Excellent value for money - a fab holiday!: MSC Opera Cruise Review by MrsFoz
Overall Member Rating
Excellent value for money - a fab holiday!
Destination: Europe - British Isles & Western
Embarkation: Other
THE SHIP - we found the Opera to be immaculate and spotlessly clean - it is a really pleasant ship with comfortable lounges. The swimming pool deck area is again clean and nice with bars/ice-cream bar/pizzeria/grill all on this floor. There was safety glass around this deck so you could see the nice views but the kids were safe. There are 2 swimming pools both of which have kiddy paddling More areas which is great HOWEVER, the water was freezing! at least one of these pools really needs to be heated. Everyone had to pile in to the jazuzzis for a heat between dips. It didnt seem to bother the kids though! I liked the fact that there were plenty of shaded areas on the pool deck to take the kids on the really hot days.
FOOD - As first time cruisers we thought the the selection, quality and availability was fantastic. On reading reviews of frequent cruisers though it seems that it is even better on other lines though! We used the buffet for brekkie and lunch and one of the formal restaurants for dinner. Our waitress was fantastic and really lovely with the kids.
DRINK - we opted to go semi-all-inclusive whereby we were all inclusive for beer, cider, wine, soft drinks, hot drinks non-alcoholic cocktails & ice-cream. this worked really well for us and was good value for money. it also meant we werent counting the pennies while on board, we could just relax and have a much or as little as we liked.
KIDS - All the staff were really friendly with the kids. There is a large playroom and kids club for over 3's which our 5 year-old used on the days we were at sea / when the weather wasnt so great, HOWEVER, no play areas for under 3's which I found disspointing. It wouldnt take much to sat up a wee soft-play/toy area in one of the many lounges for kids to potter and play while thier parents supervised over a coffee/drink. This would be appreciated by families with older kids too as the kids entertainment was limited to the kids club, but many families want to do activities together on holiday rather than just put the kids in a club.
FAMILY CABIN - small but nice and perfectly clean and with adequate storage. room mostly taken up with large (super-king??) sized bed. The kids beds pulled down from the wall (high-up, but with guard rail)and overlapped the edges of the main bed. Stickers said that kids should sleep in main bed and not the bunks but I wasnt going on a crusie to sleep in a bunk-bed while my kids slept in a superking so we just wedged a cushion under the matress of each of their beds so that they rolled in to the wall and not down on top of us! Incidnetally - our 2-year old who doesnt sleep through the night at home slept through every night of the cruise - must have been the movement of the ship!. Showerroom/toilet again small but perfectly fine. Ladies - take your own hairdryer as the one provided is one of those hose/hoover type ones which isnt really much cop. Less

Tonight I caught one of my all time favorite movies on TV, A Perfect Murder. I always loved Gwyneth's wardrobe in this movie as she played wealthy Emily Taylor who is caught up in a love affair with someone her husband hires to kill her.
The funny thing is that every time I mention watching this movie (which is multiple times per year), someone always says that they loved her wardrobe in the film.
I thought it'd be fun to replicate some of "Emily Taylor's" timeless looks from the film.
Turtleneck, Skirt, Shoes, Bag
Do you all love this movie as much as I do?

She was herself by birth and residence a Genevan, and a distant relative of the Gallatins.
On all accounts the Genevan was the better and was driving out its rival.
This is a most effectual way of treating a delicate Genevan timepiece.
Yet there could be no hope of gaining the approval of Elizabeth for the Genevan Bible.
To see the world is an almost irresistible temptation to a Genevan, accordingly I gave my consent.
In 1536 he was released, and was appointed Historian to the Genevan Republic.
At any rate, the Genevan Catholics are fortunate to have such a bishop.
I can sit in my own garden and hear the Genevan thunders from within.
As far as can be gathered from the examination of a single chapter, the work seems chiefly based upon the Genevan.
Next, the Genevan and Knoxian "kirk discipline" must be introduced.

She is considered by a number of modern critics as one of the pioneers of modern literary feminism, while others consider her simply a well-accomplished baroque author. The female characters in de Zayas' stories were used as vehicles to enlighten readers about the plight of women in Spanish society, or to instruct them in proper ways to live their lives.

Is Phoenix still a giant? They just lost to Detroit and Boston - great teams, obviously, but we've beaten both recently. Also, they really only beat us because we didn't score, and that's not Phoenix's game, so I don't know if I give them credit for good defense or say we just missed shots. There's no shame in holding the Suns to 107 points. What I take from this loss is that we're still a pretty shabby offensive team, and that hitting 10 threes the other day was a huge fluke. Though maybe down the road Carney becomes a reliable shooter, but it sure hasn't happened yet. Oh, and I wouldn't be so hesitant to bash Willie. 2-8, 3 fouls in 19 minutes... I'm inclined to make a snarky comment about him being Ben Gordon lite but I'll save it.
Willie was bad, but so was the rest of the team. It wasn't his fault they started so cold, which was my point about Mo starting him the other day.
Hitting 10 threes the other night was a fluke, but they aren't as bad offensively as they were tonight. They're somewhere in between. Maybe it's a different story if Iguodala actually makes a jumper or two, or Miller doesn't start 0/5 from the floor.
They need to turn the page on this one and go to Cleveland and win on Sunday.
By the way, did you catch Ben Gordon's line against the Sixers the other night? 3/12, 1/6 from three, premiere shooter indeed.
Not a very typical line for Gordon, who's the second most accurate shooter from three over his career in the league and the ninth most accurate of all time. (I didn't believe that myself, but see below.)
Wow. That is an amazing stat.
I still say he's the same type of player as Green, a gunner who plays no D. He turned down the same kind of money Iguodala did before the signing period ended this year, I don't think he's worth $55M+ over 5 years, especially to this team.
I mean, Louis Williams is the same "type" of player that Allen Iverson is... but does that mean anything? Depending on how good a gunner is, he can be a valuable asset. I agree that $55M is probably a bit much.
I am not concerned by this loss; yes I would like them to start Thad over Willie. yes, they can shoot better than they showed. yes, they will make the playoffs. The thing I want to see is better (and smarter) rotation defense. At some point you have to just let a team try and beat you one on one every once in a while. When your shot is not falling you have bring your lunchpail and hold the other team.
The Suns are an extremely tough to team to go one-on-one against, now. Especially if Shaq is going to show he has enough left in the tank. They've got two guys you pretty much need to double down low.
What is it about the Sixers that makes Boris Diaw play like an All Star? Every time I see him play against anyone else he's an absolute stiff, but he always seems to drop 20 on us.
Don't let Willie off the hook. He is a cancer and must be chemo'd or contained somehow.
Iggy's jumper was horrible. Miller was fine I thought.
Thad was in foul trouble. I still wanted him out there towards the end of the 3rd for big minutes.
Painful game to be a part of. I watch Willie constantly now looking for his mistakes. I may be biased but I definitely think he is the reason we lost.
Thad picked up two quick fouls early and Mo sat him, which I don't agree with at all. He's a sub, leave him out there, the odds of him fouling out in his limited minutes are very slim. 13 minutes is just way too few for him.
When he first came into the game, when the team was completely stagnant, the Sixers went on a quick 4-0 run. They should've gone to him earlier and more often. Make something happen, even if you have to put him on Amare.
Evans did have one of his best games of the year, though, so I guess that might've had something to do with it. What I don't get is why Mo didn't try to go big for a little while at least, when it was pretty obvious the other lineups weren't working.
I'll say this; the sixers losses the last 2 months are a product of falling behind BIG just like you said. Starting willie AND evans at the same time is the culprit. Mo needs to stop messing around with this, pronto. Thad needs to start - willie needs to sit. They need Thad's energy from the beginning and he needs 25-30 mins.
Fast eddie had better find a taker for willie this summer before I break my TV next season - after he forces up his 6 straight horrible shot during the home opener.
The problem with Willie is that when he's playing well, for him, the team breaks even. He scores enough to make up for what he takes away, it's basically a zero sum game. When he's not playing well, he kills them on both ends of the floor. For a long time, he was playing well enough where he didn't matter. He'd give them points in bunches, his man would score. The rest of the team could just go about its business. They can't do that now. He couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, he can't defend. They have to pick up for him on both ends of the floor.
Like I said before, they don't really have a choice right now, though. He has to play, they have to get those minutes from somewhere, and they don't have another option unless you're going to push That to 35 minutes/game and Carney to 30. If you do that, you aren't going to be able to run, or defend, the way you do now. The rotation has to be deep. The one thing Mo needs to do is realize what's going on early in the first quarter. If he sees the team off to one of those horrendous starts, he needs to get Thad and/or Carney in there right away. Don't let it become a 10-point deficit in the first quarter before you start making subs.

