It was founded by "Hortus Orchis", a non-profit Association to:
But why bother to save this collection?
In nature, these plants are seriously threatened due to the systematic destruction of rainforests.
In Ecuador alone 50,000 orchid plants are being destroyed every day (data American Orchid Society, 2005) * and all climatic studies, foresee in the near future, significant changes that could affect the survival of a number of orchids (in addition to many other plant species)
But heavy alterations of natural habitats occur every day in Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico, in tropical Africa, Malaysia, Borneo, Java, Sumatra, Indonesia, Indochina Peninsula, Papua, and other countries where, in order to obtain valuable timber or create plantations many primary forests and savannas are destroyed permanently.
Today in Italy, it is difficult to see a public collection of orchids, although in the past we had some very important ones.
To cite some examples : the Grand Duke Leopold II of Tuscany had a collection of orchids, at that time one of the most important in the world, but it was lost on his death , the Domidoff collection in Florence (orchids and rare plants) suffered the same fate.
The same was true for the important collection of Castel Gandolfo, owned by the Vatican City, and that of Coleman, that disappeared in a short time, but .... the list is much longer.
For these reasons, I would like the collection "Hortus Orchis" to remain alive for a long time to come.
How many collections of living plants, are there in this corner of biodiversity, collecting epiphytes, litofite and geophytes, with a height varyng from a few mm to 4 meters, from many parts of the world: Central and South America, especially the Andes and from ' Amazonia, tropical Africa, Japan, Asia Himalayas, Indochinese Peninsula, China, Malaysia, Borneo, Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, the Moluccas, Papua, Philippines, Australia, New Zealand.
Environments ranging from the rainforests to the semi-desert areas, from an altitude of 4000 meters in Tibet and Ecuador, to islands on the equator.
The flowers that you can see in '"Hortus Orchis" vary in size from 1 mm to 20 cm, grouped in an inflorescence length of up to two meters, can be more or less fragrant and their flowering, which occurs several times during the year, can last from a few hours to 4-5 months.
I believe it is the duty of our generation to protect these species, maintaining biodiversity and handing them over to our children and generations to come
To achieve these objectives, the 'Association of Horus Orchis is looking for partners , private or public, that agree with these values, to provide donations, material contributions , botanical orchids not included in the collection or to replace them, also considering books, the exchange of plants and sponsorships
This is to ensure continuity for the sole expense of maintaining and expanding the collection, and to ensure that future generations can still admire orchids at high risk of extinction.
We need to create the conditions so that this collection can become public, entrusted in experienced hands, and admired by many people who love the beauty of our
extraordinary nature

Expanding U.S. Military Partnerships in the Pacific
December 12, 2008
Interviewee: Admiral Timothy J. Keating, Commander, U.S. Pacific Command
Interviewer: Greg Bruno, Staff Writer, CFR.org
Admiral Timothy J. Keating, commander of U.S. Pacific Command, says it would be a "giant leap of faith" to believe the United States and China could develop a close military partnership any time soon. Keating, who commands U.S. forces responsible for an area ranging from New Zealand to Mongolia, says there will need to be more transparency, better understanding of Chinese intentions, and greater cooperation before the two sides could move toward a partnership. But Keating says the U.S. military in the Pacific continues to forge close relations with allies based on policies of mutual interest. Keating says the incoming Obama administration should "emphasize partnership, presence, and a military readiness" with allies while "acknowledging the environmental crises that are looming, to include global warming, to include energy demand."
The new U.S. Pacific Command strategy you approved in November has been described as a subtle shift in vision, in which America's assertive role in the region is deemphasized in favor of greater cooperation and collaboration. Elaborate on why you think this change was necessary now.
It is, I think, from our position, as much as an acknowledgment of the way of the world as recognition of the main elements of the strategy and their importance. We are working as hard as we know how to emphasize partnership, not just [military-to-military], not even just interagency to interagency, but government to government, non-government organizations to NGOs, commercial partners to commercial partners. It's a fairly broad coalition, if you will, of not just the willing, but 'the coalition, the committed,' as the Tongans put it. So, there is an increase in awareness of, an emphasis on partnership, and an acknowledgment, not just from our bully pulpit, but enforced by all the conversations that I have in the twenty-eight-some countries we visited so far, of the desire for U.S. presence. So, that's where you get a partnership, a presence and a military readiness. [It's] not so much a new way of thinking about things as wrapping what has proven to be successful over decades out here with an eye on the way ahead.
So it's not about a concern that U.S. image in the region needs an overhaul?
There is not in this headquarters and I get no sense of that in my discussions with military, governmental, and commercial partners all throughout the Asia-Pacific region. I don't get that sense.
The new strategy seems to suggest that all players in the region should be treated as partners, not threats, but with regards to China, I wonder if there is a slight contradiction between your strategy and the Pentagon's approach.
