INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Indianapolis metro police are hunting for an Indianapolis man who might have caused a fatal, head-on crash by ramming his former girlfriend's SUV from behind.
Police say the crash early Sunday near the Castleton Square shopping mall killed 29-year-old Rashshaad Artis of Indianapolis. He was riding in the SUV driven by 33-year-old Shanntel Lewis of Indianapolis when it crossed a median and crashed into another vehicle.
Lewis tells police her ex-boyfriend, 31-year-old Seantel Mardsen of Indianapolis, had rammed her SUV from behind with his pickup several times before the crash.
Witnesses tell police the vehicles were traveling at a high rate of speed, cutting each other off and running several red lights.
Police say Lewis and a passenger in the third vehicle, 40-year-old Tara Bain of Indianapolis, also suffered injuries.

It has been a while coming but after a UN ruling on Monday it is finally time for Chile and Peru to put their maritime differences behind them.
The International Court of Justice in The Hague has given Peru a chunk of the Pacific Ocean it did not have before, while Chile has retained its rich coastal fishing grounds. So, despite smug smiles and gnashing of teeth in some corners of both countries, what looks like a split sovereignty ruling should reinforce the pledge Peru and Chile have made to remain good neighbours.

Since 1944, there has been much speculation that a large water monster, the Pend Oreille Paddler, inhabits Lake Pend Oreille and haunts the residents of Sandpoint.
In 2004, a new monster reared its many-geared head; that is, the Pend Oreille Pedalers, a group of local singletrack and road riding enthusiasts.
The Pend Oreille Pedalers was established in 2004 as a bicycle club and in 2008 incorporated as a non-profit 501c3. The goal is simple: to educate cyclists and preserve and improve bicycling opportunities in Sandpoint and the Northern Panhandle.

JDG1980 - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkDid AMD specify if these parts include ECC support? Reply
DanNeely - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkFirst image says 2x DDR3-1600 w ECC Reply
JDG1980 - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkOops, missed that. Looks like this could be a good competitor to S1200. Despite it having been released several months ago, I've only ever seen one S1200-based board released for the DIY market (the Supermicro X9SBAA-F) and it is hard to find, not sold on Newegg or any of the usual places. I hope that the Opteron X will have a wider range of user-accessible platforms available. This could be very useful for a firewall/router, maybe even a ZFS NAS (but that's probably a bit ambitious, given ZFS's hefty system requirements). Reply

zepi - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkI wonder if it would make sense for Intel to start offering their own virtualization software.
Or possibly think of buying one producer. Vmware is valued currently over 30B and it's quite expensive in terms of P/E, but maybe there are other options available... Reply
vision33r - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkDoesn't make any sense. EMC bought VMware and then spun them off. The structure of hardware and software companies are not cohesive enough. At the end of the day you end up with 2 different management teams in order to run the 2 different outfits successfully. Might as well just leave them be and create partnership instead of ownership. Reply
eanazag - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkI have been hoping for this. This should have been done with Brazos. I wanted SFF and low heat for simple tasks. I just want to create some appliance like devices. I have a need for a mobile file server too. I thought and think Atom sucks. Reply
LemmingOverlord - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkWhat AMD hasn't talked about is whether this will be available in retail for DIYers. I understand many Anandtech readers are hardcore hardware aficcionados, but unless AMD takes marketing the X2150 seriously and comes up with some good partners, this will be nothing more than a grand - albeit empty - gesture, sure to enrage enthusiasts if it never makes it to the DIY market.
Think AMD, think! Reply
Anand Lal Shimpi - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkWe will see Kabini based mini-ITX motherboards in the market. I doubt we'll see many Kyoto based platforms though. Reply
Casper42 - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkIf its a competitor to the Atom and supports ECC, I wonder how long before HP puts it here?
45 Kyoto nodes in 4.3U, 135 nodes in 13U, 405 nodes per 39U (42U standard rack basically) Reply
LemmingOverlord - Thursday, May 30, 2013 - linkYes, as a BGA-only solution, I guess partners will be hand-picked to be server ones... I can't look at this as a teentsy server solution, but as a solution for dense server racks that require some OpenCL compute ability.
How good is it really at those tasks that AMD offers as ideal? (web hosting, multimedia serving, etc...)
Has anyone come up with a consumer-oriented webserver task that is really Compute driven which could really turn these kittens into real live jaguars? Reply

HisDivineOrder - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkIt's time for Intel and MS to wake up, realize it's not the 1990's anymore, and come back down to Earth with the rest of the mere mortal corporations like Qualcomm, Google, etc who don't try to milk the consumer on the front end and the back end.
Component manufacturers now get their profits from selling lots and lots of cheaper devices, not a few more expensive ones. Intel is high on their high margins, but in no time they're going to be surrounded by lots and lots of cheapo "good enough" devices that the market has time and again said is its heart's desire.
Intel is going to quickly become irrelevant to most consumer devices, reducing them to corporate customers and taking the whole PC hobbyist niche with them if they don't stop screwing around. Reply
MrSpadge - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkSure, that's why we're getting a complete redesign of atom at the end of this year... Reply
krumme - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkThe last figure is really good, because it makes you really realize the difference that android and arm have done to the traditional x86 market. For the first time in over 20 years i just think, man it have changed, and it will never ever come back. The use of computing have fundamentally changed - jaguar/new atom whatever. The fpu of jaguar even looks like a big fat dinosaur compared to whats pushing big time all over the globe. Reply
Casper42 - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkThe ironic thing is that the increase in number of connected devices, those where Android and ARM have a strong foothold, are also increasing the needs for back end Compute resources in DataCenters the world over.
Thats where Intel right now is dominating (and AMD is going through a 2-3 year reset).
So the more Tablets and Smartphones and etc people buy, the more Xeons Intel sells for the back end. And I am sure Anand and others can confirm that margins in that market are wayyyy better than in the desktop world. Reply
krumme - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkYes, but the fundamental story from the figure is, the dynamics created by the new arm/android situation again leads to new situation we can not yet predict. It looks like more profit on the - as we see it - safe x86 server side and thereby Intel that can even transist their proces capacity from mobile to the serverside - as indicated by Otellini in recent interveiw.
But that might be a wrong asumption just 5 years from now. Look what happened to Otellinis own predictions about what price an mainstream notebook is and would be - it just plunged, and still cant get a grib to reality. Reply

spikebike - Wednesday, May 29, 2013 - linkLooks like a very nice small workstation/desktop CPU. Add 2 DDR2-1600 ECC dimms, a SSD, and 16-32GB ram. I hope one of the AMD partners does a Intel NUC/Supermicro Brix equivalent. 4 2GHz cores, ECC memory, low cost, and very low power usage (read that as easy to make silent) sounds good to me.

