Bethel all did a fantastic job in sharing their stories of kidney failure, both personally and in their commuities and it was truly fantastic to have them there. On top of that, most of the attendees signed the artwork painted by Gregory and Maureen on the day in an act of support for the improvement of kidney health and transplantation in Indigenous communities across Australia.
We would like to thank the volunteers who came down to Canberra for the event and without whom we could not have had such a successful event. We would also like to thank Bethel, Gregory and Maureen for travelling all the way to Canberra and sharing their powerful stories.
Finally we would like to express our appreciation towards Transplant Australia for being our partner in this event. All the staff in the office worked extremely hard on the event and did a fantastic job!

THE scientists gazed in disbelief at the ramshackle pile of bark and branches that passed for a tiny cabin.
A low door creaked open and an old man, well into his 80s, emerged slowly into the daylight like a character from a fairy tale.
Barefoot, filthy and with matted hair and beard he was wearing trousers and a shirt made from patches of sacking.
Behind him in the dark hovel huddled Russian Karp Lykov's four grown-up children. They were the family that time forgot.
It was 1978 and a team of geologists had made their way deep into the pine forest of the Siberian taiga.
They were 155 miles from any human settlement and 6,000ft up a mountain in last great wilderness on Earth, where only bears, wolves and the hardiest beasts could survive the bitter climate – or so they thought.
In fact, the Lykov family – except for Karp's wife Akulina, who sadly died in 1961 – had survived freezing temperatures and near starvation for more than 40 years, even eating their shoe leather in the harshest winter.
Cut off from all human contact they were completely unaware of Second World War, the moon landings, TV and modern medicine.
Geologist Galina Pismenskaya, who had been prospecting for iron ore, recalled the moment she found the family.
She said: "He looked frightened and was very attentive.
"We had to say something, so I began: 'Greetings, grandfather! We've come to visit!'
" The old man did not reply immediately but finally we heard a soft, uncertain voice: 'Well, since you have travelled this far, you might as well come in.'"
The family's discovery fascinated the Russian public in the early 1980s after journalist Vasily Peskov befriended them and told their story.
But after avoiding human contact for four decades, the Lykovs fell victim to the intrusion by the modern world and, tragically, within three years three of them had died.
Now their story has been revealed anew by the magazine published by America's Smithsonian Museum.
The Lykovs were members of a Russian orthodox religious sect called the Old Believers, who had fled to Siberia following the Russian revolution.
Under Stalin things got worse and in 1936, after Communists shot his younger brother, Karp Lykov took flight to the forest with his wife Akulina, their son Savin, nine, and daughter Natalia, two.
Bringing few possessions, they retreated ever deeper into the taiga, building themselves a series of crude dwellings.
Two more children were born in the wild — Dmitry in 1940 and Agafia in 1943.
Akulina had an ancient family bible to teach them to read and write, using sharpened birch sticks dipped in honeysuckle juice as pen and ink.
The children knew there were places called cities and countries other than Russia but couldn't really comprehend the outside world.
The harshness of their own lives was incredible.
It was not until the late 1950s, when Dmitry turned 18, that they first trapped animals for their meat and skins.
Lacking guns or bows, they chased prey until the animals collapsed from exhaustion.
Dmitry became so tough he could hunt barefoot in winter. But meat was rare and they relied on their meagre crops.
In 1961 it snowed in June, killing everything in their garden.
Akulina stopped eating so her children could feed and eventually starved to death.
The scientists slowly befriended the Lykovs and soon coaxed them into visiting their camp, where they discovered the "miracles" of modern life.
Reporter Vasily Peskov said: "What amazed Karp most of all was a transparent cellophane package.
"He said, 'Lord, what have they thought up – it is glass but it crumples!'"
But as the Lykovs re-established contact with the outside world they also sealed their own fates.
In the autumn of 1981, Savin and Natalia died of kidney failure but that may have been due to their harsh diet.
However Dmitry succumbed to pneumonia, developed from an infection he acquired from his new friends.
When the three Lykovs had been buried, the geologists tried to talk Karp and Agafia into leaving the forest but neither would hear of it.
Karp Lykov died in his sleep on February 16, 1988, 27 years to the day after his wife.
Agafia buried him on the mountain slopes with the help of the geologists, then headed back to her home, telling them God would provide.
Twenty-five years on, Agafia still lives alone in the Siberian taiga.
It is the only life she knows – and wants.

