Visited the Service Apartment again last week, for the economical price, free secured parking (not by the roadside for peace of mind!) and request for the same unit facing the swimming pool to be on the safe side.
Surprised to discover that the unit some what looked different... more welcoming and upon closer look, there are a few changes with the same price:
1. Walls have nice pictures;
2. Kitchen has microwave oven;
3. TV is flat screen type;
4. Fridge is new;
5. Swimming pool looked more welcoming with crystal clear water;
6. Water fall and children slide water flowing;
7. Luckily the Cooling Breeze unique to the place is still there.
Will not hesitate to recommend and sure will come back again without doubt!

Ratings for Dr. Stu Koensgen
Dealing with a genuine person here, not just a psychiatrist so he never makes me feel inferior. Refreshing reminder that doctors are people too. He's really listening and has done much for me during a rough time. Will always be grateful for his profession, yet empathetic approach.
Dr.Koensgen has basically been there for me for many years. He is extremely professional and caring. I cannot put into words how this Doctor has helped me and my life. I would recommend him to all if you want a doctor who really sets himself apart.
Dr. Koensgen is the best of the best. He has been my doctor for many years. He has helped me resolve much of my PTD and with my recovery from addiction. His support and caring has brought me to a place where I have learned to care, love and take care of myself. My other psychiatrist, many years ago, made me feel dependent and inadequate. With Dr. Stu's help, I have become empowered. I was able to leave an abusive, lengthy marriage and stay clean for over a decade. He has been one of the biggest gifts in my life. Today I am comfortable living on my own with many good friends and family.
I had been a patient of Dr. Koensgen for many years and my life is on track because of him. He taught me skills about caring for myself while going through a severe depression that I am able to pass along to others. Stu, you are truly a gift from God. While so many doctors prescribe drugs willy nilly, you are thoughtful and consider side effects vs. the overall effectiveness. I will never ever forget you.
I have been seeing this doctor for about 10 months now and I have never felt better. He treats me with respect and values my Christian identity. He puts me in charge of my treatment and is always honest and direct in saying that I know myself best. He works WITH me not FOR me. He lays out options, the pros and cons of those options and is highly supportive of what I choose. He is a great therapist as well as a doctor. In all of my 8 years living with a pyschotic disorder I have never found anyone whom I can trust and confide in and know that I am truly receiving the best treatment there is to offer. He makes himself available for anything and everything he can and never makes me feel guilty about needed forms filled out. He is a gift from God and yet so humble. Simply put amazing!!!

Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 4, No. 380. Wednesday, 23 June 1993.
Date: Tuesday, 22 Jun 1993 09:49 EST
Subject: 4.0379 Antony and Cleopatra Query
Comment: Re: SHK 4.0379 Antony and Cleopatra Query
Dear Susan:
Your query sounds as good as anything to start up a summertime discussion
on SHAKESPER so I'll reply through the network, rather than privately,
partly because I have a theory about Cleopatra that I haven't tested
anywhere, and if anyone wants to respond to this, or tell me where it's
all been carefully proved or disproved already, that would be great. I
would answer that you're being misled by the Renaissance tracts to dismiss
Shakespeare's Cleopatra. She is, in my quirky interpretation, the
imaginative center of the play. In fact, I could argue that her re-
creation of Antony in Act V in "His legs bestrid the ocean" is the
poet's achievement, the making of the myth out of the man that Anthony
was not (could not have) been ("Think you there was or might have been
such a man...."?). In this sense, Cleopatra, the woman of the night,
associated with the moon, with fertility, with imaginative creation
speaks as a poet herself, and she creates with poetic virility. She
has ALL the children in the play, so it matters little in a sense how
practically she protects them. She is the antidote to the "holy, cold,
and still disposition" of the virtuous Octavia, surely the "best" of the
Romans, but still no match for Anthony's blood. Cleopatra is a "wonderful
piece of work," a "queen," a "lass unparallel'd," (and you may resist the
objectification and potential diminution these terms suggest, but the
play incorporates them in to a portrait of a fascinating, irresistible
woman). She is, and this is my argument, also the poet, and HER myth
of Anthony (as ultimately Shakespeare's myth of both Anthony and her)
transcends the tawdry reality of their lives. When teaching this play,
I liken Cleopatra to Hedda Gabler; In Ibsen's play, Thea is the moral
person, but this is not a play about moral goodness. And Shakespeare's
play is not about duty, good husbandry or good huswifery. It celebrates
the dungy earth of Egypt where Anthony is most himself, and where poetic
creation can afford to create myth at the expense of the ordinary round
of life. Cleopatra is a MISERABLE warrior, but then Shakespeare never
much idealizes war, and he certainly would not welcome the addition of
female troops (the latest form of liberation for women would definitely
not please him). So she is VERY destructive in the battle. But otherwise,
she represents the energy that not only fascinates but that also creates:
living children and poetic myths. An alternate social and ethical order,
and not by any means an inferior one, as presented in the play.
By the way, Ralph Cohen in this year's Shenandoah Shakespeare Express
production of the play is trying to give Cleopatra a kind of Eastern
cult anti-Christianity energy that would support some kind of inter-
pretation like this. It's fairly commonplace to argue for the fecundity
and fertility of Egypt against the sterile heroism of Rome. My wrinkle
on that argument is to link Cleopatra with the poet, with imagination
Okay. Shoot away.