We don't see it that way. I think it's a giant leap of faith to think that in the near- to mid-term, we as a nation and the policy makers in particular would regard China as a partner, particularly, on a mil-to-mil basis. That said we hope that in the mid- to long-term we can be closer to that consideration than we are today. And to get from where we are--not a partner--to where we would like to be--more like a partner--is going to require more transparency, a better understanding of intention on our part of the Chinese, and to get there we would need more active cooperation with the Chinese.
A Chinese military official recently suggested China would be interested in acquiring an aircraft carrier. Staying with this question of intent, first, how far along is China in that acquisition process? Would China acquiring weaponry of this type be a significant strategic concern for the U.S., or is it more of a symbolic threat?
"Counter-terrorism efforts [are ongoing] throughout Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, and other countries of South and South-East Asia, an area of significant effort on our behalf. But at the top of the list right now is India-Pakistan."
China already has an aircraft carrier. They bought a discarded, which may be the word, or excess military equipment, ski-jump carrier from Russia. It wouldn't take a whole lot for China's military to get their hands on that platform and perhaps do some research and development testing to figure out whether they could return it to aircraft carrier status. Now, all that said, it's a fairly rudimentary kind of carrier, it's a ski-jump, very small flight deck capability and it's old and the Russians gave it up for a reason I would assume. So to get to the larger issue of does China want to pursue the capabilities inherent in an aircraft carrier or a navy that has aircraft carrier capability? I believe they do. In discussions I had in our first visit to China over a year and a half ago, some senior Chinese official, he was a Navy guy at the two or three star level, said, "Hey you know, we're thinking of building carriers and how about we make you this deal," he said, I think in jest. He had a wry grin on his face but he nonetheless made the following statement: '"You keep your aircraft carriers east of Hawaii. We'll keep ours west. You share your information with us; we'll share our information with you. We'll save you the time and effort of coming all the way to the Western Pacific."
Did you take him up on it?
Well, my response was just as yours was. I chuckled, slightly, and said, no thanks. Then I went on to tell him: "it ain't as easy as it looks and it's taken us since before World War II to get our aircraft carrier technology and capability to where it is today." Russia and other countries have discovered, once again: "It ain't as easy as it looks." So we'll watch carefully if China chooses to pursue the development of aircraft carrier technology and capability. We will ask them to be transparent with us. We will ask them to share with us their intentions. But when we've done that in the past, the Chinese military and the government officials say in response to my questions, "Well you need to understand, we only want to protect those things that are ours." Fair enough, so do we, and so do all countries who have access to the maritime domain and the air domain.
A specific point of departure in our relationship with China is the Taiwan issue. How do you see the relationship between China and Taiwan today?
To be sure, the tensions have decreased. Both China and Taiwan have undertaken, in our view, fairly significant efforts to continue defusing the tension across the straits and some of these are in a way kind of almost pedestrian. They have had meetings to where they agree to share exotic animals for zoos. They have agreed on streamlining their postal system. They have agreed to increase cross-channel commercial flights. All of these are encouraging signs from our perspective. We tell both China and Taiwan, with equal enthusiasm, that we are very anxious to sustain stability across the straits. That we would like for them to work to achieve a solution that is mutually satisfactory. And we encourage as much dialogue as both countries can sustain.
Let's move to an area where tensions are quite high, India. The attack over Thanksgiving I'm sure is something you've been following very closely. Can you comment on whether you've offered any assistance to the India government?
Let me answer it this way: It's an ongoing operation so I can't give you specifics. I've had conversations with members of our national command authority. [U.S. Central Command chief Gen.] Dave Petraeus and I have had multiple conversations. Our Pacific command staff is in constant contact with the Central Command staff and across the spectrum of military headquarters staffs. We're keeping a very close eye on India-Pakistan. We're sharing those perspectives with each other's staff and with the national command authority and this is a situation that's still unfolding.
As the India case illustrates there are many hot spots from rogue terror groups to friction in the Koreas, concerns over cyber security, climate change and impacts to island nations, and a host of others. I wonder if you could weigh in on what you see as the principle points of concern. What keeps you up at night?
"I think it's a giant leap of faith to think that in the near- to mid-term we as a nation and the policy makers in particular would regard China as a partner, particularly on a [military-to-military] basis."
When that question comes from our friends in the media or our colleagues on the Hill I answer the same and I don't mean to be glib, but I sleep pretty soundly every night. But with that said, the obvious intention of the question is, what are the major areas of concern? Right now, it's India-Pakistan. You touched on them. [Chief U.S. negotiator] Chris Hill just [returned] from a not entirely fulfilling Six-Party talks session [over North Korea's nuclear program], and that's hardly the first time an adjective like that or a phrase like that is applied to six-party talks. I think his spokesperson is saying that there was no progress made but there is still room for progress. So that's North-South Korea. There's the question of Kim Jong-Il's health and the succession plan that we worked out, of course, diligently. Jemaah Islamiyah and Abu Sayyaf group activities in the Southern Philippines-we have six-hundred and some Special Forces there supporting armed forces in the Philippines operations. Counter-terrorism efforts [are ongoing] throughout Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, and other countries of South and South-East Asia, an area of significant effort on our behalf. But at the top of the list right now is India-Pakistan.
