Baidu & Yandex
Posted 21 April 2012 - 05:45 PM
I have been trying to refine my traffic so I don't get overloaded on 300+ sites. I have blocked all amazonaws ranges that I have found, along with other individual IP numbers that have overloaded me with bot traffic.
So the question is, do baidu and/or yandex do me any good in terms of human traffic -- traffic that clicks on advertising links and that I get paid for? At least in the past, clicks from the North America, Western Europe and Australia have been worh a lot more than clicks from Russia or China.
I am looking at yandex and this bot is coming on pretty strong. I probably will at least disallow it in robots.txt and see if it obeys.
Any comment??

Yandex and Baidu are major players and are becoming more international. Personally I do allow both but only their main webcrawlers - just as with Bing and Google. That does not mean that I don't block Russian and Chinese IPs All SEs have a whole range of different crawlers and which ones you allow is a business model decision. I also note that most/all SEs have stealth bots and that most/all SEs follow real and hypothetical links, citations and entities... which may ignore robots.txt depending... bots are only reliably recognised by behaviour... and not always then.
Note: I frequenctly block even whitelisted SE bots if they hammer too hard or too repetitively. In such instances it is only for an hour at a time. So far without apparent harm.

I was surprised at how much code this will add to an htaccess file. Does that cause performance problems?
I was hoping for a short and sweet code to block about 1/2 of a hemisphere.

iptables -p tcp -I INPUT -j DROP -s 18.104.22.168/21
followed by
/etc/init.d/iptables save && /etc/init.d/sshd restart
This blocks (188.8.131.52 - 188.8.131.52) which happens to be amazonaws Asia-Pacific region.
This gives me an iptables rules list like this:
list rules 4/20/12
iptables -L -n
DROP tcp -- 184.108.40.206/21 0.0.0.0/0
Iptables can act as s a linux internal firewall. It blocks traffic before it reaches .htaccess and causes less server load. External firewalls are even better, your server never takes the hit at all.
The CIDR syntax is explained here : http://en.wikipedia....wiki/CIDR_range
Current amazonaws IP ranges are listed here :

Iamlost, point taken on the changing nature of the net, keeping abreast of what is valuable and what is not. Realistically, at the moment I *think* most advertisers in English are looking to reach English speaking customers -- although I have not viewed my sites recently from non-English countries -- it's possible they may be displaying ads in other languages....
In general it looks to me like Yandex is pretty active on my machines.
Cheers & good luck!

Unfortunately, I learned the hard way that I cannot simply block everything on Amazon because some of the social media services where I pipe my RSS feeds are hosted on Amazon AWS. It's a very sticky wicket.
And as far as Baidu and Yandex go, I open up to their crawlers every now and then to see how relevant their traffic is to my sites. I get more traffic from Yandex than Baidu and more crawl from Baidu than Yandex. At the present time I am blocking Baidu but I'll unblock it again later this year.
Yandex is definitely trying to break into international search and they have been indexing the English Web for several years.
Posted 22 April 2012 - 07:01 PM
Although I do not get much Baidu or Yandex traffic I would not block them as suddenly something could become popular and I'd lose a lot of good traffic. I guess it largely depends on your market though. I am targeting the whole world.

tail -f /path.../access_log
The -f argument gives you a continuing view of every file request as it comes in. If your server is busy it can be a flow of text that is too fast to read.
The apache httpd.conf line
HostnameLookups On
gives the name attached to the IP making the request,
and when combined with
LogFormat "%v %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\" %D" combined
where the %v gives the your domain that serves the request
causes apache to print your domain and the requesting domain to the access_log file.
It's probably not 100% foolproof, but it gives you a pretty good idea who's requesting what, especially if there are an egregiously huge number of requests from the same IP and/or host. It's a good way to stop DOS attacks also.
You can also plug the IP number into maxmind.com, which gives you the real owner.

The final range actually blocks China Telecom Beijing.

This seems to have lowered my cpu load. I don't know how to measure website results, though I can't imagine that English language advertisers have much interest in China traffic.
I do not see such a load from Yandex ... so far it seems to be relatively polite and I am leaving it alone.

A commenter on SEO Theory recommended Cloud Flare and one of their people followed up to clarify one of my concerns (I thought you had to move your hosting to Cloud Flare but they just manage your DNS).
If I understand the concept correctly, your routing passes through Cloud Flare and they take responsibility for managing rogue crawlers. I think they are caching your content but I'm not clear on that. Haven't really had time to fully evaluate it.
Posted 30 April 2012 - 01:43 PM
Currently working on understanding memcache syntax, to cache pages in ram locally, with a possible migration to couchbase later, which works about the same but also has a text-based file that allows for quicker cache recovery on reboot. This is somewhat outside the topic of blocking bad bots, but both relate to server optimization, i.e. getting the biggest bang for your server buck.
I do use postini for mail handling for my primary account. This accepts all my incoming mail and forwards to my own account only that mail which they think is real. It's pretty effective, gets about 90% of the spam with almost no false positives. Postini is activated by the MX records in my DNS, which route incoming mail to them rather than me.

Isn't it obvious when you land on a made-for-Adsense site that it is a junk site? And people still click on their ads? Hmmm.

According to the New York Daily News, former MLB player Chad Curtis was found guilty of inappropriately touching three teenage girls by a West Michigan jury on Friday.
Curtis was convicted on six counts of criminal sexual conduct. For his actions, he could face up to 15 years in prison.
PHOTOS: Disgraced athletes
The 44-year old was accused of touching two 15-year old girls last year while volunteering as weight-room trainer at a local high school. Duties included massage therapy and muscle rehabilitation.
After he was arrested in May 2012, a 16-year old girl told authorities he touched and fondled her in 2011.
"We give these young ladies so much credit for their courage," Barry County Prosecutor Julie Nakfoor-Pratt told MLive.com after Curtis' verdict came down. "It took a lot of courage to testify."
Curtis will be sentenced Sept. 26, according to the judge.
Throughout his nine-year career with multiple different organizations, Curtis won two World Series championships with the New York Yankees. Curtis also played for the then-California Angels, Detroit Tigers, Cleveland Indians, Los Angeles Dodgers and Texas Rangers.

