Now that you have a website, it's time to generate some traffic. Advertising can be expensive. These banners you see on the sites often cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars. However, there is another way to drive visitors to your new site: lists of keywords. Lists of keywords are words and phrases, especially designed to capture the attention of the search engine, so that when someone does a search on your product, your website will appear. However, your product is not the only thing that should be included. Your affiliate sites, similar products and any other relevant words and terms must all be listed. Once you have decided on your keyword list, where are you going to put it? In the meta-tags of your site, of course. If all this seems confusing, don't worry. We'll explain what everything is, and where it should go.
Keyword lists are collections of words and phrases that are relevant to their products. The keywords first to include are those most closely associated with their merchandise. For example, if your product is "Harry" SOAP SOAP, then the first words you put are "SOAP, SOAP of harrys, clean, harry, skin, smooth skin".
A refinement of your keywords is to include words and phrases for affiliate products, your product and similar products. For example, "shampoo, bath, shower, scrub, wash". If you have another subsidiary of the company, says, "Sally from natural body care", then include them too.
Now, just because you've covered all these bases does not mean that you have relevant keywords all included. Any combination of these words can drive your number of visitors. Combine titles of company, products, memberships and so on. Keywords for example might include, "sally, harry, sallys, harrys body SOAP, shampoo from sally, harry natural shampoo" this list can go on and on, but for the sake of brevity, I will wait until list appears finished.
After you create a list of keywords, insert any other relevant phrases that you may have missed. Be thorough and thoughtful. Your lists of keywords over may seem similar to this:
"harrys SOAP SOAP, SOAP, SOAP, clean harry harrys, shampoo, bath, bath accessories, bathroom clean, smells good, natural body care sallys, sally, sally natural care, sally's body, skin, smooth skin, sallys natural body SOAP, shampoo from sally"
If you look at your list finished, and thinking "I'm going to put the same phrases there twice … maybe more," don't do this. Search engines have become advisable to practice what is called "keyword stuffing". That's when you add the same keyword over and over again, in the hope that your site will appear to the top of the list with this Gambit.
By creating keyword lists, don't plagiarize. You can include the product name of his rival, while you do not represent their merchandise as being that of your competitor. Go to keyword lists again, while you're dry keyword. Combine similar words or obvious, products and affiliates. If done carefully your site must gain significant traffic, just from careful lists of keyword.

Get newest film show time, upcoming films, ticket price and contact details of distinct cinema halls of Nepal. But there are undoubtedly sufficient other Christmas movies becoming created for other channels that we cannot automatically assume that one thing is Hallmark just from a title, or from one particular lone actor. Be certain to bookmark it and to come back and see what new films we have added to the list. It really is a maturing procedure that requires many years of watching films and studying movie tropes. ROKU is a tiny device which you connect to your tv to view an assortment of films in the comfort of your residence.
ALL 30 of the Christmas motion pictures for Hallmark's and HMM's 2016 slates will have been filmed by that time, or will be just about to wrap up filming soon following. When I pointed out your intolerance toward atheism, I was carrying out so with a hugely watered-down version of intolerance" — in direct response to your equally watered-down version of religious intolerance" that you're claiming atheists' exhibit by creating films that make enjoyable of religions. As you know, there were titles that were officially announced as Countdown to Christmas 2016 films by Hallmark (more than after)… but they never materialized for the duration of the holidays!
There are some excellent movies right here which I watched and I must say I learned anything new. Cool movies but you forgot Leviathan and Deep Star Six (maybe on goal but it wasn't that undesirable lol!) two a lot more futuristic ones from the late 80s. I rarely watch a film twice since there are so a lot of other motion pictures available that I have not observed. If you are so incapable of concentrating on a movie that is up on an enormous screen that a little cell telephone light 8 rows beneath you is disturbing, then possibly you do require to watch films at residence in a sensory deprivation tank.
We don't know if Lifetime is going to premiere a single new Christmas film or 8 new Christmas motion pictures this year, but whichever way they go, that adds even more mystery to the entire Christmas movie predicament. Godfrey, a smart old member of a knightly order, trains Orlando Bloom in – you guessed it! Unpretentious and really tongue in cheek, Dog Soldiers is a tiny gem of a movie which very comfortably deserves a place on anyone's list of all time horror films. Of the leading 50 box office grossing films of all time (2nd July 2014), 5 of these motion pictures were created by Sony.
Possibly one of the most popular films about soulmates of all time, this story within a story functions Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams as young lovers who meet for a summer of passion but are then driven apart by the realities of their social stations. It is via fantastic films and sensible decisions that have led Universal Studios to grow to be …

Layers Of Color Gift Set
Hello everyone! Today I'm happy to share a Layers of Color gift set I made! I used the Victorian Frame Cling art stamp to create my frame for my card and a matching handle for my little purse gift card/ gift holder. The image itself is colored with Copics and cut out right along the outside of the stamped line. I have matted it on the card with Soft Suede card stock cut with Spellbinder's Label Fourteen, which the stamp was custom designed for. My basic card stock is Papertrey Aqua Mist, run through the Cuttlebug with the Cassie's Brocade folder, then sponged with TH Distress Ink.
To make the purse I cut and colored two of the Victorian Frames and cut them out, folded them in half with finished sides out and adhered together. This way both the front and back of each handle is finished off. I cut two Spellbinders Label twelve, ran through the Bug with Cassies Brocade and embossed the same as the card. I cut a strip of aqua card stock 1.5" wide by 7 3/8" long, scoring along the long edge at 1/2" and 1". Across the short side I scored at 2 1/4" in from each end, snipped in to the long score line and folded. I adhered the folded edges to the front and back of my labels twelve with tacky tape. I cut a Spellbinders Label Label Ten and cut 1.5" off from the longest point on both ends, embossed and sponged. I adhered my handles to the outside of my purse with just enough overlap to hold, then adhered the 1.5" cuts of the label ten to serve as a flap on the purse front and back, and that covers the edges of the handles. I added a Prima embellishment and Papertrey Aqua Mist ribbon.
The card is very straight forward, using the same materials listed above. The sentiment is from a Verve set "Feeling Groovy". I cut off the frame with a straight edge just for interest. I spritzed everything with Glimmer Mist in gold when finished.
I hope you enjoyed this little project and that you might try one yourself! It was a lot of fun coming up with my own design that I thought was a unique way to use the victorian frame. If you make one please link me and let me know so I can come see yours!!!