Which of the following may not qualify as a falsifiable claim?
Student Answer: Your luck will improve.
Your house will be sold tomorrow.
Granite is more dense than sand.
Smoking may cause heart disease
I am not certain how one could prove the first and the last as true/untrue. The second and third are rather easy to prove/disprove.
the answer is apparently number one, and I choose number three as being not falsifiable. I am currently arguing my point and could use some support. My proof that three of the four claims are falsifiable are as follows. My luck may improve or it may not. I could die immediately after you say the word improve. My house may sell or it may not, and smoking may cause heart diesease or it may not. Seem reasonable so far. Now, we are left with granite, which is clearly more dense than any sand on the face of the earth. What am I missing here. I certainly appreciate your input.
I brought a pair of shoes from that store that immediately fell apart. their shoes are no good. Does this falls under Begging the question fallacy?

Bethesda teasing new game?
April 17th, 2013, 02:19
I didn't know if this hould go in General RPG or Non-RPG. Feel free to move it. Bethesda is teasing a new game. They originally posted it on Vine but I can't link to that. This is a screencap on yoututbe from that Vine clip. It's apparently not a new fallout game. Pete Hines confirmed that on twitter. I've read speculation that it might be a new Arcanum game and that Bethesda owns the rights to Arcanum. Is there any truth to that?

After teasing the Slamdance crowd at its January premiere, male stripper docu La Bare has unzipped its first trailer. True Blood's Joe Manganiello, who played Big Dick Richie in Steven Soderbergh and Channing Tatum's Magic Mike, directed the pic and produced with brother Nick for their 3:59 Inc shingle. Main Street Films snapped up N.A. and China rights and set a June 27 theatrical release for the film, which goes behind the curtain at La Bare Dallas, the most popular male strip club in the world:
Hot Trailer: Joe Manganiello's Male Stripper Docu 'La Bare'
9 Comments
Why is the camera so shaky? How am I supposed to fap to this?
Thanks for this, Joe M. With all the issues in need of illumination you courageously champion the oft overlooked world of male stripping and all that entails. Can't wait for the interviews so you can really plum the depths. Hey, they're people too, right? Well, sort of….
Many of the dancers at La Bare also work(ed) at Zippers and other gay clubs in Dallas – even the non-gay performers because the money is good. Also, La Bare is located in an area frequented by prostitutes, formerly and predominately walking Dallas' Northwest Highway – where La Bare is located – and now trending toward soliciting online from motels in the area. No judgments about that here, but it'll be interesting to see if those topics are covered or whether this leans to "reality show" dramatics and audience wish fulfillment, as did the generally well-done Magic Mike to some extent.
Thank God someone mentioned this. Most of these guys are working boys and they know who tips better. The absence of gay men and gay customers in "Magic Mike" was unrealistic although it fit that film's theme of repressed homosexuality.
No question about it. A bigger industry than the females and a ton of man action from men who don't consider themselves homosexual. I'm not passing judgements either, as many friends of mine partook in these events in both Florida and New Orleans. But I am interested to see if this is truly explored in the documentary or will it be a lukewarm representation of the truth?
So True Blood finally let up and let him fit this into his busy schedule? What gives?
Final season of True Blood and Joe M.'s got bills to pay.
That's good that movies about male strippers like Magic Mike and La Bare are appearing now! It gives an idea how a male stripper carrier really looks like!
I like it

