Juicy Couture Frame Clutch, Handbag of the Day
Filed under: Handbags
I don't generally go for Juicy Couture, but this bag caught my eye. I think it is the subtle pink color peeking out beneath the gold metallic leather that gives this bag a touch of unexpected sophistication. That, and the fact that the leather itself isn't blindingly bright. With a flirty little bow and classic kiss-lock closure, this clutch would actually look good on an adult. And at $95, you could get it in both silver and gold.

Silexx Financial Systems — Obsidian Trading Platform
Web site: www.silexx.com/obsidian
Requirements: Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, 7, .NET Framework 3.5, 1GB RAM
Price: 14-day free trial. $200.00 per month for basic version, $400.00 per month for "Pro" version
Overall Rating: 3.75 out of 4
Silexx's flagship product, "Obsidian," is a comprehensive trading system to interface with the market, including risk management systems, full execution systems for a variety of securities including options, stocks and futures. In addition, Obsidian also includes the ability to create quote boards and numerous charting features such as technical indicators and varying time periods.
The company has integrated the Obsidian trading platform into several trading platforms including Penson, Bank of America/Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, Dash Financial and Interactive Brokers. The Silexx website notes that they can offer custom solutions with other firms to meet the client's needs.
Installation, documentation and support: 3.5 out of 4
After creating an account at the Silexx website, the user is given a link to download the Obsidian platform. The installation proceeds very quickly with a minimum of user options. Upon completion of installation, an Obsidian icon will appear on the user's desktop. Launching the program is as simple as clicking on the icon and entering a user name and password.
The Silexx website offers several video tutorials that cover many of the various modules of Obsidian. The tutorials are very well presented and serve as a step-by-step guide for new users. The website indicates that a new set of video tutorials will be available soon. In addition to the videos, Silexx also offers nearly 20 "manuals" covering various aspects of the trading platform. These are not written manuals to print off, but rather on-screen walk-throughs. For example, one of the manuals covers "Order Tickets." In this section the user is shown, via screen prints of the actual program, how to place an order with the Obsidian system. Before launching into the program, it would be time well spent to browse through each of the manuals, as Obsidian has plenty of layers and complexities.
For those who are interested in such details, a complete set of "Release Notes" also is available on the Silexx website. As each version of Obsidian is updated, the changes are documented in the appropriate Release Note.
For more specific user support, the developers of Obsidian are available via telephone and email.
Features: 4 out of 4
Obsidian is, at its heart, a trading platform. But, because it incorporates several features not always found in other similarly labeled products, it is much more. As with any trading platform, you would expect to find the ability to create quote screens and some level of charting capabilities. Obsidian's charting is impressive because it includes dozens of predefined technical indicators such as MACD, Bollinger Bands and various moving averages. Each indicator's parameters can be customized by the user. A nice feature of the charting is the ability to link the quote board so that with a simple click on a security, its chart automatically opens. Chart types include candlesticks, bar and line, with each scalable from one-minute to monthly intervals.
The Obsidian platform consists of a series of modules, each of which opens a new window that can be resized and customized to the user's preference. The modules include: Option Chain, Quote Board, Time & Sales, Order Book, Trade Activity, Alerts, Order Ticket, Position Analyzer, Volatility Skew, Earnings, and Option Calculator, among others. (The "Pro" version includes additional modules such as News and Option Spread Maker.) By having each module open in a separate window, the user is able to create a fully customized desktop with only the desired information appearing. This ability allows for a truly unique user experience – certainly a highly desirable trait in the trading world.
Of course, with any trading platform order placement is of utmost importance. Obsidian has all the bases covered on this front. From simple limit orders to complex option entries, Obsidian is equipped to handle any variation thrown its way. Especially impressive is the ability to "Reserve" an order, which limits how much of the order is displayed on the exchange order book (e.g., you want to place an order for 10,000 shares but only want to display 1,000 on the order book). Equally compelling are the built-in options strategies. Creating iron condors, covered calls and spreads (calendar, horizontal, diagonal, etc.) is as simple as clicking on the strategy and populating the fields. This is not only a time-saver, but it greatly reduces the chances of entering a trade incorrectly.
The ability to download detailed information for every trade into Excel (or other compatible programs) is a feature that will be appreciated by traders who like to analyze their historical results for various reasons, be they tax-related or simply as a way to measure trading performance. Additionally, Obsidian also incorporates the ability to set alerts and audio notifications to signal when a trade has been executed, or a certain price action has occurred.
This only scratches the surface of the many features within Obsidian. Each module offers the user essentially a stand-alone program with many additional features within. With so much information at one's fingertips it is wise to poke around a bit with the software to get a feel for all it can do before actually trading an account.
Silexx Financial Systems has created a very polished and user-friendly trading platform that should meet the needs of virtually any trader regardless of sophistication or security preference. Obsidian is very intuitive, highly customizable and quite extensive in the modules offered. Initially, many users may find that the numerous modules are overwhelming, and perhaps not even use most of them, but the benefit of Obsidian is that as your trading experience increases, the trading platform will grow with you and reveal additional features to enhance the trading experience.