Cute purse! You know how some women collect shoes? Well, my mother used to call me the bag lady cause I had so many purses!
By the way, when I get nervous, I have hoof in mouth disease and have been nailed so many times by the things I've said without thinking it through before I said it. That's why I was cut to the quick because that's been me. I try to be careful now in what I say, but sometimes things come across that somebody takes wrong and I didn't mean it that way. I just hope that you and others understood that when I commented under your devotion. I felt like God want me to do it as an act of kindness.
Well, I didn't mean to write my life's story here. Thank you for leaving me a sweet message on my blog. Blessings and have a great Memorial weekend!

Republicans wanted a sledgehammer, and that's essentially what they got. Trump's victory has perpetuated more paranoia in America's establishment intelligentsia than any president in modern history. As Trump successfully tapped into right-wing media anger, the peevish press corps seemingly lost their integral judgements in their crusade against Trump.
"The madness was everywhere, at every hour. You could strike sparks anywhere."
In the spirit of the old and youthful American left alike, to rewrite the quotable Hunter S. Thompson, there was a universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, but that we were losing. . . . And that, I think, was the handle. That sense of inevitable loss to the forces of Old and Evil – in a mean or military sense; we did need that now.
Now, if you walk to the Northwestern quadrant of downtown D.C. and take a look at The Post's salient premises, "with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the [institutional progressive] wave finally broke and rolled back."
With Amerca's newest Sith Lord, replacing the charismatic favorite, we see a Return of the Jedi Press of the latter days of W.
Amid what we learn is a "chaotic" transition team "in disarray", Trump's appointment of Steve Bannon as Chief Strategist has really awakened the Force in Democratic journalists so busy publishing articles this election cycle that they totally missed the Big Event.
Now, as one of few cabinet announcements to date, the ex-chairman of independent right media Breitbat.com is a suitable target for the current flood of racist and anti-Semitic accusations.
Bannon, too, declared war on the American left years ago. The current noise suggests that his enemies conceivably feel less complacent and probably more exposed.
The strong eagerness to pin Trump's populist America First rhetoric as anti-Semitic has been prevalent from the Zionist and neo-conservative right to the anti-fascist and institutional left. Bannon has captured the starring role as the newest poster-boy for progressive media to educate the masses of Tump's secret Hitlerism.
On the Dark List, all is fair game. Hence all of the articles on Bannon's vile anti-semitism is directly copy-pasted from Media Matter's talking point (seriously).
In the spirit of madness, reactionary cynics like myself remember the good Old Days when credible news sources rightly ridiculed conservative pundits' hysteria over Obama's supposedly radical appointees on the basis of anecdotal claims and associative guilt.
Because of Breitbart's anti-immigration hard-right stirring, current media didn't need to bother with such integral journalistic precedents as, say, reaching out to Bannon's many public Jewish friends, for example senior-editor of Breitbart.com (or his closest assistant for many years – an African-American woman – for that matter), to balance their narrative.
Since we're supposedly talking about credible news sources – which now vehemently grudge the amount of fake right wing news stories "swinging the election to Trump" – it's worth pointing out the obvious: This is not poor journalism, this is deliberate hit-pieces.
Being somewhat of a Lord of the Pigs himself, Bannon is probably not America's nicest gentleman. Yet there's zero evidence he's an anti-Semite. This prevailing labeling is based on a single unsubstantiated claim from his ex-wife saying that Bannon wouldn't let his children attend a private school with majority Jewish pupils, allegedly because they were spoiled.
Yet can you believe, the anecdotal proof goes even further. This anti-Jewish dark web published two articles supporting these anti-Semitic claims under Bannon's leadership.
A Breitbart piece with "Renegade Jew" in the headline was surely proof of Bannon's anti-semitism. The minor detail that CNN, ABC, and WPost conveniently omitted is that the piece was written by religious Jew David Horowitz, as a zionist attack against Bill Kristol for implicitly supporting Hillary, which Horowitz deemed bad for Israel.
We could similarly read about Breitbart's "conspiratorial attacks on Anne Applebaum for secretly plotting with the Jewish elite". Again without mentioning that the freely written pun – "Hell Hath No Fury Like an American, Polish, Jewish, Elitist scorned" – also was written by an Orthodox Jew in a particular context against Applebaum's internationalism.
If the Might of a collective press-corps deemed a record-man a racist for employing artists espousing the N-word, surely there would be of relevant information if these were black rappers?
Why, does any good citizens really care that there's lacking evidence of Bannon's anti-semitism as long as there's anecdotal claims and that it sticks. It's all for the good cause right? But the reason such information is omitted is that it undermines the American left's insistence that the right promotes repressive interests and not political ideology.
For the cultural left political ideology has become inseparable from institutional racism. Bannon is after all ex-chairman of the biggest news site for the so-called "alternative right", which gained notoriety when Clinton in a major "alt-right" speech warned that this angry young white "radical fringe" was channelized behind president Trump's candidacy.
Her speech was cautioned by establishment commentators for giving attention and a voice to the "alt-right". But the Clinton camp knew what they were doing; as good progressives of the Alinsky manual they got ahead of the game.
Invoking this alt-right connection symbolizes an update of the left's New-Oldspeak – Hiterlism 2.0 – which has been the foremost progressive strategy against Trump.
Hence well before CNN and Wpost's daily headlines of every rural barn with a swastika and reports on every unsubstantiated racial Twitter-claim in "Trump's New America", the link between the president-elect's nationalist platform and the mass unleashing of crypto fascist forces had already been propagated. Now, the discussion is shut down and the moral consensus is settled by deeming a person to be a part of the "alt-right", a buzz-word just as meaningless but more catchy than the tired extreme right.
The political advancement of Collective Guilt as the secular version of Original Sin signifies America's drift to a period more anti-intellectual than pre-Reformation Europe. One in which amateur and professional ideologues are more preoccupied with determining the rules and monopolizing the boundaries of discussions than actually advancing productive discussions. And the infantile President-elect is America's shining mirror.
With the refusal to freely and civilly discuss controversial issues, respectable politics have opened the door ajar to nationalist movements, just as "impartial" media double standards have contributed to the post-factual political discourse they worry about.
The rising mass hysteria was triggered from that nervous election night, but the sun rises each morning too. Radical leftists are still chanting "this is what democracy looks like" in America's city streets echoing the Seattle spring of 99 from the strange memories of the movement's own anti-globalization days. This time around it seems like the irredeemable faith in the High Water Mark of mass popular democracy has somehow, somewhere disappeared along the way. The wave seems broken. And a cynic like myself has learned to appreciate the few personal victories one can get – for the causes of Old and Evil.

