Vietnamese History: Historical accounts
According to old historical records Đại Việt sử ký toàn thư and Khâm Định Việt Sử Thông Giám Cương Mục, Thục Phán was a prince of the Chinese state of Shu, sent by his father first to explore the southern Chinese provinces of Guangxi and Yunnan and second to move their people to modern day northern Vietnam during the invasion of the Qin Dynasty.
However, modern Vietnamese scholars claim that "Thục Phán" was a native Austro-Asiatic name which meant "God of crossbow", and that he was an ancient Vietnamese.[citation needed]
Regardless, Vietnamese people consider Au Lac to have been an independent Vietnamese state without the reservations that surround the more disputed issue of Trieu Da and his kingdom of Nam Viet.
Thục Phán apparently came upon the Âu Việt (甌越) territory (modern-day northernmost Vietnam, western Guangdong, and southern Guangxi province, with its capital in what is today the Cao Bang Province).[1] After assembling an army, he defeated King Hùng Vương (雄王) XVIII, the last ruler of the Hồng Bàng Dynasty, around 257 BCE. He proclaimed himself An Dương Vương (安陽王), "King An Dương". He then renamed his newly acquired state from Văn Lang to Âu Lạc (甌雒/甌駱) and established the new capital at Phong Khê in the present-day Phú Thọ Province in North Vietnam. Cổ Loa Thành (Co Loa Citadel), the spiral-shaped fortress/barricade which he also built, lies approximately ten miles north of that new capital.No longer available

Licenses and Permits
Chances are good that your business is going to be need one or more permits and licenses to operate legally. In some areas, all businesses need a basic business or occupational license, while some need (like a restaurant) may need several.
And remember that you have several governmental bodies that may require a permit or license, including city, county, state, and national.
If the business operates out of a building — whether commercial or residential — you'll also want to make certain it is zoned for the use you seek. (And for commercial buildings, make certain it is up to code.)

apadravya piercing
Irritated Apadravya Piercing
July 25th, 2011
I received this message today:
Hello Elayne, I was recently cleaning my apadravya and noticed that I have what looks like a tear or some sort of injury on the head of my penis. My piercing is fairly new, I believe it is 4 months old. I don't know if this is simply because it's still fresh or if I have something more serious to deal with. I have been sexually active but I haven't done anything rough or overexerting. I have worn protection and I haven't had any pain during sex. I have included a picture of the wound. It doesn't hurt, but it is (VERY SLIGHTLY) more tender to the touch than the rest of my penis. If you could respond to this ASAP then I would greatly appreciate it. This has been worrying me a lot. Thank you very much.
Ampallang (Iron Cross) Piercing
April 30th, 2011
Below is my exchange with a piercee who received an iron cross (apadravya + ampallang) piercing:
I recently got an ampallang piercing to complete a magic cross. I think the placement is good and that the piecer did a good job. But I would like that to be evaluated.
Also, I have an ileostomy. Though the bag is very clean, it can bump up against the side of the piercing. I have been salt soaking 4 times a day (every time I empty my bag) and washing with antibacterial gel soap twice a day. The piercing, now about a week old, has stopped bleeding. I kept this routine up for about a month on my apadravya which had the same problem and healed perfectly. I cleared this routine with a doctor before each piercing. My question is does an ampallang have a longer, shorter or the same healing time as an apadravya. My apadravya bled for a week. But the ampallang only bled for a few hour.
I can send pictures if that would help you evaluate things. Thanks, M.
My reply:
Dear M.,
If the ampallang passes through your urethra, then it would be expected to take about the same amount of time to heal as the apadravya. If your ampallang does not pass through your urethra, then it could be expected to take longer to heal than the apadravya. They are both subject to bleeding when new, but the apadravya is apt to bleed more than the ampallang, so all of that sounds normal.
You just need to watch for trauma from the jewelry hitting the bag, as impact can delay healing and cause problems like excess scar tissue formation.
I hope you heal well and enjoy!

