Magic tablet
Discuss20on this wiki
"Tab" redirects here. This term also refers to a feature of the Bank.
Magic tablets are magic spells that are sealed into clay. This allows the spell to be used later or to sell them. Clicking on the magic tablet in the inventory activates the spell. These are not the same as Runecrafting teleport tablets obtained from The Great Orb Project, as these tablets can only be made in player-owned houses and Runecrafting teleport tablets could only be received through The Great Orb Project minigame. They are currently members only objects.
Contents |
Making magic tabletsEdit
Magic tablets are created from soft clay and runes using a lectern in a player-owned house. A player brings the runes for the spell they wish to make, a magic staff to take place of elemental runes (optional), and the soft clay to the appropriate lectern. The lectern can be in the house of another player. By clicking on the lectern a screen will appear showing the magic tablets that can be constructed at that lectern. After selecting a spell, the clay changes into a stackable magic tablet and the magic tablet selection window disappears. Magic tablet building requires that the player has the appropriate magic level and brings the required runes for casting the spell. You do not have to have the standard spellbook on to make the tablets. After completion of the quest Love Story you can use a chisel on the tablets to change their destination to any of the player-owned house portals.
Regardless of the tablet being made, the "Camelot Teleport" tablet is shown during creation. A "C" is visible, especially in screenshots.
If you are in a player-owned house while making tabs and the owner of the house expels guests or you leave the using the leave house button, the tabs will continue to be made, and the animation will continue, unless you move.
When lecterns were first introduced, the player was required to click repeatedly on the lectern to make each tablet, but an update changed the procedure so there is now a "make-all" option, which made the entire process much more convenient for the user.
The Magic experience is assigned during the creation of the tablets and the amount is equal to the normal casting of the spell, with the exception of enchant spells (e.g. enchant ruby) which gives 75% of the normal experience. No Magic experience is gained by activating the tablet.
Usage informationEdit
All magic tablets are tradeable (except chipped House Teleport tablets). This provides players with a method to gain the benefit of a spell before reaching the required Magic level to cast it (except for the Ardougne and Watchtower, which require quests before using). Magic tablets also are useful in situations where inventory space is critical and/or where the inventory based activation is useful. Players on a different spellbook (Lunar magic or Ancient Magicks), may find it useful to have access to a subset of spells from the normal spellbook. You do not have to be on the standard spellbook to make the tablets. Players who don't want experience in magic might also find the tablets useful.
Caution: If an opponent attacks you during a magic tablet's teleport animation, then the hit-splats will appear once you reach the corresponding location. This means that if you use a magic tablet to teleport away from a combat situation, you could die immediately upon relocation. Therefore, magic tablets are a risky means of escape in a High Risk Wilderness World server or another area where retrieval of your belongings is impossible. If you use a Teleport to House tablet, however, you can avoid this because you do not lose your items when you die inside your house; instead, you respawn outside of the house portal with all of your items intact.
Magic tablet overviewEdit
The table below lists all the possible magic tablets. The columns in the table represent the different type of lectern that is required to make a magic tablet. With the exception of two common to both, different lecterns make different tablets. Varrock Teleport and Enchant sapphire (for sapphire jewellery) are the two common tablets available on both lectern types, with the eagle lectern accommodates all the other personal teleports on the normal spellbook, while the demon lectern accommodates all the other jewellery enchantment spells and both bones to food spells (Bones To Bananas and Bones To Peaches)
*Created by using chisel on a teleport to house tablet after completion of the Love Story quest.
The image on the tab has not yet had a graphical update like the rest of the spell icons. The Falador tablet has been updated to avoid confusion and make it easier to identify.
NOTE: Due to the diversity of spells found on different types of lecterns, two different lectern types will be needed to make every type of magic tablet. Players can use different wall decorations in each study to help them remember which lectern they have in each.

What do you geek? Share your own story!
I did not grow up talking Shakespeare at the dinner table. Everything I learned was at the library, by myself. It was my great equalizer. I feasted with the greatest thinkers. I am enlarged.
From the time I was in elementary school and started attending high school productions in Kalamazoo, I have been a huge fan of musical theatre. Whether it's old favorites like Fiddler on the Roof or a recent Broadway production like Next to Normal, I appreciate having the opportunity to come to the library to check out the soundtracks and musical scores.
I actually started playing keyboards/piano back in early high school. Then I moved on to drums (something I originally picked up on through the videogame Rock Band). But, coming from a family of guitar players (and a home infested with multiple guitars of differing shapes and sizes) it was perhaps unavoidable that I would one-day learn to play (my love affair with multiple rock and blues guitar gods also played an influential role).
I like that the library has frequent musical concerts/shows throughout the year. Music is a big part of my life and it's awesome that KPL highlights a lot of local talent for the rest of us to enjoy!
Last summer, we went to the Upper Peninsula to do some camping and relaxing. Little did I know we'd find the most amazing hidden gem: Oswald's Bear Ranch. Mr. Oswald has acres and acres of space to house black bears of all ages and sizes. He rescues cubs from all over the United States. I was lucky enough to have one eat Fruit Loops and Puppy Chow out of my hand and kiss my ear!
I began playing at the age of 17. Upon moving to Kalamazoo, I was impressed with the number and quality of courses in the area. The first time I visited the Kalamazoo Public Library was at the Oshtemo Branch Library following a game at the Oshtemo Township Park. I have always thought that the cooperative relationship between the park and the KPL is one of the most unique things about our library system, and I have been watching the recent development project closely.
I decided to try my hand at knitting when my first grandchild was born. My mother crocheted a baby blanket for each of our sons—I wanted to do the same. So far, I've created one blanket and one shawl. Since then, three more grandchildren have joined our family. ;-) While I discovered I really enjoy knitting, I don't have as much time to give to it as I would like. I especially love looking at all the beautiful books the library offers—the colors, styles, patterns—and dreaming about new projects. I recently joined a knitting group at a local shop to set aside time to devote to knitting—making time to do what a dream about!