ASUS Republic of Gamers Formula X Overclocking Event
Par. Jake Crimmins Posté Jul 07th 2011
This past weekend ASUS® held the ASUS Republic of Gamers Formula X event at Fry's Electronics in Sunnyvale, CA. They invited 20 of the top overclockers from the United States, to overclock live in the parking lot. ASUS provided 2300 liters of liquid nitrogen, and tons of hardware to break world records with! This event was unlike most overclocking events, because it was a freestyle event. The overclockers were able to run any benchmark they wanted.
That's a lot of liquid nitrogen!!
Extreme overclocker Gautam Bhatnagar decided to go for the 3DMark05 world record. To take the world record he used 4 ATI Radeon™ HD 5870 graphics cards on an ASUS Rampage III Extreme Black Edition. For the processor he used an Intel® Core™ i7-990X Processor Extreme Edition overclocked on liquid nitrogen to 6.68GHz. He ended up with 3DMark05 score of 60991 3DMarks. More information on his result can be found here.
Gautam and several other overclockers anxiously waiting for the score
Not to be outdone by close friend and team mate Gautam, overclocker Brian Yuhas decided to bring out some older hardware. He set a new world record for fastest processor. He took his Celeron 356 and overclocked it to 8213.3MHz! He edged out the previous world record holder by 3.3MHz. More about his score can be seen here.
Here you can see Brian's 8.2GHz machine being powered by a Corsair Professional Series™ Gold AX1200 PSU.
Charles "Fugger" Wirth the owner of popular overclocking site XtremeSystems was overclocking his Intel 2600K's integrated GPU. He was able to overclock it to 2000MHz in order to take the highest score for integrated GPU in the Aquamark 3 benchmark. He used a set of Dominator® GT memory modules which gave him the needed performance boost to take first place. To see more on his score click here.
Fugger overclocking the Sandy Bridge integrated graphics
Along with the overclockers the sponsors of the event had booths setup to show off their products. Corsair was showing off the Graphite Series™ 600T mid-tower case, AX1200 PSU, Hydro Series™ H100 CPU Cooler, and Dominator DDR3 Memory. Below Jason was showing of the features of the Special Edition White Graphite Series 600T.
The weekend was a blast for everybody involved! Tons of Fry's customers checked out the overclocking action and the sponsor booths. In terms of overclocking it was a very successful event with two World Records broken and a total of fifteen top 10 scores. Thanks to Brian at ASUS and the rest of the ASUS crew for putting on this very fun, exciting and successful event. For more pictures and overclocking results from the event check out the ASUS ROG Forums here.
Now retired overclocker Brian "Chew*" McLachlan overclocking an AMD setup with dual AX1200's and dual Force Series™ SSDs.

I will do more of these vids as people request em.
Here is a starter. :)
Share your comments.
"half a dead chicken in ya gut...". ROFL
I remember riding with a national team rider in Belgium once and we stopped at a cafe and he had a chicken steak. When we hit the hills he was creeping and got off to check his tires even. He revived after a couple of redbulls. ;)
I like the power tap cos you can swap it between bikes. Sram quark cranks have dropped a lot in price aswell.
Options options..
what about the new Garmin pedal power system, any good? Gives you data on each foot.
Pedal based power? Will be interesting to see how they fit the strain gauges in the pedal..
see http://sites.garmin.com/vector/#power with music.
I hate to go against the flow here, but I've failed to see any 'tips for climbing' in your video, DR.
"Eat vegan, train with a power meter, look at these videos of Lance dancing on the pedals..."
They're the only points you make. If 'Climbing tips' was the aim of this video, I'm sorry, but you didn't achieve this. You don't even explain how a power meter can best be implemented in a training regime.
General training tips; sure, you've given a broad idea of something to consider when training, but climbing?? Perhaps I missed the specific tips amongst all the swearing. ?
Watch it again. ;)
I'm with you Juz, was hoping for some nice practical climbing tips, seemed nore about diet and power meters and other random stuff. I guess they will help with climbing, along with most cycling.
Im intrigued to know if a vegn diet is the best for climbing why arent there more vegan KOM? Were Pantani Chiappucci, Virenque, Armstrong, Indurain etc the exceptions to the rule? Sounds like a good way to say no to drugs.
Not anti Vegan by the way just intrigued how this can be backed up with fact
Well the reality in pro sport is that if you aint on the hot sauce you wont be well known..Good diet helps but you won't be winning big races cos you just go high carb low fat vegan. I mean health is vital but being healthy won't spike your Testosterone 4x over the normal limit to just under the illegal limit. It won't give you an extra 500ml of blood before the big stage tomorrow. It won't numb the pain in your legs like corticosteroids will. It won't let you ride like a diesel all day l like 300mg of modafinil will.
Reality is all the top riders are VERY diet conscious and can't afford to be slapping on extra pounds with the 'I can eat anything as long as I burn it off' mentality. More and more riders are switching to a plant based diet. Just like carbon bikes, it will take a few decades before it is mainstream.
I remember in 1994 being in a bike shop and one of the staff saying 'Carbon bikes? lol! That will NEVER take off!'