Pennsylvania state trooper remembered as professional, humble
State Police Trooper 1st Class Blake T. Coble never was one to stand on ceremony, said a colleague at his funeral on Tuesday.
He would be the last one to wear a tie or his trooper hat and hated to shine his boots.
Coble, who died in an Oct. 4 car crash while on duty, likely would have looked at the hundreds of law enforcement officers gathered for his funeral and say: "What a waste of shoe polish," said Cpl. Mark Bardzil.
"But Blake taught us it is not about the shine on our shoes. It's about the shine on our hearts, and Blake shone brightly," Bardzil said.
Bardzil had Coble's fellow troopers at the Brighton barracks shed their ties and hats during a portion of the service.
Nearly 1,000 law enforcement officers, family and friends gathered inside the Golden Dome of Community College of Beaver County in Center for a final farewell to Coble.
The 24-year veteran, just three months from retirement, died when a tractor-trailer driven by Gregory Golkosky, 47, of Mt. Pleasant slammed into his cruiser in South Beaver, not far from Coble's house.
Lt. Eric Hermick said Tuesday that Golkosky faces charges, including running a stop sign and careless driving. The Beaver County District Attorney's office will make the final determination.
Local police departments, Allegheny County police and deputy sheriffs stood alongside troopers from Pennsylvania and officers from across the nation and Canada to honor Coble.
"We are all family," Pittsburgh police Chief Nate Harper said. "It's a tough pill to swallow."
Coble is the 94th state trooper to die in the line of duty.
Nearest Coble's casket sat his wife, Brenda, who is a dispatcher at the barracks where her husband worked, and their children, Savannah, 6, and Jimmy, 8, who wore his father's campaign hat throughout the two-hour service.
There are no answers to why Coble was taken so suddenly, said the Rev. Ruth Simmons of Avery United Methodist Church in Washington County, but healing will come.
"One day at a time, one thing at a time, one step at a time, knowing we do not walk through the path alone. God walks with us," said Simmons, a speaker at the service.
Bardzil said he first met Coble years ago in the parking lot of the Butler barracks. Coble worked a vice detail, had hair down his back and a long beard, and sported a ratty Jimmy Buffett T-shirt.
Bardzil didn't know that Coble was a trooper. Coble reassured him: "Don't worry, I'm a good guy."
"What an understatement. I didn't know I'd get to know Blake, but I did, and I'm blessed for it," Bardzil said.
At a brief service at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Cemetery in Chippewa, Brenda Coble tightly hugged her children as bagpipers played "Amazing Grace." A state police helicopter flew overhead.
"To me, it's an honor being here," said Peter Nava, a trooper with the Texas Highway Patrol.

Rochas Resort 2013
"When I think resort, I think prettiness," says Marco Zanini of Rochas. "That could sound, and look, banal so of course there's something 'off.' " Zanini is saying this while standing in a stark Paris showroom only meters away from the Centre Pompidou. He is surrounded by clothes that have managed to turn a venue distinctly lacking in charm into one that fairly sings with color (primrose yellow, leaf green, a blue the hue of those warm spring mornings where everything and anything seems possible) and zings with prints (continuing his interest/lifelong obsession with Scandinavian artists/artisans; this time round, it's naïve-bold florals derived from the work of Finnish designer Birger Kaipainen.)
It's no secret that Zanini has a sure way with the gorgeously lyrical, yet even by his standards, this collection possessed a lightness and charm that gently touched everything: the delicate French lace that was built into the seams of collared, bias-cut silk dresses or skirts that fell in ever more full tiers; the exquisitely tailored sheath dresses scattered with polka dots (this would be the part where he turns the banal into something interesting; it made that classic pattern take on a coolly linear quality); and a sophisticated and subtle take on shine—gilded Lurex sweaters and cardigans fitted and finished with a graphic precision, and skirts constructed out of twin layers of gauzy lace, one silver, one copper.
In asserting the notion that clothes need only be pretty, what Zanini is doing is emphasizing the big narrative of resort: We Don't Need No Complications. His proposition to you is meant to be pretty straightforward, no pun intended: Wearing these clothes (with plenty of individual pieces to be styled at your whim and will) shouldn't require any other engagement with them besides sheer, unadulterated pleasure. If this easier approach has meandered through the season, it's because designers have reached an informal consensus on the fact that it might be time to go slower on the overtly tricky. And it's not just impacting resort; Zanini was showing his collection while the haute couture was going on, where the best, like Raf Simons at Christian Dior, were busy proposing real life, as much as they were runway spectacle. Nothing banal about that.

My colleague Fiona Harvey revealed in October that plans for a green investment bank could be watered down under pressure from the Treasury.
A commission set up by George Osborne to look at the issue – led by Bob Wigley, the former European head of Merrill Lynch – had called for the bank to have powers to raise finance from the private sector, for instance by issuing bonds, green Isas, raising loans and other measures. But this was opposed by Treasury officials, according to Fiona:
They would prefer the bank to operate as a simpler fund, dispensing grants and loans in conjunction with the private sector but without the powers to generate its own self-sustaining financing mechanisms.
And in today's Guardian Chris Huhne confirms that the bank will start life in the more limited form.

What's Really In Your Food?by Toby Amidor in Food News & Trends, Food Safety, January 27, 2011
Taco Bell's beef claim isn't the only questionable marketing out there lately. Check out some other surprisingly shameless food claims, and find out what you can do about it.
Taco Bell
Did you really think Taco Bell's beef was 100-percent beef? If you've eaten real, premium beef, the texture and taste of the chain's taco filling doesn't come close. A California resident is suing the fast food giant, and the lawsuit claims that Taco Bell's beef contains up to 65 percent fillers. Taco Bell's CEO defended the mixture, saying that the company's taco filling is 88 percent beef, but it's fair to say some percentage of the mix is a combination of water, wheat, oats, soy lecithin, maltodextrin, anti-dusting agents and modified corn starch — not exactly what you'd find in Mom's tacos. (Get the full ingredient list here.) While Taco Bell does call out on their Web site that the meat mix contains wheat and soy, in-store marketing still might lead those with food allergies to bite into a "beef" taco.
McDonalds' Fruit and Maple Oatmeal
Would you call a dish "Fruit and Maple Oatmeal" if there's no real maple syrup in it? That's exactly what McDonald's did and this didn't sit very well with the state of Vermont and the maple syrup industry. According to Vermont law, if you're going to say a product contains maple syrup, then it must come from the sap of a maple tree. McDonalds' oatmeal doesn't fit that bill: Ingredients include oatmeal, diced apples, cranberries, raisins, cream and a "proprietary blend of natural flavors." The company has agreed to offer a side of real maple syrup to Vermont customers, but for the rest of us, it's still plain old brown sugar.
Blueberries are healthy, right? Well…only if they're the real thing. Some food companies use blueberry "bits" or "particles" that are really starches coated with food dye to resemble the nutrition-packed fruit. Case in point: Kellogg's Frosted Mini Wheats Blueberry Muffin. Although the front-of-box photo shows real blueberries, the ingredients state "blueberry-flavored crunchlets" and "blueberry flavor" — no real fruit.
DiGiorno's "Wyngz"
DiGiorno has also taken some heat this week on its newly-released Pizza and Boneless "Wyngz" combination. Instead of real wing meat, you'll find a breaded white-meat chicken fritter shaped like a chicken wing. C'mon, people, when something isn't spelled correctly on the label, there's probably a good reason for it!
The Bottom Line
Read the labels carefully and if you find strange items (like blueberry-flavored crunchlets), opt for a simpler alternative without a laundry list of foreign ingredients. (See our list of 5 food additives to avoid.)
TELL US: Will you still be eating these products? What are you going to do about it?

Concern always arises in cold periods over winter about the effect of the low temperatures on alfalfa winter survival. This is of some concern because certainly the alfalfa plant will die if exposed to cold enough temperatures.
However, generally alfalfa survives the winter and its periodic cold spells. The reasons are:
1) Alfalfa can survive temperatures of -10 to -15°F.
2) This is the temperature of the crown not the topgrowth.
3) As little as 4 inches of loose snow will insulate against up to 16°F of air temperature.
4) The crown is insulated by soil as well; therefore the crucial temperature is the temperature at 2 to 4 inches below the soil surface.
The soil temperature on Jan 8 (after the last cold spell) is generally above 0°F and most of the Midwest. The higher temperature than the air the last few days is due to insulating ability of both snow (most of Midwest had at least 4 inches of snow cover) and the insulating ability of the soil. This situation should indicate little to no injury or kill of alfalfa.

