They are targeting virtually every niche imaginable, just to get search results in google etc.
You have to remember these bloggers are spammers, they are not running white hat sites...I already pointed out earlier, one of the blogs mentioned had a cloud of spam keywords, but ultimately he/she was selling jeans from a Chinese site.
There really is no conspiracy here, it's just spammers selling stuff.
Sooo, does someone want to explain what these things have to do with a baby bathtub? Didn't think so.
What I don't understand about the blogs I'm researching is why there are maybe four links to merchandise via Facebook...none of the links have anything to do with each other, for example...baby clothes and power tools and stationary and food related items.

Even though Warby Parker haven't been around very long, they've managed to garner a lot of well deserved attention for boutique quality eyewear (with incredible classic style) that retails on their website for a mere $95.
But of course they've gone further than offering an incredible price point for eyewear. They also donate one pair of glasses to someone in need for every pair that they sell which enables you to share the gift of vision with someone who can't see today and give them the opportunity to read, to work and to live a fuller life.
Now Warby Parker has teamed up with Invisible Children to outfit today's young activist and to raise awareness about the plight of child soldiers in east Africa. Invisible Children is a social, political and global movement using the transformative power of story (documentary film) to change lives. By inspiring youth culture to value creativity, idealism and sacrifice, the movement fuels the most effective, adaptable and innovative programs in the world.
The Invisible Children sunglasses are yet available but for now here is the link to the sign up page so you can be notified when they are.

Types of Braces
Metal Braces
Metal braces are made of high-quality, durable stainless steel. The brackets, which are bonded to the front of each tooth, are connected by the archwire, which helps guide the teeth into the correct positions. We utilize high tech, self-ligating metal braces which allow us to often spread out the time intervals between your appointments. Today's metal braces are smaller, more comfortable and more attractive.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces move teeth just as efficiently as metal braces, except the braces are clear so they are less noticeable. Many adults and teenagers choose to have clear braces. We do NOT charge extra if you or your child desire clear braces.
The Invisalign System is a series of clear overlay templates called aligners that have been generated by computer simulation to gradually move the teeth. This system of moving teeth is available to most of our adult patients. Ask us if you are a candidate for the Invisalign system.
Invisalign® Teen
Invisalign Teen is the ideal solution for teenagers wanting to perfect their smile with confidence. This system of moving teeth is an option for many of our teen patients. Patients can still eat and drink what they want, while easily flossing their teeth. This revolutionary system is desgned specifically for teenagers and their busy lifestyles. Ask Dr. Pine if this system is a "fit" for your teen.
Damon braces were invented by Dr. Dwight Damon. The Damon bracket utilizes (sliding-door) technology known as "self-ligation" that allows the wire to slide back and forth within the bracket.
No elastic or steel ties are used with Damon brackets. This technology creates less friction and results in greater comfort for the patient.
Incognito braces are a new generation of braces for teens and adults. They are placed behind the teeth. These unique braces are created using state-of-the-art technology and are 100% customized to the shape of your teeth and to your dental situation. With Incognito, you get efficient, effective tooth movement and great aesthetics.

Plant based "sunny" spinach pie
- 01
- March
- 2015
When researching some ideas for a party I came across this beautiful looking spinach pie! http://www.everrecipes.com/2015/01/a-beautiful-and-sunny-spinach-pie.html I was inspired! There was only one problem. It was not vegan… So I made a healthy plant based version of it.
For dough:
- 2 cups of organic whole grain four (I used whole grain white wheat organic flour)
- 1 – 1 1/2 cups of water
- 1/3 cups of olive oil
- 1 pinch of sea salt (or more to taste)
For filling:
- 1 pack of extra firm tofu (I used organic extra firm sprouted tofu)
- 1 small container of fresh spinach chopped into strips
- 1 small yellow onion
- 1 – 2 gloves of garlic
- 1 Table spoon of olive oil
- 1/2 fresh lemon juiced
- 1 pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 tea spoon of thyme
- 1 pinch of more black pepper to taste
- 1/2 tea spoon of cumin power (optional)
- 1/4 tea spoon of tumeric (optional)
To prepare the dough combine flour, water, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix well. Once dough is not very moist knead it with additional flour for about 5 – 7 minutes. You do not have to knead too hard, rather fold and stretch it a number of times. Cover dough with towel or plastic wrap and set aside.
To prepare the filling press tofu to eliminate excess water. To press tofu place it on a flat small plate and cover it with another small flat plate. On top place something heavy enough to provide pressure, but not to completely squash tofu. Let it sit for 10 – 15 minutes. Drain and crumble tofu with your hands or a fork in a mixing bowl. Add all seasonings and mix well. Set aside. Warm up skillet with a little bit of olive oil. Chop onion and saute it in skillet for 5 minutes. Add crushed garlic and saute for 3 more minutes. Add tofu. Saute for 5 additional minutes. Mix in spinach. Remove skillet from heat. Mix spinach into tofu. It should wilt.
Divide dough into two parts. Roll one part 1/4 inch thick and carefully place it on the baking sheet. I used one of my big round plates to cut a circle out. Place some tofu filling in the center and some along the edge. Roll the second part of dough 1/4 inch thick. Carefully cover the first layer with tofu filling. Attach the second layer of dough to the first with your fingers or a fork. Cut extra dough to keep the circle shape. Cut the edge of the pie into 1 1/2 inches thick slices all around. Gently twist every slice so that tofu filling will be on top (90 degrees).
Preheat oven to 350 F. Bake spinach tofu pie for 30 – 35 minutes. Make sure to cool it before moving from the baking sheet to a serving plate.

