In his quest to make "fun with, but never at" America's kitschy pop culture past, California-based humorist and chef Charles Phoenix has confounded many classic diner waitresses.
Arline Kouns, a server for four years at Hasty Tasty Pancake House on 3509 Linden Ave. in Dayton, had the classic response when Phoenix asked, as he often does in diners, for some sort of pancake 'face.' It is an experiment he does to see the 'artistry' that is produced.
"I was kind of like oooh," she said. "I was kind of like 'a grown man asking for it,' but it was OK. I told the kitchen and we took care of it."
Kouns delivered the $3.50 pancake breakfast special with the pancakes shaped like a bunny head. Phoenix added sausage patties where the eyes would have been.
The self-proclaimed "retro daddy" took a photo with Kouns and the pancakes.
"That shot was one of hundreds snaps Tuesday and Wednesday around the Dayton area.
The author known for his live shows and videos will use some of the photos taken during his voyage in Charles Phoenix's Retro Holiday Slide Show at 8 p.m. Thursday at the Dayton Art Institute, 456 Belmonte Park North.
The wry show will feature Kodachrome slides of American holiday life and style of the 1950s and 1960s, including pictures taken for Easter, Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years.
Phoenix said Hasty Tasty, which was founded in 1952, fit the bill.
"When you walk into a place, you feel the heart and soul of that place," he said. "This is the sort of place where time is in a blender."
Phoenix started his madcap tour of local landmarks Tuesday at K's Hamburger Shop in Troy. Phoenix and Eric Brockman, a Dayton Art Institute spokesman and Phoenix's guide, got there just as the place was closing.
"What is your favorite Dayton area 'landmark' - officials or unofficial?
The owner kept the lights on and told them all about her business. As a bonus, she fed them potato salad and red jello.
"It was the most beautiful Jello I have seen in 25 years," Phoenix, a fan of colorful artificially flavored foods, said. "I worry that collectively, we as a society are turning our backs on jello."
Phoenix said he was impressed with the generosity he found during his dozen or so stops here.
In New Carlisle he picked up a loaf of bread at Mel-O-Dee Restaurant & Catering and was given a free sample of the restaurant's famed broasted chicken. In Fairborn he stopped in Foy's and was taken down to the "dungeons."
Mike Foy, the third generation in his family to operate the business, gave Brockman, Phoenix and the Dayton Daily News a tour of the business's basement. A few wall spaces team with special treasures Foy has tucked away for safe keeping, including an animal print halloween costumes from the 1950s and Foy's grandfather's ledger from 1929.
"We are coming up on our 85th anniversary," Foy said. "My grandfather started the business three weeks before the stock market crashed. I always say that if my grandfather could get through the Great Depression, I can get through anything."
In his act, Phoenix finds humor in a time many criticize. He defends the era.
"People think it is tacky, but in actuality, there were really a lot of great designs," Phoenix said.
He added that he tries to celebrate the fact that mom and pops stores still maintain their character.
"I am looking for original. I am looking for one-of-a-kind. These people are reverse pioneers," he said. "The heart and soul of America is still alive and well, you just have to look for it."

Not what I expected

Comments about DHC Olive Hand Cream:
I like this product mostly being that it does make my skin smooth and is not too greasy, but the scent is offensive to me. It sort of has a fake plastic smell. It's not like the scent dissipates either, so I smell it all day, until I wash my hands really well. I will not purchase again, too bad, because it works good, but the scent offends me.

Great for Dry Hands
By Picky Shopper
from Schaumburg, IL
I have very dry hands and bought this hand lotion intended to carry in my purse for everyday use. It does a great job moisturizing my dry hands but it is a bit heavy/greasy and takes time to dry. I now use it only at night time as hand treatment before I go to bed.
Oh, yes!
By C.C. Gal
from Cape Cod
This is a life saver for those of us who forget the rubber gloves when washing dishes,pots and pans. My cuticles tend to be rough causing me to nibble on them, this makes them soft( even when I forget to use it every time I dry my hands).
By La Toi
from San Diego, CA
I actually feel like this hand cream is not moiturizing enough. My hands still feel a bit dry after using it. I keep it at my desk at work, so it's nice to use when I'm in between paperwork and computers. But it really seems to me like an average product.
I use this product daily! I am a nurse!

Soft, soft hands
By Patty Patty
from Concord, CA
I love this hand cream. It leaves my hands feeling so, so soft. It does not feel greasy at all. If you are allegic to perfumes, this is great. It does not have an odor at all. If I want a little extra moisture, I add a drop of DHC olive oil. I usually use this cream after I finish clean up the house and my hands have touched a lot of cleaning products.
Like this hand cream very much
By Karen
from Roseburg, OR
My hands are always soooooo dry, thought I would try this product and I'm glad I did. Perfect size to fit in my purse.
One of the best out there.
By Oily skin girl
from New Orleans
Out of all the hand lotions out there, this is the best.