Without a doubt people will be wowed by the highlight CS5 features such as content aware fill. There are in fact 250+ new features of Creative Suite 5. Some times it is the little things that will make a huge difference to the way you create with CS5.
I thought it would be opportune to point out a couple of personal favourites of the little things.
When I was producing documents such as Annual Reports for a living, one thing that was always difficult was to balance columns of type. The process required trial and error, changing the depth of text frames and of course the author would then change the copy, necessitating a repeat of the process. Now with InDesign CS5 this is a checkbox.
Another little surprise can be found in InDesign CS5's Step and Repeat. You can now step and repeat an object in both rows and columns. I shudder to think how much time this would have saved me doing such things as business cards, labels etc.
To crop and straighten an image in Photoshop I used to use the crop tool lining up a horizon, rotating the crop then expanding to the edges of my intended image. Now in Photoshop CS5 one of the new JDI's uses the ruler tool, see how here.

PETOSKEY, Mich. (AP) -- Police in northern Michigan say a man dressed as Batman got in the way of their investigation into a personal injury accident.
Mark Wayne Williams is charged in Emmet County with one count of resisting and obstructing police.
Michigan State Police Sgt. Jeff Gorno says Williams showed up at the accident scene Saturday night "in his Batman outfit" and "wouldn't clear the scene."
Gorno tells the Petoskey News-Review (http://bit.ly/QFv0yh) police "had a canine out there," and Williams "kept screwing up the scent." The sergeant says authorities "didn't want the dog to track Batman instead of the accident scene."
A telephone call to a listing for Williams rang unanswered on Wednesday.
The 33-year-old Petoskey resident is facing a two-year felony. He's due back in court on Oct. 18.

Are doctors allowed to break water in order to ease pain?
Are doctors allowed to break water in order to ease pain?
Dear Emma,
Dr Sears (the famous attachment parenting doctor) writes 'mothers hold on to your waters, they are there for a reason'. For the majority of women, the waters act as an extra cushion from the contractions. Many women describe feeling an increase in intensity of contractions once their waters break or are broken.
Doctors or midwives can break your waters, however, they should only do this with your consent. Sometimes it is used to try and speed up labour where things seem to be slowing down. However, having had my waters broken with my first and a completely natural labour with my second (where my waters broke on their own at 10cm dilation) I would not agree to have my waters broken in the future (unless it was completely medically necessary).
The artificial rupturing (breaking) of waters increases the woman's risk of infection. In most hospitals, once a woman has had her waters artificially broken she has then started the first step in medical interventions and may be advised to have an induction if labour does not occur naturally a certain time period after this (again, you have to agree to an induction as this also makes the birth higher risk).
Does this answer your question?
Warm wishes,
So doctors can't break the water without our consent. Thank you LJ
They shouldn't do anything without your consent, but unfortunately that's often not the reality. It's hard to advocate for yourself while you're in labour, so make sure you have someone with you who can do that, either your partner, a doula or other support person.
What Asrathiel said is spot on!
Your consent is required for anything in labour from monitoring the baby's heartbeat to having a c-section. I had a doula in my last birth and I found my doula's presence to be an invaluable support to me. I knew that my doula thoroughly understood my birth wishes (and my preferences if the birth journey should take a certain course) and I have confidence that she would voice these wishes when I was unable to.
My husband was also an excellent source of support to me as my birth partner and I know he also felt confident and happy having our doula present.
I will certainly be hiring a doula in the future!
Warm wishes,

What are some good soft music? I like some soft music such as castle in the sky.Can anyone give me recommendation?
i personaly like bryan adams
I'm not sure if it is "soft music" but she is definitely good - Colbie Caillat.
i will advice you to listen to Soft Music Webradio as there you will find a lot of channels and a lot of good music. i always listen to jazz there.
can you download freely soft music and classic music from websites in US?in China we can download freely, no need to think of copyrights, should we feel shameful:(
lazy song Bruno mars actually most of his songs are good for that i like young wild and free oh and fireflies by owel city.
How about Adele's 21 album? That is the album I play when I want to relax.

Google CEO: We Have no Real "Competitors", Apple's Fixation is Self-Destructive
Jason Mick
December 11, 2012 4:45 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Larry Page says that when you're obsessed with the present you're not looking ahead to the future
"We're still 1 percent to where we should be. I feel a deep sense of responsibility to try to move things along. Not enough people are focused on big change. Part of what I'm trying to do is take Google as a case study and really scale our ambition such that we are able to cause more positive change in the world and more technological change."
"I have a deep feeling that we are not even close to where we should be."
I. Google -- Doing Its Own Thing
Those sound like the words of a CEO of a company struggling technologically. But surprisingly the come from Larry Page, the current CEO of Google Inc. (
) -- the maker of the world's most used search engine, most used online advertising service, and most used smartphone operating system platform.
In a
new interview
Mr. Page emphasizes Google's philosophy on how it differs from competitors. He says that most rivals who have issues with Google are more worried about themselves than their end users, where as at Google it's all about providing the best experience for the end user, which is built on the premise of openness. By providing Google services on as many platforms as possible (even those of arch-nemesis Apple, Inc. (AAPL)), Mr. Page says customers will have access to the best options on the market.
As for Apple
locking out Google Maps and other apps from iOS 6
, he simply comments, "We try pretty hard to make our products be available as widely as we can. That's our philosophy. I think sometimes we're allowed to do that. Sometimes we're not."
Google CEO Larry Page [Image Source: Bloomberg BusinessWeek]
The CEO accuses Apple (and its late CEO Steven P. Jobs) as
being overly fixated
on Google. Reiterating his comments from
a previous interview
, he says that Apple's legal campaign against Google is partly to rally the company against its competitor.
But he says that if you're fixated on your competitor, you're not looking forward at your own future. He remarks, "I don't like to rally my company in that way because I think that if you're looking at somebody else, you're looking at what they do now, and that's not how again you stay two or three steps ahead."
To him, Google has no real "competitors". He comments, "I feel my job is mostly getting people not to think about our competition. In general I think there's a tendency for people to think about the things that exist."
II. Risky Efforts are Important to Software Giant
The interviewer asks about Google's so-called "70-20-10 model" in which 70 percent of the company's spending is devoted to search/advertising, 20 percent is devoted to apps (like
Google Docs
), and 10 percent is devoted to experimental efforts (like
self-driving cars
Project Glass
He says that Google still mostly follows that model, but that some projects fall on the border of categories. He comments, "So where would you put Android? It's probably in the 70 in terms of impact -- the monetization is at an early stage."
As for Google Plus
, he says the social network is faring "pretty well" and is "improving". He suggests that with Plus and other services users may not have received quite what they initially expected, but that Google's philosophy is that users must get accustomed to services before making judgements.

As for how long he will remain CEO at Google (Eric Schmidt was
chief for 10 years
), he says, "I don't know. It seems impossible to predict."
"This is about the Internet. Everything on the Internet is encrypted. This is not a BlackBerry-only issue. If they can't deal with the Internet, they should shut it off." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

