1996 Ford F150 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual 185000 miles
hi, ok lets get to it and see if you can figure this one out, just had a new clutch put in and 1 month after that I start my truck and as soon as it warms up it starts missing and tries to die, so I replace the spark plugs and wires on it and then the next day I am driving and it just dies on me so I crank it back up and go a little further and my speedometer hand goes all the way to max speed and all the odometer lights come and it dies so I take it to a autoparts store the guy has a computer that he hooks up to it and it reads a po0174 code so we look that up and it says my truck is running (lean) whatever that means. So he says I need to clean my maf sensor and clean the throttle body out and change the fuel filter so after clening and changing all that it still does it so then he tells me it may be a vacume leak so I check all vacume hoses and replace ones that look old and it now it has changed a little now when I drive it the speedometer handle will still jump all the way over and my abs light comes on and it tries to die please help
have the same problem?

Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe arrived in New Delhi yesterday to push for closer commercial and strategic ties with India, as Tokyo seeks to offset Beijing's growing regional might.
Since coming to power in 2012 Abe has trotted the globe, partly in his self-appointed role as salesman for Japan Inc., but also to seek counterweights to superpower China.
Abe, received at the airport by Indian government officials, told The Times of India daily in an interview published yesterday that he wants to "develop vigorously" economic and security cooperation with India.
Abe's trip comes as Japan and China are locked in a bitter territorial row over islands in the East China Sea that Asia's two largest economies both claim.
The Japanese prime minister urged Beijing on Friday to come to the table for "vital" summit talks, after being quoted as comparing current Japan-China relations with ties between Germany and Britain before the outbreak of World War One.
Abe told the Times of India the "security environment of the Asia-Pacific region is becoming ever more severe". Japan fears China is seeking to exert control over key shipping lanes around its vast coastline.
Japan and India, already carrying out joint maritime exercises, "play a vital role together for the security of sea lanes," Abe said.
India, which has its own simmering Himalayan border row with China that erupted into a brief, bloody war in 1962, has said all "regional issues" including tensions with Beijing would be discussed.
India too has been working to boost relations with Japan, Thailand, Vietnam and other Asian nations as it seeks to offset rival Beijing's rise.
"We hope the visit will lead to a deepening and strengthening of our strategic and global partnership," Indian foreign ministry spokesman Syed Akbaruddin said ahead of Abe's trip.
His visit follows the first official trip to India last month by Japan's emperor and empress, billed by New Delhi as a "landmark" goodwill symbol.
Abe will be "chief guest" at India's Republic Day parade today that showcases it's military might and cultural richness.

Staying Seaside: Top Tips for Enjoying a Family Vacation by the Ocean
Family Vacation by the ocean
Even the most resolutely beach-avoiding adults have to admit it—with children, the easiest way to have an enjoyable family vacation is to head for the sea. The beach has it all: sand that you can do amazing things with, water that moves in fascinating ways, rocks to climb on…and ice creams.
Stay Safe
The seaside is not without its risks, so in order to enjoy it, you need to be sure that your kids are safe.
- If they are old enough to understand the concept of danger, agree some ground rules appropriate to their ages. Fix a signal to use if they get into trouble in the water. Younger children should never be more than a few seconds' sprint away.
- The kids need to look out for each other. If it is agreed that they go off together somewhere, they must stick together and have a simple way of letting you know about problems.
- Talk to the lifeguards. They must get bored sometimes, so they should be happy to chat about the weather conditions, the state of tides, and danger points. Observe any warning flags.
- Understand about rip tides, how to spot them and how to deal with them. A lifeguard will be happy to advise you.
- Watch out for jellyfish. Some species have a dangerous sting which can immobilize people in the water.
Have Fun
The beach offers great opportunities for families to have fun together. Apart from the obvious entertainments such as beach baseball and building sandcastles, you are limited only by your imagination.
- On a sunny day, make a sundial with a long stick. Try to guess where the shadow will be on the hours and decorate these locations with objects found on the beach. Mark the point at which you will go for an ice cream.
- For older kids, have at least one day with a really big adventure. For instance, you might take them on an ocean fishing excursion. Equipped with Blue Water Candy lures, and with an experienced fisherman at the helm, you could come back with some awesome stories.
- Arrange a scavenger hunt. Each child gets a bucket and a list to things to search for and bring back. If you haven't got paper, they can bring back each item as they find it and get the next on the list.
- Make your own kite. You can find instructions online. It's probably a good idea to have a spare kite which actually works in case yours doesn't!
- Explore tidal pools. They are a fascinating microcosm of tiny life forms, which can give you lots to talk about.
Your idea of relaxing may be to read trashy novels, to sit around in bars, or to visit art galleries. That's fair enough, but these things may have to wait until you have the time to yourself. While you are with your kids, seaside vacations can be hard work, but the memories will stick with you (and them) for a lifetime.

Iran shut down Internet access to its oil terminals today following a cyber attack that is said to have begun on Sunday afternoon.
The Oil Ministry shut down Internet access to all of its oil facilities, operations, and rigs soon after finding the virus, dubbed "wiper", according to an anonymous Oil Ministry employee who spoke with The New York Times. According to this individual, Iran's oil production and exports were not affected.
The virus was responsible for some wiped hard drives within the ministry, appropriately earning its name. Related websites such as the National Iranian Oil Company and the National Iranian Gas Company were also shut down, according to the Times, though whether they were shut down by the virus or the Ministry remains unclear.
This virus isn't the first of its kind to hit Iranian infrastructure. In 2010, a virus called Stuxnet affected Iran's nuclear program by attacking its control system called SCADA or supervisory control and data acquisition. The SCADA system controls various processes (both hardware and software oriented) within the nuclear program, including those responsible for creating fuel for potential nuclear weapons.
"Attacks on critical infrastructure are more common than many think," said McAfee security director Brian Contos in an e-mail to VentureBeat, "Because of a lack of disclosure in these industries, many incidents ranging from sabotage and intellectual property theft to extortion go unreported."
Other SCADA systems, including those on U.S. soil are flagged as being vulnerable to cyber attack. John Strauchs, who owns a security consulting firm, flagged prison doors controlled by SCADA systems as a potential target. He came to the conclusion soon after receiving a call about a prison's death-row doors popping open. In that case, the doors were triggered by a faulty wire.

Perhaps I haven't been clear enough; the question is: - exec_elf32 is a module, and is enabled with EXEC_ELF32 (#define). - exec_elf32 (module) is dormant on 64bit systems. - linux32 and netbsd32 *don't need* exec_elf32 (module), but need EXEC_ELF32 (#define). - my plan is to keep EXEC_ELF32 defined on 64bit systems, but to disable exec_elf32 (module). - Problem: linux32 has exec_elf32 (module) as dependency. - Question: do I remove this dependency, given the fact that netbsd32 too does not have it?