Sessions, Jeff
The latest news on Sessions, Jeff
Sen. Jeff Sessions would like to be more involved in immigration reform.
For decades, conservative lobbyist Grover Norquist vowed to drive Republicans out of office if they didn't pledge to oppose tax increases. Many lawmakers signed on.
The Alabama senator addresses Americans' fears attached to reforms.
The administration looks increasingly out of step with the rest of the country.
Senate Democrats have attached the "don't ask, don't tell" repeal to a military spending bill.
Kagan's confirmation may be the Senate Democrats' only achievement this week.
Republicans said they needed more time to review Kagan's written answers to questions they posed.
Kagan fielded GOP challenges on abortion, gays in the military and other divisive issues.
It looks like Kagan will be confirmed by the full Senate.
Kagan testified of the current Supreme Court: "I'm sure everyone up there is acting in good faith."

An international economic chess game just got more interesting, and metal fabricators may one day see the benefits.
Today the Chinese currency rose against the dollar 0.42 percent in Asia—not much, but that's the biggest one-day gain in five years. This came after Chinese officials announced on Saturday that they would allow greater flexibility in the value of China's currency.
On one side of the table is President Obama and Congress; the other, the Chinese government. The issue: currency manipulation. China had pegged its currency to ours. Wherever the value of the U.S. dollar went, so did the renminbi. This gave what many have called an unfair advantage to Chinese exporters. It's something that's been painfully obvious to the manufacturing community, but a message that has had to be trumpeted again and again to the folks in Washington.

Better than 17-40 with one exception
By cpu_nut
from N. VA
I've had the 17-40 f4 L for a few years from BuyDig and loved it. I bought the 16-35 f2.8 L II and found that it may have better color correction at the edges and a pleasing color overall which, so far, I do not think is due to diffraction limited blending of contrast. The 16-35L II is much harder to get a good auto focus on the 5D Mk-II if I am in a hurry. I decided to sell the 17-40L and stick with the 16-35L II. It is only because I think I can mitigate the auto focus issue with patience which the 17-40L did not require. I'm not just talking about slow shutter speeds and f2.8 exposures. The first copy of the 16-35L II I had missed the focus on all points in the frame occasionally (like it focused beyond infinity) to the point of absurdity. The 2nd copy is much better and is good enough that I sold the beloved 17-40L.
I love this lens
By patnewman1
from Middle Island, NY
I have resisted buying this lens because I had a 17-35 which I felt was doing the job for me. What a difference 1 mm can be, This lens is awesome and well worth the money.

SCHUYLER, HERKIMER CO. (AP) -- Authorities say the death of 65-year-old woman in a collision with a parolee fleeing from police in the Mohawk Valley has led to criminal charges against the man.
State police say Monday that 24-year-old Daniel Conklin of Rochester has been indicted on felony manslaughter and assault counts along with other charges.
Trooper said Conklin crashed May 24 in the Herkimer County town of Schuyler while fleeing a village police officer trying to pull him over.
The wreck killed Gail Pietruska of Frankfort.
Conklin was arraigned and is being held without bail. A message left for his lawyer wasn't initially returned Monday afternoon.

text: I have an Antec SX1000 case, currently with 3 Antec 80mm fans, 2 in the back and 1 in the front. I want to buy 2 fans that have high CFM and decent noise for the rear exhaust fans. I heard something about that if you have more exhaust than intake you will create a low pressure system which will lower the CPU temps. not sure if its true but i just wanted to test it out. Anyways, what types of 80mm fans do you guys recommend. remember im looking for high CFM with decent noise. truthfully i dont care about the noise, just i think it would be nice if i didnt have to listen to the constant landing of a 747 Jumbo jet everytime i went into the computer room.