SPECIAL KIND OF WOMAN by Jamallah Bergman
February 12, 2013 in black woman white man, Book Reviews, business man, bwwm, bwwm romance, C Reviews, co-workers, Secret Cravings Publishing
Note of apology: I haven't not been posting as much for happy reasons. Life has been a little too bountiful as of late, and I've been struggling to keep up. I'm hoping to have a handle on all my blessings soon–especially since they're keeping me from reading as much as I'd like. Boo-hoo-hoo!
Description: Collin Noonan is handsome, rich, and the youngest executive at his company. He's also an asshole, and is only flirting with plain jane mailroom clerk, Regina Talbot, in order to win a game — basically which executive can bring the ugliest date to their annual "pig party." But then he unexpectedly starts developing feelings for Regina. Will their romance be ruined when she finds out about the real impetus for their budding relationship?
The Good: This is a GREAT concept, and the main character is wonderfully awkward: shy, plus-sized, and really sweet. The story has a lot of heart and good rising action.
The Bad: See Editing Issues. The emotional and physical structure of the story leaves a lot to be desired. It's really hard to get a handle on Colin's motivation throughout. He takes her to a "pig party" then turns around and introduces her to his family within the same weekend. I couldn't even begin to understand his psychology — or Regina's. Her reaction to finding out about Collin's underhanded motivation for asking her out in the first place, fizzles as opposed to sizzles. The rising action is good, good, good on the way up, but then falls flat at the end. I also found it hard to believe that a bunch of executives would dare to participate in a "pig party," using women they work with in this day and age — the plot is a huge sexual harassment case waiting to happen.
The Naughty: Steamy. Explicit language. Sex in restraints.
Editing issues: Lots of typos, weird syntax, and missing commas. Some word misusage and odd turns of phrases. Terrible grammar — especially from Collin, who is supposed to be a bright, young business man. Bad e-publisher alert: this book deserved a much better edit, considering that Secret Cravings Publishing only pays their authors 40% of the cover price in royalties. This author would have been better served working with a freelance editor and releasing the book on her own.

This just in: According to multiple sources close to the company, Facebook is eying IPO on May 17th — depending on whether the SEC agrees that all the reams of paperwork (including those concerning its recent acquisition of Instagram) are in order.
This is in line with earlier reports that the company was going to hit NASDAQ during the third week of May. And also in line with what a single source told CNBC at length, that the social network was considering either the 17th or the 24th to go public.
According to our sources, Facebook will be valued at around $100 billion, reflecting current levels of trading in the secondary markets (and avoiding SEC scrutiny). Other reports say that the company wants to raise $10 billion at a $100 billion valuation, but like Kara Swisher we are hearing that it will be less.
"Investors want as high a price as possible so that the secondary market won't look like a problem," said one of our sources. With 2.51 billion fully-diluted shares outstanding, the valuation desired would price the company at around $40 a share.
We're also hearing that the Millennial Media IPO was pushed up to early April because Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, which were underwriting both offerings, wanted to "make room" for Facebook. Mobile strategy issues and issues around privacy are of the most concern for institutional investors, and some of the former were ameliorated by the Instagram buy.
This biggest issue with these set date plans is that lot of stuff can happen in four weeks, including the collapse of the European economy, another oil crisis or the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria.

Facebook is the world's largest social network, with over 1 billion monthly active users. Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg in February 2004, initially as an exclusive network for Harvard students. It was a huge hit: in 2 weeks, half of the schools in the Boston area began demanding a Facebook network. Zuckerberg immediately recruited his friends Dustin Moskovitz, Chris Hughes, and Eduardo Saverin to help build Facebook, and within four months, Facebook added 30 more college networks.

White Lake to host motorcross ice racing event
The thrills and chills of winter ice racing come once again to the surface of White Lake on Saturday and Sunday.
The White Lake Ice Races is an annual all-terrain vehicle and motorcycle racing event on the frozen surface of White Lake. The ATVs and bikes are modified with various parts such as studded tires to improve their performance on the ice.
Jeremiah Sherman, the event's creator and promoter, said he had to cut back promotion for the event, focusing more on word-of-mouth than anything since racers from across the nation will flock to the lake.
"It's to cut down people attending a little," he said. "Just so it's a little safer of an event, I want to concentrate on locals and people from Oakland
The event usually draws a crowd, with nearly 1,700 tickets sold in one day in a previous year's race. Part of that appeal is the equipment and cash payouts offered, estimated to reach up to $15,000 this year, Sherman said.
The race is dependent on the weather, but not much is going to stop those who make it out.
"The only thing that will stop this event is freezing rain or an unsafe level of ice on the lake" Sherman said. "If it's snowy or sleety, or windy, we're going to race. They're ice racers. It's the postal service of racing."
This year's ice race is not an American Motorcyclist Association District 14 event, unlike previous races, so an AMA membership is not required to register.

If we are going to organize a strike, we need to give it a defining purpose.

