It's approaching that time of year that my children are forbidden to mention until December the 14th.
That also means a lot of bloggers are looking at ways to earn a quick buck from their blog, whilst providing the utmost value at the same time.
One of the things that you might consider is advertising on your blog.
Types of blog advertising:
- Ad Networks such as Social Spark and Ebuzzing.
- Sponsored posts
- Affiliate ads
- Skimlinks and Chitika
- Google Adsense
- Advertise your own products
There are others, but these are the main ones I'll touch upon in this post today.
Ad Networks are an interesting way of meeting advertisers in the loosest sense – most are like dating sites.
There will be a publishers section where you join up and add your blog's details and advertisers will get in touch if they like the cut of your jib. Yes, I've been watching too much Blackadder again .
Pretty much all advertisers like to know a few things about you – how much traffic is usually the first thing, followed by how many Twitter followers and Facebook fans.
Some like to know where they will be placed on your blog and others can be very specific about where they would like to be placed. Most advertisers pay the Ad Network direct and you are paid by the Ad Network.
Sometimes you might not see any money for 60 days, other times you may have to trip a payment threshold.
Some Ad Networks are better than others, so try a few out and see which ones you like best. Try out their support, their responses and examine their community. Stay where you feel the most comfortable.
Sponsored posts
Sponsored posts are an interesting one for bloggers, they can come from out of the blue by email or through a third party site such as SponsoredReviews.com . The prices offered for sponsored posts vary from $5 (I laugh at this point) to $200 (that's more like it! but these are rare).
The average we get per sponsored post on Birds on the Blog is £75 / $US 100. The links are no-follow and all the posts are declared sponsored posts. If you are contacted direct for a sponsored post, you can usually have the money paid into your bank account or Paypal account straight away.
Advertising direct
Some advertisers will contact you directly and then there will be at least 5 emails, a small bit of swearing and a fair bit of haggling. Or you can go and chase a few advertisers yourself. Some advertisers will come through SEO companies (see sponsored posts) and others will come via PR companies.
We work with a few PR companies that have products related to our niche, and it's always good to hear from them how their blogger outreach is going, it gives me the opportunity to recommend other sites.
I know a lot of bloggers hate list posts of who people think are great bloggers but some PR companies love them; it makes it easier to reach out to bloggers in certain niches. Advertisers also like them and it makes their life easier.
Next time you curse seeing one of these lists, remember, it helps put bloggers under the nose of people who can help them earn money. I create one once a year with all the wonderful women bloggers, and I have an inbox full of thank-yous from PR people for the next week.
Sometimes I get them from the bloggers on the list
Affiliate ads
When you see ads in the sidebar and/or header of a lot of blogs, they're usually affiliate ads (although the FBBB WordPress 30 day course is our own). You only get paid upon purchase of the product, so you are creating a lot of "brand awareness" for free when you advertise this way. The payouts tend to be quicker when compared to an Ad Network.
Affiliate ads tend to convert better when the products are related to the content on the blog. If you are a food blogger and you promote website hosting you may not get many conversions, but if you promoted a recipe book or cooking equipment then you would earn more.
Skimlinks and Chitika
These are ways of monetizing your existing content. Links are inserted into your existing content and if someone clicks through and buys you get paid. This can be an interesting way of monetizing your content.
We're currently trying this out on Birds on the Blog and I'll let you know how it goes in a few months. Sometimes these ads are links, and sometimes they are pop up images. Both Skimlinks and Chitika offer great support to help you make the post of their service.
Google Adsense
We all know this one…. It's the one that some bloggers plaster all over their site and hope to get rich in their sleep by using. For some bloggers Google Adsense is a great thing. We have one Google Adsense block on Birds, and for all our traffic we've yet to make a minimum payment this year, I must try harder.
You can also add Adsense to your RSS feed and under posts as well as sidebars. It works best when fully integrated into your site, but sometimes that feels like a full time job.
If in doubt, stick to simple image only ads in your sidebar. And no, you won't be paid in time for the C word, but you might get the money in January .
Finally, advertise your own products
Why bother advertising someone else's products and earning pennies when you can advertise your own products and make more?
Look over your stats and see what are your most traffic'd posts. Is it worth inserting a call to action to buy a related product that you've created? Is it worth adding adverts for your own products to your autoresponder? Try it and see. If it works, fabulous and if it doesn't at least you've tried.
Over to you, what do you do to earn more on your blog at that certain time of year?

The cream is light, and quickly absorbed, non greasy and does a great job of keeping my hands soft and supple. I keep a tube in my desk drawer and the bright pink flamingo packaging cheers me up on a grey autumn day. As with all Figs & Rouge products this is 100% organic with no petrochemicals - just scrummy natural oils and other goodies that your skin will LOVE.
Ceris, Wales
Great price for such a little luxury.
I was looking for a hand cream that absorbs properly- ie. it doesn't leave hands feeling sticky / greasy. Also it smells lovely and is value for money when considering the cost of other brands.

