Early on in the heyday of SEO blogging, search engine optimization professionals spent a lot of time discussing the importance of keyword research. This is one of the aspects of organic SEO that tends to get overlooked in discussion today because so many professionals learned how to perform the task sometime between 2000-2005.
Keyword research and analysis are fundamental areas of SEO. From the viewpoint of your Web site, ask yourself the following questions.
- What do I want to be known for?
- What information, products, and services do I offer?
- What keywords are my top ten competitors using?
- What keyword phrases are people actually using when they search?
- What types of actions are taken by people searching for each phrase?
These are excellent SEO starter questions; they are relevant no matter what phase of site creation or redesign you are in. We recommend that SEO strategy and keyword analysis take place prior to finalizing the Information Architecture whenever possible. That is a best practice that obviously isn't always possible, but it must be stated for the record.
What do I want to be known for?
You need to have this settled from the beginning. Waffling back and forth between branding concepts won't help you rank for important keywords.
What information, products, and services do I offer?
This is an excellent place to begin compiling a list of potential keyword phrases. You'll do some keyword refining later on, so go ahead and write down everything that comes to you in this stage.
Let's say you're a bowling supply Web site. What bowling products do you offer for sale? Start by listing the products and brand names. For example: Hammer bowling balls and Dexter bowling shoes. These are products you want to sell and phrases that people might use when looking for bowling supplies. Make a list of all relevant terms you can think of.
What keywords are my top ten competitors using?
Cover your bases. Select five competitors you know by reputation. Then use the search phrases you've already pinpointed and review the top five search results for each. Combine the five competitors you recognize and the five you just found and begin to view the source code of the site pages. You may find that successful competitors are using phrases and/or terminology you hadn't considered.
What keyword phrases are people actually using when they search?
To answer this question, you need a keyword research tool. Whether you use Wordtracker, Keyword Discovery, or Wordze, now is the time to use a professional keyword research tool. Membership fees vary, but your search marketing agency should have access to several tools for research and analysis.
Take your initial keyword list and research the popularity and variations available for each term. Proper use of the tool will yield the results you need to get started. You will have certain decisions to make, such as deciding whether to attempt to compete for the more generic and most popular terms or for the less popular but more accurate terms. If you do it yourself, you face the risk of aiming too broad and not ranking well, or aiming too narrow and getting no traffic in return for good rankings.
A good rule of thumb is to evaluate your business in terms of local search. If you have a relatively new Web site (two years old or less), you'll find it difficult to compete for the broader terms, but what about location specific terms? If you offer services, which areas do you serve? Perhaps you'll draw a good amount of traffic for Dallas maid service versus maid service. Think of how many people nationwide might be searching for what you have to offer and use your keyword research tool to see if city- or state-specific terms are popular.
What types of actions are taken by people searching for each phrase?
Most companies don't take the time to consider this aspect, so you will be ahead of the curve if you do. Given the time to research thoroughly, you will find that certain terms are most often searched with one result in mind. Of course, making SEO decisions based on this research is a numbers game. If a greater percentage of users are intending to purchase rather than seeking reviews or information, the phrase is more valuable to you as far as immediate results are concerned. Some phrase orders are more common for researchers versus shoppers, so spending a little extra time to know the attitude of searchers in your industry can be well worth your time.
Of course, the true measure of whether you are focusing on the correct keywords will come down to the bottom line. Check your Web analytics to determine which keywords are driving traffic, sales and/or leads, and then modify your keyword selection as necessary.

Kaluder crowned champion at ITA regional Lady'Back doubles teams to compete for one title
Salt Lake City, Utah – Freshman Ela Kaluder played like a seasoned veteran on Saturday afternoon as she blazed through the competition on her way to the ITA Central Regional Championship's singles title for the University of Arkansas women's tennis team.
Kaluder, who began her title run in qualifying rounds last Wednesday, began her championship day with quarterfinal action against Boise State's Tatiana Ganzha. Ganzha, who ousted Arkansas senior Melissa Cornett in the second round, was no match for the surging Lady Razorback freshman as Kaluder cruised to a 6-2, 6-2 win.
In the semifinals, the Zagreb, Croatia native stood across from Kansas State's Tamar Kvaratshelia, who defeated sophomore Maryori Franco in the Round of 16. Kaluder lost the first set, 6-3, but rallied back to win the next two sets, 6-4, 6-4 to upset the seventh seeded player in thrilling, three-set fashion to advance to the finals.
In that final match, Kaluder would face Brigham Young's Olga Boulytcheva, who had given fellow Lady'Back freshman Aureilija Miseviciute her first collegiate loss earlier that day. Kaluder was crowned champion of the Central Regional after a forfeit by Boulytcheva.
Both final match contenders advance to the ITA National Individual Championships at Ohio State University on Nov. 3-6
"This was a fantastic performance by Ela today" said Arkansas head coach Michael Hegarty. "It's incredibly rare to come through qualifying and win the main draw. It just shows how good she really is."
Only the crowning of a singles champion could eclipse the performance from Arkansas doubles on Saturday afternoon. Both Arkansas doubles teams, comprised of Franco and Karina Ledaja and Kaluder and Miseviciute, advanced to the doubles final match with two big wins apiece.
Franco and Ledaja defeated Nebraska's Imke Reimens and Ewelina Skaza, 8-3, to advance to the semifinal match against BYU's Boulytcheva and Sofia Holden. In that match, Franco and Ledaja won 8-4 to improve to 14-1 this fall.
On the other side of the bracket, Kaluder and Miseviciute advanced to the semifinal match with an 8-3 win over Kansas State's Kvaratshelia and Katerina Kudluckova.
In the semifinal match, team freshman turned up the heat against Boise State's Megan Biorkman and Hadley MacFarlane with an 8-2 win to put them in the finals.
The two Lady'Back squads square off for the second time this fall in a tournament final match at 8:00 a.m. The winner of that match goes on to compete at the National Individual Championships.
"There are some excellent doubles teams in this tournament but Ela and Aurelija and Maryori and Karina were really on their games this weekend and clearly deserved their berths in tomorrow's final."