from The Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin
by James Parton
Boston: James R. Osgood, 1864.
Part 6
September, October, and November, 1777, were anxious months with the servants of Congress in Europe. Not a decisive word of General Burgoyne or General Howe had reached them. Dr. Franklin, I think, must have derived some comfort from reading the exceedingly absurd and pompous Proclamation with which General Burgoyne had begun his southward march into the State of New York. If he had had the privilege of reading as many productions of that kind as the people of the United States have been favored with in recent years, he would, probably, have dismissed all apprehensions of danger from a General capable of opening a difficult campaign with a burst of swelling and boastful words. It was only Napoleon who could both brag and conquer; and Napoleon was then a boy of nine, at school in Corsica. Nevertheless, General Burgoyne's comic opening paragraph was founded on grim fact. "The forces intrusted to my command," said he, "are designed to act in concert, and upon a common principle, with the numerous armies and fleets which already display in every quarter of America the power, the justice, and, when properly sought, the mercy of the king." (1) So, if General Burgoyne should fight no better than he wrote, there were still General Howe, Sir Henry Clinton, and the fleet.
Nor was the prospect cheering in Europe. No more little naval triumphs; no more prizes; no more privateering; no hope of burning Liverpool and Glasgow; for a strong squadron of British men-of-war cruised off the mouth of the Loire, and shut up the American vessels in Nantes, as though the port were blockaded. Besides, worthy Captain Wickes was drowned; brave Johnson and Nicholson were languishing in British prisons; the bold Conyngham had been obliged at last to fly from British waters; and the alert Hammond had been taken on his way home. In September, too, the envoys had spent all their money; Beaumarchais, all his; Thomas Morris, all the public money under his control; no cargoes came to their relief; and there were contractors, commissioners, captains, crews, agents, clerks, servants, prisoners escaped from England, a hungry and clamorous host, all looking to the envoys for payment or daily bread. In such dire extremity were they at one time, that Dr. Franklin proposed that they should sell part of the clothing and arms that were waiting for shipment at Nantes. (2) They concluded, at length, after many long conferences, to lay the state of their affairs before the King of France; to press him to acknowledge the independence of the United States; and grant them a loan that would really relieve them, say fourteen millions of francs. They also offered to sell the king the frigate they were building in Holland, which, they feared, they would never be able to finish and equip in that cautious, Britain-fearing country. A mémoire to this effect was drawn up, which their banker, Mr. Grand, conveyed to the Count de Vergennes on the twenty-fifth of September. The minister engaged to have it immediately translated, and to present it to the king.
September 29th, arrived at Passy a Captain from America with dispatches; but, alas! they proved to be merely duplicates of those last received. Arthur Lee, however, received a private letter, one paragraph of which he read to his colleagues. He made this entry in his diary the next day: "I read a paragraph to the commissioners, in my brother Richard Henry Lee's letter, stating that without an alliance with France and Spain, with a considerable loan to support their funds, it would be difficult to maintain their independence. Resolved to send Mr. Grand next day to Count Vergennes, for an answer to the mémoire." Mr. Grand went, accordingly. He reported that the count had not yet laid the mémoire before the king, but would do so ere long; that he "seemed to think fourteen millions of francs a great demand;" and that, as to the proposed recognition, it would involve all Europe without materially helping America. The ministers also reproved the envoys for "the unguarded manner in which they did business," saying that "Lord Stormont had apprised Mons. Maurepas that a mémoire was intended before it was presented." "Mr. Grand," continues Arthur Lee, "communicated these things to me in private, and I desired him to do it to all the commissioners together, that it might suggest to them some caution in the conduc t of our affairs, which were open to all the world. He did so; and it was considered as a pretext for refusing to assist us by one, and as an unjust accusation by the other. It was said that if Lord Stormont had such information from some one about us, he would not have told it, because that would prevent any further communication, and therefore it seemed improbable that Lord Stormont had told them so. Mr. Lee said, that in these cases Lord Stormont's object was to excite distrust and destroy all confidence between them, which it appeared he, aided by other things, had but too well effected."
It was on the first of October that Mr. Grand conveyed to the envoys this discouraging report of his interview with the minister. Day after day, week after week passed, and yet no answer to their mémoire came.
We have a specimen of Dr. Franklin's conversation at this dark time, the preservation of which we owe to Arthur Lee; for even Arthur Lee could not, at all times, resist the charms of Dr. Franklin's conversation; and he records in his diary some interesting particulars of several interviews. October 25th, the application to the French court for pecuniary aid being still unanswered, Mr. Lee and Dr. Franklin fell into conversation at Passy upon the state of affairs. Upon reaching home, Mr. Lee made an unusually long entry in his journal, recording chiefly what Franklin had said.
"He seemed to agree with me," wrote Mr. Lee, "in thinking that France and Spain mistook their interest and opportunity in not making an alliance with us now, when they might have better terms than they could expect hereafter. That it was well for us they left us to work out our own salvation; which the efforts we had hitherto made, and the resources we had opened, gave us the fairest reason to hope we should be able to do. He told me the manner in which the whole of this business had been conducted, was such a miracle in human affairs, that if he had not been in the midst of it, and seen all the movements, he could not have comprehended how it was effected. To comprehend it we must view a whole people for some months without any laws or government at all. In this state their civil governments were to be formed, an army and navy were to be provided by those who had neither a ship of war, a company of soldiers, nor magazines, arms, artillery or ammunition. Alliances were to be formed, for they had none. All this was to be done, not at leisure nor in a time of tranquillity and communication with other nations, but in the face of a most formidable invasion, by the most powerful nation, fully provided with armies, fleets, and all the instruments of destruction, powerfully allied and aided, the commerce with other nations in a great measure stopped up, and every power from whom they could expect to procure arms, artillery, and ammunition, having by the influence of their enemies forbade their subjects to supply them on any pretense whatever. Nor was this all; they had internal opposition to encounter, which alone would seem sufficient to have frustrated all their efforts. The Scotch, who in many places were numerous, were secret or open foes, as opportunity offered. The Quakers, a powerful body in Pennsylvania, gave every opposition their art, abilities, and influence could suggest. To these were added all those whom contrariety of opinion, tory principles, personal animosities, fear of so dreadful and dubious an undertaking, join with the artful promises and threats of the enemy, rendered open or concealed opposers, or timid neutrals, or lukewarm friends to the proposed revolution. It was, however, formed and established in despite of all these obstacles, with an expedition, energy, wisdom, and success, of which most certainly the whole history of human affairs has not, hitherto, given an example. To account for it we must remember that the revolution was not directed by the leaders of faction, but by the opinion and voice of the majority of the people; that the grounds and principles upon which