You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Did you ever wonder why phone numbers and credit card numbers are separated into little groups of numbers? It's to help you remember them!
Chunking is the technique of taking smaller objects and grouping them into larger objects so they can be more easily remembered. It's much easier to remember 65-74-81-32 than it is to remember 65748132.
Try remembering the letters TRTESEL. Now try remembering the same letters in this order: LETTERS. Because your brain is remembering a word instead of 7 random letters, it doesn't have to work as hard. Essentially, you have compressed more information into a single chunk.
The next time you are trying to remember a list of small items, try chunking them together so you can fit more information into your short term memory.

I Love You More Than Bacon/ Ham/ Steak/ Pork Button/ Badge/ Pin
For a couple of friends of mine, if they turned to me randomly and said this to me, I'd actually tear up. That's how much I know they love they're meat. And the fact that they would give me a bite of their meat (bacon, steak, whatever) shows they depth of our friendship.

October 13, 2012
Santa Clarita, CA - San Diego Christian tallied three answered goals, highlighted by two in a dominating second half to edge The Master's College 3-1 Saturday afternoon on Reese Field.
The loss kept the Mustangs winless over their past four starts, dropping them to 5-8-1 overall and more importantly 1-4-1 in the GSAC where they sit in seventh place. Only the top six teams qualify for the conference tournament that starts in less than three weeks.
It started so well for the Mustangs as Taylor Shahi (Santa Rosa, CA) took a pass from Kevin Scheunemann (Malang, Indonesia) and put the ball past Hawk keeper Cameron Riley just 3:54 into play. It was Shahi's team-leading sixth goal of the season while Scheunemann's assist was his team-best fourth of the campaign.
But, that was the last time the Mustang offense would capitalize on a scoring opportunity the rest of the evening. Meanwhile, the very physical Hawks bided their time and got the Mustangs out of their game the rest of the way.
That led to the tying goal in the match's 31st minute when Andrew Robles knotted things up, sending the ball past Mustang goalie Andrew Bussell (Bakersfield, CA) at 30:32 off a pass from Frankie Zimmerman.
Bussell, who was challenged several times over the opening 45 minutes, notched three saves in the first half as the Hawks outshot the Mustangs 7-2.
The Hawks managed the same number of shots in the second half but doubled their scoring output thanks to Justin Picou. The senior forward put the Hawks ahead for good early in the second half and then clinched the win later on.
The go-ahead goal came just 3:06 into the final period when Picou headed in a cross from Robles for a 2-1 advantage. Then, just under 21 minutes (68:59) later, Picou provided some insurance, scoring off a pass from Eduardo Medina.
The Mustangs' chances in the second half were few and far between as the Hawks' physicality took its toll on the Mustangs, taking the steam out of the hosts in a strong 45 minutes of play.
Bussell had four more saves in the second half and wound up with seven.
Despite their recent winless skein, the Mustangs are still only one game out of the sixth and final playoff spot, trailing Westmont and Hope International in the chase for a postseason berth.
On Tuesday, the Mustangs get a shot at one of those teams when they travel to Santa Barbara to take on Westmont.

Supermarket staff will don bright orange wigs every Wednesday this month to raise money and funds for multiple sclerosis research.
Peter Kane, 34, a store manager at Asda in Mitcham and his 30 colleagues are taking part in ChallengeMS, an annual fundraising event run by the MS Society which aims to raise £125,000 for MS research during September.
Mr Kane signed up to the challenge because his mum lived with the condition for 10 years and passed away last year at the age of 50.
He said: "I spent a lot of time watching my mum struggle with MS over the years.
"It's an unpredictable condition which can throw up challenges on a daily basis.
"I also saw how quickly someone can deteriorate through having MS.
"I think it's important to raise awareness as I don't think many people know about the disease and how it affects the individuals who are dealing with it."
The MS Society is a charity for the 100,000 people living with multiple sclerosis in the UK.
The charity said symptoms of MS usually start in your twenties or thirties.
The condition can get steadily worse, or remain unpredictable throughout your life – one day you can be fine, the next you might lose your sight or be unable to move, the charity said.

What the Cowboys have done, especially with a banged-up defense minus any star players, has been impressive. Beating the defending Super Bowl champs in Seattle would be stupendous — and stamp Dallas as a surprise title contender.
"They're good as a test and we're going to face them," QB Tony Romo said. "It'll be a great atmosphere and it'll be great to get there and play against them."
Brave words.
Dallas' DeMarco Murray is the first running back to rush for at least 100 yards in each of the first five games of a season since O.J. Simpson in 1975. Getting there against the Seahawks' stingy and physical defense that leads the NFL in stopping the run would be another huge achievement.
Seattle needs to clean up the flags: 13 penalties vs. Washington.

