With PPC competition continually growing, more and more advertisers are trying to see if the PPC model works for them. In doing so, the PPC landscape has turned out some impersonal and rather cold adverts. Let's take a look at 5 ways any PPC advertiser can and should aim for a more intimate setting with their PPC campaign.
1. Make your ad copy very personal. When information is viewed as cold and impersonal it is not likely to result in a click. When a searcher feels like the information is written just for him or her, clicks are increased.
2. Geo-target your PPC campaign's ad groups with state, metro, and even neighborhood-friendly ad copy. Customers love to "keep it local" offline, and that same sentiment carries over to the online world. Plus you can customize your bids and landing pages for each locale within your campaign.
3. Treat mobile searches as just that, mobile. Make your ad copy relevant to someone on the go and in need of something a bit more immediate. Also, make your mobile landing page content centered on contact (phone, email) and directions. And since mobile users have a much smaller screen, format your landing pages to be clean, concise, and without clutter.
4. Make sure your PPC campaign conveys the same messaging as other forms of offline advertising do. TV advertising drives more information-driven searches than any form of advertising. Make sure you take into account what your ads are saying on TV when you put together your PPC ad copy and landing pages.
5. Make your landing pages as relevant as possible to the user's search query. Don't simply send every user to the same generic landing page. Send them to the exact product or service page they are in search of. Even if you only sell 5 different products all within the same tight niche, by segmenting your users to the absolutely most relevant page, you will see an increased conversion rate and you will have more specific data to analyze about each of your products individually.
By taking these tips and applying them to your current PPC campaign you will more than likely see a considerable lift in conversions with a noticeable drop in budget. Since the dawn of advertising, companies have been trying to acquire long-term customers, and making them feel like family with friendly, highly targeted ads at just the correct moment is an ideal way to continue this thought process online and particularly with PPC.

Click Here!SNOW HILL -- On Wednesday, Worcester County celebrated its 39th Annual Technology Festival at Snow Hill Middle School (SHMS), featuring projects from every school and grade level in the county in fields from photography to interactive media to computer-aided design.
According to Tech Fest Chair Sandy Buchanan, the day gives students with a passion for technology a creative outlet and a chance to compete with like-minded individuals.
"We have a lot of creative students and they, of course, get more tech savvy every year," she said. "This is just to kind of highlight what they come up with."
There were six different categories of competition this year: Through the Lens, which featured photography; On Screen media presentations; Computer Programming; On Line interactive projects; On Paper, which included signs, posters, and banners; and Through CAD (computer-aided design).
While the principles of the Tech Fest have endured since the beginning, Buchanan admitted that the event has changed significantly with the advances in technology.
"I think originally that it started out as photography," she said.When it began the Tech Fest served as a preliminary before a larger state event, according to Buchanan. It has since become a standalone festival with no state connection. That, however, has allowed it to grow and add new events to keep up with the march of technology.
Even in fields that seem a bit stone age, Buchanan explained that tech plays a big part."So everything has some kind of technology integration in it, even the photography," she said.
This year there were 515 submissions from 188 different students in grades Pre-K through 12. Because of the large number of submissions, winners were divided both by category and grade. Buchanan said that she was impressed with the number and the range of projects this year and remarked on how they represent a huge leap forward from some of the early Tech Fest events, where stop-motion photography was considered cutting edge.
"A lot of things have changed," she said.Buchanan added that the 188 students making submissions were "a nice, diverse group spread out throughout the county."
While the Tech Fest no longer leads to a special state competition, Buchanan noted that many schools in the county set up private displays for their winners. There are also outside technology festivals that individual projects can enter.
All projects received a ribbon for participation. Several also were acknowledged as silver ribbon winners.
The top projects in each field won gold ribbons and are as follows listed by project name, student name and school:

As Koral writes:
"The Yiddish poet and writer Avrom Sutzkever is considered to be the greatest Yiddish poet of modern times, and the greatest post-War Jewish poet. He was born in the town of Smorgon, Lithuania in 1913, near the city of Vilnius (Vilna). Vilna, the venerable center of a great flowering of Jewish cultural and intellectual life, became his enduring spiritual and creative home. Already prior to WW II, he enjoyed a well-established reputation as a member of the literary group Yung Vilna (Young Vilna).The body of work that he then produced under hellish circumstances in the Vilna Ghetto is both rigorous lyrical poetry as well as a magnificent artistic witnessing of the systematic destruction of Jewish Vilna. During this period, at risk of death, he was instrumental in rescuing many rare Jewish books and manuscripts that were otherwise destined for nefarious ends by the Nazis. In 1943 he escaped to the partisans and then to Moscow, subsequently serving as a witness at the Nuremberg trials.
In 1947, he emigrated to Israel, where he continued his efforts to safeguard what remained of Yiddish language and culture. He founded the literary group of Yiddish writers, Yung Yisroel (Young Israel), as well as Di Goldene Keyt (The Golden Chain), the leading Yiddish literary journal, which he edited from 1949 to 1995. Sutzkever was awarded the Israel Prize in 1985, the only Yiddish poet to have received this honor. His good friend Marc Chagall was also an illustrator of Sutzkever's poetry.
In addition to undertaking to memorialize through his oeuvre both the glories and devastations of Jewish Vilna, his many published works address a wide array of themes, including life in Israel, metaphysical and artistic inquiries, and lyrical celebrations of the natural world.
Sutzkever's poetry in general is a challenge to translate well because of its often extraordinary musicality (sounds and cadences) and multifaceted concepts dealing with spirituality, creativity, and the ephemerality of human experience. He also is known for enriching the language of his poems with words that he coined and with those no longer in use from Old Yiddish. In other words, much of this uniqueness inherent in the original cannot help but be lost in translation. In spite of these translating challenges, English translations of Sutzkever's poetry can be found in numerous anthologies, collected works, and in The New Yorker.
The two Sutzkever poems translated here were written in the Vilna Ghetto and have the challenge less of complex language than of keeping some of the rhythm and rhyme of the original while adhering as much as possible to the poems' exact wording and compact power in depicting acts of spiritual resistance in inhumane situations."

Stewart International Aiport has served as a dispatch area for men and supplies being used to combat Irene.
Roughly 175 ambulences arrived at the Air National Guard base Friday, and were dispatched throughout the day Saturday to move elderly residents living in low-lying areas, said National Guard spokesman Eric Durr.
Approximately 45 Air National Guardsmen from the Niagra Falls wing arrived at Stewart Saturday morning en route to Camp Smith in Peekskill. From there, the men will be dispatched as needed to aid recovery efforts.
And at 10 a.m. Sunday, 300 members from the Binghamton-based 204th Engineer Battalion will set up shop at Stewart. The battalion will address any flooding that occurs in the region.

What do you think of when you hear the words "Luxury Home"? Most people probably envision frivolous mansions, sprawling European manors, and echoing cavernous living areas that are as cold and snobbish as they are expensive. Although this might be the case with many luxury homes, you're sure to change your mind after having a look at GMLD-955.
On one hand, GMLD-955 is large (4,955 square feet), but it is still rather modest when compared to other luxury homes. However, it's the thoughtful and practical layout that really makes this house plan shine. GMLD-955 is very stately and impressive from the approach, especially when looking at the twin courtyard garages. The sense of awe continues as you enter the raised foyer and catch glimpses of the 2-story library. It could seem a bit overwhelming at first, but you quickly lose all sense of intimidation as soon as you see the family room, kitchen, and breakfast nook. Every single feature seems to radiate a sense of home and comfort.
The family room, dining room, and library are perfect for entertaining guests, but if you need to be alone, solitude is just a footstep away. The study is located near the back of the home and is the perfect place to sit down with a good book. Or perhaps youd like to try the Artist's suite -- perfect for a home office! But if you really just want to get away from it all, you should check out the master retreat; a 13' x 13' bay-windowed sunroom with a fireplace and half bath. It is completely separated from the rest of the house, and it really is the perfect retreat!
Don't overlook the backyard pergola; or the three upstairs bedrooms either. This Luxury home is so smart and so practical that I can't fit it all into one article -- you'll just have to Check it out!

Each of the ten (10) randomly-selected Sweepstakes winners shall win Two Hundred Dollars ($200), and will obtain those funds in the form of a gift card chosen by Sponsor. Only ten (10) Sweepstakes prizes will be awarded.