I awoke to darkness. After several moments of paralyzing silence, I realized it was my eyelids. The moment I tried to open them, I felt hands holding up my head, and something was poured down my throat.
Water? I was so thirsty I eagerly opened my mouth, but what flowed in was sickly sweet and I was so tired
Daddy? I entered the dark bedroom. The television was on, but all that was playing was static. In the black and white glow, I saw my fathers face illuminated, eyes wide open. Daddy, I had a nightmare.
I walked towards him timidly, poking his arm. He was so cold. I lifted the blankets up to cover him, so he could get warm again. Daddy?
Then I saw the pills scattered on the floor, and the slip of paper. I bent down to read it. A lot of the words I couldnt understand. I didnt know what they meant. But there were a few I could read. Failure. Sorry. Scared.
My daddy wasnt scared of anything. Hed killed the spiders in the bathroom, pulled me out of the way of cars, put me on his shoulders so the neighbors big dog couldnt nip at my heels. My daddy was my hero.
Then all of a sudden a bunch of men in uniforms burst in, flooding the room with light and sound. I saw my mummy, wrapped in a nightdress, crying. I started to make my way towards her, to comfort her, like she did to me when I was sad, but then a man grabbed me and started to take me away.
I saw some other men place my dad onto a stretcher, and then cover him with a sheet. My mummy cried harder.
NO! DAD! DADDY! I shrieked, suddenly realizing what was happening. They were taking him away from me.
It was dark again. And silent. There was pressure on my arm. I tried to open my eyes again, but found that I couldnt. They were so heavy.
Whos there I managed, my lips cracking from dryness and my body shutting down at the effort. I felt the weight on my arm shift as sleep started to kick in again.
Im sorry, someone whispered. For what? I wanted to ask. But I was tired again. I wanted to rest.
Hello Clara, my name is Doctor Howard. Do you know why youre here?
I stared distrustfully at her white coat. People in white coats had taken my father from me. Do you know where my daddy is?
She wrote something on her clipboard. I looked out into the hallway through the window. My mother was talking to another person in a white coat, a man.
I didnt answer any of the doctors questions. I watched my mother. What are they saying to her? I asked. She was crying. Make them stop!
When the doctor tried to restrain me, I started screaming. MUM! MUMMY HELP ME! MUMMY, STOP CRYING!
This time when I awoke, I felt a tremendous weight on my chest, crushing my lungs. I tried to grab at my stomach, gasping for breath, and then I was being forced down, and liquid was pouring into my mouth through a tube. I struggled for another moment, and then, like magic, I fell back asleep.
I stared out the window as the houses and mailboxes and trees flew past. I was getting a new home today. A place with a mummy and a daddy. I was told I was lucky. That most children in orphanages past the age of seven stayed there. But I didnt feel so lucky.
Mummy, where are you going? I had asked desperately as she packed a bag.
She had stopped for a second, but her hands were shaking. Mummy has to go with those nice people that we talked to yesterday. Shell stay with them for a little while, and then shell be back, and well be together again!
I climbed onto the bed and sat in her suitcase, trying to prevent her from leaving. But I dont want you to leave! I dont want you to go away!
She cried harder. I thought telling her that I wanted her to stay would make her happy. I still thought she was a good mum. But she was so sad.
Bye my sweet, she whispered, planting a kiss on top of my head. I remember her tears sliding down my forehead to my eyes, so that it looked like I was the one crying. But it wasnt. I never cried. I was Daddys Little Fighter.
The next time I woke up, my eyes fluttered open and I winced at the light. My eyes watered at the shock of the lamps overhead, and I tried to lift my arms to shield my face, only to find that they were constrained to the bed.
Help, I rasped, feeling overwhelmed and scared. Help!
Madame Bones came into view, her blonde hair tucked up inside her hat and her smile pasted on. Oh good, youre awake! I was worried Id have to give you another sleeping potion while I set your legs, but you healed up quite nicely.
I frowned and moved my arms, showing that I couldnt lift them off the bed.
Oh dont worry about that, dear. Its just so that you didnt move them in your sleep while I re-grew the bones in your arms. Her smile looked less cheerful, and there was a wrinkle in her brow.
I turned my head to the left to get away from the blinding light, and saw a chair pulled over to the side of my hospital bed.
Noticing my stare, Madame Bones moved it back against the wall with her wand. He was visiting you quite a lot, you know, she confided, giving me a secretive smile.
I opened my mouth to ask who, but then McGonagall bustled in through the doors. She had taken over for Flitwick after he had died in my fourth year, and no one had challenged her position as Head Mistress.
Miss Sullivan, she began grimly, Im glad to see youre awake.
I blinked. Whats going on? Thats what I tried to say, but it came out as a whisper because my throat was so dry. Madame Bones hurriedly gave me water, holding it to my lips so I could drink. After I had greedily sipped the entire glass, I asked again.
Im afraid that I have to ask you some questions, McGonagall said, leaning on her cane.
Frowning, I tried to remember what had put me in the Hospital Wing, and how Id gotten here. But all I remembered was the draft from the dark room. Then I felt the weight on my ribs, crushing me, cutting off my air supply.
I began thrashing around wildly, gasping for air, fighting the constraints.
Phantom pain! Madame Bones shouted over the racket I was making, placing her arms on my chest to stop me from moving. She did this the first two nights she was in here. Had to restrain her so the bones in her arms and legs could heal properly.
I settled back, sweaty and frustrated that they werent helping me. Then I blinked, and the pressure was gone. Nights? I asked, panting slightly.
You were brought into the Hospital Wing late on Thursday night. It is now Sunday morning. Madame Bones scribbled something on her clipboard and then wheeled over a cart full of potions.
McGonagall redirected my attention. Miss Sullivan, do you remember who attacked you?
Attack I gazed off into the distance, and then I remembered the boot. So heavy. So painful. I remembered the crunches, the stickiness of the blood, the bitter taste of bile from retching. Then I knew what I had to do. Sorry Professor. I dont remember anything.
She sighed. I figured as much. Your injuries were quite extensive.
The nasal bone was broken and the sternum was crushed, nearly puncturing a lung. Three ribs were broken and the others were badly bruised. Broken femur, patella, and tibia, as well as a broken ulna in the right arm, and crushed metacarpals on the left hand. This was not to mention the head trauma and the cut on your hip. It was so deep that I had to give you a transfusion, Madame Bones recited, her frown deepening as she read over the list.
This obviously is a very serious matter. Whoever attacked you meant to kill you. If it werent for Mr. Potter finding you when he did and rushing you here, you may not have survived. Id never seen McGonagalls face look so grim.
The only thing I understood from the last five minutes was the word Potter. James? I whispered, fearing that I would be wrong.
Yes. He found you lying in a classroom on the fourth floor and rushed you straight here. He did not get to see the perpetrator, but rest assured Miss Sullivan that I will not stop until we have found your attacker. McGonagall walked towards the door, somehow maintaining dignity while leaning on her cane, but paused and looked back. Miss Sullivan, one more thing. You have been excused from Fridays classwork.
A small smile lit up my face, and I saw the ghost of one on the Head Mistress face as well, before the door swung shut behind her.
My mind prickled over one word. Madame Bones, who donated the blood for my transfusion?
Oh! I figured you would know already, what with him being your boyfriend and everything, she said, winking conspiratorially.
My hands began to shake, my heart started to race, and a sheen of sweat broke out on my face. Ivan? I whispered.
Yes, dear. He was very eager to help as well. Now, Madame Bones began with a determined expression. Youve got six potions to take. Do you want to go from best tasting to worst, or vice versa?
I surveyed the cart, trying to focus. I had Ivan Turners blood in my veins. I wanted to retch, but merely swallowed and concentrated on the medicine cart.
It held potions that were thick, black, and chunky, and potions that were clear and harmless looking. Lets get the worst over with, I sighed. This was not going to be pleasant.
Madame Bones insisted on keeping me in the Hospital Wing for another night, to give my head wound and broken bones time to heal completely.
Even though Id been sleeping for three days straight, I felt utterly exhausted and my head was pounding, so I didnt argue.
I was so confused, but it physically hurt to think too much. I assumed it was Ivan who attacked me, but why had he given me blood? Id been left for dead they could have killed me but then, he saved me? I didnt understand.
I spent the day reading books I had conjured from my dormitory and choking down varied potions, doing my best not to vomit. I could feel the evil rushing through my veins. Contaminated. Thats what I was. Filled with the blood of a killer. He did this purposely, to drive me mad. He wanted me to go insane.
I lay in the settling darkness with no visitors, no friends to speak of. Considering what had happened to me, I wondered what had happened to Fred. I was worried; he wasnt in here. What if he was lying unconscious somewhere, like I had been? Worse, what if he was actually dead? Ivan was fully capable of it
Once I started to worry, I didnt stop. Matters were only made worse when the sun disappeared behind the mountains, casting the Hospital Wing into obscurity. Every time there was a noise, I jumped out of my skin, afraid Ivan or whoever had attacked me would come back to finish the job.
The door creaked open slowly. My breathing grew shallow and I looked around wildly for Madame Bones, but she had retired to her sleeping quarters for the night. I fumbled for my wand but realized that it was with my clothes in her locked office.
Then there were footsteps. They were slow, measured, and heavy. It was the man in the steel-toed boots! As silently as I could, I tried to get out of the bed and hide, but considering the fact that I still had a cast on both legs and an arm, it was extremely difficult.
The footsteps grew closer. Come on Clara, faster, faster! I managed to get both of my feet on the ground, but as I made to crouch down, a hand came down on my shoulder. I screamed loudly.
Clara! Clara calm down, its just me!
Heart racing, I swallowed and turned around. Fred! Oh my God, dont ever do that again! I thought you were- I thought you were-
Your attacker? Thats why Im here, he said. I figured Daley would come back and try to finish the job.
Daley?! I was shocked. He was so scrawny, so wiry, so twisted and sick. It was Daley who attacked me?
Fred nodded grimly. He was bragging to Ivan about it. Had on these heavy boots that were covered in blood.
My mind raced. The crack of the bones, the coppery taste of blood dripping down my face, the stench of bile, the feeling of suffocation then total blackness. Id suspected Ivan. Or Carl, or Ross. Possibly even Bryant. But Kevin Daley, the magical whiz kid.
It was starting to make sense though: he was the master of coming up with torture techniques. He could easily figure out ways to maximize pain and minimize effort. And with those boots, he wouldnt have to rely on strength or power.
But how come youre okay? I was confused. I was in the Hospital Wing with dozens of broken bones and a head wound, but he was standing in front of me, completely unharmed.
I know how to defend myself, he said darkly. Not that you dont, but youre new to this. I started learning advanced DADA in second year. Turner sent his three quidditch cronies, Davenport, Nicholson, and Hayes after me, but they ended up much worse off than me. Ive been in here every night though, just in case.
My heart fell. Youve been in here every night? And no one else?
Well obviously Madame Bones has been here, McGonagalls been here, Longbottom, firstly to make sure one of his students was all right and secondly to see his wife, and a few other students with varied injuries, but I was the only one here at night that I know of. Fred frowned, as though thinking about something.
Id thought for certain that James would have come. He had, after all, brought me here. Didnt he care? Fred?
His eyes shot over to mine. Hmm?
I know this is going to sound weird but, you werent by any chance holding my hand at any point, were you?
He laughed. No, cant say that I was.
So that had been a hallucination. I should know better by now. Seeing my expression, he sighed and ran a hand over his face. Are you in love with James?
Yeah. There was no point in denying it. He was all I could think about lately. And he wouldnt even give me the time of day.
Fred sighed. Im sorry, Clara.
Im sorry, Clara. Thats what the doctors had said, thats what my mother had said, thats what my teachers and friends at school had said, and the multiple sets of foster parents who sent me back into the system. Id been receiving apologies all my life for things out of my control.
But this apology was so much worse. It meant there was no hope. Fred knew James better than anyone else. James didnt love me. And that was something I didnt think that I could live with.
You should try and get some sleep, Fred advised, taking a seat beside my bed. Ill be on the lookout.
I nodded and adjusted the pillows, rolling over so my back was to him. My throat constricted as though I might cry, but of course no tears came. Instead I was left with my own mistakes. James.
Mum? I could hardly believe it. It was the first time Id seen her since she left me at an orphanage when I was eight years old. She looked fine. Id been expecting a broken woman. A sad woman. Someone whod been missing her daughter. Instead she looked whole, clean, together .happy.
Clare Bear! she cried enthusiastically, and crushed me to her in a hug. Like I was coming home from school on a break and it had only been a few months since wed last seen each other. Except it had been five years. Look at how big youve gotten!
I pulled away and crossed my arms. That tends to happen, even if your parents abandon you.
Honey, you know I didnt want to leave you. But I had to, the doctors said it was best! Her smile was perky and bright, as though it would help convince me of her innocence.
Best for you! You had a choice Mum, and you made the wrong one, for me! You loved him more than me, and so you left. Like a coward. Turning away, I angrily kicked at the ground. Here we were in front of my seventh foster home, the wilted flowers and chipped picket fence the best parts about it.
She blinked. Honey you know thats not true.
It didnt sound convincing, even to her. But it is. So while Ive been rotting away for years, youve been, what? Getting manicures and lying on cushy couches telling someone about your feelings? No calls, no letters, not even on my birthday, or Christmas. I hate you! I wish youd never come back!
And so I left, like she had done to me so many years before. Because thats the thing: I was a coward too.
I awoke to sunlight, chirping birds, and Madame Bones trying to cram a potion down my throat while I was unconscious. Fred was gone. As I obliged to her poking and prodding, I thought about the dream Id had. Well, technically it wasnt a dream; it had been very real a few years ago.
Of course I didnt actually mean it when I said I wished she had never come back for me. At age thirteen, I felt bitter, scorned, angsty everything a thirteen year old feels even if they have two healthy parents and a roof over their head. Id been unable to see how lucky I was to have a parent who cared enough to come back. Most parents left and didnt look back.
I could only hope that James cared enough to come back for me, too.