SCIENTIFIC NAME(s)
Doryteuthis (amerigo) gahi
SPECIES NAME(s)
Patagonian squid
Several authors found that a single stock of Patagonian squid exists around Falkland Islands and that there are no genetic differences between spawning cohorts (e.g. Carvalho and Pitcher, 1989; Vega et al., 2001; Shaw et al., 2004). However there are two fishing seasons related with two spawning cohorts – autumn-spawning cohort (ASC) and the spring-spawning cohort – that are subject to different oceanographic conditions, show distinct dynamics, are assessed and managed separately (Arkhipkin et al., 2007; FIG, 2013) and were thus here considered. Both national and international fleets operate within the Falkland Interim Conservation and Management Zone (FICZ) and Falkland Islands Outer Conservation Zone (FOCZ) and the existence of a distinc stock out of FICZ is referred by Casey et al. (2013) but further research is needed. Besides, Arkhipkin et al. (2007) consider that the life cycle of Patagonian squid is completed within FICZ. The map below regards an approximate distribution of both spawning stocks on the eastern-southern area of Falkland Islands.
Image: FSv2
Within FishSource, the term "fishery" is used to indicate each unique combination of a flag country with a fishing gear, operating within a particular management unit, upon a resource. That resource may have a known biological stock structure and/or may be assessed at another level for practical or jurisdictional reasons. A fishery is the finest scale of resolution captured in FishSource profiles, as it is generally the scale at which sustainability can most fairly and practically be evaluated.

While overall U.S. car sales appear to have jumped again in July, it wasn't a good month for two of the Big Three Detroit makers. Japan's top two manufacturers, on the other hand, saw the price paid by the typical buyer surge to record levels.
NBCnews.com reported that industry analysts will be watching closely in the weeks to come to see if the market can maintain the momentum it had shown during the first half of the year.
The weakest numbers came from General Motors and Ford, both of which reported sales dropped during July – though domestic rival Chrysler posted a 13% sales increase compared with the same month a year ago.
GM reported its sales dropped 6% as it cut back on sales to rental fleets. Ford posted a 4% decline, largely due to reduced sales to fleet customers. Both automakers have signaled their decision to reduce those low-profit sales practices but the impact has been significant.
With some automakers still waiting to report, market share numbers for July aren't yet available. But for the first six months of 2012, GM's share slid to 18.1% compared to 19.9% during the same period a year earlier. Ford's share, meanwhile, dropped from 16.9% to just 15.7%.
Among the first of the Japanese automakers to report for July, Nissan posted a 16.3% increase in sales for July, while Volkswagen posted a 27% sales increase.
A significant factor in the market has been a steady decline in incentives. At the same time, Average Transaction Prices – ATP, or the price the typical customer pays – has been rising. Toyota and Honda both set records last month, reported TrueCar.com, an authority on car pricing, trends and forecasts.
TrueCar estimated the average transaction price for light vehicles in the United States was $30,369 in July 2012, up $487 (1.6%) from July 2011 and down $139 (0.5%) from June 2012.
"Even though automakers may give the impression that they are ramping up incentives spending, the very low cost of funds and historically high resale values are in fact enabling them to create a ton of noise with fewer actual dollars spent," said Jesse Toprak, vice president of market intelligence for TrueCar.com. "Manufacturers are increasingly moving away from cash incentives and pushing finance and lease programs."

It's similar like my grill, but not the same. This is another dish that we usually can find on the Hungarian events.
Skewer some brest of chikens, onions, muschroom, sirolin and bacon and roast on the spit!
Anyway I took this photo on the "Summer on the Chain Bridge" event in Budapest.

The benefit of hindsight is a wonderful thing. If only you'd known how wretched that last tequila shot was going to leave your head the next day, you'd never have necked it, would you? Yes, probably you would.
The perverse inability of we humans to learn from our mistakes is what beats at the black heart of A Young Doctor's Notebook (Sky Arts 1), in which we get a double dose of the same character, the young version played by Daniel Radcliffe, his older, wiser and world-wearier self played by Jon Hamm. As a dramatic device, it works a treat.
Based on short stories by Mikhail Bulgakov, A Young Doctor's Notebook whisks us back to blizzard-swept early 20th-century Russia. In 1917, his homeland on the cusp of revolution, boyish Radcliffe is a freshly qualified medic, despatched to the back of beyond to take charge of a country hospital. In 1934, grizzled Hamm is stuck in a Moscow surgery, under investigation by sinister troops.
That's the starting point but the two halves of the story soon lock horns, the older Doctor appearing as a mentor to his younger self, telling him to 'stop talking' when he's babbling nervously to cover his inexperience. But as a fairy godfather, the older Doctor has a wobbly hand on the wand, his sense of reality dangerously blurred…
There's often a temptation to overplay this kind of dark material. But A Young Doctor's Notebook catches the mix of farce and pathos just right, Radcliffe and Hamm proving a double act to treasure, with timing and charm to spare.
Best of all, it's laugh-out-loud funny. Attempting a conversation about geography while dealing with a tricky birth proved a stretch for the young Doctor. 'I'm new to the area. I don't know where anything is.' Not what an expectant mother wants to hear with her legs wide open.

