text: SourceALLAHABAD, INDIA, January 16, 2013 (Daily Mail): The lost-and-found family drama is an everyday experience for those at the Maha Kumbh mela. A Bhoole Bhatke Shivir ("lost and found camp") is ready to help pilgrims locate each other within hours of getting lost in the crowds at the fair. The Shivir, meant for those separated from their families at the Kumbh, is marked by two huge yellow balloons with the words Bhoole Bhatke Shivir, which the pilgrims can see from a distance and reach for help. Since January 13, a day before Makar Sankranti, people who run the service have been flooded with panic-stricken visitors from different parts of the country. The block has policemen and volunteers helping out the visitors by making announcements on microphones. The mikes are connected to speakers that blare out messages across the huge expanse of the Kumbh's 700,000 tents and the area at the edge of the Sangam. People come in with chits bearing the names of those they were with and the names are read out. "In a day we get at least 500 cases," said Pushkar Upadhyay, a volunteer. There are rarely any cases of people not finding their group members.

HOUSTON - A Local 2 Investigates' analysis of Houston crime numbers is revealing certain Houston neighborhoods experienced much larger number of crimes last year than most neighborhoods.
Using crime data released by the Houston Police Department, Local 2 discovered the Sharpstown area had more total crimes than any other area of Houston in 2013.
Sharpstown is a sprawling neighborhood centered around the Southwest Freeway and Bellaire Boulevard. According to 2013 HPD statistics, Sharpstown had 502 burglaries, 256 robberies and 252 stolen cars.
"We've been broken into actually twice," said Charlie Lojo, a Sharpstown homeowner. "Now it seems like when you back out of your driveway, it's like OK is there anybody watching?"
Houston City Council Member Mike Laster says Sharpstown's high crime numbers are deceiving. Laster, who lives in Sharpstown, says 9,000 people pack each square mile in the area with many large apartment complexes. Laster says that's about three times more people per mile than most other Houston neighborhoods. More people, means more crime, Laster says.
"Sharpstown/Southwest Houston is no more crime ridden than other parts of the city," Laster said. "If fact, some other parts of the city with much less population have much more per capita crime."
When it comes to aggravated assaults, Local 2 Investigates discovered the Third Ward had the most, with 167 in 2013.
"At one time, I'd walk the walking trail or I'd walk to church," said Guyneph Williams, who lives in Third Ward. "I can't do that now at night because I'm afraid someone may want to attack me."
Other "hot spots" for aggravated assault include:
*The area HPD labels Westwood South -- near Bissonnet and Club Creek Dr. in far southwest Houston.
*The Kashmere neighborhood -- near the 610 North Loop and 59 Eastex Freeway.
When it comes to robbery, Sharpstown had the most, followed by what's labeled the Ranchester area, which includes Chinatown near the Westpark Tollway and South Gessner.
Two neighborhoods joined Sharpstown as "hot spots" for burglary:
*The area HPD labels Walnut Bend -- on Houston's west side near Westheimer and Wilcrest.
*The neighborhood around Dow Park -- near Hobby Airport.
Local 2 Investigates also checked which neighborhoods had more car and truck thefts.
The areas with the highest numbers for that crime were:
*Almeda Genoa, Almeda Mall

|Primary Completion Date:
|November 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Dalteparin
Dalteparin 200 IU/kg/day for three days prior to surgery and dalteparin 5000IU daily for 3-5 days post-surgery
Drug: Fragmin (dalteparin)
200 IU/Kg/Day administered subcutaneously for three days prior to but not including the day of the surgery

Tinzaparin 175 IU/kg/day for three days prior to surgery and Tinzaparin 4500 IU for 3-5 days post surgery
Drug: Innohep (tinzaparin)
175 IU/kg/Day administered subcutaneously for three days prior to but not including the day of the surgery
Detailed Description:
A prospective multicenter randomised trial involving 60 consecutive eligible and consenting patients from teaching hospitals in Canada. Patients will be randomised to either tinzaparin or dalteparin to investigate the pharmacokinetics of both low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) perioperatively in a special population, namely end stage renal disease (ESRD) dialysis patients.
To date although there exists evidence to suggest tinzaparin may be safe in patients on hemodialysis, LMWHs as a group have not been investigated in the perioperative setting in these patients. This protocol has been developed so that the pharmacokinetic behaviour of tinzaparin and dalteparin can be compared but also so that the duration off warfarin is minimised. Therapeutic doses of LMWH are administered pre-procedure during as much time of the period as possible that oral anticoagulation is sub-therapeutic.

PDF Report: Ability to have multiple PDF designs for one report.Asked by exsfvid on May 07, 2016 at 12:23 PM
JotForm team
I wonder if you can edit more than one pdf format from a form? ...
my idea is to edit more than one format for scheduling sending 2 different pdf mail notifications, you can do that?
JotForm Support
Unfortunately, you can only use 1 PDF template or format that you designed in the PDF Designer (Customize PDF). That format will be used in the attached PDF in email notifications or autoresponders and when you are downloading submission as PDF in the submissions area.
Thank you for understanding.
How do you request a feature change/addition. This option would be so helpful. I have 30 forms and at least half of them could use 2 PDF designs so appropriate information can be sent to the right people.
Right now I have to have our members fill out 2 different forms in order to send the SAME information to the correct people to use.
If I could have one form with 100 bits of information, and be able to design 2 or more PDFs for that form - I could split the 100 bits to whomever needs it - without sending them everything.
Right now I am custom designing the email notices to include what is needed. However, that can't easily be saved to a hard drive. If the person has outlook - saving a message is easy enough, but if they don't have outlook, it is hard to save to a hard drive. There are ways, but most of our users are not computer savvy enough to know how to do that!
PLEASE consider this as a feature update!
JotForm Support
Our forum is the right place to request features as well.
I will forward this thread to our second level as a feature request now so our developers may take this into consideration.
Although we cannot provide an ETA or ensure this will be implemented, we will let you know as soon as we receive updates regarding this.
Thanks for your suggestion.

I think we still have a long time 'till we ever get to see girl group idols show off their cleavage but we also all know that those same idols love showing off their flat abs and beautiful legs. SNSD's Yuri, Yoona and Seohyun flaunted their own curves for the Caribbean Bay CF. The girls along with 2PM have been garnering a ton of attention through this endorsement and it doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon. In these photos, you can see that they all have perfect stomachs. What guy wouldn't want them and what girl wouldn't want to be them? To be honest, we can't really call them curvy but I do admit that they have very fit bodies. I can't help but have a girl crush on Yuri. Who do you have a crush on, out of these three? [gallery]

Spongebob Does Death in the Latest Metal Mashup [VIDEO]
Subscribe to 106.3 The Buzz on
A few years back Spongebob introduced a whole lot of us to an up-and-coming deathcore band by the name of Job For A Cowboy and now he's returned to school the young 'uns on the brilliance of the late, great Chuck Schuldiner by covering Death's "Misanthrope".
I've heard more than once from reliable sources that Chuck was quite the stoner so I'll bet a dollar to a donut that he would've absolutely loved this video. Not that you have to be a stoner to enjoy it but let's be honest, stoners tend to be big fans of anything humorous and while some death metal purists might consider this video to be blasphemy, I think it's friggin' hilarious.
R.I.P. Chuck!

