Beloved Readers,
The 34th issue of The Deli - i.e. our Best of NYC 2013 issue - is out today, and you can read it online here!
The Deli's Staff
Boston/Portland (ME)/Brooklyn based quintet Joy Kills Sorrow is that go to band every blogger speaks highly of, but they have yet to make the kind of splash they deserve. That may change with the pending release of new EP 'Wide Awake,' to be followed by a lengthy coast to coast tour. The five piece bluegrass/folk group has always found ways to extend themselves. Be it virtuoso string playing, huge lead vocals (Emma Beaton) or their penchant for re-configuring their classical backgrounds to carve out new worlds for pop jams (check out their fantastic cover of 'Such Great Heights,' streaming below), the band always comes across sounding new while staying firmly rooted in a classic American roots tradition. They're setting off across the country this summer, but be sure to catch them live when they come around later this year.
This seven-piece Portland-based indie rock ensemble known as Forget, Forget are known for their big sound and unorthodox lyrics. Their demo Do You Love Me?, released in March, is going to be the perfect playlist as you transition from spring to summer. With upbeat feel-good tunes, it'll make you feel like you're riding cross-country with your top down even if you're just sitting in your bed at home. They've got those lyrics that don't make sense on paper, but you can't help but vibe to them and sing-along all day. And if you're into them, check out Kickstarter and give them a hand in recording their debut album! - Sam Hill

Daniel James and Cam Jones are Worried Well. They're about to release their new album Luck on May 7, and you definitely need to check them out. Playing a lot of pop-acoustic tracks, but being a rock n' roll band at heart, Worried Well consistently delivers a quality song with thoughtful, poetic lyrics. You've got a variety of styles on this album, too, from the Death Cab for Cutie-esque "Find Your Own God" to "Lords of the Beach" where James finds his inner-Max Bemis. This album is a natural progression from their earlier work, so long time fans and newbies will be on the same page. - Sam Hill
While Skösh is known around their hometown of Buckfield, Maine for their funky, high-energy cover sets, their original tracks might be better described as hipster-country. "Tall Grass" the first single off their upcoming self-titled debut, sounds best on a lonely dirt road as the upbeat twangin' of that acoustic guitar entwined with a cheery whistle melody blends with the more somber lyrics of jack-of-all-trades bandmate Jedidiah Allen. The band recently won the Young & Free Maine 2013 Sound Off and will be taking the stage with some national acts at Kahbang this summer. Hopefully you can make it to one of their stellar shows up north before they take the region by storm with original material come this summer. - Samuel Hill
There are so many guys with guitars nowadays. They're a dime a dozen. But Max García Conover is one that you wouldn't stop if he brought his guitar to the campfire. His latest album, Burrow, was recorded in his attic studio during a long, cold Maine winter, and it shows. The music is stripped down to the bare minimum, just Conover, his raw vocals, poetic lyrics and a tricky folk-guitar melody. This is the kind of music you'll want to turn up during those long, scenic car rides this spring. Check him out soon, as he's playing shows throughout New England all season. - Sam Hill

A grand historic property is chosen in the Lake Forest, Illinois area to be the site of Showhouse & Gardens created by the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago.
The Infant Welfare Society of Chicago has 16 auxiliary chapters whose primary functions are to raise funds and provide volunteer services to support the clinic. The Lake Forest Chapter has hosted Showhouse & Gardens since 1985 and has since become one of the largest fund raising events associated with the Chicago clinic.
The Manor house still retains all of its original architectural details and features 25 rooms, 6 bedrooms, and 5.5 baths. Leggy Bird Designs had the privilege of designing the master bathroom and chose WarmlyYours radiant floor heating to add the finishing touch of radiant warmth to the bathroom suite.
With handmade clay tiles and crafted nickel fixtures accompanied by soft lighting and gentle arches, the bath suite is the model of sophisticated luxury from a past era enhanced by modern architecture and technology. WarmlyYours and Skandinavian Stone & Tile Design worked closely together to bring luxurious warmth and spa comfort to the bath suite by installing TempZone™ floor heating system under the Skandinavian Stone & Tile Design flooring.
TempZone™ Radiant Floor Heating was chosen specifically for this master bathroom design to bring soothing radiant heat to the beautiful but cold tile floor. With the bath suite created for the ultimate in luxury, comfort, and sophistication, WarmlyYours Radiant Heating was the natural choice to complete that vision.

Aussie latest – Barnes, Palu back for Tahs
16 Mar 2011
Keo.co.za brings you news from Australia's Super Rugby franchises.
Barnes, Palu back for Tahs – Berrick Barnes and Wycliff Palu were named in the Waratahs' run-on side to face the Cheetahs in Sydney on Saturday.
Barnes returns after missing the defeat to the Crusaders because of a concussion. He replaces Daniel Halangahu at pivot.
In a new-look loose trio, No 8 Palu starts his first Super Rugby game in 10 months, which sees Ben Mowen switch to blindside flank and opensider Pat McCutcheon forces Dave Dennis to drop to the bench.
Lachie Turner is preferred ahead of Ryan Cross at outside centre in place of the injured Rob Horne while hooker John Ulugia is promoted to the starting line-up ahead of Damien Fitzpatrick with first-choice Tatafu Polota-Nau on the sidelines.
Waratahs – 15 Kurtley Beale, 14 Afa Pakalani, 13 Lachie Turner, 12 Tom Carter, 11 Drew Mitchell, 10 Berrick Barnes, 9 Luke Burgess, 8 Wycliff Palu, 7 Pat McCutcheon, 6 Ben Mowen, 5 Kane Douglas, 4 Dean Mumm (c), 3 Al Baxter, 2 John Ulugia, 1 Benn Robinson.
Subs: 16 Damien Fitzpatrick, 17 Sekope Kepu, 18 Sitaleki Timani, 19 Dave Dennis, 20 Brendan McKibbin, 21 Daniel Halangahu, 22 Ryan Cross.
Chambers dropped – Utility back Will Chambers has been dropped from the Reds' match 22 for their clash against the Rebels this weekend.
Chambers has started at outside centre for the Queenslanders' opening fixtures this season, but has now been replaced by Ben Tapuai after some poor performances in the No 13 jumper.
The only other change sees lock Adam Wallace-Harris comes in for the injured Van Humphries (broken thumb) while Radike Samo provides second row cover on the bench.
Reds – 15 Ben Lucas, 14 Rod Davies, 13 Ben Tapuai, 12 Anthony Faingaa, 11 Digby Ioane, 10 Quade Cooper, 9 Will Genia (c), 8 Leroy Houston, 7 Beau Robinson, 6 Scott Higginbotham, 5 Adam Wallace-Harrison, 4 Rob Simmons, 3 James Slipper, 2 Saia Faingaa, 1 Ben Daley.
Subs: 16 James Hanson, 17 Greg Holmes, 18 Radike Samo, 19 Ed Quirk, 20 Liam Gill, 21 Mike Harris, 22 Luke Morahan.
Rebels rotate backs – Mark Gerrard's shoulder injury has forced the Rebels to reshuffle their backline.
Julian Huxley switches from inside centre to replace Gerrard at fullback. Stirling Mortlock moves to No 12 while Lachlan Mitchell slots in at outside centre. Wing Afusipa Taumoepeau is promoted to the starting line-up with Peter Betham named on the bench.
Rebels – 15 Julian Huxley, 14 Afusipa Taumoepeau, 13 Lachlan Mitchell, 12 Stirling Mortlock (c), 11 Cooper Vuna, 10 Danny Cipriani, 9 Nick Phipps, 8 Gareth Delve, 7 Tom Chamberlain, 6 Jarrod Saffy, 5 Adam Byrnes, 4 Alister Campbell, 3 Greg Somerville, 2 Ged Robinson, 1 Nic Henderson.
Subs: 16 Heath Tessmann, 17 Laurie Weeks, 18. Hugh Pyle, 19 Tim Davidson, 20 Richard Kingi, 21 Peter Betham, 22 Luke Rooney.

