Nuts About Pecansby Dana Angelo White in Healthy Recipes, November 29, 2012
Buttery, crunchy, plus full of flavor and healthy fats — so many reasons to go nuts over pecans!
Pecan Basics
Dating back to the 16th century, pecans are the only tree nut native to North America. The name "pecan" comes from the Native American term used to explain "nuts requiring a stone to crack."
Wide-scale propagation of this nut began in the late 1880s and today 80 percent of the world's crop is grown in southern states like Texas, Louisiana and Georgia. The National Pecan Shellers Association list of fun facts includes that it would take 144 million pecans to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool.
Nutrition Facts
One ounce of pecans (about 19 pieces) has 195 calories, 3 grams of fiber and both heart-healthy mono and polyunsaturated fats. Pecans also contain minerals like zinc, magnesium, copper, iron and selenium.
How about a hefty dose of antioxidants? A 2011 study published in the Journal of Nutrition reported vitamin E and other compounds found in pecans may help prevent heart disease.
What to do with Pecans
Straight up snacking and trail mix are obvious choices for this munchable nut. Go the sweet route with flavors like cinnamon and ginger in cookies, cakes and pies or opt for more savory combinations for spiced nuts, cheese platters and coatings for poultry and fish.
Storage Tips
When kept in their shell, pecans can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to 12 months. Because the delicate oils found in pecans can turn rancid, shelled pecans are best kept in the refrigerator or freezer. The Texas Pecan Board recommends storing them in an airtight contains in the refrigerator or freezer for anywhere from 6 months to 2 years depending on whether the nuts are shelled or not.
Recipes to Try:
Spiced Pecans
Pecan Sandies
5-Ingredient Sweet Potato Casserole
Ginger Pecan Oatmeal Crisps
Cinnamon Pecan Twists
Sesame Pecan Chicken Strips

Did you know?
The oldest person to do the Sun City zip slide so far was a Scottish grandmother of 84.
At 280m high and 2km long, you're guaranteed the ride of a lifetime when you try the Sun City zip slide, or Zip 2 000. Operated by Unreal, a world leader in the design, construction and use of extreme zip slides, Zip 2 000 is officially the world's longest and fastest zipline.
Travellers with a yen for extreme sporting adventures cannot afford to miss out on this phenomenal ride when visiting South Africa.
The Zip 2 000 at Sun City adheres to all necessary safety standards and is certified by the Department of Labour. Secured in two harnesses and suspended below a free-running trolley attached to a steel cable, you'll experience the feeling of flying and acceleration as you descend down the wire.
Solo and tandem slides are available for anyone over the age of 12, making this a fun activity for the whole family.
Dubbed 'a unique rope experience at length', the Zip 2 000 takes the original foefie slide (as zip slides are known by locals) concept to extremes. In Australia and New Zealand these slides are known as flying foxes, while in the United States they're called zip wires or aerial runways.
Sun City itself is the ultimate family holiday destination, boasting two world-class golf courses, while tennis, squash, various water sports and hot-air ballooning are also all available. Sun City is also an entertainment paradise with world-class hotels, including the Palace of the Lost City, the Valley of the Waves Waterworld, an extravaganza theatre, casino, and various cinemas and luxury retail outlets.

DENVER - People who test positive for smoking pot can legally be fired from their job, the Colorado Court of Appeals ruled Thursday in deciding that there is no employment protection for marijuana users.
In a split decision issued on Thursday, the court said marijuana use is still barred by the federal government, even though state-licensed marijuana use has been approved by voters and is considered lawful.
The ruling comes in a case filed by a quadriplegic man who was fired after he tested positive for marijuana, even though there was no indication he used it while on company property.
Morgan Fox, spokesman for the Marijuana Policy Project in Washington, said the ruling is a setback.
"It's unfortunate, considering how much support there is for medical marijuana that employers don't see this like any other medication," Fox said.
The case involves Brandon Coats, a telephone operator for Dish Network LLC. Paralyzed in a teenage car crash, he's also been a medical marijuana patient in Colorado since 2009. Coats was fired in 2010 for failing a company drug test, though his employer didn't claim he was ever impaired on the job.
Coats sued to get his job back, but a trial court dismissed his claim in 2011. The judge agreed with Dish Network that medical marijuana use isn't a "lawful activity" covered by the law.

Amongst the latest releases from www.familysearch.org are some English records.
The info on Cornish parish registers is ….
Cornwall parish registers containing baptisms, marriages, banns, and burials. Records are restricted for privacy reasons according to the following dates: baptisms to 1910, marriages to 1935, and burials to present. Date ranges of available records may vary by locality and availability. This collection is being published as images become available.
These records are scans of the original registers which is great, however they have not all been indexed so you may have to browse the records page by page – just like the old days when we used to trek to the Record Office !
I can recommend reading the Research Wiki before you start using these records only takes a minute or two, but it is important they you have a sound understanding of the records that you are looking at. Knowledge is King in genealogy!