it was formed were known, weighed, and approved by every individual of that majority. It was not a tumultuous resolution, but a deliberate system. Consequently, the feebleness, irresolution, and inaction which generally, nay, almost invariably attends and frustrates hasty popular proceedings, did not influence this. On the contrary, every man gave his assistance to execute what he had soberly determined, and the sense of the magnitude and danger of the undertaking served only to quicken their activity, rouse their resources, and animate their exertions. Those who acted in council bestowed their whole thoughts upon the public; those who took the field did so with what weapons, ammunition, and accommodation they could procure. In commerce, such profits were offered as tempted the individuals of almost all nations to break through the prohibition of their governments, and furnish arms and ammunition, for which they received from a people ready to sacrifice every thing to the common cause, a thousand fold. The effects of anarchy were prevented by the influence of public shame, pursuing the man who offered to take a dishonest advantage of the want of law. So little was the effects of this situation felt, that a gentleman, who thought their deliberations on the establishment of a form of government too slow, gave it as his opinion that the people were likely to find out that laws were not necessary, and might therefore be disposed to reject what they proposed, if it were delayed. Dr. Franklin assured me that upon an average he gave twelve hours in the twenty-four to public business. One may conceive what progress must be made from such exertions of such an understanding, aided by the co-operation of a multitude of others upon such business, not of inferior abilities. The consequence was, that in a few months the governments were established; codes of law were formed, which, for wisdom and justice, are the admiration of all the wise and thinking men in Europe. Ships of war were built, a multitude of cruisers were fitted out, which have done more injury to the British commerce than it ever suffered before. Armies of offense and defense were formed, and kept the field, through all the rigors of winter, in the most rigorous climate. Repeated losses, inevitable in a defensive war, as it soon became, served only to renew exertions that quickly repaired them. The enemy was everywhere resisted, repulsed, or besieged. On the ocean, in the channel, in their very ports, their ships were taken, and their commerce obstructed. The greatest revolution the world ever saw is likely to be effected in a few years; and the power that has for centuries made all Europe tremble, assisted by 20,000 German mercenaries, and favored by the universal concurrence of Europe to prohibit the sale of warlike stores, the sale of prizes, or the admission of the armed vessels of America, will be effectually humbled by those whom she insulted and injured, because she conceived they had neither spirit nor power to resist or revenge it."
A valuable passage; which it was a virtuous action in Mr. Arthur Lee to preserve. He had formed the intention of writing a history of the Revolution, and this, I presume, was to be used as "material."
A few days after this conversation, Mr. Grand announced to the envoys that the king would buy their frigate; and, in addition, would make them a further loan of three millions of francs; and endeavor to induce the King of Spain to do the same. He would, moreover, engage never to leave them unprovided with sufficient means to pay the interest of their debt.
This timely, but inadequate, relief, raised the hopes of the Americans only for a short time; for, soon came tidings from England, that the city of Philadelphia had fallen (September 20th) into the hands of General Howe. Franklin turned it off with a joke, but it is evident that the news (though not implicitly believed) dashed the spirits of the whole circle. "Well, doctor," said an Englishman to Franklin, "Howe has taken Philadelphia." "I beg your pardon, sir," was the reply, "Philadelphia has taken Howe." (3) Which proved true, for he was effectually shut up in Philadelphia for many months. Dr. Franklin was not yet aware that his daughter, with an infant four days old, had again been removed from the city, and that British Captain André was quartered in his house, playing with his electrical apparatus, his musical glasses, his harps, harpsichords, viols, and books.
November 27th, the three envoys met at Passy to consult upon what they should say to Congress in their next dispatches. Mr. Deane, who had both to share and console the distress of Beaumarchais (he alone being concerned with that lively, but now disconsolate, personage), was much disheartened. Mr. Lee has recorded the substance of the conversation:
"Mr. Deane began the discourse; he remarked upon the proceedings of this court with a good deal of ill-humor and discontent; said he thought it was our duty to state the whole to Congress; that things seem to be going very badly in America; they would be less provided for next campaign, and more pressed than ever. He, therefore, was of opinion we should lay before this court such a statement as would produce a categorical answer to the proposition of an alliance, or satisfy them that without an immediate interposition, we must accommodate with Great Britain.
"Dr. Franklin was of a different opinion; he could not consent to state that we must give up the contest without their interposition, because the effect of such a declaration upon them was uncertain; it might be taken as a menace, it might make them abandon us in despair or in anger. Besides, he did not think it true; he was clearly of opinion that we could maintain the contest, and successfully too, without any European assistance; he was satisfied, as he had said formerly, that the less commerce or dependence we had upon Europe, the better, for that we should do better without any connection with it.
"Mr. Lee was against any such declaration, lest it might deprive them of the assistance they now received, instead of increasing it. He thought this court had acted uniformly and consistently with their declarations; that the violent things done were of necessity, and compelled by the bad conduct of our people; (4) that we ought to instruct those who were going to America to avoid speaking with bitterness against this country, but rather to soften the resentment of others, arising from considering the injuries and not the benefits we had received from France; he was of opinion that if the credit of their funds was maintained, all would go well; he therefore proposed informing them that the commissioners had funded two millions of livres, to pay the interest of what they borrowed, or bills drawn upon emergent occasions. This, with attention to sending the cannon and clothes, which were ordered, would, it seemed to him, put them on much more firm and respectable ground than ever, and he saw not the least reason to despair of success. Mr. Deane objected to reserving any of the money received, and to giving Congress any power for money here. He said the court had promised to enable them to pay the interest of what they borrowed, and that was enough; for he knew that if Congress were allowed to draw, they would never rest till they had drawn for every farthing, and that as we were to furnish them with what was necessary there would be no occasion for it. Mr. Lee replied that there was uncertainty in our supplies reaching them, and it might well happen that prevalent as the spirit was of sending adventures to America, they might make offers of these very necessaries upon the spot, which it might not be in their power to pay for in produce, while their ports were blocked up, and which they might purchase by bills on Europe. Dr. Franklin appeared to agree with Mr. Deane, and it seemed settled that they were to trust to the promise of the minister for paying the interest of their debt; though Mr. Lee observed that promise was vague and verbal," etc., etc.; Mr. Lee continuing, for some time, to multiply objections, and imagine difficulties.
This dismal conversation, it is interesting to know, occurred as late as November 27th, only seven days before the arrival at Passy of Mr. Austin, the messenger sent to convey to the envoys the news of General Burgoyne's surrender, and of General Washing ton's spirited and all but successful attack upon the British forces at Germantown!