16 Mar 2011, 07:57 amope cheetahs cope better this year on travels
16 Mar 2011, 08:00 amWill be interesting to see how John Ulugia goes. Was always a strong scrummager (could play hooker or loosehead) but really struggled with his lineouts. I think that was one of the main reasons the Brumbies let him go.
I still can't believe the Brumbies released Sitaleki Timani and kept Ben Hand either. Now that Elsom, Hoiles and Chapman are out for most of the season I bet they are kicking themselves.
16 Mar 2011, 08:06 am@DonutDunning(DonutDunning)-2: I heard about Sitaleki Timani in 2008, why has it taken him so long to come through?
16 Mar 2011, 08:12 am@grant10(grant10)-1: I ope so as well
16 Mar 2011, 12:16 pmThe Tahs need to decide on a Kicker.
Every game they chop and change. And it's costing them big time.
16 Mar 2011, 13:55 pmTrying to think which team can lose to the Cheetahs? Lions beat them at home and that may have been their best bet… Lets hope they can get their 1st overseas win this year!
17 Mar 2011, 08:30 am@FawltyRich(FawltyRich)-6: Well it wont be their first game , Tahs too strong for them but jaa we can hope and pray
Have your say

We've been busy cutting down the damaged trees from the November 28th snowstorm, and starting the spring clean up. It makes us feel good to do this, because we can gauge our progress. We can see results. I want the property to be clear of the damage that befell us this winter. It breaks may heart to see elm trees destroyed, they are such things of beauty. I want to purge winter from my system and run away from it. It needs to go, once and for all. The branches pile up -- one pile for future fire wood, the other to be burned in the open. Our backs ache by the time we go in for lunch.

Fantastic post. I'm amazed at the determination, courage and faith a person must have to start a life in another country. It's well worth it I imagine.

You guys have such energy and determination. It's nothing less than inspiring.
I can't imagine having seen the devastation your friends suffered (I'm sure they would be surprised were they to come see yours, as well!). But for a terrace to simply disappear? What a long, hard winter.
I loved this line:
We have stories to tell, many of them, they bubble out of us when we get together, like a freshly shaken bottle of acqua frizzante.
but your whole post was beautiful and thoughtful and made me cry.

Kim, last time I checked, you are one of the group....

By "you guys," (in this instane) I meant you and Micha, working to repair the damage and get things ready for the season.
Being included in your group is what made me cry! I forget sometimes that maybe this (trying to make a new life in France with Marco) *is* a bit harder than even I thought (me, who had lived abroad before both on my own and c/o the USG, so thought I was well prepared -- but didn't consider that always before, those moves had come with built-in enddates for returning to my 'real' life) and that I should cut myself a break.

This is just what I needed to read today. Sometimes I feel even guilty because I don't feel what everybody says I have to feel: like I'm living a dream.
But this winter ... I have no words for it ...
As our first winter here we will never forget it, that's for sure :-) - Wednesday, March 04, 2009
- Diana Strinati Baur said...
Oh, Kim....Not having a return home date and plane ticket in hand is what, I believe, make up the crux of the expat experience. Jumping off a cliff without a parachute is my knee jerk analogy. It goes deep. Being here for a year or two and knowing that after that, "life" will continue on as before ... that feeling is gone. Gone. This "is" life, and that reality brings with it a myriad of feelings and things to cope with.
Michelle and Rob, thank you for your comments. Michelle, I think if we all knew what we were in for, we might have all thought twice. On the other hand, that is true of many things in life. Sometimes ignorance, or innocence even, is necessary to have the gumption to jump off that cliff. - Wednesday, March 04, 2009

natascha, go into your beautiful Piemontese woods and look at the tiny green leaves. They are our future.

You indeed are awe inspiring. I love your honesty and the emotion that you share with us. I can only imagine how difficult some of your days are, reminding all of us who are jealous that you are living and working in Italy, that it's more than a fantasy. Thanks Diana.

...and your story reminds me of another favorite quote of mine:
In the depths of winter I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer. -Albert Camus
That's how I see you guys... indomitable.
As for me.. I stand on the edge of the cliff; so close and yet so far...
Great post Diana... - Wednesday, March 04, 2009

It's been a hard winter in my part of Italy too: in a few months we got more cold weather and snow than in the last decade of winters combined. It's when you live right in the middle of the natural world that you experience not only the beauty but also the harshness of the elements. It is at those times that the choice of leaving the known (metropolitan) world and venturing off into the unknown appears in a darker light. It is then that a friendly pat on the back helps!

Sorella, what a great post. I love your determination and how you look at life there. It is clearly NOT an easy life. But so rewarding for you!
I am always inspired by your strength and how much of yourselves you share with your guests. How generous you are.

Very brave to change your lives like you have, but to be applauded...
Such utter devastation must be soul destroying..I cannot imagine how you feel...and your poor friends, I am sure they will get it fixed and move on...one thing is that you are all still alive :-) - Wednesday, March 04, 2009

Hi Diana,
It's amazing how similar you think.
What you suggest is what I am doing these days. The primula's and wild finocchio (don't know the english word) is coming out and it's like a little miracle coming out after all that snow.
By the way, I have a great recipe for finocchio bruschettas, can't wait to make them again :-)
Thinking of good food helps me too :-D - Wednesday, March 04, 2009

You've expressed every fear, doubt and hope that I have. I know I am not alone (even though it feels that way here) but after reading your post and the comments, I find incredible encouragement. Thanks Diana.