Trade in bottles of wine for bottles of uniquely-flavored bitters as your go-to hostess gifts this year.
We're barreling towards the end of the year now and are firmly in the midst of party season. From the awkward office mixer (are you the one that always brings the light-up reindeer ears?) to the elegant cocktail party your interior-designer friend always throws that you're never quite sure how to dress for, your dance card is full.
I don't know about you, but I'd never really considered the "hostess gift" until, frankly, I was asked to write a post about it. It's not that I show up empty-handed, but that bottle of wine or grapefruit-flavoured Perrier (my drink of choice at the moment!) in my mitts is usually destined for both the hostess' glass… and mine.
But, last week, I actually thought it out a bit and tried it. My friend Heide hosted Thanksgiving at her house – no small feat – and so I brought along a little present. Not only did it light her face up, it also made me feel good – a little something to say thank you for getting up extra early so that the table would look good, and a thank you in advance for the hours spent cleaning up after we're gone.
Here's the thing with hostess gifts, though; I need them to be practical. Space is at a premium in most houses, and the last thing I want to do is hand over another kitchen gadget that clogs up the catch-all drawer. So here are my suggestions for inexpensive-but-useful little presents that not only show your host or your hostess your appreciation, but make you look good, too!
1) Music Mix
This is one of my husband's favourite gifts. He'll comb through his top songs of the month, arrange them just-so, and then burn the mix onto a CD. In some cases, he'll also throw the mix up online on websites like Soundcloud, then build a QR code that links to that page, print out the QR code and stick in on the CD cover. That way the host can also scan the mix onto his or her phone. Heck, so can the guests if they happen to like it! Not only is it something the host can throw on that night, but they'll think of you later as they listen to it in the car. Plus, it's a cool new spin on old-school mix-tape exchanges, a tradition I miss heartily!
2) Wine Aerator
I like the fancy-pants aspect of a decanter as much as the next guy, but sometimes you need to open a bottle and drink it toute suite. Enter the little wine aerator that affixes to the wine bottle itself, aerating the wine as you pour! It's just the kind of thing that no one would think to buy for themselves, which makes it the perfect little gift. Plus, it'll make your $10 bottle taste even better. Win-win.
3) Bottle of Bitters
If your host is a mixology fan, chances are they already own a bottle of our friend, Angoustura bitters. But how about a bottle of rhubarb bitters? Or grapefruit? Head to a better liquor store in your area and explore the cocktail section. Another good choice? A jar of Luxardo Marasche cherries, what a Maraschino cherry dreams of growing up to be. I never think to splurge on a bottle for myself, which makes them the perfect gift for your Manhattan-addict of a host.
4) Bottle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (the real good stuff)
Someone gave me a bottle of good quality olive oil recently, the kind that costs $35, and it has now become one of my favourite things to give people. There are only a few people I know who bother to buy the good stuff, because let's face it, spending that kind of money on olive oil in this economy feels like a real luxury. But as a hostess gift? Perfect. Even people who don't cook know how to rip a piece of good bread and dip it in olive oil. People who do cook will find all kinds of inventive ways to finish their dishes with it, and when they do, you will be on their mind.
5) Pretty Kitchen Towels
My kitchen towels are stained and faded. Should someone give me a small stack of pretty kitchen towels, perhaps from my favourite store, Anthropologie? Well, let's just say their wine glass will remain topped up for the rest of the night.
I hope that gets your noggin going. Once you start thinking about cute hostess gifts, you might just find yourself stockpiling them, so you can quickly grab something as you walk out the door. Because, and I say this with only a *little* bit of shame: not only will it make your host/hostess feel loved, it'll make you look AWESOME. The only dilemma? Your name on MORE party invite lists. But managing that is a subject for another day.

SCOOPING up £350 worth of bathroom supplies may not be everyone's ideal prize, but that is what Emma Corke went for after she won a 60-second trolley dash around Sainsbury's.
Miss Corke, 26, of Box, made her supermarket sweep on Sunday, after winning the raffle prize at the Melksham branch.
Given a minute to clear as many shelves as she could, she went straight for the health and beauty aisle, stocking up on shampoo, razors and electric toothbrushes, with price tags totalling £376.25.
She said: "I had a very clear strategy. I wanted to go for stuff that didn't have an expiry date, so I would have things I would always need.
"It was a bit surreal, running round the supermarket with no one else in there, but it was a great experience."
The business rates auditor won the prize in a raffle supporting Carer Support Wiltshire, the store's nominated charity.
Sainsbury's customer service manager Libby Kent said: "She obviously had a strategy, which was great. We weren't sure what she was going to do.
"In the end, she went for health and beauty lines. She said she got all her items for a year."
The store raised more than £100 for Carer Support, which offers information and advice to carers across Wiltshire.
Ms Kent said: "We have a charity each year, which we fund-raise for.
"We run a book stall which people donate secondhand books to and we sell them for 50p, which has raised about £500."

Meet Bernie Peng and Tammy Li
Marriage Proposal via Hacked Video Game Ends in YES!
Bernie Peng, a 26-year-old software engineer from Jersey City, New Jersey, had a clever idea for proposing to his longtime sweetheart Tammy Li. Better yet, he possessed the coding skills to pull it off. His approach worked so well that Tammy (then a 27-year-old associate producer with a NY-based television station) said yes - and their wedding reception drew inspiration from the world's most popular video game as a result.
Bernie... who met Tammy through mutual friends years ago and had been dating her exclusively ever since... knew that Tammy's favorite video game was - and at this point, will forever be - PopCap's smash hit Bejeweled®. "I don't play a lot of video games, but Bejeweled is really the exception," Tammy says. "From the shiny jewels to the straightforward objective of the game and its addicting gameplay, I was hooked at first play." So Bernie, who had dabbled in video game programming before and knew the game wasn't available for Nintendo's GameBoy DS handheld device, did several weeks of research in spring 2008.
Essentially what Bernie did was create a customized version of Bejeweled for Tammy's DS which she could play exactly like the PopCap original... with one major exception: when Tammy reached a certain score, the screen would clear and a digital image of the engagement ring would appear.
"I spent nearly a month just investigating DS programming in general, and then I started re-creating Bejeweled one line of code at a time. I began coding in early November 2007, and by mid-December, I was finished," he recalls with a smile.
Bernie develops financial software for a firm in Manhattan, so "this was both a fun and interesting coding project and the most novel way to express my love for Tammy," he explains. Bernie wrote the Bejeweled DS code in C++, a popular and very flexible programming language. "I used a DS emulator to test the game on my PC each step of the way, and my roommate helped evaluate different input methods to determine what would work best with the DS touch-screen and buttons," Bernie notes.
"I played the version of the game I'd built a LOT," Bernie recalls, "to make sure there weren't any obvious bugs and the game wouldn't crash while Tammy was playing!"
Bernie then presented the game to Tammy, telling her he'd crafted a special version of Bejeweled that she could take with her everywhere. He stood by and watched her play, while holding the real ring in his sweaty palm as the tension mounted and the on-screen ring's appearance drew closer. As the screen cleared and the digital ring dropped from the top of the screen, Bernie presented the real ring to Tammy and asked her to marry him. A shocked and overjoyed Tammy said yes immediately.
The couple was wed on August 31, 2008 in Morristown, New Jersey. The reception had a Bejeweled theme and decorations to commemorate the unique way Bernie and Tammy became engaged. Copies of Bejeweled 2, the latest version of the game, were presented to the 200+ attendees at the nuptials as wedding favors. PopCap was so impressed with Bernie's ingenuity and Tammy's devotion to its flagship title that the company flew them out to its Seattle headquarters in the fall as a sort of "mini-honeymoon."
"We haven't quite settled the question of having children yet," Tammy says slyly, "but if we ever have a daughter, I'm pretty sure we'll be naming her Jewelie!"

Streetsboro police and FBI agents are investigating the robbery of a First Merit Bank branch in the city Thursday.
Police said a male suspect walked into the First Merit branch at 9717 S.R. 14 just before 2 p.m., approached a teller and handed her a note demanding "she put money on the counter and no one gets hurt."
The suspect received an undisclosed amount of cash and fled the bank on foot. No weapon was seen and no one was injured, according to Streetsboro police.
The suspect was later seen on foot in the area of TownePlace Suites and the Fairfield Inn, both near the intersection of Mondial Parkway and S.R. 14. Security video images released by police show the suspect and another male getting into a newer model white Ford F-150 pickup truck with U-Haul decals and markings on it and leaving the area westbound on Interstate 480.
The suspect is described as a white male, bald, approximately 5 feet 9 to 5 feet 11 inches tall, wearing sunglasses and a gray hooded sweatshirt with "Apocalypse" and a set of wings on the back.
Anyone with information on the incident or the suspect is asked to call Streetsboro police at 330-626-4976 or the FBI's Akron office at 330-535-6156.