Mayhem # 119737
About Me
*My First Message*
I've just begun to explore the endless world of photography a few months ago. Since then I've been educating myself so that I'll be able to make a transition into the professional field in the near future.
I would like to use this portal to network with talented and creative people so that I can build a strong portfolio. I can't say that I have a particular style of photography, but I do enjoy adding a touch of digital imaging to enhance my photos.
If you are interested in working with me, please contact me through Model Mayhem's message service.
*My Updated Message*
It's been a little over a year now since I first began capturing images through photography and what I've experienced so far in my journey has been outstanding!
I've already had a few great opportunities that I was lucky enough to be involved with including a watch ad, 2 album shoots, 2 mixtape shoots and a few pages of editorial work.
My approach to art has always been vast, ever since my younger years, I've always enjoyed creating numerous styles of illustrations. When it came to photographer I also noticed that I don't have a particular style. The best way I can sum up my approach is to think "Surreal" and create an image that I'm pleased with.
Although I'm still learning on my own each day, my current focus is to learn hands on with professional photographers in order to get a better understanding of how the industry operates.
I'm still interested in using this portal for networking with talented and creative individuals, but due to time constraints, I have to be very selective with my creative [TFP/TFCD] projects - In order for the final product to work well, I will only cast models that will suit the look I'm going for based on a particular character I already have in mind.
If you are interested in booking me for a paid shoot, you may message me on Model Mayhem with your email and I'll send you my current rates. If you're interested in working with me on [TFP/TFCD] shoots, please message me and I'll add your profile to my [TFP/TFCD] folder.
Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to leave a comment and express interest in my work.
All the best

Views, Auto-Lightweight and the Modeler
In a previous post we saw how to create views and lightweight entities by using XML. Nowadays most of you are using the graphical modeler, so let's see how to create views.
First, let's create a simple model:
We can create a view that contains the supplier name and the country name. Select the supplier entity and click the "Add view" button from the ribbon:
You should see the following window:
Enter a valid name and select properties to include in the view. Only properties from the selected entity are shown. So to add the country name, we have to click the "Add" button and enter the binding expression "Country.Name" (auto completion prevents mistakes).
The « Auto infer lightweight entity » checkbox allows to generate an entity that contains selected properties. As the name suggests it's a light entity: it's not persistent, it has no CRUD methods (e.g. load, save, delete) nor extra properties by default, and it does not implement any interfaces other than the ICodeFluentLightEntity by default.
Now we can create a method that will load data from this view:
The generated code contains the SQL view :
CREATE VIEW [dbo].[vSupplierSupplierLight] AS SELECT [Supplier].[Supplier_Name], [Country].[Country_Name] AS 'CountryName' FROM [Supplier] INNER JOIN [Country] ON ([Supplier].[Supplier_Country_Id] = [Country].[Country_Id])
And the inferred lightweight entity:
Happy View-ing!

[Pet Shop Reloaded] Designing the application model – Part 2
In the previous post, we have seen how we designed our application with CodeFluent Entities. We will now take a look to how we did with Entity Framework 5 to conclude on a comparison of those two designers.
Using Entity Framework 5
Entity Framework is a tool that allows developers to create applications that access to data from a conceptual model. In order to create our model, we will need to add new ".edmx" file to our project as it is showed on the following screenshot.
Once this file added, we can see the Entity Framework model. From this model we are able to create:
– Entities,
– Properties
– And relations.
As you can see in the screenshot below, the Entity Framework designer is composed by a designing surface and a right click contextual menu.
Following the same path than our first article, we will start by adding a new entity to our model. To do so we will perform a right click on the surface then hit 'Add New > Entity…'. According to our project we will name it 'Category'. We will set the value of entity set to 'Category' and we will name our key property 'Id' of type 'Int32'.
In order to demonstrate other features, we will add two other properties: Description and Name of type string. We will also create a new entity named 'Product' with an entity set named 'Product' and a key property name set to 'Id' of type 'Int32'. This entity will contain three other properties: Name, Description and Image, respectively of types: string, string, and binary.
Unlike CodeFluent Entities Entity, Framework does not provide types like 'Image' or 'email'. Right now, it's not really important but we will get back to it in an upcoming article dedicated to the generation and you will see that it saves you tons of work regarding BLOBs storage.
We will now add a one-to-many relation between these two entities. To do so, right click on the 'Category' entity, hit 'Add New > Association' and a popup will show up. In this popup, modify the fields according to the following screenshot to create our relation properly.
As you can see on the screenshot above, Entity Framework created navigation properties and a foreign key property named 'CategoryId' for us.
This is pretty much all we can do for this project with Entity Framework 5 since we don't need: complex properties, inheritance, or function import functionalities.
Finally, regarding the validation of our properties (e.g. required attributes), we will have to do it in partial classes once we will have generated our model classes thanks to T4 Templates.
Note: we could have choose to customize T4 templates in order add those required attributes directly in the generation process but we wanted to keep things as close as possible to what is provided out-of-the-box.
Comparison and conclusion
On these two articles, we talked about CodeFluent Entities and Entity Framework designers' capabilities and we are now able to do some comparison between them.
Starting with the property types we have seen that CodeFluent Entities offers a lot more types for properties. CodeFluent Entities advanced types as 'image' allows developers to gain a lot of time because as you will see in the upcoming post treating about generation CodeFluent Entities will generate columns to store information about the image and it will also generate for you a BLOB handler.
Regarding relations between our entities CodeFluent Entities allows you to set cascade for save and delete directly when you create the relation.
One of the most important problem with Entity Framework is the generation process. Unlike CodeFluent Entities, which have a continuous generation process that allows you to update your model at any time and generate over the current one, using Entity Framework, if you want to update and regenerate your model, you will have to drop the existing database, recreate a new one and regenerate model classes by adding new code generation item.
Another key point is the impossibility to add attributes, rules or custom methods directly from the model with Entity Framework. While CodeFluent Entities provides these features out-of-the-box, with Entity Framework you will have to either customize your T4 template, create partial classes to extend the code generated or write T-SQL to create your stored procedure.
Finally, CodeFluent Entities allows you to create instances directly from the model, therefore it gives the possibility to have data in your database directly after the generation.
Note: You can find more detailed information about the differences between the CodeFluent Entities and the Entity Framework designers reading this white paper (http://www.softfluent.com/docs/codefluent/codefluent-entities-entity-framework.pdf)
In conclusion, we can see that CodeFluent Entities modeler is more powerful and flexible than Entity Framework designer while providing continuous generation and more features.