In a week that has been obsessed with Princess Kate's bangers and mash, it leaves me feeling flat. As Billy would say, they are much ado about nothing.
Can we move on? Now if anyone has pictures of Pippa's pippas then we might have something to talk about.
The most famous other-woman, Monica Lewinsky, felt that her life and reputation weren't quite at the bottom of the humidor, so she's writing a tell-all book. I'm sure it will be a marvelously captivating read. One wonders where she finds the time to pen such prose, when she's so busy hawking her wares on QVC.
Amanda Bynes was once half-famous. She isn't anymore and it seems that she isn't taking the news very well. This child has been arrested five times for several driving booboos, and yet she continues to get behind the wheel. Where are the baby's parents? There needs to be some Spears-like court motions immediately. Of course, the winner of Hollywood stability, Lindsay Lohan, got upset because Bynes didn't get in as much trouble as she did. I bet Linds complains when her rails aren't as thick as her friends as well. Everybody back to your corners.
In tales from the wig crypt, the devilishly handsome Denzel Washington (even his name is good looking), appears on a special issue of GQ magazine.
He is looking handsome in the blue-stiped suit. But I am concerned. Perhaps Pauletta isn't getting her needs met at home, because Denz is clearly sleeping outdoors based on the dead animal perched on his head.
Either that or maybe Monica sold him some spray-on hair from QVC. Either way, it's not cute Mr. Washington. Why do you want to make me cry?
Zsa Zsa Gabor's had her leg amputated early last year because of a blot clot.
First of all, Zsa Zsa is old - 95 to be precise.
Apparently her Prince small-c-charming hubby neglected to tell her that she no longer has
two-legs. How is that even possible?
I'd imagine that he could have Carrie-Bradshawed her and left it on a Post-It. He claimed that he didn't tell her to protect her from the bad news. So to recap: she is missing a leg, apparently doesn't have the use of one hand, eats through a feeding tube, is 95-years-old, and he doesn't want to give her bad news? If she still had two legs, she'd Gabor his ass right out the door.
I have a confession, darlings.
I have a little-girl crush on the likes of Dennis Rodman. The NBA wild card has always been unpredictable and loopy, but there is something about his broken-ness that sends me.
Anyway, he was recently on some sports show, talking about still being relevant at 51. He is 51? Doesn't matter to me.
I don't know if the Rodman was having a bad day, but he looked like someone had just collected him from the lost and found at the bus station. Come on, Denny. Don't let me down.
Remember that guy that was in that movie with Julia Roberts? No, not Richard Gere. Rupert Everett. He was also in that horrible movie with Madonna (there are so many to choose from). Rup seems to think that people still care about what his fish-lipped mouth has to say. Even though he seems like an awful person, he believes the reason his career never Gered-off is because he likes boys. Whatever, my little crumpet. The reason your career isn't leading-man level is because you are a pill. What's your damage? Get off the bitter bus and come play in the sun.
Until next time lovelies...

Reviews for Strawberry Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing(65)
Sort By :
This dressing is great! I've been looking for a poppy seed dressing recipe! The only change I made was using honey instead of sugar. It gave the dressing more depth. Oh, and the addition of avocados to the salad made it more filling, and tasty!
Outstanding! Added some roasted chicken breast and mandarin oranges. Couldn't ask for an easier and more delicious summer dinner :)
This dressing was awesome. Just tart enough. To make it a little healthier I used fat free mayo & sour cream. Couldn't tell any difference. This is a keeper.
I was expecting a good salad. I was not expecting one of the best salads I've ever had, but it is. I'll be making it for every cook out and get together this summer. Yum.
I made this for a valentine's day party that served 50+ people. Everyone said it was beautiful & delicious and one person said it was the highlight of the whole dinner!

I´m taking a wild stab here but my guess is the average peoson on welfare wuld have to make $15-16 an hour to make the same money they´re getting in government benefits when you include free medical care,workers have to pay for themselves. There´s no incentive for these people to work when you can live the same lifestyle for free.Looking at a poverty person´s cash income as a barometer of their misery is a huge lie and distraction and meant to keep pulling the white guilt chain.The government has the resources to calculate the average number of calories in the average food stamp cart and see it´s way over what a healthy family should eat. But instead of restricting those type food purchases,they´re going to come up with a fat and sugar tax to punish everybody,obese or not.Everything the liberals do lays the groundwork for more revenue,it´s just a matter of conditioning the public for it.Bloomberg´s soda tax is designed to condition the public for food taxes.If there is a fat and sugar tax,the food stamp crowd will just get an increase every month as an offset.