So When Do The Jobs Start?
After thirty months in office, president Obama is saying that he is focused on creating jobs in America. The odd thing about that is the fact that he's been saying that since he was on the campaign trail. So what's different now than three years ago?
The whole idea (according to Obama) of getting the debt ceiling raised was to stop the country from defaulting on it's loans as well as creating more jobs in this country. I find that hard to believe since one of the first things he did when he was sworn into office was to get an almost $1 trillion stimulus bill passed to do the same thing. Yes I know he tells us that the stimulus bill created or saved two million jobs. Analysts have looked into the facts of jobs created from the stimulus and it's way lower than what the Obama administration has been reporting.
As you can see the stimulus and anything else that the administration is doing hasn't created any jobs or even turn this economy around. It's been reported that economic growth in America for the first half of the year (2011) is a staggering less than 1%. So how is giving the federal government any more money going to help?
The federal Reserve is now thinking of what they can do to stimulate the economy and get the country back on it's feet. All I have to say about that is they are part of the reason why we're in this mess. Manipulating the currency and controlling inflation artificially for the last hundred years hasn't helped, so where should we think they'll do anything now in the best interest of America. Chairman Ben Bernanke has touch base on starting a third round of bond purchases. The federal Reserve can also cut the interest rate for banks that hold excessive reserves as well as pledging to hold its assets at a record high and interest rates at record lows for a longer period, Bernanke stated.
As a nation, the only way we can create jobs and to get the economy moving again is to stop Washington from continuing has they have for many years. We need to cut back on government spending. When I say cut spending, I don't mean cut Social Security or Medicare. Those programs are not the main problem. Yes they both have issues within the systems but reform is much different than cutting. Politicians are too concerned for their contributors as well as their own political careers. Doing the right thing in Washington would be political suicide. So if we want to save this country, we must remove each and every one of the politicians within the Beltway. Of course it will take years to do so since not all of them are up for re-election in 2012. If they've been in office for two terms, it's time for them to move out of the way and let someone else try something else, or at least improve some of the current policies. Once we get Congress and the president to stop their excessive spending and let the markets correct themselves, we will continue to be in the same position.

The playful shenanigans that you'd typically see pinkiepie get involved in are quite hysterical.
I believe the idea of using the cursor and white background showed good conveyance and was well articulated.
I do feel (though probably intentional) it felt allot like I was watching a "animation vs animator" skit but I haven't seen it done for pinkiepie which was pretty cool.
The exaggerated emotions that pinkiepie tends to have are captured quite well in this animation which adds to the impact quite significantly.
The attention to details you've shown were good too like the option drop-bar including discord, pegasus device, derpy ect.
The transitions were almost perfect in the animation. Even though some things felt a bit too instant. I also recognize that it would be that way in a "flash style" animation.
I wish it was longer only because of how much I enjoyed watching it, overall a fantastic animation.
Not to mention that it was absolutely adorable.
Thank you for taking your time!
anim vs anim was definetly something that came to mind throughout the progress ^^
I could not in my wildest dreams imagine that this would get so much attention, if so I would have totally made it a LOT longer.. maybe making a sequel could be a good idea..