[Pet Shop Reloaded] Designing the application model – Part 1
In this post we will treat the model designing aspect of the application. In the first part we will see how to design our business model with CodeFluent Entities then we will show how to do it with Entity Framework 5. Finally, we will compare both designers' capabilities and show which benefits you can have by using CodeFluent Entities.
Using CodeFluent Entities model designer (aka modeler)
CodeFluent Entities is a software completely integrated into Visual Studio (2008/2010/2012 and 2013 soon). In fact, Visual Studio is strictly speaking not mandatory (you can edit files with any text editor, or use the Portable Modeler tool we talked about here https://blog.codefluententities.com/2012/09/11/the-codefluent-entities-portable-modeler/), but it's by far the easiest way to start with CodeFluent Entities.
Designing an application with CodeFluent Entities allows you to directly create from the model:
– Entities
– Properties
– Relations
– Rules
– Attributes
– Custom methods
– And much more…
As you can see in the screenshot below, the CodeFluent Entities' designer is composed by a designing surface and a ribbon.
The ribbon contains buttons which allows you to perform actions like adding entities, methods and so on. Those actions are also available by right clicking the surface.
Our first action will be to add an entity, to do so you can hit the 'Add entity' button from the ribbon or by a right click on the surface then 'Add > Entity'. According to our project we will name it 'Category'.
Once this entity added, we will add a first property named 'Id' of type 'Int' which will be our primary key. By default, with CodeFluent Entities, the first property added is considered as the primary key but of course, you can change it through the settings of the property.
You may have noticed there is a lot of property types, more than available with Entity Framework 5. The reason is CodeFluent Entities type system is a composite one since it must adapt to the underlying target type.
When designing your model you are not targeting any specific technology. The CodeFluent Entities model is totally technology agnostic.
CodeFluent Entities also provides extra types through its runtime such as email, image, audio, film. An exhaustive list of types can be find over the documentation.
In order to demonstrate other features, we will add three other properties: Description, Name, and Products, all of type string. We will get back to this 'Products' property a bit later.
Then we will add another entity named 'Product' which will contain five properties: Id, Description, Image, Name, and Category, respectively of type integer, string, image, string and string.
We will now see how to create relations between two entities properties. This can be done directly when the property is added by checking 'Advanced' for the type of the property and then selecting the property we want to bound it to. We can also do it through the properties of a property by changing its 'Type Name'. And finally we can 'Shift + Left click', on the property and bound it to the property of our choice.
In this case, we will bound the 'Category' property to the 'Products' property in order to create a one-to-many relation as it is showed in the following screenshot.
You may have notice that there is also the possibility to create cascade save and delete depending on your needs.
In the introduction, we talked about custom methods. Now that we have two entities we can create a custom method in our 'Product' entity which will be named 'LoadByCategoryName'. In order to add a custom method, we can either click the 'Add method' ribbon button or right clicking on the entity and hit 'Add > Method'.
With CodeFluent Entities you will use CFQL (CodeFluent Query Language) to create custom methods. CFQL syntax is really close to SQL syntax, which allows you to use your SQL knowledge to create methods.
CFQL allows you to keep your model logic independent of any technology. CFQL code will be afterwards converted automatically to stored procedures in the specific target language (SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL…).
As you can see in the following screenshot, this method allow us to retrieve products based on their category name.
In the CodeFluent Entities designer we are also able to add attributes (CLR attributes) or rules to our properties. For instance, we will add an attribute to the 'Description' property of our 'Product' entity to specify this property is required thanks to the 'System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations' namespace.
In order to add this attribute we will focus on the 'Description' property then we can either click the 'Add attribute' button in the ribbon or right clicking on the property hit 'Add attribute'. In the attribute name we can directly reference the attribute, in this case 'System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.RequiredAttribute', or we can browse through namespaces to find the one which fit our needs by hitting the button next to the 'Attribute name' textbox as it is shown in the screenshot below.
To conclude, on CodeFluent Entities designer we will talk about the inferred model. You can access it through the ribbon by hitting the 'View Inferred Model' button.
The inferred model allows you to foresee what will be generated by CodeFluent Entities: classes, tables, relations, attributes, and so on. Therefore, you can see if you designed your application the way you wanted to.
The CodeFluent Entities Modeler is much richer than what you have seen in this post. You can take an overview on this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsfrHJqCpgc), and for the Modern UI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUXoiz4mWB8).

Custom Sub Producer Example
There are several ways to add custom code to the generated code. You could simply do it by using Partial classes (which would be a manual action), Snippets or Aspects. But what if you wanted to add custom code to a specific layer such as the Business Object Layer right before production? Well you would need to create your own Sub Producer.
Creating your own custom Sub Producers in CodeFluent Entities is pretty straightforward: all you have to do is to:
1. create a Class Library project referencing the following assemblies:
- CodeFluent.Model.dll
- CodeFluent.Model.Common.dll
- CodeFluent.Producers.CodeDom.dll
2. create a class implementing the ICodeDomSubProducer interface.
3. build and Deploy the Class Library to the CodeFluent current directory (%ProgramFiles%\SoftFluent\CodeFluent\Modeler).
Everything is documented here with examples: Developing a Custom Sub-Producer.
Besides, since it easier to understand something we can actually see running, you'll find a sample project to play with based on real world code on our forum: Ninject dependency injection.

CodeFluent Entities: Writing a custom aspect
In the previous post, we've seen that CodeFluent Entities infers a meta-model from our model and that we could interact with this meta-model to apply application wide changes. In this post we'll see how
Step 1: Writing your aspect
As an example we'll write an aspect which will add a "IsDeleted" property on all entities by default.
First of all, we added a new class library project named "Demo.Aspects" to our solution and added the following references: CodeFluent.Model.dll, CodeFluent.Model.Common.dll and CodeFluent.Runtime.dll. Aspects can either be written in XML or in .NET. In my opinion, it's easier to start writing aspects in .NET as you'll have Visual Studio's IntelliSense which will help you out using the API.
In practice, an aspect is a class implementing the IProjectTemplate interface. This interface contains a single method "Run" which takes as a parameter a "context".
Here's a sample implementation:
using System.Collections; using System.Xml; using CodeFluent.Model; namespace Demo.Aspects { public class MyAspect: IProjectTemplate { public static readonly XmlDocument Descriptor; public const string MyAspectNamespace = "http://www.mycompany.com/aspects/myaspect/2013/1"; static MyAspect() { Descriptor = new XmlDocument(); Descriptor.LoadXml( @"<cf:project xmlns:cf='http://www.softfluent.com/codefluent/2005/1' defaultNamespace='MyAspect'> <cf:pattern name='My Aspect' namespaceUri='" + MyAspectNamespace + @"' preferredPrefix='mya' step='Tables'> <cf:message class='_doc'>This is some description for our custom aspect.</cf:message> <cf:descriptor name='enable' typeName='boolean' category='My Custom Aspect' targets='Entity' defaultValue='false' displayName='Add the MyCustomProperty' description='Description for our custom descriptor.' /> </cf:pattern> </cf:project>"); } public XmlDocument Run(IDictionary context) { if (context == null || !context.Contains("Project")) { // we are probably called for meta data inspection return Descriptor; } // the dictionary contains at least these two entries XmlElement element = (XmlElement)context["Element"]; Project project = (Project)context["Project"]; foreach (Entity entity in project.Entities) { Property property = new Property(); property.Name = "IsDeleted"; property.TypeName = "bool"; entity.Properties.Add(property); } // we have no specific Xml to send back, but aspect description return Descriptor; } }
The method returns a XmlDocument which is described above as a string. It could also be written on a separate file.
As you can see this XML defines the aspect's name, its XML namespace, and how it extends the CodeFluent schema (here it adds a "mya:enable" attribute on entities, whose default value is false).
Step 2: Using your aspect
Compile the "Demo.Aspects" project.
In the solution explorer, select the "Aspects" folder and click "Add Existing Aspect…". Browse for our Demo.Aspects.dll that we created previously and here's what you should see:
Great! As you can see, information returned by our descriptor is properly parsed and displayed
Hit OK, and now by default all your entities should have an extra "IsDeleted" property added when the model is inferred, which means that a "IsDeleted" column will be created for all tables, all stored procedures will be updated to include this column, and it's the same in the middle tier and the UI tier. You can view this by clicking on the "View Inferred Model" button available in the ribbon:

CodeFluent Entities: Member Format Expressions (Final Part)
Last post exploring this feature of the Modeler, detailing what you can do in conditions and the MessagesBrowser class.
In the previous post, we've seen that we could specify a condition attribute in the <if> and  tags. A few notes on the condition attribute:
- Property paths in condition attributes should not be surrounded by curly brackets (i.e. use IsKey instead of {IsKey}),
- Shortcuts available on the right side of the statement to ease condition declaration,
- Therefore prefer placing evaluated values on the left side of the statement rather than on the right.
The following operators are supported:
- "==" or "=" for a case insensitive equals,
- "[=CS]" for a case sensitive equals,
- "!=", "<>" for a case insensitive not equals,
- "[!=CS]" for a case sensitive not equals,
- ">=" for greater than equals,
- "<=" for lower than equals,
- ">" for greater than,
- "<" for lower than,
- "[StartsWith]" for a case insensitve starts with,
- "[StartsWithCS]" for a case sensitive starts with,
- "[EndsWith]" for a case insensitive ends with,
- "[EndsWithCS]" for a case sensitive ends with,
- "[Contains]" for a case insensitive contains,
- "[ContainsCS]" for a case sensitive contains.
Here's how to highlight all properties ending with "Id":
{#Name}<else/>{#Name}
Note: don't forget to surround the right side statement with quotes so the evaluator knows it's a string.
Please note that there are also shortcuts such as you don't have to specify '> 0' for numbers for instance:
{#Name} (Rules={AllRules.Count})
Will suffix properties with "(Rules=X)" in green:
The MessagesBrowser Class
The MessagesBrowser class is a class you can use as a property path and which allows you to access messages (a.k.a. resources) defined for the current concept (entity or property). For instance, if you defined English resources for each of your address properties in the documentation class:
Using the following expression you can display them:
{#Name} ({MessagesBrowser._doc.en-US})
Here's the result:
Note: As of today, for performance results the MessagesBrowser class is cached and built on first access, so that defining a new resource or editing one will not be reflected on the surface.

