The story begins when Reichl, living in a '70s Berkeley commune, gets her first real job as a restaurant reviewer. Despite the incredulity of her in-the-movement roommates ("You're going to spend your life telling spoiled, rich people where to eat?" asks one), Reichl persists, traveling widely to polish her palate. In the doing she meets food luminaries such as Wolfgang Puck (a mad encounter in a produce market), M.F.K. Fisher (lunch and sweet reminiscences), and Alice Waters (a garlic feast), among others. Her trip to China, which includes clandestine dealings with a former chef, is particularly well handled. The ungluing of her first marriage is depicted in adroit emotional counterpoint to her soaring career, as is her discovery of love with her second husband, unspooled against her father's death. Reichl also provides recipes, such as Fall Mushroom Soup (made to comfort herself and her mother) that, unexpectedly and delightfully, deepen the narrative. --Arthur Boehm --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

I'd initially shied away from reading this book because sophomore efforts are rarely as good as the originals, because the first few pages, when I scanned them, looked awfully dreary (all those Berkeley folks giving Reichl a very hard and preachy time of it, complaining that her new job as a restaurant reviewer means selling out), and because of some negative reviews on Amazon. Now that I've reread those reviews, I'm surprised--some people seem to have read such a different book than I did.
But I just figured out what the problem must be. Reichl is a devoted foodie and food writer, but she is also an eloquent and moving memoirist. If you've come to her work looking for insight only about food, go elsewhere (I suggest Jeffrey Steingarten's The Man Who Ate Everything, or AJ Liebling's Between Meals). But if your interested in lives--women's lives especially--and how they intertwine with careers and passions (Reichl's passion being for food among other things), get this. Reichl is definitely and consciously writing in the tradition of MFK Fisher, who used food as a prism to write about a thousand other things.
Reichl's chief story line is about her career as a restaurant critic and a reporter on the scene of the great revolution in Californian (and hence American) cuisine.

Searching for information regarding a 3 year old female indian child from the Camp Grant Massacre. There were many indiana children stolen from the indians at this massacre. Some of the stolen children were placed with some leading families of Tucson, Arizona. I believe my great grandmother; one of the children, was "adopted" by Francisco & Victoriana Romero. Other children were sold in Mexico. I would love to know what happened to any of the children. Notify Administrator about this message?

