Updated!! Check out the new translation of the Anna Netrebko interview with Vogue Russia. Meticulously handled by our fabulous friend Sasha. Thank you Sasha. Now the interview makes much more sense, and those awkward lost in translation type moments have mostly dissappeared.
Interview by Alexey Tarkhanov for Vogue Russia. Imperfect and imprecise translation courtesy of @sasherka. The original interview can be found here.
Recital in New York City, main role at La Scala, a Christmas concert in Moscow – for Anna Netrebko the whole world is not enough
No one has done for our operatic art as much as Anna Netrebko. Not because she is the greatest singer of our time - there are others, and not worse. But because she is the most beautiful singer of our time, the funniest and liveliest. And she is ours.
Big opera singer - Maria Callas until 1953 or Montserrat Caballe nowadays – is a huge mobile audio speaker. She moves onto the stage, opens mouth and sings an aria. Then she moves to another corner and sounds from there.
Anna Netrebko is not thin, but there is nothing monumental in her. She knows how to improvise, trusts her charisma and body and therefore can kick off shoes, if they're too tight; or lose a Chopard earring on the stage of the Moscow Conservatory - who counts them. Even do a somersault - as in "Don Pasquale" at the Metropolitan Opera. That's what her acrobatics lessons were for at the Palace of Pioneers and School Students of the Krasnodar Region. She also sang in the "Kuban Young Pioneers" choir. And learned to ride a horse. And was "Miss Kuban". Drama club, photography club ... but also wanted to sing - the real soviet action girl.

We scheduled a meeting at the old hotel "Bristol" in the vicinity of the Vienna Opera, where Anna plays Anne Boleyn in Donizetti - wife of Henry VIII, executed in order to free up the royal bed for Jane Seymour. Tickets are sold out. Those who missed the premiere go and watch "Anna Bolena" on the big screen nearby.
Netrebko to the Viennese is their own: she has had an Austrian passport since 2006. And since last year even the Vienna apartment, seriously connecting her with the wonderful city of opera, coffee and chocolate. Windows facing the Franziskaner became one of the city's sightseeing spots, and, according to the singer, flocks of Japanese tourists regularly take her away in their cameras.
She lives here with her husband, opera singer Erwin Schrott. Despite the German last name, he is a real hot Latino. Schrott was born in Uruguay, but there is share of the Viennese mélange in his blood. Anna did not forget to mention to me that Eric decides everything in the family, and she, well, gets busy in the kitchen. Nevertheless, from a professional point of view, she is the motor in their tandem. Although Erwin is by all means not a ballast. A beautiful baritone voice, a great actor, temperamental and witty man. He is very suitable for Anna.