I am a software junkie for keyword stuff and have tried quite a few cheap programs since Oct last year. I never owned Market Samurai, I bought it straight out, no trial, and they never sent a link to get it, or replied to a couple of emails from different addresses (in case of spam blocking on either end) so I had to ask for a refund.
I am not up for paying a monthly subscription, so right now I use Stealth Keyword Digger, the free Keyword Optimizer Pro and Keyword Researcher to find long tail keywords for me. I use all three because I know all three bring me different phrases and allow me to search a different way. One thing I constantly chuckle at is how much "weed" comes up in these, like "best toaster oven for drying weed".
This is not a simple step by step guide; it's roughly what I do. I may ramble or assume stuff, so ask if something is not clear.
How I started
I did start using Google keywords tool, then the first piece of software I bought as Stealth Keyword Competition Analyser. Not a scraper as such, but helped me narrow down what Google Adwords Keyword Tool gave me. I think it is an excellent tool for beginners and the perplexed. I have some very high traffic to Web 2.0 articles after 6 months, thanks to this program narrowing it down for me. You can use it to analyse competition on the output from Stealth Keyword Digger. It gives you a competition ranking for each kw as Amazing, Good, Fair, Bad, and Terrible. I only ever used the "Amazings"
I knew the AdWords tool was not ideal as it gave limited numbers of keywords that everyone else was getting too. So I was on the lookout for auto suggest keyword scraper programs by the New Year. The biggest dilemma using these kw scrapers is knowing how significant the returned results are. Has one person or a million people searched that phrase in Google, and when? There are thousands of phrases and keywords generated very quickly, so I learned to make sense of them and rule most out, with Google Adwords and Estimator and allintitle searches.
I have a few that have a handful of monthly searches in Google Adwords Estimator (sometimes less than 30!) with zero reported in AdWords, but I went ahead anyway, because I had the perfect Amazon items I wanted to sell. It was a definite risk and I think it is working.
I strongly suggest you watch any and all free instructional videos with these programs, and take notes if you have to. These people produce a good product and they know how to use it. Take in all that info, copy the methods if you want, or pick your favourite, or evolve your own based on what you learn and see with your own results as you go along too. You need to get the most out of the software as quickly as possible and have the purchases paid off quickly with your earnings.
Stealth Keyword Digger
The Stealth Keyword Digger is a program that can easily generate 2000-3000 keywords and phrases when left unattended. Which is great for the lazy among us! It is more hands off than the other two programs and does generate the lists which record the number of Google searches too. The longer and more specific your phrase the better, and for Amazon, I use US – English, at least 50 searches. Occasionally it goes off track, but the bulk of the results are good. E.g. Power drills gets you soccer drills, basketball drills etc.
Only downfall is I suspect from the hammering on Google's door, I can run a search once or twice every few days that's all, maybe 3-4 times a week max. I wish it was more often. It does occasionally want a Google captcha. I suspect a proxy IP address would help, and multiple Adwords accounts, but I can't be bothered figuring proxies out. I have enough keywords words to collect with the other two programs below as well.
If you have a netbook, forget this program, unless you want to cut and paste the results with the commas still in. I have done that, then "search and replace-d" the commas and search numbers in Excel and had to search the words again on Adwords for numbers, it;s more work but still less than doing it all by hand. The screen seems to be set a fixed size and the export button is off the screen with no scroll bar, so no way to export.
Keyword Optimizer Pro
This is a free program and is great. I got it by signing up on a waiting list for some Amasuite software, here's the free link. I think the entry fee is the banner ads up top for the odd WSOs and other products by Dave Guidon. This has an in depth 10 min + search or a quick "all through the alphabet" search that takes under minute. It is searching from your seed kw phrase for related auto suggest phrases for Google, Bing and Yahoo. I find the longer more specific the phrase to start, the better the results.
The beauty of this system is there is a ranking or point score for which records whether the phrase scraped is the ranked 1 to 10 of the drop down list, giving a relative measure of popularity or volume, but no actual search volume numbers. The accompanying videos are very helpful and help you see what to do. This is where I learned to use Google Adwords Estimator rather than the regular Keyword tool to look for numbers of search traffic. I find Adwords keyword tool gives a lower traffic figure than can be occurring. Some of this I know from looking at my own actual Squidoo analytics.
Keyword Researcher
Keyword researcher has a useful free version that does the first half of the alphabet, but I think is well worth the $29 or so for the regular version. It's a one-time fee, and personally I hate the idea of missing out that diamond of a keyword that was at the wrong end of the alphabet, like "Reviews" or "Sale, for the same amount of effort. I guess I am addicted to keyword research and love uncovering a hidden gem.
What this program allows you to do is use a wildcard or * to replace on or more words in a phrase, like "How to * Camera" might give "How to clean a Camera", "How to focus your Camera", "How to choose the best Camera". I think it's the best for long tail questions for blog posts or articles. I wish you could get another second wildcard word ending in there for the "Camera*" so it did Camera and Cameras and any others, as I find myself having to remember all the combos I put in. The master list you send the results to, allows easy removal of duplicates, so no big deal really.
What next?
When I get the list of keywords they all go into Excel and I delete the irrelevant ones and this takes some time. If I am selling online and people are looking for Lowe's and I do not want to do affiliate stuff with them, I filter, for contains "Lowe*" and delete what comes up. Pretty well any place names on buyer keywords get deleted too; people are looking for bricks and mortar in my opinion. Maybe not, but there are many better keywords out there for Internet affiliate sales.
What is left, you can use Adwords Keyword tool or Estimator to assess the number of monthly searches. Both have their limits as when logged in Estimator now wants [ ] brackets round the keyword for exact match now instead of just hitting a radio button. I got an Excel macro gig on Fiverr to fix that and add [ ] to everything in an excel file so I can paste them in. You can do about 2000 at a time when logged in. 90% or more will have no traffic. Keywords tool lets you have maybe 200 entries, so it takes forever if you need to do it in batches.
Assessing Competition
Competition analysis is simple. Either Stealth Competition Analyser or Allintitle: xxx in Google, the lower the better. I can't tell you numbers, it depends on the niche, how buyer oriented the keyword phrase, the number of monthly searches and how much linking you are willing to do etc. Start with something reasonable like 10,000 or below and then chart your results. If they are great, maybe you can go up. If they are horrible, choose kw with less all in title page competition.
There are other ways to asses and look at the top 10 on the SERPs but mine are very low numbers of search so I don't bother. If I decide to do more AdSense sites, I will need higher numbers and will assess the top 10 more regularly for Page rank, authority, links etc.
I hope that is clearer than mud. I think you either love keyword researching or you find it boring. It is easier to love it with the right tools that give you a fighting chance or finding something good that will make money for you. There are easier all-in-one keyword systems, but I like a challenge and figure very few people will find the same keywords this way.
I really should be more methodical, but I am not. That is too boring, so if am not liking the results from one program I will use another and combine them. I do this by pasting them all into Excel and using the remove duplicates. If I used similar seed phrases for all 3 programs, I usually have only 30% are duplicates out of about 3000 phrases, that's why I use them all!
Anyway ask any questions in the comments, I'll try and clarify or make it another whole post for another day, you know how I can run on a bit!

