A Guest Post by Gaz Copeland
What is "Ego Bait"?
Ego Bait, for those not in the know is traditionally described as creating a piece of content with the main intention of appealing to a target's ego and (hopefully) getting a link, share or recognition from them in return.
The target is generally an influential blogger in you niche, a brand or a potential employer. Ego bait is often coupled with another popular link building tactic to ensure maximum effect, ego bait lists, case studies, interviews, surveys and crowd sourced content are all extremely effective marriages.
Here are how others describe ego bait:
"The process of creating content almost solely for the purpose of gleaning links off others" – Ben Norman
"Essentially producing something that strokes the ego of the person/people/company featured." – James Agate
How have I used Ego Bait?
Personally I have created a number of ego bait pieces over on my SEO blog and in other places around the web, I really enjoy creating this style of post and I guess they have been successful for me over time.
One of my first ego articles was the "Awesome SEO's on Twitter" it was fun to put together and I felt I was giving a little back to some of my favourite SEO's who in my eye's weren't getting anywhere near enough credit.
"What's the problem" I hear you ask? "If it works, you've done it yourself why does it need a re-brand?" you say..
Good question, I'm glad you asked! Just look at some of the language I've used above:
- Bait
- Target
- Ego
- Gleaning
Hardly "pleasant" is it? And that's my major issue, ego bait in it's traditional sense seems to me a very dirty, manipulative and underhand tactic. You are a cold calculated soul, carefully stalking and selecting you victims, your only intention to appeal to their narcissism and to trick them into doing your bidding. In my experience thankfully that couldn't be further from the truth.
I didn't create my "SEO's who rap" article with the intention of tricking the "targets" into linking to me or sharing my content. (Although that did actually happen) I created it because it was something I had observed and I thought it would be pretty fun to put those guys together in one place.
I'll tell you straight, I don't know what the solution is, maybe you can tell me? I'd be really interested in hearing alternative names for ego bait which truly convey the process without such negative undertones.
What I do know is that "Ego Bait" is in dire need of a rebrand. If you are looking to create a piece of content to trick somebody into linking to you, or to blow smoke up their { ass | arse } then you are doing it wrong. It won't work, they will smell it a mile off and it will backfire, especially in the SEO industry.
To create successful ego bait the first thing to do is stop trying to create ego bait, because that's not what it is. First and foremost it's something of value, it's interesting content, it's sincere.

Ankle & wrist popping
I use to sprain my ankles all the time from age 7 to about 11 and i havent done it in a while[im 16 now] & a couple years back i flew off a motor scooter. And well now I will move my wrist or ankle in the slightest movement and POP POP POP. My wrist seem to hurt a little sometimes and my ankles get sore & appear swollen at times. I want to know if I should be worried. Help! Thanks.
From the information you have given, it is hard to give a definitive answer as to what the problem could be. Had you been experiencing any of the "popping" sensations prior to your accident? If not, did you see a doctor and were x-rays or any diagnostic tests done of the wrist and ankle after the accident?
There are several things that could cause "popping" in a joint. If pain accompanies the "popping", there could be possible degeneration and/or cartilage damage or there could be possible damage to the bones themselves. Without knowing where the "popping" is coming from, it is hard to give a better answer than that.
With your age, I would highly recommend you follow up with your family physician to discuss this problem further. As you get older, the problem could progress. It would be best to be proactive and address the problem now.
I hope this information helps. Best of luck!

6 Apps to Tame Your Enormous Phone
The Consumer Electronics Show has unofficially pre-opened to the non-public with CES Unveiled, a press-preview two days before the show. We've fought our way through rabid reporters and photographers to get the scoop on a few of the most interesting (and baffling) gadgets at the event.
At 27 inches, this tablet computer is really more of a table computer—similar to the Microsoft Surface from several years ago, but squarely aimed at consumers. The Horizon can function as a standard Windows 8 computer, but can also be laid flat on a tabletop (or turned into a tabletop with an accessory stand) and used by multiple people from multiple angles. To enable this sort of multi-user experience, Lenovo has created a separate UI called Aura, which supports up to 10 touch inputs and let's users do things like share photos or videos in personalized windows pushed across the table. It also makes for a pretty slick gaming device, with included accessories such as stick-on joysticks, air-hockey paddles, and a die with integrated positioning sensors that wirelessly tells the computer which way it landed. Lenovo reps say it should hit the market this summer for around $1600.
The 10 Tech Terms to Know in 2013

Let me start this post off with a confession: I am not a runner. I exercise, but I don't run. The only running I do is after our pup to keep this or that from becoming his next victim.
Two weeks ago we got a phone call from Michael Sandler, author of Running Barefoot. He was in town and wanted to come meet us. My coworker, Julie, was beyond excited to meet Michael and his running/writing/life partner Jessica so we set up a tour and meeting with them. I was a little nervous to meet someone who has built their life around running in a way that throws conventional running on its head.
You see, Michael and Jessica run barefoot. Everywhere. In all seasons. According to them, barefoot running is a more natural way to run. When you wear running shoes, your stride lands you on your heel first. Barefoot, you land on your toes first, which allows for natural shock absorption as the rest of your foot hits the ground. Landing heel first passes the shock up through the body and is part of what leads to bad knees and hips. Being the novice runner that I am, I had all sorts of questions. Jessica told me the key is starting slow. Your feet will be more sensitive at first and your legs will tire more easily. Like any new sport, take baby steps and before you know it, you'll be up and running.
Michael and Jessica have a wonderful life philosophy, "Feel the Earth beneath your feet and run free." We talked about food and nutrition- Michael is gluten free, mostly raw and vegan. He fuels himself on gluten free oats, flax, chia, hemp and nutritional yeast, plus lots of other things to keep his diet varied. The two spend most of their time on the road, with stops at their Boulder home occasionally to refuel and recharge. We met them at the end of a long summer about to start a full month off. Both were excited to go home and recharge for the publication of their next book and get ready for some marathons this fall. I can only imagine running a marathon barefoot!
We left this meeting feeling excited to try our feet at barefoot running and we want to share our excitement with you. Michael and Jessica gave us signed copies of Barefoot Running to share with you. I have 12 copies (they were so generous) to share with you.
This book is simply amazing. It gives step-by-step training advice, tips and tricks, guidance on nutrition and is, essentially, a how-to for barefoot running. I love the title of Part One, "Why on Earth Would You Want to Run Barefoot?" Isn't that what we all wonder when hearing about running barefoot. Good information coupled with good methodology make for an inspirational read. Now, I know this book is not for everyone. Not everyone is a runner, nor is every runner ready to rethink how they run.
If you are ready to rethink how you run or take up running for the first time, like me, this book will inspire you to try a new way of logging miles. One that will undoubtedly help you stay fit physically and spiritually.
How to Win:
I'm giving you a couple of ways to win this time.
Mandatory Entry: Simply leave us a comment here and tell us what intrigues you about running barefoot.
For a bonus entry, visit RunBare's facebook page and "like" it (facebook.com/RunBare). THEN, come back here and tell us that you did it.
That's it, you can get two entries. I'll pick 12 winners from all who comment by 11:59 on 08/14/11.