England's batsmen began their struggle for a foothold in the final Test after Steven Finn led the tourists' fightback with the ball on day two at Eden Park.
Finn (six for 125) was eventually rewarded for his persistence as New Zealand were bowled out for 443 shortly after tea. Then as the Kiwi attack found conspicuously more swing than England managed for five sessions, Nick Compton dug in on the way to 50 for two at stumps after Alastair Cook had gone cheaply.
England responded with nine wickets for 193, courtesy principally of Matt Prior's five catches behind the wicket and Finn, having taken one for 250 after Cook won the toss on Friday. Peter Fulton's 136 and his second-wicket stand of 181 with Kane Williamson (91) nonetheless helped to give New Zealand a dominant total, in which the top nine all contributed in at least double-figures.
Finn was somewhat flattered by his joint career-best figures, thanks to a late burst of four for 13 in 14 balls to close the home innings soon after tea. There were also two wickets for James Anderson, one with a very good ball and the other with a long hop, to take him level with Derek Underwood on the all-time list of England's most successful Test bowlers and within three of 300.
Anderson expertly found Williamson's outside edge in backward-defence as the number three went caught behind after a 199-ball stay, in which he had hit 15 fours and looked a class act throughout. Stoic opener Fulton stayed put, mustered just five runs out of 24 in the first hour's play on another sunny day.
He almost ground to a halt, having passed his maiden hundred on Friday night, as England starved him of scoring opportunities through his favoured leg-side. Fulton took 100 balls to score 28 runs, after reaching three figures, including 23 spent stuck on 124. Ross Taylor tried to energise proceedings but followed a six and four over midwicket in one Monty Panesar over by chipping a return catch tamely back at the slow left-armer.
When Fulton's seven-and-a-half-hour innings then ended with a spectacular catch behind down the leg-side by Prior off Finn, England sensed an opportunity. But they were to be disappointed before lunch when danger man Brendon McCullum successfully overturned Paul Reiffel's decision, to survive both caught behind and lbw when Finn thought he had him one way or the other for a second-ball duck.
McCullum would fall short of a seventh half-century in eight innings against England this winter, but still shared an important stand of 68 with Dean Brownlie until he became part-time medium-pacer Jonathan Trott's fourth Test victim - edging some full-length swing behind, where Prior took another neat catch standing up. Anderson had Brownlie cutting a poor delivery low to backward-point to go joint fourth in England's list of Test wicket-takers. Tim Southee launched some effective hitting, including successive pulled sixes off Stuart Broad, either side of tea - before Finn ran through the tail.
Prior continued to be a very able assistant, with two more catches - Southee edging an attempted upper-cut and BJ Watling down the leg-side - and Finn ended the innings on a hat-trick after number 11 Trent Boult carved a catch to point first ball. Unfortunately for England, the rush of wickets extended as far as Cook in the third over of their reply when he got a thin edge behind down the leg-side off Boult. That put the onus on Trott and Compton to follow up the double-century stand they shared at Wellington last week, after Cook had also departed early there.
Their reprise lasted only until Trott uncharacteristically lost his balance as left-armer Boult again found some inswing and had him lbw, England losing a DRS 'life' into the bargain. Compton was then close to strokeless, more so even than Fulton this morning, as he and Ian Bell engaged in earnest and successful damage limitation.

Because We Are All Human [VIDEO]
Today is a day to make you think. Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He was a truly brilliant man. He saw for us a life without prejudice. While he may have been speaking during the era of the Civil Rights Movement, his words ring true, even today. His words are bigger than black & white.

About the Book
This is the premium 30cm x 30cm version of 'the light moods'. It is printed on Proline uncoated paper which is very similar to the original exhibition prints.
Australia's Ocean Baths were originally built to safely wet and cool the citizens on hot summer days. Today, along with the ebbing edges of the Pacific Ocean, they hold memories and remnants of past living and lives.
Coastal pools are spread along the East Coast of Australia. They are often nostalgic places - especially in times of special light. Early mornings; warm, soft dusks; bright, hot afternoons and cold, weather-beaten nights.
The Newcastle and Merewether Ocean Baths are very familiar to my camera. I've made images for long enough to know many of the rules of my craft. It's that knowledge that helps me break a few of them from time to time.
With these pictures I used an unusual lens arrangement and techniques to selectively blur and emphasise. I hoped to find pictures that suited memories of special places. Perhaps a little embellished, with some 'facts' less defined but always a steady centre of truth - even as time separates now from then.

Really ****ing stupid from Luck.How about not passing it there and let us punt it in the 4th?

Really ****ing stupid from Luck.How about not passing it there and let us punt it in the 4th?
Wow the refs really screwed that up.
I was wrong, but the refs ****ed us anyway.
OMG! Unbelievable. I can't believe they called that a TD. His knee was CLEARLY down.....I mean it doesn't get any more clear than that. Wow...just....wow...
What the hell is the point of reviewing all scoring plays if you're going to **** it up anyway...
Calls like that are what give the conspiracy theorists fuel. How can you review that and still get the call wrong?
I mean, what was he looking at? How do you botch that call?
I guess thats payback from the Dwayne Allen fumble that was called dead earlier in the season @ Tennessee
Guess the NFL needs a bright orange flag to challenge a review.
I know his knee was down and the referees screw us up but Luck didn't have to throw it to the Titans either, stupid mistake.
Ok get Delone carter outta there
Wow....Reggie saved Carter's *** there...
Thank God for Reggie Wayne.
I bet the Alabama defense could get pressure on Luck.
The story of this game is that both of Tennessee's lines are just whipping the Colts lines asses. Bottom line that's the problem.
Aaaannnnd Fleener is hurt again. :rolleyes:
Not many QBs can get thrown down like that and immediately bounce back up like it was nothing.
My God if you ask any person(relevant or not with the NFL) if that Luck had a knee down,would tell you so.The refs though,couldn't see that.How the **** is that possible?
*****.....can we give the guy at least SOME time to make a decision? How can you let this happen? Tennessee is living in our backfield.
Can we replace the entire offensive line before next week? Embarassing and unacceptable.
Just one of those games.....wow
The whole OL needs a slap in the face and a hard wake up call.Pathetic.This is not looking good at all.
I hope we replace our entire o-line in the offseason. These guys suck and don't deserve to be in the NFL. They're getting their asses beat and they don't have a clue how to block.

|Gen Zen
|Part 2: No Strain, Blade Ruiner, A Clean Exchange, and more.
No Strain. Cooling problems are in fact one of the most common
causes of genset failure, which is why virtually every manufacturer interviewed
for this article considered maintenance of that system a top priority.
But Nelson Wilner, president of Mase North America, cites a component
not generally considered part of the cooling system as one of the three
most common maladies his service people encounter. He says that even a
slightly clogged sea strainer can reduce the supply of sea water to the
heat exchanger, eventually leading to overheating. Pressman cites potentially
more serious maladies. "Sometimes when a strainer is clogged, it
can't do its job and will allow material to reach the raw-water impeller,
damaging blades," he says. "This can cause bits of the rubber
impeller to break off and lodge in the heat exchanger, where they clog
its small passages." Kohler recommends checking your genset's
raw-water strainer before every start. Most genset manufacturers urge
you to remove at least one side of the acoustical enclosure every few
months so that you can take a good look at your unit's condition.