For some, help is a four letter word ... a word they feel carries a negative connotation of weakness or inferiority. Others understand that help is a two-way street ... the more you ask for help, the more you are able and willing to give it when needed. Help is a gift which some are naturally born with, and others, like me, have to learn along the way.
I was taken a bit by surprise when I received a phone call asking for help from another military spouse.
While we get along well and have circles that overlap every now and then, we aren't close. What resonated with me was that she was calling about a very personal issue and opened up with a vulnerability that was touching and made me feel, well, made me feel as if we were close. Even though we truthfully do not know much about each other at all, she knew she needed help and was not afraid to seek it. This is not her first time at the rodeo. While I may have helped her that day, she also taught me a valuable lesson in how anyone can give assistance if only asked.
The word "help" once had a bitter taste to me. I didn't need help…I was g-u-d, good. Husband deployed? Two kids under the age of five? A Houdini dog that escaped kennels? Preparing the house for sale and a PCS? General day-to-day chaos mixed in with prior long-term commitments? What could go wrong?
During that time, we were not on a base, and like many Air Force servicemembers, he deployed alone. So I didn't know ANYONE who had a spouse gone besides myself. I had a difficult time asking for outside help because I had no guidelines for if I was failing or if I was normal.
A family who had no obligation to mine or tie to the military, and who I only knew because our children shared classes, stepped up and gave me unsolicited help. It all began with after school play dates, then rides to and from practices, and finally escalated with phone calls telling me she would pick my kids up, feed them dinner, and she didn't want to see me until after dinner time when we would then eat together while the kids continued to play. And while I mumbled and grumbled about how she would hijack my family, I was always grateful for her generosity.
She taught me how to accept help. She gave me a gift.
It took a family who didn't need to be kind practically shoving their desire to help down my throat for me to learn that it is A-OK to need other people. That allowing others to help actually makes you stronger, not appear pitiful. That no one will think less of me for accepting kindness. That the world didn't fall apart because I couldn't be everything to everyone, all on my own.
That help is not a four letter word to be avoided but should be used openly, and without reservation or judgment.
By learning to accept help, you also learn how to give it. All of us continue to learn each day by hearing or reading military spouse stories, by witnessing how to be human through those strong enough to reach out for help, or in those who know how to graciously administer it. On our own, we are not the tower of strength we fool ourselves into believing we are being. We are simply on our own.
When have you given or received this gift of friendly military family help?

Porn: the wrecking ball of authentic intimate relationships
Came across this piece in the New York Magazine on the impact of pornography on male sexuality.
It's rare to see a man talk so honestly about how frequent on-line porn use impacts real world relationships. While of course the author appears to be writing from a purely selfish perspective: this is how porn screws with my sexual relationships and why I gave it up for four days – rather than a realisation of its mass industrialised dehumanisation of women – at least it may give other men cause to examine their own compulsive habits. And, hopefully, for women to seek men who want something more than porn sex.
David Rothbart relays how porn re-shaped the desires of a number of men – men who previously had happy, loving relationships with their partners. Here's what some of them told him.
Perry, 41, lawyer:
"I used to race home to have sex with my wife… Now I leave work a half-hour early so I can get home before she does and masturbate to porn…Not to be mean, but they're younger, hotter, and wilder in the sack than my wife…Me and her, we still 'do it' and everything, but instead of every day, it's maybe once a week. It's like I've got this 'other woman' … and the 'other woman' is porn."
Stefan, 43-year, composer:
"I've got to resort to playing scenes in my head that I've seen while viewing porn. Something is lost there. I'm no longer with my wife; I'm inside my own head."
Ron, 27, architecture student:
"I guess I've been fading from her. It's like all that time with these porn stars was subduing any physical desire for my girlfriend. And, in some weird way, my emotional need for her, too."
And here's what one woman had to say.
Sadie, 29 real-estate agent:
"There is no glory in trying to make love to men who only know how to f**k—man after man after man after man raised on porn…A lot of guys have come to expect P.S.E. [the 'Porn-Star Experience'] as a common thing… A few [women] might enjoy it, but for most it's harrowing. I think there's a fear that if they can't make it happen, their boyfriend will retreat online."
Porn's socialising effect on boys: girls pressured to provide naked images
In a piece titled 'They Know What Boys Wants' by Alex Morris, the New York Magazine also gave us an inside look at how porn is shaping the attitudes of boys towards the girls in their lives. Rarely is there the slow-burn of a relationship developing: girls are treated as living sexual performances from younger and younger ages. Porn conditions boys to becoming sexually demanding. Girls have to pay for relationships with sexual tokens. In an account relayed to me last year, a schoolgirl was told by a boy: "If you give me [oral sex] I'll give you a kiss."
This extract from the New York Magazine piece:
"I wouldn't mind if they said, 'Send me a picture of you,' just a regular picture, with everything on," says Samantha…"But it's like the way they ask for it? Naked?"
Tricey nods. "It affects them, the Internet. The guys expect to just chat girls up online, but when y'all see each other and y'all go out or whatever, the only thing that they want to do is get in the bed."
Star, who's 14, rolls her eyes. "Yeah, that's the only thing they talk about."
"I think they're pressured by the Internet," says Tricey. "When you see some of those things, you actually get a negative mind."
Samantha frowns. "They see a pretty girl on the computer, big boobs or whatever, so they'll be like, 'Okay, I want a girl like that.' "