Guyer close to Rays return
HOUSTON -- Rays outfielder Brandon Guyer went 1-for-6 for Triple-A Durham as the designated hitter Saturday night.
With his return to the Rays getting closer, the question of what his role will be came up Sunday morning. Rookie outfielder Kevin Kiermaier has started 11 straight games, and has hit .385 with 10 extra-base hits in his recent stretch.
"I don't know, I haven't put a whole lot of thought into that yet," manager Joe Maddon said. "Guyer was playing well, real well. We'll just wait to see how that plays out."
Guyer has been out since suffering a left thumb fracture on May 26. He was hitting .262 for the Rays this season, with one home run and six RBIs.
He's expected to return to the outfield Sunday for Durham. Maddon wants to make sure Guyer gets enough at-bats before returning to Tampa Bay.

LITTLE Jamie Greenwood, who has shown great resilience in his short life, will meet his favourite TV character when he visits Peppa Pig World this weekend, thanks to the Adver.
The eight-year-old, who is autistic, was granted his Christmas Wish last winter after being nominated by his step-mum Kyla Dean of Abbey Meads.
Jamie, his father Mark, sister Megan, Kyla and her three-year-old daughter Matilda Harrison, as well as two other family members, will go to the amusement park in Hampshire on Saturday.
They will spend the night at a hotel before returning to Peppa Pig World on Sunday for a second day of fun.
The Chalet School pupil can only speak a few words and uses a picture exchange communication system.
He also has low muscle tone, is asthmatic and suffers from Marcus Gunn Jaw Winking syndrome, which causes his eyelid to jerk upwards.
Most recently he was told he needed hearing aids in both ears.
But despite everything he has been through, Jamie has remained a happy child with many hobbies, including a fascination for Peppa Pig.
Mark, 42, said: "He gets on with it. He realises now that he might be different. He does try to communicate but he gets frustrated sometimes. He can only say a few words.
"But generally he is laid back and plods along. He is quite placid.
"He does deserve this and his sister Megan deserves it as well. She is nine but she has grown up fast. She takes on the role of looking after him sometimes. They are very close.
"He won't know it's happening until he gets there. He will be excited when he gets to the gates and thinks 'yes, that's what we are doing today'.
"Jamie and Kyla's daughter Matilda are fascinated by Peppa. They watch it on the telly all the time. You can wave your hand in front of them and they barely move."
Housebuilder Persimmon donated £500 towards the trip, which paid for a night's bed and breakfast at a hotel near Southampton, and entry for two days to Peppa Pig World.

WE BELIEVE James and his crewmates are still alive."
That is the message from the families of four missing yachtsmen who are putting pressure on the US Government to restart the search for the Cheeki Rafiki and her crew.
A huge search operation covering 4,000 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean was launched by the US Coastguard, but it was called off on Sunday.
Now a petition calling for the search to be resumed has 115,000 people have signed an online petition calling for the search to be resumed.
The men – 23-year-old James Male from Romsey, 21-year-old Andrew Bridge from Surrey, 52-year-old Steve Warren and 56-year-old Paul Goslin, both from Somerset – were on their way back to Southampton from a sailing event in the Caribbean.
Today their families are calling on Foreign Secretary William Hague to intervene.
Mr Male's father, Graham, said: "Our main goal has to be to get the search reinstated.
The longer it takes, the harder it will become to find them."
Mr Male's family have spoken to Romsey and Southampton North MP Caroline Nokes, who is acting as an intermediary with Conservative colleague Mr Hague.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, the local MP for one of the missing men, has appealed to the US Coast Guard not to give up and entrepreneur and adventurer Sir Richard Branson has called on vessels near the area to keep a lookout.
Mr Hunt, MP for South West Surrey, the constituency in which Mmissing Andrew Bridge lives, tweeted his support for the search to restart.
He wrote: ''Desperate 4 families of missing yachtsman,one from Farnham. I know US Coastguard has done masses but pls don't stop looking.2 soon 2 give up''.
An online petition asking the Coastguard to start the search again had passed 115,000 signatures on the change.org website this morning.
Family friend James Natasha Phillips has also designed a logo to help keep support building.
Ms Nokes said: "What we are conscious of is that these are highly trained yachtsmen with a top-ofthe- range life raft, and what the families are keen to emphasize is that these aren't weekend sailors and will have lots of training.
"They want additional searching when visibility has improved and these men given every chance of survival.
Heather McIlroy, head teacher at Mr Male's former school, The Mountbatten School in Romsey, described him as a "very popular student who loved the outdoor life and played an active part in the wider life of the school."
She added: "James's positivity and commitment served as a fine example to other students. We remain hopeful for a positive outcome."
A spokesman for the Foreign Office said: "We are aware of a missing yacht off the East Coast of the USA with four British nationals on board. We are in continual contact with the US Coastguard and are providing consular assistance to the families."
When asked if the department believed if the US search had been comprehensive enough, she added: "Not for us to make an assessment from here, but we've been in continual contact with the US Coastguard and our coastguard in the UK.
"The US Coastguard has given us assurances that they have conducted a fully exhaustive search."
Andrew Pindar, who runs the GAC Pindar racing team, said that crew members could still have been trapped inside the Cheeki Rafiki's hull when it was spotted by the Greek container ship Maersk Kure.
He cited the example of Ton y Bullimore, who survived on a pocket of air under his capsized yacht in the Southern Ocean for five days before being rescued in 1997.
Mr Bridge was being paid by Southampton-based yacht training and charter company Stormforce Coaching for his role as captain. A spokeswoman for the firm said. He had taken part in Antigua Week together with Mr Male, Mr Goslin and Mr Warren, all described as "very experienced offshore yachtsmen".