Change title to include Amitabha Sutra[edit]
When reader search for "Short Amitabha Sutra" it cannot be found. I would suggest to change this title to "Shorter Sukhāvatīvyūha Sūtra(Amitaba Sutra)".Dalauhu (talk) 14:30, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
Change title to "Shorter Amitabha Sutra"[edit]
I just read Wikipedia: Article title. According to the criteria of "Recognizability", the current title should be changed to "Shorter Amitabha Sutra" because this is the name commonly known by the public (reference Wikipedia: Amitabha Sutra). Currently people interested in this sutra cannot find it in Wikisource because "Amitabha" is not included in the title. Dalauhu (talk) 21:43, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka are on the cover of Out magazine's "The Love Issue." The pair, parents of 15-month-old twins Gideon and Harper, opened up about their relationship by penning essays for the annual issue.
Speaking of David Burtka, Neil Patrick Harris wrote, "There's something kinetic about him and his being. He's classically sexy, yet he's very much a boy in his energy. It's a great dynamic. When I see people who are equally attractive, they tend to seem more quiet and kind of Marlboro Man-y, and David's the antithesis of that. He's more like Tigger."
"I tend to weigh options before making decisions, and David is the polar opposite of that," the actor wrote of their personalities. "We're hyper similar and also incredibly opposite. We share a wardrobe. We have the same shoe size, body size, height, and weight. We're both Gemini. We both like the idea of family -- not a nuclear family, but a social family. Yet, we're incredibly opposite in the way we process information."
Though the pair is happily engaged now, it wasn't equally love at first sight.
"I initially fell for David harder than he fell for me," explained Harris. "I was in love with him before he was comfortable saying it, and I think that speaks to our past experiences. I remember saying, 'I think I love you,' and he was like, 'That's really nice,' which is not necessarily what you want to hear. But I appreciated his honesty in not jumping the gun and saying something because he felt obliged to."
"I'm not the biggest fan of the word 'partner,'" the How I Met Your Mother star said of trying to put a label on their relationship. "It either means that we run a business together or we're cowboys. 'Boyfriend' seems fleeting, like maybe we met two weeks ago. I've been saying "better half" for as long as I've been able to. I think it's a little self-deprecating and clearly defines that we're in a relationship, but it would be nice to say 'my husband.'"

Was it that bad? The trouble with director's theatre in early romantic opera is that it so often takes the messy and implausible plots as trigger for a whole salvo of disjointed imagery and symbolism, not noticing that the style is essentially simple and easily smothered by visual clutter - the funny hats, the orange and silver wigs, the luminous gloves, the fatigues and kalashnikovs and all the other stock-in-trade of the modern producer out to make his statement about the News at Ten. I should hate to have to psychoanalyse Albery's Nabucco, but if I say that the climactic moment when the Assyrian king is struck down by a thunderbolt looked like The Wizard of Oz reshot at Entebbe airport, it will give some idea of the muddle to which, in the end, the audience was probably objecting.
What this opening night needed, more than production icons, was a firmer theatrical hand on the cast. Janice Cairns's Abigaille, though fluent and affecting at its best (for instance in the lyrical "Anch'io dischiuso un giorno" - the work is done in Italian) lacked presence and venom and flounced self-consciously in her designer guerrilla decolletage. Clare Shearer, substituting at short notice for Sara Fulgoni, was an understandably colourless Fenena; and the Zaccaria, Willard White, with all his virtues of quiet dignity and dark, strong vocalism, hardly looked or sounded like an Old Testament prophet in the Captivity. The high priest needs to balance Nabucco himself as he ascends rapidly towards megalomania. Jonathan Summers drew this psychological parabola well in the circumstances and he produced much the best solo Verdi singing while apparently doubling as Che Guevara and Pirandello's Henry IV.
There were decent contributions too, from Gwyn Hughes Jones in the token tenor role of the Hebrew traitor Ismaele and Anthony Stuart Lloyd as the High Priest of Baal, alias Goering in a red tinsel tiara. But the real stars, as they should be in this piece, were the chorus, singing Verdi's superbly elemental lines with the only deep affection one sensed all evening. "Va pensiero", as ever, was moving and restrained; but nearly all the chorus work was excellent. Carlo Rizzi conducted with style, but still needs to tighten rhythm and trim round the edges of the orchestral ensemble. This will come. But what we have to look at is another matter.

The Word of God is like a large puzzle that's made up of a lot of pieces. Each piece is significant but only as it's connected to the whole. It's not until the pieces are assembled that we can see the image which it was designed to display. There are exactly as many pieces in a scrambled puzzle as there are in a finished one. But there's a huge difference: One leaves you guessing and the other reveals the image.
Gospel preaching connects the pieces and reveals Christ in His glory. The Pharisees were experts on the pieces, but ignorant of Christ. Most preachers and Bible teachers today are the same way. Those who preach but don't preach Christ don't preach the gospel, and have no understanding of the Word of God. The gospel that brings about the regeneration of God's saints is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. "Judas said unto him, not Iscariot, Lord how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?" (John 14: 22).
Do you remember dog whistles? Humans cannot hear, but dogs can. The purpose for dog whistles is to make a way to call one's dog without disturbing the neighbor. There's a better way to discover who the Lord's are. The truth is like a dog whistle: all the Lord's dogs can hear it, but no one else can. He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God (John 8 : 47).
We need not try to discover the lowest frequency that these dogs can hear, but others cannot. Rather, we need only to take up that Divine dog whistle of the "whole counsel of God" and blow it. All those who come are the Lord's dogs; all those who do not come prove they did not hear; and they did not hear because they could not hear: they aren't dogs.
Let us ever and increasingly admire and adore the perfection of our God revealed in the gospel. Admire His love! Adore His mercy. Rejoice in His grace! Stand in awe of His wisdom, power, holiness, justice and truth! All shine forth gloriously in the satisfaction of Christ. Our sin is either on us or on Christ — there is no other way.