Oct 2nd, 2011 will mark the start of a three day gathering of global stakeholders focused on marketing products that incorporate micro and nano technology (MNT). Companies and individuals who define the leading edge of MNT will converge on Lake Louise in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. The WAVE Conference and Exhibition will feature presentations by 125 exhibitors who will demonstrate their technology to an international audience of MNT product stakeholders. For example, in the health and medical market, many products from point of care devices to targeted therapies are using micro and nano technology for the products today and in the future, in conventional energy and clean technology, sensors are used in a wide variety of applications, in many new consumer and commercial applications gyros and accelerometers enable the devices to be smarter and more interactive. The vision of this three day event is to bring together those who form the value chain from materials supply through end product, including manufacturers, distributors and sales representatives, materials suppliers, equipment suppliers and investors.
The event will bring a global perspective to five primary market areas in five dedicated pavilions:
The WAVE 2011 Conference and Exhibition venue is the beautiful Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise set in the magnificent Canadian Rocky Mountains, which will provide a spectacular and inspiring backdrop for the event.
The WAVE format will give attendees the opportunity to interact directly and network with international corporations leading in new technologies. The design and layout of the WAVE 2011 Conference and Exhibition incorporates presentation areas into the exhibit areas, enabling 25 exhibitors in each pavilion to present to a fully focused audience.
Four keynote speakers will provide insight through their own experiences and success in these new growth industries. Their stories will outline the key steps and considerations in taking products from concept to commercial breakthrough.
We look forward to welcoming you to the WAVE 2011 Conference and Exhibition.

- Guantanamo Jumpsuit Detainees; Source: Truthout.org
Adnan Latif was brought to Guantanamo in 2002 after he was arrested near the borders of Afghanistan and Pakistan. He was accused of training with the Taliban but had never been charged. In 2010, a Federal District Court ordered him to be released but the ruling was overturned by the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in 2011.
According to his lawyer and court records, Latif repeatedly went on hunger strike, attempted suicide several times, received mental health treatment at the detainee hospital and spent time in the disciplinary lockup for throwing bodily fluids on guards.
His classified assessment file was published by Wikileaks and shows that the military recommended his release twice (2006 and 2008) but neither the Bush nor the Obama administration were willing to repatriate him to Yemen. In June this year, the Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal in Latifs case without giving explanatory comments.
Latifs death reduces the inmate population to 167 who remain at the facility despite promises by President Obama to close Guantanamo.

For decades consumers have been bombarded with advertisements stating that sunscreen is the only way to combat the sun's powerful and damaging rays. Recently, however, the FDA has released documents stating that the vitamin A in
many popular brands of sunscreen can accelerate the development of skin tumors and lesions. And that's only one of the negative implications of sunscreen!
Millions of people have been slathering sunscreen on themselves, and their children, without knowing the truth—scary isn't it?
A recent investigation by the Environmental Working Group, declared that 4 out of every 5 brands of sunscreens do not adequately protect consumers from the sun. North America's most popular brands—Coppertone, Neutrogena, and Banana Boat—have been rated as some of the poorest performers! Moreover, many of these sun lotions contain harmful chemicals—chemicals which may cause liver or kidney damage and reduce fertility. Remember, not all of the synthetic chemicals in sunscreen are harmful. There are a few, however, that you should steer clear from. These include:
· Diethylphthaltate
· 4-Methyl-Benzylindencamphor
· Oxybenzone
· Cotyl-Methoxy-Cinnamates (OMC)
· Octyl-Dimethyl-Para-Amino-Benzoic Acid (OD-PABA)
· Homosalate (HMS)
· Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)
While studies have deemed the above ingredients as harmful, the FDA believes them to be "generally regarded as safe and effective". That being said, the FDA has not altered sunscreen guidelines since 1978—Yikes!
Absorbing hazardous chemicals is not the only thing you should be worried about when wearing sunscreen. In fact, studies have proven that sunscreen inhibits our body's ability to produce Vitamin D by more than 95%! Vitamin D is vital in helping us build stronger bones, reducing aging effects, and improving our general health. And though Vitamin D tablets are available, the best way to get Vitamin D is by exposing ourselves to the sun. That being
said, we must still remain cautious, for the sun is powerful and can indeed harm us.
Tips and Tricks to Avoid Getting Burnt and Protecting Yourself from Skin Cancer
It is important to avoid burning—sun burns are what cause skin cancers and so on, not sun exposure.
- To avoid being burnt, limit your sun exposure to ten minutes a day. Gradually increase your time spent in the sun as the summer season continues—in a few weeks you will be able to have normal sun exposure without risk of a burn or cancer.
- The sun's rays are most harmful from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. during this time it is best to avoid sun exposure—stay in doors or in a shaded area.
- If you absolutely have to be outside during these times, wear lightweight long sleeved clothing and a hat.
- In 2001, the National Academy of Sciences published a comprehensive review showing that the omega 6:3 ratio was the key to preventing skin cancer development. To lessen your chance of getting skin cancer incorporate more Omega-3s into your diet as our North American diets are already high in Omega-6s.
- Use a natural sunscreen like Dr. Mercola's Natural Sunscreen with Green Tea! Dr. Mercola's sunscreen does not block Vitamin D absorption like other sunscreens, nor does it contain any chemicals, making it safe and effective!