Hi bella Diana,
How well I know the feelings, the struggles, the nagging doubts, the emotions you so aptly describel How many crises of so many different types I have faced in this often difficult country. I remember vividly the frustration, the fear, the discouragement...but each time I picked myself up, dusted myself off and started anew to overcome the obstacles.
I feel that we are soul mates in numerous ways.
HOW I enjoy following your blog and your honest communication. You are inspiring!
An affectionate hug,
Mary in Umbria - Wednesday, March 04, 2009

What a wonderful heartfelt post, Diana.
Lots of pain and frustration but also lots of joy - that is the life you have made for yourselves.
We should all be so courageous! - Thursday, March 05, 2009
- Ingrid in Umbria said...
Expat life takes courage and "una testa dura". Reading your post - and others - right now, I am convinced it takes a certain character not only to endure and force hindreds. Passion and love are the driving forces. You seem to have endured more than one can take up in the North. Admirably brave! I do hope you will be richly rewarded SOON! Bacione, Ingrid - Thursday, March 05, 2009
You wrote down nicely how a lot of us are feeling.
After 3½ hard years here in Italy I found out that it's a real tin line between the Italian dream and the nightmare. For every good thing it seems like a million bad things happen, and even the weather is fighting and challenging us. It's difficult to see the beauty and also I need my quest book or others to tell me about the dream life we live. - Thursday, March 05, 2009
- Connie Lou said...
You will laugh at me and think "what a woose" as we moved from Honolulu to Volcano Hawaii. Paradise, yes, but everything that is wonderful about it like the infrastructure there, can be terrible about it...especially the 20 years back in time mindset. I feel your heart and like you, I remind myself constantly of my purpose, my focus and hopefully of the goodness I can bring to my new community and friends, in Hawaiian we say IMUA..to go forward..

1. | shaq fu | ||
The pinnacle of video gaming. Shaq Fu owns you and your Square hentai.
2. | Shaq Fu | ||
Possibly the greatest game of all time. Many have tried to emulate the awesomeness of Shaq Fu, but have come up short every time. It is a fighting game, and as the name suggests, it stars Shaq, the center on the team of righteousness. His task is to go into another dimension, save some kid he doesn't even know, and beat the hell out of anyone who stands in his way. Awesome game. To get the full Shaqtastic experience when playing this game, I would suggest playing some of Shaq's rap songs at the same time, as well as having a Miami Heat, or old Lakers or Magic game on every other tv in the house. Man 1: Do you Shaq Fu?
Man 2: Why, no, my good sir, I do not. Man 1: I see, then away with you, you unworthy heathen! |
3. | Shaq Fu | ||
A game that has one of the oddest plots of all time. It's a fighting game starring Shaq, in which on his way to a basketball game he gets pulled into the "second dimension" to save some old dude's son from an evil mummy known as Sett Ra. He fights various evil guys on the way, including a scary evil catwoman, an Arabian prince wielding 2 swords, and an evil voodoo lady. In story mode, you play as only Shaq, who has a fair arsenal of moves at his disposal to defeat Sett's evil minions. There is also a multiplayer mode, where you can play as Shaq as well as the various monsters he smashes. Shaq Fu is a run-of-the-mill fighting game with an odd plot. Few have heard of it, and almost no one would if it didn't star Shaquille O' Neal.
4. | shaq fu | ||
a sega genesis game, starring shaquille o'neal and best described as 'bruce-lee and the harlem globetrotters had a demon/zombie/robot baby-spawn that everyone hated and loved at the same time' shaq fu was teh suck.
c'mon, admit it. you owned shaq-fu. or at least rented it. |
5. | shaq fu | ||
A word the people of the online forum "Cheapassgamer" use to substitute for the word "Fuck" Shaq Fu You, DLF
The Icon's Shaq Fuin Awesome |
6. | Shaq Fu | ||
The art of the mixture of baskeball and they keys to all martial arts into 1 complicated combination. Mostly found in Shaq's agressive playing during basketball. Shaq schooled Kobe with his Shaq Fu.
7. | Shaq Fu | ||
A 90s fighting game for the SNES and Sega Genesis which people love to hate on, but isn't nearly as bad as you'd think from what you've hear about it. Sure it's not a great game, but it's actually playable - versus a bunch of other games that have been called the worst game ever, like Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing, Friday the 13th for NES, and ET: The Extraterrestrial for Atari. more...
The worst parts of this game are: The story is retarded (ex. Shaq is about to play a basketball game to raise money for a charity, but walks into a dojo and gets taken to another dimension where he has to rescue some kid from this evil mummy dude - for no apparent reason). The fighters walk way too slow, but they can jump insanely far - so the easiest way to win a match is to just jump all over the area and land aerial kicks on your opponent until he's dead. There's almost no reason to use ground attacks at all because you attack so slow, and opponent can just up out of the way in a split second. Gets boring really fast. Shaq as a character in a Mortal Kombat-style fighter, in his basketball uniform. Rea... |

College Chalks Up Another Success Story
THE Salvation Army's Shukrani International College of Business Management and Administration in Tanzania has undergone many changes in recent years. Originally the college offered only secretarial courses but now – as is clear from its recently changed name – it is branching out into office administration, marketing and business management. The college's mission statement says it seeks 'to provide quality, affordable, career-oriented education at a national and international standard in a Christian environment without discrimination; to produce graduates who are employable and entrepreneurial, and able to contribute to the development of Tanzania and other African countries; to provide consultancy and advisory services to the private and public sectors in our areas of expertise; [and] to provide special opportunities for the disabled, orphans and the deprived marginalised'. Major Christine Watson, college principal, explains: 'We are doing our best to offer courses that are practical in orientation, with high employability so that students are competent and experienced in facets of their course before going out into the workforce.' She adds: 'Because of the government's strategy to encourage the setting up of small businesses to help people overcome poverty, all our diploma level students study entrepreneurship or small business management. Our hope is that if students are not able to find employment then they will have the skills to make a comfortable living by setting up and running a small business.' In her 'Principal's welcome note' on the college's website (www.shukranicollege.ac.tz) Major Watson writes: 'Since the foundation of the college in 1995, the motto has been "Quality Education and Services". I have embraced this motto and along with the college team we do our best to deliver education of a high standard.' Some of the methods are practical but could be seen as slightly unorthodox. Entrepreneurship tutor Mr Sam Ogwang, a former university lecturer in Uganda, is himself a manager of some small businesses and he is able to share his experiences with the students. In the photographs shown here he is teaching the students the practicalities of chalk-making. Before reaching this practical stage the students conducted a marketing analysis, finding out how many schools and learning institutions there are in the Mbeya area – where the college is situated – and how many use chalk. They worked out the start-up costs of materials and equipment, and even conducted research so they know how to test for water content and chalk hardness. They calculated the time of a chalk production cycle and made allowances for chalk breakage. It was a great experience and suddenly the theory of business plans and market analysis makes sense because they have put them into practice. When asked about the chalk-making task, the students were mainly positive. One participant, Joshua, said: 'I liked the workshop because I now know how to make chalk and I am confident that I could run a chalk-making business in the future. I like it when we "do" things in class – I learn best from practical lessons and can remember them better than just learning theory.' Another student, Sarah, agreed: 'I liked it very much,' she said. 'I would like very much to have a chalk-making business.' One student, Herbert, had practical concerns that showed how the project is forcing the students to ask the right questions. He told Major Watson: 'It was very good, but if I want to start a business in chalk-making, where do I get the capital for start-up costs?' This sort of practical experience means Shukrani International College graduates have a history of getting into employment very quickly but Major Watson acknowledges that these are particularly tough times. 'If our students are unable to get employment,' she says, 'we pray they will find a way to make a good living by running a business. Here at Shukrani International College we are doing our best to equip them for the future, whatever it may be.' These photos show the process of chalk-making, from initial calculations and the weighing and mixing of ingredients right through to the satisfying moment when the sticks of chalk can be removed from the mould