I've never got any sound to work on there. When I pull it up I can only see the 1st set score on courts 1-3. They have them where the doubles score should be instead of the middle column.
they have some good looking warmup drills going on there prior to match ? We gotta do these before our matches. LOL
You'd think they would figure it out by now. I was watching the scores yesterday, wondering what the heck was going on. Typical incompetent college tennis scoring.
Not hard to figure out, St John's #1 must be injured he retired in singles first match and only played doubles 2nd match. They only have 6 players on roster
Florida ties it up at 1 with a win by Federhofer at 6 but UNCW is up 6-4 5-3 at 1 and up 3-0 in the 3rd set at 2. Gators in trouble at home.
Aita wins it for UNCW at 1 and Watson takes it at 5 for Florida. Match tied at 2. Remaining Courts: 2) Cooprider (UNCW) leads van Overbeek (UF) 3-2 in the 3rd. It was 3-0 3) Williams (UNCW) leads Piro (UF) 6-3 4-5 4) Alford (UF) leads Pereira (UNCW) 4-6 6-2 3-1
VOB rallies to win 6-4 in the 3rd and Alford wins 6-4 in the 3rd as well. Gators escape with a 4-2 win.
Miss State leads Auburn 3-2 with the 2 remaining courts tight: 1) Bogaerts (MSU) leads Mies (AU) 7-5 4-5 on serve. Mies broke serving for 2nd set up 5-3 5) Lopasso (AU) leads Vinti (MSU) 4-6 6-1 3-0
This seems to happen a lot and they never do recruit on campus, I guess all the effort to get people cleared isnt worth it.
Mississippi State pulls it out 4-3 as Romain Bogaerts guts out a 7-5 7-6 (6) win at #1 singles. Auburn's Mies served for the 2nd set up 5-4 and served for it in the tiebreak up 6-5.
It's impressive how well Mississippi State has reloaded after losing most of their team from last year.
This shows how pertinent doubles is for UF this spring. Lack of a dominant top player could be the heel of the Gators in many matches.
With Stanford missing from the tournament, it won't be that much fun. Is there anyway they can get a wildcard into the event ?
There are 16 spots available in the final 16. That's why they use terms like "round of 16" and "final 16 teams." Fifteen regionals are held to decide spots, and the University of Washington qualifies automatically as the host team. That makes 16 teams for 16 spots. How do you propose getting Stanford in at this point?
I do kinda miss the days of laughing as Clayton lost head-scratching after head-scratching match. But this current Stanford team doesn't have much that's interesting about it.
Question. What's the highest rank a #2 can end the year at. Jomby is off to an incredible start against some tough teams. My early prediction is that he is going to surprise a lot of people by years end
That was a very impressive weekend for him winning both matches 6-0 6-1. Probably would be tougher to get much higher than he is now which is #15 since he won't face many opponents at #2 singles that have a better ranking. Only #2s in the SEC that are in the top 20 are Jonas Lutjen #5, Nathan Pasha #19, and Gonzales Austin #20. His win over Sebastian Fanselow back in September is what got his ranking as high as it is so a win over Lutjen would definitely help. Mitchell Frank finished last year ranked #2 and he played at #3 singles for Virginia all year though he did tear it up in the fall beating 5 or 6 top 10 players and started the year ranked #1.
Bagahahahah. They host the qualifier and lose. No, they miss out. Sorry, go get better. You aren't top 16 worthy so far this spring.
Yes, if they can talk Washington into letting Standford host the tournament and then they get the WC. Good luck. Let us know how that goes.
you would think they need some indoor courts for indoor tournament... so I'm guessing no deal... lol ..
Thank God Stanford was able to beat Texas Tech, I was concerned for the match. Looking at the schedule it seems to be a pretty soft non conference, maybe Coach Whit knew this was going to be a down season.
Last match of the ITA Indoor Kick Off Weekend: #3 UCLA vs. #57 BYU – LiveStats - 6:15 pm est/3:15 pm pst - just getting ready to start
UCLA is your 16th team for the National Indoors as they beat BYU 6-1. Bruins won the doubles point in a tiebreak at #3 then won 5 of 6 singles matches in straight sets. The one loss came by Dennis Novikov.
So there were two "upsets" on the men's side with Tennessee beating Illinois and Texas A&M beating Stanford and on the women's side Vanderbilt beat out Ole Miss. The rest of the hosts won.
Here are the 16 headed to Seattle and the bigger matchups they have in the next 2 weeks. There will probably be some movement in the rankings before the brackets come out though not a ton. #1 Virginia - off #2 USC - Texas, Cal, Stanford #3 UCLA - San Diego, Stanford, Cal #4 Ohio State - Georgia, Texas A&M #5 Duke - Illinois, Tennessee, Michigan, Notre Dame #6 Georgia - Ohio State #7 Pepperdine - Texas #8 Oklahoma - Indiana, Kentucky, Tulsa #9 Kentucky - Oklahoma, Illinois, Notre Dame #11 Mississippi State - Ole Miss #12 Florida - Florida State #13 Ole Miss - Mississippi State #14 Cal - USC, UCLA #19 Tennessee - Illinois, Duke #22 Washington - Santa Clara, Boise State #26 Texas A&M - TCU, Ohio State These are the potential pairings in Seattle. I know the ITA usually doesn't like to pair up conference members in the Round of 16 but I don't think they can avoid an SEC matchup this year since there are 7 SEC schools in the final 16. 1. Virginia vs. 16. Washington 8. Oklahoma vs. 9. Kentucky 4. Ohio State vs. 13. Cal 5. Duke vs. 12. Florida 6. Pepperdine vs. 11. Mississippi State 3. UCLA vs. 14. Tennessee 7. Georgia vs. 10. Ole Miss 2. USC vs. 15. Texas A&M
^^are they going to have decent webcam coverage this year ? Last year their coverage was really poor or non-existant
Washington has indoor webcams and they have a couple of home matches before so I am sure you will be able to tell the quality from there.