In addition to an FM radio and a line-in connection (duh), the Asteroid also includes USB connectivity, an SD card slot, music on demand, and voice activated music search. There's also hands-free calling over Bluetooth, contact voice recognition, and automatic phonebook sync — all controlled using a built-in jog wheel or your voice, and displayed on a 3.2-inch LCD. The device connects to the web using your smartphone's WiFi hotspot feature, or by attaching a USB 3G dongle. Asteroid's built-in Maps app and external GPS antenna will be ready to help you navigate the highway for $349 beginning in October, but jump past the break for a peek at the receiver's red-light-cam-spotting iCoyote app in the meantime.

Creative new IP that isn't another gray/brown action game.
Lower price of $40
Release it around the same time as GTAV and give it no advertising.
Way to go Sony.
this is why im getting a PS4, only sony bets on this kinda weird and artistic but amazing games. just keep them coming on the next gen
I'd like to demo it before considering a purchase, but either way I'll be keeping a look out for a discount or rental.
How can you make this editors choice when GTAV is coming out? That means u'll prolly review it when the MP comes out around the first of october.
This game is GREAT check out this three part preview!
Puppeteer - PINOCCHIO GONE WILD! - Part 1 of 3
http:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSdmos17cEsPops sorry and real fast castal of illusions anyone recommend it again. For a Disney fan and my 11yo. ...thanks sorry
Glad you flu saga,e similar to Mario GaLaxy 3 months before the PS 4 is released. And thinking on it why not have both systems. Anywho. I love the grafix, I love the LBP kid friendly theme. Its gonna be nice to play co-op with my 11 yr old. Shoot only another yr or so before he whoops me in video games uGH too old.....I will admit that lil babaluck already has my number in NBA JAMS. I can not beat him. But yea puppeteer perfect timing for me to have a tilte to play co-op till the PS4. (And when I start blaming the conrtoller ;)
PTW. USPS3ID: DEL_i2i. Add me I'm online with all ea sports BF2, BF3, DCUO LAST OF US ANd w/e the ps+ has out for online ......add me to compete and have fun...over 17 yr pl
Finally a game that will satisfy my need for a Super Mario Galaxy on PS3. It looks very original, it seems platform games will never go out of date. Hurray to little big planet, Rayman and now puppeteer. These games are the ones that keep me young!!!
The art style is amazing. I love the wooden puppet motif they have going on. I'm pretty sure I'll be adding this to my collection soon.
It's good to see more AAA side-scrollers(Rayman Legends and this one), and people with unique opion such as Tom Mcshea, Mark Walton work at Gamespot, ever though the former sometimes pisses me off with his shooter-trolling comments(the ones against modern military games not included, I'm sick of that sub-genre too, despite the fact that I used to love it).
reminds me of klonoa, a quirky platformer, I miss that game but I'm definitely getting this one!
I'll admit I never paid attention to this game's previews but it sounds like a damn good game.....
Great review! Glad I preordered it ;)
Can't wait to jump in and play- the art style and animations look really incredible
Dammit. I will not have the money to buy it this month.
I hereby solely swear to buy this with Beyond: Two Souls next month! NO kidding.
so many good games coming out the next few weeks and months...rayman legends, puppeteer, gtav, beyond,...i think i stick a little longer with my ps3 and buy a ps4 next year.
@Warlord_Irochi @SKY-AMR Well in my case I have to admit that their reviews affect my game choice sometimes....:/
@ARKphoenix2k it IS better than rayman deal with it
jsut because rayman is way longer to the industry doesnt mean any same type of genre cant be better.
i played the last rayman and i played and bought puppet and it is MILES better than rayman kkthxbb
@fedetaco @Warlord_Irochi @SKY-AMR It's just a number, man. I generally check more than 1 review just to be sure. :)

Despite rapid economic growth in some African countries in recent years, no government across the continent can rightfully claim that all its citizens have access to enough affordable, nutritious food to meet their dietary needs.
From our top partner AllAfrica
This sober message, published in the United Nations Development Programme's (UNDP) Africa Human Development Report 2012 released today, includes a warning that unless the continent eliminates the hunger that affects almost one in four Africans, it cannot sustain its present economic resurgence.
Entitled, "Towards a Food Secure Future", the UNDP'S first-ever Africa report says that with a population projected to exceed two billion people sometime after 2050, sub-Saharan Africa will need "to produce substantially more food, while mitigating the stresses which agricultural production places on the environment".