text: Cottrill makes triumphant return By Ryan Pritt January 7, 2013 Story Share Lawrence Pierce West Virginia State's Anton Hutchins is fouled by West Virginia Wesleyan's T.J. Thompson on a layup attempt in the first half at Fleming Hall. In the background is State's David Ford. INSTITUTE, W.Va. -- The last time Noah Cottrill walked off a basketball court in the Charleston area, he had just led Logan to the 2010 Class AAA state championship and brighter lights at West Virginia University were ahead of him.The couple of years since have been as well-documented as they were humbling for Cottrill.While he fell from good graces and eventually left WVU almost exactly two years ago, was an admitted drug addict and had a subsequent arrest in 2011 for possession of a controlled substance, he has made a quiet return to the court this year as a point guard for West Virginia Wesleyan.And on Monday, Cottrill finally got the opportunity to display his skills in the Capital City area once again. The Bobcats, under the direction of first-year coach and former WVU player Pat Beilein no less, improved to 6-5 on the year as they led from midway through the first half on to take a 70-59 win over West Virginia State in Institute.Cottrill, who celebrated two years of sobriety on Dec. 27, spoke like a man who had learned quite a few lessons and who was thankful for another opportunity."It's been great on and off the court," Cottrill said of his experience thus far at Wesleyan. "Coach Beilein and the staff, the athletic director - they've been great. They've helped me, supported me - they know what I've been through. I heard some comments from the stands tonight but it doesn't phase me at all. I'm a new person."I took about a year and a half off of basketball and I'm still not 100 percent, I'm not the Noah that I used to be, but I'm going to get back to that." He seems to be well on his way.During the time off, Cottrill's weight rose to as much as 220 pounds but he has knocked that back to 195 now and is averaging 16.1 points per game this season, second-best on the team next to Kelsey Williams' 18.4.Cottrill scored 13 on Monday while Williams, one of the West Virginia Conference's best big men, went for 23 points and six rebounds. But for Cottrill, who still has four years of eligibility, playing is something that can't be measured in statistics."I am an addict and trying to recover from that every single day, one day at a time. It's a humbling experience from not playing for a year and a half," Cottrill said. "I didn't touch a basketball for a year and a half. I was in the dumps. I tried to go to [Michigan] but I couldn't get released and some things happened and I wasn't really ready for that. But I found out I had four years at Division II and that's what I wanted to do." Perhaps Beilein, who scored 1,001 points in his Mountaineer career, was as much of a story line as Cottrill on Monday.Beilein, son of former WVU and current Michigan coach John Beilein, is trying to put his signature on a program in much the same way his father has at several different places.It doesn't take long in watching the Bobcats (6-5 overall, 3-4 WVC) to see the glaring similarities between the two coaches. The same quiet demeanor, calming presence, and teach-first, yell-later philosophy is evident for fans who've spent any time at all watching Pat's father stalk the sidelines whether at WVU, Michigan or elsewhere. Beilein admitted he has absorbed all he can from his dad."I want to be calm and composed," Beilein said. "Any time you see a coach that gets sped up and starts ranting and raving, that transfers to the court. I'm a teacher first. I'm not a yeller or a screamer. After a few teaching points, if they don't understand it then you have to raise your voice, but I prefer to teach the game - let them have fun rather than if they make a mistake pulling them out of the game."State coach Bryan Poore, like most people, is probably happy for both Cottrill and Beilein, but Poore was a long way from a smile after watching his team miss shot after shot at the rim on Monday.The Yellow Jackets (5-7, 3-4) scored 105 points in a win over Glenville State on Saturday and it seemed that the return of players like Brandon Ross and Raymon Austin from injuries would signal the end of the offensive woes his team had faced throughout the first half of the season.But while four State players finished in double figures (Jalen Walker 14, Austin 12, David Ford 11 and Anton Hutchins 10), State shot just 35.8 percent from the floor while Wesleyan hit 46.4 percent.Poore said he had an inkling long before the game started that it might not be a good one for his squad. "I didn't think we had it at shootaround today," Poore said. "I told them at shootaround today that their body language told me they didn't have that same excitement that they had two nights ago. We hadn't played in so long and we'd been back practicing so they were really excited to get to play the other night. And now, you win one and feel good about yourself and they lost whatever that is. They lost it."Whether State was flat, or just not able to make shots or Wesleyan was simply a better team, Monday night in Institute belonged to Cottrill, Beilein and the Bobcats - and Cottrill, for one, was more than happy with the result."It was great," Cottrill said of playing in Charleston. "I had to go into it looking at it like it was just another game, so I didn't get too hyped. But I had a lot of family here, my mom was here who hasn't seen me play in probably three years, so it was a great experience. I cherish it - every chance I get to come down here."Reach Ryan Pritt at 304-348-7948, firstname.lastname@example.com, or follow him at twitter.com/RPritt.

Goat Expo set first October weekend

Over the past decade, no team has brought out the worst in the North Platte First National Bank Seniors quite like Kearney.
But Tuesday night signaled a departure from that trend. When Kearney threw a punch, North Platte punched back. With that resiliency, the First Nationals defeated their arch-rivals 4-3 at Bill Wood Field.
Seniors coach Rick Ostergard said his team won the battle not only against Kearney, but the insecurities his team has faced when playing them.
"This team plays through adversity," said Ostergard. "They never give up. They're better than they give themselves credit for. They made their own breaks and they capitalized on the key hits they made."
In the first inning, Kearney scored the first run when Mitch Hiemstra hit a two-out double to center field off of Luke Volz.
For the next three innings, Volz kept Kearney at just one run while the First Nationals were trying to figure out Kearney pitcher Ben Borer.
Ostergard said that Volz was on the brink in the first few innings but he pulled himself together.
"Luke struggled in the first three innings and he was upset," he said. "(Myself and pitching coach Jason Pflughaupt) talked to him and told him to stay within himself. He was the real key to the win because he was the guy we had to have out there."
But in the fifth inning, Hiemstra came up to bat and just like he did in the first, he hit an RBI double to make it 2-0.
In year's past, that would have been the proverbial final straw. But on Tuesday, North Platte answered back.
With two outs, in the bottom of the fifth. Alec Wesslund doubled off the wall in left to score the first run for the Nationals.
They say that hitting is contagious and that proved to be true when Jack Kenny followed with a double himself to score Wesslund and tie the game.
But North Platte wasn't quite done. Ben Sukraw hit a single into right field to give the First Nationals a 3-2 lead.
"That was huge," said Ostergard. "That tells you another thing about this team. To get three runs with two outs against Kearney is pretty good."
In the sixth inning, Volz walked two straight batters and was forced out of the game.
He was relieved by Drew Callaghan, who walked Hunter King to load the bases and then Matt Moore for the tying run. But he got Anthony Pacheco to fly out to the warning track for the third out to get out of the game.
In the bottom of the sixth, Callaghan redeemed himself in his first trip to the plate pinch hitting for Riley Vieyra in the ninth spot. With two outs, he hit a single to left off of Borer and the Nationals regained the lead.
That was all the support he needed. Callaghan got the previously red hot Hiemstra to pop out to right field to start the seventh. Then he struck out Dakota Schriner for the second out.
Thomas Connelly singled to left and then he stole second base after a controversial call where the shortstop Volz tagged him after receiving the throw from catcher Drew Beyer.
But Callaghan struck out pinch hitter John Blake to end the game and give North Platte only its second win over Kearney since 2006.
Last year's win against Kearney, which broke a six-year long losing streak, came on a dominant performance by pitcher Kade Folchert in a 1-0 victory. But this year's victory may have been more enjoyable to the First Nationals because they had to earn it after falling behind.