Top talk
His old back garden at Barleywood was shared with millions of viewers every week when he was the frontman on BBC Gardeners' World – but it's taken 10 years for Alan Titchmarsh to finally reveal his current garden to fans.
A decade after moving a stone's throw from Barleywood to his current Hampshire home, a large Georgian farmhouse set in four acres, he finally feels ready to let the public see how he has transformed the garden through the pages of his new book, My Secret Garden.
"It's difficult when you've done a garden like this to keep it to yourself," he says.
"I didn't want to open it up and have the pressure of folk coming in but people kept saying, 'Do you bother with your garden now it's not on the telly?'. Well, this is proof that I do."
Years of hard labour have gone into achieving his private paradise, which features a mass of decorative borders, a wildflower meadow, a hornbeam avenue and a wildlife pond, and these days he has just two people to help him.
Between them, they also maintain the 35 acres of meadow and woodland which he retained after selling Barleywood, which he turned into a nature reserve.
"I'll never let the TV cameras into my private garden," he says now.
"I would never go to Alison (his wife) and say, 'Look, can we just do one programme?' because we made the decision not to. I'm blissfully happy being there on my own with the family."
It's amazing that he can fit any gardening into his hectic work schedule of TV presenting and writing.
"I have to," he shrugs.
"If I don't go out there and potter several times a week, I get ratty. There's quite a bit of mowing to do but I like the therapy of mowing.
"When I grew up my mum and dad had a tiny back garden up in Yorkshire and then when I first got married and lived in Berkshire we had a 15ft by 40ft strip behind the house. So I know how lucky I am in having more space."
His book features various parts of his garden through the different seasons.
"I love May when everything's come out," he confides. "The leaves are all fresh, un-sullied and un-battered by wind and the first of the blossom's coming out."
He says that "almost weekly" he thinks of cutting down on his TV commitments to enable him to spend more time in his garden.
"It may well happen over the next two or three years. I've been on telly an awful lot. I very much enjoy being at home and the reason I don't do big travelogue series where I go away for two or three months is because I couldn't bear to leave the plot.
"Sitting in my garden, looking out, it reassures me that in the great scheme of things, life goes on, the seasons are all-powerful and we, in a way, are governed by nature and we should respect it and work with it."
My Secret Garden by Alan Titchmarsh is published by BBC Books, £25
My week
I thoroughly enjoyed speaking to The Usk Conservation and Environmental Group.
It reminded me of an advert Buckingham Palace put in a horticultural publication advertising a gardening vacancy for someone with good "conversation" skills; the typing error left applicants thinking they would be following Prince Charles' example of talking to the plants.
Whilst taking a break from leaf-blowing one day last week, I heard Welsh journalist John Humphrys (pictured right) talking to Jeremy Vine on Radio Two. He was explaining that he had fallen foul of his local council for "liberating the odd bag of fallen leaves" that the council had left for roadside collection.
John has apparently added these leaves to his compost heap for years.
Challenged by the council, he magnanimously explained that as some of the leaves had fallen from his trees they were in fact his, but that the council was welcome to search through his compost heap to retrieve their own!
Fair point John.
On another note, Allbutt's Almanac 2013 has finally gone to print and will be available soon.
More Christmas presents presence
As we edge closer to the season to be jolly, here's another great Christmas present idea for the fun-guy in your life – a grow your own mushroom kit.
Fungi Futures make the UK's first and only gourmet mushroom grow kit that grows from recycled coffee grounds.
They collect hundreds of kilos of spent coffee grounds each week and mix them by hand with their own-grown quality mushroom spawn to create the simplest, and in my opinion, most reliable mushroom grow kit around.
Simply open, mist and harvest; the first crop is ready within 14 days.
The kit is £12.95 from www.fungi-futures.co.uk
So far the most indulgent present I have seen has to be the log and kindling chopping block, made to order from www.notonthehighstreet.com for a whopping £340.
C'mon guys, you can get a couple of tons of firewood for that price – no chopping required!
Can you be-leaf it?
The fallen leaves of one large deciduous tree can be worth as much as £25 of plant food and humus.
Pound for pound, the leaves of most trees contain twice as many minerals as manure.
For example, the mineral content of a maple leaf is more than 5%, while even common pine needles have 2.5% of their weight in calcium, magnesium, nitrogen and phosphorus, plus other trace elements.
Since most trees are deep-rooted, they absorb minerals from deep in the soil and a good portion of these minerals go into the leaves.
The humus-building qualities of leaf mould will improve the structure of all soil types by aerating heavy clay soils and prevent sandy soils from drying out too fast by soaking up rainfall.
And as a wise old gardener put it, "This autumn we can look forward to falling leaves and rising fuel prices. So, we'll be raking them up while the oil companies are raking it in."

This was a student project back in 2010. I wanted to show you can build furniture with screws just as effectively as with dowels or tennons. Sure there are some dovetails in the drawers and mortice and tennons in the doors, but mostly this piece is screwed and glued together.

The Importance of Humidity
Many homeowners do not understand just how important the amount of humidity in their homes can be. The amount of moisture in the air can dictate how the inhabitants of a home may feel or even allow for certain unwanted organisms to grow within the home. However, maintaining humidity levels may be the last thing on your mind, especially if you are busy keeping your air conditioner, roof and gutters maintained. Regardless, adding the maintenance of humidity levels could greatly improve the way that you feel while hanging out at home.
Dealing with Dry Air
You may find that you suffer from dry sinuses, dry skin and chapped lips during the winter time or when the air becomes particularly dry during the summer. Dry indoor air can cause a person to suffer from nosebleeds, headaches and other associated illnesses.
The main way to increase the humidity level within the home is to purchase a humidifier. There are several different types of humidifiers available, including:
- Install a Central Humidifier: These humidifiers are included as part of the home's HVAC system and are designed to raise humidity levels throughout the home.
- Impellar Humidifiers: These humidifiers have a rotating disk installed that produces a cool mist.
- Steam Vaporizers: Electricity is used to create a cooling steam that is then released into the air. Because this device involves hot water, it is not recommended for households that have children or pets.
- Ultrasonic Humidifiers: These devices use an ultrasonic vibration to produce a mist that increases humidity levels.
- Evaporators: Air is blown through a wet material, which could be a wet filter, belt or wick.
Dealing with Damp Air
High humidity levels often becomes a problem during the summer time. Occupants who suffer from certain allergies may be more likely to suffer from respiratory problems or even asthma flare-ups. Further, dust mites, molds and bacteria can also grow within the home if the humidity levels are high enough.
There are several things that you can do to lower the humidity levels within the home:
- Purchase a Dehumidifier: Dehumidifiers suck the excessive moisture from the air and collect it in a reservoir.
- Install a Permanent Dehumidifier
- Run the Air Conditioner: When air is forced through the air conditioner, the air is not only cooled but dried.
What are the Ideal Humidity Levels?
In general, humidity refers to the amount of moisture in the air. If the home does not have proper ventilation, the indoor air can become stale and dry. However, if too much moisture is added to the indoor air, the occupants of the home could also suffer from symptoms associated with the flu while the growth of harmful bacteria and other organic contaminants may be assisted.
The Mayo Clinic recommends that homeowners keep their indoor humidity levels between 30 and 50 percent. If you or another occupant suffer from allergies, it is recommended that you speak to your doctor about what humidity levels would be right for you.
How do I Measure My Home's Humidity Levels?
The device used to test humidity levels is called a hygrometer, which resembles a thermometer. While these devices can be purchased at any of your local hardware stores, many humidifiers also come equipped with a hygrometer to help keep indoor humidity at a healthy level. Hydrometers come in both analog forms and digital forms, both of which are simple to use and allow you to better control the conditions within your home.