Kanye West petition update
Well wasn't that fun. After being attacked and ridiculed in The Punch on Wednesday, I woke yesterday morning to find 2000 additional signatures on our Care2 petition protesting Kanye West's horror porn music video Monster. Another 3000 were added during the day, which meant we had surpassed our goal of 10,000. There are now 13,500 signatures.
There is still time to sign if you haven't already! You can do so here.
Buddy Franklin and Nena&Pasadena and their porn inspired tees update
The AFL has had nothing to say to my question asking how Hawks star Lance 'Buddy' Franklin's porn-inspired t.shirts fit in with the League's 'Respect and Responsibility policy. See my piece from ABC The Drum Unleashed here . Hello AFL, we're waiting! Or don't you think it matters that your players are flogging t.shirts which reduce women to sex objects?
Dull, derivative, repetitive
While we're waiting for a response from the AFL, you must read this from a fashion industry insider, posted in comments to my ABC piece:
Fashion Merchandise Planner, 16 Feb 2011 9:07:28pm
You are seriously deluded if you think what you produce is fashion. Having worked in the industry for over 20 years for some of Australia's leading retailers and fashion houses (both high end and mass market) I can tell you that what you produce is barely a blip on the Australian fashion scene and you wouldn't rate a mention anywhere it counts… 'edgy' give me a break… bogan streetwear more like it. Maybe a Design Degree would give your 'designers' a richer troff to plunder from. The t-shirts are dull, derivative, repetitive and would do well in the markets. I don't normally get personal but to sell your two bit company as an Australian success story is really stretching it. You produce unimaginative dull T-shirts for 20 somethings who think that a naked woman on a T-shirt is an artistic statement.
I am neither a Christian nor a prude just a highly successful and respected retail professional who has seen people like you come and go in droves. Believe your own marketing spin at your peril.
Lets have this conversation in two years time… or will you like the hundreds of other 'talented designers' crying into your beer and complaining that no one understands how you suffer for your art.
You produce unimaginative cheap T-shirts lets just call it what it is. You know sex sells and you are too dull to come up with anything better that tits and arse… congratulations you just discovered sex… like no one has ever done that before…

Israel reacted to a recent United Nations Security Council resolution condemning settlements in Palestinian-claimed territory by curtailing relations Tuesday with 10 countries that voted for it, NBC News reported.
The resolution called the settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem a "flagrant violation" of international law, but plans for thousands of new homes were nevertheless advanced by Israel.
Israel is limiting work contacts with Britain, France, Russia, China, Japan, Ukraine, Angola, Egypt, Uruguay and Spain, according to Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon.
The United States wasn't included on the list, despite breaking with past practice to allow the Security Council vote, a move that prompted Israel's leader to lash out at the White House. The U.S. abstained from the vote, but has veto power on the council.

WASHINGTON — Adm. William J. Fallon, the top American commander in the Middle East whose views on Iran and other issues have seemed to put him at odds with the Bush administration, is retiring early, the Pentagon said Tuesday afternoon.
The retirement of Admiral Fallon, 63, who only a year ago became the first Navy man to be named the commander of the United States Central Command, was announced by his civilian boss, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, who said that he accepted the admiral's request to retire "with reluctance and regret."
President Bush said Admiral Fallon had served his country with "honor, determination and commitment" and deserved "considerable credit" for the progress in Afghanistan and Iraq.
But despite the warm words from Mr. Bush and Mr. Gates, there was no question that the admiral's premature departure stemmed from a public appearance of policy differences with the administration, and with Gen. David H. Petraeus, the American commander in Iraq.
Mr. Gates acknowledged as much when he said that Admiral Fallon, in asking permission on Tuesday morning to retire, had expressed concerns that the controversy over his views were becoming "a distraction." But the secretary labeled as "ridiculous" any speculation that the admiral's retirement portends a more bellicose American approach toward Iran.Continue reading the main story
Admiral Fallon had rankled senior officials of the Bush administration with outspoken comments on such issues as dealing with Iran and on setting the pace of troop reductions from Iraq — even though his comments were well within the range of views expressed by Mr. Gates.
Officials said the last straw, however, came in an article in Esquire magazine by Thomas P. M. Barnett, a respected military analyst, that profiled Admiral Fallon under the headline, "The Man Between War and Peace." The article highlighted comments Admiral Fallon made to the Arab television station Al Jazeera last fall, in which he said that a "constant drumbeat of conflict" from Washington that was directed at Iran and Iraq was "not helpful and not useful. I expect that there will be no war, and that is what we ought to be working for. We ought to try to do our utmost to create different conditions."
Geoff Morrell, the Pentagon press secretary, was asked at a news briefing on Monday to comment on the controversy. Mr. Morrell said Mr. Gates and the admiral maintained a good working relationship, but that, like all military commanders, Admiral Fallon served at the pleasure of the president.
Mr. Gates said on Tuesday that Army Lt. Gen. Martin Dempsey would take Admiral Fallon's place until a permanent replacement is nominated and confirmed by the Senate.
The Esquire article quotes Admiral Fallon as urging a "combination of strength and willingness to engage."
Readers of the Esquire article who are among the admiral's boosters said they did not believe on reading that piece that Admiral Fallon himself had made comments that could be viewed as insubordinate to the president.
But the cast of the lengthy piece put the admiral at odds with the White House.
"If, in the dying light of the Bush administration, we go to war with Iran, it'll all come down to one man," the article begins. "If we do not go to war with Iran, it'll come down to the same man."
Both Mr. Gates and Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, have maintained an unwavering public line that disagreements with Iran should be resolved diplomatically, and that any military option remained only the last resort.
"I think that the secretary has made clear and I think Admiral Fallon has made clear that the first priority of this administration is to deal with our problems with Iran in a diplomatic fashion," Mr. Morrell said Monday. "That is our first hope. That is our first effort. However, we have all made clear, time and time again, that nothing, no avenue is off the table."
Democrats pounced on the retirement announcement, with Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader, calling it "yet another example that independence and the frank, open airing of experts' views are not welcomes in this administration."
Senator Carl Levin of Michigan, the chairman of the Armed Services Committee, said he was sorry to see the admiral go. "Admiral Fallon is well known for his excellent diplomatic skills in representing the United States overseas," Mr. Levin said. "I can only hope that the decision to retire was his own." And Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, who often differs with the administration on foreign-policy issues, said that "the credibility which Admiral Fallon brought to the issues he was involved in will be sorely missed."
When Admiral Fallon was nominated in January of 2007 to be commander of American military forces across a region where they are engaged in two ground wars, it struck many analysts as odd. When he was confirmed for the post, he replaced Gen. John Abizaid as the top officer of Central Command.
At the time, a range of senior Pentagon civilians and military officers said Mr. Gates had recommended that Admiral Fallon move from his post as commander of American forces in the Pacific to bring a new strategic view — as well as maritime experience — to the Middle East.
The admiral began service through a commission from the Navy's Reserve Officer Training Program, as opposed to the more prestigious Naval Academy. He later graduated from the Naval War College and the National War College, and earned a master's degree in international studies from Old Dominion University.
Although known for being tough on his subordinates, Admiral Fallon also developed a reputation for nuanced diplomatic negotiations with friendly nations — and some with whom the United States has more prickly ties. Earlier in his career, when he was the American military commander in the Pacific, he annoyed conservatives by taking what they considered an overly conciliatory stance toward China.
Senator John McCain of Arizona, the presumptive Republican candidate for president, praised the admiral. "As a fellow Naval aviator, I know the sacrifices he made during his long and distinguished career," the senator said. "Under Admiral Fallon's leadership at Central Command, the situation in Iraq has improved dramatically. All Americans should be grateful for Admiral Fallon's service, and respect his decision to retire. I am confident President Bush will act promptly to select the right person to lead Central Command at this critical juncture."Continue reading the main story