Re: Antimisandry Day or Misandry Awareness Day?
the sort of strike I would hope for is one where young men promote their own interests by eschewing the craoulent feminit fools contract ( sucker marriage)and let the new age feisty pert alert gals promote their own
this immediatly would put the slack arsed feminits on their mettle whilst the young guys are saving their money going on overseas holidays promoting their hobbies or skills saving for a grand retirement - sans the ingrate parasite
but I think the Family court would deplore such a state of affairs as their supply of sacrificial victims and their $$$ would dry up
I saw a movie called Apocalypto which featured a scene where young men were being sacrificed by having their hearts cut out and their bodies being thrown down the steps of the very high and steep altar ( Family Court)
this sacrifice obviously had a meaning for the locals ( feminits) which held their bloodthirsty society together ( the Gods: the Gynocracy was sated)
poor young men of the sacrifice however

Re: Antimisandry Day or Misandry Awareness Day?
I'd say Antimisandry Day, as this clearly outlines an unambiguous and justified opposition to misandry from the outset, which differs somewhat to merely drawing awareness (a precursor to laboriously gathering an anti consensus from the uninformed).

Re: Antimisandry Day or Misandry Awareness Day?
I chose that first one. Too many people never heard of misandry. Too many others don't believe it exists.

Re: Antimisandry Day or Misandry Awareness Day?
People must be made aware of misandry. They take for granted it does not exist. Only men can hate women.

Re: Antimisandry Day or Misandry Awareness Day?
MAD DADS, out of California described a group of LA Fathers speaking against young males murdering each other on the streets (circa 1990). Feminists and Androgynists re-branded the term to use against Fathers (1993) and use the term to promote the image of men as mean and angry. In America the Founders of the Ftahers Rights Movement have called for an investigation and refund of "undisributed funds" held with in the economic child support mechanisms of State Court Systems. EU folks should take very serious note that the EU has established a commission headed by three or four women (one from Germany) to explore domestic violence, in the context of male perpetrated domestic violence, and have called for EU Legislation bearing on all EU Member Nations against male perpetrated domestic violence. This certainly is an American export, and circa 2000, American Men were warning their European Brothers that the National Organization of Women became NOW International, that NOW INtl had a strong alliance with the UAW that also went UAW INtl and would be assailing men in Europe.
Please avoid anything construed as MAD DAD, please highly consider a renewed effort in celebrating Father's Day World Wide.
Re: Antimisandry Day or Misandry Awareness Day?
Messages are always best received if stated in a positive fashion. Anything "anti" or "stop" is on to a loosing footing before it gets going.

Re: Antimisandry Day or Misandry Awareness Day?
I was talking just last night with an old friend. He and I have often jawed about the decline of civilisation due to the increase in entrenched feminism. He's far from a pussy, far from politically unaware.
I directed him this site and was stunned when he genuinely asked me "what is 'misandry'?"
If so few people even know the word, is it worth using it rather than simply saying "against man hatred" or "opposing male discrimination."____________________________________________

For the last few years I've been working on a series of photos of the people I photograph on stage at home with their pets. These photos are of Nick Wheeler from the All-American Rejects and the ever resplendent Dexter.
Nick and I have been talking about taking these photos for a long time, but our constantly conflicting schedules made it difficult. That's the reality of two people who tour trying to find time where they're both in Los Angeles and not working. Back in May we finally got to spend a day doing this. Dex is such a good sport, though he continued to look at us both as if to say "I'm not sure I signed up for this part guys?". It's always great when I get to do these shoots, they're more special when they're folks I've known a long time and know pretty well as was the case here.
There will be more photos of Nick and Dex released through Petfinder in the near future in conjunction with a promotion they're helping out with to encourage pet adoption.
Dexter is the dog that I award the "cutest dog alive" to these days. It's just true, see for yourself:

Fucking dignity, how does it work?

The most formal dress shirts are of course white, french cuffed, spread collared and made from a smooth fabric. But when a man wants to dress more casually there are ways to reduce the formality without the usual practice of using more color or a larger pattern. For example, the cotton Chambray shirt in the photo is meant to be worn under a sweater or an odd jacket, with or without a necktie, and has a hidden buttondown collar that adds a touch of carelessness to its look.
Chambray, also called cotton batiste, is a lightweight, tightly woven cloth with a slightly glossy surface due to reflection from white threads in the warp. Neither the cloth nor the color draw any notice.
The shirt's casualness comes from its straight point collar that is worn without collar stays. The points are attached by buttoning tabs under the collar that permit movement while holding it roughly in place. With a necktie, the points are always just slightly askew, without the fussiness of an unbuttoned buttondown.
And that is dress shirt informality.

Will, it's not to mince words but I was wondering if there are batistes which are not chambrays just as there are chambrays which are not batistes?

I love hidden buttondown collars. Thank you for reminding us of this wonderful variation.

I love the look of a hidden button down collar with an odd jacket and no tie. It provides a rigid standup collar that looks good with the lapel of the jacket. I also think the look is cleaner and more distinguished then a standard button down collar, which in my opinion is less formal than even this option.

Will, my business travel schedule has gone through the roof this year with no sign of letting up. I find the convenience of "no iron" shirts (i.e. from Jos. A. Banks) functionally appealing but the fit is awful. What is it about the fabric that makes it "no iron" & how can I find it in a tailor-made shirt? MyTailor.com doesn't seem to hit that sweet spot.
Thanks! - August 15, 2009 at 5:32:00 AM PDT

A brilliant post, more valuable as you are posting less. Chambray surface has a powdery finish,finer than pinpoint oxford. It's beauty perhaps comes from the dual tonality as the warp is white. Even the colour of the shirt is very extraordinary and naturally follows white in the pecking order.
Thanks. - June 21, 2012 at 9:27:00 PM PDT

Use Two 110 Films on a 35mm Camera for Crazy Awesome Shots So there are a lot of tipsters and hacks on the web for using 35mm film on different format cameras, so I went and tried using 110 on a 35mm camera, and this is pretty much what I got on my first try. It's a bit of a process, but it's also lots of fun, then again, what in Lomography isn't?
My Flying 120N Holga Working in the photography department at the South Australian School of Art for the last six years, I have seen photos shot from just about every angle conceivable.