The Importance of "You Time"
April 23rd, 2012
A girls' night out is the perfect prelude to a passionate evening with your significant other.
Let me be clear: when I say "girls' night out" I don't mean drinking a glass of cheap chardonnay at some dive while your BFF complains about her ex. I'm talking you put on an outfit that you feel great in, you do a lot of laughing with friends, maybe some dancing and you come home feeling rejuvenated. And kinda sexy.
An evening out with girlfriends is a great way to de-stress. Catch up. Get your gossip on. Maybe you a get a drink compliments of the cutie at the end of the bar – flirting is something we forget to do with our SO – sometimes it takes a stranger to remind us how great it feels. And all this revelry reminds you how wonderful it is NOT to be single anymore.
So you go home to the one who knows exactly how you like to be touched and kissed. And you remind them how grateful you are to have them warming up the sheets.

MINISTERS' plans for every pupil in the first three years of primary to receive a free school meal from next year will not work in some rural areas, it has been warned.
Highland Council's Adult and Children's Services Committee yesterday considered a report highlighting the difficulties for remote schools that did not have kitchens and were too far from other institutions for hot meals to be delivered.
A total of 10 Highland primaries, accounting for 44 children in the first three years, do not have a catering service. The committee will now establish the financial consequences for the council, whose catering budget is already in a "pressure situation".

The Scottish Government has pledged to work with local authorities to find a practical way forward.
A spokeswoman said: "We recognise that school food services across Scotland are designed to suit local and school needs and vary widely in terms of methods of food preparation, distribution and menu choice.
"In order to deliver our commitment on free school meals, we will work in partnership with (local authority umbrella group) Cosla over the next year to explore how any practical implications will be addressed."

This is kind of uncharted territory here and I am really excited to see how this goes. We are doing some work to understand our key target candidates in marketing. Not just titles and the names of companies that they might work at. We are trying to develop a full profile including behaviors and attitudes toward Microsoft (specifically Microsoft as a marketing career destination). A big piece of my job is marketing, really. Building community (something that marketers at Microsoft do), building outreach programs, direct mail programs, marketing segmentation, competitive analysis...(all things that marketers at Microsoft do).
Anyway, as we work toward understanding our key profiles (I mentioned our work on this before...still analyzing), we want to measure our employment brand (how squishy sounding is that? If it was easy it wouldn't be as much fun). This is something that a market research function would typically do. Then, we want to create effective brand marketing messages and the programs to deliver them to our key targets (what a brand team would do). So today, we met with leaders from our market research and brand teams to get feedback on our methodology and commitments to assist with developing a framework. It was incredibly cool to see business leaders so engaged around OUR work! Definitely a highlight and I'll have more updates as we progress through our methodology.
For people out there wanting to understand more about developing an understanding of your employment brand and strategies for enhancing it, you may want to check out Dr. John Sullivan's book Rethinking Strategic HR (there's a chapter on branding). We've been laughing here about how everyone in the HR industry wants to be "strategically aligned with the business". Dr. John lays out some specific criteria to use to assess whether you are strategic or not. So, check us out Dr. John....how are we doing ; ) (Sorry, I keep saying Dr. John like it's Chaka Khan and it's kinda fun...Dr. John, Dr. John)