Just days after being shot in the face, boxer Hector "Macho" Camacho has passed on. His family took him off life support and he was declared dead on Saturday (November 24). He was 50 years old.
As previously reported, the Puerto Rican boxer was sitting in a car in his native country on Tuesday evening (November 20), alongside friend Adrian Mojica Moreno, when one gunman opened fired from a passing vehicle. A bullet struck Camacho in the face, hitting him in the jaw, exiting his head and lodging in his right shoulder, fracturing two vertebrae. Moreno died shortly after the shooting.
Camacho was rushed to a local hospital, and has been on life support ever since. Doctors declared him officially brain dead, leaving it up to his mother to decide whether to pull the plug… which they did on Saturday.
The boxer has been considered one of the more controversial figures in boxing, but was popular among bother fans and those who worked in the sport.
His last title bout came against then-welterweight champion Oscar De La Hoya in 1997, a loss by unanimous decision. He last fought in May 2010, losing to Saul Duran. He was looking for a possible comeback in 2013.
Other high-profile bouts in his career included fights against Felix Trinidad, Julio Cesar Chavez and Sugar Ray Leonard. Camacho knocked out Leonard in 1997, ending what was that former champ's final comeback attempt.
He has four children. His eldest son: Héctor Camacho, Jr. is also a boxer.

If you find yourself feeling sluggish mid-afternoon, struggling to stay alert throughout the day, struggling with adrenal fatigue, or just plain exhausted, then it's time for a change! Luckily, there are easy, affordable ways to banish tiredness and get a spring in your step once again — naturally.
Skip the extra cups of coffee or "energy" drinks and try these 10 easy and inexpensive ways to boost your energy levels instead.
1. Vegetable Juice
Drinking fresh vegetable juice is a shock to your body — in a good way! Losing the fiber during juicing makes them easy for your body to absorb and digest. And because less work is required for your body to reap the nutritional benefits, you'll notice an increase in energy. Additionally, drinking your veggies helps eliminate toxins from the body while also feeding your cells.
If you feel an illness coming on, vegetable juice is also a good way to stop it in its tracks and keep energy up before it dips. Pass over store-bought juices, which are often loaded with sugar, preservatives, and other unpronounceable ingredients — they'll leave you feeling worse and more exhausted! Make your own instead, or if you need ideas, try some of my favorite vegetable juice recipes.
2. Better Quality Sleep
Spending your nights tossing and turning can definitely make you feel exhausted the next day. While you sleep, your body is restoring and repairing the day's damage. Additionally, adenosine, a by-product of cell activity that's produced by the body, is believed to be a favor in humans' perception of being tired. Adenosine builds up during the day but, during sleep, our bodies clear it from our systems, helping us feel alert.
If you're having trouble sleeping, try some of my favorite tips:
- Keep a consistent sleep schedule by going to bed and waking up at the same times each day, including weekends. This will help regulate your internal body clock.
- Eliminate caffeine after 3 p.m. — the effects can last up to 12 hours.
- Write out what's stressing you out or keeping you up at night before heading to bed.
Get more tips to fall asleep and get more sleep.
3. Adaptogenic Herbs
When you're feeling exhausted, fatigued or stressed, adaptogenic herbs can help. These healing plants balance and restore the body's natural ability to handle stress by regulating the adrenal system, which is responsible for controlling the way hormones respond to stress. Adaptogens don't target a specific body part; instead, they help your entire body gently cope with stress, anxiety, and, of course, fatigue.
Some of the best adaptogen herbs to boost your energy include: ashwagandha, rhodiola, holy basil, licorice root and ginseng.
Incorporating adaptogenic herbs into your daily routine will help you feel calmer, less exhausted, and more focused.
4. Reduce Carb Consumption
While they do provide your body with energy, foods heavy in carbohydrates can leave you feeling sluggish. The main culprit? Simple carbs, like those found in sugary drinks, cookies, and processed foods (think white bread and pasta), which burn through your body quickly. Though they provide a fast boost of energy, it's quickly followed by a crash as your blood sugar spikes and then drops.
The solution? Stick to whole-grain, low-glycemic carbohydrates that take the body longer to digest and avoid the crash and burn effect. Nuts, legumes, sweet potatoes, oats, and brown rice are all low-glycemic carbohydrates that will provide the body with a steady supply of energy.
5. Eat Chia Seeds
If your only experience with Chia seeds is the Chia pet, prepare to be pleasantly surprised. These magic little seeds will boost energy levels and provide your body with a lot of nutritional bang for the buck.
The ancient Mayans and Aztecs used to ingest Chia seeds to keep up energy and alertness among warriors during war. For us mere mortals, the essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6) found in Chia seeds help regulate glands, fight adrenal fatigue, and combat inflammation, which keeps your body feeling fresh. Combined with high levels of protein and fiber, which keep blood sugar stable (no afternoon sugar crashes!), and it's no wonder chia seeds are being heralded as a superfood.
6. Stay Hydrated with Water and Electrolytes
Did you know that one of the first signs of dehydration is feeling tired or exhausted? That's right – not drinking enough water could be the reason your energy levels are lacking and you feel exhausted. Because our bodies are made up of mostly water, even small dips in H2O levels are enough to affect your metabolism.
Stay hydrated by making sure you're drinking enough water and other fluids throughout the day. The Institute of Medicine suggests about 9 cups of fluids a day for women and 13 cups for men.
However a more accurate amount is take your body weight and divide it in half, then drink that many ounces per day, plus more if you workout, are really active, are pregnant, nursing, or are fighting an illness or disease.
If that sounds like a lot, remember that many foods, like fruits and vegetables, contain water as well.
If you have an intense workout, you might want to supplement water with a drink that helps replace the electrolytes your body is sweating out. Forget sports drinks loaded with high fructose corn syrup and additives. Opt for coconut water or water naturally flavored with lemon and honey instead.
7. B Vitamins
Also known as the "energy vitamin," B12 is the most complex of all vitamins. It supports thyroid function and keeps blood cells happy and healthy. If you're vitamin B12 deficient, one of the first signs can be lower energy levels.
Because it's a water-soluble vitamin, your body cannot store extra amounts of B12 and relies on getting the vitamin from the foods you eat or supplements. Try one of these top 10 vitamin B12 foods to restore your B12 levels when they're depleted.
8. Herbal Teas
Coffee isn't the only option when you need a pick-me-up. Sipping on an herbal tea can provide an all-natural temporary boost in energy levels without the risk of scary stimulants or processed ingredients.
Two wonderful options are green tea and rooibos tea. Green tea has many benefits to your body such as anti-aging and fighting free radicals. It is loaded with catechin, an antioxidant that helps fight damage in the body's cell. If you're looking for a wonderful green tea, I love matcha.
Rooibos tea is another type of tea that'll fight fatigue. Made from South Africa's red bush plant, this refreshing red tea is packed with antioxidants including aspalathin, an antioxidant that regulates the adrenal hormones, helping to reduce stress and keep energy levels high.
9. Peppermint Essential Oil
If you need an easy way to stimulate your mind and increase focus, peppermint oil might be what you're looking for. Commonly used in aromatherapy, this refreshing essential oil increases oxygen to the brain, which heightens focus and stimulates the mind.
Try dabbing a few drops on your wrists when you find your energy lagging, add some to your shower to get an early morning energy boost, or add several drops to a steam diffuser to breathe in the benefits throughout the day.
10. Daily Exercise
Are you wiped out after a tough workout? Take solace in the fact that incorporating regular exercise into your routine will actually boost energy levels. Torching calories and engaging in physical activity sends oxygen and nutrients to your body's cells, helping your heart and lungs work more efficiently and boosting energy levels.
And remember, you don't need to run a marathon to get the benefits — moderate levels of your favorite fitness activity will reap energy benefits, too.