They have a young son. Anna gave birth to him three years ago and five months after the birth was already singing in Mariinsky's "Lucia di Lammermoor." She regained form remarkably quickly. And although her voice does not sound as ringing girlish soprano, as before, it is approaching significant roles of seasoned women. [She] dreams of Verdi's "Il Trovatore" and "La Forza del Destino" and Puccini's "Manon Lescaut". Go look for the best Manon of our time.
Anna looks incredibly beautiful in high heels, in a green dress with luxurious Chopard earrings. Hair is black, eyes shine, chest breathes
- There is a big lie in this production - I say to her.
- What is it? - anxiously asks Netrebko.
- This Henry the Eighth of yours is an ass! How could he stop loving such a woman? I do not understand!
- Well, not quite - Anna laughed. – The other woman is also a beauty.
Elina Garanca sings the role of Seymour - she is indeed really pretty, but the Lithuanian loses in the temperament to the the one from Kuban, blonde to brunette.
- But why cut your head? Some kind of savagery.
- The story is vivid and clear - says Netrebko. - There was such love that it turned into hatred. And he was even suspecting her all this time! There is very little one can show in the bel canto opera, because there isn't much physical action. Maybe to raise an eyebrow, but not more. How would you explain the relationship with brother, and the relationship with page? And then of course, [with] Lord Percy.
In "Boleyn", Netrebko actually has a completely different opponent - not the lady-in-waiting Seymour, and not the singer Garanca. Tackling Anne, she contests with Maria Callas, who memorably sang this role in the 1957 Visconti production at La Scala. Of course, director Genovese - is not Visconti, and Netrebko – not really Callas, not the least because she is alive and, God willing, even happy. Have we lost the ability to simply rejoice in the fact that a beautiful woman with a wonderful voice steps onto the stage in front of us, and not a whale-sized prima donna?
- Well, we are all rather big - sighs Anna. – You have to get the voice from somewhere ... Opera singers have very voluminous chest. We are like athletes. I can run around and sing. I can jump and sing. I can stand on my head and sing. But this role is one of the most difficult ones for me. It is very dramatic, with a huge range - I think I'm losing two kilos during each performance.
Leather and polyester trench, Jean Paul Gaultier; gloves, Georges Morand.
I am surprised - where does such torment come from? I somehow think that it is easy for her and that she is able to transform the opera into a laid-back and fun art.
- I have a very serious profession. And those, who think I'm just performing concerts in beautiful dresses and then take off shoes, think it's very simple. A big mistake. It's not what I look like, but how I sound. Our main burden is that we cannot hear ourselves. At least in ballet, they can look in the mirror to see what they do. We do not have that.
- But doesn't the voice come back at you?
- Depends on the acoustics in a hall. Sometimes the voice does not return at all. So we must learn to sing, not knowing what you are doing, not hearing yourself. [It is necessary to] not be afraid.
There are very few things Netrebko is afraid of and it seems she is not planning to exploit the same vocal character. I remember how we made a bet whether she could handle Pergolesi's Stabat Mater, especially after, to the consternation of the Salzburg Festival Intendant, she abruptly canceled the performance. Everyone thought she got frightened. But she kept her promise pretty adequately in Moscow soon thereafter, at the Great Hall of the Conservatory. Turns out, the Baroque repertoire is also possible for her. [She also] presented a solo recital of Russian romances, proving to the public that she is a great chamber singer as well.
And a different story altogether – performance with Philip Kirkorov of the song "The Voice". Oh, what happened afterwards! But she did not step back. Yes, the song was not fresh. "I always sing what everyone have long been singing" – Netrebko calmly parries. Yes, the most unchained singer of the operatic stage appeared timid on the stage of Jurmala [pop festival], like a pioneer girl at a striptease show. Yes, the words left much to be desired: "Fly, love, I hear your voice ...Fly, and my life flies with you. " On the other hand, most classical opera arias have little poetry too.
- We sang, received the "Golden Gramophone" and "Song of the Year". Everyone criticized me terribly: why, what for? Simply because I wanted to. I was curious: [I] had an encounter with this [pop/crossover] world, looked around. I showed myself. I looked at them.
- How was it?
- Yeah... It's not only that they sing a song that has a range of five notes. They are lip-synching. They open their mouth. At all these concerts, during all TV programs. Wow! What a life!
Cashmere coat, leather boots, gloves and belt, all Hermès; glasses, Prada; tights, Calzedonia; a gold watch with diamonds, amethyst and enamel, Chopard.
She is not planning to repeat this experience, but I remember that moment when everyone was going to lynch Kirkorov for a fight with director Yablokova, Anna was one of the few who tried to protect him.
I asked Anna about her contract with the Chopard jewelers. I am surprised that she wears real jewelry on stage. They jingle, they should be protected...
- Sometimes they jingle. And sometimes they even fall. Remember when an earring flew off in Moscow? But I love to wear them to concerts. I was singing in Germany, I wore a necklace worth about three million? Pretty things that only queens get to wear. Why not? People need to see them. I have to look good - the public expects this. I would not wear them for a walk with my son.
- What is the name of your boy?
- Tiago. It is a Portuguese name. A second name - Arua – is Indian... I wanted something so unusual, why not? Especially since I'll give him my husband's last name. He has my last name for now. Tiago Arua Netrebko. Sounds quite eerie. But he will be a Schrott.
- I am a little sorry for your husband. Because when you live [apart from] your wife in different places - it promises joyful reunions. And when you live away from your baby – now this is absolutely intolerable.
- But we live together! Just occasionally go away, because he has his own work. And then he really misses us. Erwin is a family man and loves Tisha.
- Tisha?
- That's what I call Tiago.
Anna says that with the birth of their son she started to travel much less, and to hate long-haul flights and because of this, for example, has never visited husband's homeland, Uruguay. "We had free time in the winter, and we were planning to go, but I pleaded with him – I imagined this flight... jetlag again ... And said: "I cannot! Have mercy! "
She freely says that she is lazy and wants to live without lessons and rehearsals just for a bit. To sit around with friends, to see her father, to take her child to Prater carousels. Actually, she flaunts the fact that she works fast. She learned "Anna Bolena" in a month. [She] usually learns faster. "Iolanta" took a week.
- But the rehearsals - for seven hours a day. Over and over and over again. And you find errors, and ...
- You cannot eat, you cannot drink ...
- Everyone is different. There are some crazy people. They don't wash their hair, they do not talk for a week. That is all nonsense, of course. For example, I do not go out in the sun if I have to sing, I do not go to the sauna. I drink alcohol, but not before a performance, at least a day before - it does not affect me at all. I eat everything except onion and garlic, because I have to be in close contact with colleagues. I eat right, but will sometimes agree for a burger - delicious. Sometimes I cook myself.
- What do you cook? Cabbage pies?
- Thank God, I don't know how to bake pies. Because if I begin to eat pies, I cannot stop. I am from Krasnodar. I made meatballs yesterday, salad, chicken soup with vegetables.
In the mornings, she cooks porridge for her son, although she frankly admits that she has no strength to play with him after rehearsals in the evenings. "Really, am I still able play with toys? But he always sleeps close to me, so there is contact." Netrebko says Tiago Arua loves construction sets - "everything that moves interests him a lot. Maybe he'll become an engineer or a physicist. It's true that he also likes my shoes. He sometimes takes out my colorful - red, purple - shoes before bedtime and looks at them. "
I immediately catch myself also looking at her shoes, bright Christian Louboutin, iridescent green dress – there's so much provocation, but a lot of pleasure as well.
- I hate to dress boringly - says Anna. – I am from Krasnodar! I love color, good clothes. I did not have toxicosis during pregnancy. The only time I felt like vomiting was when I went into my closet and saw all gray and black things. I felt sick. I bought a lot of colorful clothing and was walking around as bright as I could the entire pregnancy. Ever since then I have a negative attitude toward pale clothes and shoes. I won't even pick them with my hands!
We could chat more, but she is due for her photo shoot. I regretfully turn off the tape recorder. Cossack and Gypsy by blood, she passionately gets everything she lacked in her childhood in Krasnodar. Roles, engagements, travels, romances, apartments in Vienna and New York, magazine photo shoots. Anna is the perfect glamorous character precisely because she seems totally natural. Like a sensitive tool, she answers the questions exactly as you would like them, does not filter words - she is not stingy, there's enough for everyone. She has a happy manner of a loved woman, next to whom everyone feels good.