Recipe Remix: Pumpkin Crème Brulee Recipe
Year-round, our Black-Bottom Crème Brulee is one of the favorite ways to end a meal at our waterfront San Diego restaurant Baleen. While I can't give away that top-secret formula, I figured we would share a similar crème brulee recipe (with a twist) that is perfect for this time of year.Â
This Pumpkin Crème Brulee recipe is one of my favorite seasonal dishes since it combines a timeless dessert with traditional holiday flavors, making it a unique, unexpected ending to a Thanksgiving dinner or Christmas brunch. Try this unique holiday dessert recipe just once, and you'll learn that despite its fancy name, crème brulee is a sweet, simple dish that will earn you lots of kudos this holiday season without a lot of effort.
Depending on the ramekin size, this recipe yields 4-6 servings.Â
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 pinches nutmeg
- 1 pinch ginger
- 1 pinch ground cloves
- 4 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/3 cup coarse sugar or raw sugar
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium saucepan, heat the whipping cream, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves over medium heat, stirring occasionally just until it comes to a boil. Immediately turn off the heat and set aside to infuse for at least 15 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks with granulated sugar. Whisking constantly, gradually pour in the hot cream mixture, then whisk in the pumpkin puree. Pour the mixture into ovenproof ramekins and arrange in a hot water bath with water level halfway up the side of the ramekin. Bake in the center of the oven until almost set but still a bit soft in the center, approximately 40 minutes. The custard should shimmy a bit when you shake the pan (don't worry - it will firm up more as it cools). Remove from the water bath and let cool 15 minutes. Tightly cover each ramekin with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic does not touch the surface of the custard. Refrigerate at least 2 hours, though consistency is much thicker and desirable closer to 24 hours of setting time.
When ready to serve, preheat a broiler to very hot, or fire up your kitchen torch. Uncover the chilled custards and pour a layer of sugar (either regular white granulated or raw turbinado – brown sugar burns too easily) onto the top of each custard. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet or in a roasting pan and broil until the sugar is melted and well browned (1 to 2 minutes), or hold kitchen torch 3-4 inches away from sugar and move in slow, circular motions until all sugar is melted and slightly brown. Let cool 1 minute before serving.

WITH rain pouring down across Worcestershire, two flood warnings have been issued for brooks in the county.
The Environment Agency issued a flood alert for the Bow and Piddle Brook, which currently stands at about 0.73m and is expected to hit levels of up to 2.3m tonight.
An alert has also been issued for the River Isbourne, Badsey Brook, Honeybourne Brook, Bretforton Brook and Littleton Brook and its tributaries.
The Environment Agency's manager for Worcestershire Dave Throup tweeted: "I can confirm driving conditions in #worcestershire are appalling. Huge amounts of surface water. Please take extreme care."
The rain is expected to have cleared up by about 9pm but will be followed by an extremely cold night, meaning there is a possibility of ice on roads across the county.