Music moves quickly online. Almost too quickly. The blessing and curse of its digital age has become that somebody, somewhere, has already heard your favorite new song before you will. What you read about, sample on SoundCloud, or get sent by a friend is less often a personal discovery than: bleh, old news. Take Chet Faker's blissful, stop-you-in-your-tracks cover of "No Diggity." When I heard it last week on the Melbourne-based singer-songwriter's seven-track EP, Thinking in Textures, it was a revelation. Then came the disappointment. I must have been on vacation last fall when it topped the MP3 aggregator the Hype Machine's "Most Popular Tracks on Blogs" list. Apparently, it's actually been floating online for the better part of a year already, propelled not just by hype, but also real-world airplay on BBC Radio 1 in London and in Faker's native Australia. His latest single — out last year everywhere else, but new to America via this week's stateside release of the EP — is another stunner. To start, "I'm into You" is definitive proof that Faker isn't a one-'n'-done bedroom pop maestro, better with clever covers than original thoughts. Very little else right now sounds like this: Lopped Wurlitzers, acoustic guitars, and ambient R&B textures add up to something not unlike Active Child meets R. Kelly, or a Bizarro World D'Angelo/Bon Iver amalgam. Faker's got a smoky, unaffected drawl that belies a lot of big talk — the kind of things we wish we could get away with telling a woman, like "I hope you're listening right now/'Cause I can barely hold my tongue/The shit we do could warm the sun." But for all its electronic bells and whistles, its best calling card is a melody strong enough that it's easy to imagine Faker stripping away the ones and zeroes and rendering an equally affecting solo acoustic version. It's as crafty a tune as I've heard all year — one that, even if I've come to it late, sounds nothing less than perfect at the moment.
Because the overlap of two decidedly different voices weaving in and out of this Everly Brothers tribute isn't nearly as jarring as the collision of blitzkrieg speed and odd time signatures. Quite possibly the oddest-arranged, and most strangely compelling, cover of 2012.

SleepyFE - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - linkUnlike Dustin i don't like blue (my brother does, so u simply MUST hate it) but i love the H-Frame case. The whole case is a pasive cooler (or at least it looks like one) and that makes it look fantastic. There is no price announced though. Could anyone please fix that. Reply
MonkeyPaw - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - linkLooking at the first pic, I assumed that was a mATX or mITX case. That think must be massive! I like it though. Reminds me of something you'd see on ST:TNG. :o Reply
Kensei - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - linkLove the styling of this case. If I needed a desktop computer, this is the case I'd get; practicality and price be damned. Reply
Torrijos - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - linkjust wished there was one more Hard drive tray (1SSD + 4HDD) and also space for a bottom intake radiator.
Still they get points for trying. Reply
Belegost - Thursday, January 10, 2013 - linkThe PSU mount looks like a weak point, it looks like the only thing holding it up is the face screws through the aluminum plate, and with heavier PSUs I would be worried about the aluminum plate warping. Not sure why they didn't bottom mount the PSU, then it could rest on the aluminum fins. Reply
WakeCrusher - Sunday, May 12, 2013 - linkUm... It does... Are you looking at the rear fan mount?
The PSU opening isn't large... and its certainly not traditional some of the metal fins cover half of it.
So to be clear, The PSU actually is bottom mounted and it is resting on those bottom fins. Reply

If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask God, and He will give you another Paraclete to be with you forever. (John, 14:15-16)
But the Paraclete … whom God will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. (John, 14:26)
When the Counselor comes … he will testify about me. And you also must testify about me... (John 15:26-27)
But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Paraclete will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment. (John, 16:7-8)
In regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; in regard to righteousness, because I am going to God, where you can see me no longer; and in regard to judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. "I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. (John, 16:9-13)
I will not speak with you much longer, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no hold on me. (John, 14:30)

Residents have been evacuated after a 25ft crater swallowed up part of a house in an historic market town dubbed the Sinkhole Capital of Britain.
The house is on the brink of collapse after a giant chasm appeared underneath the property in Magdalen's Close in Ripon, North Yorkshire.
The owner of the detached property, Peter Cunningham, came home from work to find the extension of his home was coming away from the main house after a 25ft crater appeared under his home.
He rang the fire brigade at around 5.40pm on Monday, who then came out to their house and rescued their dog.
Mr Cunningham, who runs local taxi firm P&P Taxis, said he was devastated by the collapse.
Yesterday the property was continuing to move, with local residents expecting the house to collapse completely.
Two properties close by were evacuated as a precaution.
Social worker Debbie Carter, 47, was told to leave her house at around 6.30pm.
She said: "I only moved in to the house last week and this happens. I wasn't scared because I was sure the authorities were doing all they could to keep us safe, however, I am worried about the house."
But the fact it has happened doesn't come as much of a surprise to the locals in Ripon, as the city is known to them as the sinkhole capital of Britain, as a large part of the city is built on gypsum deposits.
Gypsum is a soft material that dissolves much quicker than the surrounding limestone – particularly after persistent heavy rainfall. The latest incident in the town - which opened up on Monday evening – is believed to have been caused by a gypsum fault.
A giant 36ft-wide and 46ft-deep hole that first appeared in 1834, and remains open to this day, is said to have inspired the rabbit hole in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.
On April 23, 1997, a sinkhole formed near the same site measuring 32ft-wide and 19ft-deep, and destroyed four garages as well as seriously damaging two nearby houses.