Crawford to Warriors and Randolph to Clippers NBA.com: Knicks not done dealing, set to pull off trade with Clippers
Looks like the Knicks have something to thank Zeke for....all that financial flexibility didn't happen by accident. He swapped out the Knicks aging expensive talent for young expensive talent and now they are in a great spot with the moves Walsh made today. So, even though the talent didn't work out on the court they have a great long term flexibility they didn't have with all those dinosaurs on their roster before Thomas' arrival.
Who's salary shall we dump once it is determined that the folks we got aren't going get us pass the second round? Oops sorry for being pessimistic here, but if the Knicks clear enough cap space for two big ballers >James and one of the other big guns, then who may be left to set our sites on in 2010? Wade, Bosh, Mello, Amare are the other big five available right? Also with the Clippers having a frontline of Zach, Kaman and Camby, I wonder if they will part with one of the latter two?
You have to look at the big free agents situations... Do you really think Lebron James/Chris Bosh/Wade/Etc. will be better off in New York then there are with Cleveland, Toronto, Miami, etc? It's more then just the Benjamin in the NBA, it's the diamond rings. No...Knicks don't have a good supporting cast. Danilo will suck. He goes and hurts his back and will be out the whole season. Not to mention he was going to go the D-League. A project 6th pick? David Lee and Nate are probably the only interesting piece. Donnie is just dreaming. If Clippers really trade for Zach Randolph, their idiots. Warriors's GM Chris Mullin is an fool too, does he think Warriors need more guards?
In 2010, the Pistons should have a ton of cap space if they don't make any impact signing/trades in the next 2 seasons. Sheed, AI fall off the books next season, approximately $35M. I think Amir falls off the books in 2010, good for another $3.5M or so. So do Stuck and AA (team option). I think the bigger question is who would be willing to sign w/ the Pistons. Don't see Wade, LBJ, Kobe, Amare. Bosh maybe the only realistic target along w/ lesser stars. Wouldn't have mattered as much if Joe had made that Darko pick count. We by all rights should have had a homegrown superstar. Pisses me off to this day.
I want the best big man (since good big man are a rarity now and days) which is Chris Bosh. Lebron is nice, but a team can take Lebron led down. I know every one is mad that Joe Dumars wet his pants when he saw Darko supposedly being amazing in that try out. Darko has been wasted talent. But at least Joe Dumars is trying to fix his error. One is getting Rodney Stuckey for bascially Carlos Arroyo since Orlando let Darko walk, and second was getting under the cap by a good margin for 2010. Pistons have bird rights for Amir so we can resign him after signing the big free agent.
Crawford is perfect for the Warriors system. He is an up and down chucker, who can get hot and go for 30. He's also able to play the 1 and the 2. Not a bad trade for Golden State.
The Knicks right now is by far the stupidiest team right now in the game. They are getting ready to trade the best player on their team for Al Harrington. Ugh!! They must be out of their minds. Jamal Crawford is the reason that team even win some games on some nights. I just can't believe they are going to get rid of him. I don't even worry myself about all the talk about where LBJ is going to end up because when all falls down, it's his decision and no one else's. If everyone wants LBJ, I wonder what the rest of the team will look like.
True, but where's the help for Andris Biedrins? Golden State is very guard oriented now they have Jamal Crawford, Anthony Morrow, Corey Maggette, Stephen Jackson, Kelenna Azubuike, among others.
Hey PL, we missed you in Chat the last 2 nights.....I agree with you here, Crawford and Zach were the stars of this street ball team and Donnie Walsh got rid of the Wolverine-Spartan connection. I know D' Antoni can't stand Marbury, but I wondering how much he was hatin on Crawford too since I saw him on the bench in crunch time for that game the barely loss vs the Celtics on Tuesday
I missed ya too Dre! I'm not going to make the next chat neither. My computer cord is busted so when I get my cord fixed, I'll be back!! I definitely don't know what is up with D'Antoni. He must be mad that he couldn't have a future with Phoenix. The New York fans should start ragging him big time if he don't get it together.
why do u have a punk a%% posterboy for thuggs in your link for a signature? LOL women....i cram 2 understand yall!..........
So there is a realistic possibility that the Knicks could get Lebron PLUS Bosh or Kobe or Wade or Amare???
They had to blowup the team, the previous group was messin up by overachieving, and may have actually made the playoffs this year. D'Antoni doesn't want to be in the playoffs, he wants a lottery pick so he can try to recreate Phoenix in NY. Also, everyone thinks NY is trying to get LeBron, my bet (though NY would love to get LeBron) is to snag an Amare/Bosh tandem.
Knicks beat wizards tonight 122-117, playing just seven players. The starters who eached averaged 43 mins, scored 116 of their 122 points. Talking about a productive starting unit..

from Wikipedia It's a complex looking subject Naveen. Where would you like to start the discussion?Latent semantic analysis (LSA) is a technique in natural language processing, in particular in vectorial semantics, invented in 1990 [1] by Scott Deerwester, Susan Dumais, George Furnas, Thomas Landauer, and Richard Harshman. In the context of its application to information retrieval, it is sometimes called latent semantic indexing (LSI).
Posted 29 May 2006 - 05:36 AM
Not only the language has an unlimited amount of parameters, but it also evolves.
Sure, get as close to the language in 5 years and in 10-20 years you'll be dealing with a new direction the language will take.
Also, some words will lose some of their meanings, some will acquire meanings and some will swap meanings. Will a machine be able to track all this?
Good luck to the scientists and engineers, though.