The President and Congress will make the decisions when it comes to Syria. They and military leadership have far more information than I.
How many Americans will die if we intervene in Syria? I do not want to lose one American over a civil war that's been going on for thousands of years.
We will never solve the hatred between the Muslims in the Middle East.
Since when has Al-Qaeda become our friends? Are we now able to trust Al-Qaeda? Are we supposed to bomb Assad and then in turn start loading Al-Qaeda down with weapons that they in turn can use against us? How do we know who used weapons of mass destruction? Could Al-Qaeda have used such weapons against Syrians in hopes of invoking a response from the United States to aid them in their fight?
What about Iraq? Iraq was going to be fast and efficient. But over 4,500 of our American troops were killed and another 100,000 were seriously injured in combat with many of them losing limbs. We spent a total of $6 trillion on Iraq while almost 20 percent of our own people live in poverty.
War is never quick, easy and cheap. War takes us further than we want to go, makes us pay more than we want to pay and keeps us longer than we want to stay. What makes us think we can pound Syria for only a few days and accomplish anything? Previous history warns us that it could end up being a long and bitter engagement.
What happens if Russia, Iran, North Korea and China decide to get into the act? What would World War III look like? Most likely it would forever change the planet as we know and enjoy it today.
I do not want any innocent life to suffer at the hands of an evil dictator. Assad should be stopped. However, it's imperative that our Congress and President assess how far we can go, how much we are able to pay and how long we can really stay.
If we believe we can get by with firing our missiles and simply walking away, we have lost all sense of reality.
Congress is expected to vote sometime after Sept. 9 on using military force in Syria, to retaliate for the use of chemical weapons. Chemical weapons have been prohibited since the 1920s under international law. - Editor

Krol begins rehab assignment at Class A
DETROIT -- Ian Krol began his road back to the Tigers' bullpen Friday night by pitching an inning of relief for Class A West Michigan to begin a Minor League rehab assignment.
Krol, who went on the 15-day disabled list two weeks ago with what he described as a "dead arm" but which the Tigers classified as left shoulder inflammation, pitched a perfect seventh inning with a strikeout for the Whitecaps at Fort Wayne.
As long as Krol's arm feels fine Saturday, the plan calls for him to pitch another inning for West Michigan on Sunday, also at Fort Wayne. If he feels healthy after that, he'll return to Detroit, where he'll likely be activated from the DL in time for Tuesday's series opener against the Dodgers at Comerica Park.

'"Here's what I miss with the 'lockout', Mike tells. "I'm very comfortable driving at night, the radio turned on and I'd pick up a game from Chicago or Montreal". For Mike, 64, radio and hockey has always been an important partnership. This comes from being part of an 11 sibling family. Robitaille's voice climbs an octave in excitement when thinking back to when being a child and laying in bed at night uder the covers, with his transistor radio on the third floor of their home, and picking up broadcasts of Fort Wayne ( Indiana ) Komets games .

Downs, Hoes to be among September callups
HOUSTON -- Reinforcements are on the way.
The Astros can expand their roster beginning Monday, and manager Bo Porter said the club's initial wave of September callups will join the team Tuesday (the Astros are off Monday). Left-hander Darin Downs, who's on a Minor League rehab assignment, will join the club Tuesday as long as his outing Sunday goes well.
Right-hander Sam Deduno, who was picked up off waivers, will also join the team Tuesday, giving the Astros' bullpen some much-needed help. Astros relievers had thrown the fourth-fewest innings among AL relief corps entering Sunday, but several arms are in uncharted territory as far as innings worked.
"Extra arms will definitely help this time of year because the guys we have down there who have been mainstays throughout the course of the year, they've been asked to pick up a lot of innings," Porter said. "Any chance you have to give those guys a blow will be good."
When the majority of callups arrive in Houston depends on whether Triple-A Oklahoma City makes the playoffs. The RedHawks entered the penultimate day of the regulars season Sunday one-half game behind first-place Omaha in the American North Division of the Pacific Coast League.
Among the other players expected to get called up are relief pitcher Paul Clemens, outfielder L.J. Hoes, catcher Max Stassi and shortstop Jonathan Villar.

A little more than 11 years ago I sat down at my Gateway computer and transmitted a short column to the editors at Real Money via my 28.8 baud modem. Since then, I estimate that I have written nearly 5 million words for the site.
Hopefully, a few of my musings have been helpful to readers over the years. But I thought it was a good time to say how thankful I am that I have had the privilege of your time and attention. It is gratifying to know that you deem my thoughts worthy of consideration. My goal is to do the best job possible to help you make money.
Every year since I started at Real Money I've written a column on the day before Thanksgiving about how I came to be in the trading business. I believe it is very important to realize and appreciate how lucky I have been and how much I have to be thankful for. I share my story not only to count my blessings, but to point out to those who may be struggling with difficulties of their own that life has a surprising way of working out if you persevere.
I grew up the oldest of eight children in Bloomfield Hills, Mich. I earned law and business degrees from the University of Michigan and had worked for two of what were then known as, Big Eight accounting firms and had become a CPA. I was struggling to build a tax and corporate law practice in Ann Arbor and was doing fairly well until I rapidly became totally and completely deaf.
There was a history of hearing loss on my mother's side of the family and I had struggled with it a little as a child, but it was more a source of embarrassment and inconvenience than anything else. Suddenly it started to become much more of a problem. At first, my ability to talk on the phone was impaired. Then my ability to even hold a face-to-face conversation was compromised. Within a few months I had to resort to handwritten notes if someone wanted to communicate with me.
There isn't much demand for deaf lawyers, especially those who have had no clue how to adapt to this obstacle. I was left with no choice but to give up my law practice. I lost virtually everything I owned and even my already-shaky marriage came to an end.
The worst part of all this was that that I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do. I couldn't even obtain a menial job because of my inability to communicate. Fortunately I had a disability insurance policy that was sufficient to pay my rent and put food on the table, but the future looked extremely bleak and I was terribly depressed and demoralized.
The worse thing about deafness is that it is so isolating. You can't go hang out and talk with people or chat on the phone if you are lonely. You are basically cut off from the world and the usual emotional support that helps people through tough times just doesn't exist.
One day, while was visiting my sister and her husband, I started playing on their new computer and stumbled across a new service called Prodigy. I was intrigued to see a variety of online conversations about many topics and, best of all, I didn't need to hear in order to participate.
I convinced them to loan me their computer for a while and I was soon very actively involved in the online chatter. Eventually I came across the stock market message boards and was intrigued by the discussions that quite different than the portfolio theory that I had been taught in business school. These folks were ignoring the convention approach and many used charts and momentum strategy. Some of these stocks moved extremely fast and, if nothing else, it looked like fun.
I had a very small amount of money in an IRA, so I opened a brokerage account at Olde Discount Brokers and started dabbling a little bit. I had very mixed success at first and was burned by some penny stocks and even a Chinese fraud. Also, I had to drive to the broker and give him orders in person since I couldn't use a phone, which limited my flexibility a bit.
Eventually I came to realize that trading was primarily an exercise in psychology rather than finance. The way to make money was to understand the emotions that were at work and most of the time they had little to do with the fundamentals. I focused more and more on charts and thought of the market as a giant chess game. With the advent of online brokers I was able to become more active and aggressive.
I not only enjoyed the challenge of trading, but the online community was a source of great support and provided me with some real friendship. I eventually migrated to American Online where I tormented the Motley Fools and their buy-and-hold philosophy. In an attempt to contain my constant attacks, they created a message board for active traders, which soon became a busy hub for the growing crowd of individual traders. We had great success with our active approach and even hedge fund managers like Jim Cramer would read the board for new ideas.
It was a great time in the online world and it was possible to make some huge profits trading things like Iomega and some of the stocks benefiting from the early boom in the Internet. My small stake had started to grow quickly and soon it had multiplied a number of times. Not only was I making far more money than I had made practicing law, but I loved what I was doing.
Eventually I hooked up with Herb Greenberg, who I had a number of intense debates with, and started the Shark Attack short-term trading site on AOL. We had the first real chat room for active traders and people would wait hours just to grab one of the few available sites. After a few years I moved to the Web where I still operate SharkInvesting.com. One thing I'm particularly proud of is that we still have some of the same members that started with us more than 15 years ago.
Shortly after 9/11 I asked Jim Cramer if he would allow me the privilege of writing a few comments from Real Money. He welcomed with open arms and I've been here almost every day since then.
The great irony is that if I hadn't lost my hearing and almost everything I owned I would have never found the success and the satisfaction that I have enjoyed. In retrospect, losing my hearing was one of the best things that ever happened to me. What is even more ironic is that through cochlear implant surgery I have been able to regain my hearing to a great degree. It isn't perfect, but I can hear my children's voices and carry on ordinary conversations now.
It is difficult for me to recall now how desperate and lost I was when I went deaf. I believed there was absolutely no solution to my problems and never dreamed that I could accomplish anything meaningful. Luckily, I was wrong and if it can happen to me then it can happen to you. Everyone has challenges and setbacks in life, but if you keep a positive mental attitude I am confident you will be surprised at how things will work out.
Have a great Thanksgiving.