[Extract] Despite a number of initiatives aimed at increasing the rural doctor numbers, the continuing reality of the rural doctor shortage in Australia is that most rural doctors leave after a few months or years. Hays explored the reasons why long-term general practitioners (GPs) stay in rural practice and found that personal and professional support and a strong attachment to the community were associated with decisions to remain in rural practice for long periods, while overwork and children's education concerns contributed most to leaving. 1
Since 2001, numerous initiatives are underway to recruit new graduates and doctors to the bush and as such, their reasons for entering rural practice might be associated with these positive initiatives. This paper builds on previous literature 1 and looks at an established cohort of rural GPs and reports what originally attracted them to rural practice and why they would consider leaving rural practice.

Speech is defined as the ability to communicate thoughts, ideas, or other information by means of sounds that have clear meaning to others.
Many animals make sounds that might seem to be a form of speech. For example, one may sound an alarm that a predator is in the area. The sound warns others of the same species that an enemy is in their territory. Or an animal may make soothing sounds to let offspring know that a parent is present. Most scientists regard these sounds as something other than true speech.

For this question, you can use:
`dy= V_(iy) * t + 1/2at^2`
Now first we shall assign the values needed to solve for the time required.
`dy` = -4 (direction is down)
`V_iy` = 5m * sin (35) = 2.8679
`a ` = acceleration due to gravity = -9.81m/s^2 (direction is down)
`t ` = time = ?
By substitution, we can now have:
`-4 = 2.8679t - 4.9t^2`
Arranging the equation into standard form:
`4.9x^2 -2.8679x - 4 = 0`
To solve for the value of t, quadratic equation is used.
`x = (-b +-sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/(2a)`
The two values derived from this equation are -0.657 and 1.24. we will choose the positive time which is 1.24 seconds.

Science: What is the order of colors in a rainbow?
A rainbow is made by the reflection and refraction of light that interacts with raindrops. Depending on how this interaction occurs with your location relative to the sun and the raindrops you may see a primary and even a secondary rainbow.
The interaction that occurs to create the primary rainbow will produce a spectrum of colors in order Red - Orange - Yellow - Green - Blue - Indigo -Violet (ROY G BIV) with Red occuring on the outside edge of the rainbow to Violet occuring on the insdie edge (closest to the center) of the rainbow.
The extra reflection that occurs to produce the secondary rainbow causes the colors to reverse order. So on the secondary rainbow Red will occur on the inside edge followed by Orange,...
Chemistry is the study of the composition of matter and the changes that take place in that composition. If you place a bar of iron outside your window, the iron will soon begin to rust. If you pour vinegar on baking soda, the mixture fizzes. If you hold a sugar cube over a flame, the sugar begins to turn brown and give off steam. The goal of chemistry is to understand the composition of substances such as iron, vinegar, baking soda, and sugar and to understand what happens during the changes described here.
Both the term chemistry and the subject itself grew out of an earlier field of study known as alchemy. Alchemy has been described as a kind of pre-chemistry, in...

Acrylic plastic refers to a family of synthetic, or man-made, plastic materials containing one or more derivatives of acrylic acid. The most common acrylic plastic is polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), which is sold under the brand names of Plexiglas, Lucite, Perspex, and Crystallite. PMMA is a tough, highly transparent material with excellent resistance to ultraviolet radiation and weathering. It can be colored, molded, cut, drilled, and formed. These properties make it ideal for many applications including airplane windshields, skylights, automobile taillights, and outdoor signs. One notable application is the ceiling of the Houston Astrodome which is composed of hundreds of...

The major geographical and geological features of the South American continent determine in large measure the differences in regional environmental conditions. Geologically the most spectacular feature of the continent is the mountain range of the Andes, which stretches some 7,000 kilometers (4,350 miles) from Venezuela in the north to Argentina in the south. The mountains pass through Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Chile and reach average heights of 4,000 meters (about 13,000 feet). The highest peak (7,000 meters, or nearly 23,000 feet) is Aconcagua in western Argentina near the Chilean border. The Andes, which form two main ranges in South America (the Western and Eastern Cordilleras), are essentially the continuation of the tectonic...
Science: How can a fish survive in water with the oxygen in it only 4 percent of what...
Unlike mammals with lungs, fishes have gills as the respiratory organ. Gills are a series of membranes loaded with blood capillaries, located on each side of the head of the fish. As water passes over this system of extremely fine gill membranes, the contact area for oxygen exchange increases dramatically. Aided by a highly efficient water pumping system that involves the mouth and the outer cover of the gills, called the operculum, the fish gallops copious amount of water per unit time and this makes up for the low percentage of available oxygen. This way the fish can actually extract and absorb up to 85% of available oxygen out of the water. Since water contains only ~4% of the available oxygen that air at sea level does, such a...

Science: What is the largest muscle in the human body?
The gluteal muscles are largest. The gluteus minimus and maximus comprise this group. They are your buttocks. A very close second is the bilateral latissimus dorsi muscles which are your "lats". They run more than half way up your back and wrap around laterally (the sides). They connect distally in the hip or coxal area. The gluteals are indeed much thicker and have more mass. Another large muscle group is the adductor group on the anterior thigh and also the quadriceps group which is also on your anterior thigh(front thigh). As you can imagine, the muscles of the legs are very strong inpart because they help to support your weight. The masseter muscles of the bilateral jaws are also very strong, and the strongest of all.

Physics: What is the formula for pressure?
The formula for pressure is
In this equation, P stands for pressure while F stands for force and A stands for area. Pressure is typically measured in a unit called the Pascal.
So what this means is that the amount of pressure that is exerted on an area is determined by the size of that area and by the amount of force that is pressing against it.
Therefore, if you have a given amount of force, you will have more pressure if it presses down on a small area than if it presses down on a large area.