Okla. Leads Way in 10th Amendment Movement
The Oklahoma House of Representatives on February 18 became the first state legislative body this year to pass a resolution affirming its "sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the Constitution of the United States." This resolution, HJR1003, was passed by the very lopsided margin of 83 to 13.
Ohio Constitutional Convention Resolution Killed by Grassroots Pressure
On December 10 the Judiciary Committee of the Ohio House held a hearing on House Joint Resolution No. 8 (HJR 8), "Applying to the Congress of the United States pursuant to Article V of the United States Constitution to call a constitutional convention for proposing amendments." A couple days earlier an AP article had stated that there could be a "possible vote" on HJR 8 at the hearing. However, pro-constitution citizens, including members of the John Birch Society, Campaign for Liberty, and other like-minded groups, had been alerted about the hearing late in the preceding week.
Idaho House First to Nullify ObamaCare
On Wednesday, February 16, the Idaho House became the first state legislative body to pass a measure to nullify the entire ObamaCare law within a state.
The measure, HB117, was sent to the state Senate by a vote of 49-20. Only seven Republicans voted against the bill along with all of the House Democrats.
The Fed's Hockey Stick Chart
On his January 29 TV show, Glenn Beck drew national attention to a relatively obscure graph of our nation's "monetary base" (a narrow definition of money supply, also known as M0) maintained online by the Research Department of the St. Louis Federal Reserve. The reason for the special attention was the dramatic hockey stick shape of the graph that developed during the last few months of 2008. Beginning about September the usually stable graph of monetary base vs. years shot virtually straight up for the remainder of the year.
Oklahoma Rescinds All Previous Constitutional Convention Calls
Oklahoma continues to lead the nation in Constitution-oriented legislation at the state level. The Tenth Amendment resolution introduced in the Oklahoma legislature last year by Rep. Charles Key has led to at least 30 states introducing similar Tenth Amendment resolutions so far this year. These amendments call for the restoration of the balance of power between state and federal governments in accordance with the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. At least 12 states, including Oklahoma, have already passed a Tenth Amendment resolution in one or both houses.
Inflation Is the Reason for Attending Tax Day Tea Parties Today
Today is the day hundreds of thousands of Americans have been waiting for — the Tax Day Tea Parties. Although it's very hard to forecast just how many will participate, the mere fact that around 2,000 Tax Day Tea Party events have been planned for today means that it would only take an average of 200 at each gathering to yield 400,000 participants. Of course, many of these tea parties will have many thousands at the least. Fox News will have live TV broadcasts from four cities (San Antonio, Sacramento, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C.) during the day featuring Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and other Fox News personalities.
The Meaning of the Tax Day Tea Parties
A new grassroots phenomenon is sweeping the nation — Tax Day Tea Parties. One of the leading sponsoring organizations, the American Family Association (AFA), has announced on its website that AFA TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party Day rallies on April 15 are now scheduled in 1,837 cities. Meanwhile, the originators of the Tax Day Tea Party concept at taxdayteaparty.com list hundreds of Tea Parties scheduled for April 15.
Ron Paul Would Restore Sound Money by Legalizing Competing Currencies
On September 13, 2011, Ron Paul chaired a hearing before his Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology subcommittee entitled "Road Map to Sound Money: A Legislative Hearing on H.R. 1098 and Restoring the Dollar." This hearing was held in support of H.R. 1098, the "Free Competition in Currency Act of 2011," a bill that Paul had introduced on March 15, 2011.
Obama's Deceptive Government Takeover of Healthcare
"I happen to be a proponent of a single payer, universal healthcare plan.... That's what I'd like to see, but as all of you know, we may not get there immediately." — Barack Obama, June 2003. (Click here to see video.)

Review: Tout Wars
I stand accountable for my actions. More times than not I'm right, but sometimes I make mistakes. When I do, I'm not afraid to admit it. I'd like to think that helps to set me out a bit in this industry. I try to be transparent and truthful. To that end, I thought I would spend a few days reviewing the results from my "experts leagues." It wasn't exactly pretty, I'll be straight forward with that, but again I don't believe in running and hiding. Here is how things went in my first year in Tout Wars (I was in the mixed league with 15 clubs).
It all went wrong from the day the draft was held. The following three players saw me battle down to the end, it's an action league, but ultimately I stopped bidding on all of them a dollar short (I was the runner up for each if you will): Edwin Encarnacion, Zack Greinke and Andrew McCutchen. In their place I ended up with Pablo Sandoval, Cliff Lee and B.J. Upton. Pretty understandable how I didn't finish higher in the league isn't it now? Speaking of Lee, I'm flabbergasted at his total of six wins. I started him every time he took the hill this year, so let's saw he won 13 games and not six this season (his performance warranted 13 victories, at least, and he averaged 16 wins the previous four years). If I had seven more victories to my team total I would have gone from 86 wins to 93 victories. That alone would have netted me three more points in the standings and put me into 8th place overall. It's always amazing how closely these things end up being after 162 games. If I had rostered EE, Greinke and McCutchen… I don't even want to try and figure that out cause it would likely make me want to vomit.
Suzuki and Buck both had career worst seasons.
Carlos Lee was passable but Gaby Sanchez went from productive to the minors. Dreadful.
Chase Utley was supposed to miss about a month. He ended up playing only 83 games. Dustin Ackley played on a bad ankle all year and was terrible. At least Danny Espinosa turned out pretty damn well with 17 homers, 20 steals and 82 runs scored.
Derek Jeter was a star and a fantastic $13 investment on draft day.
Pablo Sandoval was solid when on the field. He didn't get to even 400 at-bats though.
Nelson Cruz stayed healthy but didn't perform to his previous levels, though surprisingly he remained relatively healthy. B.J. Upton was supposed to miss a week. Turned out to nearly be a month even though he was very impressive when on the field. Alex Rios – superstar effort for $13. Carl Crawford was thought to be good to go by May 1st at the latest. Hey, it was worth the risk as my 4th outfielder. Turns out his season was an unmitigated disaster as he had more injuries than John J. Rambo picks up when saving people in the jungle. He appeared in 31 games. Denard Span was a decent 5th OF in a 15 team mixed league, especially for $2, as he hit .283 with 17 steals.
On the hill Cliff Lee pitched very well, but couldn't get any run support at all. Felix Hernandez wet the bed in September, but overall he had a very impressive season. John Danks, was injured and made just nine starts. Chad Billingsley was having a nice bounceback season but made 25 starts, his lowest total in five years, cause of injury. James McDonald was a fantastic reserve round add even if he too died in the second half. Oh, and Ricky Nolasco? It's time to give up there. In the pen I had a tremendous group with Tyler Clippard, Sergio Romo (I bought the duo for $7) and Kenley Jansen. However, Sergio Santos was a total bust due to injury, and literally right after Mariano Rivera was hurt and David Robertson was moved into the closing role, Robertston also came up lame. You guessed it. I also had Robertson on my staff. I could have had Romo/Clippard/Robertson/Jansen, all as closers, for a total of $13. That's how you put together a pitcher staff without spending big dollars on closers. I finished second in the league in saves even with the injuries to Sergio Santos/Robertson and the Giants stubbornness in not using Romo as the closer until late in the year.
Missed substantial time on DL: Utley, Sandoval, Upton, Crawford, Santos, Robertson, Danks, Billingsley. When you lose that many guys in a 15 team league, it's rough to play catchup. Not that I didn't try considering that I had, at one time or another, 44 hitters and 25 pitchers work their way through my lineup.
CONGRATS: Cory Schwartz who won the league. Greatest celebration picture ever by the way.
FINAL RESULT: 9/15. Just wasn't meant to be this year.

On Saturday evening, officers were dispatched to Highland Community Hospital in reference to an aggravated assault.
When officers arrived at the hospital, they spoke with the victim, who said she was attacked at her residence, said Jeremy Magri, assistant to the chief of police.
"The victim said she was in the yard of her residence, on Lewis Circle, with some friends" when a vehicle came to a stop in front of the residence, Magri said.
At that time, the suspect, later identified as Jasmine Anthony, 23, of 38378 James Crosby Rd., Pearl River, La., got out of the vehicle, Magri said. "With a knife visible in her hand, Anthony started a verbal altercation with the victim," he said.
Anthony approached the victim and swung the knife at her, stabbing her in her arm, said Magri. "The victim said she attempted to defend herself but realized the severity of her wound," and Magri said she was worried about her safety.
When Anthony fled the scene, the victim "went to the hospital to seek medical attention," Magri said.
Through further investigation, officers determined that Anthony was a Louisiana resident and the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Department was notified, he said.
"The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Department located Anthony and took her into custody on an aggravated assault warrant," Magri said.
Anthony is being held at the St. Tammany Parish Jail awaiting extradition, he said.

A federal magistrate refused Tuesday to order prosecutors to provide former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin with a copy of a sealed report on alleged prosecutorial misconduct before his trial on bribery charges.

Rated 5 out of 5 by razorbacks great product
I bought this raincoat with the idea of using it for turkey hunting in South Arkansas. What a great product. It packs easily in my turkey vest and takes up about as much room as two box calls stacked on top of each other. It is very light weight and very water resistant. It does make a bit of noise. Good for deer hunting when it's warm and rainy but a bit loud for bowhunting (unless the wind is blowing)

Writing SEO friendly listing headlines
Like (0)
Get answers to all of your questions from fellow owners and travelers.
Customize your experience by selecting your role:
Owner, Property Manager, or Traveler
Jeff, I think I figured out the "Like" issue (please see my message to Tom). But I have another question: On the "Headline" for my property ad, I followed the advice of your expert and separated the words describing the features using a dash, rather than a comma and a space to save a character, thereby allowing more information. A friend said this may be problematic from the SEO standpoint as Google and other search engines may treat the entire headline as one word and not pick up the individual words. Do you know whether using a dash rather than a comma and a space will be self-defeating from the SEO standpoint? Thanks! Pat
Hi Pat,
A good way to think about it is, what is the easiest way for a person to read and understand the text. Perhaps surprisingly, it will be similar for the machines behind a search engine. Maybe an example will help.
I think it's fair to say that #5 is the easiest to read and understand the individual words and phrases.
In every other example, a person or a machine would need to process more to determine where the actual words are and how they relate to each other. And there is a risk with each one that the concepts you are trying to communicate are understood properly.
What may have been blurred for you was that there are different cases where using hyphens is preferred. Typically when building a URL, hyphens are preferred over spaces (represented by underscores) and other punctuation. But when it comes to text on a page, you want to defer toward making it readable and meaningul for people.
If we take the headline that's on your VRBO listing right now, "Seasonal Specials-Grt. Views-Mod. Amenities @ Popular Chalet!", there is some risk that "Specials-Grt." and "Views-Mod." are not understood by machines, even though people will figure it out.
I approach headline writing as a fun challenge, like a game. How much useful information can you fit in a finite space that is still easily understandable at a glance. Writing a great headline is tough to do!
I haven't reviewed them all, but there are some articles about writing headlines on this site.
Thanks for the help re: the 'headline' issue. I hadn't used dashes 'till I viewed the webinar that deals with this issue and though I'd give it a try to pack in a little more info on my VRBO listing headline. I'll go back to using a comma & space, even though I will have to abbreviate something else to make up the spaces. I know the SEO issue is important and I want to avoid hindering that.
Also, I wasn't able to open the private message you also sent. When I attempted to open it, I got the following error message:
"There was an error, please check below."
followed by:
"It appears you're not allowed to view what you requested. You might contact your administrator if you think this is a mistake."
Not sure what to do to open this - any suggestions?
Thanks for all the help!
Hi Pat,
My note was just to let you know that I moved this portion of the thread from Facebook to here. We will try to figure out what the problem is with the private message in case it's more widespread.
Jeff, I agree with you that writing a good listing title is almost like solving a puzzle. With only so much space, it's tricky to do! Do you think Homeaway would ever consider adding a few more spaces to the headline box? I'd be thrilled with even 5-6 extra spaces so I could avoid using dashes,slashes or commas to separate words
I think HomeAway would consider, but I couldn't commit to getting it done since there are likely a number of other useful, but competing features customers would like to see.
It would be helpful to have a sense of how many people would find it valuable to have a bit more space on the headline.
Amy, it might be interesting if you ran a poll in this space or up a level at the advertising space to gauge the interest.
In the meantime, I peaked at your listings and I think there is a ready way to pick up 5-6 spaces in your headlines. If you switched from pipe delimiters to commas, you'd save one space in each case. It might let you squeeze in one more word. ... Otherwise your headlines look quite good, in my opinion.
Hi Jeff, oh my...I bet I could get you a lot of owners who would LOVE to have a little more space for their headlines. I'll put up a poll here today, plus ask my Smokies Yahoo group for some input. I think this would be a very valuable improvement and aid for VR owners. A few extra characters would go a long way!
Thanks for taking a look at my headlines. I'm surprised that using the "vertical slash" as I call it (pipe delimiters sounds so fancy LOL) took up less room than a comma because no space was needed after it. Example:
Great View|2 Master Suites|WIFI|Fireplace|Pool Table|Pets Welcome!
Great View, 2 Master Suites, WIFI, Fireplace, Pool Table, Pets Welcome!
If I take out the space after the comma that I'd normally put in, it would look like
Great View,2 Master Suites,WIFI,Fireplace,Pool Table,Pets Welcome!
I can't see where it's saving me any extra spaces, but maybe you can help me see where the difference between the pipe delimiters and commas with no space after them. I use the pipe delimiters to stand out from the other headlines but I know you had told me last year at the summit that they kind of hurt SEO...that commas are much better to use. <sigh> I may have to go back to those darned old commas if it's saving space and helps the search engines.
Please, please consider lengthening the headline box. What a help that would be to everyone with a listing.
Hi Amy,
When I looked at your listings it did look like there was a space before and after the pipe. More like " | " rather than "word|word".
If it was the latter, you're right that it would save space, but you'd run into the same situation as Pat where it would be hard to read and understand for people and search engines. If it's the former, then you gain one space by switching to commas.
I'll try to keep the nerd terms out next time.
I agree, Jeff. It does look like there's a space before and after the pipe thingy. Example cut and pasted below for benefit of others on this thread:
But this is how the VRBO font for headlines displays it when you use the pipe, and I haven't used the space bar at all. Sure looks like it, doesn't it?
That's why I switched from commas to the pipe because it required no hard space, while using a comma meant I had to hit the space bar right after using it. I thought this would be the smart solution to squeezing as much into the box as possible but still keeping it easy to read.
So basically for SEO and readability, you're suggesting commas are pretty much the only way to go, right? It sounds like my headlines need to go on a diet and lose a few characters. Bummer!

Job Seeker Scam Uses Fake Checks with BBB Name
Wednesday, February 20th, 2013Eager to break into acting or modeling? Don't let your ambition get the better of you. Use caution when applying to jobs and don't fall for a check cashing scam that uses Better Business Bureau's name.
How the Scam Works:
You reply to a help wanted ad for a modeling, acting or promotional gig. After you send your resume and/or introductory message, you start getting emails from an "agent" who tells you that you've got the job.
Starting your new gig is easy, according to the emails. Your agent mails you a check that supposedly covers your hourly fee and expenses, such as transportation and meals. You only need to deduct $350 "to confirm your bookings with the production accountant" and wire the money ASAP to the name and address provided.
In a twist, scammers are using phony shipping labels to mail the checks. Job seekers report receiving envelopes that have Better Business Bureau's name and return address on them. Scammers are using the BBB name (and likely name of other established organizations) to lend credibility to their con.
If you follow the email's instructions and deposit the check, the full amount will appear to be in your bank account immediately. However, it takes several days for the check to completely clear. When the bank sees the check is a fraud, they will deduct the money from your account. If you wired the money to the "production accountant," you will be out the $350.
How to Spot a Fake Job Ad:
- Job postings and reply emails with a lot of grammatical errors and misspellings are likely scams.
- Ads containing the phrases "Immediate Start" and "No Experience Needed" are popular in scam ads.
- If a job looks suspicious, search for it in Google. If the result comes up in many other cities with the exact same job post, it is likely a scam.
- Be very cautious of any job that asks you to share personal information or hand over money. Scammers will often use the guise of running a credit check, setting up direct deposit or paying for training.
- Check out the business's website to make sure the opening is posted there. If you are still skeptical, call the business to check on the position.
For More Information
See BBB's information pages, for more tips about avoiding check cashing and employment scams.

So it's Earth Day today, and there are all sorts of blog posts out there on saving energy like saving a few watts with a new and better lightbulb, or pissing a lot of people of by driving a little slower on the highways. All these honorable initiatives are great and admirable, but I don't think they have much effect, because there are just way too few does these things (maybe we are just too stupid and/or lazy), and what we do is far from enough. What we really need is the politicians to set tough goals and invest heavy in technologies that really can make a change.
So what can you really do? Well you can vote for the politicians you think will do the most to make that happen. Currently the American Presidential election is still on-going, so judge from yourself. All 3 candidates have a page dedicated to environmental issues, so I pulled some bullets from their campain websites (but go read the full thing on the links before you decide), so you can judge from yourself. Of course there are many other important issues to look at, but given the current state of the world and that the United States wastes more energy than anyone else, I personally think it's of the highest importance. We had a great run the last century, but I'm afraid we have to start paying the bills...
Hillary Clinton - http://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/energy/
Barack Obama - http://www.barackobama.com/issues/energy/
Johm McCain - http://www.johnmccain.com/Informing/Issues/65bd0fbe-737b-4851-a7e7-d9a37cb278db.htm
No bullets to pull from his website. Generally very vague plans (especially compared to many of his other important issues, like the right to bear arms): "Along with his commitment to clean air and water, and to conserving open space, he has been a leader on the issue of global warming with the courage to call the nation to action on an issue we can no longer afford to ignore. [...] By addressing this problem responsibly, John McCain believes we can meet our obligation to be proper caretakers of creation, in a manner of which we can be proud - by protecting our country, strengthening our economy, and addressing the challenges of our time, rather than leaving a much worse problem for our children".
So what am I going to vote you may ask? Well unfortunately I'm caught in the legal void between two countries and therefore not allowed to perform my democratic responsibility, but hopefully I made one or two people change their mind for the better with this blogpost.
And sorry for the off-topic post.