Metastatic colorectal cancer occurs when
cancer cells travel from the large intestine, through either the bloodstream or
the lymph system, to other parts of the body and continue to grow in their new
location. Recurrent colorectal cancer is cancer that has
come back after treatment.
Metastatic colorectal cancer can be present at the initial
diagnosis or may occur months to years after treatment for colorectal cancer.
Metastasis can affect areas near the colon, such as lymph nodes, or organs in
other parts of the body, such as the liver or lungs.
Treatment of metastatic or recurrent colorectal cancer depends on
how far the cancer has spread, the symptoms, and the area of the body that is
involved. It may include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.

What are some good questions I should ask myself?
Sounds like a good idea. Should I beware of sewer alligators and filthy astronauts? I hear the dentistry at the local breaks is phenomenal! I have wisdom teeth. Could that be taken care of? Will the water make me sick? I'm used to the pristine waterway know as the Chesapeake Bay. Will my needs be accomodated, especially when I tell them how much better it is where I come from? Maybe I will play that Country song. I hear your women have a soft spot for boys from the South. Point me in the right direction. Do I need to wear Timberlands when I surf?

PHILADELPHIA - Former Penn standout, Erin Power, C'11, returns to the Quakers in a coaching capacity where she will serve as a volunteer assistant coach for the 2012-13 season.
"We are delighted to have Erin back," said fourth-year head coach Mike McLaughlin. "She was a terrific leader for us as a player and always possessed a high basketball IQ. Her heart, hustle and enthusiasm were infectious and we know that will continue in her new role."
Power started 49 games in her final two seasons at Penn, including all 27 as a senior. In her final season in the Red and Blue - and only season under Coach McLaughlin - she helped guide Penn to its largest single-season turnaround in school history and helped the Quakers post their first win over a Big 5 opponent in more than six seasons.
As a sophomore, Power, a guard, led the Ivy League in assist-to-turnover ratio. Her 97 assists that season were a team-high and ranked fourth in the Ivy League. Also as a sophomore, she led the Quakers in rebounding, field goal percentage, steals and blocks.
During her only season under Coach McLaughlin, Power finished second in the Ivy League in steals and minutes played. She was fourth in the Ivies in rebounding and eighth in assists. She finished first among starters in field goal percentage, was tops on the team in rebounds, assists and steals, and was second among Quakers in blocks and minutes played.

LIVINGSTON, Ala.—Saint Leo completed the three-game sweep of West Alabama after winning both games of the doubleheader on Saturday by scores 5-3 and 2-1. Saint Leo has won eight games in a row and improved their record to 9-2 on the season.
Bobby Twitty led the Lions offensively with four hits on the afternoon. Also collecting multiple hits was Frank Rawdow.
Starting pitchers Rick Teasley and Brent Krauss both had solid outings on the mound—with Teasley tossing seven and a third innings while striking out five. Teasley gave up three runs in the first but settled in to throw an additional six-plus innings of scoreless baseball to earn the win.
Krauss was nearly flawless in his starting performance—giving up just four hits in his six-plus innings of work while striking out five in the win.
In game one the Lions' bats struggled to come alive and the team trailed 3-0 entering the top of the fourth inning. The Lions remained hitless until the fifth inning but in the fourth received some help from the West Alabama defense and Saint Leo was able to push two runs across the board.
The Lions scored two more runs in the top of the fifth to extend the lead to 5-3 after Dillon Vitale reached base on a single and was eventually brought home on a Taed Moses groundball to third base. The following play, Ryan Brnovich bunted a ball perfectly down the third base line to bring home the second run of the inning.
In game two the Lions scored a run in the top of the first after Rawdow reached base on an HBP and Twitty belted him home on a triple into the right-field corner.
Behind the pitching performance from Krauss the Lions cruised through the game with a 1-0 lead until the top of the seventh when Cole Stancil hit a line drive to right field to bring home Michael Revell to add a huge insurance run.
Adam Albers closed out both games on the afternoon—earning two saves on the day and his third of the season.
Saint Leo gets back in action tomorrow when they travel to Albany, Ga. to take on Albany State for one game.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Initially thought we'd design our own program. Elected to go with this beautiful and simple design. Many compliments as it added a stylish and superior quality look & feel to what we had hoped to do. Lightning fast turn-around. Love that we can design with template to organize detail and see it on the screen. Thanks WPD!"
"This program was everything I'd hoped it would be. It is perfect and flawless in every way. If looking for a wedding program, I would highly recommend this one."
"Just love how easy it was to create our wedding programs and loved how quickly the designer got back with revisions and knew exactly how I needed it to look. Just couldn't be happier."
"These are beautiful, perfect size for a programs & nice thick paper. They present well & will look wonderful at our wedding. I highly, suggest this product."
"I used this product for a 'schedule of events' for my destination wedding. The longer cut allowed me to fit all the information I needed in in regards to a 3-day schedule. The design team at Wedding Paper Divas adjusted the layout and text and transformed it into exactly what I was looking for. The quality is great and the design team got it done super fast."