Hillary goes conservative on immigration
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is staking out a position on illegal immigration that is more conservative than President Bush, a strategy that supporters and detractors alike see as a way for the New York Democrat to shake the "liberal" label and appeal to traditionally Republican states.
Mrs. Clinton — who is tagged as a liberal because of her plan for nationalized health care and various remarks during her husband's presidency — is taking an increasingly vocal and hard-line stance on an issue that ranks among the highest concerns for voters, particularly Republicans.
"Bush has done everything he can to leave the doors wide open," said Robert Kunst, president of HillaryNow.com, a group dedicated to drafting Mrs. Clinton to run for president. "Hillary is the only one taking a position on immigration. She will win that issue hands down."
In an interview last month on Fox News, Mrs. Clinton said she does not "think that we have protected our borders or our ports or provided our first responders with the resources they need, so we can do more and we can do better."
In an interview on WABC radio, she said: "I am, you know, adamantly against illegal immigrants."
"Clearly, we have to make some tough decisions as a country, and one of them ought to be coming up with a much better entry-and-exit system so that if we're going to let people in for the work that otherwise would not be done, let's have a system that keeps track of them," she said.
Unlike many pro-business Republicans, Mrs. Clinton also has castigated Americans for hiring illegal aliens.
"People have to stop employing illegal immigrants," she said. "I mean, come up to Westchester, go to Suffolk and Nassau counties, stand on the street corners in Brooklyn or the Bronx. You're going to see loads of people waiting to get picked up to go do yard work and construction work and domestic work."
In contrast, Mr. Bush backs a guest-worker program that allows foreign citizens entry into the United States and an eventual path to citizenship. One of the president's first acts after his re-election was to push for it again, before both domestic and foreign audiences.
Mrs. Clinton's position has been noticed by Rep. Tom Tancredo, a Colorado Republican and leading proponent of stricter immigration controls.
"She's not a dumb woman," Tancredo spokesman Carlos Espinoza said. "She's got a great liberal base, and she realizes there's no better way to draw in more conservative voters. She has really come out to the forefront on that."
With the vast majority of Americans in polls viewing illegal immigration as a serious problem, Mrs. Clinton also could make deep inroads in the conservative red states, especially those in the South that the Democrats have largely written off in recent presidential campaigns.
As the immigration issue has entered the debate over national security, the New York senator — representing the state hardest hit by the September 11 attacks — is uniquely positioned to take a firm stance on the issue, to the delight of some conservatives.
"More than any other leader of either political party, U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton has been focusing on immigration reform and border security — taking hard-line positions that appeal to frustrated Republicans in a move that could guarantee her enough support in red states to win the White House in 2008," conservative author Carl Limbacher wrote recently on NewsMax.com, which has chronicled many of Mrs. Clinton's statements on immigration.
Mr. Espinoza said the former first lady has become particularly vocal on the issue during and after the November election, in which Democrats performed so poorly.
"I think she's realizing how much this issue has grown since 9/11," he said. "If you talked about it before then, you were just a flat-out racist. Now it's this huge issue."
Moving to the right of even some Republicans, the former first lady told WABC she favors "at least a visa ID, some kind of entry-and-exit ID. And … perhaps, although I'm not a big fan of it, we might have to move towards an ID system even for citizens."
Jennifer Duffy with the Cook Political Report said a conservative stance on immigration would be wise in the event Mrs. Clinton runs for president in 2008.
"Democrats are asking if it's really smart to nominate another Northeastern Democrat, and she is a Northeastern Democrat," she said. "It's probably smart to blur that perception a little."
But not everyone sees it as a wise a move.
"I think she is trying to move to the right, and immigration is one of the ways she is using to do it," said political strategist Dick Morris, who has a history of working with former President Clinton.
"I think this is a particularly misguided choice on her part, however, since two-thirds of Bush's margin this time was due to his closure of the Democratic margin of victory among Hispanics."
Mr. Bush lost the vote of Hispanics — many of whom are wary of tougher immigration laws — by only 10 percentage points this year, whereas he lost it by 20 percentage points four years ago, Mr. Morris said.
Mr. Kunst, whose Web site supporting Mrs. Clinton got thousands of hits daily right after Mr. Bush's re-election, said Mrs. Clinton is now the strongest Democrat for 2008 in terms of both popularity and financing.
Immigration is a good issue for her even as, he hopes, she holds onto her liberal credentials.
"It's not just about cheap labor anymore," Mr. Kunst said. "It's about security. We have to do something about it."

On December 17, 2009, the M/V Lisa Marie departed Hope Services Shipyard to join La Crosse, Wisconsin, based Brennan Marine's tug fleet. The new towboat was delivered on schedule a common practice for Hope Service's shipyard that has a five month turnaround on this type of tug classification. The 72 ft by 30 ft push tug has a 10 ft depth and 29 ft eye height. The three deck vessel is outfitted with two new Tier II type engines carrying a vessel rating of 2000 hp. The M/V Lisa Marie is the second vessel built by Hope for J.F. Brennan this year. This tug was built with extra reinforcement in its push knees and hull and will begin working for Brennan in St. Louis, Mo., on a project building one of the nation's largest cement plants.

On the heels of the tabloid typhoon that has engulfed his life for the past month, Robert Pattinson stars in Cosmopolis. Members of Team Edward will get another chance to see the blood-thirsty heartthrob play a character different than the one they fell in love with in the Twilight series.
Instead of playing a vampire, Pattinson plays a blood sucker of a different sort in Cosmopolis: a billionaire avoiding a series of obstacles on the way to a haircut. The surreal David Cronenberg film uses the plot as the binder that holds the dialectic dialogue together.
Though the concept is intriguing, the verbose tale sometimes trips on its own words, according to Washington Post critic Stephanie Merry.
"Despite the thick dialogue, the endeavor proves compelling because almost anything seemingly might happen," Merry said. "The abstruse discourse might be better appreciated by a reader than a moviegoer."
Despite the fact that Cosmopolis is tough to follow in parts, Merry believes the movie has a deeper message, simply expressed: money can't buy you happiness.