Aspergers, Schizophrenia or Both?
I`m a 19 year old male and as far back as i can remember [during childhood as well] i have always had obsessions and social problems.
I have always been obsessed with numbers and dates etc, remembering phone numbers, car plates and peoples birthdays.
Limited interests such as biology, video games and conspiracy theories.
I always have a preference of being alone and when people interupt me I always flip out.
I find it very difficult making facial expressions apart from anger.
Sometimes when I get told off I cant help but laugh, it just comes out naturally.
When ever I watch television or movies most of the i imagine me doing what they do but I know i`m not literaly them
When I talk to people I rarely make eye contact and i get very nervous all the time and I find it hard imagining what life would be like with another person.
Ive always have fantasies about life and what I want to do but i just cant do it because of my social problems.
Im much better on a computer than talking to people face to face.
When i talk to myself i always imagine i`m talking to people not voices are in my head.
When ever i get excited i always do body movements what people say to me are bizzare.
Could this be autism or is it more schizophrenia or neither?
Hello, I encourage you to see a licensed mental health professional (i.e., a psychiatrist or psychologist) if you feel distraught and want a better understand of what you are experiencing.
A psychiatric evaluation is meant to lead to treatment planning and a diagnosis is only part of the evaluation process. Most psychiatric diagnoses necessitate significant impairment in functioning. In other words, it might very well not be an autism spectrum disorder or schizophrenia, but your personality.
Perceptions of reality are altered in schizophrenia (hallucinations and/or delusions) and the hallmark feature of autism spectrum disorders is deviances in social/communicative behaviors. Both are chronic and quite complicated to diagnose. I hope this is helpful to you. Thank you for visiting NetWellness.

The hair-raising suspense of The General's Daughter... the wry wit of The Gold Coast... this is vintage Nelson DeMille at the peak of his originality and the height of his powers...
Wounded in the line of duty, NYPD homicide cop John Corey is convalescing in rural eastern Long Island when an attractive young couple he knows is found shot to death on the family patio. The victims were biologists at Plum Island, a research site rumored to be an incubator for germ warfare. Suddenly, a local double murder takes on shattering global implications - and thrusts Corey and two extraordinary women into a dangerous search for the secret of Plum Island....
©1997 Nelson DeMille (P)2010 Hachette Audio
"DeMille's Mike Hammer-like cop is a chuckle-provoking winner, and the plot cleverly combines biological hazards and shiver-me-timbers pirate legends. An entertaining mix from the big-selling DeMille." (Booklist)
"Heavy wisecracking keeps the fun flowing as DeMille cranks up a thrilling, entertaining plot." (Kirkus Reviews)
"narrated to perfection"
Scott Brick does it again! The book is pretty good, but his performance of agent John Corey is superb. Great way to get the series going.
"Thanks Nelson for bringing an oldy to AUDIBLE"
I have been hooked on Audio books for about 2 years now. I have already listened to ALL the John Corey books. Love them all and the personality. I get so dissapointed when I see there are earlier books in a series that arent available in Audible... Or even worse.. Abridged versions (chills).... 1/4 way into this book I had figured this was my favorite John Corey book to date!. I am about 30 min from the end of the book.
A good FUN story line, Not the same old same old plot... again. I cant believe John Corey was that sarcastic back THEN. Feels like he was more a smart ass then then in Lion's Game. I love thr Humor, the depth of the plot. No boring spots... One of my top 10 Audibles for sure..... and Thanks again for Scott Brick!!
"Great on par with" LION'S GAME""
Lion's Game was in the top five out my 700+ audible books on file. John Corey was back at his earlier brazen, witty. intuitive (lovable) self. This book was mentioned in two other De Mille books and I had wondered why it was not available in audible form. From my grateful heart,I enjoyed this book more than any other book I have listened to this year.
Audiobooks allow book nerds like me to venture out in public and keep "reading."
Nice listen...it's nice to go back to the first John Correy book. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a nice, long listen.
"Vintage John Corey at last"
I have been checking Audible for months hoping for Plum Island to be available. Yesterday my prayers were answered and I was happily listening to the original John Corey detective story, the first of five Demille books featuring this entertaining and amazing character, within 10 minutes. Scott Brick is John Corey. Plum Island is engaging and a great listen.
"Another excellent job"
I am a fan of Nelson Demille and it doesn't hurt that one of the best narrators, Scott Brick reads most of his work online. I listened to most of the John Corey books before they released Plum Island to audio and it was referenced quite often by the author in retro comments. Really pleased with this one and happy I got it. You will not be disappointed if you get this one. Promise!
I am a husband/dad/granddad who loves books. My reviews are my subjective opinions. My hope is they will help others make buying decisions.
"Nelson DeMille and Scott Brick? Simply perfect!"
Plum Island was released in hardcover in 1997 and the audiobook was released in 2010. This is the first novel in the wonderful John Corey series. The wisecracking Corey is recovering in a Long Island beach house owned by his uncle from an injury suffered as a NYC cop. He and a local female cop work to solve a mystery on the small offshore Plum Island. There are wisecracking, murders, and lots of action and suspense. The novel easily gets five stars, but it is actually the weakest novel in the incredible John Corey series.
I read the book in 1997. I enjoyed it far more when I listened to Scott Brick read it! Brick is the best of many excellent narrators.
Follow me on Goodreads too!
"John Corey needs an attitude transplant."
I'm only two thirds of the way done, but my opinion won't change by the time I reach the end.
There is a fine line between good witty sarcastic humour and just being a wise@$$. I can't decide on which side of that line John Corey belongs, but he likes to linger on the low-side and I'm fed up.
There is only so much chauvinistic inner dialogue I can take. Perhaps it was intentional, but now it's just getting on my nerves.
I don't think I can make it through another adventure, so I think book 1 in this series will be my last.
Say something about yourself!
"I hoped someone would shoot the main character"
Good plot, and an interesting concept. But horrible absolutely horrible main character. In every situation, he is boorish and obnoxious. At first it was kinda funny, but then as the book wore on, his dialog became immature and dull. To everyone that John Corey met, he was an ass. I kept expecting to discover the interesting side of the main character. But it never happened. After a couple of hours, John Corey's dialog wasn't funny. Stopped after nine hours. Deleted from my library. Too bad, I would have liked to known how it came out.
"A Very Good Story Line, Twisting and a Great Endin"
Trimup over Evil
Not any one in particular, they were all developed.
Narration really made this one. The multiple Story Lines kept me gulued to this.
Sad when my favorite one died..., happy when in the ending ...ended Well.
Overall just a great constantly moving story line.