If you must know…I love wearing sunglasses. Always have and always will. I don't know where it started. But, I do know they not only offer style benefits, they also offer protection for your eyes. You will hear me say that over and over and over. And with all of the current trends from the 80's and 90's, you had to know that the sunglasses were going to get in on it. I saw a few of these retro styles at Torrid the other day and couldn't help but try them on. Unfortunately, they didn't really fit the shape of my face. That sucks! All I can do is look at you enjoy these retro style sunglasses. No fair.
Will you be rocking retro sunglasses this summer?

Hi guys,
I was just wondering, if you have an online business and you need to update it and upload a lot of new files without the live site going down, is there some way of switching over to a secondary "shadow" server whilst you do the updates and then switch back when done?
Actually you don't do the updates on the production server, you do them on the staging server (your shadow server), test test the site, then swap the two servers. Swapping can fail, so you never do it until the last minute. However, this is only really do able if you have the infrastructure, you will not be able to do this with a standard web host. Can do this with cloud hosting however, Amazon, Windows Azure (easy, seamless todo in Azure). But if you are wanting to do this on your own servers its going to cost a lot of pretty monies.
Thanks logic_earth, I will look into your suggestions, thought it would be possible, appreciate your advice

Indiana trades: Austin Croshere, Jamaal Tinsley, Stephen Jackson
Indiana receives: Al Harrington (S&T), Andre Miller
Atlanta trades: Al Harrington (S&T)
Atlanta receives: Kenyon Martin
Denver trades: Kenyon Martin, Andre Miller
Denver receives: Austin Croshere, Stephen Jackson, Jamaal Tinsley
The Pacers get Al and a good PG in Miller, while ridding themselves of Tinsley and Jackson. Trading Jackson opens up room for Bonzi if he's signed.
The Nuggets get rid of Kenyon's contract and get an expiring contract. This allows for Nene to take the starting PF spot. The price they pay for that, however, is the possible downgrade at PG. But, they also get a good SG, which they need.
The Hawks don't lose Al and get nothing in return. Kenyon's another talented forward who could start if Shelden Williams isn't ready.
The only question is if Atlanta would be willing to swallow K-Mart's contract. If they don't, the deal falls apart.
Also, remember that Atlanta is under the cap. So Al Harrington's contract would not have to equal K-Mart's, and in this case, it wouldn't. K-Mart is due almost $12M next season. In this trade, Al's starting salary would be around $9M.

Everyone Hates Katherine Heigl
Shortly after filming Knocked Up, Katherine Heigl took a huge dump on the film calling it "sexist" despite the fact it catapulted her career. She later followed that up by shitting on the writers of Grey's Anatomy by not submitting herself for an Emmy because the writing wasn't good enough. However, her career was allowed to move along because she was making bank in romantic comedies, or at least was, and then everyone got sick of her (My guess? The Killers with Ashton Kutcher. It was cancer on toast.) and now the knives are out. Below are the highlights from a new The Hollywood Reporter piece about Katherine's attempts to save her career by returning to television and how, along with her mother, she's made that close to impossible by opening her face:
On making things worse immediately after the Knocked Up quote:
Production had gone smoothly on 27 Dresses, says a high-level source involved in the film, until it was time to promote the picture overseas. "There were movie-star demands — big rooms, the mother there, all the stuff," says this person. " 'We need the presidential suite at The Bristol!' It was just a sense of entitlement. The biggest stars don't do that kind of thing." The prospect of working again with Heigl lost its allure.
On being a pain in the ass filming One For The Money:
But another insider on the project recalls "desperately difficult situations" with Heigl, from casting to wardrobe and beyond. (Heigl, who was paid $12 million, didn't have casting approval but insisted on exercising it, says this source.) "She can cost you time every single day of shooting," says this person. "Wardrobe issues, not getting out of the trailer, questioning the script every single day. Even getting her deal closed at Warners was hard. She hit that point of 'no.'"
And her mother not helping with that:
"I have never experienced anything like Nancy Heigl," says this source. "It's about the mouth. 'F— you. You are a f—ing liar.' … Whatever you'd say, you were an idiot. The call would be, 'This is the worst craft service we've ever had! There's nothing to eat! This is the worst wardrobe!' You knew that every day, you were going to get slammed. The frustrating part is [Heigl] is incredibly talented and smart."
On how returning to television is working out for her:
A top producer at another network says there were reservations when Heigl's name came up a few months ago for a project that had been greenlighted to pilot: "On many levels, she would have been perfect for the role, but all of us said, 'She's not worth it.' " But sources say NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt personally pushed for the deal. He declined comment.
For the record, there were some nice quotes about Katherine Heigl, but they were boring just like the information about her actually landing a show with NBC three days ago. Also, that would involve journalistic integrity, and my last post was about a nipple. Who are we kidding here?