"Headed nowhere fast."
That was a headline in Sports Illustrated about 30 years ago, trumpeting an article on Oakland Raider quarterback Kenny "The Snake" Stabler. Headed Nowhere Fast.
It chronicled the deliberate, yet savvy style of the man who led the black and silver to a Super Bowl title in January of 1977.
It was a complimentary tag about Stabler, who seemed as sure as he did slow. There was a purpose to his pace.
I am not convinced we can apply the same tag to the Vancouver Canucks, based on Monday night's no-show in the Show Me State.
If there is a purpose to this group's pace, I have yet to figure it out. But this is a team that is indeed, headed nowhere fast.
Happy New Year it ain't, not when the first loss of '06 is against a sorry collection of misfits called the St. Louis Blues, a team destined to miss the playoffs for the first time since 1981.
They might have some company, based on the recent performance of the most underachieving team in the entire NHL this season.
It doesn't take Dr. Phil to determine this group is a tad dysfunctional. We have heard for years about the core group, that it is among the most talented fivesomes in the league. Naslund, Bertuzzi, Morrison, Jovanovski, and Ohlund.
Surround this core with a bunch of gritty foot soldiers and you might just as well plan the parade route while you are at it.
Evidently there is nothing so uncertain as a sure thing. In my mind, there are now just two members of that vaunted core that are untouchable ... Naslund and Ohlund.
I would hate to lose Jovanovski because he plays with such passion and energy, but his contract is up at the end of the year and he would fetch something in return.
Morrison has been Marc Crawford's whipping boy for so long, a change would do him good. And no one can convince me Bertuzzi wouldn't be better off somewhere else, and now that he is more productive, there would be an appetite for him around the league.
All of the above of course, is easier said than done. This is the age of the salary cap and while a number of teams would love to take on many of the aforementioned players, few have the financial room to do so. Boston moving Joe Thornton to San Jose earlier this season was an aberration. Very few players in the $4- 5-million neighbourhood are going to have address changes. It's the new reality.
The goaltending situation will be addressed. It has to be. Alex Auld is a bright, articulate young man, with considerable potential.
The Canucks may well be served by Auld at some point down the line - but not now.
He has proved capable as a backup, but not as a number one goalie, and that is a void Dave Nonis knows he must do something about.
Olaf Kolzig's name keeps popping up, but so do his contract numbers. Roberto Luongo ... Nikolai Khabibulin ... Bernie Parent ... Spider Lockett ... the rumor mill is working hard, but reality is another matter altogether.
Nonis has made it clear that he has no intention of whacking Crawford. The possibility of making a major deal is remote.
The acquisition of a goaltender is more than a possibility - it's a probability. So there you have it folks.
As close as you all were to the panic button after the debacle in St. Louis, the people that matter in the Canuck organization are nowhere near it.
They believed in this core group last summer, and they still believe in it.
That faith might be rewarded, but nearing the halfway point of this season, you have to wonder. Headed nowhere fast? Or is there a purpose to their pace? Stay tuned.

The O2 Arena is vast, offering room for around twenty three thousand revellers depending on what's on stage. There's a flat floor plus two tiers, the first of which covers areas 101 to 112 and the second areas 401 - 422.
In the main arena, central floor seating comes with enough legroom and good views of the stage, surrounded by the steep banks of the lower-tier seating with their private boxes. The closer the boxes are to the stage, the better the views, with great visuals and sound.
The arena seats are on a relatively shallow slope so you might encounter people's heads in the way in front of you. But the issue doesn't occur when events are staged centrally, as they often are. The lower tier seats are steeply sloped with good views all round even at the sides. The upper tier seating is very steep indeed and not for the faint hearted! And the balconies, while giving decent views, have safety rails which can get in the way.
Bear in mind the seating at the O2 changes depending on the event.

Basic SEO Techniques Harringay :
A few basic SEO techniques:
- View Google's cache to see your page the way a search engine sees it. If you can't see an element of the page in the cache, the search engines can't see it either! This means that content isn't gaining you any search traffic.
- Be sure your page is reachable. Crawlers don't perform searches, they travel by links. This means your page has to be viewable by clicking on a link on another page or crawlers won't see it and it won't be searchable.
- Be sure you don't have metaframes preventing your page from being crawled. Many Harringay webmasters use metaframes to prevent rogue bots from crawling their page and don't realize that these metaframes will also prevent search bots from crawling their pages!
- Don't let your links get lost in a sea of links. Pages with hundreds or thousands of links may not get crawled thoroughly in order to prevent spam and skewed rankings.
- Use specific keywords. General keywords will have lots of competition. By using more specific keywords, a webmaster can reduce competition and increase rankings.
- Don't abuse keywords. Use your keywords in natural speech. Optimize your page for one or two specific keywords that searchers might use when looking for information available on your page. Be sure your keywords are relevant to your content.
- Don't use keywords in link anchor text pointing to other pages on your site. (This is known as commiting keyword cannibalization.)
- Be sure your keywords are plain text HTML. Add ALT text for images, transcripts for videos and audio clips, and put captions with java or flash plugins or images. Although crawlers are improving, many are unable to process anything besides plain text.
Be Aware of User Experience
Increasing the usability, accuracy, and visual design of the website will also increase your search metrics. Search engines use search metrics and backlinks to determine the popularity and user-friendliness of your page. These factors play an important role in SEO. Always seek to create content that is pleasing for your reader.
Search Engines use Engagement Metrics to determine user satisfaction. Time spent on a search result means the user found the result much more helpful than a user who immediately hits the back button to look for another search.
The Panda update allows google to use machine learning to rank websites on quality and user friendliness. In 2011, human evaluators ranked thousands of websites based on quality and then implemented machine learning that mimicked those evaluators. This update changed more than 20% of search results.
Selecting Keywords:
Things to consider when selecting keywords:
- The Keyword's relevance to your page. Will the people using that keyword in searches be satisfied with the content on your page?
- The Keyword's specificity. Would a narrower keyword or keyphrase attract an audience that is more interested in your content than the audience of the broader term? On the other hand, is your keyword so specific it won't be searched?
- The Competition on that keyword. Can you compete with the current top ranked websites for your keyword?
Where to Put Keywords:
- In the Title: as close to the beginning as you can put it
- At the Top of the Page
- Several times throughout the body of the page
- At least once in the ALT text
- In the URL
- In the Summary or Meta description tag
Optimizing Title Tags:
- Titles should be between 45 and 55 characters long. Titles that exceed 55 characters in length may not show properly in google searches.
- Keywords should be placed near the beginning of the title
- Consider putting your brandname at the end of the title
- Don't sacrifice readability and emotional impact for keyword optimization
Visit https://moz.com/learn/seo/title-tag to see how the title and summary of your page would show up in a google search.
Constructing URLS:
- Keep them short
- Be sure your reader has an idea of what he will find on the page when reads the URL
- Use plain text links
- Use hyphens to separate words
- Use keywords
How Links to your Page Effect your SEO
- Are a wide variety of websites created by a wide variety of webmasters on a wide variety of topics linking to your site?
- Are many sites on similar topics linking to your site?
- Are the ranking sites for your keywords linking to your site?
- Are sites linking to your page using your keywords in anchor text to link to your site? (Anchor text is the blue text that shows on a webpage instead of the URL to the link)
- Are you getting links from trusted sources?
- Have you refrained from linking to spammy or poor quality websites and websites that link to your page?
- Have you been accruing new links?
- Is your page being shared on social media?
If you can answer yes to the eight questions above, links to your content are doing their job and helping increase your rankings. If you can't answer yes to each question, devise strategies to remedy your answer.
Creating good, quality content that related pages will naturally link to is one of the best ways to get links. Another great way, is through Manual Outreach. Don't under estimate the traffic that a well placed link can generate itself. Target specific websites who cater to similar audiences, preferably websites with few links, high credibility and high rankings for your keywords, and invite them to link to your page. Be sure to explain how linking to your page is a benefit for them, and not just an act of charity for you. You may also use this tool to see your competitors' backlinks. Finding sites who have linked to the top ranked sites for your keyword gives you a list of sites that whose links would be of value to you. Avoid self-created links on lower quality websites. While they may help rankings a little bit, they may also hurt your rankings. If you pursue this option, proceed with caution.
Search Engine Webmaster SEO advice
SEO advice from the major search engine webmasters includes:
- Be sure all pages can be reached by static, plain-text links. (Links of the form: , as opposed to links buried in images, java or flash.) These links are easier for crawlers to find.
- Don't "cloak" your work, or try to present different content to the search engine than you present to the user. Make sure your page is optimized to be found by a search engine when a user searches a relevant query. Don't try to cheat the crawler's and their index.
- Use accurate, descriptive, clear language with appropriate keywords in your titles, subtitles and ALT text. (ALT text is text that appears when an image cannot be displayed.) On hubpages, photo captions are ALT text and are therefore an extremely important part of search engine optimization.
- Create content filled with relevant keywords.
Check for Errors