It's looks like a neat case, I'd use this in a budget build. I hope my etailer stocks this case as their selection is quite poor in the budget end of the market, the Antec 300 and cases no one talks about.
I'd buy it just for the name alone! lol.. Great Review DS, it's a good case with just some small flaws
Black+orange is a good breakaway from the drab black+blue everyone and their mothers have in a case these days.
Nice review, nice case! At this price, a very good option to choose indeed. I might get one for a next build.
I think all the close ups mean you like the case Some great pictures. After going through all of that, I'd consider replacing my HAF 932 with this - as long as I could fit a 3 X 120 rad + 3 fans at the top.
This box looks simple and good can be PSU tip over or it will suck dust from the bottom. Why don't they make them MATX size...?
I was already having a hard time deciding between the Antec 300 and Cooler Master RC-690. Now I can add this to the list. At least I have a little over a month to decide before I make the plunge and upgrade.
Power supply orientation From page 3 of the review: "Turning the Midgard around, starting at the bottom, you will find the power supply bay right there. It has two sets of mounting holes, so you may choose the direction of air flow created by the PSU. Either pull fresh air in from under the chassis or pull hot air out of the case."
Bug in the product link (one 'h' too much). Price in Finland 119€... Postage in Caseking 39.90€ (weight is 11.5kg), kinda sucky and not a budget case anymore. I'd so get this for 60€ (wanted since it was announced), but it simply cannot be had at that price. Good product, bad availability (unless you are from Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Luxemburg or Netherlands, then delivery is still cheap from Caseking).
Caseking won't be the only one selling this case, they're just the first ones to offer it usually. One or twoo weeks later and we have wider availability.
They have sold it for almost a month now But I did find one store here that has them listed (not in stock) for just 69,90€! So it's all good, seems they are spereading out of Germany finally.
You aren't alone, I have to wait also until a store here in Switzerland has it. Shipping costs from Germany are ridiculous for a neighbouring country.
This case looks very similar to CM Gladiator 600. Out of the Milgard and Gladiator 600 which one is better?
But it's not black from inside. If that's not important to you, then almost identical case would be CM690: one on sale here on forums: http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=97875
I love this midtower. The clamps are like what was on the Sigma Luna I had. I still used a screw with the clamp for extra protection. I wish most would use the mechanism used on the HAf 932 as they hold cards really well, I love it. Also I love the drive tray for HDDs. Not quite the same as the HAF but a nice way. The foam is really a bright spot for the PSU along with the two fan filters. The locking mechanism for ODDs, etc are pretty good as well. HAF 932 uses something similar but I found mine not needing screws even though I used them. Excellent review as always DS. Thanks.
Oh, you can use screws with the clamps? I though about removing them (should get mine next month), but won't bother if that's possible. Do the drive trays remove all HDD (seeking) noise, or most of it? Spinning vibrations I assume will go byebye. HD Tach is a good test for this. With my Scythe 4x HDD Stabiliser I can faintly hear burst test noises and clearly Random Access Test with also vibrations coming through to case. When I hang my HDDs with zip ties, there was no noise, until the Random Access Test some faint noise and no vibrations. The review didn't really mention and I'm not quite sure from the pictures, but does the bottom fan mount have a dust filter in it at all? Nice that ODD mounts are good, might leave my drive screwless as I only have one. How are the rear feet? http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Xigmatek/Midgard/images/casebottomdust.jpg Seems they have moved the feet to the back, unlike the pre-production model that had the feet funnily closer to middle and had me worried: http://www.caseking.de/shop/catalog/images/product_images/popup_images/12410_2__GEXT_001_3g.jpg Are they up for the job, being so small and getting most the weight compared to the huge front feet. Have medium soft silicon feet on my current case that keep the vibration noise away from floor.

Hi everyone, and welcome to a new feature which I am trying out called "Adi's Week in Tech News". This is where I tell you about the technology news stories that have happened this week.
It's been quite an interesting week in technology news this week.
Facebook had announced that it would be releasing a new type of profile page to replace your old one, called "Timeline". Essentially, you will be able to see all the things you have posted on Facebook in the time you have been on Facebook. This is not just photos text or videos, it will also be things you have done within the applications on facebook. They also announced that the like button is going to be changed with verbs, so you can say that you read a book instead of "liking" a book or liking a movie.
Microsoft announced new requirements for PC manufacturers, if they want a sticker that says that their PC was designed for Windows 8. Essentially, manufacturers like Sony, Acer, HP, Dell, Lenovo and others will have to use the new UEFI software that will eventually kill off the old BIOS software. The new UEFI has a feature called secure boot. Essentially, it will only allow operating systems with verified code to load. If you try and put Linux on one of these systems, then it will not run. If you want Linux, then you will have to use VirtualBox or VMWare Player.
For those of you who don't know it, google has their own social network called Google+. Before, the only way to sign up for it, is if someone had sent you an invite to sign up. However, Google+ is now available to everyone. You can now go to plus.google.com and sign up for your free Google+ account.
In the USA, New York City's subway train platforms will be equipped with some hardware which will allow the people of New York to use their mobile phones whilst waiting for a train(I am so jealous!).
Finally(and whilst we are on the topic of tech in the USA), users of the Eau Claire Wisconsin Public Library will be able to borrow one of 44 iPads available. These iPads will come loaded with 1000 eBooks, 10 audio books and some applications. If you are a user of this library who has a library card with less than $10US of fines to be owed, then you may want to consider taking this offer.
However, there is one more thing! I have received word from a source that reports that Apple may be hosting a media event on October 4th 2011. This is where we could see Apple announcing the much anticipated iPhone 5.
So, there you have it. Those were a few of the stories making the technology news this week.

Disclosure Quality and Earnings ManagementJian ZhouUniversity of Hawaii at Manoa Gerald J. LoboUniversity of Houston - C.T. Bauer College of Business May 1, 2001 Abstract: This study examines the relationship between disclosure quality and earnings management. Corporate disclosure and earnings management are both subject to managers' discretion; therefore, managers are likely to consider their interaction when exercising managerial discretion. This study employs a simultaneous equations model to test the hypothesis that disclosure quality and earnings management are negatively related. It uses ratings published by the Association for Investment Management and Research to measure corporate disclosure, and discretionary accruals from the modified Jones model to measure earnings management. Consistent with theoretical predictions, the empirical analysis indicates that there is a statistically significant negative relationship between corporate disclosure and earnings management. Firms that disclose less tend to engage more in earnings management and vice versa. This result holds even after controlling for the effects of potentially confounding variables, and for all three components of corporate disclosure: annual disclosure, quarterly disclosure, and investor relations disclosure. By documenting a consistent negative relationship between corporate disclosure and earnings management, the study provides evidence on how management uses the flexibility afforded it under current minimum disclosure requirements to exercise discretion in reporting earnings. This has implications for the interpretation of and information conveyed by reported accounting earnings. It also provides support for the SEC's approach to attenuating earnings management by requiring more informative corporate disclosure.