Spidey Will Team Up With Marvel's Horror Heroes In 'Ultimate Spider-Man' Halloween Special
If I'm being honest, I think all I've ever wanted out of any Marvel cartoon is for Swamp Thing and Howard The Duck to team up and hang out. And while we are still a long, long way from that ever happening (because that's never happening), we're closer than we've ever been. A few weeks ago, Howard made a brief cameo appearance in an episode of Marvel's Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H., and now Marvel has announced a special one-hour Halloween episode of Ultimate Spider-Man for October, featuring Spidey teaming up with Blade, Werewolf by Night, The Living Mummy, Frankenstein's Monster and Man-Thing.

As part of our ongoing experiments with selected permaculture-related projects, we are putting together what is called a Hugelkultur Raised Bed.
We have a little terraced area located below our hydro-pneumatic water storage system very near to our kitchen (zone 1 anybody?). These are tree branches, some really big and thick, that came from a tamarind tree that we had to trim back quite a bit.
So the idea is that you put these trees down and simply pile dirt over the top. But they say to do it about five feet wide and 6 or even 7 feet tall! The higher and steeper the form the more water it stores during the rainy season. Supposedly, these are "no-water" gardens; once established, as the wood breaks down it becomes more and more of a sponge and you can grow tasty vegetables and fragrant herbs without needing to water the raised bed.
In forthcoming days we will be adding some plantain tree trunks, some mixed tree branches, dead leaves, and on top of that some green materials and semi-finished compost, then finally just some plain old dirt dug up for another project. Then plant, water to ensure the seedlings thrive, and, well we'll see and report back to you, our faithful reader(s)!

Please wait while you are redirected.
This fall, the Texas Business Hall of Fame Foundation honored Jones School MBA candidate Emma Fauss as a recipient of one of 19 $10,000 scholarships. The foundation's goal is to acknowledge and help underwrite "the promise that is being demonstrated by Texas business students." And Emma Fauss's accomplishments and goals are indeed promising.
Fauss is driven to make a difference. Her drive led her from a Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering from The Cooper Union to a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of Virginia. While pursuing her Ph.D., she discovered that her desire to see ideas implemented in the world meant that she might be more suited to business than academia. "I saw a lot of great ideas that just never got out of the lab," she explains, "and that bothered me. I wanted to know why these solutions weren't getting out there, why they weren't changing the world."
While pursuing her Ph.D., Fauss became involved in a project that eventually led to co-founding her own company, Medical Informatics Corp, a software company developing next-generation clinical decision support technologies. "The problem was capturing real-time data that wasn't being captured in a hospital and make use of it. The project was interesting to me," she says, "because it was fulfilling a need, providing a solution that could have a big impact on people."
But becoming CEO of a company was not enough for Fauss. As she explains, "In order to implement change that technologically makes sense you need to be able to communicate it in a way that makes business sense. I decided that you needed to have someone who could talk to the brilliant scientist and then translate that to the people who might finance it." She believed that pursuing a business education would be an opportunity to learn the language of business and "help bring those technologies that could help transform the world into the world."
This belief led her to pursue her MBA at the Jones Graduate School of Business. "I looked at a lot of business schools and got some great offers from other institutions. But Rice offered something unique that no other organization could offer me: Rice was an excellent school, and everyone was warm and welcoming," she says.
As it turns out, the warmth at the Jones School had a big impact. With a Ph.D. already in hand, Fauss was not interested in having to compete for resources and mentors as she felt she'd have to do in other top-tier programs." I liked the fact that I was going to be welcomed," she explains. "And some of the mentors I've had here are the best mentors I've had in my academic career. Many professors at Rice, specifically Kim Kimmey, Tom Kraft and Gale Wiley, have a lot of real world experience in the entrepreneurship space. And they have really taken the time to help me improve in areas I've wanted to improve in."
The warmth and camaraderie aren't the only cultural aspects that she likes about Rice, Houston and Texas. "I've found that if you are willing to go out and pursue the hard work yourself, you are kind of rewarded for that. If you're a go-getter, a cowboy of sorts, you can make something of yourself here. That's a cultural mentality that carries itself through."

This morning we reported in the FT that bishops in the House of Lords are leading an attempt to exempt children from the below-inflation rise in benefits. This follows on from the comments of Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, over the weekend, who said:
By protecting children from the effects of this bill, they can help fulfil their commitment to end child poverty.
But just as interesting as the bishops' response to government attempts to slash the welfare bill has been the reaction of Tory MPs to the archbishop's comments. Read more

What's the connection between martial arts and European financial market regulation? Answers in Bulgarian, please. Because the most colourful member of the newly elected European Parliament's powerful economic and monetary affairs committee is surely Slavi Binev, a Bulgarian MEP.
Binev is a Taekwondo champion whose parliamentary website describes him, with little exaggeration, as "the most recognisable figure in the history of martial arts in Bulgaria". Perhaps I should add that he is also a wealthy man who belongs to Bulgaria's ultra-nationalist Ataka party and who runs a company specialising in nightclubs, construction and finance. He knows, shall we say, how to look after himself. Read more

Arcata Council to meet in March to plan search for new City Manager
ARCATA- The Arcata City Council will have four months to search for a new City Manager. The current City Manager, Randy Mendosa, announced that he will retire on July 7th after holding the position for the past five years.
Mayor Mark Wheetley said the council will meet in closed session in early March to discuss how they will conduct the search. The city could recruit from within the city or recruit from out of the area. Wheetley said there is enough time to fill the position that the city will most likely not have an interim city manager.
"We're going to miss him," said Wheetley who has conducted three separate searches for city managers in the past..
Wheetley said Mendosa will be hard to replace, "It's a tall order to fill." He said the next person to hold the position will have to balance the cities unique qualities as a college town.
Mendosa started serving as city manager in 2009 and was appointed to the position after serving as Chief of Police, where he served the department for 28 years.
"I've really enjoyed working for the City of Arcata, I couldn't imagine working anywhere else," he said.