Show host Chris Hansen clarified in an interview with NPR News that the subjects confronted on the show should be labelled properly as potential sexual predators and not as paedophiles, which is a specially-defined clinical subclass of human psychosexuality.
As Hansen stated, "Pedophiles have a very specific definition, people who are interested in prepubescent sex," he stated.

The investigations were conducted as undercover sting operations with the help of online watchdog group Perverted-Justice.
Since the third installment, law enforcement and other officials were also involved, leading to the arrests of most individuals caught. NBC affiliates WTMJ in Milwaukee, KSHB in Kansas City and WBRE in Wilkes-Barre have also done local versions of To Catch a Predator.
Various spin-offs have aired in the same format, including To Catch a Con Man, To Catch an ID Thief, To Catch a Car Thief and To Catch an i-Jacker, which featured i Pod thieves.
To Catch a Predator is also aired on FX and Crime & Investigation Network in the United Kingdom, the Crime & Investigation Network in Australia and New Zealand and FOX Crime in Portugal.
To Catch a Predator is an American reality television series that features hidden camera investigations by the television newsmagazine program Dateline NBC.
It was devoted to impersonating underage people (generally ages 13–15) and detaining male adults who contacted them over the Internet for sexual liaisons.People were lured to meet with a decoy under the pretense of sexual contact and then confronted.The series premiered in November 2004, and featured 12 investigations in total held across the United States.They set up adults to message or email the decoy and begin a dialogue.If the conversation turns sexual in nature (the content in question initiated by the adult), the decoy will not discourage this, nor outright encourage it.This also can help the Perverted-Justice team in collecting incriminating evidence against the alleged offender.

A/N: Yep. Still obsessed with the X-Files some more. #TheShipThatDidntSink
"Monsters are easy to come by,
So I went out and found the beast before we met."
There are so many things I haven't told you; not the least of which is that I love you.
I remember waking up as a young child to strange noises, hugging my knees to my chest and rocking back and forth, squeezing my eyes shut tightly; I was never very afraid of the dark. In fact, it often comforted me—surrounded me in its blanket and held me closely as no one had done since I was a very small boy. The sounds, though, were what seemed to idly haunt me in ways I still haven't come to fully comprehend. I would listen to them and feel my body tense up under the sheets, my muscles pulled taut as my mind tried to wrap itself around an idea that I did not know I was too young and naïve to understand. The sounds I couldn't identify then are based in sadness and loneliness and what happens to a heart when everyone in the world has forgotten it exists.
I never forgot my mother's heart—my father did, and the strange creaking in the house that kept me awake most nights, even before my sister vanished, was the love escaping through every crack in our house, every crevice—every thing that was not airtight.
Nothing is airtight.
I couldn't sleep on those nights—I still can't sleep, you know this. But the best sleep I've ever gotten has come at your bedside in the hospital. I know how that makes me sound—it makes me sound selfish, to put it mildly. So I guess I should try to explain.
It was never the dark that hurt me—it was the noises. And if the silence that reigned in my house as a child—even more than the yelling—was the degradation of love, then the sound of your breathing, the steady rise and fall of your chest, is the incarnation of it.
If we were lovers, if I could lie next to you every night and listen to you breathe, I could sleep every night. But we're not lovers. At least, not in the widely understood definition of that term. So, it would be unacceptable for me to come to your bed at night, except when you are in the hospital. It's okay there—and that you are alive, the fact that I can hear your breath instead of silence, brings me a sense of peace I'm not sure I've ever had before.
Don't misunderstand: Every vigil I have kept by your hospital bedside—and there have been quite a few—were expressly and purposefully for you. But, it would be a transgression to not admit that they were also for me. On those nights, in those sterile places surrounded by pain, anger and death (thank god it's never been yours), I can forget—I can forget everything except you and everything that has led me to you and to your bedside, holding your hand, brushing your hair from your face, placing my forehead on the edge of your bed and sleeping finally without the consequence of dreams.
And in these moments, the love does not escape through the crevices and cracks—instead, it seeps into them. It seeps into the room around us, filling every gape—even the hairline ones—until they overflow; it slips into me, fills every crack and crevice created by too many years of not quite enough love from anyone I've ever met. You know what comes next, but I'll say it anyway: except you.
So, I won't apologize for this selfishness. I never do, but for this one especially, I won't.
I could never forget that your heart exists.
There are so many things I haven't told you; not the least of which is that I love you. Not the least of which is that your very breath has become my salvation.