Senate Leaders Target Massachusetts Water, Sewers
Leaders in the Massachusetts Senate are proposing a bill designed to shore-up the state's water and sewer infrastructure. It would significantly increase the amount local communities can borrow at low interest rates to improve and protect water supplies.
"Because of the power of our local resources, we are not facing the same tough choices as other states. We will not need to compromise our environmental standards," says Therese Murray, president of the Senate. "In Massachusetts, we can have our water and drink it, too."
The bill's sponsors say it would create a "leak classification system" to make sure high-hazard leaks are fixed quickly.
The push comes three years after a major water main break forced a "boil water order" for 2 million eastern Massachusetts residents.
A 2012 report found the state faces a $21 billion shortfall over the next two decades to keep drinking and wastewater systems in a state of adequate repair.
The Associated Press and the State House News Service contributed to this report.

VERO BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Officials say traffic is being diverted from Interstate 95 in central Florida because of a brush fire in Indian River County.
Florida Forest Services reports that the blaze was first noticed around 1:15 p.m. Wednesday, sending smoke across the interstate at mile marker 142. It has since grown to about 50 acres.
Southbound traffic was being diverted at State Road 60 in Indian River County, and northbound motorists are being directed to exit at Orange Avenue in St. Lucie County.

New Spirit: The Balvenie 17 Year Peated Cask
Filed under: Spirits
Balvenie Peated Cask, $130.00, is comprised of a marriage of 17-year old Balvenie finished in new oak and 17-year old finished in casks that had previously held an unreleased experimental heavily-peated Balvenie distilled in 2001.
The nose on this expression is honeyed malt, which is The Balvenie's signature, soft oak dried apricots, orange liqueur, with some wood smoke notes chasing the fruit. The smoke is more pronounced on the tongue: indeed it overshadows the fruit. There is a saltiness in the finish typical of Laphroaig.
As Islay malts have grown in popularity, some of the Speyside and Highland distilleries, that generally do not malt their barley with peat, have been playing around with peat finishing to broaden their portfolios.
The Balvenie 17 is interesting, but not as pleasing, I think, as its core expressions. If you want peat, buy an Islay malt I say.

What to do when someone takes info off of your site
Guy needs a DDoS attack...
I have found over the years the guys that start appliance blogs and simply copy content from sites like ours get tired of doing so after awhile.
Even if they are not manually copying the content I think after awhile they realize they are not going to get rich from the google ads on their blog and get tired of the whole thing.
That's been my experience with the few sites I found coping our content over the years.
We also just started using this on our site, http://www.tynt.com/
There is a SMF mod for it too.
It will automatically add a link back to your site from content that is copied and pasted from your site.
Of coarse the link can be removed by the person doing the copy and paste, but our stats at tynt.com over the last few days seem to indicate it's doing us some good.
Thanks appliance junk, I may try tynt, but it may not work, I have placed a link to my site in the content (a few paragraphs in) before to see if he would leave it but he took it out.
Yeah, tynt.com is not really made to be used to prevent people like that from stealing content and not giving credit for it.
I think it's meant to be used by honest people that really want to share something they found on your site with someone else.
In any case it seems to be working for us.
If the things he is stealing are images or other media, you can modify php/apache to use imagick to watermark it automatically while leaving the original on the server untouched. Doesn't have to be blatant, like maybe a 1-2% opacity diagonal name/domain watermark.

Designing a website can be fun and rewarding. If you want people to visit your website, then there are some website design tips that you will want to keep in mind as you create your site. Developing a popular website takes time, but the results can be something that will make you proud.
1) Take it Easy on the Animation
Animation can draw attention to your site, but it can also take away from the readability of your site as well. People view a website looking for information and pictures. Your animation can be creative and fun, but try to limit how much you use and leave the animation to the outsides of the web pages to prevent distracting from the information on the page.
2) Use a Good Color Scheme
Bright colors on a white background can be difficult to look at, while dark text on a dark background can be confusing. Make sure your information stands out by using a good color scheme for your site. A text with a darker color would show up best on white background, while a black background would help to neutralize the effects of bright colors.
3) Check Your Links
Nothing takes away from your web site's credibility more than broken links. Make sure your internal links are properly structured when you design the site. Check your external links at least once a month to make sure they are still valid and working properly.
Seeing your own website design on the Internet, knowing that it can be seen anywhere in the world, can be exciting. Use some good design tips to make sure you draw repeat traffic.

Biography (Critical Survey of Poetry: British, Irish, & Commonwealth Poets)
Most of the available biographical facts derive from Michael Drayton's own poems and dedications. He was born in northern Warwickshire in 1563 and seems to have been reared and educated in the household of Sir Henry Goodere at Polesworth, not far from his native village of Hartshill. To fulfill his lifelong desire to be a poet, he moved to London at least by 1591, although more likely in the later 1580's. Beyond reasonable doubt the "Idea" of his sonnets honors Sir Henry's daughter Anne. Drayton may have been in love with Anne; around 1595, however, she married a man of her own class, Sir Henry Rainsford. Of Drayton's ever marrying, there is no record. In later years, the poet spent his summers at Clifford Hall, Gloucestershire, the Rainsfords' seat, and he is known to have been treated by Lady Rainsford's physician, John Hall, who was Shakespeare's son-in-law. Although he apparently lived the last forty years of his life in London, Drayton's fondness for rural England and his admiration for the values of the landed gentry were obviously genuine. He is credited with having been on familiar terms with nearly every important literary Englishman of his time. Dying near the end of 1631, he was buried in Westminster Abbey.

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
Michael Drayton (DRAYT-uhn), born at Hartshill, Warwickshire, in 1563, may have been the most prolific as well as the most dedicated poet of his period. His Poly-Olbion, completed in 1622 and ten years in the writing, is one of the longest poems in English, a varied topographical and historical celebration of England's glories. It represents only one type of his poetic works, however, which include his earliest volume, the biblical paraphrases published in 1591 titled The Harmonie of the Church; the sonnet series, Ideas Mirrour, published in 1594 and revised, as Idea, in 1619; and the mock-heroic Nimphidia, published in The Battaile of Agincourt in 1627.
Drayton's finest work is The Muses Elizium, finished the year before his death, in which the combination of his talents for realistic expression and dignified artifice are enhanced by a firm idealism. His vigorous sonnets, among them the famous "Since there's no help, come let us kiss and part" (from the Idea of 1619), showed him leading toward this fluent style.
He collaborated on more than twenty plays, of which only one has survived. His historical poems are of only passing interest; however, his continued fascination with England's past found successful expression in Englands Heroicall Epistles, modeled on Ovid. This work includes twenty-four imaginary letters exchanged between such famous...