PITTSBURGH -- Energy companies, environmental groups, and even Hollywood stars are watching to see what decisions President Barack Obama makes about regulating or promoting natural gas drilling.
The stakes are huge. Business leaders don't want government regulations to slow the flow of hundreds of billions of dollars of clean, cheap domestic energy over the next few decades. Environmental groups see that same tide as a potential threat, not just to air and water, but to renewable energy. And on a strategic level, diplomats envision a future when natural gas helps make the U.S. less beholden to imports.
Some say the unexpected drilling boom presents historic options -- and risks -- for the Obama administration.
"It's a tough choice. The president is in a real bind," said Charles Ebinger, director of the energy security initiative at the Brookings Institution, a Washington, D.C., nonprofit. "I think the question is what does he want his legacy to be?"
Ebinger said that if Obama fully embraced the boom in gas drilling the nation could see "incredible" job gains that could lead to "a re-industrialization of America." Possibilities like that are tempting to any president, and perhaps even more so in the current economy.
"But really embracing this stuff is going to bring him squarely in conflict with some of his environmental supporters. It's not without some possible peril, particularly if he gets to be seen too cozy with the oil and gas folks," Ebinger said.
Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has made it possible to tap into deep reserves of oil and gas but has also raised concerns about pollution. Large volumes of water, along with sand and hazardous chemicals, are injected underground to break rock apart and free the oil and gas.
Environmental groups and some scientists say there hasn't been enough research on water and air pollution issues. The industry and many federal and state officials say the practice is safe when done properly, and that many rules on air pollution and disclosure of the chemicals used in fracking are being strengthened.
The Sierra Club is already trying to slow the gas rush, which began in Texas and has expanded to Pennsylvania, Colorado and other states. It's started a nationwide "Beyond Natural Gas" campaign to push for more regulation on an industry it describes as "Dirty, Dangerous and Run Amok."
"We need to avoid replacing one set of problems with a new but very different set of problems," said Michael Brune, the Sierra Club's executive director, referring to coal and natural gas. Investing in green energy makes more economic and environmental sense, he said.
The Sierra Club knows natural gas will be a part of the nation's energy future. "How much a part is a big fight right now," Brune said.
Such arguments have resonated with many environmental groups, and with actors and musicians who are lending their star power to anti-drilling efforts.
The Hollywood film Promised Land is scheduled for release in December, starring Matt Damon, with a story line about drilling from best-selling novelist Dave Eggers. But even before its release, critics pounced on the fact that some financing for the project came from a company in the United Arab Emirates -- a country that stands to lose money if the U.S. gets more of its energy needs at home.
Brune agreed that "you have to acknowledge that there are benefits to home-grown energy."
Critics say many states haven't been tough enough on the industry, which has objected to the idea of national drilling regulations. Some state officials oppose such proposals, too.
"Yes, we are concerned," said Patrick Henderson, energy executive for Pa. Gov. Tom Corbett. "Upwards of 10 federal agencies are seeking to put their proverbial nose under the tent with regard to oil and gas development." He added that federal intrusion "is a surefire way to impede job growth. We'll be vigilant of proposed federal rulemakings."
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is conducting one major national review of drilling and potential drinking water impacts, but it won't be finished until 2014.
Jack Gerard, president of the American Petroleum Institute, which lobbies for the industry in Washington, is hoping Obama's campaign rhetoric doesn't change.
"He has evolved on the oil and the gas issue, and today, he gives it a full-throated endorsement in terms of the need to produce it to create jobs, get our economy back on track," Gerard said in a postelection conference call.
Most experts agree that Obama faces four big choices about the gas boom: whether to back nationwide EPA rules; whether to keep pressuring coal-fired power plants to reduce emissions (which benefits gas as an alternative fuel); whether to allow large-scale exports of liquefied natural gas; and whether to support a national push to use compressed gas in commercial vehicles.
One expert in Texas predicted that Obama won't go to extremes.
"I don't think the administration will do anything to halt development," said Kenneth Medlock III, a professor at Rice University's Center for Energy Studies in Houston, adding that there will be "some attempts" to move regulations into federal hands.

What Is a Watershed?
A watershed is an area of land that drains all of its water to a specific lake or river. As rainwater and melting snow run downhill, they carry sediment and other materials into our streams, lakes, wetlands and groundwater.
The boundary of a watershed is defined by the watershed divide, which is the ridge of highest elevation surrounding a given stream or network of streams. A drop of rainwater falling outside of this boundary will enter a different watershed and will flow to a different body of water.
No matter where you live, work or play you are within a watershed!
Our streams and rivers may flow through many different types of land use in their paths to the ocean. In the illustration to the right from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, water flows from agricultural lands to residential areas to industrial zones as it moves downstream. Each land use presents unique impacts and challenges on water quality.
How Big Is a Watershed?
The size of a watershed can be subjective; it depends on the scale that is being considered.
The image to the right depicts the extent of the Chesapeake Bay watershed, "the big picture" that is linked to our local concerns. This watershed covers 64,000 square miles and crosses into six states: New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia.
Fairfax County, as shown on the map, makes up 400 square miles of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The 400 square miles is divided into 30 major watersheds, which then flow into the Potomac River watershed, then into the Chesapeake Bay watershed and finally into the Atlantic Ocean. Think of watersheds as being "nested" within each successively larger one, similar to Russian nesting dolls.
For additional information, please contact the Stormwater Planning Division, 703-324-5500, TTY 711.