MSC Opera - Southern Caribbean: MSC Opera Cruise Review by sylvrtong
Overall Member Rating
MSC Opera - Southern Caribbean
Destination: Southern Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
Embarkation and disembarkation: Somewhat impersonal and crowded, but the only time during the entire cruise we were even cognizant of crowds. Enjoyed watching those with no patience go nuclear -- mostly without cause -- and observed with mild bemusement.
Cabin: Small, but surprisingly did not feel cramped. Don't know if we would have felt the same without a balcony -- deemed a necessity. The usual complaint about the shower curtain and the small shower, and I have no idea how many of the passengers were able to fit. If a large person, guess the shower is a 2-step process.
Ship ambiance: Extremely clean, and very comfortable. If you opted for activities, there was always something going on, but even then, you could be far enough More away to experience and still feel "private".
Food: As would be expected for food prepared for "the masses", it ranged from bland to outstanding. No meals were unpalatable, and some were outstanding. Dinner each night featured a cuisine from a different region of Italy, and is definitely worth exploring. Without fail, the soups, the appetizers, and the desserts were outstanding. We never really hit the buffet line (except for breakfast), as its cuisine was not as tempting. The Pizzas on the pool deck are among the best I've ever had.
Service: The service across the board was quite good. We openly engaged our support staff in conversation, and found that most were quite willing to share their views, recommendations, and genuinely "opened up" when you showed interest. Our dinner server -- Sergiu -- was one of the highlights, as he not only was personable and engaging, he took the time to learn our dining preferences. Every night he commented on what he thought would be our favorites, and he was always right. He went out of his way to customize dishes as much as he could, and the ritual of his dessert preparation was always a surprise. He made sure that our beverages were at our table (in many cases, just as we were seated), and although he was covering a large area, we always felt "special". Our cabin steward was outstanding as well, meeting our requests for extra robes and blankets, and each night the bed was turned down in a different creative manner.
Entertainment: I mirror the opinions of many in telling you that the shows were outstanding. Truly Vegas-quality, we went to almost every one. The theater was quite comfortable, and seating was never a problem or issue. The on-board entertainment team was always prevalent, and their enthusiasm and humor were contagious.
Excursions: We booked 2 through the cruise ship (Costa Maya and Panama), and they were acceptable. In Costa Rica and Colombia we "did our own thing", and this is what I would recommend. You get a much better feel of the country and its people, and at no time did we feel threatened or even mildly uncomfortable. I would highly suggest that you find another couple on the cruise and share a van or cab -- better price, more customization, and something memorable.
Ports: Costa Maya: What you would expect for a port built away from everything. Did the beach (not a great one, but we are used to Caribbean beaches)and the shopping was what you would expect.
Puerto Limon: Kind of depressing, as the town looks like it has seen better days. Shopping was OK, but we landed on Sunday and many things were closed. We wound up hiring a cab, and had a great tour of the area. Our cab and guide were very proud of their country, and the people we encountered were all happy to share their country's highlights.
Cristobal: The only rainy day, we did the tour of the Gatun Lock and Portobelo. The canal was amazing!! Portobelo is an old village on the coast with an old church and a couple of battlements. Did not really gain a feel for the country from the bus, but worthwhile.
Santa Marta: The biggest and most pleasant surprise. We negotiated with a cab-driver/tour guide, and customized our 4 hour excursion. The fishing village of Tacanga was delightful, and the tour of the city of Santa Marta and surrounding area was quite good. We walked among the shops in a suburban area, and toured the "new" resort area just to the West -- worth a return trip. A gorgeous and historical downtown area, and the people were all very proud of their country.
Curacao: Sad to say, we exhausted ourselves shopping, and did not take the time to explore. The shopping on the "side streets" was better than the front-line, and the people were personable. We passed on dinner on the ship, and had a grilled steak at El Toro next to the ship. Definitely worth it. Have also been told of a great French restaurant at the fort (near the "mega pier"). Will probably return.
Cayo Levantado: Very nice island, with beautiful beaches. The day was not extremely sunny, so we only stayed for a little while. Did not touch the "mainland", but have been to D.R. previously.
Passengers: Am going to guess that 60-70% were over the age of 70, and maybe 40-50% were from Europe. Made for interesting conversation and people-watching, but NOT the cruise for partiers. Very few children, which made for a relaxing cruise.
Overall, was impressed with the efforts of MSC and particularly its people. Although the seas were rough for much of the cruise, we NEVER felt it.
Highlights: Sergiu, balinese massage (worth the price, SottoVento Lounge (caiparinhas and cigarettes), hair salon, balcony, gymnasium, shows, overall experience.
Lowlights: Some of the impatient people (passengers), shower size Less

JERUSALEM (Dec. 11)
The Israeli Army warned the Lod Airport management four months before the May 30 massacre that its medical facilities were inadequate to cope with a serious emergency or mass disaster, it was disclosed yesterday. The warning was contained in a letter sent to the airport management last Jan. from General Staff Headquarters after a senior Army medical officer made a surprise visit to the airport. The Army recommended that its Medical Corps assume responsibility for medical services at the airport in the event of disaster but no action was taken by the Lod authorities.
Following the massacre, the Health Ministry ordered an investigation into the medical facilities at the airport and the report that followed recommended that a doctor be stationed there permanently. According to the airport manager, Shmuel Kislev, no civilian doctor has been willing to take the job which involves long hours and small remuneration. The airport management is negotiating with the Army Medical Corps to assume the responsibility. Meanwhile, Dr. David Baruch, a part-time volunteer for the Civil Aviation Authority, is serving as the airport's medical officer on a temporary basis.