In April, 2009, researchers stunned the medical community when they reported chronic inflammation as the root cause of several major diseases.
See, every year 610,000 people in the U.S. die of heart disease. Cancer claims another 584,000...stroke 130,000...Alzheimer's disease nearly 85,000 — and the list goes on.
Truth is, we now know... chronic inflammation is responsible for 7 out of the top 10 leading causes of death in the United States! Hundreds of studies and scientific reviews prove it.
Fortunately, newer research shows you can prevent-even reverse-most major diseases by "turning off" inflammation. And in our new book, we show you how to do just that.
If you or a loved one is suffering from a debilitating condition-and you"re not sure what the culprit is-now's the time to find out...while you can still do something about it!

Shockingly, that nightmare is a reality for most:
64% of women and 74% of men carry too much body fat according to the National Institutes of Health.
It's choking their organs, assaulting their metabolism and sucking their energy dry.
But here's the worst part:
For most, this bodyfat has become "calorie-resistant":
It's completely unaffected by even the strictest diets... and most intense exercises.
This zombie fat is essentially... "dead tissue".
That's important for those who have 10, 25 or 50 or more pounds to lose...
AND for those who aren't technically overweight, but have what's called "pocket obesity"...
...unsightly patches of fat that cling to specific places, like:
just above your hips, lower belly, where your butt and legs meet... and even arms, neck and face.
However, there's good news:
Obesity researchers have now discovered a "metabolic jumper cable":
It jolts dead bodyfat back to life.
This allows your metabolism to burn it as calories and re-energize your entire body.
First though, here's the #1 reason why bodyfat becomes calorie-resistant:
It lacks blood flow. This has 3 effects:
- Not enough oxygen or nutrients reach fat cells, so they become unresponsive..
- Released fat can't be sent to other tissues to be burned, so fat cells suck it back in...
- 3) Metabolic hormones carrying the "burn calories" message don't reach the fat cell...
All this means one thing:
Your body can't transform into energy, the 135,000+ of calories the average person stores as fat!
You become a metabolic zombie: NO energy to think. NO energy to move. NO energy to motivate.
Update: calorie-resistant bodyfat can be now removed...
The discovery of this "metabolic jumper cable" can now reverse this process:
- It wakes up un-responsive bodyfat with a powerful calorie-burning hormonal jolt....
- It pops open fat cells, sucks out the fat, sending it off before its yanked back in...
- It shuttles fat to your brain, heart, lungs, kidneys - even your bones - to be burned as energy.
Not only do those layers of "zombie fat" start coming off, but your entire body just works better.
Plus, as your whole body burns more calories, those patches of pocket obesity whittle away.
This "metabolic jumper cable" isn't any exercise, machine or pill.
It's a little-known, calorie-burning hormone we all have... just waiting for the right spark to come alive.
It's not thyroid, leptin, ghrelin, insulin, adiponectin, HGH or any other "fat loss" hormone you may know.
And on this next page, you'll find out precisely how to unleash its calorie-burning power:
==> How to Activate Your #1 "Bodyfat-Eating" Hormone...
How to Activate Your #1 "Bodyfat-Eating" Hormone
PS - Studies show that not only can healthy levels of this powerful calorie-burning hormone devour bodyfat and fortify soft muscle, but it can also reduce your risk of diabetes by 53.7%, a heart attack by 83.3% and stroke by 51.4%. Here's more of the scientific proof...