Easy to prepare no-bake, make-ahead fruit and nut truffles.
The word sugar-plum, evokes a quaint sense of old-world whimsy and yuletide celebrations gone by. We think of Clement Clark Moore's famous poem where "children were nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads…" or the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy from Tchaikovsky's The Nut Cracker.
But what exactly is a sugar-plum?
While some may conclude by the name alone that it refers to a plum of a similar name, this Christmas-time confection is not a plum at all, nor is it required to consist of any. The true origins of the term sugar-plum has unfortunately been lost over time and faded into historical obscurity, but it is thought to once have referred to any dried fruit or sweet confection.
The confection we have come to associate with the word sugar-plum today primarily contains dried fruits and nuts combined with holiday spices. It signifies everything simple, sweet and delectable about the holiday season.
While sugar-plums were a mainstay of holiday seasons of past they have fallen out of favor in recent years in favor of cookies and other sugar-filled sweets. I think they may be due for a comeback. Wholesome and easy to prepare, they can be made in less than 15 minutes with a food processor. These no-bake, make-ahead fruit and nut "truffles" can also be stored for weeks in the refrigerator, perfect during the entertaining season.
Here nuts, dried cranberries, orange zest and dates are finely chopped, held together by a splash of Cointreau and finished with a light coat of chopped pistachios. At first bite a melting and subtle sweetness leads to the fragrant almost floral taste of orange peel and Cointreau swiftly followed by the tartness of cranberry. These maybe simple in content but are complex on the tongue. Serve them with coffee or tea for an afternoon or after dinner treat.
Wishing you all a wonderful holiday.
Yields makes about 20 balls
Easy to prepare no-bake, make-ahead fruit and nut truffles.
20 minPrep Time
- ½ cup / 60g raw pistachios
- ¾ / 90g cup raw almonds
- Pinch of fine sea salt
- 6 large, soft pitted medjool dates
- Zest of half an organic orange
- 1-2 tsps Cointreau or Grand Marnier (for an alcohol-free version substitute same amount of orange juice)
- ¼ cup / 30g dried cranberries
- Place a ¼ cup of the pistachios in a food processor and process until finely ground. Set aside in a small shallow bowl.
- Put the almonds and remaining ¼ of pistachios in the food processor with the salt and process until finely chopped.
- Add the dates, orange zest and Cointreau and process again until the mixture begins to clump together. Add the dried cranberries and pulse briefly until just mixed. Small chunks of cranberries should still be visible.
- Scoop about 1 Tablespoon of the mixture into the palm of your hand and squeeze and roll into a ball. Repeat until all the mixture has been formed into "truffles."
- Roll each ball in the ground pistachios and chill for at least 1 hour before serving to firm.
- Store in a sealed container for up to one month in the fridge or a few months in the freezer.