Hi, first post. This looks like a very informative forum, so I was happy to join.
I am contemplating using the Cloudflare Content Delivery Network because I have a world information site with traffic coming 60% Asia and 40% US. Unfortunately, according to Analytics an Asian user is waiting 45-60 seconds for many pages to load. My dedicated server is in Orlando, FL, so letting Cloudflare cache static content on their Asian servers would probably do a lot to improve load time for Asian users.
Nevertheless, I wanted to post this question to other webmasters who might have used Cloudflare to get their feedback as to whether or not using the CDN has in any way negatively affected with position in the Google SERPs --- hopefully from someone who has been using Cloudflare for 6 months or more.
Personally, I cannot think of a single reason to believe it would have any affect whatsoever, but I did want to field the question for any input you might have in this regard.
Thanks in advance.
We have a blog post about [CloudFlare and SEO that covers many areas of concern. We should actually help your SEO (relative to speed) & not harm it. Some other [URL="http://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-tips-recommended-steps-for-new-use"]quick tips](http://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-and-seo) that will help if you signup.
It's late, but I will definitely have a few more questions if you don't mind.
Right now I just wanted to thank you for the reply. I had not seen the SEO article, and, frankly, as I mentioned I can't see why CloudFlare would affect anything in regards to SERPs or traffic. I am, however, going to continue looking for people who have actually used it 6 months or more and probably test it on a couple of lower traffic sites first.
It's great to know you are here and willing to answer questions.
I did have one question about your Certified Partners program. I set up a test bed on MediaTemple, which has these integration features. I am, however, perfectly happy with my current provider, HostDime. They have made me a couple of extremely good offers for dedicated server upgrades. Would Cloudflare work as well with Hostdime if recommended technical tweaks were performed. I'm sure their support team would be willing to work with me on that score.
Sure should work as well (don't know which panel option they are using right now). If cPanel, then they could look at becoming a CloudFlare partner. We're working for support on other panel options as we speak:)
"It's great to know you are here and willing to answer questions."
I do my best. I don't know everything...but can generally get the answer you need with a little digging.
yes its definitely impact your SEO.because site load speed is affect your SEO ranking.if you use cloudFlare your site will load much faster than normally.
Yes, as this page from Webmaster tools shows page load time is now a new signal for used in determining a site's ranking in organic results: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2010/04/using-site-speed-in-web-search-ranking.html.Hence, an entire section now about page speed on their Developer's Help site: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/. Yet no where in these materials does Google recommend a CDN, which I fine odd, since there is no doubt now in my mind that it works. Over the past two weeks I've gone back to Pingdom.com at least 100 times and verified that with Cloudflare on page load time improves by 33-50%. I certainly have no doubts about the effectiveness of Cloudflare. But changing my DNS and using a reverse proxy... I'd just like to talk to a couple of webmasters who have been around the track and give me some feedback on the SEO effects, if any, before I implement the solution.
I went ahead and activated Cloudflare today at noon, and, as expected, page load time for the first 20 samples used by Analytics to calculated total page load time went from 17 seconds to 4 seconds. Pretty amazing. I've decided to take a chance on Cloudflare and see how this goes in regards to SEO. I think it will be fine since I've spent the past two days looking for everything negative about the service I could find in blogs and forums. Surprisingly, there is very little discussion of Cloudflare and SEO impact, just a couple of other webmasters asking for input as I have here.
I've put it on the calendar to report back here in 30 days.
Thanks for all the input.
HiUsing Cloud CDN (CF or others) has no negative SEO related effects.<snip/>
Also the IP related issue was raised (and answered) in this Google Product forum.http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/webmasters/ZdGscithpOw
Hope this helps.
Well, we are going to see.
One thing I find rather creepy is that its quite apparent that CF and apparently Incapsula have PR teams that are scanning the SERPS for new forum posts that dare even question the SEO implications, then show up like some kind Orwellian Truth Squad to keep reminding us that Google is now using page load time as a new signal and that, therefore, CF or Incapsula has to help. I've seen it implied that Google recommends using a CDN. If there are any such recommendations in their webmaster guidelines, I would love to read those entries. Your blog post features a well known video by Matt Cutts, but he is not addressing the issue of using CDNs in this video.
I want to balance my skepticism with some impressive proof that using a CDN can cause some eye-popping speed improvements.
Using this tool, http://loads.in/#, which is powered by Watchmouse, I just got a 3.7 load time from Mumbai and a little better using the Bangalore server. I was getting some incredibly long delays for any server in Asia just a few days ago --- meaning load times as long as 30+ seconds.
That kind of speed improvement should increase pages views and pages per visit. I will report back on those metrics once the service has been running a couple of weeks.
So, despite my minor misgivings, this is looking very good indeed.
Hi WCI2012
Pretty sinister description
Truth is that there are no "covert PR ninja teams". (tho sometimes I wish they were)
I actually stumbled upon this thread by chance, while Googling for "CDN SEO" discussions after writing a 2-part Blog post on the subject.Before I started working for Incapsula, I was an SEO expert, spent 4 years as SEO/SEM department manager and later on worked as Senior SEO Adviser for several large international firms. For this reason, talking about CDN & SEO seemed like a logical thing to do.
In my post I quote Google employee saying "We don`t treat CDNs any diffidently" - I don't think that implies that Google "recommends" using a CDN, just that it has no issue with that. Having said that, I do feel that (as a rule) using a manually white-listed IP is better than not using one as, for the white-listed IP, the Trust level will be much higher.
As for the Matt Cutts videos, Im sorry but I do think they are relevant as they both deal with IP related SEO myths. True, Matt does not talk about CDN specifically but, as Ive already mentioned, Google has no special "CDN rules".So, everything Matt says there also applies to IP related concerns of Cloud CDN users.
m sorry but I do think they are relevant as they both deal with IP related SEO myths. True, Matt does not talk about CDN specifically but, as I
Best Regards,Igal.
Igal, if you will Google Cloudflare SEO I believe you will see that someone from Cloudflare is johhny on the spot in replying to the poster who raises the question. These replies always come from someone who only has a few posts, which is a pretty good indication they came to the forum to address that issue in a positive light. I don't believe I indicated it was covert, just a bit creepy. Your qualifications are excellent, and I welcome your input. But I'm sure you will agree that the web world is full of people who write articles about SEO, and I'm sure you'll agree a lot of it is good stuff, and a lot of it is spin to get you to buy/do something to your site, so caveat emptor when it comes to SEO advice.
I've spent more time pouring over the Google webmaster and developer help files, and you are correct. Google does not recommend CDNs per se, but it references them so often that it's pretty clear that is certainly no bias against them. So that's a big plus, and I can attest that for anyone concerned about improving performance in Asia from a US server, or performance even in the US, there is no question that Cloudflare has made some dramatic improvements (see my previous post).
Since you refer to "whitelisting", might I ask a question. I'm not sure what you mean by using "a manually white-listed IP". Is this something that requires action on my part?
Hi again
First of all I must clarify, I`m not from CF.I work in Incapsula and we provide similar CDN acceleration and security services. As to their forum activity - I think they just use a Google Alerts (or some other monitoring tool) to keep up with Brand name mentions.
Having said all that, I'm glad to hear about you positive experience with CF Cloud CDN. As I`ve said in my blog post it's still a new technology, and it just now starting to receive wide acceptance.
To answer your question, "white-listing" is something that occurs on a company level. It's a process in which a provider regularly submit IP ranges to be checked and verified by Google (this is the "manual" part of it). This is an extra verification process and, in my opinion, it has a positive effect on Trust related scores.As an end-user, you don't need to do nothing - just sit back and enjoy the ride
This is how we do it in Incapsula. I'm pretty sure this is also true for CF.
CloudFlare might hurt your SEO. At times cloud flare gets overloaded which means that the site goes offline. Not sure on the implications of this, depending on the error page returned.
Now with certain users from countries taking longer to load, might have to do with their internet connection speeds as well as the location. 40s sounds an awefully long time to load a web page, I would not imagine that would be faster than 512kb connection (just it illustrate I got a 30mb/s connection).
I use Cloud Flare but I use it to enhance the security, not really overly concern myself on the search engine optimization factors. However, if the error page is setup correctly, it won't negatively affect your ranking.
Sorry you find this creepy. I really am just trying to address issues relative to our service only. I do not address issues only relative to posts on this particular topic matter at all.
In addition, while Google does indeed factor site speed into the equation, the honest answer is that it is not going to be the only factor in Google's Ranking Algorithms (nobody, save Google, actually knows what is going on entirely here & how they apply weight).
"If there are any such recommendations in their webmaster guidelines, I would love to read those entries. "The Google Blog gives recommendations about improving site speed. Almost every site referenced as a resource recommends using a CDN (Webpagetest.org, etc.) to help with caching static content and the like.
Generic site offline error messages (site unavailable) have nothing to do with us being overloaded. The site offline message is going to appear in two circumstances:
Note: ISP issues or upstream provider issues can also cause this...but it is not the cause of 99% of the cases we see.
"Now with certain users from countries taking longer to load, might have to do with their internet connection speeds as well as the location. 40s sounds an awefully long time to load a web page, I would not imagine that would be faster than 512kb connection (just it illustrate I got a 30mb/s connectio"
Yes, this is true. In CloudFlare's cases, for example, we don't have any POPs in places like Africa or Australia, so some latency will get added until we do (working on Australia as we speak).
CloudFlare might hurt your SEO. At times cloud flare gets overloaded which means that the site goes offline. Not sure on the implications of this, depending on the error page returned.
Sega you`ve raised a good point.
Uptime is a proven SEO factor.
Here is a related quote from Google Webmaster Central blog:"Once in a while we get asked whether a site's visibility in Google's search results can be impacted in a negative way if it's unavailable when Googlebot tries to crawl it. Sometimes downtime is unavoidable: a webmaster might decide to take a site down due to ongoing site maintenance, or legal or cultural requirements. Outages that are not clearly marked as such can negatively affect a site's reputation."
(Full post can be found here: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.co.il/2011/01/how-to-deal-with-planned-site-downtime.html)
BTW: for uptime monitoring I would suggest using Site24x7.com.
Agreed but, in this specific case, there is an official Google comment that states:"While site speed is a new signal, it doesn't carry as much weight as the relevance of a page. Currently, fewer than 1% of search queries are affected by the site speed signal"(Full post can be found here: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.co.il/2010/04/using-site-speed-in-web-search-ranking.html)
This correlates perfectly to my professional experience. Site speed is important, but only to some extend as its just one of 200+ SEO factors.
Site architecture (URL structure, canonicalization and etc), Content and Inbound links (in that order) are the real keys to success.
"Uptime is a proven SEO factor. "
Yes, it is. But issues relative to SERPs changing and the like from site downtime are generally temporary issues from what I have seen, unless the site is experiencing extended downtime .
"In addition, while Google does indeed factor site speed into the equation, the honest answer is that it is not going to be the only factor in Google's Ranking Algorithms (nobody, save Google, actually knows what is going on entirely here & how they apply weight)." Only Google knows specifically what is important relative to how they rank any particular site for XYZ.