I had a girl break up with me on halloween I had a different Ex show up to party with new boyfriend, and found out, sence everyone noticed that we both were there so we became the discussion, that she slept with 2 other guys before we broke up/ I had one car accedent. Got grounded for going to party overnight in highschool though I told parents I was staying over. Failed final and failed collage class. Got in fight with Highschool best freind and mutual "adopted brother" after collage to drive home HighSchool and collage are two diferent lives. Not just yelling and dont want to talk fight but bloody nose and black eye type that found out he was a real dick and dont know why I liked him before. Every year something new happens that just sucks. several other times it was little stuff that is stupid now but then was monumental and just crushed me. The stuff I listed mostly is small but taken at the time was huge. This year I had to work durring bronco game. FIne ok I can live. CU just got spanked like red headed step child. Ok fine I can live. CSU lost big woop sucksI sucket it up big in collage picks who cares ok big deal . Broncos forget to show up for second game in row, I CAN live with it. but ok.

Musical Airs
Songs inspired by the early age of flight.
- By Rebecca Maksel
- AirSpaceMag.com, February 19, 2009
Smithsonian Institution Libraries
In 1935, the New Yorker covered a small exhibition of Landauer's sheet music at the Old Print Shop in New York City: "The oldest songs are mostly English, we found, and naturally they're about balloons. The very oldest air song, published in London in 1782, is called 'The Balloon'…. We thought the words of this insipid." By 1908, English songwriters were scarcely more inspired, as the lyrics to "Up In My Balloon" show:
Little Bertie Van Lear says to Maudie De Vere,
I have good news I want you to share,
Now I've a balloon and there's plenty of room,
So we'll go for a ride in the air;
Do your hair in a rat, get your best sailor hat,
Be on deck, we must sail promptly at nine,
As the Captain and crew, I'll take good care of you,
And I'll show you a real high old time.
Little Maudie De Vere says to Bertie Van Lear,
As the big balloon slowly arose,
We've been courting you know now for two years or so,
And you've never yet tried to propose;
You've had me in the air, now that I've got you there,
You must promise that you'll buy the ring,
If you don't take my tip, then your airship I'll rip,
So to no other girl you can sing.

I believe that, from the final sentence of this snippet from the song, you can interpret that the song's lyricist intended the title to be a shortening of something like, "My bomber and I fly high in the sky." Other than that, I'm a long time fan of this site. Keep up the great work!
Posted by Mike Burkholder on February 25,2009 | 01:27 AM
I'm not sure how my submitted comment of 2/25/09 lost its first lines but, in them, I disagreed with the author of this article. "My bomber and me" would be the grammatically incorrect form. If one were to use a pronoun rather than "My bomber and I" that pronoun would be "we" as in "We fly high in the sky." In the same vein, "My bomber and me" would need to be replaced with "us" which would result in the grammatically incorrect "Us fly high in the sky." Although it is the more colloquially popular, "X and me" followed by a verb is still grammatically incorrect. I stand with Jay Garside and his lyrics. I hope that this comment does not make me appear to be a grammar goon because I don't normally point out bad grammar but, when I see correct grammar being identified as being wrong, I feel compelled to respond. Thanks for your great website!

Great you made all this work. And yes, isn't learning the best and greatest of addictions?
It'd be nice if you could share some details about your post workflow, in particular the cineform component.
Also, which package format did you settle for in the end? SMPTE or Interop? Is the Sony SRX R320 picky and if so in which regard?
Good luck with your project.

Google Indexing Based On Keywords

I have a question regarding duplicate, or near duplicate optimized pages and how they are indexed.
I have two different url's that have been optimized for 3 keywords each. Both URL's contain the keywords within the title, meta-description and in the body as H1 tags.
All keywords rank within the top 10 for both url's except for 1 keyword. That keyword is in URL 1 as a plural version (gifts), and in URL 2 as the single version (gift).
What I have found that google has only indexed URL 1 for both terms. The single version ranks in the 9th position, while the plural version ranks in the 5th position. I believe this occurs because there isn't an exact keyword match, "gifts" rather than "gift"
Since the keywords and optimization technique is nearly the same for both pages. does google do a "compare" and then only lists one url.
Posted 19 September 2003 - 12:07 PM
I have a question regarding duplicate, or near duplicate optimized pages and how they are indexed.
Talking Bear, at the risk of sounding dumb, may I ask why you have 2 sites with the same info?
Just wondering why you chose that route.
Posted 19 September 2003 - 12:08 PM
That would make alot of difference.
Posted 19 September 2003 - 12:22 PM
If you've created 2 pages simply to optimize for slightly different terms, try thinking about it differently. How can you change the second page to benefit the viewer? More text, less text, different information?
Posted 19 September 2003 - 02:21 PM
Yes its 2 different urls for the same site. 1 url targets the plural, the other the sigular form. ( teddy bear gifts and teddy bear gift )
The reson I tried this approach is that if you were to search on teddy bear gifts in google my home page url appears at position 5. If you search on teddy bear gift the same url appears, but in the 9th position. I tried to address this issue by having each word in two different urls.
Posted 19 September 2003 - 04:03 PM
You can still target both terms on different pages- just have different content on the pages.
Posted 19 September 2003 - 04:13 PM
That said, if those are the actual keyword phrases, don't expect high rankings for just one page of a site optimized. I imagine that's a highly competitive phrase, and the sites that will rank highly for it are those with hundreds of pages of Teddy Bear information. If you don't have something like that, then you're going to have to shoot for far less competitive phrases such as "green teddy bears" or "sad teddy bears" or whatever.
In answer to your original question, Google will not show 2 pages in the results that are highly similar. They're really looking for unique content and using a template with plurals added, doesn't constitute unique content at all.
Posted 19 September 2003 - 07:12 PM
Thanks for the imput. Rather than going after 2 terms with 2 pages I'll try both terms in one page.
As to the content for each url, the content and structure is completely different. Except I'm sure I switch between both the singular and plural on each page. I thought the diference in the title and meta-description would drive the pages seperately, but I guess I am wrong.
Again, Thanks for your imput