My father welds such a smooth, steady bead that, more than 10 years after retirement, metal-fabrication companies still knock at his garage door seeking help on a job. His work has gone to the moon and steadied the hand of a woman climbing the steps to church. In a world where goods are no longer built to last, that lunar rover and iron rail will be around a long time.
What about welding as an occupation? Glancing at college catalogues and want ads, I see there's still a need for it. More than a need, because who wants to weld? Same with plumbers, cabinetmakers, electricians. Kids prefer to enter high-tech jobs, maybe score one of those 500 positions Ubisoft is promising in its video-gaming centre in Montreal.
Technological advances and an evolving economy have altered our perception of how one can make a living, what Studs Terkel called the "search for daily meaning as well as daily bread." We don't have trappers anymore; fur-bearing animals are farmed. We have fewer fishermen; fish are farmed too. Bank tellers, gasoline jockeys, travel agents: dodo-ized by automation and computers. Did you know four per cent of Canadians work in call centres?
In his latest book, A Good Day's Work, John DeMont mourns the loss of these jobs. But not just as livelihoods: He regrets the mindlessness that has replaced the thought that went into traditional occupations. Work defines a person, he says; it gives us a "sense of esteem, accomplishment and competence."
With that in mind, DeMont set out across the country to find people who "make their living in the time-honoured way."
The men and women he met perform jobs still needed in 2013, but which are dying out. (Some will never completely die out. One of the lessons of the Lac-Mégantic railway disaster is that we need more railmen, not fewer, and though journalists bemoan the waning of the big-city newspaper, there'll always be a need for someone to report news. That stuff we read on the Internet has to come from somewhere.)
DeMont's nine subjects work in professions or trades that have existed for hundreds of years — in some cases, thousands. In this way, these Canadians are like flies in amber. They include Ontario train engineers, a large-animal veterinarian in New Brunswick, a drive-in projectionist in Picton, a travelling salesman in western Quebec. If you've never encountered one, it's not your fault. Assuming that you are among the 80 per cent of Canadians who live in a city, you probably take a car to work or school, have seen a cow or horse only from the highway, go online for your news and music and buy your jeans from the mall and your milk and TP from some cavernous chain store.
In each of these well-crafted mini-profiles, we see how the profession has changed. Bill Bennett, for example, delivers milk in a small Ford van. It's puny compared to the one his dad drove. But milk vans have shrunk because families have. Fewer kids mean less milk taken with their cornflakes. Also, over the past 50 years, many immigrants have come from countries where milk isn't so central to the breakfast table.
Numbers tell the story starkly. In Quebec, according to the 1911 census, there were 4,812 forgerons, or blacksmiths. Today, only 50, half of whom are dabblers. In Alberta, in 1941, there were 80,000 cattle farms. Now? Twenty-nine thousand. There were 16,660 farmers under age 35 in 1991. Fifteen years later, less than a third of that. Young people can't get into farming, even if they wanted. To sustain a large enough herd to make a living, they've got to have land, and land prices are too high.
Still, Pierre Bédard pounds metal on his anvils in Ste-Justine-de-Newton, adhering to the "old ways" partly because he's a romantic, partly because people crave his work. He makes old-fashioned double-turned locks and French pots and pans for re-enactors of the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. Stu Cousins sells LPs in Saskatoon to boomers revisiting their teens if only for 10 tracks, and to young hipsters who've brought about a revival of vinyl. Marj Venot ranches in the Special Areas of Alberta after she tried working in an accounting office. "I learned what I didn't want to be," she said. What she wanted was to be outside, with 600 head of seed stock and beef cattle, on 12,480 acres of land.
DeMont gets nostalgic about the loss of traditional jobs and knowledge and more "innocent days."