Rand talked about the idea in February of 2005 and gave an interesting early perspective, as well.
Aaron Wall wrote about it at Search Engine Journal, and rustybrick made some extensive comments at SE Roundtable.
It seems to me that the complexity of natural language and the construction of meaning may be a significant barrier to the kind of large-scale analysis a search engine needs to do. A reduced test case may be practical, but at least for the time being I think it's beyond the capability of search engines.
But I don't think that LSA needs to fully "track" natural language, on the other hand - it needs to be able to learn and change; not maintain a fixed idea of how language works. Even with an incomplete implementation, it may well work in an extremely sophisticated and effective manner.
As send2paul said, it's a complex subject - possibly beyond any meaningful application in SEO, and certainly beyond my mathematics

If it is really "just" a processor power question, then it would be just a question of time for it to go live. However, as with other similar items (speech recognition comes to mind), processor power is not a cure for everything
Posted 29 May 2006 - 05:59 AM
f it is really "just" a processor power question, then it would be just a question of time for it to go live.
Very true...
And, having just looked again, Michael Martinez does not actually say anything about computing power (I know I read that somewhere...but I guess it wasn't that article). What he actually says is:
Unfortunately, the technology does not yet exist to enable the search engines to do that kind of associative indexing. In fact, it would be more appropriate to refer to the process as "associative indexing" because that is really what we are talking about (in this context). The closest we have come to associative indexing in today's search engine technology is stemming, where words are indexed on the basis of their uninflected roots (plural forms, adverbial forms, and adjectival forms are reduced to their simplified noun and verb forms before indexing).

Take 'car' and 'bottle' for instance.
Currently, there is little association between the two.
What if gas will be measured in bottles? How much time will it require the computer to reach the conclusion? I'd say till it is very well established, but in the meantime, it'll be providing inadequate information
Yeah, there shouldn't necessarily be anything 'fixed' in the algorithm. It doesn't mean it becomes much simpler, though.

Search for angles. How does the SE know what sort of angle I'm looking for: the ancient peoples of Europe, a mathematical construct, and new approach to a problem. Or did them mean Angels?
We know because we can read the context, the SE has to second guess our intention. For a SE to incorporate LSI it needs to understand the query - this would mean us asking a question: 'what is name given to an angle that is less than 90 degrees'. But we don't want to do this. We bash away using a range of keywords in the hope that one of the results will be useful to us.
If of course the SE could track our investigation it could begin to work out exactly what we are looking for. But this would mean storing everybody's search criteria so that is could over time begin to realize that somebody is a doctor, a scientist, a musician. Only then can LSI begin to work. IMHO.
Incidentally, as a teacher I get student whose first language is not English. Simple statments can be misinterpreted because the literal meaning means something different to the ideomatic meaning.
Posted 29 May 2006 - 06:23 AM
As the language continues to develop and the terms are used more and more in conjunction, the semantic engine would learn that they are more importantly matched, and may begin to make that association.
I don't think that this is the chief problem for semantic indexing; I think a bigger problem may be coping with multiple meanings. The terms themselves are insignificant - how does the engine know that I MEAN to be looking for ancient mayan symbology when I search for "jaguar", instead of a car or a cat?
And, like fisicx says, literal meaning is very difficult to manage within the context of idiomatic speech - when I say in my blog that I'm off to "hit the hay" a human will easily identify that idiom - but an algorithm may have difficulty associating "hit hay" with going to bed.
If of course the SE could track our investigation it could begin to work out exactly what we are looking for. But this would mean storing everybody's search criteria so that is could over time begin to realize that somebody is a doctor, a scientist, a musician. Only then can LSI begin to work. IMHO.
Ultimately, do I want my searches to be incredibly effective because the search engine knows everything about my life and interests? Not really...I'd rather have privacy and have to work a bit harder to find the information I need! Even with all this collection of information, it would be very difficult for the search engine to manage ALL the varied interests and possible curious questions somebody would have over the course of their life.