Look at them, everyone. They're so proud of their achievements.
New rules, new standards, new day.
Same old NCAA.
They released this long and painfully arduous Board of Directors report, and thumped their chest about new rules designed to streamline the Texas-sized telephone book that is the NCAA manual.
Here's the problem, and the proverbial fat elephant in the room: until the NCAA takes a serious look at the way it dishes out punishment—and how it clearly steers clear of favored programs—none of this means anything.
So when the NCAA proposed eight new members to the Infractions Committee, it should come as no surprise that every single one has ties to the old NCAA. Every single new member—including former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr and Georgia president Michael Adams—has lived in this protect your own world for years.
They've all been part of the membership that sat and watched the NCAA use a former North Carolina football player to investigate the most egregious case of academic fraud in the history of college sports—then said nothing when that same investigator failed to dig up information on his alma mater that local newspapers uncovered week after week. The NCAA says Wilson didn't work the UNC case; that three other investigators within his area of enforcement did. And, of course, we believe them.
They've all been part of a membership that sat and watched Boise State get hit with the dreaded "lack of institutional control" charge for providing prospective student-athletes a place to sleep (on the floor in an apartment, in one instance) and a $5 lunch, but did nothing of consequence when Ohio State players accepted cash in envelopes four months after the NCAA began investigating Tattoo-gate. The Committee on Infractions didn't hit Ohio State with an LOIC charge—which would have meant severe punishment—because the investigative committee didn't bring the charge to the infractions committee.
They've all been part of a membership that admitted it had no rule for parents shopping (see: selling) their children to the highest bidder—modern day slavery—then let Cam Newton finish the season at Auburn and lead the Tigers to the BCS National Championship because it couldn't find a way to punish a son for the sins of his father. Because how would any son know his dad was shopping him around to various elite football schools?
They've all been part of a membership that came up with something called "limited immunity" when investigating the case of a rogue booster at Miami. The NCAA gave current players a chance to speak out on the case in exchange for the right to keep playing—then told former players allegedly involved in the scandal if they didn't testify, claims from the rogue booster would be considered true and held against Miami. This, of course, completely ignores a little thing called due process.
They've all been part of a membership that has spent nearly two years investigating the simple case of a street agent steering an elite player to a program for straight cash—yet can't seem to pull the trigger on Oregon. Only after coach Chip Kelly—Mr. "We call him Will"—leaves for the NFL and takes the only guy complicit in the fake recruiting info for cash affair (football operations guy Josh Gibson) with him, do we see just how unseemly the concept of protecting sacred cows really is.
What's left at Oregon, you ask? Just squeaky clean new coach Mark Helfrich, who wasn't even mentioned in the gobs of paperwork from the ongoing investigation. You see how this works, right?
The NCAA wants to talk to Kelly, who has since left for the NFL and clearly wants no part of hurting Oregon. The NCAA wants to talk to Gibson, who has zero incentive to talk to the NCAA.
Now how important does that new proposed change of paying players an extra small stipend look? How important does it look that coaches can now contact players via any social media application?
How important does it look that the NCAA has decided to allow off-campus contact with recruits the day after their junior year begins?
How important does it look that the Committee on Infractions will grow from 10 to 18 to better serve the NCAA and help streamline case management?
Instead of a group of 10 protecting the heaviest hitters in college sports, we have a group of 18 that makes a decision—then gets to hear the president and athletic director of the program they just protected whine and complain about an "unprecedented" punishment that, in reality, is laughable at best.
Where in the world does Ohio State get the nerve to complain after avoiding an LOIC charge? Where does North Carolina get off declaring its academic fraud case isn't so bad because typical students could take the phony classes too?
From the very group charged with policing them. That's where.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants are going quickly, quietly, meekly and confusingly.
They are going, going, going ... and they probably aren't coming back.
The Giants are losing to the Cincinnati Reds in every way -- on every day -- and now the Giants are in deep and demoralizing trouble in this National League Division Series.
Sunday's dismal 9-0 loss at AT&T Park put the Giants down two games to none, on the brink of elimination and maybe dancing on the brink of many other things.
"We don't really have a choice -- our backs are against the wall," catcher Buster Posey said in a hushed postgame clubhouse. "We've got to go out and bite, scrap and claw until the end."
Left unsaid: There hasn't been a lot of scrapping and clawing so far.
Not even Tim Lincecum riding in from the bullpen for two clean innings could save the Giants on Sunday, and that event came with its own head-scratching drama.
Lincecum -- bypassed in the rotation for this series -- didn't warm up much, didn't seem to know he was actually coming into the game and still was the Giants' only successful pitcher on the night.
So there's your perfect summary of the Giants' October chaos: The only thing that worked was plugging in the guy they're trying to avoid using.
But the Giants aren't losing this series because of the chaos; they're getting chaotic because they're simply not as good as Cincinnati.
And now the series heads to Cincinnati for Game 3 on Tuesday for a possible Reds clincher. Games 4 and 5, if necessary, also would be at Great American Ball Park, one of the great home-field advantages in baseball.
"It's not exactly where we want to be," first baseman Brandon Belt said, "but at the same time it seems like we've done pretty good with our backs against the wall this season.
"We're going to go in on Tuesday looking to win."
The reality is that the fans who stuck around for the final innings spent the time hugging ushers and waving symbolic goodbyes to this team.
It was quiet when this park is supposed to be loud.
"Our plan is to go over there (to Cincinnati) and do the same thing," Belt said.
But, unless there's a Cincinnati miracle, the Giants aren't coming back for any more playoff games.
Because the Reds are the better team -- better pitching, better hitting, better balanced, better organized.
The Reds are better than the Giants at AT&T Park, and you'd figure they'll be much, much better at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati.
In Game 2 on Sunday, Reds starter Bronson Arroyo followed Mat Latos' Game 1 performance by completely dominating the Giants.
Arroyo retired the first 14 Giants he faced with a mixture of slow curves, change-ups, not-so-fastballs and various fluttering objects.
By the time Belt broke up the perfect game with a single in the fifth inning, the Giants were already down 4-0 and sinking fast.
Nobody could get on base (table-setters Angel Pagan and Marco Scutaro are a combined 1 for 17 in the two games).
Nobody hit for power (Pablo Sandoval and Hunter Pence have combined for two hits in the series).
No Giant could do much of anything.
Giants starter Madison Bumgarner couldn't come close to matching Arroyo -- like Matt Cain in Game 1, Bumgarner gave up a titanic early home run to Ryan Ludwick and couldn't halt the Reds' onslaught.
Bumgarner lasted only 41/3 innings, giving up four runs and seven hits. Saturday night, Cain lasted only five innings, giving up three runs.
Everything is falling apart -- the Giants won the 2010 World Series built on starting pitching, and that's unreliable now.
The Giants surged in the second half this season with a rush of offense, and they've managed only two runs in two games against the Reds in this series.
The Giants had a great chance to take the first game of this series when Johnny Cueto, the Reds' Game 1 starter, had to leave after eight pitches Saturday; and the Giants lost that game.
Now the Giants have to win three in a row in Cincinnati, which seems nearly impossible.
"At this point, there's not much to lose," Posey said. "It's go out and give everything you've got. I think it's as simple as that."
Nothing is going right. The Giants' heads are spinning, and their season is almost over.
That's why it's so quiet, and that's why the crowd at AT&T was saying goodbye.