How to Develop an SEO Friendly PHP Website?
SEO is constantly changing. It's changing because Google wants to improve the user experience. This past January, a core algorithm update was quietly implemented. It's now March and people are still not quite sure what this update did and how it's going to alter the SEO landscape.
It made me think about how SEO has changed and how it will continue to change going forward. I approached Scott Cohen, the CEO of 180Fusion, to talk about this issue.
AJ: Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to speak to me. Before we launch into SEO, could you tell my readers about what 180Fusion does?
Cohen: 180Fusion is the leader in performance driven digital marketing that specializes in helping companies increase sales by driving online traffic in a profitable way. The platform and services support all aspects of SEO/ SEM, including local SEO, content marketing, PPC, and Enterprise SEO campaigns. Our goal is to help our clients go from being "in business" to "succeeding in business online."
AJ: To start with, what do you think is the general trend hitting SEO today?
Cohen: I think the trend is exactly the same as it has been for some years. Google wants its results to reflect relativity and genuine popularity. First of all, if you are not opting for completely white hat SEO techniques, you are making a massive mistake. Even if you are using grey hat techniques, Google is going to catch up with you one day.
But genuine popularity is the key. If you can produce content that people actually want to read, as opposed to just generating a link, then you are going to achieve incredible success.
AJ: You mentioned relativity. What do you mean when you say 'relative'?
Cohen: Relativity has changed. Previously, it was about making sure that you are being ranked for the right keywords. Google has made it practically impossible not to rank in the correct category because their technology has come so far.
Relativity is about laser targeting your audience through using long-tail keywords. Over half of searchers are using search strings that are more than four words to get the right results.
It goes further than simply using long-tail keywords. Local SEO has become prominent because of Google's habit of providing personalized search results. This means that two people can search for entirely the same thing, but get two sets of results based on their geographical location. There's also the potential for hyperlocal SEO to become a thing as Google's algorithms become more accurate.
AJ: Moving on to the mobile revolution, this can be quite confusing for people who are new to the SEO arena. How would you make sense of this?
Cohen: I would say the newcomer to the field needs to keep in mind that they absolutely have to be optimized for mobile searches. The customer experience is the most important thing here. Take this statistic as an example: 55% of customers would pay more for a guaranteed good experience.
You can give them that good experience without them having to pay more. Responsive design is a must because it impacts the user experience directly. It's why Google has used the Mobilegeddon thing to penalize websites that don't cater to mobile users.
You should go even further in catering to mobile users by creating content specifically to them. This is what I mean by relativity in SEO. The way people access the Internet is changing.
AJ: What would you say the state of content marketing is?
Cohen: The state of content marketing is always an interesting subject because there are always groups who say that it's dying or already dead. I smile because every year content marketing is stronger than ever before. As the saying goes, content is king because users crave good quality content. Despite the importance of social media, there's still room for long-form content.
If you are answering commonly asked questions and directly addressing the issues of users, you are going to win in the SEO race.
Google has said many times that it wants companies to cater directly to the needs of users not SEO. Companies that have heeded these words have been rewarded by Google. By creating relevant content on a consistent basis that customers actually want to read, they have seen their rankings skyrocket.
It can take some time to build up a solid content marketing base, but when you do you are in a great position for success.
AJ: I would like to thank you for taking the time to speak to my readers today about the direction SEO is moving in.
According to the Experts - How SEO is Changing
Currently, SEO web design is the most promoted product for the online businesses to achieve their sales targets. Yes, fetching a good traffic from Google or other search leading engines is being possible with SEO campaigns. On-page optimization, off-page optimization, and technical factors are the three prime elements of bringing SEO success for a website. So, the need of SEO friendly programming language can be fulfilled with PHP. For a better search engine visibility of the web pages, the web developers should follow the following tips while developing a SE friendly website.
• Clean URL structure:
Dynamic URLs and season IDs in URL are not good so the developer need to use a unique PHPSESSID variable. If the season IDs will be included in URLs so, the search engines will treat a single page with different season IDs as different pages. It leads to duplicate content which is punishable by search engines.
Use keyword rich permalinks with url_rewriter tags, which makes the URLs friendly for both search engines and visitors. Also decrease the use of special characters other than the hyphen (-) symbol.
• Avoid canonical errors:
Search engines treat www and non-www sites differently if also they contain the same content. Duplicate content issue may arise, so use 301 redirection. In this concern the PHP developers need to spend more time on the homepage as the site.com/index.php will be treated as different to site.com.
• Putting right heading and bold tags:
Optimizing the website for search engines in the development period carries a lot of responsibilities and adds more tasks for the web developers. Creating a dynamic header (header.php) and using unique values for Meta of singular web pages is a must do act for designing an SEO website. So, at the time of coding, using of page-specific PHP variables get's the work done. $pageTitle, $pageDescription, $pageCanonical, $pageKeywords, $pageRobots, etc are the significant SEO stuffs for On-page optimization of a PHP website. Also, using H1, H2, H3 and <strong> attributes in a webpage improves it's indexing possibility.
• Cross browser issues:
In this mobile web age, we can't rely upon the desktop users only as the growth rate of internet on mobile browsers created a milestone in the last few years. SEO is now promoting user experience and the cross browser compatibility will surely impress both visitors and the search engines. Coding a responsive or mobile friendly website using PHP language is not a hard task for the experienced web developers.
• Navigation and links:
Both of these are vital in bringing SEO success for a website. It is proved that the Google and others like easy to navigate websites. So, use texts based navigation as well as try to have breadcrumbs which provide more flexibility for a user for browsing the site effortlessly. Links, both inbound and outbound, carry the scores of getting good link juice. Using diverse and relevant anchor texts for hyperlinks and declaring rel=nofollow/dofollow attributes is advised.
Advantages of PHP (compared to ASP):
- The accessories or software required for a functional web server for PHP websites, i.e. Linux OS, Apache server, MySQL server, and PHP can be installed or upgraded at free of cost with no restriction. But the MS Windows Server and MS SQL Server (used for ASP) licenses need to be purchased which proves PHP is cost effective.
- ASP.net holds about double time for coding or deployment than PHP so, choosing PHP is wise for the busy web developers concerning time.
- Talking about support, as an open source platform, PHP (with LAMP - (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) has a lot of resources and support options.
- According to most of the research data sources, the communication between PHP and MySQL is a little bit faster than ASP.net and MSSQL. Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Wikipedia, YouTube, etc like some high traffic websites are using MySQL so there is no doubt about the performance of PHP's preferred database management system i.e. MySQL (by Oracle).
- The ext4 file system of Linux OS (supports PHP) has a better performance record than MS Windows OS's NTFS (used for ASP) during Input/output (IO) process.
- The Linux web servers with LAMP platform use comparatively fewer server resources, i.e. CPU and Memory.
- The PHP developers got the flexibility choose their own editor, but this feature is not associated with ASP. Using VI and VIM editors, the PHP developers get access to use and integrate other important platforms like Ajax, JavaScript, JQuery, etc due to developing on an open source platform.
- PHP is supported on any OS platforms like Linux, Mac (Mac OS X), UNIX and Windows also. But ASP is limited to only with MS Windows OS.