New category! Twilight losing her mind PMV! Yep, I can do that. Just try and stop me.
Check it out after the break!
Oh my Celestia, again with the Ponies and System of a Down. lol
Not sure if this works ALL that well, but i do appreciate the effort. :3
I like the effects used though, that was well done.
This is a category that could result in some really interesting "Twilight going bonkers" videos. This one was definitely one of them. I say, keep em coming!
I can´t watch it... I hate you Gema! I hate you! No love and tolerance for you, just hate and agony!
System? Is that short for something?
Let me just file this away for now then...
System of a Down.
Song is 'This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I'm On This Song'
Ah, one of my favorite System of a Down songs + crazy Twilight. Best PMV.
It was great untill that guy started shouting...
Turned off sound and enjoyed the rest of clip in peace :D
>Just try and stop me.
Phoe says to her minion:
Get my rope
I'm not sure what I just watched but...
I think I like it...
*kicks a chair and flips a table* ... sorry, I rock too hard. I like SOAD if it didn't show.
Sooo.... how soon until we get Ponies and SOAD's Prison Song? Or maybe Bounce?
This is a song I sent my friend when he thought I was insane for watching a show for girls
Its only a matter of time before twilight comes to me....
I know exactly how this PMV feels. Too much reading, not enough sleep. BAM! CHAOS! DAMN my love for fanfics! I'm a, er... a fanfic fanatic! Ooo. Great PMV in my humble, bloodsoaked opinion.
The intro and the ending were the best parts. The singing was meh.
@James Rye
Go get firefox and prox tube
that combination works perfectly fine
So i guess SOAD and ponies mix well, or atleast they do now
wow that came out GREAT! dude did the lip syncing like flawlessly and all that custom effects really put it over the top xD great video!
That lip-syncing is the best lip-syncing. All the bipolar Twi you could ever want.
System of a Down!

2012 bottle from Jim M. Thanks! Poured into my LA Teku.
A: Pours in an inky, almost treacly manner to the glass. Fills up with a solid dark mocha head which fades quickly. Some carbonation bubbles are disturbing the surface of this black puddle. Legs are thick, thick, thick.
N: Hearty bourbon with a big chocolate and espresso background. Vanilla and caramel and oak. Coconut and more fudge. Brown sugar and some molasses. Big sweet sugars here. Some rye and oatmeal.
T: Very, very sweet. Bourbon appropriates the top level here and adds a sweet sting on top of a very pronounced sweet malt body. There's a little bit of earth, pine and spice from what I assume are the hops and there's some additional roast. This has some surprising balance, though it's still a heavy confection. Does have a salty soy sauce aspect.
M: Super boozy, but it's got a wonderfully filling mouthfeel. Other RIS's should pay attention to this aspect, it's the best I've had outside Apple Brandy Hunahpu's.
O: I wish I had split this bottle because it's absolutely going to sit in my stomach, but at the same time, I don't think I'm going to get sick of it. This might get a few more points if it turned down the bourbon heat, but at the same time, it's done an excellent job of making both the bourbon and the stout distinct, so what else can you want?

2011 vintage.
A- Poured dark and thick, black in color. Barely any head or noticeable carbonation. Dark brown lacing.
S- Bourbon, vanilla, coconut, some booze on the nose as well. The smell is sweet, I don't get as much chocolate or bitterness that I got when I had this fresh. The aroma is mostly bourbon and vanilla.
T- Bitter on the tongue as it goes down, and has a dominant coffee flavor. It's so much different from when I had it fresh. I remember tons of bourbon in the taste, and I'm honestly barely getting any. There is some vanilla in the aftertaste, but it's predominantly coffee and a bitter dark chocolate flavor throughout. Reminds me of KBS.
M- Could use a little more carbonation, but it's nice and thick.
O- More than I could say I'm disappointed, I'm just so surprised. This is the same exact beer I had fresh 2 years ago, and it's completely different. It's a little sweeter which I expected, but it has so much more coffee presence and so much less bourbon. It really reminds me of KBS, which is not a bad thing at all but the first time I had it it reminded me of Parabola. I'm putting this one down as a beer not worth aging. It's delicious in its own right still, but I enjoyed it so much more fresh. Still a solid barrel-aged offering from Dark Horse, and one of the better barrel-aged stouts floating around in my opinion. For those of you that are aging a few: drink them.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large dark brown foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma consists of light dry roasted malt notes with some black chocolate notes with medium bourbon notes with some vanilla undertones. Taste is also dominated by creamy black chocolate notes with some light dry roasted malt. Body is full with creamy texture and good carbonation with no apparent alcohol. Not as complex as I was expecting but very well balance overall with chocolate and bourbon creating an efficient mix.

12 oz bottle poured into my CBS snifter
A: Opaque dark, deep black with no light getting through this. 2 finger brown head which fades quickly into a thin collar and some wandering, appealing laces.
S: Smell is of dark chocolate, bourbon, oak, vanilla. Huge! A smooth smoky and nutty scent along with some dark fruits and a bit of alcohol follow.
T: Massive dark chocolate, sweet and roasted malts. Bourbon, vanilla very well blended to this malty profile. The upcoming booze brings dark fruits aroma. Finishes on nutty and resinous hops notes.
M: Full bodied, sweet, creamy, a bit chewy but not sticky. Not as warming as one could expect given the ABV. Easily drinkable. Just perfect!
O: A beautiful barrel aged stout. Smell and taste profiles are huge, massive. But this is so easy to drink, so good !

the 1st "Good Beer Sunday" review drinking down the cellar, special thank you to woodchopper for throwing this one in as an extra, 2012 in snifter
A - pours a jet black, little bit of a mocha colored head that faded quickly
S - very smooth smell, well balanced mocha/coffee/hot boozy smell but the booze balances well
T - intial flavor is a smooth well made creamed coffee taste, I find too many BA Stouts have a more bitter burnt coffee taste, not this one, very smooth. The end note is a little hot, to be expected but again balanced well
M - great mouthfeel, nice and heavy
O - overall this is a really well made, well balanced smooth drinking BA RIS, I prefer this over a new KBS. If I have not said it enough, smooth and balanced!

the beer pours a jet black with a thin tan halo of tan head...rather ominous. the nose is slightly boozy, intense earthy chocolate/coffee, and bourbon vanilla. the taste is intense caramel upfront, burning booze, lingering milk chocolate and a touch of bitterness. the mouhfeel is definitely thick, full bodied and flavorful. Roasty lingering chocolate aftertaste that has a subtle hint of bourbon, but blends well. this is a world class BBA stout that drinks super smooth...tasty

2011 bottle, big thanks to Loweball 727!
Appearance: Black as Eddie Murphy with a small tan head that quickly recedes to the perimeter.
Smell: Oh yea! Barrel notes galore with vanilla, caramel, bourbon, dark fruit, dark chocolate, roasted malt sweetness. I'm even getting a bit of red wine character in there, nice.
Taste: Everything I like about normal Pt5, with barrel character to boot. I was almost afraid to drink this because I thought it would ruin the normal Pt5 for me. I don't even think I would say that this is better, it just adds another dimension with the barrel notes. I like both versions. What I like about this is that the bourbon character isn't overwhelming at all. Rather, it is evident but not overbearingly so and helps the other components to blend together with more unity.
Mouthfeel: This is a bit more viscous than the standard version of this brew. A little more stickiness is evident.
Overall: I love the non bb aged version of this so much, and this is a nice variation. Some of the malt sweetness I love in the fresh version of this beer is muted here, or it is perhaps this way because this is an '11 bottle. Either way, I like this, but until I try a fresh version of this, Fresh Pt5 wins out for me.