This was the meal that got my head back into grilling after my long lull. My grilled Easter dinner hadn't done it for me, I really wasn't in the mood to grill again. But when I was asked what I was going to make next weekend, I started thinking about how the weather was warming up and I could do my first paella back out at the grill. This is as opposed to doing it indoors on the stove then in the oven where you don't get that wonderful crispy bottom crust, called the socarrat. The socarrat is a badge of honor for paellas, not unlike the smoke ring on barbecued foods. The socarrat is not difficult to achieve outdoors on the grill and it makes doing paella on the grill the only way I like to cook them. The paella recipe was called Pealla de Pollo, Naranja y Alemendras (Chicken, Orange and Almond Paella). While looking through the Paella, Paella cookbook I also found a recipe called Ensaladia, which was a wonderful looking traditional Spanish potato salad recipe. I decided I would make that as well, with the alteration of my cooking the veggies on the grill, which in my mind would only make everything better. Another advantage to the salad was it was meant to be made a day before and refrigerated overnight. On the day I was making the paella, I just had to remember to pull a salad out of the fridge an hour before I was ready to eat. there are a ton of pictures, so rather than keep rambling on I'll let pictures tell the rest of the story. I'll only add that the paella was delicious as was the potato salad.
It was time to start making the Grilled Ensaladilla the day before. The ingredients are all gathered and they consist of: red potatoes, green beans, red bell pepper, onion, carrot, hard boiled egg, olive oil, sliced baby gherkins, capers, stuffed olives, peas, kosher salt and black pepper and garlic. The dressing used lemon juice, Dijon mustard and mayonnaise.
The potatoes and carrots of been parboiling and sliced and it is about time to head out to the grill. For those of you who are wondering: the vitamin C tablets are used with the oil for the green beans and keeps the green beans from turning a funny color on the grill.
The hard-boiled egg is done and is about to come out of the water. The other pan has the oil for the green beans. It consists of lemon rind, extra-virgin olive oil and garlic, which was heated to a boil and then is allowed to steep off of the heat for approximately an hour. The time is just about up and the oil will be strained to remove the solids. Then the green beans will be tossed with the oil before going out to the grill.
The veggies have been placed on a wire rack, sprayed with olive oil, and then seasoned with salt and pepper. It is time to go out to the grill, which is been preheated to medium heat.
The veggies are all on the grill. I used a wire rack for the green beans to prevent them from falling through the grill grates.
It is about 10 minutes later than last picture, and all the veggies but the potatoes are ready to come off the grill.
I was sure these grilled veggies will add even more flavor to the salad.
Everything is back off the grill. The potatoes took about another six minutes after I'd remved the other veggies. It's now time to cut and dice everything up and put it in the salad.
All of the ingredients of been combined for the salad. The dressing consisting of mayonnaise, Dijon mustard and lemon juice is just about ready to be mixed.
Here is a close-up of the salad before the dressing has been added.
Here is the salad after the dressing has been added. The next step is for the salad to go into the refrigerator for about 24 hours until I'm ready to use it the next day. The overnight stay in the fridge should help blend the flavors
It is now a day later and it's time to start making the paella. The ingredients have been gathered including: Slivered almonds, orange juice, diced onion, saffron, minced garlic, thin sliced pickles, sliced olives, Bomba rice, chicken broth, olive oil, kosher salt and black pepper.
Boneless skinless chicken breasts have been cubed and seasoned with olive oil kosher salt and black pepper.
Everything is out at the grill and the grill is fired up for direct medium heat.
The first step is to heat the olive oil in the paella pan until it shimmers.
Meanwhile the orange juice, chicken broth and saffron are being slowly heated in a small pan on the sideburner.
After the olive oil has come to temperature, the chicken is added and is browned on all sides.
The chicken is done browning.
The diced onions and minced garlic has been added to the pan.
Next the sliced olives & gherkins go in.
The rice is added to the pan and is allowed to sauté for approximately 2 minutes.
The rice is done sautéing.
The chicken broth/orange juice and saffron mixture are added into the pan and the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
The lid is closed on the grill and the mixture cooks for approximately 20 minutes, until the rice has absorbed all liquid and has been thoroughly cooked. Here is the paella after that 20 minutes of final cooking.
The Grilled Ensaladilla has been out of the fridge for an hour and is ready to serve. It gets sprinkled with some fresh cilantro just before serving.
The paella was rested for five minutes and was sprinkled with fresh parsley and slivered almonds and now is on the table ready to serve.
The Pealla de Pollo, Naranja y Alemendras and the Grilled Ensaladilla were very good pairing as they had similar ingredients and flavors.
This paella had interesting flavor. It was different from many of the paellas I have made before due to the citrus in the broth and the nuts on top.
This paella also had an interesting consistency too. It had a crusty bottom crust (the socarrat) plus the top layer was crispy as well due to the toppings of the slivered almonds.
I will definitely be making this unique paella and potato salad again.