I hate to rain on a parade for 'the latest search engine technology', but we first covered this subject a few years ago. In fact, within a few months of first opening these forums in 2002.We have carried out and updating our extensive reaserch on this latest technolgy of search engine. if anyexpert from search engine industry, want to share/discuss his /her expertise and experience on LSI. They are most welcome.
In 2003, we were already directly applying advice regarding LSA to sites and techniques being discussed.
http://www.cre8asite...latent semantic
If LSI/LSA were really the latest technology then those hundreds of Information Retrieval scientists haven't been doing much in the years since. Seriously though, many of the most fundamental published papers on LSA were published in the mid nineties, and I've seen a lot of papers with publication dates from '94 to '96.
LSA is far older than many more significant updates to technology, including the infamous 'Florida' update which itself now seems quite ancient history.
Far more recently (a mere 2+ years ago, in January 2004) there was mention of a specific use of Semantic Analysis by a specific engine in the following discussion.
A good place to start with studying LSA would be the engines themselves.
Posted 30 May 2006 - 02:11 PM
I can't believe that you guys are not using LSI!!!
It is one of my secret weapons for competitive terms. If you would like to learn more on LSI Google Michael Marshall. He is the SEO who basically invented LSI and SEO.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "using" latent semantic indexing. Latent semantic indexing is a technique which construct an algorithm which can identify the essential meaning of your query or website and use that knowledge to make connections despite the lack of a direct key-term relationship. (To attempt to describe it, however imprecisely.)
If you're talking about the same Michael Marshall I know of, then he has written some interesting articles about writing content with LSI in mind.
However, as interesting as this article is, Michael Marshall certainly did not actually "invent" LSI or SEO.
I'd be interested in hearing how LSI has explicitly aided your SEO campaigns - how have you applied the concepts of LSI to your content and what demonstrates that this has helped you?
Posted 30 May 2006 - 03:28 PM
It is a one of the latest and crucial technology for search engine and help the search engine to retrive the data of web site and present the result in a LSI based technolgy.
The concept of Indexing by Latent Semantic Analysis (pdf) was probably introduced in 1990, though it relies on a lot of research from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s (see the list of citations in the paper I linked to.)
The biggest public plunge that Google has probably made concerning any type of semantic indexing was their purchase of the company Applied Semantics, with its Conceptual Information Retrieval and Communication Architecture (CIRCA) technology. A number of similar ideas surfaced in two recent patent applications from Google:
Phrase-based searching in an information retrieval system
Multiple index based information retrieval system
Think about Google's supplemental index while looking at this one above.
See also the Applied Semantics Patents:
Meaning-based information organization and retrieval
Meaning-based advertising and document relevance determination
Posted 30 May 2006 - 05:46 PM
The work of Applied Semantics was largely concerned with non-latent semantics. It was about contextual semantic clues usually within the same body of text. Latent Semantics is not about the words appearing in the document, but rather about those latent clues not spoken/writen consciously.
When Bill links to a paper, even one with a non-obvious title, we can gather a context to this from the very fact that Bill linked to it, and in what context, before we ever even think of opening that document itself.
Likewise, things can be presented to look like something that they really are not. An example of this might well be some press releases. Just because the document presents itself as news, and uses the language of a news bulletin, does not in itself actually make it news. Where the press release appears, and how much attention it gets (could be measured in links or in viewing activity) does far more to identify real news than the language in the document ever will.
A non-event press release created just for a link that nobody reads may appear through active semantics to be the real news it is not.
Conversely an item on the CNN website might not appear to look like news at all, but really is just from where it is located.
Latent Semantics is about unstated context, and unspoken/unwritten clues and cues. There is some crossover between the two things, quite naturally. But latent semantics is far harder to fake, and thus is of a far more sturdy and robust use for search engines.
Posted 30 May 2006 - 06:28 PM
Don't think the Wikipedia entry mentioned anything of that.
Well, it'll be hard for the search engines to figure out what to take into account.
I expect a lot of errors here, provided that they are trying to describe the undescribable (or at least less obvious).
If I were a search engine, I'd make sure I know my simple semantics well enough before jumping into something serious.
Btw, probably Google Co-op may help fighting the spam by supply samples of trusted sites, too, so perhaps they aren't going to spend most of their resources on LS. However, this field is really tempting for the search engines.
Posted 12 June 2006 - 08:28 AM
Some quick Fact about LSI
1. LSI is 30% more effective than popular word matching method.
2. LSI uses a powerful and fully automatic statistical method (Singular Value Decomposition)
3. It is very effective in cross-languages retrievals.
5. LSI can retrieve relevant information that does not contain query words,
6. It finds more relevant information than other methods.
There are some examples for LSI based SEO and Non LSI based SEO, Please see and analyze the difference.
Result on Google for Query Laptop without LSI
(Kindly analyze the result on Top 10 pages format of Google)
Result on Google for query ~Laptop with LSI
Result on Google for Query Mobile without LSI
http://www.google.co...le &btnG=Search
Result on Google for Query ~Mobile with LSI
we have written a 37 e-book on LSI. it includes the some fact about LSI.
kindly let me know if you enjoy reading.I will mail it by PM.
Google is implementing it its semantic result.
we are making our research more extensive with the latest fact and figure.

Latent semantics would involve a more sophisticated analysis of the context of your search - particularly applicable in multiple term searches where the terms could be determined to have particular relationships.
Furthermore, latent semantics would require a contextual examination of the overal context of the pages returned, which to the best of my knowledge, Google's operator does not perform.
Posted 12 June 2006 - 09:22 AM
The ~ operator is simply used to find synonyms and stem-variants of a given word.
Please tell me that your 37 ebooks on LSA do indeed know what LSA is, and what it is not.
This thread from the Search Engine Watch Forums discusses c-index methods for building up 'thesaurus' of related words by co-occurrence. As Orion states there, c-indexes date back to the 70s at least, and so far predate any existing search engine.
However, these too are mainly about 'active' semantics, not 'latent' semantics. Latent semantics are the things you only tend to spot from a distance, with fractals or some other plotting/graphing analysis.
The best way of explaining the difference might be to look at ways of blocking spam (such as emails).
If we use exact negative matching (allow no email that uses the word 'viagra' for example) this can get a wide range of false positives, blocking emails that were not actually spam at all.
Using semantics, we might look for variants of the word viagra, especially misspellings that are attempting to bypass the first kind of exact matching we just mentioned - like those that use "VlAGRA" (the I there is actually a lower-case L)
Latent semantics is the system that noted you could block over 70% of all spam by just blocking anything that used bold red exclaimation points as punctuation.
Bayesian spam filtering methods are far more along the line of latent semantics than most other systems.
Posted 12 June 2006 - 09:34 AM
The proof is in the padding! Here is a challenge. Post a before and after 'LSI Technology' page and let the pros here comment on the techniques employed. Please spell check the page before you post! You prove your techniques with the relevant mathematics and I will eat my words and my summer hat!