3. Related by Lafayette to Fanny Wright; by her to Jeremy Bentham. — "Bowring's Bentham" x., 527.
4. Mr. Lee alludes here to the exploits of Captain Wickes and Captain Conyngham; which exploits he frequently denounces in his letters home, attributing them to the interested machinations of Deane, Beaumarchais, and Williams. He was not aware, perhaps, that there was a party in the French Cabinet and Court which desired such irregularities.

1-wire, Node-Red, Domoticz & Grafana0
Recently I posted a shiny graph of my garage temperature after I'd put a car with a hot engine in there. The spikes were fairly pronounced, and it was possibly to see where I'd left the door open whilst I worked on the car, before going for a test drive in the evening.

I was subsequently asked…
@kylegordon Tell me more about this grafna setup. Are you using a Raspberry PI?
— Brian Christner (@idomyowntricks) September 1, 2016
tl;dr 1-Wire -> ESP8266 -> MQTT -> Node-Red -> MQTT -> Domoticz -> MQTT -> Node-Red -> InfluxDB -> Grafana
It starts out simply enough, with a string of DS18B20 1-wire sensors hooked up to a WeMos D1 Mini NodeMCU board. On that board, there's a copy of https://github.com/kylegordon/mqtt_esp8266_ds1820_arduino flashed onto, and it scans the bus periodically, reads the values, and publishes them to an MQTT broker. Each ROM ID (1-wire device) gets its own topic, and a plain number is published to the relevant topic.
My home automation controller of choice is Domoticz , and it likes a particular flavour of JSON being published on the /domoticz/in topic. This is where Node-Red steps in to do a translation.
[{"id":"aa0d4469.8e7458″,"type":"mqtt in","z":"d5caab33.2a3558″,"name":"esp8266 on temp/#","topic":"temp/#","qos":"2″,"broker":"66a92c76.9956d4″,"x":117,"y":349,"wires":[["5f4ec201.7bbdac"]]},{"id":"5f4ec201.7bbdac","type":"function","z":"d5caab33.2a3558″,"name":"Device to IDX","func":"temp = msg.payload/16;\nrom_id = msg.topic.split(\"/\")[1];\n\nmsg.payload = {};\nswitch (rom_id) {\n case \"28b8c81d300e5\":\n msg.payload.idx = 186;\n break;\n case \"28ac871d300e4\":\n msg.payload.idx = 187;\n break;\n}\nmsg.payload.rom_id = rom_id;\ntemp = temp.toString();\nmsg.payload.svalue = temp;\n\n\nreturn msg;","outputs":1,"noerr":0,"x":347,"y":348,"wires":[["71da0e3.d7e8ff"]]},{"id":"71da0e3.d7e8ff","type":"mqtt out","z":"d5caab33.2a3558″,"name":"","topic":"domoticz/in","qos":"","retain":"","broker":"66a92c76.9956d4″,"x":535,"y":349,"wires":[]},{"id":"66a92c76.9956d4″,"type":"mqtt-broker","z":"","broker":"homeauto.vpn.glasgownet.com","port":"1883″,"clientid":"","usetls":false,"compatmode":true,"keepalive":"15″,"cleansession":true,"willTopic":"","willQos":"0″,"willPayload":"","birthTopic":"","birthQos":"0″,"birthPayload":""}]
In short, this flow subscribes to all messages on temp/#, takes the payload and topic, and formulates a JSON message with the correct IDX. The IDX is the unique ID for a virtual device (in this case, a temperature sensor) in Domoticz. The JSON message is then published on /domoticz/in, where it is consumed by Domoticz and used for its own home automation purposes.
Now, every value of every device in Domoticz is also published on /domoticz/out. I use this for a few MQTT to Python services I run, but I also have another Node-Red flow that takes the Domoticz JSON messages and inserts them into InfluxDB. This flow was taken from here and relies on the node-red-contrib-influxdb node.
The rest is plain sailing really – there's a Grafana install that is configured to use InfluxDB as a datasource. Grafana can extract the data using the IDX that's mentioned above, and will display it in a nice fashion.
SELECT mean("svalue1") FROM "domoticz" WHERE "idx" = '171' AND $timeFilter GROUP BY time($interval) fill(null)
Job done.
MQTT to Zabbix Gateway0
For a while now I've been wanting to try and monitor home automation parameters by using Zabbix. I already use it to monitor, graph and alert on servers and services at work and at home, so it was a logical extension to use it for home automation. I hope to deploy TinyTX sensors around the house, and by using my mqtt-rfm12b gateway I *should* be able monitor and alert on their battery voltages when things start to run a bit low. Firstly though, something is required to push the data from MQTT to Zabbix.
The first thing that you'll need is a working Zabbix instance. This is somewhat outside the scope of this blog post, and the documentation is fairly good. You'll need a host configured, so add one and give it a name, or alternatively use localhost that I think Zabbix comes preconfigured with.
Clone my mqtt-zabbix repository, and you'll find a XML Zabbix template that can be imported into your Zabbix install (import via Configuration -> Templates). It won't do anything drastic other than 10 or so Zabbix keys.
Once the import is completed, Configuration -> Templates will contain a template called "Template App MQTT". This has the 10 items, all of which can be edited to suit. The important part is the "Key" – which must match what you put in the keys.csv later on. Simply put, when Zabbix receives data with a specific key, it gets stored against the item with that key defined. It's not terribly complicated 🙂
If you're happy with Zabbix and the template import, follow the mqtt-zabbix README to get the rest of it installed. It's really just a glorified script with some init scripts. Put all the files in the right places, edit keys.csv to match between your MQTT topic and your Zabbix key name, and start the application.
mqtt-zabbix subscribes to the root wildcard topic at /# so possibly isn't very efficient on systems with massive amounts of traffic, but for home use it's quite sufficient. I may change this method of working at a later date. In the meantime, the moment something arrives at your topic it will be forwarded on to Zabbix. A log of the event will also be found at /var/log/mqtt-zabbix.log and it will tell you if the key was successfully inserted or not.
To view your data in Zabbix, click on the host, click on Latest Data, and it should be listed under – Other -. You can then choose the graph option on the right, or you can edit your own custom graphs and include the MQTT items.
Automated Kitchen Lighting2
Recently I decided to make some changes to the kitchen. It started off with a strip of warm white LEDs, and I thought "Wouldn't it be cool if…". I've now lost count of the number of guests asking how it works 🙂
There's a variety of components at play here. Firstly, there's a Raspberry Pi, followed up by a simple IRF530 MOSFET, a PNP transistor to pull it low, a PIR sensor, and a strip of LEDs.
It's a a PIR sensor from Seeedstudio that I bought on a whim a while back. It handily runs off of 5v, and returns a 3.3v TTL compatible signal upon detection of movement.
On the Raspberry Pi, I have my own Python app, mqtt-gpio-trigger, running. It continuously monitors pins that are defined in the config file, and in the event of a change of state of any of them it will publish a message to a predefined topic, with the pin number as the final component of the topic, and the message contains the state of the PIN. Simply subscribe to that topic to watch whatever pin on the Raspberry Pi.
A strip of warm white LED lights are attached to pin 18 of the Raspberry Pi, via the IRF530 MOSFET. There's a bog standard NPN transistor to help saturate the gate of the MOSFET, and it's pin 18 as that's the only pin on the Raspberry Pi that does hardware PWM. Using any of the other pins subjects you to vagaries of the CPU.
Controlling pin 18 is mqtt-pwm-lights, another one of my scripts. It simply sits and runs, and subscribes to yet another MQTT topic. When it receives a message with a value between 0 and 512, it fades the lights to that value. Due to the NPN transistor it's inverted, so 512 is off, and 0 is on. A minor annoyance, but the home automation controller handles that.
In the middle
Producing the show is a small script that isn't public. All it does is listen for MQTT events and reply with canned MQTT messages in return. It's a stopgap measure until I find a better home automation controller. The main role of the script at the moment is to listen to events from the PIR, start a timer when triggered, and publish a lighting level request. When the timer expires, the lighting level returns to normal (ie, off)
So that's it. Ambient automated lighting for the kitchen, and worktop lighting, all rolled into one.