Maroon 5 Ensure iTunes Festival Performance Is Anything But 'One More Night'
REVIEW: Adam Levine brings the hits for night eleven of this year's incredible festival...
The 2014 iTunes Festival rolled on at Camden's Roundhouse last night (September 11) with American pop rockers Maroon 5 bringing a decades worth of hits to a captivated audience.
Feeling: The opening act, Matthew Koma got the crowd in the right mood by sparking an electrifying atmosphere with his opening number Wasted, then, as if almost to contain the crowd, eventually moved on to the somber and mellow Clarity, which had the whole crowd singing along to the chorus. A perfect way to make way for the headliners, Maroon 5; who were met with a roaring round of applause, as they hit the stage with an insane amount of energy.
The Look: Adam Levine embraced that typical rock-band-lead-singer look by pairing an oddly floral-printed short-sleeved shirt (obviously to show off his tattoos) with dark skinny jeans; not far from what we would have expected. Although it was surprising that despite the denim clinging onto his skin, he was still able to throw in a few amusing dance moves throughout his set.
Tunes: Maroon 5 didn't cease from keeping the crowd entertained. By fusing both their older and newer songs, the crowd was kept on their toes, hand-swaying to songs like She Will Be Loved and fist-pumping to songs like Moves Like Jagger the whole night. Adam Levine solidified his status as one of the best lead singers in a band, with his uniquely flawless falsetto-hitting voice; despite the beat variety in their set. Although, the crowd was evidently more intrigued with songs from their 2002 hit album Songs About Jane.
Banter: Although he's known more for his voice, Adam Levine displayed a bit of his personality while responding to some of the signs held up in the crowd. The most amusing was without a doubt: "Adam, can I lick you?" To which he replied, "First thing I'd say is, can you?... but my fiancée, I mean my wife… will kill you. But James (the guitarist) on the other hand won't mind being licked." James on the contrary, did not seem too amused by the offer, as he just smiled and stringed away.
Sweat Factor: With a face as perfect as Adam Levine's, it would be hard to notice any sweat on it; but he clearly was feeling the pressure. After singing the first few seconds of Moves Like Jagger, Levine stopped the band, claiming he was "physically incapable of singing right now", and needed 5 minutes (actually 30 seconds) to "get this heartbeat right". Don't worry; he assured us that it was not a heart attack. However, it seemed like nothing happened once he cruised back into the song with his incomprehensibly high jumps and his signature vocal scatting.
Summary: The night was brimming with exhilarating responses to an effortless performer, who can cue screams from the crowd merely by tapping on his mic or swinging it's stand! Seeing as he had some tea mid-performance, "out of respect" to London, we can say that this is definitely one of Maroon 5's best performances!