Often-used commands can be abbreviated with an alias:
% alias uc=uncompress % ls hanoi.Z % uc hanoi % ls hanoi
or commands with certain desired options:
% alias fm='finger -m' % fm root Login name: root In real life: Operator Directory: / Shell: /bin/csh On since May 19 10:41:15 on console 3 days 5 hours Idle Time No unread mail No Plan. % alias lock='lock -p -60000' % lock lock: /dev/ttyr4 on phoenix. timeout in 60000 minutes time now is Fri May 24 04:23:18 EDT 1991 Key: % alias l='ls -AF' % l / .bash_history kadb* .bashrc lib@ .cshrc licensed/ .exrc lost+found/ .login macsyma ...
Aliases can also be used to replace old commands:
% alias grep=egrep ps=sps make=gmake % alias whoami='echo root' % whoami root
or to define new ones:
% cd / % alias sz='ls -l | sort -n +3 | tail -10' % sz drwxr-sr-x 7 bin 3072 May 23 11:59 etc drwxrwxrwx 26 root 5120 May 24 04:20 tmp drwxr-xr-x 2 root 8192 Dec 26 19:34 lost+found drwxr-sr-x 2 bin 14848 May 23 18:48 dev -r--r--r-- 1 root 140520 Dec 26 20:08 boot -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 311172 Dec 26 20:08 kadb -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 1209695 Apr 16 15:33 vmunix.old -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 1209702 May 14 19:04 vmunix -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 1209758 May 21 12:23 vmunix.new.kernelmap.old -rwxr-xr-x 1 root 1711848 Dec 26 20:08 vmunix.org % cd % alias rable='ls -AFtrd *(R)' nrable='ls -AFtrd *(^R)' % rable README func/ bin/ pub/ News/ src/ nicecolors etc/ scr/ tmp/ iris/ zsh* % nrable Mailboxes/ mail/ notes
(The pattern
*(R) matches all readable files in the current
directory, and
*(^R) matches all unreadable files.)
Most other shells have aliases of this kind (command aliases). However, zsh also has global aliases, which are substituted anywhere on a line. Global aliases can be used to abbreviate frequently-typed usernames, hostnames, etc.
% alias -g me=pfalstad gun=egsirer mjm=maruchck % who | grep me pfalstad ttyp0 May 24 03:39 (mickey.Princeton) pfalstad ttyp5 May 24 03:42 (mickey.Princeton) % fm gun Login name: egsirer In real life: Emin Gun Sirer Directory: /u/egsirer Shell: /bin/sh Last login Thu May 23 19:05 on ttyq3 from bow.Princeton.ED New mail received Fri May 24 02:30:28 1991; unread since Fri May 24 02:30:27 1991 % alias -g phx=phoenix.princeton.edu warc=wuarchive.wustl.edu % ftp warc Connected to wuarchive.wustl.edu.
Here are some more interesting uses.
% alias -g M='| more' GF='| fgrep -f ~/.friends' % who M # pipes the output of
more% who GF # see if your friends are on % w GF # see what your friends are doing
Another example makes use of zsh's process substitution. If you run NIS, and you miss being able to do this:
% grep pfalstad /etc/passwd
you can define an alias that will seem more natural than
pfalstad passwd:
% alias -g PASS='<(ypcat passwd)' % grep pfalstad PASS pfalstad:*:3564:35:Paul John Falstad:/u/pfalstad:/usr/princeton/bin/zsh
If you're really crazy, you can even call it
% alias -g /etc/passwd='<(ypcat passwd)' % grep pfalstad /etc/passwd pfalstad:*:3564:35:Paul John Falstad:/u/pfalstad:/usr/princeton/bin/zsh
The last example shows one of the perils of global aliases; they have a
lot of potential to cause confusion. For example, if you defined a
global alias called
| (which is possible), zsh would begin to act
very strangely; every pipe symbol would be replaced with the text of
your alias. To some extent, global aliases are like macros in C;
discretion is advised in using them and in choosing names for them.
Using names in all caps is not a bad idea, especially for aliases which
introduce shell metasyntax (like
M and
GF above).
Note that zsh aliases are not like csh aliases. The syntax for defining them is different, and they do not have arguments. All your favorite csh aliases will probably not work under zsh. For example, if you try:
alias rm mv '\!* /tmp/wastebasket'
no aliases will be defined, but zsh will not report an error. In csh,
this line defines an alias that makes
rm safe--files that are
rm'd will be moved to a temporary directory instead of instantly
destroyed. In zsh's syntax, however, this line asks the shell to print
any existing alias definitions for
mv, or
/tmp/wastebasket. Since there are none, most likely, the shell will
not print anything, although
alias will return a nonzero exit
code. The proper syntax is this:
alias rm='mv \!* /tmp/wastebasket'
However, this won't work either:
% rm foo.dvi zsh: no matches found: !*
While this makes
rm safe, it is certainly not what the user
intended. In zsh, you must use a shell function for this:
% unalias rm % rm () { mv $* /tmp/wastebasket } % rm foo.dvi % ls /tmp/wastebasket foo.dvi
While this is much cleaner and easier to read (I hope you will agree), it is not csh-compatible. Therefore, a script to convert csh aliases and variables has been provided. You should only need to use it once, to convert all your csh aliases and parameters to zsh format:
% csh csh> alias l ls -AF more less on last -2 !:1 ; who | grep !:1 csh> exit % c2z >neat_zsh_aliases % cat neat_zsh_aliases alias l='ls -AF' alias more='less' on () { last -2 $1 ; who | grep $1 } ...
The first two aliases were converted to regular zsh aliases, while the
third, since it needed to handle arguments, was converted to a function.
c2z can convert most aliases to zsh format without any problems.
However, if you're using some really arcane csh tricks, or if you have
an alias with a name like
do (which is reserved in zsh), you may
have to fix some of the aliases by hand.
c2z script checks your csh setup, and produces a list
of zsh commands which replicate your aliases and parameter settings
as closely as possible. You could include its output in your
startup file, `.zshrc'.