You do not sense what is really wrong with a certain kind of music until you hear that one record that does things differently, grabs you totally, takes you away to places you thought you would never reach. The psychedelic noise rock that has been going under the name of New Weird America, for some time now, has been hitting rock-bottom. In the same way it is getting harder and harder to equal, let alone surpass, the intensity of Wolf Eyes or Hair Police in the noise quadrant, it was becoming almost impossible to excell in the neo-psych folk corners after definitive statements by Six Organs Of Admittance, Jack Rose, Pelt, Charalambides et alia. To cut it short: A lot of noodling has been going on lately, thousands of 'interesting' cd-r's flood the market, but nobody is making a point anymore.
And then suddenly there is Grails, a band that makes you point your ears and realize there is still a margin for progress. Grails boldly reach across continents, their music is literally of this world. Like the best moments of Can, they transport you from the endless prairies and highways of America, sweep you through the Indian backlands and deserts of Central Asia and then safely put you down so you can take a breath again and marvel at the sultry Mediterranean vistas of Greece and Turkey and Spain. In the time of one record they make you feel as if you are experiencing soundless dawn and plain sunlight and atmospheric dusk and the still of the night. Grails relish in rain and thunder, wind and storm, mountains and sea, sun and moon, steam and sand. Grails has eloquence, Grails knows what intimacy is, Grails loves grand gestures, Grails revels in datails. Grails make music a discovery again. Grails prove that music can still be exciting. Grails dare but do not fail.
Grails have many things for them. But most of all, they have got IT. Hearing is believing.

We've been covering the devastating impact of the Reynoldsburg School Board's refusal to listen to the community's feedback as they have been involved in "negotiations" with the district's professional educators. The story has gained national attention for the Board's staunch insistence to implement changes to the teachers' contract that are direct from the Michelle Rhee and John Kasich playbooks. With a strike looming for tomorrow, the Reynoldsburg Education Association's negotiation team entered a final session with the school board and superintendent today at 1:00 to try and come to a reasonable resolution with the help of a federal mediator.
Sadly, it appears that the school board will not budge from their goal of trying to disparage and, ultimately, disband the teachers union. Here is the latest news release from the Reynoldsburg Education Association:
"Today, our bargaining team presented a fair, comprehensive proposal to the Board. Our proposal covered all outstanding issues and cost less than the latest board proposal. The Board countered with an offer that included several unacceptable poison pill conditions that the Board knew we would reject , including the condition that the union give up its right to strike before presenting the offer to the members. The Board's actions have shown that they have forfeited their judgment, are not serious about reaching an agreement, and are far more interested in picking a fight. We will continue working to get the Board to accept class size limits and a means of addressing the unprecedented teacher turnover in our district. We were hopeful that an agreement could be reached today, but we need a willing partner to work with us, and the Board is still entrenched in its positions and continuing to follow the misguided direction of Superintendent Tina Thomas-Manning. We will not be bullied. We will continue to fight for our students, our parents, and our community and the schools they deserve."
The community is holding a rally on Saturday, September 20, at 11:00 am. The rally to support the teachers in their fight to establish an appropriate learning environment for their students will be held at 1520 Davidson Drive in Reynoldsburg.