Pity Ben Lyons. He lies dying in a hospital bed and wants some peace and quiet in his final days - respect, mostly - but is surrounded by his feckless family.
There's his son, a failed short story writer who depends on his parents' support and has a stable of imaginary friends. There is his needy daughter, a recovering drunk with self-esteem problems who can't quite break free of her ex-husband.
And then there's his wife of 40 years, who is already exploring patterns to redo the living room after Ben has died. Flipping through House Beautiful magazine beside his bed, she throws out options: French provincial? Chinese modern? Early American?
"Is it too much to want a fresh start?" she asks when he objects. "Is it too much to hope for a clean palate?"
No wonder that when the phone rings, Ben Lyons wonders aloud: "God, I hope it's death."
Nicky Silver's terrific play "The Lyons," which opened Monday on Broadway at the Cort Theatre, is filled with moments like those - moments when you can't stop laughing even though the circumstances indicate you really shouldn't.
The first-rate cast - Linda Lavin, Dick Latessa, Michael Esper, Kate Jennings Grant, Brenda Pressley and Gregory Wooddell - has made the trip north after the production made its debut last fall off-Broadway at The Vineyard Theatre. Mark Brokaw returns as the director, and the play has been trimmed into a tighter, harder little gem.
It's a play about family dysfunction and regret, but also about breaking out of our ruts. Silver's humor is mordant, dark and rich. He's a writer who knows all too well the unsaid hurt that can infect families.
Lavin is an absolute wonder to behold as Rita Lyons, a nag of a mother with a collection of firm beliefs and eye rolls, a matriarch who is both suffocating and keeping everyone at arm's length.
She didn't tell her kids that their father was dying for several weeks because she was busy - at a backgammon tournament. She nudges her daughter to meet someone new - including a man dying of lymphoma, commenting in the most lukewarm way possible, "You're perfectly nice looking." One of her grandsons, she wonders aloud, seems to be "just a little bit retarded."
At one point she appears with a box of candy. When her daughter wonders where she got it while at a hospital, she replies: "A little girl down the hall just died. And I got Jordan almonds!"
Latessa adds so much to his role, described simply as a "curmudgeon" in the script. Latessa makes you feel this man's frustration, fear, disappointment and also his love. It is his character's imminent death that shakes up his family.
Of course, he can't get too maudlin - not with Rita around. When he wonders whether he'll end up in hell, she offers: "Well, even if there is a hell, I can't believe you're going. I mean it's a little grandiose of you, don't you think?"
Esper plays the son as a man unraveling, a smugness at the beginning wiped away following a face-off with a real estate broker (Wooddell) in Act 2. He is a man-child, full of hurts and a thin skin, and ends up in the same hospital as his father.
Grant's part has been trimmed with the loss of a monologue, but she is still delightfully wistful, seemingly always befuddled. Both siblings end up in better places at the end, and watching them swallow their disappointments and get on with their lives is a pleasure. Brenda Pressley plays a no-nonsense nurse whom Silver has thankfully resisted making into an angel of mercy.
Nothing beats Rita's final speech, and Lavin rips into it with gusto.
"I am rootless in the world," she says. "I'm still alive and I have to find a way to try to feel something!" You can tell it was a major reason this busy actress chose to commit to this play instead of other Broadway-bound options.
But the real star is Silver's play, a wonderful little riff on family dysfunction. Or, as Rita says while flipping through pictures of beautiful living rooms, "I suppose you never really know what people are like, behind closed doors."

USA Today is reporting a downturn in the stock market in the wake of the Ukraine situation. View video here: http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/markets/2014/03/03/stocks-monday/5968309/

Stock Buybacks and Margin Debt
This Disaster Signal Has Only Been Triggered 3 Times in History
Overnight, Jason Goepfert from SentimenTrader picked up on margin debt, too, but from a different perspective. Here's a part of his take:
"A lot of concern has been expressed about the growth in margin debt in investors' accounts over the past few months, mainly because it has exceeded previous records.
"We've discussed this numerous times over the years, so it's nothing new. Margin debt alone doesn't tell us much; the rate of growth is barely above the rate of growth in the S&P 500, unlike the peaks in 2000 and 2007 when margin debt exploded higher relative to the gains in stocks.
"Still, it's the 'available cash' that is the more important figure, which has now declined to a record low. Investors have a net worth of negative $177 billion, exceeding the previous low of negative $129 billion in February 2000."

Get ready, kids, it's your first image from the upcoming Paul W.S. Anderson remake of "Death Race 2000" (aka "Death Race 3000"), and it features — er, Jason Statham driving a car. Yeah, not exactly exciting stuff, but what the hell, it's the first ever image from the movie, so take a gandar.
Jason Statham leads the cast of an action-thriller set in the post-industrial wasteland of tomorrow, with the world's most brutal sporting event as its backdrop. A penitentiary full of felons has inspired the jailers to create a grisly pastime ripe for lucrative kickbacks. Now, adrenalized inmates, a global audience hungry for televised violence and a spectacular arena come together to form the Death Race.
Three-time speedway champion Jensen Ames (Statham) is an expert at survival in the harsh landscape that has become our country. Just as he thinks he has turned his life around, the ex-con is framed for a gruesome murder he didn't commit. Forced to don the mask of the mythical driver Frankenstein—a crowd favorite who seems impossible to kill—Ames is given an easy choice by Terminal Island's warden (Joan Allen): suit up or rot away in a cell.
His face hidden by a metallic mask, one convict will be put through an insane three-day challenge. Ames must survive a gauntlet of the most vicious criminals in the country's toughest prison to claim the prize of freedom. Driving a monster car outfitted with machine guns, flamethrowers and grenade launchers, one desperate man will destroy anything in his path to win the most twisted spectator sport on Earth.

Hi all,
I use a Sony mid-consumer camcorder shooting in AVCHD 1080 50p @ 28 mbit/s. When my card is full, I save the content to my NAS for future use (and back up to the cloud). The content of such a card are MTS files. For home/family/holiday shooting I'd like to edit some and create a movie for let's say our latest holiday. However, for space saving, I'd like to save the completed movie in a smaller format to play on my TV. Loss of some detail is fine, but I can't seem to find a format/program that creates a smooth end product. It is not "smooth" enough in panning and faster movements. (Playing the original MTS files is fine)
I've tried Windows Movie Maker, VideoPad VideoEdior, VSDC Free Video Editor and now trials of Sony Movie Studio Platinum and Corel VideoStudio Pro X7. I like the Sony program but it produces sub standard quality when choosing the standard MP4 save option. AVCHD save option produces good results but again large M2TS files (around 50% of original).
Can anyone help me in the direction of creating smooth files based on my MTS source files? Or is the "Sony M2TS" save option the best choice?
Thanks, Ralph

Using Sony Movie Studio try upping the bit rate when rendering to MP4. You will have to customize a template to do that.Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence -Carl Sagan
In Vegas Movie Studio be sure your project settings match your footage, and be sure your export matches your project. Then up your bitrate a little as treetops suggests.

I am 50 year old reasonably fit and healthy male and have a worsening problem of invountary sniffing and snorting, I feel like my sinus is all clogged up and sniff totry and clear it, I have been to 2 seperate ear nose and throat specialist and have been told by both that my sinuses are perfect, catscans show no disorders at all, one suggested it may be a stress related muscular disorder, I have noticed it is not as bad on weekends when i am away from work but progressively gets worst as the week goes on and starts to get better closer to the weekend, it is also much worse after drinking a lot of alcohol on the weekend. I dont really feel that i am stressed at work but cant explain why it feels better on weekends. who do i see to diagnose this problem? can it be treated? do i see a Neuroligist? any info would be appreciated.