EEO Report
Tim Hart
Tim Hart
English folksinger and multi-instrumentalist Tim Hart was born in Lincoln, a county town of Lincolnshire, England, on January 9, 1948. The son of a vicar, Hart was best known for his work with groundbreaking British folk-rock outfit Steeleye Span, of which he was a founding member. He began his musical career in the early '60s playing in a band called the Rattfinks while attending St. Albans School (also home to the Zombies). In 1966 he began touring English pubs and folk clubs with vocalist Maddy Prior. The two released a pair of well-received albums (Folk Songs of Olde England, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2) before joining Steeleye Span in 1969. The band, formed by Prior, Hart, and ex-Fairport Convention bassist Ashley Hutchings, and rounded out by husband-and-wife team Gay and Terry Woods, released its critically acclaimed debut album, Hark! The Village Wait, in 1970. Steeleye Span saw more than a few members come and go throughout its long tenure (still touring as of 2010), but Hart and Prior served as the ensemble�s backbone through 1982 -- the pair managed one more release as a duo, 1971�s lush Summer Solstice, which featured string arrangements from famed arranger Robert Kirby. As a solo artist, Hart released an eponymous record in 1979 with help from a handful of Steeleye members, as well as a pair of nursery rhyme collections in 1981. Health problems led to a 1988 move to warmer climates, specifically the island of La Gomera, part of Spain�s Canary Islands, where he began focusing on family, writing, and photography. In 2008 he was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. He passed away in his island home the following year on Christmas Eve. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi

UPDATE: THE boss of Orbost Regional Health, in Victoria, has resigned after her past including her qualifications were questioned.
Andrew Martin, of Orbost Regional Health, has confirmed Ashton Foley had offered her resignation, and it had been accepted by the board.
The move comes as speculation mounts police will called in to investigate the credentials of Ms Foley who was the whistleblower at the centre of corruption allegations against a West Australian regional hospital.
Late last year, the WA government ordered an independent inquiry into allegations of fraud and corruption at the privately run Peel Health Campus near Mandurah, south of Perth, which had been dogged by a string of accusations.
Operator Health Solutions WA repaid almost $1.8 million to the state's Health Department after allegations doctors were being paid cash bonuses for admitting patients.
Ms Foley made a series of explosive allegations to a parliamentary committee, which praised her for putting "the interests of the people of Western Australia above those of her own".
But in a bizarre twist, Ms Foley was forced to admit she had been arrested and jailed in the United States in 2008 over fraud and identity theft charges.
Neale Fong, the current Peel Health Campus chief executive, said the hospital now wanted criminal investigations launched into Ms Foley's qualification claims, which she made to both the parliament and her former employers.
Mr Fong said Ms Foley's claim of a doctorate from the New York Stern School of Business was false, as the school could find no records of her.
"Quite frankly we have been shocked at what has been unearthed. It was not a deliberate attempt to try and go and find material on Ms Foley. It kept coming out and will keep coming out," Mr Fong said.
"It is a serious offence to lie to a parliamentary committee. That is a matter for the parliament and the police to get involved in.
"We will be reporting this to the police, because she was employed at the Peel Health Campus under the misunderstanding she had these qualifications. It is a very serious issue when employers are lied to."
Records in the US show Ms Foley, under the name of Michelle Marie Foley, has an outstanding bench warrant in Georgia over charges of theft and identity fraud.
Ms Foley was this week due to give evidence to the WA government's Peel Health Campus inquiry, headed by former chief medical officer Bryant Stokes.
Mr Fong, the former director-general of WA's Department of Health, said the validity of the whole inquiry should now be questioned.
"We don't know what her motivation is other than she wanted to big-note herself and cause trouble," Mr Fong told Fairfax radio.
"One person has brought a lot of damage to the company, to the community and the hospital.
"Our company would be aghast if the testimony of a woman who will continue to be identified as having a 20-year history of deception and lies and causing havoc with companies (is used) ... we would be very disappointed and angry if this person's testimony is utilised."
The details of Ms Foley's charges have been passed on to WA's Public Sector Commissioner Mal Wauchope for investigation.