UPDATE: REA Press Release from September 18, 10:30 pm:
The Reynoldsburg Education Association (REA) held a general membership meeting to discuss the last, best and final offer from the Board of Education. After a full discussion, the membership voted overwhelmingly to go on strike. After the meeting, REA Spokesperson Kathy Evans issued the following statement:
"Our most recent proposal to the Board represents the best interests of our students, teachers, and taxpayers by addressing all of the outstanding issues. The Board's demand to submit the outstanding issues to binding arbitration shirks their responsibility to negotiate a fair, reasonable contract for Reynoldsburg teachers, students, and community, by requesting an outsider to make decisions for Reynoldsburg.
That just isn't the Reynoldsburg way, we stand up for ourselves, take responsibility, and make the tough decisions. We did not want to strike, but Superintendent Tina Thomas-Manning's refusal to accept REA's latest proposal — which costs less than the Board's last, best, and final offer — forced us to go on strike for the schools that Reynoldsburg students deserve. We have to fight now for the future of our students."
When it gets to this point, the problem is a failure in leadership. The strike is a direct result of the Republican's disdain for teachers, lead by Kasich.
Class sizes in Reynoldsburg Schools are extremely high. I'd bet that the superintendent, and school board members don't have the capacity to handle 40 students in a classroom, yet they want teachers to do it. The school district has set up the students and teachers to fail by refusing to address the issues brought forward by REA. Shame on the board and the superintendent. I support the teachers in Reynoldsburg!
Bob M
Hmm, they using the same "law firm" that Strongsville did during their very contentious negotiations and strike?
If you haven't already, can PB give us an article about these individual board members? I'd like to know more about their backgrounds and why they might be collaborating on such an agenda.
Reynoldsburg homeowners watch your home values gradually decline and your retirement financial security erode thanks to Thomas-Manning and Swope. First they will degrade the teaching staff and the education quality in our community will deteriorate until people will not wish to purchase homes in Reynoldsburg. As home values decline by thousands of dollars Thomas-Manning will be gone and Swope will take up painting like George Bush. To protect your home values everyone needs to call the misguided and destructive Superintendent and the arrogant and extremist Swope. Wake up Reynoldsburg!

House Sitter in Atlanta

We're from Virginia, and we want to check out the city for a few weeks to see how we like it. We're animal lovers, and have had dogs al of our lives, so I would say we're experts at dog sitting. We would be happy to do chores and house keeping things.

text: It was a warm afternoon in August. We were sitting together in a hammock which swung from two solemn pines at a short distance from the house. We had hurried through the dish-washing after luncheon, in order that we might have as long an afternoon as possible for the story. As we hastened through the long grass toward the hammock, the grasshoppers swarmed about us and fastened themselves on our clothes, and I remember that my teacher insisted upon picking them all off before we sat down, which seemed to me an unnecessary waste of time. The hammock was covered with pine needles, for it had not been used while my teacher was away. The warm sun shone on the pine trees and drew out all their fragrance. The air was balmy, with a tang of the sea in it. Before we began the story Miss Sullivan explained to me the things that she knew I should not understand, and as we read on she explained the unfamiliar words. At first there were many words I did not know, and the reading was constantly interrupted; but as soon as I thoroughly comprehended the situation, I became too eagerly absorbed in the story to notice mere words, and I am afraid I listened impatiently to the explanations that Miss Sullivan felt to be necessary. When her fingers were too tired to spell another word, I had for the first time a keen sense of my deprivations. I took the book in my hands and tried to feel the letters with an intensity of longing that I can never forget. 那是8月里一个温暖宜人的下午,我们俩坐在一张摇摆的吊床上,这张吊床就拴在离家不远的两棵大松树之间。午餐过后,我们匆匆涮过盘子,为的是尽可能用整个下午时间看故事书。当我们快步穿过草丛奔向吊床时,受惊的蚱蜢乱飞乱撞,纷纷落在我们身上。我记得老师坚持要先把衣服上的蚱蜢摘掉,然后再坐下看书;可是在我看来,这似乎是毫无必要的浪费时间之举。吊床上面已经落满了松针,因为自老师离开后一直没有人用过这张吊床。和煦的阳光洒落在松树上,空气中弥漫着松针的芳香,同时夹杂着一股独特的海洋气息。在开始读故事之前,苏立文小姐向我解释了一些我不太理解的背景,而且,在阅读过程中,她还要随时向我讲解生词。刚开始时有很多单词我都不认识,阅读因此会常常中断;但是当我完全沉浸在故事情节之中,生词这回事就被我忽略了。对于苏立文小姐认为有必要解释的那些词语,我想我当时听得很不耐烦。后来,因过于疲劳,老师的手指再也拼写不下去了,而我却第一次产生出一种被剥夺了心爱之物的沮丧感。于是,我把书抓在手里,如饥似渴地摸索着书页,我永远也不会忘记那种急切的心情。 来自:VOA英语网 文章地址: http://www.tingvoa.com/html/20170923/496573.html