Thinkpad X201S Fan Control0
I noticed the other day (it was kind of hard to not notice, to be honest) that my laptop shut down abruptly when it overheated. This shouldn't be the case, as the thermal controls on the mainboard should have spun up the fans.
After some poking around, I found that with the default 'auto' fan control, the top speed of 'level 7' only spins the fans around 4000RPM, even though when the feedback loop is disengaged (echo level disengaged > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan" they can spin up to 7000RPM, and bring the temperature down from the critical 100C mark.
This bug report suggests that something is completely amiss with the kernels thinkpad_acpi module, and nobody really knows why. The end result is that fans spin too slow on the Thinkpad range of laptops. This can, however, be resolved with a couple of edits and an additional package. The following instructions were tested on Ubuntu 12.10, most likely work exactly the same on all Debian versions and derivatives, and can be adapted for use on other Linux distros as well.
Firstly, enabled userland control of the Thinkpad fans with the following command –
echo options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1 >> /etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad.conf
rmmod thinkpad_acpi
modprobe thinkpad_acpi
This will enable the new settings for your current session, and all future sessions too.
You should now be able to set the fan speed manually with commands such as –
echo level 0 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
echo level 7 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
echo level disengaged > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
echo level auto > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
The key bit here is to remember that 'disengaged' equates to '127' on the grand scale of speeds.
Next step is to install the thinkfan package, and enable automatic startup –
apt-get -y install thinkfan
sed -i s/START=no/START=yes/ /etc/default/thinkfan
Now, as above, the default fan speeds are too slow. So even if thinkfan commands a level 7 fan speed, it won't be fast enough to keep your hardware cool. To make it run up to full speed, you have to disengage the feedback loop and let it run in failsafe mode. Don't worry though, thinkfan will bring it back into 'auto' mode once temperatures are back to normal, so you can have normal battery life and normal noise levels once your compute process is complete.
Edit /etc/thinkfan.conf, and at the end adjust the endpoint for level 7, and insert a new line for fan speed 127. My thinkfan.conf is as below –
(0, 0, 55)
(1, 48, 60)
(2, 50, 61)
(3, 52, 63)
(4, 56, 65)
(5, 59, 66)
(7, 63, 66)
(127, 66, 32767)
Save thinkfan.conf, and start thinkfan with this
/etc/init.d/thinkfan start
Once 66C is passed, it will enter disengaged mode, and run at full speed until it reaches 66C or below again.
My aging quad core i7 2.13GHz laptop will happily run BOINC now, at 97C, so I say it's working 🙂

Quick and simple this one is. I have a DS9490R (internally it's a DS1490F) one-wire bus master attached to my Raspberry Pi. 4 DS18B20 temperature sensors are hanging off the bus, and I'd like to access them from the home automation server.
On the Raspberry Pi, or the server/device that's hosting the 1-Wire bus:
apt-get install owserver ow-shell
modprobe ds1wm
echo "ds1wm" >> /etc/modules
Edit /etc/owfs.conf such that the following parameters are entered. I'd advise commenting out the rest (at least, the rest of the server: directives)
! server: server = localhost:4304
server: usb = all
server: w1
server: port = 0.0.0.0:4304
Restart the 1-Wire server
/etc/init.d/owserver restart
All being well, the following command should output a listing of all the devices on the bus.
owdir -s localhost:4304 /
On the remote server, simply use the following command to read the data.
owread -s kitchenpi.vpn.glasgownet.com:4304 /28.DDBF1D030000/temperature

Broccoli as winter greens for chickens
Around the middle of
January, I decided our broccoli plants weren't going to make anything
else edible for humans. The plants had served us well, providing
a big head apiece and then lots of little side
shoots for late fall
suppers. But now, nightly lows were getting cold enough to nip
back any new side shoots before they could develop.
I figured I might as
well give the chickens whatever remained of the plants. I've had
chickens peck up broccoli leaves quite happily in the past, and if
nothing else, the plants will add to the deep bedding in the
coops. I'd originally planned to cut the broccoli off at soil
level, but that as much more difficult than yanking out the main root
bundle with a twist and pull. I even hunted down some nice clumps
of chickweed for dessert.
My timing was good
because it set in to rain soon thereafter, and then to snow. Our
flock didn't want to leave the coop, but the garden goodies gave them
something to peck through during their spare time.
Our chicken waterer keeps drinking water clean even when the coop is congested.

State Farm Expands Partnership with
College; Investment Supports New Classroom Space
State Farm and the State Farm Companies Foundation have pledged $500,000 to
support the College's $75 million fund-raising initiative, Investing in
Excellence. The gift, to be made over five years, will fund classroom space
in the new Business Instructional Facility.
The State Farm Companies Foundation supports efforts of excellence in higher education throughout central Illinois and the nation. "Our support of the University of Illinois' Business Instructional Facility is a serious response to a workforce issue. The Foundation is pleased to assist the U of I College of Business as it prepares and educates our future labor force," said Mike Fernandez, Vice President, State Farm Corporate Communications and External Relations.
"This is a significant investment in the College," said Avijit Ghosh, dean of the College of Business at the University of Illinois. "We are excited by and proud of our partnership with State Farm. The firm's involvement in the Insurance and Risk Management Program and the Research Park has benefited our programs, our students, our faculty, and the firm."
Stephen D'Arcy, the John C. Brogan Faculty Scholar in Risk Management and a professor of finance in the College of Business, echoed those sentiments.
"Clearly, this partnership will benefit both the corporate partners and the University," he said. "In today's fast-changing business environment, risk managers and insurers need to have access to quality, independent research on the major issues they face. Such research can be essential both for making appropriate decisions and for citing as authoritative work in regulatory and court hearings. By creating a partnership between industry and the University, corporate partners can direct research on the most critical issues they are facing, participate in the research process by providing their expertise, and have initial access to the results of the research programs."
The State Farm gift is particularly important to the College because it supports classroom space – a premium commodity on campus. The new facility, scheduled to open in Fall 2008, will provide 160,000+ square feet of space to accommodate 18 state-of-the-art classrooms, career development and academic counseling centers, student program offices, a recruitment suite, a 300-seat auditorium, and space for students to meet and study.
"The facility is intended to enrich the student experience at Illinois," Ghosh said. "This gift directly influences the quality of our programs. We're delighted that State Farm is supporting this fundamental aspect of business education."