Cope's "The Giver," Review
I went to see, "The Giver" a second time with my daughter who is a "Tween" and read the book as it's required reading. I asked her if it was that different from the book. She said, "They changed everything!" But then I asked her how she liked it. She said she loved it. So we have to look at the film as loosely based on the novel, "The Giver." When I'm seeing the film for the second time, and not trying to compare it to the book, I thought it was a better movie than the first time I saw it. Some of the other kid's in the theater also said the same thing.
My problem is when the hero in the novel, who is 12 years old, gets aged up to 18 in the film just so you can add a love story element and then change the ending. Well, that does not serve the author Lois Lowry's intent at all. But if not trying to compare it, it's a good futuristic dystopian society flick. They seem to be in these days. But this is the most different from the book than any of the others. For instance, "Divergent" leaves things out that were in the book BUT doesn't take extreme liberties and add a bunch of stuff.
In this story sameness and lack of emotion rule. The town folk can see only in black and white (literally). The question the film asks, "Is life worth living without love?"
Who is "The Giver?" Besides just being actor Jeff Bridges. "The Giver," is the one person who holds all of the world's history, memories, feelings, emotions and love. As "The Giver" gets older they must find a replacement (The Receiver). Imagine a person, devoid of emotions and feelings, suddenly downloading all the memories associated with pain, loss, grief, joy and love all at one time. It would probably stop your heart. You would have to be a special person to do that. Performances are just okay for everyone. Yes, even Meryl Streep.
Cinematography is good and I liked the fact that Jeff Bridges bought the rights for this book two decades ago for his father, Lloyd, to play the lead that he now took over.
Another problem is that it is too long and too short (94 minutes) at the same time. How can that be? Because they didn't take enough time telling the back story and took too much time trying to get the point. " We think you'll get more out of it of you read the book first. Side note, Taylor Swift did a good job in her cameo appearance as The Receiver who failed. Director Phillip Noyce, has done better work in his previous films like "Salt," "The Patriot Games," "Dead Calm," and "The Bone Collector."
2.5 stars
Cayley, my Tween would rate it higher.

PARIS (Dec. 12)
Jews and Moslems have engaged during the last two days in severe fighting in the Casbah at Algiers, according to reports reaching here today despite the severe censorship imposed on Algerian dispatches.
Unconfirmed reports state that Moslem demonstrators clashed with Jews in the Casbah yesterday, and again today, sacking a number of Jewish homes and shops. The Casbah is inhabited both by Moslems and by large numbers of Jews.
The flag of the National Liberation Front, leading rebel organization, was raised over the ancient synagogue in the Casbah. A leader of the rebel demonstrators is reported to have charged that Jews fired on the rebels from the balconies and windows of their homes. These allegations are called by the Jewish leaders in Algiers "completely unfounded."
The fighting in Algiers the last two days came on the heels of other Moslem attacks against Jews in various towns in Algeria. In the capital, Algiers, many Jews are reported to have fled their homes and shops, abandoning all their belongings, and taking shelter in the center of the city where they sought the protection of French Government security forces.
At Constantine, yesterday, Arab rebels exploded a mine in the vicinity of the local synagogue. There were a number of casualties but the censorship has forbidden transmission of dispatches giving details as to the number of dead or killed and as to their identity.
In Oran, Moslem demonstrators desecrated the Jewish cemetery, overturning tombstones and inscribing anti-Jewish slogans on the walls surrounding the burial grounds.
One Algerian terrorist, who was convicted of tossing a hand grenade into a Jewish shop at Blida, was sentenced to death by a military tribunal at Algiers today. The man had thrown the grenade into the shop owned by M. Ben-Hamou at Blida. The military court gave the terrorist a speedy trial, obviously in an effort to help deter further anti-Jewish attacks.