Sites Selling Paid Advertising Links Getting Lower Toolbar Pr
Posted 24 October 2007 - 11:29 PM
Its fun to be right. Even more fun when you have to wait for it.
Posted 25 October 2007 - 04:07 AM
So is the only way G! Bot can tell is if your pages all of a sudden are swamped with link after link after link.
I also fail to see the point of those links being on the page, it's obvious it's for link sake, no-one in their right mind would choose to click any of those links, they are so spammy, however, the page 'on my tool bar' has ZERO PR, so what gives?
Or is that the result of the latest update?
At least i feel a little more comfortable with my affiliate program, it's not spammy or trying to offer PR in any way, whether people want to claim it's a paid link or not, thats simply semantics, when you look at that blog page, you can see who the real 'paid link' bandits are.
So Jill, having read HR Advisor, do you really just beleive this is 'visual' PR adjustment, as a few forums i've been on are moaning about actual SERPS, so would suggest there is 'real' change not just 'visual'
Any further thoughts on this? and would you say it can only be a good thing for those 'like myself' who are trying to do the right thing and 'use' the system not 'abuse' the system?
Posted 25 October 2007 - 07:15 AM
I read through the paid-link-smack article this morning.
"I've personally been frustrated by paid anchor-text link ads in the search engine optimization space, as they have boosted tons of SEO-company websites to the top of the SERPs for important phrases such as "search engine optimization" -- ultimately pushing down those sites who don't purchase text links. (Certainly not all of the top 10-20 sites in the SERPs are buying links, but if you do some homework you'll see many are.)"
Oh, that would be me, wouldn't it? Well since you're talking about me, I am going to respond.
I've actually been waiting to hear something like this for quite awhile from Jill as I regularly monitor the serps and have seen a certain HR site struggling at times. But I did not think it would take the form of an actual attack on companies appearing ahead of HR. So let's get the facts straight.
1) the firms at the top of the serps are there because they have done what Google wants. That is the point of SEO - satisfy the engines, so the clients get what they want
2) accusing firms, such as mine, of "cheating" their way into the top of the serps because there is a single text link on a single site which is obviously paid for is ridiculous. And then to assume intent is outright unprofessional. ArteWorks advertises on SEG and I think two other sites. Certainly not enough to make any difference whatsoever in the serps. At $150 a month, SEG is one of the best deals around, and this advertising has paid for itself many times over. To make a statement that a couple of paid advertisements is the reason our firm or any other firm is doing well in the serps is simply ignorant and completely ignores the other 19,000+ natural links pointing to our site.
3) buying links won't now nor will it ever get a site "penalized". It is a legitimate form of advertising and Google knows it. Of course, if one is buying links for the sake of artificially inflating page rank, then yes, that person will be disappointed. But purchasing links from respectable sites in the industry who are a good source of link traffic is completely fine.
I have seen on this forum a few times one of my favorite quotes, "you can gripe about it if it makes you feel better, but griping won't change anything." If Jill or anyone else is unsatisfied with their search rankings, my advice would be to stop griping about it and start doing some off page SEO for your site so that you will begin to see movement. Sitting around and making bald assertions about other companies, and presuming less than honorable intent on their part, is completely uncalled for.
And just for the record, in the last few months since this whole paid link uproar started getting attention, my firm and others have moved *up* in the serps, which seems to tell me that the natural, nonpaid, link building we have been doing for years through content distribution, social media optimization, and the like, has paid off.
It is extremely unprofessional to get bitter and make statements about other firms based on the existence of a single paid link on a relevant, industry site which is a wonderful source of qualified traffic.
Posted 25 October 2007 - 07:45 AM
Given your rant I think you must have missed the most important part of Jill's article. That being:
I felt it would be something worthwhile for a client.
She even mentioned elsewhere --and I've harped on the subject about a bazillion times-- that the reason one should purchase a paid link advertisement is to obtain Real, High Quality Traffic. What the search engines think about those links, whether they reward them or not, should not be part of the decision making process. If that's why you purchased the links, and it sounds like it was, I certainly don't have an argument with it. Nor would Jill I highly suspect. That's good business. Period, end of story.
FWIW, I'm with you on your basic premise Jill. I think this whole thing is a sort of shot across the bow by Google to get peoples attention and convince them they should start nofollow'ing those paid links. It's their way of saying to those webmasters who do accept paid links that they'd better fall in line with Google's desires or risk a real penalty.
Who knows if they'll follow through on the threat or not. In some highly visible cases you're talking about a lot of otherwise quite useful, authoritative and trustworthy sites possibly being dinged. But like Jill I'm kind of enjoying sitting on the sidelines to see what happens next. Because if they really want SEOs to abide by their wishes to nofollow paid links the quickest way for them to get their point across is to start penalizing highly visible, authoritative sites in the SEO market segment who display paid link ads sans any nofollow. So it wouldn't surprise me if weeks down the road those sites who don't fall into compliance suddenly take a tumble.
After all, where else can Google have such a large effect by affecting so few sites?
Posted 25 October 2007 - 07:58 AM
No, I did not miss Jill's point. Doesn't change the fact that she made accusations about other SEO firms not legitimately being where they are. The one statement does not negate the other.
Posted 25 October 2007 - 08:37 AM
This is what Google has done since they first came out with their rote pronouncements that they dislike paid links and do not count them. Even though we've all always known figuring out which were and were not paid is a very, very difficult thing for a machine to ascertain, they've still been saying one thing for months, while doing the exact opposite.
If you want my guess on the recent developments, I think they're going to make an example out of a dozen or two high profile sites in the SEO market if any of them are crazy enough to thumb their nose at Google one more time. Do I think that's fair? No, not really. Google shouldn't be in the business of telling people how to design their sites.
That said it is Google's engine and they can do with it what they want. So if they choose to come down on some sites to make a point they're completely within their rights to do so.
Posted 25 October 2007 - 08:45 AM
There is surely an argument that when you go into business and produce a company that is as big, powerful and rich as those such as Google.
Does your responsability to your customers and the public become greater than Joe blogs down the road running a newsagents?
It's their newsagent and if they chose to stop selling papers, yes it's their business they can do what they want, and people would simply get there paper else where.
Can the same be said about Google.
I'm not sure which side of the fence i sit, I get pulled by both sides of the argument and it can depend on what sort of day i'm having, but i'm sure i've seen on the news (though cannot recal exact examples), where it is accepted that big companies have a duty and responsibility above and beyond Joe Blogs Limited (LLC in USA i beleive).

i will agree with jill that there is at least one result in particular that i have been very concerned about, but it's not paid linking, and my concerns are not so much for the integrity of the rankings as they are for the consuming public. they claim to be offering "free submission" if you add a linking code on your site to their site, a ringtone site, or one other site. i feel so sorry for the poor folks that add this link to their page thinking they are getting something for it. either way, it is definitely *not* "search engine optimization", except maybe for the target site!
Posted 25 October 2007 - 09:03 AM
If you want to backtrack or retract that statement, then fine. But just do it, don't deny you made it.
Posted 25 October 2007 - 09:19 AM
My concern would be this: If all they're doing is slapping the wrists of some major players to make a point, they can do that manually and be sure they're getting the right ones; but to penalize paid links in general, they'd have to automate it. Can they really tell paid links from unpaid ones reliably enough to automate that? My client has some links that are paid and some that are free reciprocal links. I don't see how a spider (or a human, without going through some signup forms) could tell the difference between them. (Especially now that we've nofollow'ed them all just in case.) As a web searcher myself, I'm glad they're trying to weed out the sites that are content-free lists of links and ads; but as a site admin, I'm concerned that sites could be wrongly penalized because some of their links "look" like paid links somehow.