Yet more ploddledygook
- Details
- Created on Thursday, 14 May 2015 15:58
We've heard a fair bit of 'ploddledygook' before now, and we've covered plenty of it on these pages. The police, however, continue to make very little sense.
They've come under fire, once more, for talking absolute nonsense in their 'Candidate Information Pack' extended job advert.
The police, according to the information pack, are looking for a 'pioneer in blue-light collaboration' who can 'reframe dilemmas'.

The survey suggested that one in five patients has taken the wrong dose of medication on at least one occasion. It also found that 39% of patients surveyed would like their doctor, nurse or pharmacist to avoid technical terms when explaining medical matters.

Opt-in scam
- Details
- Created on Monday, 30 March 2015 09:33
This isn't the first time we've mentioned this issue, but it's now serious enough for the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to want to ban it.
The FCA has suggested that 'opt-out' selling, where a customer has to untick a box to avoid buying something, is earning £108million a year. Almost a fifth of those falling for the scam are completely unaware of having done so.

I have a client who has a company which has two functions. These can be represented by the words 'A,B,C and D'. ABC is one of the functions and C is the second.When I did a keyphrase search AC has a good result ie high search low competition, as does BC, and also CD. The phrase ABC isn't a good keyphraseThe client needs a domain name. The domain name ABCandD.co.uk would have a mixture of all the good phrases but would Google stop at the word 'and'? Also would the domain suffer from the fact that ABC is not a great search term.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Good question - I would like to know the answer to this also.
first, for clarification, is D the second function?in your post, you say, "ABC is one of the functions and C is the second." ... is this a typo?secondly, there is a great article on seo which addresses the "and" in your title... see http://yoast.com/articles/wordpress-seo/thirdly, as you probably know, when you search for a domain name, the registrar offers up additional options. this could be helpful in brainstorming (even if you don't use any of the suggestions, it may trigger you mind to a new option... see http://www.netsavers.com/DomainSearch/Searchfinally, if you have not decided upon a platform, wordpress gets very favorable search engine results.(i've answered this question as if you are a beginner... please do not be offended if you already know all of this... i used to teach school and i've learned that the best policy is to start at the beginning on a topic).good luck!
Hi, yes C was a typo and D is the second function. Thanks for the article link. Really useful. I've listened to one of Yoast's webminars in the past and it was brimming with great info. And no offence taken at answering the question as though I were a beginner - I am where domains are concerned and this makes the info much easier to understand.
SEO-wise, I think the domain is doomed from the start. Most search engines will avoid under 4 character searches and abc is too general. Next, the "and" is just ignored.
The domain name wasn't actually abc. These letters just represented different keywords
I would suggest that you go with any two keyword combinations. Just check with which combinations which has more searches and low competition in google's keyword tool. You could also go with a three keyword combination , i.e. ABC but then if these three are good keywords, then you can think of using it (Although i feel its not a great idea). However i recommend that you don't use any stop words in domain name.
Do use ABandC at all. Use combination of any two words that describes best about the company on the basis of search engine results and keyword analysis.
I wasn't using A, B or C - these were just letters I used to represent the keywords I am using
It is little complex for me to understand. but I would like to suggest you dont put all these keyword. only use one that is more important for you. also try to find a keyword that can easily define a nature of business.
After three months, I expect the client has decided on a domain name.

Details of Big Head Todd And The Monsters and the Ticket Luck value
Big Head Todd Monsters is a rock band from Boulder, Colorado that has been active since 1986 and is widely regarded as one of the most popular rock bands today, known for their unique blend of rock and blues. Many a label, including Warner Bros, Big, Reprise and Giant have released their music. Known also as Big Head Todd & the Monsters, this is undoubtedly a group to catch live with Big Head Todd Monsters tickets in hand for a fabulous rock filled time.
Big Head Todd Monsters has released a number of albums since their debut with their 1993 album, Sister Sweetly, selling more than a million copies in the US and being certified platinum. They have a huge fan following in the US, particularly in the so-called Mountain States. The band began with vocalist and guitarist Todd Park Mohr, drummer and vocalist Brian Nevin and bassist and vocalist Rob Squires, who has studied at the Columbine High School.
Big Head Todd Monsters was formed when all three were at the University of Colorado, beginning with a tour of clubs in the Colorado cities of Fort Collins, Denver and Boulder. They traveled in a van dubbed The Colonel, travelling more than four hundred thousand miles. In 1989, they founded Big Records and released their debut album, labeled Another Mayberry. In 1990, they released another album, titled Midnight Radio, which was highly successful.
By 1993, Big Head Todd Monsters had gained a massive following due to their live touring, leading to the release of a live album, a recording of their concert at the H.O.R.D.E Festival held in 1993. The same year, they were signed onto Giant Records and released their platinum certified album which contained three chart topping rock singles; Circle, Bittersweet and Broken Hearted Savior. Their next album was released in 1994, charting on the Billboard 200, and was followed by a song for the movie, Blown Away.
In 1997, Big Head Todd Monsters released another album, produced by Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads fame. In 1998, they released a live album and followed it up with a studio album in 2002. In 2004, they recorded another album, released through Warner Music, as well as a live album. The members of the Space Shuttle Discovery specially requested the band to write a song, which was released on iTunes and was even used by Hilary Clinton in her presidential campaign in 2008.
In 2007, the band performed an annual charity concert at the Red Rocks Amphitheater for autism research with the recordings sold in USB flash drives. In 2008, they released their eight studio album followed by a tour in support of the album. In 2010, they began recording new music, including songs writer by Keith Richards, Mick Jagger and Cherster Burnett. In 2011, they began a special project labeled Big Head Blues Club, recording an album that celebrated the music of Robert Johnson alongwith the likes of B. B. King, David Honeyboy Edwards, Ruthie Foster and Hubert Sumlin.