Involuntary Sniffing & Snorting
I'm a 29yr old male recently finished a 6yr tour of duty with the Air Force. I have the same problem. It feels as if there is always something dripping down the back of my throat from my sinuses. I've had a nasal passage surgery to open the airway but Dr's say theres nothing wrong with my sinuses and nothing more than can do.... I feel uncomfortable all day involuntarily snorting and sniffing.. Does anyone know what could cause this? I've had Dr's say maybe Tourettes, Maybe Stress, but why would I feel that sinus congestion?

Tell you what my dad has been doing it for over 15 years, he sniffs and sniffs and sniffs every 5 seconds, he will sniff so much he will cough because he inhaled to much.
Its a permanent dry sniff, you can hear no mucus inhalation, its just an irritating sniff. i believe it is due to a psychological problem, your brain tricking you into feeling you have mucus running down your nasal passage. for example did you ever blow you nose whilst you where ill or did you just sniff it backwards, your brain can get used to that feeling of mucus running down that passage, and when you have a slight amount of mucus moving it will trick you into thinking there is more..
It irritates me highly when he sniffs, as its not a proper way of breathing, the oxygen levels change in the body at a high rate due to the amount of sniffing you do, it also can cause tension on the lungs.

Uncontrollable Snorting
My friend is a male 37 yrs old. He has mild problem with his heart. His artery abnormally gets smaller sometimes that he gets dizzy and we are not sure if this is why he also gets headache and has hard time breathing. Before this was diagnosed, I hear him snort sometimes... he got really ill and was given medicine for his ailment. But now he snorts even more... every 15 to 45 secs interval. He said he has hard time breathing until now... and felt like his nose is always clogged and his cold doesn't thoroughly gets better. Sometimes he gets double vision, and nausea which eventually becomes headache. Anyone who knows why this happens?

I had exactly the same issue. Spent a FORTUNE on every conceivable ENT specialist and medication known to man
Turns out it's ...
a FOOD INTOLERANCE!!!
Mostly DAIRY!!
Who knew??
Went on a cleansing diet on advice from Chinese medicine/ acupuncture woman ..who diagnosed 'DAMP issues!' Google it.. quite interesting!
Some foods really exacerbate it like banana and avocado
So for a few weeks I ate:
No meat, wheat, sweets, dairy, salad, fruit or alcohol
Just warm veggies, beans, lentils.. soup, stews , etc.
no cold food allowed.
She also prescribed 3 months of ChinaMed Chronic Sinus Formula
(Guo min bi yan fang - Xanthium & Astragalus)
And it seriously cleared up.
So grateful now not to be snorting like a pig anymore!!! Although am REALLY missing cheese, yoghurt, and all things dairy .. plus a few other foods that exacerbate it ..
but it's worth it!!

2004 Relay For Life Aims to Set Another Record May 1 & 2
March 11, 2004
March 11, 2004, Greencastle, Ind. - [DOWNLOAD AUDIO: "Challenging Goals" 209KB] "We've had a record-breaking year every year ever since we started in 1997," says DePauw University senior Tricia Cooksey of Putnam County Relay For Life, the event she is chairing this year. "Last year we were bigger and better than we ever thought we were gonna be. We set huge goals and we met and exceeded them, and this year we have higher goals and we're confident we'll meet and exceed them, but it is a challenge," she said. The 24-hour fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, which collected more than $162,000 last year, will begin Saturday, May 1, at noon at DePauw's Blackstock Stadium.
Cooksey says the 2004 Relay is off to a great start, with more sponsors and teams committed to the event than at the same point last year. The goal is to get 145 teams this year, about 20 more than walked the Relay last May. 2003 Putnam County Relay For Life raised more funds than any other college-run Relay in the USA except for the University of Georgia, which has an enrollment 15 times DePauw's 2,400 students. Last spring's event drew 1,500 participants and 80 cancer survivors. Putnam County ranked in the nation's top 10 for fundraising. The American Cancer Society's Great Lakes Division has also awarded the 2003 Putnam County Relay its Heart of Relay Award for Diversity, which recognizes excellence in efforts to encourage participation by all members of the community. Putnam County Relay For Life was awarded the 2002 Heart of Relay Award for the Great Lakes Division, and the year before won the National Heart of Relay Award as the best college or university Relay in the USA.
Putnam County Relay For Life, the oldest college-run Relay in the nation, has seen phenomenal growth. In 1998, the event raised $20,000. The 1999 total of approximately $30,000 was eclipsed by 2000's $42,000. Then, 2001 brought in $80,000, followed by $127,000 in 2002, and last May's $162,000.
[DOWNLOAD AUDIO: "A Universal Fight" 184KB] "Cancer is something that everyone is affected by, one way or another," Cooksey noted. "Whether it's a family member, a friend, or a co-worker, it's something that binds everyone. This community has been absolutely amazing in coming together to find a cure."
The event, which is staged at DePauw, brings together students, faculty, administrators and members of the Putnam County community together for a day of fellowship, celebration and remembrance. The hope is that someday the annual effort will fulfill its goal of eliminating the disease that will afflict 1.3 million new victims this year.
Tricia Cooksey (seen at right) is confident this year's event will continue the tradition of success, but realizes that that will take the efforts of more than a thousand people -- individuals, co-workers, and families who have come together to make the Relay a success since its inception. [DOWNLOAD AUDIO: "Pulling Together" 75KB] "It's a testament to [the Putnam County] community and the DePauw community and how amazing they are and how when we all come together we can do amazing things."

Aston Martin DB5 in Goldfinger (1964)
Ask anyone in their 50s to picture James Bond and youll get the same answer: a very handsome Sean Connery in a silver Aston Martin. The DB5 is the classic Bondmobile, so much so that Pierce Brosnan brought it back in the 1995 hit Goldeneye. A little over a thousand of these coupes were made between 1963 and 1965.

HONG KONG—Jeremy Lin, the NBA's first Chinese-American player, said Sunday he was "surprised" by Chinese fans support as he and his team Charlotte Hornets beat Los Angeles Clippers in a preseason game in Shenzhen.
The 27-year-old, whose ancestry is from Taiwan and China, in July signed with Hornets in a free agent deal worth $4.3 million over two years.
He had previously spent two NBA seasons with Houston after leaving the Knicks and last season with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Playing an NBA game in China for the first time, he said he felt "thankful" for Chinese fan support after his side won the match 106-94.
"I feel thankful and blessed...It's the first time for me to play professional basketball in China," he told reporters in Putonghua at a press conference following the sold-out game attended by 17,400 at the Shenzhen Universiade Centre.
"I am surprised that fans treated me so well...no matter in the hotel or when I was walking around, they'd bring up posters and the jerseys," he said.
In 28 minutes of play, he scored 16 points.
Lin inspired "Linsanity" in 2012 when he came off the bench to spark a win streak by the injury-riddled New York Knicks.
It is also the first time an NBA game was played in Shenzhen, which borders Hong Kong.