Those looking to take their mind off of the latest Lance Armstrong news might find Premium Rush to be an acceptable distraction.
While actions flicks are often centered on automobiles, Premium Rush gets the energy going on a bicycle.
Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Dania Ramirez and Michael Shannon, the movie provides plenty of excitement despite a few bits that require a firm suspension of disbelief.
"Granted, it's a preposterous tale involving Chinese gangsters, illegal immigration and the detective's gambling addiction. But most viewers will find enough fun in the telling to forgive its weaknesses," critic Melissa Starker said in her review.
She rated Premium Rush three stars.
Ghost stories are almost always frightening. Paranormal apparitions inhabit films like The Sixth Sense, Poltergeist and The Shining, making up for what they lack in physical matter with a liberal dose of terror.
This genre has repeated enough conventions to allow for the tongue-in-cheek humor that inhabits ParaNorman, a stop-motion animated movie that is less scary than most horror classics, yet dark enough to keep the comedy aimed more at adults than children.
"Too scary for the youngest in the family? Probably, so parents should proceed with caution," critic Sean O'Connell said in his review.
Starring Kodi Smit-McPhee, Anna Kendrick and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, ParaNorman is written and co-directed by Chris Butler, a storyboard artist who has worked with Tim Burton. The connection to the Burton is evident in the look and feel of the film.
Not unlike the James Bond series, The Bourne Legacy introduces a new face into the franchise, and it keeps plugging along.
Matt Damon has been replaced by Jeremy Renner in the protagonist's role. The starring part of Jason Bourne has been newly reconfigured as Aaron Cross, a mercenary trying to figure out how he landed in the midst of this installment of the identity-driven thriller. The new director is Tony Gilroy, the screenwriter of The Bourne (insert noun here).
The elements that made the previous installments successful continue in The Bourne Legacy. Dispatch critic Scott Gowans thought that Part Four moved a little slower in parts than its predecessors, but the style that made the other movies successful is still at play here.
"The story hops all over the world, as bits of plot are distributed like fistfuls of candy on Halloween. Despite the familiarity, the adrenaline rush kicks in — a la James Bond without the sex and glamour," Gowans said.
He rated The Bourne Legacy three stars.
Those who feel overwhelmed by the onslaught of election coverage this year might find something in The Campaign to help lighten the mood.
Starring funnymen Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis as two candidates running for Congressional office, this satire lampoons the election process in all its comedic glory.
The biggest issue that critic Melissa Starker has with The Campaign is that the outrageous antics of real politicians force the actors in the farce to amp their shenanigans up to an unbelievable level.
"Unfortunately, where ridiculous foibles and election stunts are concerned, most everything short of a baby being punched in the face has already been done," Starker said.
Despite the outlandish clowning in D.C., Starker still rated The Campaign three stars.
You have not awakened in a time warp. Despite the fact that Total Recall is in theaters and Roseanne Barr is on TV, the year is 2012 and not 1990.
This version of Total Recall has Colin Farrell starring in the role originated by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Although the effects have been updated in this redux of Recall, the plot and story remain the same.
Skilled thespians and CGI, however, were not enough to sway the opinion of Dispatch critic Scot Gowans on this recalled version of the Philip K. Dick story.
"Despite better actors and cutting-edge special effects, the remake is largely the same. It's weak science fiction wrapped in the too-familiar trappings of a post-apocalyptic film with an overemphasis on action," Gowans said. He rated Total Recall two stars.
It's hard to believe that the start of a new year is upon us. As we wind down 2013, it's a great time to reflect on the past year and look ahead to 2014. And that's what NOW! would like you to do.
If you are age 8 to 14, here's what you can do:
Cast albums make great stocking stuffers.
They're not only the right size to fit stockings, but their songs can generate comfort and
joy year round.
Even better, though, is when the cast album connects explicitly to the spirits of the season.
Cases in point:
A Christmas Story, Elf and
How the Grinch Stole Christmas - just a few of the classic movies that have inspired solid
Broadway musicals in recent seasons.
Want to catch a seasonal favorite flick outside of your living room? Look no further:
Jay Z had the most nominations, and his album appears on a number of year-end best-of lists, but the artist took a backseat to a couple virtual hip hop newcomers when the 56th annual Grammy Awards were announced yesterday.
While Shawn Carter (a.k.a. Jay Z) grabbed 9 nominations, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Kendrick Lamar gave him 99 problems by taking the high-profile nominations that didn't include the genre's icon. Jay Z's Magna Carta...Holy Grail was passed over for album of the year in favor of Kendrick Lamar's Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' The Heist. Both acts were also nominated for best new artist. Taylor Swift, Daft Punk and Sara Bareilles also were nominated in the category.
The major nominations included a record of the year nomination for Get Lucky by Daft Punk and Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke featuring T.I. & Pharrell, two songs blaring from car stereos all summer. The popular Royals by Lorde also was nominated.
Jay Z wasn't the only popular music mainstay to be passed over. While his only nod in a major award category came in the form of his appearance on Lamar's album, Justin Timberlake was nominated only in minor categories for best solo pop vocal performance (Mirrors) and best pop duo/group performance with (oddly enough) Jay Z.
Kanye West was also passed over in the major categories. A year after vocally expressing distaste for the ceremony, it is not yet known whether the mercurial artist will appear at the Grammys.