What if the Warrior and Bulldog didn't leave the WWF in 1992?
by, 03-22-2013 at 01:34 PM (16533 Views)
Alternative Universe 9
Summerslam 1992, Wembly arena in London England. Macho Man Randy Savage lost (via countout) to the Ultimate Warrior in the WWF championship match. Later in the main event, the British Bulldog defeated Bret Hart for the Intercontential championship in front of a home crowd of 80, 000.
This probably would rank as one of the Bulldogs greatest wrestling moments. However, when the next PPV rolls round (Survivor Series 92) both men are gone. One of the stories going round was that they were caught with some naughty medicine that made them bigger, and they were shown the door.
But how would the WWF play out if they didn't leave?
Well first off, lets deal with the next PPV Survivor Series. The Bulldog was scheduled to defend the IC title against the Mountie. It would be fair to say that the Bulldog would have very likely defended successfully. However, that does leave us with the Yokozuna/Virgil match that was added to the card whenever the Bulldog/Mountie match never happened. This is Yokozuna's debut and where he makes his big first impression impact, so we can't really leave him off the card due to his dominance in 1993.
We'll add Yokozuna to the team of the Headshrinkers and Virgil to the team of High Energy, changing the opening match from a tag match to a 6 man tag match.
As for the Warrior, he was due to tag with Randy Savage against Ric Flair and the debuting, Scott 'Razor Ramon' Hall. What ended up happening was Mr Perfect took the Warriors spot and the team of Savage and Perfect won by a DQ. If Warrior stayed then they would have won regardless, either by a similar DQ finish or with Flair taking the pin from Savage (Wouldn't be a good start for Razor Ramon getting pinned on his PPV debut).
Next up is the Royal Rumble. According to the rumours from over the years, the main event was supposed to be Bret Hart defending the WWF title against the Warrior in a face vs face match. This would be a good chance to cement Bret as a serious main eventer by getting a clean pinfall victory over the Warrior. Something similar to what Hogan did to the Warrior just three years earlier
This leaves Razor Ramon out but with the British Bulldog as the Intercontential Champion then this would make a good pairing. It could potentially be a good time to crown Razor Ramon his first title. However, it may be better to hold off that victory a little longer and have Bulldog successfully defend his title a second time on PPV.
Marty Janetty and Shawn Michaels originally fought for the IC title at the Rumble but this time the match will take place as a normal one on one. Shawn will take the victory as before and will prepare in the following weeks for his Wrestlemania match against the Bulldog for the IC title.
After the Rumble, this is where things could get complicated regarding the Warrior. After suffering a PPV loss to Bret, it would seem what would make sense is for to turn the Warrior heel (!) and fued with his once long time enemy, now partner, Randy Savage. Although they feuded at length in the past, it was Warrior who was the face while Savage was the heel. This would be the roles reversed.
The problem is, the Warrior was not very keen on turning heel. Rumour had it that there was plans for a turn at Summerslam 92 but Warrior turned it down.
Another issue to take into account is Hogan returning again to the WWF. Would this knock the Warrior's nose out of joint? With a returning Hulkster, the WWF could push for Hogan/Warrior II (possibly at Wrestlemania 9) but after losing a PPV already, Warrior may feel a second straight loss would hit his 'stock value'.
It might be fair to say, that the Warrior could just as easily walk from the WWF like he did in 1996. Or annoy McMahon so much that he would let him go once Hogan was safely on board.
Come Wrestlemania 9, Shawn will be victorious against the Bulldog and become the Intercontential for the first time, (helping cement his 'Mr Wrestlemania' moniker). The Bulldog's impressive 6 month reign comes to an end. Where does his path continue?
The next PPV is the brand new King of the Ring tournament. Now that Bulldog is still with the WWF in this alterative reality, he will take the spot that Mr Perfect would have taken. (Since the Warrior in this reality wouldn't have left prior to Survior Series, there would be no need for Mr Perfect to come back to the ring as a face. – Possibly Perfect could act as Razor's manager…?)
This would mean that the semi-final match of the tournament would be Bret Hart vs The British Bulldog – a rematch from Summerslam 92. Of course Bret will win bringing the score between them 1 all. No doubt this will tease us for a third match further down the line...
Now we're leading into the summer of 93 with the evil forgeiner champion Yokozuna. Although Davy has the muscular build of Hogan and wore red, white and blue, the lack of an american accent would mean that Lex Lurger would still have been the guy to replace Hulkamania.
So what does Davey do during the summer? Well, Bret and the Hart family were fueding with Jerry Lawler so it would seem right that he would be involved in that as well. Prehpas initially with the Harts, but it may seem a bit too loaded on the side of the Hart family. A heel turn were he allies himself with Jerry Lawler. He could use the reason of jealous of Bret for turning (he beat Bret for the IC title at summerslam but Bret got the WWF title a few months later, bret gets to headline wrestlemania, become king of the ring etc).
When Surivor Series 93 rolls round, the Bulldog could either be part of Jerry Lawler's (well, shawn michaels in the end) team against the Hart family or he could be part of the 'Forgein Fanatics' team in the main event against Lex Lurgers all american team.
With the Bulldog heel turn, it may put a hold on Owen's heel turn. It may be the Bulldog who defeats Bret in the opening match of Wrestlemania X and then, after watching Bret claim the WWF that night (another reason to resent his brother-in-law), continues the fued until Summerslam 94 where they have a cage match in the main event for the WWF title.
OF course, before we get to Summerslam, we have the 1994 King of the Ring which was orginally won by Owen and had the return of Jim Neidhart who turned heel and alliened himslef with Owen. Prehaps if the Bulldog was around, it would have been him who would have become King of the Ring? And maybe we would have seen a series of tag matches on the house show circuit with good guy brothers Bret and Owen against their nasty brother in laws, Neidhard and Smith...?
I'm going to cut it here because we're getting near the point where Davy Boy returned to the WWF from his spell in WCW.
In conclusion
Hard to put a conclusion to this one.The Warrior seems to be the sort of guy who doesn't seem to stick around to long in a place if things aren't going totally the way he wants. So maybe its safe to assume he wouldn't be there much past Survivor Series 92.
As for the Bulldog, he's one of those guys who gets mentioned when talk turns to 'guys who never held the top title but possibly could of...'. (Ted Diabise, Roddy Piper and Jake Roberts could probably be added to that list) He held the Euro, Tag, IC and hardcore and speaking from someone from the UK, it seems a shame that he never quite got to complete the set. I guess when he was at his prime, it was during a time when heavyweight title reigns weren't hot potatoed as much.
Thanks for reading.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Florida Gov. Rick Scott says Florida students who get help from the state to attend private schools should take the same standardized tests as public school students.
Scott on Tuesday said that if schools receive tax dollars than they should be held to the same standards that apply to public schools.
There are tens of thousands of students who receive vouchers in Florida through a program set up by the state that helps low-income families.
Scott has been a supporter of giving parents options for schools and at one point even advocated giving out vouchers to anyone regardless of income.
But Scott's stance on requiring private schools to follow the same standards as public schools has been echoed primarily by Democrats. Republican legislators have rejected the idea in the past.

Rogers claimed off waivers by Yankees
HOUSTON -- Esmil Rogers' tenure in a Toronto uniform is over after the Yankees claimed the right-handed reliever off waivers on Thursday afternoon.
Rogers was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Sunday. He was promoted from Triple-A Buffalo last week but didn't make an appearance during his second go-around in the big leagues this season.
The 28-year-old was acquired from the Indians prior to the 2013 season in exchange for infielder Mike Aviles and catcher Yan Gomes. He was expected to pitch in middle relief but struggled early during his tenure and never really lived up to expectations.
Rogers ended up making 20 starts for the Blue Jays but posted a 4.77 ERA. This season he had a 6.97 ERA, allowing five homers and seven walks over 20 2/3 innings out of the bullpen.
He had also been designated for assignment in May but cleared waivers and was outrighted to Buffalo. Toronto had a similar intention this time, but New York decided to take a chance on him instead.