You mentioned Southern Philippines. With Abu Sayyaf, there are indications that their activity is increasing. Is there more that the U.S. military can do to assist the Philippine government?
I don't think so. We've got, as I said, a very large complement of highly trained special operations forces there. We've been there for over half a decade. We're sharing intelligence with them. We're providing tactics, techniques, and procedures with them. So I'm satisfied that our national level of support is appropriate for the task at hand in the Southern Philippines. Now that's not to be dismissive of the challenge facing the armed forces in the Philippines, but they are demonstrating to us increased capability and increased wherewithal as they fight [Abu Sayyaf] in particular and Jemaah Islamiyah, secondarily.
Your new approach that you recently put into play seems to echo what the Defense Secretary Gates has been advocating: pay more attention to state building and governance issues. Do you have any advice to the incoming administration on how to strengthen U.S. military capabilities in this area?
I don't know that I wouldn't say anything different to the new administration than we're saying to the current administration. You know, I've been in uniform for almost forty years now. We have enjoyed changes of administration, since I been at it, a bunch of times. So, we would hope to have a constant and convincing theme for President-elect Obama's team, some of whom we've already met and have enjoyed significant discussions with, and it would emphasize partnership, presence, and a military readiness. Acknowledging the increased global market that was representing the Asia-Pacific area, acknowledging the environmental crises that are looming, to include global warming, to include energy demand, all the while, we would underscore the importance of security and stability based on our strategy, which we think is an effective way of sustaining that peace and stability.

If you're thinking about renting a car for a summer vacation, you need to start planning now. Demand is up, but there aren't many cars available. That's driving up prices if you can even find a car.
This all started because of what happened last year when people weren't traveling because of the pandemic.
The CEO of AutoSlash, a company that helps you find cheap rentals, tells us car rental companies sold off hundreds of thousands of vehicles to stay in business with the big drop in demand. Now, the demand is back, but they don't have the cars.
"We did some pricing checks and you know the news was sort of mixed, there were places like Orlando, where I saw rates of $399 a day for this weekend and into next week. But yet, if you book a week or two farther out, you can get rates of like $60 or $70 a day. Now, it's still not great, I mean the normal range of this time of year would be $30 or $40 a day," said Jonathan Weinberg, CEO and founder of AutoSlash.
Other places AutoSlash found high car rentals prices or cars sold out right now include cities all across Florida, and then Charlotte, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Savannah and Tucson.
They say they're already seeing increased demand and higher rates starting in the northeast and Midwest too. It could be the fall before things return to normal across the country.
"Where we're seeing the biggest problems is for the larger vehicles so minivans, full size SUVs, anything that basically seats more than six people, we're seeing prices spiking right now, because those are in short supply. Those are the types of vehicles that folks want to use for a road trip," said Weinberg.
He advises booking your rental car at least a month out.
Consider checking rental car prices before you even book your plane ticket. You can choose an option that lets you make a reservation without having to give your credit card in advance, so you can back out without a fee if needed.
Also, check both the airport and off-airport rental locations. The rules that typically apply with prices at these may not apply now.
Another trick is if you search and there's nothing available, add days to your rental and you may start seeing availability for booking longer.
Weinberg says you can return the car early and you may get money back for the additional days.
AutoSlash's service is free. You don't pay up front and it tracks the price of your rental for price drops you can take advantage of. They also automatically apply coupon discount codes to your rental.

A while ago, I was listening to WOXY (and it was a long time ago, now that the station is no longer streaming). "Sylvia" by The Antlers came on and I instantly loved it. It's one of those songs that make me emotional and I feel a weird pain or sadness in my heart. To put it simply, it's a beautiful song. The way he sings, the lyrics, the grand sound. It's quite cinematic and inspires me as an artist. So I started to check out other songs by this band. I found the music video for "Two" on YouTube. It was my first time hearing that song and seeing the video. Same thing happened. I cried. Such a great video. When I want to cry, or just feel blue, I listen to The Antlers. Earlier this year they played the Troubadour. I wanted to go see them but, I hesitated because I wanted to save money and was also in a depressed state. Well, I waited too long because when I finally decided I wanted to buy tickets, it was sold out. I was beyond bummed out. Then, I was elated to hear that they were going to play at the Getty Center for the "Saturdays off the 405" free concert series. It was kind of chilly but overall it was such a gorgeous day.
They should have listened. They thought that you were lying.

1. Stress Less Safety Can Opener
2. Stress Less Garlic Press
3. Stress Less Easy Grind Pepper
4. Stress Less Easy Grind Salt Mill
5. Stress Less Pizza Cutter
6. Stress Less Rotary Cheese Grater
I have really enjoyed all the products. They are very well made. They are definitely easy on the joins while using them. My absolute favorite are the pepper grinder and salt grinder. We have the regular ol grinders like:
I learned something while using the salt grinder...salt really can loose its flavor. I knew that pepper did, but had no idea that salt tastes so much better when it is freshly ground. Seriously!
This salt grinder (and the pepper one) were so easy to use. I fell in love with them! I think the old set might just find their way to the garage sale pile.
