Stranded gosling bonds with rabbit friends
Jul 28, 2011
André the gosling has been having a tough time bonding with other geese - instead he'd rather be with his rabbit family, reports the Times Colonist.
André was found abandoned on a driveway at about 11 weeks-old and was brought to the World Parrot Refuge in Coombs, British Columbia, Canada.
"The parrots would have ripped him apart, so I took him down to the barn and that's where he met his friends," Susan Vickery, the director of the Earthanimal Humane Education and Rescue Society rabbit sanctuary, which is near the Parrot Refuge, told the source.
His new family became two baby rabbits who would snuggle with him for safety.
Unfortunately, now that André is bigger, other geese haven't accepted him yet because there's something about him they don't identify with, Kari Marks, manager of British Colombia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals' (B.C. SPCA) Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre told the source.
In 2010, the B.C. SPCA rescued 33,762 injured, abandoned or stray animals and helped 1,848 orphaned
wild animals
, including 1,283 birds, according to the SPCA site.
According to the Victoria Times Colonist, Andre was recently released by the B.C. SPCA and is finally interacting with other members of his own species.

What Makes "bad Neighborhoods" Bad?
Posted 05 October 2005 - 09:32 PM
From a technical standpoint, what makes a neighborhood bad? Is the "bad" tag an algorithmic or manual/qualitative penalty?What tools can you use to see these "bad" elements? Can a "bad neighborhood" become good? Do the SEs really have a way for sniffing out bad neighborhoods?
When you look at it, the Internet is really just one big link farm. Is it bad if some animals in that farm prefer linking among themselves only and not with the authoritative animals?
Posted 06 October 2005 - 12:03 AM
And how does one determine if a site is a bad neighborhood? That's mostly a matter of opinion, but I just think of it as a crap site I wouldn't want links from in the first place, like a link farm, a scraper (they're bound to link to you if you've got halfway decent rankings, so don't worry about it), a network of crosslinked sites designed to create illusions of authority, etc. Just use your nose. If it stinks, avoid it.
Posted 06 October 2005 - 07:23 AM
It's the old being judged by who you hang out with thing. If you hang out with sites that cloak, spam, and create artificial linking networks, you probably are one too.
BUT- I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you have a dozen links to strong authority sites, and one link to a site that appeared perfectly fine (but you later found out they were cloaking and got banned) I doubt it's going to hurt anything.
However if half or more of your outgoing links are to spam networks or banned sites (as in, you joined some automated program and just accepted anyone who would link to you without checking them out) then it's likely your site will be assumed to be as low quality as the sites you are linking to.
Posted 06 October 2005 - 07:31 AM
Originally BNs referred mostly to FFAs/link-farms, though from what Matt Cutts says about possible usages for the rel-nofollow attribute, G seems to have widened the net.
In an old thread over at SEW, there's also the "quit smoking" guy that was hosed for linking to a topical site that was using hidden links to pharma types.
Interestingly, I can't remember if the "topical" BN was identifiable as such before GG came along and pointed things out.
Posted 06 October 2005 - 09:19 AM
If it makes sense for your visitors, any link is a good link, coming or going.
Posted 06 October 2005 - 10:33 PM
Yes, I meant links to my site from "bad neighborhoods". I've experienced first hand the dangers of "linking my site to them".
Is it safe to say then that using AddW** to get FFA sites to link to my site might be one productive link building strategy after all? I really have a hard time getting links from sites via the normal "link exchange" request route because I don't have a large inventory of high PR sites and I can't write the best of exchange request emails. So any site I can get to link to my site is a good thing...
Desperate link builder,

No. It's safe to say that getting links from those sites isn't likely to harm you, except for the fact that you'll have wasted however much time it took you to do it. But it's not going to help.
The point is, if some garbage site links to you, you don't have to beg them to remove the link. You don't have to worry about it. But don't seek them out and ask them to link to you. They're garbage.