text: This news item expired on 12/31/2012, so the information below could be outdated or incorrect. Preparing for Thunderstorms & Lightning All thunderstorms are dangerous. Every storm produces lightning and because it is unpredictable it increases the risk to individuals and property. While lightning fatalities have decreased over the past 30 years, lightning continues to be one of the top three storm-related killers in the United States. In 2010 there were 29 fatalities and 182 injuries from lightning. Although most lightning victims survive, people struck by lightning often report a variety of long-term, debilitating symptoms. Other associated dangers of thunderstorms include tornadoes, strong winds, hail and flash flooding. Flash flooding is responsible for more fatalities – more than 140 annually – than any other thunderstorm-associated hazard. WNC doesn't often see dry thunderstorms that don't produce rain on the ground. These falling raindrops evaporate, but lightning can still reach the ground and can start wildfires. Preparing for an emergency before it happens makes sense. Follow these steps to get safely through thunderstorms and lightening... Before a Thunderstorm and Lightning Build an emergency kit and make a family communications plan. Remove dead or rotting trees and branches that could fall and cause injury or damage during a severe thunderstorm. Postpone outdoor activities. Remember the 30/30 Lightning Safety Rule: Go indoors if, after seeing lightning, you cannot count to 30 before hearing thunder. Stay indoors for 30 minutes after hearing the last clap of thunder. Secure outdoor objects that could blow away or cause damage. Get inside a home, building, or hard top automobile (not a convertible). Although you may be injured if lightning strikes your car, you are much safer inside a vehicle than outside. Remember, rubber-soled shoes and rubber tires provide NO protection from lightning. However, the steel frame of a hard-topped vehicle provides increased protection if you are not touching metal. Shutter windows and secure outside doors. If shutters are not available, close window blinds, shades or curtains. Unplug any electronic equipment well before the storm arrives. During Thunderstorms and Lightning If a thunderstorm and lightning are already occurring in your area, you should: Use your battery-operated NOAA Weather Radio for updates from local officials. Avoid contact with corded phones and devices including those plugged into electric for recharging. Cordless and wireless phones not connected to wall outlets are OK to use. Avoid contact with electrical equipment or cords. Unplug appliances and other electrical items such as computers and turn off air conditioners. Power surges from lightning can cause serious damage. Avoid contact with plumbing. Do not wash your hands, do not take a shower, do not wash dishes, and do not do laundry. Plumbing and bathroom fixtures can conduct electricity. Stay away from windows and doors, and stay off porches. Do not lie on concrete floors and do not lean against concrete walls. Stay away from natural lightning rods such as a tall, isolated tree in an open area. Avoid hilltops, open fields, the beach or a boat on the water. Take shelter in a sturdy building. Avoid isolated sheds or other small structures in open areas. Avoid contact with anything metal – tractors, farm equipment, motorcycles, golf carts, golf clubs, and bicycles. If you are driving, try to safely exit the roadway and park. Stay in the vehicle and turn on the emergency flashers until the heavy rain ends. Avoid touching metal or other surfaces that conduct electricity in and outside the vehicle. After a Thunderstorm or Lightning Strike If lightning strikes you or someone you know, call 9-1-1 for medical assistance as soon as possible. Lightning strike victims carry no electrical charge and should be attended to immediately. Check the following things when you attempt to give aid to a victim of lightning: Breathing - if breathing has stopped, begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Heartbeat - if the heart has stopped, administer CPR. Pulse - if the victim has a pulse and is breathing, look for other possible injuries. Check for burns where the lightning entered and left the body. Also be alert for nervous system damage, broken bones and loss of hearing and eyesight. After the storm passes remember to: Never drive through a flooded roadway. Turn around, don't drown! Stay away from storm-damaged areas to keep from putting yourself at risk from the effects of severe thunderstorms. Continue to listen to a NOAA Weather Radio or to local radio and television stations for updated information or instructions, as access to roads or some parts of the community may be blocked. Help people who may require special assistance, such as infants, children, the elderly or anyone else who needs it. Stay away from downed power lines and report them immediately. Watch your animals closely. Keep them under your direct control. For more information, go to buncombecounty.org or www.ready.gov/thunderstorms-lightning.

Thiazolidinediones are also available in combination with other medicines. Pioglitazone is combined with the biguanide medicine metformin (Actoplus Met) and the sulfonylurea medicine glimepiride (Duetact).
Rosiglitazone is combined with metformin (Avandamet) and the sulfonylurea medicine glimepiride (Avandaryl).
These medicines lower
insulin resistance in muscle and fat. They also reduce glucose produced by the liver.
Thiazolidinediones are usually
used when other medicines have failed to lower blood sugar levels into a
target range.
These medicines sometimes lower triglycerides and raise HDL cholesterol.
Type 2 diabetes is a disease that can get worse over time, so medicines may need to change.
Diabetes medicines work best for people who are being active and eating healthy foods.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor immediately if you have:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
See Drug
Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in

Women who have stopped
menstruating before they start taking these medicines may begin menstruating
again and may become pregnant. Also, women who take oral contraceptives to prevent pregnancy may become pregnant.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

I guess it's a sign of the times that this piece was mistaken for Czech spatter glass. It's used to be the other way around - Czech glass was (and is) mistaken for French, English, everything under the sun. At first glance, one could see how it might be mistaken for Czech so-called "end of day" glass, but the devil is in the details, and in this case, the devil is Legras. The big differences are readily apparent once the piece is handled - it is thick cased satinized clear over a mottled yellow, red, and green (mostly yellow). Fire polished rim and perfect ground and polished pontil. The decoration of stylized vines is somewhat crudely done, as are many of the pieces with this particular Legras signature - abbreviated as "Leg" and completely overlooked by this seller (see photo No. 3). There used to be contention among collectors that this Leg. signature was not genuine, because the refined glass is lesser quality than the more spectacular Nouveau era pieces, but it has been found on known Legras forms in other decors, and it has now been found on advertised pieces, thanks to reprints found in the latest book on Legras, Francoise Theodore Legras, Verrerie Artistique et Populaire Francaise, by Marie-Francoise & Jean-Francoise Michel and Dominique & Jean Vitrat, newly published. In this book is a reprint of an advertising plaquard for Legras Series 89.000 - this very piece is shown as catalogue number 89.001. (see photo No. 4). It is a large piece - 13.25" tall, and it weighs 2 lbs, 4.4 oz (roughly a full kilo). Though the decoration is more spartan, the quality of the blank is still very good, and this is a piece that is better in the hand than it is to the camera.