Along with peanuts and tree nuts, shellfish can produce some of the strong anaphylactic reactions that are considered most dangerous to people with food allergies. There are two kinds of shellfish: crustaceans, like shrimp, crab and lobster, and mollusks, like clams, mussels, oysters and scallops. People may be allergic to crustaceans or mollusks or both. Doctors generally recommend consulting a medical professional to help determine tolerance. Further, if you are allergic to shellfish, that doesn't mean you will be allergic to bony fish.

Everything about High Risk Insurance policy
Specific clinical disorders, way of lives, occupations, and sports activities carry a greater threat of injury and disease. Medical insurance companies perform actuarial studies to find the high danger clinical problems, way of livings, professions, and sports tasks that result in loss of revenue.
Regardless of what your scenario, whether you have been founded guilty of a DUI infraction, have a clinical health condition, or are simply strapped for time, there are higher risk insurance policies available that satisfy unique situations. Now insurance companies prepare to compose a policy for you, even if you are in a higher danger classification determined by insurance coverage statisticians.

This drawing instrument is a Kern 'drop' compass which was used to draw a range of features including roundabouts, circuses and gas holders. The parallel pen attachment, seen here, was used for ink work, the line weight being set with the adjustable blades. Unlike a conventional compass, the drawing arm could be lifted off, or lowered onto, the drawing material while the point remained in position. This made it the ideal tool for drawing the small sections of arc necessary to form a roundabout between the joining roads. It also came with a separate graphite lead attachment.

Taking a Query="line" for a Walk (2008)
Taking a Query="line" for a Walk is a software-based animation that renders selected images from Flickr.com which are tagged with the word "line" as a never ending moving "line of lines." A single "line" within each image is determined manually and saved to a database, which custom software uses to align and animate each of the images according to its corresponding determined line. Other than rotation and placement, the images are not manipulated in any way. The animation is projected on a corner to emphasize the illusion of a continuous line.
from Cristobal Mendoza on Vimeo.
Paraphrasing Paul Klee, the piece engages the idea of "line" both formally and in the realm of language and the construction of meaning. The notion of a "tag" is interesting to me because of its "limited" bandwidth, yet numerous meanings; if we tag something with "line", what do we mean? In some cases the meaning is simply formal (such as in the multiple architectural images that are in the database), while in others the word may be used to describe its subject (clothes line, power line, subway line). Tagging defines, but it also shows the limitations of a language that tries to define atomically.
In addition, this piece is part of a series of explorations into what it means to create artworks out of search engine queries. The piece adheres strictly to results found only through the given query: no "navigation" has been performed in order to obtain the images, only selection within the presented results. If search engines are the new arbiters of knowledge (what cannot be found will rarely enter into the public consciousness), then they are also the arbiters of the meaning of the words used as queries, even though such search engines cannot really discern "meaning" as understood by humans. Perhaps the idea of "relevance" is the computer equivalent to human "meaning."
Custom tools were developed in Java to gather, select and manipulate the images from Flickr (These tools have since been ported to Cocoa). The "line" in the image was defined by "drawing" an invisible line over each picture, whose start and end points was recorded to an XML database, together with the physical location of the image file. Another tool was developed to permit a rapid and visual arrangement of the images in the database. The arrangement of the images is not random: they have been grouped thematically, with attention to formal qualities to provide the illusion of a smoothly flowing line. For performance reasons, the final display is handled by an OpenGL application written in C++ with the JUCE toolkit. For the truly curious, the tools to gather and manipulate the images took the lion's share of the development time of the piece, while the final display software was a relatively simple ordeal. The only gotcha in the display system is that since the database is rather large, not all of the images can be loaded into memory at once; hence, a mechanism to dynamically load the images before they were to be displayed was required. To permit a smoothly running animation, this mechanism runs on a separate thread of execution that attempts to keep a buffer full, allowing the software to run without many "hiccups."