Just bought 1 share of Green Bay Packer stock. Packers are the only community owned, non corportate team in the league.
Congratulate me! I'm a Packer Owner!
On July 23, 2016, we discontinued our forums. We ask our members to please join us in our new community site, The Hartmann Report. Please note that you will have to register a new account on The Hartmann Report.
I saw that they were selling stock again. I thought about it but I can't stand the Packers!
well, buy a share, go to the stockholder meeting, sit in the front row and pick your nose.
I'm not into sports very much, but I was into watching the Packer's recent winning streak. It's too bad that it's finally been broken.
Competetitive sports are an opiate (or should I say a crystal-meth) for the masses. They serve to divert our attention away from real life issues and get us to spend our spare time growing beer guts as couch potatoes. In Sacramento, there are thousands of homeless. There are tent cities along the riverbanks, and panhandlers at every gas station and shopping center parking lot, that doesn't have private security guards. But the major political debate for the past several years has been about how to publicly finance a new larger basketball arena when they are unable to fill the older one that we already have. Oh, by the way, our mayor, Keven Johnson, a very likeable guy, is a former NBA star. And the local NBA team is owned by a couple of millionaire brothers who live and own a casino in Las Vegas. They regularly threaten to move their team to another city unless Sacramento can finance a new arena.
yes, i agree. that's why the packers are unique. they CANT move. owned by the community

He sendeth out his words, and melteth them...Psalms 147: 18
This is my second favorite shot of JPGer Donald and his wife Susan Garrett taken on March 17, 2011.
I recently lost the Hot rating on my first favorite shot of them. LOL... but truthfully prefer this pose because it captures their personality.
My husband and I met this charismatic couple in Minneapolis and the picture of them was shot after we ate lunch with them and shortly before they returned to the hotel for their Music Conference that they participated in..
As you notice there was no snow or ice on the ground in spite of the caution and beware signs but instead you see the warm smiles of Donald and Susan:)

Andrea Petersen said (14 Nov 2011):
Thank you for your comments..Elfriede, I posted a similar one to this earlier in a diptych where Donald was sitting on a bench with the musical notes of a mural on the wall of a building behind him and combined it with this shot of Susan by the signs, but l like the expression on both of their faces better where they are together on this shot. You can see the musical notes of the building that I mentioned, reflected on the chrome and window of the dark car in the parking lot. It wasn't too far away from this shot.

Although this is 40-year-old footage, there is absolutely nothing nostalgic about Stax/Volt Revue: Live in Norway 1967, nothing dated about the music, and no reason not to encourage anyone even remotely interested to get acquainted with this performance right away. This 75-minute concert is a wonderful find, a tour-de-force of "clap your hands just a little bit louder" performer-audience interactions, jacket removals, sweat, and some of the sweetest soul music ever created. And its presentation here could hardly be better.
It might be hard to understand, in this day and age, why it took until 1967 for the Stax/Volt legends to make it to Europe. After all, the first hint of fame now enables the average pop star to jet off to every corner of the globe on a whim. Many of the folks at Stax were actually bigger in England and continental Europe than they were in the US, and some of them had been having hit records for several years before they finally journeyed across the pond. By all accounts, when they finally toured Europe, the reception was overwhelmingly positive.
Various Artists
Stax/Volt Revue: Live In Norway 1967
US DVD: 2 Oct 2007
UK DVD: 2 Oct 2007
Watching this concert, it's easy to see why audiences fell in love. As a document of the construction of the Stax sound, this almost full-length show is very educational indeed. Starting off with Booker T. & the MGs and then adding the Mar-Keys before finally bringing the singers into the mix allowed the audience (and today's viewer) to experience and understand the absolute vitality of the musicians. The five instrumental numbers, which include the big hits "Green Onions" and "Last Night", provide a fine opportunity to concentrate on the groove. What might occasionally seem monotonous on record (only occasionally!) reveals its subtleties on video.
It's here that the commentary track, featuring guitarist Steve Cropper, trumpeter Wayne Jackson, and historian Rob Bowman, is especially enlightening. Jackson discusses the necessity of the horn section being perfectly in sync, and the difficulty of playing "Satisfaction" at the rate Otis Redding would demand. Cropper notes the speeding-up of "Green Onions" because the tempo of the record wouldn't get people dancing in a concert setting. Bowman asks questions both technical and personal. And everyone fawns over the drumming of Al Jackson, Jr., and with good reason since he's the one who holds the whole machine together.
The first vocalist of the night is Arthur Conley, the Otis Redding protege whose biggest hit, "Sweet Soul Music", gets a tremendous outing here. Conley draws the tune out long enough to incorporate extended hooks from contemporary hits by James Brown, Sam and Dave, Redding, and Wilson Pickett, a nice touch that makes for a more varied piece of music than the studio recording.
Eddie Floyd comes across as considerably smoother than the raw and manic Conley, but "Raise Your Hand" ups the ante in an important way. Floyd leaves the stage to mingle with the crowd, which is populated by maybe 2000 engaged teenagers. We get a pretty good idea of the range of behaviors exhibited by the Norwegian audience, because there's an awful lot of crowd shots during the course of the program. Some of the kids closer to the stage are up and dancing, some sit in their chairs clapping and tapping their toes, and at least one girl lies passed out on the floor. It's interesting to see how no one mobs Floyd when he's down on the floor, and how no one tries to hop onto the stage, which is only a few feet off the ground.
If Conley and Floyd get the crowd excited, Sam and Dave whip the place into a frenzy. Their four songs are a feast of call-and-response brilliance and the most expressive, creative dancing of the show, as well as proto-Roger Daltrey microphone moves. And the music's pretty great, too. "When Something Is Wrong With My Baby" is the only truly slow ballad in the film, and although it's missing its first verse, it's a marvelous performance. The sweat pouring from Sam Moore's face would bring any mere mortal to his knees, begging for water, and it's after they've been onstage for maybe 15 minutes. If that ain't proof that the guy's giving everything he's got, I'm not sure what is. Moore also goes into the crowd, and tops Floyd's level of interaction by expressing a desire to share a big bottle of gin with the audience after the show. For sheer energy, the Sam and Dave set can't be beat.
Otis Redding's definitive moment on film is probably his turn in Monterey Pop. His full set was captured as Shake! Otis at Monterey, and it stands as a triumph not only for Redding himself, but also for all of soul music. Everything gels, and the "love crowd" gets off on Otis, and he on them, and the performance is one of those that comes from out of nowhere, there was nothing else like it at Monterey, and leaves you wondering what the hell just happened. After you've seen it, it's hard to imagine Otis Redding ever being more commanding. So having him as the climax to Live in Norway, especially following Sam and Dave, may not seem ideal. You're pretty sure he'll be great, but it won't beat Monterey. His set in Oslo is damn good, though, as he piledrives through "Satisfaction" and "Shake" and does a few mid-tempo numbers too. All that's missing is a slow-burner on the order of "I've Been Loving You Too Long", which he regularly performed in Europe but which didn't make it to film.
If there's one thing to complain about with this video, it can't be levied at the folks who put it together. Instead, it's simply that the complete concert, which was taped by a Norwegian TV station, didn't survive. How incredible would it be to have another half hour or so of this stuff? Even without that extra dessert, this is an indispensable document of a milestone moment in the history of soul music. Fans will love it, other interested parties will enjoy it a great deal, and doubters just might be converted.
In addition to the full-length commentary, this disc includes 20 minutes of interviews and an alternate performance of "Green Onions". The interviews aren't as great as the commentary, but they're worth watching once. And "Green Onions" is… well, it's "Green Onions", and it just gets funkier with age. There's also a 24-page booklet, which includes photos and a lengthy, informative essay by Bowman. It's a pretty generous, lovingly-made package.