Yesterday Shannon suggested take-out food from Brattleboro's newest restaurant, The Humble Kitchen. It's a food cart in the Harmony parking lot that serves Vietnamese street food, sourced locally where ever possible.
Wow, is it delicious and worth the trip, even if you're travelling from NH, MA or anywhere in Southern Vermont.
Fried mango wontons with a sugar lime sauce might sound a little exotic but you have to try them. I can't even begin to describe how wonderful they are.
In addition they have specialty dishes for meat lovers, vegetarians and vegans, like the Banh Mi sandwich, Hot Noodle Soup, Summer Noodle Bowl and a salad with local greens & ginger-lime or toasted sesame vinaigrette.
Today was opening day for The Humble Kitchen and by all accounts they had a nice turnout of support from the community. If you live in the Southern Vermont area, be sure to take advantage of this great opportunity to enjoy authentic fresh, Vietnamese cuisine. I guarantee you'll be glad you did.

AMD Launches FX CPUs with Bulldozer Architecture
Jansen Ng
October 12, 2011 12:01 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
AMD FX series chart (click to enlarge)
Eight-core Zambezi flagship to challenge Intel's Core i7
AMD has launched its much anticipated FX series of desktop CPUs using the
architecture. Codenamed
, the 32nm chips represent the company's top offerings for enthusiasts.
is the first complete redesign of AMD's processor architecture since the K7
was launched in 1999, and features significant improvements in manufacturing, design, and cost reduction.
The drive for efficiency and greater instructions per clock (IPC) was the original impetus for
. Long gone are the days of simply increasing clock speed for easy performance gains. AMD and Intel have been increasing the number of CPU cores, but that takes up a lot of die space. Intel has been pushing HyperThreading as its way of maximizing efficiency, and is pretty good when a CPU stalls due to a cache miss, branch misprediction, or data dependency. However, AMD has decided to go a markedly different route.
module provides an independent, dedicated integer and scheduler unit for each core. A single floating point unit is shared between the two cores in a
module, along with the fetch and decode units and a 2MB L2 cache. There is a 16KB L1 data cache per core, as well as a 64KB L1 instruction cache per module. This adds up to an impressive 128KB L1 data cache, 256KB L1 instruction cache, and 8MB L2 cache for an eight-core FX processor.
Theoretically, this should provide much better performance than HyperThreading, which functions best when there are a lot of CPU stalls because all threads must compete for available execution resources. HyperThreading increases performance by approximately 30% at a cost of 5% extra die space, but the second integer core in Bulldozer could almost double integer performance at a die cost of only 12%.
The Bulldozer architecture was originally supposed to debut in the first half of 2009, and would've enabled AMD to compete toe-to-toe with Intel on pure performance, rather than on pricing alone. However, various financial difficulties and a major recession led to delays, while the divestment of its
manufacturing capacity into GlobalFoundries
led to some technical delays. Almost three years late, the design has been updated significantly in order to accommodate the latest technologies and manufacturing processes.
FX chips are built by GlobalFoundries on its 32nm Silicon on insulator (SOI) process. The eight core
chips have around two billion transistors and a die size of approximately 315mm
. An integrated northbridge unit supplies an 8MB L3 cache, four 16-bit HyperTransport 3.0 links, and the integrated memory controller. Depending on the model, it runs at either 2.2Ghz or 2.0GHz. The most significant update to the integrated dual-channel memory controller is native support for DDR3 memory at 1866MHz (DDR3-1866/PC3-14900). ECC memory is still supported; a welcome relief to those who are planning on FX-based workstations, as Intel only supports ECC memory on its much more expensive Xeon workstations.
There are instruction sets aplenty: SSE3, SSE4.1/4.2, AES, and AVX. AMD is also introducing support for FMA4 and XOP. FMA4 can be thought of as specific instructions designed to speed up Fused Multiply–Add (FMA) operations.

The four new FX chips being launched today will require motherboards with socket AM3+, but the good news is that enthusiasts will be able to upgrade to a top of the line FX-8150 for $245. The FX-8120 will be available for $205, while the six-core FX-6100 will be priced at $165. The four-core FX-4100 with a 95W TDP is available for only $115.