What Are Small Cap Stocks?
The "cap" abbreviation in the term small cap refers to market capitalization, or its total shareholder value.
More Info: Although the definition of a small market capitalization varies from brokerage to brokerage, the generally agreed upon range is between $300 million and $2 billion.
There are a number of different stock market sub-indexes that list small cap stocks: the MSCI US Small Cap 1750, the Standard & Poor's (S&P) Smallcap 600 and the Russell 2000. In each case, the average market cap size of the companies listed is different. For MSCI, the average is $1.3 million; for S&P, it is $938 million; and for Russell, it is $857 million. These averages fluctuate depending on the daily overall state of the stock markets.
The Most Influential Small Cap Listings
One of the most influential listings of small cap companies appears each fall, courtesy of Forbes Magazine's Top 100 Small Companies ranking. In the fall of 2010, the publication focused on companies with sales of $1 billion or more, and a minimum stock price of five dollars. As soon as the listing comes out, other small cap watchers filter the information through their various evaluation and information systems, re-ranking the Forbes picks in order of how they see the stocks likely to perform over the next 12 months. The disparity between a Forbes small company ranking and a handicapper's final placement of that same firm's stock can be substantial. For example, on the fall 2010 compilation, Pre-Paid Legal Services is ranked 78th on the Forbes list. But after running it through filters related to earnings and adjusted gross income, one analyst placed that same company as the second best bet out of the 100 Forbes ranked companies in terms of immediate, likely small cap stock performance. As with micro, mid and large cap companies, there is a limitless number of formulas being applied by investors to try and gain the edge.

Let me start with the most important thing. I'm a simple, happy guy who lives a simple life and runs a simple business (well, reasonably simple). I hate stress and honestly, I don't handle it very well so everything I do and teach is premised on simplicity.
Now if you're an entrepreneur who has ever felt, "I'm way too smart to be working so much and making so little!" or "I'm really good at what I do but I suck at marketing!" or "I really wish things were simpler!" then there's a pretty good chance you'll benefit from being here.
When I talk about business and marketing it's always in the context of a "lifestyle business." That means freedom of time and freedom of location.
None of this is about the fancy cars, the big house or designer brands. It's about building a simple business that allows you to live a happy, stress-free (fine, "reasonably" stress-free) life.
Now if you're thinking about working with me, you've gotta be willing to challenge "conventional" thinking. You've gotta be willing to question everything! (yes, even my stuff)
It's so easy to be engulfed by the "noise" that we MUST take the time to ask, "Hey, does this even make sense?" When someone says, "Life is short." ask them, "What do you have that's longer than life?" When someone says you need to have an elevator pitch, ask them, "Do you know the only thing more boring than giving an elevator pitch? Listening to one!"
When someone says, "You're not allowed to do that." Assuming it's not illegal of course, you can decide whether to ask for permission, to ask for forgiveness or to not ask for either and just do it! So when I say, "question everything" all I'm saying is to take a minute and THINK.
Now as far as my background goes, I've been running my own law practice since 2001. After about 2 years of being on my own I was still making under $30K a year and working over 60 hours a week.
But I continued to work my ass off and yes, I kept making more and more money. But it just never seemed fast enough not to mention the hours got longer and longer.
So in 2006 I decided something had to change. I stopped doing what every other lawyer was doing and started learning about marketing, outsourcing, automation, systematization and my personal favorite, human psychology!
Within a few months (okay fine, a few years) I had created a business where I was working under 20 hours a week and making well over $100K a year! But in less than 12-months of that, I was under 5 hours a week and making even more.
In 2008 I wrote a book for lawyers titled, "How to Make Over $100,000 a Year Working Under 20 Hours a Week" and started teaching other solo attorneys to build their own lifestyle law practices.
Since I wrote the book, I matured a bit . . . sorta 😉
When I started teaching I really thought it was all about the money. But the more I taught, and learned, I discovered this was about freedom. Freedom of time and equally important, the elimination of stress. Money is not the goal . . . it's the tool to achieve that freedom.
And yes, I still own and own and operate my law practice and I teach solo experts and professionals (who are incredibly good at what they do but suck at marketing) how to build a SIMPLE, lifestyle business that gives them the freedom I talked about earlier.
At a personal level, I enjoy working with intelligent, progressive people who are doing well, striving to get better and are are interested in creating the "lifestyle" business I'm talking about.
I am married to a amazing woman, Karina (there she is) and had our first child in 2016.
I've been vegetarian since October 2012 and heading toward becoming a vegan (let's see how that works out). I'm also a big fitness guy (working out with kettlebells and mountain biking particularly float my boat).
Finally, nothing is more enjoyable for me than dinner out with good friends and great conversation. Throw in a beer or whiskey for good measure!
I'm not a people-pleaser. I'm a down-to-earth guy and will always (maybe too often) give you a straightforward answer along with a dose of tough-love ("love" being the operative word).
I'm one of the most nurturing alpha males you'll ever meet. Think of me as an asshole with a good heart. 😉
I don't subscribe to the school of thought that requires me to be overly polite, politically correct or bend over backwards for people who could care less about me.
Finally, as you know, I question everything. Even more so as I get older. If anything, I wish I had started doing this earlier in life. One of my favorite questions is, "What if this simply wasn't true?"
Too many people live in a world of scarcity where they believe they need to grab their share of the pie before someone else does. That's not me or the people I work with.
I live in a world where there are more than enough pies to go around and if someone gets a piece before you, that piece was meant for them. Yours is waiting and will be better than the one you missed.
Welcome to my world!

Victim's father accuses police of conspiracy
SCHOOL MISTRESS, Violet
Enu, 27 years, who was arrested
and granted bail by the police
in Lagos for allegedly defiling
a four-year-old female pupil of
Light Bearers Private School, has
reportedly absconded.
The mistress of the school,
located at Isashi area of the state,
was alleged to have defiled one of
her pupils penultimate Thursday,
but fled along with her surety
after the case was transferred from
Badagry Magistrate's Court to
Apapa Family Court on Tuesday.
According to report, the
suspected was discovered to
have absconded on Wednesday
when the parents of the victim
reported at the police station on
Wednesday, Enu did not turn up.
All attempts by the police to trace
the suspect, who lives at Ogbeni
Achike Street, Isashi, Iba Council
Development Area, was in vain.
Nigerian Pilot Saturday learnt
that the victim's elder brother,
who also attends the same school,
was sent home and prevented
from attending the school's extramoral
classes on Tuesday because
of the incident.
According to the victim's father,
Chief Martins, "in a bid to create an
avenue for the suspect to escape,
the police referred the case to
Badagry Magistrate's Court, when
they knew that cases bordering on
defilement are usually heard at
family court, otherwise how will
a division not know that Badagry
Magistrate's Court does not treat
defilement cases?
"We came back from Badagry
Magistrate's Court at about
5p.m. on Tuesday, yet the police
connived with the suspect to
escape, he said, asserting that
the police have been persuading
him to settle out of court without
actually investigating the case.
"They are sending different
lawyers to plead with me. Why are
they attempting to deny my fouryear-
old girl justice?," he queried
and appealed to the Inspector
General of Police, Solomon Arase,
and Lagos State Commissioner of
Police, Owoseni Fatai, to please
intervene in the case