Enhance your ad with extensions
- Understand how extensions work
- See where extensions can be shown
- Choose extensions suited to your business goals
- Set up and manage your extensions
See how a business like Main Street Flowers uses sitelinks, call, and location extensions to enhance its ads. By adding extra pieces of information about the business to their ads, they're giving customers more reasons to click.
Ad extensions create more reasons to click your ad
Ad extensions are a type of ad format that show extra information ("extending" from your text ads) about your business. Some can be added manually and others are automated.
Similar to higher ad positions, ad extensions give your ad more prominence on the search results page. This additional prominence has two main benefits:
- Improved visibility: Ad extensions tend to improve your ad's visibility.
- More value: Ad extensions often increase your total number of clicks by improving the click-through rate (CTR) of your ads. They provide valuable ways for users to learn more about your business or interact with your ad, such as making a phone call to your business or providing more links to your website.
How ad extensions work
AdWords shows one or more extensions with your ad when it calculates that the extension (or combination of extensions) will improve your performance, and when your Ad Rank is high enough for it to appear. Adding an extension won't guarantee that it will show with your ad, but you can keep track of when your extensions are appearing on the Ad extensions tab. Since AdWords requires a minimum Ad Rank (factoring in your extensions) before showing extensions, you may need to increase your bid or your ad quality (or both) in order for your extensions to show. Learn more about why extensions might not show with your ad.
Automated extensions: AdWords creates and displays the automated extensions formats when it predicts that they'll improve your ad's performance. No setup is required, so the option to create automated extensions doesn't appear in the drop-down menu of the Ad extensions tab.
What ad extensions cost
There's no cost to add extensions to your campaign, but you're charged as usual for clicks on your ad, as well as for certain interactions that extensions provide. For example, you're charged for clicking on a download button (app extensions), on a call button (call extensions), on a directions icon (location extensions) and so on. Clicks on review extensions and seller ratings are an exception: we don't charge you for these. AdWords charges no more than two clicks (per impression) on each ad and its extensions.
The cost of clicks on extensions are set in the same way as headline clicks: the most that you'll pay is what's minimally required to keep your extensions and ad position. Learn more about actual cost-per-click
Ad extensions and your cost per click (CPC)
Just as ads in higher positions usually have a higher actual CPC, ads with extensions also often have a higher actual CPC due to competition for prominence on the search results page. However, you can often get more clicks for less money by using ad extensions, as opposed to increasing your position.
Your actual CPC for ads with extensions is calculated the same way as for ads without extensions – you pay just enough to beat the Ad Rank of the advertiser with the next highest Ad Rank or the minimum Ad Rank necessary to appear in that position. The Ad Rank for your ads with extensions is adjusted for the expected impact of ad extensions and other ad formats by taking into account the relevance, click-through rates and the prominence of your extensions. The more prominence your ad receives, the more impact ad extensions will have on your Ad Rank. This means that a moderate amount of prominence may have little or no impact on your actual CPC, but a large amount of prominence may have a larger impact on your CPC. Learn more about actual cost-per-click (CPC).
When and where extensions can be shown
AdWords shows your extensions depending on a number of factors:
- Your Ad Rank, which combines your bid, the quality of your ad and landing page, and the expected impact of extensions and other ad formats. AdWords requires a minimum Ad Rank (factoring in your extensions) before showing extensions. So, you may need to increase your bid or your ad quality (or both) in order for your extensions to show.
The position of your ad on the Google search results page. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- There's a limited amount of space available above Google search results for ad extensions, and ads in higher positions get the first opportunity to use this space for extensions.
- There's a limit to the number of extensions each of the lower positions may receive, and in general, you won't be able to get more prominence from ad extensions than you would from moving up an ad position. For example, let's say that your ad is currently in position two. Imagine that moving up to position one would give you 30% more prominence, but adding a second extension to your ad would give you 40% more prominence. If that's the case, you wouldn't be eligible for the second extension and would need to raise your bid or quality (or both) to move up to position one in order to get more clicks. Keep in mind that this limit doesn't apply to the top ad above search results since there's no prominence to gain from a higher position.
- Some extensions only show in ads above search results.
- Other ad extensions that you've enabled. In each auction, we'll generally show your highest performing and most useful combination of eligible extensions and formats.
Ad extensions appear with ads on the Search Network, and depending on the extension might also appear with ads on the Display Network. Check the table below to see which extensions need you to choose the "All features" sub-type. Learn more about how to choose the right campaign type.

text: I bought a whole discount ribeye roast a few months back and sliced and grilled a few steaks off of it. The marbling wasn't very good and I learned my lesson about buying discount ribeyes - never again. Anyhow, at that time I cut the remaining rib roast into two smaller roasts and froze them. I pulled one out of the freezer this weekend and smoked it today. 4.5 lbs, seasoned with Montreal Steak and put on the Gator Pit at 250 degrees for about 3.5 hours before it reached an internal temp of 135. I let it rest on the counter for about 1/2 hour and then dug in for dinner. Results were good but not great. You can only do so much with lesser grades of beef. All in all, it was definitely edible – actually quite good, just not prime texture.

Duck Duck DuffusScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
Duffus Mcclutski, having way too much spare time on his hands, decided to train the ducks in his pond. When Duffus held up a dark blue card, the ducks swam to the right; and when he held up a dark red card, they swam to the left. His neighbour, Mr. Redneck, was quite impressed - though he was also impressed by Duffus's used tea bag collection.
"Your ducks are well trained, not as well trained as my dogs, but well trained," boasted Mr. Redneck, for he was almost expert at training dogs and had won many awards.
"I'll bet you $100 that you can't train your dogs to move left to right or right to left, using only these cards," challenged Duffus!
"You're on!" said Mr. Redneck.
"Now, no talking or other signals in any way, or the bet is off. Just raise the dark red for right and in the same hand the dark blue for left."
Mr. Redneck agreed and had 3 weeks to train one of his dogs, yet he couldn't get any of his dogs to respond properly. Frustrated, Mr. Redneck paid Duffus.
Now Duffus was not normally a betting man. Why was he so sure he could win?
HintIt has to do with the color of the cards.
AnswerDuffus wasn't sure if all dogs were colorblind, but he knew the breed that Mr. Redneck had were. Ducks, however, can see colors better than humans can. The dogs wouldn't be able to know when to go left or right as both cards looked the same to them.