The Art of River Rowing
Humberto Heyden Sensei expresses his views on a delicate subject, comparing sport and art (or "Do")
Many times I have heard that sports karate and Karate-do are not the same thing, whereas others express exactly the opposite. I would like to give my personal opinion on the subject.
Let us imagine two people that like to navigate on boats along the course of a river. Both have the same type of boat, the same general equipment and follow the same route for hundreds of kilometers, arriving at the same destination. They have done this for many years. Both love their activity, and based on this love, they have started to teach it to others, sharing this activity they so enjoy. But one of them has organized a tournament for a group of people. This tournament includes the same starting point and the same goal that the original journey. After this event, his activity has become very successful and now tournaments are organized every year and in different seasons. He has now become a very famous instructor and the amount of followers he now has is enormous. They all want to compete and be the one that arrives first to the goal.
The river is dangerous, these new generations of rowers have had to learn a series of techniques to prevail over the rest. These abilities require many years of intense training and hard work to master. It is said that this is actually a confrontation with yourself and that to master these techniques really only represents the mastery of man over himself. But the truth is still that the highest goal is to beat the other participants, to become the champion. The social acceptance that this brings is obvious, many see you win, you are known too. If this weren't the case, why do it then? What would the goal be then? And even so, there are many that think it is worthwhile anyway.
One is practical and utilitarian and it becomes an external way (road) that needs titles, certificates, trophies, medals, etc. The other is a way (road) that is non-utilitarian, affective, integrative, it is an internal way that points to the human sensibility and his capacity to find the most profound truths in that which is most simple.
But the original people were two. What about the other one?
The other person that liked to navigate along the river in a boat, still does so and because he loves this activity, he wants to share it with others. He has become an instructor. He teaches, exactly as the other instructor, all the secrets in the art of rowing down the river. He has taught how to enjoy the journey, to feel it, to love it, and all the technical secrets on how to do this with the least possible risks. But he does not teach to compete, not even indirectly. He only teaches how to row down the river along the hundreds of kilometers that the journey lasts. Just as his colleague, he knows all the secrets of the river and the art of navigating the river in a boat. But his objective is not the goal, his goal is not the goal. His goal is the journey itself and within this process his students have discovered a world inside themselves and in this world they have discovered those that surround them. They have learnt from themselves and from their friends, they have learnt about the flora (plants) and the fauna (animals), they have learnt to live a little more.
Now both of them are old and they continue to teach their many followers. They still use similar equipment, they use the same boats, the same oars and the same river. Many people, in the general public, think that they teach and practice the same thing. This opinion is based on the fact they use similar equipment and navigate the same river. But the truth is different, so different that there really doesn't exist any relationship between the two activities, they obey very different internal realities. One is practical and utilitarian and it becomes an external way that needs titles, certificates, trophies, medals, etc. The other is a way that is non-utilitarian, affective, unifying, it's an internal way that points at human sensibility and its ability to find the most profound truths in that which is most simple. They are diametrically opposed. The former developing materialism, fanfare, celebration, vanity and superficiality. The other is directed towards sensibility, towards internal retreat, towards harmony and integration with nature and, in some individuals, towards extasis, mysticism, God.
If somebody has the experience, how can they teach competition?

Beyoncé Rides Cyclone Roller Coaster at Coney Island While Shooting Music Video
Coney Island had a brush with superstardom when Beyoncé showed up Thursday afternoon.
The singer was apparently shooting footage at seaside amusement park for a upcoming music video, for an as-of-yet unnamed song, off an as-of-yet announced album. (Though, rumors claim the track is called "XO").
Wearing ripped jeans, a white tank with a black bra peeking through, and a Notorious B.I.G.-adorned snapback, Bey rode the iconic Cyclone roller coaster, throwing her hands in the air with her stylist Ty Hunter and a couple dozen extras.
Famed fashion photographer Terry Richardson — who has snapped Beyoncé once or twice before — was on hand with a camera crew, leading many to suspect he is directing the clip.
Following the coasting, Bey — who was accompanied by models Jourdan Dunn, Diandra Forrest and Jessica White — got into a dance-off with some men, as fans and fellow fairground-goers gathered round in awe.
After about an hour, it was a wrap, and Beyoncé left Coney Island — without so much as some cotton candy or a Nathan's Famous hotdog.
This weekend, Bey will headline hubby Jay Z's second annual Made in America festival in Philadelphia, which will also feature sets from the Nine Inch Nails, 2 Chainz, Kendrick Lamar and many others.

With the hints of print-screening into MSPaint, it might be helpful to
know that once the screen print is in the clipboard you can paste it
into most anything that can handle graphics -- notably WordPerfect and
probably any word processor and print it from there.
One note: if <print-screen> doesn't work, try <ctrl><print screen>.

Do you get a message about missing MathML fonts?
If not, did you install the *Type1* TeX fonts (not TrueType)?

Confirming. I have installed all fonts recommended by the mozilla.org mathml page. I get a dialog box the first time I open http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/start.xml saying "this page will not display correctly if you don't have these fonts: ..." and the math displays in greek letters. xlsfonts doesn't seem to list any of the fonts that I've installed, which is odd. I have restarted the machine after font installation. (I don't get the 30 second hang though) Screenshot coming up...

Created attachment 90180 [details] screenshot of greek letters on mathml page
> xlsfonts doesn't seem to list any of the fonts that I've installed, which is > odd. So it is a font installation problem, as evidenced by the weird look of the radical symbol (bug 27860). Also, if you are are using a TrueType Symbol, you will be running into troubles: http://groups.google.com/groups?dq=&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&th=1453307737e2abc6 ...And it has been reported that RH7.3 ships with a TrueType Symbol font by default, and this may explain why you are running into troubles anyway. ================ I suggest you file a separate bug against the GFX Compositor component, and provide a *non-MathML* document with a testcase containing:  a b c  According to bug 33127, this should render as "a b c", but from your description, this is rendering as α β γ on RH7.3 because it has a TrueType Symbol font by default. It is important that you report such a bug with a HTML testcase (i.e., no MathML at all to illustrate that the problem is non-MathML specific). This way, it will get the proper attention of other module owners. Thanks.

Same behaviour on Mac OS 9.0.4 with Mozilla 1.1 Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; de-AT; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826: roman characters inside <math> are displayed as greek characters. Time until the page is displayed is normal. Although, in one special condition the characters are displayed properly: if the math is inside a

 and _not_ in display mode the roman characters are displayed properly. I've added a testfile and a screenshot. Yes, the characters of the symbol font are displayed as Greek. Yes, there is a message that CMEX10 fonts etc. are missing as there are no free TeX fonts available for the mac. But stretchy characters are displayed properly using Mathematica fonts.
As a work-around _delete_ the math's font-family declaration in mathml.css. See: http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=3D6EB021.8FC1A9FE%40maths.uq.edu.au

Perhaps you will find that swapping over Symbol and Times in the mathml.css will work. I dont know why this would work. But it does for me.

I had a truetype symbol font and I hadn't commented out the proper lines in res/fonts/fontEncoding.properties. Now it's working. (Having MathML working in linux is pretty complex!)

nick, be sure to write something about it so that others who google can learn from your own experience.

Same behaviour on Ubuntu Linux with Firefox 220.127.116.11 Errors reading mathml.css (line 65 and 432) : see javascript errors.

Those who still see Greek letters in Firefox are likely using a distro with a TrueType Symbol font (rather than Type1). If so, be sure to edit your $MOZILLA_HOME/res/fonts/fontsEncoding.properties and UNCOMMENT these lines: #encoding.symbol.ttf = Adobe-Symbol-Encoding #encoding.symbol.ftcmap = mac_roman to encoding.symbol.ttf = Adobe-Symbol-Encoding encoding.symbol.ftcmap = mac_roman See also bug 128153 comment 81.