Huh? Full of yourself there, artworks. I had nobody specific in mind when I wrote that post, and least of all you! But if your site fits that bill, then that's fine too.
Huh again? Where's the attack in my statement? It's a simple statement which is true. It was not an attack, and I don't see how anyone could see it as one.
Absolutely agree and I said the same thing in the article.
Please point out where I ever said anything about "cheating"? There's no such thing as cheating where SEO is concerned and I have never ever ever ever accused anyone anytime of cheating. If you can point out where I have, I'd surely like to see it. You amaze me with how you take what I say and pretend it was something else all together. Truly and utterly amazing.
I have no idea what you're even talking about in that one. Assume intent about what?
I think that's great! I'm all for SEG making money on their ads.
I never made such a statement. Of course a couple of paid advertisements won't help in the SERPs. It takes way more than a couple.
Did I say it would? It's not for me to say whether it will or it won't. I believe Matt Cutts has said it will, but the jury is out on whether that's simply an idle threat or not. Personally, I don't give a whether they get penalized or not.
Perhaps you need to direct your anger at Google and not at me then? It's has nothing to do with me or anything I've said!
Where's the griping? I made a simple statement.
Again, you've made up something I didn't do.
And yet another thing I didn't do or say.
Artworks, I don't know why you can't seem to understand a very simple, clear and straightforward article, or why you believe it had anything to do with you, but that's not my problem to figure out.
Posted 25 October 2007 - 09:44 AM
Not that I can find in these guidelines, they don't:
There's nothing wrong with reciprocal links per se, no matter what the Chicken Little "sky is falling" SEO crowd would have one believe.
Granted, there has never been anything particularly good about randomly trading links with pages that have no value for your site visitors. But the links still "count" as links unless the site you're trading with has already been penalized for other spammy practices.
And if you and another business owner in a complimentary business decide to trade links for the mutual benefit of your site visitors, there's never been anything wrong with that, and I can't imagine there ever will be.
Posted 25 October 2007 - 10:07 AM
It's an attack. You insinuate that YOU don't agree with the serps and that more deserving firms should be ahead of those that advertise on SEG. You talked about doing your homework, but at least according to your article the extent of your homework was looking at links on the front page of SEG, then the top 20 results, and then making a sweeping statement about sites in the top 20 being undeserving because of the existence of a paid link on SEG. If you did more homework, you probably should have clarified that, for instance if you found sites with hundred or thousands of paid links. The way it was written does not indicate that to the normal reader, and in fact appears to discourage readers from considering legitimate any top 20 firms who advertise on SEG.
You assumed intent in that firms advertising via a single paid link on SEG are doing so to increase search engine positioning and not for proper business motives.
You did make a statement that paid advertisements are the reason "tons" of top 20 seo firms appear at the top of the serps.
I don't have any anger at Google, Jill. Our site and other sites who engage in legitimate SEO including *natural* linking to *content* are doing great!
You're griping alright, being "frustrated" that other sites are ahead of yours.
I understand the article just fine.

When FM broadcasting licenses were first issued by the FCC, broadcasters were slow to take advantage of the new airwaves available to them because their advertising revenues were generated primarily from existing AM broadcasting stations and because there were few FM radio receivers owned by the general public. This void created an opportunity for the disenchanted youth counter-culture of the era to express itself by playing music that was largely ignored by mainstream outlets. In this sense, progressive rock radio was more of a social response than a product marketed to fill a need.
This change coincided with the greater emphasis on albums as opposed to singles in the rock market. Hugely popular albums such as The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band did not contain any singles, so there was clearly a need for a radio format that would explore beyond the Top 40. This in turn led to rock artists placing greater emphasis on long or experimental album tracks, knowing they could still receive radio airplay.
The progressive rock radio format should not be confused with the progressive rock music genre. While progressive rock music was certainly played on progressive rock stations, so were many other genres of rock as well. Generally everything from early Beatles and early Dylan on forward was fair game. Progressive rock radio was generally the only outlet for fringe rock genres such as space rock and quiet, acoustic-based folk rock and country rock (often played on weekend mornings). Progressive stations were also known for having "turntable hits", songs by obscure artists that did not sell much and were not hits by any conventional measure, but which listeners kept calling up and requesting;Sweet Thursday's "Gilbert Street" was a good example on the East Coast.
The progressive rock radio format grew out of the freeform radio format, and, sharing the key characteristic of disc jockeys having the freedom to play what they chose, has sometimes been referred to as "freeform rock radio" or "freeform progressive radio" or simply "FM rock radio". But as they evolved there were key differences between the freeform and progressive rock formats:
The archetypal successful and influential progressive rock radio station was WNEW-FM in New York in the late 1960s, 1970s, and into the 1980s; Keith Emerson credited it for breaking Emerson, Lake & Palmer into the United States market. Other long-running, large-market examples included WMMR in Philadelphia (credited with helping to break Bruce Springsteen), WMMS in Cleveland, CJOM and WABX in Detroit/Windsor, WXRT in Chicago, KQRS-FM in Minneapolis, KSAN in San Francisco, and KMET in Los Angeles (many of these stations were owned by Metromedia), and college radio stations such as WVBR in Ithaca, New York, WKNC in Raleigh, North Carolina, and WBRU in Providence, Rhode Island. Pioneering progressive rock radio disc jockey and program directors included Scott Muni in New York and Tom Donahue in San Francisco.
Over time (some much faster than others), the large-city progressive rock stations usually lost DJ freedom and adopted the more structured and confined album-oriented rock format in the 1970s or 1980s, and then later the nostalgic classic rock format in the 1980s or 1990s, while the smaller progressive rock stations sometimes turned to the college rock or alternative rock. Where once "progressive rock radio [was] the key media of ascendant rock culture", as writer Nelson George put it, by 1987, musician and author Robert Palmer would write, "The glory days of 'progressive' rock radio - when the disk jockey actually chose the records he played and creatively juxtaposed songs and styles - are long gone." While freeform stations are still around in the 2000s (such as New Jersey's WFMU), there may be no real examples of the specific progressive rock radio format in existence today on the FM dial. XM Satellite Radio's "Deep Tracks" channel might, however, be regarded as a contemporary equivalent. Some of the spirit of progressive rock radio (albeit in a more mellow, "adult" form) can also be found in the Triple-A format.