Britain: Islam Documentary Cancelled Amid Threats of Physical Violence
Send | Comment | RSS | Share: |
Islam is "a legitimate subject of historical inquiry. I think there's a degree to which Muslims, far more than Christians, have felt that the foundation myths of their religion are somehow historical fact, and it seems to me that they're clearly not." — Tom Holland, author, Islam: The Untold Story, cancelled by Channel 4, after threats.
The British television broadcaster Channel 4 has cancelled the screening of a controversial documentary about the history of Islam after the presenter was threatened with physical violence.
The private screening was due to take place at the broadcaster's headquarters in London on September 13 before an audience of historians and opinion shapers, to be followed by a debate.
"Islam: The Untold Story" is a documentary by historian Tom Holland, a well-known British author, who examines the origins of Islam and argues that there is little written historical evidence to verify truth-claims about the Muslim prophet Mohammed and the origins of Islam.
In the documentary, the Cambridge-educated historian offers a critical examination of the traditional Islamic narrative that the Koran, the Muslim holy book, was transmitted directly and "fully formed" to Mohammed through the angel Gabriel in the seventh century.
Holland says that contrary to Muslim claims, it is far more probable that the Koran and Islamic theology developed gradually over many centuries in conjunction with the expansion of Arab empires. He also says there are many "black holes" in the historical record and suggests that Islam is essentially a "made-up" religion. Says Holland: "I had expected to find contemporaneous Muslim evidence, but there's nothing there."
In the film, Holland also questions the centrality of Mecca in the origins of Islam. He states: "Aside from a single ambiguous mention in the Koran itself, there is no mention of [the Muslim holy city of] Mecca, not one, in any datable text for over a hundred years after Muhammad's death."
The documentary, which was previously aired on Channel 4 on August 28, has generated more than 1,000 complaints by Muslims who accuse Holland of distorting the history of Islam.
The London-based Islamic Education and Research Academy has published two papers (here and here) denouncing the program. It accuses Holland of "recklessness," of making "baseless assumptions" and of engaging in "selective scholarship."
The British telecommunications regulator, Ofcom, says it may launch an investigation after it received more than 100 complaints that the documentary is biased and offensive to Muslims.
Holland insists that Islam is "a legitimate subject of historical inquiry." Indeed, the documentary follows on the heels of a growing number of scholarly and popular books (here, here, here, here, here, here and here) that challenge some of the most fundamental assumptions about the origin of Islam.
In an interview about the origins of Islam with the London-based The Spectator, Holland states: "I think there's a degree to which Muslims, far more than Christians, have felt that the foundation myths of their religion are somehow historical fact, and it seems to me that they're clearly not. There must be a bedrock of fact, but it is more sacred history than it is history...." He also says: "There's a sense in which I think as Islam evolves and as, let's say, Muslims start to realize that they are in competition with Jews and Christians, they need to have their Prophet have a revelation from an angel...."
In any case, Holland's documentary has earned him an online flood of abusive messages. According to the British newspaper The Telegraph, one message reads: "You might be a target in the streets. You may recruit some bodyguards, for your own safety."
A spokesperson for Channel 4 said: "Having taken security advice, we have reluctantly canceled a planned screening of the program Islam: The Untold Story."
The dust-up follows a similar controversy over a new BBC comedy series called Citizen Khan, which confronts issues faced by a modern Muslim family.
The six-part series, which aired for the first time on BBC1 in August, was created by British Muslim Adil Ray, who also plays the lead role.
Following its first episode, the BBC received more than 600 complaints from Muslims who claim the program is guilty of "stereotypes about Asians" and is "disrespectful to the Koran." Some of the angry reactions have been compiled here.
Muslims were particularly angered by a scene where an actress who plays Khan's glamorous daughter rushes to put on a hijab and pretends to be reading the Koran when her father comes home.
According to the Union of Muslim Organizations of UK and Ireland, a London-based Muslim umbrella organization, "a large proportion of Muslims will be un-amused by the negative stereotypes because it leads to misrepresentation."
British Muslims are not, apparently, allowed to laugh at themselves.