Targeting Reciprocal Links
Reciprocal linking is one of the most effective ways of driving targeted mass numbers of people to your website, however in order to be successful you've to carefully target and choose the sites you want to link with.
What you need to be doing is focusing on linking to similar high-traffic quality sites which will interest your visitors and which complement your site, not compete with it. Sending visitors to a competing site with a similar product is a big mistake because the chances are good that they'll buy your their product and not yours.
Try not to down-link which is what I call it when a site links with a site with far less traffic than it. Always aim to up-link with a few high traffic sites rather than a bunch of low traffic ones. The results are much better.
My favorite and first thing to do when looking for sites to target is to try a take traffic away from my competition. I do this by visiting http://www.altavista.com/ or any other search engine which will tell me which sites link to which.
Imagine for example you knew your competition was www.xyz.com. You would go to Altavista and type in link:competition.com leaving out the http://www. part. To follow the above format you'd type in link:xyz.com and do the search, Altavista will return all the sites in its database that link to www.xyz.com.These are the first few sites you want to link to because you know they're sending traffic and business to your competition and you want a piece of action too. Chances are if these sites link to your competitor they'll link to you too.
Depending on the industry of your business and your competitor, he or she could have hundreds of links so be prepared to be held up for quite some time. It's well worth it however because you're effectively taking visitors away from your competitors site by having your link wherever their link is.
The next way you can target sites to link with is by visiting one of the major search sites, either Yahoo.com or Google.com. The advantage these two sites have over other search sites when it comes to targeting links is that usually results from these are of a very high standard. In Yahoo.com's case it's because all sites are reviewed by a human editor and in Google.com's case it's because they use link popularity as one of the main factors of relevancy when returning results from a search meaning only good quality sites are returned.
You're on either Google.com or Yahoo.com, now enter keywords and keyphrases which relate to the theme of your website, remember you don't want to link to competitive sites so try not to be too specific on your search term. If I was doing this I wouldn't enter 'Internet marketing articles' because chances are most results would be competitive sites, I'd enter in 'Internet marketing' because it's a wide area but still related to my website theme and not necessarily competing with me. The sites that show up for these results are prime targets. Ask for links with these guys, next you can target the guys who have links to them. The possibilities are endless.

Targeting Reciprocal Links
Friday, June 09, 2006
Increasing your search engine ranking is our topic. A high search engine ranking for your website is so essential that if you have the slightest desire to actually succeed in your
business, there is no way you can continue to avoid this issue.
At least 85% of people looking for goods and services on the Internet find websites through search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN. The idea of optimizing your pages for high search engine rankings is to attract targeted customers to your site who will be more than likely to make a purchase. The higher your page comes up in search engine results, the greater the traffic that is directed to your website. That's what search engine optimization is about.
You can immerse yourself in all the technical information available online to figure out how to optimize your web pages to achieve higher rankings. Or you can look at a few simple items on your pages, make some small adjustments, and most likely see improved rankings quite rapidly. The first item you should examine is the title bar on your homepage.
The title bar is the colored bar at the top of the page. Look at the words that appear there when you access your home page. To increase search engine rankings, the words on your homepage's title bar should include the most important keywords or phrases, one of which would include your company name.
Then click on all your links and examine the title bars on the pages you access. Each title bar on every single page of your site should contain the most important keywords and phrases taken from the page itself. However, avoid very long strings of keywords, keeping them to six words or less. Avoid repeating keywords more than once in the title bars, and make sure that identical words are not next to each other.
The next item to put under your microscope is your website content. Search engines generally list sites that contain quality content rather than scintillating graphics. The text on your site must contain the most important keywords - the words that potential customers will be typing into search engines to find your site.
Aim to have around 250 words on each page, but if this is not desirable due to your design, aim for at least 100 carefully chosen words. If you want to achieve a high ranking on search engines, this text is essential. However, the search engines must be able to read the text, meaning that the text must be in HTML and not graphic format.
To find out if your text is in HTML format, take your cursor and try to highlight a word or two. If you are able to do this, the text is HTML. If the text will not highlight, it is probably in graphic form. In this case, ask your webmaster to change the text into HTML format inorder to increase your search engine rankings.
Next we come to what is called meta tags. I know this sounds like something out of science fiction, but it is really just simple code. Many people believe that meta tags are the key to high search engine rankings, but in reality, they only have a limited effect. Still, it's worth adding them in the event that a search engine will use meta tags
in their ranking formula.
To find out if your page is set up with meta tags, you must access the code. To do this, click the "view" button on the browser menu bar, and select "source." This will pull up a window revealing the underlying code that created the page. If there are meta tags, they usually appear near the top of the window. For example, a meta tag would read: meta name="keywords" content=. If you do not find code that reads like this, ask your webmaster to put them in. This may not do much for your search engine rankings, but any little boost helps.
Lastly, we come to the issue of link popularity. This is a factor that is extremely important in terms of search engine rankings. Almost all search engines use link popularity to rank your website. Link popularity is based on the quality of the sites you have linked to from your links page.
If you type in "free link popularity check" in a popular search engine, the search engine will then show you what sites are linked to your site. In the case that there aren't many sites linked up to yours, or that the sites that are linked up have low search engine rankings, consider launching a link popularity campaign. Essentially, this entails contacting quality sites and requesting that they exchange links with your site. Of course, this requires checking out the rankings of the websites you want to link up with. Linking to popular, quality sites not only boosts your search engine ranking, but it also directs more quality traffic to your website.
Search engine rankings are extremely important for a successful Internet marketing campaign. Before you go out and hire a search engine optimization company, try taking some of the simple steps listed above, and see if you can't boost your rankings yourself. Don't ever ignore this all-important factor in Internet marketing. Remember, the higher your search engine ranking, the more quality customers will be directed your way.