Two interesting tidbits on inflation today.
First, at the Treasury Select Committee this morning, Mervyn King, Bank governor said he had essentially defeated Britain's inflation problem.
"The projections that we published in the inflation report a couple of weeks ago have the characteristic that the inflationary pressures are pretty much back to target by around the middle of this year."
To show this requires a bit of simple statistical manipulation of the Bank's latest inflation forecasts and the application of the most simple seasonal adjustment techniques to the quarterly inflation data to get the following chart. It is very similar to one published by David Miles, MPC member, in his speech last week (when I was on holiday) which uses more sophisticated seasonal adjustment.
The idea of the chart is rather neat because Read more

I'm from "El Barrio" a community in Manhattan, New York. I've spent most of my academic years in New York and my summer terms in Puebla, Mexico with my mother. Therefore, my perspective of viewing the world is influenced by both living in an urban atmosphere as well as growing up with cultural traditions and the country lifestyle in Mexico.
New York City in itself is composed of diverse cultures and also composite with immigrants ranging from Latin America to Africa and even Europe. Besides enjoying Global Studies in High school I specially wanted to be a CLAS minor because I wanted to further my knowledge on Latin American and Caribbean countries that are not often spoken about. Throughout my time abroad and on campus I started to connect the dots historically and have become more aware about different cultures and how America plays a major role in the lives of many immigrants. Thus, being a minor in CLAS is a personal influence as to the kind of social inequalities I've faced being duel citizen of America and Mexico. I have come to understand my world and becoming more knowledgeable.
Spring of my sophomore year I took La Frontera, an elective course that become one of my favorite classes because it taught me of the history of the Mexican presence mostly in the West of America. Chicano studies are one of the many devalued history events that is not taught in schools especially on the East Coast part of America. It is why taking this course in Canton, New York makes it rare and worth learning about. This course definitely helped me develop a better understanding of the schizophrenic relationship that America and Mexico have constructed over the years. Furthermore, this course had a one week travel component to El Paso, Texas. I was able to make connections with the local people I met and till this day I keep in contact with. This course really took a radical impression of my personal ideologies and inner identity; it really opened my eyes to current issues that are not publicly discussed in the main stream media.
I also spent a whole semester in Trinidad and Tobago. I learned about its history, its religious celebrations, ecological issues and their multiethnic diversity. I'm glad to have spent a whole semester in Trinidad! My semester in Trinidad and Tobago was one of my best experiences where I created some unforgettable memories.
After my experience in Trinidad I traveled to Yucatan, Merida for a short summer term. It was also once of a life time experience in which I was able to visit a different region of Mexico! Although, my parents are from Puebla, Yucatan was different. It was different from any other place in Mexico I'd seen. I learned so much about the cultural ecology within the Yucatec Mayan communities.
This trip helped me formulate a thesis senior topic which focuses on a small case study of three young men who are migrant workers and their journey to working in a dairy farm for the past three years, located only within a few a miles of the St. Lawrence Campus.
Studying abroad also made me more mature, social, and it also made me appreciate what I have and being more open-minded. I'm extremely grateful for the support I have from Professors and the CIIS office that really helped me make these experiences possible.
My goal after graduation is to do an internship at the Annunciation House located in El Paso, Texas. I eventually want to earn my Master's degree as a social worker or work for legal services in America.

ALSO SEE: Raina eyes Test comeback | Agarkar out with injury
MUMBAI: Discards and perpetual outsiders will gain another chance to catapult themselves into national reckoning as Ranji Trophy winners Mumbai take on a strong Rest of India side for the Irani Cup at the Wankhede Stadium, beginning Wednesday.
This will be second Irani Cup game this season, a move necessitated by a new schedule that dictates the tie to be held at the conclusion of the domestic season rather than at its commencement. Rest of India had thrashed last-year's Ranji winners Rajasthan by an innings at Bangalore in September, the beginning of the domestic calendar.
In this edition, Rest will be led by Virender Sehwag – currently out of ODIs for India – and include names such as off-spinner Harbhajan Singh and fast bowler S. Sreesanth, both of whom would be pressing hard for a decent performance that pushes their case for representing the country.
After being sidelined for the England ODIs, Sehwag will be seeking some form before the Australia Tests, while Harbhajan will look to make good on the sorry run that his chief competitor R. Ashwin seems to be on.
Harbhajan failed to impress on his return for two Tests against England – and was subsequently dropped. It remains to be seen what Sreesanth's long injury-enforced absence from cricket has done to his bowling ability.
Rest also have openers Shikhar Dhawan and M. Vijay, who was part of the India squad but did not get a game against England in the home Tests. Vijay has the singular honour of plundering the highest individual score in the history of the event – 266 versus Rajasthan in last-year's edition at Bangalore.
Either opener can stake a claim for inclusion against Australia with a telling performance, since Gautam Gambhir has been struggling across formats. Suresh Raina, in stupendous form in the shorter formats, and the constantly unlucky Manoj Tiwary will add beef to Rest's middle order.
The curious will also have an eye upon fast bowlers Shami Ahmed and Ishwar Pandey and whether they are deserving of a national slot in the upcoming season. Left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha will have to assert himself on the contest after petering out against England late last year.
In the absence of the injured Ajit Agarkar (groin strain), Mumbai will be led on their home ground by the prolific all-rounder Abhishek Nayar, who had a grand day at Sunday's IPL auction and was purchased by Pune Warriors for a humungous fee.
The responsibility comes to Nayar ahead of veteran compiler Wasim Jaffer, 34, who had last played a Test for India over five years ago against South Africa in Kanpur, and is the second-highest accumulator in Irani Trophy, behind the legendary G. Viswanath.
Others of interest in the Mumbai line-up include opener Ajinkya Rahane and Rohit Sharma. Rahane had a mediocre time in ODIs against England, while Sharma too had sporadic bouts of success amid a plethora of failures.
Sachin Tendulkar, having called it quits from ODIs, will also be in the thick of things. He will be looking forward to some more match practice ahead of the Australia series. Tendulkar was with Mumbai all through their knock-out phase in the Ranji Trophy this year before an unfortunate run-out in the final against Saurashtra curtained his participation.
Mumbai's bowling, on a helpful Wankhede track, will be spearheaded by fast bowler Dhawal Kulkarni, who played a pivotal role in the semifinal and final for the Ranji champions.
Teams (from):
Mumbai: Ajit Agarkar (Capt.), Sachin Tendulkar, Wasim Jaffer, Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Dhaval Kulkarni, Kaustubh Pawar, Abhishek Nayar, Hiken Shah, Aditya Tare, Ankit Chavan, Javed Khan, Shardul Thakur and Vishal Dabholkar.
Rest of India: Virender Sehwag (Capt.), Shikhar Dhawan, Murali Vijay, Manoj Tiwary, Suresh Raina, Wriddhiman Saha, Harbhajan Singh, S Sreesanth, Pragyan Ojha, Ishwar Pandey, Abhimanyu Mithun, Ambati Rayudu, Shami Ahmed and Jalaj Saxena.