Hello, I have a question regarding the differences between a PDK/CDK (Process/Cadence Design Kit) and a standard cell library. Sometime people use them interchangeably, but I think there are some inherent differences between these two things. Can anyone clarify this? The reason I asked this question is because recently I began searching for a MOSIS compatible 130nm or 90nm process for Cadence to do custom IC layout. I personally used GPDK and NCSU before; they have layout/schematic/symbol views for nmos, pmos, metal1-9, vias, nwell, psub... basically components that let users to build a circuit. However, GPDK is not MOSIS compatible and NCSU does not have 130nm or 90nm processes. I recently obtained IBM cms9flp process ARM Standard Cell Library, however, I don't know how to install it with Cadence. For GPDK or NCSU, there is a "lib" folder that contains all the components and their views (for example, lib/nmos/Layout, lib/nmos/Schematic...). However, there is no such thing for the ARM Standard Cell Library I obtained. Is this one of the differences between PDk and Standard Cell Library. Can anyone explain? I am wondering if I should be looking for cms9flp IBM PDK instead of the Standard Library. Thank you all in advanced!
A PDK includes the technology data, the base devices, DRC and LVS decks, model files, etc. The CDK (complete design kit) usually is a PDK with digital standard cell libraries. The stdCellLibraries include .lib file (timing) Verilog, .LEF ( Library Echange Format ), GDS - physical layout and some other files are used for place and route. The LEF is input (LEFin) to create the abstracts, the symbols (VerilogIn) and the layout (GDS). Once these are input, you will have your stdCell library.


text: So this is my first time making bacon. I picked up two 10 lb skinless pork bellies from Restaurant Depot. They have been sitting in Pops Brine for the last week and will do one more week before I get ready to smoke them over hickory pellets for 12 to 24 hours. My plan is to do these in my WSM by removing the water pan and just putting my AMPS in the bottom where I would normally put charcoal. I can fit a whole belly on each of the two racks. I did a test smoke yesterday and with just the AMPS smoking I could keep the temp in my WSM at 75 deg over night. During the day due to ambient temps it got up to 105 deg's . I have read that I can do a 12 hour smoke and then remove the bellies for a time to the refrigerator and then do a second 12 hour smoke. Does anyone see any problem with this plan? I have a week left of it sitting in the brine so I have time to make changes.

Right, just got some crossmax wheels and I am attempting to go tubeless for the first time.
I am using continental baron tyres, stans sealant, lots of soapy waterand a track pump and I just cannot get the tyre to seat, I have taken the inner out of valve in an attempt to get more air in but there is no difference. I have followed various guides online but still no luck.
Now, short of getting a little co2 cartridge thingy is there anything else I can do to help seat the tyre? Would taking it to the local petrol station to use the inflator help
Any suggestions before the wheel is thrown round the house?

Kevin Federline and Britney Spears may have had a rocky marriage and a very public custody battle over their children, but that doesn't mean her former husband isn't happy for the pop star. The thirty year old's engagement to Jason Trawick has been front page news all week, and word has apparently reached Federline who's currently in Australia filming a reality show called Excess Baggage. During a sitdown with TV Week, he told the interviewer he's happy because his children love mom's new fiancé. He went on to say he's spoken to Trawick a few times and he "seems like a really good guy".
At some point, you have to put the bitterness and the hostility aside and just root for people to be happy. That seems to be the message here from Federline. According to The New York Daily News, the former dancer also had some kind words for Britney herself. He said she sounds really happy whenever they speak and that she seems to be "in a good place".
Looking back, it's probably safe to say Federline and Spears simply got married too soon. Since their divorce, each has found a maturity and a stability that didn't seem to be present in their marriage. This high road approach from K-Fed speaks to that, as does Britney's engagement to someone who's convinced her to reconnect with her family and be happy with herself.
Pop Blend wishes both Spears and Federline nothing but the best as they continue to raise their children as a team.

Live Free ft. Omniscient - Soldiers
Live Free isn't exactly new to the Booth, but don't worry if the name fails to ring any bells. Thanks to his work with underground crew Real Talk, as well as his guest turns on records by Omniscient and DaVincci, you likely know him as AG Lyonz. On solo DJBooth debut Soldier, released along with official visuals by Garcia, the artist's reggae influences come to the fore, along with his political convictions. Over production by label bosses Miami Beat Wave, he laments the fact that the poor have to die in wars started by the power elite. Returning Lyonz' favor from The Roll Up, Omniscient delivers a little revolutionary rhetoric of his own on the back. Fans can find Soldier and plenty more where it came from on new EP One Way, available for free digital download via Bandcamp.

I've tabbed this as i think i play it more accurately than any of the previous tab's,
a tip while playing this song, play a constant downstrum on the guitar and concentrate on
the A, D & G strings on the guitar more prominantly than the other strings to
give a more bass sound.
Hope you agree and enjoy, i'm new to ultimate guitar and this is the first time i've

Erin quickly finds himself stuck in the Saudi desert, studying a new bacteria with a voracious appetite for oil and an uncanny talent for destroying drilling equipment. But worst of all is its ability to spread. It soon becomes clear that if this contagion isn't stopped, it will infiltrate the world's petroleum reserves, cutting off the energy that provides the heat, food, and transportation necessary for survival. As the threat becomes more real, Erin realizes that there's something eerily familiar about this bacteria. And that it couldn't possibly have evolved on its own.

"Great storyline..."
...very scary, let's hope this isn't a prophecy! I enjoyed the characters and pace of this Audiobook.
"Good adventure"
Neat concept, fun story, wasn't among my favorite of the end-of-the-world/Armageddon type stories but it was entertaining.
"WARNING: Rated R!"
Perhaps this is a good book, but after being hit with four shots of swearing just 15 minutes into the book, I had to abandon ship. I wish Audible provided a language warning in descriptions, so I wouldn't waste a credit. If you don't like audiobooks swearing into your ears (or into your car or kitchen or family room), stay away!

He may be the second favourite in the Melbourne Cup odds, but horse number 24 in the 2010 Melbourne Cup field Maluckyday is a real unknown and could be a risky bet for punters.
The Michael, Wayne and John Hawkes-trained Maluckyday has risen from relative obscurity to become the second favourite behind So You Think to win the 150th Emirates Melbourne Cup after the Zabeel four-year-old stormed home to win the Group 3 The Lexus Stakes (2500m) at Victoria Derby Day last Saturday.
Join now to bet with
The win gave Maluckyday automatic entry into the $6 million Melbourne Cup and after connections paid the final acceptance fee, the horse snuck into the field.
Now the punters are getting right behind him to cause an upset in Flemington Race 7 tomorrow, backed from $9 into $8.50 at Luxbet, trailing only the Bart Cummings-trained So You Think in the Melbourne Cup odds.
Maluckyday's win in The Lexus on Saturday was ultra impressive, as the gelding beat home fellow Melbourne Cup rivals Linton and Once Were Wild by two lengths.
Red Ruler, Mouryan and Herculian Prince were all also in The Lexus Stakes field, unable to get anywhere near the winner.
The quality of runners he defeated and the ease in which he won instantly made Maluckyday popular with the Melbourne Cup punters.
The fact he then drew ideally with barrier six and is the 51kg lightweight of the field has seen more and more money come in for Maluckday as the Melbourne Cup countdown continues.
However, is the short price on Maluckyday to win the Melbourne Cup justified? And is he a safe horse to back in the Melbourne Cup markets?
While punters are getting on the Maluckday bandwagon in droves there are some harsh factors against him to consider:
- This lightly-raced horse has had just eight career starts and none in Group 1 company
- Longest distanced win was 2500m, untested over the 3200m Melbourne Cup distance
- Unknown how he will handle a wet Flemington track
- Big race crowd, large field and supercharged atmosphere on Melbourne Cup Day could be too much for this unseasoned runner
- Has not been targeted specifically for the Melbourne Cup and has not had a genuine Melbourne Cup preparation
However, Maluckyday is hitting form at the right time and is carrying the same weight Shocking had aboard for his Melbourne Cup win 12 months ago.
Our tip? If the track is rated Slow or better add Maluckday into your Melbourne Cup multiples but if rain increases and the Flemington track is soft tomorrow, stick with known Slow-Heavy handlers such as Harris Tweed, Descarado and Monaco Consul.