Overnight Boarding
Each guest has his or her own private indoor room with a raised bed and bedding. Fresh water is available at all times. Meals are served up to three times per day per your specifications. Every guest enjoys at least four trips outside per day with an established routine to help maintain housetraining habits and help minimize stress. In between play groups, each guest returns to their room for naptime. A complimentary bath is offered to all guests boarding with us for more than five nights.
Tails Up's enriched daycare program is intentionally very different than what you will find in other facilities. Our mission is to support and enhance social skills and provide a stimulating but safe environment that meets the behavioral and physical needs of individual dogs. We offer structured activities that are well managed and supervised by interactive trained staff. Our goal is to send dogs home relaxed and feeling good, not drained and depleted from an overwhelming day. Our playgroups are small in size and personalized to your dog's personality and activity level.
Daycare is available seven days a week. Whether your dog needs daycare just a few days a year, or several days a week, Tails Up daycare is the answer.
Our feline friends enjoy their own private space within Tails Up. The cattery offers luxury accommodations where each cat has their own with multi-level cat condo. Sounds of nature soothe their souls as they nap the day away (as we know cats love to do). Families with multiple cats can be boarded in adjoining rooms with portholes to move between rooms for visiting.
Special Sessions
While the basic inclusions will satisfy most guest needs for human love and activity, your pet may benefit from a few extra options- it's completely up to you! Each customized 15-minute session includes a write up from the staff member to let you know what your pet enjoyed during their session:
Cuddle Time - exactly like it sounds- perfect for the pet that needs all the human attention it can get, including treats, back scratches and snuggles.
Massage - utilizing Tellington T-Touch techniques, this is relaxation therapy for stressed or nervous dogs.
Extra Playtime - perfect for dogs that love to chase tennis balls or have extra energy to burn.
Basic Obedience or tricks training - help your pup keep their perfect manners with some positive reinforcement based training on the basics like sit, stay, come, loose leash walking or polite greetings. For the more advanced student, we can introduce tricks into their repertoire!
Cuddle time, massage, and extra playtime sessions are $10 per session. Training sessions are $15 each.
A Tails Up Day
The day begins at 6 a.m. with individual potty walks outside before breakfast is served in each guest's private room ala room service. Daycare dogs start checking in at 7 a.m. Once everyone has arrived and had a chance to digest breakfast, morning playgroups begin at 9 a.m.
Using what we've learned form our initial consultation, each guest is assigned a playgroup based upon age, size and activity level. The groups are small and supervised to encourage positive social interaction. Playgroups last one hour (groups may be lengthened or shortened depending upon occupancy and weather conditions).
Guests return inside to have lunch or relax. Around 1 pm, playgroups resume again and everyone returns outside for another hour-long playgroup. If you have treated your dog to any extra sessions, they will enjoy these in the afternoon too.
In the early evening, daycare dogs say goodbye for the day while overnight guests enjoy dinner and room service. Finally, the day wraps up with one more trip to the play yard to take care of any business and one last romp before bedtime at 8 p.m. A staff member stays on duty between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. to make sure everyone has a restful night's sleep.

text: My oto is very active and it's been like a month and he's survived. I noticed his stomach is small though...like smaller than when I first bought him. It's the shape of a white oval, but underneath, the bottom has disappeared kind of like if there's an air bubble/empty space. Did the stomach actually shrink? Will it grow back if he eats more? He's pretty much cleaned my tank from algae have some hard green algae but he won't touch that. But I see him poop every 5 minutes so he IS eating something.

Designers are consistently challenged by the increasing demands for every new generation in the consumer sector. Among them are the underlying needs for lower temperature, improved form factors and increased efficiencies, along with significantly reduced system cost.
Infineon's 700 V CoolMOSTM P7 is the first 700 V solution developed and produced on 300 mm for low power applications. It offers a price competitive solution for consumer applications such as flyback chargers and adapters in the power range from 10 W to 75 W. 700 V CoolMOSTM P7 is a tailored technology for flyback and DCM (discontinuous current mode) PFC applications and is not suitable for any half- or full-bridge topology.
This paper focuses on the highly popular flyback-based converters, with special emphasis on the role of MOSFETs within this topology. It will also illustrate the benefits of dedicated switching devices by benchmarking some real-world application examples and will give an overview of some of the latest devices on the market.

I mock, but dreaming of cruising around with the top down helps a lot on a day like today. Stay warm everybody!

It's a win for Harvey Weinstein, Lee Hirsch and "Bully": AMC has announced its theaters will allow moviegoers of all ages to see the film.
EW reports that anyone under the age of 17 can attend with either a guardian or a signed permission slip. The permission slips will be available at this link at some time on Wednesday.
The theater chain's decision should please the Weinstein Company, who announced on Monday that "Bully" would go to theaters unrated after a bitter fight with the MPAA. The ratings agency had assigned the film an R rating, which would obviously had made it more difficult for children to see it.
Despite a Washington D.C. hearing on the matter, the MPAA refused to change the film's rating, claiming a profanity-laden scene in "Bully" objectively qualified the film for an R rating.
Films that are unrated by the MPAA typically feature content that would have deserved an NC-17 rating. As such, most cinema chains treat unrated films as if they were rated NC-17, which makes AMC's decision all the more surprising.
When reached by The Huffington Post, a representative for the Weinstein Company declined to comment on AMC's decision.
Common Sense Media rated the film "Pause 13+." The Weinstein Company will use this rating on their promotional materials. "Pause 13+" is the same rating Common Sense Media assigned to "The Hunger Games."
A bevy of celebrities took to Twitter to protest the MPAA's decision on Wednesday as part of an awareness campaign organized by the Weinstein Company. Anderson Cooper, Kim Kardashian, Hugh Jackman and more tweeted in support of the fim.