The painting could have remained essentially one of the masterpieces of the Musée Fabre, if not for a decision in the 1970s to restore its canvas. At the time, Poussin experts began suggesting the possibility that there were stylistic similarities between the Montpellier painting and another one belonging to a private American collection.
Indeed, the coincidences between the two paintings are undeniable: virtually identical heights, similar theme and execution, and the same provenance, the collection of Cassiano dal Pozzo.
That was when the relining operation undertaken in Montpellier in 1978 revealed on the original canvas a Latin inscription which had been cut off. All that needed to be done was to check the back of the painting in the private collection to prove whether or not it could be the left-hand part of the painting held by the Musée Fabre!
It is now widely believed that the two paintings are two parts of a single work that was cut in half between 1740 and 1771, at which time each painting began to be considered a work in and of itself and acquired a separate history.
Since then, the two works have been brought together at various international exhibits, specifically in Rome and Biella, Italy, where Cassiano dal Pozzo hailed from.
Bringing these two paintings back together is an exceptional event in the world of art history and French museums. This is a happy ending to a remarkable story, resulting in the marvellous renaissance of a masterpiece separated for more than two centuries. Moreover, it is taking place at the very same time as the reopening of the Musée Fabre, after an unprecedented renovation campaign, and will benefit from the exceptional media coverage of the event.
The painting Venus and Adonis, belonging to the Museum collections, will be displayed in the Galerie des Griffons, the historical centre of the Musée Fabre since its creation in 1828, and brilliantly renovated by the architects. Poussin's masterpiece, reunited for the first time in more than two centuries, will be on display along with other 17th century masterpieces by French painters including Vouet, Blanchard, La Hyre, Dughet, and Bourdon, and Italian painters such as Dominiquin, Cagnacci and Preti. This acquisition will reinforce the image of the Musée Fabre, which is already known for its collection of works by Poussin, including Paysage au satyre endormi (also from the dal Pozzo collection); and the drawings La pénitence and Paysage des bords du Tibre, while accentuating the presence of Poussin in French public collections. In addition to works at the Louvre, the artist is represented in France in Rouen, Caen, Cherbourg, Les Andelys and Ajaccio.

My problem with Disney princesses
It's not what you think. Everybody knows that the beloved Disney princess genre has its problems. I can dissect the problematic gender role constructions, unrealistic body types, white-washing, and cultural appropriation with the best of them. The problem I'm navigating right now is trying to explain to the friends and family who don't see the world through this lens why I'm not bursting at the seams to share the genre with my little girl.
You see, part of the problem is that I actually do enjoy watching these films. I grew up on them and loved them and played pretend games about them. My sister scrolls through the channels on a Saturday night and I'm more than content to stop and watch the Little Mermaid. The music is catchy. The dialogue is witty. It makes me laugh and feel anxiety and hope for the best for the main characters. It's good entertainment.
So when they see that I'm enjoying it and then ask me to explain again why I'm not all about re-decorating my daughter's room in princess theme, I feel a little stuck. I spend the next ten minutes explaining each problematic idea and element as eyes roll. Ultimately though, we keep watching it.
So how do I maintain my feminist, critical media literate approach to life and parenting without falling into a do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do cliché? Well, some people seem to think that the up and coming princess movies have taken a turn for the right direction. They exclaim that movies like Brave and Frozen have arrived and we feminists can pack up, go home, and pop some popcorn.
I wouldn't say that's entirely true. They're a bit better, but far from perfect. The thing that does give me hope is that smart, creative people are taking Disney to task in new ways. I love the creative gender-swapped representations of classic Disney characters by an animation student. It shows pretty clearly that gender is nowhere near as rigid as corporate media producers would have us believe. There's also the petition started by a high school junior demanding a smart, funny, memorable plus-size female lead in an upcoming Disney movie.
I hope that demands and representations like these will help to inform future family-friendly entertainment. It definitely reminds me of the importance of talking back to your media. I look forward to the day when I can make popcorn and settle in for movie night with my little feminist with no reservations.
This reminded me of a great article from the Social Justice League on How to be a Fan of Problematic Things (It takes a moment to load)
Thanks so much for this blog! As a feminist, preventionist, and mom who just got back from Disney World with two daughters, I've been doing a lot of thinking about this! I've taken the approach of rounding out the stories (Cinderella goes to college, gets a great job, has a wonderful circle of friends, and is a community leader, etc.); teaching my daughters to identify the strengths in very princess character (there are always strengths, like Ariel is an awesome swimmer, is independent and brave, and saves Eric, etc.); and thinking critically about the messages (the evil step mother does not really exist, women are kind and strong). I wish I could control all of the media they consume, but that is not realistic. And I am very cautious about sending them negative messages about other women (the princesses) because I do not want to reinforce misogyny in any way. It's a journey, right? Thanks for this blog, Ali!
I love your approach and the idea of rounding out the stories a bit. It seems that in order to operate in the real world, we have to continue to rewrite our own narratives and the media we're exposed to.

Evolution Hoax
Atmospheric events like typhoons and hurricanes are disasters we often encounter. The severe winds that form during these incidents are sometimes strong enough to destroy houses, buildings, shacks, trees, electric poles and people.
A hurricane is among the most dangerous and devastating storms in the world. These storms occur between the months of June and November in the northern hemisphere of the Atlantic Ocean and begins in July and lasts for the better part of a year in the southern hemisphere. These ferocious storms form in the warm waters of tropical seas. The formation mechanisms and its effects prove one more time the infinite power of Almighty Allah and the weakness of human beings in the face of this power. Almighty Allah reminds us this truth as follows:
"Do you feel secure against Him Who is in heaven causing the earth to swallow you up when suddenly it rocks from side to side? Or do you feel secure against Him Who is in heaven releasing against you a sudden squall of stones, so that you will know how true My warning was? Those before them also denied but then how great was My denial!" (Surat Al-Mulk, 16-18)
How Do Hurricanes Form?
Almighty Allah creates many conditions for hurricanes to form. For example, hurricanes always begin in the oceans in the tropical belts. Hurricanes can be compared to a machine that operates with heat. When they form, hot and humid air from the water begins to rise. During this process, it takes the tropical warm air and compresses it in a small region. As this warm air rises, the water vapor inside it begins to intensify and rain drops form. This intensification releases a heat called condensation heat. This hidden heat warms the air and prevents it from rising. The rising air is replaced with the warm and humid ocean air that comes from beneath. This cycle pulls more humid air from the ocean below to the developing storm region and continuously moves the hot air from the surface to the atmosphere. This temperature change coming from the surface forms a strong wind that turns like a whirlpool around a center. This cycle looks like the purling of the water flowing down the sink. Following this, lightning and rain are formed. Rain heats the weather even more, and decreases barometric pressure. The wind continues to fill in this space formed by the low air pressure. In this way, hurricanes are actually composed of many small storms. All of these small storms move together in a circle. As the hurricane increases its strength, a space called "hurricane eye" forms in the middle of it. At this point, the strength of rain and wind is somewhat at a lower level.
In order for a hurricane to be formed, many factors have to come together and all of them need to work together as a whole. In addition, it needs to have a fixed centered eye, which is the lower pressure cycle of the hurricane formed, a section called the eye wall where the fastest and strongest winds around the eye take place, and finally different sections that are part of the vaporization cycle feeding the storm and that moves out of the eye and where thunderstorms and rain zones are found. All of these zones indicate the art of detail created by Almighty Allah. If our Lord had wished, He would not create any reason for these storms to be formed, or He would not create details in their functioning mechanisms. All of these details happen as a manifestation of Almighty Allah's name "All-Knowing". Our Lord invites His servants to think one more time about His infinite power, intelligence and knowledge. Our Lord reveals in Surah Al 'Imran as follows:
"In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of night and day, there are Signs for people with intelligence: those who remember Allah, standing, sitting and lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth: 'Our Lord, You have not created this for nothing. Glory be to You! So safeguard us from the punishment of the Fire." (Surah Al 'Imran, 190-191)