name: w32/bagle.bc.worm (panda)
affects: windows xp/2000/nt/me/98/95
what it does: bagle.bc, as does many other recent bagle variants, opens tcp port 81 and waits for remote connections. it ends processes belonging to a variety of well-known security tools and deletes entries belonging to certain other worms from the windows registry.
how to avoid it: do not open e-mail attachments. make sure you have the latest updates on your antivirus.
how to remove it: all the major antivirus companies, including symantec, panda and mcafee, have removal tools for this worm. manual removal is not difficult and is explained below.fact file
aliases:worm_win32.bagle.aq (computer associates), w32.beagle.av@mm (symantec), worm_bagle.at ([trend micro), bagle.at (f-secure), w32/bagle.bb@mm (mcafee), w32/bagle-au (sophos), i-worm.bagle.at (kaspersky), w32/bagle.aq@mm (norman)
type of virus: windows 32 executable
date discovered: october 29, 2004
systems affected: windows xp/2000/9x/me/nt
systems not affected: dos, windows 3.x, linux, mac, os/2, unix
propagation: spreads via e-mail and through network shares, including peer-to-peer networks
executable file: variable; file name is either joke or price, extension is either .com, .cpl, .exe or .scr.
size: varies
from: spoofed
recipient: harvested from victim's machine
subject: varies
body: varies
bagle.bc is a classic e-mail worm that typically comes in the form of a mundane-looking message potentially, but not usually, from an address you recognize. the "from:" address will be spoofed and harvested from the address book, files and browser cache of the infected user who sent it to you. the subject line will be one of the following:
- re:
- re:hello
- re:hi
- re:thank you!
- re:thanks:)
the body of the message will be one of these:
- :)
- :))
there will be a file attachment with a name of either "joke" or "price" and an extension of ".com", ".exe", ".cpl" or ".scr".
the system is infected when the user runs the attachment. this file may also be spread to network shares on a lan or through peer- to- peer network shares.
once run, the program waits for commands through tcp port 81. this makes the infected computer available for use by outsiders for spamming or attack purposes.
it looks through the list of active processes for a large list of process names belonging to well-known security software, such as antivirus products, and attempts to end these processes.
bagle.bc then attempts to download a file names g.jpg from one of a long list of web sites. symantec's analysis says that it saves the file as "%system%\re_file.exe" and executes it. according to mcafee none of the sites still contained the file at the time of their analysis.
it deletes any values that contain the following strings:
from the registry keys:
- hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run
- hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run
bagle.bc seeks to propagate itself using its own smtp e-mail engine. it searches an infected system for e-mail addresses by scanning files with the following extensions: adb, asp, cfg, cgi, dbx, dhtm, eml, htm, jsp, mbx, mdx, mht, mmf, msg, nch, ods, oft, php, pl, sht, shtm, stm, tbb, txt, uin, wab, wsh, xls and xml.
it does not send copies of itself to any addresses that contain the following strings in them: @avp., @foo, @hotmail, @iana, @messagelab, @microsoft, @msn, abuse, admin, anyone@, bsd, bugs@, cafee, certific, contract@, feste, free-av, f-secur, gold-certs@, google, help@, icrosoft, info@, kasp, linux, listserv, local, news, nobody@, noone@, noreply, ntivi, panda, pgp, postmaster@, rating@, root@, samples, sopho, spam, support, unix, update, winrar, winzip.
it copies itself to directories that contain the string 'shar' in their name, on the theory that these are network shares, and probably peer-to-peer network shares.
removing bagle.bc manually
(thanks to mcafee.com)
- reboot the system into safe mode. hit the f8 key as soon as the starting windows text is displayed, choose safe mode.
- delete the following files from your windows system directory (typically c:\windows\system or c:\winnt\system32)
- edit the registry
delete the "wingo.exe" value from hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run
reboot the system into default mode

Economist-turned-Fox Business host Stuart Varney likes nothing more than poking an accusing finger at what most of the rest of us take as accepted truths.
The conservative commentator who says he left England in 1974 to escape its class warfare" visited Jackson Tuesday to address the Mississippi Council on Economic Education. Of course, the question was bound to come up about his claim that last month's Labor Department report of a drop in the jobless rate to 7.8 percent was somewhat suspicious. He insisted he is not a "conspiracy theorist'" who should be lumped in with Donald Trump's "truther" brigade that casts doubt on everything from President Obama's country of origin to his college grades.
Just call the drop in the previous month's unemployment rate "very, very convenient," he says
He wouldn't divulge what he thinks caused such a convenience to occur. Nor would he say whether the whole thing could be attributed to coincidence.
"I just found it absolutely miraculous that 60,000 house servants (the Labor Department) managed to incredibly discover 862,000 new jobs," Varney explains.
To an interviewer Varney asked: "Aren't you just a tad suspicious yourself?"
But don't mistake him for someone who thinks any tampering occurred, he says.
OK. But that still doesn't explain his theory of "convenience."
Meanwhile, he predicted Friday's job numbers for September would include a downward adjustment of new job numbers for the months previous.
They didn't. In fact, the Labor Department adjusted job creation upward for those months.
But Varney is no longer citing "convenience." Friday morning the English ex-pat was relying more on what he implied was the U.S. government's selective use of its numbers.
Job numbers released Friday showed a one-tenth of a percentage point increase in unemployment nationally, even though new jobs jumped by 171,000, including 184,000 new private sector jobs.
What's missing from the new unemployment rate, Varney says, is the "real unemployment rate."
That rate is "technically known as U-6," he says.
But the economic indicator to which Varney referred, known as U-6, is not an unemployment measure as it includes part-time workers who want full-time work.
While Varney may not have full faith in the Labor Department's job numbers, he says he has faith that Congress won't push the nation over the fiscal cliff in the months to come. For his comments on that issue and other topics, click on this video by the MBJ's Stephen McDill.

Increase Blog Comments MASSIVELY with This Simple Technique
SEO is constantly evolving.
The majority of people that think they're ahead of the SEO game are just moments from being left behind.
Keep doing what's working now and it will always work, right?
I guess that sometimes – yes, you're right. To an extent.
However, the more that people use proven techniques, the harder it becomes to actually use them, thus rendering them less-effective.
For example, outreaching for a high quality infographic was so much easier a couple of years ago than it is today.
The technique still works, but the amount of people that are doing it now means that the inboxes of bloggers or Editors are a lot more saturated with similar content now.
So, what if I said to you that I have a technique that will get you backlinks AND engagement on your posts?
Note: I do.
And the marketing budget you'd need for this? Absolutely nothing.

Comment Collection: Boost Your Engagement Metrics and Growth Hack Your Audience
The Results
I thought I'd flip things on their head a bit with this post, and give you the results up front.
After all, you want proof this thing really works, right?
These are the impressive numbers that I have from the very first post that I tried out this technique on:
A 285.55% increase in average time spent on page as well as a more than respectable 15.65% drop in bounce rate and a 19.32% drop in exit rate looks great to me.
That's right, the average amount of time a user spends on a post that I've used Comment Collection on stands at almost eleven minutes.
On average, I receive six times more comments on posts that I implement the technique on.
How would you like to increase your numbers like that? You can.
What the Experts Are Saying
Mark Traphagen, of Stone Temple Consulting, shared this post (pictured above) on his Google+ page.
Some highlights of his opinions on Comment Collection include "this really is a brilliant addition to any content promotion outreach campaign" and "rest assured I'll be employing this in our future outreach campaigns for major content pieces."
A range of popular industry profiles have also been loving this technique on Twitter:

When industry influencers are speaking about and sharing a technique like this, you know that you need to be doing it for yourself also.
So, onto the key details of how this all works…
The Future of SEO – Why This Technique is So Important
How's SEO shaping up at the moment?
Well, Google is certainly looking towards visitor engagement in order to determine how appropriate your content is compared to what they're searching for.
What does this mean?
It's probably best to answer this with a series of other questions.
When Google is looking at your site, they're going to be asking the following questions:
- How long is a visitor staying on this landing page?
- Have they exited the page before clicking elsewhere on the site (bounced)?
- Did they share the content on any social media platforms?
- Did they comment on the post?
- Did the user link back to your website?
Did you know there's such a thing as negative social proof?
If your website doesn't get social shares or receive comments, other readers are going to be less likely to do so as well. Google sees this, and factors it into its algorithms accordingly.
Even if your website gets a decent level of interaction already, why wouldn't you want it to become more engaged?
Experts in the field are pointing towards to improving the user experience (UX) through better website design, user testing, A/B testing and more.
Yes, these are all essential for improving conversions and can help with engagement too.
All of these areas can be improved using this simple technique.
Implementing the Comment Collection Technique
You can split Comment Collection into 3 basic steps:
Step 1: Find engaged content
Step 2: Find engaged people
Step 3: Re-engage people
Sound simple? That's because it is.
All you're going to need for this is great content – you've known for years that you need that – and a bit of hard work; you can do that, right?
Step 1: Finding engaged content
Engaged content can be defined as any article or page online that has a heavy serving of social shares and – most importantly for this technique – comments.
More on that in the second step of this process.
Firstly, we need to set about finding the content that is highly engaged.
If you already know enough blogs that are popular, engaged and post frequently then you can just go straight to these sites and begin on step 2.
However, if you need advice on finding content that fits the bill in specific areas or niches, then I would definitely advise using Buzzsumo.
Within the Buzzsumo platform you are able to search for content in a specific subject area and order them based on the total amount of social media shares they've received.
When a post has received a massive amount of social shares, you can be pretty confident that it will have a reasonable number of comments on it too.
I would really advise trying to find posts that are related as closely to the subject you're writing about as possible.
One thing to consider with this is the date that the article was published or the date that regular comments were last received.
If the post is too old (I'd suggest anything more than a month is probably too old) or if it hasn't received a regular influx of comments for a decent amount of time (again the same time period will probably suffice) then it wouldn't qualify for the Comment Collection technique in my eyes.
A great thing about Buzzsumo is that is lets you filter by date.
If you really need to go back six months, a year, or even search by posts from all-time then you can, but I'd doubt the effectiveness of reaching out to posts that are as old as this.
Basically, the more recent the better.
Search for content from the past 24 hours, or the past week (this is probably your best bet), before you go delving into successful posts from yesteryear.
Once you've found at least one highly engaged post – although I'd be looking to grab at least a few – you're ready to move onto the next step.
Step 2: Find Engaged People
Once we've found a few posts that we'd consider 'engaged', it's time to move onto finding the people that we'll need to contact.
How do you do this?
This is also a really easy process.
Scroll down to the comments section of your first post. Here you will find the holy grail of this whole technique; active readers that enjoy interacting.
Why are they the holy grail, you say?
People that comment on websites or, typically blog posts, are the most active and engaged form of web traffic – when they aren't bots of course.
Not only do they read a post rather than scanning it (thus staying on a page for a decent period of time) but they'll also scout around a website after commenting (reducing bounce/exit rates).
They're also more likely to share the post on social media, link back from their website – a large proportion of blog commenters are typically website owners or managers – and importantly there is a big chance they'll return to your website in the future.
It gets even better; user-generated unique content on your page is only going to give it even more weighting in Google's eyes.
Now, if only our content was getting as many comments as the engaged content that we've found.
We can. It's easy.
The process
We're going to target the commenters from other websites and, fortunately for us, websites tend to make it nice and easy to do so.
A large proportion of people that do comment will have a link to their website from their author name which is great, this allows us to simply open their website in a new tab and then keep scouting around for more potential people to target.
What if their website is low quality? This doesn't matter at all!
We're looking for engagement as a priority; we needn't worry about the PageRank or Domain Authority of a website in this process.
Getting linkbacks is not our aim in this process, although you still may get some here and there which can be great news. Any poor links can be removed when you do a backlink audit, which I would recommend doing a few times a year.
If the commenter doesn't have a website linked then they're likely to have a social media profile attached, which is still great for us.
If they don't have a social media profile attached directly to their comment, what's wrong with quickly searching their name within Twitter and seeing if you can find said person? Nothing. The extra 30 seconds work is definitely worth it.
The aim of this is to build up an engagement outreach list of people that we wish to contact, to try and get them to leave their thoughts in the comments of our article(s).
I'd definitely advise using the BuzzStream BuzzMarker for this (if you don't already use BuzzStream, you are seriously missing out). You can still do it all manually, but this saves SO much time and hassle.
My favourite thing about the BuzzMarker is that it will automatically look to collate contact information (specifically email addresses) and social media profiles.
You can also create notes within each contact you add based on the comment they've written on the website.
This will all come in handy as we move onto attempting the third and final stage of this process; re-engaging them.
Step 3: Re-Engage People
Familiar with outreach? If not, where have you been? Here's some handy outreach tips if you need them.
What we're going to be doing here is contacting the people that left comments on a similar article and simply ask them to share their thoughts on our piece of content too.
Sound too simple?
It really is that straightforward.
Find an email address for the people you're contacting from their website link or from their social media profiles.
As mentioned previously, BuzzStream will automatically look to find as many email addresses as it can for you, but it won't find them all. It's really worth spending a bit of time for each person trying to find an email address.
If you can't email them directly, try hitting them up on social media.
Once you've done your outreach, as ever, you play the waiting game.
Or, alternatively, try finding even more people to contact.
Testing and Results
I wrote a post about swearing on my blog (now removed). This was inspired by a post I'd read elsewhere which argued that writers should never swear on a blog, and it got a small level of engagement.
Please note, I hadn't even thought of the Comment Collection process at this time, so finding a highly engaged post was not on my agenda.
I had quite a lot to say on the issue of swearing online, and thought it would be best to put it into a post of my own rather than a comment on the original post. So I did.
I wanted to see what people thought of my points, had I managed to change their opinion at all? Did they agree with anything I had to say?
It's then that I had a brainwave and thought "hmm, maybe I'm onto something with this one."
After giving it some thought and unsuccessfully looking around online for some information on this technique elsewhere, I simply had to try it for myself.
I initially invested only 20 minutes into trying this technique out.
My success rate for contacting people and getting people to comment for this one post was over 50%.
These weren't just standard comments either, some of them was really high quality. Check out this from Don Purdum!
I'm so thankful to anyone that would go to such lengths for a bit of healthy discussion.
Better still, some of the wonderful people that left comments also went on to share the post – or other posts – on social media.
Most of the points raised are effectively disagreeing with what I wrote, but in a way that encourages more comments on the matter. I don't see a problem with this; debate is good, opinions will vary with each individual in all subject areas.
Since I first trialed it I have put in a few hours more work into both a) refining the technique and b) continuing to implement it.
Across three blog posts I have contacted a range of people – all of whom I've never spoken to and have likely never heard of me – and my current success rate for getting a response on Intergeek stands at just below 50%.
If you needed any more convincing that this technique is worth the time investing into; this kind of success rate isn't likely with any other technique.
Benefits I Hadn't Even Thought About
When I set out on the task to prove this idea could work, all I really had in mind was to increase my comment counts and my engagement metrics.
This was admittedly short-sighted and foolish.
Little did I know that when I checked the site one day to see if anyone had responded to my Comment Collection attempts, I would be smashed straight in the face by my favourite comment from any website – EVER – from Jaime Buckley of WantedHero.
Unfortunately I've since removed the post that Jaime commented on, but his initial comment (and there were more) was over 1,200 words long!
The best thing about Jaime's comments?
I discovered an insanely talented writer, who I can learn from myself and also engage with on his posts.
Making friends online – also known as networking, but I don't like this term anymore – is important, and it's fun too.
Truth be told, I can't even tell from his comments whether he likes me, loathes me or even wishes I was dead. I don't even care. He's awesome!
Reading his comments is like an emotional rollercoaster where you don't know whether to laugh or cry, and I think this applies to everyone reading, rather than just me as the author.
The benefits to Comment Collection just seem to keep on growing.
Another benefit is that Jaime is still – even though I originally wrote this post a looong time ago – a subscriber of Intergeek.
Many others that I've contacted during Comment Collection have also signed up and remain on my list of loyal subscribers.
This is a great way to growth hack your email list and your blogging audience – especially if you're a new site.
Why Does This Technique Work So Well?
Engaged commenters are typically extremely interested in a subject area, or they're passionate about a certain issue that has been raised in a post.
Both of these are perfect reasons for getting them to comment on your post in a similar subject area.
Not only are you getting what you wish to achieve – more engagement – but they're also getting their views or opinions heard by a wider audience.
In addition, all of those that commented seemed more than happy to have been asked to contribute in the discussion, and why shouldn't they be happy?
I outreached to these people because I liked their input in another discussion on the same subject area. Valued opinions count for a lot, I'm sure.
I think it's best that I wrap this post up here for now.
Engagement will play, and is playing, such an important part in the future of SEO. This cannot be overlooked.
Whilst UX is increasing in importance, this is a perfectly ethical way to increase your engagement levels without the need for a site makeover or the need to learn any technical skills.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/2/2014 (1280 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Some might say it's criminal that accused criminals will be tried at the Law Courts in Winnipeg instead of a palais de justice in St. Boniface after the end of this month.
After decades of trials and hearings in the French language being held in a courthouse in St. Boniface, most French-language legal proceedings will be leaving the city's French quarter at the end of the month.
And that worries Daniel Boucher, president of La Société franco-manitobaine.
"This is a step in the wrong direction," Boucher said.
"It's not a million miles away, but we fear it will move away permanently... it's a very important issue.
"It is part of our community."
The province will shut down the courthouse and court services at 227 Provencher Blvd. effective March 1.
The closure was sparked by last year's sale of the former St. Boniface police station by the city after it was declared surplus. It has been purchased by a doctor who plans to open a bilingual health facility inside the âtienne Gaboury-designed building next to the former St. Boniface city hall building.
It means Court of Queen's Bench matters -- which include some of the most serious criminal and civil matters in the province -- will now be held in French in the Law Courts complex at 408 York Ave., while the small-claims matters, which until now were held in St. Boniface, will be heard at the Summary Convictions Court at 373 Broadway.
The province says monthly sittings by the provincial court in French will now be scheduled at the Bilingual Service Centre at 100-614 Rue Des Meurons.
Boucher said it is particularly upsetting because the local MLA -- and the minister of francophone services -- is Premier Greg Selinger, while both Queen's Bench Chief Justice Glenn Joyal and Appeal Court Chief Justice Richard Chartier are bilingual, and provincial court Chief Judge Ken Champagne is of Métis descent.
"That's the puzzling part," he said, noting the political and legal heavyweights in the French community.
"Over the years we've built a service and to have it taken away, even temporarily, is disappointing."
Selinger insists the province is still looking for a new location for the courts and the temporary move will not become permanent.
Selinger said a type of circuit court will soon begin holding hearings in St. Boniface with a long-term solution coming later.
"Now that the city has completed the sale of the building, and the owner wants to use all the space, we will find another solution as soon as possible," he said.
Coun. Dan Vandal, who represents St. Boniface, said he wants the province to find a new location for the courts there.
"St. Boniface deserves to have these services somewhere in St. Boniface."

