New streetlights headed to some Detroit neighborhoodsBy Kirk Pinho
Related links
Some Detroit residents will begin seeing new streetlights in their neighborhoods starting early next month. The Detroit Public Lighting Authority announced today the pending streetlight construction and installation, along with results of a review of the lights in those neighborhoods. Almost 45 percent of the streetlights in the two pilot areas weren't working, according to a news release. In the east-side pilot area, 1,417 lights out of 3,194 weren't working, or 44.4 percent. In the west-side pilot area, 794 of the 1,745 lights (45.5 percent) weren't working. In total, 4,939 streetlights were surveyed. Of those, 2,211 (44.8 percent) were not working. The two pilot phases were in the areas bounded by Eight Mile, Kelly and Hoover roads, and Houston-Whittier Avenue on the east side; and McNichols Road, the Southfield Freeway (M-39), Fenkell Street and Telegraph Road on the city's west side. "Before we could develop a plan to renovate the city's street lights, it was critical that we have accurate, up-to-date information on the system as it exists today," Odis Jones, executive director of the public lighting authority, said in the news release. "Since most of the current data was 15 years old, that made it necessary to go out and survey the condition of every single light." Under a state law signed last year, the public lighting authority is expected to use revenue from the city's utility users' tax to finance about $160 million in bond debt for the anticipated improvements, which are expected to come in phases over three years. Additional funding could come from grants. Many of the city's streetlights operate on a circuit where if one light goes out, the entire series goes out. Those circuits would be upgraded to parallel circuits, fixing the problem. One of the other issues causing outages is theft, which is expected to be addressed in part by burying circuits and transformers. Other problems include vandalism and poor maintenance. DTE Energy Co. provides power to about 55,000 of the city's 88,000 streetlights. The remaining 33,000 lights are the city's responsibility to power. Kirk Pinho: (313) 446-0412, email@example.com.

Durable, tons of different ways to sling these make them the easiest most versatile straps. Minimal stretch also means you won't wake up on the ground in the middle of the night.

Atlas straps > Pros > Normal slap straps

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have had my Pros since June of 2012 and at the time it was either the pros or the normal SlapStraps, do yourself a if your trying to bounce between the two and get the pros, they are longer and give you a lot more places to hook your carabineers. The only problem I have with them which is fixed by the Atlas straps is that sometimes in order to get the hammock nice and taunt which is ideal for me I have to go around the tree, post, or whatever else I'm putting the straps on to make sure they are going be the right distance in order to get my hammock how I like it. With the Atlas straps they are the same length as the Pros but instead have double the amount of loops to hook your carabineers which makes adjusting how tight it is much easier. No matter what though these things will hold a ton of weight and will have you laying comfortable in a hammock in no time.
Good system, but stretchy

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Like most other reviews, I found these to stretch pretty bad... especially when two people jump into the double hammock. You can expect this out of nylon webbing, but it would be nice to see this design made with a spectra/dyneema blend in the future.
Other than the stretch, they are really easy to use and setup. I keep them around for the simplicity, but I prefer using webbing and paracord for a perfect, custom setup.

I would say everything about these rocks except they stretch a little too much for my liking! They are easy to set up and easy to tear down,easy to adjust if you know how. I love them just wish they stretched less.

I've tried using other straps with previous hammocks, and have always ended up having issues. They've made using these straps extremely easy, and they're also super compact, light, and durable.
Hyped on my eagle nest hammock set up :)
Makes Hammock Set-Up a Cinch!
Member since
I've had the ENO Double Nest Hammock & always struggled to rig it up using cam straps/whatever I could find. These make setting your hammock up a breeze & best of all they pack down nice & small! Was great for our recent backpacking trip in the Uintas.
Like a few other reviewers, I wish there were more attachment points, but overall I am so excited about this product! (ended up getting my husband a set too!)
Not as good as the atlas straps
Brandon Outen
Member since
I bought these for my eno hammock and was disappointed to find that the attachment points are only located every 2 feet or so , resulting in very little adjustment. If you want a super effective and quick hammock strap go with the atlas straps by Eno, it has a lot more attachment points ( every six inches or so) and doesn't seem to sag like the slap strap.
these are the way to go
Brandon Smith
Member since
These slap straps are the best for pitching the ENOs. You can rig up other systems, but these make it so simple.
Pretty necessary.
Member since
I wouldn?t have been able to set up my SingleNest or my boyfriend?s DoubleNest without these a few times. They do need to be adjusted over time as there is some sag when you're in the hammock for a long period of time. I would recommend also keeping a couple of carabiners handy to get the height just right.

Used these a few times, very disappointed in these for the price. Started sagging almost as soon as you lay on it. By the end of the night my bottom was touching the ground. Very happy with the hammock, but no go on these straps.
Stronger than it looks
Eric Brammer

At first glance I thought there's no way these things will hold me up. But it's such an ingenious design and it works flawlessly. Worth every penny, so much better than trying to rig up some rope or tie down straps.
Love them
Member since
yeah you could just buy some rope and use that to hang up your hammock but let me say this first, I'm just too damn lazy to do that. I love these straps and they are amazing. Don't drink about it, just buy them and you will be happy.
Pretty good and simple to use
Member since
These are the easiest straps for hanging up hammocks that I have ever used. It only takes a few minutes to get things set up and they're super easy to adjust. With that being said I have had some problems with slipping before. I found that if you wrap the straps around the tree twice instead of once it helps or if you can wrap them around a tree just above a branch then you won't slip down past the branch. All in all a very easy system to use that is lightweight.
Mixed Emotions
Member since
I feel the straps are inadequate. They are a single use item. I have used them and they have slipped more than once and I have ended up with my backside on the ground - not a crash and burn, just slipped down the tree. Now I use two 8 foot sections of climbing rope and simple boy scout knots to get the job done.
I guess if you are counting ounces then you'll be happy with them, they are light weight and compact and they hold the weight but if I had it to do again, I would not purchase them.