Giving new meaning to the lyrics of That's Amore, astronomers involved with the SETI organization have found a rather pizza-like occurrence on Io, a moon of Jupiter.
The SETI team, who use powerful telescopes to search for interstellar anomalies, have discovered a series of volcanic eruptions plaguing the moon. The results of all of these lava-fueled explosions? The moon now looks like a delicious pepperoni pie. This has caused the team to nickname Io the "pizza moon." If only moons were made out of cheese.
None of the world's pizza chains have announced a thirty minute or less guarantee to or from Jupiter, however. Perhaps after scientists master warp drive technology?

For some reason, I decided that the middle of August was a good time to visit the Middle East. Not only is it staggeringly hot, it's also Ramadan and food has been a little difficult to come by in the Muslim cities I've visited, at least during the daylight hours.
When the sun goes down, however, everything gets better: the temperature drops, the restaurants open, and I can make up for all the eating I didn't get to do during the day. Fresh flatbreads right off the griddle, rich hummus studded with grilled meat and roasted pine nuts, honey-soaked almond cakes, gritty black coffee perfumed with cardamom.
I've also had the opportunity, after dark or hiding in the back corner of half-open ice cream shops, to taste some great ice creams. One flavor that was particularly delicious was a halvah ice cream, made with the region's signature sesame paste. Sweet and creamy with a nutty base note that pairs perfectly with the mixed-in almonds, cashews, and pistachios. I've attempted to recreate the recipe here.

PAUL Benson is wanted on loan by Crawley Town at the conclusion of his time with Portsmouth, the Advertiser understands.
The striker, who has fallen out of favour at the County Ground despite scoring 15 goals in 39 appearances for Swindon Town after arriving from Charlton a year ago, is believed to a target of the Red Devils as they aim for a League One play-off place.
Benson's current loan spell at Pompey expires next week and it is understood that a deal to take the forward to the Broadfield Stadium has already been mooted.
Crawley boss Richie Barker has denied the suggestion he is looking at the 33-year-old. Cheltenham are also understood to be keen on Benson.
One player who is unlikely to be leaving this month, however, is defender Aden Flint.
The Adver has learnt that Plymouth are the latest side to show an interest in prising the imposing centre-back from Swindon but all approaches for the 23-year-old, who is out of contract at the end of the season, are believed to have been rebuffed by Town. Port Vale and Bradford had previously enquired about the former Alfreton Town captain.

I am a novice programmer. The point is that I created a whole website with a php extension, because I had read a few sources that if you want to create a website with php, you need all your pages to do with a php extension, but I have a page as Registration, enter personal Cabinet, shopping cart, these pages I have also a php extension, although if I understand it correctly, pages: Registration, enter personal Cabinet - a must-have extensions to html. Even if I understand correctly, then change the file extension, for example with php to html in normal Notepad Windows7, as people say, a file with the changed file extension may not work: what will turn on the system whether DOS, or some other (don't remember) which will bring failure. But the sort of know that if you change the extension of the file in Notepad++, then everything will be fine: I think in Notepad++, there's a feature that allows you to change the file extension (without causing harm to file with the changed file extension). I still create all your pages using a standard Notepad windows7.Do I need to change the extension of the pages of the site Registration, enter personal Cabinet, a Basket of the buyer on the html? Excuse me please if I do not understand something. I am only learning.
Tell me, please, whether you want to switch to Notepad++? It really so good?
Thanks in advance.
If I understand correctly, you want to show some .php files as .html files?
If so, take a look at:
Enter something like:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?test.html$ test.php [L]
into your .htaccess file.
If you just change the file extension from PHP to HTML then the server will not know it's a PHP file and won't process it correctly.
I would just leave the php extension, no harm in doing so.Possibly even better if you leave it as php if in a few years you may want to add some php to those files.All of my files are .php whether they contain php or not.
Thank you for your reply!
If I understand correctly, that the expansion of pages Registration, enter personal Cabinet and a Basket of buyers do not need to change the HTML? And tell me , please, what is your opinion of Notepad++.
I use Notepad++ and it is great, lots of useful plugins also.
One advantage of using Notepad++ is that its fast to launch and easy to use, I normally use it when I only wish to modify one or a few lines of code. If I need to write one or several class files Id actually use Netbeans instead.
Thank you all for your explanations about Notepad++!
But I have a huge request, please explain to me: " you have to change the extension of the files in the web pages: Registration, entering my account and shopping cart with php to html, because I will these names to these pages : Registration, enter personal Cabinet and a Basket of the buyer to write the php file, which will handle.
If you have Apache and access to the httpd.conf file you can have the PHP engine process any file extension type.
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phar .htm .html
If you have windows operating system, I believe its quite easy to change file extension. Simple open it in notepad++, try the menu option 'save as' and set the file type to All, then just save your file as file.php or file.html for whatever format you will be using. I always play this trick when I need to change the extension of my template files from .html to .tpl.
Thank you all for your help!