Poured from a bottle into a large wine glass
A - black black black. Aggressive pour produces only a small amount of light brown head, which dissipates very quickly into some whisps on top. No lacing.
S - smells mainly of bourbon and oak, some chocolate, booze, vanilla.
T - big blast of smooth vanilla, bourbon, oak up front. Some chocolate notes on the edge, vanilla and hop bittering at the end. Leaves an after taste of vanilla and bourbon. A damn tasty barrel aged stout!
M - it's a bit thinner than I would like. Starts out a little high on the carb, but as it warms the carb settles down. Last third of the pour was very nice.
O - an absolutely fantastic beer. Maybe the best BA stout I've ever tried. If it were a little thicker, it would be perfect. A+, no question.

A 2012 bottle poured into a tulip glass. Beer pours very dark brown, bordering on black, with a half a finger of thin light brown head. Head dissipates immediately to a thin collar and a few patches of lacing, but plenty of alcohol legs on the glass surface.
Nose is big on bourbon, charred oak, toasted nuts, vanilla combined with fruity dark chocolate, freshly brewed espresso, roasted malt, burnt sugar. Even straight out of the fridge, the aromas are huge.
Taste started with a touch of bitter hops, burnt sugar, then lightly bitter dark roasted espresso and roasted malt, lightly smoky, before mellowing into sweeter dark chocolate and caramel. Bourbon flavors flourish on the finish, along with the dark chocolate.
Full bodied, thick and creamy with some soft barely there carbonation. Very sticky on the lips so a bit of residual sugar. A very good imperial stout.

Thanks to Jeff for cracking open one of the last of his stash. BBPt5 pours out even darker than the regular version (which was already darker than a black hole), although it doesn't seem to be quite as syrupy and thick, as this one actually creates some noise and light turbulence as it hits the glass. A dark-ish tan head slowly bubbles up into a thin foam and perches still on top of this black abyss of a beer.
Bringing this one to my nose and taking a big whiff reveals its huge bourbon barrel characteristics - there's no denying that this bad boy spent some considerable time encased in boozy wood. The bourbon in the aroma is very smooth, however, not harsh, pungent, or stinging like many of these BBA beers can tend to be. Other notable aromas include vanilla, light coconut, mild wood, roasted malts. There's also some sweet brown sugar and a huge, creamy coffee undertone that can be found on the back end. This is really a complex beer, just from the aroma alone. Sometimes BBA beers can kind of blend together and get repetitive, but this one smells wonderful and distinct.
BBPt5 slides across my palate as I take the first sip - it's super creamy and smooth, maybe even more so than the original (not surprisingly so). The first tastes to emerge are light syrup and sweet molasses. Before long, the bourbon inches its way into the flavor profile, but just like the aroma, it remains very smooth and easy to handle. Warming, but not "hot", and it's wonderful. Some heavy oak and vanilla tones charge in about halfway through.
As it warms up, I pick up more generous notes of dark, thick fudge and even some lightly sweet, dark fruits. Roasted coffee bounces in and out for pretty much the entire duration - a big component in the base beer that certainly isn't lost through the barrel. Overall, a seriously well developed and complex beer. Even in the finish, there are still a ton of things going on; mostly dark fudge, roasted coffee beans, sweet and warming bourbon, and heavy oak. The body stays creamy throughout - heavy and lightly chewy, low-medium carbonation - more carbonated than the base beer, which as surprising.
Considering the high 14% ABV tag, this beer was insanely drinkable. I've never seen bourbon show up so heavily while remaining so smooth and tame at the same time. This is a barrel-aged beer done correctly - the flavors meld together extremely well. One of the best bourbon barrel beers I've had.
After having this back-to-back(-to-back?) with KBS, Black Note, and BCBS, I think I can finally and honestly say that this is my favorite of the bunch. They are all extraordinary brews, but the thing that really sets BB Plead the Fifth apart is the incredible smoothness of the bourbon. Not ONCE, not even after warming up for nearly an hour, does the bourbon ever seem any bit stronger than "warm". So incredibly smooth and complex. Fantastic integration of the barrel flavors with the base beer as to not mask or hide any of the substantial flavors, either. Probably my favorite Bourbon Barrel beer. I love this stuff.

Vintage 2011: The grand finale to the night spent with jzeilinger. Poured this between the two of us. This beer was black it had a brown head that was faded quickly but left a ring around the edge of the glass. The look of the beer is pretty typical for the style. The smell of the beer is surprising to me, I expected the barrel aging to stand out a lot more on this. There is some vanilla on the nose along with some other sweet aromas. The taste of the beer is also really subtle. I was surprised by this, Really thought you'd be able to get much more intense flavors of the barrel and the bourbon. It's a great tasting beer regardless. The mouthfeel is thick and gently carbonated, it's a very smooth beer. Overall it's much more balanced than I expected, it's a solid beer from start to finish. I would have enjoyed a little more bourbon on it though. It's good but I don't feel it's worth the 100% rating on here.

Poured into a small snifter. Ultra black color with not a hint of highlights. Head is almost non existent but does have a nice collar that is light brown colored and leaves just a bit of lace.
Smell is quite bourbon forward. Lots of vanilla, burnt wood, tart dark fruit. Definitely some alcohol. Very very nice!!
Taste is lots of roast, char, chocolate, vanilla, some mild tart cherries. Tons of booze but not unwelcome.
Body is viscous and rich, mouth is full with medium to mild carbonation. Finish is very long and wet.
Overall I was very impressed with this. I have had the base beer and enjoyed it but the barrel did an amazing job to this. Very smooth and rich barrel characters reminded me a lot of Parabola or Old Raspy XI. Possibly a bit better and more drinkable.

How do I thank Steimie enough for this bottle? Thank you so much man!
2012 vintage 12oz bottle with silver wax poured into Kuhnhenn tulip
Pour: The pour on this was very thick and very dark black with not a hint of light coming through. There was a half finger of dark brown head that did not last. Lacing is spotty to non existent but the alcohol legs are all over the sides of the glass.
Smell: Chocolate fudge brownie or cake drizzled with bourbon! There is a touch of coffee, vanilla and a pleasant oak character.
Taste: Huge rich chocolate up front with some roasted notes mixed in. There is the vanilla, coconut and definite oak. Some coffee, though mild comes through without creating much bitterness and considering the abv it is very well hidden. An absolutely phenomenally well balanced beer!
Mouthfeel: Oh so thick and creamy coating the palate very well creating a definite full beer. Carbonation seems just right here.
Overall: Without Steimie's great generosity I would not have had the opportunity to try this sensational beer. I never would have thought I would say this but I have found a BA stout that gives my all time favorite BCBS a run for it's money! Like I said before this is just so well balanced it is an absolute enjoy to sip on. BCBS is an in your face bourbon bomb that I too enjoy but wow this is just a perfect balance with the bourbon complementing everything else.