France: Muslim Woman Sues Over Burqa Ban
by Soeren Kern
The law [banning the veil] also liberates women because the wearing of veils "is totally incompatible with the very idea of equality," according to Annie Sugier, head of the International League for Women's Rights.
"[H]er aim is not to annoy others but to feel at inner peace with herself." — Part of Court's summary of the case.
The court has deemed the case to so important that it has taken the unusual step of referring it to the Grand Chamber, the Court's highest chamber.
"Kerry's Plan to Invest $4 Billion in Palestinian Economy is Nonsense"
by Khaled Abu Toameh
The arrest of businessman Mohamed Al Sabawi is seen as part of a campaign by the Palestinian Authority to intimidate and extort money from prominent and wealthy businessmen who seek to help strengthen the Palestinian economy. The case of Al Sabawi will undoubtedly scare potential investors and convince them that investing in Ramallah and other Palestinian cities is a bad idea.
A Palestinian Authority security official said that the arrest was a "routine legal procedure" against an investor suspected of slander and obstructing the work of police officers.
Iran Deal: Was the West Skinned?
by Stephen Bryen and Shoshana Bryen
The administration's position is that the nuclear deal is separate from any other conversation with Iran including the fate of the Americans imprisoned there: retired FBI agent Robert Levinson, former U.S. Marine Amir Hekmati, and Iranian-American Pastor Saeed Abedini, who is currently housed in a "violent offenders" prison.
We get, essentially, nothing. But it is worse than that. Whatever the P5+1 believes it achieved pales in comparison to what the deal cost.
BBC Plugs Jihadi Charities
by Samuel Westrop
"Al Fatiha Global has a strict vetting policy ... We have certain people who actually go out and check people's social networking profiles, like Facebook and Twitter. If somebody has something on there which may seem a bit radical, then that's it, they're not accepted." — Kas Jameel, Aid Convoy Driver
Jameel, however, apparently forgot to vet his own social media postings.
Palestinians: We Want a Geneva Accord against Israel
by Khaled Abu Toameh
The Geneva accord and Washington's failed policies in Egypt and other Muslim countries have taught the Palestinians that it would be better to wait until the U.S. completely loses its influence so that other players such as Russia, China and the EU will step in and impose a solution on Israel.
The way the Palestinian Authority sees it, "If it worked with Iran, why shouldn't it work also with Israel?"