Or wondering ways to increase your chances of winning? There are a number of ways to bet on the Melbourne Cup.Whether you like the name of a horse, the trainer or jockey, the colours it will be wearing, the big odds or the tips you have heard...everyone will have a different reason for backing a horse to win the Melbourne Cup.But did you know all the betting options available on the race? From simply backing your horse to win, to picking the first four across the line - there are many ways to bet on the Melbourne Cup.Here is a rundown on the type of bets you can place at most bookmakers, including our current top five Ladbrokes, CrownBet, UBET, TopBetta and Sportsbet.SINGLE: The most common bet. The single bet involves betting on your selection to win, place, or both (each-way). If betting each-way (see our guide for what an each-way bet is), the stake is doubled as you are betting on your selection to win, and also to place.QUINELLA: A Quinella bet is available on every thoroughbred, harness and greyhound race provided there are at least three or more runners. To win a Quinella, you must successfully predict the 1st and 2nd placegetters in any order. EXACTA: An exacta is exactly the same as a quinella. However, you must successfully predict the 1st and 2nd placegetters in the correct order. TRIFECTA: A Trifecta bet is available on every thoroughbred, harness and greyhound race provided there are at least four or more runners. To win a Trifecta, you must successfully predict the 1st, 2nd and 3rd placegetters in a given race. Top Bookmaker Deals BOOKMAKERBONUS AVAILABLE & PROMOTION CODECLAIM$500* (MAXIMUMBONUS)Claim Now$400*Claim Now$500* (NEDS500)Claim Now$100* (MAXCASH)Claim Now$501*Claim Now$502*Claim Now FIRST4: A First4 bet is available on most thoroughbred, harness and greyhound race provided there are at least four or more runners. To win a First4, you must successfully predict the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th placegetters in a given race. MYSTERY BET: A Mystery Bet takes the guess work out of picking a Trifecta and is generated by the betting agency's computer. The computer system will randomly select three runners and if they fill the placings you win the Trifecta. QUADDIE: A Quaddie bet, or Quadrella bet as it is fully known, is available on most thoroughbred, harness and greyhound race meetings. A quaddie is betting on the winners of four nominated races, which are typically the last four races of any meeting, and is a very popular bet. MULTIBET: Multibets offer a great way to secure big winning returns on your bets as you combine various bets into one, and are proving to be an extremely popular way to bet. A multibet combines any number of bets from two to 25 into one single bet and dramatically increases the odds. PATENT BET: A Patent bet is similar to a three-leg multibet but is made up of seven separate bets: three singles, three doubles and a trio. Where a multibet requires all selections to win for a return, a patent bet will yield a return from just one winner.ALL-IN BETTING: All-In betting involves a bookmaker offering fixed odds on selected feature races prior to the declaration of the final field. All-In betting on the Melbourne Cup, for example, is available for the better part of 12 months leading into the event. The risk with All-In Betting is that you will not receive your stake back if your horse is scratched.Alternatively, follow our quick links below to learn more about the various types of horse racing bets.Each-Way Betting | Quinella | Exacta | Trifecta | First4 | Mystery Bet | Quaddie | Multibet | Patent bet | All-In Betting| Lay Betting - How it works

Skip to comments.My Op-ed in The Australian
Posted on 09/20/2009 11:28:47 PM PDT by Cindy
My Op-ed in The Australian By Leah Farrall, Australia I have an op-ed piece out in todays edition of The Australian called Detentions come back to bite
Its about Guantanamo blowback now having very real strategic consequences: the formation of a new strategy to kidnap civilians in Afghanistan in order to secure the release of prisoners taken by America.
Sally Neighbour has a front page piece derived from my op-ed here Afghan foreigner kidnap order by al Qaeda leader Mustafa Hamid. I havent seen the broadsheet yet, so Im not sure if the photos I provided of Hamid are on it. If they arent on the broadsheet, I will post them here later today.
I hope you read the op-ed and article. These are important issues. I am very glad The Australian has run them.
There will be a lot more to come from me on Mustafa Hamid.