I really like the can opener because it is one of those that don't end up with rough edges. I will say that it does take a little to get used to compared to the other style that I have but I do really like the smooth edges on a can.
Sadly, I wasn't able to use the garlic press (oh but I will in about a month). We don't have any garlic except what is growing on the ditch bank out back.
I loved using the cheese grinder. It makes nice and small shredded cheese. It worked great with a softer cheese (like cheddar) and I am sure it would be wonderful with hard cheeses as well.
All of the products are great to use...easy on your joints. They are easy and quick...nothing complicated at all. Which makes my life as a busy mom easier for sure!
So now onto the best part of all! One of you lucky people will be the new owners of $143 worth of kitchen products. You will receive an awesome box just like the one that I did

Vancouver is one of the most liveable cities in Canada, and though it's an expensive place to live, renters and home buyers still flock to the city to enjoy what it has to offer. Let's look at a few of the neighbourhoods across the city, and help you find your next home!
Kensington-Cedar Cottage is one of Vancouver's most ethnically diverse neighbourhoods, and is younger and more diverse than most of the city. The area is extremely family-friendly and is overall a tight-knit community where most businesses are independently owned and owners know their customers personally. More affordable than other neighbourhoods, Kensington-Cedar Cottage has a great mix of rental buildings and homes. Hastings-Sunrise is one of Vancouver's oldest neighbourhoods—a working-class area with single-family and multi-family residences. Also a very multicultural neighbourhood, Hastings-Sunrise is home to newcomers to Canada, young professionals, and artists, giving it a very eclectic feel. Grandview-Woodland is one of Vancouver's older neighbourhoods, and it's a busy one with a number of main streets criss-crossing through the area. You can find commercial, industrial, and residential spaces here, which gives the neighbourhood a range living and rental opportunities. Grandview-Woodland is home to Commercial Drive, a popular strip known for incredibly unique shops
Fairview is a strong family-based neighbourhood, with a number of schools throughout the area. It's also a heavily commercial and employment area, with health care institutions like Vancouver General Hospital and shopping centres like City Square Mall. Kitsilano is mainly a residential area with notable commercial areas, and is famous for its arts scene. The neighbourhood is home to a number of annual festivals like the Vancouver International Children's Festival and Greek Day. West Point Grey is a more expensive neighbourhood in Vancouver, with home prices averaging $3 million. Vancouver's largest youth hostel is located in West Point Grey, as are a number of schools, and Fiesta Days—a family-focused carnival.
Yaletown used to be a heavily industrial area, but has since been transformed into a densely populated neighbourhood with high rise apartment buildings, renovated historical sites, and more. Yaletown is accessible by various forms of public transportation, like the Aquabus, False Town Ferries, and the SkyTrain. Vancouver's Chinatown is Canada's largest Chinese enclave, and is world-renowned as a popular tourist destination. With restaurants, shops, grocery stores and more, the area is in the midst of a revitalization, including the building of new condos throughout the neighbourhood. Downtown Vancouver is the hustling and bustling centre of the city, filled with commerce, culture, finance, and entertainment industries. Bridges provide access to Downtown, as do the SeaBus and SkyTrain. High-rise apartments and condos can be found throughout the core, making it an ideal residential area for people who want to be in the middle of the action.

South Hobart qualified for the Premier League section Summer Cup final from Group A when they beat New Town Eagles 1-0 at South Hobart today.
Their opponents from Group B will be known on Sunday when Glenorchy Knights take on Kingborough Lions United at 2.30pm at South Hobart.
In today's Group B match, Clarence United downed Taroona 2-0 to move level on 6 points with Knights, but Clarence have completed their games, whereas Knights have the game against Lions still to play.
Kingborough must beat Knights on Sunday by three clear goals to reach the final.
If they beat Knights 2-0, then Knights, Clarence and Kingborough will be level in every regard - points, goal-difference and goals scored.
If Kingborough win 3-1, then Clarence are out and Kingborough and Knights will be equal in every regard.
A win of 3-0 or better is, therefore, the target for the Lions.
Eagles put up a plucky display against South today and only a last-minute goal by Jonathon Lo settled the issue.
South had nearly all the possession and sprayed passes over every square centimetre of the pitch, but they could not score.
They went close in the 12th minute when a deep cross from Greg Downes was headed against the crossbar by Liam Scott. The ball rebounded to Kostas Kanakaris, who shot into the side-netting.
Most of South's other shots were straight at goalkeeper Craig Minty, who, nevertheless, had to make one superb save when he turned Scott's shot over the bar 11 minutes from the end.
Two minutes later, Bart Beecroft lifted a half-volley over the Eagles' bar as South kept up the pressure without reward.
Adam McKeown worked his socks off for Eagles in a lone role up front. At times he was surrounded by three defenders, but he stuck to the task and was probably Eagles' best player.
Shane Kent was solid at sweeper, while his fellow defenders fought tenaciously against a team that stretched them this way and that without being able to get in an effective strike at goal.