Ohio grandmother Jackie Sheaks thought it would be humorous and creative to post pictures on Facebook of her 2-month-old granddaughter with a pacifier duct-taped into her mouth and another of the baby in a roasting pan surrounded by vegetables. But no one is laughing. Particularly the local officers and children's services representatives who have made several calls and visits to the house to investigate since the images went viral. We're hoping this is a hoax like the whole KFC debacle.
The baby's mother Kristin Spriggs defended her mother's actions, saying that her older sister died in an accident about a year ago and the family did the "silly" photo shoot with the baby "out of love and as a stress reliever." I'm not buying it. Out of stupidity, rather.
First, can we discuss how creepy the picture is of the baby with the duct tape on her face? The poor thing looks like a miniature Hannibal Lecter. And though Sheaks says they only had "a little tape" on the baby's face for the time it took to take the photo, can you imagine the pain that poor baby felt on her fresh little cheeks when they took that "little tape" off? Duct tape hurts, yo. I've had my experience taping my boobs up for show, and I'm not going back down that road for anything.
And what happens if the baby ever comes across those photos as an older child or even as an adult? The words "scarred for life" come to mind. That is the fodder that makes kids socially awkward. All I can say is I hope that baby has the same sense of humor as her bizarre family.
Though originally laughing off the incident as a joke, Sheaks is now complaining that the backlash has "been a big toll on the family [and] we almost feel like we have to relocate. We're not horrible people that they are making us out to be."
Perhaps not. But the family should have been wise enough not to post pictures like that on a social network full of people that would simply not get the joke. Sheaks says she's learned her lesson and won't be doing anything like that again. We're hoping she can get some inspiration from the likes of Anne Geddes the next time she wants to pose her grandbaby for a photo shoot.

The Vikings are blowing it. Revenue is walking right out the door in very un-NFL fashion.
The Vikings will unveil their new uniforms during their draft party on Thursday, April 25. Yeah, you heard me. The whole uniform. Instead of stretching it out for weeks, or at least several days — like the draft itself — the Vikings are just going to put the uniform out there for the world to see. And for free, too! Well, with a ticket to the draft party, anyway.
There's no word whether the NFL is considering a fine. The proper way to unveil a new NFL uniform is to start with, say, the jock strap on Thursday night. Then reveal the updated sanitary sock on Friday. On Saturday, maybe a wrist band. All the while charging separate admission for the viewing, of course. And selling hot dogs and watered down light beer.
By the time the actual jerseys are displayed, Twin Cities TV cameras would have been whirring almost nonstop for a couple of weeks. The pros and cons of each article of clothing would have been breathlessly debated. And concession revenues would have been maximized. Maybe Zygi could even have run a pull-tab booth in a side room.
Oh sure, you're thinking, nobody is that greedy. Well think again. Because greed might cost the Vikings a playoff spot this season. We've seen the schedule now; it's a bit tougher than last year's. What I've heard people saying is: 9-7. That might be a bit optimistic but, hey, maybe. Give the Vikings the benefit of the doubt based on last year's surprise showing.
Either way, the Vikings, like many NFL teams, are going to make or miss the postseason by a slim margin. There's always all that playoff congestion around 8-8, 9-7. Yet in order to pocket a few more dollars, the Vikings are forfeiting a home game and the tremendous advantage that goes with it. All for a few pound sterling.
The Vikings' "home game" in London is a kick in the head to the people of Minnesota, who are coughing up to help fund a new stadium. It's giving up a game at the Metrodome, where the team has had tremendous success, in exchange for what amounts to neutral turf. And it's a hardship to the players, who have to get acclimated to a six-hour time change.
All this game does is line the owners' pockets. That business about promoting the NFL abroad? As Bob Dylan said, patriotism is the scoundrel's last refuge. This game is an automatic sellout. The league should have sent a couple of slug teams that have trouble drawing fans. They could use the bigger gate.
Perhaps the Vikings will beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in London. In any event, they would have a much better chance of beating them at the Metrodome. Worst-case scenario is that they lose overseas and then miss out on the playoffs by one game — a game that should have featured home-field advantage.
There is nothing noble about this. Despite the team/league spin, this is about chasing cash all the way across the ocean. And I have to laugh when the Vikings insist there isn't a lot of extra money involved. Not only is that not true, it's a terrible thing to say. So they're dumping a home game and the local fans just for the heck of it?
Unveiling the new uniforms will make draft night more interesting. It seems a lot of folks are sure the Vikings will wind up with defensive tackle Sylvester Williams out of North Carolina and linebacker Manti Te'o out of Notre Dame with their two first-round picks. Braving the anarchy and confusion of the Internet, I found that was the clear consensus.
That last one worries me for two reasons: First, Te'o might try to arrive here in an imaginary airplane, which always upsets the Federal Aviation Administration. But most important, he's come across as a really weird fellow. And weirdness in college usually translates to weirdness in the pros. (See Percy Harvin.) Another name mentioned as a potential Viking, although not quite as often, is wide receiver Keenan Allen out of Cal.
They're all talented guys. So enjoy the draft and enjoy the new uniforms. Try not to think about London. It's too irritating.

From [HERE] White people at Eastern Kentucky University havecirculated flyers in campus buildings frequented by police and firefighting trainees. The flyers claim that the "war declared against whites" in the form of "anti-racist" campaigns amounts to genocide: "[t]he method used is forced assimilation and massive immigration; exactly what China did to Tibet."
According to the flyers, immigrants are not to blame, as they are "just the crates of guns in this non-violent genocide against white people."
An African-American professor told WEKU that she believes she is the target of the flyers, but the university would not confirm her suspicions. "At this point, no one has information leading to any suspects, so it would be premature for us to guess as to who or which group was responsible," said university spokesperson Marc Whitt.
Whitt also contradicted this professor's claim that she has repeatedly complained of racially based harassment.
The white supremacy system is a behavioral power system structured for white genetic survival. [MORE]. White people's behavior in all areas of people activity (economics, education, entertainment, labour, law, politics, religion, sex and war) is motivated by their fear of genetic annihilation. White supremacy domination and oppression of all non-white people is essential for white global genetic survival.
Many White people fear their extinction and practice racism to survive.
- White people suffer from numerical inadequacy (they are vastly outnumbered, 90% of the world is non-white. The white population is rapidly declining. Indeed, if white people had not created such a global system in which they established power over the world's non-white majority, the white collective would have been genetically extinct a long time ago [MORE]) and;
- Color deficiency (people of color always will have something highly visible that whites never can have or produce — the genetic factor of color. Always, in the presence of color, whites will feel genetically inferior [MORE]) and
- they are genetic recessive (white genes or the "white race" cannot be reproduced when mixed with non-white persons. As stated by Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, "white can be genetically annihilated. White plus Black equals Colored. White plus Brown equals Colored. White plus Yellow equals Colored.")
- And despite all evidence to the contrary ('I and I would never try to live that way') white people fear that non-whites would oppress them if they ever had the chance.
According to Frances Cress Welsing: "this global white collective maintains a different appearance from the rest of humankind, and they dislike this difference. Therefore, they tan and use makeup. They remain a minority of the world's people, surrounded globally by a black, brown, red and yellow global majority. The white global collective remains genetically recessive to the black, brown, red and yellow global majority and lives each day and each minute of every hour in the continuous fear of white annihilation by the global majority of genetic dominants.