Are social networks really free of charge?
Social networks are live free TV, they make revenue mostly from placing advertising , however although it was never confirmed but social networks (including Facebook ) are often accused for sharing user's data including private information and behaviors with a third party .
In fact Facebook may earn from placing advertising up to 10$ for each page view. (it Depends on the current bidding price).
Why we think that Facebook is breaking down!?
Facebook was launched in 2004 currently has more than 901,000,000 registered users, however Facebook was easily followed by Twitter launched in 2006 , that has more than 300,000,000+, and Google plus launched in late 2011 , that has more than 170,000,000 registered users.
What makes Twitter and Google Plus a threat to Facebook !?
Twitter vs Facebook!
When it comes to twitter, it's a much more simpler social network than Facebook, what makes twitter more popular with days!?
- It's widely popular between celebrities/politicians who personally tweet to their followers and interact with them.
- Doesn't have a friend limits (Facebook limits friends to 5000).
- Twitter even allows you to connect with the world throughout the trending topics , or even by replying to any account without even going through the pain of requesting a friendship and ending up reported .
- Fewer ads.
Google+ vs Facebook
Due to the popularity of Google and its products , Google's social network "Google plus " was able to reach in almost 10 months ,what took Facebook years to reach .Even though Google plus is still behind Facebook ,it will eventually become much more popular than Facebook because :
- Although Facebook might be the most popular social network, google.com is still the most popular site on the planet , and is still getting much more traffic than Facebook , allowing Google to advertise more for its social network .
- Google is still the biggest advertising network on the web , with Google's Adsense/Adwords
- Google plus offers new features such as Virtual Meetings.
- More secure!! with Google's new SECURITY OPTION , which if activated will send you an activation number to your mobile on every login from a new computer .So simply new computers needs to be verified before they access your Google+ account thought an sms .
- Enhanced privacy, uploading and experience.
The things users don't like about Facebook?
- Every Facebook page is always filled with ads.
- Privacy settings are complicated.
- Not secured, the login process is still unsecured compared to the feature Google has.
- You're only connected to the friends that approve to add you, while on twitter and Google+ you can communicate with all the profiles.
- A friend limit of 5000.
- Facebook pages are not as interactive as they should be , they're almost about press releases ; page owners shares updates without even interacting with the fans, simply because Facebook lacks this feature.
- The new timeline which exposes the details of your life to your friends by date and details
With over 900 million registered users, Facebook is still on the edge of breaking down; Facebook is expected to breakdown over the next few years, because of its strong competitors Google Plus and Twitter.

The U.S. Supreme Court is considering a case today on whether Pleasant Grove City, Utah, violated free speech rights and the Establishment Clause of the Constitution. The city allowed a national group to place a Ten Commandments display in a city park but then denied another religious group from placing its own historical display. The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver ruled that the city was free to ban all displays if it wanted to, but that once it decided to allow the Ten Commandments it had no right to bar the other display.

Since Vista, the "Timeout Detection and Recovery" (TDR) components of the OS video subsystem have been capable of doing some truly impressive things to try to recover from issues which would have caused earlier OSs like XP to crash. As a last resort, the TDR subsystem sends the video driver a "please restart yourself now!" command and waits a few seconds. If there's no response, the OS concludes that the video driver/hardware combo has truly collapsed in a heap, and it fires off that stop 0x116 BSOD. If playing with video driver versions hasn't helped, make sure the box is not overheating. Try removing a side panel and aiming a big mains fan straight at the motherboard and GPU. Run it like that for a few hours or days - long enough to ascertain whether cooler temperatures make a difference. If so, it might be as simple as dust buildup and subsequently inadequate cooling.

Looks great Pinder. The G-star pants are awesome but so hard to find.
Looks great Pinder. The G-star pants are awesome but so hard to find.
Another reason I feel the boots were Mocha Bisques except for the Season 1 promo pics, seen here.
Although this pic leads me to believe the laces were borrowed from the Military Green Cassidys.
There are real pics of the now discontinued Seal Brown.
I have a couple of good studio shots that show Dexter's boots from season 1 and season 5 that I shrunk down and to be honest, neither look like seal brown to me.
Wow, those don't look seal brown at all. Well, maybe if I try hard enough the ugly yellow color can grow on me.
Sorry, I'm a little late on the boot talk. So the color is Mocha Bisque then?
Looks like it, but I'm sure the ones in the crouching publicity still were seal brown.
I normally wear a size 10 in shoes, I'm almost afraid to order a pair of boots because i'm not sure which size to order.
Go 9.5. I wear an 11.5 and fit into a 12 without discomfort and sliding around and the Diesel 11 fit me perfectly. I've owned a LOT of shoes (probably more than a guy should, haha) and I can say these fit a half size small compared to the average shoe. (Aldens, Adidas, and lots of different boot makers)
Thanks for the advice, now I just need to find a site that will ship to Canada.
I had to exchange my 12's (my normal size) for 11's.
Nice job Pinder and Risu on some very complete outfits...
I ended up getting Cassidy boots from bloomingdales of all places... Grey 11, fit is awesome, love the ortho and for $137 I don't mind doing my own coloring.