Steve Louden was ferocious in the tackle and often disrupted South's attacks before they became too menacing.
Eagles introduced Chris Jones 6 minutes after the interval and it took him only four minutes to get booked.
His impact was mainly physical and he was never able to gain possession and make things happen.
When South brought on Garry Upton, the sparks soon flew between the pair.
Upton stabilised the South Hobart ship, however, and won every aerial duel and actually found team-mates with his passes from midfield.
Too often, before he came on, South's midfielders squandered possession by playing bad passes.
Eagles, on the other hand, had their backs to the wall and relied on sporadic counter-attacks that usually came to nothing.
They had only one genuine chance, but Michael Anderson was off target.
With seconds remaining and South assured of a place in the final, regardless of the outcome of the penalty shoot-out if the game ended in a draw, Eagles cracked and allowed their opponents to collect all three points.
A long ball forward by Scott was collected by Kanakaris, who played a short pass inside to Lo, who hammered it home from close range.
Clarence were comfortable winners over Taroona, who finished the tournament without scoring a goal and losing all three games.
Clarence wore black armbands in memory of Jack Huigsloot, the grandfather of Luke Huigsloot, who passed away during the week.
Ben Hamlett fired Clarence ahead in the 10th minute with a long-range effort from the right.
Sam McIntyre made it 2-0 seven minutes into the second half when he turned home Alex Nandan's precise left-wing cross.
Nandan added the third direct from a corner from the right midway through the half.
Taroona had a couple of half-chances before the end but poor finishing yet again cost them dearly.
With seven minutes remaining, for example, Hugo Luttmer put Marc Gates away on the right and when his shot was partially blocked by the Clarence keeper, the ball fell to Garry Hamilton, who miscued in front of an empty net.
South Hobart produced an excellent performance in the Reserves, downing New Town Eagles 8-0.
Andy Brennan, Jo Yeong-Sun and Mizael Linhares Caires all scored braces, while Seth Otte and Will Ross netted a goal apiece.
Caires's two goals, in particular, were outstanding. His first came from a beautifully flighted chip from the right, while his second came when he broke clear in the inside-right channel and beat the advancing keeper.
A goal by Luke Wilcock gave Clarence a 1-0 win over Taroona.
In Group A in the Division One Summer Cup, Metro beat the Tasmanian Institute of Sport 4-1 through two goals by Jason Dawes and one each by Aaron Marney and Jeremy Morris.
Nelson Eastern Suburbs overcame Huon Valley 7-1, with Tom Gordon netting a hat-trick and Bill Hanley, Adam Mills, Patrick Lenck and Will Stalker grabbing a goal apiece.
Huon Valley replied with a penalty.

fantastic collection thank u
thanks for the list.. was looking for it..
Very informative post and just what I was looking for. Thank you
What about adding LEADLANDER.com
Greetings I recently finished reading through your blog and I'm very impressed. I do have a couple questions for you personally however. Do you think you're thinking about doing a follow-up posting about this? Will you be going to keep bringing up-to-date as well?
don't forget http://www.mapmyuser.com. real-time visitor stats
Until now i used only Google Analytics and Awstats from Cpanel, i`m impressed by the demo from Woopra
May I know which of these services have an "all in one" page where I can see the latest visitors for all my sites on one page?
Amazing and i was bit confused and finally i found yours from google…keep it up
very nice
thank you
Is there a way to track traffic without inserting code in the pages?
i like these site. i was looking for someting like these
interesting job keep on the good job
I am using only Google Analitycs. It provides me all information i want to know about my site.
We are using WOW Analytics to track visitors and we have been able to see the names of companies visiting our site. So far, we found 4 potential leads and we closed a deal with one of them.
Google Analytics is fantastic to get an analysis of your website but I will recommend WOW Analytics if you really want to know your leads and increase your sales and Marketing activities.
I believe you are missing WOW Analyticws on your list :)
this is also a good one
you will love it
Thanks for the important sources that you provided
But can you provide a one that we don't cave to post a code in my site
Very nice website I will study it. Your suggestions were very helpful, Thanks!
Come to India to visit it. India a great country in the world, here a hues No of people live with each other.
Awstats is one with good accuracy, but no offer so many detailed information.
I use ahrefs.com is very very goog, completely, excatly program for SEO
The new Google Analytics is not good at all… I was looking for a list of other tool, I found it here. There are too much to test, I will try some according comment, Woopra seems the best. However I saw it's just basic which is free…
Comprehensive list of websites to track visitors and statistics. However I believe Google Current solution, the evolution of urchin is the most precise one. I just would like to see new ways, skins and pre-made forms to visualize the data from Google Analytics, which, in comparison with the other sites, like Woopra, lacks behind a bit.
Also, it would be a nice addition to try to pin point user attention to improve the webpage as a part of the A/B testing done by Google.
u do really nice work
can you please share the site which tell me my site traffic without signup process or email requirement??
If its tracking website traffic, I would prefer using Google analytics, as its free and also effective compared to other paid tools.