Insulin is a major metabolism regulating hormone secreted by β-cells of the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas. The major function of insulin is to counter the concerted actions of a number of hyperglycemia-generating hormones and to maintain low blood glucose levels. In addition to its role in regulating glucose metabolism, insulin stimulates lipogenesis, diminishes lipolysis, and increases amino acid transport into cells. Because there are numerous hyperglycemic hormones, untreated disorders associated with insulin generally lead to severe hyperglycemia and shortened life span.
Insulin also exerts activities typically associated with growth factors. Insulin is a member of a family of structurally and functionally similar molecules that includes the insulin-like growth factors (IGF-1 and IGF-2), and relaxin. The tertiary structure of all four molecules is similar, and all have growth-promoting activities. Insulin modulates transcription and stimulates protein translocation, cell growth, DNA synthesis, and cell replication, effects that it holds in common with the insulin-like growth factors and relaxin.back to the top
Insulin is synthesized, from the INS gene, as a preprohormone in the β-cells of the islets of Langerhans. The INS gene is located on chromosome 11p15.5 and is composed of 3 exons that generate four alternatively spliced mRNAs, all of which encode the same 110 amino acid preproprotein. The signal peptide of preproinsulin is removed in the cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum. The insulin proprotein is packaged into secretory vesicles in the Golgi, folded into its native structure, and locked in this conformation by the formation of two disulfide bonds. Specific protease activity cleaves the center third of the molecule, which dissociates as C peptide, leaving the amino terminal B peptide disulfide bonded to the carboxy terminal A peptide.
Insulin secretion from β-cells is principally regulated by plasma glucose levels. Increased uptake of glucose by pancreatic β-cells leads to a concomitant increase in metabolism. The increase in metabolism leads to an elevation in the ATP/ADP ratio. This in turn leads to the inhibition of an ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP channel). The net result is a depolarization of the cell leading to Ca2+ influx and insulin secretion.
Although glucose is the major fuel whose oxidation leads to energy-coupled insulin secretion there are other means for stimulated insulin secretion. One important process is referred to as the pyruvate cycle and involves coupling of amino acid metabolism to insulin secretion. The insulin secreting β-cells, in contrast to the liver, do not express the gluconeogenic enzyme phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) but do express robust levels of the gluconeogenic enzyme pyruvate carboxylase (PC). Coupled with the activity of PC is the activity of malic enzyme which together, is the only means for pyruvate cycling in β-cells. Cytoplasmic malic enzyme plays an important role in acetyl-CoA transport from the mitochondria to the cytosol for its use in lipid biosynthesis. Human cells express both cytoplasmic and mitochondrial versions of malic enzyme. The role of the mitochondrial malic enzyme is principally to provide the cell with an alternate source of pyruvate under conditions where glycolytic flux in reduced. In these circumstances, the pyruvate generated by the actions of mitochondrial malic enzyme comes from fumarate precursors such as glutamine. When glutamine is de-aminated by glutaminase the resulting glutamate can also be de-aminated by glutamate dehydrogenase yielding 2-oxoglutarate (α-ketoglutarate) which can then be shunted to malate synthesis in the TCA cycle. The malate can then be decarboxylated to pyruvate via mitochondrial malic enzyme. The pyruvate can then be decarboxylated by the PDHc and the resulting acetyl-CoA can enter the TCA cycle ultimately allowing for glutamine carbons to be oxidized for ATP synthesis. Within β-cells of the pancreas, this process, driven by mitochondrial malic enzyme serves as an important means for the use of amino acid carbon oxidation for the stimulated secretion of insulin. Indeed, this process is energetically equal to glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS).
The KATP channel is a complex of 8 polypeptides comprising four copies of the protein encoded by the ABCC8 (ATP-binding cassette, sub-family C, member 8) gene and four copies of the protein encoded by the KCNJ11 (potassium inwardly-rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 11) gene. The ABCC8 encoded protein is also known as the sulfonylurea receptor (SUR). The KCNJ11 encoded protein forms the core of the KATP channel and is called Kir6.2. The KCNJ11 gene is located on chromosome 11p15.1 and is composed of 3 exons that generate two alternatively spliced mRNAs encoding two protein isoforms (isoform 1 is 390 amino acids and isoform 2 is 303 amino acids). Mutations in the KCNJ11 gene are associated with transient neonatal diabetes mellitus type 3 (TNDM3), permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus (PNDM) familial persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (PHHI), and also contributes to an autosomal dominant form of diabetes termed non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type II. The ABCC8 gene is also located on chromosome 11p15.1 and is composed of 39 exons that generate two alternatively spliced mRNAs encoding two protein isoforms (isoform 1 is 1582 amino acids and isoform 2 is 1581 amino acids). Mutations in the ABCC8 gene are also associated with the autosomal dominant form of diabetes termed non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type II and with an autosomal recessive disorder termed hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy. As might be expected, the role of KATP channels in insulin secretion presents a viable therapeutic target for treating hyperglycemia due to insulin insufficiency as is typical in type 2 diabetes.
Chronic increases in numerous other hormones, such as growth hormone, placental lactogen, estrogens, and progestins, up-regulate insulin secretion, probably by increasing the preproinsulin mRNA and enzymes involved in processing the increased preprohormone.
Mechanism of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, GSIS. Increased blood glucose results in uptake by pancreatic β-cells through GLUT2. The glucose is oxidized to pyruvate via glycolysis. The pyruvate is oxidized by the PDHc and the resulting acetyl-CoA is oxidized in the TCA cycle. The resulting NADH and FADH2 are oxidized via the oxidative phosphorylation machinery resulting in increased ATP levels. The increased ATP inhibits the KATP channel resulting in membrane depolarization leading to an influx of Ca2+ ions triggering migration of insulin-containing vesicle to the plasma membrane releasing the insulin to the blood.