I originally was going to post this within an already created thread, but the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to make as poll in order to see what other PD'ers thought.
With Roy Hibbert and George Hill already locked up in long term contracts (for better or worse) and PG coming up for an extension next season, this trade deadline (and eventually this offseason) could very well shape the Pacers roster for the immediate future.
With that said, I think the FO needs to make a decision on what we're going to do. Because as we stand now, we're either going to barely make the playoffs, and lose in the first round, or we're going to barely MISS the playoffs, have a mid level draft pick, and stand the chance of losing our most important player THIS season (David West) for nothing. At 33, he's going to rightfully want to win NOW.
I know we're awaiting Danny's return. But I'm not so sure we can count on a player with what sounds like a somewhat serious knee injury to come in and help us be very competitive. I'm not saying that it can't happen, but at this point it's a "best case possible" scenario, so I feel its smart to plan for him to either not come back this year, or plan for him to come back but not be able to give us the consistent 18+ ppg that we need.
With that said, we have to ask ourselves. Are we in "win-now" mode?
If so then we need to look to move one or two of our cheap bench expiring contracts, package them with a draft pick, and try to pick up a decent bench player that can contribute for the rest of the season. A lot of non playoff teams are going to look to get under that luxury tax threshold, and draft picks are always valuable. I believe if we can add a consistent and capable player to our bench (preferably on the wing/at the point) then I think we could easily be a 5 seed. Considering Danny's injury, I would think that our season was fairly successful with a 4-5 seed.
If we aren't in "win-now" mode, then I say we shut Danny down for the rest of the season, and look to move West for some younger players and a draft pick. Not a popular choice by any means, and he very well could WANT to return to this team next yr. BUT...there will be many contenders/playoff teams that could use a player like West. If we could somehow snag a few young players still on rookie deals, plus a draft pick, then it may be wise to call this season a loss, and try for a quick rebuild with younger players. If we were able to get a few young players, we may still be able to sneak into the playoffs as an 8 seed. The only difference would be that we'd have a two draft picks and a few new young players to supplement a returning Danny Granger. We could very well be right back on track NEXT season.
I'm honestly torn on what I think we should do. I really like David West on this team, and I'd like to think that Danny coming back and moving Lance to the bench will push us to the 4/5 seed range. But I look at the overall talent level on this team, and compare it to other teams that are at, and around our level (PHI, DEN, UTA, etc) nd they seem to have some hope for the immediate future, be it young talent or cap space. We seemingly had both just a season ago, but one seemingly below average offseason, and one injury to Danny later, and we're back to being a .500 team.
So what do YOU think is the best route for the Pacers moving forward?
1. Look to move our draft pick in order to make a trade for a competent bench player?
2. Look to move West for younger pieces/draft picks?
3. Stand-pat, wait for Danny to come back.
4. Other (with an explanation)

NEW YORK, NY — The National Father's Day Council, a nonprofit that recognizes modern day role model fathers, has named Terry Lundgren, chairman, president and CEO of Macy's Inc., as a recipient of its 2013 "Father of the Year" Award. Lundgren joins President Bill Clinton, Founder of the William J. Clinton Foundation and 42nd President of the United States, as a fellow honoree. The awards will be presented at the 72nd Annual Father of the Year Awards in New York City on Tuesday, June 11.
With proceeds benefitting Save the Children's U.S. Programs, the awards luncheon will take place at 12:00 p.m. at the Grand Hyatt New York Hotel.
Lundgren began his retailing career in 1975 as a trainee with Bullock's, a Los Angeles-based division of Federated Department Stores, Inc. (the corporate predecessor of Macy's). He held positions of increasing responsibility over the next decade in buying, store management, human resources, and served as the division's director of stores, eventually becoming president and CEO of Bullocks Wilshire, then an upscale chain of specialty department stores owned by Federated. Lundgren left Federated after its acquisition by the Campeau Corporation in 1988, joining Neiman Marcus in Dallas, Texas, where he served as Chairman and CEO. He returned to Federated in April of 1994 as chairman and CEO of the Federated Merchandising Group. He assumed his current titles of chairman, president and CEO of Macy's Inc. in 2004, and he led the acquisition of The May Department Stores Company in August 2005.
Lundgren is a native of Long Beach, California, and a graduate of the University of Arizona where he is an active supporter of The Terry J. Lundgren Center for Retailing.
He has two daughters and currently resides in New York City with his wife, Tina.
"We are truly privileged to have such an esteemed and well-respected retail industry veteran accept this award," said Dan Orwig, Chairman of the National Father's Day Committee, and VP, Group Director Men's Division Itochu Prominent.

I'm not sure if other gem industries are plagued in the same way.

is 'Tep' your husband, yes? When it comes to that bit about 'providing her with adornments' (regarding how the husband should minister to his wife), well he would appear to have that one covered, that's for sure! You've got some fine gems there. Enjoy them but do remember you can't take them with you, ok? (I know that you know that!)
Thanks for sharing though. I just mused that, if what I've read in the suttas is correct, if you dutifully follow the lay Buddhist Path in all it's aspects, giving to the Sangha, purifying virtue more and more, doing Eight precepts on special days too etc, you might get reborn as a Deva / Devi in Heaven with a whole mansion full of these gems hehe. (Or from your meditation, you might get disenchanted with gemstones, and experience an even sweeter happiness. Either way there's sukha, only varying in degree and quality).
In peace and metta

Dear Manas,
Buddha's saying:
"Long have you (repeatedly) experienced the death of a father. The tears you have shed over the death of a father while transmigrating & wandering this long, long time — crying & weeping from being joined with what is displeasing, being separated from what is pleasing — are greater than the water in the four great oceans."
I cried a river when my mom/dad/brother died too