"Detentions come back to bite"
Leah Farrall | September 16, 2009
Article from: The Australian
"Afghan foreigner kidnap order by al-Qa'ida leader Mustafa Hamid"
EXCLUSIVE: Sally Neighbour | September 16, 2009
Article from: The Australian
SNIPPET: "A LEADING al-Qa'ida strategist once married to a Sydney mother has sanctioned an orchestrated campaign to kidnap foreign civilians, including Australians in Afghanistan, in retaliation for the capture, detention and torture of al-Qa'ida and Taliban prisoners by the US and its allies.
The directive has been issued by veteran al-Qa'ida adviser Mustafa Hamid, also known as Abu Walid al-Masri, who was married to Australian Rabiah Hutchinson in Afghanistan in 2001.
Hamid has been detained in Iran since 2003 but remains an influential figure in the militant movement and has maintained contact with his followers through jihadist websites, despite his imprisonment."
SNIPPET - quote:
o: All
Thank you special emailer for a link to this letter:
Note: The following text is a quote:
September 18, 2009
The President
The White House
Washington, D.C.
Dear Mr. President:
We have served as Directors of Central Intelligence or Directors of the CIA for
Presidents reaching back over 35 years. We respectfully urge you to exercise your
authority to reverse Attorney General Holders August 24 decision to re-open the
criminal investigation of CIA interrogations that took place following the attacks of
September 11.
Our reasons for making this recommendation are as follows.
The post-September 11 interrogations for which the Attorney General is opening
an inquiry were investigated four years ago by career prosecutors. The CIA, at its own
initiative, forwarded fewer than 20 instances where Agency officers appeared to have
acted beyond their existing legal authorities. Career prosecutors under the supervision
of the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia determined that one prosecution
(of a CIA contractor) was warranted. A conviction was later obtained. They determined
that prosecutions were not warranted in the other cases. In a number of these cases
the CIA subsequently took administrative disciplinary steps against the individuals
involved. Attorney General Holders decision to re-open the criminal investigation
creates an atmosphere of continuous jeopardy for those whose cases the Department
of Justice had previously declined to prosecute. Moreover, there is no reason to expect
that the re-opened criminal investigation will remain narrowly focused.
If criminal investigations closed by career prosecutors during one administration
can so easily be reopened at the direction of political appointees in the next,
declinations of prosecution will be rendered meaningless. Those men and women who
undertake difficult intelligence assignments in the aftermath of an attack such as
September 11 must believe there is permanence in the legal rules that govern their
actions. They must be free, as the Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security
Committee, Senator Lieberman, has put it: to do their dangerous and critical jobs
without worrying that years from now a future Attorney General will authorize a
criminal investigation of them for behavior that a previous Attorney General concluded
was authorized and legal. Similar deference needs to be shown to fact-based decisions
made by career prosecutors years ago.
Not only will some members of the intelligence community be subjected to
costly financial and other burdens from what amounts to endless criminal
investigations, but this approach will seriously damage the willingness of many other
intelligence officers to take risks to protect the country. In our judgment such risk-
taking is vital to success in the long and difficult fight against the terrorists who continue
to threaten us.
Success in intelligence often depends on surprise and deception and on creating
uncertainty in the mind of an enemy. As President you have the authority to make
decisions restricting substantive interrogation or any other intelligence collection
method, based on legal analyses and policy recommendations. But, the administration
must be mindful that public disclosure about past intelligence operations can only help
Al Qaeda elude US intelligence and plan future operations. Disclosures about CIA
collection operations have and will continue to make it harder for intelligence officers to
maintain the momentum of operations that have saved lives and helped protect
America from further attacks.
Finally, another certain result of these reopened investigations is the serious
damage done to our intelligence communitys ability to obtain the cooperation of
foreign intelligence agencies. Foreign services are already greatly concerned about the
United States inability to maintain any secrets. They rightly fear that, through these
additional investigations and the court proceedings that could follow, terrorists may
learn how other countries came to our assistance in a time of peril. The United States
promised these foreign countries that their cooperation would never be disclosed. As a
result of the zeal on the part of some to uncover every action taken in the post-9/11
period, many countries may decide that they can no longer safely share intelligence or
cooperate with us on future counter-terrorist operations. They simply cannot rely on
our promises of secrecy.
We support your stated commitment, Mr. President, to look to the future
regarding these important issues. In our judgment the only way that is possible is if the
criminal investigation of these interrogations that Attorney General Holder has re-
opened is now re-closed.

