There was a neat little post on search engine roundtable today and it seemed to have raised interest in many website owners. The information provided by the author of the article was't very useful, so I have decided to rehash the article here, in order to provide some insight on the topic. Truth is, the internet doesn't hide anything – no matter the topic, it has been mentioned many times online, so whatever topics you and I decide to write, it has already been done, and as time moves forward, the web will be filled with more and more crap content. Search Engines rank articles higher in the search engine report pages (SERP) when the content is fresh (up to date), unique (not copied but written by you), and provides a lot of insightful information, in length.
How many backlinks you need to rank your website on the first page of Google or any other search engine, isn't the question we need t answer here.The question is, how often should I create backlinks or at what consistency. When you build links without knowing what you're doing, you can very easily set off red flags and spam filters via the search engines. Things like this is what gets your website penalized and or deindexed. Pay close attention, as I explain to you exactly how this is done correctly.
Link Velocity is the term used when defining the speed used, at which links are established. Link building should appear to the search engines to be as natural as possible. When I say that, it is extremely important that you follow the guidelines below:
In order to make your link building to appear as natural as possible, it's really important to your businesses success that if you begin building links at a high volume, that you remain creating links at a high volume. Only gradual increasing is acceptable at anytime. If you start out building links at a low volume, then you my friend, better continue doing the same on a daily basis. It's fine if you miss a day. Links are not found by search engines until any given search engine crawls the website in which you created a link. Some webmasters choose to ping their backlinks. Some choose to not ping their backlinks. I suggest you not to ping your links, it is much more natural if you allow search engines to find your links naturally. Pinging is acceptable at certain times only, those times are when you create links to places that are rarely crawled, such as forums profiles. I wouldn't ping all those either. You don't want a search engine (Google for instance) to locate 40k links today and only 3 links tomorrow. Remember – your links should always appear as natural as possible to any given search engine – at any given time. Anything less than that is just not acceptable tom search engines.
Search Engines are owned and operated by people – those just like you and me. As humans, we don't like it when others take advantage of us. Then again, as long as Google is a search engine, there will be those who try and game it, and since Google is a system, it will always have loop holes. In life, we manage our day to day by doing what's right (at least most of us do) and well — in order to succeed via SEO or link building, you must provide quality and build a legitimate website. Blackhat SEO is a very short term success, and those of you who practice blackhat marketing, will inevitably fail.
SEO is a long term process. Anything in life worth achieving, is never easy and as long as you always keep that in back of your mind, your never fail. SEO success doesn't come over night nor were the pyramids of Egypt build overnight. No matter what you read on other websites, SEO takes time, unless you "attempt" to game the system or hire a blackhat marketer. It would be a damn shame to start making a lot of money and have your family thinking you're doing something good to help them and that (false) success only last for one week. Those of you who are spammers and blackhat, should be ashamed. It doesn't take blood, sweat and tears to make money online, but it does take a little effort and a little time.
In 2013 – in my opinion, the most beneficial form of link building is natural link building via content marketing. What exactly does all of this mean? It means that you must begin writing more content. Those who take my SEO Class, I make them write thirty articles, in thirty days. I have seen a huge success rate doing this with my clients. When you write thirty articles on your blog, in thirty days, it forms a habit. Afterwards you then, by yourself start to write a new, fresh and truly unique piece of content on your blog, daily.
Content that contains your personality is read and shared online. After you generate 60-90 posts, your website will begin to see a good bit of traffic, and those that enjoy your content, will share it. This is called natural link building. There's none of that boring link building work required on your part, there's only the creation of content involved. This is not only natural link building in the eyes of Google but it is the means of your success.
I Don't Have Time To Write
Trust ye' me – I understand more than anyone about not having ample time to do the tasks required in online marketing — that is why I provide these services here on RxSEO! You have your business, getting it seen is ours. I don't like to create advertising content, because people just don't enjoy being sold nor do they enjoy reading advertisements. So, to keep this post full of quality, I won't promote my services here. For those of you who might need our help, you know what to do If you've found this article to be useful for you, please share it and comment below.

Design, Development & the Elections?
The run up to the U.S. Presidential Elections on November 6 is causing quite the conversation, and whichever candidate you're behind (or passionately not behind), there are a couple of outlets to channel your energy.
Pit your favorite (or least favorite) politicos against one another in this arcade-style action fighting game. Currently on Android (coming soon to iOS) this new app by Mighty Bits gives you a chance to debate the old-fashioned way – much like Tuesday night's Town Hall debate. Curious about the making of the app? Check out our Gaming team's post, "From Rock the Vote to Smash Vote!"
For those who talk about leaving the country when their candidate of choice loses, JetBlue will be there to make that a reality for a lucky winner of its new campaign, Election Protection, as covered by Design Envy.

Score One For Corks In The Screwcap Versus Cork Debate
We are back to talking about screwcap versus cork with wine closures. After I attended the Unified Grape and Wine Symposium I was pretty sure that the debate was over, screwcap was the future of the marketplace. But Decanter has some news that could change everything. According to recent tests conducted by Cairn Environment for Oeneo Bouchage in France, screwcaps produce the biggest carbon footprint. The production of screwcaps gives off far more CO2 than the production of both corks and synthetic closures.
Will this make a difference in how screwcaps are perceived by the world? With the increasing push toward green products this news could have an impact. Another thing that the article doesn't mention but that might also be a consideration is the recycling of wine closures. In that case I would suspect that cork might also come out ahead.

Dear readers,
I would like to invite you to an architectural history tour to take place in central Bucharest, in the area around the Royal Palace, which contains the Romanian Athenaeum, the symbol of this town and many other landmark buildings that imprints its personality. The tour is scheduled on Saturday 23 November 2013, for approximately two and a half hours, between 11.00h – 13.30h. This cultural excursion may be of interest to any of you visiting the city as a tourist or on business looking to find out more about its fascinating historic architecture and identity.
Bucharest has had a number of central areas as it evolved from a medieval market town in what is now the Lipscani quarter, within a bend of the Dambovita river, afterward periodically shifting its location, following directions toward its main trading partners: to the south and east during the centuries of Ottoman domination, or to the north once the European powers had the upper hand in the region starting with the mid-c19th. What we call today the centre of Romania's capital, the objective of our tour, emerged less than one and a half century ago, gathering some of its most iconic buildings, from the Athenaeum, a magnificent concert hall in the Beaux Arts style, built in a first phase in 1888, designed by the French architect Albert Galleron, to the neoclassical outlines of the former Royal Palace (arch. N. Nenciulescu, 1937) that today hosts the National Art Museum, or the futuristic glass structure that crowns the neo-Renaissance building of the former Habsburg Embassy gutted by fire in the anticommunist revolution of 1989. We will also examine the Athenee Palace hotel, the famous spynest where British, US and German spies tried to outwit each other in the years and months before the Second World War, or the despised former Central Committee of the Communist Party, where the dictator Ceausescu and his wife had to leave in haste to meet their fate, pursued by the revolted people of Bucharest. The area is also still bearing bullet marks from the anticommunist revolution or even older traces left by the German bombs of August 1944. We will also visit and examine the site of the former National Theatre, the equivalent of England's the Globe for Romania, and Cretzulescu Church, a masterwork of the Barncovan style peculiar to the province of Wallachia, among many other objectives. The tour will end with a visit at Aman Museum, as an architectural history apotheosis, an edifice that is a magnificent piece of Little Paris interior and exterior design. All of those exquisite sights, highly concentrated in a quite small perimeter, extolling some of the most important architectural landmarks in town are awaiting to be discovered and photographed by you!
Book by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or using the comments section of this post. You will be informed of meeting place on booking.
I look forward to seeing you at the tour,
Valentin Mandache, expert in Romania's historic houses (tel: 0040 (0)728323272)
I endeavour through this series of periodic articles to inspire appreciation of the historic houses of Romania, a virtually undiscovered, but fascinating chapter of European architectural history and heritage.
If you plan acquiring or selling a historic property in Romania or start a renovation project, I would be delighted to advice you in sourcing and transacting the property, specialist research, etc. To discuss your particular plan please see my contact details in the Contactpage of this weblog.

Nature's Mercy
++ +
603(Refreshing Ornament)+ Minor Totem(53) + 875(Life tube) + Recipe(600)
+ 8 Health Regeneration
+ 3 Strength
+ 3 Agility
+ 3 Intelligence
Passive: Heals all friendly heroes within 500 units for 30% of all healing done to you. Nature's Mercy's heal cannot trigger another Nature's Mercy's effect.
Active: Changes item to Death's Respite
Death's Respite
+ 3 Strength
+ 3 Agility
+ 3 Intelligence
-8 Health Regeneration Aura to enemy heroes
Passive: Damages all enemy heroes within 500 units for 30% of all healing done to you in true damage.
TOTAL: 2131g
The most important thing is that YOU VOTE after reading this. Comments and Suggestions are always welcome.
- Great Early/Mid game support item - Affordable Price - Nice health regeneration for you and your allies - Great on support heroes or those carries with super crazy life steal.
Important Notes:
(Bad sides marked with blue, good with green.)
* This does not work with 's ultimate, as it doesn't "heal", because it just converts damage to health instead.
* The healing done by Nature's Mercy will not trigger an endless chain of heals through other Nature's Mercies or itself, as Barbed Armor does not trigger other Barbed Armors or itself.
* When it heals all friendly heroes within 500 units, it will also heal you as well.
* Health Regeneration DOES work though this, so its pretty much a bonus to other people's health regeneration as well.
* Life Steal does trigger this effect. Yup, around 15% of the damage you do with Elder parasite will heal others for 30% of the life you gained from it.
* Does not stack, Having 2 of these will just give you more stats, not a 40% healing increment.
*Death's respite works the other way around, you damage based on how much healing you get. All of the above pretty much applies in the ways it can.
*Life steal + Death's Respite = Greatness, no?
Nature's Mercy
Math: (considering that is the highest amount of health you can gain from the abilities/items)
Jereziah's Heal = 360 Health
360 x 0.3 = 108 Health, total of 468 hp
Shaman's Heal = 140 Health
140 x 0.3 = 42 Health, total of 182 hp
Soul Reaper's Heal = 130 Health
130 x 0.3 = 39 Health, total of 169 hp
Ophelia's Ultimate = 400 Health
400 x 0.3 = 120 Health, total of 520 hp
Astrolabe = 250 Health
250 x 0.3 = 75 Health, total of 325 hp
20 Health Regen(per second)
20 x 0.3 = 6 Health, total of 26 hp(per second)
NOTE: The "total" is how much YOU receive, not the friendlies. The friendlies receive the first part of the answer, not the total. If death's respite is on, than the first number (not the total) is how much you deal to others exactly(because its true damage) and having it true damage is NOT imbalanced, because A) You need to get healed to do it and B) It doesn't do a lot of damage

We need more support-support items, especially for those healers.
Hmmm, i like, but i don't think that support heroes with heal spells need so much hp regen. It doesn't really make sense, all i could think of is armadillo using this item ...
EDIT: I voted yes, but hope you revise the item to be more appealing for support heroes.
My suggestions:
Elixir of Speed
Talisman of Shadows
Care (anti-gank) message for allies
I would take feedback over a yes vote anyday.
im just wondering that if the whole team got 1 each and lets say ophelia uses her ultimate does the item proc for everyone in the team
(400 x 0.3 = 120, 120 x 5 = 600 + initial heal of 400 so a total of 1000 hp for everyone in the team) or only one?
(from what i get from your text it only say that it dont stack if a single player got several)
lol this makes me think of phantom assassin in pub dota games. imagine if she had this item with satanic......
'wats that, my teams nearly dead? wats that, i just critted you for 2k damage and insta healed my whole team??'
but seriously, its an interesting item. i could see initiators with healer teammates getting it so that when they take damage and are healed they heal everyone, but they probably wouldnt get it in favour of other items. the other situation i could see is a carry using it with lifesteal to help heal his team, but id rather build dps items. and support heroes are probably just gonna get nomes. interesting concept tho.
if game.pick_screen?
unless scout.picked?pick scoutp "mid or feed"elsegame.disconnect!endend
nomes = heals for the one that bought it based on mana usage
nature's mercy = heals for the whole team that is in range based on health you recieve.
also, the high hp regen helps the effects of this item, because 30% of all health you recieve (except for certain things) heals nearby heroes of that amount.
This does work with nomes, btw.
its not just for support heroes, its also for those good ol farmed up carries that can help their team from not dieing so quickly.
Please note, a 500 unit radius is not very far, as in, getting every single team member healed with this is not very easy if your so far away from them.
And another note, predator's life steal DOES work with this. Cheap? no. Look: hitting a 1300 health dude will heal you for 7%? of that number. Take 30% of THAT number again, and you will end up around the 40-70s.
Last edited by L`ANANAS; 03-06-2010 at 12:09 AM.
voting no just because you only play scout, huh?
lol jk
but seriously why.
great idea... but i don't think this will be of any use for some heroes, try revising the passives. maybe something good will come out :P, comment on mine ,thx

Study shows effects of pesticide exposure span generations (April 22, 2013). NC State researchers studying aquatic organisms called Daphnia have found that exposure to a chemical pesticide has impacts that span multiple generations – causing the so-called "water fleas" to produce more male offspring, and causing reproductive problems in female offspring.

Plant protein shape puzzle solved by molecular 3-D model (March 15, 2013). Researchers from NC State, Dr. Candace Haigler and Dr. Yaroslava Yingling, believe they have solved a puzzle that has vexed science since plants first appeared on Earth. In a groundbreaking paper published online this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers provide the first three-dimensional model of an enzyme that links a simple sugar, glucose, into long-chain cellulose, the basic building block within plant cell walls that gives plants structure.

Engineers constantly seek strong, lightweight materials for use in cars and planes to improve fuel efficiency. Their goal is to develop structural materials with a high "specific strength," which is defined as a material's strength divided by its density. NC State News Service
Researchers solve mystery of what binds two unlikely materials (March 11, 2013). For years, researchers have developed thin films of bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) – which converts heat into electricity or electricity to cooling – on top of gallium arsenide (GaAs) to create cooling devices for electronics. But while they knew it could be done, it was not clear how – because the atomic structures of those unlikely pair of materials do not appear to be compatible. Now researchers from NC State and RTI International have solved the mystery. NC State News Service

Academic Support Facilities
Information Technology
Modern information technology resources are ubiquitous at Alma College. The centerpiece is a newly upgraded local area network, which features a fiber optic backbone that operates at gigabit speeds and switched Ethernet desktop connections that function up to 100 megabits per second. The network includes more than 2,200 data ports on campus, and allows Web-based access to network services from off campus. Each student in the residence halls has a port to which their own computer can be connected. A new addition to the campus network environment is the deployment of a wireless network in key academic and residential spaces.
All members of the campus community have access to network services such as the Internet, World Wide Web, dedicated file storage, personal Web page space and e-mail. The College also has access to Internet 2, the next generation of high capacity Internet research, information and communications resources. Alma College is one of a small number of liberal arts colleges that are part of the Internet 2 consortium.
Students are encouraged to bring their own computers to campus. In addition, the College provides these public computing facilities:
Olofsson Computer Classroom. Located in the Colina Wing of the library, this classroom provides 25 Microsoft/Intel workstations, equipped with a variety of general purpose and specialized software applications. These computers feature flat panel displays, high quality audio and video subsystems and support for multimedia applications.
Swanson Academic Center Multimedia Center. This is a state-of-the-art facility for creating and producing multimedia materials. The laboratory has the most capable Apple and Intel multimedia computers, specialized media creation and editing software, scanners, specialized printers and other peripheral devices to create professional quality digital multimedia output of all kinds.

They also can plug in their own laptop computers at network ports.
Residence Halls. Each residence hall has computers for public use when access to one of the larger facilities is inconvenient. These devices offer the same network services and software available at other public computing facilities.
In addition to these public labs, the College has created specialized computer laboratories for 16 departments: a digital piano and music composition music lab; Unix lab; molecular structures lab utilizing silicon graphics workstations; digital graphic arts lab; and a variety of others, each designed to meet the specialized teaching and research needs of the faculty and students.

Its automated catalog and circulation systems provide access to holdings of more than 262,000 bound volumes, 1,000 current periodicals, and more than 10,000 full-text scholarly journals on the Web. The Library also supplies access to materials in over 15,000 libraries through its membership in the Online Computer Library Center and its online interlibrary loan network.
The entire Alma College Library building contains a wireless network that covers every corner of the space. The Colina Library Wing opened for use in February 1996. During the summer of 2006 the Wing was renovated in order to expand its use for study and group interaction. The 80,000 additional volumes that were previously housed there were moved to the second level of the library, new furniture was added to the existing computer classroom, a second classroom was added and equipped with presentation technology, and three group-study rooms were built. The renovated Colina Wing also now includes a student-run cafe. A second renovation project during the summer of 2008 added four more group-study rooms.
Open 97 hours each week, the Library is staffed by professionally trained personnel and student assistants. It provides its users with formal and informal bibliographic instruction, as well as Internet access to numerous information databases. In addition to its general and reference collections, the Library houses the Alma College Archives.

I think he played for the in-off. Not necessarily down to the angle of Essien but thought it has as much chance of going in off a Chelsea player here. He certainly wasn't pulling it back to an angle for anyone else.
I would move heaven and earth to make sure this lad stays our property because surely the vultures with Champions League footy will be circling in the summer. Fuck them all off Kenny and build your team around Luis and Andy.
He was wonderful yesterday, thing of class he is.I feel, the only thing we need to sort out in liverpool, is our midfield, once Lucas is back, there 1, gerrard ofcourse, and maybe get two more wingers, but also keeping the ones we got because of uefa cup or whatever its called, and you never know, that cup may HELP us, because if he plays the second team, the 1st gets a rest, while also maybe keeping the second match fit and maybe in abit of form, im hoping he plays raheem sterling and he'll get very good exp, more than he would in carling cup. I must say, and im praying god helps us, but i think we could have a really good team next season, we also need a little luck aswell
Most people in this world are tits. The fact they have an allegiance with Liverpool Football Club doesn't change that.
As evidenced by Saturday in the final, we really need someone to link up midfield and attack, someone who naturally plays further forward in midfield because we were punting the ball up to him to fight with Ivanovic and Terry for which was never going to work. He's not that type of player. He needs a top quality striker next to him as well, and I know Carroll's been performing much better recently, but I still feel we need someone around their prime who is notorious for goal scoring to take the burden and we'll see the best out of Luis.
Build the team around this man. He is special.
"Luis Suarez Very happy for yesterday's victory and being able to say goodbye to our supporters this way. THANKS TO ALL !!!! YNWA Muy contento por la gran victoria de ayer y habernos despedido así de nuestro público. GRACIAS A TODOS !!!! YNWA"------------He's off in the summer then
I dont know mate, Carroll is really coming into his own, and is it any surprise that he's playing well, when him and Suarez are in the team together?I think it'd be good to get a good back up goal scorer, i.e maybe yakubu, i know he played for the cnuts across the road, but he'd be good as a back up, and cheap. but other than that, kenny needs to have a look at the midfield, and again, i think we're only two really good midfielders from back in the big time again. Maybe get a few more right and left back options, but that isnt the most important thing.
It was a calculated in-off. Sure he meant it.
"The key isn't the system itself, but how the players adapt on the pitch. It doesn't matter if it's 4-3-3 or 4-4-2, it's the role of the players that counts." Rafa Benitez
Just read Suarez has nutmegged players 14 times this season.
Suarez had no right to score that one but then again he is Suarez and he doesn't give a fuck.
I'm sure he wouldn't announce anything like this over twitter. More likely he has used a translation site, which has come out different than intended.
I dunno if it was the Luis Garcia chants airing last night or what....But i have a feeling when i look back on Suarez's career with us i will remember it the same as Luis Garcia...(although hopefully not as short)He can be infuriating at times when he loses the ball unnecessarily, or opts to take on another man/ridiculous shot instead of squaring the ball for a tap in etc.But he does have more than a touch of genius about him..moreso than Garcia...but just like him, you know when Luis gets the ball something special could happen...one of the best dribblers ive seen too...so clumsy yet magical at the same time...fantastic to watch.
Controversially, if it came down to a choice between selling Suarez and selling Carroll, Id sell Suarez.
I still have reservations about going into next season with Carroll as our first choice striker, despite his excellent recent performances. I'd worry he wouldn't get us the goals we need.Having said that, I think our main priority is sorting out the midfield and getting goal scoring wide players.
His movement from the right is droolworthy.We don't need a new winger IMO if we can start playing him on the right next season and That's where he should play.
"I learned to figure out those who are with me"The striker said that what happened to him with Patrice Evra allowed him to figure out who "cuddle you up out of self-interest""I learned to figure out those who are with me and those who aren't," said Luis Suarez after everything that happened with Patrice Evra.In an interview with Subrayado, the striker said that, thanks to what happened, he learned to distinguish a few that "get close to you out of self-interest."Regarding the Evra case, he said that he cannot speak. "Out of respect, sometimes I prefer to stay silent," he said.In addition, he confessed that his wife, Sofia Balbi, was "the one who got all the cheap shots."The possibility of going to the OlympicsSuarez said that his participation in the football championship of the 2012 London Olympic Games does not depend only on Oscar Washington Tabarez."It also depends on the club, if they let you or not, because it's not so easy when you are over the U-23 limit," he said.It is possible that some of the matches of the tournament take place in Old Trafford, Manchester United's stadium, Patrice Evra's team."The last thing I will look at will be the stadium, I'll look at the fact that I am playing for my country at the Olympic Games," he said.
From whatever I've seen this season, Kenny always asks the players the switch flanks regularly during a game. He would be perfect for that along with another tricky winger/forward who can gel well with him.Carroll would play in the CF position moving up and down the pitch feeding aerial balls onto their feet.
4-3-3 Next season. New talented scoring striker to play on the left, Suarez on the right and AC in the middle. Lucas in the middle behind with Gerrard on the right and a new winger on the left.Bam, we're sorted.
"Clubs have virtually been destroyed by people making bad decisions."You're not fucking wrong, Roy. There was one in particular in the summer which you might remember.
It means hendo, adam, downing and shelvey on the bench? (Maxi, kuyt, cole, aqua)
Google messi topless on holiday. Now look at david silva, villa, iniesta, xavi, they have the upper bodies of little boys.
Loved Garcia but Suarez is another level or two above him. We have an exceptional talent on our hands and need to give him the support he needs.I do see what youre saying thoughHe is one of those iconic players and we need to get the best out of him

The biggest shots in Lakers playoff history
Image 34 of 35
2. Magic Johnson vs. Boston Celtics, Game 4 NBA Finals, June 9, 1987( Manny Millan, Getty Images )
The setting: The Lakers trailed the Celtics by a point when Magic dribbled into the key and put up his junior junior sky hook over Kevin McHale, Larry Bird and Robert Parish. The shot went through with two seconds left at the Boston Garden, securing a 107-106 victory.
The significance: The victory gave the Lakers a 3-1 lead in the Finals and they clinched the title in Game 6 at the Forum. Magic called the shot the biggest of his career. The Lakers had easily won the first two games of the series at home, but lost Game 3 in Boston and trailed in Game 4 by 16 points in the second half. Magics shot kept the Celtics from having all the momentum heading into Game 5. |

ROCHESTER, Minn. — Bathing a tiny newborn can be an exciting experience for parents, but it can also be intimidating. Newborns are small and vulnerable, slippery when wet, and the products marketed for their delicate skin can leave parents with abundant choices. As newborns are welcomed into the world, their skin needs to adapt to the new environmental changes around them. It's important for parents to understand proper bathing techniques and the appropriate skin care needed for their little one.
MULTIMEDIA ALERT: Multimedia resources are available for journalists to download on the Mayo Clinic News Network.
Pediatric dermatologist Dawn Davis, M.D., of Mayo Clinic Children's Center and colleagues recently published a review article in the International Journal of Dermatology about newborn skin care. Dr. Davis suggests several tips for keeping a newborn's skin clean and healthy, and making bath time an enjoyable experience:
Co-authors of the published article include Molly Ness, M.D., and William Carey, M.D. To schedule an interview with Dr. Davis, please contact Traci Klein at 507-284-5005 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

"A year ago I couldn't get a date. Now the world has gone backwards. I can have any 14 year old that I want." says the British actor Robert Pattinson, who has become overnight, the new It Boy thanks to his character Edward Cullen.
Move over Zac efron... Have you met the High School Musical star?
We met at an awards show. He's the new face of success. But he's all the opposite of what I thought he would be. He's so honest and down to earth. You'd think he's so prepared for the press, but he's not.
What do fans say about you when they meet you in person?
They are increadibly opinionated. They have very clear ideas as to how I should live my life. Who knew 15 years old could be so moralistic?
Is it true that you did castings for vampire characters before?
Yes, I did an audition for True Blood, but that didn't work out. I didn't think I would get the role of Edward Cullen either, because the character is very enigmatic. I didn't want to play the biggest vampire stereotype, so I tried to humanize him.
When you got the role a lot of fans were very angry....
They didn't want me. They sent me hate messages and the Internet was full of comments. They said I looked like a bum.
Do you understand why Edward appeals so much to young girls?
No, I don't get why people like this character in such an obsessive level. The fact that he's so polite and opens doors for girls, all that. I don't get why teenagers like this stuff.
Did you get along with Kristen Stewart?
In the beginning I thought: "She's so serious, so I have to be very serious too". And I went on without talking to her for like two weeks. She must have thought I was stuck up. I only spoke to her about the movie, other movies, books, serious stuff. But I felt like an idiot. I dropped the act and we got along great.
It's been said on numerous occasions that you're in love with her and that you proposed to her on the set of the movie...
I don't remember that happening, but if that's what she said, then it's true.
How did your career being?
I started as a model when I was 12. I was the youngest one in the agency. I was so skinny, I looked like a girl, and back then the whole androgenous look was in. Then I did some amateur theater and then I began to go to castings.
And you were chosen for Reese Witherspoon's movie Vanity Fair...
Yes, but my part was cut from the movie. That's how I got Harry Potter, the casting director felt guilty.
Why didn't you get more roles after Harry Potter?
I went on several auditions but they kept telling me I was scary....
And your agent sent you to LA to do more castings and you got the role of Edward. Weren't you sent to media training after you were chosen for the role?
Yes. My agent kept getting messages like "he's resisting the training!" (laughs), I just didn't want to answer like I was a robot. Not even little children like to hear the same answers, it's boring!
What have you been up to since you finished Twilight?
I've been living in LA. I learned how to drive and I've been exploring the city. It's a very different culture from London. There isn't many pubs and people here don't get how normal it is in London to just go out for a beer. They think it's bizarre.
Do you have a car yet?
A 1989 BMW convertible. The convertible top is broken, the dashboard caught on fire when I was driving and the back seats look like a dumpster with all my old trash. And I just hope the red button that just turned on isn't something I should worry about. (laughs).
Have you made any new friends in Hollywood?
A couple. Most of them are from the industry. I go out with club promoters and PR people. I always get my picture taken coming out of the dodgiest places. It's embarrasing. I went out everyday for like a week until I realized that people must think I was some sort of drunk.
What do you do on your spare time?
I'm a musician. I know all actors say they're musicians, but I've been doing it for years. I play the piano since I was four and classical guitar since I was five. I just started playing blues and similar stuff. I'm not a virtuoso, but I'm not that bad either.
You used to be seen playing in little bars...
I did it a couple of times, until some people filmed me and put me up on youtube. They ruined the experience. Now it would be impossible to play again like that.
Who's your favorite musician?
Van Morrison. I own all his albums.
Your sister is in the music business as well, isn't she?
Lizzy had a very successful song with her band Aurora. My other sister works in advertising. I'm the youngest.
They treated you like their own doll, didn't they?
They dressed me up like a girl, yes! (laughs). But it all changed when I turned 12.
You play Salvador Dali in you next movie, how was the experience?
It's marked a before and an after. I got obsessed with Dali, read everything I could about him. It's the first role in which I could reflect about it more seriously. He was the weirdest bloke, but I feel I understood him. He was very, very shy.
It looks like you have a bright future a head of you....
It's funny how things change. After being unemployed for so long, you start thinking "I'm not gonna mess this up again". So now, I'll only think about how I'm going to play a role. My only concern is to not mess this up. I don't want to be an idiot and that's a real possibility.

I bought this for my son for his birthday and he LOVED it! it comes with 2 exclusive Trashies which is a bonus, but really he just loved driving over the trashies and picking them up. He found out pretty early on that when you smash into a wall all of the trash crash everywhere! We have quite a few trashies at home and that really made the experience more fun. If you're stuck for a good Christmas present with hours of fun play, I would recommend the Street Sweeper!

This was the perfect little truck for my son. He loves playing around with it and sweeping up the "trash cans" that came with it.
Wonderful toy!
By Regular dad
from Temple, Tx
My daughter loves these little trash pack toys. The only problem was that when we got her this one, she just wanted more of the figures. She has fun playing with the trash pack toys, but completely ignores the Barbies she has.
Fun for boys
By This is fun
from Ogden,ut
If you have a boy of the age 4-9 and he loves car getting on the floor to play he'll love this toy. It also boys favorite thing to trash so two great boy things in one. There no noise to it the have to make there own. When you run over the trash pack make sure you go slow so the truck has time to pick it up. But overall. Dry good toy for younger boys
My son loves it!

Quebec's agriculture minister was among the Liberals defeated Tuesday in a squeaker of a provincial election, out of which the Parti Quebecois returns to power -- but at a low wattage.
Pierre Corbeil, the Liberal MNA for the southwestern riding of Abitibi-Est from 2003 to 2007 and 2008 until now, had been Quebec's minister of agriculture, fisheries and food since February last year and also served as minister responsible for the Abitibi-Temiscamingue and Nord-du-Quebec regions.
Corbeil, a Val d'Or dentist, placed second on Tuesday night against PQ challenger Elizabeth Larouche of Val d'Or, polling 7,653 votes to Larouche's 8,430.
Pauline Marois' PQ formed a minority government with 54 of 125 seats and 32 per cent of the popular vote.
The Liberals, by comparison, won 50 seats and 31 per cent of the vote, although their leader and now ex-premier Jean Charest lost his own long-held home riding of Sherbrooke on Tuesday.
Another 19 seats and 27 per cent went to Francois Legault's Coalition avenir Quebec (CAQ) while two seats (six per cent) went to a fourth party, Quebec solidaire.
Among the PQ's pledges to the province's farmers were a new "food sovereignty" policy aimed at raising Quebec-grown foods' share of the provincial diet to 50 per cent. Marois last month also pledged to spend an extra $20 million per year on agriculture revitalization programming to encourage young farmers into the business.
The PQ has also pledged to rescind the Liberals' reworking of benefits under the province's ag income stabilization program (ASRA). Said changes involve cost-of-production models based on an average calculated from the top 75 per cent of the province's farms in terms of performance, rather than from all Quebec farms.
Former ag critics remain
The PQ's narrow win also cost the party one of its own most likely candidates for the agriculture minister's job.
Andre Simard, who'd been the PQ's MNA for the former riding of Kamouraska-Temiscouata since a 2010 byelection and became the official opposition ag critic in August last year, placed third in the Cote-du-Sud riding with 9,293 votes, well back from the Liberals' Norbert Morin, who won with 14,038.
Simard, a veterinarian by profession, came to the Quebec assembly after seven years as director-general of the Institut de technologie agroalimentaire at St-Hyacinthe and La Pocatiere. Morin, a butcher by profession, had also served as MNA for the former Montmagny-L'Islet riding from 2003 to 2007 and won back the seat in 2008.
Remaining on the PQ's ag depth chart, however, are two of its former ag critics.
Sylvain Page easily held his riding of Labelle with 17,446 votes over the CAQ's Robert Milot with 8,239. Iberville MNA Marie Bouille also defended her seat with 13,780 votes over the CAQ's Claire Samson with 11,826.
One of Marois' star candidates, farmer Andre Beaudoin -- the secretary general for UPA DI, the international development wing of the Union des producteurs agricoles (UPA) -- did not make the cut.
Beaudoin challenged and lost to one of Charest's cabinet ministers, Julie Boulet, in the Laviolette riding, where he polled 7,788 votes to Boulet's 10,903.
Third party
The upstart CAQ, with 19 seats, wins official party status. Its former ag critic, Janvier Grondin, who previously served as a UPA director and as mayor of St. Jules, did not seek re-election Tuesday, although the party held his riding of Beauce-Nord with candidate Andre Spenard.
Among the few CAQ MNAs with agriculture pedigrees are Sebastien Schneeberger, who held the Drummond-Bois-Francs riding with 14,173 votes over PQ candidate Annie Jean.
Schneeberger, a financial advisor by profession and MNA since 2007, also holds a diploma in dairy production from l'Ecole d'agriculture de Nicolet.
The PQ's victory party on Tuesday was cut short by a shooting and fire at its election-night headquarters, Metropolis, a concert hall on Montreal's rue Ste-Catherine.
One person was confirmed dead and another injured by gunfire near the entrance to the building during Marois' acceptance speech, and firefighters put out a blaze at the same time behind the facility. City police caught and arrested a man at the scene.
In a separate statement in the early hours of Wednesday morning, Marois said all Quebecers mourn in the face of such gratuitous violence.