Potassium Nitrate Affecting Neurotransmitters
I used Sensodyne and it is disrupting the chemicals that promote sleep. How long does it take to rid the body of this chemical? Can the damage be undone. My Dr. wants me to take Elavil Amytryptyline, but it makes me dizzy. is there another way or do i just wait until it leaves my body? My sinuses are a little raw also. Thanks1
Thank you for contacting NetWellness. Sensodyne contains the active ingredients potassium nitrate and sodium fluoride. The potassium nitrate is thought to block the transmission of sensitive nervous impulses, which helps decrease the painful sensitivity of the teeth to sweet or sour and hot or cold substances. There is not any available information in any literature or studies that suggests potassium nitrate causes a disruption of sleep. Nitrates in general have a half life of 5 hours, which means once taken, nitrates would be out of your system in 16.5 hours.
Insomnia is a common complaint.
Some symptoms of insomnia are difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, and difficulty with early morning awakening. Sometimes insomnia only lasts for a short time and can be easily managed. Persistent insomnia is more troublesome and can affect work, school, social relationships, and health.
Many conditions are associated with insomnia such as depression, anxiety, allergies, and pain. Much of the time insomnia is simply the result of poor sleep habits. Maintaining a sleep diary for one to two weeks is a good way to start. Keeping track of sleep times, caffeine and alcohol ingestion, etc. may provide clues as to the cause of insomnia.Behavioral changes are often all that is needed to improve sleep. By maintaining good sleep habits (sleep hygiene), the need for medication may be avoided. Good sleep hygiene includes:
1. Stick to a regular sleep schedule, exercise regularly.
2. Go to bed only when sleepy.
3. Put your worries away when you go to bed.
4. Do something relaxing and enjoyable before bedtime.
5. Make your bedroom quiet and comfortable.
6. Avoid large meals just before bedtime.
7. Use your bedroom only for sleep and sexual activity.
8. If you cannot sleep within 15 to 20 minutes, get up and go to another room. Return to bed only when drowsy.
9. Remove the clock from eyesight.
10. Do not nap during the day; if you must nap, limit it to 30 minutes in the early afternoon.
11. Avoid alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine use.
12. Avoid frequent use of sedatives.
13. Schedule outdoor time at the same time each day.
14. Have your pharmacist check your medications for potential sleep effects.
15. Avoid bright lights (e.g. from TV, computers, video games) before bed.
Relaxation therapy and stimulus control therapy can also be tried for insomnia.
Elavil (Amitriptyline) is a tricyclic antidepressant that is commonly used to treat insomnia. Some common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, nausea, weight changes, trouble focusing, and trouble going to the bathroom.

Lawmakers to fix glitch affecting vets' drivers licenses
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina lawmakers are promising to fix a glitch in a new law keeping some National Guard members from getting a special veteran's designation on their driver's licenses.
Republican Sen. Jake Knotts and Democrat Rep. James Smith said Thursday they will introduce bills to change the current law for the next session.
The original bill was intended to allow those who served honorably in the Armed Forces to have the word "veteran" below their photo. But the law requires a form National Guard members don't get unless they are called to active duty or serve in a combat zone.
Department of Motor Vehicles spokeswoman Beth Parks says the agency must follow the law as it is written.
The designation helps veterans get discounts and other benefits.

It's hard to believe that October is right around the corner, but it is. Which means it's time, once again, for October Unprocessed. Andrew of Eating Rules has thrown down the gauntlet- are you ready to pick it up and take his challenge?
To go a month without eating any processed foods.
Some of us at the mill took the challenge last year and it was far more challenging (ha!) than I originally envisioned. Turns out it gets pretty sticky when trying to define processed foods and I've borrowed (liberally) from Andrew here to explain what unprocessed means.
Unprocessed food is any food that could be made by a person with reasonable skill in a home kitchen with readily available, whole-food ingredients.
Andrew calls this the "The Kitchen Test." Could you make this item in your kitchen? Can you identify and pronounce all of the ingredients? If the answer is no, the food in question likely falls on the side of processed.
It gets even stickier when you start thinking about things like white flour and white sugar- both processed foods that probably don't pass the test. However, a whole month of not eating white flour (we commend you if you can make it) sounds near impossible when you start thinking about trying to eat out at all during the month. The key of this challenge is thinking about food in a new way- being conscious of what comprises the food you eat—not trying to kill yourself being perfect. White sugar might just sneak in one day by accident, but if you can consciously understand what is in your food, you win.
There is no right or wrong way to play this game and only you know how seriously you're taking it. Andrew allows that some mistakes will happen and some deliberate choices to eat a processed food are ok- as long as they are deliberate and not mindless.
We challenge you to join us in October Unprocessed. I'm giving away four gift packs—that means four lucky winners. Each winner will get to select ANY four Bob's Red Mill® brand products of their choosing. By ANY, we mean small prepacked items, in other words, not a 25 lb bag.
How to enter:
There is only one way to be entered and only one entry per person. Head over and take Andrew's pledge. Then, report back to us here and let us know that you took the challenge in the comments section on this blog post. I will select the four winners from all who take the challenge (and tell us about it) by 11:59 pm on 9/30/11.
The winners of our giveaway are:
- Nicole Callen
- Melissa Hudson-Gant
- Christopher Sorel
- Abby (abbylizzy)
Congrats to our winners and thank you to everyone who took the pledge for October Unprocessed! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Good luck!

Organizing Party - Easter Sunday...
As winter turns into spring, as we gear up for the upcoming primary election, as we finalize the art and materials for the upcoming printings, we are also holding an organizing party for the "Occupy Congress" campaign. The party will include music, cookies, food, and a chance to meet candidate, staff, volunteers, friends, supporters and to join in and support our efforts.
The party will be held at -
The Clubhouse
505 Cypress Point Drive in Mountain View.
F29 - Shut Down the Corporations - Report from Oakland...
Last week I interviewed David Osborne on Community Currency to ask him about how the idea of it came into being and how the organizing was going, as well as the thought and strategic motives behind it. I thought it was a brilliant, great idea and was glad to learn that 70 cities were participating, but I was sorry that the local groups were focusing most of their attention on the March Occupy Education actions.
January 27, 2012 - A Deluge of Events, Ideas...
My son and I have been working hard all week on campaign materials, the new website, my radio show. People have been phoning, volunteering, helping in many ways. An old friend, and gifted communicator, W. David Kubiak, who used to direct 911Truth.org and knows the complex language that I've been struggling with (Joomla) is in alignment with what we're doing and hopefully will make our website more functional, less embarrassing, and publicly presentable.
Class Warfare in America - Join the 99%
Occupy Congress! Pre- Kickoff Organizing Party, Saturday, January 21, 2012
It is clear that the vast majority of Americans are not being served by Congress, nor the policies which have set back human and civil rights throughout the world, and threaten all people with physical and institutional violence. Perhaps a government of, by and for the people was never a reality, but legitimate governments serve their people, and those which kill, exploit, impoverish, harm people deserve to be challenged. The Occupy Movement has risen in response to the most egregious crimes committed by Wall Street with the assistance of government.
January 9, 2012 - Occupy Congress
Ten years ago yesterday, we marched on Senator Feinstein's office to demand an investigation of 9/11. Yesterday we marched on the San Jose Courthouse where the infamous ruling that has been used to grant corporations the rights of people was written. Occupy San Jose organized the rally which was followed by a General Assembly.
To Be or Not to Be – Reform or Revolution – Fear or Love?
There are many paths to the mountain top. Ninety-nine percent of the people would agree that our goal is a just, peaceful, equitable, world, liberated from the shackles of violent, deceptive, corporate rule, with a future where human needs and the planet are honored and respected over profits.
Reporting from Chicago...
I've been in Chicago since last week attending the American Monetary Institute's Annual Conference. At the same time, I've been trying to network with the people in front of the Chicago Federal Reserve Bank - Occupy Chicago who have acted in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street and the larger movement challenging the corporate control over government, democracy, for the benefit of 1% and at the expense of the vast majority of people and planet.
Reporting on the Bay Area 9/11 Truth Events to Reclaim the Truth and the Future
Since 2004, the Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance has held 9/11 truth film festivals at the San Francisco War Memorial Veterans Building and at the Grand Lake Theater in Oakland with the generous support of the Grand Lake Theater owner, Allen Michaan. As the ten- year anniversary drew near, we began to plan an expanded program of film festivals to commemorate this significant date. We also discovered that the annual Power to the Peaceful Festival, which we have always participated in through a march and a rally, was cancelled.

Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Powder
Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Powder Reviews
A Powder to LOVE!In my early twenties, I recall reading an article which consisted of a compilation of beauty tips from much-admired beauties when it came to aging well (they ranged from Greta Garbo to Raquel Welch and Ursula Andress). All said to avoid face powder, as it tends to cake and linger in fine lines and crevices, making them more noticeable and your complexion more haggard-looking. It especially addre...read moressed keeping powder away from the eye area. I never forgot that article. I began to note how women would use powder continually throughout the day to keep shine at bay, dating themselves with a cakey, dry, unattractive look. Even when my skin was far more oily, I began to use blotting tissues to rid my complexion of the annoying shine rather than turn to a compact. Make Up For Ever's "HD Microfinish Powder" has changed my mind about powder completely. It is a unique, very finely-milled translucent formulation. It is completely free of talc and composed of mineral silica. It softens the appearance of furrows and disguises pores beautifully, leaving a tender glow. Sephora has a small size for only $16.00, and a little of this powder goes a very long way. This can be used on cleansed skin or over foundation. Make Up For Ever suggests using a kabuki brush, swirling gently in the powder, tapping off any excess product, and then sweeping from the center of the face outward. One of the beautiful aspects is that this CAN be used around eyes to set concealer and keep it in place for a long time or over a blemish which has been disguised. I like to use the sponge made by Beautyblender.® Dampen it slightly and gently pat in a stippling motion rather than dragging the sponge across your face. Dark circles and imperfections disappear, leaving you luminous and flawless. — 4 years, 5 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

Great (update)For most people (even make up savvy people), they do not know how to use this powder correctly. I admit, I was one of them too. You only need a TINY amount of this powder to cover your entire face. What I LOVE about this is that it's Talc free which Talc can become toxic over time. It's 100 percent silica, but it's NOT going to cause breakouts or won't shimmer. Also, I like that this doesn't compl...read moreetely give you a flat matte finish. It gives you a very natural complexion without oily shine. The BIGGEST tip is to pour a TINY amount into the cap and work your brush into it. If you can see powder globs on the brush, then you're using too much! After learning how to use this powder properly, I have fallen in love with it and it's the perfect powder to touch up throughout the day to remove shine and excess oil. One little jar will last you a very long time, but imagine how long the full size jar is going to last you! Give it a try--and DON'T use too much!!!!! — 5 years, 6 months agovolta | 566 reviews

MAKE UP FOR EVER HD MICROFINISH POWDERThis is an amazing product! I admit I was a bit skeptical but I can really tell a difference in the way my skin looks after I apply this. I use it as a finishing power and it gives me a soft focus, super blended look. I've had no problems with the product looking white on my skin after I apply either. I have problem skin (I go to a derm on a regular basis) and this has caused no breakouts or probl...read moreems of anykind. I purchased the smaller size and used it practically everyday for two months and there is still so much left! I love it and can't believe it took me so long to try it. I don't even feel "done" if I don't use it now. Every time I would go into Sephora I would ask " what's the best setting powder for SUPER oily skin" and without fail, each person would recommend this and without fail I would buy something else.... So I finally was over all these products that claimed to control oil ( mac's blot powder drove me to this product) and bought the small $15 dollar size. I'm looking in the mirror right now and I have a face that is free of an oily mess! WOOT WOOT! I put my mu on at 6:30am and it is now almost 11:30, so this is a good sign! I do blot once in the afternoon but it's totally worth it! I really enjoy this. I use it every day over my Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse, and it works perfectly to keep down the inevitable shine. I have VERY oily skin and very little can be done to prevent me from looking like a disco ball at the end of the day, but this certainly helps. Best of all, it's ACTUALLY translucent. Other "translucent" powders usually give a whitish cast, but this one is undetectable. I have the smaller size, but I can't imagine ever running out. I've had this for a month now and haven't made a dent. — 5 years, 5 months agomihshelle | 182 reviews

UNDISCLOSED LOCATION IN NORTH CAUCASUS, Russia - The parents of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects have retreated to a village in southern Russia to shelter from the spotlight and abandoned plans for now to travel to the United States, the father of the suspects told Reuters on Sunday.
Anzor Tsarnaev said he believed he would not be allowed to see his surviving son DzhokharY, who was captured and has been charged in connection with the April 15 bomb blasts that killed three people and wounded 264.
"Unfortunately I can't help my child in any way. I am in touch with Dzhokhar's and my own lawyers. They told me they would let me know (what to do)," Tsarnaev said in an interview in the village where he relocated with the suspects' mother.
He agreed to the face-to-face interview on condition that the village's location in the North Caucasus, a string of mainly Muslim provinces in southern Russia, not be disclosed.
"I am not going back to the United States. For now I am here. I am ill," said Tsarnaev. His face gaunt and tired, he added he suffered from high blood pressure and a heart condition.
Tsarnaev had said in the North Caucasus province of Dagestan on Thursday that he planned to travel to the United States to see Dzhokhar and bury his elder son, Tamerlan, who was shot dead by police in a firefight four days after the bombings.
In Sunday's interview he said he had decided to move away from the family home in Dagestan to the new location because he wanted to keep a low profile.
Dressed in a black shirt and black trousers, he passionately defended his sons' innocence, saying they had nothing to do with Islamist extremists.
"I feel hopeless. We are simple people. We are trying to understand. We are attacked from all sides," he said.
"I don't know whether I should talk or stay silent. I don't want to harm my child. ... We are used to all sorts of things here but we didn't expect this from the United States."
The suspects' mother, Zubeidat, was also with him in the location but did not wish to speak. The couple are divorced.
The Tsarnaevs are ethnic Chechens who lived in the Central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan and in Dagestan before emigrating to the United States with their children.
The parents returned to Dagestan two years ago, and Tamerlan spent the first half of 2012 there.
Pacing nervously in the garden of a large house where he was staying, the father said he had no hope that Tamerlan's body would be released by the U.S. authorities to be buried in his homeland.
"They won't give us his body," he said, his voice breaking with emotion. "We wont be able to bury him in our land."
The North Caucasus has seen numerous conflicts since the fall of the Soviet Union, including two major Russian wars against separatists in Chechnya and an Islamist insurgency over the past decade that is increasingly focused on Dagestan.�
