Rest cure
Influential American neurologist Silas Weir Mitchell developed the rest cure in the late 1800s for the treatment of hysteria, neurasthenia and other nervous illnesses. It became widely used in the US and UK, but was prescribed more often for women than men. It was frequently used to treat anorexia nervosa. The treatment kept some patients alive and others out of asylums, though some patients and doctors considered the cure worse than the disease.
The rest cure usually lasted six to eight weeks. It involved isolation from friends and family. It also enforced bed rest, and nearly constant feeding on a fatty, milk-based diet. Patients were force-fed if necessary - effectively reduced to the dependency of an infant. Nurses cleaned and fed them, and turned them over in bed. Doctors used massage and electrotherapy to maintain muscle tone. Patients were sometimes prohibited from talking, reading, writing and even sewing.
Mitchell believed the point of the rest cure was physical and moral. It boosted the patient's weight and increased blood supply. It also removed the patient from a potentially toxic social atmosphere at home. However, the implicit point was the neurologist breaking his (almost always female) patient's will. Some outspoken and independent women received the rest cure. These included writers Virginia Woolf and Charlotte Perkins Gilman. They reacted fiercely against the treatment and doctors practising it, and wrote about the experience. Later feminist scholars argued the rest cure reinforced an archaic and oppressive notion that women should submit unquestioningly to male authority because it was good for their health.

UK booze brand Strongbow has designed what it's touting as the world's first digital bottle cap that doubles as a rudimentary remote. Using RFID technology, the StartCap can do everything from turning off the lights to powering up your stereo when you crack open a cold one.
When the bottle cap is removed a hidden, and presumably shielded, RFID tag is exposed. The signal is detected and recognized by a reader, and since the RFID tags are all unique, its signature can be then used to trigger a specific action. So the bottle's capabilities are still pretty much dependent on a nearby computer, but the potential is endless. Every time you open a bottle it could automatically put your home theater into sports mode. Or simply draw the curtains and close the blinds so your neighbors can't see you drinking at 9:30 in the morning. [StartCap via PopSop via Newlaunches]

Arrest made in alleged parrot theft, but bird is still missing
PITTSFIELD -- Police arrested a 52-year-old man on Saturday after he allegedly walked into a local pet store and stole a $600 parrot and then attempted to sell the bird at a number of local businesses, including two city bars.
While police say they have Charles Williamson of Pittsfield in custody, they are still looking for the Sun Conure, a brightly-colored South American parrot, he allegedly stole on Friday afternoon from the Petco on Merrill Road.
According to the Pittsfield Police, an employee of Petco called them shortly after 3 p.m. on Friday to report that he had just been approached outside of the store by a man with a parrot in his hands asking the employee for a ride. The employee called police after going inside and discovering the empty cage where the bird had been kept.
A short time later, police began receiving reports from several businesses in the Tyler Street area about a man attempting to sell a bird. According to police, Williamson first went to Fin & Feather Pet Shop before hitting up patrons at Charlie's, Zen's Pub and The Hot Dog Ranch in an apparently unsuccessful attempt to sell the parrot.
But when Williamson was arrested by a police officer Saturday on School Street near police headquarters the bird was no longer with him.
Pittsfield Police Officer Shaun Osborn said that they are continuing to search for the bird after information they received from Williamson on the parrot's whereabouts "didn't pan out."
Williamson, who was still in police custody as of Saturday afternoon, is facing single counts of felony larceny over $250 and animal cruelty. He will likely be arraigned on Monday in Central Berkshire District Court.
Police are asking that anyone with information on the crime contact Officer Osborn at (413) 448-9700.

[Verse 1]
Ma said "Wake up son, good morning"
I rolled out of bed, greeted mama with a yawn, then
Paused to scratch an itch and, went down to the kitchen
Fixed a plate of eggs and bacon, glass of OJ Simpson
Just as I was about to dig in
A thought jumped in my head, school was to be attended, shit
I paid my thoughts no attention 'cause I wasn't tryna kick it
With this bitch that just ended it with me
But mama wasn't havin' it, so I grabbed my bag
And split out the door and saw the whore that I'd rather kick
It seems kinda brash but it's the hash, I mean the harsh truth
She runs shit, she's the jock, I'm the horseshoe
She's gorgeous, when niggas see it jaws hit the floor so
When she left, it didn't break my heart it broke my torso
Making my eyes ache, stalking your MySpace
Posted a new pic, I mean it when I say that I fucking hate you
Maybe if you looked in this direction
I'd pick my heart up off the floor and put it in my chest then
Feel the fucking life rushing through my body
But you got a guy that's not me, so my wrist is looking sloppy
Come on, let's cut the bull like a matador
You light me up like lamps, a chance is all I'm really asking for
Give me one, I promise I'll be back for more
Most wanna tap and score, I want a fam of four
Not like a family of four, just like...
Fuck it
You'll never listen to this shit anyways
Fuck you
[Verse 2]
She said "You rushing, you rabid son of a Labrador"
But I'm attracted to you like teenyboppers to Apple Stores
The basement light is darkened, the switchblade is sharpened
Her name on my arm and her face on a two-percent carton
See her face while you're fixing your breakfast
And know she's in my basement, objecting to sex with
Me, murder spree, surges on with the next bitch
Tombstones read RIP cause it's pieces they rest in