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman met with reporters today and held a postseason press conference. Here are some highlights:
- It was Cashman's decision, not Joe Girardi's, to fire pitching coach Dave Eiland and that it had nothing to do with the playoffs.
- Andy Pettitte and Phil Hughes were swapped in the ALCS rotation because of Pettitte's injuries.
- Cashman will meet with Girardi's agent tomorrow.
- Cashman is also looking for quick resolutions with Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera.
- It doesn't sound like Joba Chamberlain will be in the rotation in 2011. Girardi said, ""We consider him a bullpen guy in the back end of the bullpen."
- Jesus Montero will have to fight for a roster spot, but the Yankees will give him a chance.
- Girardi also talked about the difficulty of dealing with aging icons and said that the team looked old against Texas.
We already covered some of this throughout the day, but I wanted to put it all out there so nothing was missed. I think the most interesting revelations was the Pettitte injuries and the fact that it seems like the Yankees are counting on Montero to contribute next season.

By fifth grade, children are pros at navigating the routines and expectations of school. They have spent many years in a classroom, from kindergarten (and perhaps even preschool) on through the grade they're in now. They are on the cusp of adolescence and looking ahead to middle school. Their maturity is showing in how they handle themselves emotionally and in terms of discipline and behavior, and they're handling increasingly challenging work at school as they tackle more difficult academic requirements in the classroom. Here's a general overview of what your child might learn in school this year.

What's Learned in 5th Grade?

Fifth grade is a year for putting all the academic pieces together. In 5th grade, your child is saying goodbye to elementary school and preparing for middle school. She may have different teachers for each subject for the first time this year and will be expected to take more responsibility for organization and long-term planning. Though curriculum varies from school to school, there are some common skills and concepts to learn in 5th grade.

Math

As your 5th grader is merely a year away from the challenging curriculum of middle school, this is the year that math programs step it up a notch. This year your child will be asked to stretch her brain to come up with solutions to more complicated problems, ones that ask her to use multiplication, division, subtraction and addition all within the same problem.

She's likely to learn the phrase "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally" as a way to remember the order in which to perform operations (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction). Your 5th grader will begin learning some geometry , including the symmetry of shapes, the roles of perpendicular and parallel lines, as well as how to use the formulas to calculate the volume of geometric shapes. Other skills learned this year include: conversion of fractions, number plotting and the features of data sets.

Reading

By now your 5th grader has grasped many of the mechanical skills of reading and should be reading chapter books with relative fluency. This year she will be challenged to read many different genres with a critical and interpretive eye. Expect your child to be doing a lot of independent reading and writing book reports that analyze the characters, plot and setting as they relate to the author's purpose in writing the book. She will also learn to back up her opinions using examples from the text.

Writing

Fifth grade writing instruction comes hand-in-hand with reading in a combined class known as Language Arts. This year students will be writing every day in a number of different ways. Many teachers will have a time for journaling during which students are asked to write for personal expression, be it poetry, autobiography or fiction. A great deal of emphasis is given to the writing process, as students master the art of editing for punctuation, flow and clarity of thought. This year your child will build a writing portfolio of her best work, a process that allows her to learn to evaluate her own work.

Science

Fifth grade students become hands-on scientists exploring the physical world this year. Areas of study include the solar system, photosynthesis, the digestive system and the chemical properties of elements. In this regard, your child will learn the Scientific Method, measuring the changes to the substances with which her experiments and presenting his findings in a factual manner.

Social Studies

The focus of social studies in fifth is citizenship. Students learn about out nation's history are challenged to analyze what they have learned for the causes, implications and different cultures of the colonies and people who founded them. Your child will learn about the evolution of our government and its branches, as well as spending time learning the geography and unique features of each of the states.

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL)
What are they?
B and T- cell lymphomas (also known as non-Hodgkin lymphomas) are cancers of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system forms part of the immune system. It contains specialised white blood cells called lymphocytes that help protect the body from infection and disease. Lymphomas arise when developing B and T-lymphocytes undergo a malignant change, and multiply in an uncontrolled way. These abnormal lymphocytes, called lymphoma cells, form collections of cancer cells called tumours, in lymph nodes (glands) and other parts of the body.
The majority of lymphomas (around 80%) arise in developing B-lymphocytes (B-cell lymphomas). The remainder arise in developing T-lymphocytes (T-cell lymphomas).
How common are they?
Each year in Australia around 3,500 people are diagnosed with type of B-cell or T-cell lymphoma* making them the most common type of blood cancer diagnosed. Overall, they represent the sixth most common type of cancer in men, and the fifth most common type of cancer in women.
Who gets lymphomas?
Lymphomas can occur at any age but they are more common in adults over the age of 50 years, who account for over 70% of all cases. Around 40 children (0-14 years) in Australia are diagnosed with lymphoma each year. Lymphomas occur more frequently in men than in women.
What causes lymphomas?
In most cases the exact cause of lymphomas remains unknown but they are thought to result from damage to one or more of the genes that normally control the development of blood cells. Research is going on all the time into possible causes of this damage and it is thought the alterations in the immune system may play a role in some cases. People with a weakened immune system (immunosuppressed) due to an inherited immune deficiency disease, HIV infection, and drugs taken to prevent rejection of a transplanted organ, all have an increased chance of developing lymphoma. Certain viruses such as the Epstein Barr virus, the virus that causes glandular fever, may be involved, particularly in people who are immunosuppressed. The bacteria helicobacter pylori is associated with a rare type of lymphoma called MALT lymphoma which usually affects the lining of the stomach wall.
What are the symptoms?
Some people don't have any symptoms when they are first diagnosed with lymphoma and the disease is picked up during a routine chest x-ray.
The most common symptom of lymphoma is a firm, usually painless swelling of a lymph node (swollen glands), usually in the neck, under the arms or in the groin.
Other symptoms may include:
- recurrent fevers
- excessive sweating at night
- unintentional weight loss
- persistent fatigue and
- lack of energy
- generalised itching
Sometimes lymphoma starts in the lymph nodes in deeper parts of the body like those found in the abdomen (causing bloating), or the lymph nodes in the chest (causing coughing, discomfort in the chest and difficulty breathing). When it is first diagnosed, it is common for lymphoma to be found in several different sites in the body at once. It can spread to any organ and may involve the spleen, liver, brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) and bone marrow.
How are they diagnosed?
B and T-cell lymphomas are diagnosed by examining cells from an affected lymph node.
How are they treated?
Treatment varies depending the exact type of B or T-cell lymphoma you have, where it has spread in your body and how fast it is likely to grow. Your age and your general health are also taken into account.
There are 30 different types of B and T-cell lymphomas, many of which affect the body in different ways, and respond differently to treatment. Some lymphomas grow quickly and need to be treated as soon as they are diagnosed. Others grow more slowly and do not need to be treated straightaway.
Both the grade of your lymphoma and whether it belongs to the B-cell or T-cell group can be determined by examining the cells from your lymph node biopsy under a microscope in the laboratory.

The idea of organizing a blog about web marketing was born in 2010 when me and my collegues of Bizonweb understood that web marketing had reached a no way back: if content is King, then social is Queen.
So here it is my first assignment about web marketing.
There's an Italian proverb I like: "Well begun is half done", so I hope this post would be interesting enough to be read. This first post will be a post of appreciation to some people that made my life different, people that helped me to understand the evolution of the web.
It was late 1997 when I had my first approach to a SEO (Search Engine Optimization) problem. I had to make visible my humanitarian association to the search engines of the time (Google had still to become a prominent search engine!). I started using some trial software to approach the solution. It was simple: just a question of keyword density, use of special tags (h1,h2,h3, title, alt etc..), a bit of keyword proximity (the higher are the keyword inside the page, the best they rank!) and the job was realized.
I started a colaboration with the web agency Bizonweb in 2003. It was 2006 when I became member of the web agency. I have been developing different jobs inside the Company since 2006, but what really makes me crazy to work on is Web Marketing.
Some people helped me … here is the list.
Paolo Zanzottera, CEO ShinyStat™. His passion for Web Analytics and web marketing has been always contagious. Thank to Paolo I learned to understand search engine algorithms just from a simple view of the natural results for certain keywords. ShinyStat became our tool to verify how far or how near we were in our web marketing strategies.
Rand Fishkin, CEO SEOmoz. I read "The Art of SEO: Mastering Search Engine Optimization (Theory in Practice)" during the Christmas holidays of 2009. I fell in love with what Rand related in the book and I started to be a supporter of SEOmoz even if till february 2010 I never had the chance to try SEOmoz tools. It was march 2010 when Rand Fishkin reached the San Marino Be Wizard meeting. It was a pleasure to listen to Randy (even if I had a terrible allergy with itching that made me asocial).
Avinash Kaushik, Market Motive. His books "Web Analytics: An Hour a Day" and "Web Analytics 2.0 : An Hour a Day" are great books that a SEO practitioner should have read. I met him at San Marino Be Wizard meeting (march 2010). I loved a lot how Avinash was improving "segmentation" to measure the performances or the conversions of any website, giving to Analytics a value added before then unthinkable.
Greg Jarboe, SEO-PR. Greg Jarboe fascinated me with his book "YouTube and Video Marketing, an hour a day". The book, for technicians and not professional viral video masters too, transmitted me a terrible wish to produce viral videos. Viral video marketing might become an important support to Web Marketing in connection with the more recent mobile marketing. I never had the chance to meet Jarboe but I hope to meet him not so far. His posts on Google Plus, Linkedin and Twitter are mandatory for all people engaged with web marketing.
Gianluca Fiorelli, I love SEO. I noticed his posts on Seomoz and Twitter during 2010. I started to follow him on Twitter. The Italian web strategist was one of the most active user at Seomoz and quite visible also in Twitter. Just in 2011 I had the chance to know him personally. It was great to listen to him on the tactics to improve the visibility of a website. He confirmed us that a no way back was realized: if content is King, then social is Queen.
We'll see if this idea will be confirmed along the course of 2012.
Dear SEOs, Happy New Year to Everbody !!!!!!

by Timothy W Long & Tim Marqitz:
Damaged have had the music career people sell their souls for, it turns out that Wex, Michael, Seth, and Sunny may have done just that; but Satan always has a price and the question is "do they want to pay it"?
The members of Heavy Metal band Damaged are rock gods and they certainly take full advantage of the sex, drugs, rock and roll lifestyle their fame has brought them.
Each character is quickly and easily introduced, showing a back story which speeds through to present day. Whilst all wonderfully fleshed out into 3D characters I found I did not like one of them! They all had a nasty or spiteful streak a mile wide.
This was a really seamless writing collaboration and it hard to tell which author fully wrote what piece, however as a huge fan of Marquitz I can tell his fight scenes a mile off, and his characters always have that "human" unpolished element to them.
In my opinion it was Long that provided all the technical music stuff (not the songs) and as I am not a fan of "Metal" I can't comment on how brilliant that was, but I'm sure it will appeal to many.
The deal is hinted at early on and then fully explained as both authors drag you through the multiple deaths, drugged out visions and dreams. The splatter, gore and sheer bloodiness of it all was rather awesome and certainly cathartic.
The slow build of tension through to the reveal, and finale, is brilliant it's like trying to look through dusky glass, you know what's there, you just want a cleaner view, and there is no holding back when it comes. The scene with the priest made me go green around the edges.
There is the odd mistake, a missing letter or name change but these hardly distract from such a riveting book, however I know some people want to pick holes in things they don't like or understand. Be Warned! this is a very graphic read.
Throughout I found some underlying, subtle humour and some very groovy one liners.
Overall this is the best book I have read in ages and I do hope they co-author again as they clearly bring something naughty and gross out in each other!

On Monday, we looked at sink skirts. Today, how about the clasic table skirt? Another chic way to use a gorgeous fabric. And you can have one custom made in any shape or size to fit a space. Can't find the right table? Have a table skirt made! Problem solved. A lot of the table skirts that we've designed for clients include shelves underneath for storage.
I especially love these first two patterned table skirts. Notice how they are tailored with pleats but the pattern of the fabric still lines up perfectly — that's the work of a good seamstress.

Impossible. I can't stand that word. Why? Because it gives people an excuse to give up, to settle for less and to be less. I could never do that. It's impossible. I could never write that book. It's impossible. I could never start my own business. I'm too young/old. It's impossible. And on and on it goes. One excuse after another of why you can't do, be or become the person you are meant to be, or accomplish what you are meant to accomplish.
We always say that nothing is impossible with God. But our actions, as well as many others things that come out of our mouths, tell a different story. You either trust God or you don't. Which is it? You either believe God's Word or you don't? Which is it? Whatever you're afraid of, Jesus is bigger and greater than that thing. He is far greater than all of your problems and circumstances.
If it's you alone trying to accomplish something in your own strength, then yes, it's impossible. But with God ANYTHING is possible. Stop telling God what can't be done and walk in faith and do what He's called you to do. God can do anything but fail. Start living like you know it.

Giorgio Armani
Even if one was not in touch with fashion and the designers behind them, you cann not notice the man. The man with the white hair and the golden tan. His silhouettes of the way suit jackets fit and were structured was a breath of fresh ingenuity.
Structural subtly and the color palettes of natural tones, and navy were heard throughout the world with awe. That was a decade and a half ago. Today, the man still has his white hair, and the golden tan. And unlike the big design houses, which were sold and bought like a garage sale, this man with the golden tan still owns his. 100% of it. It is rare to see, indeed. His clothes might be outdated somewhat to some, but for him to stick to his guns of how he started out, I applaud Giorgio Armani for it.