Not sure if anyone is interested in a pair of sunglasses Dexter wears in season 3 but I accidentally came across a site that ID'd them as Ferragamo 1098 Sunglasses.
Celebrity Sunglasses #4: Michael C. Hall (Dexter Morgan) | SelectSpecs Glasses Blog
I think he wears those in Season 1 as well... unless I'm going crazy. LOL
I like them, but I like my Burn Notice Oliver Peoples better. Can't justify spending so much on sunglasses only to buy another pair that will cut into the first pair's "wear time".
Decided to color my boot while distressing customer jackets needing similar colors this weekend...
Well done! You know your way around leather, that's for sure.
Damn, those finished costumes are SO awesome! Good job guys.
1/6 Scale ACI Moda Series ACI-736 Military Shirt Set - eBay (item 370483669463 end time May-12-11 10:41:24 PDT)
A member on Sideshow Freaks found the perfect reproduction of the 511 pants for a 1/6 scale Dexter figure. I picked up a pair for my second 1/6 Dexter.
Those are sweet! Trying to resist the urge to get a 1/6 Dex is getting harder...
Unpainted, $38 shipped. Help?
It's a new Dexter head by Trevor Something. email@example.com if you want one Pinder.
That's 1/6th scale, isn't it? Because if it was full sized, it would be the second scariest/most affordable head for my duct tape mannequin I've seen.
Yessir, it's 1/6 scale. I'm getting another head and figure to go with my other one. Not sure what type of display yet.

What is CURRI?
The Cisco Unified Routing Rules Interface (CURRI) is a XML/HTTP based interface that enables applications to instruct Unified CM how calls should be routed based on business rules, compliance policies, and User preferences.
Each time a call is placed or received matching a specific number or a wildcard pattern, Unified CM asks the application server for instructions. The application responds with a Decision and (optional) Obligation. Decisions are either Permit or Deny. Obligations enable the application to modify call treatment: Divert to voicemail, Display "From Joe Blog" as the modified Calling Party Name, etc.
Examples of Routing Rule applications:
- Presence Status - Send calls to voicemail when I'm "In a WebEx Meeting"
- Delegate(s) – Send calls to my Exchange delegate when my Calendar shows "Out-Of-Office"
- Location Data - Ring the security officer phone closest to this location
- Allow/Block – Permit or Deny calls based on custom lists
- Least Cost Routing – Apply custom formulas to optimize trunk usage
- CRM - Select the right resource based on Customer data
- Play Announcements – "Thank you for calling, please wait a moment"; "International calls are not allowed from this phone"
How can I integrate CURRI into my enterprise?
CURRI can be integrated through a Route Server to other servers and appliances, to meet your enterprise needs.