An absolute must if you buy the Eno Double Nest Hammock. Takes about 3 minutes at most to set up and get to relaxing. Fantastic design works for all size trees.
Great way to string up your hammock
Eric Taylor
Member since
They work great and there are really versatile they work great with all types of hammocks and are very sturdy. My buddy and I have hung his hammock out camping a few times using bungie cords and rope and these straps work so much better made hanging the hammock easier. Highly recommend if you are camping with a hammock. It also doesn't matter what type of hammock you have just get yourself some biners.

Gulliver senior Nicole Harris watched as the potential game-tying shot from American Heritage Boca/Delray senior Sarah Coy hit the crossbar, quickly cleared by a defender with nine minutes remaining.
"My heart dropped, to be honest," said Harris, who stood 30 yards away from the play.
Senior Madeleine Intriago tacked on an additional score five minutes later for the Raiders, who beat the Stallions 4-2 in the Class 2A regional final Tuesday night in Delray Beach.
Gulliver (20-0-4) won the Class 3A state championship in 2011 for the program's first title but moved down a classification and lost to American Heritage 5-1 in the regional final last year.
On Tuesday, the Raiders quickly took a 1-0 lead in the fourth minute off junior Samantha Lujan's tap over the goalkeeper on senior Kai-Lin Hernandez's long throw-in.
The Stallions (22-1-1), the reigning three-time state champion, evened the score in the 12th minute when Coy dribbled to the top of the box, and her strike went just past the diving goalkeeper.
Harris' strike from 30 yards out with her left foot found the top-left corner of the net, recapturing the lead for the Raiders in the 29th minute.
Lujan's second goal — from 40 yards out on another assist from Hernandez — turned out to be the game-winner with 19 minutes to go when junior Hannah Coy's rebound with 13:45 left cut the deficit to 3-2.
"I've been working all year for this game because after last year we were heartbroken because we really wanted to go to state after coming off a state championship." Lujan said.
Of that team, just two girls returned. The Raiders will host either St. Petersburg Catholic or North Palm Beach Benjamin on Friday night in the state semifinal.

• Region 4-4A final — Melbourne 4, Miami Springs 0: Miami Springs made the three-hour trip north to Melbourne for its Class 4A regional final contest against host Melbourne High School at Tom McIntyre Stadium, knowing the odds were stacked against it.
The Bulldogs, a decorated program with multiple state titles — including back-to-back in 2009 and 2010 — sporting a 22-0-1 record and stacked with eight Olympic Development players, demonstrated why they were a prohibitive favorite by dominating all night long and cruising past the Golden Hawks.
Melbourne advances to the 4A state semifinal on Friday and will host either Bradenton Lakewood Ranch or Plant City while Springs closed out its season at 17-6-4.
Perhaps hoping to get a little mojo from playing in the same stadium they won their only state title in 25 years ago to the month, it never happened for Springs as Melbourne, with superior ball-handling and blinding speed from its forwards, ran the show from the opening whistle.
"They're [Melbourne], just a great soccer team and to make matters worse, we didn't come out with very much energy and it showed early on," Springs coach William Drew said. "We tried to drop some players back and keep things close in order to offset their speed, but once they got up quick on us, things just snowballed from there."
The first goal came eight minutes into the game to give Melbourne a quick lead when Kiera McCarthy, whose apparent goal just three minutes earlier had been disallowed by an offsides call, knocked one past Springs goalkeeper Lianna Guerra. Guerra was peppered throughout the first half by numerous scoring chances for the Bulldogs before they finally made it 2-0 in the 34th minute on a Hannah DeBose goal from the right side.

Assemblywoman Rhoda Jacobs (D-Flatbush) thanked Governor Cuomo for signing her domestic violence shelter bill (A.2651-B) into law (chap .459 of 2012).
"Expecting an individual, or a family, to start a new life in 90 days is unrealistic in some cases. With the signing of this new law, the Governor recognizes what the advocates and I have already known, that victims of domestic violence deserve all the help we can provide as they recover from the damage done to them and as they try to put their lives back together," said Assembly Assistant Speaker Jacobs. "This legislation will help provide the extra support necessary for many of these victims to move forward by giving back some of the security and peace of mind they had taken away from them."
Until today, domestic violence victims could not stay in residential programs more than 90 days. Under special circumstances, those in need of emergency shelter may stay up to an additional 45 days. Ms. Jacobs' new law provides for a second, 45 day extension for an individual or family affected by domestic violence if neither the resident nor social services is able to secure safe, alternative housing.

Blades to be produced at Siemens' Tillsonburg manufacturing facility
OAKVILLE, ON, Oct. 8, 2013 /CNW/ - Siemens Canada has received an order from Samsung Renewable Energy, Inc. (Samsung) and Pattern Energy Group LP (Pattern Development) for the Grand Renewable Wind Project. Located in the County of Haldimand in southern Ontario, the Grand Renewable Energy Park will consist of 100 MW of solar power and 150 MW of wind power. Under the agreement, Siemens will supply, deliver and commission sixty-seven (67) SWT-2.3-101 wind turbines. The deal also includes a three-year service and maintenance agreement.
All of the 49-metre wind turbine blades for the project will be manufactured at the Siemens facility in Tillsonburg, Ontario, where blade production is currently running near capacity with close to 275 employees. Towers and steel for the turbines will be sourced from CS Wind in Windsor and Essar in Sault Ste. Marie as part of the commitment to the green energy economy in the Province of Ontario. Deliveries to the project will begin in January 2014 and commercial operation at the Grand Renewable Energy Park is expected to begin by fall of next year.
The Grand Renewable Wind Project is the second Samsung and Pattern Development project in Ontario under the Green Energy Investment Agreement for which Siemens Canada has been selected to supply and commission wind turbines. Earlier this year Siemens was awarded a 270-MW order for the South Kent Wind project in Chatham-Kent. Turbine blades for that project began shipping to the site in July 2013 with the start of operation expected for spring 2014.