Welcome back to the program Chris Chandler foxnews.com.
Thanks so much for being here thanks for having mile and -- last time you -- here we're talking about Lindsay Lohan.
I know it's becoming something of Arabs an obsession with -- well.
She continues -- they're just she pops up at -- news it's not our fault but it's not our fault what is happening this and that time has to do with some money.
Yes apparently well definitely the IRS has seized her bank accounts.
That's pretty -- when he gets about -- -- and exactly -- there is a lien on her -- several months now on the finally had enough and they seized her bank accounts out of nowhere.
She wasn't even expecting it usually when something like that happens the person is actually informed.
But we have a source on the inside is telling us that they did it this way because they were afraid that she was gonna transfer all of the money to different accounts -- they didn't even know existed at this point given the IRS doesn't trust.
Yeah and apparently.
They may have good reason because she get gets all of this appearance money whatever she shows up at a club.
Or at that red carpet -- -- some that -- get 101020030000.
Dollars while the stars do that there's nothing illegal or wrong about that.
But Lindsay always demands to be paid in cash right and the IRS is looking into whether she is actually declaring any of this any of these cash payments that she's been receding over the last.
234 years.
You say it's not it's not uncommon for starts to get paid.
These big you know these big ticket exactly payouts for making these appearances but do a lot of the stars ask for cash.
A lot of stars do ask for -- especially the big ones anybody who can attract cameras basically asks for money.
Most of them however signed contracts so it's easy for the tax man to find out how much they made.
They have to declare it just like they do any other income she wants everything under the table she wants a lot of it under the table according to a source who we have who's are close to the case right now okay.
So that's where the IRS is looking -- why they have it in fact -- accounts.
When she was arrested last week actually.
After allegedly punching somebody in a nightclub at 4 in the morning.
The reason given was that she was afraid that person's going to steal her sister's purse a person that reportedly contained pac 101000 dollars.
In cash -- -- who carries around 101000 dollars in cash somebody who doesn't want to reported pot perhaps allegedly right.
Now this is not it's our -- is not as easy is paying.
Back taxes right I mean she can't just say -- -- -- that there it must have been a mistake let me pay for you.
Exactly this is in addition to the back taxes she -- I was.
Dollars I believe in back taxes -- Charlie Sheen stepped up and paid a portion of that for her.
As good samaritan paid a 100000 dollars -- taxes for her that this is an addition to those back taxes I wanna see exactly.
How much she is made and how much is declared that.
What a mess all right well we can find out more about Lindsay Lohan is -- IRS problems on foxnews.com.
So look for that there's the article there and there she is looking fabulous -- probably getting paid.
Right there as we speak and talk about her for that appearance -- there's also somebody else who want to talk about Kate Middleton.
-- Middleton is out of the hospital she out of the woods one -- -- She's out of the hospital and it sounds like her extreme morning sickness is a thing of the past and release something that she doesn't have to be hospitalized for anymore.
She she came out today that she is looking fantastic you know who look like she's been having extreme warnings this sickness for the past few -- -- -- apple device that's absolutely.
Exactly and the stylus that's.
-- that's right and those flowers she looks cheery and cheerful.
-- second -- thought -- was Katie Holmes thank you cannot but she looks beautiful she looks great of course that paparazzi hang around me a lot of people are really.
Worried about her not just because of her health.
And of course everybody is cheering her on and rooting for these two.
-- to have a beautiful child and make it all the way through pregnancy but I've got to imagine that the stock Roxy on her this is going to be -- it get any worse than Diana.
Well that's -- people are afraid -- and that's why it we've talked to royal watchers and they say that we can probably look forward to not seeing as much of her.
In the future as we have in the past -- probably going to be.
In these constant one of the many and when one of the many castles they have right scattered about the country.
Where she will be looked after she'll probably go out for very planned public appearances right.
But there -- that it won't be the kind of access that that she's been giving to her public so far.
Okay well at least we've got some good news report on the -- -- thank you so much.
-- canceled for being here and bring in the -- to us from foxnews.com.
And you can -- -- to act fox for one want.
And -- for one -- appreciate it.

2/24/2011: Said Musa Released from Afghan Prison after International Attention - Crosswalk |
By Kristin Butler http://www.crosswalk.com/news/religiontoday/11646333/
The intimidating environment created by the baptism footage's release caused concerns on how best to approach a campaign for Said's release. Christian organizations and advocates debated on the best course of action. "The fear was that publicity could lead to harm against Christian believers and Christian work in Afghanistan," said Aidan Clay, International Christian Concern's Regional Manager for the Middle East. As a result, a quieter approach of behind-the-scenes diplomacy ensued. Tags: |