Two Chukchansi leaders, each claiming to be the rightful chairperson of the Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians, remain at odds this week, with each raising concerns about how the tribe's money is being handled.
Reggie Lewis' tribal council maintains control of the tribe's bank accounts, and Nancy Ayala's tribal council has maintained control of security and management at Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino, along with many members of the tribal gaming commission -- although Lewis' council said many of these individuals, including Ayala, were suspended by a quorum of the tribal council last month, and should not be conducting business on behalf of the tribe.
Recent allegations
Lewis' group has alleged that casino cash is being mismanaged under the direction of Ayala.
The alleged mismanagement includes: hoarding casino cash in casino cages instead of depositing it into the financial institution that maintains the tribe's deposit control accounts -- mandated by agreements the tribe has with its casino bondholders; opening a new account with a small Fresno area bank to deposit cash, which is not authorized by tribal agreements in place; and suing the tribe's depository bank in a "kangaroo tribal court created overnight," stated a recent letter from Lewis to tribal members.
"Thank goodness they don't have the authority to bring such a lawsuit because they would have created a bad act under our indenture (with the casino's bondholders) and the tribe would lose all of its government funding as a result ($1 million a month from casino profits)," said Rob Rosette of Rosette Attorneys at Law, the firm representing the council led by Lewis.
A $17,000 check to Ayala's attorney was also illegally cashed at the casino because the banks that hold the tribe's accounts do not allow Ayala to access the tribal funds, said Richard Verri, lawyer with Rosette Attorneys at Law.
"The legal issues created by the Ayala faction over the past week now go far beyond the issue of who the leadership is of the tribe," Rosette said. "The Ayala faction's actions demonstrate a complete and blatant disregard for the tribe's obligations to its bondholders and other partners, as well as state and federal laws ...
"The Ayala faction doesn't have legitimate access to money or cash, so that's why they have set up a system to hoard cash at the casino cage, and then use that cash to pay all the bills, so she's (Ayala) in a huge 'Catch 22.'"
Ayala's group did not respond Tuesday to questions about these allegations.
During a press conference with Ayala last week, Dyann Eckstein -- chairwoman of the Tribal Gaming Commission who was suspended by the Lewis council but is recognized by Ayala's council -- said the commission is investigating Lewis and Alberta regarding their dealings with Chukchansi Inc.
"The commission also has an open investigation into some of the financial issues with casino's vendors including, Chukchansi Inc., and Chance Alberta and Reggie Lewis are part of our investigation and we are looking into possible violations of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, tribal-state compact, and the tribal gaming ordinance," said Eckstein last week. "And because it's an ongoing investigation, I can not comment on any of that at this time."
"I heard they are demanding investigations of the tribal council," Rosette said in response. "However, the tribal council is agreeing to any and all investigations. The legitimate tribal council has nothing to hide. The Ayala faction is simply making any accusation they can to try and show some semblance of credibility."
The leadership split
The catalyst of the leadership split occurred during a tribal business meeting Feb. 21 -- when a petition was brought forth, signed by as many as 24 tribal members, calling for a new tribal council, on grounds that only 46 members of the tribe were found to be legally enrolled with complete tribal files.
The petition, supported by Ayala, called for ousting six of the seven tribal council members, including those that were elected by about 750 Chukchansi people in December.
The new council announced in the petition was made up of Wyatt/Ramirez family members, including the previously-elected Ayala.
Since then, Ayala's council has changed its makeup several times. During a press conference last week, Ayala announced her council was no longer made up of Wyatt/Ramirez members.
Ayala said her council is now comprised of herself, Charles Sargosa, and Karen Wynn and Tracey Brechbuehl -- who were both suspended by tribal council in January, pending an investigation regarding financial "improprieties."
Lawyer Verri said Ayala did not have the authority to bring back the suspended Wynn and Brechbuehl. According to the tribe's laws, that could only have occurred after their investigation was complete, and only if a majority of the acting tribal council vote to bring them back during their suspension hearings, Verri said.
"Nancy Ayala was suspended for her illegal actions," wrote Lewis in a recent letter to tribal members. "When her coup to take over the tribe failed, Nancy Ayala immediately brokered deals with other suspended and former tribal council members to lift each other's suspensions and give each other's family members jobs. The bondholders and banks doing business with the tribe recognized that Nancy Ayala's tribal council was illegal and recognized the tribal council consisting of only the following active members: Reggie Lewis, Carl Bushman, Charles Sargosa and Chance Alberta."
Although Sargosa has chosen not to conduct business as a tribal council member with the Lewis council, he is legally still considered a tribal council member because he has not resigned and is not suspended, Verri said.
"I understand that a lot of misrepresentation and disinformation has gone out to our tribal membership, to different various agencies of the government, including the BIA and NIGC," said Ayala in last week's press conference. "These are all false allegations, and what I consider smoke and mirrors, which is confusing a lot of issues surrounding the governance of this tribe."
"The Ayala faction is not acting rationally or on behalf of the tribe," said lawyer Rosette. "They are just pulling every trick they have to exert leverage."

The department of visual studies unites several major aspects of art and visual culture: studio art, the history of art, and the theory of visual images.
Visual Studies offers degree programs in art(ART), art history (AHI) as well as courses in visual studies (VS).
The department of visual studies art history program is committed to exploring the visual arts (painting, sculpture, performance art, graphic arts, architecture, photography, and decorative arts) and what they reveal about culture. The art history faculty uses a diverse range of methodological approaches, to help students attain the necessary tools and knowledge to understand our visual world. Courses encompass the world's major geographic areas, and specific interests in social history, gender and race, post-colonialism, problems of taste and patronage, and myth and narrative. An art history major is ideal for students who wish to pursue a career in the arts, but it is equally valuable for those seeking to develop visual, analytical, and communication skills. Recent graduates have gone on to work in museums and art galleries, enroll in a variety of humanities graduate programs, and pursue careers in law, government, and business.

Happy shopping
Actually I can open a sina email account for you but for some reasons "Luanee" is a bad word according to sina and therefore can't be used to open an account, LOL. I think you can try to register the account yourself (last time Junesrain had trouble of registering one herself). If you can't open it you can give me any email account and I can use it to open one for you. Once an account is opened, you need to activate it on your side for it to work.