Is Bread Really the Staff of Life… or the Stuff of Disease?
For most us, there are few foods more comforting than bread.
Fluffy biscuits, crusty baguettes, flaky croissants… even a simple slice of toast topped with melted butter can taste like heaven.
And that smell… few scents are quite as pleasant as fresh bread baking in the oven.
But there is a lot of confusion as to where bread fits into a healthy diet.
The Bible practically commands followers to eat it: "Give us this day our daily bread…" The government put it at the base of the food pyramid. And for centuries, it has been called "the staff of life."
Of course, there are some who disagree…
Well-known cardiologist, Dr. William Davis, calls wheat "the perfect chronic poison."
And for a poison, we sure eat lots of it…
The average American consumes 55 pounds of wheat flour every year, making refined flour the #1 source of calories in the American Diet – a situation that nutrition expert Chris Kresser describes as, "a public health catastrophe."
So, what is the truth about bread and wheat?
- Is it the perfect poison… or an essential daily food?
- Is "gluten-free" bread better for you than regular bread?
- And can you still eat bread… while maintaining a lean body and optimal health?
The answers to these questions may surprise you!
The 5 dangerous lies about bread…
Be sure to read #5 – the biggest surprise of all!
Do You Know Your Body's Most Important Weight Loss Secret?
Recently, Doctor of Naturopathy, weight-loss expert and best-selling Amazon author Liz Swann Miller, creator of the Red Smoothie Detox Factor, revealed 2 of the secrets to easy, steady weight loss. Secrets the big food corporations do their best to hide from us.
Secret #1: Enjoy real food. Don't fall for the lie that you have to deprive yourself to lose weight.
Secret #2: stop eating out. You will automatically eat less without even noticing.
Then start detoxing your body with tasty, nourishing smoothies that are just as easy on your wallet as they are easy to make.
Because a single day of enjoying Liz' smoothies demonstrated the radical power of her superfood-packed red smoothies to make me feel incredibly good.
Now prepare yourself for one of the biggest weight loss secrets there is. A secret that, when you use it properly, can transform your body and your health.
You probably know most of us eat too much processed food. What you may not know is that it's full of toxic chemicals and substandard, dirt-cheap ingredients designed to make you eat more…and force you to gain weight.
Here's how it works.
"That stuff is just a lot of calories your body can't use," Liz told me, "Some are poison. And all these foods are stripped of the anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories that help your body detox. The result? Your body expends huge amounts of calories to eliminate some toxins—the rest, it stores in your fat to protect you. This is why most people are hungry all the time. They're not getting energy they need."
"So… what's going on with me? Why am I losing weight but not going hungry?"
Liz paused, then dropped the bombshell.
Your body is designed to burn fat. You just have to let it.
"What? I thought we were designed to store fat?!?" We were Skyping and I was practically shouting. Then I heard Liz say…
What good is a fat reserve if you can't burn it?
Mind blown.
Liz continued: "You're drinking smoothies packed with phytonutrients, anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories that pull toxins out of you like a tractor beam. Allowing your body to burn those toxin-filled fat stores… and releasing tremendous amounts of stored energy."
So that's why I'm losing weight without going hungry.
Watch Liz' free presentation. It's packed with revolutionary weight loss information—information that works. Because it's based on how nature.

Former Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle Tuesday quit the board of the California High-Speed Rail Authority to devote more time to his lobbying and public relations business, the Orange County Register reported from Sacramento.
The newspaper said Pringle sent his letter of resignation to board chairman Tom Umberg, an Orange County lawyer and former assemblyman.
It will be up to Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, to appoint a replacement for Pringle, a Republican, former Assembly speaker and, until December, mayor of Anaheim.
In his letter, Pringle said:
"This project will not be successful without political leadership from the Governor. Governor Brown has yet to have an opportunity to directly appoint someone to this board. With this opening on the board, he will have the ability to appoint someone to reflect his point of view."
Pringle's tenure as chairman of the nine-member rail authority board included a finding by then Attorney General Jerrry Brown that Pringle should have resigned as mayor of Anaheim because that post conflicted with his role as chairman of the High-Speed Rail Authority.
As the legislative session nears an end, more pressure is being directed at Brown to declare how the controversial high-speed rail project will go forward and what oversight, if any, will be exerted on its finances and management.

he site bonjourtoile.fr offered me to test its services … and to offer an impression to one of you! ?Here is my feedback and my opinion on the final result.
Important clarification: I remind the grumblers that I take care of this free blogon my free time, and that I do not have a team of testers at my service. I therefore confirm that no, this experience feedback has not received the label "scientifically tested in the laboratory" with comparative competition, color chart, scanning electron microscope and analysis of the balance sheet accounts of the company tested. …
Please note that I have no accountability to the company that offered me this essay, that I am totally free to express a positive or negative opinion on its services, and that I have not touched money to do it. I try to be as objective as possible in the articles I write on this blog. Nevertheless, my opinion is necessarily tinged with subjectivity, I'm not a machine …
I write these tests the way I like to read them on the Internet: that is to say, simply a reflection of the lived experience by a person whose tastes and opinions I think I share.
That's saying, now we can start calmly?
Attention: read the comments well because, unlike my experience, several readers have had disappointments with this company and its customer service …
Print on canvas is a nice way to add a touch of home decor, from his own photos. This support has a very different rendering of a print on photo paper, on alu-Dibond, PVC, glass, etc. The canvas has a more "deco" than "photo expo", and everyone does not like this result, it's a matter of taste.
If you do not really see what the characteristic grain of a picture on canvas is, here is a close-up (click to enlarge) : For this test, I chose to print a photo of Geisha taken during my trip to Japan with readers for 2 reasons: 1 / I like it
Close-up of the characteristic grain of the paintings on which the photos are printed © Tonton Phot
2 / The colors are very bright, so it's a good opportunity to test the color rendering when printing on the canvas.
The company offers 15 different print formats, ranging from 20x20cm to 90x120cm.
Prices start at € 9 for a 20x20cm canvas, excluding transport costs of course (the company claims to offer the cheapest prices in France, which I have not checked) , and go up to € 90.
It is also possible to order a custom-made format, that is to say to the dimensions of your choice.
The dimensions of the photo canvas I tested are 40x60cm, for a cost of 36 €.
For my part the transport costs in metropolitan France cost € 6.95 for a delivery package, or € 8.95 for home delivery.
I found that the site was very simple to use. There are not 10,000 options to choose from, we will get right to the point.
Side help, there is an explanation tab , which answers many of the questions that you could ask you on the pictures. As you can see on the screenshot above, just upload your photo, and choose the different options: > color / sepia / black and white, > different visual effects (usually I'm not a fan of such things, so I chose no effect) , > whether or not we wish to frame this canvas (in a bare wooden frame or painted wood) , > etc.
I tested for you the photo printing on canvas, on the site hello.com © Tonton Phot
It is also possible to request free alterations. In my case I did not select this option because, as you know, I edit myself my photos under Lightroom .
Then comes the moment when it is necessary to determine how to frame your photo in the required dimensions (here 60cm wide x 40cm high).
This phase is important because, if the dimensions of your photo are too small compared to the requested size, your image can not be printed on the sides of the canvas. Having already made this choice in the past, I do not recommend it. The visual effect is much more striking when the photo is printed on the edges of the canvas.
In this snapshot, you can see that I first chose the "printed edges" option , but the top of the geisha's head was thus cut off, and relegated to the edges of the canvas. : So I tried the second option,
I tested for you the impression of photo on canvas, on the site helloyour.fr: option of framing "printed edges" © Tonton Photo
"Stretched edges" : The head is still cut, so I selected the third option "mirror edges" : Sincerely, I hesitated to choose this option, because I was afraid that the result is kitsch. But I finally took the risk because it was the only way to have a whole geisha