Baltimore Sun TV Writer On Fox's Anti-Obama Ad: "Any News Organization That Puts Up This Kind Of Video Is Rotten To The Core"
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
Baltimore Sun television writer David Zurawik responded to Fox & Friends' 4-minute anti-Obama attack ad today by stating, "Any news organization that puts up this kind of video is rotten to the core." From Zurawik's post:
Today's version of the morning show featured an anti-Obama video that resembled propaganda films from 1930's Europe more than it did responsible TV politics of today.
And the remarkable thing was the the witless crew on the couch that serves as hosts for this show had the audacity to present it as journalism and congratulate the producer who put it together.
But as the guy who challenged the Obama administration two years when it tried to deny Fox News access to interviews and other opportunities offered to the media on the grounds that Fox was not a legitimate news operation, I have to tell you even I am shocked by how blatantly Fox is throwing off any pretense of being a journalistic entity with videos like this. Don't be fooled by Bret Baier's Boy Scout smile or all the talk about how some shows are news and some are opinion on the channel. Any news organization that puts up this kind of video is rotten to the core.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/10/2012 (1764 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Chad SIMPSON understands what it's like to have something suddenly snatched away from him. He doesn't like it, not one bit. But he understands it and knows how to use that anger-slash-disappointment as motivational fuel.
"I lost my father when I was 10 and the first thing I did when he died, I went and played football because it helped ease the pain," said the Winnipeg Blue Bomber tailback on Tuesday. "For me, football always helps ease the pain of anything. If I had a bad day at school I could go to practice and run out my frustration.
"Football is my job, but it's also a part of me. Period. When people say my name in Miami (his hometown) they say, 'Chad, the football player.' It's not to say I couldn't do something else, but this is an important part of me. This game has helped me a lot."
And so, if you want to know what has driven the 27-year-old Floridian to rush for 1,003 yards this season in just 13 games and why he grinds for every inch of every carry like it might be his last, this is the starting point. It's also why he is so quick to praise his offensive line after a solid day's work and why he was so outspoken on those occasions when the Bombers were absolutely spanked this season.
And it's why there have been some significant signposts for Simpson during the course of the year, from signing with the club in January, to earning the starting tailback job in the summer to eclipsing the 1-K mark in last week's win over the Toronto Argonauts. You see, Simpson had it all over the course of a few seasons -- cracking the Indianapolis Colts roster as an undrafted free agent and playing in 25 games over two years before landing with the Washington Redskins in 2010.
And then, POOF!, it was all gone.
Enter the Bombers...
"When I first got here, all I was thinking about was making a mark," Simpson said. "I thought this might be my last chance in football. I wanted to come here and help this good team that went to the Grey Cup. I just wanted to add to what they had and be seen as a great back.
"I was sitting for a year just watching football. That hurt me to my heart, not being out there playing. I had been playing since I was seven and so when you have something you've been doing your whole life taken away from you, it's a big adjustment. You miss it like crazy.
"So when you get it back... when we were losing those bad games and I was away from my family, I had those pictures in my head again of when I wasn't playing football. I got upset. I got emotional."
Simpson has a six-year-old daughter, Chastity, who lives in Miami with her mother.
He reaches out to her via Skype every other night, but admits being a stranger in a strange land keeping his dream alive means he is missing out on some critical moments in her life.
"I want to be there and help her learn things and help her grow up," said Simpson. "She's in gymnastics now and I heard she's getting a little toned and that she's very competitive. It's hard being away.
"This year, it's had its ups and downs as far as the football goes. But I love my teammates and the people here in Winnipeg. They've helped me go through a season like this where I've been away from my family."