What You Think: JaVale McGee's Backboard Dunk, Kahunas & Cojones, and Chandler Parsons's Balls
First of all, we know Houston's Chandler Parsons got a put-back dunk on JaVale McGee, circling his crotch and balls around Epic 'Vale's head for good measure. McGee was more than posterized, he was GIF'd…
In video form, if you will…
Then, of course, in true JaVale fashion, there was this, a dunk off the backboard when down 64-60 early in the third quarter against Houston:
And people reacted…
@CraigStouffer of the Washington Examiner:
McGee's dunk was the equivalent of Peck shutting down the protection grid in Ghostbusters, unleashed
#Wizards evils upon Verizon Center.
@JFrankHanrahan of Comcast SportsNet:
If 11-1 McGee can do that dunk not at 1-11.
Flip Saunders, John Wall and Mo Evans all thought the off-the-backboard part was a bad idea, reports SB Nation. Andray Blatche said, "I don't really care for it."
Royce Young on CBS Sports:
Remember last season how McGee basically sold his soul to try and get a triple-double? That's the type of recurring issue you see within a troubled, dysfunctional team. Putting stats and self before team. At some point, you've just got to grow up. You can't continue to waste talent and opportunity. Be a professional. An NBA game isn't your own personal playground. It's about the final score. It's about winning and losing, the latter of which you know plenty about.
And McGee himself?
"Apparently, if you get a fast break in the third quarter and you're 1-11, you're not supposed to do stuff like that. I felt like I was trying to get the team hyped and trying to make a good play, so I felt like we did that, and we went on a run from there."
Then there's always Nick Young, via @MrMichaelLee of the Washington Post:
Nick Young's reaction to JaVale McGee's self-alley-oop dunk: "He had some big Kahunas."
And @CraigStouffer:
Safe to say Young meant to say "cojones," but "kahunas" works just fine.
Me? Via @Truth_About_It:
2 be honest, I didn't even care abt JaVale's backboard dunk, was marveling in Wall's transition D comm. & Booker's hustle reb that led 2 it.
…While I also recognize that it was 'typical' JaVale McGee, or rather, a reason why he doesn't really get it. But, just as he said this quote after Saturday's Sixers game via the Washington Examiner:
"Whenever you're losing, it's hard to get things of that nature: All-Star and players of the year, defensive, most improved, stuff like that. It just doesn't come to players that are losing, but I mean, just whatever."
McGee's backboard dunk, what do YOU think?

Cruise Ship History: Dubai may sell former Cunard Line QE2 to tackle debt crisis – The high-profile "trophy asset" of Dubai's boom years may have to be sold to pay off the emirate's mounting debts. The QE2 competes with the RMS Titanic for media attention.
From The Daily Telegraph:
The QE2 arrives at Port Rashid in Dubai. The Gulf state may have to sell the high profile asset acquired during the boom years.
Dubai World, the state-run company at the heart of a default crisis that has sent shock waves through the global financial system, bought a string of prestige stakes and properties as the city grew. The team of auditors brought in by the government, led by one of Britain's leading experts in restructuring troubled firms, is to trawl through all the company assets with no options ruled out, a spokesman confirmed on Friday.
The dream that will never happen. Dubai goes broke and where will the most famous cruise liner in the world end up?
The Daily Telegraph also understands that Abu Dhabi is giving close scrutiny to 'non-core' assets like the QE2 in the Dubai World portfolio.

Until the early 1970s, it was routinely possible to schedule extensive world journeys by transferring between three, four or more different ocean liners on point-to-point line voyages. The services were promoted to take advantage of a coordinated system of fares and schedules among cooperating shipping companies known as the "Interchange Lines."
In January 1962, for example, one could begin at New York with an 11 day Atlantic crossing on American Export Lines' Constitution (above) to Tenerife, Gibraltar and Naples. After visiting Italy, passengers caught the Asia of Lloyd Triestino outbound for 25 days via the Suez Canal to Pakistan, India, Singapore and Hong Kong.

Then the traveler could sail home across the Pacific for 19 days on American President Lines' President Cleveland via Kobe, Yokohama and Honolulu to San Francisco. In those days fares for this alluring around the world voyage began at only US$935 in Tourist Class or US$1488 in First Class.
Here we survey a sample of the 1962 schedules and services of the Interchange Lines as they weaved together these romantic routes on splendid ships over exotic seas. Come along. It's sailing hour, so let's enjoy a pleasant journey back into the not-so-distant past when ocean liners could take you almost anywhere!

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
Hi! My name is Alicia. I am currently a research assistant at the Fort Valley State University where I work with plants like Valeria, stevia, alfalfa, tobacco, and arundo donax. I help in teaching Biotechnology classes that my boss offers. I conduct all the labs that go along with the Biotechnology classes. I have a B.S. degree in Biology and a Masters of Public Health with a concentration in Environmental Science from the Fort Valley State University. I have been tutoring children and adults in my neighborhood for the past 3 or 4 years. I tutor in several subjects. I am capable of tutoring in the following areas: Algebra 1 and 2, Elementary Math, Prealgebra, Elementary Science, Physiology, Anatomy, Grammar, Proofreading, Spelling, Vocabulary, Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Microsoft Excel. I love helping children and other adults learn more and become more comfortable with the subject matter they are having problems with. My tutoring methods include doing practice worksheets and anything else that may be helpful in getting the student to understand the subject better.
I love math. I took up to Calculus I in college. I passed all my math classes with As and Bs.
I love computers. I took all the computer courses I could while in high school and college. i did exceptionally well in all courses. I know all about Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access.
I am very capable of doing Microsoft Access. I have taken several computer courses that have involved the usage of Microsoft Access. I love working on computers and have tried to learn all that I can about them and the programs that run on them.