The final photo canvas, received for the test at bonjourtoile.fr – Front view © Tonton Photo
I received my canvas very quickly, less than 3 days after the order. It must be acknowledged that it is appreciable.
The canvas was well protected in a stiff cardboard and bubble wrap, and supplied with a small wall mounting kit.
The final photo canvas, received for the test at bonjourtoile.fr: close-up, with the slice © Tonton Photo
From the opening of the package, the colors explode, the rendering is faithful to the photo I had provided to the printer.
The reds could have been problematic, but their rendering is lively, rich, without being over-saturated and therefore fluo (on this subject do not trust the pictures that I present to you, compression JPG-for-the-web and rendering your screen may change the colors and make the red too saturated) .
The colors are well balanced and rich, I am satisfied.
I'm not sure it shows in the pictures that I present, but the sharpness of the impression is good. The details and colors are not flattened, the picture is clear and has relief.
On this subject the hair of the geisha was a good test. When looking at the canvas, you can visually feel the texture of the hair
… and the risk was good to take! People who are not aware of this cropping trick do not realize that the photo leaves mirror effect on the sides. The visual effect is quite natural (at least for this image … I guess it depends on the photos) :
The final photo canvas, received for the test at bonjourtoile.fr: view of the edge and the effect "mirror edges" © Tonton Phot
I am satisfied with this service. The site is easy to use, the layout options are not in the thousands, and so much the better for most people who will not be lost.
The print qality is good and the end result is in line with my expectations.
If you want to inquire about this photo printing service on canvas, it's here: www.bonjourtoile.fr .

MAC Dreaminess Mineralize Rich Lipstick
MAC Dreaminess Mineralize Rich Lipstick
MAC Dreaminess Mineralize Rich Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.14 oz.) is described as a "soft cool pink cream." It's a light-medium pink with a cool, gray-ish cast and a creamy, luminous finish. MAC Girl Next Door is lighter and sheerer (so it does look different on). MAC You're Perfect Already is warmer. Revlon Strawberry Shortcake is purpler. MAC Enchantee is similar but grayer. Urban Decay Lovechild is brighter. MAC Royal Azalea is lighter.
It delivered mostly opaque color, and the consistency is lightly creamy without being heavy or thick. It doesn't look heavy on the lips either, despite having a mostly cream finish. I did notice that if you press your lips together, there are some lines that can get created; they smooth out all right, but it's worth noting. It's visible in the photo, but from afar, it's hard to tell. It was lightly hydrating while I wore it, and Dreaminess lasted three and a half hours on my lips, which is around average (four hours). For a bit more on the formula, read my original review.

Mike's taste for Mexican flavors is really wonderful considering the obstacles he had to overcome growing up in Utah. When Mike had an assignment to bring a dish to share with his 7th grade Spanish class, there was no place to buy fresh poblanos where he lived, so they substituted canned peppers for their chiles rellenos. Mike got to experience some truly authentic Mexican food when he studied in Puebla, located 110 km southeast of Mexico City, during college. Even though he was warned not to eat the food from the street vendors (strange foreign contamination and whatnot), Mike dined almost exclusively from their carts and sampled the best tacos in town.
When Mike said he wanted to make enchiladas for us, I had (only!) one request: they must be saucy. I railed on and on about the pitfalls of enchilada making – stringy meat, too much goopy cheese and dry, under-sauced tortillas. We must have none of that! I looked at an otherwise fine recipe that he found online and said, "Sounds good, but you'll have to add twice as much sauce."
One look at these saucy babies, and you can see that Mike knows what I like. The poached chicken breast filling was moist and not petrified in clumps of cheese; the salsa verde added an insidiously spicy flavor; and the tortillas were soft and positively saucy.
Not saucy yet, but wait for it...
Inspired by this recipe from Zachary Smith, via Food Network. Poaching the chicken ahead of time (or using the meat from a store-bought rotisserie chicken) lets you assemble this dish quickly. You can also refrigerate the enchiladas for 24 hours before baking. Salsa verde is added to plain tomato sauce to create a quick enchilada sauce. Use any salsa and heat level you like. Salsa verde is sold in cans in the ethnic food section or in jars with the other salsas. Red salsa is fine too, but smoother varieties work better than chunky. Be sure the heat level of the salsa is okay before you add it to your tomato sauce. Cotija is crumbly, salty Mexican cheese that can be found in Latin markets and many grocery stores. Other Mexican or Spanish hard cheeses can be substituted. Makes enough for a dozen enchiladas. You will have plenty of leftover sauce for serving, or for another use.
1.5 lbs chicken breast, poached in water seasoned with salt and pepper and shredded
For the enchiladas:
3 (7-ounce) cans salsa verde (Mike used Sabores Aztecas brand from Whole Foods Market)
1 (28 oz) can tomato sauce
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can black beans
salt (or substitute adobo seasoning)
freshly ground pepper
1/3 pound pepper jack cheese, grated
1 (7-ounce) can diced green chiles, drained
1 dozen whole wheat flour tortillas
queso cotija, a few ounces for sprinkling
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, combine salsa verde and tomato sauce. Drain the beans and season with salt (or adobo seasoning) and pepper. Add a thin layer of sauce to bottom of a very large or two smaller baking dishes (we filled a 9x13 and an 8x8 dish). Put some chicken, beans, pepper jack cheese, a little sauce and some green chiles in a tortilla. Roll up and place in dish. Repeat until dish is filled. Cover with sauce. Sprinkle remainder of chiles and crumbled queso cotija on top.
Cover dishes with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and cook for 5 minutes more. Remove from oven when sauce is bubbly. Let rest for 5-10 minutes and serve.
Cook until the sauce is bubbling and the top is blistered.