"A LEADING al-Qaida strategist once married to a Sydney mother has sanctioned an orchestrated campaign to kidnap foreign civilians, including Australians in Afghanistan, in retaliation for the capture, detention and torture of al-Qaida and Taliban prisoners by the US and its allies."
I'm not sure what you mean by Guantanamo blowback. If the prisoners were held in an Afghan jail or an American supermax in Colorado they could still do this. They are already kidnapping civilians and holding them for ransom, using them to negotiate the release of prisoners, and sometimes just killing them for sport.
Just watched a special the other day about journalists being traded for prisoners in Afghan jails.
Its a great strategy, if we refuse to deal, then they lay the blame at our feet for the beheading. Wouldn't work on a determined foe but could work on one that wasn't all that determined, and looking for an excuse to exit the theater.
Unless we don't reveal at all who we have, which was our policy at one time. They didn't know who we had in the early days, and it made it impossible to do what they are now threatening to do.
There is another issue.
Obama has already begun to release prisoners form Guantanamo.
So its a good idea from their point of view to start a terror campaign designed to focus attention on these prisoners. This steals the credit from Obama; instead of looking like the good guy they make him look like he's releasing them under duress. Its a ploy, a PR game.
Something similar is happening in Iraq where Obama has ordered the troops to pull back from the cities, and the terrorists have launched a bloody terror campaign. Its important to them to make it look as if they forced us out, to steal any PR value there might be. We're pulling back according to our plan, but they make it look as if we left in a rout. If they can. Its his job to make sure their little PR gambit doesn't work.
Hi marron.
Post 1 was the reference point for where I went with my links.
Read post no. 2 or just read the text in bold on this thread for a total word picture for this thread.
I know all about the release of the prisoners.
Here's a thread I update, if any of the prisoner's names are missing, go ahead and post on it with a source url.
I read through them; thanks for pulling this all together.
My point remains at least in my mind. First, that Taliban policies of going after civilians isn't new, they've been killing them right and left since the beginning when they can get to them, and they've also been using them to bargain for the release of Talibs from the beginning. So for this guy to announce that they are going to "start" doing it shouldn't be taken too seriously.
Secondly, this follows on the heels of Obama's decision to release the prisoners anyway. They can't allow that, they have to take some action to make it look like the US is releasing them under duress. So again, I wouldn't take the pretext too seriously.
Thirdly, there was an advantage to not revealing the identities of the terrorists we had in custody for this very reason. If they don't know who you have, they can't kidnap people and demand their release. You release them when you are done with them, on your terms.
We are up against people who are adept at using the news media for their own purposes; this is a chess game in addition to a boxing match.
The basic assumption of the editorial I have to reject. They aren't fighting us because we detain them, we detain them because they are fighting us. The failure to distinguish between fighter and civilian isn't on our side, the fact is that all their fighters are civilians and they move among civilians, use civilians for intel, for weapons caches, their entire support system is civilian. So the complaint that somehow we are scooping up civilians among our detainees is spurious I think. The whole problem of detentions is the need to sort out the civilians who are aiding the enemy from the civilians who are not. And among the civilians aiding the enemy, which ones cooperate because they have to versus the ones who actually carry rifles and are active members. That has to be sorted out. There is no other way to fight a war of this nature.
I agree.

"Abul-Walid is Back
with the Taliban (and not al-Qaida)"
Vahid Brown
October 9th, 2009 | Afghanistan, Strategy, Taliban
SNIPPET: "(Editors note: I am delighted to introduce our next guest blogger, Vahid Brown from the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point. Vahid is a linguist and historian with deep knowledge of the history of al-Qaida and the jihadi movement. He is the author of Cracks in the Foundation and the co-author of several well-known CTC reports. Vahid and I share many research interests, so I am thrilled that he will be with us for the next month or so.)
Mustafa Hamid Abul-Walid al-Masri, once a senior member of al-Qaida, has re-emerged lately after several years of relative silence and is once again chronicling, critiquing and offering strategic guidance to the jihadi movement. He began posting new editions of his voluminous early writings to a blog in 2007 and 08, and this July he began to add newly-written articles on the Afghan insurgency, one of which has already been covered by Leah Farrall on her blog and in the Australian.
The October issue of the Taliban monthly al-Sumud reveals that Abul-Walid, author of at least two of the articles in the latest issue, has taken up one of his old jihadi jobs: official Taliban propagandist and media strategist. His recent output also leaves little doubt that Abul-Walid is still at odds with the al-Qaida senior leadership over a wide range of ideological and strategic issues, and that he has every intention of continuing to publicly air al-Qaidas dirty laundry.
All of which makes the timing of Abul-Walids appearance in al-Sumud very interesting, and for two reasons."

This is a quick look I did using the Barry M confetti effect nail paint that they released earlier on in the year.
I painted all nails with 2 coats of a mint pastel green shade.
To all nails except the ring finger I added a few coats of the confetti effect. This one is called Sour Apple and is made up of almost turquoise and yellow rectangular flecks. Like with some glitters there was a lot of 'blobbing' needed to spread it across the nail evenly. This nail effect nail paint reminds me of a cheaper version of the feather effect polishes by Nails Inc.
To the ring finger I added a single simple silver rhinestone to finish off the whole look.
I think the confetti effects are a nice alternative to using a glitter nail paint in a design, especially if you want something similar to glitter, but which is not sparkly. The only problem is that just like glitter it is hard to remove lol.