You may want to give the little Common Link tool that I've been developing in my free(?) time a whirl to see if it helps you to identify some good linking partners.
A couple of notes. 1.) The tool is still quite beta since I haven't had in free time for the last month plus to work on it. 2.) Please do not disengage your brain while using this or any other tool! I do not have it filtering anything, so you're going to get all of the bad with the good.
Those who have been helping me test it have been reporting some pretty decent results, so it might help you. There's a link on the above page that gives a fuller description of what the Common Link tool attempts to do.

Also, in my interview with MSN (at SEOmoz), they noted that if spammy sites point to you, you "look like spam". Sounded to me like they take those links seriously and don't buy the "can't control who links to me" argument.
Countering it with high quality, legit links seems to be a good way to make sure it can't hurt you long term. Once About.com and Topix and del.icio.us/popular have you on there, and your natural link love is built up, I doubt that bad 'hoods can throw you down.

I haven't seen anything similar happen with links from bad neighborhoods, but maybe it's a matter of percentages. But that could become a big issue with all the scraper sites out there. If they're identified as bad neighborhoods, a lot of sites are going to need a lot of good links to counteract the effect.
Posted 10 October 2005 - 02:35 PM
I wonder if these will affect the rankings negatively - very dangerous game to play for the SEs.
Posted 10 October 2005 - 02:59 PM
I just can't see how they could let them. It's not like they're not aware of them. I'm sure they don't count them other than if you have no legitimate links.

A former customs officers is expected to appear before a federal judge on Monday afternoon where he's asking for probation instead of jail time for a gun-buying scheme.
Manuel Eduardo Peña is expected to appear for sentencing before U.S. District Court Judge Hilda Tagle in Brownsville on Monday afternoon.
A federal jury found Peña guilty back in August.
But court records show that Peña is seeking probation for the illegal gun-buying scheme.
Defense attorney Ernesto Gamez filed a motion saying that Peña is the sole provider of three children from his first marriage and a 3-year-old boy from his second marriage.
Gamez argued that Peña had numerous commendations for drug seizures and other acts during his career as a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer.
Court records show that prosecutors are against giving Peña probation.