Acting Ethically: Behavior and the Sustainable Society
Date: August 2007
Creator: Sewell, Patrick
Description: One of the most important factors for creating the sustainable society is that the individuals in that society behave in an environmentally sustainable fashion. Yet achieving appropriate behavior in any society is difficult, and the challenge is no less with regards to sustainability. Three of the most important factors for determining behavior have recently been highlighted by psychologists: personal efficacy, social influence, and internal standards. Because these three factors play a prominent role in behavior, it is necessary to examine what role they play in creating sustainability and how they may be utilized to achieve optimal behavior patterns. Ultimately, in order to achieve sustainability solutions must focus on individual action, realistic governmental regulation, and sustained, direct encounters with the natural world. While much time and energy has been spent on social influence and personal efficacy, less has been devoted to internal standards and this area needs more attention if there is to be any realistic attempt at creating proper behavior patterns.

Approaches to Nature Aesthetics: East Meets West
Date: December 2002
Creator: Toyoda, Mitsuyo
Description: Nature aesthetics is examined as an approach to environmental ethics. The characteristics of proper nature appreciation show that every landscape can be appreciated impartially in light of the dynamic processes of nature. However, it is often claimed that natural beauty decreases if humans interfere into nature. This claim leads to the separation of human culture and nature, and limits the number of landscapes which can be protected in terms of aesthetic value. As a solution to this separation, a non-dualistic Japanese aesthetics is examined as a basis for the achievement of the coexistence of culture and nature. Ecological interrelationships between human culture and nature are possible by means of an aesthetic consciousness in terms of non-hierarchical attitudes.

Situating Cost-Benefit Analysis for Environmental Justice
Date: December 2010
Creator: Wohlmuth, Erik Michael
Description: Cost-benefit analysis plays a significant role in the process of siting hazardous waste facilities throughout the United States. Controversy regarding definitively disparate, albeit unintentional, racist practices in reaching these siting decisions abounds, yet cost-benefit analysis stands incapable of commenting on normative topics. This thesis traces the developments of both cost-benefit analysis and its normative cousin utilitarianism by focusing on the impacts they have had on the contemporary environmental justice discourse and highlighting valid claims, misunderstandings, and sedimented ideas surrounding the popularity of cost-benefit analysis. This analysis ultimately leads to an alternative means of realizing environmental justice that both acknowledges the need for greater democratic interactions and attempts to work with, rather than against, the prevailing paradigm of reaching siting decisions.

Earth Tones: How Environmental Journalism and Environmental Ethics Influence Environmental Citizenship
Date: August 2007
Creator: Wall, Don
Description: Environmental ethics and environmental journalism are influencing the developing philosophy of environmental citizenship. This philosophy involves the ideas that people are part of the environment, that the future depends on a healthy environment, and that action on behalf of the environment is necessary. It applies to individuals, communities, large and small companies and corporations, governments, and a coalition of nations. Environmental philosophers and environmental journalists can work together, in a symbiotic way, to foster discussions among citizens and policy makers about ideas as well as events, and thus, influence attitudes and policies, and continue to influence environmental citizenship. Environmental citizenship as an extension of democracy offers the best chance for undoing the manmade problems which are degrading the quality of life on Earth. A healthier environment is the will of the people. An informed, voting public will succeed in creating a healthier environment. Pioneering work by philosophers and journalists, especially over the last forty-five years has brought the dialogue about environmental problems to an unprecedented level and continues to offer encouragement to the mindful evolution of mankind. These ecological discussions of rights and responsibilities, intrinsic and economic values, pragmatism and utilitarianism, culture and spirit, are increasingly being applied to a ...

A New Approach to Texas Groundwater Management: An Environmental Justice Argument to Challenge the Rule of Capture
Date: December 2005
Creator: Purvis, Jody
Description: Texas is the last remaining state to utilize the rule of capture, a doctrine based on English Common Law, as a means of regulating groundwater resources. Many of the western states originally used the rule of capture to regulate their groundwater resources, but over time, each of these states replaced the rule of capture with other groundwater laws and regulations. The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) State Water Plan, Water for Texas-2002, warned Texans if current water usage and laws do not change, there will be an unmet need of 7.5 million acre-feet of water annually by 2050. This caused individuals in state and local government to begin asking the question, "How are we going to meet our future water needs?" In the search for a solution to the water shortage problem people have divided themselves into two groups: one wants to consider the implementation of water conservation measures to reduce per capita water use in order to meet future demands; while the other group wants to spend millions of dollars to build reservoirs and dams along with laying thousands of miles of pipeline to move water around the state. The fact that Texas has yet to come up with ...