Very helpful list. For those who have multiple websites like me and want to skip on checking your accounts one by one just to get your website traffic information, You can try ogggy.com, their solution worked for me. I can now track 54 websites by using just one account.

I love this informative article. I have been using google analytics and it seems that now I will have to try another tool for tracking, I hope it will work
We use a website called Stats2Leads – tracks all website traffic and shows visitors paths and lots more
Great Article !

I like Woopra (http://woopra.com) and I'm also on Miapex (http://miapex.com) as a combination of web analytics suite.
Thanks for putting this list together. I will bookmark it to read it at a later time.
I get conversions using this.

Oreo cheesecake holds a very special place in my heart. Our groom's cake at our wedding was not just cheesecake, but oreo cheesecake.
And since I love reliving our wedding day, I'll share a picture. This is the Ramblin' Wreck, which is sort of a second mascot for Georgia Tech, behind Buzz. It is driven onto the field at the start of every home game. Not only did we have a replica of the Wreck for the groom's cake, but we also used the real thing as our getaway car from the reception. Driving through the streets of downtown Atlanta in the Wreck was one of the most fun experiences ever.
Anyway, many of our guests still comment on the cake. I have to admit that even though our wedding cake was drop-dead gorgeous, this cake definitely upstaged it. It was not only incredibly detailed and ornate, but come on - it was oreo cheesecake! And the entire cake was demolished within 10 minutes. I'm glad I got a bite of it when we cut into it, otherwise I would have been out of luck!
So when I came across these cute little mini cheesecakes in Martha Stewart's Cupcakes, I knew that Joey would love them. And of course he did - and so has everyone else who tried them! I've actually made these cupcakes several times, though I'm just now getting around to sharing them on the blog. They are so so simple. A whole oreo is used for the crust, so no crushing cookies, pressing crusts, prebaking, etc. And the filling comes together in less than 5 minutes. It is super simple, and only a few ingredients - cream cheese, cookies, sour cream (though I used Greek yogurt last time I made these with no problem), eggs, and vanilla. They do require a bit of preplanning, since they need to chill for a few hours before serving, but I'd say the hard part is actually waiting for them to chill before digging in!
Since (obviously) I look back on our wedding day with fond memories, every time I make these cupcakes I'm reminded of not only of such a wonderful day, but also of our incredibly awesome cake!
Cookies and Cream Cheesecakes
Martha Stewart's Cupcakes
makes 30 cupcakes
- 42 Oreos - 30 left whole, and 12 coarsely chopped
- 2 lbs cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- pinch of salt
With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the cream cheese until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Gradually add the sugar, and beat until smooth. Beat in the vanilla, then drizzle in the eggs. When well combined, mix in the sour cream and salt. Stir in the chopped cookies by hand.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin tins, filling each one almost to the top. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until the filling is just set, about 22 minutes.
Transfer the tins to wire racks to cool completely, then refrigerate (in tins) at least 4 hours. Remove from tins just before serving.

Indiana Once Tried to Change Pi to 3.2
By Ethan Trex
Any high school geometry student worth his or her protractor knows that pi is an irrational number, but if you've got to approximate the famed ratio, 3.14 will work in a pinch. That wasn't so much the case in late-19th-century Indiana, though. That's when the state's legislators tried to pass a bill that legally defined the value of pi as 3.2.
The very notion of legislatively changing a mathematical constant sounds so crazy that it just has to be an urban legend, right? Nope. As unbelievable as it sounds, a bill that would have effectively redefined pi as 3.2 came up before the Indiana legislature in 1897.
The story of the "Indiana pi bill" starts with Edward J. Goodwin, a Solitude, Indiana, physician who spent his free time dabbling in mathematics. Goodwin's pet obsession was an old problem known as squaring the circle. Since ancient times, mathematicians had theorized that there must be some way to calculate the area of a circle using only a compass and a straightedge. Mathematicians thought that with the help of these tools, they could construct a square that had the exact same area as the circle. Then all one would need to do to find the area of the circle was calculate the area of the square, a simple task.
Sounds like a neat trick. The only problem is that it's impossible to calculate the area of a circle in this way. It just won't work. Furthermore, when Goodwin was toying with this problem, mathematicians already knew it was impossible; Ferdinand von Lindemann had proven that the task was a fool's errand in 1882.
Goodwin wasn't going to let something trivial like the proven mathematical impossibility of his task deter his efforts, though. He persevered, and in 1894 he even convinced the upstart journal American Mathematical Monthly to print the proof in which he "solved" the squaring-the-circle problem. Goodwin's proof didn't explicitly deal with approximating pi, but when you're quite literally trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, weird things happen. One of the odd side effects of Goodwin's machinations was that the value of pi morphed into 3.2.
Let's Make a Deal
Although Goodwin's "proof" was anything but, he was pretty cocky about its infallibility. He didn't just publish his faulty method in journals; he copyrighted it. Goodwin figured everyone would be lining up to use his revolutionary new trick, and his plan was to collect royalties from businesses and mathematicians who sought to exploit his method.