Was Tom Cruise Totally Blindsided by His Divorce from Katie Holmes?
In a new sound byte from Tom Cruise, the actor reveals that he didn't see his divorce from Katie Holmes coming. But is the quote real, or made up?
-Lucia Peters
When relationships end, sometimes it's obvious to both parties involved that it's something that needs to happen. Sometimes, however, it's not—and it appears that in the case of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Tom had absolutely no idea that it was coming.
In a quote currently making the Internet rounds, Tom supposedly opens up about the divorce in an interview geared towards promoting his new film, Oblivion. He allegedly says, "I did not expect that. [I've had] an incredible amount of time to reflect. Life is a challenge. To be 50 and have experiences and think you have everything under control, and then it hits you—that's what life is… Life is tragicomic. You need a certain sense of humor."
Makes a certain amount of sense, no? To be fair, at the time, it did seem that Katie had very quietly been laying the groundwork for the divorce—so quietly that although most of us always felt there was something a little bizarre about the relationship, it still came as something of a surprise. As such, it probably took Tom by surprise as well.
There seems to be some dispute about where this sound byte came from—or, in fact, whether it's real at all. Although People originally reported that the quote emerged from an interview Tom gave with German TV network ProSieben, a rep for Tom is now maintaining that the quotes were either taken out of context or fabricated—and furthermore, that the interviewer, Steven Gaetjen, says that he didn't ask Tom about Katie or the divorce. According to the Hollywood Reporter, however, the quote appears in a German TV entertainment magazine called Taff. So which is it? True? Not true? Television interview? Magazine interview? Mystery! Intrigue! Drama!
Read 25 Things About Olga Kurylenko
In the event that there IS some truth to the words, THR points out that it's interesting Tom decided to open up about his personal life in Germany—"a country where Scientology is often viewed with great suspicion." Not that it's not viewed with great suspicion in the US, but when you think of the show biz side of Scientology's major players, not too many of them—if any—are German. Tom is, however, both a prominent spokesman for Scientology and a huge star in Germany; his image over there was helped along by 2008's Valkyrie, in which Tom played Claus von Stauffenberg, who attempted to assassinate Adolf Hitler in 1944. Putting two and two together, it's possible that his choosing that particular location to open up might partially be a gambit to sway views of Scientology towards the positive.
I do also think it's worth noting that since the split, Tom has been spotted spending time with Suri way more than he had been before. Katie is still Suri's primary caregiver, which makes sense given that she's ALWAYS been Suri's primary caregiver; but it's good that he's still making an effort to be in her life—and, in fact, that he might actually be in her life MORE now than he was before the divorce. All speculation on my part based on Paparazzi shots, of course, but food for thought all the same.
Tell us: Do you think there's any veracity to this little tidbit?

You may think the big commercial banks got away with it after the great financial crash. But what about the Bank of England? Britain's central bank was asleep at the wheel when the storm hit in 2007. Mark Carney's radical shake-up of personnel and responsibilities in Threadneedle Street is an uncomfortable reminder that failure is sometimes richly rewarded.
The blame does not lie with the present governor. Mr Carney was drafted in from Canada last year to replace the departing Mervyn King. The cutbacks in banking supervision that preceded the crash came on the now Lord King's watch. A reorganisation that leaves Mr Carney with a total of five deputies, however, is a reminder of just how much additional power has accrued to the Bank during the past few years. When the BoE was first granted independence during the late 1990s, the then governor happily settled for two deputies. Read more

As the month draws to a close, the old "sell in May" strategy failed miserably for equity investors – except in Japan and emerging markets.
There are a couple of lessons from this May, but first here's what the major assets did during May, first in local currency then in dollar terms:
Since the US is still open, both charts are up to the close of the 30th, for consistency, so not quite the full month; European markets today were down about 1 per cent, and Japan up just over 1 per cent, but the broad patterns remain the same. Read more

Quick Fact: Fox & Friends still pushing Obama's "ties" to ACORN
Research ››› ››› DIANNA PARKER
On Fox & Friends, The Wall Street Journal's John Fund exaggerated the White House's "ties" to ACORN by claiming that President Obama was a "top trainer for ACORN" and that he was "their lawyer back in the 1990s." In fact, Obama represented ACORN in one lawsuit -- alongside the Justice Department and several other organizations -- and reportedly said he participated in two one-hour trainings with ACORN as a volunteer.
Fund claimed Obama was "a top trainer for ACORN" and ACORN's "lawyer back in the 1990s"
From the January 4 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:
BRIAN KILMEADE (co-host): In terms of what kind of ramifications could be coming its way -- could it go all the way to the White House because of the fact the president --
FUND: Well, just remember, President Obama was not only a top trainer for ACORN, he was their lawyer back in the 1990s. His campaign transferred $835,000 and apparently tried -- to ACORN during the 2008 campaign and apparently tried to conceal it. So there are lots of ties. Now, the White House, of course, doesn't want anything to do with ACORN right now. But what I think we're going to find is that ACORN was a giant attempt to evade tax laws and basically use nonprofit status and tax-exempt status while at the same time having other front groups do blatantly political work.
FACT: Obama was not ACORN's "top lawyer"
Obama was a counsel to ACORN alongside the Justice Department in one lawsuit. As an attorney in private practice, Obama represented ACORN in a 1995 lawsuit against the state of Illinois in which ACORN sought to force the state to implement the National Voter Law of 1993, the federal "motor voter" registration law. The June 5, 1995, decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit in the case, Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), et al., v. [then-Illinois Gov.] James R. Edgar, affirmed the lower court's finding for the plaintiff-appellees including ACORN, the United States of America, the League of Women Voters of Illinois, and the League of United Latin American Citizens. The decision identifies Obama as counsel representing ACORN.
FACT: Obama reportedly said he participated in two trainings as a volunteer
FactCheck.org: Obama campaign said he participated in two one-hour sessions as a volunteer. According to an October 18, 2008, FactCheck.org report, "An article by Chicago alderman Toni Foulkes says that 'we [ACORN] have invited Obama to our leadership training sessions to run the session on power every year' between 1992 and 2004, when the article was written. The Obama campaign says that Obama participated in two, one-hour trainings in a volunteer capacity. Foulkes could not be reached for comment."