Does anyone know how i can put a current style to a link in my menu even tho its a one page design? otherwise i usually put a class="current" to the correct links in the different files.
Anyone know how to this? I guess i have to use JS aswell?
You've lost me ... if it's only one page, why do you need a menu?
its one-page but with different sections, with anchors and a scrolleffect. Surerly u have seen onepage designs before?
Ah, gotcha. Yes, in that case the easiest way would probably be to set an onClick on each of the links that would (a) clear the 'current' style from any other menu link, and (b) apply the 'current' style to that menu link.
If you're not sure how to do that with Javascript then let me know and we can move this thread over to that part of the forum.
If you're not sure how to do that with Javascript then let me know and we can move this thread over to that part of the forum.
Okey, yeah would be nice if you could move the thread as i don't know how to do that with Javascript=)
Easiest way would be to use jQuery and a scrolling plugin (such as localScroll).
Here's an easy to follow tutorial..
Thx very much will check it out=)
EDIT: Maby i was unclear in my topic. I do have the site and the scroll effect already, the thing i want to do is make the menu links display an active/current style different from the other links when on the correct part of the page. Like on this page for example http://wearemotto.com/ .
Oh, sorry.That shouldn't be too hard. Can you post a link to your page?
Here ya go. You can do this with JS or jquery. Take your pic

According to accounts narrated by Abu Abdullah Nuaim Ibn Hammad from Abu Jaffar ibn Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir, Hazrat Ali (as) was asked of the characteristics of Hazrat Mahdi (as) and he answered as follows:
The light of his [Hazrat Mahdi's (as)] face rises to his head and the blackness of his hair. (Ibrahim Suleymanoglu, Mehdilik ve Imamiye [Mahdism and Imamate], p. 153; Iqdud Durar)
... His [Hazrat Mahdi's (as)] hair hangs over his shoulders. The light of his face gives him grandeur. He has black hair. He has a black beard. (Mari' bin Yusuf Karami Hanbali, Fawaid Fawaid al-Fikr fil Mahdi al-Montazar)
The light of his [Hazrat Mahdi's (as)] face shines like day over the blackness of his hair, beard and head, and gives him grandeur. (Al-Uqayli, An-Najmu's-saqib fi Bayan Anna'l Mahdi min Awladi Ali b. Abu Talib Ale't-Tamam wa al-Qamal)

Washington — Maybe it's time to call it Chartergate.
U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., encountered more political headwinds relating to her travel on chartered airplanes Thursday, with her Senate office saying her re-election campaign would be reimbursing her official Senate expense account for the cost of yet another charter flight related to a campaign event.
The reimbursement is the second disclosed this week that is part of Landrieu's effort to square her spending with federal law, which prohibits tapping official accounts for campaign purposes.
Both disclosures, reported initially by CNN, followed on media examination of official records of senators' spending from their office accounts — an examination that generated a USA Today article July 31 reporting that Landrieu shelled out more than $47,000 from her account in 2013 on charter flights (among 24 senators who paid more than $1 million total for charters).
That spending is legal, as long as the travel relates to the duties of Landrieu's public office. But it, nonetheless, generated criticism of Landrieu from her Republican challengers, and they have tripled down this week.
"Sen. Landrieu obviously does not have any protocols in place to protect taxpayer dollars," a spokesman for her leading challenger, U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy, of Baton Rouge, said Thursday in a prepared statement. The latest revelation "shows a pattern of mismanagement" by Landrieu, the spokesman said.
Another Republican in the race, former Entergy executive Rob Maness, said in his own statement Thursday, "Every day, new details about Sen. Mary Landrieu's questionable and illegal use of taxpayer dollars are exposed. This isn't an isolated incident, it's an ongoing pattern of behavior."
A spokesman for Landrieu said the latest correction flows from an "abundance of caution" on Landrieu's part to make sure she is following the rules.
Each senator is allocated an office expense account by the federal government, with the amount varying depending on the population of the senator's state and its distance from Washington. Senators are allowed considerable discretion in how they spend the money, but it is restricted to official needs. Landrieu's account runs to about $3 million a year, which she uses primarily to cover staff salaries and travel.
The more recent disclosure of a foul-up with the account concerns a Landrieu trip by charter plane from New Orleans to Shreveport and on to Dallas in September. Landrieu traveled to Shreveport on official business to attend a civil rights event that extended late in the day then continued to Dallas for an overnight layover prior to taking a commercial flight to Washington, her office said.
Her campaign team added a fundraising event in Dallas to her schedule the next morning, her Senate office said. Her office account covered the entire $5,721.23 cost of the charter flights, and because of the campaign event, that account will be reimbursed for at least the Shreveport-Dallas leg of the trip, Landrieu's office said.
For trips that combine official business and campaign activities, senators are supposed to allot their expenses proportionately between their official accounts and campaign treasuries. But the Senate's guidance for the bookkeeping says the cost-sharing provision is not triggered by "incidental" campaign activity on a trip — activity that amounts to less than 15 percent of the total time and effort.
Because there are no direct flights from Shreveport to Washington, Landrieu was scheduled to lay over in Dallas in any case to catch a plane from there the next morning for her trip back to the Senate, her office said. But in an effort to clear the record, she will forgo the possibility of classifying the campaign activity in Dallas as incidental, her office said.
The other incident was more clear-cut: On Nov. 8, Landrieu flew by charter plane from New Orleans to Lake Charles to attend a $40-a-plate fundraising lunch attended by hundreds of women. The $3,200 bill for the round trip was submitted to her office account, which paid it. When reporters started to look into her total charter expenses, her campaign said it reviewed the records and discovered the billing mistake, which it blamed on the charter company, Butler Aviation, of Houma.
Company President Bobby Butler declined Wednesday to discuss details of his business with Landrieu, but he said it's possible the company made the mistake.
Butler also provided the planes for the September trip. In both cases, Butler will resolve the billing snafu by crediting the office account for the amount of the misdirected payments and then rebilling Landrieu's campaign, her staff said.
Also Thursday, a conservative advocacy group, Keep Louisiana Working, said it had filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission over Landrieu's use of official funds for the November trip. Paul S. Ryan, of the Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan, nonprofit Washington group that supports strong enforcement of campaign laws, said Wednesday that because of the relatively small amount of money involved and Landrieu's moves to correct the mistake, it was unlikely the FEC would take action against her. FEC complaints typically take more than a year to resolve.