Grayson County's recent flooding during periods of heavy rain can be linked as an after-effect of the 2009 ice storm, according to Grayson County Emergency Manager Ernie Perkins.
Sunday night's (March 17) heavy rain left several areas throughout the county with minor flooding in yards and on the roads, a problem which Perkins said can be partially attributed to remnants of debris from the ice storm that have built up in the culverts by and under the roads.
The culverts, which allow free-flowing water to drain under the roads, have clogged from debris and prevented water from flowing through them as it should; thus, the water flows much more slowly and as a result, floods the surrounding area, Perkins said.
Perkins said the flooding can also be attributed to the ground's heavy saturation. He said during periods of heavy rain, the ground absorbs so much water that it cannot hold anymore, and the water will sit on top of the ground. This effect can be heightened after periods of little to no rain, he said..
Perkins said if problems in public areas persist, county officials can provide assistance; however, he said the law prohibits county officials from working on privately owned areas.
Perkins said citizens concerned with flooding near their home may contact his office for assistance at 259-0096.

Connecticut and the eight other Northeastern states that take part in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) on Thursday announced they have agreed to new standards that will further reduce air polluting emissions.
RGGI is a market-based program designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that was created in 2007, and Thursday's announcement by the nine states that participate comes after a two-year review of the existing standards and what implementing more stringent measures might mean.
"RGGI has been an enormous success in reducing carbon emissions, providing incentives for cleaner power generation, improving air quality, and funding clean energy initiatives — all at a minimal cost to electric ratepayers," said Daniel Esty, commissioner of Connecticut's Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. "The changes in the program put forward today will allow us to continue moving toward a cleaner energy future in a manner that is consistent with the need to keep power cheap, strengthen our economy and grow jobs."
RGGI is what is commonly known as a cap-and-trade program, a term used to describe one of the mechanisms available for reducing air pollution in a nation or region while still allowing regulated companies some flexibility to meet standards that have been established.
Under such a system, companies are issued credits based on how large they are and what industries they are in. If a company's air pollution emission comes in below its allotted level under the credits, it has extra credits it may trade with other companies.
The changes to the RGGI program include:
—A reduction of the 2014 regional carbon dioxide budget, "RGGI cap," from 165 million to 91 million tons — a reduction of 45 percent. The cap would decline 2.5 percent each year from 2015 to 2020.
—Not reoffering any unsold carbon dioxide allowances for 2012 or 2013.
—Requiring regulated entities to acquire and hold allowances equal to at least 50 percent of their emissions in each of the first two years of the three-year compliance period, in addition to demonstrating full compliance at the end of each period.
With the creation of the new rules, the participating states will now go back to their respective legislatures and regulatory agencies to implement the changes needed to comply with the program. The state specific changes would take effect Jan. 1, 2014. Continued...
The changes to the RGGI program are being praised by officials with Environment Northeast, a Maine-based regional organization with offices in Connecticut.
"RGGI has demonstrated that emissions can come down rapidly and affordably in the electric sector, and we applaud the states for building on the program's success and committing to further efforts to address one of the main sources contributing to climate change," said Daniel Sosland, ENE's president.

Responsive theme for wordpress
Hi everyone,
Just joined up after visiting this site for a number of years!
I usually use Drupal CMS and the Omega mobile first theme but have decided to use wordpress for my personal site. It seems wordpress can do exactly what I want in addition to having a clean and much more usable dash (IMHO) compared to Drupal. The thing is, I'm at a bit of a loss on how to actually get started. Got wordpress installed, I like the idea of being able to tweak the html myself (Drupal gives you little control over that). I'm good to go, apart from the barrier of choosing a theme.
In Drupal I would use the Omega theme and make a child theme of that so theme updates didn't overwrite my changes.
Is it the same sort of thing with wordpress? Maybe using a framework with a child theme? I looked at bones starter theme but don't know LESS/SASS yet so would prefer to stick with good old fashioned css until I am more comfortable with theming. Basically, what do other people do who make custom responsive wordpress sites?
Something like this is what I'm trying to achieve: http://www.theme-junkie.com/themes/videoplus/
I could of course just buy the theme and get on with it, but what would be the point in that? I wouldn't learn anything. :)
Any pointers would be more than appreciated. Thanks.
WordPress does work quite the same way with parent/child themes. If you are looking for a responsive bare-bones theme for WordPress I would suggest starting with Skeleton (http://www.simplethemes.com/blog/entry/skeleton-wordpress-theme). From there you can create a new child theme (see: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) and customize to your hearts content.
My suggestion is wordPress is the best way for user friendly.I want to improve my wordPress knowledge through this forum. I have just gone through these videoplus and skeleton word press themes.
@cssgirl, thanks.
I have since installed bones html5 theme and am playing about with that. Not sure the difference between that skeleton but I'm sure it will become more obvious the more I go along!
The first obvious difference is that Bones is supposed to be tweaked and be used as a standalone theme, rather than being a base theme.
@Dhanishta, I'm doing the same, watching videos and reading many guides/forums.

Our Patriotic Fancy Pet Collar is 1/2″ wide, and sparkles brightly with red, white and blue rhinestones.
Sizes are gauged by ACTUAL neck size, NOT collar size. MEASURE CAREFULLY!
Please note : Measure the neck size by snuggly wrapping a tape measure around the neck. Collar will be made with one hole 1/2″ after that measurement and another one 1/2″ after that.
XS (5 to 7″ neck)
S (7-1/2 to 9″ neck)
M (9-1/2 to 11″neck)
ML (11-1/2 to 13″neck)
L (13-1/2 to 15″)
XL (15-1/2 to 17″ neck)
1XL (17-1/2 to 19″ neck)
2XL (19-1/2 to 21″ neck)
3XL (21-1/2 to 23″ neck)
4XL (23-1/2 to 25″ neck)
You may also choose whether you would like a Rhinestone Buckle or a Plain Buckle.
The collar will come with 1 leash hook (D-ring). You may choose to have a second 'D' ring in center of collar, allowing you to hook your leash in the center. There will still be a D ring by the buckle, as it is used to tuck in the end of the collar. You may choose to hang charms on this D-ring.