JCPenney launched ads during Oscars
JCPenney aired a new ad campaign during the Academy Awards. The campaign played up the company's "it's all inside" tagline by asking viewers, "Have you seen what's inside?"
JCPenney touted the fact that it offers spring fashions, lingerie, fine jewelry, and custom-tailored solutions for homes: all at "JCPenney value."
Lowe's continues to expand
Lowe's opened 130 new stores in 2003, and will increase that rate of expansion with 140 new-stores openings in 2004 and 150 slated for 2005, said the company's chairman and CEO Robert L. Tillman during a fourth quarter conference call.
As for the fourth quarter specifically, Lowe's opened 47 new stores, including one relocation. As of Jan. 30, 2004, Lowe's operated 952 stores in 45 states containing 108.8 million square feet of retail selling space, a 14.8 percent increase over last year.
The company also noted that the number of stores that exceeded the $40 million in sales mark leapt from 170 in 2002 to around 232 last year. Additionally, Lowe's said store traffic was up 13 percent.
Lowe's President Robert Niblock said, "We continue to see strong results from our metro-market expansion, and our up-the-continuum merchandising strategy and branding initiatives continue to provide our customers the best products and services to meet their home improvement needs."
Rag Shops considers alternative strategy
Rag Shops has retained the investment banking firm of SunTrust Robinson Humphrey to provide financial advice and consider whether a sale, merger or some other corporate transaction can boost shareholder value.
"There is no assurance that any transaction will result from the engagement or that, if a transaction does occur, it will be on terms that all shareholders consider favorable," the company stated in a release.
Rag Shops operates approximately 69 stores and leased space of 809,500 square feet in other outlets. Sales for the first quarter ended Nov. 29, 2003, were $33.8 million, up 1.4 percent.