We are looking for recommendations for a good family practitioner or pediatrition in south Minneapolis or close-by. We would like a doctor that is supportive of extended breastfeeding, co-sleeping & home birth. Thank you!
However, since no one has responded yet, here are a few suggestions from other places.
These threads found previously on the forum have lists that could be good starting points. You could try PMing people who recommended specific doctors there to see if they can share more information since none of the requests was as encompassing as yours Some of them might be a good fit.
Also, a few suggestions from similar questions on local e-mail lists I am on. I don't know anything about them personally, but maybe someone else here does? Or they could be worth interviewing. The first two links may be for the same Dr.? And the first two recommendations may both be about the same person (that doctor)?
I am sorry I do not have her contact info at the moment.
Brooklyn Center Clinic, a Hennepin County Medical Center Clinic 6601 Shingle Creek Pkwy # 400, Minneapolis, MN 55430-1787
And I think they accept all insurance.
Hope that helps!
These are probably farther than you want to drive, but may be worth knowing about.
Synergy Family Physicians. Not pediatricians, but that shouldn't matter.
They started this integrative care center a few months ago after having been
"fed up" (my words) with working for Health Partners. They have studied natural
medicine. I am a classical homeopath and they spent an hour and a half with me
one day in December, just talking about their philosophy and trying to
understand homeopathy. I may actually start spending a day or two there a week
when their clinic traffic picks up.
Dr. Perry said that people have come from as far away as Prior Lake just to see
a physician who won't ridicule their choices. They won't argue about vaccines,
and they will support your lifestyle.
They take most insurance, except Health Partners.
Phone: 651-287-8780
This one is a pediatrician and much farther away, so probably not who you are looking for, but just in case
Anyway, I like her ( she has a lot of AP families). Dr. Julie Saxton at Pediatric and Young Adult Medicine. 651.227.7806 I think the website is pyam.org (maybe .com).
Hi there-
We go to Fairview Hiawatha clinic in S. Mpls. It's at the corner of E. 38th St. and 42nd Av. S. Our primary care doc for the past 7 years has been Sarah Maier (http://www.fairview.org/Providers/Bio/D_120677). We love her. She is smart, respectful, and very friendly. Occasionally, when Dr. Maier hasn't been available, we have also seen Lisa Spatz. She too is 10 kinds of awesome. :) Both are family practitioners.
Good luck with your search!
Thanks for the input! We try to avoid medicines if possible, is the doctor supportive of alternative paths?
Yup. She even says so in her provider profile. :) And our personal experience with Dr. Maier has shown that she too prefers to avoid unnecessary medication. She was also respectful of our desire to delay certain vaccinations.
Racheal Rapatz (spelling??? I'll check it and come back if that's wrong). She's a family practice doctor who works out of HCMC in Brooklyn Park. My home birth midwife recommended her to us. She has had home births with all of her own children. She's really sweet and natural friendly. We've only seen her once so far but I know she comes highly recommended in the natural community.

This time last year Canada's Lundin Mining was on the sale block. Now the $C3 billion ($2.9 billion) miner has returned to looking for growth, and two Australian juniors exploring for copper in Chile appear to feature prominently in its plans.
At the start of the week, Lundin picked up a big parcel of shares in
Hot Chili's flagship is the Productora project on Chile's coastal range, which is an iron oxide copper gold deposit, the same as those that underpin the giant Olympic Dam and Prominent Hill operations in South Australia.
The company has a major drilling program under way to triple the Productora resource to 300 million tonnes. It envisages this supporting an open-pit mine producing 60,000 tonnes of copper a year for 20 years.
The other Perth-based junior Lundin has invested in is
Along with taking an 11.5 per cent stake in Southern Hemisphere, Lundin has an option to earn up to 75 per cent of the company's Llahuin copper and gold project, also on Chile's coastal range, by spending up to $35 million on exploration and feasibility studies.
Southern Hemisphere says Llahuin displays similarities to Teck's Carmen de Andacollo mine in terms of mineralisation and potential size. Carmen de Andacollo is another 60,000-tonne a year Chilean copper operation. It's still early days for both Hot Chili and Southern Hemisphere with their respective projects, and local investors are yet to afford a whole lot of value to them.
But Lundin looks to be crafting a classic counter-cyclical move, positioning so that it can at some stage consolidate the companies and add a strong Chilean arm to its portfolio of assets in Sweden, Spain, Portugal and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Canadian company has links to another Chilean copper and gold explorer, NGEx Resources, which is part of the broader Lundin Group. Therefore any consolidation moves could include a third player.
Group chairman Lukas Lundin has plenty of experience in South America: one of his earliest deals was bringing Australia's Mount Isa Mines in as a partner on the Alumbrera copper and gold mine in Argentina in 1994.

If ever there was a week to remind us how character-building commissioning a new mine can be, the one just past was it. The example that tested the constitution of investors the most was fledgling silver miner
Cobar shares lost almost 50 per cent of their value on Monday following the revelation that ore grades at the company's Wonawinta mine in NSW, which started production in July, had not met expectations.
Soon after the announcement, investor forums on the internet were awash with speculation about the viability of the project, the company's ability to pay its debts and whether it might need to buy silver to meet its hedging contracts.
Cobar tried to reassure investors on Wednesday, telling them the main reason for the update was to inform the market that it wouldn't meet its full-year production target of 250,000 ounces of silver and it had no reason to doubt that the amount of silver it thought was in the Wonawinta deposits was actually there.
To no avail, though. While there was a small bump on Wednesday, the stock finished the week down about 40 per cent at about 35¢.
Just to prove that new mine teething problems can happen to anyone, gold producer and market darling
The slip-up at Garden Well is arguably the first step the company has put wrong since former Equigold directors Nick Giorgetta, Mark Clark and Morgan Hart took control of the board in 2009.
No one is raising quite the same alarm with Regis as with Cobar, due to the management's track record. Many see this track record as responsible for the premium stock market valuation the company, now worth $2.5 billion, enjoys. Regis also has a very solid balance sheet, having recently paid off the last of its debt and talking about paying fully franked dividends in the near future.

Moves by directors of
In the same accelerated block offering, Northern Star managing director Bill Beament is selling 8.2 million shares, about a third of his holding, and chairman Chris Rowe 3.3 million, almost half his holding.
While the share sales announcement drove the Northern Star share price from $1.53 back towards $1.35, the explanation was that they were necessary if the company was to establish itself as a "blue-chip Australian gold miner".
Northern Star recently graduated to the S&P/ASX200, creating new demand for the stock, relatively tightly held among institutions. Institutions don't take kindly to cosy arrangements with cornerstone shareholders, hence InvestMet's decision to sell down and remove one of its board representatives .
Beament took the demand for a bigger free float as an opportunity to reduce his personal tax and debt obligations. But he has reaffirmed his belief in the company's future.
With a second production centre at Ashburton in WA soon to get up and running, exploration is set to focus on the 200-kilometre corridor between there and its established Paulsens mine.Fotios, who pumped the money into Northern Star to recapitalise it in 2009, will collect $34.4 million from the sale of his shares, Beament $11 million and Rowe $4.45 million.

After a 'heart-to-heart' conversation with Sony Music Group's exec Rob Stringer, J-Lo decided to leave the recording company, leaving her new album 'Love?' in jeopardy.
Jennifer Lopez is no longer working under the umbrella of Sony Music Epic Records. The singer decided to go separate ways with her longtime label after having a "heart-to-heart" conversation with Chairman Rob Stringer at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills during the Grammys week.
"Jennifer had a wonderful relationship with the Sony Music group, and they have shared many successes together," her manager Benny Medina told Deadline. "But the time was right to make a change that best serves the direction her career as an actress and recording artist. She is grateful and appreciative to everyone Sony for all that they accomplished together."
Following her departure from the giant recording company, Jennifer reportedly is in talks to sign a deal with Island Def Jam, the current home of such divas as Mariah Carey and Rihanna. She was rumored to have met the label's CEO L.A. Reid at the Grammys after-party last month.
A greatest hits compilation is planned to be released by Sony this fall. But, the fate of her upcoming seventh studio album "Love?" is currently in question despite the fact that two singles from the new album, "Fresh Out the Oven" and "Louboutins", have been embraced by music lovers.
Serving as a buzz song, "Fresh Out the Oven" peaked at No. 1 on Billboard Dance/Club Play Songs chart, while its official lead single "Louboutins" failed on the chart, only reaching No. 13. Another single which is plotted to be released is "What Is Love". It is picked up as one of the soundtracks for her upcoming movie "The Back-Up Plan".