Alexander H. Pope, who was a Westwood attorney when he became the Los Angeles County assessor in 1978 and soon faced the challenge of implementing property tax rollbacks newly mandated by Proposition 13, has died. He was 80.
Pope, who later became executive director of the California Citizens Budget Commission, died Tuesday of complications of Parkinson's disease at his home in Berkeley, said his wife, Kate.
After becoming a partner in the Fine & Pope law firm in 1957, Pope served as legislative secretary for Gov. Pat Brown from 1959 to 1961, during which he supervised a staff of 20 in lobbying for administration programs with the state Legislature.
Known as a longtime activist in Democratic Party matters, he was appointed to the California Highway Commission in 1966 and served until 1970. In 1973, he was named to the Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners.
Then, in January 1978, Pope was appointed Los Angeles County assessor by the Board of Supervisors to fill out the unexpired term of Assessor Philip Watson, who had received a disability retirement.
Pope had only a few months on the job before Proposition 13, the landmark property tax relief initiative, was passed that June, placing him on what a Times writer described as "the firing line."
Pope, according to the 1978 Times article, had openly opposed the measure, "although ironically he gave the initiative a big boost in May when he released -- and then canceled -- the 1978 assessment roll with its galloping market values."
The June election returns, The Times reported, placed Pope in "uncharted waters to implement Proposition 13, and to stand for election, himself, in November [for a runoff] on the basis of his record."
Pope won the 1978 election as assessor and was reelected in 1982.
"Alex was the right person in that office," said Mark Ryavec, who served as special assistant and then chief deputy assessor during Pope's second term.
"With his legal training and his time in government in Sacramento, it made him the perfect person to take on this change.
"And he was instrumental not just in the county but in the state in writing the new rules that implemented Prop. 13."
Paul Hannah, who served for a time as assistant assessor under Pope, recalled that "after Prop. 13, there was a great deal of uncertainty and confusion about implementing certain portions of it.
"Alex was the most influential voice in guiding the Legislature, the California Assessors' Assn. and the State Board of Equalization in interpreting Prop. 13 in its many facets."
Pope, according to Ryavec, also was the first assessor in the state to reduce property tax assessments on a systematic basis when condominium values declined across the county in the early '80s.
"Instead of waiting for taxpayers to come forward and submit an application to have their assessed value reduced, he ordered staff to do a countywide review of all condominium prices, and in the end, reduced taxes on about 10,000 condominiums," Ryavec said.
Ryavec said Pope -- who as assessor once joined then-Los Angeles City Councilman Bob Ronka in visiting San Fernando Valley neighborhoods hit by floods and mudslides to talk to homeowners and explain how the damage to their homes entitled them to apply for property tax relief -- was "a marvelous mentor."
"He was a gentle soul and always on the go, always engaged with projects and activities to improve the office," he said. "When he was not doing that, he was hiking and traveling. He really lived a carpe diem -- seize the day -- life at all turns."
After his years as assessor, Pope returned to practicing law in 1987 and became a member of the state and local tax committees of both the State Bar of California and the Los Angeles County Bar Assn.
He also served for several years as a member of the California Citizens Budget Commission before becoming its executive director in 1997.
Under his leadership as executive director, the commission issued its recommendations for reforming the state's budget process in a 1998 report titled "A 21st Century Budget Process for California."
Pope retired in 2000.
He was born June 4, 1929, in New York City and reared in New Jersey and Chicago.
A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Chicago and its law school, where he was managing editor of the Law Review, Pope served in the Army from 1952 to 1954. That included a stint in Korea as the news analyst for the 8th Army in Seoul.
In addition to Kate, his wife of 23 years, he is survived by his children from his first marriage, Daniel, Stephen and Virginia; two brothers, Hallowell and Whitney; and two grandchildren.
A memorial gathering is pending.
Donations in Pope's name may be made to the American Civil Liberties Foundation, the Nature Conservancy and the Sierra Club Foundation.

Torreys Peak Climber's Log
marcminish - Jun 27, 2002 1:34 pmRoute Climbed: Loveland Pass Date Climbed: March 29, 2002
Our route took us up two 12,000 footers, Grizzly Peak (a 13er) and finally up Torrey's. It was a beautiful day and a wonderful climb. Awesome views from the top. Mostly just a really long hike but there were some sporty parts along the ridgeline of Grizzly (watch that drop off... it's a doosy!). There was some loose rock heading up towards Torrey's summit as you come out of the saddle. Snow conditions were perfect and we didn't even need crampons. My buddy, Paul Ivaska, and I had the mountains to ourselves that day along with perfect weather. It was my first 14er!
Nelson - May 31, 2002 8:51 pmRoute Climbed: Dead Dog Couloir Date Climbed: May 19, 2001
Started up the couloir about 7:50 AM, probably an hour too late. By the time we topped out at 9:30 the upper section was turning to mush. Rockfall is an issue. I wouldn't be in there without a helmet. The right (north) side of the couloir seemed worse.
A fun climb, worth repeating!
ctruscot - May 31, 2002 3:53 pmRoute Climbed: standard gray/torreys route Date Climbed: June 2, 2000
Went on a Friday - stood alone on the peak waiting for my friend to catch up and 15 mountains goats popped up one at a time from the steep side. What a delight! One of Colorados prettier 14ers.
dp - May 28, 2002 1:08 pmRoute Climbed: Dead Dog Couloir Date Climbed: May 19, 2002
great snow climb, 45-50 degree pitch. Conditions soft for this time of year. Snowpack is a bit sketchy, with weak layers, but saw several people skiing down (plan that for next year!)
Matt Mahoney - May 19, 2002 4:23 pmRoute Climbed: Stevens Gulch over Grays Date Climbed: Aug 10 1995
I was getting some altitude training for the Leadville 100. At the start I met some climbers who had just finished Grays and Torreys and were going over to climb Lincoln, Bross, and Democrat that day also, which I thought was pretty impressive.
darinchadwick - Apr 3, 2002 11:44 amRoute Climbed: Kelso Ridge Date Climbed: August 1996
The famous knife edge wasn't too bad. Edging around the gendarme before the knife edge was more difficult, so thought I. At any rate, ridge climbs are great, and this was a fun cruise with just a little spice.
spyder550 - Dec 28, 2001 10:48 pmRoute Climbed: North Slopes II from Stevens Gulch Trailhead Date Climbed: Oct. 7, 2001
Climbed after a cold ascent up Greys. Very quick traverse in between mountains. It began to snow last few feet but finished the climb. No knew snowfall at the time so most was leftover from Spring and safe traveling on. Great mountains to climb on a day off.
Zeke - Nov 28, 2001 12:09 pmRoute Climbed: Dead Dog Couloir Date Climbed: June 2001
Climbed 3 times before but first time VIA Dead Dog. Soloed, up and down in about 6 hours and that was after getting back from a couple of weeks in Hawaii. By the way, the snorkeling in Maui is awsome! But this is a great climb and very enjoyable, easy access and nice and long, solid snow. Watch for slides tho. some one was lifted out of there, having fell in Dead Dog the week after we were there.
xskier77 - Nov 13, 2001 9:13 amRoute Climbed: Stevens Gulch Date Climbed: September 23, 2001
Hike from Grays on a very sunny day. Lots of people on the summit of Grays not so many on Torreys. This was my forth 14er.
steeleman - Oct 28, 2001 5:23 pmRoute Climbed: Stephen's Gulch Date Climbed: September 1991
My first 14er. Saw a mountain goat 100 feet below the summit. Very cool. Great views out over summit county and down to Pikes Peak country
odysseus - Aug 30, 2001 11:44 amRoute Climbed: Stevens Gulch TH with Grays Date Climbed: 8/16/00
A short walk down and up the saddle afier climbing Grays. Traffic control was needed on the mountain, there were so many people going up and down that day.
miztflip - Aug 8, 2001 3:06 pmRoute Climbed: Many Date Climbed: Jan. 1999-present
I have climbed and skied Torrey's in all seasons. One trip in April to ski the Emperor remains my all time coolest ski descent of a high peak. Over 3000 vertical on some sick terrain.
Colonelpyat - Aug 5, 2001 11:56 pmRoute Climbed: Kelso Ridge Date Climbed: 07-16-2001
Great route. Great weather. Great day. It was goat city up there with lots of them all over the place.
mwalker2 - Jul 29, 2001 1:21 pmRoute Climbed: Chihuahua Gulch Date Climbed: 9/3/00
Great entry up the Gulch, then a little harder to the saddle, then a little harder to Torreys, a simple pop to Gray's, then down, down, down into my boots on the interminable descent.
Jim Clarke - Jul 23, 2001 6:51 pmRoute Climbed: Chihuahua Gulch Date Climbed: 7/11/96
First 14er via back of Torrey's then over to Gray's.
climbcolorado - Jul 19, 2001 7:59 pmRoute Climbed: South Slopes
This is a good climb for beginers or hikers.
mpbro - Jul 3, 2001 2:19 pmRoute Climbed: Kelso Ridge Date Climbed: October 15, 2000
theplugger - May 21, 2001 1:01 pmRoute Climbed: Standard Route, Stevens Gulch Date Climbed: 08-16-90
Actually we've climbed this in conjunction with Grays several times, this being my first. More and more folks in the parking lot every year, and many families climb this with youngsters and their dogs. It's upsetting to see how many folks let their dogs go off the leash, since there's always a neat herd of mountain goats along the way.