How To Get Free Advertising For Your Website With Traffic Exchanges
Getting free advertising for your website is alot easier than you thought.
Your website needs lots of visitors (traffic) if you are going to make money from it. If you do not have a large advertising budget, traffic exchanges can be an effective way to advertise your site for free. Traffic exchanges, sometimes known as surfing sites, can bring a steady stream of visitors to your website, for no payment - very important for a business startup if you want to make money online from home.
There are two main types of traffic exchanges - manual exchanges and autosurf. A manual exchange requires you click a link after viewing every page, but you can log in to an auto exchange and leave your computer running. It is best to check every few minutes that all is well, to ensure you get your credits.
When you join a traffic exchange (usually free) you view other members' web pages in return for your own web page being displayed to other members in rotation. You log in to the exchange and surf, and you are credited for viewing other members' web pages. You allocate these surfing credits to your web pages so they will be displayed to other members.
There are some important elements in surfing for traffic, which may be new to you.
-- Paid/Pro Memberships - most traffic exchanges offer free membership with the optional paid upgrades. If you upgrade, you get extra benefits, possible an allocation of credits per month and a higher credit ratio for the pages you surf. You can also buy extra credits. You can decide whether a paid membership will help you after you have tried out free membership. I have usually found this gives enough credits.
-- Credit Surfing - all traffic exchanges allow you to earn credits in return for viewing other members' websites. Also look out for bonus credits: many exchanges will give you bonus credits for signing up, for surfing a certain number of pages, or they pop up as you surf, to see if you are paying attention.
-- Minimum Time Limit - you need to leave a site on your web browser for a minimum length of time before you earn acredit. This is normally up to 30 seconds.
-- Anti Cheat Mechanisms - to ensure that a real person is viewing your web site there are anti-cheating mechanisms.These mean that instead of clicking a "Next Site" button you have to click a specific icon such as a number, letter or picture, before you move onto the next site. If you fail this test repeatedly, your account will be terminated automatically, so pay attention!
-- Referrals - this is the fastest way to build up your credits. Most traffic exchanges provide you with referral pages and banners. You can use these to recruit yourself a downline. When someone signs up from your promotional web page or banner they are placed in your downline. This can earn you an immediate bonus plus a percentage of your downline credits, for example you get one credit for every 10 sites they surf.
There are hundreds of different traffic exchange websites. You can sign up for an account instantly, submit yourwebsite's URL and start surfing for credits. Some sites allow you to advertiseup to five web pages. I usually includemy homepage, plus pages promoting ebooks and free courses.
But the big question is - which traffic exchanges will give you results? Will you be promoting your website in the right places?
Traffic Hoopla (http://traffichoopla.com/cgi-bin/ref.cgi/21755/) produces regular reports to show the most productive and successful traffic exchanges to use. This report is updated weekly with the top 50 traffic exchanges and the top 10 new traffic exchanges. You can find out from this report who delivers the highest unique percentage of visitors and who will deliver quality traffic to your website. This will help you to decide,then you can sign up at the best traffic exchanges to get the biggest return for your efforts.
In the beginning you may want to set aside time to surf for credits - in fact some traffic exchanges require you tosurf a certain number of sites to activate your account. Most people find they can complete their surfing in less than an hour a day. In the longer term the best way to make traffic exchanges work for your benefit isto build your own downline. Then the credits increase as others do the clicking for you. You can recruit members by using the referral web pages of each of the traffic exchanges that you have signed up with or you can sign up with TrafficHoopla and advertise the 10 best traffic exchanges in one go. I have done this,and more than 50 people signed up under me in the first week. I now have a comfortable credit balance without needing to surf frequently, and I use my credits to promote my online businesses.

Let's talk about some of the off page optimization factors/techniques that you should never ever do. First let's dispel some popular myths.
1) If a "link farm" is linking to your website you'll get penalized and/or banned from Google FALSE
2) If unrelated websites are linking to you, your website will get penalized - FALSE
3) Page Rank 1 websites won't help you because Google does not display PR1 websites in their back link list - FALSE
None of the above are true statements for the simple fact that:
Anything a competitor could do to harm your website would NEVER be penalized by Google.
Think about it for a minute.If any of those could actually penalize your website, how many people do you think would simply add their competitor's websites from link farm websites,unrelated websites, and low PR websites? Unfortunately, it would be quite afew.
The only way you can getpenalized by off page optimization is if YOU link out to "bad neighborhoods", which would be:
1) Link Farms
2) Penalized websites(websites that are "gray barred" by Google)
Now, you would think this would be a pretty easy thing to stay away from, right? Wrong!
Take this case for example. Let's say I had a website and exchanged links with your website. At the time that we exchanged links, both of our websites were quality, related websites,with a Google Page Rank of 5. This would be an ideal link trade.
Ok, now several months go by, and in the meantime, I'm doing all kinds of "black-hat SEO"
Note: Black Hat SEO is simply doing all of the things that can get you banned by the search engines.
After doing all of this Black Hat SEO, Google decides to ban my website, which gives me a "graybarred Page Rank" and I'm no longer in Google's index of websites. I'm completely gone from Google. So what, right? I mean, you could care less sinceit's not your website...
Well, guess what? You are still linking to my website, which is now considered to be a "bad neighbor" and you could actually get penalized MAJORLY for linking to me,without even doing anything differently to your own website!
Think about that for a minute...
You could actually drop hundreds of search positions without even knowing what you've done wrong!
So what can you do? There is a software called SEO Elite (http://vizmon88.bryxen1.hop.clickbank.net) that allows you to see if you are linking out to any bad neighbors! If you are, thendelete their link immediately and I can almost guarantee you will see anincrease in your ranking.
There are various very useful options in this software. One of which allows you to check each website that you are linking to and tell you whether or not they could be a possible"bad neighbor". In one of the columns, if you notice any websites with a Google Page Rank of 0, this "could" mean they've been banned by Google. Notice I said "could". They could either be banned OR,more likely they're just a new website and their Page Rank hasn't been updatedby Google yet.
So, you'll want to write down which websites have a Page Rank of 0.
Then you'll need to select another option within SEO Elite. This option will allow you to see if the website is still in Google's index. You'll want to enter all PR0 websites into the text box, select the Google checkbox, and click "ok".
If Google returns 0 results for the website, that immediately tells you that they've been banned and youshould remove their link immediately!
You would be amazed at thenumber of websites that have no idea why they aren't ranking well, when they've followed ALL of the good SEO practices. If this is you and you're still not ranking well, I would venture to say that you might be linking out to a penalized and/or banned website.
SEOElite can be accessed at http://vizmon88.bryxen1.hop.clickbank.net/

Hot Stocks to Watch: Apple (AAPL)
Developers and consumers have criticized Apple (AAPL) for its "walled garden" approach to iOS. The locked-down mobile operating system keeps users from tinkering with their devices at anything but a superficial level, keeps key processes away from third-party app developers, can make it difficult for developers to get apps approved and makes it virtually impossible for iPhone and iPad owners to install apps outside of those offered through Apple's iTunes.
But that makes iOS a tougher nut to crack if you're up to no good — and that's why Schiller was tweeting about Android malware vulnerabilities.
Of course, Apple doubters will point out that the relatively low numbers of iOS devices in circulation are one reason hackers aren't targeting Apple products with the same persistence. But does that matter?
The iPhone and iPad offer the wealth of apps that BlackBerry (BBRY) and Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows lack, along with hardware design that (most) people still love, a massive accessories ecosystem and no cyber criminal target on their backs.
Whatever the reason — tougher security or a smaller target — Apple could back some of its market share if Android malware causes buyers to think twice about an Android smartphone or tablet. The end result? AAPL rounds out of list of hot stocks to watch if Android malware becomes an even bigger issue.
As of this writing, Brad Moon did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.