Levisticks are also known as levitation sticks of wands. These toys have been around for some time but have only recently exploded on the circus and object manipulation scene. Essentially, these props are a stick, or wand, attached to a thin and barely visible string which is looped around a finger. You can then make the wand move around via the string creating the illusion that the stick is floating in mid-air and controlled with the power of your mind!
Flowtoys have been leading the way in the popularisation of this toy and have branded their own version the Flow Wand. As the best place in the UK to get your Flowtoys we stock the Flow Wand alongside our own levistick.
The Firetoys levistick is slightly thicker and heavier than the Flow Toys version. It is also decorated with bright UV reactive tape so it looks amazing in daylight but even better at dusk or under a black light.
Levisticks are great skill toys as is pretty easy to make the wand look like it's floating but there are also some technical tricks to master as well giving you the satisfaction of learning new things.
If you're a dancer all the better as the movement of the body really adds to the illusion of the flowwand.

Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 |
On the warm morning of July 1st, 1863, a small Union calvary briagade encountered 2 brigades of advancing confederate troops. With breech loading carbines, the Union troops were capable of getting off eight shots per mintue to the Confederate's three. Despite smaller numbers, the Union's technology held the Confederates at bay. Quickly both sides called for reinforcements, and the Battle picked up.
The first day was fought fiercly at high cost to those present, but was nothing compared to what was to come.
That first day, several thousand federals managed to make it up Cemetary Ridge, a strategic lookout over the field. By nightfall, the federals had a defensive line three and a half miles long, following strategic landmarks of the area, later to be a part of the Gettysburg Cemetary, which resembled a large fish hook. The Union had a distinct advantage in this battle. They were on the defensive, on their own turf.
The confederates had also assembled quite a formidable force, about 50,000 strong, to the federals 60,000 on Seminary Ridge, and another 20,000 in transit. Lee said to his troops that night, "The enemy is here, if we do not whip him, he will whip us." His strategy was simple, break through any part of the fishhook defense.

The issue is starting to heat up around here. A company called Acciona has optioned a large territory on what we call the "North Mountain" which runs between the valley that I currently live in and the Bay of Fundy for possible placement of a number of large scale wind turbines. I assume they will be their new 3mW units. The local municipal gevenment is holding public meetings to consider all views. On the forefront is the existing by-law requiring 700m seperation from any existing residenses. The "anti" side is calling for 2500m seperation which would essentually eliminate the possibility of the project going ahead. My current position, subject to change is that 1000 - 1500m may be a bit more realistic. I have come to believe that a lot of the data being put forward by the "anti" side is based on the first generation turbines that did have some issues. My understanding is that the newer turbines, now considered to be third or fourth generation have come a long way in addressing these issues with better rotors, slower speeds etc...
I do make it a habit to stay abreast of the energy industry and developments. In the case of this development, my retirement property where I intend to build on the bay is about 5 km from the optioned area and isn't under consideration because it falls within the area that is out of bounds due to the local Air Force Base and the risk of radar shadow caused by wind turbines.
Does anyone have any personal expirience living near to a wind turbine? Any opinions?