September 11, 2013 — Coral Gables — Celebrating its 30th Anniversary Season this October, the University of Miami Frost School of Music's acclaimed Festival Miami -- South Florida's premier live music festival -- presents five diverse programs as part of its Creative American Music series during Festival Miami in October 2013. The concerts will take place at UM's Maurice Gusman Concert Hall, 1314 Miller Drive on the Coral Gables campus. Festival Miami annually presents unique programming by a diverse blend of award-winning performers in a variety of genres who showcase their artistic prowess alongside astounding students and faculty artists from the Frost School of Music. More than 25 concerts and events are organized into four themes: Great Performances, Jazz and Beyond, Music of the Americas, and Creative American Music.
The Creative American Music series kicks off on October 9 with Festival Miami's annual free Songwriters Showcase -- one of the most anticipated popular events at Festival Miami each year -- featuring songs composed and performed by Frost School of Music students enrolled in the Bruce Hornsby Creative American Music program. The following night, will feature multi-Platinum singer-songwriter Joan Osborne who will enthrall audiences with her sultry, muscular voice as she performs an unforgettable acoustic duo concert on October 10, with pianist Kevin Cotton, featuring her Grammy-nominated breakthrough hit single "One of Us," which sold over 3 million copies on first release, and was featured in the TV show Glee. Osborne will also perform newer originals and covers from her 2012 Grammy-nominated album, Bring It On Home, a raw, woolly collection of vintage blues, R&B and soul songs that make up the seventh album from this spirited artist.
Then, on October 13, Festival Miami presents Fiddles on Fire, featuring the return of multi-Grammy Award-winning crossover violinist Mark O'Connor, a Festival Miami favorite who brilliantly melds folk, country and classical traditions into distinctive forms. He will be joined by Glenn Basham for an extraordinary display of violin virtuosity of epic dimension with fingers flying, toes tapping, and a blaze of excitement as they create an improvisatory mash-up of roaring bluegrass, jazz and country fiddle. Student fiddlers and national champion finalists from the Frost School of Music also showcase their prodigious talents.
Multi-nominated Blues Music Award artist Ana Popovic, whose fiery, passionate playing and singing have earned her the moniker "the female Jimi Hendrix," will perform a crowd-pleasing show on October 19. Considered one of the best blues players on the scene today, the Memphis-based Serbian guitarist/singer-songwriter is an international touring artist who has shared the stage with such American blues icons as B. B. King, Buddy Guy, and Robert Cray. Her most recent release, Can You Stand the Heat, was featured in USA Today as a "Pick of the Week." In addition, the chart-topping blues sensation was a featured special guest artist on NPR Music and has appeared on the cover of Vintage Guitar magazine and American Blues Scene, among others.
Festival Miami collaborates with Sunday Afternoons of Music for Children to present a Halloween concert on Sunday, October 27 with The Okee Dokee Brothers, 2013 Grammy Award winners in the "Best Children's Album" category and two-time Parent's Choice Award recipients. They have garnered praise from the likes of NPR's All Things Considered and USA Today. All children are invited to dress in Halloween costumes and enjoy an after-concert A-B-C party: Apple juice, Balloons and Cookies.

Good or Skilful? Kusala in Canon and Commentary
By L. S. Cousins
See also the article:
Kusala and Akusala as Criteria of Buddhist Ethics
Bhikkhu Thich Nhat-Tu
http://www.buddhismtoday.com/english/et ... kusala.htm
I think that 'kusala' is an ancient Indoeuropean word, which probably has following correspondences in modern languages:
iskusstvo (art), iskusnyj (skilful) - Russian;
kunst (handiness, skill) - Spanish;
kunst (art) - Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Flemish, German, Norwegian, Yiddish.
The early usage of this word is indeed connected with practical skills, however in the later texts the meaning shifts to 'wholesome', as in the Nettippakara.na, where tanha can be either kusala or akusala:
Tattha tanhaa duvidhaa kusalaapi akusalaapi.
There are two kinds of ta.nhaa: skilful [kusala] and unskilful [akusala]. Unskilful ta.nhaa leads to sa.msaara, skilful ta.nhaa is for abandoning, which leads to diminishing [of sa.msaaric activities].

Even though Robert Griffin III has been cleared to participate in training camp when the Washington Redskins report on Thursday, it is unlikely he will play in any of the preseason games, according to an ESPN report Tuesday morning.
Citing sources close to head coach Mike Shanahan and in the Redskins' front office, ESPN said the team is pessimistic Griffin will return in the preseason and does not want to subject him to any hits this summer. The sources based that on Shanahan's history of being cautious with players coming off major injuries when he was head coach in Denver.

Griffin, who underwent reconstructive surgery on his right knee in January, is not expected to participate in contact drills at camp and is likely to only work in seven-on-seven drills when practices begin. He is scheduled to speak publicly on Wednesday, when the players report to camp in Richmond, Va.
The Redskins' first preseason game is Thursday, August 8 at Tennessee. The regular-season opener is Monday night, September 9, at home against the Eagles.
On Monday morning, the Redskins' quarterback tweeted that doctors "cleared me to practice," adding that "Coach is going to ease me in." Griffin did not specify which doctors had cleared him.
On Sunday, The Washington Post had reported that Griffin was scheduled to have his knee "extensively" examined on Wednesday by Dr. James Andrews, who did the reconstruction of Griffin's right knee in January and is a team's medical consultant. Andrews would determine how ready Griffin is to play and relay the information to the team, the Post reported.
If he was not deemed ready to play, the Redskins had the option of placing Griffin on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list at the start of camp.
It was uncertain whether the exam by Andrews for Wednesday would still take place. He was unavailable to comment for the Post story. The Redskins did not immediately comment on Griffin's tweet.
Citing a person familiar with Griffin's health, the Post also reported that the quarterback's knee "feels great" and he was still able to run and cut without pain or limitation.

Lipids Profile in Primary Hyperparathyroidism (LPHP)

|Primary Hyperparathyroidism
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Case-Only

|Study Start Date:

|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|October 2016
|Primary Completion Date:
|October 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Severe traditional PHP has been associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality with an increase in acute MI prior to surgery.PHP is associated with increased prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy, independent of blood pressure. Also prevalent in PHP, are valvular and myocardial calcifications as well as diastolic filling impairment, with a significant correlation with serum calcium and PTH levels.
Hypertension, dyslipidemia and impaired glucose metabolism were demonstrated in severe PHP, with improvement after surgery in these variables.Glucose tolerance test performed in patients with PHP revealed that 51% had impaired glucose tolerance, 34% had diabetes mellitus and 17% had impaired fasting glucose values. After successful parathyroidectomy fasting and 2-h plasma glucose falls significantly. Others have demonstrated hyperinsulinemia and impaired glucose tolerance without normalization after parathyroidectomy.
Most of the literature showing an increased cardiovascular risk is in those patients with more severe PHP .Patients with mild PHP had higher serum cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, urate and hemoglobin values compared with controls.Also, moderate to severe vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for developing cardiovascular disease especially in patients with hypertension.
Atherosclerosis is a diffuse disease formerly considered a lipid storage disease, which actually involves an ongoing inflammatory response. Elevated circulating levels of acute phase proteins, cytokines, and cell adhesion molecules indicate that inflammatory processes are occurring systemically . C-reactive protein [CRP] and the presence of metabolic syndrome were interrelated and were highly predictive for cardiovascular disease. Hyperinsulinemia was proposed as the common factor of all the traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and insulin resistance is recognized as a chronic low-level inflammatory state.Although various inflammatory markers were individually significantly related to future cardiovascular disease risk, they added very little additional prognostic information to the traditional markers.
Recently, we have shown that greater probability of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance were observed in patients with severe PHP. Serum calcium is a predictor of these cardiovascular risk factors.
Recent evidence suggests that the 'quality' rather than only the 'quantity' of LDL exerts a direct influence on the cardiovascular risk. LDL comprises multiple distinct subclasses that differ in size, density, physicochemical composition, metabolic behaviour and atherogenicity. There are at least four major subspecies of LDL (e.g. large LDL-I, medium LDL-II, small LDL-III, very small LDL-IV) and the predominance of small dense LDL has been accepted as an emerging cardiovascular risk factor .
Thus, the proposed study protocol is intended to evaluate lipoprotein phenotype and LDL size and subclasses in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism.