How can you disagree with facts? It IS faster. It IS more secure. These are undeniable facts. Like your love for our child Mailrocker.
Battery life may only pertain to your mid grades as gaming don't last long at all. My m17x last prob lil over an hour on a 9cell running sli and discrete during gaming. so saying to switch os's cuase you mite gain a few more mins in battery life is really pointless. if battery life is important. carry around an extra battery already charged. Having the same GUI across all systems is something I don't like. If you have a desktop, laptop, ipad, iphone. Really WTF? If your mobile alot all you need is a ipad for everything. It sounds to me you saying a pc is a xbox. Go say that in the game section and get flamed. How much faster do you need running ssd's in raid 0 with just an os installed and apps on seperate drive? If your complaining you can't use your pc in 3 secs somethings wrong lol.
I agree 1 million percent. I would find it a down grade myself as the User Interface (UI) is just what I want and need. And I find this one just plain and lackluster and blah. The average PC user and gamer will love it. Real PC gamers will not mes with it.
Im using Windows 8 and so far I can tell you it is much more resource efficient. Idling at the desktop my RAM usage is at 1.1 to 1.4 GB of Physical RAM. Compare that to my Windows 7 usage, which was at 2.0 - 3.0 GB of Physical RAM depending on how long the system was up and running. Quite the difference if you ask me. Also, if you sign in with your LIVE Account, then any settings and preferences you have setup with carry over to other PCs that you log into with said account. There is options to setup and login with local accounts. Another tip I wanted to share that I learned the other day is if you are at the Desktop you can drag the mouse to any of the four corners to pull up the Charms menu. The left side, bottom of the screen with popup with the Start Screen and if you left click it, will take you back to the start screen, but if you RIGHT CLICK it, a context menu will appear with most if not all of the common tasks or places any power user will need to go: Programs and Features Power Options Event Viewer System Device Manager Disk Management Computer Management Command Prompt Command Prompt (Admin) Task Manager Control Panel File Explorer Search Run Desktop Right Clicking the bottom left hand side of the screen is a big help and is kind of like a start menu for those who need it.
it depends on the user. Dave has explained this to me when I gave shit to mailman about being a stability nazi. What Mailman does with his system requires it to be stable and working 100% of the time, which is why he talks so highly of win 8 because it is a better OS for what he does with his machine. For people like you or I it may not be something we really need to put on our systems. Just depends on the users point of view, and what they need out of their system. it is faster and far more secure. I recommend you try it for atleast a day.
I can see the beneifits of having one gui for everything. I don't want a one size fits all GUI though. If I have a desktop I want a desktop GUI. If I have a tablet I want a tablet GUI. If I have a phone... They shouldn't be completely different GUI's, but just optimized to be the most effect GUI for that platform. What about the people who don't need and or want a ui that is built for the lowest common denominator? If 99% of the time I stayed within 10 miles of my home, then sure keep the horse and rent a car when you need one. You could even make a eco friendly argument on that one. I ride my bicycle if my destination is within 5 miles and I don't need the cargo space. I would like to see some allocation of system resources benchmarks. Especially cpu benchmarks. A gpu is only part of the picture.
More like lots of people who are used to dealing with the ways of Redmond. IF, you've dealt with them long enough, you know that you don't move your important stuff onto a new Windows OS until it's at the very least on the first service pack and you should be wary of doing it, even then, if it really is a brand new version of Windows altogether and it's coming after a good one. Windows users are already used to skipping entire OS refreshes at times (see Windows Millenium Edition & Vista). Most businesses I've worked for and had contact with did it with Vista and it's probably fair to say that most home users who bought Vista only got it because it came pre-installed with their new machines. The business I work for has only just finished moving the last of their Windows machines onto 7 and will definitely not be going down the 8 route in any great hurry at all, if ever (we'll see what happens when 9 arrives). TBH, aside from a few dev boxes we use to test stuff with, two of which have had 8 on them for varying lengths of time, the rest of the company will most likely never see 8 installed at all, other than on their home/mobile devices, as there is no need or call for it and it's just another cost against the IT department. I've been running a Windows 8 box at home myself for some time, as I do need to keep myself abreast of these things, even if I would never choose to install it for my own use. 8 is interesting to me, because it's different, shiny and new, but that's about where the love ends for it on a proper PC for me (mobile devices are another matter altogether, as I can see the point with them). I've tried running it on both my gaming rigs at home, but quickly removed it, as at the time the Metro UI just would not work properly on my multi-monitor 5760 x 1200 setups. It's currently been relegated to my kitchen PC, as has my only touch screen monitor. I will continue to play and tinker with it myself and no doubt will end up using it more with some mobile devices in the next year or two, but I still fail to see any good reason to jump to it quickly or to recommend it to anybody as an upgrade from 7.
You might want that, but fact of the matter is that streamlining the UIs across the devices is the future. Apple has been trying to do that ever since the iphone and ipad came out and you can see the similarities between them a lot more these days.
Not from what I have seen first hand it suck , Really who thought of this? It is shit for and OS for a computer. This is tablet/phone OS. Looks like crap the UI has been totally screwed up. The little things that make us love and hate it are all there. You do not have to buy it and I am not going to. MS can put out any thing they like, If I do not like it I will not buy it. I do not even own a dumb phone or any table computers. No I can do without all that crap.
I articulated what I want as well I should of. Apples Os's are very similar across platforms right. Not identical though right? I am actually asking because I only use an apple product once in a blue moon. If think the idea of cross platform gui is great. Makes it so people don't have to learn a new gui every time. I am just wanting optimization. Phones and tablets are great with a touch screen. Tweak their gui a little for that. Desktops are best with a mouse and keyboard, and even touch pads. Tweak their gui a little for that. With the exceptions of those tweaks have them be almost identical. The last time I used mac laptop it felt very natural with a mouse and keyboard. Windows 8 did not when I tried it.
I have a technet account. I've tried it for well more than a day. I'm not a fan... at all. I even know how to get around in the new UI. It is horrible.
Get used to it or move to OSX or Linux. Stick with Windows 7 and when Windows 9 comes out it will be THAT much harder to learn. Sounds like a good argument. I don't understand it so it must be horrible. I like this attitude. I'm gonna use it all through my life.
No, I think I'll wait for Microsoft to learn from their mistake and implement a proper "classic" interface... Which they will do, I have no doubt. Besides you obviously didn't read my entire post. I know how to use Windows 8. You people sound like Microsoft shills. Well, Mr. Youngshaver is for sure, you... Just trollin as usual. I can't take you seriously on this forum. Sorry.
Nice job Wizard, yet one big question remains unanswered: Is this the DirectX10 fiasco all over again? Reminder: When Vista came out, Microsoft forced everyone who wanted DirectX10 to upgrade to Vista, because they wouldn't want it to be backwards compatible as an incentive to push Vista sales. Now we could have history repeating all over again with the next version of DirectX. As I was enrolled as a student at that time, it was easy for me to take some time and test Vista, yet I quickly found it to be horrible and never used it until Windows 7 came out.
Not being able to use it and not enjoying it are two different things. When a Gui is good you forget about it, and just use it.
I don't think you take much of anything seriously. Not true. Going from OSX to XP made me do a LOT of thinking. But the hard work paid off. Hell I'm still learning!