Filed under: Children
Preventing obesity should begin at an early age, because children who are overweight often become obese as adults. And while many of us know that we need to eat right and exercise, there are also risk factors that we are born with that we can't change. Now you can calculate your child's risk of developing obesity with an online calculator.
The calculator was developed by a team of researchers who looked at a number of well-known biological and social risk factors for developing obesity. They were able to boil down their findings to six simple factors that provide a reasonably accurate probability of whether a child will develop obesity:
1) The body mass indexes (BMIs) of both parents. (HPRC has a link to a calculator you can use to calculate BMI.)
2) The number of people who live in the house.
3) What kind of work the child's mother does.
4) Whether the mother smoked during her pregnancy.
5) The birth weight of the child (in kilograms). (To convert pounds [lb] to kilograms [kg], multiply pounds by 0.45359237.)
Living a healthy lifestyle is beneficial for everyone, but tools like this can help you determine whether your child is particularly at risk for becoming an obese adult, so that you can make important health changes early in life. For ideas to help your family be physically active and healthy, check out this HPRC Healthy Tip as well as the family physical fitness and family nutrition sections of HPRC's website.

So I changed domains right. I 301 redirected all the old domains files to the new domains root via a htaccess sitting on the old. All went perfect. So in theory Google would transfer most of the old site juice to the new one. It remained like for about 3 weeks or so. Then 10 days ago (I just found out) somehow my old domain got deleted off godaddy. So no more redirect. Just went to a parked godaddy page. I called them and they fixed it. I have no idea how that happened. Maybe hacked. Maybe I did a stupid click or two in my sleep. My traffic went from 60,000 last month to 20,000 this month. So I saw the hit.
Googling the old domain google only shows the parked page. So google has seen it. Presumably google also saw the 301 redirect a few weeks back too. So now that the old site is back up with the 301 back in place how will google proceed???
1) Will it continue as nothing happened and reinstate all my old authority juice flowing into the new?
2) Or will google think the site was deleted and therefore removed all instances of it from its databasis and therefore no more trust juice flowing into new domain?
3) Or did Google already see the redirect and so none of this matters? That one I doubt because I read from google a longtime ago that one should keep their old page up for about 6 months before removing.
See this is a guess-ta-ment answer at best. I think the only person that could truely answer this is Google itself.
you are absolutely right. Only google can help you for this problem. Mail your problem to them and they will definitely give you solution for this problem.
Hey! Contact Google of course. I attempted such by posting it in googles webmaster central http://productforums.google.com/forum/?nomobile=true#!category-topic/webmasters/crawling-indexing--ranking/7FOb998bAao
How long was your site down before you noticed and fixed the problem?
I have run a few tests similar to this (letting sites expire or changing the DNS to an empty directory for an extended period of time and then promoting the same site), and I have found that after some jumping around, my sites have regained authority, usually within a few weeks. I have never tested this theory without writing at least 1-2 400-600 word blog posts a day to give Google incentive to index my site. In order to make sure you remain in Google's good graces, you will probably want to push out as much unique content as possible.
Considering you changed everything back to the way it was originally, I do not think they would not penalize you for an error which was corrected quickly. I would be very curious to hear their response to your question.
PS, I really like the design on your tutorials site
Here is my post on google. Not too much direction yet https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/webmasters/7FOb998bAao/DvgtfF2RhRQJ
Anyone know of a way to contact google? Or how should I go about resubmiting site - because it's all 301'd.
Well google picked up the old site again. Took about 2 days. Now sees the redirect. My page rank on the old site was 3. My new site is still ZERO. It's been about 1 1/2 months since the move. Very annoying because no publishing adds will allow me in with a 0 apparently. Such followers. A mass of sheeps.
Google's PR algorithm is completely separate from their search algorithm, and some would even argue that it is outdated. I have ranked a PR0 site at the top of the first page for "whole life insurance quotes" and "best whole life insurance quotes", and I have seen PR4+ sites ranking on page 4-5 for much less competitive keywords.
PR is a system that remains in place more for bragging rights than anything else. It has little to no impact on search rankings.
Start with a few posts on your new website
Start with some backlinking on your new domain.
The page rank can take a while to appear.
When I transferred one of my website to a new server, it took around 2 months to index everything and in the meanwhileI started with the backlinking to my new domain and it did get to the original PR3.

The Faculty Professional Development Program is committed to providing a supportive community for all faculty members at Northern Arizona University.
Research has shown that participation in a formal mentorship program plays a significant role in faculty members' sense of personal, social, and professional well-being. It is a "powerful predictor of 'good starts' for new faculty" as well as results in "more advanced professional skills, higher levels of research productivity, and greater career advancement" (Boice 2000). Formal mentoring also delivers crucial benefits for senior faculty, revitalizing their approaches to their profession as well as harnessing their considerable expertise and experiences (George, 1997; Martin, 2002; Tauer, 2002).
The Colleague-to-Colleague Mentorship Program at Northern Arizona University fosters purposeful matches between faculty members, addressing these major goals:
Since Fall 2002, veteran faculty have served as mentors, fostering invaluable relationships with new faculty members with whom they are matched.

New Delhi: British retailer Tesco Plc. has been assured support in negotiating local investment regulations if it decides to set up stores in India, after the company sought clarifications on the new policy.
Commerce minister Anand Sharma, who met a number of global business leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, offered Tesco chairman Sir Richard Broadbent all help if the retailer decided to send a team to the department for industrial policy and promotion for consultation, Sharma said. He told Broadbent that "all the foreign investors will be provided hand-holding," according to Sharma.
Broadbent had, at the meeting on Wednesday, sought clarifications on India's new foreign direct investment (FDI) policy for the retail sector.
Indian opened the market to foreign multi-brand retailers in September, allowing them to invest up to 51% in retail operations in the country. Conditions on sourcing as well as opposition from political parties, though, have kept foreign investors wary.
India on Monday allowed Swedish furniture maker Ikea's proposal to set up stores in the country without changing its global business model, ahead of the Davos meeting and finance minister P. Chidambaram's overseas roadshows.
That effectively sorted out Ikea's concerns over sourcing norms and permission for its in-store cafes that are famous for the meatballs on the menu.
Tesco, the world's third-largest retailer by revenue (after Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Carrefour SA), does not have retail operations in India but is present through its global services arm Tesco Hindustan Service Centre (HSC) that provides services for its operations globally.

The Beast of Times 6/7
The Lily Tomlin/Jane Wagner Cultural Arts Center
Friday, June 7, 2013 at 8:00 PM (PDT)
Event Details
The Beast of Times is like Portlandia meets the animals from the cartoon The Far Side, but with sexy progressive queer people of color politics!
The Beasts of Times is also a satirical and queer allegory, which explores the contradictions and pains of coming to political consciousness as "Other" in a world where environmental and ethnic diversity are quickly becoming passé.
A work that employs incisive and poignant humor to expose the human love of greed and the human greed for love, Adelina Anthony writes a theatrical work for a new generation of poltico/as with a good measure of 'throw-back' 'movement memory' thrown in and a queer bent to shape it all.

Today, through our health center, shelters, performance stages and classrooms, we provide services for more LGBT people than any other organization in the world. We are an unstoppable force in the fight against bigotry and the struggle to build a better world; a world in which LGBT people can be healthy, equal and complete members of society.