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the No Borders Ultimate Tournament (July 26-27). To celebrate its 30th year, OCUA will be providing special attention to one of the longest running tournaments in Ultimate history. It will be a special year with a historical retro theme! The No Borders Organizing Committee is looking to fill 4 volunteer positions.
Planning is still ongoing and details aren't set in stone. We need your help! If you are interested in volunteering and helping organize what will be a memorable tournament, then please get in touch with the organizing committee by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. All volunteers will be supported by OCUA staff, but expect to commit to meetings and various pre-tournament tasks.
Social Media Wizard
Have multiple Twitter handles? Know when to #hashtag and #when #not #2? Is logging on Facebook a daily routine?
We need a volunteer that will be available on-site for the tournament (July 27-28) and knows how to promote an event via social media. They will also be responsible for live tweets during the tournament.
Commitment Level: Low (1-2 hours/month) until tournament weekend, then high (onsite entire tournament).
Accommodations & Transportation Guru
Do you love analyzing problems and finding solutions? Do you know how to squeeze 12 clowns in a Smart Car?
We are looking for someone that will help manage the tournament's accommodations and transportation logistics. This list can include organizing billets, managing UPI's parking lot, and organizing an effective shuttle service.
Commitment Level: High (4-8 hours/month) until tournament weekend. Then you get to see your efficient logistical system shine through the weekend as you sip on Palm Bays.
Social Events PPP (Party Planning Person)
Are you always the one among your friends organizing the outings? Do you know how Ultimate players like to party? Have you personally "won" the party at a tournament?
We are looking for a fun individual to help plan No Borders' social events. The sky is the limit and we want this year's No Borders to be memorable. This person will be in charge of organizing the non-Ultimate events for No Borders.
Commitment Level: Medium (2-4 hours/month) until tournament weekend. Then it's up to you if you want to be onsite ensuring the party is where it's at! This is the perfect role for a player that still wants to play during No Borders.
Chief Executive Officer of Tournament Volunteers
Do Tournament Directors love you? Do tournament volunteers also love you? Are you known to 'run a tight ship' and are proud of it?
We are looking for someone to help manage the 40+ volunteers that help make No Borders what it is. Often during the weekend, Tournament Directors are too busy dealing with issues that it's needed to have someone manage the flow of volunteers.
Commitment Level: Low (1-2 hours/month) until tournament weekend, then high (onsite entire tournament).
All of these positions sound great, but what if you aren't any of these 4 things? Well you're in luck. We still need general volunteers and will take all the help we can get. Simply email us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll get back to you.

District 7 Wins Two Value Analysis Awards
(Click on photos to enlarge and read captions)
Staff in District 7 received one Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) award and one Caltrans "Value Analysis Coordinator of the Year" Award. in 2012.
Awards in these categories are handed out once every four years: one is the FHWA/Caltrans "Value Engineering Study of the Year Award," received this year for the LA-5- LA I-5 PCC Rehabilitation project.
The purpose of the award is to recognize outstanding implemented results from a particular VA/VE study completed in a given fiscal year. Award criteria include: solving problems; innovative solutions; performance improvements (expressed in percentage, including improving public image, reducing construction time, expediting project delivery, improving operations and easing maintenance; life-cycle cost savings and total cost savings.
This is a 3-R (Resurface, Restore, and Rehabilitate) project which proposes various pavement strategies to extend the service life of the existing major interstate freeway. The core work of the $130 million project involves in-kind replacement of the existing 3rd stage cracked PCC slabs with rapid strength concrete (RSC) to accommodate heavy truck traffic loads on both the N/B and S/B directions.
Of the 10 ten possible solutions to the original project concept baseline proposed by the VA
Team, four alternatives were accepted by key decision stakeholders. By utilizing PCC during daytime construction operation, in lieu of placing Rapid Strength Concrete (RSC) at nighttime construction as it was originally proposed by the design team, this strategy would provide a savings of approximately $30 million in material costs. Overall, the project total cost was reduced to $100 million.
Construction started in March, 2012 and the PCC placement strategy has been mplemented as recommended in the final VA report.
Sharing in the award were: Ashraf A. Habbak, Project Manager; Debbie Wong, Design Manager; John Zaki, Maintenance Design; Daniel S. Widjaja, Construction; Ramesh Patel, Structures Maintenance; Varoozh Torossian, Traffic Management; and Ken Yip, Planning.
The second of two awards is for the "Value Analysis Coordinator of the Year," which was presented to Duke Nguyen, Assistant Value Analysis Coordinator. The purpose of this award is to recognize the important role that the District Value Analysis Coordinator contributes to the success of the Caltrans Value Analysis Program Coordinators from a given District or Region.
Award criteria include:
Promoting the Value Analysis Program among Caltrans employees, local agencies and others; exceptional effort in finding and providing qualified district staff to participate in studies; maintaining a good pool of district employees with recent VA training; and consistent correspondence with the Headquarters VA program.
Nguyen's immediate supervisor is Jamal El-Jamal, D7 VA Coordinator, VA Unit and Office Chief is Elaheh Yadegar, Office of Project and Special Studies.
Congratulations to all the winners!