Private Property in America: Land Use and the Ethics of Owning Land
Date: December 2005
Creator: Grant, Elizabeth Michelle
Description: Private property in the United States arose out of a tradition that emphasized the individual freedom to control holdings without interference from governmental influences. A sharp distinction between society as a whole and individual rights isolated ownership of private property from a notion of the common good. This dualistic framework excludes the possibility for forms of property that do not fall completely into either category. Property ownership attitudes are central to issues that often divide environmentalists and landowners. Property rights must be put in the context to understand the divergence between landowner attitudes and provisions made when the institution of private property was created. Finally, land itself as a type of property should be considered ethically distinct from other forms of property because of the interdependencies of human and nonhuman interests that the science of ecology has revealed.

Toward a philosophy of water: Politics of the pollution and damming along the Ganges River.
Date: May 2007
Creator: McAnally, Elizabeth Ann
Description: This thesis sets out to develop a beginning of a philosophy of water by considering philosophical implications of ecological crises currently happening along the waters of the Ganges River. In my first chapter, I give a historical account of a philosophy of water. In my second chapter, I describe various natural and cultural representations of the Ganges, accounting for physical features of the river, Hindu myths and rituals involving the river, and ecological crises characterized by the pollution and damming of the river. In my third and final chapter, I look into the philosophical implications of these crises in terms of the works of the contemporary philosopher Bruno Latour.

Toward an Ecofeminist Environmental Jurisprudence: Nature, Law, and Gender
Date: August 1999
Creator: Mallory, Chaone
Description: This thesis develops a legal theory reflecting the insights of feminism and environmental philosophy. I argue that human beings are not ontologically separate, but embedded in webs of relationality with natural others. My primary purposes are to 1) delineate ways in which institutions of modernity (such as law and science) have precipitated ecosocial crisis through the attempt to dialectically enforce mastery and control over nature and women; and 2) explore alternate political forms and ontologies which challenge the classical liberalist view of the (human) individual as a radically isolated, discrete, autonomous being. My overarching theme is that law functions as a narrative that can both hinder and enhance the promotion of ecological ideas, and how ecofeminism can contribute to transformative projects of environmental philosophy and feminist law.

The Environmental is Political: Exploring the Geography of Environmental Justice
Date: August 2010
Creator: Mysak, Mark
Description: The dissertation is a philosophical approach to politicizing place and space, or environments broadly construed, that is motivated by three questions. How can geography be employed to analyze the spatialities of environmental justice? How do spatial concepts inform understandings of environmentalism? And, how can geography help overcome social/political philosophy's redistribution-recognition debate in a way that accounts for the multiscalar dimensions of environmental justice? Accordingly, the dissertation's objective is threefold. First, I develop a critical geography framework that explores the spatialities of environmental injustices as they pertain to economic marginalization across spaces of inequitable distribution, cultural subordination in places of misrecognition, and political exclusion from public places of deliberation and policy. Place and space are relationally constituted by intricate networks of social relations, cultural practices, socioecological flows, and political-economic processes, and I contend that urban and natural environments are best represented as "places-in-space." Second, I argue that spatial frameworks and environmental discourses interlock because conceptualizations of place and space affect how environments are perceived, serve as framing devices to identify environmental issues, and entail different solutions to problems. In the midst of demonstrating how the racialization of place upholds inequitable distributions of pollution burdens, I introduce notions of "social location" and ...

Tracing the Path of Sustainable Development through Major International Conferences: A Brief History and Overview of Sustainable Development 1964-2002
Date: May 2010
Creator: Dunn, Benjamin P.
Description: Starting with the idea that unsustainable practices contribute to issues of social justice and poverty as much as to ecological issues. Chapter 1 traces the origins of the terms sustainable and development individually to see how it is that they came together. Chapter 2 traces the major international conferences and documents and their use of the terms sustainable development. Chapter 3 takes a phenomenology approach to get a bit deeper into sustainable development. I examine the most commonly cited definition of sustainable development as well as a broader definition of sustainable development as a process of change. Chapter 4 examines the field of environmental ethics and argues that constant debates over value distract policy makers from the central question of what morally motivates people to support environmental ethics views. Chapter 5 examines the institution and regime building process, and the conclusion offers three questions to measure our progress.

How to boot into a specific Linux runlevel by default
If you don't already know, a runlevel is what Linux uses as a mode of operation. A 'runlevel' defines the state of the operating system after power on.
Typically, Linux runlevels look like the following:
- 0 – Halt (shutdown)
- 1 – Single-User mode
- 2-5 – Full multi-user mode with console logins and display manager if it's installed
- 6 – Reboot
On most Linux servers, the default runlevel will be set to runlevel 3. Multi-user mode and console logins only. Whereas, most Linux desktops, the default runlevel will be set to runlevel 5.
If you want to boot into a specific runlevel every time your computer turns on, all you need to do is edit the /etc/inittab. For this example, we will change the runlevel from 3 to 5.
# vi /etc/inittab
Modify the line that looks like this:
And change the number 3, to 5.
Save the file. Next time you reboot Linux will boot directly into your desktop window manager.

Command line tool for the Google services
Today Google announced GoogleCL which is a tool designed to bring some of the Google services to the command line.
For most people using Ubuntu Karmic (9.10) or newer, installation should be very simple:
- sudo apt-get install python-gdata
- [download .deb package]
- sudo dpkg -i googlecl*.deb
Here are some example scripts:
- google calendar add "Dinner party with George today at 6pm" # add event to calendar
- google calendar today # List events for today only.
- google calendar list --date 2010-06-01,2010-06-30 # List events.
- google calendar delete --title "Dinner party with George" # Delete an event.
- google contacts add "J. Random Hacker, email@example.com"
- google contacts list name,email --title "J. Random Hacker"
- google contacts delete --title "J. Random Hacker"
The possibilities of GoogleCL are definitely going to expand, and I can already think of some useful ways to incorporate these into some scripts of mine.