DETROIT, Jan. 12 (UPI) -- A preview of Detroit's North American International Auto Show revealed U.S. automakers are leaning on a hybrid car future.
General Motors Corp. unveiled 16 models, including an electric concept Cadillac Converj, the Detroit News reported Monday. Ford Motor Co. previewed a new strategy for moving toward electric power and Chrysler LLC unwrapped an electric performance sedan called the Chrysler 200C, the newspaper said.
"You can't look at the array of cars that we've brought on stage today and say these guys don't get it," said GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz.
Automakers will use the exhibition to show the public and Washington they are capable of making changes that will justify the billions of dollars in loans given to the industry in December, the newspaper said.
"In spite of the many challenges that we face, I can honestly say I have never been more excited about our prospects for the future," said Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford Jr., referring to the move to electric powered cars.
The preview "was GM's way of saying we're very much viable, and you've made a very good investment, America," said analyst Aaron Bragman of IHS Global Insight.

WASHINGTON — The Charlie Davies comeback story took a fairy tale turn Saturday evening.
Playing in a competitive match for the first time since the October 2009 car crash, Davies scored two goals, leading D.C. United to a 3-1 win.
HIGHLIGHTS: D.C. 3, Columbus 1
"He deserves every ounce of credit coming back and getting two goals," head coach Ben Olsen said after the game.
Davies entered in the 56th minute to an already fired-up D.C. United crowd. Josh Wolff had just scored to give United the lead when Davies came on as a replacement for Joseph Ngwenya, who had picked up a knock in the first half.
The chance to open his MLS account came just a few minutes later when Chris Pontius was fouled in the box.
"There was no discussion," Davies said. "I was taking that ball. I told Wolff right away, 'I'm taking this.' And Dax came over with the ball, and he handed it to me and says, 'We trust you and believe in you.' That says it all."
WATCH: Davies talks postgame
This was the moment that Davies had been waiting and working for.
"I was ready for this moment," he said. "I've been waiting such a long time for this exact moment—a year and five months. so it was finally here and I knew I was ready for it. I wanted to go out and succeed, not just go out there and work hard, I wanted to play hard and make an impact, and I was able to do that."
There were no doubts from McCarty either despite Davies' long layoff.
"His instincts are unlike anyone else I've ever played with," McCarty said. "I had 100 percent confidence, I knew when I gave him the ball he'd bury this, and that pretty much sealed the game for us right there."
Davies, who had gone through so much to make it back, took a short run up, calmly slotting his shot to the right as Crew 'keeper Will Hesmer dove the opposite way. It sent the crowd into rapture, and his teammates mobbed him in the corner.
The delirium escalated even further when Davies added a second in the 77th minute. It was a classic Davies goal. Crew defender Chad Marshall slipped while trying to deal with a long ball, and CD9 latched onto the loose ball, rounded Hesmer and slotted home for a second goal.
The RFK crowd, which had so profoundly saluted Davies the day after his horrific accident in October 2009, now saluted him for the second time on the night for much happier reasons.
"The support was overwhelming and, once that final whistle blew, and I looked at the fans, I lost it emotionally because their support meant so much to me," he said. "Throughout this whole process of me coming back as a player, they've stuck with me from the beginning to the end, until now."
While Davies will certainly enjoy his triumphant return to first-team action, he is not going to get too carried away.
"This is just the beginning, I got to keep that in mind and not get too high about this moment," he said. "Of course it's a very special moment to me."

I was sent WEN haircare items to try months and months ago, and finally – I'm ready to talk!
WEN is not like any shampoo you have used before. It's a conditioning shampoo which is super gentle and moisturising – it doesn't lather at all, and is a nice mix between cleanser and conditioner.
Here is Chaz Dean:
They say:
What sets WEN® apart from the rest is its cleansing conditioner, a single-step process that cleanses and conditions the hair simultaneously. The cleansers are made with natural ingredients, and contain no sodium laurel sulfate or other damaging detergents found in some shampoos. WEN® doesn't lather; rather, it creates smooth foam when mixed with water.
Yep – WEN doesn't lather at all, so it will feel like applying conditioner directly to the hair.
The other weird thing is the quantity you have to use – for example on medium length hair you use 8 pumps on the crown, 8 pumps on the nape sections and 8 pumps at the end of the hair – total 24-32 pumps. If you hair is short you will use less, on long hair you will use more.
You work the hair cleanser into the scalp, and hair then leave it for 3-5 minutes after a comb though. Rinse.
Sounds odd? Well it really is weird to begin with.
Here is the set:
The product is sold as a set for £24.99 (not including shipping which costs about £6.99).
You get:
1 x Cleansing Conditioner (350ml/12fl oz)
1 x Styling Crème (60ml/2fl oz)
1 x Moist Intensive Hair Treatment (56g/2fl oz)
1 x Texture Balm (10g / 0.35oz)
1 x Wide Tooth Comb
There is also a Deluxe kit which includes larger bottles and costs £49.95.
I think the cost is ok because you get quite a lot and if you are like me, you end spending a fortune on Shampoo anyway (I wash my hair every day!).
You can also get it in two scents, Sweet Almond (minty!) and Cucumber Aloe.
So basically, I used this until I ran out of the cleanser and conditioner and I have to say, it's a fab product.
It is so so so so so odd I have to admit because at first it doesn't feel like the hair is clean – once the product is properly rinsed out the hair does feel refreshed (mainly because of the mint!) although I would say that you have to be careful to wash it all out if you have fine hair.
My hair is wavy and can take heavier styling products, if you have fine hair, because this product is so thick and rich, and you use so much of it, it may feel like it's too much.
You do get a huge bottle though and it lasts about a month despite the fact you use so much of it:
On the plus side this product is super gentle. If you are giving your scalp a rest, as I like to, or if you have frazzled hair etc. this is so hydrating and soothing. It gives your hair and scalp a break from all that detergent.
It smells lovely too and is nice to use. My hair was shiny and soft afterwards, and no itchiness on my scalp.
Pros –
– Super gentle and hydrating
– Nice on the scalp
– You get lets of product
Cons –
– A little heavy
– You may not want/need everything in the introduction set (I barely used the styling creme and texture balm)
– Can't be bought in stores
Overall, this will NOT replace my regular shampoos – I still need that super clean feeling sometimes (especially after using styling products) and this is a little time consuming. However I will replace this product because it's a nice alternative to washing every single day – it's gentle and hydrating.

Since I'm sure she's incredibly busy, I'll just add that there is an "Outdoor Mod Podge" product now that is water resistant. Mod Podge is a glue and sealant all in one, and I've gotten things "wet" (and just wiped off) that I've used it on without a problem. But I think because it's in a place used a lot and near splatters, I'm guessing that's why she intends to add a topcoat of some kind.
If it was me (because I wouldn't want the paper to "yellow" as it might with an oil based product) I'd probably use a good "outdoor" water-based urethane product. The kind you could use on decks or furniture. I'd do a couple of coats and sand VERY lightly between coats to keep it smooth.
FABULOUS idea and tutorial!

This is awesome.
Just this weekend we had been to our local hardware store and they had some cool looking plastic backsplash (that looked like copper or metal) that came in sheets 18" X 24 for $21.99 ea. I loved the look and decided I would really like to put up something all around the kitchen but that would cost a small fortune.
I knew I could come up with a good DIY idea...and this post has really given me a lot of inspiration!
It looks Great!

PITTSTON TWP. — Township residents spoke in support of their ousted police chief and demanded answers on his firing from township supervisors at their Monday night meeting.
"The people of the township need to know why their chief isn't here," township resident Gene Garron, 79, said. "This is no longer a personnel problem, it involves an ex-employee."
Township residents filled the meeting room to support former township police chief Robert Avvisato, who township supervisors fired in July with little explanation.
"This is my chief," township resident Mari Martinelli said of Avvisato. "This man is trying to do something finally for this township."
Joe McNamara, another resident, demanded the reason for Avvisato's termination from supervisors on Monday night.
"We finally got a police chief that gave us presence (in town)," McNamara said. "Why fire him?"
Attorney Lars H. Anderson, the township's attorney in Avvisato's case, said he advised supervisors not to comment because the case is "an ongoing personnel issue."
Supervisors fired Avvisato at a special meeting in July. Since then, Avvisato has started an arbitration process to determine if he was wrongly terminated.
Township supervisor Stephen Rinaldi said the township is not looking for a new police chief during the arbitration process.
"If he (Avvisato) wins his case, he comes back," Rinaldi said. "We're not looking for a chief. We can't."
After the meeting, supporters gathered around Avvisato, who had watched the meeting from the last row of seats.
"I'm encouraged people came out here and expressed displeasure with the township," he said. "I came here to do a job, I felt like I was doing the right thing here."
Avvisato claimed he experienced a hostile work environment during his time as the township's police chief when another officer started sending him threatening letters.
Avvisato took command of the department in January 2013. In July, the board said Avvisato created a hostile work environment by engaging in threatening and aggressive behavior at the 14-officer department.
Avvisato said no date has been set for his arbitration hearing while he waits to hear from his attorney.

With the holidays in our rearview mirror and U.S. search advertising having enjoyed its best quarter ever, we are quickly approaching the travel industry's high season. Roughly 40 percent of the industry's annual impression volume takes place between May and August, leaving only a few months for travel marketers to get their accounts in order.
Historically, April showers bring a sharp rise in impression volume, while (along with flowers) clicks and spend pick up in May. Each remains at high levels through most of the summer, and tails off in August.
While this may be the equivalent of retail's Q4, the post holiday lull in travel search really ends in March, so the right strategies could start paying dividends now. Here are some areas travel marketers should focus on to prepare.
Geographic Breakouts
One of the most basic and potentially overlooked aspects of travel marketing is determining how well your markets perform geographically. By using reporting to understand these intricacies at a deeper level, we can isolate a market's individual performance.
Conversion, costs and return can vary by region, state or city. With the right strategy, you can spend to the ideal thresholds in specific markets – until you meet the point of diminishing returns. Implementing this strategy will increase impressions in the stronger performing markets, while reducing your investment in markets with lower margins and returns.
Mobile Campaign Breakout
For marketers engaging with mobile users, it is important to ensure that you're able to distinguish mobile's performance against other marketing channels. Mobile has proven to be an area of opportunity for travel, as the vertical continues to show double-digit growth in mobile search.
Taking the step of isolating performance by desktop and mobile will allow for greater improvements in optimization, as keyword performance varies drastically by device. Utilizing mobile as its own, unique channel will increase your presence in a competitive, digital travel industry, while preparing you for future growth and gaining customers on the move.
Location Extensions
Marketers can benefit from AdWords Ad Extensions. Location Extensions, which have statistically proven to boost CTR while increasing your real estate at the top of Google's SERP, is a clear win for travel advertisers.
Whether it's making your brand more visible or literally putting your business on the map, Location Extensions present a variety of new opportunities and every advertiser should take advantage.
Places (and all its Offshoots)
Google Places offers travel marketers something free and highly visible. As Google touts, Maps offers "basic information about a business, from the address and phone number, to how to get there by public transportation, and even the price of a restaurant's average entrée."
Business owners are able to update their pages, photos and videos at any time, while also providing ways for users to share business info with "print, email or link" options.
Inventory/Yield Optimization
Most travel-related businesses face seasonality and under/over-bookings, which can cause unmanaged search campaigns to drive traffic to offers without actual availability. Actively managing SEM around inventory is a daunting challenge, but can be rewarding with the right approach.
Determining the factors which will help you optimize based on inventory is different for each brand. Options consist of pausing markets at certain conversion rate thresholds, setting daily market spend levels, or incrementally bidding on keywords based on higher inventory or AOV. Whether you choose to address one of these factors or utilize a blend of factors, there are efficiencies to be found when managing by inventory.
Some marketers will choose to focus on conversion rate drops by market and pause those markets as inventory diminishes; however, this can cause some volatility. Marketers may see more stability when they focus on optimization by adjusting daily spend levels based on open inventory, or bidding up keywords with more inventories. Managing by search inventory works best with a mixture of strategies, and will factor in weight or percentage in optimization for inventory levels.
Put Some Spring in Your Step
Although these strategies have proven to impact the travel vertical, not all marketers will benefit from every one of them. To best understand the potential impact for your business, now is the time to start testing. By fertilizing your search garden with time and resources now you will be rewarded with beautiful spring flowers of qualified leads and sales.

AMERICUS - Senior defender Nicole Hudson scored her first collegiate goal and sophomore Julia Wells added another to pull the Georgia Southwestern women's soccer team within a goal (3-2) in the second half only to watch Columbus State answer with the final two scores of the match for a 5-2 victory on Wednesday afternoon at Hurricane Field.
GSW entered the contest scoreless against the Lady Cougars since the annual matchup began in 2006.
Kansas Bayly scored the first two goals of the match to give CSU (7-3-2, 2-2-1 PBC) a 2-0 lead 20 minutes in. Josefin de Broen gave the Lady Cougars a three-goal lead in the 24th minute off of a GSW turnover inside the box.
The Lady Hurricanes began their comeback late in the first half when Hudson gathered a loose ball 20 yards out and sailed a shot over CSU goalkeeper Mary Mancin.
GSW made things interesting out of the break when Wells gathered a deflected feed from Zada Hyatt, drove along the left side of the box and rifled a shot far post for her second goal of the season.
Kelsey Pelletier gave CSU some breathing room in the 65th minute with her goal and Stephanie Lowery converted a penalty kick in the 87th minute to complete the scoring.
CSU held a manageable 9-5 advantage in shots on goal. GSW goalkeeper Amber Bahri stopped four. Mancin saved two for the Lady Cougars and Katlin Stephens saved one during her 45 minutes of play.
It was the first multi-goal match for GSW in conference play since a 2-1 win at Lander on Oct. 7, 2006.
The Lady Hurricanes (3-8, 0-3 PBC) hit the road for a pair of matches, the first coming Saturday at 7:30 p.m. against USC Aiken.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsFeatured Vehicles
1988 Ford Mustang LX - Rising Son
Street Fox - Matt Baker became a dad and cooked up this coupe to inspire his boy
Horse Sense: Not only did the '91-'93 Mustangs receive updated front fenders to accommodate the larger, 16-inch five-spoke wheels of that era, but these cars also have reshaped inner fender liners to make room for those storied hoops.
When a baby is on the way, people suddenly feel the weight of the world on their shoulders. They brace themselves for the social and financial responsibilities of bringing a new citizen into the world. At least that's what you hope they do, because, as Chris Rock so eloquently put it, "You are supposed to take care of your kids."
The changes can be big and small. Moms often feel the need to change their hairstyles to keep baby from pulling on them, and dads feel the pressure to get rid of their toy cars and park a minivan in the driveway. Fortunately, such measures aren't really mandatory. A child seat does fit in a Mustang, and there are always some of us that like to go against the grain.
Matt Baker has that hot-rodders rebellious streak combined with a true-blue love for Mustangs, and, more importantly, his son. "For car guys, it's the one excuse you hope you never have to use: Must sell—baby on the way. It's the reason for some smoking deals in the car hobby.
"Over the years I've heard about the arrival of a kid causing the departure of many hot rods, dream cars, and toys. Well, for me, the announcement of our son, Kelby, brought about the realization that it doesn't have to be that way," Matt explained. "Why not buy a project vehicle and over the course of a few years, build a build a car that makes a lasting impression on a kid?"
A lasting impression is something every good dad hopes to leave on his offspring. Sure you want to raise your children to be responsible, productive adults. Perhaps an even more important message is to impose upon our children to pursue life, liberty, and happiness. And, after all, what can make you happier than building up a Mustang? "In other words, make sure that some of his first memories include a loud, fast, and eye-catching car that gets him interested in what's going on out in the garage," Matt added.
There was far more than minivan oil changes going on in Matt's garage. He went after his new project Fox with fervor. That he had a daily driver probably meant that he went a little overboard for his inspirational Fox. "The first engine combo that I built for the project took about a year to complete, and it consisted of an E85, blow-through-carburetor, and a custom turbo setup with a 67mm Precision turbo by my friend Ray Yip of Fusion Works Racing," Matt continued. "All this was backed by a C4 with a full-manual valvebody and a 'brake. While this combo was fairly fast, it was not as much fun as I hoped. You see, it wasn't exactly kid or street friendly. I could never even think of strapping my kid in a car like that."
The upside of the Fox's radical nature is that it started to garner some attention from the young man that inspired its creation. However, it wasn't the only car vying for his affection. "...Two years into the build my son was beginning to take notice of the noisy hot rod in the garage. But he seemed more interested in my mildly modified '98 Cobra daily driver that he rode in all the time," Matt said. "Interest in the 'Cobah' quickly faded when we traded it off, which caused him to quickly shift his total attention to the blue coupe. At that same time, I found myself missing the fun of driving the Cobra, so back to the drawing board I went."
On that board was a map right back to streetability. An aerospace trainer by trade, Matt knows how to put a plan together. He drew up a new combo with a five-speed, fuel injection, and pump gas. Matt found a local Fox owner willing to accept his drivetrain in trade for a Tremec TKO five-speed, a McLeod clutch, a Pro-5.0 shifter and everything necessary to convert to a manual-trans setup. He also removed the drag-oriented suspension gear and replaced it with street-friendly parts from Granatelli and Maximum. This final phase of the project took another year, and both the project and its inspiration, Kelby, were three years old.
"Today my 3-year-old expects us to take the car everywhere. He always talks to people about the blue coupe, and is constantly finding ways to bring it up in a conversation no matter what the discussion topic," Matt said. "His favorite thing to do is cinch down the five-point Sparcos, and ride shotgun wherever our destination may be. On Fridays we take it to the local cruise night, and while it may not be as fast as it once was, it's still capable of hanging with our '14 GT, and to him it's the fastest thing on four wheels."
Photo GalleryView Photo Gallery
In the end, Matt is rightfully proud of his creation, and you'd have to agree that the project turned out great, and his reason for doing it was even more inspirational than the car.
"I think I did alright," Matt concluded. "I built a car that I hoped would introduce my son to the hobby I enjoy, and now I have someone to share it with."
You did better than alright, Matt. You have our vote for Father of the Year.

Classification M Region1 PAL
Over 13 million American kids will be bullied this year, making it the most common form of violence experienced by young people in the nation. The new documentary film Bully, directed by Sundance and Emmy-award winning filmmaker Lee Hirsch, brings human scale to this startling statistic, offering an intimate, unflinching look at how bullying has touched five kids and their families.
Bully is a beautifully cinematic, character-driven documentary. At its heart are those with huge stakes in this issue whose stories each represent a different facet of America's bullying crisis. Filmed over the course of the 2009/2010 school year, Bully opens a window onto the pained and often endangered lives of bullied kids, revealing a problem that transcends geographic, racial, ethnic and economic borders. It documents the responses of teachers and administrators to aggressive behaviours that defy "kids will be kids" clichs, and it captures a growing movement among parents and youths to change how bullying is handled in schools, in communities and in society as a whole.

The NBA is perhaps the number one reason to watch TNT, thanks to their partnership. It's safe to say every man has some sort of NBA moment that altered the way we enjoy sports. Thanks NBA.

One late April evening I was in a peated scotch whiskey mood. That's somewhat rare. I'm not overly fond of peaty whiskies. I tend to feel the phenols overpower the subtle sweetness and fruitiness of the malt. There are a few that I do enjoy however. On this particular evening I was sipping the last of my Compass Box Flaming Heart, and moving my way into a pour of Compass Box Peat Monster. What I enjoy about these two whiskies is the peat presence is absolutely felt, but not at the expense of the malt, the fruit, and the toffee. In short they are balanced.
As I continued sipping, pondering Compass Box's ways with the art of blending whiskey, I thought, "Geez, why doesn't a distiller or independent bottler in the U.S. get a hold of some peated malt whiskey to add to a bourbon blend?" To me it just made sense – the rich, sweet, and sometimes spicy qualities of the bourbon seems like a perfect compliment to the smoky quality of a well made peated malt. I quickly dismissed the thought, "that would be way too costly."
About a week later I received an email from David Perkins, proprietor of High West Saloon and Distillery. After a relatively tame 2011 (by High West standards) Perkins and co. were working on a new whiskey release called Campfire Whiskey. David explained that High West had finished the blending of 3 different batches of Campfire Whiskey and wondered if I would be interested in trying them along with some fellow enthusiasts.
A sample tasting ensued and I was able to try each of the blends. My favorite, oddly enough, happened to be the one (Sample C) with the highest percentage of peated whiskey in the blend. High West however was going after a much more subtle peat influence, and selected Sample A for public release. In hindsight – probably the smarter move, but more on that later.
Here's the gist of Campfire Whiskey. Its a blend of a six year old bourbon distilled and aged at Midwest Grain Products (Formerly Lawrenceburg Distillers Indiana or LDI), a 5.5 year old rye whiskey also distilled at the former LDI and aged in the upper floors of the famed Stitzel Weller Warehouses in Kentucky, and finally an 8 year old peated Scotch whiskey from the Scottish mainland. Global blending anyone???
David Perkins is not at liberty to divulge the origins of the peated whiskey based on agreements (understandings rather) with the source distillery. And honestly, I'm sure some will complain about that, but I can live with not knowing. What I do know is High West is the first American Distillery (that I can recall) to produce a blended whiskey of this type.
It's a wildly unconventional blend, and has a name that pays homage to the peat contained within. How does it taste?
High West Campfire Whiskey, 46% abv (92 Proof), $49.99/bottle
Color: Deep Golden/Amber
Nose: Bright and fruity up front with a tang of honey, golden dried fruits (apricot, apple, peach), hints of cinnamon, toffee, and only a lingering peat smoke note. The peat is faint as a whisper on the nose, but very much threaded throughout.
Palate: The bourbon and rye influence is felt first, balancing honey, dried golden fruits, and vanilla with a spark of the rye spices. There's a bit more "zip" in the spice quotient on the palate. As these flavors fade, the smoke and peat adds a great deal of interest and needed complexity.
Finish: Quite fruity with lingering peat and a smoky quality.
Overall: Leave it to a bunch of whiskey outlaws in Utah to spit in the eye of conventional whiskey blending. The result is without question one of the most groundbreaking whiskeys of recent years. Overly dramatic? I don't think so. High West has managed to "mingle" (Jim Rutledge term) global whiskeys into something that stands on it's own. It's not overly complex, but it works well together. I know what you may be thinking. This is a gimmick right? No, it's not. Rather than be heavy handed with the peat, High West has shown a great deal of restraint with Campfire. The result is a whiskey that is livened up and made far more interesting with a kiss of peat. Unlike the name implies – there's no fire here, just great whiskey.
Sour Mash Manifesto Rating: 9.0 (Superb/Outstanding)

Before I was pregnant, I use to dream up creative ways I'd tell my husband, Jason. We both were equally excited to become parents I really wanted to make it special for us. We had been trying for a few months and on July 7, 2010, I woke up not feeling like myself. I went to work and decided I'd take a test when I got home. I guess a woman's intuition is right because there I was, sitting in my bedroom, holding a stick that read "pregnant."
I immediately started crying, I jumped up and down, paced the hallways, bursting with a happiness that I just can't explain. Jason was working late that day, so I took a few more tests, just to be sure. I didn't have time to plot out a surprise so I found wrapping paper and wrapped up two of the tests. I sat by the window like a little kid on Christmas morning waiting for him to come home.
As soon as he walked in, I handed him my gift and said "I saw this and thought about you, I think you'll like it." I intently watched him as he opened it, wondering what he was thinking, knowing our lives suddenly changed for the better. He didn't quite get it at first but when he looked at me I smiled and started crying, and he knew. It was such a special day I will never forget.
Every expectant mom has a story and I wanted to find out how others announced their big news. So I reached out to our Twitter and Facebook fans and asked them to share their stories of how they told their loved ones they were expecting. Grab a tissue, these are some great experiences!
Cupid's surprise
Actually my husband was the one to call and tell me I was pregnant. The doctor's office was supposed to call me at 3 with the results but he couldn't wait. So he called my doctor and then called me with the results. That was Feb. 14, 2000; we ended up having twins!
-Christy Casagrande Feola, via Facebook
Text it
I texted my family a picture of a nursery set, baby clothes, etc. until they caught on. LOL.
-Melody Marrone, via Facebook
Big sister stunt
I had my oldest daughter, who was 1 at the time, walk into my mother's house with a shirt on underneath her jacket that said "Guess who's going to be a big sister?" I kept her jacket on for a good five minutes before my mother was like "Why is this poor kid's jacket still on?" She then took the coat off and found the wonderful news. Sadly, I miscarried at 5 months, but telling my mother and seeing the look on her face was priceless. Since then we were able to conceive one more and now I'm the proud mother of two beautiful little girls.
-Jessica Sheehan Priola, Farmingville
An Irish blessing
After a trip to Ireland to meet my husband's family, we came home with a possible "bun in the oven." A month later we stayed at the Fitzgerald, an Irish hotel in New York City for my birthday. I had taken a home pregnancy test a couple of days before and it was positive! So I bought a pair of baby boy and baby girl shoes, along with a plain brown box. Once we got to the hotel, my husband excused himself to the bathroom and I quickly grabbed the box and set it on the table. It took a few minutes to notice it and he thought it was left by the last guest. He opened the box, saw the shoes and looked over at me. I couldn't help but smile and he immediately knew! His expression was priceless; the night was amazing and we were blessed nine months later with our beautiful Irish princess, Kayleigh Mae Murphy.
-Katie Johnson Murphy, Nassau County
Belated birthday gift
I wrapped a baby bottle in birthday wrapping paper and told my husband I just found one of his gifts I misplaced. Surprise!
-Joyce Minnerly Davis, via Facebook
'Grand' mail
A few years back when my daughter was expecting our very first grandchild, she gave me a birthday card from the baby and it was signed, "see you in nine months grandma!"
-Carol Kosark Southard, via Facebook
A good deal
I was in the hospital getting my seizures monitored. We were playing cards and I told him he should write 'Daddy' instead of his name on the scoring papers. I told my Mom with a card titled, "To Nana."
-Ellamarie Johnson, Mastic Beach
Seeing double
When I was pregnant with my son, I simply walked into the computer room/office and said to my husband, "Look at this, I think I'm seeing things." He looked at the test and sure enough saw the two lines and said "Yep, I think I'm seeing things as well." We were shocked and so excited. We invited our parents over a few nights later and gave each mom a late Mother's Day gift. I took pictures of my HPTs (LOL) and framed them as the gift. It was awesome; the reactions were priceless! With my daughter, I told my husband "I'm pregnant. Going to buy a test." A little while later, sure enough, got the two lines. We just called our parents, but, to announce it to the rest of friends/family we had our son change into "PJs" (his big brother shirt) and see who would notice first. It took everyone a little while before one of my girlfriends finally said "Awww what a cute shirt . . . wait . . . Oh My God...You're pregnant!" I wish I had all the reactions on video -- it was awesome!
-Dawn Wick Brynes, via Facebook
Say it with a sono
I made my husband a card and taped the positive test onto it. For my parents, I gave them a Christmas card with a photo from my first sonogram with a message balloon attached to it saying "see you in 9 months."
-Kimberly Siemasko Somers, via Facebook
Sneaky scavenger hunt
I set up a scavenger hunt for my 4-year-old daughter in the house. I had my husband take her through it and the last clue led to his pillow which had the positive test. Since we had a 5-month-old as well, he was shocked. Shortly thereafter we found out we were having twins. Since it was October, I had a shirt made with two pumpkins that said '"Grandma and Grandpa's Dozen" (they are the 11th and 12th grandkids) and that's how we told my family.
-Nicole Barraco Valente, via Facebook
Picture this
My husband was working but I couldn't wait for him to get home to take the test. So when it came back positive, I took a picture of it and texted it to him. Needless to say, he was extremely excited!
-Kristin Mirando-Gelzinis, via Facebook
Spring fling
We were expecting our fourth child, a boy after three girls, and I wanted to wait until after I had an amniocentesis to share the news with my mom. It was Easter day and we brought over an Easter basket for my her with some chocolate candy and one plastic egg. Inside the egg were the results of the amnio, just as we had received it from the doctor. In other words, somewhat hard to decipher if you don't realize what you are looking at. When my mom opened the egg, she had no clue what it was. My husband, myself and my three daughters (ages 12, 10 and 4) sat on the couch in excited anticipation of her figuring it out. She saw the word "male" and asked if it was something about my brother. Then she asked if it was something relating to my husband. She could not, for the life of her, figure out what it was. Finally we had to tell her and she was so excited! My mom has since passed away, but it is one of the really fun memories we have of her.
-Donna Barth Regensburger, via Facebook
A memorable bouquet
We received a bouquet of flowers and the card said, "Dear Grandma and Grandpa, can't wait to meet you in January." It's a moment I will never forget.
-Debra Tubito Cherpock, originally from Oceanside
Digital announcement
I called my family but I took one of those digital tests and texted them a picture of it saying "pregnant."
-Janet Marino Whalen, via Facebook
Creative cousin
I made a onesie for my niece that said "I'm going to be a big cousin." It took a while for my in-laws to even realize what it said, but the result was amazing!
-Kristen Kearns Burke, Malverne
Family fun
For my brother, we gave him a belated wedding gift that was a onesie that said "If you think I'm cute, you should see my uncle." For my parents, we waited until their anniversary and wrote "Happy anniversary Grandma and Grandpa" on the cake. My mom cried!
-Leslie Kolstein DiChiara, Wantagh
Big brother tee
I took a picture of the pregnancy test and texted it out to our families. I also took a pic of my son in a "Big Brother" shirt and emailed that out to friends and family.
-Kristyna McMahon Acerno, Sayville
Baby daddy
We told my parents, brother and sister by showing up to a breakfast with my hubby wearing a "baby daddy" T-shirt I had made. I waited for someone to notice and question it. We told his parents with me wearing a T-shirt I had made that said "little bambino on the way" (they didn't notice so we had to ask them to read the shirt). We told our friends via text message of my hubby in his T-shirt.
-Maria Lazzinnaro-Condello, New Hyde Park
Holiday cheer
I bought small "stones" in a local Irish store that said "grandma," "grandpa," and "godmother." I wrapped them up for Christmas and gave them to my family. They each still have them.
-Maureen Ryan, Brooklyn
Shell shocked
I was still on the toilet when I called my husband ... I couldn't believe it!
-Bonnie Kandell, via Facebook
Bun in the oven -- literally
It was the first cold night of the season. I made chili and had buns in the oven toasting to fill with chili and cheese. My husband came home and I asked him to get the buns out of the oven (the pregnancy stick was on the cookie sheet with them -- on a napkin of course!).
-Nicole Perrotta Treanor, Levittown
Sock it to me
I went out and bought a pair of those baby socks that say "I (Heart) Daddy" on them. I wrapped them up and made him open it when he got home. I told him they made me think of him at the store ... he looked so confused so I said you are going to be a daddy!
-Deirdre Remy, via Facebook
A grateful dessert
We showed an image of our ultrasound on a iPad to everyone on Thanksgiving during dessert. I'm not really into the cheesy sentimental stuff.
-Laura Ryan Moakley, via Facebook
Apple of my eye
I made a onesie with an Apple logo "ibaby" printed on it. I'm a huge Apple nerd, so it was appropriate!
-@Effie1025, West Babylon
A rockin' gift
My husband and I told my father-in-law by giving him a gift bag with a card that said "Grandpa, hope to rock with you soon. Love, Baby" and inside we put a onesie that said "Sleep all day, Pottie all night." He put the onesie on his chest saying it didn't fit and then it hit him that he was going to be a grandpa. The onsie was appropriate since he's the drummer for the tribute band Ozzmossis.
-Madalyn Totoro , Freeport
Good fortune
My husband and I were so excited to tell our family we were pregnant! This would be the first grandchild on both sides so it was an exciting time. We decided to tell everyone on my husband's birthday. He requested Chinese food for dinner so we decided to have custom fortune cookies baked with a message inside that said "We're having a baby." I swapped out the regular fortune cookies with our special ones before anyone saw. We waited until everyone ate dinner (the longest wait ever!). After dinner, we passed out the cookies and no one said a word! My sister was the first one to open it and read her "fortune." She screamed and just started hugging me and everyone was so confused. We then told everyone to open their fortunes, too, and finally they all caught on. It was one of the best moments ever. We had a baby boy March 2010 -- he is my world!
-Lisa Szchur, East Patchogue
A true miracle
When I was pregnant with our first child, I had my husband go to the doctor with me not knowing why. He thought something was wrong but my doctor knew I wanted to surprise my husband. When we got into the exam room, I pulled a package out of my bag and gave it to him. He opened it and stared at it for a moment. It was a picture frame with 3 boxes; one had his picture, one had mine, and one was a random baby picture. He teared up with a great big smile on his face. Our first child was a true miracle -- we were told we could never have kids. My husband was ill and due to his illness, [we thought we] couldn't have children. When we were expecting our second son, we told our family on New Year's Eve by having our 2-year-old give everyone a gift to open and they had to open it all at once. They were confused at first. The gift was a baby doll -- they got the picture!
-Connie Kenter, Riverhead
Third times a charm
Funny how this question came up. I've been contemplating all week how to share the exciting news with my spouse, that, once again, we're expecting! So my plan goes like this: I bought a pink and blue balloon which I tied around a neutral rattle that said "Soon to be dad of 3" and I put them in our car, stuffed into a plastic shopping bag and into an oversized reusable bag which I will present to my husband during dinner. This is our third and may be our last pregnancy, and I want it to be memorable!*
-Melissa K., Islip Terrace
*Update: He was totally surprised!

I would like to express my opposition to the Waste Management/Griffin Brothers landfill in the Kershaw area and my support of the Lancaster County Action Council.
As an advocate of transparency and open government, I feel that the process that led to the decision to allow for the change of this landfill from its original intent to a landfill handling household waste was flawed and not transparent to the citizens of Lancaster County.

SanDisk Expands Mobile Line with Larger Capacities of miniSD and microSD Cards To Store Hundreds of Songs That Can Be Played on Phones and Personal Computers
LAS VEGAS, NV, JAN. 5, 2006 - SanDisk® Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) announced today that Verizon Wireless Communications Stores will sell SanDisk's newest and highest capacity flash memory cards for mobile phones in anticipation of consumer demand for Verizon Wireless' new V CAST Music service. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), where SanDisk is demonstrating several new products at Booth 30329, Level 3 of the South Hall in the Las Vegas Convention Center.
SanDisk is unveiling a microSD™ card - the world's smallest flash memory card - with a 1 gigabyte (GB)* capacity. Originally developed by SanDisk and formerly known as TransFlash™, the fingernail-sized card will be able to store up to 32 hours of WMA-compressed music -- or approximately 480 songs** -- downloaded from Verizon Wireless' V CAST Music service to compatible phones. The 1GB microSD card, which SanDisk introduced today, will be available in the United States initially through Verizon Wireless. The card comes with an adapter allowing it to be used in a standard SD™ slot. The previous highest capacity for the SanDisk microSD was 512 megabytes (MB)*.
SanDisk also expanded its mobile line today by introducing a SanDisk 2GB miniSD card (up from 1GB) with the aim of accommodating consumers' increasing demand for accessing photos, music and video on their phone. SanDisk's suggested retail prices for the newest cards are $119.99 for the 1GB microSD and $199.99 for the 2GB miniSD.
"We believe that 2006 will be a milestone year for network operators and handset manufacturers to provide consumers with an array of content that can be downloaded virtually anywhere, anytime on their mobile phones," said Jeff Kost, SanDisk's vice-president of handset business. "Flash card slots in mobile phones are proliferating in response to new usages and services, which are driving the demand for higher capacity memory. We are delighted to supply Verizon Wireless with our highest capacity cards to give their customers the storage they will need when acquiring tracks from the V CAST Music service."
Using the Microsoft Windows Media platform, V CAST Music runs on Verizon Wireless' broadband network. The library of music is expected to include one million songs by spring from major labels such as Warner Music Group, EMI Music, Universal, Sony/BMG and independent provider, The Orchard.
Verizon Wireless customers will be able to download songs over the air and store them on SanDisk flash cards, where they can be played on the phone as well as transferred to a Microsoft Windows-based personal computer. V CAST Music will allow customers to take their own digital music from their PCs and sync it to their handsets.
"SanDisk's high-capacity memory cards allow Verizon Wireless customers to optimize their experience," said Patrick Bucci, Verizon Wireless director of accessory products. "Our customers have the flexibility to choose as much memory as they need to take advantage of the V CAST Music service. SanDisk offers the highest capacity cards available to store our users' personal music, pictures and videos on their phone."
Verizon Wireless plans to launch V CAST Music on January 16 with several phones, including the Samsung a950 and the LG VX8100. Both are clamshell V CAST-enabled phones with 1.3 megapixel digital cameras. The Samsung a950 has a microSD card slot that features an external thumb dial to select music files; the LG VX8100 has a miniSD card slot.
SanDisk introduced its line of mobile cards and MobileMate™ portable flash card readers in Verizon Wireless Communications Stores in the last quarter of 2005. They are sold in co-branded Verizon Wireless/SanDisk packaging. The new SanDisk 1GB microSD and 2GB miniSD mobile line flash memory cards are expected to be available through those stores in February.
Verizon Wireless was the first wireless company to launch a wireless broadband multimedia service when it introduced V CAST in February, 2005. Its award-winning wireless broadband network is the most robust in the United States. The V CAST coverage area, which mirrors the company's wireless broadband network, is currently available to 150 million Americans in 180 major metropolitan markets.
SanDisk is the original inventor of flash storage cards and is the world's largest supplier of flash data storage card products, using its patented, high-density flash memory and controller technology. SanDisk is headquartered in Sunnyvale, CA and has operations worldwide, with more than half its sales outside the U.S.
* 1 megabyte (MB) = 1 million bytes; 1gigabyte (GB) = 1 billion bytes.
** Approximate playback at 64kbps for WMA, with figures based on four minutes per song.

Top bonding
Top binding is defined as a second application of a bonding agent during the manufacture of coated abrasives. It is laid over the base bond material attaching the grains to the backing material. The main purpose of the top binding also referred to as size coat is to anchor the abrasive grain firmly to the bond.
It is primarily intended to provide additional support against lateral forces to which the grain is subjected constantly during the grinding process. One of its secondary effects is that it gives the product its typical colour.
Type and quantity of the top binding agent have a significant impact on the grinding performance of an abrasive. Klingspor always uses a resin to produce the top binding on their abrasives as this bonding agent offers significantly higher strength and adhesion than glue binders or other natural binding agents and, thus, delivers noticeably enhanced grain adhesion and higher grinding performance. The quantity of the top binding agent is laid down for each type in the recipe and adapted to and optimised for the corresponding application. Klingspor constantly monitors the application of the top binding during the production of coated abrasives using laser measurements and also performs process-accompanying weight measurements on defined samples to accurately verify the compliance with the specifications given in the recipe.
The top binding plays a pivotal role in all coated abrasives, especially in abrasive belts due to the high cutting speeds and the great amount of stress to which they are subjected. Adding certain ingredients to the top binding makes it possible to enhance the properties of abrasive belts even further and to make them ideally suited for the applications for which they are used, e.g. addition of grinding active fillers to LS 312 JF, CS 411 Y and similar tools for stainless steel processing

So today we'll be taking a look at the process of reforging and how that works.
The new reforging system is one in which you can reduce the amount of one of the stats on your gear and add on some secondary stats that aren't currently present on the item.
The problem with the reforging system lies with the fact that the primary tanking stat is stamina but stamina is present on pretty much every single item you can possibly find, making it impossible for you to reforge for it.
The good thing about this system is that it actually helps you shore up your weaker stats and allows you to focus a lot more exclusively on stamina.
Things like hit and expertise rating are good choices. Under normal circumstances, you would find yourself sacrificing gem slots to hit the caps for your expertise and hit ratings but most of those choices are only made because you have to make them anyway. Plainly speaking, if you were already at your hit and expertise caps, you wouldn't have to settle for the slightly inferior gem to reach those caps.
To be sure, there are a few cases where the socket bonus is good enough to make that sacrifice, but in most cases, you shoot for the socket bonus to lessen the blow of not being able to gem for stamina.
Those days are now over. In most cases, you'll find that you'll be able to just gem straight stamina and shore up the weaker caps to hit using the reforging system.
The main question then, for most tanks that are at the level cap and have been doing that job for a while is what to reforge for if you're already at your hit and expertise caps?
The answer is simple but the reasoning can be a little complex.
Basically, you want to reforge for whatever stat's lowest between your Parry, Dodge and Mastery.
Life as a prot warrior has turned into nothing but a big balancing act. Because of the way diminishing returns work, you don't want to just force feed yourself one avoidance stat, no matter how good it is because with every successive point you get less and less returns on it.
The best way to deal with reforging once you're at your hit and expertise caps it to just use it to keep yourself balanced. If you get a new piece of gear that shoots up your dodge, reforge some more useless stats (such as extra hit or expertise) into parry rating. And vice versa for dodge.
Keeping your growth as even as possible between your defensive stats will ensure that you remain a favourite amongst your healers.
Too much avoidance will give your healers heart attacks as your health spikes up and down and not enough avoidance with a focus on mitigation will turn you into a mana sponge.
Balance is the key and the reforging system is something that's incredibly effective in allowing you to maintain that balance so you should be sure to take advantage of that..