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed on Friday a rule to clean up gasoline. The new lower sulfur gas is already what California uses to reduce air pollution, and the EPA wants it to be used nationwide. The agency estimates that it would save lives while adding a penny a gallon to the cost of gas. The oil industry fears it will cost more.

Gulf venture to build $400m steel plant in Oman
Muscat, September 4, 2012
Three Gulf investors have formed a joint venture to build a $400 million steel plant in the southern Oman city of Salalah, a statement by the company said on Tuesday.
Dhofar Steel has been formed by a joint venture of Oman's Salalah Development Company, the Al Suwaidi Group of the UAE and Saudi Arabia's Al Tuwairqi Group to produce 1 million tonnes of steel annually, the statement said.
It said the company would create job opportunities for over 1,000 Omanis, but made no mention of when construction would take place and did not give other details. The Al Tuwairqi Group operates steel product plants in Saudi Arabia.
The venture will be Oman's second steel company, after a pelletising plant operated by Brazil's Vale in the northern industrial city of Sohar.
Demand for steel in Oman is growing for oil industry and infrastructure projects. The country currently produces an average 902,000 barrels per day of oil; its oil and gas minister said last year that it was aiming for production of 1 million bpd in the next three years.
Oman plans to build a 1,000 km (625 mile) railway at an estimated cost of around 5 billion rials ($13 billion), with completion in 2018. – Reuters

Intel and Lenovo just announced the world's first Intel-powered Android smartphone: the K800. It utilizes Intel's Medfield mobile platform, with what we assume is the Atom Z2460 1.6GHz processor. Intel and Lenovo claim that the new Medfield platform is a "no compromise" mobile processor in terms of performance and battery life, though no exact figures were quoted. It actually looks pretty similar to Intel's reference device, and will be available in China (no US availability announced) some time in Q2.
Happy New Year! A new year means it's time for the annual Android prediction post. First off though, a trip down memory lane with a look at Aaron's post from last year.
A Look Back To 2011
Way back in January 2011, we were all gobsmacked at the recent announcement of 300,000 Android activations per day. That looks cute now, doesn't it? A year later and it's more than doubled, now we're up to 700,000 per day.
Head Android honcho Andy Rubin made a cameo earlier today at Intel's Developer Forum to announce something we've all know was coming for a while now: Android support for Intel chips -- namely, the low-powered Atom processor.
Beginning next year, all versions of Android will come ready to run on Intel silicon from the core of the system up, and to show the progress that has already been made on that front, an Android-powered tablet and phone running on an Intel Medifield chip was displayed.
Remember last month when Intel CEO Paul Otellini said that they were actively working on porting Honeycomb to x86 processors with hopes of providing us with Intel powered Honeycomb tablets within the year? Well, it turns out that Acer may unveil the first tablet of the bunch at Computex this year: a 10.1 inch, Oak Trail sporting beast, according to Digitimes.
It's rumored that we could see this yet-unnamed tablet on the streets as early as July, but we'll just have to wait and see how that pans out.
There have been rumors for sometime now that chipset manufacturer Intel has been looking to get into the Android tablet market, and it turns out those rumors are indeed true. Intel President and CEO Paul Otellini stated that they have received the Honeycomb source code from Google and are actively working on porting it now, with hopes of making several Honeycomb-based tablets available this year.
The current lineup of top-notch Android tablets is fairly cookie-cutter in spec, so it's nice to see that a new platform is coming along to mix things up.
There's no doubt about it: tablets are getting more and more powerful. How powerful? If you ask Acer, they will soon have enough horsepower to gradually "phase out" netbooks.
The computer manufacturer told Computerworld that in the first half of 2011, it will begin selling two or three new Android tablets in the 7- to 10-inch range. While Acer didn't specify the price or Android version, the company did say something that's sure to get your Android-loving heart racing: the tablets will be "faster than laptops with Windows operating systems," and will use a quad-core Intel Sandy Bridge processor.
During NVIDIA's quarterly earnings call last week, CEO Jen-Hsun Huang announced that they would be focusing specifically on Android powered devices with the second generation of their Tegra chipset.
The Tegra platform is a S.O.C. or 'system-on-a-chip', which means that it integrates the CPU, GPU, northbridge, southbridge and memory controller onto a single chip. At the moment most Android handsets are using S.O.C's developed by Qualcomm – you may have been hearing a lot about the Snapdragon recently, which is one of Qualcomm's more popular chipsets.
Most, if not all, Android phones on the market run exclusively on an ARM architecture and Intel wants a piece of the action.
On Tuesday (that is today), Intel announced that it had ported Android to run on its Atom CPU line. Intel calls Atom its smallest chip, built with the world's smallest transistors. Atom is aimed at portable devices and consumes only 1-2.5W of power.
To make things even more interesting, Renee James, general manager of IDF (Intel Developer Forum) in Beijing, said the company has plans to port *all* mobile operating systems, not just Android, to run on Atom CPUs.