Our look at the best Buckeye football players by state over the past 30 years continues with Georgia, a state that has become a big one for Ohio State recruiting but only in the past few years.
While Ohio State signed 18 players from the Peach State from 1985-2014, 11 came in the last 10 classes. Tim Walton was the first in 1989 while Stephen Collier and Raekwon McMillan are the most recent.
Check out our nominees, and let us know who you think is the best.
A four-year letterwinner from 1987-90, Olive made the team as a walk-on out of Atlanta Frederick Douglass. He led the Buckeyes in receiving in 1990 with 41 catches for 652 yards. That year he also etched his name in Ohio State lore by catching the game-winning 3-yard touchdown pass from Greg Frey in an upset of No. 6 Iowa. Two years earlier, Frey and Olive hooked up for a 20-yard touchdown to complete a 36-33 comeback victory against No. 7 LSU. Olive finished his career with 91 catches for 1,419 yards, both still top 20 marks in school history.
Tim Walton
An All-Georgia quarterback from Columbus Carver High, Walton signed with Ohio State in 1989 and played cornerback for the Buckeyes. He was a four-year letterwinner and started in the defensive backfield in 1992 and '93. Walton had 82 tackles, including four for loss and two touchdown saves over his last two seasons, and he broke up five passes. He has gone on to a coaching career that has included stops at Bowling Green, Memphis, Miami (Fla.), LSU, Syracuse, the Detroit Lions and the St. Louis Rams.
A member of the star-studded 2002 recruiting class, Mitchell was a four-star recruit at Atlanta Mays High when he signed with the Buckeyes. He was a four-year letterwinner and a three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection. He became a starter as a fifth-year senior for the 2006 Big Ten championship squad that went undefeated in the regular season. That year Mitchell was fourth on the team with 60 tackles, including four for loss, and made the All-Big Ten second team. He picked off two passes, one of which he returned for a touchdown against Northwestern. He also returned an interception for a touchdown against Indiana in 2005, becoming one of only seven Buckeyes with two pick-sixes in his career. He received a law degree from Ohio State in 2012 and served as a student representative to the OSU Board of Trustees.
Anderson Russell
A three-star recruit from Atlanta Marist, Russell redshirted as a freshman in 2005 then started four games in 2006 before a knee injury knocked him out for the year. He came back the following year to reclaim the starting job and ended up starting 37 of his 44 career games in scarlet and gray. Russell finished his career with 195 career tackles, including 10 for loss and three sacks. He also picked off six passes and forced five fumbles.
A four-star recruit from Suwanee Peachtree Ridge, Cameron Heyward had an immediate impact as a true freshman in 2007 and went on to put together a stellar career on the Ohio State defensive front. He started 45 of 52 career games and finished with 37.5 tackles for loss, including 15.5 sacks while seeing time at end and tackle. He also had an 80-yard interception return his senior season against Miami (Fla.) and was a first-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He served as a captain for the 2010 season, when he led the team with 13 stops behind the line of scrimmage and was part of the All-Big Ten first team. Like Russell, he can brag of never losing to Michigan during his Ohio State career.
Perhaps the last of Jim Tressel's diamond-in-the-rough recruits, Roby was originally headed to Vanderbilt before Ohio State plucked him away (with an assist from Heyward's mom). Roby was a three-star prospect in the 2010 class who remained under the radar as he redshirted that fall before emerging a year later as one of the Big Ten's top talents. Roby's best season came in 2012 when he led the nation with 1.73 passes defender per game (his total of 17 set a new Ohio State record) and scored touchdowns via fumble recovery, interception return and blocked punt recovery. He was a two-time All-Big Ten selection and started all 37 career games while making 179 tackles with 36 career pass breakups and eight interceptions.

JERUSALEM (Oct. 8)
The mail from Soviet Russia received here today brought numerous letters to Palestine residents from Jewish relatives in the Ukraine stating that they had succeeded in escaping from the Nazis into the Soviet interior. The letters reveal that the refugees are safe and well.
The mail also included letters from Zionists interned in the Soviet Union, who were released under the recent Russo-Polish pact.

The old site was based on WordPress. It was OK, but WordPress is 1,001 different components all cobbled together, and I find it a miracle that it works at all ;). When one thing breaks, it can bring down the whole site.
That happened. That was the start of the issues. I tried to restore the site off backup, only to find out the backups didn't also record all the complex file permissions that are necessary. The restore didn't work. Eventually, we got things back up and running…but the permissions were wrong in one folder, and the script kiddies found that and uploaded their shit to the site...
So, I'm done with WordPress! Time for a clean sheet, and a different approach.
What we have here is a return to simpler times. This site doesn't need weekly maintenance, it doesn't need constant upgrades to keep ahead of the latest exploit against the most popular CMS in the world, it uses postach.io (itself based on evernote). It just works, and is super easy to use. I love that.
Yes, it looks horrible at the moment. That's because there is no proper layout at the moment, no styling, no CSS.
I'm currently working on all of this behind the scenes, so the site should look better as we move on.
As always, if you're a fragLANder and fancy throwing up the odd post on here, get in touch!

An audio interface/controller in a wah-style pedal.
The StealthPedal is a USB-powered guitar audio interface and software controller in a compact wah-style pedal, allowing you to record, play, and control the included "Powered by AmpliTube" software, or any other MIDI controllable software, with the same feel and ease of use as a traditional guitar pedal. StealthPedal lets you record guitar or bass with your Mac or PC at 24-bit A/D and D/A conversion and CD-quality 44.1/48kHz operation. It has two separate inputs for Hi-Z or line-level instruments, two separate outputs, plus a convenient headphone output.
StealthPedal from IK Multimedia also works as a software floor controller. The built-in expression pedal and switch can be associated with any parameter of "Powered by Amplitube" software, or any other amp and FX modeling software with MIDI control capabilities. The StealthPedal controls can also be expanded with an additional expression pedal and two extra switches for building a mini-pedal board rig with preset and single effects control capabilities for full live/recording usage. You're not limited to controlling amp-simulator software with StealthPedal, as it can control any effects plug-in, virtual instrument, or DAW with MIDI control capabilities.
StealthPedal sports a rugged, metal, classic wah-style, compact enclosure with a volume knob and 3 LED indicators that operate as a status display, tuner, or level indicator when used with any "Powered by AmpliTube" software. Its circuit design has been derived from IK's StompIO high-end stage controller, ensuring high-fidelity in the recording of your guitar and bass with software configurable input gain level, 109dBA low-noise input stage, and optimal audio quality throughout.
StealthPedal also comes with a must-have assortment of software, including AmpliTube 2 Live guitar and bass amp and FX modeling software, standalone and plug-in, AmpliTube X-GEAR for further expandability with all "Powered by Amplitube" software, and Sonoma Riffworks T4 for immediate recording/composing/online sharing with your Mac or PC. The StealthPedal and the included plug-in is also compatible with all popular DAW software supporting ASIO and Core Audio drivers on PC and Mac.
The smartest solution to plug into and control your Mac/PC
The StealthPedal is both an audio interface and a software controller in one compact device. It is the smartest solution for plugging your guitar and bass into your computer and immediately controlling the included software or any of your preferred MIDI-controllable effects, instruments, or DAWs.
The built-in expression pedal and switch can be quickly associated with Wah, Volume, or any effects parameter and effects on/off. The additional inputs on the StealthPedal allow the connection of an external expression pedal and a double switch, allowing you to extend your software control capabilities and build a complete mini-rig with preset-switching capabilities.
When used with any "Powered by AmpliTube" software, the 3 LED indicators also operate both as a Tuner or a level control.
A USB-powered interface with a big sound
The StealthPedal sounds amazingly good, especially when compared to other USB powered interfaces. This has been achieved by implementing various high-end electronic design techniques not commonly found in other USB bus-powered interfaces. This includes a sophisticated multiple power supply section that allows the StealthPedal to run at internal higher voltages than what are usually found in other bus powered devices.
This device is a handy, USB powered audio interface, with a serious sound. It's clean, punchy, detailed, quiet, and provides the sort of solid sound quality that you can expect from interfaces costing three or four times its price.
A must-have software collection with the great expandability
The included AmpliTube 2 Live standalone and plug-in sounds allow you to immediately access the award-winning guitar and bass tones in the AmpliTube sample library for live playing and recording.
Also included is Sonoma Riffworks T4, which allows you to create songs easily using a riff-based workflow, loop recording, automatic track creation, drums, and effects. Collaborate online with musicians around the world. Cast tunes to an enthusiastic online community"all without putting down your guitar.
Additionally, the included AmpliTube X-GEAR allows you to expand the included AmpliTube 2 Live to nearly 200 gear models using AmpliTube 2 or any other "Powered by AmpliTube" package like the style-based AmpliTube Metal, classics like Ampeg SVX, AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix, and the just announced AmpliTube Fender edition. Any of these packages can be seamlessly integrated in X-GEAR and immediately controlled by the StealthPedal for an excellent degree of expandability and modularity.