Dell says Ubuntu is safer than Windows – Then retracts the statement
Yesterday, as first reported by The VAR Guy, if you would have went to Dell.com/Ubuntu, you would have seen a "top 10″ list of "things you should know about Ubuntu." The best one on the list at the time was number 6, which stated:
6) Ubuntu is safer than Microsoft Windows The vast majority of viruses and spyware written by hackers are not designed to target and attack Linux.
Today, if you visit the same Dell.com/Ubuntu, you'll see the following change:
6) Ubuntu is secure According to industry reports, Ubuntu is unaffected by the vast majority of viruses and spyware.
Pretty comical huh? Many of us in the Linux industry are claiming that this is probably an evil doing of Microsoft pressuring Dell to 'correct' the statement. Which, really, would not surprise me the least bit.
I suppose I understand why Dell changed their tune, but in actuality, the first statement was nothing but a simple true fact.
What do you guys think? Should Dell have kept their ground?

I love Keith and the Winos, but also wish that the 2 studio albums were remastered with extra tracks, or in deluxe format with a second disc.
Watching those Winos clips and seeing relaxed, concentrated, music-oriented Keith Richards I seriously think that The Stones should have called it quits at least after URBAN JNGLE tour. That is so much better and charming than the posing Keef of the Stones shows acting his Captain Kidd to Peter Pan (credits to 71Tele) and playing the same old songs and riffs again and again. And I would say the same argument for Jagger as well if we look his solo concerts. They both seem to enjoy much more and being affected by the muse. Both of them seem to have artistically lost so much inside the golden cage of of The Rolling Stones, and in trying to stand each other's ego.
But I guess the cruel business side of the things 'forced' them to stuck them together. They didn't have afford to go solo, as absurd as it might sound. But it is clear that especially Keith should needed to get used to quite different level of success and circles if he would have continued as a solo artist. Maybe that kind of 'cult' name wouldn't have been enough for him, after being used to a kind of superstar league for ages.

I was at the show in Cologne. It was on TV starting a little bit later than the concert, so I could catch the end on TV when I arrived home. Recorded it on VHS with my parents recorder.
After the show I waited for Keith and he walked out of the press conference he gave afterwards wearing a skull scarf and sunglasses sayin hi to the few fans that were waiting (only about ten because some security told us that Keith has already left so most of the fans left to.But there were flashlights all the time from a room with closed curtains so I thought Keith might still be there... and he was). A couple that also waited outside jumped in their VW Beetle and followed Keith's van. Rudolf Schenker of the band "Scorpions" also attended the show and left before Keith, greeting fans before getting in his Mercedes Benz and driving away.
I was there too. The last concert I saw at the Sporthalle, before it was torn down. Quite vividly remember the moments before the show began, the candlestick on stage, and then Keith just walked on stage, said hi to everybody, and off they went.

Hi Greenblues! I made the front row (right in front of Waddy Wachtel) and the concert was one of my best live experiences. But the reason for what I`m posting here is following:
Keith didn`t enter the stage and just said hi. The cool thing was: the band came on stage in the darkness , just the candlestick and sat down on the ground in a circle to smoke a joint. Then after nearly a minute they stood up and he said hi. You can see it on tv: they enter the stage and for a little while nothing happens. That´s the moment where they sit on the ground. What a cool beginning!
Never forget this one. Tom
And it really was a very cool show!

Let's take a honest look at what's happening with many entrepreneurs. They are not investing in themselves. When you think about it, almost every successful person has had a coach or mentor. Coaching can be expensive if you are counting your dollars every step of the way. Coaching is actually an investment if the right coach is hired! I am sure most have entered into business ventures that yield no return on their investment. Money lost and not invested is a sad state of affairs!

I have avoided using for about seven weeks now to avoid doing serious damage. When it does get irritated I feel it almost all the way down my forearm. Had x-rays done and it isn't bone. I've recently started using about 6g cissus from 1Fast, thought that might help. This injury is really testing me and i'm about to freak out, I just want to lift. Any advice would be helpful.

Fox Conditioning
25 April 2008
Those of you who checked out our previous instalment of Animal Diaries would have read about some of the conditioning work we do with Teela, our dromedary camel. But conditioning training doesn't stop there, and some of the more recent work we've been doing with our shy little foxes has involved exactly the same sort of training! You see, the diets of all of our animals are constantly under review and consideration, as we are constantly keeping our eyes and ears open for any ways to keep our animals happier and healthier with regards to what they eat. Part of Kit and Roxy's most recent diet review has involved keeping a close eye on their weight, after all, as many of us are aware, diet schedules and body weights just go hand in hand!
Looking for a way to be able to regularly, easily assess the foxes weights, we decided that the first step was to buy them their own personal set of scales, and a set of regular electronic bathroom scales was just the trick. The next step was of course to introduce the scales to the foxes. Being cautious little creatures, Kit and Roxy needed to meet this new piece of equipment on their terms and in a completely positive way. So for the first week or so, the scales simply became a discreet new furnishing of their den, frequently sporting a few tasty treats on top like peanuts and dried cranberries. When the girls became quite used to their new treat dispenser, it was time to step things up a notch, and try to encourage them to actually stand on it! Easier said then done. You'd be amazed at what lengths Kit and Roxy would go to, to avoid standing on the scales.
Licking off treats is one thing, but actually putting their precious paws into contact with this silly smooth white device was another matter entirely. Moving around in circles, jumping over them, stretching out to stand with their front paws on one side and back paws on the other with only their bellies hanging over the scales, and even resorting to jumping onto our shoulders and trying to climb down our arms rather than actually get onto the scales! You would think we were asking them to step into a dish of hot coals! Talk about being weight conscious.A solution came in the form of the all-purpose milk crate, the top of which being absolutely perfect dimensions to sit a set of bathroom scales on. Suddenly, Kit and Roxy couldn't stretch over the top; in order to reach the treats placed right in the centre, our little foxy ladies realised they just might have to put their front paws up! With a lot of gentle coaxing and encouragement, we finally managed to convince the girls that bathroom scales don't bite, and before long we had both of them readily perching on top of the scales (on top of a milk crate) to earn their rewards.
Getting accurate weights of our little foxes is now a very simple, efficient task that we can undertake as often as we like, and the girls are more than willing to oblige. Their new diet is going wonderfully, and both Kit and Roxy have been maintaining ideal body weights... 'weigh' to go, girls!