MSN Showing Meta Keywords in description
Posted 27 June 2005 - 05:31 PM
here is something really annoying. I've worked extremely hard on getting top rankings for "print server" (brooksnet.com) in MSN.
Well, we finally achieved the number one ranking out of tons and tons of competition. BUT... now they are listing our META Keywords as the description. What is also strange, we have another one (from brooksnet.com) a little below that and it lists it correctly.
The kicker, we use the same "make/install" program to build our pages and I just can't figure... any clues???
Posted 01 July 2005 - 11:10 AM
Very strange...
Posted 01 July 2005 - 12:31 PM
<added...I only use tables, frankinidaho, and don't have a problem with organic rankings. So, no worries here either about tables.>
Posted 04 July 2005 - 08:11 AM
Posted 04 July 2005 - 08:23 AM
I'm currently running one of my decidedly non-scientific tests on this. I created three pages involving the word "x amo nio id" (broken up here so that this page won't start ranking for it). One of the pages uses the word in the body, the meta description and the meta keywords, another uses it in just the keywords and on the page, and the third only uses it in the keyword tag.
If I search MSN for the word, the first two come up (even if I set my preferences to allow three pages from one domain) -- not the one with it only in the meta keywords.
So based on that, and I know that's not much, it may be that it needs to be on the page, but they may use the content of the meta tags in the snippet.
Posted 06 July 2005 - 08:38 AM
An MSN search on my magic word still brings up the two pages containing the word on the page and not the one with it only in the meta keywords tag, while using the content of the keywords tag in the snippet.
However, on a Yahoo search only one page comes up: the one with the word in the keywords tag only! The snippet they're displaying is the meta description: "This time the magic word is only in the meta keywords tag."
I think they may be intentionally messing with me
Posted 06 July 2005 - 08:51 AM
This is all very interesting!

<meta description /> <meta keywords /> for snippet
(Although when you hit this page you have the *Peekaboo* css bug so you cannot read the copy on the page as a user.)
<meta description /> <meta keywords /> for snippet
(Same Peekaboo bug.)
Google - nothing.
I guess I will going and adding meta tags to all my pages again.
Thanks for sharing this test!
Posted 06 July 2005 - 12:12 PM
Anyway, the onpage text isn't important. It's a paragraph from the manifesto of Esperanto, and on two of the pages I threw the keyword in at a random spot.
Posted 06 July 2005 - 12:25 PM
I am using IE 6.0. That is the only browser that I am aware of that has the bug. [http://www.positioni.../peekaboo.html] Will explain it. I am not allowed to put links in my posts as I am still too new! Basically, the text will not display to the user. The browser will allocate the space and the text is there, it is just invisible. To make it even weirder, you can highlight and select the text, then it becomes visible.
I *think* that I have fixed this issue by defining a width on the containing HTML element.
I realize that it is not important in this case, I just thought I would be kind and notify you of a potential issue, BEFORE it ever became a problem. But everyone exhaustively QA's every page on their site right?
Posted 06 July 2005 - 12:43 PM
Thanks for pointing it out.