This letter followed a meeting, whose premise is detailed in a previous post, with MO-3 Congressman Carnahan's District Director Jim McHugh. I'm not certain that we made any earth-shaking changes with this meeting, but I think it was a very effective meeting that can be the foundation from which we have more fruitful conversations.
–Thank you for taking the time to meet with us last week. I think there is a consensus from within the group that we'd like to continue this dialogue with yourself and members of the legislative staff in DC.
You specifically asked me to remind you of the suggestion, that, if the congressman makes a trip to one of our war zones, that he request to be protected by soldiers, not blackwater or other non-military, personnel. And we'd like to know about the Congressman's role in the committee that is planning to dig-up information about war-zone profiteers.
Looking at some of my notes, there were a few points/questions I wanted to make following our conversation. Please take them as they are, forward them on to policy folks, and/or respond at your discretion. There are some instances of pronoun mix-ups (i.e. saying "you" when it might be someone else entirely doing that work), but this is directed to you and the entire Carnahan staff (including the Congressman) as based on our conversation.
-1- The C-17's use as a humanitarian vehicle. Again, we're aware that this is a technologically amazing airplane, but the military has said it has enough and by asking the military to take on humanitarian missions is outside of the role the US military should be playing in the world. Humanitarian aid should go through the State Department. I'm in the process of writing a longer description of the importance of distinguishing between the roles of the State and Defense Departments and promise to get you a draft upon completion.
-2- The F/A(E/A)-18 Superhornet/Growler vs the F-35 JSF. Again, the superhornet is a remarkable plane and, of course, it's made here in St Louis. I don't want to make it seem like I or anyone else who was there the other day is excited about spending any money on any new jet-fighters, I think we come from the perspective that if your only tool is a hammer things start to look an awful lot like nails. BUT, if the DoD and US Government are intent on spending billions of dollars on planes, let's at least do it somewhat responsibly. The very simple point that I would like to make is that if the Congressman and his peers are going to lobby for the Boeing Superhornets as alternatives to the Lockheed JSFs, make sure the money comes out of the proposed funds for the JSF. Do not tack it onto any war supplemental. If the genuine argument is that one plane is better and more affordable than the other, put your money where your mouth is and stop spending so much the more wasteful piece of equipment in order to fund the less wasteful piece of equipment.
-3- Boeing going green. You mentioned Boeing's smart-grid technology. If Boeing doesn't bring those Green jobs to St Louis, what good does it do us? and what will the future of Boeing in St Louis look like? I know that Boeing pulls a lot of weight around here, but they pull a lot of weight everywhere – we're not especially special. Without these wars, some of the people at the St Charles plant will be laid off [this is a depressing reality]. The C-17 and F-18 lines have limited (10 years would be optimistic) life-spans. What happens after these wars and after we run out of foreign orders for these planes? We want those green jobs here. If Boeing doesn't present a plan to diversify their St Louis work, you should stop spending your time talking to them and start making plans for the constituents they are making plans to fire in the next several years.
Thanks again for your time and service to the region. How should we proceed with having follow-up conversations with you and other staffers?
Until next time,
Andy Heaslet
Peace Economy Project Director

Hooded Menace
Fulfill The Curse
The extreme metal scene of Finland may not be as fecund as that of neighboring Sweden but it does seem to produce acts of exceedingly high quality, such as Amorphis, Demigod, Demilich and Impaled Nazarene, to name a few. Hooded Menace continue the tradition of quality Finish metal with their debut CD Fulfill the Curse, an unholy creeping horror of a doom metal record.
Hooded Menace play the sort of torturously slow, crushingly heavy doom popularized by early nineties bands like Winter and Cathedral (circa Forest of Equilibrium). This style of crawling doom is well suited to the band's horror movie motif which is evidenced by song titles like "Rotting Rampage (Menace of the Skeletal Dead)," "The Eyeless Horde" and "The Love Song of Gotha, Hunchback of the Morgue" and the various samples of screams, creepy noises and demented monologue interspersed between the songs. The sepulchral, death metal styled vocals further augment the eldritch atmosphere.
Musically, Hooded Menace is surprisingly melodic; the band often employs mournful single note riffs that are reminiscent of Candlemass, (if Candlemass overdosed on Quaaludes). The lead guitar is also quite integral to the band's sound, adding complementary melodic themes to the underlying rhythms as in "Grasp of the Beastwoman" and the infectious dual lead line in "The Eyeless Horde," and brief but memorable accent phrases, such as the six note lick during the main riff of "Beauty and the Feast". The band's penchant for melody is brought entirely to the fore in the closing track, "The Theme from Manhattan Baby," a majestic dirge with a soaring theme that borders on transcendent. However, while melody is prominent, the band spends no small amount of time bombarding the listener with megalithic power chords, and though the songs never approach a tempo anywhere near fast, there is plenty of mid-paced trudging to get one's head a-banging, the galloping "Children of the Grave" riff in "The Love Song of Gotha" being a prime example of such.
Fulfill the Curse is not an easy listen; at forty eight minutes, the album's massive, unrelenting wall of sound and snail-like pacing may overwhelm the casual listener and the compositional subtleties may go unnoticed. However, for those willing to give the album the attention it deserves, it is a rewarding listening experience.
Hooded Menace manages to combine dark beauty and macabre menace in a compelling manner, refreshingly devoid of any gothic trappings. If you like your doom metal slow, heavy and horrifying, then by all means, get this album and Fulfill the Curse.