You may create a menu item, or category, for pictures. These can be pictures of your family members, pictures from a travel trip, or pictures of your business exterior and interior.
Your picture category will contain several albums of photos; each album is a slide show. These pictures in a slide show can still be viewed as a single picture.
Before adding a slide show, you must first add a category for this kind of content.
In this example, you will add a category named "Photos" to the English section and put it after "Writings" in the Left Menu. Here is how to do it.
A. Login the Control Panel as usual.
B. Click "Website Manager" on the top menu. Then, select "Categories" in the drop down list. You may, instead, click on the Categories icon in the center area.
C. Select which language site to manage.
You are going to add category "Photos" to the English site, so you will click on the box near the upper left corner and select "English Site".
You will see a list of existing categories.
D. Click the "Record Edit" button near the upper right corner of the screen. A blank record will appear.
We see that the parent category "Left Menu" is at the bottom of this page. Since this list contains 2 pages, the "child" categories of "Left Menu" will be on page 2. You may click on the small square with the number 2 inside to view other categories. Or, you can select the number in the box marked as "Records/Page" to a larger number to view more categories per page. Click on the arrow and select 15. The list will look like this.You will place "Photos" category is under "Writings" and above "About Us".
E. Click the "Record Edit" button near the upper right corner of the screen. A blank record will appear
F. Click the "New" button if the record is not blank. Otherwise, go on to the next step.
G. Please focus on the 3 essential data: Parent, Title and Content Type.
1. Parent. Select "Left Menu" here.
2. Title. Fill in "Photos" here.
3. Content Type. Select "Slide Show" here.
You do not need to concern about other data at this moment.
The record would look like this.H. Click the "Add" button at the top or bottom of this screen. The message "Data Added Successfully!" will appear near the upper left corner.
I. Next, change the order of this category so that it will come after "Writings". Find the Order box in the Properties group. Click on the arrow at the end of the box; then select "After : Writings" in the drop down list. The new category will come after Writing.
J. Click the "Update" button at the top or bottom of the screen. The message "Update Successful!" will appear near upper left corner.
K. Go to your website and check if the item "Photos" has been added to the Left Menu and if comes after "Writings". You must refresh the web page. Click the "Refresh" button of your browser, or hit the "F5" key on your keyboard.

Pepsi is "auditioning" 4 new flavors...
Im guessing the FREEZE and DRAGON are the Pepsi FIRE and ICE types that were released in Asia... no idea what GOLD or the other one is like. I imagine its not the same PEPSI GOLD that was in Mexico (since the only difference was color).
Does anyone know anymore info on the flavors?

In 1998, the United Nations declared year 2001 as the UN Year of Dialogue among Civilizations. This paper serves as a modest attempt in that spirit, with focus on the evolution of social thought in medieval Islam and its influence upon the Latin-West. The paper argues that the European Renaissance depended critically upon the intellectual armory, itself built upon the rediscovered Greek heritage, acquired through knowledge transfer from the early Islamic Civilisation. The mainstream literary paradigm, however, tends to neglect those connections, or at best, grudgingly acknowledges them but remotely and peripherally. Further, the paper documents the extensive influence upon Latin-European scholarship provided through the writings of several key Islamic scholastics. Briefly covered are the works of Al-Kindi, Al-Razi, Al-Farabi, Ibn Sina, Al-Ghazali, and, especially, Ibn Rushd, the Islamic Aristotle, whose contributions revolutionised the Church-dominated, authoritarian mold of medieval Europe. With extensive documentation and some quotes from well-known medievalists, the paper calls for greater integration of such civilisational connections in literary history so that, among other things, we can better understand the contemporary confrontational global environment.
For much of the millennium before the rise of Portugal and Spain, Venice flourished as the hub of Europe's trade with the lands to its east and south. The profound mutual influences that resulted have inspired multiple scholars and historians to cast fresh looks at Venice and its history during pre-modern and modern times, as a meeting point for commerce and culture, especially with the Muslim World.
The book Arabic into Latin in the Middle Ages: The Translators and their Intellectual and Social Context by Charles Burnett is a collection of previously published articles on the transmission of Arabic learning to Europe. It concentrates on the identity of the Latin translators and the context in which they were working. The articles are arranged in roughly chronological order, beginning with the earliest known translations from Arabic at the end of the 10th century, and continues until the transfer of the translation activity to Frederick II's entourage in the 13th-century Sicily.
The following essay aims to alert communities as to the particular significance of the Muslim civilisation and its historical role in contributing to the birth of modern civilisation. The author, Professor Salim Al-Hassani, a specialist of Muslim Heritage and a pioneer of its defense, focuses first on various instances of distorted history in scholarship, school curricula and media culture. He shows how unjustified is the suppression of centuries of history from history books and how the jump from Hellenistic times to Renaissance is rather the manifestation of ignorance and misconceptions. Presenting selected examples, he then proves that this suppressed period, belonging to the classical period of the history of Islam, and which lasted for about a millennium, knew a creative contribution to civilisation by men and women of different faiths. Those knowledge, science and art creators built on ancient knowledge and were the drive of one of the richest periods of history in terms of science, culture, technology and art.