2001 528i. running lean
Error code says that both front banks are running lean. What is the first thing I should do?
second is vacuum leak. And the third thing to check is...you've already know. |
2001 528i?? does that exist?
Fourth thing is vacuum leak ...
Fifth is vacuum leak ... And, sixth ... is ... umm ... look here. - How to diagnose a BMW E39 engine misfire (1) |
Follow up. Sounds like my 525i... has a vacuum leak. At least that's where I will start. I hope cleaning it will be good enough as they are $250, and frankly I would rather just pay my kids rent. Mike, regarding your cars look, I think the red rims look great and especially when seen from the rear and you get some taillight in the photo. Anyway I will Google cleaning a MAF and get to work on it. Wish me luck, cuz lean or not... it''s just purring.
Any progress on this im about to replace my MAF but can't find any part number printed on it. I dont think i have an airleak because i hear no noise when i take the oilcap of on idling or when i remove the dipstick. Whats strange is that there is no difference in idle when disconnecting the MAF. I will order a new one as soon as i can find a part number printed on it, its not printed on the top. Mine looks like this but nothing is printed on it. http://www.maf-shop.com/en/vdo-sieme...766a940685f8ae Where do i find the partnumber on my MAF? |
Sound like you need a new MAF if it makes no different when it's disconnected. |
aren't u better off looking for a leak, like in between the accordion folds of the intake boot, per se? |

☞ INTRODUCING: Larry's Freewheeling
One of the empty retail spaces over at 301 West 110th Street now appears to have secured a bicycle shop set to debut sometimes in the future. Signs for Larry's Freewheeling have been posted up at the corner retail just west of FDB/8th Avenue and the new business will offer rentals, accessories and sales. This will be the second bike shop to open in the area since Modsquad Cycles is located just up the block on FDB and 115th Street: LINK

I love Mod Squad -- they are my go-to bike shop in the neighborhood, with cheerful service and great products. It's delightful to think that there will be another bike shop in the neighborhood, as one shop will not be able to accommodate all the bike-needs our community will manifest in the coming season -- and years!

CALABASAS, Calif. -- Like many holiday travelers, Ron Evenhaim isn't going to let rising gasoline prices curtail his plans for a weekend getaway.
Evenhaim rented a 40-foot diesel RV to take his family of five the 300 miles from his home in suburban Los Angeles to Lake Isabella in the Tehachapi Mountains.
"That's 30 gallons," he said, using the vehicle's average mileage of eight to 10 mpg.
"Even if gas prices go up $1, that's an extra $30. You buy the kids a sandwich halfway and you've spent more," he said.
Americans are expected to do slightly more driving this Memorial Day weekend than they did last year. But the near-record gas prices are prompting some travelers to take shorter trips and economize in other ways.
About 38 million Americans are expected to travel 50 miles or more this weekend, a 1.7 increase from last year's holiday, according to the AAA. About 83 percent of them will drive, with the remainder taking airplanes, trains or other transportation.
An AP-Ipsos poll showed that nearly half the country says gas prices are causing a "serious hardship," but fewer people than last year are reducing their driving, trimming other expenses or curtailing vacation plans due to higher energy costs.
Holiday travelers will find gas prices nationwide averaging $3.04 a gallon for self-serve regular, according to AAA. That's up 25 cents from last month and more than 15 cents from the same time last year.
Hotel rates are also up about 13 percent from last year, the association found, but flights and car rentals are expected to be a bit cheaper.
Vacationers seem resigned to current gas prices and confident that, as in previous years, prices will drop after the traditional start of the summer driving season.
At a Citgo station along the Florida Turnpike in Miami, regular gas was selling for $3.21 a gallon.
At one pump, 29-year-old David Cook of Hollywood, Fla., and his younger brother, Danny, made a quick stop for gas and snacks before the four-hour drive to Key West to meet friends for a bachelor party weekend.
"Sure the price of gas here is a little high, but compared to other cities I've heard, it's not that bad," David Cook said as he filled up his Honda Civic.
Matt Reveley, a 23-year-old chemical company engineer from Cambridge, Mass., paid $3.09 per gallon to fill up his Toyota at a Mobil station in Cambridge as he looked forward to sharing a ride with a friend for a weekend getaway to Maine.
Reveley said he's carpooling mainly for convenience, and to avoid spending too much time behind the wheel.
"The gas prices are really not going to affect my plans that much," he said.
But he does feel the effect of higher gas prices when he makes his daily commute.
"I drive to work, and when it gets to $3 a gallon, it's kind of a big deal," he said. "I've got to drive."
In California, several RV rental agencies reported brisk business.
Martin Onken, owner of Expedition Motor Homes in Calabasas, said his business is up 12 percent from last year's Memorial Day weekend. But people are renting the hotels on wheels for 10 percent fewer days and traveling 12 percent fewer miles.
"People are asking me, 'Where can I go that's close?'" Onken said. "We have a lot of people who would normally drive the 1,200 miles round-trip to the Redwoods who want to go to Santa Barbara or Yosemite instead."
In Miami, Carlos and Stephanie Mendez started their holiday weekend early by taking their two children to see Mickey Mouse in Orlando. They seemed unfazed by gas prices.
"Well, this trip was planned for a long time, but we didn't plan on spending a lot on gas," Stephanie said. "But what are you going to do? Enjoy your weekend vacation or stay home? We decided to enjoy our weekend."