Comments about IK Multimedia StealthPedal USB-Powered Guitar Audio Interface/Software Controller for AmpliTube Software:
I don't know what the other person was talking about - this is a GREAT unit. I have one and use it all the time, and have recommended it to others who use it happily every day too. This is a quality unit and I've had great success with their support when I've had questions.
Get this and even the free Amplitube 3 and you will be on your way to rocking in no time. They have another one (the direct USB cable thing) but I don't think that one is nearly as good as this pedal. This is the one to get, not that one. The software is good either way, though, and this works with other software too because I like to keep my options open for getting guitar sounds.
Comments about IK Multimedia StealthPedal USB-Powered Guitar Audio Interface/Software Controller for AmpliTube Software:
I purchase a Stealth Pedal Deluxe. The first problem I had was with the foot swtich attached to the Stealth Pedal. Foot Switch A would only work about 30% of the time. Foot switch B would work about 60% of the time. Tuff to use footswitches when to don't work. I Contacted IkMultimedia Tech support multiple time. In the end, they could not figure out the problem and stopped responding to my emails. Tnen I purchase AmpliTube Fender and AmpliTube Metal. Neither of these products would work with the Stealth Pedal. IkMultimedia tech support had me install all AmpliTube products and reinstall. Now all of the products work but AmpliTube x-Gear. X-Gear will not connect to my guitar. All of the AmpliTube products connect to my guitar and work great except for X-Gear. Again, I have contacted tech support multiple time. They could not fix the problem and stopped responding to my emails. So without X-Gear, the Stealth Pedal is junk.

Activision dropped this new trailer -- and several new details -- about the upcoming Spider-Man: Edge of Time game on the eve of Comic-Con. The publisher also hosted a reception near the San Diego Convention Center showcasing the game (due Oct. 4 for PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii) and other upcoming releases.
A new plot development announced is that the Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099 will switch time periods at some point in the game. Spider-Man 2099 will not only have to deal with "antiquated technology and foes he doesn't know," says associate producer Dennis Bernardo, but will also have to save Mary Jane Watson. "This time-travel story and two Spider-Men working together is something you haven't seen before," he says.
Before the event, Activision announced that Laura Vandervoot (Smallville) would provide the voice for Mary Jane, while Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica) has been cast as Black Cat 2099 and Val Kilmer as the character Walker Sloan, the scientist who has created the time rift.

What to expect on our Croatia sailing holidays
We use motor sailer vessels for our Croatia Sailing Holidays as the motor enables the boat to navigate between the islands and keep to the itinerary without being reliant upon the wind, although the sails may go up on occasion. The boats have a dining area and plenty of deck space to relax and enjoy the spectacular views and sea breeze.
Relax as you let the captain and his support crew take care of all the logistics. An onboard cook prepares breakfast and lunch each day, whilst in the evening, we offer you the chance to explore dining options at our numerous ports of call. Dalmatian food is very good indeed!
Individual boat design varies slightly from craft to craft, but all sailing boats offer a range of cabin types (top deck/on deck and below deck), which comfortably accommodate two people. Below deck have a small porthole, while the advantage of upgrading to a top deck/on deck cabin is that there is direct access to the deck and they have opening windows or portholes for fresh air, sunlight and sea views.
Life on board our boats is a relatively casual affair. Each cruise itinerary offers a mix of sailing, swim breaks and plenty of free time. Arriving into a different port of call each afternoon or evening, the boat docks for the night and you can go off and independently sightsee, shop, dine or enjoy drinks with your fellow passengers.
Our local captains and crew chart the boat, freshly prepare and serve your meals and help keep the boat clean and tidy. You'll be served a continental breakfast in the morning and lunch will typically consist of soup or pasta, a main course of chicken or fish with a side salad and a dessert. Dessert is usually seasonal fruits, ice cream or perhaps pancakes.
Boat Categories Available
Find the level of comfort that suits you with our range of vessels.
Standard Boats
Standard boats are offered on all our sailing itineraries, and offer mostly twin bunk cabin accommodation. Dependent upon the craft, double-bedded cabins are sometimes available.

Accommodation is mostly twin or double-bedded cabins, though bunk bed cabins are sometimes all that is available. Exclusive features of Comfort boats include: air-conditioning in all cabins and in most of the common areas whilst sailing (no A/C is available when the boat is stationary), a guided sightseeing tour of Dubrovnik with an English speaking tour guide and a delicious Captain's Feast.
Additionally, Comfort boats offer plenty of hot water, towels, some linen, a TV and sound system in the reception area, board games and extensive sun and shaded deck space to lounge about.

Select Boats
Our Select Boats are named vessels ie M/S Dalmatia or M/S Adriatic Dream that operate a particular route week in week out. The individual features and facilities on board vary from boat to boat though typically these boats are of a superior to deluxe standard and always include en suite facilities, air-conditioned cabins with a mix of twin or double beds. The boat will have an air-conditioned restaurant and bar, sometimes a lounge and the sun deck will often have a W/C and shower for use during swim stops. Our Select Boats are motor boats.