Plating is everywhere around us. It is used in every industry and every field today, and interestingly plating has numerous benefits that cannot be denied. Plating has different forms and different types each one of them having its own unique features, characteristics and benefits. Nickel plating is one of the widely used types of plating with lots of benefits. We see nickel plated products and materials around us at our homes, offices, roads, shipping malls and everywhere.
When a metal or material plated with a coating of nickel, the material is said to be plated with nickel. Usually a thin layer of nickel is plated over certain materials and products to change the chemical as well as physical characteristics of the material.
Some of the major benefits of nickel plating include:
- One of the major advantages of nickel plating is that it protects the material from all types of chemical and physical changes over time. The material coated with nickel remains safe from surroundings.
- Bright nickel is used to decorate materials and is extensively used in decoration industry. Besides decoration, bright nickel plating is also used to keep metals safe from reactions and physical changes.
- Semi-bright nickel is very ductile and flexible; hence it can be used in any way.
- Uniform coating can be easily achieved with nickel coating and this is the reason that it is extensively used in automotive and defense industry.
- It can sustain high friction. Nickel plating has very high wear resistance and hence it is widely used in different machineries.
- Since nickel plating is very flexible, hence the thickness and volume of the plating can be changed as per needs quite easily without much effort.
Nickel plated materials are used everywhere around us perhaps the best use of nickel plating is in the decorative industry. Bright nickel is famous for its shine and brightness and hence it is used for decorating various décor products. Besides nickel plating; gold plating, tin plating, copper plating and aluminum plating are also pretty famous, and are used widely in industries today. Plating is one of the best inventions of human kind.

Only people she wants to shoot call her Neena (luckbealady) wrote in ridgewayresort, @ 2012-04-18 21:30:00 |
Entry tags: | domino |
Who: Domino and Cable
Where: The beach
When: Yesterday afternoon
What: Watching penguins, sparring
Warnings: Probable
Status: Single, not looking
Domino was watching for Nathan. She didn't want him to surprise her, though she didn't try overly hard to ambush him. She had her guns strapped down out of the way and her tonfas out, ready for melee combat. She assumed he wouldn't be sniping her, mostly because it was unsporting.
A group of fans were watching idly, but Domino didn't pay them any attention. They weren't important, and the were definitely in for a show.
She was wearing her X-men uniform, still, so she would be afforded some protection from Nathan's blows. Not that she really thought she needed it.

Consequences (if Any) Of Css Image Replacement For Headers
Posted 30 April 2008 - 09:50 PM
Having finally learned how to use CSS a year or so ago, I redesigned all my sites using this method. Oftentimes, I use images to replace headers, due to the design leeway it offers with fonts especially, and also because the H! html text can differ from the image text.Usually the method I use is the something akin to the following example:

Header 1

h1 {
#welcome h1 {background-image: url(images/h1/h1_welcome.gif);
#about h1 {background-image: url(images/h1/h1_about.gif);}
In the above example, the html h1 text might actually read something like 'welcome to the san fransico center for treating chronic acne and skin care problems' whereas the image may just have the word 'welcome' in a special font.
Is this method of negatively indented text considered sneaky and punishable by the search engines? An SEO expert told me if was fine, since when you turn of all CSS styling, the page reads clearly and logically by the browser, and the h1 html text shows - but i'm suspicious, since it would seem that this method might be adopted for use in paragraph text and such by black hat SEO's...
I'll be very grateful for anyone's advice/input/suggestions, and will be especially hopeful for some genuinely expert knowledge.
Posted 01 May 2008 - 03:42 AM
* [...]
* Including text behind an image
* Using CSS to hide text
You are showing different text to the users and the search engines. What do you think yourself?
Posted 01 May 2008 - 07:18 AM
The negative text indentation could raise a red flag. I wouldn't go that route if you feel you need to use image replacement. Instead it would be better to use the Fahrner Image Replacement that doesn't use negative indentation.
Posted 01 May 2008 - 10:16 AM
My response: Oooh Nooooooooooooo !!!!!!! why !!!!!!!!! the method is so clean and I used it on all my sites.
Now i'm mad at all the sources that suggested it was OK (including the SEO expert!)
Does anyone else have any input on this topic?
I'm not familiar with the Fahrner Image Replacement method - I'll have to go investigate.
Posted 01 May 2008 - 02:28 PM
Use the same words in your images and that would be fine.
Posted 01 May 2008 - 05:26 PM
This seems completely odd to me.... As intelligent as the algorythms (sp), spiders and robots are, they are not human eyes, so how on earth would they tell if the images were the same as the text?
Am I right to assume your answer is based on moral judgement? While i respect where that sentiment originates, your solution doesn't remove the negatively indented text, and so it's not particularly helpful or based on fact based conclusions. If my image includes the word 'welcome!' with a lot of intricate flowers and graphics, but the actual text that's negatively indented is 'welcome to the san francisco gardens and nurseries' , how would the spiders know???
If i disable the CSS for any of the sites I've built, it reads perfectly to the user, and I'm fine with the text that becomes visible. However, much of the time, it makes more SEO sense to include highly descriptive headers in places where visually it's just not neccesary once the user is at the site, and design-wise, something simpler and more minimal is preferred.
There must be a conclusive answer on this somewhere (for negatively indented text in particular) - although i've trapsed around the web a thousand times and found nothing.