Solstice Festival and Parade Opens Summer with a 'Fantastic' Spectacle
Hundreds of songs are written depicting the long, excitement-filled days of summer, but only one festival celebrates the season to the fullest: the Solstice Festival. Three days full of vibrant floats, colorful costumes and artistic celebration, the Solstice Festival combines the best of summer with the culture-conscious community of Santa Barbara.
This year's Solstice Festival plays to the imagination and dreams that these hotter months conjure up with the theme "Fantasy". With several artists developing their own interpretations, this year's theme will provide versatile and innovative floats and features. The artist in residence Pali Ex-Mano uses the ocean as his float's inspiration, playing off the idea of "Fantasea", creating a large sea anemone housing many underwater creatures.
Other float interpretations include a dragon made of scales hand drawn by various community members (Stacie Bouffard's 'Pass the Hat' Float), a childhood memory-inspired float (Laura Smith and Citrix), a rocket ship with wings (Geoffrey Barber), and a huge "Birds of a Feather" bird cage (Ann Chevrefils). Executive Festival Director Claudia Bratton will also be fashioning a float—a menagerie of sea creatures, mermaids and men, sea wenches and pirates.
Along with the whimsical theme brewing excitement among locals, another feature of this year's festival is the parade's new workshop space. Located at 515 Garden Street, this temporary space acts as a large brainstorming arena, full of tents and the festival's mask and costume departments.
While "Fantasy" is the soul behind the festival, "nostalgia" also plays an important role in each Summer Solstice Festival. All of the artworks from last year's parade will be on display for the duration of the festival, allowing visitors who missed last year's celebration (or who just want to relive the excitement and vivacity that occurred a year ago) to experience the old works anew.
One thing is for certain: this year's "Fantasy" theme will bring together Santa Barbarans of all ages, looking for a little imagination to brighten their summer spirits.
The 2012 Summer Solstice Festival and Parade will take place from June 22-24. For more information on the Summer Solstice Festival, please click here.

In Brief: No funding, more worms in Mali – large scale project is necessary
Posted by African Press International on May 8, 2009
Photo: CDC |
Image of worm causing schistosomiasis |
DAKAR,� – After a donor-funded national schistosomiasis control programme in Mali ended in 1992, the organ-destroying worm disease that affects about 200 million people worldwide (World Health Organization) rebounded within 12 years, according to a recently published medical study.�
The disease can damage the�bladder, ureters, kidneys, liver, spleen and�intestines.
Even though endemic communities in Mali received intensive treatment and health education on schistosomiasis from 1982-1992, the infection was still as widespread nationwide in 2004 as earlier decades, according to researchers.
Despite the 10-year programme, study leader Archie Clements from Australia�s The University of Queensland said control needs to be delivered even longer � �over a very long time period� � to have a lasting impact.
Since Malian government funding for schistosomiasis ended in 1998, the disease received little attention until the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation-funded Schistosomiasis Control Initiative started in 2004.

Whiskey Crack is an absolute classic and one of the original Taylor Canyon testpieces. In my day, if you could lead Whiskey Crack, you had arrived. The climbing of crux pitch involves steep technical face climbing and thin crack work over small wired pro. The tendency is to try to snug into the v groove for security, but the key is to stay on the outside. This is a stellar route.
First Buttress Main Wall (Parking lot wall). Between the Sun Deck and The Big Roof lies a Straight as an arrow thin crack in a shallow grove. This is the crux pitch of Whiskey Crack.
Wired nuts provide good but sometimes difficult to get protection.
Thanks Phil!!!!
Morkel, Great shots! "past the slightly sketchy crux", I'll say! Your partner looks much more relaxed than I ever was on that thing.
Hey thanks, the partner is very reliable. This route is one of those leads that take a little extra time, it seemed anyway. Top notch.
The name for this route comes from a bet. Kenny Marx told Tom Pulaski "If you free it, I'll buy you a bottle of whiskey". Tom did and the rest is hic history.

Dom King, Student Activities and Development Manager at the University of Essex Students' Union, underwent an intensive fitness test at the Human Performance Unit just before he set off with Team GB for high altitude training in Font Romeu.
Dom was selected for Team GB after achieving the Olympic 'B' standard for the 50 kilometres walk with a personal best of 4:06:34, a time only achieved by seven other British men.
His date with destiny is on Saturday 11 August when the Olympic 50 kilometre race walk will be held on a two kilometre circuit set up in The Mall, right outside Buckingham Palace.
All of Team GB's endurance athletes have to measure their current level of fitness, oxygen uptake, blood and heart rate before heading to the training camp and will be measured again on their return.
Human Performance Unit Manager Dave Parry at the Centre for Sport and Exercise Science in the School of Biological Sciences said: "He has been the top ranked British race walker in 2012, and selection for the Olympics is his just reward for the huge amount of hard training and preparation that he's put in for such a gruelling event.
"The Human Performance Unit's small contribution to his Olympic preparation has been to provide sports science testing, which gives an insight into where the strengths and weaknesses are in Dom's fitness.
"We'll repeat the testing when Dom returns from his pre-games training camp, just before the Games begin, and hopefully we'll see that he has made some last minute improvements that can help him to an even higher place finish on August 11."

I thought that this story was really inspiring because if I was in that situation then
I would leave in a flash. Ernest taught me how to be brave and stand up for yourself and your friends. If I was in that situation I would not be as brave and return to my old school. I would not have the courage to fight back because the whites would just bully me more. Things have changed because blacks are invited to schools and other activities. They can also vote and participate in the government. I thought the movie was really good and thought me a lot.