The retina is the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye that converts light images into nerve impulses that are relayed to the brain to produce sight. When the retina separates from the deeper layers of the eyeball that normally support and nourish it, the retina is said to be detached. Without this nourishment and support, the retina does not function properly, and this can cause a variety of visual symptoms. For example, if the retina detaches near the macula, the part of the eye that is responsible for the center of the visual field (reading for instance), then there may be a sudden, significant blurring or loss of vision. However, if the area of detachment is closer to the outer edges of the retina, then the visual loss may be more like a curtain being drawn over one side of the visual field (the "curtain effect"). Other symptoms of retinal detachment may include floating shapes in the field of vision or brief flashes of light.
Although there are several types of retinal detachment, the most common one starts when a tear or hole develops in the retina, and some of the gel-like substance that fills the inside of the eye (vitreous fluid) leaks through the opening. Eventually, the leaking vitreous fluid gets behind the retina, separating the retina from other layers of the eye.
The retinal tear that triggers a retinal detachment sometimes is caused by trauma. More often, it is caused by a change in the gel-like consistency of the vitreous fluid that can occur as a part of aging. This age-related change can occur unpredictably in older people, and there is no way to prevent it. Once this type of retinal detachment develops and causes symptoms, it can progress to total blindness if it is not repaired promptly.
In the United States, retinal detachment is a relatively uncommon condition, affecting only 1 of every 10,000 Americans each year. However, there are certain groups who have an unusually high risk of developing this problem, including:
In many cases, the more risk factors a person has, the higher the risk of retinal detachment. For example, a very nearsighted person who also undergoes cataract surgery probably will have a higher risk of retinal detachment than someone who has cataract surgery and is not nearsighted. Overall, the risk of retinal detachment increases the older you get, and men are about 50% more likely to develop the problem than women.
People with diabetes also have a higher risk of a different type of retinal detachment as a complication of diabetic retinopathy, a family of retinal disorders thought to be related to abnormal or erratic blood sugar levels.
Symptoms of a detached retina may include:
After reviewing your symptoms, your doctor will ask about your medical history, especially any history of cataract surgery, nearsightedness, and diabetes or eye trauma. Next, your doctor will examine your eye, and will test how well you can see and your peripheral vision (side vision). Finally, the doctor will use special eye drops to dilate (open) your pupils so he or she can examine the inside of your eye, including the retina. During this retinal examination, the doctor will check for retinal tears and areas of detachment by using a special hand-held ophthalmoscope (a lighted instrument for looking inside the eye) or a slit lamp. If necessary, your doctor will do more tests to determine the extent of your visual field loss.
In cases in which the doctor cannot see a retinal detachment while examining your eye, an ultrasound of the eye may be necessary. This can occur when the pupil cannot be fully dilated or there is some cloudiness inside the eye that prevents the doctor from seeing the retina.
Once a retinal detachment develops and causes symptoms, it should be treated quickly to preserve as much vision as possible. Ideally, the repair should be done less than one week after the detachment began. For detachments threatening the macula (central vision), it is best to treat the problem within the first 24 hours.
Most retinal detachments are age related, and there is no way to prevent them. If you are middle-aged or older, you may be able to identify eye problems in their early stages by scheduling an eye examination with an ophthalmologist every one to two years.
To prevent retinal detachments that are caused by diabetic retinopathy, people with diabetes should try to maintain near-normal blood sugar levels and to avoid wide swings between high and low blood sugar levels. Also, all diabetics should have a thorough eye examination through dilated pupils at least once a year. If any retinopathy is detected the examinations should be done every six months.
If you have a detached retina, you should be treated by an ophthalmologist, a physician who specializes in eye problems. Several techniques are available to repair retinal tears and to eliminate the area of separation behind the detached retina. Some options include (in some cases more than one of the options listed below may be combined):
Once treatment is complete, you will need to return to your ophthalmologist for regular follow-up visits. These visits are necessary to check for signs that the retina has detached again in your treated eye or if the problem is happening in your untreated eye. People who already have had a retinal detachment in one eye have an increased risk of detachment in the other eye.
Call your doctor immediately if you have symptoms of a detached retina, especially if you have a history of cataract surgery, severe nearsightedness, eye trauma, diabetes, or previous treatment for a detached retina.
With proper treatment, the prognosis is excellent. More than 90% of detached retinas can be reattached successfully. In some cases, more than one treatment is necessary.
Vision is most likely to return to near normal if the problem is treated less than seven days after the detachment begins. Some blurring of vision may remain in people who have detachments that involve the macula (central vision). This is why treatment is an emergency if the macula is still attached.

Tiger woods mistresses count (allegedly)
Pretty much ever since this entire Tiger Woods debauchery I found it hard to sleep. I mean think about it! This is Tiger freaking woods. He is/was the only athlete that parents would want their children to grow up to be like. And I don't mean just because of the money (which isn't bad either) but in our eyes Tiger Woods was our Gabriel. He was an angel.
To be honest, I think that's...