I believe what Jill is referring to is that if/when the negative indentation raises a red flag and causes the algo to kick out a request for human review, the human will see that the text says the same thing as the image. Thus it's not as sneaky as it might appear on the surface.
That said, there are some bits of software out there that can analyze images. Looking for text in images is probably the easiest thing for those to do, if they engines decided to automate the process a bit more.
Posted 01 May 2008 - 07:29 PM
I certainly hope my reply wasn't presumptuos or unappreciative - it was simply me wanting to clarify our perspectives.
Hmm....so ordinarily when there's a red flag it goes to a human for review and doesn't just get booted?
do you think that if my image says much the same as my text that it'd be ok.... it's not like i'm putting an image of a big black box on a black background, but hiding a ton of H1 keywords that don't relate to my site.........
although i'm certainly nervous of the consequences of this method...since i literally redid all mysites like this
I'm going to PM you an example of one of my sites to get your opinion (if that's ok??????)
Posted 01 May 2008 - 07:36 PM
The answer is a solid It Depends. Which doesn't help you much I know.
As a very general rule Google at least do not apply hand penalties. (Other engines do.) However this doesn't mean they don't have real people look at what's happening so that they can tweak their algorithm, or have real people look at sites that might get caught up in something they're doing that closely resembles what someone nefarious has come up with, where the reviewer can remove the penalty. Confusing hunh?
Google doesn't apply hand penalties. But they can hand remove penalties. And they can look at something that raises a red flag and send it off to their algo team to develop an automated catcher application.
Yahoo! is another story. They'll apply hand penalties if they feel it's warrented. As will most of the others.
Posted 02 May 2008 - 10:27 AM
I'm not talking about whether they can tell or not. We don't work on the "what we can get away with" principle around here.
Which is why I didn't say the search engines would catch you. I simply said that it would perhaps be considered search engine spam.
If you are of the type that is only worried about what you can get away with and not get caught, then go for it. Personally, I sleep better simply doing the right thing whenever I can.
Posted 02 May 2008 - 10:43 AM
I'm a web designer who primarily works with individuals and small businesses (as opposed to huge companies) and I'm trying to give them SEO as well, the best i can, and for free (till i know what i'm doing). I feel like I'm giving the website surfer the best information i can, and sometimes one visual thing works better over another.
I thought i outlined explicitly that I wasn't trying to trick anyone, not the user or the search engine. Far from it. I want to try and optimize their site but not hurt them in the process, and hopefully maintain quality design. If i have to compromise design for better seo then so be it... but I'd rather not.
My comment on morality was simply for clarification purposes, and not an attack on you . I couldn't really have made that any clearer (IMO).
My curiosity about what the search engines can and can't see, and questions specifically related to this topic, help me understand the whole topic of SEO more thoroughly.
Although I have researched you and discovered your quite at the top of your game, and highly respected and knowledgeable. Purely for the purposes of providing feedback, your one line answers, while entirely appreciated (sincerely) aren't often so helpful as those with a little explanation.
I thank you for all your input and time, and for allowing me to use these forums.

They can see anything that is in the html source code of the page. And linking relationships too. Though honestly it's not so much what they can see as it is what they'll pay attention to.
As it relates directly to this topic, of course they can see the negative indentation because it has to be there in the code. Why it might raise a red flag is that such negative indentation is something that's often abused by spammers to stuff more keywords into their content, without the average user ever being able to see that it's there.
If you seriously need to have the H1 content behind an image there are other ways to do it that are completely legit. Though honestly you probably don't even need that in the first place.

I had a copy of the University of Utah's New 09-2010 Open Carry policy leaked to me. I am hosting it over on my blog here: http://www.utahopencarry.com/
You can download the PDF's of the 2009 and 2010 Policy from my site. I know that these issues are being addressed, but it never hurts to contact the AG, you Reps and Senator.
Last year in 2009 the University of Utah updated their Policy in dealing with people who Open Carry within 1000′ of campus. This policy applies to more than students and staff, but anyone who comes within 1/4 mile of campus. It is important to remember that other Utah Colleges follow the UofU in policy. This policy does effect many people living in the state.
To give a little legal background, Utah has a "Uniform Firearm Law" that only State Law may dictate firearm policy. This keeps the law uniform whether in the city, county, or campus. This law, in effect, makes any firearm policies that are outside state law non-enforceable.
The Uniform Law was used to protect Conceal Carry at College in Utah. The University of Utah had a heated legal battle with the Attorney General Mark Shurtleff. Result, the Uniform Law protects our second amendment rights from policies coming from non-elected officials.
So back in Sept 2009, the University of Utah released a revised Open Carry Policy for UofU police and security. Among the changes were the removal of "protective laws" cited and the emphasis on those laws that can be used to "throw the book". It also cited their policy was given power by a opinion letter from the AG's office (another story).
Come Fall 2010, I had the new UofU Policy leaked to me. The changes are even more disturbing. Knowing that the Attorney General was in opposition to the "Opinion Letter", any reference to their acting under direction of the AG's Office was removed. This is an attempt to gain law enforcement powers and remove a achilles heel from their bad policy.
The worse part goes beyond Firearm Laws. It a further example of the University's reliance on inside legal council in giving direction to their appointed Chief of Campus Police. The result is that the Attorney General and District Attorney has surrendered their law enforcement powers to the University's lawyers. If the UofU Police force or Chief refuse to obey an illegal order, they will be fired. That a minute to think about this. How does this apply to other Constitutionally Protected Rights?
What do you think? This is a large issue. I encourage you to pass these documents around. Please download them from my site. I've ensured that the quality has remained high on the new policy PDF.