Goodwin wasn't totally greedy, though, and that's where the Indiana legislature entered the picture. Goodwin couldn't bear the thought of Hoosier schoolchildren being deprived of the fruits of his brilliance just because the state couldn't foot the bill for his royalties. So he magnanimously offered to let the state use his masterpiece free of charge.
Indiana wasn't going to get such an awesome deal totally for free, though. The state could avoid paying royalties if and only if the legislature would accept and adopt this "new mathematical truth" as state law. Goodwin convinced Representative Taylor I. Record to introduce House Bill 246, which outlined both this bargain and the basics of his method.
Again, Goodwin's method and the accompanying bill never mention the word "pi," but on the topic of circles, it clearly states, "[T]he ratio of the diameter and circumference is as five-fourths to four." Yup, that ratio is 3.2. Goodwin isn't afraid to lambaste the old approximation of pi, either. The bill angrily condemns 3.14 as "wholly wanting and misleading in its practical applications."
Goodwin's blasting of the old approximation isn't even the funniest part of the bill's text. The third and final section extols his other mathematical breakthroughs, including solving the similarly impossible problems of angle trisection and doubling the cube, before reminding any reader who wasn't sufficiently awestruck at his magnificence, "And be it remembered that these noted problems had been long since given up by scientific bodies as insolvable mysteries and above man's ability to comprehend."
Math Problem
To anyone who passed the aforementioned high school geometry class, this bill was patently absurd. Apparently Indiana legislators weren't a pack of math whizzes, though. After the bill bounced around between committees, the Committee on Education finally sent it out for a vote, and the bill passed the House unanimously. No, not a single one of Indiana's 67 House members raised an eyebrow at a proof that effectively redefined pi as 3.2.
Luckily the state's senators had a bit more numerical acumen. Well, some of them did. Eventually. After sailing through the House, the bill first went to the Senate's Committee on Temperance, which also recommended that it pass. By this point, news of Indiana attempting to legislate a new value of pi and endorse an airtight solution to an unsolvable math problem had become national news, and papers all over the country were mocking the legislature's questionable calculations.
All this attention ended up working in Indiana's favor. While the state's lawmakers couldn't follow Goodwin's bizarre brand of mathe-magic well enough to refute his proof, there were other smart Hoosiers who could. Professor C.A. Waldo of Purdue University was in Indianapolis while the pi hoopla was unfolding, and after watching part of the debate at the statehouse he was so thoroughly horrified that he decided to intervene.
The legislators may have been nearly bamboozled by Goodwin's pseudo-math, but Waldo certainly wasn't. Waldo got the ear of a group of senators after watching the absurd debate and explained why Goodwin's theory was nonsense. (It seemed that most of the legislators didn't really understand what was going on in the bill; they just knew that by approving it the state would get to use a new theory for free.)
After receiving Waldo's coaching, the Senate realized that the new bill was a very, very bad idea. Senator Orrin Hubbel moved that a vote on the bill be postponed indefinitely, and Goodwin's new math died a quiet legislative death. The Indiana legislature hasn't tried to rewrite the basic principles of math in all the years since.

Youth Quake 2014 just around the corner
AJ Crocker knows it takes an entire village to pull off an event like Youth Quake (YQ).
The annual youth conference, set this year for February 14-16, takes place on the campus of Briercrest College and Seminary and enlists the help of hundreds of volunteers – about 250 of those are students.
"I love that we've been able to grow and been able to involve more students in different capacities," the YQ director said.
Students serve at YQ in a wide variety of areas from hospitality and tech crews to worship and dance teams. Most students host YQ guests in their dorm rooms. That adds up to a majority of students serving in some way.
This year's keynote speaker is Mark Clark, pastor of the Village Church in Surrey, BC.
"I'm excited for the depth that our speaker will bring," Crocker exclaimed. "He's going to be challenging both to students that are unfamiliar with the Bible and the church, but also very challenging to the students that are very familiar with Christianity."
The topics for the main session will focus on this year's theme of "Kingdom Citizens."
"We're talking about what the kingdom of God looks like," Crocker explained. "We're talking about what it means to serve King Jesus in that regard and then what it means for the Monday after YQ – what does it mean for us . . . to be actively functioning in this kingdom of God while we're here on earth?"
Crocker is also excited about the band lineup this year.
"I think our band lineup is among the better ones we've had," he said. "We'll have a number of options with Britt Nicole, Rocket Summer, Nine Lashes, and Kutless – many teenagers will have a blast with that."
Although the weekend will be full of youthful intensity, Crocker says there's a rhythm to all the planning and activity.
"We've had a number of successful years in terms of momentum and quality," he said. "Being able to build off the last five or six years in the culture that's been created is really fun. Our normal way of running Youth Quake now is really smooth and really exciting."
Even though Youth Quake is just a week away, registration is still open.
Crocker emphasized that registration includes food, lodging and activities.
"All you have to do is drive to Caronport and we'll take care of everything else."
Information about registration can be found at the YQ website: briercrest.ca/YQ.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
He's been charged by an elephant in Tanzania, chased by a machete-wielding mob in Costa Rica and carjacked in Ethiopia, but University of Utah assistant professor Cagan Sekercioglu insists he's not looking for trouble.