Coral Reef Mining Raises Concern in Fiji, Pacific Islands Report, 02/14/06
Source: Pacific Islands Report
SUVA, FIJI - Have you heard of the live coral trade? It's really a trade in bits of coral reef rock covered by particular algae species.
Put live rock in your seawater aquarium and it keeps the water clean for your collection of tropical fish and other sea life to thrive in.
Tagaqe Chief Ratu Timoci Batireregu is working with hotels along Fiji's Coral Coast to secure the protection of tribal reefs through the installation of effective sewage and water treatment plants.
By one estimate, there are globally at least 1.5 million tropical aquarium hobbyists, mostly in the United States - the world's greatest live rock market. It buys 90 percent of it.
The trade began 15 to 20 years ago. When coral reef conservation-minded United States authorities banned the collection of live rock from local sources, the trade turned to sources abroad.
Fiji, with its great spread of coral reef, became a primary source of supply for the simple reason that it was accessible - a direct 10-hour flight away. It became one of three main sources.
For Fiji's coastal villages with little other moneymaking opportunities, the live rock business became a great blessing.
In 2001, they harvested and exported about 800,000 kilograms [1.76 million pounds] of the stuff.
According to the World Wildlife Fund, the world's conservation body, the target is rock covered with light to dark pink or purple algae. This is broken up with an iron rod, loaded on to a bamboo raft and taken ashore to a buyer. At least 60 percent of a lump of rock needs to be covered by the right kind of algae or buyers reject it.
The rock is put under a continuous salt water spray for 24 to 72 hours before shipment, trimmed of all visible green algae growth, and graded according to shape, weight and percentage of coral line algae.
According to World Wildlife Fund, rock is bought for FJ$1.20 a kilogram [US31 cents per pound] which is shared according to Fijian custom.
At an average of 150 kilograms a week, about 7,500 kilograms [16,500 pounds] harvested annually by a full-time harvest will earn about FJ$9,000 [US$5,204] a year. That's a lot of money for the average Fijian villager.
In some areas, after 10 years of collecting, villagers are noticing some of the consequences of the live rock trade, such as the destruction of marine life habitats, the undermining of reef structure, and underwater erosion.
Large amounts of rock are often rejected by buyers and left on beaches as accumulating piles of waste.
Not surprisingly there are conflicting views about the live rock trade in Fiji and abroad.
Conservationists want the trade stopped. Villagers need the cash. Tourists are discomforted by the sight of villagers chipping out lumps of rock from the reef.
An American business engaged in the Fiji trade naturally advocates it as an important cash earner for villagers, provided harvesting is done wisely.
Only a very small area of the reef is affected, far less than one percent, it says, while the removal of rock actually benefits the reef by creating holes occupied by coral and fish where there was only rock before.
The main collecting area in Fiji is along the 50-kilometer [31-mile] reef-fringed Coral Coast of Viti Levu, between Nadi and Suva.
[PIR editor's note: Nadi is on the southwest coast of Viti Levu island whereas Suva is on the southeast coast.]
Enter the Fogarty International Center of the United States National Institute of Health working with the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of the South Pacific since 2004. These institutions have a deal with Tagaqe village on the Coral Coast.
Instead of breaking off pieces of coral rock for sale to the saltwater aquarium trade, Tagaqe has begun planting pumice pellets, each several inches long and hung by wire, in shallow water above the reef. After about eight months these pellets become naturally covered by a desirable species of algae. They become a substitute for live rock.
An agreement with Tagaqe Chief Ratu Timoci Batireregu was initially for the purchase of 5,000 pumice blanks at a cost of around FJ$3,400 [US$1,966].
Villagers keep half the profit from selling the cultivated rock, as it is called, and reinvesting the other half in the next crop.
Walt Smith, a conservation-conscious American aquarium company based in Fiji, has agreed to market the stuff as an environmentally friendly product to aquariums around the world.
Ratu Timoci, a retired forestry department official, is an interesting far-sighted man. As head of five clans totaling about 1,800 people, he controls the traditional use of a length of about six kilometers [3.7 miles] of fringing reef in the Taqaqe area. Inland, the village has thousands of hectares of mahogany growing towards maturity. He's working with hotels along the coast to secure the protection of tribal reefs by the installation of effective sewage and water treatment plants.
Revenue from the new cultivated rock venture will flow to the village's development projects and education, he says.
Studies show that cultivated rock is as effective as live rock for purifying aquariums.
The Georgia Institute of Technology's aquarium at Atlanta agreed to use cultivated rock in its exhibits.
Researchers think that coral reefs have potential for yielding new drugs, including antibiotics and anti-cancer agents.
Plans are for similar projects in five other villagers.
Kirk Bowman, a Georgia Institute of Technology associate professor, has ideas about an adopt-a-coral deal with tourists and concerned people making a donation to have a piece of coral planted in their name. Proceeds will be used for coral reef conservation work in Fiji.
Conservation of coral reefs is important because of new drug discovery possibilities, scientists say.
Tropical countries like Fiji are the most promising places for discoveries because of the high diversity and tendency of organisms in these habitats to fight back against predators, competitors, and pathogens by evolving chemical defenses.