Big thanks to maximumu13 for this particular bottle. 2012 vintage. Reviewed from notes. Poured from wax-sealed 12 oz. bottle into a Russian River pint glass.
A: Pours an opaque, nearly-jet black. Forms a thin brown head with low visible carbonation.
S: Oak, bourbon, chocolate, sweet vanilla and woody with tobacco, rum-soaked raisins and other such dark fruit. Very nice.
T: Follows the nose. Chocolate, coffee malts with big bourbon flavors over the oaky vanilla, rum raisins, roasty bittered malt. This is really tasty.
M: Thick, heavy body, creamy mouthfeel. Low carbonation, and the alcohol presence is fairly heavy as expected.
O: Wow. This one lived up to the hype, and perhaps surpassed it as far as I'm concerned. I'm very impressed. Highly recommended.

Presentation: Gray waxed 12 oz. bottle chilled and poured into a Cigar City snifter glass. 2012 vintage with an ABV listed 11%. With the huge amount of snowfall, a barrel aged imperial stout seemed like the way to go.
Appearance: As close to midnight black as possible. Pours a one finger dark brown head that quickly recedes into a light lacing.
Aroma: Really surprisingly good balance in the nose for 11%. Lots of chocolate fudge, dark fruit, vanilla and bourbon. The alcohol is there and isn't hidden at all, but it works really well.
Taste: Big sweet chocolate fudge tones with really strong bourbon barrel tones. Big caramel, vanilla, oak and bourbon throughout. The barrel is very well integrated with the base. There is a touch of booziness but it works well with this kind of beer. I really like the dark fruit tones that incorporate even more sweetness into the beer. Really tasty.
Mouthfeel: Medium to full bodied overall, but a little light for the style. Goes down very smooth.
Overall, a top tier barrel aged stout. It is a bit big and boozy at times, but I really like the big, sweet characteristics of this beer. The barrel is incredibly well integrated and really enhances the base beer. I remember not really loving this base beer, but the barrel makes this one of the best in this style.

Received as an extra in a trade. Cracked this on the eve of the blizzard of 2013 in honor of surviving a day of work and a strenuous car ride home. Poured into my Duvel tulip.
A - Pours a wonderful dark, rich brown with a very nice quarter inch dark chocolate head that fades to leave a thin blanket and a fluffier halo.
S - Woah. Alright, so yeah. The alcohol is super faint. Nice gentle bourbon (dont get me wrong, its there but not in a burning, boozy sense), rich, deep bakers chocolate. Some nice roasted malt notes, and almost like a cookie batter type aroma. That combination of malts, vanilla, chocolate lends a very cookie like aroma. Loving it.
T - Oh, hi there coffee. how are you today? Nice coffee notes along with some more bourbon. The alcohol continues to be light, with good chocolate notes, faint barrel notes as well. Nice vanilla too.
M - Chewy, lowly carbonated, with that 14% hidden nicely. Nice and creamy.
O - Overall, this was a very, very tasty bourbon barrel stout. Its hard to believe that regular Plead the 5th becomes this. Unreal.

The second bottle originally gifted as a trade helper with the trade falling through. Generous BA says, "drink that shit!"
A - this beer is oil slick black with a deep brown haze of a quarter inch head. The carbonation is scant and the lacing, minimal.
S - the bourbon notes hit first and foremost; the are some chocolate cherry hints here as well; I'm getting some toffee and roasted chocolate too
T - wow...surprised with all the coffee flavor considering I missed those coffee notes on the nose; roasted chocolate malt; a bit o that bourbon and toasted oak; man, the coffee notes are heavy; a bit of toasted vanilla and toffee
M - again, I'm a bit shocked with something in this beer, the carbonation. Like, it's flat up front and fizzy on the way down...really hard to describe actually. It's creamy and full bodied for sure; nice swill overall; I had to edit this after realizing its 14%abv...it drinks like it is 7-8%...wow
O - so yeah, I'm surprised on a few elements of this beer. I really didn't think the coffee was going to shine through so much, but this beer is really coffee forward. I kind of wishes for more bourbon notes, but overall, this beer is well-balanced and smooth drinking. Nice!

Bottle of the 2011 vintage poured into my snifter.
A: Jet black with a mocha colored head that did not stay for long.
S: Roasty malts, chocolate, bourbon. Slight scent of coffee.
T: Chocolate, oak, bourbon, caramel, vanilla. Surprisingly drinkable for a 14% stout. Nice dark chocolate aftertaste lingers in the mouth.
M: Medium to full body, thick and creamy. Great medium carbonation and absolutely no alcohol burn. Excellent for the style.
O: Excellent beer. One of my favorite barrel aged stouts to date.

Who are the most influential lawyers in the land?
All the news and gossip from the world of law
Chris Grayling was castigated over plans to end people's choice of lawyer today when hundreds of members of the legal profession protested over radical changes to legal aid. Successive speakers — some in wigs and gowns and in front of a coffin marked "RIP legal aid" — condemned the Justice Secretary's plans to slice another £220 million from the legal aid bill. People facing criminal charges will in future be represented by a state-appointed lawyer — leading to miscarriages of justice, the lawyers warned. The plans will introduce in price competitive tendering for l
The public has a right to know about the private conduct of politicians, the Court of Appeal has ruled. Three senior judges rejected claims by a former mistress of Boris Johnson that the existence of her daughter, an alleged lovechild of the Mayor of London, should be kept secret. Speculation began after Helen Macintyre, an art consultant who helped to raise funds for Anish Kapoor's Orbit tower in the Olympic Park, gave birth to a girl in November 2009. Mr Johnson's wife, Marina, threw him out of their house after reports that the child was his. Miss Macintyre moved out of the home she shared
More court closures are being lined up for Scotland in addition to those already announced, the chief executive of the Scottish Court Service has said. New "justice centres" could means that areas such as the Borders take all court business under one roof, Eric McQueen told MSPs on Holyrood's Justice Committee. The proposal was greeted with alarm by opposition politicians, who are already fighting proposals to close ten sheriff courts. Mr McQueen said that feasibility studies on the new proposals would begin this month, extending to areas in Strathclyde, Fife and the Highlands. Justice centre
The Director of Public Prosecutions said yesterday that a ban on naming people who have been arrested could harm justice. Keir Starmer, QC, said that suspects in some cases should be identified to draw out further evidence and make a charge more likely. He told MPs that it was important to retain discretion so that suspects could be named in some cases, such as sexual assaults. "I certainly want wriggle-room on naming in some cases. It is one of the most powerful tools we have. There should not be a blanket rule. There should be circumstances where [suspects] are named," Mr Starmer said. His