Unfortunately, the same inconsistent powerband that we noticed on the street was even more of a hindrance on a track like Infineon. The RSV4 R would positively leap off the corners, only to have its acceleration taper off early as it hit the aforementioned flat spot at 10,000 rpm, and waiting for the engine to get over that dip cost time and speed; a look at the GPS track speed graph shows the Aprilia to have the lowest mph at the end of many straights. Also holding the RSV4 R back was the suspension's rather coarse action that made for a sketchy ride in all but the smoothest sections of the track, as well as its excessive heft-at 473 pounds fully fueled, the Aprilia is only outweighed by the four-pound-heavier Yamaha.
Unfortunately, as speeds rose, so did the Yamaha's disadvantages. "Even on a track with short straights like Infineon," wrote Olsen in his notes, "the Yamaha clearly runs out of steam." Add the double-whammy of a 477-pound wet weight, and you have a bike that starts to become hard work to hustle around a roller-coaster of a track like Infineon. The R1's ultra-tall first gear would usually be an advantage at a racetrack, but not this time; it was too tall for Infineon's slower hairpins, killing the drive out, and we also ran into an issue with missed downshifts into first gear until the cause (proper linkage arm angle on the shift shaft after moving the footpeg brackets to their higher position) was discovered late in the test. Interestingly, Olsen still hated the front brake pads, while the others had no complaints.

Edvard Munch's The Scream Odds-on to Make Over $100 at Auction
LONDON, May 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Bookmakers Bodog.co.uk estimate that the $80,000,000 price tag set by Sotheby's for tomorrow's auction of The Scream will be smashed and go 4/6 that the painting goes for over $100,000,000.
For those less optimistic its 11/10 that it will make less than $100,000,000 with the same firm. The current record for a painting at auction stands at just over $106,400, a record that could also go tomorrow.
Betting on the auction has seen both sides backed but with slightly more customers thinking the painting will rake over the $100 million mark.
The auction takes place tomorrow (Wednesday, May 2nd) Sotheby's in New York.

We have a tendency to lump all homeless together, or pigeon hole them, they are not all the same. There are many that are mentally unstable and really should be in an institution. Then there are those that just drop out from society, you will have these in any economy, good or bad, these are the hardest to help, because they are doing exactly what they want to do, sure if you wanted to provide them with a free house that they could party in they would be happier, but otherwise, living in the river bottom is ok. Then there the ones that really want to better themselves, victims of the economy, but from what I have seen, this is by far the smallest percentage.

We wanted pizza and it wasn't on the menu but he made it happen. When it was ready he even came running with it from across the hotel where they made it in the other kitchen - just to keep it warm! A for effort!

I was invited to dinner with work colleagues at the gourmet restaurant of the Sheraton, so I'm not sure of the prices or choices.

Food was excellent and I recommend All-inclusive. The service was incredible, friendly servers. Great atmosphere.
We ate at the Las Gaviotas resturant at the Sheraton on our last night and had a very good meal. Our table looked out over the ocean and it was perfect. The staff was very accommodating and our waiter was very nice. We would definately go back the next time we are PV
We had dinner at Gaviotas. They pretend to be upper class, but no-one in the place and tried to exclude us from coming in. While we did have sandals, but we were dressed extremely nice with shirts and nice pants... The restaurant has a nice look to it, but unfortunately looks only go so far. Our meal was bland and...

You would think that at a restaurant at a Sheraton would offer safe italian food. I ordered lasagna, which also should be a safe bet. Tasted like flat pasta with old canned white cheese. It wasn't even hot, to boot. Wife had the risoto... no flavor at all. Not to mention that she ordered the "special" salmon risoto and got... More
When I go to a "gourmet" restaurant in a new place, I always try the local menu if I can. Since we were in the Puerto Vallarta Sheraton, I figure to go with fish of some type.

The Mexican gourmet menu here is ambitious, but was very poorly executed with the dishes we ordered.

The restaurant itself is pretty in that there are candles and flaming torches everyone - quite romantic. The service we received was very slow. Ceasar salad was prepared at our tableside.

The new Eterna 1948 Evolution three-hander offers an extremely boring, generic design, which may in fact be a good thing if you happen to work in a company with a ridiculously strict dress code.
The Swiss watchmaking company Eterna will soon expand its line of chronograph wrist watches with a new Eterna Heritage Chronograph 1938 Limited Edition model. Presented in a massive, rectangular stainless steel body, the new vintage-styled model leaves lasting impression.
Named after Thor Heyerdahl's most famous raft, the KonTiki line represents the 'sports' branch in Eterna's current collection of inexpensive mechanical watches. The new Eterna KonTiki Date model, which is coming in a stainless steel case, is essentially an affordable version of the last year's red gold KonTiki Anniversary model.
The Porsche Design Worldtimer P'6750 automatic watch, which was first introduced in April 2007 during the annual show in Basel, Switzerland as a black PVD coated titanium timepiece, is finally available in a much more expensive rose gold case.

I think you could make this work, although the side controls and steering cable need to be brought up through center, and a bracket made for the right side controles.I have done the same thing ,except for the right side controls I built a plywood and glass box and attached it to the side of gunwale,then reatached the controles,the console is a little right of center, which makes it easy to get around.Answered on 2/22/2012 by p.j from cape ann ma.