Great point. We don't want to see courses geared to training students in specific vendors' products!
A company opening up a data center that isn't in California, Washington (the state, not DC), New York or Massachusetts? Isn't this against the law or something?
As anyone who saw my comments on Mitch's post knows, following the roads less traveled gives you a much better chance to get people. I personally would have chose Cleveland, because (a) Case Institute of Technology has a better math program and (b) the Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals are constantly looking for people to crunch medical data. But you have Nationwide, the Limited and the State government down there, so you can argue it either way..
Plus, you have to salute IBM's commitment to hiring the mentally handicapped (Ohio State graduates). What can you say about people who couldn't recognize a "horse chestnut" and invented a new name for it? Smart people check reference sources before they define a name like "Michigan Badger" for a "Wolverine."
What I don't like about the project is the mainframe-style thinking. They need to hire one person to do analytics-- all the tasks? Wouldn't it make a little more sense to train teams of people,, each with a critical skill, such as:
As a practicing generalist, I'm a big fan of looking for someone with breadth of skills, rather than propeller-heads who only know one thing. But these skills are not interrealted-- you wouldn't look for just one person to do all three types of work on a traditional development project So why, just because it's a new field, would you do it here?
By distributing the processing, you make it much easier to find people who can do the work. You also teach teamwork, something in short supply in most IT shops.
But, hey, it's IBM. Not fair to expect them to have two unconventional and brilliant ideas on the same project.
Sponsorship -- funding -- is clearly key, but I think the direct involvement of enterprises like IBM in the curriculum and outreach is also important, if the training is to be of real relevance to the workplace. I'm concerned that just adding an academic elective in "analytics" to a degree course might just produce students with credentials, who then need to be trained from scratch by businesses.
Maybe IBM and other companies need to sponsor a corporate/vocational version of the Khan Academy -- and make it easier for anyone to pick up business intelligence skills and earn credits for learning these big-data skills...
Good example of data being a competitive edge, Alison. That is what truly is changing business.
I think this model that Kim is reporting on is excellent. As we produce more development centers for the talent/use of analytics, I believe it will move organizations forward to help overcome the barriers to widespread use. We have needed a bridge between supply and demand.
I guess I am referring to the heterogeneous nature of data mentioned. However, what we see is the technology is now catching up to meet the fluid nature of the way real people data collect. For example, how about setting up a Kinect for Windows to see the way people move around the store, or how they reach or reject certain items. Tablets, sure. Or how about using a smart phone to take pictures of each of your customers when they come in...but then putting it in a visual database and using facial recognition to alert the salesperson, hey, your best customer just walked through the door!
As far as analysis, there are two revolutions. One is the big data and new analysis tools...but also in the types of data available in social and multi-media, and the way we can collect it.
There are still stores in New York (small, independent) which write out customer purchases in ledgers. Get a laptop at least, people.
Alison, of course I remember Mark Gastineau despite my best attempts going to dr after dr trying for true deletion of those Mark Gastineau memory holder braincells. And if Gastineau isn't enough you trump him with Dee Snider! I have a pretty good idea where that food market was located.
I worked at a small, privately-owned supermarket through high school and college. One way we competed against the large chains was through customer service, which included giving loyal (and some new) customers credit. They'd then come in once or twice a month and write a (big) check (our prices were a lot higher). As one of the top p/t employees, I was often asked to make decisions on whether we could let someone "charge," the only collateral being their phone number on the back of the receipt. Customers didn't want to wait around for someone to find the manager or assistant manager. It was all based on gut. I am sure, however, that the owner lost money on bad loans.
But I did get the numbers for several celebrities and people with minor star status that way, including Dee Snider and (if anyone remembers him) football player Mark Gastineau.(And, no, I never called any of them. And, yes, they all paid their bills!)

Douglas Carter was convicted in 1985 of the first-degree murder of Eva Olesen, 57, during a robbery at her Provo home. Olesen was stabbed 10 times and shot in the head.
Carter appealed to the Utah Supreme Court a ruling by Fourth District Court Judge Lynn W. Davis, who dismissed his petition for post-conviction relief. Carter had claimed that he received ineffective legal assistance after his initial conviction, but Davis ruled his claims were without merit.
The state Supreme Court agreed in a ruling Friday.