The last two weeks of August, we had a road trip. Our goal was to make it to South Carolina to visit my dad, and then down to Charleston for a couple of days. Two weeks… ahhhh… enough time to actually relax.
I've had all sorts of things I wanted to post, but wasn't sure how to organize it, so I'm just going to start and see what happens.
I got to leave work the Friday before with that great "the desk is truly cleared" feeling. We had a little too much to do over that weekend, but we got things together pretty well, and Monday morning before 6am we were on the road, and were well into Wisconsin before the sun was actually up. Great start.
I'd loaded up the iPhone with History of Christianity I from Reformed Theological Seminary on iTunes U – awesome stuff – and that kept me occupied while everyone snoozed away the morning.
Our goal was to get to Loiusville, KY where we'd find a room for the night. We were making great time, until…
Helen had a plan. And as the morning progressed and emails were exchanged, we found that we had a stop to make. Near Chicago.
Yes, Jellyfish Labs, where Phil Vischer (creator of Big Idea… think Veggie Tales) is building a wiggly Jellyfish army with which he'll rule the world. Actually, he's building Jellytelly.com, a Christian, internet-based media network for kids. Excellent stuff, well done, and with a little humor for the grown-ups thrown in. (See jellyfishland.com, too.)
I expect Helen and the kids will want to write their own blog posts about it, so I won't tell everything, but we had great time. Absurdly nice people and sneak peeks and puppet shows and I even got to squeeze in a little geek tech talk; something for everyone.
We left saying "That was so GREAT!" about a million times, and then everyone fell asleep again. (Well, except for me. Mostly.) And we made our way to Loiusville. We got there a bit later then we expected and got a couple of rooms at the Fairfield Inn on the north bank of the river, where the nice desk clerk worked hard to get us a good rate. I ran over to McDonald's to get us some passable burgers and way too many fries (what was I thinking?) and off to bed. So ended day one.

Do you want to have more fun, to fit in, to feel great? If you think it's as easy as snorting cocaine, you're fooling yourself. The more you regularly rely on cocaine to get you "up," the closer you move toward addiction. If you decide you are on the path to addiction, you can take action to change your behavior and find caring people to help you.
You may think cocaine helps you work faster and more creatively. But with repeated use, cocaine actually leads to decreased performance. Cocaine may also cause emotional problems (such as depression), seizures, and heart attacks. Read the following statements and check "yes" or "no." Answering "yes" to 3 or more questions may be a signal that cocaine is taking over your life.
Have you ever used cocaine to help you function better?
Do you do things under the influence of cocaine that you wouldn't normally do?
Have you seriously thought that you might have a chemical dependency problem?
Do you look forward to using cocaine?
Do you spend more and more time with other people who use cocaine?
Do you get anxious when you're out of cocaine?
Do you find it difficult to enjoy life without cocaine?
Have people ever confronted you about your cocaine use?
Have you ever missed work or a social occasion because of cocaine use?
Has your cocaine use ever caused you financial strain?
Is your cocaine use interfering with your sleep or causing irritability?
Do you have to use more cocaine to get the same effects you once experienced?

"All the same ... it's a very important name. And I don't expect there are many bears in the world called Paddington!"
A lonely toy bear on an empty shop shelf on Christmas Eve in 1956 first captured the attention of Michael Bond, who kindly shared Paddington with the world.