A MINUTE'S silence was held in memory of club stalwart Geoff Turner – who died last weekend – before Somerset Stragglers' game against Wellington's Midweek XI.
The match itself saw Stragglers win by three wickets after dismissing Wellington for just 99.
But the ball was the real winner as 17 wickets fell for just 199 runs in 55.4 overs of the 90 allocated.
Stragglers asked Wellington to bat and saw Richard Henwood (11) hit the first ball of the game for four.
But only two more double figure scores were forthcoming as Wellington struggled with the bat on a pitch that had been exposed to heavy rain overnight and was slow and low.
Damon with 3-12 in five overs and J Larkman bowled well with the new ball for Stragglers and at 35-6 in 12 overs Wellington were in real trouble.
But a bright and well-made stand of 48 for the seventh wicket between Arron Campbell (34) and Ben Evett (25) more than doubled Wellington's score.
Evett pulled the ball well behind square and Campbell played well on the leg side too, but both were out within five runs of each other and Wellington mustered just 11 more runs before being dismissed in 29 overs.
Max Capaldi and Macaulay Campbell were in good form with the new ball for Wellington and removed Stragglers openers Coles and Caswell for 23 combined.
Ben Evett's potent leg spin took 2-22 in six overs and Rob Moysey was in control when delivering five overs of the same. But Carson (22) and McKee (25) kept Stragglers in the game.
With the score 87-7 the game could still have gone either way but Foden hit the ball to the fine leg boundary to clinch the match.

Hard Ground/Turf Gloves
As goalkeeper gloves have diversified, brands have begun making gloves for every situation such as wet weather gloves, hard ground or turf gloves, youth gloves, women's fit, and finger saver goalkeeper gloves. These turf or hard ground goalkeeper gloves in this section are made from a denser latex and in some cases, a textured palm that helps prolong the life of the glove when playing on artificial turf or hard natural surfaces.
While there is nothing that can prevent wear and tear from turf fields, these gloves will definitely last longer than standard goalkeeper gloves.

About Murray Hill & Edgewood Village
Named after a neighborhood in Manhattan, Murray Hill (Heights) was a 1907 transplant of the northern section of the Edgewood subdivision, which was plotted in the 1880s.
Many of the streets in the area, such as Cassat Avenue and Challen Avenue, are named after investors in the Edgewood Company that platted Edgewood in the 1880s.
Previously known as Murray Hill Avenue, Edgewood Avenue was designed with a wide landscaped median, similar to Springfield's Main Street, which featured a streetcar line in the median.
In this early photo, a semi-convertible streetcar with 'Union Depot' on the destination curtain is bound for the Myrtle Avenue loop, a portion of the Murray Hill Heights car line. Semi-convertible cars were introduced by the J. G. Brill Car Company in 1903 and were popular in the southeast for their removable windshields that easily converted the ends of the car into open platforms for balmy summers. Image courtesy of Florida State Archives.
In 1913, the Florida Military Academy was constructed two blocks North of the future Edgewood Village. In 1914, streetcar service was extended to Edgewood Avenue, connecting the Florida Military Academy with the City of Jacksonville. A year later the first commercial building on the First Block would rise.
In 1916, Murray Hill was incorporated into its own town with Hugh Lauder serving as its first mayor. Many early residents in the area were railroad workers who built homes in Murray Hill with its close proximity to the Seaboard Shops in Lackawanna.
Like the communities surrounding it, Edgewood Village would rapidly develop over the next decade, serving as a commercial district for both Murray Hill and Telfair Stockton's subdivision, Avondale. Edgewood Village's commercial counterpart, Shoppes of Avondale, would develop simultaneously with the growing residential districts surrounding it.
The August 3, 1923, Sunday edition of the Florida Times-Union (p 20) devoted 3/4 of the page under the headlines, "Electric Car Line Building to Big Academy," 'Myrtle Avenue Extension is Being Pushed Out Banana and Myra Streets," "Track Laying is Lively," and "Grading Gangs Pushing Work to Complete Job By October 1 - A Big Developer for Section."
The work was pushed South from the South-end of Myrtle Avenue turning West on Forest (Date Street) to Dellwood (Banana Street), to Margaret Street, where it jogged from Myra, to Stockton Street (Barrs Street) to College. On College, the line crossed the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad tracks, then ran along the West side of the railroad to Edgewood Avenue.
The first photo that accompanied the article in the Times-Union was of track gangs on Dellwood between Gilmore and Margaret. There are a couple of stately homes visible at the corner, a corner that is today exactly under the middle of the I-95 ramps. There was a short delay at the corner owing to City Engineering and the Jacksonville Traction Company trying to resolve a utility relocation conflict.
As a result, the track gangs were sent further South and they continued to push the railhead another 1/2 mile out. Just as every streetcar suburb before it, the newspaper boldly and correctly surmised that, "It is anticipated that the entire community will settle up rapidly."
With yet another reason given for the rapid sales and settlement, the newspaper reported that, "Murray Hill Heights is rapidly becoming a residential suburb. The Jacksonville Development Company Officials state that they have sold nearly $200,000 worth of building lots in this subdivision since last March, when the work of development began.
"There are now several miles of paved streets lined with shade trees and the company has a splendid artesian well from which it proposes to lay water mains to supply the homes of all who purchase lots from the company. The plans for development also include a modern sewer system. An immense septic tank will be used, similar to the one in New Springfield, which takes care of all the sewage of that suburb.
"New houses have been built and others are in course of construction, and the company announces that it will build twenty bungalows of attractive design during the next few months."
While the commercial district's residential neighbor, Avondale, was being marketed by Stockton, the Town of Murray Hill was officially annexed to the City of Jacksonville in 1925. Nevertheless, rapid growth in the area would continue with houses being built at a rate of one every two days in 1928.
Rapid growth spurred by the electric railway dictated changes to the Traction Company's scheduling in the Murray Hill area. The newspaper reported that, "Riverside and Murray Hill service will be increased. All Riverside cars will run to Talbot Avenue in Avondale, maintaining a six-minute headway. Murray Hill cars will observe a seven-and-a-half minute schedule to the railroad crossing on College Street. A fifteen-minute headway will be run to the end of the line."
And of course the end of this line was in what we call "Edgewood Village" in "Murray Hill" today. More specifically the line ended with a double track platform station in the median of Edgewood between Mayflower and Colby Streets.
Edgewood Theater image courtesy of Florida State Archives.
By the 1930's, Edgewood Avenue was known as the "Avenue of Progress," featuring a large number of specialty shops and four grocery stores. One of the last structures built in Edgewood Village, now referred to as the First Block, was the Edgewood Movie Theater, which opened in 1947. This structure is now the campus of Jones College.
Edgewood's peak years were between the late 1950's and mid 1970's. In 1975, the academy building was demolished to make way for the Florida Christian Home development.
The First Block Today
The First Block remains a vestige of an era when the Murray Hill Heights streetcar line was popular. If commuter rail returns to the CSX A-Line, one of Jacksonville's original commercial transit-oriented developments will again be linked with fixed mass transit and the economic vitality it brings.
The two-story structure in the center of the image was completed in 1919. Tillman Dry Cleaners occupied the ground level in 1940.
Edgewood Village (The First Block) is located on Jacksonville's Westside along Edgewood Avenue, just west of the Roosevelt Boulevard interchange.