Aujourd'hui je suis sur le blog de Maja Design avec une nouvelle photo de mon père, dont c'était l'anniversaire il y a quelques jours. J'ai travaillé avec la collection A Vintage Frost Basics qui convient parfaitement pour les photos hivernales.
Hello Sweeties
Today I'm up on Maja Design blog with a new photo of my father whose birthday was a few days ago. I worked with A Vintage Frost Basics collection which is perfect for winter photos.
I started to splatter watered gesso on the background. When dry, I added a design with Graphite Paste and a stencil.
While the background was drying, I distressed and inked the papers that will be under the photo. Then I added some color to the background by splattering two colors of Twinkling H2Os and watered gesso until I was happy with the result.
I glued the embellishments with 3D matte gel. I covered the flowers with gesso before painting them with the same Twinkling H2Os to give them a distressed look and I added some silver micro beads.
And to finish I added some splatters of gesso and Twinkling H2O to the title.
I wish you all a wonderful New Year's Eve party and see you next year ;)

Call it Cheesenado, Cheesepocalypse or Cheesegate: Velveeta supplies are supposedly running low, which could be the best thing happening in this country or the worst, depending on how you feel about that liquid gold.
The hyped-up crisis began with an Ad Age report that Kraft /quotes/zigman/11825124/delayed /quotes/nls/krft KRFT was "grappling with a Velveeta shortage."
The story vaguely cites "reports of a shortage at a few East Coast grocery stores," often code for "grocery stores where a few editors happen to shop." Kraft Foods' response was cryptic, saying that the situation had been brought on by "a combination of factors," but mostly high demand given the time of year (think Super Bowl, NFL playoffs, polar vortexes). An employee of some "Brooklyn-area grocery" even more vaguely told Ad Age that there was a "plant issue" crimping supplies of the fluorescent-orange foodstuff.
But before you panic, remember that this is hardly the first fuzzy proclamation that some popular consumable was going to run out. The purported Velveeta crisis follows an alleged legal-marijuana shortage in Colorado. There have long been rumors of an impending Sriracha shortage. Rumors of a chicken-wing shortage and a bacon shortage, to name but a few, have been greatly exaggerated.
But if you must have highly processed cheese, Velveeta is hardly the only option: Kraft also sells Cheez Whiz.

After federal housing authorities last year forced Burbank to designate specific personnel to oversee grant funding for social services and other programs, city officials say a recent internal audit shows they are on track to meet goals head on.
In order to continue to receive Community Development Block Grants and other funding, the city must submit an annual evaluation report to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The report outlines the steps Burbank has taken to address the primary concerns of Burbank residents, such as new affordable housing, crime awareness, health services and job creation.

We were all once newbies on the net, and it is precisely that type of person who really needs to be careful. Unless you have read, experienced or heard, you can pick up malware without ever suspecting a thing.
People who do not know much about computers may assume their machine will operate just as fast as it did the first time they turned it on – we know that is not true, either. The two options are learning on your own, or accepting that you will need to hire someone to take care of your computer. Read and then make sure you understand these computer tips as they will be of good use to you.
Any time you use your computer for any purpose, it saves many old files indefinitely. Nevertheless, this fact will eventually make itself known to you when strange and unusual things begin to happen. If you are familiar with PCs, then you definitely know about the Control Panel which has access to a cleaning utility. If you want to do more, then search on Google for file and computer cleaning programs. Shop around and read all about them, and you can even try to find some reputable and honest reviews.
Unfortunately, you will never know the importance of having a surge protector, unless you have some major damage when you aren't using one. A computer hooked up to the AC outlets without a surge protector can be harmed when the voltage spikes are passed on. You will certainly regret not using a surge protector, if you have a large spike, which burns up something in your computer. A huge selection of surge protectors can be found at office supply stores or anywhere that sells computers. The surge protector stops power surges from harming your computer by being hooked to the wall instead of the computer. As soon as you are using one, you will never know how many times it has protected your computer.
Any time you do anything on your computer, your disk drive becomes a little more fragmented. The fragmentation comes from normal use and means there are spaces where there is no information on either side of its memory. Every PC has the defrag program that is free with the machine, and that is easy to use and will take care of this issue. But then of course if you want to buy a software that can do this, you can always go online and find one. It is really great to read various computer tips you can easily find on the net. Many of these tips are all about how to make things more convenient and efficient.

Ronaldo, Bale, Griezmann vie for Best Footballer in Europe Award
Nyon, Aug 5 (IANS) Real Madrid stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale and Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann have made it to the final list of footballers competing for the Best Player in Europe Award, after UEFA announced the final three on Friday.
FC Barcelona's Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi came in fourth and fifth positions, followed by Juventus keeper Gianluigi Buffon in sixth, reports Efe.
Past editions have been won by Lionel Messi (2011, 2015), Andres Iniesta (2012), Franck Ribery (2013) and Ronaldo (2014).
"As in previous years, journalists from each of UEFA's 55 member associations provided an initial list of their five best-ranked players, with the first receiving five points, the second four, and so on. The ten players with the most points advanced to a second round of voting which has determined the three finalists named today," UEFA said in a statement on Friday.
Among other players, Real Madrid's Portuguese Pepe was in seventh place while his German club-mate Toni Kroos came in at ninth. Bayern Munich's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was eighth and his team mate Thomas Muller completed the top 10.
The winner of the trophy will be announced during the 2016-17 UEFA Champions League group stage draw in Monaco on August 25.