"My son loves this card, particularly as the green/gold color combination option reflects his school's colors. Using regular shipping, the order was on our doorstep in 2 1/2 days--remarkable as alleged "overnight" mail takes 2-3 days to receive in our rural area."
"I found it very difficult to find a simple layout that would work for twins for graduation. I was able to make this one work. I liked that I could add a photo to the back as well. In the back photo I put the twins in their university shirts. It would have been nice if I could have matched the font from the "class of" as part of my description. Overall it was a simple and elegant design that turned out great."
"Overall the card is great. I was a little disappointed with the size of the photo on the finished card. I thought it would look larger. Perhaps it was my choice of photo."
"The quality of the paper far exceeded my expectations! it was thick enough that when sent in the mail i didn't worry about it getting bent! I was very happy with my decision to order from tiny prints and would order from them again!"
"I would recommend Tiny Prints. However, I would make sure to tell them to make sure to tell you to center return address. All addresses on back of envelopes were about a quarter of an inch to the right. Bothersome to me, but no time to have you redo them."

It's really inconsiderate of the weather to remain super-hot, even when we're all being forced to go back to school and work. How are we supposed to sit in sweaty, non-air-conditioned offices and classrooms in this late-August heat? With delicious, refreshing snacks,that's how.
Office snacks are not only a great way to find a little relief on sweltering days–they've also been found to boost morale (by a pretty biased source, but still! Snacks!). And, if you're packing them for kids, can be a great way to get them to eat yummy, healthy, seasonal produce.
Don't drown your back-to-school (and work) sorrows in unhealthy, greasy comfort food. Instead, opt for one of these fresh summer-y ideas to keep the good feelings going…and the oppressive indoor heat at bay.

Please stop with the skulls. I love the bird shirt on the side though. How about that one instead? -
Phillyzero said 232 weeks ago
Pretty good design, but not a fan of women or skulls on my shirts. Agreed that the bird shirt to the side is a fairly nice alternative. -
Scarlet said 232 weeks ago
Like the second on the side. About this shirt, I just bought two skull shirts recently. I'll have to pbadonkadonk.
On a side note, seriously? Do you honestly censor "pbadonkadonk"? This is getting a little out of hand. -
Scarlet said 232 weeks ago
Great. Now we can't even say that we have decided to P A S S on a shirt. Beautiful. -

oiseau, i love you work! almost all of your pieces are so beautiful in their own way. it's so nice to check this site and be like 'at least... talent!' i would buy the majority of your shirts, if i could afford it.
i'm so pleased with teefury's choices lately, keep the good work coming! this is the teefury i know and love! -

One of my favorite designers and a neat shirt.
I prefer the side art, but I'm not complaining.
Woot for TeeFury animation in the lower right!!! -

Would have considered if the "hair" was actually one of those sailor hats like Donald Duck has.
I buggering LOVE that airplane. I remember commenting about it last time this dude had a shirt up. Has that one been printed yet? -

TeeFury the censorship is getting smurfed.
We can't say ANY word with "A S S" in it.
Assassinate. -
stablercake said 232 weeks ago
ok I can say Assassinate
But I can't say pass.
That's smurfed as...a swear word that will get censored. -
stablercake said 232 weeks ago
And now of course I can say pass when I try to set an example.
This is so fuxed. -

@ Scarlet:
Ummm. Just my opinion but I think a lot of the word censoring TeeFury does is more on the humorous side of things and less because they are really trying to censor you. Obviously they don't have a problem with the word "p a s s", but because every other comment often contains that word, they must have thought it would be funny to replace it with a more interesting word like "pbadonkadonk". I don't know. Personally it makes me chuckle. -
stablercake said 232 weeks ago
See, I get the humor in it, but it can get frustrating to figure out what people are actually trying to say :C
Or maybe I'm just too slow to connect the dots xD -
incredibleninja said 232 weeks ago
A lot of people will stop posting if their words are changed. Opinions drive the web, makes the plebeians feel important. Anyway, I like the shirt but the tree and the birds are another example of needless design being thrown at a perfectly good idea. Photoshop and like programs have turned every 2D form of expression into a infinitely layered jackson pollok painting of ambiguous symbols, designs, and lines. -
Teevil said 232 weeks ago
I removed that filter once it became clear that it was making communicating difficult. Sorry for the confusion! -