I still remember it - the excitement of the first day of school.
My school supplies were ready. I had carefully picked out a backpack, pencils, notebooks and markers.
I loved milk breaks, reading and playground time. It was always nice to be in a homeroom with someone I knew, but I also enjoyed meeting new friends.
As a reporter, there are some stories you just don't want to write.
Bad stuff happens, and it's our job to report it. But that doesn't mean it's fun and we enjoy it.
I've heard people question why we have published such and such story. They've also asked why those stories have to be printed on the front page.
Twenty-five years. It's hard to believe, and, as I look back, it just doesn't seem like it's been that long. Really, it doesn't even feel like I should be much older than 25, and it sure doesn't seem like I should be 25 years removed from my high school graduation.
Balloonist's Prayer
"The winds have welcomed you with softness.
The sun has blessed you with his warm hands.
You have flown so high and so well,
That God has joined you in laughter,
And he has set you gently back again,
Into the loving arms of Mother Earth."
From The Band Perry to Willie and Waylon, the notes struck a chord with everyone who came out to listen to the 33rd annual K-Country Showdown last Thursday. Part of Campbellsville's Fourth of July Celebration, the event is popular among country music fans and supporters of local talent.
John "Bam" Carney
State Representative
We are only a day away from marking the 238th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence, when a young nation stood up against the oppression of the British monarchy and sought to create a country "for the people, and by the people."
She sits among several of her fellow residents at the long-term care facility I visit, ensconced in her wheel chair, sometimes napping, sometimes staring.
I suppose I've walked past her dozens of times, greeting her with a casual "Hello," or "How are you?" I can't say I've taken the time to wait for a response. I've felt her tired eyes following me as I've quickly disappeared around the corner and down the hallway.
But this day, she stopped me cold in my tracks.
Taylor Countians are pretty lucky.
Our community is full of people who pitch in to help others, and most of the time for nothing monetary in return, only the satisfaction of making a difference in someone else's lives.
There are three specific examples I can give you of this happening just in the past few days.
First, a committee of people put together last Friday night's annual Relay for Life events to raise money to fight cancer.
I made a challenge for myself, and as badly as I hate to say it, I failed.
As Taylor County's annual Relay for Life event kicked off on Friday evening, I had set a goal for myself to walk 100 laps around the high school track to raise money in memory of my friend and co-worker, James Roberts, who died of cancer last year.
The money-raising efforts were supported by many of you, either in the form of a donated amount or in the form of a pledge made for each lap I walked.
To that very first class of students who sat in his classroom more than 34 years ago, he said he was sorry.
"I had no clue what I was doing," William Wallace Evans said.
Yet every person who attended the retirement celebration for Taylor County High School's longest-serving agriculture teacher on May 31 will readily vouch for Evans' value as an educator and leader in the Taylor County community.

8 Spring Vehicle Maintenance Tips
March 10, 2010
News Highlights
Saturday, March 20, marks the first day of spring and the Fairfax County Department of Vehicle Services encourages residents to use the eight tips below to prepare vehicles for the warmer weather and help alleviate the wear and tear from the winter's harsh weather. Regular maintenance of vehicles reduces harm to the environment, prolongs use and helps to retain value.
Check your owner's manual for routine maintenance instructions and use these eight tips:
- Check the air filter (at least twice a year). Dirty filters increase fuel consumption and can cause poor performance.
- Inflate tires according to manufacturer recommendations. Under-inflated tires are a safety hazard and can cut fuel economy.
- Check all fluids, which may have become depleted during the cold weather.
- Routine oil changes will keep the engine running smoothly, reduce harmful emissions and prolong the life of the vehicle.
- Spark plugs should be in good condition. Some will last for 100,000 miles, but many need to be replaced more often.
- Wash and clean the vehicle inside and out to clean off road salt and dirt, which can tarnish paint and diminish the vehicle's value.
- Check wiper blades, which may have become damaged from ice and freezing temperatures.
- Keep track of gas mileage. If there is a decrease in fuel economy, the vehicle may not be operating at peak performance.