CSS IE one pixel image offset hack
For some time, I've been trying to center the Designer Jones website. The road was long and fraught with peril … <grin>
Designer Jones was designed to look like a magazine. Its construction means it's not the sort of design that is easily centered — because the "top" of the design is a one-piece header image (the gray downcurve next to "Main Menu" is the bottom edge of the image) and I wanted the text in the two right columns to start at the top of the "page". To effect this, I used CSS-P (absolutely positioned divs, or "layers" to you Dreamweaver folk) to hold that text in place on top of the image. The positioning nailed it there, beautifully unmoving, seemingly unbreakable. It also meant that DesignerJones was stuck to the left side of the screen in larger monitors. Besides, even if I ultimately decided that left-side was what I wanted, I wanted to have a choice about the matter.
I recoded and tested in Opera 8, Mozilla, Firefox and IE 5.5 and 6. After numerous trials, most of which made it work in most browers but not all, I finally hit upon a solution.
Note that I cut the top image into two; the gray logo on the left and the two "pages" image to serve as background on the right. The code:
body {background-image:#fff url(whatever.gif) center repeat-y;)

<div id="sidebarcontainer" floats right

The IE one-pixel image shift
The problem was that, in IE 6, the header image was shifted to the left by one pixel, making the design look … well, stupid. If you're going to have lines, vertical or otherwise, they should align.
I tried, of course, the various IE hacks for feeding one margin to IE and another to the rest of the browsers. That worked for IE6 but I encountered what, to me, was always going to be the nightmare scenario: a hack that works in one version of IE but not another. While my solution worked gloriously in IE6, it misaligned in the same way in IE5.5.
Then, finally, a clue: that IE may be centering based on screen width less scrollbar. That
is, perhaps the problem was not that the two top images were shifting, but that the background image in the body tag wasn't quite centered?
A quick hack, and all was well:
body {margin:0; padding:0; font-family:etc;
background: #fff url('bk.jpg') center repeat-y;
margin-left:1px} <= for IE
html>body {margin:0} <= for other browsers
I'm sorry that I've since cleared my history and cache; I'd like to credit the person who posted the clue. In any case: may good befall you.
ADDED 10/29/09: If you do not have to split up the header image, then it's best to ensure that the header image is an even number of pixels … that is, 900px rather than 931px. This tip may save you from unnecessary craziness.

Lady, you just saved me lots of hair pulling out. I take my hat off to you.
You are most welcome. We all help each other out here on the Web; without that, things would go a lot slower. <grin>
I ended up doing DesignerJones a different way entirely: by putting the "book background" (the part that extends downward on the page) into an outer div that encloses everything:

content here

menu here

The problem with that, though, was that some browsers would not display the div's background image. (How lame is that?) (Etc.) All that was left of the visuals was the two header pieces at the top … no further background under the page content, navigation, etc.
I was finally able to determine that the problem only occurred when the outer div contained floats. By tinkering with it, I found that it was easily solved by adding something *after* the two floats (but before closing the outer div):

And -presto- the page background appeared. I'm no Eric Meyer, but this works. At least, for now.
More information at Position is Everything.
One last comment: it's also helpful to ensure that your layout width is an even number; 780px is good, while 781px will give you problems.
My eyes are glazing over :) . I tried your first solution, but what happened then was my background shifted completely to the left margin for some reason. I'd love to try your second solution, but it went over my head. I'd be eternally grateful for a bit more detail on how to utilize that solution.
Thank you for any help you can give!
Okay; not sure what the problem might be without a link to your site. :)
One tip: make sure your background width is an even number (not, for instance, 781px).
Well, I sort of got creative with the one I was working on before but now I am back and here is the URL:
The header table, in IE, is one pixel off to the left and I just don't understand the div thing well enough to fix it. The stylesheet is already pretty complicated and I know just enough to change what I have to, but I just can't figure this one out. Any help is appreciated. Oh, and the background width is 900px in all places.
I haven't looked closely at it, but:
– set a fixed width for the table, and add margin:auto
That alone may fix it. However, if you're adding margins around the table, then IE does … interesting things.
Okay, the table is an ImageReady sliced table. In the place where the width is set, it doesn't seem to like margin (I'm using Dreamweaver and it suggests things that belong and margin is not one of them so I am assuming that means it's not a valid attribute in that particular place). I did find the style in the stylesheet and added margin:auto, but that didn't help. I also set it to a fixed width, but nothing there, either. I even added a around the image table only with what you suggested and that didn't do it, either. I swear I'm taking a class soon on CSS, but right now, this is so frustrating! Why can't they all just show it the same way?!?!?
Let me know if you want to see any files, I'll happily send them to you.
Okay, I finally found an answer and since it is specific to the stylesheet and script I was working with, I won't leave it here. I just wanted to let you know so you didn't spend any more time trying to figure it out for me.
I know what you mean about browsers; unfortunately, that's just the way it is right now. At least they're closer in display than they used to be.
Glad you found a way to sort it out. :)
Thanks much for this. Helped me out on a problem I was having!
You're very welcome. I'm glad it's helped.
Hi Diane, I tried the fix but it doesn't seem to work for me. Could you have a look and see if i'm doing something wrong.
Hi David. I haven't looked closely at your code, but I would take a look at your widths on the wide images and the borders.
In essence, if an image is 800px, then the border around the whole thing probably ought to be 802px.
Thanks for replying Diane.
I've got the vertical border image at 798px and the wide images are at 796px.
"html>body {margin:0}
Excellent. Did that work for you?
By the way, I always do this:
body {margin:0; padding:0}
Hi Diane
Managed to get the fix to work for IE but everything shifted 1 px to the right in other browsers. Fixed the problem though using a separate style sheet for IE.
You're very welcome, Mike. :)
Here is another fix for you that is even simpler. If you make the image 3000 pixels wide (too wide for any monitor) and put the bg image in the center of it then it wont jump around with the resizing of the browser. The background image is actually floating when the browser window is wider than the background image itself. So if you make it way too wide then it will not float because you cannot reach the width of the image with the browser.
True. On the other hand, I'd think it would depend on the size of your background image … if it's not just a few K in size, then you may be requiring people to download a huge image just to get your background straight. But it's a solution.
On the other hand, paraphrasing what I said above: if you do not have to split up the header image, then it's best to ensure that the header image is an even number of pixels in width … that is, 900px rather than 931px. This tip may save you from unnecessary craziness.
Thanks! This fixes IE issue.
Note: push left or right.
margin-left:1px} <= for IE
margin-right:1px} <= for IE
body {margin:0; padding:0; font-family:etc;
background: #fff url('bk.jpg') center repeat-y;
margin-left:1px} <= for IE
Never had this issue until today.