Cape Town - Slain teenager Charmaine Mare was always lazing around and on her phone, her alleged killer told the Western Cape High Court on Monday.
Johannes Christiaan de Jager, 49, testified that the 16-year-old, who lived with him and his girlfriend in Kraaifontein, Cape Town, hardly ever left her room and was anti-social.
He has pleaded not guilty to killing Mare on January 11 last year. He has also denied raping and killing prostitute Hiltina
Alexander, 18, in Cape Town in May 2008.
On the morning before Mare's death, the domestic worker arrived and wanted to remove linen from her bedroom.
De Jager said he went to Mare's bedroom and tried to wake her up, which was "the same story" every morning.
"The room was full of dog faeces, and it was on the linen too. That's when I scolded her and said no one can live like this, like a pig," he testified in Afrikaans.
His lawyer asked if he had told Mare she was "f****ng useless".
"That's correct, because of the condition of the room," De Jager replied.
In a cellphone message to a friend that day, Mare said De Jager had told her she was "f****ng useless" after he asked her to do something and she ignored him.
De Jager said he and a friend went to look at his cousin's car in Bellville that evening.
"We started drinking a lot there. If you look at volumes, between myself and Carlo, it would be six litres."
He drank brandy and whisky. He returned home around 11pm, made himself food and fell asleep in front of the television.
He woke up around 6am that Friday.
The trial continues.

Sparklers and fireworks
July 4, 1966: Children set off sparklers outside the Los Angeles Coliseum while the big fireworks show goes on overhead.
In a July 5 Los Angeles Times holiday wrap-up story, staff writer David Larsen reported:
The pursuit of happiness so eloquently cited in the Declaration of Independence was much in evidence Monday on the 190th anniversary of its adoption.
Independence Day activities were held throughout Southern California, many of them built around patriotic themes….
"A Salute to the U.S.A." was the theme in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, where a display of pyrotechnics showed everything from President Johnson to the Mr. Rushmore National Monument. The surface and aerial show was proceeded by a rocket belt demonstration, a baseball game, and high wire and trapeze acts.
This photo by former Times staff photographer Cal Montney was published along with Larsen's story on page 3.
If you have ever tried to shoot fireworks, just getting a nice shot of the exploding pyrotechnics is tough enough. Now try going to the next level – include people!

Incase you missed it, ZUFFA took another hit this week with another cancellation of a major MMA event.
This time however it was Strikeforce that was forced to halt a show when headliner and lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez withdrew with an injured shoulder.
While it is unclear on whether or not Strikeforce would have tried to salvage the card, Showtime executives cancelled all broadcast plans for the event which forced Strikeforce officials to cut their losses.
Here is a statement released yesterday from Showtime officials:
"On Friday night Strikeforce informed us that Lightweight Champion Gilbert Melendez had sustained an injury and would not be able to compete in their Saturday, September 29 card. Without our headline fighter and main event or a marquee undercard, we reluctantly informed Strikeforce that we could not continue with plans for the telecast."Tags: featured, mma, MMA NEWS, ufc, ufc news

Cape Town - Cosatu is under threat from a "Numsa leadership clique" led by the union's general secretary, Irvin Jim, says SACP general secretary Blade Nzimande.
He described the outspoken general secretary of the National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa) as "a lost cause".
Nzimande launched his attack on Jim at an SACP "red brigade" volunteer programme launch in Philippi, Cape Town, on Sunday.
The SACP boss, who also denounced the tendency among certain unions to use "dirty money" to divide Cosatu, said Jim was aiding and abetting the cause of the opposition DA.
Nzimande was accompanied by ANC secretary-general Gwede Mantashe, who is also the SACP's former national chairman.
Both men are allies of President Jacob Zuma, who is under fire from Numsa.
Nzimande was responding to an earlier attack by Jim, who accused him of being the main cause of the souring relations between Numsa, Cosatu and the SACP.
Addressing the Cape Town Press Club last week, Jim said the souring relations between Numsa and the SACP could be traced back to the period after the public sector strike two years ago.
Jim accused Nzimande of leading a smear and vilification campaign against Numsa's leaders, which saw some SACP leaders calling Jim and others names like "populists" and "demagogues".
Jim also accused Nzimande and Cosatu president S'dumo Dlamini of being behind a plot to orchestrate an internal revolt against the current Numsa leadership.
But Nzimande said: "It's not even worth responding to him (Jim), frankly. He's a lost cause, and we think he is actually serving the interests of those who want to divide and weaken the working class. He's doing very well, just like the DA is trying to do."
He called on the red brigades to use the election campaign to unite Cosatu.
"That's very important, because Cosatu is under threat. You know when the offensive against the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) started, we said, as the SACP, that this offensive against NUM is the beginning of the offensive against Cosatu as a whole," he added to loud applause.
Nzimande was referring to the battle between Numsa and NUM, Cosatu's two largest affiliates, which has been going on for more than two years.
The campaign saw both unions attacking each other in public after Numsa decided to mobilise support from among NUM supporters.
"We said we must defend NUM in order to defend Cosatu. And today we are being proved right. The offensive now has gone to the point that there is a risk that Cosatu may split today."
Nzimande described the situation as unfortunate.
He reiterated that unnamed "business unionists" used dirty money to divide the labour federation.
"One of the biggest dangers in the trade union movement today is what we call business unionists. The use of the resources in the hands of the union and its investment funds… I get worried. Where is this money coming from? It is dirty money, I have no doubt about it, which is being used to come and divide the federation," he said.
Mantashe was more diplomatic when asked about a lasting solution to the feud that threatens to tear Cosatu apart.
"The solution (lies) in them locking themselves in a room and fighting it out until they get a solution."