"I'm a risk-averse person. I do not actively search out risk," he said. "I want to see birds in as many places as possible. ... It just comes with the territory."
The conservation ecologist's Indiana Jones-like life has earned him a rare distinction: He's one of nine risk-takers to be featured in National Geographic, appearing in the May issue.
A native of Turkey educated at Harvard and Stanford universities, Sekercioglu has been at the U. since 2010. He's spent a large portion of his career in the field working all over the world but said one of his most dangerous assignments occurred in the remote Wrangell-St. Elias National Park in Alaska. He was studying the effect of the spruce beetle on forest birds and "the park was packed with grizzlies."
A member of the research team was mauled the week he arrived, after which the rest of the scientists were armed and on high alert. Sekercioglu had a handful of encounters with bears during the project, including one in which the animal looked to be coming right at him. Sekercioglu turned and reached for his gun. Another researcher shouted.
"I turn and I see the bear, but he's running away. He apparently did not realize we were there," he said. "I guess he was just a happy bear running through the forest."
Sekercioglu's risks, though, aren't just physical. He documents rapidly disappearing species and speaks out about conservation, including in his native Turkey. He's now working to prevent a proposed dam that would dry up the Aras River wetlands, home to 240 bird species.
Though his activism could hurt his relationship with the Turkish government and his ability to do research there he says some risks are worth taking.
"We simply cannot stand by as the government destroys it," he said. "If I don't take this risk, I cannot tell people to take it."

Pseudo-devices Supported by NetBSD
Pseudo-device drivers add enhanced features to real devices, or provide device-like interfaces to other subsystems. They come in two flavors: true pseudo-devices (as configured with the `pseudo-device' keyword in the kernel configuration file) and logical devices (which attach as children of real devices during the kernel's autoconfiguration phase).
Please note that these pages reflect the state of NetBSD-current. To check
the supported hardware list for a specific release of NetBSD, check
that release's installation notes.
If you are unsure, please boot a -current kernel or send mail to
- Concatenated disk driver (ccd(4)). This pseudo-device provides a method of combining multiple physical disk components into a single logical disk. The components are either serially concatenated or interleaved (a.k.a. striped, RAID-0). This is useful for combining many small components into a larger, more usable disk, or for enhancing performance on servers. For mirroring or parity, see the RAIDframe driver (raid(4)).
- Memory disk driver (md(4)). This pseudo-device provides a disk-like device in memory, i.e. a `RAM disk'. It has several modes of operation, including a mode which allows a kernel to mount an `injected' RAM disk as the root file system, useful for the install process.
- RAIDframe disk driver (raid(4)). This pseudo-device provides a RAID level 0, 1, 4, and 5 functionality. Allows combining multiple physical disk components into RAID sets.
- Random device driver (rnd(4)). This pseudo-device provides a source of random data (numbers). It has several modes of operation, and produces the random data by gathering entropy from physical devices on the system, and processing that entropy with a cryptographic hash function.
- Vnode disk driver (vnd(4)). This pseudo-device provides a disk-like interface to regular files. This is particularly useful for making or reading raw file system and disk images.
- Audio device driver (audio(4)). This driver provides a consistent interface to sound hardware, which is backwards-compatible with the SunOS audio interface. It provides several audio encodings, including ITU G.711 mu-law, ITU G.711 A-law, signed linear PCM, unsigned linear PCM, and adaptive differential PCM. Source-code level compatibility with OSS Audio (previously known as VoxWare) is provided by a user space library called libossaudio.a. Binary-level compatibility with OSS Audio is provided for programs running in the Linux emulation subsystem. The audio(4) driver also provides a mixer interface. It attaches to hardware devices that fall into the `Sound hardware' category of the supported hardware lists.
- Unified Workstation Console, WSCONS. This is a set of drivers which attach as logical children of various input and output devices on workstations, providing a consistent, event-oriented interface to the hardware, for easier application development. Drivers in the WSCONS suite include wsdisplay(4) (which attaches to display card drivers), wskbd(4) (which attaches to keyboard drivers), and wsmouse(4) (which attaches to mouse drivers). WSCONS provides virtual terminals, flexible terminal emulation (including Sun, VT100, and dumb terminal emulators), and flexible keyboard map support. WSCONS also provides emulation of the PCVT and SYSCONS console interfaces (legacy console drivers for 386BSD, NetBSD, and FreeBSD), raw keyboard compatibility, and compatibility with USL console ioctls, allowing legacy applications and programs for other systems to work (such as Doom on direct VGA). The WSCONS drivers are still under development.
- Bluetooth Hub (bthub(4)). This driver provides a way in which we can attach services on remote devices operating over Bluetooth links to system interfaces. Currently supported services include Human Interface Devices (bthidev(4)) such as mice (btms(4)) and keyboards (btkbd(4)) which attach to wscons(4), and SCO Audio (see btsco(4)) which attaches to audio(4) in a transparent manner.