Made in America: CNY Edition, The Big Ones
By: Jennifer Lee
Updated: November 13, 2012
It's time now to begin our 6 week-long look at products that are grown and made right here at home. Eyewitness News Reporter Jennifer Lee starts us off with the obvious businesses in our community.
Some of you drive by their headquarters on the way to work or you may buy some of their products on a daily basis. They all make different products, but these well-known companies started in a similar way; ideas that became a reality.
Maybe you have one packed for lunch or you're saving it for a mid-day snack. Whatever it may be, we see Chobani yogurt stocked all over supermarket shelves in different flavors competing with other brands. In fact, it's now considered the best selling yogurt in America.
Of course, Chobani is made right here in Central New York in South Edmeston and it's just five years old. It all started with one man from turkey who didn't like the taste of yogurt at his local grocery store here in the states. However, Chobani wasn't always that successful.
The company has expanded by, building a plant in Idaho to make even more yogurt. Shoppers can find their product across the country as well as Canada and Australia.
Chobani has grown from five employees to over 1,200 employees to using one truck of milk a day to using 3 million pounds of it each day.
It's a similar story for one bottled water company in Forestport. Nirvana started business with ten employees, sending out only one truckload a day. Now, the company has 150 workers, sending out 30 truckloads of water a day all over the country.
Nirvana says the quality and taste of its water is really what sets it apart from the competitors.
"The water comes up by its own force and we build a spring house on top of this occurrence. We just collect the water and pump it straight to the facility," explained Mo Rafizadeh, V.P. of Nirvana.
Rafizadeh says Nirvana is one of the only companies in the country that owns its own resources for the spring water that they bottle.
"Most water companies buy their spring water from an outside source and tanker their water into the facility and then bottle it. So we are a very unique situation compared to most bottled water companies."
And not only that, Nirvana makes some of its own water bottles right from scratch, buying the plastic resin pellets.
"Feed it into a machine. It creates the preform. From the preform we put it in the blow mold and blow the bottle right from there. So we are taking raw resin and out comes a bottle of water," said Rafizadeh.
The bottler is also expected to produce its own bottle caps which are currently being bought from an outside supplier. Chobani and Nirvana are both products that Central New Yorkers and people across the country eat or drink every day.
If that doesn't impress you, the next time you're on the operating table, the surgeon may be handling equipment made in Utica.
"There are 5,000 or so hospitals in the United States and I think you would probably find a CONMED product in just about every one of them," explained President and CEO Joseph Corasanti.
Corasanti is now running CONMED Corporation started by his father. The company started in the 70s manufacturing disposable ECG electrods used to monitor people's heartbeats. Now, the company has expanded.
CONMED says it launches anywhere where between 8 to 12 new products every year. And in the past five years, it's been coming out with specialized products.
"We have sports medicine products. These are minimally invasive surgical devices used to visualize, repair and diagnose injuries in the joint space primarily in the knee and shoulder.
CONMED began as a small, private company. Now, it's a large, publicly held medical device organization with ten manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and sales offices throughout the world.
Although many say we are no longer a manufacturing nation, there's proof right here in CNY that businesses are hard at work, still putting out products and serving people all over the country.

Insulated thermos, cups, bottles
By Cyndy Harrington
If you are of my generation and you know if you are if you remember the old Stanley Lunch boxes.Kind of industrial looking, not cute or fancy, but if you kept it, I bet it is still in one piece.Their motto is "Build for Life".Doug and I have had one of their thermoses for over 10 years.We bought it because of the name brand and its reputation for being the best.The best what?Keeping beverages and food at the temperature you want.Fill a Stanley with ice tea at 8am and I bet you'll still have ice tea at 4pm.Put chili in one before you go skiing and at lunch time it will still be hot.
Since our son is in the outdoor business we've recently had an opportunity to look, feel, and try some of their other products.I'm pretty happy to report that they are coming out with several innovative ideas in new product designs that are keeping up with the times.They still have their "Stanley Green" and have added several new colors that really brightens up the product line.I also like the fact that they offer replacements parts for several of their products.
I like that Stanley is a product for every generation.They've been around since 1913; their products last; have lifetime guarantees and they are updating the look and feel for the outdoor crowd of today.Check out their "Nineteen 13" product line where several new mugs are made from recycled material and are recyclable themselves.
Usage tip:Stanley bottles are steel insulated (not glass) so they won't break.If you need to keep your food items hotter for longer periods of time, put boiling water in the container for about 5 minutes, empty and add your food or drink.Foods/drinks can stay hot up to 24 hours.
Find Stanley Products at backcountry.com
I'm all about the stuff.Travel stuff, computer stuff, bags to put stuff in, etc.
I found this Stanley flask and thought it might be a perfect addition to our camping gear.We like to sit by the campfire and I love my Captain Morgan.This 8oz stainless steel walled flask is perfect for a weekend trip.It doesn't take up much space and because of the steel inner walls whatever you put in it does not pick up any other flavors as can sometimes happen with plastic.I love the "foolproof" mouth/cap design and you can unscrew it and there is a lanyard device that keeps the cap attached.You don't ever have to worry about dropping or losing the cap!!!
Thermos (aka Vacuum Bottle)
There is a wide variety of thermos bottles!When I look at all the products I have to admit that I have to stop and think how I'm going to use each one.This one is great for ice tea, and this wide mouth is perfect for chili.Oh wait – we may want this larger one for hot chocolate to share around the campfire.What I'm trying to get at is I think Stanley has products for every need.Of course you know that the Stanley has always been the best container for hot coffee all day long on the job sitehttp://www.backcountry.com/store/search.html?mv_session_id=QVPsX93w&q=stanley.