WASHINGTON – (AFP) – The seasonal hole in the ozone layer above the Antarctic this year was the second smallest in two decades, but still covered an area roughly the size of North America, US experts said.
The average size of the Earth's protective shield was 6.9 million square miles (17.9 million square kilometers), according to satellite measurements by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and US space agency NASA.
"It happened to be a bit warmer this year high in the atmosphere above Antarctica, and that meant we didn't see quite as much ozone depletion as we saw last year, when it was colder," said Jim Butler of NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory in the Colorado city of Boulder.
The Antarctic ozone hole, which forms in September and October, reached its largest size for the season — 8.2 million square miles, roughly the combined area of the United States, Mexico and Canada — on September 22, NOAA said.
In comparison, the largest ozone hole recorded to date was one of 11.5 million square miles in the year 2000.
The ozone layer — which helps protect the Earth from potentially dangerous ultraviolet rays that can cause skin cancer and cataracts — began developing holes on an annual basis starting in the 1980s due to chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs.
CFCs, once commonly used in refrigerators and aerosol cans, now are almost non-existent thanks to an international treaty signed on September 16, 1987, amid global concern over widening holes in the ozone layer.
Still, it could take another decade before scientists detect early signs that the ozone over the Antarctic is returning, NOAA said.
The ozone layer above Antarctica likely will not return to its early 1980s state until about 2060, according to NASA scientist Paul Newman.

The heritage value of the Hammam will be highlighted during an exhibition around the social tradition and architectural features of the traditional baths, organised by the Hammamed project funded by the EU under the Euromed Heritage 4 programme.
A press release said the exhibition, to take place from 22 March to 10 April in the Moroccan city of Fez under the title "Hammam, hidden doors, living treasures" seeks to give an insight into the past, present and future of this very special place, with a focus on the present situation in Damascus, Fez and Cairo, through museum objects, panoramic photos, video installations, documentary films, architectural models and a participatory project.
The exhibition is designed as a contribution to the collective memory in the Mediterranean region on one hand, and as a participatory local process on the other. It shows the hammam with its architectural features, its social importance, its intergenerational values, its high gender qualities that make it a heritage site which deserves the attention of the European as well as of the Mediterranean public.
The event, involving local dwellers, hammam managers, artists, students, intellectuals and artisans, includes discussions about soap making, silk towels, hygiene and social rituals.
Hammamed, funded with a budget of € 1,193,470 for the period 2009-2012, is implemented by Austria, Morocco, Syria and the United Kingdom with the aim of raising awareness of the hammam as a cultural heritage for the Mediterranean area and beyond. It promotes an effective and integrated management for two selected hammams (Hammam Ammuna in Damascus and Hammam Saffarin in Fez) and encourages the knowledge of traditional social practices associated with the hammam in order to overcome constraints for actively using this kind of space, but also to enhance the knowledge about the unique architecture. The project also encourages social and economic side effects through the successful revitalisation and modernisation of hammams, with surrounding areas serving as an example of urban regeneration.

The aim of this Jean Monnet website is to offer lawyers (barristers, PhD students, Master students, judges, academics, etc.) an array of materials regarding the conflict opposing trade to environmental concerns in the EU. These documents range from reference documents, working papers, the relevant case law to the Chair holder's publications. Most documents are published in English, whereas other papers are published in French, Dutch, Spanish, and Portuguese.
In providing these materials, I hope to contribute to the ongoing academic debate on trade v. environment. In effect, environmental protection is not only a core objective of the EU, it has also been placed on equal footing with economic growth and the internal market. What is more, as far as secondary law is concerned, EU environmental law has progressively grown from a sparse set of directives to a vast body of regulatory measures. However, despite the progresses that were made, the results of this policy have at the very least been muted. One of the main difficulties environmental law has been facing in the EU is related to the fact that the legal order of the EU is conceptualised in terms of economic integration, reckoning upon the internal market that is based on the free movement provisions promoting access to the different national markets and on the absence of distortions of competition.
Nicolas de Sadeleer is professor of law at Saint Louis University, Brussels, and guest professor at UCL. Being based in Brussels, he plays an active part in debates on EU legal and institutional issues. Author of Environmental Principles (OUP, 2002) and EU Environmental Law and the Internal Market (OUP, 2014), he held from 2004 to 2005 a EU Marie Curie chair on risk assessment and risk management at the law faculty of the University of Oslo. In 2017 he was Distinguished International Visiting Professor at the University of Canberra. He has been awarded in 2010 a Jean Monnet Chair focusing on the trade and environment conflict under the Jean Monnet Action scheme of the European Commission, a programme that promotes European knowledge and competence throughout higher education institutions worldwide.
Funds from this position will be used in providing continuing support for existing academic activities and to create and publish new research. They will also support work to prepare conferences and a new summer course in Brussels. The dissemination of this project is based on the use of innovative pedagogical tools.