Get water logged with Water Log
The Windows Phone app Water Log is designed to help remind you to drink water during the day. Part of being fit is proper nutrition and part of proper nutrition is drinking plenty of water every day. How much water is "plenty"? Some sources cite 3 liters for men and 2.2 liters for women. Then there's the "8 glasses a day" rule and Bing searches on the subject will find other recommendations and equations.
While opinions vary on how much water we should be drinking on a daily basis, it is important you drink. Water Log tracks your daily water consumption and reminds you to keep drinking. Water Log is a simple, yet effective way to meet your daily nutritional goals during Fitness Month and beyond.
Water Log's main screen illustrates your daily progress. You have a glass icon that is tapped whenever you consume a glass of water or you can tap the + or - button below the icon to record your water intake.
From the settings, you can set your daily goal of glasses of water (8 is the default), choose to animate the glass icon and set a reminder to drink a glass of water every hour. Water Log does have Live Tile support that will display your current water consumption.
There are two downside to Water Log. First is that Water Log won't reset every day automatically or provide a history of your water consumption. Every morning you'll have to reset the counter from the main progress page of the app. It's not a major issue but I could see it coming in handy to have at least the counter reset daily.
Second is that Water Log measures your water intake by the glass without really defining what a "glass" is. It could be a 6oz. Dixie Cup or a 32oz. Big Gulp. It would be nice to define the volume of water as well as the glass. Neither issue really hurts the app but keeps the tracking more "in general" than specific consumption. The reminder feature is a really nice touch but the accounting needs a little refinement.
If you need an app to remind you to drink water and help you track your daily consumption of water, Water Log is worth a look. Water Log is a free, ad-supported app for your Windows Phone and you can find it here in the Windows Phone Store.

Really? You need an app to remind you to drink a glass of water. I think you need an app to. . . Wait a minute, time for my glass of water. . . Ok. . . buy a brain.
Chemilinski says:
Well, yeah, your point is a sane one but.. I often go through a whole working day on maybe three cups or gulps from a bottle of liquid and I don't feel this does me much good. The less water you drink the higher chance of gall stones collecting in your kidneys so this isn't a stupid idea in my opinion.
Fiann says:
Gall stones collect in your gall bladder. Kidney stones collect in your kidneys.
I do agree with you though. I tend to go most of the day without drinking much. Having a reminder might help with that.
GizmoEV says:
The reality is that as we age our ability to accurately determine when we are thirsty goes down. Because of this, most adults are walking around in a dehydrated state. This leads to a host of problems which too often aren't linked to dehydration. This app can help those of us who tend to focus in on whatever we are working on to the exclusion of everything else, including remembering to get a drink.
TonyDedrick says:
This will definitely come in handy. I'm bad with keeping up with my water intake during the day
WPmunkey says:
It's nice to have a reminder to drink as well as a way to keep track of how much. My problem airs more on the side of "did I drink a whole gallon of water today yet?". Of course I actually, you know, stay active and don't sit around dreaming about a Nissan all day. Generalizations are fun!
jlynnm350z says:
Hey, leave my beloved Nissan out of this. She didn't do anything to you.
abel920 says:
Yay! This comes in handy. I do tend to forget my 8 glasses rule.
1jaxstate1 says:
Holy crap. Just download this app earlier, and now it's featured. Creepy!
Residing says:
@jlynnm350z...Well, sometimes some will need some sort reminder, especially if they are following a new protocol ( i.e. 100 oz of water a day).
I have to consume at least 20 oz at each meal to meet my daily goal; if I miss a meal, I miss water, and I miss my goal.
I think this app will be good for those who need it, especially if it helps them form the habit of drinking plenty of water each day.
futurewhippet says:
Breathing. Where's my app for helping me with breathing? There's probably one on iOS. To be fair, they need it :-)
iamoniwaban says:
I need this app. Because I drink maybe 1/2 glass a day
mr toes says:
Yes you need this app
Btw how are you still alive? ;)
bdlou says:
As the author of this app, I must say that I am truly honored and humbled that my app is being featured today. I wrote this app as a sort of self New Years Resolution in 2012. I didn't want to set a resolution per-se, but wanted to attack something that I could change in my daily routine. (That something being the massive amounts of Diet Pepsi I consumed on a daily basis.) So I set forth and created Water Log as a way to learn how to code for Windows Phone, and hopefully make a change in my routine. I can honestly say it helped me learn how to code for Windows Phone. ;-) (Though to be fair, I stopped drinking soda right before Thanksgiving, and have not fallen off that wagon yet.)
I also want to throw out an apology here, because in my local version of code, I actually do have daily resetting implemented. I take all the feedback I get very seriously. The main requests I get are for daily reset, actually logging, and being able to choose the measurement amount.
I've got the logging working, but hit roadblocks regarding displaying the data on a chart properly. I'd also gotten sidetracked by a nasty bug where the notifications started going off and would constantly go off over and over. This sadly turned out to be debug code that I added that was hidden off somewhere that I didn't realize got left behind.
The measurement thing is a dilema for me. I made the app generic so that the user could decide what the number meant. I started coding it, but couldn't get passionate about it and tabled it. I'll definitely reconsider it.
Seeing the app featured is kinda special to me, and very much appreciated. I will make it a goal to get some of these changes finalized and published in an update soon. Please feel free to send any feedback you have to me through the app itself.
Thank you, and good luck to everyone in their quest for health, and drinking more water!
the_Enlightened says:
Keep up the good work! I'll download it now
Jazmac says:
Rolling at these comments. LOL. For those of us living in the desert, if the 117 degree heat isn't enough to convince you, you need this app.
xrs22 says:
I don't drink water at all and my body is used to it at the age of 37. Might be useful to me, water just makes me hungry and I don't eat a lot as it is.
MrSean490 says:
The environment in which I'm in during the day time isn't really compatible with getting a glass of water and honestly I do forget to drink from my water bottle. In the end I just drink a lot of water from 6pm ~ 1am.
Howard Smith says:
EVERY single human being has this app built in to their own operating system. It's called feeling thirsty. That is your body telling you to hydrate. Drinking unnecessary amounts of water can lead to bladder and prostate problems later in life. Just saying........
hyui says:
Not everyone quenches the thirst early enough as the feelig of beeing thirsty differs from person to person.
The Body is able to absorb an special amount of water per hour. I remember 100 or 150 ml/h, but can be wrong with that.
Not wrong is the habbit to drink several small doses of water spread over the whole day.
It's better than forgetting to drink until 6p.m. and trying to compensate that by drinking 2-3 litres in the last 3 or 4 hours of that day.
mjrtoo says:
I suppose having a reoccurring calendar appointment a few times a day might be easier, make a new calendar just for that.