Over the last couple of months I have found myself fielding phone calls and emails from job agencies and recruiters who knew that my current contract was coming to a close. A certain amount of attention is a very pleasant thing. It indicates that the job market is reasonably buoyant and that I have the skills required for these jobs – sweet! Of course getting no attention would mean that something is seriously wrong. Either the economy is sliding further down the pan and I should take up those carpentry classes, or I need to polish up the old CV and get it up on the all important job boards like Monster.com or Jobserve.co.uk.
The one thing I have become aware of from this attention is the way that recruitment agencies currently approach candidates. The modus operandi appears to consist of making as many phone calls as possible whilst making noises not dissimilar to a flock of starlings taking off and being about as meaningful.
I had recently rewritten my CV, adding in my most recent contract and making it all nice and shiny and had then put it up on some job boards. I applied for a couple of positions that caught my eye and thought that I might get a few phone calls. The result? Holy Hell! Fifty phone calls on the first day and 45 on the second! Now if every one of these calls was about a real contract, I would have been ecstatic but the signal to noise ratio (or more accurately, real job to bullshit ratio) was appalling. Only a couple of the calls were about contracts of any sort of interest and the rest were just rubbish. The 5 minutes that each agent wanted would have taken up over 4 hours each day if I hadn't interrupted them. Not only were most of the calls a waste of time, but the agent on the other end seemed to have no idea on what was appropriate and what wasn't:
No, I would not like a permanent position at a fifth of my current day rate.
No, I would not like to move to Ulan Bator.
No, if my CV does not say that I have used a particular language, I am not hiding it just to tease you; I really have not used that language.
No, the fact that I have used one particular and ancient language or skill once on a project 10 years ago does not mean that I am a guru capable of rewriting the world in it.
Emails can be even more extreme. An email from an agent is the best way to find out that the agent is either a) a serious professional with a deep understanding of their client's requirements and is working hard to find the right developer with the right skills, or b) an inept tosspot who couldn't find their own arse with both hands and a map. The lazy data mining query rears its head again as agents compete as to who can send the most misdirected email. Starting the email "Sehr geehrter Herr Anderson" is a bad start considering that I have never spoken or even claimed to have spoken German. Better yet is to demonstrate your complete inability to understand you target audience by hoping that I would be interested in a junior level position at a two man company in a small village famous for its pasties using a skill set that a squirrel monkey would regard as too easy. There may have been a time when I would have been interested in a position like this but since I have spent the best part of a decade building enterprise systems for multi-nationals in London it does not have quite the allure that it once did.
What the hell is going on?!
The legion of agencies out there is a reflection of the fact that the IT market is still quite young. Parts of the IT industry are obviously older (did people seriously expect to be able to get by on punch cards all their life?)but the majority of IT is still less than 20 years old. Back in the dot-com boom, the preferred recruitment technique was to stun a passer-by with a well thrown half-brick, ask the groggy individual whether they had ever read an IT related book and put them forward as a senior developer if they said yes (if they said no, you put them forward for a role in IT management). The ensuing dot-com crash had the dual effect of getting rid of most, but unfortunately not all, of the lemons working in IT but it seems that it also got rid of many of the agents that figured out how to talk to IT contractors. In an industry awash with technical terms, agents have a nightmare keeping up with the technology and often resort to playing buzzword bingo. The recent recession seems to have done the same thing and with the recent uptick (in London at least) a new generation of recruiters have arrived.
The Rules for Contacting Contractors
Firstly and most importantly, read my CV. If you are phoning me because my name and telephone number popped up as the result of a lazily written data mining query and are unable to tell me from a bar of soap apart from the fact that I have skills "C# AND Java" and do not smell of Lilly of the Valley, I will probably tell you to bugger off. I expect a conversation based on the role in hand and not have to hold yours as you ask me bone headed questions, the answers to which are on my CV. Reading my CV applies double to emails.
Only contact me if you have a solid position to discuss or I already know who you are. If I don't know you and you are just phoning up to find out my availability or chat about the weather, I may just hang up as frankly, I just don't have the time. If you are introducing yourself and nothing else, send me an email. Unless you manage to come across as a drooling halfwit in 6 lines or less, and I have seen it done, I will be happy to reply when I have the time. And don't try to pass off contact for Data Protection Act purposes as something else otherwise you get put in the cretin pile.
Contractors are rarely if ever interested in permanent positions. They will not turn to the dark side unless they have suffered a serious head injury or an illness like child-birth or marriage. If you phone me about a permanent position I will certainly, if gently, berate you for your lack of reading comprehension and will probably laugh at you too.
If you say that you will call back to update me on the progress of a contract then make sure that you call back even if it's just to say that nothing has changed. This is basic business practise and will distinguish you from the other bullshit artists and people who are afraid to say "sorry, you didn't get it". If you do not and don't have a good excuse, why on earth would I want to deal with you again?
Don't start the conversation by telling me that you have a "great position with a dynamic up-and-coming/large-and-established company". I prefer you being to the point and telling me what you have. Do the sales part after we have established that I match the role's requirement and that I may be interested. This is for your sake as much as mine. If I'm completely unsuitable, you need to know that as soon as possible, don't you?
Do have an idea about the rates the role is paying. For a contractor (mercenary bastards that we are) this is one of the most important things to know. Asking me what I am looking for is fair enough (even if it is annoying because shouting out how much you earn in a crowded office does not make you any friends) but don't be surprised if I just ask what the role is paying. If you don't know because the job hasn't been released to the open market yet, that's fair enough but if it's because you can't find the spec, then you are a mouthbreather and I will suspect that in-between phonecalls you gently chew on your crayons and eat paint.
Don't treat the name of your client like it's a state secret. You must be insane if you think that I would let you submit my CV to some random company. At some point you are going to have to man up and tell me. If you don't then I'm not interested and you come across like an insecure berk with one client who's terrified that some other agent will steal it away. Or you are telling porkie pies and don't have a real job to discuss. There is a special circle of hell for recruiters that do this where you (along with Estate Agents and Traffic Wardens) will be made to pay for your crimes.
Don't ask me for my references. I know you will be unable to stop yourself from phoning them. This one simple act marks you out as a predatory moron trying to push an unwanted service and marks me as a naïve idiot for not seeing it coming. References come after I've talked to the client and we have established a little bit of trust.
And go steady with the referral scheme there Smiler, I am not here to do your job for you. This is not an episode of "Pimp My Friends". If I genuinely think that I do have someone who might be suitable, I will ask you for a spec and forward it on to them. I will not give out an email addresses without their explicit say-so. If you aren't prepared to send me the spec, I'm certainly not going to be bothered to send it on so don't try to use it as leverage to get me to tell you anybody's emails. Also, and this is important, this is not an excuse for you to spam me with emails in the hope that I will know someone who will know someone who might be suitable. And don't imagine that the "huge" referral fee is all that impressive when we've figured out that you claw that back inside the first week of a 6 month contract.
Check List:
Tell me your first name, last name and what company you represent.
If it's a phone call, check I can talk. If I give monosyllabic answers, offer to call back later or send an email as odds are my boss has just appeared at my desk.
Tell me what type of role you have. If it's a permie role and I'm a contractor or it's C++ and I'm Java only then we can save an awful lot of time and call it quits right here. The role description should be the level, main skill-set, the role and employment type like 'a Junior PHP web developer contract' or 'a Senior C#/.NET programmer/lead vacancy'.
If you don't know my situation, ask now. The fact that you have my CV in front of you does not necessarily mean that I am looking or am about to start looking. I have had agents with copies of my CV that are 3 or 4 years old phoning me up so a CV alone is not an indication that I am available.
Assuming that everything is copacetic, then and only then we can get into the details.
Agency behaviour is a top down issue. Grunts on the desks behave the way that their team leaders or bosses allow/expect and can only be expected to do what they have been trained to do. I love the fact that there are people out there desperate to get me a job, I really do, and I am very aware of the importance of agencies in the contractors ecosystem but at some point sanity must kick in and curb the flood of crap. When people refer to members of your industry as "pimps" this is not a good reflection of your industry and it's not just the guys on the phones that need to pay attention.
The pendulum of power has swung back and forward from candidates to agents and back again over the last few years but with the recent tightening of belts caused by the credit crunch, it may well be moving back to the agents as the pool of candidates fight for fewer positions. Then again, it may stay as it is as fewer jobs needs less agents. Either way, contractors needs recruiters and recruiters need contractors but making it commoditised is selling everybody short. There are some fantastic people in recruitment and I've been lucky enough to deal with some of the best but recruiters need to fight their way back to a level of professionalism they haven't had for quite a while.