Dell carves profit from slim revenue growth
HP it's not
Dell didn't dive as much as HP. Dell had lower sales than expected during the its first quarter of fiscal 2011, but it boasted a big profit boost, raising its expectations for revenues and earnings for the full year. HP, by contrast, is tightening its belt, while shaving $1bn to $1.5bn off of its revenue projections for the year.
Both companies have done what mature companies do, which is balance revenue growth against the profits that you can get out of a hyper-competitive IT environment. IT vendors have learned to walk away from deals in recent years. "We continue to believe that earnings share is more important than market share," explained Brian Gladden, Dell's CFO, on a conference call with Wall Street analysts. And the Dell numbers show that.
In the first quarter, Dell's hardware product revenues were down a fraction of a per cent, to just over $12bn, while services and software revenues were up 6.1 per cent, to just under $3bn. Overall revenues were only up a point, to just over $15bn. Gross margins rose by 36 per cent, to $3.43bn, thanks to substantially lower manufacturing and sales costs for its products. Net income was up a very impressive 177 per cent, to $945m, which worked out to 50 cents per share, nearly triple the EPS from the year-ago quarter.
A day after HP admitted to problems in its most recent quarter, Gladden said much the same of Dell. "As we moved through the quarter, consumer demand was weaker than expected," he said. But SMB spending levels were the highest that Dell has seen in two years, and the company is expected a sales bump in its public sector unit as state and local governments move into their new budget cycles in the second half this calendar year.
In fact, Paul Bell, president of Dell's Public and Large Enterprise business unit, said that while budget cuts among governments had curtailed the PC refresh cycle, the same budget cuts had boosted spending on server and storage consolidation projects where IT departments are being charged to cut costs.
Gladden said that Dell's PC business was "radically improved" compared to three years ago, when Dell began to sell its products through retail channels and it started shifting to contract manufacturing. Dell's desktop PCs accounted for $3.3bn in sales, down 8 per cent, but mobile PCs hit $4.72bn in the first quarter, up 3 percent.
Dell's server and networking business had an 11 per cent sales jump, to $1.97bn, and Gladden said that blade server revenues rose 23 per cent and networking gear sales were up 32 per cent. Dell's storage revenues fell 13 per cent, to $481m, but that is because it is not really peddling EMC arrays any more (revenues were off 43 per cent) while ramping up its own PowerVault, EqualLogic, Compellent, and DX Object Storage arrays. These Dell-branded products had an 11 per cent increase in revenue in the quarter, but do not quite make up for the lost EMC disk array sales.
Dell's services unit, anchored by the former Perot Systems, grew by 5 per cent to just under $2bn. Outsourcing accounted for $703m during the quarter (up 3 percent), while services projects helping customers wrestle with their infrastructure and applications were $187bn (up 13 per cent). The transactional services revenue – meaning support contracts for Dell and third party products – represented $1.1bn (up 5 per cent). Dell exited the quarter with a $14.1bn services backlog, pretty evenly split between support and outsourcing deals.
Software and peripherals posted a 3 per cent bump, to $2.57bn.
By customer category, Dell's public sector customers spent $43.77bn (down 2 per cent), while large enterprises spent $4.48bn (up 5 per cent). The small and medium business segment grew by 7 per cent, to $3.77bn, while Dell's consumer business shrank by 7 per cent to just a tad over $3bn.
Looking ahead to its second quarter, Gladden said that Dell expected sequential revenue growth "in the mid-single digits", which he said was slightly above the normal seasonality from Q1 that comes in at a 2 to 3 per cent bump. For the full fiscal 2012 year, Dell raised its revenue guidance to between 5 and 9 per cent growth and raised its non-GAAP operating income to between 12 and 18 per cent. ®

Blue Ivy Carter Pictures With Beyonce Knowles in NYC
Beyoncé Knowles and Daughter Blue Ivy Seize Their City Day
Beyoncé Knowles and Daughter Blue Ivy Seize Their City Day
Beyoncé Knowles held her daughter Blue Ivy Carter yesterday as they left their Manhattan home. Little Blue Ivy, who's just two months old, was bundled up in a fuzzy blanket as Beyoncé and her pals piled into an SUV. Beyoncé and Blue went to Prospect Park, in Brooklyn, where they apparently spent a day out on a blanket with grandma Tina Knowles. The Knowles-Carter clan have been hanging out in the Big Apple since Blue's January arrival. Her dad Jay-Z, though, will soon take off for Texas to make an appearance at SXSW. He'll perform at a March 12 American Express-sponsored show that's scheduled to be streamed live on the Internet. Blue Ivy has already had a few fun adventures of her own, including multiple lunch dates with her mom and dad.

I would pitch Latos tomorrow. He only worked four innings last time and didn't follow his usual starting routine.
Give me Bailey tonight, Latos tomorrow, Arroyo on Thursday, and I'm pretty confident.
I can't be confident with Leake, he hasn't pitched well at GABP.
If Latos can't go too long tomorrow the team has a deep bullpen to finish for him.