SEO contest have been running for some time, the first known recorded contest was the German SEO contest Schnitzelmitkartoffelsalat in 2002[1]. Later on in 2004 the first English-language contest was nigritude ultramarine[2]. For the next following years more and more contest came out, some good ones, some bad ones, some with a very large prize, and some with just little prizes, but what makes a good SEO contest? A good contest is one that is fair to all competitors, avoiding any negative perceptions on the SEO industry, and has clear rules in determining the winners. Below are a few SEO contest guidelines of what makes a good SEO contest.
- A Good SEO Contest Avoids Any Unfair Advantage of a Competitor
- Domain Age and Page Age
Entries should be brand new sites on a brand new domain. Page age and domain are ranking factors, that those with old websites will have an advantage over new sites. - Keywords in the Domain
If the official keyword is the exact phrase of a dot com domain, this will have an advantage of sending signals to Google that the domain is the official brand of the targeted keyword and Google does prefer to determine the official brand page of a keyword. Although it may not be 100% accurate in determining a branded term or not, but it will try its best and an exact phrase .com domain of the contest keyword is showing these sites. Although just because you have the exact phrase as your domain, you automatically have a large lead in the game. There is what Google calls the Exact Match Domain (EMD) update where Google tries to determine if an exact match domain to a search keyword is really an official site, or just a site riding on the popularity of the keyword and does not really have quality content on pages. The EMD update will penalize these sites and get pushed down in ranking.
In the SEO World Championship[3] in 2007 organized by Swedish SEO company GetUpdated, used the keyword GlobalWarming Awareness2007, and just when the contest started, GetUpdate has already registered the domains globalwarmingawareness2007.com, globalwarmingawareness2007.net, and globalwarmingawareness2007.org.
In a contest by Branders.com called Promote Your Business[4] in 2008 used the keyword phrase: promotional items corporate gifts srednarb. And to avoid any keyword in domain advantage, the official rule was each competitor can only use a maximum of 2 words from the contest phrase within the domain name.
- Domain Age and Page Age
- SEO Contest should use a keyword phrase that has zero search results
A contest keyword phrase can have zero results if a unique word that does not exist in any dictionary and is not used by anyone. This gives an equal ranking baseline among all competitors. No site will have any previous keyword history usage advantage. No other site will have any relationship advantages from getting links from sites using the keyword. - An SEO Contest Should Not Disturb Any Current Industry
This is probably more of an ethical request. Following this rule is not only good for the SEO industry, but also avoids search engine algorithm changes that always throw of SEO professionals.
In February of 2008, Morgan Carey of Real Estate Webmasters decided to run an SEO contest with the keyword phrase: Greatest Real Estate Agent In The World[5] The problem with this keyword, they were common everyday words. This caused many search results to pop up in the Search Engine Results Pages that were not about real estate agents. They were all about SEO contest. What does this mainly do?
- It gives a bad search experience
People interested in actually searching for a good real estate agent ends up not finding one and just finding a bunch of sites about SEO. In effect this gives SEO professionals a negative impression and will be generally perceived as spammers. - Google will want to clean up the SERPs
Google makes money from ads served in search results. Advertisers want to serve ads on Google because many people use it. Many people use Google because of the quality of search results. And if the quality of search results suffer, they lose the users, and when they lose the user, they lose the advertisers and the money. To avoid this from happening, Google will find a way to clean up the search results and will find algorithmic implementation that will affect all search results in general. So bear in mind, whenever there is an algorithmic change, most of the time, it was caused by the SEOs messing up the search experience.
- It gives a bad search experience
- Search Engine Parameters Should Be Very Specific
Search engines may show different search results based on a number of factors, from localization, personalization, data center propagation, and other factors. Thus if SEO competitors are seeing a different result from the contest organizer, there can be some conflicts and complaints from different parties. Below are a few things that would be appropriate to clear up in the rules of an SEO competition:
- Google Country Version
Google.com is the main Google website but there are many Google country versions on almost every ccTLD[6]. Each Google site may show some discrepancies in search result even if searching for the same keyword. - City Location
Under Search tools, in some countries, a specific city can be mentioned. If the contest organizer does not clear up what city should be used, competitors may see different results. - Personalization
- Log out of a Google Account
Google has some personalization of results where it tries to analyze the type of results you prefer based on your browsing habits and search result selections. When logged into a Google account, these preferences are tied to that account. - Run Incognito Mode
Incognito Mode (Google Chrome) or Private Web Browsing (Firefox) are settings on your web browser to not save any cookies and web browsing history. As Google can also be looking into these sources of information of browsing habits, preferences and can still up with personalize results. - Minimize Parameters
For every search on Google, multiple parameters are still passed to them. From referring URL, button clicks, type of web browser, and much more. The more information passed, the more you are still identifiable even if running private browsing settings and logged off. - Disable Personal Web Search
Google has created a search parameter you can actually pass in the URL that specifically tells Google to turn of Personal Web Search.
- Log out of a Google Account
- Avoid Propagation Issues
Although this is less of a problem these days with Google's multiple updates in the past, from the Big Daddy and Caffeine updates where Google has been faster in updating all data centers worldwide, there can still be some small time frames where search results will still be different in different search engines. Thus a contest organizer can specific a specific IP address to use. But if an IP address is overused, Google may block off that IP for a long time. So it all depends on the contest organizer if they want to set this rule or not. If ever they will not, they will then have to specify the physical location of where the final results will be drawn since the Google displays search results often from the data center closest to the location of the user searching.
- Google Country Version
Although all of these rules are applied to Google, if the SEO contest for another search engine, just as apply as many of the items listed above as possible.

Hi all
I need to put some text on a texture at runtime.
I tried to use setRenderTarget targeting the image on a cube and a static text on it but it didn't work out so good... actually it didn't work at all.
So is there a way to do this in a somewhat normal way?

Shopping For A Home Online
At first the process of shopping for a new home is exciting and fun. Once you've chosen the real estate agent, you get to travel all over town and look at houses that may become your next home. However, after a while, this process gets pretty tedious. You'll spend whole weekends trekking from one location to another, finding homes that are disappointing or overpriced. A house advertised as a 4 bedroom is in reality a 3 bedroom with a converted utility room or garage space. Remodeled may mean the previous owners installed a "repurposed" oven in the kitchen. New carpet seems to be a relative term, and "view" may mean an unobstructed view of the freeway. A long, unproductive day home shopping is a real hassle particularly if you have to take the kids. Whether shopping for your first home or relocating for the umpteenth time, you can waste a lot of time and energy trying to fine just the right house. Luckily, many realtors are using the internet to simplify the process.
With online home shopping, you log on to a realtor's site with a password and user name provided by your agent. You can peruse the available listings every day from the comfort of your home. The sites vary, but, basically, you input the necessary parameters for the home you desire: bedrooms, baths, fireplace, pool, price, location; whatever, and the potential home are presented. You tour the homes online. Pictures are in color and show different views of the home, rooms, and landscape. Smart sellers have multiple pictures for buyers to see. This way you can see the actual interior and exterior and can indicate, on the site, whether or not you are interested and want to visit. You can't know if the home reeks of smoke or pet stains, but you can see the layout and general condition of the home. The sites even offer a map to the property.
This is great boon for relocation buyers who can now shop for a home hundreds of miles away. Realtors provide information about neighborhoods, schools, recreation, public transit, churches and synagogues on internet sites. The internet will save you a lot of stress by allowing you to narrow your search to those homes you are really interested in. You can shop home loans on the internet as well. Realtors, lenders, sellers, and buyers agree the internet can work to your advantage.