First generation iPad, tablet computer, manufactured by the Apple Computer Company in USA, in 2010.
The iPad was used as a communication device and as an information retrieval device for accessing books, periodicals, movies, music, games, applications (apps) and web content. Similar to the iPhone and iPod Touch, the iPad is controlled by a multitouch display. It is larger than a smartphone and smaller than a laptop. The first iPad was released in April 2010 and over 15 million had been sold worldwide by the time the second generation iPad was introduced in March 2011.
This particular iPad was one of over 500 iPads, each then worth $629, distributed in June 2010 to eight Victorian schools as part of an initiative by the Victorian Government to trial the impact of iPads on student learning and communication, on the way teachers plan and deliver curriculum in the classroom and on the iPad's potential for learning in the future. The participating schools included the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School, which donated this iPad to Museum Victoria in 2012. The programme, utilising the iPad for learning in schools, was still inoperation at the time this item was donated to the Museum
Apple's first tablet computer was the Newton MessagePad 100, introduced in 1993.
This iPad and accompanying items are part of a representative collection of hardware, software, trade literature and promotional material that documents the history of the Apple Company and its contribution to, and impact on the computer industry and society.
Physical Description
iPad: rectangular silver metal case with thin curved sides and black framed screen on one of the larger sides. There are various connectors and inputs on three of the sides and a push button centred at the 'top' of the screen The following items accompany the iPad - Original cardboard box - white, rectangular, with fitted storage for iPad. mains adaptor, mains plug, mains cord and information packet - Connection cord with testing tag - Cardboard information packet - instruction card, product information guide, and Apple logo stickers - Padded zipped case, black outside, orange inside - issued with the trial product (not made by Apple) - White mains cord with connectors - White mains plug - White mains plug adapter - Photos of launch in June 2010
Apple is well known for making technology intuitive and attractively packaged for a mass clientele. Apple did not necessarily create the innovation but they popularised it. They did this with the touchscreen and mp3, and now it has been done with the iPad.

Your faithful correspondent is writing this column in Venice, an almost unforgivable crime, I know. It is not only chock full o' foreigners, it is also chock full o' boats. There are no cars, so you just know this place is some kind of socialist wonderland. The poor are free to boat about at will in their ongoing hunt for work. Foreigners boating other foreigners around, while earning a living. Some of those foreigners may or may not be Scottish. It's like an alternative universe. It's almost like they have no idea of the "Team Australia" concept. These people (and I am covering my writing hand as some are lurking) are clearly enemies of justice and freedom. People smugglers here are called "gondoliers". Typical foreign obfuscation. They paddle about with nary a care in the world. Some of them even sing foreign sea shanties to unsuspecting white people. Cheeky.
It all started at customs. Do you think they asked me what their best cricket player's average was? Nup. Do you think they asked me if I was "into their vibe"? Nup. Just straight through. No questions. No raised eyebrow. Nothing. These are dangerous people. The whole place looks like Sylvania Waters, but with older buildings and more water. And less lawns. The Tom Ugly's bridge is longer and called something foreign, but it's still a bridge. In fact, half the place is bridges. Mostly with pretentious, "spiritual", pseudo- Frenchland names. As you can imagine, I'm alert and occasionally mildly alarmed. Their food is mainly foreign too.
It's been a bit of a funny old trip all round actually. As a patriot, I flew over on the Qantas "Recognise" plane, and they seated me in 18C, which made it a bit difficult to sleep, as the three blokes behind me, George, Andrew and Tim, kept flicking the back of my seat. Even after we landed they were still going. Thankfully none of them got off at Dubai.
But back to Venice.
To call this place a city does it a disservice. It's more of a floating miracle that exists despite logic and because of the poetic heart. It's shape is reminiscent of a heart. The veins and arteries are thick and true and even a little clogged and dirty, as the heart of the reckless is often wont to be. Everything around this unique organism is, truth be blabbed, pretty crap. The Marco Polo Airport is so profoundly unworthy of that mighty explorer's name, you'd think they'd forgotten he brought Italy pasta. Then it's just car yards and scruffy hotels, some swamp and a spaghetti stick bridge until...
Venice. The lost island, where you can't help but find a new you. It does that. Worldly concerns seem to simultaneously fall away and come into clear focus.
Venice has something that few cities have: Nearly every inch is beautiful. And anything that's not is still worth a photo. Paris has it. Dublin kind of has it. I'm sure there are others, but I'm not that widely travelled. My point is, you can point anywhere, in any direction and see beauty. That's quite an amazing feat. Especially as it's still a working city. It's not just "Veniceland" for tourists. (Though there are, as is the case of all "special cities" these days, tourists aplenty. The difference is, Venice has had them since, well, a long time ago. From temple to trade to temple to the tourist has been a long slow process, and still continues today. Her identity remains elusive.
I can not recommend this strange semi-Atlantis highly enough.
Get on a plane, then get on a boat. Venice will float your boat. Promise.

The Chicago White Sox pulled a stunner Thursday, naming former All-Star third baseman Robin Ventura their manager.
Ventura, 44, played for the White Sox from 1989-98 and was appointed special adviser to the club's director of player development Buddy Bell in June.
Like his predecessor and former teammate Ozzie Guillen eight years ago, he takes the White Sox job with no managerial experience in the big leagues or minors.
Said general manager Ken Williams, in a statement released by the club:
"When I met with the media as our season ended, I identified one person at the very top of my managerial list. I wanted someone who met very specific criteria centered around his leadership abilities. Robin Ventura was that man. His baseball knowledge and expertise, his professionalism, his familiarity with the White Sox and Chicago and his outstanding character make him absolutely the right person to lead our clubhouse and this organization into the seasons ahead."
Ventura played a total of 16 years in the big leagues, retiring in 2004 in part because of lingering issues with a long-injured ankle. His other teams were the New York Mets, New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers. Extremely popular with the fans in his playing days in Chicago, he won six Gold Gloves and hit 294 home runs in his career.
"I am excited to begin my career as a manager surrounded by former teammates, staff, media and White Sox fans I know very well," Ventura said in the club's release.
Ventura's lack of experience as a manager, or even big-league coach (which Guillen was before assuming the White Sox job in 2004) are sure to be questioned. He has done some television work for ESPN as an analyst at the College World Series.
The thoughtful Californian will likely present quite a different public personna that Guillen, who frequently created controversy with his comments.
Daily Pitch is a baseball fan's destination for breaking news, emerging trends and enlightening banter. With a veteran group of reporters positioned in three time zones, we provide a balanced, comprehensive glimpse at our national pastime, with a nod to both the passion and complexities that make the sport irresistible to many.

Shireen Saif Alnaser is Happy With Her Role in "And Love is Still Continuous"
The Egyptian actress Shireen Saif Alnaser has decided to postpone her artistic projects until the filming of the TV serial "And Love is Still Continuous" edited by Mohammed Al Basousi is finished.
Hussein Fahmi and other actors and actresses are costars in the series which is directed by Tayseer Abboud and tells the story of a Mafia arms merchant in Cairo.
The Egyptian actress plays the role of a poor girl called "Ammouneh" who lives in one of Cairo's quarters which is inhabited by thieves, paper tissue and flower merchants. Ammonah falls in love with "Ezz" played by Ashraf Zaki.
Shireen tells the serial's story by describing how a brief case belonging to a businessman, Hussein Fahmi was stolen. The businessman guards, and assistants, accuse her of the theft and so they captured her. She promised to return the bag to the businessman and she really did. The businessman admired Shireen and decided to make her something else: Iman, the owner of a tourist company in Beirut.
Shireen started work without knowing the past history and the nature of the businessman's work. But by that time, Iman started to know that the businessman deals with the Mafia and so when he got into trouble, she did her best to save him and his family particularly when she knew that he was patriotic and true to his Egyptian roots. She knew also that he was against disorder and bloodshed and helping the resistance against Israel in Lebanon and providing them with free arms.
Shireen says that "such role is new to me and therefore I play it in a warm and sincere manner. I hope I shall achieve a great success in playing my role."

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan called Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Tuesday to extend his condolences following the death of senior Shiite cleric Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah. An Nahar daily reported Wednesday that Nasrallah, in his turn, thanked the Turkish PM for his stances regarding the Palestinian cause.
Media reports said last month that Erdogan had sent an official invitation to Nasrallah to visit Turkey. However, the trip was cancelled over security fears. Erdogan is expected to visit in Lebanon later this month.

My dgd Sarah got her top braces on the first day of spring break, so I took her and two of her girlfriends out to eat.....after Kim dropped them off on her way back to work.......what a fun trio they were.

They are fun, good kids, with their feet planted firmly on the ground, but have a sense of humor that is #1. After this fiasco we went shopping......what a day I had. Been a while since I was entertained by 13 year olds. Sarah is my very youngest grandchild....and I enjoyed the day immensely....we hardly ever get to do that!

The federal government aims to cut the amount of tax faced by the vast majority of Australians, Prime Minister
In a key speech delivered three days before release of the long-awaited Henry tax review, Mr Rudd hinted he was also aiming to help small businesses and working families.
The review, by Treasury secretary
The government is due to deliver its response on the same day.
Speaking to the NSW Business Chamber on Thursday, Mr Rudd said the review and the 2010-11 budget, due to be delivered on May 11, presented an opportunity to usher in a new "generation of prosperity".
"In our response to the Henry review the government will make the tax system stronger and fairer," he told a breakfast meeting of the chamber.
"Improving the structure of the tax system by replacing inefficient taxes with more efficient ones and streamlining governments and administrations reduces complexity and makes the Australian economy more productive.
"Australia needs to respond, to remain an attractive place to invest and to do business.
"That's the reason the government's aspiration is to reduce the level of tax faced by the vast majority of Australians."
Mr Rudd said the tax system should be fair, particularly for small business and working families.
"In the next two weeks the government will release its tax policy and budget package," he added.
"These events are an opportunity to capitalise on Australia's success through the global recession.
"If we make the right decisions we will convert our strong economic position into a new generation of prosperity."

The lowdown from the father of Chicago blues.
Arguably the heaviest bluesman ever, Muddy Waters literally electrified the Chicago blues world with the 1948 release of his first single on Chess Records ("I Can't Be Satisfied"). By taking the Robert Johnson and Son House-inspired acoustic Delta blues that he had played in Mississippi and firing it up with raw amplification, he created the blueprint for generations of Chicago blues players. Bob Margolin played guitar in Muddy Waters' band for 7 years in the '70s, absorbing his music first-hand. In this DVD, he shares the secrets of Muddy's solo guitar and ensemble work and covers slow blues, boogie blues, slide guitar, and guitar bass lines in standard and open tunings. Bob even plays an original song that he wrote as a tribute to his former mentor. Includes the songs Blow Wind Blow; I Can't Be Satisfied; Rollin' and Tumblin'; Big Leg Woman; Kind Hearted Woman; and more. As a special bonus, this DVD includes rare performance footage of Muddy. 52 minutes.
Artist: Muddy Waters

Sneaker Game Japan vs. USA
Hi all, I'm kind of new to the sneaker game and am trying to get up to speed. I'm into the rare, retro hard-to-find AF1's, Jordans, Dunks BAPES, etc etc. Who gets the better sneakers US or Japan? If so, why does one get better than the other? How often does Nike do JP exclusive releases. Is there anywhere to find out when these releases come out and how often a new version of an AF1, Dunk etc comes out? Are the prices more expensive in Japan or the US? If I was to go to Japan and pick up some ish that doesn't come out in the US what kind of resell value would they have. How easy is it for people in the US get their hands on exclusive releases in Japan? Only authentic of course. Any help is appreciated.2 Weeks ago in Japan

Mrs. Obama To Do Fashion Week?
Not even three full days into being The First Lady, Fashion Week organizers are already planning to invite Michelle Obama to the festivities in February in New York City. Mrs. Obama has been making headlines for her fashion trends for some time so this invite comes as no surprise. She's been so influential for her fashion sense and style. J.Crew's Website saw a 64 percent traffic spike the day after she wore the label on "The Tonight Show." She put designer Jason Wu in the spotlight for her inaugural gown, and she continues to make other designers become household names like Thakoon Panichgul and Mario Pinto. Mrs. Obama's invite couldn't have come at a better time considering many designers have pulled out of Fashion Week and the industry really needs a boost right now. IMG senior vice president said, "We have several other great initiatives like that that I certainly think are perfect for her and her daughters." No word on which shows are extending invites.

The climate change adviser has also recommended a temporary government loan for high-emission generators to ensure stability in the power sector in the transition to an emissions trading scheme.
Professor Garnaut said while there was "negligible" risk to power supply through the introduction of a carbon price, the loan guarantee on the debt of generators would have the effect of reducing the probability of generator insolvency and boosting investor confidence in the sector.
The review says high-emission generators in the south-east already have to refinance up to $7 billion in debt in the next five years, even before a tax.
"There are well-known examples of one nervous bank within a consortium causing or going close to causing a commercially sound arrangement to unravel," the report says.
"The loan guarantee facility would reduce the probability of such behaviour interfering with the adjustment to a carbon price."
Professor Garnaut said the power sector could blunt the cost of a carbon price by correcting its own inefficiencies, which it should be doing anyway.
He said the regulatory system encouraged the gold plating of state-owned transmission and distribution systems, especially in NSW and Queensland, to deal with rare peak loads.
The money would be better spent building more interconnections between state grids and creating a truly national electricity market.
A national grid would make it easier to deal with peaks, access cleaner power sources and to shut down dirtier generators. Professor Garnaut called for an overhaul of the regulatory arrangements which would block state governments from over-investing in the network.
"The reform of price regulation must end the encouragement of increases in peak demand for electricity, and introduce incentives for reducing peak demand," he said.
Ausgrid managing director George Maltabarow, who runs the NSW state-owned transmission and distribution company, said he welcomed calls for regulatory reform of network companies to provide greater incentives to meet peak demand.
But he said claims that there had been over-investment in electricity networks were unfounded.
"Our capital program is mainly driven by the need to replace infrastructure built 40 or 50 years ago. It is simply unsafe to neglect it," he said.
Mr Maltabarow said the review had based some of its conclusions on a "misleading and inaccurate" report commissioned by big energy users.
Victorian distribution company, the privately-owned SP Ausnet, said it had not overspent on its distribution network, and the company would continue to upgrade.
A spokeswoman for Victorian generator TRUenergy said that numerous reports on the industry had said that there is a risk to supply from the carbon tax, "so Garnaut remains a lone voice in this space".
While Professor Garnaut acknowledged households would be compensated for price increases associated with the carbon tax, he warned low-income households would struggle to adjust their energy consumption through the adoption of energy-saving products such as solar hot water or insulation.

Occupying an area of 540,000 square meters (about 133 acres), the Date Garden-site of the CCP Secretariat is eight kilometers (about five miles) away from Yan'an. There are twenty cave dwellings (a kind of traditional house for people in northern Shaanxi Province, usually carved out of hills made up of compacted earth), along with over eighty tile-roofed houses and one assembly hall. It was originally a garden of a warlord and at one time had also been used as the site of the CCP Secretariat from October 1943 to March 1947. As an important revolutionary site, it has now become a famous revolutionary tourist attraction.
A lot of historically meaningful events took place in the Date Garden during the period between 1943 and 1947. The Chinese people won the Anti-Japanese War and The Seventh National Congress of CPC was held. Fully prepared for the situations following the Anti-Japanese War, the central government broke Kuomintang (KMT)'s dream to start the civil war across the country. All these events are closely linked to the fate of the whole nation.
There are 815 pieces of cultural relics exhibited within the garden, most of which are regarding its revolutionary history. In the garden some of the former residences, including those of Mao Zedong (1893 - 1976), Zhu De (1886 - 1976, a great general), Liu Shaoqi (1898 - 1976, Chinese communist political leader), and Zhou Enlai (1898 - 1976, first premier of the PRC) and the assembly halls are open to the public. Xinfu Penstock flows across the yard of the garden. This penstock was built by the Eighth Route Army (led by the Chinese Communist Party during the Anti-Japanese War) to facilitate the irrigation of nearby fields. Local people had benefited a lot from the penstock, so they called it Xinfu Penstock which means blessedness.

AdaptiveSEO™ Service in Plain English. How to Get on Google's Pet List?
It was not that long ago, when simple onpage changes and link-building were enough to get the best rankings on search engines. For most SEO service providers it was easy money, easy results. This attitude changed when Google announced the new updates (Panda, Penguin, Hummingbird).
SEO service providers had 2 options: stop their business and start blaming Google or adapt to the changes. At YDS we chose the second option, so we started implementing the Adaptive SEO approach. This decision has proven to be the right one and the results speak for themselves, but most importantly our clients are happy!
Some people have asked us what is AdaptiveSEO™ and how is it different from the "standard SEO". The point is – there is no "standard SEO". Search engine optimization agencies normally don´t tell you the details of what they are doing. For the client sometimes it can sound like some kind of "black magic". We believe that AdaptiveSEO™ service must be something that everyone can understand, follow the activities and results. Are you ready to find out more about the service itself? Lets go!
First Step – AdaptiveSEO™ Audit
Before you start investing in Paid Search or other digital marketing services, you want to make sure you're getting the most out of your website. That basically means creating a solid foundation from the start, one that you'll continue to benefit from in long term. This is what AdaptiveSEO™ audit is all about – kind of like building a house! Without a solid foundation it will simply collapse. You don´t want this to happen to your website.
Your Digital Story checklist for Audit:
1. Keyword research
2. Competitor analysis
3. Fixing current keyword positions at Google, Yandex, Bing or other SE
4. Google Analytics setup or check (incl eCommerce)

19. Google Alerts setup – it is a great free tool that helps to monitor brand keywords related activities on web.
20. We also check sales funnels, shopping carts (e-shop) etc to find out possible ways to improve conversions.
After the audit, we analyse the results and develop onsite SEO strategy plan.
Second Step – OnSite activities
Now is the time to fix the errors that were identified in the first stage. Basically we are going to do all onsite work what is needed. This will help your website to get more traffic through organic and referral channels.
Your Digital Story checklist for OnSite activities:
1. We create the SEO strategy
2. We check current backlinks (source, quality)
3. Inpage linking
4. We choose the right keywords and assign them to landing pages
5. If needed, we correct landing pages body (text, images)
6. Correcting URL structure
7. Fix Sitemap
8. Fix robots.txt
9. Fixing broken links
10. Fixing error redirects
11. Landing Pages META (alts, videos, titles, H1, description etc)
12. If needed we will create new content
13. Setting up Google authorship
Now we are ready to start the monthly AdaptiveSEO™ service to get higher rankings, more traffic and more conversions.
Third Step – Monthly activities
After we have created this solid foundation, we can start "building the house" on top of that. At this stage we need to be as flexible as possible. Why? Because search engines algorithms will be changing all the time.
Ultimate goal as we know is simple: to get better SERPs, more quality traffic and more conversions . To be on top of this, we need to monitor on a daily basis all onsite and offsite SEO related figures (like keyword positions, backlinks, social signals etc). Based on these activities and results we develop action plan to increase results month by month.
Your Digital Story checklist for monthly activities:
1. Optimising the chosen keywords
2. Content creation and marketing (blogs, guest blogs, infographics, videos etc).
3. Inpage linking
4. Monitoring website technical indicators
5. Basic Online Brand Management with Social Media
6. Link Analysis and earning
7. Recording daily keyword positions, backlinks and other stuff for your and competitors website
8. And finally we want that our customer understand what we do. So we send you a monthly report with results and all activities.

Joli Vin imports
Appellation: Morgon
Varietal: Gamay
Vineyards: Corcelette & Les Charmes
Orientation: South & southwest
Average age of vines: 60 years
Principal soil type: Decomposing granite topsoil above clay subsoil
Julien's Morgon cuvée originates from two separate parcels of equal surface area, one located in the southwest facing slope lieux-dit (named parcel) of Corcelette and the other oriented toward the south called Les Charmes. Both parcels were planted in the 1960s and are composed of decomposing granitic topsoil, what is called locally as roche pourrie or rotted rock, over clay base two meters below, lending heft and structure to the wine.
Julien Sunier's 2014 rendition of Morgon is a young and very, very promising example of its village and this lovely vintage, offering up a deep, nascently complex and very precise bouquet of black cherries, pomegranate, fresh thyme, granite, a touch of espresso and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and rock solid at the core, with a fine girdle of acidity, ripe, buried tannins and excellent length and grip on the primary, pure and gently chewy finish. This needs time to unwind, but will be excellent with a bit of bottle age! Like his Fleurie, there is simply gorgeous backend energy in this young wine.
—John Gilman
